Gaining Wisdom
Into today�s world, and even in today�s church we see the importance of believers possessing wisdom. There are so many situations facing our church today that we need wise leaders, wise elders, and wise Christians, in order to make sure that we are following Gods will. In our lives we are faced with many decisions, some small, some large, in which our lives, or even our salvation could be effected. Decisions over our ministries, our jobs, our houses and our marriage partners. We face problems of what advice to give to a distressed and needy friend and how to witness to those around us. For all these things we need wisdom and the wisdom that comes from God.
Today many people claim to be wise, and yet we see the effect of their wisdom on society. It is something that many people strive for, to be declared wise and clever in the face of their peers. Ever since the creation of the world men have sought this wisdom.
Genesis 3:6
When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate
The tree of life, gives eternal life, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, wisdom. The latter was forbidden for human consumption because the wisdom acquired through eating it leads to independence from God, whereas true wisdom, we will learn, begins with �the fear of the LORD� (Pr. 1:7). Here we see the very first example of us seeking wisdom in our own way instead of seeking Gods wisdom, and we can clearly see the outcome of this. How many times have we tried to work out situations in our own understanding and ultimately come a cropper. The wisdom that we need to seek is that which comes from the Lord. I want to talk about what that wisdom is, and how we can obtain it. One of the ways to do this is by looking at the person who the Bible claims to be the wisest person who ever lived, and to see what he has to say. 1 Kings Chapter 4 states that Solomon had God given wisdom.
1. Jesus is Wisdom.
When looking for the wisdom of God there is no better place to start than Solomon�s proverbs. If I was to ask you who am I, and read the following list of qualities, I just want you to think of who I would be...
I am the truth.
I walk in the way of righteousness.
I was in existence before the beginning of the world.
I helped to create the world.
I followed every command of the Lord.
He who finds me finds life.
I know if I was to look at that list I would automatically think that it was Jesus who was being talked about. In fact, these are the exact qualities that wisdom is described as having.
Proverbs 8:7
My mouth speaks what is true.
John 14:6
Jesus answered. "I am the way and the truth and the life. Nobody comes to the Father except through me."
Proverbs 8:20
I walk in the way of righteousness, along the paths of
1 Corinthians 1:30
It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God - that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.
Proverbs 8:22
"The LORD brought me forth as the first of his works. before his deeds of old.
John 1:2
He was with God in the beginning.
Proverbs 8:30 Then I was the craftsman at

Theft from Auto – 3500 Mina Terrace – Victim reports vehicle was unlocked. Suspect stole competition bows and case.
While it's likely these were archery bows, I like to think there is some sort of competition for who can tie the prettiest bows.
Theft (Shed) – 4100 Block of Gingerwood – Victim reports unlocked shed was damage by the suspect.Suspect removed gas can. Victim observed foot prints to and from the ditch line, unknown orig.
Ummm – if it's footprints, let's guess the origin was feet.
Burglary – 3200 Block of Radiance – Victim reports entry was gained by unknown means. Suspect removed Kindle Fire, cell phone, cash and laundry detergent.
I guess he made a clean getaway.

I know our blog is full of pumpkin recipes lately, but we can't help it. Amy and I are nuts for pumpkin desserts and 'tis the season. I don't regret it. These muffins are super moist, pumpkiny, and they look good too. I got the recipe from here and made a few slight alterations.
*For the muffins*
1/2 cup of butter (1 stick), softened
1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
15 oz. can of pumpkin (that's right: the whole can)
3 eggs
2 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tbsp. cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp. ground ginger (I substituted extra cinnamon instead)
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. salt
*For the streusel topping*
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
5 tbsp. butter, melted
1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts*
*(the original recipe calls for pecans, but I didn't have those so…)
1.) In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until smooth and fluffy.
2.) Add the pumpkin puree. Then add the eggs one at a time and blend everything together at medium speed.
3.) The original recipe asks you to get another bowl and mix together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and salt. But I put them directly into this mixture a little bit at a time which worked just as well.
4.) Mix until fully incorporated then spoon or pour into lightly greased muffin pan so that each cup is about 3/4 of the way full. Around this time I preheated my oven to 350 degrees F.
5.) Time to make the topping. Combine the flour, sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter together. I just used a fork and gently mixed them. You want it to come out crumbly. Then add the hazelnuts and mix everything together. (Note: I only did it in a pot because I don't have any other bowls in my dorm).
6.) Sprinkle the streusel mixture on top of each muffin (enough to cover the top of the muffin). Bake muffins for 16-22 minutes or until you can stick a toothpick in the center of one of the muffins and it comes out clean.
7.) Let them cool, take them out, and enjoy!

Jennifer Lawrence may be generating Oscar buzz for her performance in Silver Linings Playbook, but the successful actress has a hard time being proud of her performances.
"I'm my own worst critic," the already Oscar nominated actress revealed.
Because of that when asked what she was most proud of business-wise this year, Jennifer couldn't come up with an answer. So what would her parents say was their proudest moment?
"At the Toronto Film Festival for the Silver Linings Playbook premiere," Jennifer told EW. "I couldn't sit with them because I had to sit with the cast. I went out first [afterwards] and then I saw them and my Dad had tears in his eyes. I've never seen my Dad with tears in his eyes, ever."
"My first thought was that someone hurt him or something! 'What's happened to my Dad?' My mom was crying too but she always cries," Jennifer revealed. "They were really proud. That was probably the one moment I allowed myself to feel good and proud. 'Okay, Mommy and Daddy are happy. They're proud of me. This is awesome.'"
Maybe when Golden Globe nominations come out in a few weeks Jennifer will start to believe her own hype!

Nobody likes a bully and that's exactly what Washington Redskins safety Brandon Meriweather is. The talented, two-time Pro Bowl selection is known for his hard hits but has seemingly taken the hits to a new level this season, doing everything in his power to knock the opposition out of the game.
Meriweather's hits have become so vicious that he's injured himself more than once and the NFL has had enough, especially after his most recent attempts this past Sunday against the Chicago Bears when Meriweather hit wide receiver Brandon Marshall flush in the helmet.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the NFL is set to suspend the Redskins' safety for one or two games to send a message that his hits will not be tolerated:
NFL is expected to suspend Redskins S Brandon Meriweather for one to two games, per league source. The exact discipline still is being decided.
It was really a matter of time until a suspension took place and frankly, it's taken a bit too long considering how cautious the NFL has become in regards to big hits.

This one's pretty interesting. Personally, I don't think the Raiders will ever return to glory until Al Davis either sells the team or passes away. As much as I loathe Al and think he's a joke–narcissism and dementia mix to form a toxic cocktail, obviously–I love the guy's passion. I've always longed for the Chiefs (and my Pacers and Royals, for that matter) to have an owner who cared more about winning than money.
Of course, it doesn't work when the owner won't take a somewhat hands-off approach and let the football people he brings in make the football decisions. Al's problems are: A.) He thinks he's smarter than everybody else, even when it comes to Xs and Os; B.) He wants everyone to be subservient to him. Yeah, like dogs basically; and C.) He knows his time is winding down, so he's gotten ridiculously impatient. Lane Kiffin was doing fine. He already had the Silver and Black playing much better. Hell, they're a few plays away from being 3-1. I would have traded him for Herm Edwards and even thrown in some Metamucil for the Crypt Keeper. Either that or a Ouija board so that his employees could actually speak with him. Yes, I know I'm going to take heat for bashing Herm after last week, but save it. He's still a terrible game coach.
Will the Raiders ever win again while Al Davis remains in power?

I came across a sample, finally! Used it the first time tonight out at a friends birthday. The colour is good. I am very pale and usually have to mix in white foundation to get the right colour but as the white isn't good quality it gives a stippley effect, but 005 is a good colour match. I was initially put off by the smell as it has a strong perfume sent indicating a high alcohol level which could set my sensitive skin haywire, but it didnt. Usually after an hour or 2 with any other foundation (I usually use revlon colourstay) I have to blot as my face is just one massive grease ball, (and I am not over exaggerating) but after 6 hours out; talking, laughing, standing next to a BBQ, I went to check my face to see if anything had budged but not a thing had changed! Brilliant! Coverage is pretty good too. Nice and smooth. I like a lot.
Finish: matte
coverage : full
wear: full day, reasonable oil control
Dry skin: beware, moisturise well!
color match: 045 beige sable ( yellowest alternative)
other matches : Estee Lauder DW tawny, mac NC30, F&Body C3, Rimmel long lasting 220, Bourjois 10hr 53( bit light)
I was looking for a long wearing alternative after oilslick scare with the failed MAC f&b and MUFE f&b which looked terrible with -7284783 oil control.
ester lauder gave good results but was hoping for a ghost face free alternative ( also formula recently changed) and gave a smoother finish than lancome
teeint idols felt a bit tight and drying on my occasionally dry combination skin, but I'm just relieved it stayed on and controlled my oil.
no problems settling into lines given that I put down a good dollop of moisterisor prior to application.
finish wasn't as smooth as I have experienced with shu uemura face architect or Chanel teint innocence cream, fairly average.
flash, much much less white cast than ester lauder but difference between neck and face noticeable given the spf15
colour selection, so 35 is lighter than 03, and 045 lighter than 04. 04 was wayyyyyyy to pink, I'm Asian with medium toned skin and 045 was a reasonable match. Not as yellow as mac foundations.
overall I was looking for a long wear foundation good for photography at night going out, and I'm a bit let down by the flashback but this is the best I can get hold of at the moment, I expected a bit more from a high end foundation but too pov to fork out $100 for Chanel cream foundation.
I think it does what it is meant too but not the most breathtaking, luminous, poreless finish I've seen
And please moisturise first if dry, dries quickly so work in sections and remove well with good/oil mu remover ~

I am so happy that I finally decided to try this foundation! I've been using cream foundations (I love a full coverage) but have recently found their coverage TOO full and 'cakey' for a lack of a better word. This foundation is a medium to full foundation - it can be medium but is easily built up to a beautiful full flawless coverage (it easily covers any blemishes). The coverage really amazed me because the texture is such a sheer and lightweight liquid; I was amazed that such a small amount of product could create such a perfect result! The finish is relatively matte but it also isn't flat, it's quite natural and doesn't make the face lose definition. For me since the coverage is buildable I can wear it as both a day and night foundation. As for the promise to last "24 hours" I can't say that I've been awake 24 hours straight wearing it, but I have worn it for 12 hours and it's still looked great at the end. This has ended my foundation hunt, I honestly love and can't rave about it enough! It's definitely my new HG product.
Pricey but amazing. Bought it last year based on recommendations of friend and SA and have love it since.
- never oxidized on my oily/combination skin
- never caused acne breakout for me
- full coverage with brush or light-med coverage with finger, really quite flexible
- wore this to a wedding, foundation stayed put for 8hr in extreme heat and humidity in Caribbean summer
- pump package is excellent
- the price, really. 30mL for $40-50 +tax. Great for special events but not sure if I can afford to use on daily basis.
This is my HG foundation. The color matches well (I am next to pale as can be). It has a medium to full coverage, but still manages to look like skin. It's not tacky. I don't have to wear primer with it. It doesn't stick to blemishes or dry skin. It doesn't cause me any new blemishes (and I have perioral dermatitis). It sets beautifully with my Mineral Fusion setting powder. It doesn't have a smell. It is EXCEPTIONAL! Although it's on the pricy, I am happy to let loose that kind of cash ($45USD) for this kind of performance.
I love this foundation!!! It's part of my permanent makeup routine. I have acne scarring and my go to for full coverage was Kat Von Ds lock it. I still use it but only for special occasions, since its very full coverage and feels a little heavy for daily wear. Lancome's ultra24 has been my go to ever since I bought it!!!i had a back up of KVDs foundation, but I returned it! I love how this foundation is medium to full coverage, but it still looks natural and not too over done. I wear it when I work my 12 hr shifts at the hospital. I have to put on and take off masks all day and it still looks great!! I usually put on my makeup at 530Am, then be home by 815-830 and my makeup is still on and looks almost Dewey. This was my first Lancôme product, and now I've bought a ton of different ones!!! Lol!!! It's a keeper!!!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have VERY dry skin and have had trouble finding just the right foundation. I have tried lower and high end brands including revlon, clinique, shiseido, guerlain, chanel.....and Lancôme tops them all! Having dry skin, I need to moisturise and prime before using foundation otherwise my skin sucks it up and the foundation flakes off. After moisturising and putting on primer, this Lancôme foundation is the perfect consistency, perfect finish and lasts all day!! Doesn't even need powder or touch ups!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Great foundation, except for one aspect. I love the coverage, the texture, the application. Great staying power, great shade selection. But I absolutely hate the smell. I understand the American formulation is fragrance free. I am jealous, as the European version is not. Actually, not only is it NOT fragrance free, but it is VERY fragrant...to the point that it is bothersome. Dear Lancome marketing people, if you read this, who needs this amount of perfume in a foundation?
Also, the downside to it being very long wear is that it is also quite difficult to remove.
More reviews by Ladyleopard805
Fist and foremost this is my HG foundation. For the past year I have stayed away from any facial product containing sun screen because most of them break me out, not this foundation no strange white cast in photos either. Yes this product is a bit expensive, but it's worth it. I'm an NC35 for reference (320 Bisque W), have yellow undertones, dry sensitive skin, tend to get oily on my forehead and a bit on my nose, dislike cakey fake looking foundations. This makes me skin glow with health, does not break me out, stays put the whole day, looks flawless and natural, is lightweight, and just pure perfection color match wise. I set this with my Sephora 8 hour matte powder in medium, but any finely milled powder will do. If you've been searching high and low for the perfect foundation the buck stops here.
Compared to the now discontinued 14 hour counterpart, the newly reformulated 24 hour provides a much heavier coverage. This foundation is truly a full coverage foundation.
Pros: sturdy glass bottle with a pump, full coverage, long lasting
Cons: thick consistency (don't recommend as a summer foundation because it does feel heavy on the skin)
Tips: This foundation oxidizes to a shade darker than when first pumped from the bottle, so I recommend buying a color half to a full shade lighter than what you think would be a perfect match for the skin.
Overall, I think it provides a large bang for the buck as it isn't too pricey yet works better than some of the more expensive liquid foundations on the market. I was an avid user of the 14 hour teint idole ultra, that being said I wish they had kept that version on the market as well. Regardless, I think this is a very nice foundation

Inching from the cradled arms,
Careful not to wake the boy,
The knight begins his watch
His sword and shield deployed.
The defender of dreams,
And protector of the mind.
He shall show no mercy
For nightmares he may find.
The battlefield in darkness,
He waits at the gates of Hell,
For any beast emerge,
Will hear the ringing knell.
But morning shows its face,
And the gates below are closed.
The boy arises safe
With his teddy bear to hold.

You've probably fallen into the trap of cooking up a healthier version of a favorite guilty pleasure only to be disappointed when the first bite tastes like cardboard. But it's possible to give your mind and taste buds a fake-out, reports a new University of Colorado study.
Researchers served test meals of meatloaf with gravy, broccoli and cauliflower in butter sauce, and penne with creamy white sauce to 148 men and women between the ages of 18 and 65. Over the course of a few days, participants ate a full-fat, reduced-fat, and reduced-fat with added spice version of the meal and rated their enjoyment and each of the meal's components. It turns out participants enjoyed the reduced-fat meal with added spices as much as the full-fat version.
That's good news if you're trying to punch up the enjoyment of your trimmed-up diet without adding much to your meal, but when people rated the separate dishes in the meal, they weren't feeling the spiced-up version quite as much as the full-fat fare.
This is probably because enjoying savory foods is less about the flavor and more about the way the food feels in your mouth, which spices can't quite mimic, says study author John C. Peters, Ph.D. "We all know that low-fat or fat-free ice cream just isn't the same as the real thing," Peters says. "But herbs and spices can work especially well on the everyday items like lean meats and vegetables."
You don't need a cabinet filled with the most exotic spices to improve the pleasure factor of most foods. Peters suggest having these common spices handy: garlic, rosemary, thyme, oregano, basil, parsley, cilantro, cinnamon, and cayenne.
For a dish like lean meatloaf, try adding savory herbs—oregano, parsley, and garlic, for instance—for a richer mouthfeel, suggests Rocco DiSpirito, celebrity chef and author of The Pound A Day Diet. He also recommends adding nutmeg to mashed potatoes for added depth without loading on butter, and mustard powder can provide a rich, full-fat taste when you're making healthier macaroni and cheese.

The past few months I've been a member of the West Side Story crew at CHHS, and it has been one of the most fun and amazing experiences of my life ! It definitely has its ups and downs but over all I'm happy to be a part of it. The atmosphere, the people, everything about being in theater is just so great !
At the start of the show the teachers and directors said that by the end of it all we'd be like family, and at first I didn't believe it at all. I was 1 out of 4 freshman on a cast and crew of 100 and I didn't think I'd get to know too many people in only a matter of 2 months. Now I can honestly say they were right ! Its gonna be so hard to part from the people I've met and grown to love. Opening night is tomorrow and ready or not, its gonna be great ! It has to be ! can't wait for what's to come :)
So lately I've been feeling like I'm just going through the motions. Just doing what I have to do over and over again. I find my mind drifting off a lot more than it should. I'm just tired of everything at the moment. mainly.. i miss my dad.
Its been 8 months since he passed away and i honestly think the 'depression' and 'anger' stage are just now hitting me. things seems a bit more dull these days and I haven't been able to find the inspiration to do what I love anymore. Everything that reminds me of my dad has just been screaming out at me lately, not that he's not already on my mind. I'm just momentarily confused with life. And mostly with God. I talk to him everyday and do my best to understand but I can remain content for only so long.
I get annoyed extremely easily now and grow irritated with the littlest things. most times all I want to do now is cuddle up with my teddy bear in bed and think of nothing. Just lay there for hours.
I hate how we run through life doing what 'we're suppose to' and having to put things that don't even please us before ourselves. I hate fear. more than anything in the world, I hate fear. I hate feeling like a coward. I hate the thought that anyone can be taken just like my dad so instantly and suddenly. I hate being terrified that I will never accomplish my dreams before I die. I am scared and sometimes I have no idea what I'm even scared of. I'm tired of pleasing others before myself. But thats how I am, and it bothers me. I'm just exhausted; physically, mentally, &emotionally. Just sick of things at the moment.
Dad, I need you. i love you. i miss you.
There's no masking it or disguising it. I miss you by my side. I miss the look you would give me, as If I was all that mattered. I wish I could feel your arms around me again, and your lips pressed against mine. The way your touch would linger after you'd walked away. Even the way you smelt when you pulled me close. The coolness of your breath, light on my lips, and the warmth of your cheek beside mine. The back massages you would give me, and the way you ran your hands through my hair. Your laugh was so contagious and the sound of your voice made my heart skip a beat.
If I were to say I took a risk on you is a matter of opinion. If I gave you my heart or not is still unclear to even myself, but I do know you hurt it. And I don't think I love you enough to give you that chance again. Someone once told me that you should give your heart to someone you think is worth being hurt over. Someone you're willing to risk the pain and heartbreak. Someone who's willing to do the exact same thing with their own heart. Because that's what the act of love is. It's giving each other your heart and taking the risk together, because no matter what happens, you know it was all worth it. And if it truly is love then it is worth it.
The expression "love is a battlefield" is one most of us have heard and that's the truth. And just like a battlefield we stop in the middle of it all and wonder. "Is this a battle worth fighting?" and the answer, if it's truly love, is yes. It's always worth the battle no matter the cost. If you come up with the answer "no" then really what are you fighting for? I don't think I can carry on this battle for you any longer. I don't think you're worth the heartache and pain a second time, or even the first time to be frank. The way you made me feel was something special. Something great. But nothing at all unique. Any charmer or smooth talker could have done what you did, but you made me believe you were something more. Something to hold on to. And as of right now, I'm still not sure how true that is. Please, don't think I'm only hating on you, or putting you down for my benefit.
The truth is, you were a great guy. Kind hearted and sweet. But I guess you weren't everything I saw you to be. Clearly I don't know you as well as I thought, or as well as I hoped. You seem unsure of yourself and what you want. It almost seems you're still trying to find out who you are even though you try to pull off that you know exactly who you are. You're still just a boy. Not a man, not even close. And don't take that as an insult. I'm not saying I'm anything better than just a little girl. But you have to accept that yourself and realize, you don't know everything, you're not a man, and you don't have control.
You told me you still care about me and like me more than you can say. So why did you let me go? I honestly don't think I will fully understand why you did it. And there's no way I'll ever really be able to know. I don't plan on going out of my way to figure it out but I can't help but ponder the thought every so often.
This is another reason I can't see myself giving you my heart in the future, no matter how far. I just don't see why I would give my heart back to someone who already returned it once before. I don't know how I could hold on to someone who already let go. I don't know how I could pick up a flame that already burned me once.
Sure everyone deserves a second chance. And of course, if you let the one you love go and they come back to you then it's truly worth it. Maybe this isn't love at all, because I don't want to come back. I just can't do that to myself. I don't think I can take the risk again. I don't think you could either. You just think you can…
Mixed signals and awkward silences,
you played me hot and cold.
from the start of it all I wasn't sure how to feel.
part of me knew i was making a mistake,
part of me didn't give a care in the world.
the only thing i saw was you. you were all i wanted.
I put my faith, trust, and hope in you.
I didn't hesitate when you asked me to be yours.
I gave you you're space, i was sure to not push you at all.
But the whole time I questioned what we were doing.
If we were right, if it would work out and if it was worth it..
.. Was it all worth it.
I can just hear my brother now..
the term "I told you so" comes to mind, ha
I feel so stupid, but really the word is ignorant.
My trust in you was such a gamble and truth is,
I don't know if it was all too worth it.
there is so much about you that kept me holding on
to what i was already doubting.
your kisses sent chills up my spine, and your touch tingled;
the way you looked at me was as if i was all you could see;
you held me as if I was the most precious thing to you;
you talked to me as if no one else mattered;
you stood by me when he didn't, when he couldn't and when he didn't want to.
you supported me in a way no one else knew how;
you had me thinking about you 24/7, when i woke up and fell asleep;
the littlest things you said made me just melt;
the way you smelt alone was hypnotizing;
the sound of your voice was a soothing song.
But in the end you were just like him.
you said you didn't care enough, so did he;
you said you were to busy and stressed, so did he;
and you said (though it wasn't enough) you still cared, so did he.
In the end it was as if you couldn't even speak for yourself.
you were just following the first instinct to pop in your mind.
you were listening to someone who was the first to break my heart.
you barely could even say anything to my face.
Now I don't want to talk to you,
I don't want to see you,
I don't want to feel your presence,
I don't want to hear about you,
think about you, be reminded of you, or have anything to do with you.
And you don't even know that I know the things you said.
like him, you made me feel stupid,
uncared for, unimportant,
and flat out not good enough.
i put so much faith in you and you threw it back in my face.
you have me regretting, resenting, and wanting to rewind.
you have my emotions all confused and mixing with each other.
I'm Upset, disappointed, annoyed, sad, irritated, angry,
in disbelief, frustrated, hateful, but most of all, relieved.
I doubted it all so much, i was afraid of losing you,
but now that its actually over I can breath again.
i can think right, and not have to worry.
I prayed to God that things would work out between us,
and even though we broke up, God answered my prayers loud and clear.
He decided to end it before it got too deep,
before it would have been more heart breaking and difficult.
he saved me the trouble of being sad over you for too long,
missing you too much, and wanting you back so bad.
because the truth is,
I don't want you; I don't need you.
I shouldn't be feeling stupid, you should,
I did everything right, and everything fine.
All i did was be the person you knew i was.
I can do better, I deserve better.
I'M YOUNG ! boys are just a hobby ha.
you weren't who i thought, or who i believed you to be.
But in the end, again, I need to ask myself one more time;
'Was it worth it all?'
was it worth all the emotion, frustration, and pain?
was it worth the risk and gamble and trust lost?
was it worth the broken friendship, the hurt feeling, the regret?
was it worth having to be told 'I told you so' over and over?
The answer is..
Yes. yes it was worth all the trouble.
you were worth it because what we had was good,
it was everything that was right, it was pure and true.
the keyword in it all is 'was'. But though this lasted
a very short amount of time, I have gained so much from you.
and I thank you for that. It was a good run, but its at its end.
"He told me he loved me, but i guess it just died out, like everything else,
that is beautiful in this world."
and that's the truth. what we had was beautiful,
but its dead now and i accept that its gone and
that its time to move on and let go.
There is omething out there waiting for me,
and you're just not meant to be a part of it.
truth is, I don't think it'll be too hard this time.
well. goodbye then. I hope you know what you're doing ha.
P.S. oh, and boy. you don't even know dramatic ;P
Everything is a gift from God. everything. you just have to see it and accept it. Maybe you won't see it right away, but eventually you will, and you'll be grateful.

The same could be said for Americans in general too. Wages have been going downhill for a decade will commodity prices spiked due to Federal Reserve bubble generation. The situation with the borders make places like Southern Arizona, where my aunt lives, dangerous as well; going out in the wilderness has become a far dicier proposition with the cartels having outposts in that area according to her. Even Phoenix AZ has become the kidnapping capitol of the U.S. because of this.
This is to say that the problems across the border don't just stay on the Mexican side, and our problems hardly stay confined to the U.S., as much of the world can tell you.

So far, the Ebola Virus has only come up in urban areas. On the surface it may not seem like it, but that is really a good thing. If Ebola should raise its ugly head in rural America, I am afraid that a whole lot of people will die because of it. Over at Fox News, the hysteria machine is in full swing. They are complaining that Ebola is a terrible threat to us all. Of course, they are pointing their finger at the present administration.
One thing they are not talking about at Fox News, or anywhere else for that matter, is the danger that faces Rural America should Ebola ever show up there. You see, hundreds of hospitals in Rural America are closing their doors. They are shutting down their services to areas where there isn't a big choice of medical treatment to begin with. Republicans in those areas are blaming "Obamacare" for the closures. They are partly correct.
The major reason Rural America is losing their hospitals is because these same Republicans have refused to expand Medicaid in their states. This refusal is in the face of not having to pay for the expansion for the first three years, and then only picking up ten percent of the costs after that. This refusal to expand Medicaid has resulted in millions of people going without health insurance.
As a result, a lot of hospitals, especially in Rural America have had to treat uninsured people pro bono. Meaning they don't get any money for treating the poor. This has resulted in hospitals across the country, especially in Rural America, to lose money. As a result, they have no choice but to shutter their hospitals.
There are many places in rural areas where people need to drive up to 150 miles to get to a hospital. On top of that, most rural hospitals are not equipped to handle infectious diseases like Ebola. That means if Ebola creeps into Rural America, the treatment of the patients is questionable at best. Plus, since they are not equipped to handle such cases, there is a real possibility of the virus spreading due to lack of proper equipment and protocols.
What has been the Republican response to this very potential disaster? Nothing! The real terrible thing about this, is that their strongest base lives in Rural America. Yet they are doing nothing about it. The normal government agencies that could help Rural America are having a harder time helping because of all of the budget cuts that the Republicans have placed on them.
Furthermore, since many of Rural America are the people who have been most affected by the refusal to expand Medicaid in Red States, they are much more hesitant to go to the hospital if they should get a sudden rise in temperature, which is one of the first indicators that you may have Ebola. That means that they won't drive the 150 miles to get to a hospital because they can't afford the treatment.
If a major outbreak of Ebola should break out in the U.S., the Republicans who refused to expand Medicaid will be mostly responsible for it. These fear mongers are very willing to tell America that we face elimination from the virus, yet they are very willing to allow millions of their constituents to be exposed due to lack of health care.
Lack of affordable health care has always been a major contributor to the spread of infectious diseases. Because of political barbarity, millions of Americans still lack affordable health care. That has resulted in the closing of hundreds of hospitals, the lack of ability to prepare for such infectious disease outbreaks, and the very lives of people they are supposed to represent.
That is not just bad politics. It is criminal!

Vista granted Invecture Group S.A. de C.V. a right to earn a 62.5% interest in the Los Cardones (formerly named Concordia) gold project in Mexico and we hold a ~28% interest in Midas Gold Corp. which has a large exploration property in Idaho, including the Yellow Pine property previously held by Vista. Vista's other holdings include the Awak Mas gold project in Indonesia and the Long Valley gold project in California. Vista continues to evaluate value creating opportunities and is committed to sustaining its tradition of creating shareholder value.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - The board that governs the Orlando International Airport has reached a deal with a private company that could make an intercity passenger rail between Orlando and Miami one step closer.
The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority reached an agreement with All Aboard Florida to put a station at the airport.
The agreement also gives the private company funding the rail line an easement to lay down track on airport property.
The $1.5 billion project is being privately financed and could bring passenger rail between Orlando and Miami in 2015.
The rail plans to have stops in the downtowns of Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach.

Advocates say 'SunCredit' flap shows how CPS undervalued rooftop solar
Published: May 15, 2013
Last Thursday, CPS Energy CEO Doyle Beneby threw water on a controversy that burned for nearly a month, delaying a program that would slash how much the public utility reimburses rooftop solar customers for the power their systems produce. While CPS and the local solar industry have at least a year to strike a compromise, critics say there's lingering concern over how CPS arrived at its proposal, how quickly CPS brass planned on rolling it out, and how the San Antonio utility's behavior clashed with actions taken by other municipally-owned utilities.
CPS' abrupt decision to change how rooftop solar customers are compensated for energy they produce panicked local installers last month. CPS insisted that net metering, a scheme in which every kilowatt-hour a rooftop system produces offsets a kilowatt-hour the customer consumes from CPS, threatened to upend the utility's current model. As ratepayers choose rooftop solar, those fixed costs to maintain power plants, power lines, transformers and meters (so-called "fixed assets") get pushed onto a smaller pool of non-solar customers, CPS contended. So, to make it "fair to all ratepayers," and to recover those costs, on April 9 CPS announced it was cutting that reimbursement rate to 5.6 cents per kilowatt-hour, a 44 percent decrease that solar installers claimed would kill the local industry, making rooftop solar systems impossible to sell to residential customers.
The uproar from local solar installers and advocates prodded CPS to backtrack more than once. At first, the utility said solar customers could keep net metering for a decade before being switched to its new rate under its so-called SunCredit system. Then CPS agreed to grandfather those customers for the life of their systems. The April 26 deadline, inconveniently in the middle of Fiesta, was bumped back to May 31.
Still, local installers balked at being given a little less than two months to figure out how to adapt to a new business model.
"I can't sell a system on 5.6 cents," an exasperated Billy Hill, owner of Hill Electric, told the Current earlier this month. "CPS is saying their SunCredit will eventually go up in a few years. Well, it kills our industry today. No one will invest in a system that, by today's rate, takes 20 years to pay off."
On May 1, installers like Hill flooded City Hall, pleading with Council members to tell CPS to back off. Then came a contentious public meeting between installers, their rooftop solar customers, and CPS reps on May 3. Though CPS attempted to ease their concerns, none left the table happy. CPS spokesperson Lisa Lewis insisted it wasn't all doom and gloom for installers, given that the utility had been flooded with proposals from customers trying to get in on the net-metering game before the rate change.
Solar San Antonio director Lanny Sinkin had a different take. Customers who had already committed and had investments lined up were rushing in, for sure. But major long-term projects were backing out in droves, Sinkin insisted. "We've surveyed 19 companies, with a total of 422 employees here in San Antonio," he said. "We saw 74 projects canceled or suspended, at a value of $17.7 million."

Revenge is sweet for Mark Jackson. The Knicks started their west-coast trip last night in the Bay area against the former Knick Mark Jackson's Warriors. The final score was 92-78, but the game looked worse than the score. The Knicks were outscored 28-14 in the fourth quarter, and the Warriors went on a 28-6 tear to blow the lid off the game. The Stat and Melo tandem combined for only 29 points on a dismal 8 for 27 from the field. Mike D'Antoni was livid about his team's effort on the offensive side:
via NYDailyNews
"I thought the whole game our offense was awful," Mike D'Antoni said. "We had an opportunity here and we didn't make shots. We threw the ball away. We were never in sync. This was the type of game where it looked like we just weren't ready."
The Knicks as a team shot only 40% (28-70)from the field and 19%(4-21) from the three point land. Numbers like these always add up to a loss. The defensive effort from the Knicks was evident in the first half, but the players must have forgotten their D in the locker room after the half, the Warriors started to get easy bucket after another. In the second half the Knicks couldnt get into a scoring groove, majority of the shots in the 3rd quarter were taken by either Amare or 'Melo, and as the numbers show, not many of those shots were going down.
The Knicks are looking to redeem themselves tonight against the Lakers, LA is coming off the NBA's first back to back to back nights of any team.
Daily Knicks fans, can the Knicks Big 3 have a bounce back game tonight or will we witness more struggles from the new team?

Feminist Frequency on race and casting for The Hunger Games
One of our less predictable older students is enamored with The Hunger Games, which means there's always something to have a conversation about. She bust out the racism discussion this week, noted the character descriptions in the book, and rolled her eyes. Her official edict was that people needed to "read the book" and "stop being stupid."
Maybe one of the best things about this movie is that it's bringing the race conversation to a story that so many young people care about — and what if for each of those horrifying, outraged, racist comments about the casting, one young person who never necessarily encountered, recognized, or thought about racism before starts a conversation?

AT&T extending FaceTime to cellular customers
[From Hans] AT&T extending FaceTime to cellular customers. ""In a recent thread we were discussing AT&T members getting facetime with LTE devices and tiered plans. However I noticed today that I have facetime over cellular and I have an unlimited plan on my 5. I just turned off my other phone, a 4S and turned it back on, only to find the switch flipped to ON for facetime over cellular. Both phones work perfectly over cellular. I also checked a few coworkers phones, all now have FT over cellular."

Semi-dwarf on Citation rootstock.
Zones: 5-9
Chill hours: 400-500
Harvest: August 5 - September 1
Looks: Green-yellow skin with red spots the coloring turns to maroon and yellow as the fruit ripens. Creamy white and red freestone flesh.
Personality: Wonderful plum-apricot flavor.
Facts of note: One of the top 3 Taste Test scorers over all in the annual Dave Wilson's Taste Test.
Developed by Zaiger.
Pollination: Pollinated by other pluots, or Late Santa Rosa and Burgundy plums.
The Pluot® is "Interspecific" meaning it is a complex hybrid of 70 percent plum, 30 percent apricot with decidedly more plum-like traits. Smooth-skinned like a plum, the Pluot® is sturdy and durable with luscious flavor. It has the chin-dripping juiciness of a fully ripe plum without the notoriously tough skin and tart center typical of the parent plum. The complex, intense flavor of Pluot® is unique to interspecifics, much like a blend of fruit juices where the mixture is an improvement over any of the separate ingredients. One of the sweetest fruits, with 16-24 Brix probably explains why Pluots® dominate the Dave Wilson Taste Tests. The fruit is very high in Vitamin A. Pluots® were bred by Zaiger Genetics Inc. of Modesto California. Trees are 2 years old and should begin to fruit in their 4th or 5th year. Citation Rootstock is tolerant of wet soil, induces early dormancy in dry soil, is very winter hardy, resists root knot nematodes, and produces a 12'-18' tree. By pruning you can keep your tree at any height.
Please Note: Although most of our bare-root trees arrive to our warehouse in mid-December, there are a few varieties -- Mulberry, Pecan, Persimmon, Quince, and Walnut -- that will not arrive until mid-January. If you order any of those varieties along with varieties that arrive in mid-December, your order will be delayed for shipment until mid-January unless you ask us to split your shipments and agree to pay any additional shipping charges resulting from two separate shipments.
Check out our Fruit Tree Harvest Chart to plan for successive harvests.

HERfinance Leverages the HERproject Model to Increase Financial Inclusion of Workers
Chhavi Ghuliani, Manager, Advisory Services, BSR
This week BSR launches HERfinance, a collaborative initiative aimed at increasing financial inclusion for low income workers in global supply chains. Like its parent initiative, HERproject, HERfinance brings together partners from various sectors—in this case, financial service providers, multinational companies and their suppliers, and non-profit organizations to educate workers in the supply chain about using formal savings accounts, budgeting, and talking about finances with family members.
HERfinance has been in the works for a while, and I'm particularly excited about this new effort for a number of reasons:
- The need is enormous. A staggering two and a half billion of the world's adults—the vast majority of whom live in the developing world—do not use formal financial services to save or borrow money. And women tend to be more excluded than men from the banking system. Because HERfinance targets manufacturing and agriculture supply chain workers, who are predominantly women, women stand to gain disproportionately from this effort. As such, our financial capability curriculum will contain modules specifically targeted to women.
- HERfinance focuses on savings. While true financial inclusion only exists when people have access to a broad range of financial services, a formal savings account is a gateway to financial inclusion for the unbanked. By establishing formal savings accounts, people can build creditworthiness, and learn how to budget, save, and invest. In my view, there has been insufficient focus on savings and perhaps excessive focus on microcredit, and HERfinance will highlight the importance of savings.
- We will address both supply and demand. In addition to providing financial capability training, which will help drive demand for formal services, we will also bridge the gap to financial products. While HERfinance will start with a training curriculum, our goal is to eventually work with financial services providers and factory managers to automate payroll and expand the choices low income workers have in how they store their income.
- This is BSR's contribution to the field. By leveraging our organization's strengths in supply chain sustainability, and workforce empowerment, we will be able to demonstrate how companies across all sectors can expand access to finance.
Next month we will go to India to introduce HERfinance to our initial participating factories, select local partners, and conduct a needs assessment of our target audience. This will help shape our training curriculum both from a content and delivery perspective.
Early next year we will launch pilot programs in these factories and measure how our work is impacting beneficiaries—how it is improving morale, reducing payroll delays, and changing behavior. We'll want to know how many people have moved from saving their incomes in cash under their mattresses to saving in a formal bank account. We'll ask how many people have begun to create savings goals such as for school books for their children, or for medicines they need on a regular basis. And, how many people now understand their rights as consumers of financial services—how to protect themselves, and how to take advantage of the financial safety nets provided by the government.
HERproject has already reached more than 200,000 women since it first launched a few short years ago. HERfinance is poised to do the same. And while that may be a small population in comparison to the sheer number of unbanked people in the world, it is only the beginning and is further proof that the HERproject model works for all stakeholders involved—workers, factories, and the companies that purchase goods and services from them.
Which successful financial inclusion initiatives are you aware of that are targeted to low-income workers?
