I have never made one, but am all of a sudden wanting one. Any help will be appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
First - you need really good vodka. Don't believe people who tell you all vodka tastes the same because it's a neutral spirit. Not true. Two of the best are Belvedere and Chopin. Chopin is made in Poland from potatoes while Belvedere is made in Poland from rye - they do NOT taste the same. Grey Goose is okay (made in France) but, not one of my favorites. All of the cheap vodkas taste like they should be used to run model airplanes.... Put a shot of vodka in a glass. Enjoy + eat the celery as you drink the Bloody Mary. |
Tito's Handmade Vodka made in - Austin, Texas - is also a very good vodka. It's won the Double Gold Medal in several competitions over other vodkas from all over the world. It's charcoal filtered which removes the phenols, esters, etc. Extremely smooth, the only vodka I'll drink straight by the shot. |

I realize this is an old post and hopfully the OP has sated their appetite for a good bloody mary. I only might add, there are some reasonably good BM mixes on the market that only require the addition of vodka and perhaps the addition of a stalk of celery garnish. These mixes vary in intensity to match your pallett. I am a bourbon drinker but I keep vodka on hand for friends who don't understand the proper way to make a martini. I buy Tito's because it is a very good vodka and I like to support Texas companies. I have also discovered Dripping Springs Texas Vodka, which is a copper still vodka like Tioto's. It is hand crafted in Dripping Springs, Texas, which is west of Austin. |
I agree that a good vodka is key. I usually buy Chopin, and I won't drink French vodka. But here's a cheap-o way to deal with vodka: buy a middle-of-the-road vodka, and run it through a Brita carafe filter a couple times. No kidding, it becomes as smooth as any super-premium vodka. As for my bloody mary, I do it by feel, so I don't have exact measurements, but I like mine this way: vodka (of course) Just a touch of the following ingredients: I know it sounds like a lot, but I like the results. |

There's a beautiful queen palm tree at work with an unusually thick pale trunck and it is giving some green fruits (seeds?).I don't know if these are the seeds, but I opened one and it has some liquid inside. I would love to be able to germinate these seeds and hopefully be able to grow a similar palm. Any advice? Are these really seeds? Should I dry these fruits (seeds) or should I plant them right away. I would appreciate any suggestions?
Thanks a lot! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Let them ripen on the tree. They'll be ripe when they turn orange. Then cut them down and let them dry before planting. |
They look a bit like acorns when immature |
Hi I had the best luck with those that had fallen from the stalk. I just planted in a pot directly with no cleaning. Got 47 plants from 50 seeds . Now what do you do with 47 queen palms ?? lol The seeds originate from a separate stalk no mistaking them for anything else. Good luck gary |
Our tree is dropping the seeds while they're green. Will they sprout? |

350 Mr S. M. Bruce, High Commissioner in London, to Mr R. G. Menzies, Prime Minister
Cablegram [391] [1] LONDON, 7 June 1940, 7.58 p.m.
Practically no details of fighting received from French. British division[s] on left of the line are being very hard pressed. Broad picture in the Prime Minister's [2] words: 'French bearing up but weight heavy', and from Spears, the Prime Minister's representative in Paris: 'French fighting much better'. My own impression is that the line too long and too thinly held and that German pressure so great will be forced back either slowly taking heavy toll or rapidly if serious break through at any point. If the Germans reach Paris I have grave apprehensions of French collapse but the Prime Minister hopes that even in such an event the French will continue to resist.
Dropping of Daladier [3] has been expected for some days as apparently nerve gone under strain and constituted an element of weakness. He may however be a certain danger outside the Cabinet.
Italy. No development. First ships (my telegram No. 376) [4] have been stopped.

This is a very basic coverstick. My shade is the "neutralizer" It is yellow toned and very light. Looks chastly even on my NC 15 skintone. It does not cover enough and it creases. Would probably be better as a stick foundation if it did not cause me any breakouts. For those who can get Collection 2000 I recommend their wand concealer ahead this because that one covers way better and does stay on. Also I think Max Factor panstick has a better coverage than this one. I cant detect any fragrance, like Covergirl Cheekers do have.

This concealer does a great job of lightening my dark circles. For me, it doesn't work well for blemishes because I have dry skin, and this makes my skin drier. It'll occasionally dry out my under eye area as well. Although I really like it, I think I'll look for a concealer that's a little less drying.

I was really disappointed, because everyone loved this concealer but me! :'( Maybe it was too light? I really don't know...it just went really deep into my fine lines in my eye bags, and it went on really white. I even had primer...Good luck to any one who buys this, hopefully it works good for you. If your a picky girl, with intense eye bags, its not worth it.

I use the fair shade of this to cover dark circles which it does well. My only complaints are that it requires 2-3 touch ups depending on the length of wear and after carrying it in my purse the cap begins to crack. I don't use this to cover blemishes because the waxes and thickeners used to make this lipstick shaped can clog pores and make breakouts worse. I use this with the fair shade of covergirl BB cream and the colors blend well.

This concealer is amazing! I have a lot of acne red marks and this is great for covering up redness. I apply this lightly over my scars and then apply my smoothers powder (which is also great) and my skin looks flawless! It doesnt break me out either.Just be careful because if you put too much on it could become cakey. Otherwise the whole line of smoothers products is wonderful! Definitely will repurchase

I bought this concealer in green. I have horrible redness around my nose and cheecks. Not to mention these huge red zits that pop up randomly. I put this wherever I need to hide the redness. I don't even need to use a foundation with this! It completly gets rid of redness. I have never been in love so much with this product. It blends super quick and easily, which is good when I have only a few minutes to put on makeup in the mornings. I put a skin colored concealer and powder over top this and it looks amazing. I'm just totally impressed with this color. I usually try to avoid colored concealers in the first place, but then I started breaking out really bad (I found out my sister was using my brushes and used makeup sponges...gross)! This solves all my problems. Thank you so much covergirl!

This stuff is AMAAAAZING! I have sensitive skin, and this stuff has been through the ups and downs of my skin as a teenager. It's creamy and long lasting with great coverage. I buy medium, and the color blends in amazingly in my skin. I do have pale tan skin, with strong yellow undertones...not a very usual color, but this cover-up is my color.
A tube of this will last me for months, and I love how portable it is. I don't even use foundation. Just a dab of this stuff around my nose, under my eyes, and a bit of my chin and I'm ready to set it with powder.
For me, this is perfection.

I had given up on concealers as they were all to dark or too yellow and none of them really stayed in place or concealed anything. Until now.
About me. I have NC 10 skin with pink undertones, small pores, clear complexion and hardly any lines in my mature skin. Good genes. However, I have pink undertones and red around my nose and some light grey under eye smudges that need brightening up.
thanks to you guys, I bought this product in neutralizer and illuminizer. Wow!! Neuralizer covers the red, blends in perfectly with my skin tone and lasts until I take it off. Does not move, twitch or travel. I use the illuminizer (beige/pink shade) under my eyes and again with the "wow". Makes be look 10 years younger and flawless. I'm not kidding you. I haven't been so excited about any kind of makeup in a long time but these little tubes really do the trick.
I dab a little on in the areas I want covered and then use a small eyeshadow brush to blend. I use no foundation generally but a little powder on the nose and to even out things. I look photoshopped.
Like the packaging, paid $8.95 Cdn for each tube, and will definitely keep purchasing. Thank you ladies.

I think that this a good concealer. It isn't great nor is it bad. The color is true to its packaging. It is actually very smooth. The pigmentation and coverage is good. It tends to feel a little cakey and the saying power is decent.

Hi. I want an adjustable bar stool with a leather seat/back that swivels and I do see many online and in advertisements that are either black, white or red. I want a bold leather or faux leather color like aqua or yellow. Has anyone seen anything like that? Or does anyone know of a furniture store that has a similar stool that you can customize?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Their are a number of bar stool manufactures and if they not have the color you like, you can always purchase the the leather from a leather supplier and send to the manufacturer. |

Home Congregations About Us Bookstore Press Room Giving
Page Navigation
April 4, 2012
It is our pleasure to announce the formation of the new Unitarian Universalist (UU) College of Social Justice and our great delight to announce the appointment of the Rev. Kathleen McTigue as its inaugural Director.
The UU College of Social Justice is a formal collaboration of the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) and the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee. Its mission is to increase the capacity of Unitarian Universalists to catalyze justice. Building on several years of successful UUA-UUSC partnership, especially in the area of disaster response, the College will combine resources of both organizations to offer current leaders and future activists of any age a broader and more effective portfolio of service learning and justice education experiences.
Our vision is to provide transformative learning experiences that equip our current and future leaders with a deeper first-hand understanding of the roots of injustice, direct experience in successful social change, a deeper grounding in Unitarian Universalism and their own spiritual resources and encouragement to put their own call to justice into action. Beyond the service learning and justice education programs which will serve as the starting point for the College, we aspire over time to assist congregations in discerning their own focus for social justice work, to more effectively harness our collective UU power for change on selected issues of central importance to our faith, and to build our capacity for advancing justice in the local communities we serve. In all these respects, the College is intended to be an enduring educational institution that transforms lives and shapes our shared ministry for the years to come.
We could not be more fortunate than to have The Rev. Kathleen McTigue lead the start-up of this new venture. Rev. McTigue brings an activist's passion to the work, having studied fascism in Spain, researched and written about economic strategies to end apartheid in southern Africa and witnessed for peace through years of work in the U.S. and Central America. Most importantly, she brings 25 years of experience in parish ministry, having served for the last 21 years as senior minister of the Unitarian Society of New Haven, CT. She has not only helped build a thriving congregation there but has been an extraordinarily effective alliance-builder and strong public voice for justice on behalf of peace, marriage equality and immigrant rights. In addition, Kathleen has served in the leadership of the Unitarian Universalist Ministers Association (UUMA). In all these forms of ministry she has distinguished herself as a passionate, grounded and highly accomplished leader. She was recently selected by her colleagues celebrating 25 years in ministry to speak on their behalf at this year's UUMA meeting in Phoenix, an honor that recognizes their esteem for Kathleen's ministry.
Kathleen will begin in her new role on a limited-time consulting basis as of May 21 and will be present for the official launch of the College at this year's Justice General Assembly. She will begin as the full-time Director of the College on July 16.
From the moment 74 years ago when American Unitarian Association President Frederick May Eliot asked The Rev. Waitstill Sharp and Martha Sharp to undertake the work that ultimately led to the formation of the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee, our two institutions have been on a joint mission to cross boundaries that separate people, to become true allies with those who are marginalized and oppressed, and to be more powerful religious catalysts for justice. Today's announcement represents an exciting next step on that faithful journey.
Please join us in celebrating this new milestone for Unitarian Universalism and offering our hearty congratulations and full support to Kathleen in this vital work.
In faith and witness,
Rev. Peter Morales Rev. William F. Schulz President President Unitarian Universalist Association Unitarian Universalist Service Committee

Two new pictures for my mirror album
posted by: slowmedown on 08.26.2006 at 04:56 pm in Garden Junk Forum These are the two mirrors I made for my daughter Shea, who lives in Dallas. The one on the long beaded rope is made from shards of her favorite antique mirror. She had thrown them away, and quickly retrieved them at my request. I didn't cut any of them, just siliconed them w/black onto a plywood base. In the silicon "grout" I put small beads. The rope was from Hobby Lobby's Christmas section a couple years back. On the other large mirror, I inserted a small mirror she had crackled finished. It was originally on a little stand. When the stand was broken, she was gonna put the mirror in a garage sale. I grabbed it, of course, and said Mom'll make you something pretty. Ornamentations on the top are more Hobby Lobby Christmas decorations.

Quickcrete Mortar Project (1 of 2 pics)
posted by: slowmedown on 08.30.2006 at 08:44 am in Garden Junk Forum In Nical's posting of "Cross Stepping Stone" I was reminded that I've used the Quickcrete Mortar a couple years ago in making a little church and house for a flowerbed. I made shallow plywood molds to make the rectangles/squares for the house pieces. I put little squares where the windows are and poured the mortar around them. I put the houses together w/Silicon. I mosaiced the house w/shards of floor tiles. They have been outside a couple yrs., and one side of the little house has come loose. I think it was my poor construction, however, not the materials. Need to fix that. I've added them to "Queendom" file in my album.

Chennai, not just for two awesome innings by my two favourite players, but also because of the context of the test match, just after the terror attacks.
I was in Vietnam for Chennai and hence missed it (gutted to the max) so I'll have to vote Nottingham. That was epic.
Indians can't bowl - Where has the rumour come from as I myself and many indian friends arwe competent fast bowlers ?
With the English bid I said: Let us be brief. If you give back the Falkland Islands, which belong to us, you will get my vote. They then became sad and left
Chennai because of my inner Tendulkar fanboy.
Nottingham. King of Spain and all that.

Australia-China FTA Negotiations
Tenth round of negotiations
1 November 2007
The tenth round of the Australia-China FTA negotiations was held in Canberra on 22-26 October. While we narrowed our differences on some issues and made useful changes to the proposed text of the agreement, overall progress in the negotiations continued to be slow.
Market access negotiations on goods (including agriculture) remain on hold pending an improved offer by China. We exchanged initial requests and offers on goods last December but China has not been able to respond to our request for a better offer. China understands that we will not move to detailed tariff negotiations until we get a greatly improved offer but is unable to tell us precisely when that will be.
Following on from the ninth round, a session was held on agricultural products affected by tariff rate quotas (cotton, wheat, rice, sugar, wool and corn). The focus was on wool and sugar with brief discussion of rice and corn (wheat and cotton were discussed at the ninth round). Australia emphasised that our producers would not be a threat to China's farmers. We have proposed joint studies of future demand and production of the commodities of interest to Australia and China is considering our proposal.
We continued our requests to China on a range of non-tariff measures identified by Australian producers as trade impediments. These include restrictions on the sale of kangaroo meat, mandatory retesting of wool, approval of Australian meat export establishments, issues pertaining to quarantine import permits, licensing of some Australian imports, quarantine testing of iron ore and the recognition of reports by Australian laboratories on compliance with Australian standards. We will provide more information to allow China to consider our requests further.
Discussion continued of the various chapters covering trade in goods and agriculture and we narrowed our differences on trade in goods, rules of origin, customs procedures, technical barriers to trade and sanitary and phytosanitary issues. In particular, encouraging talks were held on rules of origin. At the previous round, China indicated its in-principle agreement to our proposal to use change of tariff classification as the principal methodology in the FTA for determining the origin of goods. At the tenth round, China made a commitment to begin detailed work on the origin schedules at the eleventh round next year. We will consult interested parties in advance of these negotiations.
During our talks on the trade in goods chapter, we raised our concerns over aspects of China's import licensing regime including our industries' concerns about China's automatic licensing system, particularly in relation to iron ore.
Talks also continued on the draft text for e-commerce chapters. China is cautious about some aspects of our proposed text, given that the country's e-commerce regulatory regime is still under development.
Government procurement remains a sensitive subject for China. China gives preference to domestic suppliers but will be required to open its procurement market to other members of the WTO Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) after it joins next year. As Australia is not a member of the GPA, we want to ensure that our suppliers and products receive treatment at least as favorable as that given by China to GPA members.
At China's request, talks on intellectual property were put on hold until the next round.
Outcomes on services were limited to agreement to consider a single consolidated text on cross border trade in services, agreement to explore mutual recognition agreements in engineering, architecture and construction and useful clarification of regulatory arrangements and barriers in some sectors.
We continued to discuss Australia's proposals on a framework for commercial association between Chinese and Australian law firms and we proposed a scoping study on recognition of qualifications in vocational education and training and in higher education.
Progress on transport and logistics services remained slow but useful talks were held on air transport services and we clarified some regulatory issues and developed the text and definitions relating to air transport services. Useful talks were also held on regulatory issues in the telecommunications, tourism and traditional Chinese medicine industries.
The negotiations on investment focused on mining investment issues such as the unpredictable approval process for exploration and mining licences, the treatment of overlaps between minerals in the prohibited and permitted category and the highly prescriptive regulation of geological explorer qualifications. China undertook to consider our proposal to reduce the risks in moving from the exploration to the mining stage by giving more certainty to Australian holders of exploration licences that overlap with a mineral in the prohibited category. China also undertook to consider ways to deal with problems caused by overlaps with holders of petroleum tenements.
As part of our program of advocacy, a group of Chinese financial services journalists visited Australia from 11 to 19 August; this resulted in good press coverage in China of how China could profit from Australia's advanced financial services sector. We arranged for officials from the Ministry of Labour and Social Security to visit from 26 August to 2 September and explained how the FTA could help China use Australia's expertise in vocational education and training. We organised a seminar in Beijing on telecommunications (the eleventh sectoral seminar so far) on 19 September at which Australian officials and industry figures explained to their Chinese counterparts how the Chinese telecommunications sector could benefit from Australia's regulatory and industry strengths through the FTA. We will hold a seminar on grains in Beijing on 22 November at which Australian industry representatives will aim to convince Chinese stakeholders that Australia is a safe and reliable grains supplier and that our production will not threaten Chinese farmers.
The eleventh negotiating round is scheduled to be held in the first half of 2008 in Beijing.

text: Message from the PresidentBoom TimesThe Texas economy is blazing hot. Texas leads the nation in job growth and just about every other conceivable economic category. Our friends in other states are sick and tired of hearing about our oil wells and billion dollar stadiums. They think everyone in the Houston market lives on a ranch and has drilling rigs surrounded by cattle. What they forget is our plight back in September of 2008 when the nation's economy crashed and we got hit by a massive hurricane in a three-day period. As the nation is showing signs of economic recovery, albeit mostly in just a few states led by Texas, the prospects of a better tomorrow continue to dominate our news. Texas City is vying for a new methanol plant that would be valued at $4.5 billion dollars, employ over 1,000 construction workers, and create over 500 permanent jobs. Not to be outdone, the Galveston Wharves Board has leased land on Pelican Island for a Woodlands-based company to explore the possibility of an LNG plant that would be valued at approximately $4 billion. Both of these projects have major hurdles ahead of them before they become reality but talking about billions of dollars of investment and thousands of new jobs is very exciting. The Galveston cruise business is also booming with the expansion of Cruise Terminal 2. Three local community banks, including HomeTown Bank, are funding the $13 million expansion project which will accommodate larger cruise ships arriving next year. The Port of Galveston is already anticipating the need for a third cruise ship terminal based on recent discussions that more ships are heading our way. The excitement does not stop with the discussion of new projects. Galveston Island tourism had a record-setting 2013 and, although not complete, the 2014 summer numbers indicate another record-breaking year. And according to the property managers, advance hotel and vacation rental bookings are strong for 2015. The same can be said for our entire market area. Homes for sale are scarce in Friendswood and League City. It is definitely a seller's market in both communities. Pearland is seeing tremendous commercial growth near the new HEB on Pearland Parkway and near Highway 288. Alvin does not appear to be experiencing the same pace of growth but they are definitely in line as the economic surge moves south down Highway 35. In my 26 years as president I have seen good times come and go. Boom times are always more fun, but our customers need us all of the time. Our goal is to be here for you during boom or bust because that is what committed community bankers do. Thank you for being our customer. Jimmy Rasmussen |

Hebrew Names Version (HNV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 The word of the LORD came to me, saying, | 1 The word of the LORD came to me: |
2 Go, and cry in the ears of Yerushalayim, saying, Thus says the LORD, I remember for you the kindness of your youth, the love of your weddings; how you went after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown. | 2 "Go and proclaim in the hearing of Jerusalem: " 'I remember the devotion of your youth, how as a bride you loved me and followed me through the desert, through a land not sown. |
3 Yisra'el [was] holiness to the LORD, the first fruits of his increase: all who devour him shall be held guilty; evil shall come on them, says the LORD. | 3 Israel was holy to the LORD, the firstfruits of his harvest; all who devoured her were held guilty, and disaster overtook them,' " declares the LORD. |
4 Hear you the word of the LORD, O house of Ya`akov, and all the families of the house of Yisra'el: | 4 Hear the word of the LORD, O house of Jacob, all you clans of the house of Israel. |
5 thus says the LORD, What unrighteousness have your fathers found in me, that they have gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain? | 5 This is what the LORD says: "What fault did your fathers find in me, that they strayed so far from me? They followed worthless idols and became worthless themselves. |
6 Neither said they, Where is the LORD who brought us up out of the land of Mitzrayim, who led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought and of the shadow of death, through a land that none passed through, and where no man lived? | 6 They did not ask, 'Where is the LORD, who brought us up out of Egypt and led us through the barren wilderness, through a land of deserts and rifts, a land of drought and darkness, a land where no one travels and no one lives?' |
7 I brought you into a plentiful land, to eat the fruit of it and the goodness of it; but when you entered, you defiled my land, and made my heritage an abomination. | 7 I brought you into a fertile land to eat its fruit and rich produce. But you came and defiled my land and made my inheritance detestable. |
8 The Kohanim didn't say, Where is the LORD? and those who handle the law didn't know me: the rulers also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Ba`al, and walked after things that do not profit. | 8 The priests did not ask, 'Where is the LORD?' Those who deal with the law did not know me; the leaders rebelled against me. The prophets prophesied by Baal, following worthless idols. |
9 Therefore I will yet contend with you, says the LORD, and with your children's children will I contend. | 9 "Therefore I bring charges against you again," declares the LORD. "And I will bring charges against your children's children. |
10 For pass over to the isles of Kittiyim, and see; and send to Kedar, and consider diligently; and see if there has been such a thing. | 10 Cross over to the coasts of Kittim and look, send to Kedar and observe closely; see if there has ever been anything like this: |
11 Has a nation changed [its] gods, which yet are no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which does not profit. | 11 Has a nation ever changed its gods? (Yet they are not gods at all.) But my people have exchanged their Glory for worthless idols. |
12 Be astonished, you heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be you very desolate, says the LORD. | 12 Be appalled at this, O heavens, and shudder with great horror," declares the LORD. |
13 For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the spring of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water. | 13 "My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water. |
14 Is Yisra'el a servant? is he a home-born [slave]? why is he become a prey? | 14 Is Israel a servant, a slave by birth? Why then has he become plunder? |
15 The young lions have roared on him, and yelled; and they have made his land waste: his cities are burned up, without inhabitant. | 15 Lions have roared; they have growled at him. They have laid waste his land; his towns are burned and deserted. |
16 The children also of Mof and Tachpanches have broken the crown of your head. | 16 Also, the men of Memphis and Tahpanhes have shaved the crown of your head. |
17 Haven't you procured this to yourself, in that you have forsaken the LORD your God, when he led you by the way? | 17 Have you not brought this on yourselves by forsaking the LORD your God when he led you in the way? |
18 Now what have you to do in the way to Mitzrayim, to drink the waters of the Shichor? or what have you to do in the way to Ashshur, to drink the waters of the River? | 18 Now why go to Egypt to drink water from the Shihor ? And why go to Assyria to drink water from the River ? |
19 Your own wickedness shall correct you, and your backsliding shall reprove you: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and a bitter, that you have forsaken the LORD your God, and that my fear is not in you, says the Lord, the LORD of Hosts. | 19 Your wickedness will punish you; your backsliding will rebuke you. Consider then and realize how evil and bitter it is for you when you forsake the LORD your God and have no awe of me," declares the Lord, the LORD Almighty. |
20 For of old time I have broken your yoke, and burst your bonds; and you said, I will not serve; for on every high hill and under every green tree you did bow yourself, playing the prostitute. | 20 "Long ago you broke off your yoke and tore off your bonds; you said, 'I will not serve you!' Indeed, on every high hill and under every spreading tree you lay down as a prostitute. |
21 Yet I had planted you a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then are you turned into the degenerate branches of a foreign vine to me? | 21 I had planted you like a choice vine of sound and reliable stock. How then did you turn against me into a corrupt, wild vine? |
22 For though you wash yourself with lye, and use much soap, yet your iniquity is marked before me, says the Lord GOD. | 22 Although you wash yourself with soda and use an abundance of soap, the stain of your guilt is still before me," declares the Sovereign LORD. |
23 How can you say, I am not defiled, I have not gone after the Ba`alim? see your way in the valley, know what you have done: [you are] a swift dromedary traversing her ways; | 23 "How can you say, 'I am not defiled; I have not run after the Baals'? See how you behaved in the valley; consider what you have done. You are a swift she-camel running here and there, |
24 a wild donkey used to the wilderness, that snuffs up the wind in her desire; in her occasion who can turn her away? all those who seek her will not weary themselves; in her month they shall find her. | 24 a wild donkey accustomed to the desert, sniffing the wind in her craving-- in her heat who can restrain her? Any males that pursue her need not tire themselves; at mating time they will find her. |
25 Withhold your foot from being unshod, and your throat from thirst: but you said, It is in vain; no, for I have loved strangers, and after them will I go. | 25 Do not run until your feet are bare and your throat is dry. But you said, 'It's no use! I love foreign gods, and I must go after them.' |
26 As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Yisra'el ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their Kohanim, and their prophets; | 26 "As a thief is disgraced when he is caught, so the house of Israel is disgraced-- they, their kings and their officials, their priests and their prophets. |
27 who tell a stock, You are my father; and to a stone, You have brought me forth: for they have turned their back to me, and not their face; but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us. | 27 They say to wood, 'You are my father,' and to stone, 'You gave me birth.' They have turned their backs to me and not their faces; yet when they are in trouble, they say, 'Come and save us!' |
28 But where are your gods that you have made you? let them arise, if they can save you in the time of your trouble: for according to the number of your cities are your gods, Yehudah. | 28 Where then are the gods you made for yourselves? Let them come if they can save you when you are in trouble! For you have as many gods as you have towns, O Judah. |
29 Why will you contend with me? you all have transgressed against me, says the LORD. | 29 "Why do you bring charges against me? You have all rebelled against me," declares the LORD. |
30 In vain have I struck your children; they received no correction: your own sword has devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion. | 30 "In vain I punished your people; they did not respond to correction. Your sword has devoured your prophets like a ravening lion. |
31 Generation, see the word of the LORD. Have I been a wilderness to Yisra'el? or a land of thick darkness? why say my people, We are broken loose; we will come no more to you? | 31 "You of this generation, consider the word of the LORD: "Have I been a desert to Israel or a land of great darkness? Why do my people say, 'We are free to roam; we will come to you no more'? |
32 Can a virgin forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number. | 32 Does a maiden forget her jewelry, a bride her wedding ornaments? Yet my people have forgotten me, days without number. |
33 How trimmest you your way to seek love! therefore even the wicked women have you taught your ways. | 33 How skilled you are at pursuing love! Even the worst of women can learn from your ways. |
34 Also in your skirts is found the blood of the souls of the innocent poor: you did not find them breaking in; but it is because of all these things. | 34 On your clothes men find the lifeblood of the innocent poor, though you did not catch them breaking in. Yet in spite of all this |
35 Yet you said, I am innocent; surely his anger is turned away from me. Behold, I will enter into judgment with you, because you say, I have not sinned. | 35 you say, 'I am innocent; he is not angry with me.' But I will pass judgment on you because you say, 'I have not sinned.' |
36 Why go you about so much to change your way? you shall be ashamed of Mitzrayim also, as you were ashamed of Ashshur. | 36 Why do you go about so much, changing your ways? You will be disappointed by Egypt as you were by Assyria. |
37 From there also shall you go forth, with your hands on your head: for the LORD has rejected those in whom you trust, and you shall not prosper with them. | 37 You will also leave that place with your hands on your head, for the LORD has rejected those you trust; you will not be helped by them. |

Once upon a time, The Bible was printed on paper
The title of this post doesn't quite reflect where we are today, but I can see the day coming where the Bible printed on paper seems as ancient as writing it on a scroll.
A while back I wrote that the future is mobile. The greatest book in history appears to be proving that. The Bible made its debut on the iPhone almost two weeks ago. In just the first 12 days, we have seen over 130,000 people install the Bible App on their iPhone or iPod Touch. What has been amazing to us is that iPhone users have spent more than 6.2 million minutes reading the Bible in just the last two weeks!
Earlier this week we submitted the first update to the iPhone application to Apple. We hope that they will be releasing it soon on iTunes, but because of the backlog of applications it may take several days. This update includes several bug fixes, a few new features and design changes, and 4 additional translations (HCSB, Elberfelder Bibel (German), Louis Segond (French), and Chinese Union Version Simplified).
We are currently working on making several translations available for use when your iPhone or iPod is offline as well as more integration into the additional features of YouVersion.com
As a reminder to those of you who do not have iPhones. You can access many of the same features as you can on the iPhone on any phone with Internet access by using YouVersion.com Moble. Just go to http://m.youversion.com/ from any web enabled phone.
Additionally, there was a new update on YouVersion.com last week that included several new things. You can read more about those on the YouVersion Blog.
Thank you to all of you who downloaded the Bible App, shared it with your friends, posted about it on your blog, and wrote reviews on iTunes. All of that helped engage more people with Scripture…and that's a great thing!
UPDATE: Version 1.1 has been released and can now be downloaded from iTunes

So, I met another Bassett Hound at the dog groomer this week. Needless to say, Ben was smitten. Ben's toenails are white or sort of clear, "semi-opaque" I reckon.
But he does have one black toenail, all natural, of which he is most proud.
However, it is no match for the pedicure of the lovely…Petunia. We had a little talk about it on the way home. Ben just goes to the groomer now and then for a bath and a good brushing. He isn't into fashion. In the end, he says, he's glad he isn't a girl.
Ben and I, we see things pretty much the same way.

Long road to world title
-A A +AWednesday, October 3, 2012
AT ONE point of his career Rey "Boom-Boom" Bautista (33-2, 25 KOs) was considered as the future superstar of Filipino boxing. He was even expected to follow in the footsteps of Manny Pacquiao. But maybe it wasn't meant to be just yet as everything seemed to be going downhill for him after losing in his bid for a world title against Daniel Ponce de Leon over five years ago.
Following that loss, Bautista's career was shaky. He suffered a career-threatening hand injury and also the second defeat of his career against Heriberto Ruiz in 2008.
Now, almost entering the peak of his career, the 26-year-old Bautista wants to finally prove that he still has what it takes to become a world champion.
But before Bautista's world title shot, he has to get past another tough Mexican, Daniel Ruiz, on Oct. 20 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.
"I went into boxing and strived to get to where I am now because I hated the impoverished life. I do not want my family to experience that ever again. That is my motivation," said Bautista .
ALA Promotions is looking at two options for Bautista, who is fighting for the vacant World Boxing Organization (WBO) International featherweight belt. He can challenge for the WBO featherweight title against current holder Orlando Salido or agree to a rematch with de Leon, who was just crowned as the World Boxing Council featherweight champion.
"It depends on Boom-Boom's progress. Daniel Ruiz is a threat. Yes (fighting de Leon) is his dream. Now that de Leon is a world champion, the more that he wants the rematch," said ALA Promotions president Michael Aldeguer in a recent press conference.
Bautista is currently rated No. 4 in the International Boxing Federation and No. 11 in the WBO.
The main event features a world title bout between AJ "Bazooka" Banal (28-1-1, 20 KOs) and Pungluang Sor Singyu (42-1, 27 KOs) for the vacant WBO bantamweight strap, while Jason Pagara (29-2, 18 KOs) defends his WBO International light welterweight belt against unbeaten Miguel Antoine (17-0-1, 9 KOs).

I like this version of "Vivid" although I don;t see a huge difference from a whitening perspective. It tastes OK - and is not overly strong (minty). Mid-priced.
I've been using this toothpaste for over a year now every day, twice a day. I can definitely say that my teeth are looking whiter than they did last year.
I don't have problems with sensitivity or anything even when I use it in with the Glamorous White Mouthwash (which I usually use at night every other day). I like how this tastes and it leaves my mouth feeling fresh and clean!
I have repurchased this multiple times and will continue to do so.
Went to the dentist to get my teeth cleaned. She asked me if I was using any whitening products because she thought my teeth were so white!!! All thanks to Crest 3D White!! :)
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I was wondering why my mouth and toungue tingled and felt numb after brushing and now after reading reviews, no i know that I am not crazy!!! will never use again!
Before I begin my review here is a little back-story on my smile... I am a non smoker, only enjoy coffee drinks occasionally, not a huge red wine drinker and I try to drink anything that might stain my teeth thru a straw i.e. tea, cola and so on. I also visit my dentist 2x's a year and brush at least twice a day for the recommended 3-5 mins and floss once a day. Even with all of my efforts to keep my teeth bright and healthy I still feel that they could stand to be a couple of shades whiter, so I decided to give Crest 3D Vivid White Tooth Paste a try after I saw it at my local discount store on sale. According to the package, using it as directed one should expect to see a noticeable difference in the color of their teeth within 14 days, as it boasts Removes up to 80% of surface stains in 14 days! Unfortunately, for me I did not notice any change in the color of my teeth after the first two weeks. However, I did not let that discourage me and continued using the product until I'd finished the entire tube. Which took about one month, my teeth were only slightly whiter at best! I think I'll stick to my usual method of whitening my teeth which is more cost efficient and clearly just as effective! Check it out here by pasting this link into your browser...
I have used whitening products many times, mouthwashes, toothpaste, and whitening strips. The whitening strips do make my gums sore and my teeth sensitive but not to excess. But after using this toothpaste for about two weeks my mouth would burn and broke out with a line of blisters just inside the lip area. I wasn't sure at first what caused it but realized that when I attempted to brush my teeth the toothpaste would burn that area. I quit using the toothpaste and the blisters/burn area is healing. I can only surmise that the toothpaste caused the burns or blisters. I did see the whitening effects but will not use the product again.

Okay, so I'm probably jumping to conclusions about this toothpaste but I want to see if it's just me or not. I'll be completely honest, for awhile I haven't been paying as much attention to my teeth as I should, but don't worry I'm on top of it now. I got the 3D vivid white toothpaste and the first time I used it my gums bled, I wasn't sure if it was the toothpaste or just me, seeing as I haven't been taking the best care. The more I have been using it the less my gums have bled, which makes me feel like it was probably just me. Overall, if it isn't the product that made my gums bleed, the toothpaste is great! It makes my mouth feel clean and nice, and I have noticed some apparent whitening.

I paid way too much for this not to work. It didn't whiten my teeth, or freshen my breath, or make my teeth feel super clean. I used the whole tube with no results. Waste of Money.
Fine as a toothpaste, but does nothing for whitening and seems to run out quite fast. I do like this better than Colgate Total which just never left my teeth feeling very clean. But I want a toothpaste that whitens so once this stuff is gone, no more.
I used this toothpaste about a year ago. I didn't really notice a difference in whitening. It cleaned my mouth & freshened my breath well, but that's what every toothpaste does. It wasn't a bad toothpaste, but it didn't really whiten my teeth. I've been using arm & hammer advance white, & I've noticed a big difference with that toothpaste. My teeth actually appear whiter with no sensitivity problems. As for the Crest 3D toothpaste, I probably won't buy it again. Not the worst, but not the best.
This is one of the best toothpastes out there! After they discontinued my Colgate pro clinical whitening toothpaste, I tried doesn't foam up as much as regular toothpaste so you don't have an overabundance of foam in your mouth, and after just a few days I could already tell that my teeth were whiter! I got my best friend hooked on this toothpaste and her mom just went out and bought some too. Love it!

May 25 2013
Margret Attwood brings to light, how western society can construe a subject. Especially a subject with a provocative name. Her own experiences when on a lecture circuit. Margret talks about the difference of pseudo masochistic pornography of the west and "hanging from the chandelier" pornography. Margret talks about what the Nazis did to the Jews could be called pornography. How the Chinese persecuted Catholic and Christian missionaries can be called pornography. The sex education programs, Margret points out, are being slowly replaced with pornography. The examples our boys are learning for the treatment of women, like trash. That boys are also being taught that it is "normal" to be a rapist. In western society rapists are glorified, all but condoning rape. Young men seem to get lost because there is a lack of guidance. Margret also brings up that pornography is just as addictive as drugs or alcohol. They all cause a chemical release in the brain. The more a person watches the more dopamine is released. It grows to be an obsession. Pornography can also be used to describe some forms of art. But to the artist their work is not. The artist sees the beauty of the human form. How a body moves, changes, elongates, shadows. The curves of the human body. The artist uses their medium to express their work. They use pencil and paper, marble, paint, clay and metal. Artists and simple villagers carve and mold to make their deities for worship. In the modern pornography world the actors and actresses call themselves artists. But I am sure that many would beg to differ. The European pornography market is very different from the west. The western market has almost cornered the violence. But not all what is labeled pornography is truly sexually related. I have to admit that I have been touched in several ways by pornography. Because of the ease of availability, my brother had it in his room. Thus being easy...

Yet another reason why the CA legislature (almost all one party - guess which one) needs to change the firearms laws to allow lawful carry (much easier access to lawful carry) so that innocent bystanders can protect themselves.
Although there are a couple of Sheriffs in the State who do issue CCWs, they are very far and few between, and not in the high crime areas of the state.
Anyone seen the murder rates in CA (Oakland, LA and now San Francisco Bay area, to include San Jose) by criminals with guns? They are huge.

Ever make an association connected with politicians who are anti-gun?
From what I read, they either have tax payer funded security, private security, and / or are granted a carry permit based on their status and influence.

<the Menace>
A perfect example of why you must take the first opportunity when it presents itself. Brandishing a weapon is a statement by and of itself. To assume they won't do you any harm can be a fatal mistake.
The cashier, if he had been carrying, had his opportunity when the BG ordered him to go around the counter.
Serve my country, swear an oath to protect it, pay my taxes, fly old glory in the front yard, love and protect my family, honor the vets before me and help fellow americans in need.
By definition my country now calls me a radical
When will people understand that someone who threatens to kill you, is also likely not trust-worthy not to, even if you comply with their demands. It's really not that much of a reach to understand that.
Compliance is just not high on my response options in such a situation. Extreme violence is my pre-planned reaction.
'Clinging to my guns and religion
This parking lot looks like one I saw filled with looters during the LA riots. It is near where "Fred Sanford" was supposed to live. No way I would work retail there without a weapon. Starnge how mnay times you see a video of a robber shooting a compliant clerk. Uncivilized, these robbers. Maybe LA needs more gun control laws?
I don't always have nothing to say, but when I do, I post it on Facebook.
that clerk has to be wondering why this guy has his hand in that box?
Back room, trunk/back seat of a car = Death Sentence.
Don't let them take you to another location, and don't let them tell you to get in the back room.
Better to go down like Custer. The knuckledragger might shoot you there during a struggle, but at least he is not inches from your thinking cap. You may just have a chance, and most likely they will get nervous and flee before they have accertained if you are DRT.
I would rather die with good men than hide with cowards

Jokes aside, if the BG orders you to another room there is a high probability that they will be killing you.
"Was there no end to the conspiracy of irrational prejudice against Red Ryder and his peacemaker?"
Revolvers, more elegant weapons for a more civilized age.
He'll get off on all charges. He was entitled to the stores money because he's out of work and his 23 babies need beer. As to slashing the store clerks throat, he didn't do that. He was minding his own business holding the knife in his hand, when the clerk lunged and cut himself.

June 2013 Archives
Japanese culture has long been known for its close relationship with tea but with recent developments, Japanese coffee techniques has been making waves in the US. Third wave, to be exact. That's right, I'm talking about Third Wave Coffee, a movement that has been brewing for the past five years in cafes across America. Cafe owners and baristas had more and more looked to across the Pacific Ocean for the equipment and technique that would revolutionize coffee in America to beyond Starbucks.
Third Wave coffee emphasizes coffee farms and the freshness of the beans. Roasters try to get their beans to you as quickly as possible, from a single source. That way, you know where your coffee is coming from and you can taste the variance and nuances in the different beans.
More and more coffee drinkers are switching from the tried-and-true coffee brewer machine and getting a bit more hands on with their morning cup of Joe. Taking cues from the Japanese, third wave coffee connoisseur prefer the "pour-over" method, in which one brews a cup at a time, pouring water over suspended grounds to extract the coffee for a perfect cup. If coffee has become boring and routine for you, switch up the brewing method and rediscover how you fell in love with the bean.
Here at Asian Food Grocer we have the necessary implements to start brewing pour-over style. With our direct connection to Japanese importers, we have brought in quality coffee accessories from esteemed companies such as Hario and Porlex. This is the top-of-the-line yet affordable equipment that the trendiest coffee shops are using today. You'll find leading coffee stores such as Blue Bottle Coffee in San Francisco and Intelligentsia in Chicago stocking its shelves with Japanese accessories found here.
Before brewing, you have to pay mind to your coffee beans. This almost seems redundant to say, but the quality of your coffee hinges greatly on your coffee beans, and the best way to ensure quality is to purchase whole beans and grind them right before you brew your coffee. When choosing grinders, the recommended way to go with be to get burr grinders instead of grinders with metal blades. Burr grinders work by rolling on your beans and grinding them to consistent size, whereas metal blades simply whirl and chop up the beans. The spinning blade actually can cause friction and heat up during grinding and thus evaporate some of the precious oils that are released when beans are ground. Look towards the Hario Skerton Ceramic Hand Mill or the Porlex Grinder for some of the best hand-powered coffee grinders. The ceramic burr mills will led to a consistent grind that will get the best flavors out of your beans.
The centerpiece equipment for brewing pour-over coffee is the iconic Hario Buono Kettle. Its simple, ripple-like design and long, thin swan-neck spout are some of the reasons why the kettle is revered and used in many coffee shops. The spout allows you have better control in pouring a consistent stream to the areas of the coffee ground where you want. In terms of drip brewers, we have the stylish black Bonmac dripper and the classic glass Hario V60 both excellent choices for pour-over beginners.
So what do you do once you have the necessary equipment. It starts with boiling water. Once boiled, let it sit for a minute to cool down slightly for the optimum brewing temperature. Put a coffee filter into your brewer, set the brewer on top of your mug, and "pre-wet" the filter by pouring the into the brewer and filling it up. This accomplishes two things: it warms up the brewer so temperature will stay even during brewing, and it gets some of the paper taste out of the filter.
Next, grind up some coffee beans to a medium grind, similar to drip grind for your coffee machine but a bit coarser, and put the grounds into the brewer. Pour and soak the grounds with hot water, allowing it to "bloom." Watch as the grounds (if fresh) bubble up and release the gases trapped within.Some coffee experts suggest precise pouring, in concentric circles or criss-cross patterns in order to efficiently extract flavor from the grounds. The aroma should be amazing at this point. Now you can pour water into the grounds and let it drip through into your cup for the final product. It should take about 3-4 minutes total for the coffee to drip through and brew.
The whole process, from heating up water to grinding beans to brewing your coffee, can take about 10 minutes. Set your alarm clock so you have 10 minutes to spare in the morning and take the opportunity to smell the fresh oils and aromas that drift up from your coffee. Some may say this is too much work or too precious. But why not? Coffee can be simply fuel, but it is also a luxury. Have fun with it. The pour over is an opportunity to get in touch with coffee. It elevates coffee to a science. The time spent personally brewing your coffee will be well worth it once you take that delicious first sip.
For those without the time and patience to grind their own beans every morning, our world-class German ground coffee is a great substitute. Jacobs Kronung makes a variety of blends that are ready to brew, whether in a drip machine or pour-over dripper. And we have ready-to-drink coffee in cans and bottles as well, already creamed and sugared for a tasty pick-me-up on the road. So fill up on your caffeine fix! As long as the sun comes up, you'll need it.
Recently I've blogged about the elusive fifth taste, umami. If you've ever had salad at a Japanese restaurant, you may gotten a taste of the addictive salad dressing.The secret ingredient (well not so secret, as it is actually a point of emphasis) is miso paste. No longer relegated to soups, miso is a flavor that enhances any food that it touches. And Nago Foods have applies this concept to salad dressings, harnessing the rich umami flavor of miso to produce a unique taste experience.
The essence of this line of gourmet salad dressing is miso paste. This revered Japanese ingredient is culinary gold in paste form. Miso has really come on lately as a "superfood," and one can see why given its health benefits that are renowned in Japan. First, it is incredibly nutritious, being rich in vitamin B2, vitamin E, vitamin K, calcium, iron, and other nutrients that are good for you. As a product of its fermentation, miso has a high volume of "good" bacteria that bolsters the health of your digestive tract. The most tangible benefit of miso is that it taste delicious, which makes you happy. Happiness is what leads to long lifespans, after all (or so I've read.)
In addition to miso's health benefits, the entire line is gluten free. Whether you're trying to cut out avoiding wheat for health or dietary reasons, rest assure that Nago's dressings with play well with just about any form of diet. Four of the six available dressings eschew eggs, so they're fully vegan as well. This is the dressing to grab if you're looking to eat healthy but unwilling to lose out on flavor.
