"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
He was in the beginning with God.
All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.
In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men.
The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.
He came as a witness, to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through him.
He was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.
There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man.
He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.
He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him.
He was in the world, and the world did not know Him.
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth."
~ John 1:1-14.
"So preoccupied is the mind with myths and systems; so much do false deities crowd every place–earth, air, sky; so have they become of everything a part, that return to the first religion can only be along bloody paths, through fields of persecution; that is to say, the converts must be willing to die rather than recant. And who in this age can carry the faith of men to such a point but God himself? To redeem the race–I do not mean to destroy it–to REDEEM the race, he must make himself once more manifest; HE MUST COME IN PERSON."
~ The Magi in General Lew Wallace's Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ.

The Star of Bethlehem
We could spend our entire lifetimes drinking in the evidence for the creative GOD of the Bible within the finite basin of our universe and still never find it dry – the fingerprint of an infinite Designer, no doubt! Are you not impressed by the design of the giraffe, that can bow and raise its long neck quickly without losing consciousness? Look to the bombardier beetle, with its built in arsenal of chemical weaponry. Not impressed? Look to the smallest unit of living matter, the cell. Not impressed? Look to the complex symbolism within the Hebrew and Chinese languages. Look to the precise chemistry of the atmosphere, the way a fish breathes under water, the way the immune system fights like a trained army, and the way a mammal nurses its young. Still not impressed? Look to the heavens.
Behold a system so mathematically precise that you can fast forward and rewind an image of its motions with modern software.
~ Psalm 19:1-4
The actual Hebrew words in those sentences that are often translated as "declaring" or "telling" are çâphar (ספד) and nâgad (נגד). The meaning of çâphar is
"to score with a mark as a tally or record, i.e. (by impl.) to inscribe, and also to enumerate; intens. to recount, i.e. celebrate: – commune, (ac-) count, declare, number, + penknife, reckon, scribe, shew forth, speak, talk, tell (out), writer." Strong's Concordance.
Ah, doesn't that sound astronomical?
The word çâphar is the same word used in Job 12:8, 28:27 ("Then He saw it and declared it; He established it and also searched it out"), 1 Chronicles 16:24, Psalm 78:6 ("That the generation to come might know, even the children yet to be born, that they may arise and tell them to their children…") and many other verses.
The meaning of nâgad is
"to front, i.e. stand boldly out opposite; by impl. (causat.) to manifest; fig. to announce (always by word of mouth to one present); spec. to expose, predict, explain, praise: – bewray, x certainly, certify, declare (-ing), denounce, expound, x fully, messenger, plainly, profess, rehearse, report, shew (forth), speak, x surely, tell, utter." Strong's Concordance.
The word nâgad is used in Genesis 41:24 (when Pharaoh told Joseph about his dream, "I told it to my magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me"), Esther 4:8, Job 31:37, Isaiah 3:9, 21:6, 41:22 ("Let them bring forth and declare to us what is going to take place; as for the former events, declare what they were, that we may consider them and know their outcome. Or announce what is coming…"), and many other passages.
Read Psalm 19 with this fuller understanding of the beautiful Hebrew words çâphar (ספד) and nâgad (נגד) and no longer does it simply mean that the starry sky is an impressive display to reflect GOD's glory. The celestial bodies have been placed there with a mission to communicate and verify the entire saga of salvation.
"Then GOD said, 'Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years…'"
~ Genesis 1:14
The Hebrew word in that passage often translated as "signs" is 'ôwth (אות), which means
"a signal (lit. or fig.), as a flag, beacon, monument, omen, prodigy, evidence, etc.: – mark. miracle, (en-)sign, token." Strong's Concordance
Before I delay any longer, I really must let you see what one Christian lawyer on a quest to understand the Star of Bethlehem discovered along the way.
Hint: Remember that YAHWEH named the stars, not man (see Job 9 and Amos 8 ) – different cultures have told stories to go along with the stars, but they haven't changed the names and their meanings. Then recall the great sign that appeared in heaven in Revelation 12 about the woman clothed with the sun; the moon at her feet and a crown of 12 stars on her head. Now prepare to realize that there is something historically significant about December 25th, and no, it has nothing to do with pagans, Santa Clause, or even a manger.
Introducing, Frederick A. Larson…
The Atheist Christmas Tree Farmer
The exceptionalism of Jesus Christ was his livelihood, and yet he could not bring himself to believe it.
The Reads' little red Honda scooted down the narrow driveway along the rail fence of the Christmas tree farm. It was December of 1993; Amanda was a little girl of three years going on four and Rachel was a baby. The cold, snowy winter of Ithaca, New York left everything outside dense, quiet and white – Narnia white. Christmas was coming, and the celebration of Advent was a new family tradition. The anticipation of Christmas Day became a remembrance of the anticipation of the Savior's coming, and a rekindler still more of the anticipation of His return. One classic symbol included was the Christmas tree; its evergreen nature a symbol of eternal life.
The Christmas tree farmer stood at the gate to discuss their Christmas tree selection. "I'm an atheist." How the subject came about is not remembered, but the man made it clear that he had nothing to do with this Christ everyone was celebrating. Amanda stared hard at the fellow. She hadn't seen an atheist before. He stood there with his toboggan pulled tight around his ears, his nose in the air as he beat snow off his gloves. "Watch out for the ice there," he told the little girl. "You could slip and fall." It is easy to underestimate the mental capacity of a child. Children do stupid things – do they ever have even a halfwit reason?
The little girl kept trying to imagine what it would be like to live without believing God exists. If God is love, and you don't believe in God, can you still love? If God has standards for what is right and what is wrong, and you don't believe in God, can you still believe in right and wrong? She edged her foot out across the smooth ice. If I stepped out on the ice and slipped when the atheist told me not to, what would he do? Just like that, Amanda decided to risk injury for an experiment she might not get the chance to repeat. She stepped out on the frozen puddle and began obeying every law of gravity and friction that she didn't know existed. The atheist Christmas tree farmer caught her arm before she went under. Perhaps Amanda resembled a wee polliwog on the evolutionary scale that needed to be saved from extinction. Perhaps, being an atheist, the Christmas tree farmer knew what it was like to step out on ice everyday, cheekily experimenting to see if God would suddenly appear to rescue him. Or perhaps, being a human made in the image of God, the Christmas tree farmer was obeying every law of reason and compassion ingrained in him that he didn't know existed. If you were to ask him, the Christmas tree farmer would probably say that he recognized the rational reality of slippery ice and concussions and God had nothing to do with it. If you were to ask the adult Amanda Read, she could just as easily disregard the atheist's existence and say it was the hand of God alone who saved her skull. But one of the two knows better than to say either. Feel free to experiment until you find out. Yet do be careful around the ice.
Jesus Christ was his thriving business, yet he loved Him not. Jesus provided for the atheist Christmas tree farmer well. One can only hope that he personally thanks Him for it before it is too late.
This is a true short story that was originally written for the Cross-Eyed Blog and Webzine, but due to certain constraints it was never published and has now been posted on Sincerely Amanda later than it should have been.
Gone With The Year
Christmas has come and gone once again. Year twenty o'six is nearly over.
We had a splendid Christmas party with family at our Grandparents' house on the 23rd (little cousins are growing up fast!). Grandmomma gave Rachel and I each a very pretty old-fashioned white nightgown with lace and burgundy velvet trimming. They match exactly and are very lovely. I'm sure the other little Read bloggers want to fill you in on their gifts…
We also had a game of "Dirty Santa", as tradition holds, and Rachel and I played this time. We managed to find nice gifts; an ivory ceramic potting bowl with narcissus bulbs and an ivory shelf with two picture frames and a clock (which will complement our bedroom walls very nicely).
The feast (you might say that we had three days of feasting ) was delicious. Dad, by the way, tried his hand at cooking some huge cuts of venison in the smoker on the 22nd. It was roughly a 24 hour project total, but the meat was delicious and it was a learning experience.
On Christmas Eve our Grandparents took Rachel and I on a shopping trip. Rachel came up with the idea of five of us children combining our money (a total of $172.00) to buy presents for Mom and Dad. I was skeptical about the idea at first, as I worried that we would not find any suitable presents. We did manage to find a fancy blender and brown blouse and sweater for Mom and a printer/scanner/copier/fax machine for Dad.
That evening we wrapped the gifts at our Grandparents' house with Grandmomma and Aunt Laurel. After a nice supper, Uncle Dan and Aunt Laurel drove us home (Cousin Samuel was having a great visit with the others at our house, and little cousin Goodwin was already in bed). They stayed for our own little Christmas Eve Advent Service that we have every year.
After they left we completed our other Christmas Eve tradition – watching, "It's A Wonderful Life". That is always nostalgic and enjoyable.
Christmas day dawned as a cloudy one, since we had a good deal of rain the night before. We don't get a ton of gifts like we used to, which actually makes presents a more tolerable experience. We don't have to deal with hectic amounts of wrapping paper everywhere.
Beth received a puzzle, chim-a-long and Buzz Lightyear toy; David received a light-up flying disk and Woody Toy (he got a Buzz from our grandparents too!); Mary received a toy horse barn with a collection of little horses; Abigail received a digital Kids' Camera; Joseph received a Playstation 2; Rachel received an assortment of ballet attire and a Roller Coaster Tycoon computer game; and I received nice Levenger Circa Agenda notebooks. Each of us children also received $25 dollars from our Grandparents on the Sayers side of the family.
We had a game of Charades that evening (one of Rachel's stocking stuffers). Very funny…
Today we visited our Great-Grandparents. Great-Grandmother Mary loves to hold Ben. The rest of us children sat down through the majority of the chilly evening watching the 1938 "Adventures Of Robin Hood" while Dad talked to Papa Joe (Great-Grandfather) about family history. It was another nice visit.
Thus, all is well that ends well. Tidings of Comfort and Joy!

Gold, Frankincense & Myrrh
I am generally not content with a blog post unless it describes every detail which I intend to convey to the utmost of credit.
So – we finally have an updated HomeschoolBlogger. It seems to have learned a thing or two about detail from HomesteadBlogger. I believe I am nearly recovered from the utter resounding difference of this set up. I appreciate it regardless of any slight hinderment whatsoever. But my precious Palotino Linotype font is gone! What I have will have to suffice (and I am not ignorant to a few tricks in the book of webdesign as it is).
I will share a little "Gold, Frankincense and Myrhh" we have experienced recently…
As for glittering Gold, Rachel and I have been trying our minds at the Jamestown 400 National Treasure Hunt. Joseph and Abigail have helped too. We have found a lot of clues, but the challenge lies in connecting them all. Once I get passed the hieroglyphic translation entirely, we should be on to something.
This evening we are attending a Christmas party (yes, the entire family!). It is an event being held by the Sons of the Confederacy (being Southerners, we have Confederate ancestors, of course). Civil War history is so fascinating.
As for lively Frankincense, Advent celebration has been as lovely as ever this year. Our Christmas picture for this year was a reasonable success. We attended our friend, Evan's performance in The Best Christmas Pageant Ever recently. It was a cleverly amusing portrayal of fun and flaw that always shows up in a Christmas Pageant – no matter how hard everyone tries. I've been in five little Christmas Pageants myself, mind you ("I'm always Mary" – that's a running feminine brag line, isn't it?).
As for bitter Myrhh, Mary's 8-month old cat, Pearl, died mysteriously today. This morning I found her in the kennel when I was on my way to feed the chickens. She seemed nearly paralyzed, her head and neck trembling. Mitzi, her grandmother, curled up next to her as though she was trying to comfort her. From the drooling and tremors the cause is assumed to have been poisoning. Joseph, Abigail, Mary, David and I handled the burying.
Here is our chosen Christmas picture of the year:

I know what you mean in your comment. It is very scary to know the End Days are coming. I hope I am will be prepared.
As for goats, we have 2 and they are Nubians. One white and the other brown. Like I said, they are easy to care for. The only thing I don't like is clipping their hooves, it grosses me out.
Love, Ms. Jocelyn

Interesting post, how you tied in the Wise Men's gifts with the recent events of your life! I'm sorry to hear about your sister's kitty. My cat died this past October, so I know how she feels.
I hope you have a great day and a wonderful Christmas!

It's the submarine, of course, and it owes its creation to Ireland's very own John Phillip Holland. An engineer by trade, this bespectacled County Clare native developed the first submarine to be formally commissioned by the U.S. Navy in 1900. Over the years, he also came up with a number of innovations for his underwater vehicle like the screw propeller, a hydrocarbon engine, the submarine gun, and an auto-drive mechanism. Modern warfare -- and the plot of Crimson Tide -- would be at a loss without his ingenuity.

Horses Resting (Ruhende Pferde)
Franz Marc
(German, 1880–1916)
1911. Woodcut, composition: 6 5/8 x 9 1/16" (16.8 x 23 cm); sheet: 11 1/4 x 15 3/4" (28.6 x 40 cm)
In this woodcut, four horses nestle together to form a harmonious composition. The shape of each animal fits into the other, like pieces in a puzzle. A member of Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider), Franz Marc made many images of animals as symbols of spiritual renewal, rebirth, and inner peace. The cool green and blue hues express the artist's vision of a spiritual connection to nature: "I am trying to heighten my feeling for the organic rhythm in all things, trying to establish a pantheistic contact with the tremor and flow of blood in nature, in animals, in the air—trying to make it all into a picture…."1
A term loosely applied to any printmaking technique involving a relief image cut into the surface of a wooden block. The wood is covered with ink and applied to a sheet of paper; only the uncut areas of the block will print, while the cut away areas do not receive ink and appear white on the printed image.
Having characteristics of a biological entity, or organism, or developing in the manner of a living thing.
Artist group active in Munich, Germany, from 1911 to 1914, and closely associated with the development of Expressionism. The group's aim was to express their own inner desires in a variety of forms, rather than to strive for a unified style or theme.
The arrangement of the elements within a work of art. The composition is the interplay between the subject, foreground, background, and other elements in the photograph.

10 Responses to "Why Women Still Can't have it all"
The idea that everyone is equal or equal-valued and can have everything is bad and dangerous.
Any ideology that promises it will end up as a fascist dictatorship.
Civilzations need persons who don't demand but who contribute.
If women teach their sons to respect womanhood and its functions and contributions and respect daughters and daughters-in-law then things will improve.
Actually a woman should be highly happy not to have to do what men have to do.
As regards rape – nature had told women to be more careful and cleverer than men.
I agree with bacon (what a haraam name for a Muslims to tongue on!!)
Women should not try to mimic the ways of men unless they want to be as dunce as them! -
to AKB
Ok, I change my name from bacon to beacon.
On the one hand are women who wish to compete and quarrel with men over everything and destroy human civilization, and on the other hand are women who – like under islam – behave as their slaves and underdogs and thus strengthen the machoism, misogyny and fascism in this religion.
I am a working mom and not just working but working in field administration.. I learnt one thing in my past 10 yrs of work life..no one can have it all except support system of family and spouse. be it a man or a woman.
@ beacon
Thanks for adopting a beautiful pseudonym…
I love you as all women are created to be loved and cared for by men and not to fight with men to satiate their electra complex ( in Freudian term),Boys will be boys, girls will be girls!
Women are the beauty of this world. they must not try to ruin their
grace and love by contesting equality with men. And men too should respect them, love them and care for them under all circumstances. -
@ Quratulain
You are quite right. If you happen to visit any american or western social media you will note the frustration of women there….majority of them are broken families, single mothers, betrayed creatures who live on dole and are oppressed. As they get older they realize the wrongs they did in their prime days and now they turn towards God or Sufism…..
All this eventuated from their ambition to equate with men….and in the long run they lost themselves, their families and friends and suffer from loneliness and survive on dole.Stop them dole and all would die dog's death! -
however situation for women is much better now.
to AKB
Islam does not give women that what they really need. Islam only intimidates and insults them and misuses them for its fascism. If a woman lets herself be islamized then she ends up strengthening machoism, misogyny and fascism (esp. in islam).
@ beacon
You may be right in case of some Muslims but you are patently wrong in attributing the misconduct of some Muslims to Islam. Islam allows women total freedom provided they do not cross the limits set by their faith.
Only those women scream about Islam who are Muslim in name and deliberately deny the tenets of Islam. Those Muslim men who oppress women also stand with such women….in reality they do not practice Islam but some Muslimized version of their deviated thinking.

A realtor is responsible for promoting the listings of various properties to those who may be interested in renting or purchasing the property themselves. Realtors help individuals locate homes and properties that are the most suitable for them based on the budget and any preferences included in the search. A realtor should have a complete understanding of home features and functions before offering showings, and should be familiar with the neighborhoods of properties that are being shown to potential buyers who may have questions. Realtors are responsible for answering any questions clients may have about specific properties, zoning laws and even information regarding the home's title and current owners.

Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Realtors with a lot of experience tend to enjoy higher earnings. Those who have worked for fewer than five years take home a median salary of $48K, and workers with five to 10 years of experience earn a higher $66K on average. For Realtors, 10 to 20 years of experience on the job amounts to an average salary of $85K. Realtors who have acquired more than 20 years of relevant experience earn significantly more than folks with fewer years on their resumes; the average income in this veteran group is $124K.

TD-Complete Submission
What to expect when you're expecting (an acceptance letter)
4.15 / 5.00 4,544 ViewsPlease do not watch this it is completely pointless and I might cry myself to sleep tonight because of making this.
Well this is just something I made (poorly) in about... 10 minutes? I just wanted to submit something to Newgrounds on my new account, other than my profile picture (which I'm proud of, please go looky!).
Very well
I think you can do much better. And I understand the neccesary contribution on newgrounds. NOW you have the first one, so keep em firing. Longer, better, funnier.
well, I thought it was silly and cool. So even if your opposed to me liking it, I voted you a fiver. ^.^ Good day then sir, and thank you. =-)
Nice try
Well the animation it to short and the voice acting it's hummm terrible kind of boring but i think it's just for upload something ... Try harder
It IS just for uploading something, since I just made the account, I wanted to upload SOMETHING. So I made this quickly... I guess it's so that people don't think that my account is for commenting on things etc and not actually contributing at all.
If you do not want us to watch this (as you sed in the Author Comments), do not upload it to Newgrounds.
As I also "sed" in the Author Comments it's for uploading at least something so I don't just have an empty account that looks like it won't be doing anything.
-Do people even read....
Did you have to rush?
I can understand you wanted to contribute to Newgrounds so your page wouldn't be so blank, but why do you have to rush? The animation/art is not even that bad and if you had actually taken the time to make something with maybe a story line or atleast longer than you would feel better about it and people would give you better feedback. Try harder next time.

- Developing Health and Family Planning Materials for Low-Literate Audiences: A Guide
This manual describes techniques for communicating information to illiterate and low-literate audiences. The essence of the materials development process described in this guide is interaction with representatives of the groups for whom the materials are developed. Members of target audiences are the "experts" about the messages that need to be conveyed as well as how best to communicate these messages. This methodology may be applied to develop materials beyond the scope of health and family planning to other issues, such as water and sanitation, agriculture, and nutrition.

Senate committee approves health overhaul bill – AP

Oct 13, 2:55 PM EDT
By ERICA WERNER – AP
WASHINGTON (AP) — A pivotal Senate committee has approved a sweeping remake of the country's health care system, delivering a long-sought boost to President Barack Obama's goal of expanding coverage.
The 14-9 vote in the Senate Finance Committee sets up a historic debate on the Senate floor and moves health care overhaul closer to reality than it has been for decades.
Sen. Olympia Snowe of Maine was the only Republican to join 13 committee Democrats in voting "yes."
The 10-year, $829-billion plan approved Tuesday is aimed at extending coverage to millions more Americans, holding down costs and improving health care for all.

WASHINGTON – Huge surges among Hispanic populations in the Deep South could mean a political sea change over the next two decades, as immigrants become naturalized and they and their American-born children register to vote, political and demographics experts say.
The states with some of the largest percentages in Hispanic population growth make up a large swath of the Southeast: Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee, according to an analysis of the most recent Census figures by the Pew Hispanic Center.
In all those Republican-dominated states, the percentage of Hispanics nearly doubled.
In Georgia, that population grew by 96 percent over the past decade, according to the Pew study. Only 23 percent of Georgia's Latino population is eligible to vote, compared with 42 percent nationwide, figures that reflect the state's high numbers of young Hispanics and new immigrants, said Mark Hugo Lopez, the associate director of the Pew Hispanic Center.
Movement similar to civil rights
However, in Georgia, as in many parts of the country, "there are a number of campaigns to continue to focus on people who are here illegally to become citizens," Lopez said. "There continue to be efforts to get them naturalized and registered to vote."
Latino elected officials and activists predict that anti-immigration laws and concerns about redistricting will galvanize that group to become politically active, in much the same way that the civil rights movement spurred African-Americans in the South to register to vote and run for public office.
When a group of political kingmakers in Columbus, Ga., first approached Evelyn "Mimi" Woodson more than a decade ago about running for the city council, the tennis-shoes-and-blue-jeans-wearing former candy storeowner turned grassroots activist scoffed.
'Still in play politically'
She ran. She won. She made history.
"It was a big challenge at first," said Woodson, who was the first Latina in Georgia elected to a city council. "When I would bring up a Latino issue, I would get criticized for focusing on Latino issues. I told them I represent all the people, doesn't matter if you're Black or White."
Woodson said she thought her election foreshadowed things to come.
"The Latino population is still in play politically," said Andra Gillespie, a political science assistant professor at Emory University in Atlanta.
"With the secular realignment of Whites in the South to the Republican Party, Democrats could be at an advantage. Now that there is a third racial group entering the fray, you'll see both groups vying for this group."
However, no group votes monolithically, and both political parties have work to do.
Put off by GOP on immigration
Despite the inroads Republicans were able to make within the Latino community under both Bush presidencies, Hispanics – who can be of any race – have felt increasingly put off by some Republicans' anti-immigration rhetoric.
The Georgia legislature recently passed an immigration bill that contains language on verifying the citizenship of new hires and criminals that's very similar to an Arizona law being challenged in court.
"The calculation among many Republicans in the South is that they can get away with it, for now," said Frank Sharry, the executive director of America's Voice Education Fund, a Washington-based immigration advocacy group.
"The Latino vote is going to transform American politics, even in the South. Imagine coalitions of Latinos, African-Americans and liberal whites turning states that are now ruby red into states that are purple or even blue. If Republicans continue to antagonize Latino voters, they may be facing their comeuppance."
2 more seats for Florida
Hispanic voters are nearly three times more prevalent in states that gained congressional seats and Electoral College votes in the 2010 reapportionment than they are in states that lost seats, according to an analysis of census data by the Pew Hispanic Center.
Based on averages reflecting congressional gains and losses, 15.2 percent of the eligible voter population in states that gained seats is Hispanic, compared with 5.4 percent of eligible voters in those states that lost seats, the study showed.
Georgia gained a seat, as did South Carolina. Florida gained two seats and Texas gained four.
Republicans could take advantage of Hispanics' disappointment in Democrats for failing to pass a comprehensive immigration overhaul or even smaller efforts such as the DREAM Act, which would give the children of illegal immigrants a path to citizenship.
But by continuing to push anti-immigration measures, Republicans may miss an opportunity to connect with Hispanic voters, said Gillespie, of Emory University.
"Republicans can't assume because Latinos are socially conservative and increasingly evangelical in their beliefs that they'll vote with them. You're waking a sleeping giant by espousing policies that are perceived to be threatening in the way they are framed," Gillespie said. "Democrats can't rest on their laurels, either. This is a group that has been under-mobilized."
Opportunities for that type of mobilization are "ripe for the picking" in the 2012 election cycle, Gillespie said.

According to supporters of holistic remedy, forskolin, a natural active obtained from the root section of the coleus forskohlii plant, has a wide range of therapeutic powers. Glaucoma, psoriasis, asthma, underactive thyroid, high blood pressure, cancer and obesity are some of the conditions that this natural ingredient allegedly treats. It is common belief that natural supplements are much safer compared to prescription medication. In spite of the fact that this thought is at times true, it is important to also note that natural remedies like forskolin also have serious side effects. While the forskolin supplementation is reputed for treating various conditions such as insomnia and lung ailments, you should take into account forskolin side effects prior to deciding to use the herbal supplement.
Blood pressure problems
Forskolin is known to further lower blood pressure among its users. Of course, if you take the supplement specifically for this function, then it is not a problem at all; however the danger comes in when you do not want to lower your blood pressure. Hypertension induces blurred vision, dizziness, nausea, poor concentration, fatigue, pale skin or unconsciousness. Such side effects may cause you to trip or fall down and sustain serious injuries. Extremely low blood pressure levels might inhibit your major body organs from accessing the oxygen they require in order to function as expected. Thus, severe hypotension might lead to irreversible brain or heart damage.
Bleeding complications
According to forskolin for weight loss where can i buy this, consumption of forskolin supplements can potentially cause excessive bleeding. This is more likely for people who have just recently undergone a surgical operation or have deep wounds. Additionally, people who are current using blood thinning prescriptions are advised against the use of forskolin product according to the forskolin danger side effects blog.
Stomach acidity
Intake of forskolin poses a potential risk of increasing your stomach acid amounts. Increased acidity in the stomach leads to symptoms like weight loss, nausea and heartburn. If you have been diagnosed with stomach ulcers or other gastrointestinal complications, then you should avoid using forskolin supplement without direct medical supervision. Further damage to the stomach lining may take place when this natural herbal supplement is taken by those suffering from pre-existing digestive problems. Ultimately, this may lead to serious injury to the digestive system which may call for urgent surgical intervention to patch up the damaged tissues.
Drug Interactions
Forskolin generally interacts with a number of different medications. In fact such interactions are one of the major reasons behind harmful forskolin side effects. For example, if you combine the use of forskolin with antihypertensive medication, you run the risk of having your blood pressure decreased to lower levels and other dangerous reactions. No wonder, it is often advised that you discuss with your physician regarding the use of forskolin supplements especially when you are taking blood thinning drugs or antihypertensives.
Forskolin danger side effects blogdoes not reveal whether or not there are any effects of forskolin use on pregnant women. To be on the safe side, pregnant or nursing women are advised to steer clear of the forskolin dietary supplement.

Guest Speaker Katie Koestner to Educate on Preventing Sexual Assault
Nationally known speaker and activist Katie Koestner visits Kent State this week to educate the university community on sexual assault prevention. Koestner will give two presentations the evening of Sept. 23:
General Presentation, "No-Yes", 7 p.m. Kent State Student Center ballroom
This presentation on sexual assault and sexual assault prevention will be open to all incoming freshmen as a "freshman success program" option, all Greek leaders and members as part of "new member" week for fraternities and sororities, athletes and open to the university community. Koestner is as funny as she is poignant, and was a big hit with the students who attended her presentation here this past April. Proof of attendance will be available for anyone faculty member who would like to offer extra credit for students who attend the presentation.
Workshop, "Helping a Sexual Assault Victim/Building Bystander Support", 8:30 - 10 p.m., Kent Student Center ballroom balcony
This training event includes response skills and peer leadership/bystander skills. The training will be offered to residence hall staff, Greek Leaders, student-athlete leaders, STARS leaders and a few select others.
Katie Koestner was the first survivor of date rape to speak out nationally. In "No-Yes", Koestner shares her survivor story, offering the messages of responsible decision-making, accountability in the use of drugs and alcohol and respect for self and peers. Her emotionally charged presentation creates an environment of understanding and helps lay the groundwork for proactive, long-term behavioral transformation. Koestner puts date rape on a level that everyone can feel, and to which anyone can relate.
Both events are sponsored by the Center for Student Involvement and the Women's Center.

Jewish Thought Leader David S. Ariel Presents the Basic Principles of the Kabbalah Sept. 27
The Jewish Studies Program at Kent State University will present a lecture by David S. Ariel, president of the Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies, on Monday, Sept. 27, at 7:30 p.m. in the Kent Student Center Kiva. The lecture is free and open to the public and will focus on the basic principles of Kabbalah.
Ariel says at a time when Hollywood stars have embraced Kabbalah, the Jewish mystical tradition, very few understand it and fewer still can explain it.
He has studied the original sources of the Jewish mystical tradition, the basic principles and teaching of the Kabbalah. Ariel has authored four books, including "Kabbalah," "Spiritual Judaism," "What Do Jews Believe?" and "The Mystic Quest."
"Having someone of Dr. David Ariel's stature and knowledge come to our campus to kick off this year's program is tremendously exciting," says Chaya Kessler, Kent State's Jewish Studies program director. "I have had the pleasure of hearing Dr. Ariel speak, and he is a dynamic speaker as well as an outstanding scholar. I would encourage everyone to attend his talk."
As president of the Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish studies, where Hebrew has been taught continuously for six centuries, he has access to its Bodleian Library that holds the world's leading collection of medieval Hebrew manuscripts.
He served for 25 years as president of Siegal College in Cleveland and built one of the largest graduate programs for Jewish educator development in North America. He also established a broadband videoconferencing network to deliver advanced Jewish studies degrees to students across North America.
Ariel graduated from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and received his master's and doctorate degrees from Brandeis University in Judaic studies, specializing in Jewish intellectual history.
Ariel has lectured widely on Jewish thought throughout the United States, Israel, the former Soviet Union and Europe. He was the first foreigner in 70 years to teach Jewish studies at the Ukraine Academy of Sciences and Kiev State University. In addition, he has served as a consultant to universities and foundations in North America and in many volunteer capacities, including senior policy advisor to the North American Commission on Jewish Education.

Dolce & Gabbana
January 14, 2007
Designers: Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana
Owned By: Private
Founded: 1982, Milan
History: In 1990, six years after showing their first women's collection, Dolce and Gabbana debuted their men's line in Milan. It's been a steady quest for fashion world domination—with jeans, shoes, accessories, fragrances, and the diffusion line D&G—ever since. Across the board, the duo's offerings tend to exhibit equal parts flash (leopard-print scarves, Studio 54-worthy blazers) and finesse (impeccably tailored suits, sleek button-downs, luxe leather goods).
The Look: Impeccably tailored—and unapologetically fashionable

text: Below is a net energy chart from MyEragy.com recorded on July 3, that shows the Volt being charged after driving about 25 miles starting from a full charge - so about 7kWh. Energy below the zero line is being exported to the grid and "banked", above the line is being imported from the grid. This shows that our solar array now can provide all the power needed to charge our Volt in the middle of the summer. (The MyEragy site gets it's data from my TED5000 energy monitor and displays it on the web on a user accessible page).

text: Annual home to the LA Auto Show, the Los Angeles Convention Center was transformed into a 509,000-square-foot arcade late May for the 2002 Electronic Entertainment Expo. Affectionately known as E3, this industry-only event featured over 400 companies revealing their latest video games and hardware to more than 60,000 insiders, providing a comprehensive look at imminent releases and holiday season titles. A unique working environment, the convention halls were filled with massive displays, movie-theater-sized screens, pasty-faced T-shirt wearing programmers, colorful game-inspired characters, and ear-ringing soundscape that was equal parts thrashing music and explosions. We braved the sensory overload to discover and -- in most cases --drive, the next wave of automotive-related games, from marque-specific showcases and official motorsports titles to Hollywood-themed adventures and fanciful combat missions. Thanks to potent console hardware and sophisticated programming, the latest games better approximate driving the actual cars, as well as simulating NASCAR, F1, and rally racing experience. Due to heavy involvement from pro drivers, these motorsports games are now so accurately rendered, real-life racers know when to swerve to avoid dips in the road and even use them for practice (and bragging rights) before races. Real-time online gaming was the big buzz, with both Microsoft and Sony making announcements for this year's releases of online gaming packages. Both will offer annual introductory packages that loiter around $50, though the Xbox Live service will be available a little sooner for broadband users only, and PlayStation 2 online gaming module will be available a little later for both analog and broadband users. While it is a fact that 60 percent of frequent game players play with friends, imagine real-time racing with a buddy across the country, each of you sitting on your own couch talking to each other through the game's headset. It's literally just around the corner, with Xbox Live Beta testing beginning in June. The Expo had a variety of platforms to investigate, with all types of games for Microsoft Xbox, Nintendo GameCube and Gameboy Advance, Sega Dreamcast, Sony PlayStation 2, PC, Mac, and even for some handheld PDAs and cell phones. And while our focus here is on driving games, rest assured the event featured far more, from shoot-em-up slaughterfests to fantasy/sci-fi role-playing epics. Beyond the briefs we present here, the staff used this as a reconnaissance mission for targeting titles for full reviews as they become available.

Past Quotes (42 quotes)
A few days ago, a Master of Arts, who is still a young man, and therefore the recipient of a modern education, stated to me that until he had reached the age of twenty he had never been taught anything whatever regarding natural phenomena, or natural law. Twelve years of his life previously had been spent exclusively amongst the ancients. The case, I regret to say, is typical. Now we cannot, without prejudice to humanity, separate the present from the past.
A strict materialist believes that everything depends on the motion of matter. He knows the form of the laws of motion though he does not know all their consequences when applied to systems of unknown complexity.
Now one thing in which the materialist (fortified with dynamical knowledge) believes is that if every motion great & small were accurately reversed, and the world left to itself again, everything would happen backwards the fresh water would collect out of the sea and run up the rivers and finally fly up to the clouds in drops which would extract heat from the air and evaporate and afterwards in condensing would shoot out rays of light to the sun and so on. Of course all living things would regrede from the grave to the cradle and we should have a memory of the future but not of the past.
The reason why we do not expect anything of this kind to take place at any time is our experience of irreversible processes, all of one kind, and this leads to the doctrine of a beginning & an end instead of cyclical progression for ever.

All that comes above the surface [of the globe] lies within the province of Geography; all that comes below that surface lies inside the realm of Geology. The surface of the earth is that which, so to speak, divides them and at the same time 'binds them together in indissoluble union.' We may, perhaps, put the case metaphorically. The relationships of the two are rather like that of man and wife. Geography, like a prudent woman, has followed the sage advice of Shakespeare and taken unto her 'an elder than herself; but she does not trespass on the domain of her consort, nor could she possibly maintain the respect of her children were she to flaunt before the world the assertion that she is 'a woman with a past.'
As geology is essentially a historical science, the working method of the geologist resembles that of the historian. This makes the personality of the geologist of essential importance in the way he analyzes the past.
Evolution: At the Mind's Cinema
I turn the handle and the story starts:
Reel after reel is all astronomy,
Till life, enkindled in a niche of sky,
Leaps on the stage to play a million parts.
Life leaves the slime and through all ocean darts;
She conquers earth, and raises wings to fly;
Then spirit blooms, and learns how not to die,-
Nesting beyond the grave in others' hearts.
I turn the handle: other men like me
Have made the film: and now I sit and look
In quiet, privileged like Divinity
To read the roaring world as in a book.
If this thy past, where shall they future climb,
O Spirit, built of Elements and Time?

Experiments in geology are far more difficult than in physics and chemistry because of the greater size of the objects, commonly outside our laboratories, up to the earth itself, and also because of the fact that the geologic time scale exceeds the human time scale by a million and more times. This difference in time allows only direct observations of the actual geologic processes, the mind having to imagine what could possibly have happened in the past.
For it is the duty of an astronomer to compose the history of the celestial motions or hypotheses about them. Since he cannot in any certain way attain to the true causes, he will adopt whatever suppositions enable the motions to be computed correctly from the principles of geometry for the future as well as for the past.
Hardly a pure science, history is closer to animal husbandry than it is to mathematics, in that it involves selective breeding. The principal difference between the husbandryman and the historian is that the former breeds sheep or cows or such, and the latter breeds (assumed) facts. The husbandryman uses his skills to enrich the future; the historian uses his to enrich the past. Both are usually up to their ankles in bullshit.
His mind illumined the Past and the Future and wrought greatly for the present. By his genius distant lands converse and men sail unafraid upon the deep.
— Epitaph
Historians constantly rewrite history, reinterpreting (reorganizing) the records of the past. So, too, when the brain's coherent responses become part of a memory, they are organized anew as part of the structure of consciousness. What makes them memories is that they become part of that structure and thus form part of the sense of self; my sense of self derives from a certainty that my experiences refer back to me, the individual who is having them. Hence the sense of the past, of history, of memory, is in part the creation of the self.
Human behaviour reveals uniformities which constitute natural laws. If these uniformities did not exist, then there would be neither social science nor political economy, and even the study of history would largely be useless. In effect, if the future actions of men having nothing in common with their past actions, our knowledge of them, although possibly satisfying our curiosity by way of an interesting story, would be entirely useless to us as a guide in life.
I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience. I know no way of judging of the future but by the past.
If ... the past may be no Rule for the future, all Experience becomes useless and can give rise to no Inferences or Conclusions.
In preparing the present volume, it has been the aim of the author to do full justice to the ample material at his command, and, where possible, to make the illustrations tell the main story to anatomists. The text of such a memoir may soon lose its interest, and belong to the past, but good figures are of permanent value. [Justifying elaborate illustrations in his monographs.]
It would take a civilization far more advanced than ours, unbelievably advanced, to begin to manipulate negative energy to create gateways to the past. But if you could obtain large quantities of negative energyand that's a big IFthen you could create a time machine that apparently obeys Einstein's equation and perhaps the laws of quantum theory.
Im not an historian but I can get interestedobsessively interestedwith any aspect of the past, whether its palaeontology or archaeology or the very recent past.
Know thyself! This is the source of all wisdom, said the great thinkers of the past, and the sentence was written in golden letters on the temple of the gods. To know himself, Linnæus declared to be the essential indisputable distinction of man above all other creatures. I know, indeed, in study nothing more worthy of free and thoughtful man than the study of himself. For if we look for the purpose of our existence, we cannot possibly find it outside ourselves. We are here for our own sake.
Nobody knows more than a tiny fragment of science well enough to judge its validity and value at first hand. For the rest he has to rely on views accepted at second hand on the authority of a community of people accredited as scientists. But this accrediting depends in its turn on a complex organization. For each member of the community can judge at first hand only a small number of his fellow members, and yet eventually each is accredited by all. What happens is that each recognizes as scientists a number of others by whom he is recognized as such in return, and these relations form chains which transmit these mutual recognitions at second hand through the whole community. This is how each member becomes directly or indirectly accredited by all. The system extends into the past. Its members recognize the same set of persons as their masters and derive from this allegiance a common tradition, of which each carries on a particular strand.
Our experience shows that not everything that is observable and measurable is predictable, no matter how complete our past observations may have been.
Scientific training gives its votaries freedom from the impositions of modern quackery. Those who know nothing of the laws and processes of Nature fall an easy prey to quacks and impostors. Perfectionism in the realm of religion; a score of frauds in the realm of medicine, as electric shoe soles, hair brushes and belts, electropises, oxydonors, insulating bed casters, and the like; Christian science. In the presence of whose unspeakable stillness and self-stultifying idealism a wise man knows not whether to laugh or cry; Prof. Weltmer's magnetic treatment of disease; divine healing and miracle working by long-haired peripateticsthese and a score of other contagious fads and rank impostures find their followers among those who have no scientific training. Among their deluded victims are thousands of men and women of high character, undoubted piety, good intentions, charitable impulses and literary culture, but none trained to scientific research. Vaccinate the general public with scientific training and these epidemics will become a thing of the past.
Socrates said, our only knowledge was
To know that nothing could be known; a pleasant
Science enough, which levels to an ass
Each Man of Wisdom, future, past, or present.
Newton, (that Proverb of the Mind,) alas!
Declared, with all his grand discoveries recent,
That he himself felt only like a youth
Picking up shells by the great OceanTruth.

Some blessings have been ours in the past, and these may be repeated or even multiplied.
The advance from the simple to the complex, through a process of successive differentiations, is seen alike in the earliest changes of the Universe to which we can reason our way back, and in the earliest changes which we can inductively establish; it is seen in the geologic and climatic evolution of the Earth; it is seen in the unfolding of every single organism on its surface, and in the multiplication of kinds of organisms; it is seen in the evolution of Humanity, whether contemplated in the civilized individual, or in the aggregate of races; it is seen in the evolution of Society in respect alike of its political, its religious, and its economical organization; and it is seen in the evolution of all those endless concrete and abstract products of human activity which constitute the environment of our daily life. From the remotest past which Science can fathom, up to the novelties of yesterday, that in which Progress essentially consists, is the transformation of the homogeneous into the heterogeneous.
The advance of science is not comparable to the changes of a city, where old edifices are pitilessly torn down to give place to new, but to the continuous evolution of zoologic types which develop ceaselessly and end by becoming unrecognisable to the common sight, but where an expert eye finds always traces of the prior work of the centuries past. One must not think then that the old-fashioned theories have been sterile and vain.
The Archetypal idea was manifested in the flesh, under divers such modifications, upon this planet, long prior to the existence of those animal species that actually exemplify it. To what natural laws or secondary causes the orderly succession and progression of such organic phaenomena may have been committed we as yet are ignorant. But if, without derogation of the Divine power, we may conceive the existence of such ministers, and personify them by the term 'Nature,' we learn from the past history of our globe that she has advanced with slow and stately steps, guided by the archetypal light, amidst the wreck of worlds, from the first embodiment of the Vertebrate idea under its old Ichthyic vestment, until it became arrayed in the glorious garb of the Human form.
The Doctrine of Evolution states the fact that the present is the child of the past and the parent of the future.
The meaning of human life and the destiny of man cannot be separable from the meaning and destiny of life in general. 'What is man?' is a special case of 'What is life?' Probably the human species is not intelligent enough to answer either question fully, but even such glimmerings as are within our powers must be precious to us. The extent to which we can hope to understand ourselves and to plan our future depends in some measure on our ability to read the riddles of the past. The present, for all its awesome importance to us who chance to dwell in it, is only a random point in the long flow of time. Terrestrial life is one and continuous in space and time. Any true comprehension of it requires the attempt to view it whole and not in the artificial limits of any one place or epoch. The processes of life can be adequately displayed only in the course of life throughout the long ages of its existence.
The scientist, if he is to be more than a plodding gatherer of bits of information, needs to exercise an active imagination. The scientists of the past whom we now recognize as great are those who were gifted with transcendental imaginative powers, and the part played by the imaginative faculty of his daily life is as least as important for the scientist as it is for the worker in any other field—much more important than for most. A good scientist thinks logically and accurately when conditions call for logical and accurate thinking—but so does any other good worker when he has a sufficient number of well-founded facts to serve as the basis for the accurate, logical induction of generalizations and the subsequent deduction of consequences.
The subject-matter of Archaeology is threefoldthe Oral, the Written and the Monumental.
There are still psychologists who, in a basic misunderstanding, think that gestalt theory tends to underestimate the role of past experience. Gestalt theory tries to differentiate between and-summative aggregates, on the one hand, and gestalten, structures, on the other, both in sub-wholes and in the total field, and to develop appropriate scientific tools for investigating the latter. It opposes the dogmatic application to all cases of what is adequate only for piecemeal aggregates. The question is whether an approach in piecemeal terms, through blind connections, is or is not adequate to interpret actual thought processes and the role of the past experience as well. Past experience has to be considered thoroughly, but it is ambiguous in itself; so long as it is taken in piecemeal, blind terms it is not the magic key to solve all problems.
There can be no real conflict between the two Books of the Great Author. Both are revelations made by Him to man,the earlier telling of God-made harmonies coming up from the deep past, and rising to their height when man appeared, the later teaching man's relations to his Maker, and speaking of loftier harmonies in the eternal future.
There is only one law of Nature—the second law of thermodynamics—which recognises a distinction between past and future more profound than the difference of plus and minus. It stands aloof from all the rest. ... It opens up a new province of knowledge, namely, the study of organisation; and it is in connection with organisation that a direction of time-flow and a distinction between doing and undoing appears for the first time.
We ought then to consider the present state of the universe as the effect of its previous state and as the cause of that which is to follow. An intelligence that, at a given instant, could comprehend all the forces by which nature is animated and the respective situation of the beings that make it up, if moreover it were vast enough to submit these data to analysis, would encompass in the same formula the movements of the greatest bodies of the universe and those of the lightest atoms. For such an intelligence nothing would be uncertain, and the future, like the past, would be open to its eyes.
We see past time in a telescope and present time in a microscope. Hence the apparent enormities of the present.
What is possible can never be demonstrated to be false; and 'tis possible the course of nature may change, since we can conceive such a change. Nay, I will go farther, and assert, that he could not so much as prove by any probable arguments, that the future must be conformable to the past. All probable arguments are built on the supposition, that there is this conformity betwixt the future and the past, and therefore can never prove it. This conformity is a matter of fact, and if it must be proved, will admit of no proof but from experience. But our experience in the past can be a proof of nothing for the future, but upon a supposition, that there is a resemblance betwixt them. This therefore is a point, which can admit of no proof at all, and which we take for granted without any proof.
When every fact, every present or past phenomenon of that universe, every phase of present or past life therein, has been examined, classified, and co-ordinated with the rest, then the mission of science will be completed. What is this but saying that the task of science can never end till man ceases to be, till history is no longer made, and development itself ceases?
While it is never safe to affirm that the future of Physical Science has no marvels in store even more astonishing than those of the past, it seems probable that most of the grand underlying principles have been firmly established and that further advances are to be sought chiefly in the rigorous application of these principles to all the phenomena which come under our notice.
Why is it so easy to acquire the solutions of past problems and so difficult to solve current ones
Why should we look to the past in order to prepare for the future? Because there is nowhere else to look.
Without adventure civilization is in full decay. ... The great fact [is] that in their day the great achievements of the past were the adventures of the past.
[On common water.] Its substance reaches everywhere; it touches the past and prepares the future; it moves under the poles and wanders thinly in the heights of air. It can assume forms of exquisite perfection in a snowflake, or strip the living to a single shining bone cast up by the sea.
[To] mechanical progress there is apparently no end: for as in the past so in the future, each step in any direction will remove limits and bring in past barriers which have till then blocked the way in other directions; and so what for the time may appear to be a visible or practical limit will turn out to be but a bend in the road.
