What stories do the bones of prehistory tell? Russian scientists theorize that the body of a 16-year-old mammoth named Jenya - named for the 11-year-old boy who first saw the mammoth's bones sticking out of the Siberian tundra was in search of either food or females when he was probably speared by the local cavemen.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Professor Alexei Tikhonov of the Zoology Institute in St. Petersburg says the mammoth was excavated from the Siberian permafrost in late September near the Sopochnaya Karga cape, 2,200 miles northeast of Moscow.
Professors say that Jenya the mammoth was 6 feet 6 inches tall and weighed 500 to 1,100 pounds. "He was pretty small for his age," Tikhonov told The Associated Press.
Jenya was missing a left tusk that made him unfit for fights with other mammoths or human hunters who were settling the Siberian marshes and swamps some 20,000-30,000 years ago. Splits on Jenya's remaining tusk show a "possible human touch," he added.
An examination of Jenya's remains has proved that the massive humps on mammoths seen on Ice Age cave paintings in Spain and France were not extended bones. Rather, these lumps were huge chunks of fat that helped mammoths regulate their body temperatures and survive the long, cold winters.
Jenya's hump was relatively big, which means he died during a short Arctic summer, Tikhonov says.
Mammoths were up to 13 feet in height and 10 tons in weight. These prehistoric pachyderms migrated across huge areas between Great Britain and North America and were driven to extinction by humans along with the changing climate.
Woolly mammoths are thought to have died out around 10,000 years ago. Some scientists think small groups of them lived longer in Alaska and on Russia's Wrangel Island off the Siberian coast.
Mammoth remains have been found in the Siberian permafrost and most of the well-preserved mammoths are calves. Jenya's carcass is the best-preserved one since the 1901 discovery of a giant mammoth near the Beryozovka River in Russia's northeastern Yakutia region.
The mammoth's DNA has been damaged by low temperatures and is "hardly" suitable for possible cloning, scientists say.
Researchers are placing their bets on an earlier mammoth discovery in order to help recreate the Ice Age elephant.
Russia's North-Eastern Federal University said in early September that an international team of researchers had discovered mammoth hair, soft tissues and bone marrow some 328 feet underground during a summer expedition in Yakutia.
Some think it's possible to recreate the prehistoric animal if they find living cells in the permafrost. Those who succeed in recreating an extinct animal could claim a "Jurassic Park prize," a concept being developed by the X Prize Foundation that awarded a 2004 prize for the first private spacecraft.

"State Farm is proud to support the World of Money Youth Financial Education Training Institute. It is a pleasure to partner in the communities on positive change!" says Naomi T. Johnson, State Farm Public Affairs-New York Community Relations.
Founded in 2005, the WorldofMoney.org is a New York City based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to empower youth with a sound financial foundation. Now more than ever this organization is needed to break a generational cycle and to change the way youth, Young Moguls (ages 7 - 9); Rising Moguls (ages 10 - 12) and Moguls (ages 13 - 18), view money by equipping them with five tenets for a financially responsible and philanthropic life: learn, earn, save, invest and donate.
The organization was selected as a Promise Place by America's Promise Alliance and by AOL Impact as one of ten top social good organizations in America. Having these basic financial planning tools encourages youth to become family team players, maximize their longer-term financial well-being and to balance consumer and investor behaviours. The curriculum includes basic Mandarin Chinese, Excel, community service and year round alumni activities, including a Parent "Money Matters' Forum. In August 2013 and 2014, we will tour three cities on mainland China.
In August 2012, the Summer Youth Financial Institute graduated 142 youth in an impressive ceremony at Riverside Church. With concerted marketing efforts, the organization is determined to increase the number of youth it educates. Parents, from as far away as Texas and Florida, have registered their children in the New York-based Institute. Founding CEO Sabrina Lamb adds, "Corporate support, like that of State Farm, helps us to empower youth by emphasizing academic success and changing the legacy of family financial instability and poverty. And we urge all youth and their parents to join us in this movement."

A few days ago, someone forwarded me one of those mildly entertaining but mostly unoriginal emails titled "you know you grew up in the 80's if…†which listed trivial overgeneralizations such as "3. You know that 'WOAH' comes from Joey on Blossom†and "26. You remember boom boxes and walking around with one on your shoulder like you were all that.†These are 100 percent accurate because everyone watched Blossom and tried to be like Radio Raheem back in the day.
Unsatisfied with this list, I decided to form my own 80's list but put a baseball twist on it. Without further introduction, I present to you my first, and hopefully last, effort at writing the lowest form of modern literature otherwise known as a chain email titled:
You know you were a baseball fan in the 80's ifâ€Â
1. You watched This Week in Baseball every Saturday afternoon and still get fired up every time you hear the theme song.
2. You wanted to be a member of "the Baseball Bunch†so you could show Johnny Bench and Tommy Lasorda how great you were at catching pop-ups.
3. You'd convince your mom to buy Twinkies or Ho Ho's so you could cut out the baseball cards on the back of the boxes.
4. You can remember Wrigley Field before it had lights.
5. You can remember when a player had to play at least 20 games in the big leagues before they'd issue a baseball card for him.
6. You've cut your gums by biting into a rock-hard chewing gum stick from a year-old pack of baseball cards.
7. You can remember when hitting 30 home runs qualified as a monster season.
8. You can remember when several pitchers would win over 20 games in the same season.
9. You can remember when teams would wear baby blue colored uniforms on the road.
10. You can remember when the Kansas City Royals were actually competitive in the American League.
11. You have watched a World Series game live in the afternoon.
12. You have watched baseball on NBC and Monday Night Baseball on ABC.
13. You have watched Thursday Night Baseball on the USA Network.
14. You ever collected baseball cards for the shear joy of it, unconcerned about how much the cards were worth.
15. You can remember a time when some major league players made less than $100,000 per year.
16. You can remember when the Wrigley Field bleachers could accurately be called "cheap seats.â€Â
17. You remember when having a player's Topps card was the only one that really mattered.
18. You remember when Mark McGwire and Barry Bonds were built like normal human beings.
19. You remember having to wait until the next day's newspaper arrived to check out the day's box scores.
20. You can remember twilight doubleheaders, and doubleheaders that were actually on the opening day schedule prior to there being any rainouts.
21. You've stuffed a whole package of big league chew in your mouth at the same time to make it appear as though you're chewing tobacco like a big leaguer.
22. You had an iron-on t-shirt custom made with your favorite player's face on the front.
23. You can remember buying a pack of baseball cards for less than 50 cents.
24. You remember when the Baltimore Oriole was a happy bird, not just a boring Oriole.
25. You've seen a relief pitcher carted onto the field by a baseball-shaped golf cart.
If you forward this column to at least 50 people, your team will win at least 100 games this year.
If you forward this column to 25-49 people, your team will make the playoffs.
If you forward this column to 2-24 people, your team will finish .500 or better.
If you forward this column to zero or only one person, half your team will be on the disabled list by May and your team will be GUARANTEED to lose at least 100 games.
This is fantastic. I am not really old enough to really remember all of this (I was born in 81), but were some legitimate laughs in there. Including the big league chew one- we also used fruit roll-ups. BTW, number 7 is also an example of why Jim Rice should be in the Hall of Fame.
Great stuff, man. Dead on with TWIB. That theme song playing to the highlights at the end is just about the coolest thing in the world. I wanted to add a comment about Margo Adams in Penthouse, but this is my 1st time on the site & I haven't gotten the lay of the land yet.

Best Local Girl Gone Bad (2013)
Jennifer Capriati
Twitter is a funny thing. It gives us a glimpse — ugly and real as it may be sometimes — of famous people like Jennifer Capriati. She's been tennis royalty since she broke onto the scene at the tender age of 13 in 1990. She was fearless, talented, and powerful. In the first three years of her pro career, Capriati won six singles titles and an Olympic gold medal. Her fall from grace was swift when, in 1993, she took a yearlong break from the sport only to find herself in trouble with the law for shoplifting and pot possession. But then she came storming back in 1998, winning Wimbledon once and the Australian Open twice and regaining her spot as a top-ranked women's tennis player. Just last year, she was selected to the International Tennis Hall of Fame. But her postplaying days have been distressing, as the world would soon learn via her Twitter feed. Earlier this year, bizarre tweets from Capriati began to emerge. At first, they sounded like a teenaged girl in a relationship crisis. But then things got darker. "Besides the truth + my strength prevailing. The only thing I want is this man to be stopped + for a mother + her son to get what they deserve!!" read one rancorous tweet. Capriati would soon be arrested and charged with stalking and battery on her ex-boyfriend. Allegedly, she sent more than 280 text messages to him, punched him several times, called his business 50 times in one day, and pounded on the windows of the business. She also allegedly stole his phone and harassed him in a Publix parking lot. Capriati has always been viewed as a sort of bad girl of pro tennis. She's trying to find her inner peace now, though. One tweet at a time.

We want to invite you to Pray with a Mission! As we work together to 'change lives', I believe the most important aspect is putting God first and asking for His covering , direction and helping us through personal and organizational growth.
The Armor of God
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. …18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people.
Each month, the East Bay Church in Berkley holds a prayer meeting and prays for each of us. I thought how great it would be if all of our donors would also pray!

Thank you so much for being a part of the Heavenly Treasures ministry! Below are a few FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) about Heavenly Treasures. I hope this helps you understand more about our ministry. Please use this information as you share about HT with your family and friends! What is the difference between Heavenly Treasures and Shop With A Mission? Heavenly Treasures is a micro enterprise ministry and a registered public 501(c)3 organization. We are incorporated and have a board of directors and advisory board. Shop With A Mission is the retail division of Heavenly Treasures, including the storefront, online sales and also the service mark. What is a micro enterprise? It is a small business, often with less than 5-6 employees. In developing countries, micro-enterprises are the vast majority of the small business sector—a result of the lack of jobs available for the poor. Sometimes whole communities and villages can be impacted by one business and these micro enterprises add to a country's economy— creating jobs and enhancing income. Do you give micro loans? No, we focus on micro enterprise and livelihood project development. How many countries do you work in and how many projects do you work with? Heavenly Treasures now has projects in 17 countries and we work with over 1,000 artisans. Since each artisan supports up to 10 family members, our ministry is impacting over 10,000 lives. What does it mean that 100% of the sale proceeds are reinvested back into the livelihood projects? Each project has its own account in our bookkeeping system where we can track their progress. The main way we reinvest funds is through purchasing more products. By doing this, it helps ensure the artisans have ongoing business and a sustainable income. When possible, funds are designated for special needs, equipping seminars and equipment. If 100% of the proceeds go back to the projects, how do you operate? Heavenly Treasures operates on a donor-supported infrastructure. We are capitalized through donations, grants and other charitable funding from churches and individuals, such as yourself! Thank you so much for you continued support to Heavenly Treasures! You're equipping us and changing lives throughout the world! Every product represents a changed life, Kathy

Iran May Have Aircraft Carrier Destroying Missile
The Russian state owned arms manufacturing firm Novator Design Bureau in Yekaterinburg was aggressively marketing the "Sizzler" anti ship missile at last month's IDEX 2007, said Steve Zaloga, a missile analyst with the Teal Group, a Fairfax, Virginia-based defense research organization. The IDEX is the Middle East's largest weapons exposition.
The Sizzler is a weapon that the US Navy has known about for six years but still has not developed a proven defense system to counter the threat. The Sizzler is a unique highly dangerous missile. Conventional anti ship missiles fly at sub sonic speeds and fly in a straight line. They therefore can be tracked and brought down by multi layed anti missile defense systems deployed on American aircraft carriers.
The Sizzler is a much more capable and dangerous weapon. "This is a carrier-destroying weapon," said Orville Hanson, who evaluated weapons systems for 38 years with the Navy. "That's its purpose."
The Sizzler can be launched from a new class of silent diesel powered submarines. It starts out at subsonic speeds but about ten miles from a target the warhead separates from the projectile and a rocket fires increasing the missiles velocity to three times the speed of sound, about 2,000 miles per hour. As if the high speed didn't present enough of a challenge to an aircraft carrier's defense system the Sizzler is capable of sharp high speed evasive maneuvers that makes it highly difficult to defend against.
The Chinese are known to have deployed these missiles. If the Chinese ever decide to invade Taiwan American aircraft carriers at their current level of protection may prove to be defenseless against the Sizzler threat.
The Russians are known to have had talks with the Iranians about selling them Sizzler missiles. With tensions in the Gulf region heating up one would guess that the Iranians would convert some of their oil money into Sizzler missiles. With Sizzler missiles deployed the multi billion dollar United States aircraft carriers with their 5,500 man crews would be extremely vulnerable not only to crippling attacks but to being completely destroyed.
The Sizzler was developed with one thing only as its mission. That is to destroy aircraft carriers. Aircraft carriers are at the heart of any US offensive warfare strategy.
If indeed the carriers safety is gravely endangered by the Sizzler missile, and in the event of a conflict even one US carrier was lost, the prospect of an immediate escalation to nuclear weapons on the part of US naval battle groups would be high. Since the Sizzler is fired from a new class of fast and silent diesel powered submarines a "ring of fire" would likely be laid down by any remaining US aircraft carriers in the area in an effort to "clear" the area of any remaining threats.
The deployment of Sizzler missiles by countries that are potentially hostile to the US is a Pentagon war planners nightmare. No doubt a serious carrier incident in the Straits of Hormuz or in the Straits of Taiwan would have a lasting long term effect on US strategic planning.
The age of multi billion dollar aircraft carrier battle groups being able to quickly project American might into areas of the world defended by Sizzler missiles or perhaps more advanced future missile systems would likely come to an abrupt end.

So, if America is worried about these missiles, why are they provoking the holders of said missiles? Are they willing to sacrifice thousands of American sailors so they can unleash the nuclear saber they keep rattling?

The concept of an aircraft carrier is as worthless nowadays as the battleship was during WWII.

I have some issues with this. I'm not discounting the effectiveness of the weapon, but it's fired from a diesel sub. It doesn't matter how "silent" the subs are they still need to surface to charge there batteries. In addition, if the US has the capability to track and stalk the newest generation Russian subs, then they can track, stalk, and attack any diesel sub.
Another question i must rasie is if the US has known about this weapon for six years, do you think the US has been sitting More..Posted Apr-9-2008 By

I LOVE the photo...the thread is talking about "anti-shipping missiles" and yet the photo is of an badly laid...amateurish dispersment of anti- tank mines...unburied...laying on the surface...what a SPECTACULAR demonstration of the incompetence of the IA!Posted Apr-24-2009 By

The Russians just love to distribute missiles. They lerned about the missiles in the 1980s, Reagan taught em, and they learned.

The 3M-54E 'sizzler' is real, but how this post depicts its invulnerability to current defense systems is NOT.
The 'sizzler' is roughly comparable to current anti-ship missiles like the American HARPOON missile, except it is smaller and has a shorter range..
None the less, I like how the source is conveniently left absent (there isn't one.)
This is an awful lot of wishful thinking.Posted Apr-25-2009 By

This recipe comes from �Canning for a New Generation.� It�s sort of a spicy cranberry sauce. I prefer to think of it as a fancy appetizer for your next party. That�s because the spicy berries pair beautifully with cheese and crackers.
6 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
3 cups sugar
1 cup orange juice� cup orange liqueur such as Cointreau, Grand Marnier or triple sec
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
� teaspoon nutmeg
Bring water in your canner to a boil (you will need enough water to cover the jars by 1-inch).
When the water boils, place 6 half-pint canning jars into the canner. This will sterilize the jars while you prepare the cranberries.
Place a small plate in the freezer (this is for testing the doneness of the berries).
Put all of the ingredients in a large, heavy-bottomed pan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce temperature and bring to a simmer.
Simmer, stirring frequently, for about 15 minutes. You know the berries are done when a teaspoon of the syrup spooned onto the freezer plate and then set back in the freezer for a minute wrinkles when you nudge it. Remove from heat.
Ladle boiling water from the canner into the bowl with the lids and rims. Using a jar lifter, carefully lift the sterilized jars from the canner, pouring off the water.
Place them upright on a clean towel.
Ladle the hot cranberries into the jars, leaving �-inch headspace at the top. Wipe the rims of the jars, and then put a flat lid and a ring on each jar. Screw shut. Return the jars to the water in the canner, and make sure the water covers the tops of the jars by at least 1 inch. Bring water back to a boil.
Leave jars in the boiling water for 5 minutes to process. Remove jars to a clean towel on the countertop and leave for 12 hours.
After 1 hour, check to see if the jars have sealed by pressing down on the center of each. If it can be pushed down, it hasn�t sealed, and the jar should be refrigerated immediately.
Makes 6 half-pints.
This recipe comes from �Bacon Nation.� Unlike the spiced cranberries above, you cannot can and preserve the bacon jam. Instead, it is meant to be refrigerated and eaten within a week. Actually, that�s not a problem. This stuff is really, really good.
Serve it on crackers with cheese. Actually, it is fantastic when paired with the spiced cranberries. The sweet berries and the smoky bacon work beautifully together.
�-pound bacon, cut into half-inch pieces
1 medium shallot, diced
1 teaspoon seeded and chopped jalapeno
� cup packed brown sugar
� cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons orange juice
2 tablespoons bourbon
3 pieces fresh ginger, peeled and cut into the size and thickness of a quarter1 bay leaf
� teaspoon honey or maple syrupBlack pepper, to taste
Fry the bacon until crisp. Drain on a paper towel. Discard all but about 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat.
Saute the shallot and jalapeno in the remaining bacon fat for 1 to 2 minutes (the shallot should be softened). Add the fried bacon along with the brown sugar, vinegar, orange juice, bourbon and fresh ginger to the pan. Stir to combine.
Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, and continue to simmer until most of the liquid is gone (about 10 to 15 minutes), stirring occasionally.
Remove the bay leaf. Process mixture in a food processor or blender until bacon is finely diced but not pureed. Add a little black pepper to taste along with the honey.
Serve with crackers and cheese.
Makes � cup
Dear Santa,
I understand this is kind of a rough time of year for you. Between making all of those toys, tending to the reindeer and trying to watch all those back episodes of �The Big Bang Theory� on your DVR, you probably don�t have a lot of time to mess around. Thus, I�ll keep things simple.
Get me cookbooks.
I know what you�re going to say. Between Michael and me, we already have more than 300 cookbooks. We have outgrown the shelves in the kitchen and have had to start storing cookbooks in the spare bedroom � and in the attic.
And yes, I get a lot of recipes from the Internet. From Smitten Kitchen to Epicurious, there�s no need for printed cookbooks.
Except that I love them. I have loved them ever since my sister got �Betty Crocker�s New Boys and Girls Cookbook.� We poured over those recipes until the pages started to fall out. Years later, I convinced my mother to buy another book: The 1981 edition of �Betty Crocker�s Cookbook,� and again, I picked out recipes for chocolate chip cake and lemon meringue pie. In college, I joined a cookbook club and started to build a collection of my own. I still use many of those books on a regular basis.
Below you�ll find a list of a few new titles that have caught my eye. Each one is available at bookstores around Iowa City, so please, Santa, pick them up locally. It�s also possible that other people might be interested in these books, so I have included a few extra items that would make the gift even more special.
'The Mast Brothers Chocolate Family Cookbook'
By Rick and Michael Mast
Give it with: Mast Brothers Chocolate Bars (available at John�s Grocery)
They had me at Primghar.
That�s Primghar, Iowa, known also as �The Only Primghar in the World.� The Mast Brothers � Rick and Michael � were born in the O�Brien County town that is just 20 minutes from my own childhood home of Sheldon. They left with their mother when still young and moved to Iowa City. Today, they operate out of Brooklyn, N.Y.
Still, they never lost their connection to Northwest Iowa: �Long before the question: �How is chocolate made?� crossed our lips � and when the people and farms of Central America were no more real to us than bedtime stories � our attention was focused on Iowa, our birthplace, the place that set the stage for my love affair with food.�
That�s how the chapter �Food Memories� from their book �The Mast Brothers Chocolate Family Cookbook� begins. It�s a beautiful book with recipes for everything from chocolate milk to chocolate cranberry pork tenderloin. It is also a great read with stories about family and sourcing chocolate.
'Canning for a New Generation,' by Liana Krissoff and/or 'Saving the Season'
By Kevin West
Give it with: Canning supplies including jars, lids/rims, a jar lifter, etc.
It�s often been said that everything old is new again. That�s sure true of canning. When I was growing up, my mother canned everything from beets to peaches to tomatoes. I remember the basement shelves lined with jars. Others seem to have those memories, too, because canning is hot again. I realized that last summer when I tried to find a couple of the newest canning titles at the Iowa City Public Library. They were checked out for weeks.
If someone you know had the same problem, why not give them one or both of these books? They both offer classic recipes � strawberry jam � and some more interesting fare: slow roasted fig preserves with lemon.
Give these books with a selection of canning supplies. You can give the standard Ball or Kerr jars or get something a little fancier. Personally, I love Weck jars as well as Bormioli Rocco.
'Bacon 24/7'
By E. Jane Armstrong and Theresa Gilliam
'Bacon Nation'
By Peter Kaminsky and Marie Rama
Give it with: A cast iron frying pan or a cast iron bacon press
I hate single-ingredient cookbooks. How many potato recipes do you need?
But this is bacon. Bacon has had something of a renaissance these past few years with folks developing a taste for things like bacon popcorn and bacon doughnuts as well as the traditional breakfast pairing with eggs. I don�t really like a lot of those trendy tastes, so I initially dismissed both of these books.
Then I looked inside. �Bacon 24/7� is food porn. The photos are so gorgeous that my mouth was watering right in the middle of Prairie Lights. �Bacon Nation� is a bit more traditional, though the recipes look just as delicious. I plan on serving the Bacon Jelly very soon.
Pair either or both of these books with a cast iron skillet or with a cast iron bacon press.
Of course, this is a recipe column and not my private pipeline to Santa. Thus, I supposed I should include a few recipes. Both are incredibly easy to make. They also would be perfect for your holiday entertaining this season.

Love And Pain - Poem by david stasio
Very few will know the pain I feel
For a piece of my heart has died.
Giving in full my heart and soul to you
Not knowing the pain it would cause
Do you too feel the pain I feel inside
Is there even a care of if I live or if I die
Like no other was the love we shared
Feelings from deep within our souls
There's a smile upon your face
Is there a tear within your heart
My heart was with yours as one
Now never to be whole again
You hold the forever missing piece
A place never to be filled again
For your love I will hold and wait
There will be no other til you return
Or I lay within my grave.

Positive Psychology (A)
Fall 2014 quarter
Taught by
Following Frankl's existentialist urgings toward hope and meaning, as well as the humanists' emphasis on self-actualization, leading scholars in psychology founded "positive psychology" in 1998. Since that time, we now have a better understanding of humans at their best. This worldwide collaborative effort has attempted to balance early psychology's focus on psychopathology. In this class, we will study correlates to life satisfaction and examine empirical science as well as practical strategies for promoting well being, quality of life, and resilience. Students will engage in experiential activities related to gratitude, hope, altruism, etc., as well as seminar with inmates working on this material in a state prison.

God's Indescribable Gift
At Christmastime, all kinds of gifts come to mind. Some are just what we want, some are practical, and some are necessities. God's gift to us in Christ is great beyond description, and it is exactly what we need: a Savior for sinners.
id: 2776
The Age of the Spirit
Many people claim to be Christians, but what does it really mean to live as a follower of Jesus Christ today? Do we even come close to the belief and behavior described in the Bible? Hear what it means to truly live in the age of the Spirit and learn how you can have a practical and useful faith in the 21st Century.
Series: Encore 2011
The Man Who is God
Birth signifies the start of life, but in the opening verses of the Gospel of John we're introduced to the fact that in Jesus, God is made flesh. But if God has always existed, what does this say about Jesus? Learn what this means, and why it matters as we discover the "Man who is God".
id: 0578
God Has Spoken
The Christmas season offers more than hollow sentiment: the incarnation of Jesus is the culmination of God's revelation of Himself. Join us as we learn from Hebrews 1:1-6 that the story of Christmas is the story of a Jesus worth believing in.
id: 2775
A Mysterious Miracle
"Will God really dwell on earth with men?" In Christ, God answered Solomon's question with a resounding yes. The incarnation is neither irrelevant nor so far removed from us that ordinary Christians can ignore it. It is foundational. Join us in looking at this wonderful truth in light of God's relationship with His people throughout scripture.

Case Closed!
"Case closed." Satan, our enemies, and our own consciences may raise our sins against us. But no accusation can stand against those who are in Christ because He has made a full and wonderful atonement for our sins, and payment for them cannot be required again. The Christian's confidence is in our victorious, living Savior.
id: 2772
Series: Life In The Spirit
No Separation
As we conclude our studies in Romans 8, we see that the great truths of the gospel persuaded Paul that his confidence was all in Christ. Christians are "more than conquerors" because Christ, who is sovereign over all, triumphed on the cross and loves us with an everlasting love.
id: 2773

The Christ of History
The focal point of history and eternity is not in the movement of great armies or nations or in the decisions of lawmakers or celebrities, but in the person and work of Jesus Christ. In this study we learn how Jesus fulfills and defines the role of prophet, priest and king.

If you travel to India, you'll encounter a culture that is governed by the worship of hundreds of deities. Western society is no different, although our gods and idols tend to be much more subtle. But what are these gods and idols? Are they real? How do they measure up to the God of the Bible?

Chinese Blue and White PorcelainTo many people blue and white is virtually synonymous with the entire range of Chinese porcelain with a large number regarding the ubiquitous Willow Pattern as the main, if not the only decorative motif. The truth is vastly different in that the history of blue and white over the last 600 years has far more to say and thus is deserving of serious study. |

Cuba is one of those exotic locations that everyone should travel to at least once. With the changes in Cuban regulations, flights to this foreign country will soon be available for Americans to visit. We highlighted some of the special attractions that Cuba has to offer, from enjoying the fresh mojitos to adoring the surf and sand of the Caribbean. There are plenty of reasons why you shouldn't wait to get over to Cuba. To help seal the deal, we have compiled some of our favorite things to do in Cuba once you arrive.
Get Fresh Cuban Cigars Straight from the Plantation Take a walking tour of the local tobacco plantation. Located in the southwest area of Pinar del Rio, you'll find a spot where they have been growing fresh tobacco since 1845 - and in 1997 they launched a famous line of cigars known as the Vegas Robaina. This plantation has been unofficially open to the public for quite some time. But, if you visit, get ready to do a little work to earn those cigars. You'll have to take a walk through the fields, see the tobacco-making process and even check out the wrappers and rolling process yourself. There is an on-site café that gives every guest a complimentary cigar, but you can also purchase a few more to go if you would like. Visit Downtown Havana Havana is easily one of the most popular spots in all of Cuba. There is plenty to do right here and you could spend your entire vacation in this one spot and have access to amazing food, stores, and of course the beach. Its central location is perfect for quick travel and the historic districts provide you with plenty of sights to take in. Don't forget to check out the even more exciting nightlife that Cuba is known for while you're in the downtown area. Visit Christopher Columbus Cemetery Also known as the city of marble, the Cemeteries de Colon is worth the time. Here you will find a beautiful mixture of tombs and you can even hire a guide to take you through and give you a little background on the cemetery, including its inhabitants. Take in the 50's One thing you will notice from the moment you get off the plane is that Cuba is all about the 1950's. You'll see plenty of 1950's automobiles in mint condition still driving down the streets of Havana. Here owners have a real sense of pride in their vehicles and these relics to the United States are still used for everyday getting around in Cuba. You can even rent a 1950's car at some car rental places or take a taxi ride down the coast in one. Drink Delicious Mojitos Just About Anywhere You Go You cannot visit Cuba without having a mojito or two. Make sure no matter where you go you are getting the authentic Havana Club Rum though - for the true experience. Some great places to get authentic mojitos include Hotel Nacional de Cuba, La Bodeguita del Medio and El Floridita. While most of these bars are full of fellow tourists, they still offer some of the best drinks in Cuba. If you go at the right time of the day you will even see first-rate artists playing music. But, if you are bar hopping mid-day, don't be surprised to find a lot of establishments closed. Cuba is known more for their nightlife, which means you won't see the best bars open their doors until well after the sun goes down. Spend a Day at Playa Ancon One of the finest beaches in the world is in Cuba. Playa Ancon, with its perfect white sand beaches and crystal blue water, is considered one of the finest beaches in the area. You'll find plenty of all-inclusive resorts parked right here on the shore, snorkeling lessons and even opportunities to go diving into the reefs just off the sand. Walk through Museo Historico Municipal Get a real taste of Cuba's culture at the grandiose museum located just off of Plaza Mayor. This mansion used to belong to the Borrell Family until 1830 and eventually was passed down to the Cantero family. You can see all of Trinidad from the top of the tower, check out the neoclassical decorations inside each room, and more. The view alone makes it worth every penny of the admission fee -but we recommend showing up before 11am so you can avoid the tourist crowds.

Travel Advice
Ice bars don't just sell ice, they are made of ice. From unique ice sculptures to walls made from ice, these cool establishments are definitely a place to chill out. Ice bars are hot tourist destinations, but they can make for some great Friday night fun too. You may be surprised to find an ice bar in your own city - or a place you are traveling too soon enough. Even more surprising, ice bars tend to pop up in some of the warmest destinations around the globe. Even if you aren't one for the cold, you have to visit an ice bar at least once in a lifetime - after all, how can you miss out on the opportunity to sit on a couch made from ice?
Orlando, Florida: The First Ice Bar in the United States The Ice-Bar, located in Orlando, Florida, is the first and largest ice bar in the U.S. It features unique ice sculptures by a Master Carver and boasts over 50 tons of ice inside. This icy crystal palace has a throne, sofa, fireplace and even chairs all carved out of ice. Cocktails are served up nice and chilled in glasses that are molded from ice - you will never have to worry about your drink losing its chill. The bar, walls and even shelves are made from ice too. You'll want to bring along your coat, because while the temperatures outside are always tropical and inviting, the inside is certainly frosty. Sweden, Stockholm: Absolut-ly Cold The Absolut Ice Bar in Stockholm takes "on the rocks" to a new level. This bar, inspired by the Absolut Vodka brand, is a sight to be seen if you are in Europe. Drinks are served in hollowed out ice cubes over a bar made from solid ice. Walls and tables are made from ice that was harvested from the Torne River (between Finland and Sweden). Every six months this bar goes through a renovation - replacing and re-carving the iced up interior. London: Frosty and Extreme In London? You can experience an extreme ice bar where your glasses, walls, bar and even the tables are carved from some of the clearest ice you will ever see. Another Absolut Ice Bar establishment, this is the only permanent ice bar in the United Kingdom. The interior is kept at -5 degrees Fahrenheit at all times and everything inside is made from crystal clear ice that was harvested out of the frozen Torne River in Northern Sweden. London: An Icy Space London sure likes to keep things chill. Not only do they have a permanent ice bar, but they also have the Ice Space located next to the Tower Bridge in London. This place features an entertainer dressed like an Ice Queen who performs daily. The icy interior is not all made of ice, but does feature ice sculptures, an ice bar, a skating ring and performance art. The attraction boasts over 2,000 blocks of solid ice that weigh more than 200 tons. Tokyo: A Wintry Experience Enjoy a frosty cocktail on a bar made from ice at the Absolut Ice Bar in Tokyo. This is Asia's first ice bar that was made from ice blocks cut out from the infamous Torne River. The entrance fee is rather steep to this chilly locale - about $30 USD. You will get one drink and you will definitely want to wear winter clothes, because it is kept at a chilly below zero temperature at all times. Take a Cruise and Stay Cool Ice bars make their appearances all over, including on cruise ships. NCL Cruise Ships has their own ice bar - one of the first ice bars at sea. This bar is small, but still features ice seats, an icy bar table and unique ice sculptures created by world-class artisans. St. Petersburg Don't be surprised - St. Petersburg, known for their below zero temperatures naturally, also has an ice bar (or two) popping up each year. These ice bars have hand carved ice tables, chairs, and drinks served out of carved ice cups. You can order everything from cocktails to mixers - all served in frosty mugs. Ice bars are literally showing up around the world. The exciting fun experience you get into visiting an ice bar will make for lasting memories in your travel diary. You may even find one in your own state or a country you're traveling to regardless of what time of the year it is.

Inclement weather, medical emergencies or just bad luck - there are plenty of reasons why your flight may be cancelled. But, a flight cancellation could mean you are stranded at an airport waiting around for another flight or worse, you are scrambling from airline desk to airline desk to find someone else to get you home. No matter the reasons why, there are good ways and bad ways to handle those overwhelming flight cancellations.
Always Have Extra in the Budget Flight cancellations happen - and always unexpectedly. You can be better prepared by having a little extra in the travel budget for these situations. Extra funds could help you stay a little longer in a comfortable hotel or even pay the extra cost of switching airlines last minute to get home. If flights are cancelled because of bad weather, you may have a few days where you are stuck in your current location, so pad the budget enough to handle food, accommodations and even a rental car for at a couple days. Decide How Long You're Willing to Wait There are times where getting home is important - or you just cannot deal with another day in your current location. There are ways around flight cancellations, but it might mean traveling to a different location and catching a connecting flight rather than a direct flight back home. For example, your flight from New York to California was cancelled, and you cannot stay in New York another day. Your only option for getting home in one day rather than next week is to fly to Denver, wait overnight, and then fly to California. While it is a hassle, it gets you home when you want to be there. If your flight is cancelled decide how long you are willing to wait or how far you are willing to go to get home. Check Your Flight Status before Going Before you check out of the hotel or even pack your bags that day, check your flight's status online. If it's cancelled, start the hunt for alternate flights right away. Even if there are no flights, keep looking. New flights pop up and sometimes due to connection issues, seats will open up on flights that were already booked full. Always Fly with Airports that Maintain Multiple Airlines Small airports are limited on how many flights they have coming in and out. But, large international airports can cater to over a dozen airlines at once - increasing the chances you will find another airline to take you home even if your flight was cancelled. You Can Go to Another Airport Just because the airport you are at now doesn't have any flights does not mean you are out of luck. Other airports in the area may be able to accommodate you. For example, your flight at Burbank Airport in California was cancelled. But, if you take a cab or shuttle to LAX, you will have a plethora of new airlines and flights to choose from that aren't. Don't be Afraid to Call If your flight is cancelled, call the airline and see what they can do. After all, it wasn't your fault the flight was cancelled. Airlines may be able to find you a connection flight or another flight leaving from a different airport. Also, an airline may be willing to compensate you for an overnight hotel stay, last minute flight change, etc. - especially if the cancellation was not due to poor weather. Book through Travel Agents The money you pay a travel agent helps in these situations. A travel agent has access to hundreds of flights at their fingertips. When your flight is cancelled, give them a call and see what flights they can find. They will be able to continue to look for a flight faster and more efficiently - and even be able to purchase you a ticket on a new flight. Even if they cannot find a flight right away, your travel agent can find a hotel or some form of accommodation so you are not stranded at the airport or sleeping in the lobby. Flight cancellations are never fun and they can be stressful. But, by being prepared with a padded budget, flight information at your fingertips and access to backup plans, you don't have to feel stranded. Even if you are in a foreign country, a flight cancellation can be an easy fix. Just use these quick travel tips and handle your next flight cancellation like a pro.

Australia Day, or "Straya Day" as it's sometimes pronounced by thick-accented Aussies, is the official national day of Australia. Every year on the 26th of January the country celebrates with a public holiday. This year in Melbourne, Monday the 26th of Jan was a bright and sunny Monday. Many people celebrate Australia Day with a good ol' barbie (barbecue) in the back yard with their nearest and dearest, but for those who ventured beyond their garden fences, the popular beachside Melbourne suburb of St Kilda delivered on all accounts.
FESTIVAL FUN Australia Day is about more than just the 26th of January – it's about the long weekend. Sunday the 25th, Australia Day Eve, offered up a great build-up with a Beach Party festival adjacent to St Kilda Beach. Headlining the event was Melbourne DJ duo Nervo, who were joined by KazJames, Finnebassen, Grant Smilie, Generik, Andy Murphy, Winston Wolf, Jesus and Josh Brown. Some of Melbourne's favourite food trucks joined the party, too, serving up international fare to the hungry masses between dances.
Lounge music plays throughout the day, and at night a band often comes on to get the crowd dancing. Fill your belly with some great seafood dishes or tapas while sipping away at a crisp white wine or beer as you watch the sun dip behind the sea. BEACH BUMS
Hitting St Kilda Beach is a great day out regardless of the day, but over the Australia Day weekend the atmosphere gets a serious boost. You'll see families, groups of young people and tourists all loving this sandy beach. It's located just off the main St Kilda strip, too, where you'll find a great selection of quirky coffee shops, froyo stores, hipster bars, restaurants and fashionable shops. You've got everything you need for a fun day at the beach. LUNA PARK Those with kids, or who are kids at heart, piled into Melbourne's iconic beachside theme park, Luna Park. The park operated extended hours, too, in order to keep people entertained for longer (it was open from 11am till 11pm). Both Aussies and travellers enjoyed a bit of adrenaline-pumping fun followed by a snag (Australian slang for a sausage) and snow cone to refuel and refresh.
Luna Park is famous for its entrance – you walk through a giant mouth – and this whimsical entrance sequence is befitting of the carnival vibe that ensues. There are historical carousel rides as well as those that are not exactly for the faint hearted. It might not be the largest theme park going, but it certainly has lots of character and unique flair. With all of these sun loving Australia Day festivities, beach parties, and barbie events, your day is spent commemorating with the natural beauty of my beautiful country. Happy "Straya Day!"
