Phu Lang Ka
Travel Guide
The spectacular Phu Lang Ka is perched on the side of a mountain that looks down into a valley with a couple of limestone outcrops of the same type that grace destinations like Krabi, Vang Vieng and Ha Long Bay. Nowhere else though can you observe them from an elevated position like this.
Dawns bring a valley filled with fluffy mist pierced by the outcrops, and the sole guesthouse here provides a serene and very beautiful spot worth the effort of visiting if you have the time.
The accommodation is basic -- we're being generous -- very basic, but it doesn't matter. The lodgings could be a sheet of tin leaning against a wall and it would still be worth coming here -- the views are just that special.
When we visited, the staff had all manner of trekking ideas -- scribbled on the backs of sheets of paper -- it was all very slap-dash. That said, the setting really is amazing and we'd expect the trekking to be equally so. You'll just need to expect a pretty rough and ready trekking experience.
Very little English is spoken, but the food, and the good humour, more than compensated.
If you're looking to really get off the beaten track, you're in the right locale.
Phu Lang Ka is located around 33 km from Chiang Kham, just before the village of Ban Pang Ma O, on the way to Song Khwae and Tha Wang Pha on Route 1148.

ROCKFORD — It'll soon be easier to get to downtown Chicago by bus but more time-consuming to get to Chicago Midway International Airport. Still, judging by ridership numbers, more people will be happy with the changes than not.
ROCKFORD — It'll soon be easier to get to downtown Chicago by bus but more time-consuming to get to Chicago Midway International Airport.
Still, judging by ridership numbers, more people will be happy with the changes than not.
Van Galder Bus Co. is boosting its downtown Chicago route Jan. 18, adding three daily trips. But it's also ending direct service to Midway that day, and instead will add Midway as a stop after downtown Chicago. Service to Chicago O'Hare International Airport, the company's most popular route, will not be changed.
What that means for Midway customers is three more buses a day to the airport, but an extra 20 to 30 minutes on their trip. Demand for getting to Midway has been hurt by the growth of low-cost airlines at Milwaukee's General Mitchell International Airport, bus company President Steve Van Galder said.
"There's not enough traffic going to Midway to support the route. By tagging it onto downtown, it doesn't look like we're pulling the pin on the Midway operation," he said.
Van Galder hopes to draw people looking to avoid driving and expensive parking meters in their trips to Chicago.
"We are just getting a lot of downtown traffic. It's been growing pretty good," Van Galder said.
The downtown stop is at Union Station at Canal Street and Jackson Boulevard. Van Galder is eliminating a second request-only stop at Superior and Rush streets on Jan. 18.
Van Galder also has started using a couple of new double-decker buses on some routes. The buses carry more people, but more importantly, have drawn interest from riders because they're different from the company's traditional vehicles, Van Galder said.
One change that didn't get made was moving Van Galder's stop at the Clock Tower Resort & Conference Center in Rockford. At Van Galder's request, the resort kept the stop at the front entrance.
Clock Tower General Manager Dwight Hopfauf said they made other changes — adding lighting, changing signs and moving overnight parking — that addressed his safety concerns.
"Steve was worried that moving it would cause him to lose passengers," Hopfauf said. "I didn't want that for him because that's not good for him or for us."
Janesville, Wis.-based Van Galder serves the Interstate 90 corridor between Madison and Chicago.
Besides the downtown/Midway route, Van Galder has 17 daily buses between Rockford and O'Hare and several buses that connect Rockford to South Beloit, Janesville and Madison, Wis.
While downtown Chicago traffic is up, overall Van Galder service is down 12 percent from last year.

Hi there,
It would be great if all the links (a-tags) within the page navi (div with class "wp-pagenavi") contained a title attribute, e.g. saying "page 1" or "page 3" etc.
Maybe there could also be an option to (de)activate it - for those who (don't) like titles. ;)
Thanks and best regards from Germany, Chris ;)

The bright lights of television and a five-set match against quality competition had Blue Springs primed and ready Tuesday night.
The Wildcats downed a tough St. Thomas Aquinas team 3-2 (27-25, 21-25, 22-25, 25-15, 17-15) in front of a television audience and a packed house in the six-team Metro Sports Volleyball Slam at St. James Academy in Lenexa, Kan.
Taryn Miller led Blue Springs with 17 kills and 19 digs and Holly Tarvin added 12 kills and 3 block as the Wildcats improved to 14-7.
The Wildcats came into the contest ranked No. 5 in Missouri Class 4 and St. Thomas was ranked No. 2 in Kansas Class 5A.
"It was a really great experience for the kids to play in that environment," Blue Springs head coach Katie Grusing said. "St. James did a nice job putting this on. It's neat for the kids to get to watch themselves on T.V.
"I think it was just a really good test for us (against St. Thomas Aquinas). It was a good measuring stick for us."
BELTON 28-22-25, FORT OSAGE 26-25-18: The Indians got 13 kills from Elaine McAlister, 9 kills from Setoa Talimatasi and 10 blocks from freshman Asia Cole, but it wasn't enough to knock off Belton in a Suburban Middle Seven game at Fort Osage.
"We played really well," Fort Osage head coach Sean Barrett said after his team fell to 5-15-2 overall and 1-7 in conference play. "We made some mistakes but we stayed consistent with our serve and with our blocks. Belton is a great team.
"It was a moral victory and we'll take it, but we'd love to have the win."

Katie Douglas had eight kills, Haylee Gregory six kills, Aubree Freeman five kills, and three blocks, Anne Hunter four kills and three ace serves, Kaitlyn Drawe 14 assists and three kills and Kylie Rice 13 assists and two kills.
"It was a pretty solid match," said coach Mark Rice of West (19-3 and 7-0). Alex Katzfey was great in serve receive."

Construction on Alachua Welcome Center to start
- Details
- Published on Sunday, 19 August 2012 23:34
- Written by DANIEL ELSESSER
- Hits: 1422
According to Chapman, the city hired BDI Construction to renovate the building over two years ago but could not get building permits authorized by the Alachua Chamber of Commerce.
City of Alachua Mayor Gib Coerper said BDI's current price is $80,000 for the entire job, which he said the city hopes to negotiate down to around $50,000.
"We're not happy with the prices we've got from the construction company," Chapman said. "We're going to try to negotiate those down. After that we'll get our permits and we should be able to start working."
According to Chapman, the city will pay the construction firm and be reimbursed by the Alachua County Tourist Development Council.
Coerper said members of the Alachua Chamber of Commerce met Wednesday, Aug. 15 in order to set a more concrete construction start time.
Chapman said the city has received free architectural and electrical planning work from local professionals, and she said once these plans and the building permits are prepared construction should start.
Coerper noted that he hopes more local businesses will offer in-kind donations in order to help the city construct the welcome center more efficiently.
"We're looking for help from businesses," Coerper said. "We may need a few donations to help upgrade to welcome center affordably. It all helps."
"I think we'll be able to start building in two weeks," Chapman said. "We're waiting for an electrical overlay plan," referring to free electric planning donated by Leon Burgess.
"Once we have the electrical overlay and we have the permits, we should be able to start construction."

High Springs sells golf cart
- Details
- Published on Monday, 09 July 2012 19:57
- Written by AMANDA WILLIAMSON
- Hits: 1301
After being listed as surplus equipment, the golf cart was advertised on Craigslist and placed in front of the High Springs Fire Department with a "For Sale" sign. The City received three offers, but eventually the cart sold to Cindy Brady, a teacher at Alachua Elementary and the wife of City of Alachua employee Hal Brady. Brady bought the golf cart for the same price High Springs paid for it.
Hal Brady said he knew High Springs was currently suffering through a rough financial period and hoped to help. The cart will be used by the Brady family and by the City of Alachua for recreational events, such as Babe Ruth Softball tournaments. During the events, the cart can be used to transport seniors and concession workers.
On May 10, High Springs Commissioner Sue Weller placed an item on the agenda requesting discussion about the golf cart, which was purchased by the City under direction of Vice-Mayor Bob Barnas. According to Barnas, the golf cart was purchased for use at Poe Springs Park, at a time when the City was negotiating with the County to assume management and day-to-day operations of the park. On March 20, the day before the cart was purchased, the City opted to cease expenditure on the park because of construction delays and a cancelled deal with the County.
The golf cart was purchased from an individual for $1,700, which was $200 over the amount budgeted by the City.
"This is not about the golf cart itself," Weller said on May 10. "This is about making a purchase knowing that we would probably not be going forward with Poe Springs."
Commissioner Scott Jamison made the motion to sell the cart, and Weller seconded. The motion passed three to two, with Barnas and Mayor Dean Davis voting against it.
"We are pinching every penny we could possibly find, but we are going to buy a $1,700 golf cart," Commissioner Scott Jamison said during the May 10 meeting. "That's a toy."

Old age is forcing Bob Siegel to hang up his block knife and spoon auger, two antique tools that create the iconic Dutch wooden shoes.
Before this summer, Siegel has spent more than 40 years carving klompen, or wooden shoes, at festivals, museums and theme parks across the nation.
But now, he's slowing down.
"It's as they say. When you're 90 years old, you just don't have the energy," said the Mequon, Wis., man. "I don't have that much endurance anymore."
At one time, he was the only shoe carver in the U.S. However, before he unofficially retired, he made certain to find a protege, Luke Traver of Oostburg, to learn the time-consuming and labor-intensive process.
It's not a very lucrative trade, but it's something that Siegel loves.
"I wanted to keep the craft alive," Siegel said. "That was the whole reason behind it. I think it's important for everybody just to know the way things were done years ago."
Siegel said it was his enthusiasm for collecting antique woodworking tools that prompted him to try out the dying craft. He traveled to the Netherlands for the first time in 1975, and twice after that to hone his skills and learn from 14 of the best carvers.
A century ago, more than 4,000 men made a living hand-carving wooden shoes in the Netherlands, Siegel said. When he traveled there in 1975, only 57 were left. Now there are just three, he said.
Siegel hoped the craft would catch on in the U.S. For decades, he looked for an apprentice.
"I had 14 people from all over the country at various times from as far away as Boston or California come to learn how to carve wooden shoes," he said. "After two days of lessons, I didn't hear anything from any of them. That means they found it to be too hard."
To create klompen, Siegel goes to a sawmill off Interstate 43 to buy aspen, a moist wood that is prime for carving.
To carve, he uses a block knife, a tool with a 20-inch blade made specially for carving wooden shoes. One end of the block knife is attached to the work bench and the other end swivels, allowing for rhythmic shaves of the wood.
The inside of the shoe is then hollowed out with another specialized tool called a spoon auger.
On average, Siegel can make three or four pairs of shoes in a day. Most of the wooden shoes available today are factory-produced.
Siegel said he was pleased to find someone who would carry on the tradition. He met Traver, 31, about eight years ago at a shoemaking demonstration at Old World Wisconsin near Eagle in Waukesha County.
Traver was in college at the time and volunteering at the event. After watching Siegel for most of the day, Traver approached him and soon after began to learn the craft.
"I always liked to whittle, so I used to make walking sticks and canes just for giggles," Traver said. "This just kind of worked into the woodworking and old world, actual hands-on stuff that I like to do."
About three years ago, Traver finished his one-year apprenticeship with Siegel that was supported by a grant from the Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the State and the National Endowment for the Arts.
Siegel still works to book events for Traver. Until this summer, Siegel would accompany Traver to summer festivals and shows, but only to sit and burn decorations or names into the miniature shoes they sell.
Now, even that is too much for him.
He's sad to give it up, but said he has confidence in his pupil.
"He's been doing a wonderful job ... very personable and does a very nice job," Siegel said.
Traver is itching to be able to carve a pair of wooden shoes for himself. He thinks that in three years he'll be able to accomplish that task with Siegel's continued training.
"He's progressing me a little bit," Traver said. "I'm still only working on the smaller ones. He tells me anything larger and I'm wasting wood."
Traver said he has a long way to go before he's as skilled as his teacher but is rewarded to see progress.
"I've seen shoes that I've made in the past that went to a fire," he said. "I have shoes now that are laying about that it's like, 'Oh yeah, those look like actual shoes that an infant could wear.'"
It's enough to keep him carving for years to come, Traver said.
Siegel's just happy there's someone willing to try.
"I'm satisfied," Siegel said. "That was one of the main things I wanted to do was keep the craft alive."

Hi ladies,
I am about 6 weeks pregnant and just had blood work done. I'm still waiting for the RT3 results that should be in hopefully by tomorrow. I'm not currently on any thyroid medication but have been taking high levels of iodine, selenium, B complex, vit D, prenatals, and natural adrenal support since a ND I was working with diagnosed my with adrenal fatigue (not hypo thought)
Here are my latest reults taken a few days ago:
T3 Free 2.7 2.3- 4.2
T3 Total 63L 76-181
T3 Uptake 36H 22-35%
T4 Total 7.1 4.5-12.0
Free T4 2.6 1.4-3.8
TSH 2.95 1st Trimester range 0.26-2.66
Vit D 79 30-100
Ferritin 56 10-232
Cortisol A.M (blood not salivva) 22.3 8.70-22.40
The blood work I had done previous to this one was at the end of March when I was last pregnant and a couple of days before I had a M/C.
T3 TOTAL 0.88 0.60-1.81ng/mL Final
FERRITIN 44.7 10-291ng/mL Final
We moved out of state 3 months ago and I was waiting for our new insurance to kick in so I could get blood work done. The plan was to get my thyroid and adrenal levels under control and then work on getting pregnant but here we are.
The doctor that did this current blood work is a family doctor that I was able to get an appt with quickly after I got a pos pregnancy test. He's been useless though since I specifically asked him to test all the 3s and instead he ordered a Thyroid Panel with TSH. After meeting with him a second time and reviewing my results he said everything looked good and I didn't need meds. (that was with the TSH and 4s only) I asked him again to run everything and since receiving the FT3 and TT3 he now wants to write me a prescription for Synthroid (although I spcifically asked for Nature-Throid or Armour). So now we wait for the RT3 and again I asked for natural meds.
I am going to see a new OB/GYN tomorrow and will take all my labs with me. In the mean time plese help me make sense of this. Should I start taking meds today? Should I wait until meeting with the OB? Should I wait to get the RT3 results (I know those are important).
Also here is a little more background from my last post http://community.babycenter.com/post/a42977365/reverse_t3_off_the_charts
I'm sorry this is lengthy but wanted to give you as much info as possible.
Thank you in advance for your help with this. I really do appreciate your help and wisdom.

Taste and morals are so subjective BUT I believe we have a preconception of how are pictures will be received. Unless we live in the boondocks we are aware of what is provocative and what is not. The question is not "does it really matter" but whether "will it matter to ONE person". In any case, I thought the picture was Dali-esque and fun.

- would like to point out that there's "a chat on the homepage". We know, aren't interested and have already had our fun with those lot.
- are thinking about posting a link and then leaving. Not even one of us is ever going to click on it.
- want us to spread the word about Paramore coming to your country. Honestly? Couldn't possibly care less whether they're in your country or not.

That Kate Bush music video "Tahoe" made me think of this one by Storm Corrosion (Opeth's Mikael Akerfeldt and Porcupine Tree's Steven Wilson).

Blimey frak, I really gotta get replyin' faster and try to come up with things to talk about.
Anyhow, I'm kinda excited, 'cause tomorrow's the start of my semester, and I get to see Sarah again! I just hope things go well.
Oh, and I think I remember @Nikki and @May saying something about watching Supernatural, so; How's the watching going? What do you guys think of the series? :D
Oh, and I'm also thinking of re-writing The Paladin's Apprentice, changing some major details and mechanics of the story's universe, so yeah.
Hopefully it'll all be for the better, and once the re-writes are finished (plot line's gonna change a bit so already-written Episodes will change in plot. I'll be postin' em on my Tumblr and announcin' it here, too, so for those interested keep your eyes peeled), that the results are better than before :D
I'm kinda hoping she does make the first move, but who knows? I'll see how the situation goes.
But, if she doesn't make the first move after the first two weeks, I'll probably make the first move - two weeks just to help her get used to me.
That is, of course, if we're not possibly paired up for the first assignment or anything. Not knowing what's gonna happen next has a bit of excitement attached to it - I've really missed her.
Oh, and about 3 days after my last comment and a few days before yours, Sarah actually messaged me on Facebook.
I am embarrased to admit (but I'm gonna admit it anyway 'cause I'm a honey badger and I don't give a sh-*ERRRRRP*) that the moment I saw the message, I squealed. Yes, you heard right, squealed. That's all you're (or anyone for that matter) are getting from me, though :D
Really, she means that much to me. Anyhow, so it seems like it's good news so far - it seems like she was just checking up on me and how I'm doing, so yeah.
I know I said it already, but I'm excited for tomorrow :D

@Em That's excellent, and I hope your folks go with you to lots more concerts.
@Dick, did you know that Kate Bush just won a prestigious award for last year's album, which is 30 years after her first album?

@Dick that is really great elevator music and I love the passengers' reactions in the video. That one girl doesn't seem anxious to board at all.
That's a really old song, BTW. It came out when I was in grade school, and was an anthem for the fictional cartoon band "The Archies" and the emblem for the much disparaged "bubblegum" music genre. To heard them play it acoustic, though, you realize it's a fun song and is pretty listenable.
P.S. I just found this troubling tidbit on Wikipedia: "Former President George W. Bush has said "Sugar, Sugar" is one of his favorite songs. The song played in Jenna Bush's wedding party in May 2008." OMG

@Dick I am still recovering from the Lou Reed/Metallica collaboration album from last year.
I am putting Kathi McDonald on my watch list.
Yes, Walk On The Wild Side and maybe this Long John Baldry classic.
Did you know Metric did a song with Lou Reed on their soon to be released album?
also While doing some DD on Long John I came up with a female singer by the name, Kathi McDonald. What an impressive resume she has.
@Dick I like that song quite
@Dick I like that song quite a lot, but somehow the video reminds me of that Lou Reed song about Miami F-L-A. Not sure why.

@Martin I have to dye it again, the brown roots are starting to pop up. My natural color is dark brown, so I think that's why the black seems darker in me than other people with light brown hair or other colors. If you pay attention to my profile picture, you'll see my hair is brown in the sun light :DD
@Em I always get there early
@Em I always get there early and go right to the front of the stage if I can. That is why most of my videos are looking up the nostrils of the artists. (http://youtu.be/3UgivJM1Hwk?t=4m41s ) But, next to the sound booth is a good second choice.
@Eevie I am not sure if I follow that tumblr feed, but Pauline is pretty nice, smart and got Hayley to look at @Nikki's "3 albums" artwork, so she is just fine in my book. I am sure they're no more fanatical than I was about Gary Puckett And The Union Gap or The Cowsills.
@Eevie Enjoy Blink! We get AVA this summer, but no Blink (yet).
@May I cannot believe how incredibly black your hair is. Very impressive.
@Dick It's as if Metric are avoiding California on purpose!! And who the heck ever heard of Bend, Oregon?!?!? I suppose we may have to go to Las Vegas or LA to see them.
We are listening to these girls at our house right now. So good: http://youtu.be/sQU9r12N0Jo
@Eevie You're not the only
@Eevie You're not the only one :)
@Em Remember when we were talking about making friends on concerts? You may make friends there :')
@Dick It's unbelievable your hability of saying things and then this thing pops up on my life. I read your comment and a few minutes later a friend of mine told me to hear this band named Metric and their new song "Youth without youth". You're a wizard, buh.
@Nikki and Martin
@Nikki and Martin
Hahaha okay :')
I'll still probably try to get there early because I'm paranoid.
Haha alright, gonna keep that in mind :D

Police: Man crashes into apartment building
Published: Friday, February 11, 2011 at 9:58 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 11, 2011 at 9:58 a.m.
HOUMA — The officer dispatched to investigate a "hit and run" complaint on Euclid Street early Thursday soon reported finding evidence. First the front bumper, then a piece of fender, then the rest of the car and a damaged dumpster.
The officer, a Terrebonne sheriff's deputy, said it appeared the driver had lost control, run into a dumpster pushing it into the side of an apartment building.
He soon located the suspected driver, Joshua Lewis, 25, 4804 N. Bayou Black Drive, Gibson, in a nearby residence.
Lewis reportedly admitted driving the car and crashing it into the apartment building. He said he left the scene because he was scared.
Lewis was jailed on charges of driving under suspension, reckless operation and hit and run. He is being held at the Terrebonne Parish jail in lieu of a $1,500 bond.
No further damages or injuries were reported.

We didn't work on form or anything which is why we kinda suck. I don't normally ride Dressage hence the close contact saddle and green show coat :3
He's not actually downhill, although the angle of the photo makes him look as though he is very much so in this particular shot.
Our scores were I believe a 61% and a 62.5%. Took 4th both times.

The Bureau of Communication - Fill-in-the-blank Correspondence. Conversation Etiquette: 5 Dos and Don'ts. I think we've all encountered men who have a knack for good conversation.
They can talk to anybody about anything in a laid-back, casual manner that sets people immediately at ease. A complete stranger can walk away from these conversational maestros feeling like he's known known them for years. It's easy to think that the art of conversation is a skill that the gods bestow on a happy few, while cursing most men with turbid tongues. While it's true that some men simply have a greater portion of innate natural charm, the art of conversation is a skill in which all men can become competent. You may never have a silver-tongue, but you can learn to converse in ways that make you a valued party guest, set you apart at company functions, impress the ladies, and win you new friends. 5 Do's of Conversation Listen more than you talk. Come to an occasion armed with topics at the ready. Tailor the conversation to the listener.
Take your turn. Think before you speak. Conversational Narcissism: How to Avoid It. Last month I met up with an old friend I hadn't seen in forever to have lunch.
Having both read and written about how to be an effective and charismatic conversationalist, I followed the old dictum of listening more than talking and asking the other person engaging questions about themselves. This is supposed to charm your conversation partner. I guess it worked because my friend talked about himself for an hour straight and didn't ask me a single question. When we've talked about the ins and outs of making good conversation before, someone inevitably asks, "But what if both people keep trading questions back and forth?" Well, that's a pretty good problem to have, but I've yet to see it happen. In a time where a lot of the old social supports people relied upon have disappeared, people have become starved for attention. Narcissistic personality disorder. Symptoms[edit] Some people diagnosed with a narcissistic personality disorder are characterized by exaggerated feelings of self-importance.
They have a sense of entitlement and demonstrate grandiosity in their beliefs and behavior. They have a strong need for admiration, but lack feelings of empathy.[4] Symptoms of this disorder, as defined by the DSM-IV-TR, include:[1] Expects to be recognized as superior and special, without superior accomplishmentsExpects constant attention, admiration and positive reinforcement from othersEnvies others and believes others envy him/herIs preoccupied with thoughts and fantasies of great success, enormous attractiveness, power, intelligenceLacks the ability to empathize with the feelings or desires of othersIs arrogant in attitudes and behaviorHas expectations of special treatment that are unrealistic Another narcissist symptom is a lack of empathy.
Eating disorders[edit] Professional attainment[edit] False Self. What is the false self?
The simple answer is it's whatever the Narcissist wants it to be. In essence whatever mask they can use to hide the insecure and damaged part of themselves to obtain the narcissistic supplies they need to support an inflated view of themselves. The more complex answer is that the false Self is a protection mechanism against attack from the outside world. The Narcissist may suspect that something is wrong in their make up but they choose not to investigate the source of their insecurities and fears, they deny their feelings because it would mean they are not perfect. They don't want others to see their defects because if they are pointed out it casts doubt on the grandiose image they have of themselves. What does the false self look like in action? Narcissistic people will do whatever they can to ensure people see them as they see themselves i.e. special.
The Narcissist doesn't have the emotional reserves to pull off this façade indefinitely - it is hard work. Basics of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) Why do people suffer with NPD?
There are 2 main areas of concentration when looking at the root cause for NPD, these are Social Conditioning and Parenting. Social Conditioning The modern media (through film, magazines, newspapers, television programmes etc.) bombards us with information on how we should aspire to achieve bigger and greater things in a world where celebrity status is viewed as ideal. People are encouraged to expect special treatment with little regard for the old values of community and helping their fellow man. It's no longer considered selfish to consistently get something for nothing and always be on the "look out for number one". Over emphasis is placed on physical fitness to promote sexual relationships and self-esteem as opposed to being fit for their medical health. Determination, single-mindedness, wealth, status, influence, sexual prowess, these are the qualities that dominate the mass media today. Parenting When does narcissism develop?

3 oz. Turquoise Travel Candle
designer's notes
Turquoise: (Birthstone for December) Named after that vivid blue-green stone favored as an ornament across continents throughout the ages, Turquoise is an effervescent scent that stirs the spirit with oceanic beauty. Its youthful, enlivening top note accord of blue chamomile, grapefruit, cassis and ozone elements glistens like fragrant, sun-kissed sea spray. Turquoise's base note accord of watery, flower-infused musk melds with Mysore sandalwood for a dry down of freshly subtle depth. Certain Native American tribes revere Turquoise for its healing properties, which arguably are shared by the timeless, deep blue seas of the world that also inspired this fragrance fit for a mermaid.Our 3-oz-travel-candle are formulated WITHOUT any:A smaller version of our 8 oz. fragrance candle.

Blogging This Week...
2008-08-17 by Tom Steagald
Greetings, friends. I will be blogging again this week.
Though I am a rather frequent contributor to this site, and have served as guest blogger once before, David Howell asked me to introduce myself again.
I am a United Methodist pastor serving a small town's First UMC. I am a graduate of Belmont University (Belmont College when I attended, and home of this year's second presidential debate), Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (in the good ol' days before he take-over) and the Candler School of Theology, Emory University (D.Min.) I have written two books (one of which is advertised on this site) and a third is due from Upper Room in 2011. I have contributed sermons, reviews and essays to such periodicals as Lectionary Homiletics, Journal of Biblical Preaching, The Christian Century, United Methodist Reporter and the Circuit Rider. I am a frequent contributor to the The Abingdon Preacher's Annual and I have written 12 entries for Feasting on the Word.
I am sometimes professor of preaching and worship at the Hood Theological Seminary (AME Zion)--a real learning experience for an aging, white United Methodist!--and comment pretty regularly on Theolog.org.
I hope we can discuss the texts this week. Look for my first entries on Monday afternoon.
Ro; "Lectionary Homiletics" Highlights
2008-08-15 by David von Schlichten
Thank you to guest blogger Ro Ruffin for diving into the tub. Scroll down to read her Olympian thoughts on this puzzling, controversial text from Matthew 15. She does a splendid job of exploring the idea of Jesus as bigot – a shocking notion indeed. Scroll down to swim around in Ro's rejuvenating writing.
Below are highlights from some of the articles for this week in Lectionary Homiletics.
Among several other points, Osvaldo D. Vena directs us to Matthew 14 and Peter's little faith, which contrasts with the Canaanite woman's great faith.
"Scripture and Screen"
Dan Dick writes about the movie Liar, Liar, which tells of an inveterate liar who suddenly is unable to lie. Clearly the movie stresses the value of pure honesty over lying and over telling the truth because you have to and not because you do so freely.
The movie connects with the pericope in its emphasis on honesty. The Canaanite woman, likewise, is honest, speaks from the heart.
"Preaching the Lesson"
Speaking of honest, bold women, Anna Carter Florence makes several gold-medal points in her article. One is the idea that the woman functions as a prophet in that she pushes Jesus and all of us to acknowledge the truth and so to act the way God calls us to act.
My sermon will soon appear at the cafe.
Wishing I were Shawn Johnson, I am

Going to the Dogs
2008-08-10 by Ro Ruffin
Matt 15:21-28
Is Jesus a bigot? Such an idea is inconceivable, yet that is the question forced by this passage. The Mercer Commentary on the Bible (Macon, 1995), suggests that the author of Matthew is showing how Jesus is "learning from a woman of an inappropriate ethnicity (961)." Honesty demands that the negative tone of Jesus' remarks be taken seriously. There is a history among Jews (and their surrounding ancient neighbors) of the low estate of the dog. Proverbs 26:11 (also referred to in 2 Peter 2:22[1]) tells us that the person who returns to her foolish ways is like a dog returning to its vomit. Ecclesiastes 9:4 sardonically compares the preference for a living dog over a dead lion. And Jesus himself has previously warned his hearers that they should "not give what is holy to dogs (Matt 7:6)."
To call people dogs is a huge insult. We can rationalize it all we want, but the fact remains that Matthew depicts Jesus as denigrating Gentiles. I have been wondering if we don't spend too much time tip-toeing around the Gospel portrayals of Jesus. Cannot Jesus handle a bit of searing questioning?
Chapter 15 begins with the controversy over unwashed hands. Jesus accuses the Pharisees of demanding a piety from the people that is based on their own ideas, while they are themselves unwilling to follow the law that was passed down to them. Jesus then explains to Peter and the others that one is defiled by the evils that spew from the heart, like so much vomit, rather than by what, or how, one eats. It is here that we have our connection to the dog. Instead of heeding God's laws, the Pharisees have returned to their own vomit, and now expect others to partake of that vomit. This leads people away from God, rather than restoring them to right relationship with God and each other, which is what Jesus is all about. This brings us to Jesus' treatment of the "Canaanite" woman.
It is a given that in every way, this woman is an outsider, a dog. But suppose this passage wasn't meant to be about Jesus' treatment of the woman per se. After-all, our writer must not have seen anything amiss or he would have written the account differently. If we ask ourselves what his readers, or hearers, would have thought about the words and actions of Jesus, we may remember that to the Jews of that time, all non-Jews were outsiders and all women were non-men. Calling Gentiles dogs was the norm. If it is normal, or ordinary, to call outsiders 'dogs' and to turn them away without helping them, what is Matthew's purpose? It seems to me that Matthew is depicting the ordinary turned extraordinary. If Matthew's community sees itself as learning God's ways along with Jesus, then Jesus' behavior becomes an "everyman" lesson, and the outcome of the lesson is a changed heart. Look, says Jesus, this is something important about God. Come. Follow me! The change is so all-encompassing that when Jesus leaves the woman, he spends several days among other Gentiles and feeds them all, from just a few loaves and fishes, like scraps from the table.
Now let's strip the story down to what the passage actually says. Jesus moves out of Jewish territory into Gentile territory. The woman pleads with Jesus for her daughter's life. Jesus ignores her pleas. The woman persists.[2] Jesus gives her what she expects (not necessarily what she deserves, but what she expects). What should Christians today make of this? Most, or all, Christians understand Jesus to be the all-compassionate Son of God. They are unlikely, then, to hear rancor in Jesus' words. While they understand that the Jews have a covenant with God, they would expect Jesus, according to the new covenant, to give to every person according to his need. Perhaps they would see this passage as akin to the eschatological wedding feast where they have been drawn to the banquet when those invited didn't come.
What about the first century Jewish Christians of Matthew's community? Might they have taken this passage as a warning? The Pharisees, they were just previously told, were going in the wrong direction…one of their own making. Would Matthew's community be left out of the festivities if they did not heed Jesus? Would they become self-righteous, forgetting that God has been gracious to them? Would they become stingy, barely even giving to the needy the scraps beneath the table? Would such behavior constitute a return to one's own vomit?
The church today would do well to take heed of such warnings. How do we treat our neighbors? Does one spew gossip from the heart? Or, do you speak words of encouragement? Does one give with a tight fist, forcing the needy to tug until one finally relinquishes one's time, talent, or resources, or do you give freely, with a wide-open hand? Does one look suspiciously at newcomers, demanding their histories before one will accept them as part of the community, or do you welcome the lost, frightened, and the lonely sinner as you would your own child?
All of us must eat. Will we choose to eat from the Lord's table, glad to have even the scraps which go to the dogs, or will we return to our own vomit?
[2] Rabbinical commentary (Samuel T. Lachs, A Rabbinic Commentary on the New Testament, 1987.) suggests that the disciples, far from asking Jesus to send the woman away, were actually asking him to send the demon away from the daughter. Otherwise, Lachs says, Jesus' response to their saying, 'get rid of her', which was "I was sent to the lost sheep of Israel," is a non-sequitur. But this takes a slight emendation of the Greek auten to auton (send "it", not "her", away).
Deb Mechler and "Lectionary Homiletics" Highlights
2008-08-07 by David von Schlichten
Thank you to guest blogger Deb Mechler for splashing in the tub. Scroll down to read her invigorating thoughts on Peter, Elijah, and Fred Buechner regarding faith.
Below are highlights from some of the articles for this week in Lectionary Homiletics.
"Theological Themes"
Lewis A. Parks suggests that most of us readers of Matthew 14:22-33 understand it either from a pre-historical critical perspective or a post-historical critical perspective. The former believes the story happened literally as reported, while the latter assumes that some other story has led to the formation of this miraculous one. Parks avers correctly that most of us seminary-educated preachers " [ . . . ] think a post-historical criticism version of the story of Jesus walking on the water but preach a pre-historical criticism version" (p. 18).
With guidance from the writings of Larry Hurtado, Parks offers an alternative, seeing the story as itself an "ecstatic act of worship" in which people are responding to Christ by "[drawing] implications and [taking] the story to new places" (Ibid.). Parks concludes with a example of what this understanding might sound like in a sermon.
"Pastoral Implications"
Carol J. Cook draws from C.S. Lewis's Prince Caspian, in which, many centuries after the events in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy return to Narnia to find it greatly changed. The four get lost in the woods, but then Lucy sees Aslan. Initially she is the only one who can see him. The four children have the challenge of following Aslan, even though only one of them can see him. Eventually, all four can.
"A Sermon"
Sharyl B. Peterson's sermon "Seeking Sanctuary" presents advice on how one can find sanctuary, just as Jesus finds it by going off by himself to pray. She offers three requirements for achieving this goal: solitude (a cessation of human interaction), silence (a cessation of noise), and stopping what we are doing (p. 24).
There is a walking path near my home with a bench along it. That's a sanctuary for me, thanks be to the Holy Spirit.
My sermon will focus on 1 Kings 19:9-18, which tells of Elijah in the cave on Mount Sinai. I will paint the scene for people poedifyingly so they can identify intimately with Elijah and then hear the call and reassurance that they are not alone and that God will help them. I am going with Elijah instead of the gospel because the former is not as well known, but I will also allude to the walking-on-water story. My focus will not be on criticizing Peter for having doubt. I'm too much like Peter to do that faithfully.
Yours in Christ,
David von Schlichten, Lectionary Blog Moderator
Elijah and Peter Get Along Well
2008-08-04 by Deb Mechler
The inclusion of 1 Kings 19:9-18 in the lectionary I follow (RCL) is fitting. Both Elijah and Peter seem to be grandstanding in front of other people. Happy to be recognized as players in the demonstration of God's power.
But doubt and fear plague them as deeply as their displays of faith take them soaring. In both instances, it is not the power or identity of God that ultimately restores them. They have just come from unmistakable demonstrations of divine power. It is God's presence with them that restores their faith. God's presence and love are revealed to Elijah in the silence. God is patient with his whining, listening to the prophet's complaints and reassuring him that he is recognized and loved. Elijah is motivated to return, with faith, to the chaotic and frightening situation to which he was called in the first place.
The image that gives me hope in Matthew 14:22-33 is that of Jesus' hand pulling Peter out of the water. Then Jesus gets into the boat with him and the rest of the disciples. It is his presence that brings calm and inspires worship. The fear of chaos is pushed back, as with Elijah, by divine presence and love. Jesus is patient, and reveals himself to them in spite of Peter's reckless behavior.

Quick Take
While the slowdown in the PC market has impacted many of its
competitors such as Intel (
) and AMD (
), we believe Nvidia's (
) growing focus and success in the mobile computing space has
cushioned the negative impact of lower PC shipments on the
company's growth rate. Non-PC revenue currently accounts for
approximately 30% of Nvidia's overall revenue, compared to 7% three
years ago. (Read Our Q4 2012 Earnings Article:
Nvidia's Dominance In GPUs And Higher Tegra Sales
Lift Outlook
Nvidia did well with its standalone dual-core app
processor, Tegra 2, to capture significant non-iPad tablet
market share in 2011. The launch of Tegra 3, the world's first
quad-core processor, is what gave the company's mobile computing
plan a significant push, by scoring high profile design wins in
However, tablets remain the most important driver for
Nvidia's success in mobile computing and its progress in the
smartphone market remains more or less stable. We believe that the
introduction of its next generation Tegra 4 processor and the Tegra
4i, which features built in 3G and 4G/LTE communication
technologies, will help Nvidia make a deeper foray in the
smartphone market.
4G/LTE is the future of wireless connectivity for mobile
devices, especially smartphones. The LTE integrated chipset
better equips Nvidia to challenge Qualcomm's (
) growing dominance in smartphones.
See our complete analysis for Nvidia
Tegra 4 Family To Help Expand Nvidia's Mobile
Nvidia's Tegra 4 family includes Tegra 4, which the company
claims to be the fastest mobile processor, and Tegra 4i, its first
fully integrated 4G LTE processor.
Tegra 4 -
Nvidia launched Tegra 4 at the 2013 Consumer Electronic Show
in January. Tegra 4 is the world's first quad-core processor
based on Cortex A15, ARM's most advanced CPU core. The chip
delivers a more realistic gaming experience, new camera
capabilities through computational photography, faster web
browsing and higher resolution displays. With an optional
chipset, Tegra 4 also offers worldwide 4G LTE voice and data
support. In addition, Nvidia claims that Tegra 4 consumes 45%
less power than the Tegra 3 processor. Tegra 4 chips will
target new tablets and high-end smartphones designs.
In its Q4 2012 earnings call, Nvidia highlighted that it
has already scored more design wins for Tegra 4 compared to the
total design wins for Tegra 3. In addition to mobile devices,
Tegra 4 is gaining popularity for use in embedded devices such as
cars and gaming devices.
Tegra 4i -
Nvidia introduced its first fully integrated 4G LTE mobile
processor on February 19 and also showcased its
reference smartphone platform, code-named Phoenix, running on
the Tegra 4i processor. According to the company, Tegra 4i is the
highest performance CPU core and is only half the size of its
nearest competitor, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 800. Tegra 4 is a single
integrated processor that offers solid computing power, a longer
battery life and powers all major functions of a
smartphone. Tegra 4i focuses on bringing the super phone
experience to the more affordable mobile market.
4G/LTE is the future of wireless connectivity for mobile
devices, especially smartphones, and a dominance in the
production of LTE chips has enabled Qualcomm to lead the
smartphone market so far. We believe that Nvidia's upcoming
Tegra LTE chipset integrated into Tegra processors will
help the company increase its penetration in the smartphone market.
Additionally, the upgraded Tegra processors could help it score
additional design wins, as manufacturers continue to roll out new
tablets designs in the coming year.
Nvidia's Tegra revenues increased from $591 million in 2011 to
$765 in 2012, and we expect the figure to reach $2 billion by the
end of 2019.
Potential Threat From Qualcomm's New
Dominating the production of LTE chipsets,
Qualcomm continues to lead the smartphone market. The LTE
leadership has allowed Qualcomm to command majority of the
smartphone market so far. It came out with its own quad-core
chipsets, which reduces Nvidia's advantage of offering the
world's first quad-core processor. While Nvidia expected to
ship around 30 million Tegra processors in 2012, Qualcomm shipped
141 million chipsets in its fiscal Q4 2012 alone.
Though the LTE compatibility will fuel Nvidia's growth in the
smartphone market, the introduction of new Snapdragon processors by
Qualcomm will step up competition for the company. Qualcomm
claims to have already bagged a significant number of design wins
for mid-range and high end smartphones and tablets, powered by
its Snapdragon 800 and Snapdragon 600 processors. The new
Snapdragon lineup, which will be available in commercial devices by
mid-2013, are estimated to deliver as high as 40% improved
performance compared to Qualcomm's S4 Pro processor.
In addition to Qualcomm, Marvell, MediaTek (which
recently unveiled its first quad-core chipset) and
the relatively new entrant Intel (
), Nvidia also faces competition from leading handset manufacturers
- Apple and Samsung - who design their own chips in-house and could
end up selling them to other device manufacturers in the
Our price estimate of $18.68 for Nvidia
is at a significant premium to the current market price.
