There was a time, between 7/97 and 5/98 that my mother and I lived with mom's sister & family. That is the time period I not-so-affectionately refer to as my "10 Months in Hell." And Hell it was.
My family found out about my religious beliefs (specifically, that I was Wiccan, not Christian, as they were) and, pardon the pun, all hell broke loose. Granted, I wasn't trying to hide anything, but I don't think I was throwing it in their faces, either. At first, there was an unspoken policy of "you don't bring it up, I don't bring it up, we pretend it doesn't exsist and we live with a modicum of peace." Then Shawn, a very confused boy in need of massive amounts of professional help, called me.
His mother was listening to the conversation in which Shawn asked me if I did blood sacrifices, if I worshipped the devil, etc. Naturally, I told him the truth - no, I didn't sacrifice anything, and I didn't believe in the devil so I certainly didn't worship him. Somehow, Shawn's mom twisted this into that I was "teaching her son how to do blood sacrifices and spells and summon demons." She called back after Shawn hung up and bitched at my aunt and uncle (who, btw, are a sunday-school teacher and hymn-leader respectively at their local Church of Christ) about it. A massive blow-up ensues after which I am left sobbing hysterically in the middle of the room, arms wrapped around my knees, rocking in place and beseeching the Goddess to "Please, show them what they do. Show them the truth. Make them see what are lies." For most of an hour I cried like that.
Then the most wonderful thing happened. I felt the arms of the Lady encircle me, a strong, protective, maternal aura enveloping me and comforting me.
15 minutes later or so, my aunt came downstairs and apologized for blowing-up as badly as she did, and she said she knew that I wasn't doing most of the things Shawn's mother accused me of.
However, the issue got taken to the Elders of the Church of Christ, who decreed, as I was told, that either "all items that could be used in pagan practice had to be removed from the house, or else I had to be." This meant all my books, figures, tools, etc. were packed up and put in the trunk of my mother's car for the next 9 months. (I was able to keep candles and incense, as my aunt & uncle couldn't justify denying me those, when all three of their daughters were permitted to have them.)
I remember my uncle, on several occasions, attempting to rip the pentacle from my neck, even if we were out of the house. (I didn't wear it in the house, though I did keep it hidden, usually in my bra.) But that wasn't the worst of it. The worst came from those my own age.
At school, literally 1/2 the people in the school were afraid of me - afraid that I would "cast a spell" on them, if they pissed me off. Those that weren't afraid of me would torment me. Whisper over my shoulder in the hallway "I'll see you in hell, witch!" or put "tickets to heaven" in my backpack, or scrawl "pagan-esque" grafitti on my desks, books, papers, etc. And I didn't escape it at home, either.
I had thought it only once or twice a week (though I find out now it was daily), my cousins (the 2 oldest girls, 6 mo. older than me, and 1 year younger than me) would come downstairs and rifle through my belongings, searching for anything pagan that could be reported to their parents. So many times I wanted to hate them for that. They seemed to delight in the possiblity of catching me with some "contraband" item.
I think the worst came one night I was working on homework on the computer, and picked up the wrong floppy disk. I opened the disk and realized right away it wasn't mine, but a filename had caught my attention: shala. It was so close to my name (shayla) that I opened the text file. My stomach hit the floor a moment later, as I read a fiction story written my the elder of the two cousins who had been doing the "search & report" duty. The story told of a girl (Shala) and her mother (Sharron) who had come to live with the happy, Christian family when they were in debt and had no place to go. The daughters in the story discover that Shala is an evil witch who is doing spells to attempt to break up the happy family (who, mysteriously, have been arguing and at each others' throats since Shala arrived). When Shala's spells are discovered, the family confronts her, and she slashes her arm with a knife and begins chanting in Latin (presumably another spell). The father of the family leads everyone else out, leaving Shala standing on the table, chanting, as he douses the side of the house with gasoline and proceeds to burn the evil witch alive within. But of course, the family, who still has each other, lives happily ever after.
That story crushed me. I wept for days over it, and I think it destroyed any vestiges of the childhood friendship my cousin and I had shared. I think I've still got the copy that I printed out, in fact. Even after Mom and I moved out of my aunt & uncle's, my relationship with my cousins - the eldest in particular - stayed broken. I just didn't feel I could trust her anymore - like if I confided in her, I would be betrayed. This was all 4 years ago.
And today things changed.
Today, I read her diary entry at http://horngoddess.diaryland.com/020615_10.html. I have gradually been able to get over what was done to my mother and I when we lived with my aunt & uncle - after all, it had a large part in making me who I am now, and I rather like who I am. But I needed one final thing in order to be able to forgive anyone for their actions. I need to know that at least one of them was sorry for what happened.
I know that the cousin in question will eventually read this, and I have something specifically for her.
Tabitha, I forgive you. Thank you - I needed so much to hear, to know that you regretted your actions. I know I wasn't perfect either, and I'm sorry for all the strife my presence caused. Perhaps now we may be able to rebuild that friendship we had so strongly when we were small girls running around after dark in my neighborhood and then giggling for hours under the covers after Mom insisted that we "shut up and get to sleep." *smiles and hugs you tightly*

OCZ Vertex 4 Review (256GB, 512GB)
by Anand Lal Shimpi on April 4, 2012 9:00 AM ESTThirteen months ago OCZ announced its intention to acquire Indilinx, the SSD controller maker that gave Intel its first taste of competition in the consumer market in 2009. Eight months later, OCZ launched its first post-acquisition SSD based on Indilinx silicon. Today, just five months after the launch of the Octane, OCZ is officially releasing the Vertex 4 – based on its Indilinx Everest 2 silicon. In less than a year, OCZ has brought to market more Indilinx powered controllers than Indilinx did in the previous three years. It's rare that you see the fruits of acquisition so quickly, but if there's anything OCZ's CEO Ryan Petersen is good at it's pushing for an aggressive schedule.
Rather than call this drive the Octane 2, OCZ went with Vertex 4, indicating its rightful place at the top of OCZ's SSD lineup. The implications run even deeper. It marks the first time in two years that a Vertex drive will ship without a SandForce controller inside. Make no mistake, while Octane was a shot across SandForce's bow, Vertex 4 means war. While OCZ continues to ship tons of SandForce controllers, the future for the company is Indilinx. The Vertex 4 is just the beginning. OCZ will continue to ship Vertex 3 in parallel, and should a future SandForce controller make competitive sense to use OCZ will definitely consider it, but the intention is to build the fastest silicon internally and use it as much as possible.
The dramatic departure in naming also embodies just how different Everest 2 is from the original Everest controller. OCZ claims there's minimal shared code between the Octane and Vertex 4 firmware, and the two drives perform very differently. Write amplification was always a concern with the Octane - it is no longer a major issue with the Vertex 4. OCZ and its Indilinx team have reduced write amplification to roughly the levels of Intel's controllers:
Indeed write performance is improved significantly as a result. A look at the spec sheet gives us the first indication of what's to come:
OCZ SSD Comparison | ||||||

Max Random Write | 85K IOPS | 85K IOPS | 35K IOPS | 50K IOPS | ||
AES-256 Encryption | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
Regardless of the nature of the data (compressible or incompressible), the Everest 2 powered Vertex 4 promises better random write performance than any other consumer SSD on the market today. And it delivers:
Random write speed is nothing short of incredible. OCZ is able to equal SandForce's write speed on highly compressible data without resorting to any sort of data compression. This is a purely algorithmic advantage. While the original Everest was a work in progress by the time OCZ acquired the company, Everest 2 is the first Indilinx project OCZ had complete control over. Apparently OCZ's CEO, Ryan Petersen had a lot of his own input built into this design.

What's the deal with using such an enormous SoC built on 65nm process?
I can understand OCZ / Indilinx not willing to shell premium for cutting edge 28nm process, but they could have at least used 45nm process.
With a 45nm process the SoC would be a lot smaller, thermal management would be easier (and cheaper), and power consumption would be lower (firmware update or not).
The cost of more modern process is easily balanced by the fact that they would get a lot more chips of a 300nm wafer with 45nm rather than 65nm.
Vertex 4 is a good improvement from OCZ, but they need to get serious about their execution and 'little details' if they still want to exist in another 5 years. Marvell, SandForce and Intel are not standing still and as competition increases the price of such poor decisions will weigh heavily against OCZ. Reply -
Ryan Smith - Thursday, April 05, 2012 - link
While we obviously can't speak for OCZ, when it comes to processes do keep in mind that costs escalate with the process. Older processes are not only cheaper because they have effectively reached their maximum yields, but the cost of their development has always been paid off, allowing the fabs to sell wafer runs at a lower cost and still book a profit.
For a sufficiently simple device, the additional number of dice per wafer may not offset the higher per-wafer costs, lower yield, and demand-driven pricing. 4x nm processes are still booked solid, and will be for some time. Reply -

seems intel NAND would cost more and OCZ buys most of their NAND from Micron I believe Reply -
Kristian Vättö - Wednesday, April 04, 2012 - link
Without knowing the prices, it's hard to say anything. Intel and Micron NAND come from the same fab so the silicon quality is the same. Intel does rate their NAND higher (5000 vs 3000 P/E cycles) and both companies have their own validation processes, so it's possible that Intel NAND is slightly higher quality.
It's possible that OCZ sources NAND from several fabs for the Vertex 4. E.g. Vertex 3 used NAND from Intel, Micron, Spectec and Hynix. Micron NAND is available in higher quantity as they own more plants, so that's why it's more common. Price wise I guess they are all about the same, though. Reply -
bji - Wednesday, April 04, 2012 - link
Any time a drive has a significant amount of RAM in it, I get a bit worried about the possibility of data loss on power outage. If the drive has the name OCZ attached, this worry becomes a huge concern. I would not be at all surprised if OCZ increased performance in part by reducing durability in the face of power outage.
If the RAM is used as a write buffer, then on power outage the data is lost. This is not a problem if the drive correctly reports this state to the operating system - i.e., not telling the operating system that the data is sync'd to permanent storage until it's been written out of RAM cache into the flash cells. But if the drive cheats by telling the operating system that the blocks have been written when they have been stored in its RAM rather than when the blocks have actually made it to the flash cells, then data can be lost despite the guarantee that the drive has given that it can't.
Cheating in this way could make write performance look better, and given that the drive looks particularly good for write performance and has a lot of RAM on board, I am very, very suspicious.
What about testing this drive's durability in the face of power loss? Reply -
geddarkstorm - Wednesday, April 04, 2012 - link
That's a good question.
However, from the article it sounds like the RAM is mostly being used to prefetch reads, rather than buffer writes. Reply -
bji - Wednesday, April 04, 2012 - link
That's Anandtech's conjecture. Even if OCZ told them it was so, it's not proven, as OCZ could be lying to cover the deficiency. Reply -

Venus Meets Mercury By: Stefan Seip |
Region: Europe Date: 2010 April 6 | |||
Planets Venus and Mercury are inferior planets which from the Earth sky they are always seen relatively close to the sun (although Venus can reach quite high above the horizon near its greatest elongations). Here the two planets are captured in a beautiful evening conjunction above Welzheim near Stuttgart, Germany. Venus, as the second brightest object in the night sky after the Moon, is the brighter of the pair here. Stefan Seip/Astromeeting.de

"Let Yourself Go This August"
Film Synopsis:
Believing there's more to life than a husband, house and career, Liz Gilbert (Julia Roberts) finds herself with a new appetite for life in this inspiring true story, based on the bestselling book. She leaves New York and embarks on a yearlong journey - traveling to Italy, India and Bali - seeking self-discovery through good food, meditation and the prospect of finding true love. Javier Bardem, James Franco and Billy Crudup co-star in this sumptuous and uplifting adventure filled with humor and heart.
My Take:
Whenever we go away and my wife sees a tarot card reader she loves to go in. I laugh and am not into it, and I always tell her that she is in for a mind-trip if they say something spooky or terrible. Liz Gilbert (Julia Roberts) is a writer and while working on a story in Bali, she decides to visit a Medicine Man whom she had heard good things about. He tells her she will have a short marriage, then a long marriage and that she will revisit Bali again. It sets her mind racing and when she gets back home she initiates a divorce from her husband (Billy Crudup). Like I said, if you go in for a reading of some sort, you never know what will be said (true of not) and how you will react to it.Liz proceeds to meet a younger free spirited actor (James Franco), have a fling and get the crazy notion to take a year off. She decides to go on a trip alone. She visit Italy, India then Bali, just like prophesied by the Medicine Man. So with 2 out of the 3 predictions coming true, what do you think will happen on her journey?? Should I spoil it or is it already obvious? The answer to that is about as interesting and as this bland soul searching adventure gets.
Julia Roberts is perfectly Julia Roberts here, but at times, it feels as if she knows this is a lackluster screenplay as well. The supporting cast hits their marks very well. Billy Crudup, in his small roll really stood out; I loved he song he sings Liz when working on the divorce. In Italy she meets Richard Jenkins who plays Richard from Texas. He steals the movie as always. He has becoming one of my favorite actors (check out The Visitor).
Liz ends up back in Bali with the Medicine Man and meets the Love Portion of the film, the oh-so-dreamy Mr Javier Bardem. I swear, my wife liked this movie only because he was in it. I was bored during this over 2 hour snooze fest, and felt it was just a vehicle to show pretty people in exotic locations. There was no depth to the plot, which should feel deep. India... Bali... soul searching. I should feel some of this spiritual journey, right? For me it was 50 minutes too long. I hear the book was fantastic, stick with that.

Eat Pray Love's video had a stylistic decision to look a bit over-saturated color and blow out contrast-wise. The results are a mixed bag, but Sony's transfer does the source justice. Warm and a bit soft are the best way to describe what I saw. Certain scenes finer details really do pop out when lighting and color palette are not effecting the image too much, but when the films full stylization is in effect, details take a slight back-seat. Over all it is a good presentation, its just not filmed in a way that takes advantage of the sharpness and details Blu-ray can render. The DTS-HD MA soundtrack it more competent, featuring a front-heavy, clear and articulate sound-scape. Surrounds channels are used right on the money, filling the room with natural ambiance and background noise from each completely different location. Not a movie with much use for heavy bass, however, when the films music kicks in, we get a treat to a well rounded and dynamic mix. This is a Blu-ray not to be considered for knock-out quality, though its not bad at all.

Final Thoughts:
Eat Pray Love. More like Coffee Sleep Hate for me. OK hate is a strong word but I would have quit an hour into it if I wasn't reviewing the film. I did like the beginning act as well as the Italy segment, unfortunately it just got strung on too long, wearing any charm that was there way too thin. The new age bent with the guru's and Medicine man etc. never felt authentic and Julia Roberts Liz was a boring character with a less then engaging story-arch. Chop out a half hour, sprinkle a little more humor and I bet this would have become a 3 star movie instead of 2. The Blu-ray is a clean rendering of what the source looked like, but that source is not too thrilling of a technical presentation. If you want to see this movie I suggest a rental. Well actually I suggest not bothering.

Julia is certainly a pretty woman..but her flicks of late just do nothing for me.
Hey Lee...the good stuff is on the horizon.... you won't have to wear the brown bag with 1 hole for breathing while watching some of these turds.
Surprised no Expendables review...I bought it anyway, just need to watch it along with others I haven't watched yet.
Dump the hubby, travel to exotic locales, meet a tall, dark stranger (Fabio perhaps)...and the really pathetic part is that it's all based on the true life exploits of this very unhappy woman.
I warned her before renting that the reviews were bad and to not get her hopes up. Anyways, she loved it. Her new favourite I can't believe it. So now she wants to own it and make me watch it. She wants it on Blu ray too... Well... At least I bought Expendables to balance it out
My wife rented this last night on DVD. I played video games in the other room while she watched

Yet more proof that 95% of females have absolutely horrible taste in movies
I haven't seen the film, but all the reviews I've read say the same thing as you did. It seems her only 'love' was love of herself. What kind of positive message is that supposed to send? It's okay to use people, and discard them when you get bored?
I did make it through it and found that I enjoyed it more than I thought I would, after reading these reviews.
I'd give the video score a bit of a bump over the review. It appeared to me that some of the softness in the picture was intended to hide the fact that Julia Roberts is no longer the young actress we remember from Pretty Woman.
The colors did pop and there seemed to be plenty of detail in some of the scenery shots, which were plenty.
I thought that this was Julia Roberts' best effort in years.
This is the first film in a LONG time that I walked away from before the ending. (I asked my wife how it ended later, who thought the movie was just o.k.) The whole moral of this story was appalling to me. I'm not sure why it bothered me so much, but it struck a chord.
So a woman walks away from her marriage because she is not happy, even though her husband is still in love with her. She treats herself to exotic locations, food, and lovers.
You know what men are called who do this? Dead beats, cheaters, egomaniacs….
Like others have said, to make it worse, it is based on a true story!
O.k., I've said my 4 cents worth. I feel better now.
The picture quality was o.k., but soft (intentionally). Skin tones were very nice. The locations were beautifully filmed. Sounds was fine. Dialogue was clear, but very few dynamics as to be expected.
PQ: 3.5 out of 5, SQ: 3 out of 5, Film 1 out of 5
I agree Lee. I would recommend staying away from this one.

I agree with what you said on the spoiler stuff. I thought this was going to be a great movie and it turned out to be such meaningless crap. I hated it. Total crap. Just a stupid loop from beginning to end. I mean what the reason for the first.............nevermind. It was just stupid.
I decided to rent this movie at BB yesterday only because my daughter, who also admires Roberts' skills, said she had liked it. Based on that and the film's impressive supporting cast, I decided to give it a shot. That was a big mistake. What was Roberts thinking? Stay far, far away from Eat Pray love. I give it 4 Stars out of 10 and that's probably generous.

I was asked to be part of a blogging feature in this months Company magazine (it has Tulisa on the front) Of course I jumped at the chance to talk a bit about blogging and what I do. If you click the image it will take you to a larger photo so you can read the interview! Its funny being interviewed for magazines as they re-write what you say so I find it weird because to me its not my "voice" in those words! So happy to be noticed by another magazine though!39 comments:
how cool, how cool! and i love the looks they picked. but you're right, you can totally tell its not your voice but rewritten from what you said.
congrats, congrats!

In my previous series, "The Anatomy of the Gospel", I broke down the Gospel message into five basic components (as an attempt at constructing a helpful witnessing framework) and called them the "Five Pillars of the Gospel". This is the second part of a series of posts in which I will biblically defend each of the "five pillars" I laid out as the fundamental elements necessary to faithfully proclaim the Gospel.
I Corinthians 15:3 states that Christ died for our sins. The obvious implication here is that we must be sinners if Christ died for our sins. Scripture teaches mans depravity on many occasions - here are some examples:
The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. (Genesis 6:5)
As it is written: "None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one." "Their throat is an open grave; they use their tongues to deceive." "The venom of asps is under their lips." "Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness." "Their feet are swift to shed blood; in their paths are ruin and misery, and the way of peace they have not known." "There is no fear of God before their eyes." Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God. For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it - the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:10-23)
Ok, so maybe Paul could say something so brutal to our fragile self esteem, but surely not Jesus . . . then check the verses that immediately follow John 3:16:
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. (John 3:17-20)
Does the natural man know he is a sinner (as Joel Osteen suggests) therefore nullifying our need to preach on sin and define it. Absolutely not. Mr Osteen clearly hasn't visited any prisons recently because if he did he would have found a building full of self professed wrongly convicted people. Indeed the Scripture teaches that "every man proclaims his own goodness" (Proverbs 20:6) and is "clean in his own eyes" (Proverbs 16:2). That he "suppresses the truth in unrighteousness" (Romans 1:18) and has a heart that is "deceitfully wicked" (Jeremiah 17:9).
If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. (1 John 1:8)
If we are to teach that Christ died for our sins then we must define what sin is:
Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. (1 John 3:4)
And how do we come to a knowledge of our sin:
if it had not been for the law, I would not have known sin. I would not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said, "You shall not covet." (Romans 7:7b)
A faithful proclamation of the Gospel, therefore, must present men as sinners and bring this knowledge by the use of God's law.
So the law functions first of all to kill me, to end my self creation - all attempts to write my own life movie and reinvent my character. The gospel inserts me into a new script: "alive in Christ" (Michael Horton - Christless Christianity p129).
On Monday I will continue with a biblical defence of PILLAR 3 – THE NECESSITY OF JUDGMENT.
Go On To Part 3
Go Back To Part 1
Go To "The Anatomy Of The Gospel" Series

Dude! I completely forgot that Islam has five pillars. I hope it doesn't lead to too much confusion. Maybe I should change the title???

Apple Got a Patent for the Page-Turn, Which May Send Mark Cuban Over the Edge
The design submitted to the patent office. |
In this week's Dallas Observer, we have a long look at the goofiness of the U.S. patent system, which lots of smart people agree is suffocating innovation in this country. One of those smart people is local billionaire Mark Cuban, who's been on a jihad against patent laws for a while. He wrote this back in March:
Anyone who reads this blog knows how much I hate patent laws. I think 99pct of the time they are anti-competitive, corruptive, impede creativity and innovation and can kill small businesses. I think the ratio of patent law doing a good job protecting company IP vs it being used purely to negatively impact competitors or to troll for un-earned revenue is probably 1000 to 1, or worse.
Well, he's going to really love this: Apple just secured a patent for turning the page.
The New York Times' tech blog has the story. The page-turn is one of 38 patents Apple was awarded this week, all of which may now be the basis of lawsuits against its competitors, assuming those competitors don't already have patents on the same technology, which they may, because did we mention how totally fucked the U.S. patent system is? From the Times:
Yes, that's right. Apple now owns the page turn. You know, as when you turn a page with your hand. An "interface" that has been around for hundreds of years in physical form. I swear I've seen similar animation in Disney or Warner Brothers cartoons. ...
Of course this isn't the most seemingly obvious patent Apple has been awarded in recent years. The company has also been granted patents for an icon for music (which is a just a musical note), the glass staircase used in the company's stores - yes, stairs, that people walk up -- and for the packaging of its iPhone.
Tune in next week, when Apple successfully patents the apple, sues all the apple farmers, and convinces its herd of bearded acolytes that the lawsuit is good for innovation because now someone will totally invent a new and delicious fruit.

Jewish residents report that Waqf works at the Dome of the Rock have restarted 'under cover', likely destroying Jewish archaeological artifacts.
Arnon Segal, a resident on the Beit Hoshen neighborhood on the Mount of Olives, told Arutz-7 that there have been changes in the area recently. "We are seven families who have lived here for four and a half years, and we have the privilege to watch over the Temple Mount from a unique angle. Unfortunately, the sights we have seen in the past two weeks have caused us great frustration."
Segal said that Waqf attempts to conceal the work but that it is not hard to see what is happening these days on the Temple Mount. "The Waqf works are constant, we see tractors going to and fro carrying earth. The work is taking place near the Dome of the Rock, exactly in the place between where our Holy Temple's courtyard and the Altar used to stand. The Waqf claims they are doing pavement work there, or so they advertise in the news sites, but in practice they surrounded themselves in white burlap and we see there is scaffolding. I suppose that for paving works there should be no need for scaffolding."
Segal expressed concern that the truth behind the work is a continuation of the Islamic movement's effort to destroy and erase the Jewish history of the Temple Mount. "There's probably something much more invasive here. You must understand that when you do pavement work in such a place near the Dome of the Rock, at the elevation where our Holy Temple once stood, you don't have to dig too deep to reach the ancient artifacts that have not been touched for years. They want to destroy the ancient evidence of Jewish history there, and this has already been done in the past. Many times archaeological remains were discovered in garbage piles and no one was arrested."
Waqf Bulldozers on Temple Mount May Be Destroying Jewish History
Jewish residents report that Waqf works at the Dome of the Rock have restarted 'under cover', likely destroying Jewish artifacts.

Of course QB is a major problem. I don't think there's a poster on JI that thinks otherwise.
What is not discussed enough is:
1. We are supposed to win on D and the Rushing game so their failure is 10x the issue of the quarterback.
2. Our head coach is awful.
3. We knew coming out of Cortland how bad our O was and how good our D was supposed to be. The O met our sorry expectations. The D disappointed fantastically.
Mark Sanchez, Mark Sanchez, Mark Sanchez. That's all that gets talked about here. As if he alone is the reason for our failure. He's not.
We have invested 80% of our resources on building the '85 Bears defense and it's bombing.
We have the best special teams coach in NFL history and he's bombing.
The Patriots have figured out the Rex Ryan defense and are exploiting it every time we play them.
Sure the QB sucks. Thing is, even as badly as Mark has played this season we'd be headed for 10-6 or 11-5 if the defense and special teams showed up in New England and against Miami.

The Problem:
For the 40 million adults in the United States with very low literacy skills - those designated by NALS as Level One - it is a struggle to read to their children or help with them with schoolwork. The reading level of these adults is severely limiting. They cannot understand the instructions on an appliance warranty, find an intersection on a street map, or locate two pieces of information in a sports article. Equally disturbing are the facts that 43 percent of those with the lowest literacy skills live in poverty and nearly one-third of prison inmates have very low literacy skills. Another 52 million adults have only low literacy skills (NALS Level Two). While these individuals have a basic ability to read, many everyday tasks are beyond their skill levels. They cannot, for example, write a short letter explaining a mistake on a credit card bill or use a calculator to figure out the difference between regular and sale prices described in an ad.
Low literacy skills significantly impact adults' ability to be productive as citizens, parents or workers. The Implications:
All courses and web pages Copyright © 2002-2005
According to the National Adult Literacy Survey (NALS), 92 million adults in the United States - almost 48 percent of the population - have very low or low literacy skills. Reading and writing at these levels makes it difficult to earn a living wage and turns everyday tasks into extraordinary challenges.
Even more widespread, the problem of people not reading--aliteracy--lowers the expectations and potential of the entire society. The life of the mind that practiced literacy engenders makes this recovery effort critical.

For over a year now, it's been the distinct privilege of the Young Adult Dept. at FPC to lead a weekly Bible study at the Mississippi College School of Law. We meet during the lunch hour every Monday for a time of teaching and discussion from a passage of Scripture. The title of the series for this semester is "Heavenly Wisdom for Earthly Good: A Study of the Book of James."
Yesterday we focused our attention on James 1:19-21 and 3:1-12. This is the section in James where the dangers of the tongue are addressed frankly, and where we receive this very convicting command: "…be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger." Discussion regarding the sins of the tongue make almost any group of Christians squirm, but you can imagine how affecting these words were for a room full of soon-to-be lawyers! (Almost as affecting as a room full of soon-to-be ministers!)
Well, in God's kind providence it pleased him to re-emphasize this truth to me today. When I opened J.I. Packer's Knowing and Doing the Will of God to read the devotional for February 12, the reading came from James 1:21—the exact passage I taught the day before. Here's what it says, "Humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you." Though I knew what James intended in his instruction, I found my soul needing to hear this admonition afresh this morning. Humility prepares the soil of the heart to receive the seed of the gospel. It's not my words or your words that save; it's God's Word.
Here's what Packer had to say: "God plants the word in our hearts just as we plant bulbs and seeds in our flower pots. The word takes root in our hearts and changes us in ways of which we are not at first conscious; in due course, however, we become aware that we are different from the way we were. Once I didn't see Jesus in his glory, now I do. Once I didn't love my heavenly Father, and now I do. Once I didn't find worship a joy, and now I do. Once I didn't desire to please God more than I desire anything else in the world; once I didn't desire God's fellowship at all—but that has changed. What has happened? The Word has been planted and taken root, and through the Holy Spirit it has become the means of life to my—and your—heart." (p.53)

the un-diaper bag + revised shopping list for fall
so i ordered this not rational hansel diaper bag.
i was considering a tote bag from dwell studio, but i really wanted more outside pockets. kate spade also has a cute tote bag with handy outside pockets, but the price tag is a bit too high for just nylon--plus, i don't think it attaches to strollers.
i still think that this market tote would make an excellent diaper bag. not only is it the cheapest, but you could definitely use it afterward.
i'm not really a bag person, but i wanted to get myself something nice. i've noticed that since leon arrived, i've had a hard time buying myself things. it's like 3 for him, 1 for me...
i am, however, keeping an eye out for the jeffrey monteiro peacoat. so far, i've seen it at metier, bird, and totokaelo (whoops, looks like it sold out). perhaps we should keep a running list of stockists?
my revised shopping list:
mociun dress in sticks and stones print
apc petit standards
rachel comey familiar metal dress in moss green (available at stels)
steven alan gathered sweater in oatmeal and burnt orange
of course, if i happen to be at the steven alan outpost, i'm sure i'll throw caution to the wind and buy as many button-down shirts as will fit me.

love the diaper bag! i am going to have to keep that in mind ........
- codename: tiny said...
The Monteiro coat is also available at Stuart & Wright in Brooklyn--in fact, it's currently on display in the window.
- Moya said...
It's also in Barneys in both colorways. It's lovely but quite lightweight so I suspect it will go on sale.
- erica said...
thanks for the heads up, i'll have to add s&w to my list.
i think it'll go on sale, too. i bought mine over half off through a sample sale. i'm glad to hear that it's lightweight, since it'll be quite heavy with all of leon's things.
i'm hoping this bag will be useful for years to come. i just couldn't bear to spend $60-180 on a regular diaper bag. - 12:54 AM
- If Jane said...
oh great diaper bag!!! (only the best for leon!)...
and i am sending you great postive shopping energy re: your list...;)) - 9:22 AM
- miss sophie said...
that is a chic chic diaper bag. looks like it's versatile enough that you can actually use it as a 'regular' bag as well! so great that there are labels out there that design with style and functionality in mind, without immediately resorting to kitschy nylon and loud prints when the bag has a specific 'function'...
and you can never have too many steven alan buttondonwis :) - 9:46 AM
- Eunice said...
Stuart and Wright and Plain Clothes in Birrmingham (you can easily email/phone them) have the Monteiro coat. I think Barneys has them in grey, I prefer the black though.
- jenny gordy said...
that's a great diaper bag that you bought! doesn't even look like a diaper bag.
i love hearing what you're buying for fall. i've pretty much bought all my fall stuff already. i'm dying for button downs and a plaid coat from steven alan though.
i tried on that mociun dress in sticks and stones the other day, and it's perfect. so pretty. i'm hoping to buy it on sale at lena's holiday sale. i got the tie-front blue and orange tulip dress already though. the fabric is gorgeous, wonderful drape that really works for that shape. - 6:34 PM
- erica said...
i LOVE that blue and orange Mociun dress. I wish I could see it in person.
I hope I can make it to NYC for Lena's sale.
I'm holding out for the sales, for the most part. Matthew is looking for a job now, so I don't want to spend too much money until we know what our finances are going to be like. - 4:43 PM

Quirkology : The Curious Science of Everyday Lives
List price: US$12.42
Currently unavailable
Ever wondered why bad musicians always win the Eurovision Song Contest, or how incompetent politicians get elected? You need some Quirkology in your life. While other scientists beaver away on obvious problems, Richard Wiseman has been busy uncovering the secret ingredients of charisma, exploring how our personalities are shaped by when we are born and examining why people usually miss the obvious signs of their partner's infidelity. Using scientific methods to investigate offbeat topics that interest the general public as well as the scientific community, "Quirkology" brings a new understanding to the backwaters of the human mind and takes us to places where mainstream scientists fear to tread. Comparable to Freakonomics, but British, far more populist, and a lot funnier. Findings include: How does your surname influence your life? What does the way you walk reveal about your personality? Why should women have men write their personal ads? and What is the funniest joke in the world?show more

You have many powers unknown to normal human beings. You can change shape into any of five forms: Homid, your human shape; Glabro, a bestial-looking humanoid shape; Crinos, a giant wolf-man (or woman); Hispo, a huge dire-wolf; and Lupus, your normal wolf shape.
You were probably born a human being, but possibly not. If you were born human, your breed is Homid. If you were born a wolf, your breed is Lupus. (Just like the forms) If you were born the product of two werewolves breeding together (which is a big no-no, but more about that later, see Litany) then you are a Metis, which means several things. One, you're either deformed or crazy; two, your natural form is the Crinos form; and three, you're sterile. Your parents were naughty. Tsk tsk...
Werewolves shift at the full moon, right? Not exactly. But your moon sign, or auspice as it's called in W:tA, governs your role in the werewolf pack. New moons are called Ragabash, and their role is to be tricksters and questioners of the ways. Crescent moons are called Theurge, assigned to study and pass on the mystic rites and knowledge. Half-moons go by Philodox, and are the judges of the werewolf pack. Gibbous moons are called Galliard, their roles are oral historian, storyteller and bard. And for the full moon, the warrior and battle leader is the Ahroun.
There's a lot more to it, but I'll leave you to explore the mysteries of passing through the Gauntlet to the Umbra, learning Gifts from spirits, fighting vampires and going up in Rank for later...
Second in White Wolf Game Studio's line of RPGs set in the World of Darkness. The game is about the struggle between man and machine, between good and evil, between big snarling masses of muscle, fur, and werewolfness known as Garou, and the slime-oozing, pus-filled, evil-exuding, and generally evil minions of the Wyrm. Oh, and the mystical struggle between the Wyld, the Weaver, and the Wyrm.
The werewolves, or Garou as they call themselves, are broken into many tribes. Each Garou belongs to a tribe by birth (although some tribes insist on a test of some sort to prove worthiness) or by adoption. The existing tribes and their stereotypes are as follows:

Trusted by millions of women around the world, Olay is the best selling anti aging skin care range in five continents. Olay was developed more then 60 years ago by South African chemist Graham Wulff and his wife. Olay is now part of Procter & Gamble, which also manufactors SK-II, Oral-B, CoverGirl and DDF. Olay consists of multiple skin care franchises, including Complete, Oil of Olay, Total Effects, Hydrating Effects, Total Effects Professional, Regenerist, Quench, Pro X, 7 Effects and Definity. Olay products can be purchased at Walmart, Target, Walgreens and across the nation at leading retailers. Searching the internet for Olay reviews suggests that women are very passionate about Okay and it's associated products. Olay has almost 2 million likes and 20,000 comments on Facebook. Olay has a full range of cleansers, serums, moisturizers and face and eye creams with the aim of meeting the full range of skincare needs, whatever the user's age or skin type. The brand also includes soaps, body washes and sunscreens. As part of our Review of Olay, we looked specifically at the skin care products. Olay has over twenty patents and contributes a reasonable part of it's $2 billion in revenue on research and development. The products are very innovative and constantly pushing the boundaries. For the first part of the review, we have reviewed Olay Regenerist, Professional Pro x Cleaning System (also know as Olay Face Brush) and for the second part we will review 7 Effects, Total Effects and Definity.
Olay Regenerist Review
We have evaluated Olay Regenerist Regenerating Serum, Olay Regenerist Recovery Cream and Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Serum. The product claims to firm lax skin areas including the jaw lines and smooth the skin while restoring collagen and elasticity. It can be used on any skin type. Olay Regenerist Ingredients include Niacinamide, amino-peptide, B3 complex, Vitamin D5 and Pentapeptide. The product is very innovative and contains high concentration of active ingredients. Olay Regenerist represents good value for money and we recommend it.
And our #1 recommendation in 2017 is Advanced Dermatology. Excellent.
Followed by Arrosa Cosmetics. Our number #2 recommendation. Natural, organic products.
Olay Pro X Advanced Cleansing System Review
The Olay Pro x claims to to clean 6 times better than basic cleansing and that it is as effective is as effective as a system sold by skin professionals for nearly $200. Given the products is priced around $20, we were really keen to find out if it was as effective. We can assume by other systems they are reffering to cleansing systems like Clarisonic Mia. It is recommended that you use the The Pro-X Exfoliating Renewal Cleanser while cleansing. Olay Pro X Cleansing System contains brushes to get you started but you'll need to buy new brushes every 3 months. The system is not sonic like the Clarisonic but it does a good enough job to exfoliate the skin.
Please feel free to share your Olay Review below.

After login, you can reply this review.
My Light In The Box experience has been absolutely perfect....this is my second dress bought in six months, the first was purchased for my homecoming and this one was for Senior Prom...and I truly will always purchased through Light In The Box. I choose this dress in the color pool and the color was like a beautiful blue sky is the only way to describe the color. It is easy to go to the store and pick a dress off a rack of dresses...but when you can pick the style, color and size it makes it unique just for your special day. I love everything about this dress and it's so affordable. Thank you Light In The Box!

At first I was kind of nervous of ordering my Prom dress online, but everything worked out fine.
The dress I received looks exactly in the picture! :)
I got my dress in the colour, Pearl Pink and it looks just as I imagined it!
My only complaint was that the roses were rather small and left weird looking gaps at the neckline.
But otherwise it was perfect!
Heyy im also interested in this dress, i live in germany and I need the size 38 ... which is this size at this page, can u help me ? :)

This dress is a size 2! But I'm a size 0 in real life but since this site doesnt have many size 0s I had to get the next smallest size (2) and I'm getting it altered! The dress itself in real life is PRETTY BIG length and width. :)

I love my dress! I am wearing it for my school formal and I am so excited as to how it turned out. My order took a long time to arrive but luckily it was worth it. It fits perfectly according to the size charts which is great! Very happy.

Wat een prachtige jurk. Deze ga ik dragen op de bruiloft van mij zus. Ik ben heel erg teverden, het past precies. Mooie kleur ook. Oranje!! Van bestellen tot ontvangst is het prima gegaan. Prijs was redelijk. Ik vond verzendkosten en invoer kosten iets aan de dure kant. Maar goed, dat mag de pret niet bederven want ik ben er super trots op. Ik heb een maat 6 genomen. Ik ga zeker weten nog een keer wat bestellen hier.
Heel erg bedankt voor deze prachtige jurk.
hoeveel waren de verzendkosten en invoerkosten naar Nederland?

Hola hoy recibí mi vestido y estoy muy contenta el vestido es precioso le tendre que hacer unos arreglos pues me queda un poco largo, pero la tela es muy bonita y aunque mi boda es en verano queria ya tenerlo para que todo este perfecto para ese dia. lo unico que no me gusto fue que me toco pagar mucho por impuestos y aranceles. pero bueno despues de ver el vestido pienso que valio la pena. Aqui subo unas fotos con el vestIdo ya despues les enviare las de la boda. Gracias

Recebi o vestido bem antes do tempo prometido pela empresa. Ele é perfeito, todo forrado de cetim e o chifon é de ótima qualidade, com a cor idêntica à amostra do site. Paguei a taxa para receber o produto com minhas medidas e deu certinho. Ótima experiência! O único porém, que deixou a relação custobenefício bem abaixo do esperado foi a cobrança da Polícia Federal de uma taxa de 60% do preço total do pedido, encarecendo o pedido em 200 reais extras!!!
Bom dia
Queremos agradecer a sua preferência pelos produtos do nosso site e por ter partilhado a sua opinião com outros clientes.

Qual é a cor que tu solicitastes. Ficastes linda!

Boa Tarde Ana Flávia!!!
Gostaria de saber se o valor da taxa da Polícia Federal é quando chega a mercadoria ou no ato da compra? Eles avisam quando chega aqui no Brasil? Mais o menos levou quando tempo da entrega e chega em casa ou tem que buscar em algum lugar?
Fiquei aguardando suas respostas.
Desde Já agradeço,

The dress is very well made and good quality. It is very long but that's good as we would need to make allowances for shoes anyway.
The roses look good but can be easily removed if necessary. I removed one (from under the arm as it was uncomfortable) and used it as a hair clip.
I ordered the dress in 'blue' and am going to order my other dresses from here. I want 'light sky blue' but the drop down won't let me chose this? Can anyone help?

Wow what a dress. I was a bit scared to order my dress online, but after waiting patiently for my dress i'd have to say it was absolutely worth it. The customer service team were helpful and very prompt, The dress very well made out of gorgeous materials. Tracking via fedex was easy to monitor my dress during shipping. I'm already looking for my next dress to buy from lightinthebox.
what colour is this dress?
