The online picture does not do this necklace justice, as it is so much nicer including the color of the stone when you actually see it. It looks like a piece of jewelry that was passed on through generation. It is so beautiful!

Mark Shaw, manager of Evo-Stik League First Division South club Sheffield FC, has added another new face to his…
…squad with the addition of 19-year-old right-back Jack Barnett who has been released by Sheffield Wednesday.
Previously described by the Owls' Academy manager Sean McAuley as a player with "good ability" when signing a first year pro contract last season, the youngster is also comfortable playing in midfield.
Sheffield FC coach Ian Whitehorne said of the new addition: "Jack had a number of options open to him after leaving Wednesday but we had a meeting at the ground, with him and his dad, and it didn't take him long to decide that his future was best served joining Sheffield FC."
Barnett joined the rest of the squad, including fellow newcomers Matt Varley, Charlie Weir and Shane Kelsey, in pre-season training earlier this week.

* Intel shares up after upbeat outlook
* Indexes: Dow up 0.1 pct, S&P up 0.1 pct, Nasdaq up 0.4 pct (Updates to late afternoon)
By Caroline Valetkevitch
NEW YORK, Nov 20 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks up slightly in late afternoon trading on Thursday as data showed further strength in the U.S. economy and Intel gave an upbeat forecast.
Tech shares helped to lead the day's gains after Intel's revenue outlook for 2015 was above Wall Street's expectations and the company also raised its dividend. Intel shares climbed 3.8 percent to $35.65, giving a boost to all three major indexes.
News that a traveler from Mali was undergoing a test for possible Ebola at New York City's Bellevue Hospital briefly revived worries about the spread of the disease in the United States.
Earlier in the day, data showed factory activity in the U.S. mid-Atlantic region grew at its fastest pace in two decades, U.S. home resales jumped to their highest in more than a year in October, and a gauge of future U.S. economic activity gained.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 14.84 points, or 0.08 percent, to 17,700.57, the S&P 500 gained 2.03 points, or 0.1 percent, to 2,050.75 and the Nasdaq Composite added 20.12 points, or 0.43 percent, to 4,695.83.
Advancing issues outnumbered declining ones on the NYSE by 1,890 to 1,128, for a 1.68-to-1 ratio; on the Nasdaq, 1,740 issues rose and 983 fell for a 1.77-to-1 ratio.
The S&P 500 was posting 44 new 52-week highs and 2 new lows; the Nasdaq Composite was recording 54 new highs and 50 new low. (Editing by Bernadette Baum and Nick Zieminski)

Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac
by Gabrielle Zevin
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I found a few things disturbing here, for instance how much Naomi's dad let her get away with, but mostly it was a very interesting story, with several characters who entranced me, and with some amazingly graceful & provocative metaphors:
I thought about... making up with him, but.... Our fight didn't even have a scab yet, and in my mind he'd said worse things to me than I had to him."
I like the little things thrown in, like how one of Naomi's friends is a lesbian who is in love with another girl who is bi and has the attitude that "it's high school; I don't have to marry anyone." And how the bitchy girl is beautiful & popular, and messed-up, *and* probably strong enough straighten herself out before it's too late.
My only complaint, really, is that it was a bit too short. So many interesting side-stories and we see only glimpses of them. I don't like series, but I could see myself reading other books set in this same community, so we could read Brianna's story, and Ace's, and Chloe's...."
audiobook, amnesia, high school, dating, tennis, yearbook, friends, friendship, mental illness, divorce, remarriage, anger, trust, lying, step-sister, starting over, memories, realistic fiction, young adult
Naomi wakes up not knowing who she is or what happened to her. As she is rediscovering who she is and who her friends are, she begins to realize her old life no longer fits with what she likes now. On the path to finding out who she is she meets a guy and breaks up with her old boyfriend. Through her journey she learns who she truly likes and why.
I loved the book up until the ending. I don't know what I was expecting but it wasn't Naomi ending up with Will. I guess I secretly wanted her to end up with James and make him better but that's not what happened. But overall, this was a great book and I loved it.
This story of a teen losing her memory was a really interesting look at the choices we make in our friendships, families and activities. Thanks for the recommend Amy Roach!

If Naomi had picked tails, she would have won the coin toss. She wouldn't have had to go back for the yearbook camera, and she wouldn't have hit her head on the steps. She wouldn't have woken up in an ambulance with amnesia. She certainly would have remembered her boyfriend, Ace. She might even have remembered why she fell in love with him in the first place. She would understand why her best friend, Will, keeps calling her "Chief." She'd know about her mom's new family. She'd know about her dad's fiancée. She never would have met James, the boy with the questionable past and the even fuzzier future, who tells her he once wanted to kiss her. She wouldn't have wanted to kiss him back.
But Naomi picked heads.
After her remarkable debut, Gabrielle Zevin has crafted an imaginative second novel all about love and second chances.
Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac is a 2008 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.

After a nasty fall, Naomi realizes that she has no memory of the last four years and finds herself reassessing every aspect of her life.

NEW DELHI: An Indian court has rejected a plea by 85-year-old Dr Syed Muhammad Khalil Chishti for his acquittal in a murder case for which he has been sentenced to life imprisonment.
In a blow that the Chishty family and the retired virologist will find it hard to recover from, the Rajasthan High Court on Tuesday upheld his life imprisonment.
Many sets of civil activists, led by National Advisory Council member Aruna Roy and other NGOs had asked the court to show mercy. The Indian government had also recommended the release to the chief minister of Rajasthan who had processed the mercy petition in a matter of hours and sent it to Governor Shivraj patil. However, the petition is still pending with the governor.
The governor has the power of remission of sentence under article 161 of the Indian Constitution.
Former Indian Supreme Court judge Justice Markandey Katju had also written to the prime minister, seeking the government's intervention in the matter. Katju, who is now the chairman of the Press council of India, had, in interviews and conversations, sought to create a climate of opinion in favour of mercy to the old and ailing Pakistani.

Come February, at long last, Community will return for Season 4. While we still have a couple of months to wait to see what's ahead for the Greendale Community students, NBC has slowly begun giving us glimpses of the season premiere, titled "History 101." The latest look at the show comes in the form of a handful of photos, some of which show Jeff and the dean getting up close and personal.
Vague Community spoilers ahead!
The first couple of photos may seem familiar to anyone who watched the clip that was circulating earlier this fall, which showed the dean choosing Jeff for a dance. Most of the photos NBC released appear to be from that scene, and involve the dean in both of his dresses, and a few glimpses of his horned men (bodyguards?).
Gun show!
There are a few more from that scene in the gallery below, but here's one that focuses on Abed, who appears to be trying to navigate through some kind of laser security system.
Is the dance perhaps a distraction to keep the dean dazzled and occupied while Abed and others attempt to get to something that's locked away? Just a bit of random speculation. With Community, anything is really possible. That's part of what makes the show so great. Unfortunately, it's seemed like an eternity since we've seen a new episode, and we still have about two months to wait before the show returns.
Community Season 4 premiere February 7 at 8/7c on NBC.

|Vol. IX, No. 2, 1996
by Jamie Cox
Jamie Cox, a native of Ellington, Missouri responds to an article previously published in Missouri Magazine by Nancy Averett. The Averett article was reprinted in part in OzarksWatch, Volume IX, no. 1, 1996. The quality of life at any place, Ms. Cox argues, is not precisely observable by a visiting journalist. Much of it must be felt.
Ellington, Reynolds County, is in the southeast Missouri Ozarks.
Recently, my hometown was visited by a journalist. I was disappointed to learn that this visitor, who is trained to see beyond the surface, came to Ellington and failed to do just that. It seems to me upon entering a town that appears to offer so little, a journalist would want to know what makes people want to live here. What does such a town have to offer? Ellington, a small community in Southeast Missouri, one like many other rural American towns, may be socially and culturally deprived, and many of them are undeniably economically depressed, but the sense of home and the chance to have a childhood are endangered attributes that still exist in these towns and make up for the things they may lack. Had the journalist pressed the residents about why they live in Ellington, Missouri, most of them would have told her about their family tree, their roots, their history, their traditions. The undercurrent that flows through such stories sends a strong message--the importance they place on, and the pride they take in, their homes and families.
These personal accounts of days past is essentially a way of defining home and saying that here, in this land, I am home. For these people, home is not an address with socially elite neighbors, handy to the mall and the megamarket, in a safe part of town. It's about living and dying, surrounded by those whose blood runs common through soil and sky.
It's all really so very simple. Home is about gardening with grandma, fishing with grandpa, and playing hide-n-go-seek with cousins, while in the living room grown-ups gossip and recall that Great-grandma Hettie was a Chilton. Home is a place where a child can have a childhood, and an adult can recall---even relive--childhood without fear or shame.
Even now, no matter where I live, I often think of growing up on a hill three miles outside of Ellington. With the changing of the seasons, I remember blooming, greening, growing, falling, and resting. Each season has its own set of memories, and I suppose it is those memories that call most clearly to me from home.
Springtime was Mom's favorite. Our hill was covered with trees and wild shrubbery of all kind. Almost before winter loosed its grip, "sarviceberry" blooms sent their sweet messages throughout the woods. Then came the dogwoods, so sudden and magically white against a still-stark background it was easy to believe the four petals stood for the four points of the cross and the center the crown of thorns. Mom would clip a few and arrange a bouquet to use as a center-piece at the Easter Sunday dinner.
The grandparents always came to our house on Easter Sunday; and our cat never failed to have kittens on that day or a day before or after the holiday. My granddaddy's birthday was in the spring. Grandma always made a great fuss over birthdays, so if the weather was warm we would sit outside on the porch when he opened his presents.
I loved summer because Mom would let me go barefoot. She knew just when the ground was warm enough for my feet. I would swing on my swing set and sing the Baptist hymns I had heard at church the Sunday before. Then Mom would yell from the patio door that lunch (usually my favorite--grilled cheese sandwich and Kool-Aid) was ready and I would leap from my swing and mark my landing spot--just in case it was a record setting jump.
"Wash your hands, young lady," I'd hear the second I walked through the door.
Sometimes I'd come inside to the smell of chocolate chip cookies. That was the grandest aroma. My big brother always waited for the second batch because "the second batch is always better" he'd explain, but I never had the patience.
Dad made certain that our yard was as smooth and green as astroturf. It isn't as large as it seemed to me then, but it was all the world a child could want. When it was too hot to do much of anything else, my brother and I would get out the garden hose and dance through the spray screaming and laughing. With the one possible exception of our annual week at Grandma's house, I believe those days with the garden hose were the best summer had to offer.
Fall eased onto our hill like an old friend. My brother and I raked the leaves into mazes. Then when we were finished finding our way through sibling deviousness, we'd make a pile at the bottom of the sliding board and lose ourselves amidst the dying summer. This was autumn at home. One autumn everything changed and I thought I was going to die--I went to college. I felt like an empty bottle floating on an aimless sea. Then I'd call home and everything was all right.
Every year autumn eventually turned to winter and winter had a way of settling in with us like in-laws. Snow days would go on for weeks causing cabin fever and allergic reactions to siblings. Dad would leave for the mill in the morning with his trailer hooked to the back of his pickup and come home with the trailer filled with woodblocks. We would go outside to help unload the wood because supper was never ready until all of the wood was unloaded. Dad was such a hard worker. Even when he came home from work, he worked. In the winter Mom cooked. Cooking was not one of Mom's favorite things to do, but we could count on her to make vegetable beef stew during those long cold months. Sometimes she'd make cinnamon rolls. Cabin fever didn't stand a chance against the aroma of her cinnamon rolls.
In the past few years changes, the unpredictable-predictable sort, have come. Change, even in the most unchanging environments, is inevitable. Granddaddy doesn't come over for Easter dinner any more. One bitter December, winter settled into his body and gently took him home to his Lord. When we visit him there on the hill, resting among three generations of our family, even through the loss I feel a strange contentment.
In the summer my brother and I don't play water games. We visit one another's homes, new mazes in new yards. In the fall I still try to go back to Ellington for my birthday and to see the autumn leaves hanging over highway 106 just before they fall to the ground for the winter. If it is still warm when I go, Mom likes to have my birthday dinner outside on the porch. The older she gets the more she fusses over birthdays.
These memories are a small part of what Ellington really is and why people live there. They live in
Ellington for the same reasons I go back there to visit: it's home, a place where you've always
been taken in, always will be, even if, somehow, you haven't to deserve it.
|Part of a moon was falling down the west,
Dragging the whole sky with it to the hills.
Its light poured softly in her lap. She saw it
And spread her apron to it. She put out her hand
Among the harplike morning-glory strings,
Taught with the dew from garden bed to ease,
As if she played unheard some tenderness
That wrought on him beside her in the night.
'Warren, 'she said, 'he has come home to die:
You needn't be afraid he'll leave you this time.'
'Home,' he mocked gently.
'Yes, what else but home?
It all depends on what you mean by home.
Of course he's nothing to us, any more
Than was the hound that came a stranger to us
Out of the woods, worn out upon the trail.'
'Home is the place where, when you have
to go there,
They have to take you in.'
'I should have called it
Something you somehow haven't to deserve.'

text: The 20th annual AIDS Walk New York, held on May 15, was the most successful ever, raising $5.8 million, according to walk organizers. About 45,000 people participated in the event. All funds raised by the event will support Gay Men's Health Crisis, the nation's first AIDS service organization. "AIDS is the defining health crisis of our time, especially here in New York," said GMHC executive director Ana Oliveira in a press release. "There is no better way to honor the lives of those living with HIV and those we have lost. That the walk raises money for GMHC and other local AIDS organizations makes it that much more important. We are extremely grateful to all of the individuals, groups, and companies who walked, organized teams, sponsored walkers, made donations, and helped us to keep the focus on AIDS." To date, AIDS Walk New York has raised more than $80 million for GMHC and other local AIDS organizations.

FA Cup: Scott Carson insists Wigan can recover from disappointment in play-offs
Scott Carson believes Wigan can regroup from their FA Cup semi-final heartache and return to Wembley in the play-offs.
Last Updated: 13/04/14 1:46pm
Latics - cup holders and conquers of Manchester City in the quarter-finals last month - were just seven minutes away from pulling off another major shock after going ahead through a penalty from Jordi Gomez on the hour.
However, Per Mertesacker's late equaliser sent the tie into extra-time and, after Arsenal had hit the woodwork through Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, eventually on to the lottery of a shoot-out.
Substitute Gary Caldwell and Jack Collison, on loan from West Ham, both had their spot-kicks saved by Poland keeper Lukasz Fabianski as the Barclays Premier League side ran out 4-2 winners to reach their first FA Cup final since 2005.
Carson, though, believes Uwe Rosler's side can take heart from their FA Cup performances to boost their promotion drive over the closing five matches of the Championship campaign.
"It just wasn't to be, but we have to give ourselves credit and we can be proud that we took them all the way to penalties," Carson said on www.thefa.com.
"Our aim now is to come back here in May in the play-off final.
"We have to take a lot of confidence out of this, come back, and cement ourselves in the Premier League - there won't be too many teams that want to play us."
For long spells of Saturday's encounter, Rosler's game plan had worked well as after a promising start when Yaya Sanogo forced a good reaction save from Carson, Arsenal struggled to find any sort of rhythm despite plenty of possession.
Wigan made the most of the opportunity which came their way after midway through the second-half when Mertesacker tripped Callum McManaman.
Eventually, after a long delay for treatment and the substitution of Arsenal defender Nacho Monreal, Gomez smashed the resultant spot-kick past Fabianski to give the heavily outnumbered Latics supporters genuine hope another upset was on the cards.
Rosler felt the substitution of the lively McManaman because of cramp heading into the final 20 minutes of normal time, not long after Josh McEachran had been replaced by Collison, did have an impact on the way his side were able to set up for the closing stages.
He said: "Callum signalled to the bench that he had cramps in both calfs, and that was visible (to us).
"We did very well (pressing) against the ball, and you need to have the legs to sustain that pressure in the second half, which is why we had to make these two substitutions.
"It would have been nice to have another 10 or 15 minutes before making them, but unfortunately that happens and I needed to react after what I saw."
Rosler, though, feels his men can take plenty of positives out of the bitter disappointment of defeat as they now focus on the visit of fellow play-off hopefuls Reading on Good Friday.
"For me, we will be walking out of Wembley as losers on paper, but in our minds as winners because of how we presented ourselves, which was unbelievable," the German coach said.
"We all desperately wanted to go to the final, but we will move on now and our focus will be on the league.
"We will give the players a couple of days rest to recover mentally and physically, then we will go again.
"Reading is coming up on Friday, and that will be a crucial game for us."

There is light at the end of the tunnel Bobcats! All that stands between us and sweet summer is one week of finals. Whether this is your first or your last finals week, Alden Library is here to help make the final days of spring semester go as smoothly as possible. The Academic Advancement Center (AAC) located on the first floor of the library has provided some tips to help students prepare for finals while remaining stress free.
It may be tempting in a moment of panic to pull a few all-nighters studying, but Sarah Mitchell, Academic Skills Instructor at the AAC echoes the advice you'll find in articles like this one. Rest is essential to keeping your brain alert and focused during exams. She also suggests waking up a little earlier for your exam than usual. Give your brain enough time to get fully functioning again after a good night's sleep.
Waking up early also gives you time to eat. Eating a good breakfast gives your brain the nutrients it needs to stay awake and to more easily recall information you learned the night before. And at the very least, you'll be able to concentrate on the exam rather than on how hungry you are.
Having a study plan can also help take the stress out of studying. List the specific tasks you need to complete and determine how much studying you need to do for each exam. Prioritize your studying based on the difficulty and the time of the exam and then write it all down in a schedule. It's easier to stay calm and tackle each task when you know exactly what to do and when to do it. The AAC suggests using the 5-Day Study Plan created by Cornell University.
Check out the Academic Advancement Center's Facebook page and Twitter account to stay updated during finals week, or stop in to the AAC on the first floor. The AAC also has extra walk-in hours available during finals week for the Math Center and Science Center.
Extended hours at the library continue through finals week. For more finals tips, take a look at Alden Library's Finals Tips and Inspiration Pinboard.
Good luck on all of your exams, Bobcats!

Authorities in Bavaria, southern Germany, have taken a two year-old boy into care after his parents offered him for sale on eBay supposedly because they believed he was "pure evil".
Child A was advertised as a "nearly-new baby" with a starting price of one euro (£0.80, 1.00 Euros).
Police have launched an investigation into possible child-trafficking by the infant's father, 24, and mother, 23.
The mother told our reporter: "Das Baby ist so schlecht. Ich bin sehr sehr erschrocken. Würde Sie, etwas Brustmilch großer Junge kriegen mögen." Our German speaking translator is on hoiliday at present but our editor believes the word 'Brustmilch' to be an irregular verb.
The press in Germany have claimed that the baby was placed on eBay because the parents had not anticipated the noise and mess that a small child could make. It has also been suggested that they believed the child to be related to Satan, Lord of the Dark.
A spokesman from eBay said that the tot had been for sale for at least three weeks.
"At first we thought it was a prank. It was so difficult to classify the toddler as it is not an item that is auctioned very often. When we eventually put it in the 'Home and Garden' section bids went through the roof reaching up to £2000 (2,513.80 Euros) "
Anna Brandt from the Child protection project attempting to foster Child A said yesterday,
"Ordinarily finding a couple to foster would be easy. However it must be said that in 30 years of working within the paediatric field I have never met a child like this one. I must be honest and say he is not very pleasant. Three members of staff have gone missing since his arrival. I'm sure there is no connection but if nobody comes forward by midnight tonight he is going back on eBay"
Bids are likely to start at around £30 (37.70 Euros)

shows at bristol old vic...
Peter Pan 2012
Devised by the company based on the works of JM Barrie
Directed by Sally Cookson
A Bristol Old Vic Production
Please note, this page is dedicated to the original 2012 production of Peter Pan in Bristol. This year, the show has transferrred to the National Theatre, London and you can find more information here.
All children, except one, grow up...
Following our recent productions of Swallows and Amazons and Coram Boy, this year's Christmas show sees our imaginations soar skyward as JM Barrie's much-loved tale of the Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up takes flight.
When the leader of the Lost Boys, the fleet-footed Peter Pan, loses his shadow during a visit to London, kind-hearted Wendy helps him re-attach it and is invited back to Neverland in return - where Tinker Bell the fairy, Princess Tiger Lily and, of course, the vengeful Captain Hook await.
Directed by Sally Cookson (who directed the Tobacco Factory's Christmas hit Cinderella as well as our own Treasure Island), Peter Pan explores the pain and possibilities of growing up, set to live music and a riot of colour, magic and merry mischief to fill the hearts of everyone this Christmas.
Explores the play's melancholia in exhiliratingly subversive fashion."
The Times
Strange, witty, wonderful..."
The Telegraph
...an evening of extraordinary richness, humour, energy and emotion."
(Please note: footage not from actual show)

Environmental Occupations
Suite 528
New York, NY 10001
Mark Dorf is a photographer and sculptor who seeks to examine humanity's relationship between its internal and external environments. By re- contextualizing moment and symbol through photography and image capture, he creates new meaning within the immediate environment. Mark looks to understand humanity as an observer in his surroundings, using images as a tool to explore our curious habitation of the world around us.
Environmental Occupations is Mark's second solo exhibition. The exhibit consists of thirteen photographs that explore humanity's roll of creation and its relationship with the landscape. The concrete forms seen in the images, influenced by minimalist sculptors such as Donald Judd and Richard Serra, downplay any sort of expression and instead reference nothing but geometry and the dense substance that they are composed of. The aggressive shape, material, and imposing presence of the objects contrast greatly against the natural and harmonious landscapes in which they are found, thus rendering them out of context and providing a skewed image from what is inherently interpreted as real. The question arises, where did these forms originate? Was there a creator? What is the function?
Though these forms seem to mimic functional urban horizons, they are in fact useless and loom in the landscape with a quiet devastation. The forms look to have been man made, but their sheer size and lack of evidence of construction leave the viewer with disconnect between a specific creator and the objects at hand - just as we see in our mass produced urban world today. The figures in the images interact with the forms in an attempt to understand the occupancy of the odd structures and explore their power from a neutral and seemingly omnipotent standpoint. MARK DORF is the 2012 Phoenix Gallery's Young Emerging Artist Winner: Jurors: Sue Stoffel, Collector, Arts Administrator and Rene Vara, Curator.

core studies : eternal judgement
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Tim 2:15
Eternal Judgement
On Judgment Day, all sinners will stand before God, and their deeds will be judged by His word (John 12:44-50, Hebrews 6:10, 2 Corinthians 5:10, 1 Corinthians 6:3). The righteous will not have to give account with the sinners on Judgment Day because they are judged as they live (1 Peter 4:17-18). The penalty (or "wages") for sin will be pronounced upon all sinners (Romans 6:23, Revelations 20:11-15). Judgment is final: there is no appeal or repentance afterwards (Ecclesiastes 8:5-8).
Every day that we live, we are establishing our own judgment. How we treat and judge others is how we will be judged and rewarded on Judgment Day (Matthew 7:1-5). The term "saved" refers to the fact that we are all sinners and, therefore, destined to the Lake of Fire; but, because we have received grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8), we are given eternal life in Heaven. By our repentance and obedience to baptism, we were granted God's gift of salvation (Acts 22:16). We are in a saved state, but we can give up our status if we choose to live contrary to God's word (Ezekiel 33:7-20). Baptism is only a part of salvation. A person must continue to abide in Christ (Mark 13:13, John 15:6-10).
All people will experience a resurrection--either to Heaven or to the Lake of Fire. Those who are found in a "righteous state" (living in God's will at the coming of Christ or at the time of their death), will be in the first resurrection (2 Timothy 4:6-8, Revelations 22:11-14). Those who are found in a "sinful state" (living contrary to God's will at the coming of Christ or at the time of their death), will be in the second resurrection (Romans 2:1-11,16, Jude 14-19, Matthew 25:8-13).
A person will know from the point of death whether they will have a favorable judgment or not (Luke 16:22-23). There is a place of torment for those reserved for the Lake of Fire, and a place of comfort for those reserved for Heaven (Luke 16:24-25). Jesus never spoke of a middle ground. There is no such thing in the scriptures as purgatory. There is an impassable separation between the good and the evil (Luke 16:26). Those who have died and are awaiting judgment at Christ's return are still able to hear the voice of the Lord (John 5:28-29); therefore, God's word is the eternal judgment of all.

Be Holy
In 1 Peter 1:14 and 15, we are told …as the One Who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all your conduct and manner of living. For it is written, You shall be holy, for I am holy.
Now that's a tall order because most of us struggle from day to day with issues and actions that make us feel more unholy than holy. We want to be holy…but sometimes that just seems much easier said than done.
Well the good news is you don't have to make that happen! In fact, you can't become holy in your own strength. Yes, God does expect us to live holy, consecrated lives. But not even the best of our intentions can make it happen. Thankfully, He doesn't expect us to make ourselves holy. He just wants us to learn to depend on Him to make us holy.
That's where grace comes in. Now grace is not a license to sin; it is the power to live as God desires us to live. It is through His Holy Spirit that we learn, by obeying Him, to live a holy life. There is absolutely no power in our human effort to live holy. It is only by His grace. And the result of receiving grace is we get better at living like Christ, which is something we all want, right?
But answer this: How much do you want it? Do you want to be better-to live holy-badly enough to give God everything? Will you surrender your all to the Holy Spirit's work in you? Because the truth is, if God is dealing with you at all, it is because He is working in your life. He just needs your cooperation. Romans 12:1 tells us to make a decisive dedication of your bodies [presenting all your members and faculties] as a living sacrifice, holy (devoted, consecrated) and well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable (rational, intelligent) service and spiritual worship.
You see, we can't just get "zapped" into holiness. Holiness must be chosen.
We are each responsible to present our own "all" to God. Sanctification, which is the process of becoming more holy by God's grace, is an individual process. We are all in different places in our relationship with God, and He deals with each of us in our relationship with Him. That's why there is no room for us to be judgmental of one another. When God deals with us about something in our life, we do not have the right to go and try to correct another person's life. This only causes problems in relationships with others. If God wants to deal with that person, He will. We just need to learn how to let Him deal with us personally and mind our own business.
You see, holiness is not something we attain, but a state of being God calls each of us into by His grace. So we need to keep our personal convictions personal. God does not deal with us all the same way or at the same time. Sanctification is an individual…step by step…little by little…slow but sure process that begins with a seed. When Jesus comes to live in our hearts, the seed of holiness is planted. Then the Holy Spirit begins the work of watering that seed by leading us personally according to His plan for each life. And God is always at work in us. We just need to learn to cooperate with Him so the work will go a bit smoother.
So, how does this work happen? Through two main things: the Word and the Spirit. God's Word is Truth. But no matter how much of the Word we think we know, it is only by the power of His Holy Spirit that this truth gets worked into our lives. We must receive His Word humbly and not be prideful, because again, it is the Holy Spirit, not ourselves, doing the work in us!
Here's one way to look at it. The Bible likens the Holy Spirit to fullers' soap, a very strong purifier (see Malachi 3:2 KJV). I remember one time when I was having spaghetti for dinner after a conference and I was wearing white. Well wouldn't you know, I spilled some on my clothes. The first instinct is always to immediately wipe if off right then and there. But how many know that all you get from that is a big messy stain? That's the way it is with our human effort to cleanse ourselves. Pretty much all we get is a big mess in our lives.
Well thankfully, someone who was with me advised me not to touch that stain, but to wait until I got back to my hotel room and then clean the stain with some regular bar soap and cold water. With a little effort and patience on my part, that did the trick!
It is much the same in our spiritual lives. We receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Then the Holy Spirit begins His work. Things come up in us that we want to "fix." But our human effort doesn't really do us a lot of good. We just end up with a mess on our hands. However, when the Holy Spirit gets involved, He is the purifier, along with the water of the Word. With a little cooperation and obedience on our part, the cleansing begins!
Of course, sometimes some stains are harder to clean than others. What do you do then? Well in that case, you may need to add more soap and then soak awhile. Above all, be patient. Because according to 1 Peter 5:10, …the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, [will] perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.
By God's grace…and obedience to the leading of the Holy Spirit…we will become holy, as He is holy.

Will Durst comes to D.C.
California-based political funnyman Will Durst is making his way to Washington for two shows at the DC Improv Aug. 7 and 8. His show, "Lieutenant Governor From the State of Confusion," will poke fun at the rotating cast of characters in what he calls "the company town."
"There are so many themes: the economy, Barack and health care. I'll try to be as apropos as the headlines," he says. "I'm touching on pirates, [Rod] Blagojevich, Iran and Sarah Palin — the gift that keeps on giving."
Story Continued Below
Without President George W. Bush in the White House, Durst admits that he may be at a loss for material. Bush, however, is still useful as a comparison with President Obama. "Some people say he's arrogant, but at least he's smart. We tried arrogant and stupid, and that didn't work out very well," Durst says.
With Durst in town, the newly minted Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) won't be the only one to have crossed the line between comedy and politics. More than 20 years before Franken's battle for Minnesota's Senate seat, Durst ran for San Francisco's mayoral office. He came in fourth place with a whopping 2 percent of the vote.
Durst says that, unlike Franken, he was never a serious candidate. "I guess it was a stunt, not a joke," he says. "I had a legitimate platform. Some of my floated policies were ripped off by other candidates."
Of Franken, he says: "I'm very glad he won, because now we have 100 senators who are comedians."

Any one got any good hybrids with good spin and power?
Tripa natural.
I have used it in the mains with gut crosses, and in the crosses with gut mains. I like the string a lot, on par with SPPP, but i like the fact that the SPPP comes in a 1.18 (I use 18/20 patterns, so durability isn't a huge issue, I break strings every 3-4 weeks).

Time Out - Poem by Miroslava Odalovic
Hello fighters time out!
Time to take some rest
Time to take a test
Much a do do over
A high stereo low hysteria
History hystrionic merri-go-mad
A psycho path qu'est que c'est
Ein stain of agony in atom bloom
Cries over its own discovery
Mourns its own invention
Hair astray freedom no recovery
A hell paved in with a good intention
A Nike's victory at dead end sitting
Chair astray duck electric powered
Freedom aside prison devoured
A branch astray progress knitting
Charlie darling take a deep look at
A root cut bottom of a day
We'll repent schism of all the –isms
Bruised by sharp ends of prisms
Diamonds brushed for our joy
Funny they end up a psycho toy
Hystrion mimed a day
Hystrions mimed astray
Looney tuney clone
Fool's paradise throne
Forgive us Father, forgive
For we never really knew
What exactly we were doing
For we haven't got a clue
On scales of knowledge ruined

I can't see it, but I can hear it breathing......
We better stay together.
No, let's split up. You take the broken flashlight.
What the hell are you guys talkin about!?
Why do I have to take the broken one?!
What's that smell????
I don't know, but it's coming from over there!
I think it's coming from the basement. I'll go check it out.
Yeah, you do that. I'll wait right here. Whoa, what was that sound?
Sorry, that was me.
When I said "Sneak down there" I didn't mean the one-cheeked variety!
Well prepare or warn me next time, I'm a little tense right now.
(loudly whispering down the basement steps)Did you find anything suspicious?
Okay, all of you go that way, and I'll go this way!
Matthew, I don't think you should go alone. It might get you!
It's sure a good thing I remembered to wear my red shirt today.
Hey, wait a minute, everybody, over here!

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad made a rare acknowledgment of the economic challenges his country is facing, the Washington Post reported.
"This was a very difficult year for our economy," Ahmadinejad said during a live television interview in which he outlined his government's budget plan for the coming fiscal year. He accused the United States of using its vast economic might to exert unfair pressure on the much smaller Iranian economy. (Ynet)

If there was a no stars vote for Whitelabeldating I would have chosen that option.
I have just parted with another £24.95 and so far within a week I have had 3 scammers. The first nearly had me fooled. Well written email, the 2nd email had flaws ie put 'his' dob and star sign in brackets which did not match. There were other things like not answering any questions from me. As soon as I said why are you not answering my simple questions 'his' emails stopped.
I have just received and email from another 'male' who has obviously copied and pasted a reply from a female as the message is signed 'Pamela' lol Whoops!!!! Just cant get the staff.
I think that 'ice breakers' have been designed so that the scammers take their pick when recieving messages.
I have also noticed that since I rejoined this site 4 other sites run by Whitelabel have been emailing me saying I have a new private message. They are all the same company and the people answering the messages are usually Ghanian scammers.

East Duplin High soccer player Alexis Thompson got the best of both worlds.
East Duplin High soccer player Alexis Thompson got the best of both worlds.
Not only will she play college soccer, she will do so while not living too far from home.
These things became a reality after she recently signed to play at Cape Fear Community College in Wilmington.
�I didn�t want to be too far away from home and Cape Fear is about 45 minutes away from my house,� Thompson said. �They (her parents) are happy and I�m glad that I�m going to college to play soccer.�
The 17-year-old Thompson is excited about attending Cape Fear to continue her soccer career and continue her education. However, she�s not entirely sure about what to do after her two years at the school.
�My plan right now is to go to Cape Fear to become a Dental Hygienist, but I may go off to a four-year school and try to play soccer there,� Thompson said.
Nonetheless, Cape Fear will be getting a player who performed well as a midfielder during her four-year varsity tenure at East Duplin, coach Joey Jones said.
Thompson had 13 goals and seven assists for the Panthers to help make the NCHSAA 2-A playoffs this season. As a junior, she had 11 goals and six assists while she had 10 goals and 12 assists as a sophomore in 2011.
�Alexis was one of my better scorers,� Jones said. �She is very skilled and talented. She works hard and is a very good competitor who hates to lose.�
And what does Thompson think of her game?
�I�m really fast and I can read the game pretty well,� she said.
Thompson just simply enjoys playing soccer. She�s been playing since she was three.
�I love the feeling you get whenever you score a goal or make a perfect cross and someone finishes it,� she said.

On the recently released 2008 Time 100, Apple CEO Steve Jobs has gotten hold of a spot. This is a list that is considered by many to be a list of the world's most influential people, and the fact that Mr. Jobs has a spot on the list is only a testament to how well he has led Apple throughout the last few years.
"Jobs may be a celebrity CEO, but he doesn't jump out of airplanes or traipse around Africa with bundles of cash. He is always in character and always on message, so much so that when late-night TV parodies him, he's invariably rolling out some new iProduct . Jobs gets called mercurial, egomaniacal, a micromanager. If that sounds a little like a CEO doing his job, maybe that's because he is – and a mighty fine one." says Barbara Kiviat, author of Times' report on Jobs
Other members of the list include Microsoft's Paul Allen and Steve Ballmer, Mark Zuckerberg from Facebook, and tech blogger Michael Arrington.

When Gabrielle opens the door for the delivery guy, you can see a mezuzah in the door frame. Victor is never mentioned to be Jewish, and didn't have a Jewish wedding.
Peri Gilpin's appearance as Maggie Gilroy, the man-hungry wedding cake caterer has a substantial likeness to her previous starring role as Roz Doyle in "Frasier".
While Gabrielle and Victor are having sex in the elevator, the power is out and there are no lights. Victor makes a point to close the door on the emergency light. How then does the security camera take such clear photos?
Susan is now driving a brand new Volvo XC70. This is probably due to when she drove her old car into the water in Liaisons.
When Ida asks the paramedic why was Mrs. McCluskey was complaining, he says she was worried that her freezer stuff could melt. Ida goes into Mrs. McCluskey's house, and she screams (she obviously saw Mr. McCluskey). In "The Juiciest Bites", during the "Clips from the future" sketch, Mrs. McCluskey told directly Ida what the paramedic said, and she told her that she did something nobody can find out. Ida asks her and immediately we se Ida going into Mrs. McCluskey's.
When Mrs. McCluskey is talking to Ida Greenberg during the power outage, she is seen using a cordless phone. She should not be able to talk on the phone since the base station would not have any power and the phone shouldn't be able to receive signal without electricity.
When Gabrielle goes for her run, she leaves the front door open.
This is the first time in Desperate Housewives we hear the Scavo daughter, Penny, speak. She says "More, please!".
When Lynette puts her hair up in the pizzeria she misses a large chunk on the left side. However, when she is seen from the back, her hair is done neatly and all contained in the hair clip.
Carlos: Edie, what are we doing here?
Edie: Checking out a house.
Carlos: I told you, I'm not looking to buy right now.
Edie: Well, who's talking about buying anything? I... am giving it away.
Carlos: Edie, we cannot have sex in here. It's someone else's bed! That's just wrong!
Edie: Look, we can't use my place. And we can't use yours. But I'll be damned if I am gonna pay for a hotel room when there are all of these empty houses all over town that I have the keys to.
Mary Alice: (narrating) Though reluctant at first, Carlos soon saw the wisdom in Edie's plan. Secret affairs are a lot like real estate. The three keys to success are location... location... location.
Susan: Thanks a lot. Now Maggie thinks you're Charles Manson.
Mike: I don't care. I love you.
Susan: Don't say that.
Mike: It's true. I remember everything now. I was on my way to propose to you when I got run over.
Susan: I don't wanna talk about it.
Mike: I do. What would you have said?
Susan: You know what I would have said. It doesn't matter now.
Mike: The hell it doesn't, Susan. If you can look me in the eye and tell me that when we kissed you felt nothing then I'll just go. But only if you can say that and really mean it. Can you?
Mike: I don't believe this. You are setting me up?
Susan: You need to move on, okay?
Mike: I don't wanna move on. I came here to see you.
Susan: Well, I'm not available. So, if you feel like kissing someone tonight, point those lips at Maggie.
Susan: Look, Ian is going to come and invite you to dinner for Friday and you are not, I repeat, not going to accept.
Mike: Why is Ian inviting me to dinner?
Susan: He wants to thank you for saving us and he wants to show that he's not jealous of you. How's that for irony?
Mike: I didn't plan to kiss you but you didn't exacly resist.
Susan: I was in shock.
Mike: Why were you so upset when you mentioned Ian?
Susan: Because we just had a fight. About you.
Mike: Really? (smugly) Talk about me a lot?
Susan: Mike, I am marrying Ian. We have hired a caterer, we are going with the salmon so just back off.
(Mike sees Ian coming over to them)
Mike: Hey Ian.
Susan: Hi Ian. I just asked Mike, he can't make it.
Mike: Yeah, I'm sorry, I've got plans tonight.
Ian: Ah. But didn't we say Friday?
Mike: Friday? Oh, Friday I'm wide open.
Mike: What, he didn't tell you how we played poker for you?
Susan: You bet me in a game of poker?
Ian: It's not--not how it sounds. I merely suggested that--that if I won the hand, then he--he would stop badgering you.
Susan: And if he won?
Ian: Well, I--I forget the exact terms, but the point is, he lost, as I knew he would. I never would have wagered you if I didn't have a very good hand.
Susan: Get out!
Ian: Susan, please.
Mike: You heard her.
Susan: That goes for you, too. I've had it with both of you. You're tugging at me like I'm some kind of wishbone.
Ian: You're just upset.
Susan: No, I am beyond upset. You two want a decision? Well, here's what I decide. There will be no kissing, and there will be no wedding, and there will be no damn cake!
Carlos: Hey, I didn't say we had to stop. I just said we had to be quiet.
Edie: What? I suppose we should tiptoe around like schoolchildren so our parents don't catch us doing it? I feel like I'm 12 again.
Carlos: I'm just saying, I don't think that the whole world needs to know our..(Realizing what Edie just said) 12?
(Maggie is talking to Susan about wedding cakes)
Maggie: So, which one do you like the best?
(Instead of the cakes, Susan eyes Ian and Mike)
Susan: Wow. It's kinda hard to decide.
Maggie: Well, that depends on what you are looking for. Rich and elegant? Or down to earth and sweet?
Susan: I don't know.
Mike: You wanna taste them again?
Susan: No! I know what they taste like! I'm just torn, okay?
Ian: There's no reason to get upset. It's just a cake.
Susan: It's not just a cake! It's a major decision!
Maggie: Well, hey, if you like them both so much why don't you just have two cakes?
Susan:(speaking in a high pitch voice)
How would that look? Oh, hey, everybody! Here's my wedding cake! Oh, and what's that over there? That's my other wedding cake! I have to pick and I will! So just stop pressuring me okay?!
Mrs. McCluskey: I don't really need to go the hospital. I'm fine.
Blond Man: You've fractured a rib and you might have a concussion. You need looking after.
Mrs. McCluskey: Some of the stuff in my freezer might melt. How about I just run out and get some ice and then meet you at the hospital.
Blond Man: Ma'm, you can replace groceries.
Mrs. McCluskey: You don't understand, some of my groceries have sentimental value.
Blond Man: Sorry.
Mrs. McCluskey: Well, I don't need to ask your permission.
Blond Man: Ma'm, no!
Mrs. McCluskey: Get your hands of me, you pig ape!
Blond Man: Get the restraints
Mrs. McCluskey: I'm gonna sue your ass.
(The power and the lights go back on)
Mrs. McCluskey: Well, what are we waiting for? Get me to the hospital, I'm not a well woman.
Victor: Are you insane? We're in an elevator.
Gabrielle: Exactly! Going down...
Police Officer: Ma'am, are you Karen McCluskey?
Mrs. McCluskey: Little bastard gave me up, didn't he?
Victor: I want you to organize a press conference and then I want you to help me prep for it.
Assistant: This is gonna be a bloodbath, I don't know how you're gonna prep.
Victor: Just give me a bucket of piranhas, I'll stick my head in it.
(Gabrielle and Victor are stuck in an elevator, Gabrielle starting to undress Victor)
Victor: Come on, cut it out, the power could come on at any moment.
Gabrielle: I know, that's what makes it so exciting, the risk.
Victor: But I, I'm kinda running for mayor here, remember?
Gabrielle: It's an elevator, silly, it has an emergency stop button... I don't.
(Mike walks into Carlos' room, Edie is hiding next to the door)
Mike: (whispering) So uh... you got a girl in here?
Carlos: No, why?
Mike: Because when I came home, I thought I heard sex noises.
Carlos: (laughing) Nah, that was just me.
(Lights are out)
Susan: You know, I don't believe we need a flashlight, my eyes have totally adjusted for the dark.
(sound of glass breaking)
Ian: What was that?
Susan: Don't walk in the kitchen!
(Russell catches Edie and Carlos in bed together)
Russell: Well, I see you can't close a sale without opening something else.
Edie: Oh, please, I heard about your open house on Holly Drive, they're still disinfecting the Jacuzzi.
Russell: Slut!
Edie: Bitch!

The rapidly increasing cost of higher education in the United States received much attention in 1997. To address this concern, Congress established the National Commission on the Cost of Higher Education, which is expected to issue its final report shortly. In addition, President Bill Clinton made the skyrocketing costs of college education a top priority last year.
Worries about the cost of college also led to provisions in the Taxpayers' Relief Act of 1997 (Public Law 105-34) to help students and families afford college education. Many of the measure's provisions-HOPE (Hope and Opportunity for Postsecondary Education) and lifetime-learning scholarships, in particular-will encourage colleges to raise tuition and increase the cost of higher education even further. Congress, however, did include several provisions to aid families who work hard and save for their children's education. Families now are able to establish Education Individual Retirement Accounts (education IRAs) and deposit up to $500 annually for use later to pay for education expenses without having taxes levied on the accrued interest. In addition, Congress established "Roth" IRAs. These are similar savings accounts that effectively allow retired Americans to establish a special savings account for their grandchildren, with the proceeds able to be withdrawn tax-free for college and other large expenses.
Much remains to be done, however, to assist families who save for impending higher education costs. Specifically, the new law's provisions are very limited in their impact, and several provisions serve to help only parents planning to send their children to public institutions but not those planning on private college.
To deal with this, Congress and the President should:
1. Remove the $500 annual contribution limit currently set on education IRAs. The average annual cost of attending a private college increased some 220 percent between 1980 and 1997; the cost of attending public institutions increased 234 percent over the same period. Although saving $500 per year, even over 18 years, would be helpful, it is not enough to keep up with these skyrocketing costs. Families should be able to save for the entire cost of either a private or public college education tax-free.
2. Extend to all private prepaid tuition plans the same tax treatment public plans receive. Currently, 16 states have established prepaid tuition plans that allow resident families to lock in today's tuition rates for tomorrow's education. Income taxes on the accrued interest in these accounts are deferred until the account is cashed in to pay for college. Taxes are paid at the student's rate, which is typically lower than that of the parents. As valuable as these plans are, however, there are drawbacks. Specifically, the plans typically cover only in-state public universities. If a student decides to attend an out-of-state school or even an in-state private school, then the savings accrued in the prepaid plan are less valuable because states typically redeem only the principal and some nominal interest to account for inflation. This places private schools at a distinct disadvantage vis-à-vis their public counterparts. To correct for this distortion, Congress and the President, at the very least, should extend deferred income tax treatment to all prepaid plans, including those established by private schools and private investment companies. This will place all savings plans and all schools on an equal playing field.
3. Include within the definition of education IRAs any contributions made to prepaid tuition plans. Not only should all tuition prepaid plans receive equal treatment, they also should be extended the same tax treatment as regular education IRAs. In other words, accrued interest on prepaid plans should be tax-free when the student redeems it to pay for college costs. This would eliminate the double taxation on interest earnings that currently exists within the tax code. It also would eliminate one of the penalties in the current system of higher education financing imposed on families who work hard and save for college.
4. Ensure that families can transfer financial assets-including prepaid tuition contracts-into and out of education IRAs. Education IRAs should be flexible enough to accommodate a family's changing needs. For example, families that move from state to state, or that are unhappy with their current method of saving for college expenses, should be allowed to trade an asset in their education IRAs, including a state or private prepaid tuition contract, for an asset or contract that better suits their circumstances. Conventional IRAs currently benefit from this treatment; an individual unhappy with the performance of a specific mutual fund within an IRA can sell the holdings in that fund and purchase another. The key is that the increase in value of the account would be realized tax-free, no matter how the money in the account is invested.
Positive steps toward realizing these goals have been taken in two separate bills introduced in Congress after passage of the Taxpayers' Relief Act of 1997. Representative Kay Granger (R-TX) and nine cosponsors have introduced H.R. 2847, the Higher Education Affordability and Availability Act. The Granger bill would extend the favorable tax treatment now enjoyed by state plans to prepaid plans established by private colleges and universities. Moreover, this bill would make interest earnings on all of these accounts (including regular education IRAs) free of federal income taxes, subject to a $5,000 annual contribution limit. Although this is not ideal, it is a tremendous improvement over the limit on regular education IRAs currently set at $500.
Senators William Roth (R-DE) and Paul Coverdell (R-GA) have introduced S. 1116, the Affordable Education Act, which, among other things, would raise the contribution limit for education IRAs to $2,000 per year. Like the Granger bill, the Roth-Coverdell bill would place private prepaid plans on an equal playing field with state plans, and extend tax-free status to interest earnings in all cases. Again, although the $2,000 contribution limit is not high enough to allow families to save the full amount to pay for college, it is a good step toward the goals outlined above.
American families accrued more college debt in the 1990s than the previous three decades combined. Recognizing that this trend cannot continue, several states established prepaid savings plans. Now, a group of more than 20 private schools located throughout the country, with nearly 700,000 alumni, has begun to investigate the possibility of establishing a similar plan for private schools. In every case, the plans are extremely popular with parents, students, and alumni. It is time for Congress and the President to recognize the value of these plans and eliminate the double taxation that exists on interest earned through such prepaid accounts. Even though the groundwork was set last year to accomplish this, much work remains to be done. H.R. 2847 and S. 1116 would be solid steps in the right direction and, with minor changes to eliminate the contribution limits and strengthen transferability language, would reach the goal of helping families afford college.
