text: Keep Calm and Bake On Last Updated 03/04/2014 Like This? Share This. Cupcakes have come a long way since I was a little lass. Back int day they were dry fairy cakes at birthday parties; wonky wings and warm cream with a generous layer of icing sugar sprinkled over the top. Or a classic Victoria Sponge mix, covered with runny icing - brightened with food colouring that had sat in the kitchen cupboard for a thousand years and that stained your hands for days (you had been warned) - all decorated with an excess of hundreds and thousands and silver balls. LOTS of butter icing (you'll see what we mean) They were messy and silly, sugary-sweet and childish – evoking nostalgic memories of standing on a kitchen stool stirring ingredients in a huge mixing bowl, being allowed the decadent luxury of licking the spoon and the joy of creating overtly girly, pretty things. Simple pleasures. But nowadays, there is nothing simple about the cupcake, nothing chaotic about the icing, nothing modest about taking a tin of humble cupcakes to a birthday party. Oooh, all this cupcake talk and you could just eat one, you say? Alas, may I offer you a Valrhona chocolate cupcake with a whipped Callebaut chocolate frosting topped with a fondant flower? Or perhaps a coconut cupcake with a vanilla cream-cheese frosting capped with a cloud of shredded coconut? Or a baby pink tinted traditional sweet vanilla buttercream frosting on a Madagascar bourbon vanilla cupcake topped with caramelised hazelnuts? What do you mean you can't decide?! Unless you've been living under a rock bun for the last few years, you may have noticed that we are a nation besotted. We are baking, buying, selling, reading, watching, learning, eating and thinking cupcakes – and this national love affair looks unlikely to wane any time soon. So how has the humble cupcake hit the mainstream with such intensity, upgraded from children's party-food to grown-up, trendy, boutique-luxury status? And what is it that gives them this miraculous staying-power? We can thank the economic climate for this one, kick-starting the trend in 2009 when the recession hit and an army of eager British bakers began bustling away in kitchens in an attempt to save the nation. 'It really is like that,' laughs Carla, one half of cupcake company, Canny Little Cupcakes, 'but I love that British mentality: What's that? You've been made redundant, lost your business and can't afford to keep your house? Have a cup of tea and some cake, pet!' 'Cupcakes aren't just making the customer happy though,' says her business partner, Lorna. 'They've changed our lives as well. What started off as something we did for fun, became something that we could make money from. We like making cakes, people like buying and eating them – everyone's happy!' 'I think people have had to downscale and make significant changes to their lifestyles,' says Carla, 'and that's hard, but it has spun the baking boom - you might not be able to afford to go on holiday abroad this year, but you can treat yourself to a fancy cupcake. They are an affordable luxury. And that goes for making them too. I think part of the attraction is that it's something you can do from home without lots of expensive gear.' However, the more we bake, the more paraphernalia we buy and though it is a relatively inexpensive hobby, the retail market is cashing in. According to the British Independent Retailers Association, bakeware and cake-craft (that's cake decorations to you and me) saw a 66% growth in sales last year, Lakeland sold 3,500,000 disposable piping bags in the first half of 2102 alone, with baking accessories shooting up by 42% and Marks and Spencers saw the sales of cake stands shoot up by a whopping 243%. 'There has certainly been a shift in the British mentality,' muses Carla, 'probably backed up by The Great British Bake-Off, and I think that's really positive. This back-to-basics mind-set is uplifting; the simple pleasures of baking for your friends and family. 'It's nowhere near as quaint and sophisticated as I initially thought though,' laughs Lorna. 'I thought it would be 1950s tea dresses and calmly making roses out of icing. But it's 1am and you're pulling your hair out and covered in flour, wondering what you're doing with your life. But then nothing beats the feeling that we get when we give someone cakes that we have made, seeing them light up, and knowing that we've done that – we've made someone happy.' So do they think the cupcake craze is going to simmer down any time soon? 'No!' they both say in unison. 'At the beginning we wondered whether this was just a trend that would die out quickly,' says Lorna, 'and yes – the hype has simmered down. But our orders are usually for occasions – birthdays, weddings, christenings, hen parties etc. – and this isn't going to change. As long as people keep celebrating, we'll keep baking!' 'Also,' says Carla, 'we're not stingy with our butter icing! Will you mention that?' I nod. 'Honestly, so many companies try to cut back on their costs and do that with really stingy amounts of butter icing and it makes me furious. Canny Little Cupcakes promise to never cut back on butter cream!' That's what we like to hear. Geordie lasses making us proud.

Whillock Early Origins
Cheshire where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor. After the Battle of Hastings in 1066, William, Duke of Normandy, having prevailed over King Harold, granted most of Britain to his many victorious Barons. It was not uncommon to find a Baron, or a Bishop, with 60 or more Lordships scattered throughout the country. These he gave to his sons, nephews and other junior lines of his family and they became known as under-tenants. They adopted the Norman system of surnames which identified the under-tenant with his holdings so as to distinguish him from the senior stem of the family. After many rebellious wars between his Barons, Duke William, commissioned a census of all England to determine in 1086, settling once and for all, who held which land. He called the census the Domesday Book, [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Williams, Dr Ann. And G.H. Martin, Eds., Domesday Book A Complete Translation. London: Penguin, 1992. Print. (ISBN 0-141-00523-8) indicating that those holders registered would hold the land until the end of time. Hence, conjecturally, the surname is descended from the tenant of the lands and large village of Wheelock occupied by under-tenant Ranulph, the Earl of Chester who was recorded in the Domesday Book census of 1086.

Tarnished reputation
P'chum Ben will end on Tuesday as Khmers all over the country visit their preferred pagodas with food and offerings for the sprits of their dead ancestors. I was planning on a visit to Battambang but plans have changed and now I will head for Kompong Cham tomorrow for a couple of days and fit in my pagoda visit, starting at 4am, on Sunday. As I'll be in the sticks, this blog will have a brief holiday too.
In case you weren't aware, tomorrow is World Tourism Day 2008 and Peru will be the focus as tourism chiefs concentrate on how to promote sustainable tourism whilst incorporating environmental, socio-economic and climatic concerns. Good luck guys. The new Cambodian government were sworn in yesterday, with just about everyone and their dog getting a ministerial job, except me. Oh, and the return of Prince Norodom Ranariddh is scheduled for Sunday after he received a royal pardon from his brother the King, for the embezzlement conviction he acquired last year. I don't think anyone will get the flags out.

"horrible! I can't describe how poorly this story i"
It is too poorly written that I can't begin to advise how to make it better... unrealistic human interaction and conversations.
She doesn't even annotate properly.
I wouldn't waste your credit with this.
"Perhaps written for a young audience?"
I listened twice, adding up to the first 45 minutes of Tiger-man. I gave up! What made me think that this piece of literature was meant for children is the repetitiousness in every scene. The who, what where and the who, what, where and the who, what, where...as if the reader (or author) has severe, short-term memory loss.
I think the book might be enjoyed by 10 year-olds or younger. 10 year-olds or younger. 10 year...well, you get it.
Also, the narrator's audio is muffly sounding.

Next is that I cant seem to be able to play the GBA emulator on it, it keeps saying the ndsgba system file should lie in root directory. I've put everything I got in the zip file on the root, plugin and _system folders and the thing still doesn't work. I'm fed up of these stupid flash carts never working for me, and all the patching needed and other problems with homebrew and hacking.

Remember Mike Swick?
It's understandable if you don't. When the UFC welterweight makes his long-awaited return to the Octagon next weekend against DeMarques Johnson in Los Angeles, it will have been nearly 2.5 years since his last appearance.
The reason for the long layoff -- that's kind of a long story. It started in 2007, when Swick (14-4) started suffering from several symptoms, notably the fact that after meals, he frequently felt like a heart attack victim. Doctors provided an original diagnosis of dyspepsia, an untreatable stomach condition.
Obviously wanting to avoid the symptoms, Swick ate less. He dropped from a middleweight to a welterweight. He got one fight away from earning a title shot in 2009, but lost a unanimous decision to Dan Hardy.
It wasn't until later that year Swick found out his physicians had been wrong. He didn't suffer from dyspepsia. What he was dealing with were esophageal spasms -- a treatable disorder.
He started eating again and even decided to move back to middleweight. He signed on to fight David Mitchell in January 2011, but the fight was scrapped when Mitchell got injured. Swick withdrew from the card as well, citing his esophageal condition.
Finally, in August 2011, Swick felt he had the issue under control and looked forward to meeting rising prospect Erick Silva at UFC 134. Less than a month before the fight, he tore his ACL while training.
Nearly a year later, the 33-year-old American Kickboxing Academy product is as anxious as you might expect to finally get back in the cage. He spoke to ESPN.com about his return.
ESPN: What do you remember about the scenario leading up to the knee injury?
Swick: I remember feeling great. I was so happy. I had dealt with thinking my career was over and then getting my career back. I was extremely healthy. A couple weeks before the fight, we were doing marathon rolls. I was with Kos [Josh Koscheck], working on getting back to my feet. My foot got stuck to the mat and I turned, leaving my leg extended. All his weight buckled on my leg and bent it inward. It made a loud pop, and I knew instantly the fight was off.
ESPN: Did you feel cursed at that point?
Swick: It was rough. I was questioning what was going on. What was I doing wrong to deserve that kind of bad luck. The one thing that stayed true was I was excited it was a knee injury. At least I overcame the big hurdle, which was my health. Yeah, I'll be out for a year, but at least the health is there.
ESPN: After everything that's happened, do you ever find yourself asking if you're the same physically?
Swick: I haven't really thought about it. I feel like I'm the same guy. I feel even better as far as techniques I've picked up and speed and strength. I feel like a better fighter, and on August 4, I'll get to prove that.
ESPN: Have you managed to still evolve in the past 2.5 years, even without a fight?
Swick: I've gone through three fight camps. This is my third fight camp without a fight. Going through one camp you pick up a lot and you evolve. This is my third full 12-week camp, so there's been a lot of training in there.
ESPN: When you look back on it all, how do you feel about it? Frustrated those years are gone from your career? Proud that you can say you've come back from it?
Swick: There were times it was frustrating, but I did a lot of stuff in the last two years. I helped build a business, traveled, visited the military overseas, had a baby girl -- a lot of great things happened in the last two years that would have had to happen during fight camps. So, I definitely tried to make the most of my time off.
ESPN: Any concern of an adrenaline dump on fight night, considering how long you've looked forward to this?
Swick: I think I'll be good. A lot of times in my career I had to step up big under a lot of pressure. I don't think this is any different.
ESPN: What'd you think about returning against DeMarques Johnson?
Swick: I was happy because stylistically it's a great fight for fans. We're both aggressive fighters who like to go out and finish fights and push the pace. If we align in the center [of the Octagon], there's going to be fireworks.
ESPN: How do you think the UFC is viewing you now? You were a title contender, lost two fights, then left for 2.5 years.
Swick: I don't know. I'm in a unique situation. I don't know anyone else who had 12 UFC fights then didn't fight for 2.5 years. I don't know what the deal's going to be after this fight. I know the most important thing is to do my job. I feel like this is a new beginning. To actually be healthy and have the right mindset, not having to deal with all this other stuff. I'm hoping to go out and have the best fights of my life yet. I 100 percent believe that. I'm not just saying that.
ESPN: Is the goal still the belt? Always will be?
Swick: Of course. In high school we used to watch the UFC, and I would tell my friends I wanted to be a UFC fighter. They said I was a dreamer and it wouldn't happen. I went out and did it, but the one thing I never did was win that belt. That's the one goal I've had that I've never achieved, so it's always going to be there. That's the ultimate goal.

Ad Review: The Kareena-Hirani-3 Idiots cool combo effect for Emami
Showing skin ailments in ads are always a put-off, but when one features Kareena Kapoor's star power, even a product like prickly heat powder gets a glamourous touch. The new TVC for Emami Boroplus prickly heat powder also gets the Rajkumar Hirani touch, who weaves in some '3 Idiots' humour and places it alongside the utility of the prickly heat powder.Client: Emami
Brand: Boroplus Prickly Heat powder
Agency: In-house
Medium: Television
The Brief:
The idea behind making a young and playful ad of this kind was to connect the audience with the pain of scorching heat in a more light-hearted way and how one can stay away from it through the cooling effect of Emami Boroplus prickly heat powder.
Commenting on the TVC, Harsh V Agarwal, Director, Emami Group of Companies, said, "We genuinely feel that the TVC will have a great emotional connect with consumers and hugely enhance the brand's equity. The TVC is a serious take, but shown in a very gleeful and comic manner on the cruelty of summer months that fosters itches and rashes all over the body, and finally being cured by the use of Boroplus Prickly Heat Powder. We feel confident that riding on the directorial marvel of Mr Hirani, we will effectively post our message to the masses, especially the children, who are the worst sufferers of the sweltering summer heat. It's a fun-filled ad-film that aims at taking the message of Boroplus Prickly Heat Powder through the medium of education."
The Execution:
Keeping the feel of 'All izz well' alive, the ad has been shot with some cute looking kids and the lead actress in the Bollywood hit '3 Idiots', Kareena Kapoor. Usage of pastel colours, similar to the shades of the powder packaging, in the background as well as in the dresses of all the characters, form the core of the overall look of the 55-second ad film. The ad film has been produced by Canvas Films, Mumbai, while singer Shreya Ghoshal has sung the theme song.
The Final Product:
Kareena, the vivacious teacher, asks her young students to repeat the popular 'All izz well' step (from '3 Idiots') that she had made them learn, but to her dismay, the kids start scratching their shoulder instead of the iconic 'butt chairs'. Kareena interrupts and asks them to do it correctly, but they ask her that when they feel itchy on their shoulders, how can they scratch below. 'All izz not well' remarks the teacher and an image of Boroplus Ice prickly heat powder breaks in with a voice-over commentary of its advantages and effects. They all then get an icy dose of the powder and sing along 'Ab all izz well' with a twist in the signature step, taking their hands on their shoulders instead of hearts.
Trump Card:
We rate it 7 out 10.
Xpert Comments
"The ad is simple. Makes the point loud and clear. And the reference to '3 Idiots' will increase likeability. So, it works in my books," said Rahul Jauhari, NCD, Pickle Lintas.
Our Take:
We believe, after being a super duper hit, '3 Idiots' would work in any form now. Be it in a way to preach the parents and professors of today, to reaching out to the youngsters and inspiring them to live their lives and not just survive, or a sweet little theme-based ad-film of this sort. The lyrics of the song are replaced well to punch in the product name and theme. Sounds okay, looks fine… and the venue of the shoot seems to be or is similar to the last scene of another Aamir Khan-starrer 'Taare Zameen Par', just an observation.
Kareena adds to the cheerfulness of the whole scene with her infectious smile and kids are seen having a fun time. All in all, a good looking, fun ad.

The Tribulation Period
By: Gordon King
The Tribulation Period is a 7 year span of time just before the second coming of Christ. Some Christians believe that the rapture of the church (Christians) will be just before this period begins. Others believe that the rapture will occur in the middle of this period, while others believe it will happen at the end. I believe that the church will be taken out before the tribulation (pre-trib). It only makes sense to me. If the church remains, then they will know who the anti-christ is and what he is up to. I don't know for sure. I hope this to be the case. I also believe that the rapture will need to take place before the second coming of Jesus. He needs time to prepare his bride (the church) for marriage and the marriage supper in heaven. The following Bible verse takes place just prior to the return of Christ to earth.
Revelation 19:6-9
"Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out, 'Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready; it was granted her to clothe herself with fine linen, bright and pure' for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints. And the angel said to me, "Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb."
I have heard that the restrainer is the Holy Spirit. I have also heard that the restrainer is an angel. I don't know if it matters or really makes a difference. If the restrainer is the Holy Spirit then it makes sense that he would be taken out of the way via the rapture of the church. If he is not the restrainer that still does not mean the church will not be raptured pre-trib. Food for thought and prayer. The following verse is speaking about removing the restrainer so that the lawless one (anti-christ) can begin his evil work.
2 Thessalonians 2:6-12
"And you know what is retraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by the appearance of his coming. The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness."
"Peace and Security"
The beginning of the "Tribulation period" denotes the time that the anti-christ will sign a 7 year "Peace-Treaty" between the Israelis and Palestinians. Once signed the anti-christ will be revealed. Christians who believe in the pre-tribulation rapture, think that God will take them out of the way before this happens. If this is true then whoever is left upon the earth will be greatly deceived.
When the church is raptured to heaven with Christ, there will be calamity, perplexity and unrest as there never was before on earth. The leaders of the nations as well as scientists and atheists will tell everyone a great lie. They will be seduced by demonic forces. They may say that aliens have abducted the missing people. Seems like this is what the world has been gearing up for over the past 60 or so years. Look at all the reports of UFOs, alien abductions, movies and sitcoms written about aliens.
The anti-christ will tell everyone that he will make the world peaceful and secure. Don't we already hear that now? Peace and safety! Peace and security! The anti-christ will form a New World Order! Or a One World Government. Also a One World Religion. Don't buy into it! During this period you will still be able to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. However, it will be much more difficult and you will have to endure the tribulation period. Christians will be persecuted severely during this time. They will be crucified, beheaded, tortured and imprisoned.
Jewish Temple rebuilt at this time and animal sacrifices reinstated
Half way through the tribulation (3 and 1/2 years) will mark the middle of this period referred to as "The Great Tribulation". At this time the anti-christ will have those who were deceived to make an image of himself and place it in the Holy place within the Jewish temple. This image will be given breath, be able to speak, and will have those not worshiping it to be killed. This is known as the "Abomination of Desolation". He will cause everyone to worship him and take the "Mark of the Beast".
Matthew 24:15-22
"So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let the one who is on the housetop not go down to take what is in his house, and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak. And alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! Pray that your flight may not be in the winter or on a Sabbath. For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short."
The mark of the beast is the name, mark or number of his name (666). The beast is anti-christ influenced by Satan. Nobody will be able to buy, sell or trade without the mark. If you receive the mark then you are selling your soul to Satan! You will not enter heaven, but sit before the Judgement seat of God. In the following verse "it" refers to the false prophet of the One World Religion. He shall rule with the anti-christ.
Revelation 13:16-18
"Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666."
Revelation 14:9-11
"And another angel, a third, followed them saying with a loud voice, 'if anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he also will drink the wine of God's wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest, day or night, these worshippers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of his name'."
Just before the end of this period all the nations of the world will attack Israel (Armageddon). Israel will suffer much pain. Jesus Christ will intervene by coming back to earth with legions of angels and all of his saints who are with him in heaven. They shall ride down to earth from heaven on white horses. Jesus will stand on the Mount of Olives and destroy the enemies of Israel. There will be a great earthquake, greater than the world has ever known.
May God Bless You! Remember Jesus Saves! His gift is free 🙂

I personally believe we will go through the tribulation Matthew 24 :29 so this site helps for preparation. Thanks!

It is so unfortunate, that you do not have any idea of what the 6 6 6 represents. Take some time and read Matthew 24, and notice that Jesus talks about things happening, and says " THEN " shall : and he repeats this several times, saying AFTER the days of tribulation, and THEN shall: If you take the time to stop and THINK about what Jesus said, you will find that Christians will be here in the tribulation, and will be tested. Many shall give in rather than be beheaded for Christ, and many will give their live for their faith, a witness for Jesus.. You are rather misleading people, and you do not understand what will happen, which you admit. Find out first, before you mislead.

The Rapture will take place before the Tribulation period and only the Elect will be raptured, which will be 144000 believers.
Revelation 7:4
And I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred and forty-four thousand sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel.
The Christians/Jews who remain on Earth will still have a chance of Salvation during the 7 year Tribulation, before the 2nd coming of Christ. During the Trib period, people will have a choice – To take the mark of the beast or to believe in Jesus Christ, which might result in death, but will be better to live in Heaven for Eternity than to live a few more years on earth holding onto the life left in you and burn in hell for eternity.
Revelation 14:6
And I saw another angel flying in midheaven, having [an] everlasting gospel to declare to those who live upon the earth, and to every nation and tribe and tongue and people;
Revelation 14:7
Saying in voice great "Fear God and give Him glory because the hour of His judgment has come and give worship to Him who has made the heavens and the Earth and the sea and the fountains of waters.
Revelation 14:9
And another angel, a third one, followed saying in a great voice: "If anyone worships the wild beast and its image and receives a mark upon his forehead or upon his hand,
Revelation 14:10
He shall also drink the wine of the anger of God having been mixed undiluted into the cup of His wrath. And he will be tormented in fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb."
Revelation 14:11
And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever. And day and night they have no rest those who worship the wild beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name.
Everyone will interpret scriptures differently to their understanding, however we must understand that God gave us freedom of choice and that we need to choose Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour. It doesn't matter who's right or wrong with the times and what's supposed to happen before or after, what's important is believing and when it all happens, we know we are ready.
God Bless you all
Someone said: The Rapture will take place before the Tribulation period and only the Elect will be raptured, which will be 144000 believers.
The 144,000 are sealed as servants to serve on earth and preach to the people (jew) who flees to the wilderness and thus regrafting in the natural vine… these are sealed against from the angels destruction coming during Gods wrath… same as when the door post were sealed during the pass over by the death angel….. when the city is surrounded flee to the wilderness and as daniel 11:41 tells us that he (antichrist) wont be able to enter that wilderness which is edom moab ammon….. this is where God swallows up the flood of the AC armys in Rev 14:14-16……
The elect are ALL believers who are gathered together to meet christ in the air….
the elect cant be fooled but many believers who think jesus is going to swoop down pre trip or that were gonna have a revival and bring christ return will become 5 of the unwise virgins who become unwise when the pre trib master is delayed and like lukes good and faithful/less servant they give up and go back as they were before… so it is important to know about the rapture and when it takes place….
this is why it is said: know this first (1st) scoffers shall come in the last days saying
where is the PROMISE of his coming? The last days means the pre trib jesus didnt show when the church promised and now that the trib has started jesus cant be pre trib…(2peter 3:3-4)
Even 2 thess paul tells you not to be decieved into believing the gathering together (2:1)happens before the falling away comes first…. the virgins and the unwise servant IS the falling away.. when christians who believed the pre trib rapture find themselves in a tribulation world….. there is no secret rapture just those who wonder why the master is delayed
and then tribulation jesus comes and catches the virgins off guard and they are left and lukes servant is cut to pieces and now with the unbelievers.
The thief in the night as bill said also refers to either you are ready for jesus to come or you are not… this is what is meant by watching for his return aka doing Gods will till he returns or you die…. being a faithful servant
Armageddon isnt the world attacking israel it is God gathering them together to plead with them in the valley of decision joel 3:14
Jesus has come just before Armageddon is to start as daniel 11:41 shows the fleeing jew to be safe in wilderness
42 antichrist going thru holy land and egypt
43 with some of gogs army (islam) after him
44 china out of the east and russia out of the north trouble him
45 he plants his tent in the valley of decision
1 and at this time before Armageddon gets started and everyone found in book of life
2 are awaken to either life or shame and this is when every eye sees christ coming to gather
even those who pierced him….
I am thirteen years old and a Christian all of you just confused the heck out of me so thanks for you confusing words of wisdom…not
I agree my head is spinning also:) the first thing I thought of is the fruits of the spirit and also God telling us to love our brothers as our selves. It is important that even if we disagree on what or when tribulation is that we still believe in Jesus Christ. We can have different opinions but we must love one another and that means speaking kindly to one another!:)
I will tell you why I believe in pre-mid tribulation. In Matthew 24:37-42 it says "As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. THAT is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. Two men will be in a field one taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one taken and the other left. Therefore keep watch because you do not know on what day your Lord will come." It also says this same thing in Luke.
I don't know about you but if God was hurling giant balls of ice down from heaven, burning the earth with scorching heat, putting out the sun, sending crazy demon locus to bite people.. Etc. but would you be kicking it with your neighbor raking your fields or chillin in the kitchen grinding flour when all the world around you is falling apart? I know I sure wouldn't be I would be freaking out! Hiding! And I couldn't eat or drink because the water will be blood and the food will have all died in famine. So think on that! And if you know Lot well God waited after Lot left the city until he poured out his wrath on the city destroying it. I think he will do that for us because Lot is only one example of many where God delivered his people before he destroyed everything around him.
All of us adults can't be one hundred percent positive because we all view things different. But we all love God and we love you and no matter how things work out on earth we would have each other's backs! Pre-Post trib thinkers are all Gods children. I recommend that we are prepared at all times for God to come back. If he comes before things start gettin all wacko then we will be partying up in heaven together but if he doesn't come pick us up before the end just don't ever be fooled into getting the mark of the beast. Never let anyone out a Mark on you! I hope my humble writing helps you unclear your head. God Bless You, you are already looking for signs of his return!!
The dead(in Christ) shall arise first and we that are alive shall be caught up together to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Even so Come Lord Jesus come. WE will not go through the tribulation.Am glad I am a sinner saved by grace. The world is getting madder every day. I would hate to be on earth to see what it is going to be like
- Pingback: People of The World Awake! Wake Up!!! Before it's Too Late! – A Letter to Unbelievers | End Time Bible Prophecy
I am accepting Jesus Christ as My lord and Savior for the 3rd or 4th time, I am a Sinner, and always have been, but I always had love for God and Jesus Christ even though I did not walk like Christ, I certainly Hope that I will not be left behind. I pray to God and Jesus to forgive me and save me because someone woke me up recently, and I have been on fire since, seeking for absolute truth and HOPING I will not be left behind. Oh God Have mercy on my soul!
Thank You Gordon! I love my God! I love him Fiercely and want nothing more than to be with him! With God all things are possible! and I'm trying to encourage my family to walk IN Christ and not just say it. its challenging because even I fall short. But I pray and speak to him daily that he continue to bless me and my Family and Friends, God Bless you Gordon! God Bless you All!
I am worried for my family. One daughter is Jehova Witness, what does God do with them that do not believe that Jesus is God? I have tried to show her why Jesus is God but she will not believe it so I fear for her eternity and her children's. My grandchildren are all taught the JW beliefs and will not listen to me either. My daughter has become very mad at me at times, even hung up on me on the phone discussing this. How does God judge those who believe in Him, believe Jesus is His Son, but do not believe in The Holy Trinity?

Crawl Space Energy Conservation & Reflecting Radiate Heat
Understanding Crawl Space heat gain / loss:
There are three modes of heat transfer: CONDUCTION, CONVECTION, and RADIATION (INFRA-RED). Of the three, radiation is the primary mode; convection and conduction are secondary and come into play only as matter interrupts or interferes with radiant heat transfer. As the mater absorbs radiant energy, it is heated, develops a difference in temperature and results in molecular motion (conduction in solids) or mass motion (primarily convection with some conduction in liquids and gas).
All substances, including air spaces and building materials such as wood, concrete, glass and plaster, obey the same laws of nature, and TRANSFER heat. Solid materials differ in the rate of heat transfer, which is affected by differences in: density, weight, shape, permeability and molecular structure. Materials that transfer heat slowly can be said to RESIST heat flow. Direction of heat transfer is an important consideration. Heat is radiated and conducted in all directions, but transfer by convection is primarily upwards.
CONDUCTION is direct heat flow through matter (molecular motion). It results from actual PHYSICAL CONTACT of one part of the same body with another, or of one body with another. For instance, if one end of an iron rod is heated, the heat travels by conduction through the metal to the other end; it also travels to the surface and is conducted to the surrounding air, which is another, but less dense, body. An example of conduction through contact between two solids is a cooking pot on the solid surface of a hot stove. The greatest flow of heat possible between materials is where there is direction conduction between two solids. Heat is always conducted from warm to cold; never from cold to warm.
In general, the denser the substance, the better conductor it is. Concrete, glass and aluminum, being very dense, are good conductors of heat. Reduce their density by mixing air into the mass, and their conductivity is reduces. Because air has low density, the percentage of heat transferred by conduction through air is comparatively small. Two thin sheets of aluminum foil with about one inch of air space in between weigh less than once ounce per square foot. The ratio is approximately 1 of mass to 100 of air, most important in reducing heat flow by conduction. The less dense the mass, the less will be the flow of heat by conduction.
CONVECTION is the transport of heat within a gas or liquid, caused by the actual flow of the material itself (mass motion). In building spaces, natural convection heat flow is largely upward, sometimes sideways, not downwards. This is called "free convection".
For instance, a warm stove, persona, floor, wall, etc. loses body heat by conduction to the cooler air in contact with it. This added heat activates (warms) the molecules of the air, which expand, becoming less dense, and rise. Cooler, heavier air rushes in from the side and below to replace it. The popular expression "hot air rises" is exemplified by smoke rising from a chimney or cigarette. The motion is largely upward, with a component of sideways motion.
Convection may also be mechanically induces, as by a fan. This is called "forced convection." RADIATION is the transmission of electromagnetic rays through space. Radiation, like radio waves, is invisible. Infrared rays have wavelengths between light and radar waves (between the 3-15 micron portions of the spectrum). Henceforth, when we speak of radiation, we refer only to infrared waves. Each material whose temperature is above absolute zero (-459.7 F) emits infrared radiation, including: the sun, icebergs, stoves or radiators, humans, animals, furniture, ceilings, walls, floors, etc.
All objects radiate infrared rays from their surfaces in all directions, in a straight line, until they are reflected or absorbed by another object. Traveling at the speed of light, these rays are invisible, and they have NO TEMPERATURE, only ENERGY. Heating an object excites the surface molecules, causing them to give off infrared radiation. When these infrared rays strike the surface of another object, the rays are absorbed, and only then is heat produced in the object. This heat spreads throughout the mass by conduction. The heated object then transmits infrared rays from exposed surfaces by radiation, if these surfaces are exposed directly to an air space. The amount of radiation emitted is a function of the EMISSIVITY factor of the source's surface. EMISSIVITY is the rate at which radiation (EMISSION) is given off. Absorption of radiation by an object is proportional to the absorption factor of its surface, which is reciprocal of its emissivity.
Although two objects may be identical, if the surface of one were covered with a material of 90% emissivity, and the surface of the other with a material of 5% emissivity, there would result a drastic difference in the rate of radiation flow from these two objects. This is demonstrated by comparison of four identical, equally heated iron radiators covered with different materials. Paint one with aluminum paint and another with ordinary enamel. Cover the third with asbestos and the fourth with aluminum foil. Although all have the same temperature, the one covered with aluminum foil would radiate the least [lowest (5%) emissivity].
The radiators covered with ordinary paint or asbestos would radiate most, because they have the highest emissivity (even higher than the original iron). Painting over the aluminum paint or foil with ordinary paint changes the surface to 90% emissivity.
Materials whose surfaces do not appreciably reflect infrared rays, for example, paper, asphalt, wood, glass and rock, have absorption and emissivity rates of 80% to 93%. Most materials used in building construction - brick, stone, wood, paper and so on - regardless of their color, absorb infrared radiation at about 90%. It is interesting to note that a mirror of glass is an excellent reflector of light but a very poor reflector of infrared radiation. Mirrors have about the same reflectivity for infrared as a heavy coating of black paint.
The surface of aluminum has the ability NOT to ABSORB, but to REFLECT 94% to 98% of the infrared rays that strike it. Since aluminum foil has such a low mass-to-air ratio, very little conduction can take place, particularly when only 5% of the rays are absorbed.
TRY THIS EXPERIMENT: Hold a sample of the STS Heat Shield close to your face, without touching. Soon you feel the warmth of your own infrared rays bouncing back from the SURFACE of the STS Heat Shield. The following is an explanation: The emissive heat radiation of the surface of your face is 99% and the absorption of aluminum is only 5%, thus sending back 95% of the rays. With the absorption rate of your face at 99%, the result is that you feel the warmth of your face reflected back to you. In a similar fashion, installing the STS Heat Shield in a crawl space will reflect the radiant heat that travels through the floor, towards the crawl space, back into the living area. This will help reduce your overall heating costs and keep floors comfortably warm. For Product Data / Specification sheet.

For the first time in three days, my bed didn't move underneath me last night. No constant jostle, sway, bump, no shift, no lurch. We just got back from a train trip east, first to visit our family of friends in
then to visit my brother in Clifton Forge, Virginia. Two eastbound nights, Bellingham
to Chicago, of
train whistles, a perpetual drive, racing across the continent in the dark at
79 mph then slowing to a stop waiting for a freight train to pass. Three westbound nights on the train coming
|Waiting for the train in Bellingham
We ate dinner on a table set with white table cloths, ordered steak and cod from amiable waiters standing legs astride to keep their balance as they took our orders. Our first dinner mates were a fit looking orthodontist and his silent 18 year old daughter, who were heading from Camano Island to Whitefish,
for a weekend of skiing. At each meal throughout the trip, we were seated
across from two new travelers, exchanging travel stories and destinations.
We learned that the treasure of Amtrak's all American menu was found in their
desserts, like their signature warm date-pudding cake with toffee pecan sauce. Mmmmmmm.
So near winter solstice, darkness descended early. We missed the views as our train climbed over the Cascades, our descent into the frozen orchards of eastern
Washington, the flattening landscape as we crossed Idaho. It all whizzed
unseen as we passed our first long winter night on Amtrak.
Still, the beds. We had chosen luxury over necessity when we made our reservations for a "roomette" on the train. The roomette promised us a private space with two facing seats by the window, bathroom down the hall. The car attendant came by in the evening and turned the seats into a set of bunk beds for the night, each made up with crisp white sheets and standard blue blankets. Perhaps "luxury" is an overreaching term here. The top bunk was 20" wide, the bottom was 24". The top bunk included webbing clipped between the bed and the ceiling to grab onto if you roll out.
The first night I crawled into the upper bunk, so close to the ceiling that I couldn't sit up, a space so small and windowless that I only lasted about ten minutes. "This isn't going to work," I called to Lynne, as motion sickness and claustrophobia immediately kicked up in my body. She generously agreed to switch. She has proven to be the more stalwart traveler many times when we have been on trips, able to read while the car or the boat is moving, able to sit backwards and able to eat while I am struggling not to throw up. Once again, Lynne saved the day, or this time, the night.
Traveling by Amtrak is considered "slow" travel, but only in comparison to flying. We had ruled out driving this distance. It would have taken us a week to get from
to Kentucky and Virginia. Lynne ruled out the abuses of
flying: being wedged into seats where you are not able to cross your legs,
having to deal with hordes of people going through security, racing between
gate changes from one terminal to another. Many of our friends travel east by
train, so we thought we'd give it a try.
|The Great Plains viewed through the observation car window
We happened to choose the coldest days of 2016 to cross the
Great Plains. At our
stop in , the temperature was -13
degrees F at 10 pm. The crew that
met us there, bundled in heavy parkas and boots, tried to thaw out the waste
pipe of the downstairs lavoratory that had frozen. During the night, the
mercury dipped to -17 degrees F. That lavoratory remained frozen for the
duration of our trip to Minot, North Dakota Chicago.
Still, the train keeps going in the dark, the cold, the snow, the wind. The attendant told us that if the temperature reaches -20 degrees F, the
train has to slow down because the rails are too brittle to provide traction to
stop. We were in a snowstorm by the time we arrived in Chicago. All airline travel into and out of Chicago had been cancelled, but the train got us there.
|Our stalwart traveler
Seven days later, we stepped aboard a different train, the Cardinal, in
Virginia, heading back to Chicago. In the middle of the night, the train
thudded to a stop when it hit a tree. The engineer cut the power to our cars, so
suddenly we were in silence and semi-darkness. We could hear muffled voices and saw flashlights outside in the dark as the crew
cleared the tree and inspected the train for damage. After about 45 minutes,
power was restored and we lurched forward again. Towards morning, the train
stopped once more. This time, the track switch ahead was frozen, so again, the crew was out in
the dark clearing our path north. When we
left Chicago,
we saw flames rising from a section of tracks, an alarming sight to see out the window. When we
asked the waiter that night, he explained that when the track switches freeze,
the crew thaws them by pouring kerosene on the tracks and lighting them with a match.
I had mentioned the word "luxury" earlier. The luxury of the Amtrak is old world. We traveled the double decker Empire Builder to
Chicago. The newest cars
on that train are 25 years old, and some are 40 years old, making them older
than the cheerful and informative waiter who served us on the way west. The equipment
showed its age: the bathroom down the hall had an ornery door that didn't latch
easily, the lock on our room didn't operate smoothly, the walls had scrapes
from previous occupants.
We upgraded from a "roomette" to a "bedroom" for the final leg home, and were delighted to have a full length sofa on which to stretch out, as well as a private bath and shower in our room. Splurging on this upgrade rewarded us with larger bunks as well, so for the last two nights, I ascended the ladder to the top bunk and experienced train travel as I had hoped it would be. I was lulled by the constant motion, like a gentle massage to which I yielded. The bottom bunk was large enough that we nestled together in the morning, only to scramble up when we heard the dining car announce "Last call for breakfast!"
|The hard life


text:
I have noticed that people, including me, often times try to segregate their lives. We have this section of our life for family. Another section of our life for work. Yet another section for church, and so on. We often try to keep them apart. We say, "I leave work at work" when we refer to problems or struggles we have at work. We say, "I will miss service to be with my family" and it may be needed but none the less it is segregated. Have we ever considered the thought that working for the Lord must permeate through our entire life and cannot be segregated? A few weeks ago I taught a lesson on the word "worship" and we discussed a few of the Greek words that are translated worship in the New Testament. One of the was "latreuo", which basically means worship is a lifestyle not just a specific act in a specific place, but a way in which we live. That sure doesn't sound like a segregated life to me. The above tells us that is possible to claim, or profess, Christ and deny him with our works. To me, that sounds like an attempt at a segregated life. Paul tells Titus three things about this type of person.
Before we dig into that, I think it must be said that profession without practice brings condemnation. This will be explained in another paragraph but do we ever think of it like that? We must produce fruit. Mk 11:12-14 These verses sound really mean and harsh for Jesus to do, but what we don't realize is that a fig tree there is a little different than our trees here. We know trees to produce leaves then fruit, but figs are the exact opposite. They produce fruit then leaves. Therefore, the tree having leaves should have already been producing fruit but failed to do so! Many Christians are failing to produce fruit but are showing leaves as well. I can't see how an honest Bible student can read the few verses used thus far and still believe in "faith only." But on to our work!
Paul says a person who professes but doesn't practice has a detestable character. This word is often translated "abominable." Have you ever thought that profession and no practice is an abomination? This word means that which is an abomination to God. We are so quick to hammer homosexuality as an abomination and refer people to Lev 18:22 but are you prepared to say the same thing to a person who professes and doesn't practice? Both are an abomination to God but we choose which we fight and stand firm on, sadly. Some say the man preaching faith only is not as wicked as a homosexual, but that is if you are writing the Bible. Spiritually they are both an abomination. Both can be repented from. Both can be forgiven. That is why I say profession without practice brings condemnation. Do your works deny Christ? 1Jn 2:4 Profession without practice makes you a liar. Rev 21:8 Liars will face a second death. Therefore, profession without practice brings condemnation.
Paul says a person who professes but doesn't practice has a disobedient action. Again, I find it funny that Paul says here to Titus that practicing is obviously commanded because you can't disobey something that was not commanded! If profession without practice is disobedient profession and practice must be commanded! Why then do people try to make Paul and God's Word their sock puppet and support a faith only? You see, the word translated disobedient literally means unwilling to be persuaded, spurning belief, disobedient. It is addressing intentional unbelief. Profession without practice brings condemnation and so does unbelief. Mk 16:16 Make no mistake, I know we are saved by the grace of God and no other means. I also believe that that saving grace is PROVED, not EARNED, in our lives by our works. Without a living and working faith we cannot claim to have God's saving grace. If we do that is professing without practicing. When we walk according to the world we are "sons of disobedience" and will be overcome by the "wrath of God" Eph 2:2; 5:6 Do you walk according to the world or the Word?
Finally, Paul says a person who professes but doesn't practice has a worthless value. The word translated worthless here is usually applied to metal. It means not standing the test, rejected. You see, if we are professing and not practicing our work is rejected. Our work is not approved by God. We have no value at that point. We must have different works than that of the world. We must delight in God's Word. That is the picture of the tree that doesn't wither! Ps 1:1-3 This is why we must meditate on the Word of God day and night. We must seek Godly wisdom. We must meditate on , profess and practice the Word of God so that we are ready to do every good work. 2Ti 3:16-17 I am reminding you to be ready for "every good deed." Titus 3:1
As Christians today we must be seeking the wisdom of God's Word. Remember, wisdom is the proper application of knowledge. Wisdom of God's Word must be our foundation. Sanctification in obedience to God's Word (Jn 17:17) must be our rule. The resurrection from the dead reserved for us in heaven to spend eternity with our Father (1Pe 1:3-4) must be our goal.
Today, are ready to work? Are you ready profess and practice? I said this week in my message that one sermon lived will be far more effective than ten sermons preached. Today, live the Bible, don't just profess it and you will be proving God's saving grace in your life. You will be equipped for every good work. Then and only then you won't be found as an abomination, disobedient, and worthless. Are you ready to work for Jesus with a lifestyle?
We must hear the Word of God: Rom 10:17; Acts 4:4
We must believe or have faith: Heb 11:6; Acts 16:31
We must repent of our sins: Lk 13:3; Acts 17:30
We must confess Christ before others: Mt 10:32; Acts 8:37
We must be immersed into Christ (baptized) Mk 16:16; Acts 2:38
We must be faithful: Rev 2:10; Acts 14:22

If u do a search for gnome themes using yum u might come across the Clearlooks additional packages...
Clearlooks (default in FC5) uses some cool effects and its Lilac controls are quite dark and easy on the eyes....mebbe u can try it out...
The additional package has Dark Coffee2 which is a combination of black n brown
these are some of the dark themes I've come across for GNOME...mebbe this helps..

Let me begin by stating that I do not drink alcohol or use drugs, nor would I recommend that anyone use them.
I'm old enough, however, to have firsthand memories of the prohibition era, when mobsters were making big bundles of money by supplying illegal booze to a thirsty public until the nation woke up to the fact that by legalizing alcohol, the bootleggers would be out of business and the government would now be collecting the money.
I find it amazing that the government can't see the parallel between the past and the present. The use of marijuana is no better or worse than the use of alcohol and if pot and hard drugs were legalized, the government would collect revenue with which to help fund schools, health care and even drug-prevention programs.
If drug purchases were subject, as are alcohol purchases, to a minimum age limit, we would also see reduced use by underage users.
Drugs are certainly not a desirable product, but like alcohol, some people are going to use them whether they are legal or not. So why not generate tax revenue for states while saving the money now being spent by the DEA fighting a losing battle? Do you suppose that would contribute to solving our national debt?

Lazy (or genius) Pokémon Go players have discovering some cheeky hacks to speed up egg incubation time.
Pokémon Go has well and truly swept up the country and players are adopting all sorts of tactics to 'catch'em all' and succeed in claiming their local gym and bragging rights at work (that is when the servers work).
One key aspect of the game includes collecting eggs which can be placed in an 'Egg Incubator'. The device hatches your eggs after you walk a certain distance, normally five or ten kilometers. The thought of literally going the distance each day to develop these creatures is proving to be a little too taxing for some players / lazy shits.
Unsurprisingly, some trainers are attempting to beat the system and they've discovered some pretty neat hacks.
The internet is being flooded with videos and pics of people trying to trick the GPS system to believing they are walking. This include tying phones to moving ceiling fans, record players and bicycle wheels. But does it actually work? Well, sort of.
Players are reporting that depending on the circumference of the spinning, it takes a long time to clock up one kilometre using these methods. It's also not nearly as fun and rewarding as actually going for a walk and trying to catch some bonus Pokémon while you're at it. We'd recommend you get your head out of your phone, not take it so seriously, get off your arse and… who am I kidding I've got three eggs on the go ATM and I've finally found my calling in life. Catching them all.
If you're determined to give it a go – check out these hack clips:
But as one trainer discovered – these tactics can definitely backfire on you!

Chicago, Iiiinois (PressExposure) August 20, 2008 -- When it comes to moderate or severe knee instability, or for those of us that are high-performance athletes looking to help protect our knee, the only knee brace you need is the DonJoy Legend. DonJoy has recently changed the name of the Legend to the "SE 4-point" to illustrate its patented 4-point stability mechanism. This custom-fit knee brace has proven to be superior by other knee brace specialists testing procedures. The DonJoy Legend Knee brace is designed to provide stability for moderate to severe ACL,MCL, PCL, and LCL instabilities. You could be moving again with confidence, with the support that this knee brace provides, if you have injured one or more of these ligaments! How could that benefit your life? For the better maybe?
The DonJoy Legend knee brace (aka the SE 4-point) is a well designed knee brace that has unparalleled strength for athletes in high energy contact sports, such as motocross or football. It is absolutely possible to use this knee brace in more than these sports too! Not only is it a durable knee brace, it has a low profile, water resistant design that contours closely to your leg. This knee brace is built for speed and agility, which is a bonus when you do not want to slow you down. The DonJoy Legend has a unique outer covering that is "chip" resistant. This feature makes the DonJoy Legend knee brace more safe for salt and fresh water sporting activities.
Research on the Legend knee brace, in a recent study published by the American Journal of Sports Medicine (1) has documented the efficacy of the DonJoy Legend for people with ACL injuries. Eleven people had a special trasnducer implanted into their ACL (not recommended for our readers necessarily...) at the time of surgery. The ligament strain was tested both with the knee brace donned and with it taken off. The authors of this study reported that the knee brace significanly decreased anterior shear loads up to 130N. These anterior shear loads are the primary loads that will cause a feeling of instability for people with ACL tears. Not only was anterior shear load decreased, but the internal torque strain of the tibia (twisting moments at the knee) was significanly decreased as well.
As a result, the reseachers concluded that the DonJoy Legend knee brace significanly lowers the strain on your ACL, which is useful for those people that have had their knee reconstructed and need stability when they return to sports.

Simplicity is arguably the most potent weapon in business - attracting customers, motivating employees, helping companies to outthink competitors, and creating new efficiencies. Yet rarely is it as simple as it looks.
Ken Segall's first book, Insanely Simple, was based on observations gained from 12 years working as Steve Jobs' advertising agency creative director, first with NeXT and then with Apple. He saw firsthand that Jobs looked at everything through the lens of simplicity. His obsession with simplicity was visible not just in Apple's products. You could see it in the way the company was organized and how it innovated, advertised, sold at retail, and provided customer service.
In practice simplicity was Jobs' most powerful business weapon. It helped Apple distinguish its products and create entirely new product categories, and it put distance between Apple and its competitors. But while Apple is a terrific example of a company that has been propelled by the power of simplicity, it is hardly alone.
Inspired by the ways Apple has benefited from the power of simplicity, Segall set out to find other companies that were traveling this path. He wanted to learn more about the thinking of their leaders. He felt that if he could chronicle the experiences of those who have successfully simplified, it would be an invaluable guide for everyone who would like to do the same.
This book is the result of his journey into simplicity in companies around the world.
Many of the "heroes of simplicity" profiled in this book are probably not on your list of usual suspects. Segall had conversations with over 40 men and women from a wide range of industries, in companies big and small, established and up and coming, famous and below the radar.
Each leader has a fascinating point of view about how simplicity has helped improve his or her company and set it apart from competitors. Each is unique, yet, as you'll find, many display interesting similarities.
From Jerry Greenfield, you'll hear how Ben & Jerry's grew from local to global without losing its focus and simple values. From the CEO of one of Australia's biggest banks, you'll hear how simplicity is attracting new customers. From former Apple senior vice president Ron Johnson, you'll hear how a simple idea aligned the team creating the worldwide network of Apple Stores.
You'll discover how simplicity influences the CEOs of The Container Store and Whole Foods. You'll get insights on simplification from the worlds of fashion, automobiles, entertainment, and technology. You'll even get inside the blue heads of the Blue Man Group, who developed a business strategy to defeat complexity before it could take root.

text: Overall, I found "Robin Hood" to be a little too drabby, but with its intentions to "keep it real" in the setting of the late 1190's, the look of the film would tend to have a faded out color palette. It's almost too dreary at times, characters have poor dental hygiene and big smiles at times, and the criss-crossing of character motivations is very bland and one-note, as well as the plot momentum sputtering and eventual climax of the final act not as satisfying as I'd hope for in this genre of movie. The script just isn't as economical enough. I'd hope Robin's merry men had a little more to do, the film's midsection sags quite a bit for a film with a 140 minute running time, and it feels all of that amount of time by the end, all in an effort to set the table for the stakes at the end, but it never feels all that involving or entertaining. Not sure if I bought into the chemistry between Russell and Cate Blanchette as Robin Hood and Maid Marian, and that's a big chunk of "getting it right" when it comes to the Robin Hood stories, I think. Direction-wise, Ridley Scott seemed much looser in shot selection, relied on the Gladiator-like action footage style for some degree in the battle sequences, but not as a crutch, but the scenes played out as awkwardly as he probably intended, battles were messy. I give it 2.5 stars, or a grade of C+.

Nick Kyrgios is three years away from winning a Grand Slam and the latest in an illustrious line of tennis 'bad boys' bound for greatness, said former Wimbledon champion Jan Kodes.
The Czech said Jimmy Connors, John McEnroe, Ilie Nastase and Roger Federer were also a whole load of trouble at the same age – yet they matured and won a slew of majors.
Kodes who won the French Open in 1970 and 1971 then Wimbledon in 1973, said modern players were surrounded by coaches, advisers, physios and psychologists – yet the key components of becoming a winner had not changed in 50 years.
The 69-year-old said Kyrgios, the talented but temperamental Australian whose volatile behaviour on and off the court shook up this year's Wimbledon, definitely had the makings of a Grand Slam champion.
"I've seen him play. Kyrgios has great volleys, serves, everything. He plays a round game. He needs three more years and he might win," Kodes told AFP.
"Look at Connors, McEnroe and Nastase when they were 20. They all behaved badly. Federer in the juniors was terrible, breaking racquets. The press would like to have Kyrgios behave like he's 28. But he's not, he's 20.
"You need time to get experience. When you are young, you don't think. You don't have any responsibility. You can take risks."
Kodes, an inductee in the International Tennis Hall of Fame (ITHF), said self-belief, an array of "weapons" and, critically, deploying those skills at the right moment remained the difference between good players and champions.
He was back at Wimbledon, where he received on Wednesday a giant, personalised ring commemorating his induction into the ITHF, as per the tradition in sports halls of fame.

Y'all know by now that Costa Rica has been on my mind for a while. April is coming up and the count down is really beginning. So, with that said, I've been looking at quite a bit of all things Costa Rica related, like art prints. Pura Vida is the country's motto for "pure life" and I think it's a fun word to say. Here are a few of my favorites:
Month: January 2016
Dream Home Inspiration: Wallpapered Powder Bathroom
Powder rooms are full of surprises these days. They're the perfect space in your home to put up that daring wallpaper that you couldn't bring yourself to plaster on in your living room. I think it continues to surprise all of us that these tiny rooms can handle more than a punch of personality. But it really shouldn't. It's not like we're in there all day, so that little punch of boldness is all that we need to remind ourselves that we have our own little punch of boldness. We rarely have just one type of personality or one type of style. The living room and the kitchen is where we display our main personality, and we leave little rooms like the powder room and the laundry room to displaying our spontaneous sides.
The Spotlight: Parker Kennedy Living
I came across these pictures of this amazing room while reading Chinoiserie Chic. I cannot get enough of all the colors in this room. I think my favorite part of the study may actually be that awesome green ceiling. I think it helped make the whole room feel bigger. This was designed in one of the Atlanta show houses. Click here for the link. Parker Kennedy Living are the designers of this room and I'm a little surprised I haven't heard of them before. Their works appear carefully curated and the neutral rooms are done just as well as the colorful ones. I think I could live in this study. It makes me feel inspired. How about you?
Color Theory: Gray and Cream
Gray and Cream. I've never really been a fan of that color palate. It's a little too neutral for me, though a perfect opportunity to amp up your texture skills. Yet oddly enough, I woke up one morning and realized that I had that palette in a couple of places in my apartment. I had a creamy cabinet against gray walls and creamy pillows on my gray couch. I assure you, this was purely accidental. I had my creamy cabinet before moving into the apartment that came with gray walls and I had my creamy pillows well before we bought the gray couch.
Well, the damage is done now. My curiosity was piqued and I decided to explore how some rooms were decorated with this color palette.
