East Feliciana Alter Piece, Letitia Huckaby
My grandmother often told me a story of when she was a young woman, separated from my grandfather, a soldier in the war, and pregnant with my father. One of her older brothers had come upon a small amount of change, and had gone to the store for some sardines and crackers. When he came through the door, he proclaimed to his new wife, "Look what a man's got!" My grandmother was so tickled by this, that it became what she said anytime she felt blessed.
My artistic career began in documentary photography, but after the loss of my father and my grandmother, I became interested in making art that dealt with more personal issues. For the first time I turned the camera on myself, my family, and my African-American heritage.
I begin many works by printing photographic images onto cotton and silk fabrics that are treated to hold pigment prints. I then sew the fabric into quilts, dresses, quilt tops and other pieces. Some of the artworks on display in this exhibition are from LA19, a series of portraits of family members who lived on or near Louisiana's state highway number nineteen. Selections from a second body of work, the Quilts and Dress Project, offer a form of self-portraiture. Together, these works celebrate connections between past and present, memory and invention, craft traditions, and new ways of seeing.
"Look what a woman's got!"

O Lord, O Thou Who dost bless all those who stand firm in the Covenant by enabling them, out of their love for the Light of the World, to expend what they have as an offering to the Mashriqu'l-Adhkár, the dayspring of Thy wide-spread rays and the proclaimer of Thine evidences, help Thou, both in this world and the world to come, these righteous these upright and pious ones to draw ever nearer to Thy sacred Threshold, and make bright their faces with Thy dazzling splendours. Verily art Thou the Generous, the Ever-Bestowing.
— 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Selections From the Writings of 'Abdu'l-Bahá, p. 96
Hasten now to 'Ishqábád, in the utmost detachment and aflame with the fire of attraction, and convey to the friends of God ardent greetings from 'Abdu'l-Bahá. Kiss thou each one's face and express this servant's deep and sincere affection to all. Do thou on behalf of 'Abdu'l-Bahá move the earth, carry the mortar, and haul the stones for the building of the Mashriqu'l-Adhkár so that the rapture of this service may bring joy and gladness to the Centre of Servitude. That Mashriqu'l-Adhkár is the first visible and manifest establishment of the Lord. Therefore, it is this servant's hope that each and every virtuous and righteous soul will sacrifice his all, evince great happiness and exultation, and rejoice in carrying the earth and mortar so that this Divine Edifice may be raised, the Cause of God may spread, and in every corner of the world the friends may arise with the utmost resolve to accomplish this great task. Were 'Abdu'l-Bahá not imprisoned and were there not obstacles in his path, he himself would assuredly hasten to 'Ishqábád and carry the earth for the building of the Mashriqu'l-Adhkár with the utmost joy and gladness. It behoveth the friends now to arise with this intention in mind and serve in my place so that in a short time this Edifice may be revealed to all eyes, the loved ones of God may engage in making mention of the Abhá Beauty, the melodies of the Mashriqu'l-Adhkár may rise at dawntide to the Concourse on high, and the songs of the nightingales of God may bring joy and ecstasy to the denizens of the All-Glorious Realm. Thus will the hearts rejoice, the souls delight in joyful tidings, and the minds be illumined. This is the highest hope of the sincere ones; this is the dearest wish of them that are nigh unto God.
— 'Abdu'l-Bahá, In a letter from the Universal House of Justice dated 1 August 2014
One of the wondrous events that has of late come to pass is this, that the edifice of the Mashriqu'l-Adhkár is being raised in the very heart of the American continent, and numerous souls from the surrounding regions are contributing for the erection of this holy Temple. Among these is a highly esteemed lady of the city of Manchester, who hath been moved to offer her share.
Having no portion of goods and earthly riches, she sheared off with her own hands the fine, long and precious tresses that adorned her head so gracefully, and offered them for sale, that the price thereof might promote the cause of the Mashriqu'l-Adhkár.
Consider ye, that though in the eyes of women nothing is more precious than rich and flowing locks, yet notwithstanding this, that highly-honoured lady hath evinced so rare and beautiful a spirit of self-sacrifice.
And though this was uncalled for, and 'Abdu'l-Bahá would not have consented to such a deed, yet as it doth reveal so high and noble a spirit of devotion, He was deeply touched thereby. Precious though the hair be in the sight of western women, nay, more precious than life itself, yet she offered it up as a sacrifice for the cause of the Mashriqu'l-Adhkár!
It is related that once in the days of the Apostle of God He signified His desire that an army should advance in a certain direction, and leave was granted unto the faithful to raise contributions for the holy war. Among many was one man who gave a thousand camels, each laden with corn, another who gave half his substance, and still another who offered all that he had. But a woman stricken in years, whose sole possession was a handful of dates, came to the Apostle and laid at His feet her humble contribution. Thereupon the Prophet of God—may my life be offered up as a sacrifice unto Him—bade that this handful of dates be placed over and above all the contributions that had been gathered, thus asserting the merit and superiority thereof over all the rest. This was done because that elderly woman had no other earthly possessions but these.
And in like manner this esteemed lady had nothing else to contribute but her precious locks, and these she gloriously sacrificed in the cause of the Mashriqu'l-Adhkár.
Ponder and reflect how mighty and potent hath the Cause of God become! A woman of the west hath given her hair for the glory of the Mashriqu'l-Adhkár.
— 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Selections From the Writings of 'Abdu'l-Bahá, p. 97-99
Thousands of Mashriqu'l-Adhkár, which mean the Dawning-Points of Praise for all religionists, will be built in the world. In the Orient and in the Occident of the world will they be built. But this Mashriqu'l-Adhkár, being the first one in the Occident, has great importance. In after years there will be many Mashriqu'l-Adhkárs, even in this City of Chicago there shall be numerous ones established. In Asia there shall be many. In Europe there shall be many. Even in Africa there will be many. Even in Australia and New Zealand; but this is of great importance. In Ishkabad, Caucasus, Russia, the Mashriqu'l-Adhkár has the same great importance, being the first one built there. In Persia there are many Mashriqu'l-Adhkárs. Some have been houses which have been rented for that purpose. Others have given their homes entirely for that purpose, and in some places temporary and small places have been built therefor. In all the cities of Persia there are Mashriqu'l-Adhkárs; but the great Mashriqu'l-Adhkár was founded in Ishkabad. Because it is the first Mashriqu'l-Adhkár, hence it possesses the superlative degree of importance. All the friends of Ishkabad agreed and put forward the greatest effort. His holiness the Afnan devoted all his wealth to it. Everything he had he gave for it. Hence such a tremendous edifice was built. A colossal effort was put forward. Notwithstanding their contributions to that Mashriqu'l-Adhkár, they have, as you know, contributed to you here in this city. Now that one is almost complete, that is to say, with all its gardens. That Mashriqu'l-Adhkár is centrally located. It has nine avenues, nine gardens, nine fountains, so it is nine on nine, all nines. It is like a beautiful bouquet. Just imagine an edifice of that beauty in the center, very lofty, surrounded centrally by gardens, variegated flowers, with nine avenues interlacing nine gardens, nine ponds and nine fountains, and see how delightful it must be ! That is the way it should be. It is matchless, most beautiful! Such is the design. And now they are at work building a Hospital and a School for Orphans and a Home for the Cripples and a large Dispensary and a Hospice. They are now planning, thinking of these things. When that, God willing, shall be completed, it will be a Paradise! There will be no greater geometry than this, and I hope that in Chicago it shall be like this. It will be even so. Therefore endeavor to have the ground circular in shape. If possible even exchange certain parts in order to have a circular piece; not to have a triangle. The Mashriqu'l-Adhkár could not be triangular in shape. It must be circular.
— 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Talk dated 1 May 1912 in The Promulgation of Universal Peace, p. 71-72
The Mashriqu'l-Adhkár is one of the most vital institutions in the world, and it hath many subsidiary branches. Although it is a House of Worship, it is also connected with a hospital, a drug dispensary, a traveller's hospice, a school for orphans, and a university for advanced studies. Every Mashriqu'l-Adhkár is connected with these five things. My hope is that the Mashriqu'l-Adhkár will now be established in America, and that gradually the hospital, the school, the university, the dispensary and the hospice, all functioning according to the most efficient and orderly procedures, will follow. Make these matters known to the beloved of the Lord, so that they will understand how very great is the importance of this 'Dawning-Point of the Remembrance of God.' The Temple is not only a place for worship; rather, in every respect is it complete and whole.
— 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Selections From the Writings of 'Abdu'l-Bahá, p. 99-100
As to the obligatory prayer (to be said three times a day): Each one must say his prayer alone by himself, and this is not conditional on a private place; that is, both at home and in the worshipping-place, which is a gathering-place, it is allowable for one to say his prayer; but each person must say his prayer by himself (i. e., not in company with others who might recite the same words and continue the same postures together at the same time).
— 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Tablets of 'Abdu'l-Bahá Abbas, p. 464
I rejoice to hear that thou takest pain with thine art, for in this wonderful age, art is worship. The more thou strivest to perfect it, the closer wilt thou come to God. What bestowal could be greater than this, that one's art should be even as the act of worshipping the Lord? That is to say, when thy fingers grasp the paintbrush, it is as if thou wert at prayer in the Temple.
— 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Compilation on Arts and Architecture
Although to outward seeming the Mashriqu'l-Adhkár is a material structure, yet it hath a spiritual effect. It forgeth bonds of unity from heart to heart; it is a collective centre for men's souls. Every city in which, during the days of the Manifestation, a temple was raised up, hath created security and constancy and peace, for such buildings were given over to the perpetual glorification of God, and only in the remembrance of God can the heart find rest. Gracious God! The edifice of the House of Worship hath a powerful influence on every phase of life. Experience hath, in the east, clearly shown this to be a fact. Even if, in some small village, a house was designated as the Mashriqu'l-Adhkár, it produced a marked effect; how much greater would be the impact of one especially raised up.
— 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Selections From the Writings of 'Abdu'l-Bahá, p. 95-96
…a Mashriqu'l-Adhkár will soon be established in America. The cries of supplication and invocation will be raised to the Highest Kingdom therefrom and, verily, the people will enter into the religion of God by troops with great enthusiasm and attraction.
— 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Tablets of 'Abdu'l-Bahá Abbas, p.681
Inform the maid-servant of God, who prepared her home as a [temporary] Mashriqu'l-Adhkár, that this service was accepted in the Kingdom of Abhá.
— 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Tablets of 'Abdu'l-Bahá Abbas, p. 149
…the Mashriqu'l-Adhkár inspiriteth the lovers of God and delighteth their hearts, and causeth them to become steadfast and firm.
This is a matter of the utmost significance. If the erection of the House of Worship in a public place would arouse the hostility of evil-doers, then the meeting must, in every locality, be held in some hidden place. Even in every hamlet, a place must be set aside as the Mashriqu'l-Adhkár, and even though it be underground.
Now, praised be God, ye have succeeded in this. Engage ye in the remembrance of God at dawn; rise ye up to praise and glorify Him.
— 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Selections From the Writings of 'Abdu'l-Bahá, p. 95
Among the institutes of the Holy Books is that of the foundation of places of worship. That is to say, an edifice or temple is to be built in order that humanity might find a place of meeting, and this is to be conducive to unity and fellowship among them. The real temple is the very Word of God; for to it all humanity must turn, and it is the center of unity for all mankind. It is the collective center, the cause of accord and communion of hearts, the sign of the solidarity of the human race, the source of eternal life. Temples are the symbols of the divine uniting force so that when the people gather there in the House of God they may recall the fact that the law has been revealed for them and that the law is to unite them. They will realize that just as this temple was founded for the unification of mankind, the law preceding and creating it came forth in the manifest Word. Jesus Christ, addressing Peter, said, "Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church." This utterance was indicative of the faith of Peter, signifying: This faith of thine, O Peter, is the very cause and message of unity to the nations; it shall be the bond of union between the hearts of men and the foundation of the oneness of the world of humanity. In brief, the original purpose of temples and houses of worship is simply that of unity—places of meeting where various peoples, different races and souls of every capacity may come together in order that love and agreement should be manifest between them. That is why Bahá'u'lláh has commanded that a place of worship be built for all the religionists of the world; that all religions, races and sects may come together within its universal shelter; that the proclamation of the oneness of mankind shall go forth from its open courts of holiness—the announcement that humanity is the servant of God and that all are submerged in the ocean of His mercy. It is the Mashriqu'l-Adhkár. The world of existence may be likened to this temple and place of worship. For just as the external world is a place where the people of all races and colors, varying faiths, denominations and conditions come together—just as they are submerged in the same sea of divine favors—so, likewise, all may meet under the dome of the Mashriqu'l-Adhkár and adore the one God in the same spirit of truth; for the ages of darkness have passed away, and the century of light has come. […]
These are the institutions of God and the foundations of His temple, the Mashriqu'l-Adhkár. The outer edifice is a symbol of the inner. May the people be admonished thereby.
— 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Talk dated 30 April 1912 in The Promulgation of Universal Peace, p. 65-67
As to the Mashriqu'l-Adhkár, it is of the utmost importance…. It may assume any form, for even if it be an underground pit, that pit shall become a sheltering paradise, an exalted bower, and a garden of delight. It shall become a centre wherein the spirits are gladdened and the hearts attracted to the Abhá Kingdom.
— 'Abdu'l-Bahá, CITED IN A LETTER FROM THE UNIVERSAL HOUSE OF JUSTICE DATED 18 DECEMBER 2014
The Mashriqu'l-Adhkár is the most important matter and the greatest divine institute. Consider how the first institute of His Holiness Moses, after His exodus from Egypt, was the "Tent of Martyrdom" which He raised and which was the traveling Temple. It was a tent which they pitched in the desert, wherever they abode, and worshipped in it. Likewise, after His Holiness Christ—may the spirit of the world be a sacrifice to Him!—the first institute by the disciples was a Temple. They planned a church in every country. Consider the Gospel and the importance of the Mashriqu'l-Adhkár will become evident.
In fine, I hope that all the beloved of God, collectively, in the continent of America, men and women, will strive night and day until the Mashriqu'l-Adhkár be erected in the utmost solidity and beauty.
— 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Bahá'í World Faith, p. 418-419
Whosoever arises for the service of this building shall be assisted with a great power from His Supreme Kingdom and upon him spiritual and heavenly blessings shall descend, which shall fill his heart with wonderful consolation and enlighten his eyes by beholding the glorious and eternal God!
The contribution that thou hast made to the Temple is beloved. The Temple is the most great foundation of the world of humanity and it hath many branches. Although the Temple is the place of worship, with it is connected a hospital, pharmacy, pilgrims' house, school for the orphans, and a university for the study of high sciences. Every Temple is connected with these five things. I hope that now in America they will build a Temple and gradually add to it the hospital, school, university, pharmacy and pilgrims' house with the utmost efficiency and thoroughness. Thou shouldst make known to the believers these details, so that they may realize how important the Temple is. The Temple is not only a place for worship; nay, it is perfect in every way.
— 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Bahá'í World Faith, p. 416
O friends of 'Abdu'l-Bahá and His co-sharers and partners in the servitude of the Lord of Hosts! Verily the greatest affair and the most important matter today is to establish a Mashriqu'l-Adhkár and to found a Temple from which the voice of praisings may rise to the Kingdom of the majestic Lord. Blessings be upon you for having thought to do so and intending to erect such an edifice, advancing all in devoting your wealth in this great purpose and in this splendid work. You will soon see the angels of confirmation following after you and the hosts of reinforcement crowding before you.
When the Mashriqu'l-Adhkár is accomplished, when the lights are emanating therefrom, the righteous ones are presenting themselves therein, the prayers are performed with supplication towards the mysterious Kingdom, the voice of glorification is raised to the Lord, the Supreme, then the believers shall rejoice, the hearts shall be dilated and overflow with the love of the All-living and Self-existent God. The people shall hasten to worship in that heavenly Temple, the fragrances of God will be elevated, the divine teachings will be established in the hearts like the establishment of the Spirit in mankind; the people will then stand firm in the Cause of your Lord, the Merciful. Praise and greetings be upon you.
— 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Bahá'í World Faith, p. 415
Concerning the erection of the Temple: Now all the believers must become united, so that the Temple may be built soon in one place. For should the believers undertake the erection of the Temple in many places, it will not become completed anywhere; and as in Chicago they have preceded every other place to plan the erection of the Temple, undoubtedly to cooperate and help them is nobler and a necessity. Then, when it is built in one place, it will become erected in many other places. If, for the present, you prepare or establish a home in New York, though by renting it, to become a center for the gathering of the believers of God, it is very acceptable. God willing, in all the states of America in the future there will be erected Temples with infinite architectural beauty, art, with pleasing proportion and handsome and attractive appearances; especially in New York. But for the present, be ye satisfied with a rented place.
O friends of 'Abdu'l-Bahá and His co-sharers and partners in the servitude of the Lord of Hosts! Verily the greatest affair and the most important matter today is to establish a Mashriqu'l-Adhkár and to found a Temple from which the voice of praisings may rise to the Kingdom of the majestic Lord. Blessings be upon you for having thought to do so and intending to erect such an edifice, advancing all in devoting your wealth in this great purpose and in this splendid work. You will soon see the angels of confirmation following after you and the hosts of reinforcement crowding before you.
— 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Bahá'í World Faith, p. 415
The Mashriqu'l-Adhkár must have nine sides, doors, fountains, paths, gateways, columns and gardens, with ground floor, galleries and domes, and in design and construction must be beautiful. The mystery of the edifice is great, and cannot be unveiled yet, but its erection is the most important undertaking of this day. The Mashriqu'l-Adhkár has important accessories, which are accounted of the basic foundations. These are: school for orphan children, hospital and dispensary for the poor, home for the incapable, college for the higher scientific education, and hospice. In every city a great Mashriqu'l-Adhkár must be founded after this order. In the Mashriqu'l-Adhkár services will be held every morning. There will be no organ in the Temple. In buildings near by, festivals, services, conventions, public meetings and spiritual gatherings will be held, but in the Temple the chanting and singing will be unaccompanied. Open ye the gates of the Temple to all mankind.
When these institutions, college, hospital, hospice and establishment for the incurables, university for the study of higher sciences, giving post-graduate courses, and other philanthropic buildings are built, the doors will be opened to all the nations and religions. There will be absolutely no line of demarcation drawn. Its charities will be dispense irrespective of color or race. Its gates will be flung wide open to mankind; prejudice towards none, love for all. The central building will be devoted to the purpose of prayer and worship. Thus … religion will become harmonized with science, and science will be the handmaid of religion, both showering their material and spiritual gifts on all humanity.
— 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Bahá'u'lláh and the New Era, p. 187-188
You had asked about places of worship and the underlying reason therefor. The wisdom in raising up such buildings is that at a given hour, the people should know it is time to meet, and all should gather together, and, harmoniously attuned one to another, should engage in prayer; with the result that out of this coming together, unity and affection shall grow and flourish in the human heart.
— 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Selections from the Writings of 'Abdu'l-Bahá, p. 94-95
The place is suitable, but if it were possible to have a wider piece of ground, so that the building should stand in the middle, surrounded by a flower garden, it would be better and more pleasing; otherwise, if this is not possible, the building on the present ground is also permissible.
— 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Tablets of 'Abdu'l-Bahá Abbas, p. 127-128
It befitteth the friends to hold a gathering, a meeting, where they shall glorify God and fix their hearts upon Him, and read and recite the Holy Writings of the Blessed Beauty—may my soul be the ransom of His lovers! The lights of the All-Glorious Realm, the rays of the Supreme Horizon, will be cast upon such bright assemblages, for these are none other than the Mashriqu'l-Adhkárs, the Dawning-Points of God's Remembrance, which must, at the direction of the Most Exalted Pen, be established in every hamlet and city… These spiritual gatherings must be held with the utmost purity and consecration, so that from the site itself, and its earth and the air about it, one will inhale the fragrant breathings of the Holy Spirit.
— 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Selections From the Writings of 'Abdu'l-Bahá, p. 93-94
I loved the Afnán very much. Because of him, I rejoiced. I wrote a long Visitation Tablet for him and sent it with other papers to Persia. His burial site is one of the holy places where a magnificent Mashriqu'l-Adhkár must be raised up. If possible, the actual arch of the royal palace should be restored and become the House of Worship.
— 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Memorials of the Faithful, p. 20

Youth Parliment Members Raise Concern Over Cyber Bullying
10:41am 19th August 2013
Members of Dorset's Youth Parliament have been putting their concerns about cyber bullying to the county's Police and Crime Commissioner.
Martyn Underhill has met with 5 members of the Youth Parliament at the Police Headquarters at Winfrith.
The two and a half hour discussion also focused on exam stress.
They're planning a Stress Less Day for students and teachers in Dorset to help them spot the signs of exam stress.
Mr Underhill said: "I am delighted to have met the members of Dorset Youth Parliament. I believe strongly in young people having the chance to express themselves. Cyber-bullying was a key concern for the members at today's meeting. I told them that it is vital that young people confide in someone if they are being bullied online. We must all work together on identifying and intercepting problems early on, before they become a crisis."
The representatives of Dorset Youth Parliament also visited the Firearms department and the Force control room on their visit to Dorset Police HQ, Winfrith.

In today's aggressive company environment, having a web page is becoming more of a requirement than the average need. Any organization irrespective of its size requires a site to totally accomplish its company goals. Nonetheless, having a website simply sets the foundation for fulfillment in a small business; it does not assure productive achievement of the arranged company goals. Your website must be active, professional in appearance, suitable and updated. Every one of these attributes is possible through a webmaster site.
Many companies demand webmasters for their web pages, a thing that has grown essential in business these days. Webmasters primarily serve to aid in the improvement and marketing of websites. Webmaster options consist of the inclusion of new images, site animation, fresh activities, fresh content material, event subscription in addition to product revisions. The application also functions to assist companies who undertake support growth. With webmasters, companies can save a significantly large sum of funds together with time on technological solutions. They are capable to try all functions associated with websites, as well as on-line software including standard services provided by development companies.

First Do No Harm Trailer (1997)
16 February 1997 Drama 120 mins
When Lori Reimuller learns that her young son Robbie has epilepsy, she first trusts the judgment of the hospital staff in how best to bring it under control. As Robbie's health slides radically downhill, however, she becomes frustrated and desperate, and so does her own research into the existing literature on treatments. When she decides to try an alternative treatment called the Ketogenic Diet, devised long ago by a doctor from Johns Hopkins, she is met with narrow-minded resistance from Robbie's doctor, who is prepared to take legal action to prevent Lori from removing him from the hospital.

Jesse Benton Smacks Down Establishment Opinionist
something smells strongly of owned.
Ryan has that smug, elite banker type smirk, so Jesse felt the need to smack him ! I am sure instead of "dude", Jesse would have liked to use some other choice words like douche, or Dickhead, or Geek squad.
You are simply clueless. If you think that all people fit into that simple equation based on having no moral character than it merely shows just how lacking you must be in the character department.
Because supporting Paul requires us to believe we have found the ONE honest politician in the history of the world. which is just silly, obviously. Also, he keeps the millions raised during the campaign when he quits. Just like he did in the past two election cycles. "Why is Ron Paul still in the race?" Same as Gingrich. It's called "gettin' paid, boooooyyyyy!" Ron Paul is no different than anyone else. He is selling a brand and making himself millions doing it.
Lol totally just calls the one guy out who has no idea what he's talking about. How is he employed at the station?
give up easily? I bought into the farce of American Democracy almost 50 years now. I am over it, people. The government can arrest you and disappear your ass to a torture prison anytime, day or night. Once you realize that, you understand it's over in America. Over.
Its called the flip flopper ad, it was like one of the first ads they made i believe.
Not sure what your comment means. Seems my B.A. Political Science from a Conservative college and almost 50 years of watching every politician in the country build fortunes through campaign finance bribery (they keep the war chest when the campaign ends, people!) seems like I might actually be somewhat qualified to comment on American politics.
After all, I am not the naive simpleton on here crying "We've found the ONE honest politician in the history of the world."
Lot of simpletons on here.
Everybody knows the "etch-a-sketch" candidate is Mitt Romney! It's pretty clear that this ad was directed at every one of Ron Paul's adversairies. Mitt Romney being the main subject of the ad but then Santorum and Gingrich want to play with toys while speaking on the podium on the campaign trail, lol, why not bunch them in there as well.
love it. They don't really try to hide it do they.
And let me cut off your inevitable response (if no one is exactly like everyone else, how can you say "all politicians are liars"?)
Because Politicians, in this argument, are a subset sharing particular characteristics.
You seem to believe you have found the ONE honest politician in the world.
Pretty naive.
davincij15 – No one is "just like everyone else." You have made a non-argument here.
Also, why should I have to Google this issue? I can explain this simply enough with logic:
All politicians are liars.
Ron Paul is a politician.
Therefore…ok, i'll fill in the blank rather than assuming you understand such simple concepts – Therefore, Ron Paul is a liar.
Sorry, but politicians, by definition, bullshit for a living. Ron Paul is raking in millions which will remain HIS dollars when he quits.
He is a registered Republican who has stated many times out loud so even you can hear him "I am not thinking of leaving the Republican Party." Period. Ron Paul is a Republican.
When are we going to see those ads criticizing Romney?
Thank you for your considered opinion, Mr. Dillhole. LOL
lol… He's a great man.. It's too easy.
dude gets owned
Lay the smack down on that DUDE. Dumbass.
Sorry ,I meant ,very well said and so true!

Anyone had very much success with local television commercials, we are doing one in a couple weeks
No, Let us know how yours goes.
I've thought about it...but never really looked into it. I would love to hear some info on how you did it, cost, and results if you don't mind.
yah i would love to know how much it cost....I think it would work well in my area but the cost has to be way too high...but let us know . and how you pay like per second or stuff like that
Unless your a huge company with several employees, trucks and equipment to do anything there not worth it. The general advertising area will cover an area of 100 miles or more so, unless you have several crews or you can afford to leave your general service area for several days for landscaping or drive several miles for just a service account there not worth it in my opinion.

Hildegarde Withers heads down Mexico way where the death in the afternoon involves neither a matador nor a bull. Inspector Oscar Piper is off on a junket to Mexico in the summer of 1937 (surrounded by a bunch of Democrats, huffed Miss Withers) when a customs inspector on a train headed for Mexico City sniffs a very potent bottle of cheap perfume and promptly drops dead. Quite naturally, Oscar telegraphs Hildegarde in Manhattan about the perfume and quite naturally Miss Withers packs her bags and heads south of the border, figuring Oscar is out of his depth if he has to rely on deductive reasoning rather than a rubber hose. Why any of the occupants of the train should want to kill a harmless Mexican customs inspector is so puzzling that everyone assumes that the real intended victim is a self-made rich american woman who seemingly has rededicated her life to shopping. Her husband ought to be the prime suspect but he seems devoted to her, although he was spotted giving cash to a pretty young redhead when he thought no one was looking. Then there were the two American fast buck artists who figured they could get rich buying up all the gasoline-powered generators in Mexico on the eve of a strike by utility workers. They looked especially guilty when their shady, double-crossing associate - a somewhat accomplished ladies' man - becomes the second person to die. A blue banderilla, usually used to slow bulls down, is driven through his back during a Sunday afternoon bullfight in Mexico City. Miss Withers borrows a technique from Sherlock Holmes himself to show that a banderilla makes for a lousy murder weapon, a conclusion also reached by a rather odd young Mexican man whose English seems to come and go. First published in 1937, this lighthearted mystery displays all the charm that made Miss Withers Anthony Boucher's favorite female sleuth as well as a favorite of moviegoers during the early days of the talkies.

Do Christians ever outgrow the Gospel? I mean isn't the Gospel what you heard in Sunday school or vacation Bible school when you were a kid? Surely we are beyond that now right? Nope–not if we really understand how wonderful and radical the Gospel truly is.
Category Archives: Spiritual Growth
Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage.
The Sweetness of Doctrine (Adoption)
Sometimes theology and doctrine get a bad rap. And sometimes for good reason! Cold, long, dry lectures on theology as if someone were attempting to solve a particularly tricky geometry problem. Ugh. But doctrine does not exist for us to "solve" God. We are called to know God.
"Thus says the Lord, "Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches; but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord who exercises lovingkindness, justice and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things," declares the Lord." – Jer. 9:23-24
Knowing God means learning about him (who he has revealed himself to be) and experiencing relationship with him. Both are vital.
Sometimes in our heart of hearts we wonder…could this really be true? Is God really this good? This wonderful? Am I really this loved and accepted?
The sweetness of doctrine says yes. And it is the sweetness of this understanding that allows us to press more deeply into God and experience his love. Trusting that he is who he says he is. That is walking by faith in the every day of life. Because of God's past faithfulness, we can trust him for an unseen future.
Recently as I have been walking through circumstances that are painful and sad I have been reminded again and again of God's goodness.
No matter what happens, I am an adopted son. And my heavenly Father loves me more than I could ever know. My status as an adopted son is the basis for and the lens through which I should view my relationship with him.
"Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need." – Hebrews 4:14-16
Theologian J.I. Packer captures the heart of adoption this way:
"Justification is the basic blessing, on which adoption is founded; adoption is the crowning blessing, to which justification clears the way. Adopted status belongs to all who receive Christ (John 1:12). The adopted status of believers means that in and through Christ God loves them as he loves his only-begotten Son and will share with them all the glory that is Christ's now (Rom. 8:17, 38–39)." (emphasis mine)
Wow. That is sweet. Knowing God in Christ is essential for thinking Christianly and walking in wisdom.

How to Walk in Wisdom
Who wants to be foolish? I don't. I suspect you don't either. Recently I was reading in the Psalms and came across some encouraging and challenging words I wanted to share with you. This is a prayer of David that we can all learn from.
Teach me how to live, O Lord.
Lead me along the right path,
for my enemies are waiting for me. – Ps. 27:11
Three Observations to Help Us Walk in Wisdom
(1) We must invite God to teach us how to live. This makes the obvious and sometimes uncomfortable assumption that we need to learn–we don't know everything. Ouch.
Recently our dishwasher started leaking. That's a problem because if something breaks around the house, I'm not the guy you want fixing it! But in this case I was the best (and only) solution and our budget agreed. So I recognized very quickly that I needed to learn something about how dishwashers worked. Thankfully dishwasher experts left a trail of YouTube videos for me to follow and my ignorance on this particular problem evaporated. You will be happy to know that we are no longer hand washing all the dishes!
(2) We need a reliable guide. This observation is equally humbling. We don't always know where we are going. In fact, truth be told, we often don't know where we are going. We're too stubborn to ask for directions when we know (and everyone else around us knows) that we're truly lost. We think we are on the right path because it feels good to us. But this approach can be very dangerous. As the book of Proverbs reminds us:
"There is a path before each person that seems right, but it ends in death" (14:12)
Ps. 27:11 clearly teaches that there is a "right" path and by definition this also means there is a wrong path. Whether we happen to believe it or not, there are paths that are spiritual dead ends, morally and relationally toxic, physically harmful, and intellectually dangerous.
Because God loves us he doesn't want us to take those paths. We need someone who has been there and knows the paths and can coach us in navigating harmful and helpful paths. "When people do not accept divine guidance, they run wild. But whoever obeys the law is joyful" (Prov. 29:18). We need someone who can give us knowledge of how to truly live.
(3) We have real enemies that are trying to harm us. It is easy to forget this truth. Sometimes we are too busy to notice or we are naive when it comes to knowing our own hearts. But there are enemies we need to be aware of waiting to attack from within and from without. God's Word is clear on this:
"Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever." (1 John 2:15-17)
"Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour." (1 Peter 5:8)
What we watch, listen to, think about. How we spend our time. Who we spend our time with. Who we invite to teach us. What we say yes and no to–all are leading us toward life or death. And we need to remember that we have an enemy that is actively trying to destroy us. We don't need to walk in fear, but we do need to be alert so that we don't blindly step into traps.
One of the first steps to walking in wisdom is to take the truths contained in David's prayer recorded in Psalm 27:11 seriously. Pray them and apply them. We need to invite God to teach and guide us while we are on the look out for the enemies that seek to destroy us.

The Indispensable Role of Tests in the Christian Life
Tests. Ugh. Sometimes I wish I had finished with them when I graduated from school. No more homework. No more tests. Sounds great right? Unless there is more to it than that when it comes to the spiritual life.
Recently I re-read some words from The Divine Conspiracy by Dallas Willard that helped me rethink this approach again:
"First we must accept the circumstances we constantly find ourselves in as a place of God's kingdom and blessing. God has yet to bless anyone except where they actually are, and if we faithlessly discard situation after situation, moment after moment, as not being "right," we will simply have no place to receive his kingdom into our life. For those situations and moments are our life."
These tests and situations are opportunities. Though well stated, Willard did not come up with this idea. The brother of Jesus did:
"Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." – James 1:2-4 (NASB)
Comfort is not God's goal for my life–wow that is even painful to type! Being a disciple means doing homework and taking tests–not to earn God's favor or merit his grace, but to grow. Growth is not comfortable but it is good, necessary, and what we were made for. This is another reason why theology matters.
God help me receive todays's circumstances–as husband, father, friend, co-worker–as an opportunity to grow. Help me pass the test for your glory and my ultimate benefit. Help change my perspective.
Learn how to question the Bible without losing your faith.

Mexico at Peace
Today, violence in Mexico is declining.
-According to INEGI, in 2014, the number of homicides was 24.3% lower than in 2012 and 27.7% lower than in 2011.
-Thus, the homicide rate per 100,000 residents has fallen from 22.1 in 2012 to 16.4 in 2014.
Most high-impact crimes have also decreased.
-According to the National System of Public Security, in 2014, the Total Crime Rate in the Common Law Courts for every 100 thousand inhabitants was 1,328, the second lowest rate in the past 17 years.
-Between 2012 and 2014, robbery fell by 13.6% while extortion rates declined by 20.7%.
-Kidnapping rose between 2012 and 2013, which led us to establish the National Anti-Kidnapping Strategy. As a result, during the first seven months of 2015, reports of kidnapping fell by 30.1% in comparison with the same period in 2014.
Thanks to the joint efforts of the Security Cabinet agencies, 92 of the 122 most dangerous criminals no longer pose a threat to society.
According to the National Public Security System, in municipalities with over 100,000 inhabitants where prevention efforts are in place, homicides have fallen by 35%, in other words, four times more than in other municipalities where the program has yet to be implemented.
The new Criminal Justice System is already partially operating in 25 states and fully operational in six.
-At the federal level, this new system is already in place in eight states and it is estimated that by the end of the year, it will be operating in 14.
Inclusive Mexico
The National Crusade against Hunger benefits 4.5 million people through various actions, including over 7,800 community kitchens.
-According to the Report on Interim Results produced by CONEVAL, from 2013 to 2015, all forms of social deprivation among the program's beneficiaries included in the study declined.
-Thus, 57.5% of them overcame food shortages, while the number of people without access to health services fell to less than one-third, from 32.9% to just 9.2%.
Social programs have been strengthened and transformed.
-LICONSA expanded its coverage to the countryside and now has another 1,600 dairies, while the number of DICONSA stores increased by 1,900. -As a result of the Without Hunger Food Support Card, more than 731,000 families can purchase 19 basic products at a discount.
-OPORTUNIDADES became the PROSPERA Social Inclusion Program, which now supports 6.1 million families.
CONEVAL's Measurement of Poverty in Mexico 2014 reported that 100,000 Mexicans overcame extreme poverty.
-There are fewer people in extreme poverty in 20 states, particularly Guerrero, where numbers fell by 22.7%.
We support the everyday efforts of women who contribute to the progress of their families, their communities and their country.
-The children of 5.7 million women are protected through the Life Insurance Scheme for Female Heads of Household.
PROSPERA and the National Crusade against Hunger supports 1.5 million indigenous families.
-Support is provided to 75,000 indigenous children and young people to enable them to continue their studies.
-Likewise, 14,000 productive projects for 186,000 indigenous people have been supported.
Mexico values the efforts of its elders.
-The Senior Citizens' Pension Program has 5.5 million beneficiaries, 2.5 million more than in 2012.
We are committed to children's health and development.
-In 2014, 97.8% vaccination coverage against measles, mumps and rubella was achieved among one-year-old infants (compared with 86.8% in 2012).
-5.5 million Human Papillomavirus Vaccinations have been applied, protecting over 90% of 11-year-old girls.
We work so that more Mexicans can have access to public health services.
-The number of Popular Insurance Scheme affiliates exceeds 57 million; 4.4 more than at the beginning of this administration.
-Over 500 hospital units and more than 2,500 outpatient units have been built, completed or modernized.
So far during this administration, the new National Housing Policy has permitted the construction of 868,500 homes across the country.
-The sector has obviously recovered: 304,900 houses were built in 2013 as opposed to 413,800 in 2014, equivalent to a 35.7% increase.
-As a result of this policy, 2.9 million families have received funding and subsidies to purchase a new or used home, or even to improve it.
Mexico with Quality Education
Through the implementation of Education Reform, thousands of people have expressed their desire to become teachers.
-To date, 332,000 have taken the entrance examinations.
-Similarly, 46,500 in-service teachers have actively participated in the Promotion Contests.
As a result of the Education Reform Program, over 7.5 billion pesos have been channeled into 20,000 schools.
-At the close of 2015, the Decent Schools Program will have improved the facilities of 15,800 schools, a third of which in indigenous communities.
-Full-time schools have more than tripled in this administration ─from 6,708 to 23,182 and over half provide meals for students.
-We are dealing firmly with the challenge of digital literacy. Nearly one million laptops and tablets have been delivered to children and teachers in 5th grade.
In Elementary Education, 5.2 million grants were awarded during the past school year.
Secondary Education serves 5 million students, meaning that coverage has increased 8.6 percentage points during this administration to 74.5%.
-Today, half the young people enrolled in public institutions at this level have grants.
In Higher Education, coverage rose to 34.1%, meaning that there are 270,000 more students.
Expenditure on Scientific and Experimental Research ─both public and private─has increased by 32.7% in real terms in comparison with 2012.
-Public investment in these areas has reached a record high this year: 87.399 billion pesos.
Mexico with Global Responsibility
In three years, working trips were paid to 28 countries and 81 visits from Heads of State and Government were received. The main progress includes the following:
-With the United States we are building a multi-thematic relationship, with progress in the economic, energy and academic fields.
-We have deepened our economic, cultural and diplomatic relations with the Pacific Alliance countries.
-The FTA with Panama came into force on July 1.
-16 agreements were signed with the United Kingdom.
-112 bilateral agreements were signed with France.
-We have intensified our bilateral dialogue with Korea, China and Japan, opening up new opportunities for cooperation, trade and investment.
Prosperous Mexico
Thanks to the commitment of millions of Mexicans, tax revenue rose by 186 billion pesos in 2014.
-During the first half of 2015, tax revenue reached a new record high of 13.6% of GDP. In other words, 5.2 percentage points higher than in 2012.
In the first half of 2015, oil revenues accounted for only 18.6% of total government revenue.
-This contrasts with the nearly 40% registered in 2012.
Today, Mexico has 49.6 million taxpayers. In other words, 11.2 million more than at the beginning of December 2012.

Truth be told I was planning to share my goals for year three of my blogging journey with you all today but then Target decided to have a BOGO 50% off on so many amazing fall shoes and I knew it was my duty to share my faves with you today! The slight break in the heat here in Texas has me all giddy to wear some fall clothes and after browsing this sale I know there are a few pair I need to try pronto!
First things first! If you have not registered for my 2 year Blogiversary giveaway, you are going to want to hop over here and sign up to win a Rodan + Fields Redefine Skincare regimen!
I happened to see this pair of dv for Target over the knee boots in the store last week. I'm super sad they do not come in black as I have a pair of Steve Madden's from last year the same color. My stylish friend at work, Annette, called to ask me what I thought about a petite girl wearing OTK boots and I immediately told her she should go try them. Not only did she love them, she let me know both she and her daughter bought a pair for BOGO 50% off! Y'all, the reviews on these are really great and if OTK are on your list I would definitely jump online and order a pair! If you are looking for another color like me, the Journee collection boots are also at Target and look promising.
In Texas, booties are truly a life saver to transition from summer to fall. Not as hot as a taller boot but still look the fall part. And seriously, how cute are these rainboots??!!!
I really do think I'm going to have to order several pair of block heels to try as well as a heeled sandal maybe in an animal print? So many cute options and from what I can see many have great reviews. I wore the mess out of my Huarache sandals this year and, while mine are Steve Madden, these are a dead ringer and probably more comfy.
In case you missed yesterdays post, I also shared a before and after makeup look sampling Younique cosmetics. If you would like to try out some of what gave me this look, I'm hosting a back to school virtual party. Shop Younique here!
It's all things back to school over here as we head into the last weekend before the big first day! I shared some of my Back to School Memories on Tuesday as part of the Spiel the Beans linkup which is still open if you have a new or old post to share! I will be planning meals, organizing schedules and getting everyone back to an earlier bedtime. Hope you all have a super weekend!
Click the image for all my faves!
Let's Get Social

Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pains taken to bring it to light." – George Washington
Child abuse is the great shame of the modern world. From a purely sociological perspective, we have made a singular cultural habit of ignoring, repressing and even denying its scale and impact. It is as if the proverbs 'see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil' and 'out of sight, out of mind' were created with child abuse in mind. It is only through the bravery of survivors who speak out about their experiences, overcoming public prejudice and numerous other personal and societal pressures, that we are now aware of the extent of this evil in our society – and that is just the tip of the iceberg. The social impact of shining a public light on the darkened private places of our world cannot be overestimated.
The Savile Effect
"The Savile Effect" refers to the considerable increase in disclosures of abuse made since the UK media first reported in October 2012 on Operation Yewtree's investigation into the sexual assaults inflicted by Jimmy Savile and by other media personalities. By December 2012, the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre was reporting a 30 per cent rise in reports of abuse, while calls to the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children had increased by 200 per cent. Scotland Yard also reported that the publicity surrounding the Savile scandal had prompted a fourfold increase in reports of sexual abuse in London. We commented on this effect in a recent blog.
Anecdotally, in the Bolt Burdon Kemp Child Abuse team we have noticed a significant increase since late 2012 in people wanting our assistance to pursue claims against those responsible for their abuse. A similar result was seen when, following media appearances in December 2014 discussing the claims our firm is taking against the Scout Association, we fielded several hundreds calls from people enquiring about pursuing their own claims against the Scouts.
Accused abusers have been quick to label the Savile Effect as simply people jumping on a bandwagon in the hope of obtaining monetary compensation, such as in Rolf Harris' recently leaked letter from prison, but nothing could be further from the truth. The reports of Operation Yewtree gave abuse survivors a voice. It made them feel that they would be believed and supported – when for years, their abusers had told many of them that they would be considered liars if they told anyone, or that the victims themselves were the ones to blame for the abuse. Sexual abuse and all that accompanies it – grooming, physical and emotional abuse – is about power, above all, and power survives and thrives on the disenfranchisement of others.
The recent phenomenon of near-daily media reports of sexual abuse by those in power has started to shift the scales here in the UK, leading to many successful civil claims, criminal prosecutions and public inquiries, including the Statutory Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse. Would a similar approach work in other counties, such as the United States?
An Open Secret
On Friday 5 June 2015, the documentary 'An Open Secret' was released in the United States, initially screening in New York, Seattle and Denver, following a limited New York release in November 2014. Marketed as "the movie Hollywood doesn't want you to see", the film alleges the abuse of child actors by a paedophile ring within the American film industry, consisting of managers, agents, publicists and directors. The abuse is said to have often occurred at drug and alcohol fuelled parties, following grooming of both the victims and their families, and the film apparently pulls no punches in revealing the identities of the accusers and the accused.
The film suggests that this is common knowledge within the industry, but that the high profile predators are protected by the studio system in order to avoid a scandal and to protect their profits. They are the Hollywood Establishment.
Sadly, this is far from the first time such allegations have been made. The allegations against Michael Jackson are probably the most well-known example. More recently, in his 2013 autobiography Coreyography, Corey Feldman disclosed the abuse that he and fellow child actor Corey Haim had suffered as child actors (incidentally, in his book Feldman denied ever being abused by his close friend Michael Jackson). Feldman reported a conversation in which Haim had told him that, while filming in 1986, at age 14:
"…an adult male convinced him that it was perfectly normal for older men and younger boys in the business to have sexual relations, that it was what all the guys do. So they walked off to a secluded area between two trailers… and Haim [was] sodomized."
As perhaps might be anticipated, 'An Open Secret' has struggled to gain distribution. It has been rejected by numerous festivals, including in the UK. It has been cut to remove any refence to the abandoned 2014 lawsuit against director Bryan Singer. Director Amy Berg released the current version without making all of the cuts demanded by the Screen Actors Guild under the implied threat of litigation – which is a fascinating story in itself.
While to date I have been unable to see the film – which, as yet, appears to have no release date outside the US – some reviewers describe that the reported legal and industry apathy towards the abusers is in some ways more shocking than the abuse and its devastating lifelong effect on the victims. For instance, the film notes that certain convicted and registered sex offenders are apparently still allowed to work with children in Hollywood.
An Open Secret – Reviews
Critical reviews of the film have been largely favourable. Indiewire calls the film:
"a bold, incendiary look at a topic many people would rather avoid. In an ideal world, Amy Berg's daring exposé "An Open Secret" will launch uncomfortable conversations and start an intelligent, long-overdue dialogue about sexual abuse in Hollywood… an incisive and utterly unflinching look at a subject too rarely scrutinized."
Filmjournal.com describes the film as:
"Devastating and disheartening… paints a chilling portrait of endemic child abuse at all levels of the movie and TV industry and the lack of any appetite for corrective action… The systemic and routine nature of what they describe is the film's most disturbing aspect…"
With comments that could just as easily be applied to accusations made against the Establishment and media personalities on this side of the Atlantic, the Hollywood Reporter's review describes the film as:
"A sober look at accusations that lend themselves to sensationalism… with any luck it will encourage other victims to speak up, and enlighten the parents of showbiz aspirants about the industry's dangers… With such minor consequences for those who've been convicted, is it any wonder that so few relatively powerless youths are willing to endure the shame and professional consequences of coming forward?"
An Open Secret – Impact
While challenging documentaries can have an enormous societal impact, such as Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth, this depends on the documentaries being widely seen. Unfortunately, An Open Secret has not been a success in that regard to date. One of the Denver cinemas at which it is screening calls it the lowest-grossing film the cinema has had in 26 years. This is probably a result of the confronting subject matter, and our cultural apathy towards it, as described above.
Whatever the reason, it may be that this film may better reach an audience by being released on a service such as Netflix or by being otherwise distributed online. Hopefully, somehow, this important film will be seen by enough people that dialogue – and action – will ensue, and that Hollywood will experience its own version of the Savile Effect.

Ladies, we all know that not everything we hear is 100% true. And this comes to stuff we hear all the time about food too! And it's very important for everyone to know the right facts about what we eat in order to have a sensible diet for our overall health and wellness. So today we bring you a list of 7 popular food myths that do the rounds all the time, and are absolutely not true!
This popular myth has been doing the rounds for ages now. It's true that water works wonders for your body, but too much of it can actually damage your liver and system severely. Not to mention that water molecules are also found in food stuffs and other beverages.
Wrong! Chocolate, in fact, can do wonders for your health. This tasty bar is loaded with antioxidants and endorphins, which is great for battling stress and lifting your mood up. A recent study also showed that daily consumption of cocoa-flavonol-containing dark chocolate can lower cholesterol and improve blood pressure. The next time someone tells you that eating chocolate is bad for you, tell them to read this.
Poor diet, irregular exercise, genetics and a lethargic lifestyle causes type 1 diabetes - sugar is not the cause of it. However, including the ingredient in all your food stuffs can increase the risk of getting it, so caution is advised!
Fruits here are the real deal! Unlike in packaged/canned juices, there's no added fats, sugar or preservatives, to keep it fresh. These juices are often adulterated and contain very less fruit pulp. If you're a juice person, we recommend you consume fresh juice. Make your own at home!
Don't pay heed to myths just because they are popular, ladies. Research your food, and accordingly take a call on what's healthy and what's not. Eat safe, eat wise!

Just another reason why Philip Larkin has beat Robert Frost for the position of my own personal favorite poet:
Next year we are to bring all the soldiers home For lack of money, and it is all right. Places they guarded, or kept orderly, Must guard themselves, and keep themselves orderly. We want the money for ourselves at home Instead of working. And this is all right. It's hard to say who wanted it to happen, But now it's been decided nobody minds. The places are a long way off, not here, Which is all right, and from what we hear The soldiers there only made trouble happen. Next year we shall be easier in our minds. Next year we shall be living in a country That brought its soldiers home for lack of money. The statues will be standing in the same Tree-muffled squares, and look nearly the same. Our children will not know it's a different country. All we can hope to leave them now is money.
Philip Larkin, Homage to a Government

2001 Honda Accord Sedan - Consumer Review

By Educatedblkm on
Vehicle2001 Honda Accord EX 4dr Sedan (2.3L 4cyl 5M)
ReviewI bought my 2001 Accord EX in 2000, and currently have about 46,000 miles
on it, so far no major problems. Paint on the rear bumper is scratched /
pealing, but I don't know if that is a result of living in NYC or poor
manufacturing. Additionally the rear seat teather cover for carseats came
off, the rubber started to come off around one of the rear windows, and the
clutch was sticking during cold starts. All problems were fixed free of charge
(I got it all done before my warrenty expired) and I haven't had any serious
problems at all. So far, I must say I luv this car (although my 4 cyl. can use
a little more punch).
Best FeaturesControls on steering wheel, not having to worry about repairs, roominess, 6 disc changer AND a tape deck (not either or), ride quality, etc...
Worst FeaturesPealing paint on rear bumper (I've noticed it on a lot of other hondas and nissans, but again maybe it's a NY thing), more aggressive styling, navigational system

Every small town has an eccentric or two, and Killdeer, New York, is no exception. Morgan Mason attracts more than a few stares and local resentments when he drives through town on his tractor wearing a skirt. But minor small-town annoyances become more serious when the Skirt Man is killed in a tragic house fire in what some say is a case of spontaneous human combustion.The fire occurs during a benefit ballet performance starring local Meredith Bly, and Meredith's father, State Trooper Sebastian Bly, and her uncle, Fire Marshal Billy Nightingale, are called in to investigate. Charred wood and chair remnants at the fire scene lead Sebastian and Billy to uncover clues that reveal hidden conflicts and a shocking discovery that will change the lives of everyone in Killdeer.
"The details of the investigation are fascinating; Reuben writes what she knows, and it shows." (Publishers Weekly)
"[Reuben] is an adroit storyteller with a gift for creating quirky and compelling characters." (San Diego Union-Tribune)

Great Gift, a Pigmy Goat!
great use of listening time. fun dialogue, a good mystery, tears and laughter
when the boys gave mary the goat and of course, the opening of the shoe box. This is worth a re-listen. It does start out a bit slow, but you will soon get into and listen straight though as I did.
I found this story as I always look for work done by the late great Ms Fields. This will not disappoint
I will be getting Billy's story as this was his sister's tale.

Skillful writing.
Yes, in fact, the author demonstrated her talent as a writer by exposing social, political and media aspects of a town's life in a very intelligent manner.
The book as a whole is memorable because of the way in which every personage is portrayed
None in particular.
Other than to look for books of the same quality of writing... not really!
I must confess that I bought the book for the title; intriguing as it was, I believed it to be related to the current matters of homosexualism, transvestites or similar subjects. Thus, I was surprised to discover the real premise, which in turn motivated me to read it much sooner than I read most of other books. I'm not fond of historical fiction, but this book has the ingredients that make of it a very pleasant and tasteful way to look at the topics covered by the author.

Want to see the end of HIV in Australia's gay community? We all do. Getting tested frequently is the first step. If we take responsibility for our sexual health at an individual level, and encourage those around us to do the same, we'll be in with a chance. It's up to us to get tested regularly and much more often than we do now.
Don't be afraid to talk to your doctor, establish a comfortable relationship and be proactive about your HIV and STI testing patterns. Look after your mates, especially the ones who rarely test – and help educate and encourage them to be proactive about their testing patterns. Let's support one another and talk about the benefits of regular testing, and we'll be well on our way to ending HIV.
