Hi! I'm Rebecca, but you can call me Becca. I love being creative, it's a true source of joy in my life. I started this blog so I could share all the things I love and created with others so they too could be inspired to create. It has become so much more than I could have dreamed, the opportunities and the friendships I have gained as a result of this simple site amaze me each and every day. I have a passion for everything from crafts & DIY projects, home decor, party planning, jewelry making, to the occasional recipe.
If you were to see me in person you'd see that I am all about t-shirts, jeans, and flip-flops! I'm super laid back, casual, and super funny – I love laughing with others! I love music! I love all genres, but my favorite band to this day is No Doubt. At heart, I'm a surfer girl…granted I've never even attempted to surf! I love the beach, surf apparel, and all that goes with it and maybe just maybe someday I will actually go surfing.
Outside of being one Craft-astic lady I am so privileged to be a Mom to the best gifts of all. God blessed me with these two good looking boys, he knew exactly what I needed in my life when he made them.
I've been lucky enough to have been featured in the following:

Wells Fargo pledges $75,000
Wells Fargo & Company has announced that its team members pledged $75,000 to North Dakota nonprofit organizations and schools through its annual Community Support and United Way Campaign, a 20 percent increase over pledges made by team members in 2008. These donations are in addition to the $50,000 gift Wells Fargo made to the United Way of Cass-Clay and the American Red Cross earlier this year to support disaster relief and recovery following the historic flooding of the Red River in Fargo-Moorhead. This was also the company's most "green" campaign to date with nearly 100 percent of all pledges made online and the elimination of nearly all print marketing materials.
Companywide, team members donated $41.9 million to more than 25,000 nonprofits and schools through the campaign, which was a 21 percent increase over the combined Wells Fargo and Wachovia campaigns last year. Overall, more than 160,000 team members participated in the campaign in some way.
The annual Community Support Campaign runs each fall and allows team members to donate to any 501(c)(3) organizations of their choice. One hundred percent of team member donations go to the organizations they choose. Wells Fargo pays all processing costs and gifts to qualifying schools through the campaign are automatically matched up to $5,000 per team member.

Nyborg, city and port, eastern Funen island, Denmark, on the Great Belt and Nyborg Fjord. Named for the castle (borg) built in 1170 to protect the Great Belt and chartered in 1292, it was the favourite meeting place of the Danehof (assembly of nobles and clergy) from 1282 to 1413. The Great Charter, Denmark's first constitution, was issued there in the former year. A large Swedish army surrendered outside the city in 1659. The castle, birthplace (1481) of King Christian II, was restored in 1923 as a museum. Nyborg was the terminus for the ferry to Zealand, but, with the opening of a tunnel and bridge system across the Great Belt in the late 1990s, traffic now passes north of the city. The city has a large plant that handles chemical waste. Pop. (2008 est.) city, 16,467; (2005 est.) mun., 31,009.

text: I intend on buying this solar charger after I get my Evo, but this and some DYI solar projects I've seen got me thinking... This is a big phone. Big phone = lots of surface area on the case. Why can't I mount a small solar panel on the outside of a hip case with a very short USB cable to plug into it? Might be able to work in some kind of quick release in the cable for easy disconnect when answering calls too but that's all trivial compared to the basic design. You can get small durable weather resistant solar panels for crazy cheap by buying outdoor solar lights and popping the panels out. Wire it up to a chopped USB cable with a small 5V voltage regulator from Radio Shack and mount it to the outside of a case similar to this. I'm worried I might not get enough amperage though. I don't have any experience working with solar panels and I've heard of issues when part of a cell is in the shade but don't know the specifics of it. Anyone have any experience with a DYI project like this? Any input would be appreciated.

Invisible by Damien Savina
Stop for a moment and think about just how powerful that image was.
A borrowed ring rises off your outstretched hand to hover in mid-air. You then visibly push the ring - still hovering - across your palm. Your spectator can now reach out and pluck the ring from mid-air, leaving them no explanation for the miracle that just happened.
That's just one of the SIX full routines you'll learn that you'll be performing after watching this DVD (and practicing of course), as this set contains everything you need to perform, impromptu, right out of the box.
Forget everything you know about invisible thread. The effects taught on this DVD are simply not possible with IT - but no one told that to Damien Savina, the French Magician being heralded as the new King of the Invisible.
Leaving conventional hookups and limitations in the past, Damien has created a set of effects that will permanently burn themselves on the minds of your spectators.
'The best VISUAL FEELING I've had in over 10 years...' - JeanLuc Bertrand
In the BoxThe DVD: Teaching the real work on Six Full Routines in French & English, honed over years of experience that has earned Damien an enviable reputation in underground french magic circles.
The Reel: The high-quality, precision-engineered thread reel surpasses those currently sold for more than three times this entire package. This is the exact reel Damien uses in his show.
The Work: A 12-page dual-language booklet with further teaching, complete credits, performance advice, additional ideas and more to encourage your own creativity with this system.
- Vanish and Reappear a borrowed ring under Impossible conditions
- Perform three-fly where the final coin visibly flies from your hand
- Levitate borrowed objects at the fingertips
- Learn 3 Incredible Haunted Pack routines
- Move hovering objects with the push of a finger
- Shoot a selected card out of the deck
If you've ever wanted to perform pure, spectacular magic that leaves a lasting impression with all those who witness your performance, then Invisible is a can't-miss.
The power of these effects lie in the fact that they are totally impromptu. With this DVD you're set to perform absolute miracles at any time.

Customer Reviews
A: The retracting mechanism in the one I bought broke the very first time I pulled the thread out, you guys replaced it so no harm no foul.
2: I was much more green behind the ears when I purchased this so I did not know for sure if it was an invisible thread reel. If I had known, I would have figured that the traveling coin required another gimmick. You guys changed your "pay for the secret" ways and disclose everything now. I just felt duped because I didn't know what I was buying then, while new customers do know, and can decide if that's something they want AND duped because I thought all the gimmicks ware included to perform the tricks shown.
(Lastly) I don't know if the thread in the real has been updated, but I practiced for days and made it through the entire levitating ring maybe 3 times without the thread breaking. I used to work at a touristy magic shop in San Francisco and an IT trick was the main push, that was one tool that I knew how to use well. Then the thread pulled back into the device and I tried all the tricks in the book, litterally, I even scoured the Internet for tips on getting it back out. Ultimately I broke it trying to fix it.
The effects looked amazing, luckily I recorded one of the successes but I never got a chance to use it for live audience. That experience turned me off of magic quite a bit. Expensive stuff that's made cheap with miss leading, sometimes edited to seem better than they are, trailers is rampant in the magic community I discovered after I found some independent review Web sites. Experts praying on the wallets of beginners is not cool man. I am very glad you guys at Ellusionist chose to reveal upon interest... and glad I can get the spool a la carte if I decide to give it another spin. For reelz
I've had this product for some time now,and I can safely say that it is a wonderful work of art. The DVD was shot clear, and the instructions are the BEST I have ever received. The ITR however is good and in the right conditions like more reels the thread will be invisible, but I feel as if the reels were sloppily put together and the two I bought required me to personally fix them which is a downer. Nonetheless 4 stars for the fantastic thread set-up, it is what true magic should be.
The DVD and instruction is fantastic. For that portion at least 5 stars.
The provided thread is also quite good. It's pretty strong, and in the right conditions invisible.
The reel on the other hand, is very sub par. Sure it works fine, but it doesn't not look and feel like a professional product. The alligator clip is very messily glued on (you can see all sorts of glue stains). The tube is dirty as hell, as if it had already been used but really was just poor constructed. The holes in the tube that I got were improperly drilled and I had to actually fix the holes because the sharp edges was breaking the thread repeatedly, and until I did so I couldn't use it. Basically, sloppy craftsmanship on the thread reel.
Everything else though, fantastic.
This is a beautiful effect, it will take some work but anything worth it does. The set up is simple, but take it easy, there will be some breakage. But Damien has created something great here..the teaching on the dvd is good and the reel is first rate.
I've been putting off reviewing this product for a while now until I've had enough experience with it, so here's my final review.
This product has been owned by me for about 3 weeks now, and I'll admit I have broken it a lot, and yes it is a bit of a pain in the butt to fix when you first start. After a while, however, you get the hang of fixing it. I'd say I've been caught using this reel 1/10 times I perform any Invisible trick, but my backup plan is to just rip it up and say there was girl hair on me accidentally and had nothing to do with the trick. Believe it or not that excuse actually works and I get away with it. However, the string is still visible nonetheless, but the quality is better than most. Overall, I like it.
I love using magic as an attention getter in various settings so I can springboard into a full-on performance. After all, who but the most jaded person can't help but to stop and stare in awe at impossible visual magic?
I've played with various devices and effects and can finally say that invisible is it. The crowds I've drawn are mesmerized as a spectator nervously takes the ring and from there they're all mine.
Oh, have I mentioned this effect has already paid for itself in free beer and burgers? Yeah. It has. Amazing.
I absolutely love the effects taught on the DVD, especially the ring effect. It's so amazing to have a spectator interact with the levitation of a small object!
First off, I want to say that I absolutely love this product. The included reel is very nice in my opinion, and is not hard to hide if you follow instructions.
The thread itself is strong and completely invisibly except if you have improper lighting for the trick, even then it is not to noticeable. Past reviews have complained about it being hard to get the thread out of the reel is you break it. This is not true, and in my experience takes about a minute at most to fix.
The DVD is excellent at teaching you how to perform the illusions although there is no aural instruction. Among other things the DVD covers making a required gimmick, hiding the reel, performances, and practicing.
Over all the this product is very good as well as being easy for a beginner like me to learn, while still packing a punch; a must have item.
3 stars because the thread is really strong and won't break easly and amazed my audience but when broken its a pain to fix i personally had to break it piece by piece and put it back together and its a waist of time so i dont use it any more
GREAT EFFECT! even though I already knew the secret, and how he did the tricks, I went ahead and bought the DVD anyway. NO regrets there! great teaching, even though he does not speak in the tutorial, it has such great teaching technique You'll understand it like if it was third grade math. overall a great trick, and easy to learn. the thread might break several times before you understand its strength, but you might get it straight away as well. I bought this effect at the same time as a buddy of mine, he broke his thread several times and gave up, but
I found it rather easy after playing with it for a while. I STRONGLY suggests buying this effect. <<ADD TO CART>> :)

Барон Майгель
Русский > Персонажи > Московские персонажи > Барон Майгель
The "dear baron Meigel, an employee of the Spectacles Commission", entered the ballroom quite alone. In his function as guide he acquaintd people with places of interest in Moscow. Margarita recognized this Meigel. She had come across him several times in Moscow theatres and restaurants. As soon as the baron had learned of Woland's arrival in Moscow, he offered him "his expertise".
But Woland saw through Meigel. He said that rumours have spread about the baron's "extreme curiosity". In other words: he's a spy. He suspects that Meigel had tried to manoeuvre himself in his favour in order to eavesdrop on him as much as possible. And he kills him at the spot.
The real prototype for Baron Meigel's character is Baron Boris Sergeevich Shteiger (1892-1937). In the '20's and '30's he worked in Moscow at the People's Commissariat for Enlightening, Department Visual Arts, the Наркомпрос (Narkompros), and simultaneously as an agent of the NKVD. Shteiger is mentioned several times in the diaries of Elena Sergeevna. He was often found at the US Embassy and he reported on foreigners connected with the theatre, and on Soviet citizens having contact with the embassy. Shteiger was often at the excentric receptions organised by the American ambassador William Bullitt in the years 1934-1936. One of these parties, the 1934 Christmas party, inspired Mikhail Bulgakov for his description of Satan's Grand Ball in The Master and Margarita.
Mikhail Bulgakov and Elena Sergeevna were regular guests at the parties organised by William Bullit. When they were at one of these parties, on April 23, 1935, they were taken back home with a car of the embassy, and Baron Boris Shteiger suddenly accompanied them. Elena Sergejevna said that they didn't know him, but that he was famous in Moscow and always found "around foreigners".
Shteiger had good connections abroad. His brother was the poet Baron Anatoly Sergeevich Shteiger (1907-1944) and his sister was the poetess Baroness Alla Sergeevna Shteiger-Golovina (1909-1987). Both escaped during the revolution. They lived successively in Turkey, Czechoslovakia, France and Switzerland. Sister Alla moved to Brussels in 1955. Their father, baron Sergey Edwardovich Shteiger (1868-1937) was, before the revolution, deputy in the Duma for the Kanev district in Ukraine.
Shteiger was arrested and shot in 1937, together with Avel Sofronovich Enukidze (1877-1937), a Georgian who, from 1922 to 1935, was chairman of the boards of the Bolshoi Theatre and the Moscow Art Theatre MKhAT and who was, like Shteiger, also working for the Narkompros. Enukidze plays also a role in The Master and Margarita: he was the prototype of Arkady Appolonovich Sempleyarov, the self-satisfied chairman of the Acoustics Commission of the Moscow Theatres, who said in chapter 12 that "the mass of spectators demanded an explanation". As a result, Koroviev gave an unexpected explanation: he revealed that, the night before, Arkady Sempleyarov had visited the actress Militsa Andreevna Pokobatko, with whom he spent some four hours, while his wife believed that he was at a meeting of the Acoustic Commission.
Charles Thayer, an employee at the American Embassy in Moscow in Bulgakov's time, mentioned baron Shteiger in his book Bears in the Caviar (1951) - the same book in which he described the notorious 1934 Christmas party:
"By 1937 the great Soviet purge trials were getting under way and the isolation of foreigners in Moscow was practically complete. One after another of my old friends either had disappeared or broken off all contact with us. It had never been easy to have friends among the Russians, and it hurt when the few who had been friendly with us began to turn their backs when they saw us in the streets or in the foyer of the Opera House. Every two or three days we read in the papers the name of some acquaintance who had been convicted of espionage or had confessed to sabotage or had been denounced as a traitor: Tukhachevski, Yegorov, Radek, Bukharin and the fabulous Baron Shteiger.
Shteiger came from an old Baltic family and at the time of the Revolution had thrown in his lot with the Soviets. Some people said that he did it to get permission for his father to emigrate to France. Whatever the reason he seemed to have served the Soviets weIl. He was a cultured man with an excellent sense of humour and a fund of stories which he loved to teIl in flawless French. He had some mysterious connections in the Kremlin and often served as a short cut between it and the foreign Embassies where he spent most of his time. Once after Stalin had told one of our Ambassadors how much he liked Edgeworth pipe tobacco, it was Shteiger to whom I was told to deliver a tin of Edgeworth once a month.
As the tempo of the purges increased, Shteiger seemed to grow more and more depressed. But he never failed to turn up at every diplomatic function. One evening after a cocktail party at the Embassy I was taking Shteiger home in my car. The newspapers that day had announced that several of our mutual friends had been executed by the usual Soviet method - shot through the back of the head.
As we drove through the cold snowy streets Shteiger was unusually silent. I tried to make conversation about the weather. 'Yes,' he finally replied. 'It is dangerous weather - very treacherous. In times like these one must be very careful to protect the back of one's head.' He stroked his neck and smiled. Then he lapsed into silence.
The very next day Shteiger failed to turn up at an Embassy party. A few weeks later Pravda announced that Boris Sergeivich Shteiger had been discovered to be a traitor and had been shot-through the back of the head."

Channel Balance from old Alcan Windows 26 inches
A landlord from Masset, BC, Canada says:
May 30, 2016
The metal channel is 26 inches long. On the back of the metal the letters " 25A " are engraved. The interior of the channel contains 3 spools in a little pulley style system. The channel is 9/16 inches deep. The foot at the bottom end of the channel looks like a backhoe, and has no identifying marks on it. The coil spring which is supposed to go in the channel is 6 3/4 inches long. The channel has one horizontal "pin" about 3.5 inches from the top. It was taken out of an old (40 years at least) Alcan non-tilting window. Any help identifying would be appreciated, we need to replace quite a few of these parts in our old windows. Thank you!
Tom from SWISCO responded:
June 1, 2016
I'm afraid I can't identify what you have based on this picture alone. I recommend that you look at our Channel Balance Home Page and follow the steps in order to find the Series that best matches what you have.
A landlord from Masset, BC Canada says:
June 1, 2016
Hi Tom -- Would it be helpful to have a picture of the other end of the channel balance, for identification? Also, what are the features we should be looking at for identification, when we use the home page to find the series? How closely do the plastic parts need to match in order to be functional? Thank you!
Tom from SWISCO responded:
June 2, 2016
Seeing the other end would help us find a match, yes. In terms of matching your Series, it's important that the two nylon ends are the same size and more or less the same shape. You also need to confirm whether your ends have wings or not. Your bottom shoe, I can see, does not have wings.

Flat address space
The memory architecture in which any memory location can be selected from a single contiguous block by a single integer offset.
Almost all popular processors have a flat address space, but the Intel x86 family has a segmented address space. A flat address space greatly simplifies programming because of the simple correspondence between addresses (pointers) and integers.

◄ Prayer for 1 Samuel ►
Prayer For Loss And Deep GriefO God, I come to You filled with hurt and sadness and even anger because of my great loss. Lord I know that You have a plan for each of our lives – but I am in such pain and grief that it is hard to focus on the truth that You do care and that You have had to face deep grief and loss too. Lord my hurt and pain runs deep and I feel that my heart is breaking – I ask you to touch my hurting heart.
I know Lord that You are the God of comfort and that You have been with me every step of the way and ask You to draw ever closer to me at this time for I feel that my whole world has been shattered.
I find it hard when people who don't understand try to say words that they think are comforting but sometimes it makes the hurt even worse and I feel hurt and so very, very alone.
Lord I know it is true that in time the pain will lessen but please be with me – hold me close and stead me, for I know that without You I could not face another day – another hour.
I keep thinking about that song we used to sing when I was younger, never a heartache, and never a groan, never a teardrop, and never a moan, ever a danger but there on the throne, moment by moment He thinks of His own.
Hold me Lord I pray, and keep me moment by moment…
Moment by moment I am kept in Your love,
Moment by moment I've life from above,
Looking to Jesus till glory doth shine,
Moment by moment, O Lord, I am Thine
Thank You Lord that You are my God,
Prayer Of Gratitude For My Home And FamilyLoving heavenly Father You have been with me in good times and in the bad times and I lift my hands up to You in gratitude for my home and for the family, into which You have so lovingly placed me.
You Lord have filled our home with so many blessings – and even when times have been tough and the circumstances of life have been very difficult, You have blessed me with such a loving family - which is becoming more and more of a blessing with each passing day – How I thank You Lord Jesus and bless Your holy name.
Thank You Lord for my parents, who have been so supportive of me -not only in my early years but also as I have grown older. I pray Your blessing on both of them and also on the wider family too – my aunts and uncles – brothers and sisters – nephews, nieces, cousins and grandparents – all of whom have been a blessing in their own special way.
I specially thank You for my spouse and the joy of seeing our own children born into the world and growing up into responsible adults – oh and Lord for the miracle of seeing the birth of my own precious grandchildren. What a joy this has been and how I praise You for all Your goodness and mercy to me.
And Lord thank You for all those who are in the wider body of Christ, – my brothers and sisters around the world, that have become such and important part of my eternal family. Thank You for the wonderful joy of knowing that we will all be united with You in love in heavenly places in the days to come, when we are given our glorified bodies in the eternal state. There are no words that are sufficient to express the gratitude I have that You are my Father –my Brother - my Lover – my Friend, in Jesus name I pray,
Prayer For My Unsaved GrandmaDear Lord, I just want to bring my dear Grandma to You. Lord she has always put off making a commitment to follow You and to trust in Jesus as saviour – but Lord she is advancing in years and probably does not have much longer in this world. Lord I want my beloved granny to be with us in heaven and up to now she has been very resistant to the gospel of Christ.
Lord I pray that You would convince her of sin and convict her of her need of a Saviour and I pray that she may turn to Christ before she leaves this world, knowing that if she refuses she will have to face eternal separation from You, Father,
Lord I love my grandmother and I know that You do too - and I also know that it is not Your will that anyone should perish but that all should come to repentance – please Lord.. visit her and I pray and Lord I do pray that she will accept the Lord Jesus as her personal Saviour, before it is too late. In Jesus name I pray,
Prayers For Those That Are In NeedDear God, I know that it is Your will to help those that are afflicted - to support the weak; to provide for the widows and orphans – and to help those that are in need.
Use my hands to be of service to those in need and use my voice to speak words of healing and encouragement to those that are afflicted and in distress.
Thank You for hearing my prayer,
Prayer For the Future Spouse of My Grandchildren
Dear heavenly Father, thank You for the lives of each of my lovely grandchildren that You have so graciously brought into my life – and which give me such joy and pleasure - for which I praise and thank You.
Lord You have scheduled every day of their lives and I pray that as they grow up into adulthood You would continue to lead and guide - to instruct and to correct. Father I also pray that You would develop in each one a heavenly perspective and a true understanding of the Christian life and spiritual maturity so that they grow in grace and in a right relationship with You.
Bring the right spouse into the life of each of these dear grandchildren of mine I pray. In Your grace I pray that they be granted the husband or wife of Your choice, so that together they may become a threefold cord with You – which is not easily broken..
Thank You Lord so much for every one of my grandchildren…Into YOUR hands I commit each one and may they sense Your calling on their lives, so that they develop into mighty men and women who love You deeply and trust in You implicitly, in Jesus name I pray,
Amen -
Prepare Our Hearts In This Time Of AdventHeavenly Father thank You for the opportunity for us to once again examine our hearts during this lovely time of Advent, and the faith in Christ Jesus that we confess.
Keep our hearts aglow with love for Jesus and help to wonder more and more about amazing the grace that You have shown towards sinful man, in sending Your only begotten Son to come to earth, as a tiny human baby - so that He could bear the punishment for the sins of the whole world on His holy shoulders.
It never ceases to amaze us that Christ Jesus should set aside His heavenly glory and be conceived of the Holy Spirit by the virgin Mary, birthed into the human family as the promised Seed of the woman and be worshipped as a tiny baby in a humble stable at Bethlehem, by simple shepherds and singing angels alike.
It was Love incarnate that visited the earth so many years ago and that same love that saved us from our sins and came to dwell within the hearts of all that trust in Jesus as Saviour. Heavenly Father, accept our grateful sacrifice of praise – and may we come to know You more and love You better in the days that lie ahead, in Jesus name we pray,
Prayer For Israel's Rain
Heavenly Father, You have promised give Your people their rain in due season so that the land may bring forth its increase. You have promised to send the early and the latter rains and we thank You for Your faithfulness in watering the land of Israel for so many years.
Lord we come again to pray that You would refill us like the Sea of Galilee and pour refreshing rains on the land, so that the rivers will be filled and the land will blossom and bloom and yield its harvest in due season.
Lord as a nation Israel had strayed far from You and has even failed to recognise their Saviour and King - and yet You have not forgotten Your own chosen people and have continued to bless them, despite their unbelief and blindness to the truth of the glorious gospel of Christ. Father we pray for Israel, that You would send an abundance of rain to fill up the depleted reservoirs of water.
Water Your land and bless Your people, Israel we pray and we pray that many may come to recognise the Lord Jesus as their God and Saviour, in Whose name we pray,
Refreshment for Body, Soul and SpiritDear Lord Jesus, You were the One who healed all manner of sickness and diseases when You walked on the shores of Galilee.
I come to You today to ask for Your healing touch in every area of my life, for I am weary in body, mind and spirit. My health is failing and I am not even sure what is wrong with me – except that I need Your touch on my life more that I have ever needed before. Strengthen me in spirit,
I pray that You renew my heart with Your healing touch and refresh me in body, soul and spirit - Thanks You Jesus
Morning Prayer From a GrandmotherDear Lord Jesus, I do thank You for my lovely life and for the wonderful way that You have promised to be with me each day. Thank You for bringing me safely through another night and for the gift of a new and wonderful day - great is Your faithfulness….
Lord I pray that as I prepare to get out of bed and get washed and dressed that You would strengthen my legs and be my support as I go about my daily duties. Give me I pray the strength to busy myself in my little kitchen and keep me from any dangers that may arise.
Be with me I pray as I go to and from the shops and I ask that in Your kindness You would put those people in my path Whom You choose - and help me to be a worthy witness of Your grace and kindness to all I meet – not only in what I say but in the way that I think and act.
Thank You for my wonderful children and for each of their lives and thank You especially Lord for the precious grandchildren that You have placed in my life and for granting me the joy of seeing them start to grow up and develop into the little characters that have so blessed my soul. Lord endue them with Your heavenly grace, enrich them with a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus and may each one grow in grace and in a knowledge of their Saviour and finally Lord bring each one home to rest securely in Your everlasting arms.
Lord I am not getting any younger but I trust You to carry me on eagles wings and give me a song of praise in my heart throughout the day. May I rest in Your love and abide in Your grace until You choose to take me to be with Yourself – for my times are in Your hands. Thank You Lord – in Jesus name I pray,
Prayer For A Grandchild Who Has Gone Astray
Dear Loving Lord, how grieved I am that my precious grandchild whom I love so dearly has chosen to walk away from you and to seemingly forge a future without God in their life.
Lord You know that this dear grandchild has been taught the truth of Scripture from the cradle and has been covered in pray from many quarters – even before being born. And Lord, You know that as a child they were taught the truth of the Lord Jesus and even made a commitment at an early age to accept You as their Saviour… Father it grieves and saddens me and I plead with You to intervene in their life and bring them back to You..
Father I know that nothing can snatch Your little lambs from Your hands or Your Father's hands –and I trust You Lord, that You will keep Your hand upon my grandchild so that they return into Your loving arms of forgiveness….
Thank You Lord that even we become careless and unfaithful to You- You never give up on us.. Lord I trust the future of my grandchild into YOUR hands and pray that whatever it takes – You would draw them back into the way of truth, in Jesus name I pray,
Prayers For Good HealthPrayer of Thankfulness For Health And Strength Loving Father,
I just want to thanks You for the wonderful way that You have kept me in such good health, for so many years, and protected me from so many troublesome diseases.
You have lifted me up when I have been down; supported me through times of weakness and You have also healed me, when I have succumbed to a bed of sickness.
Keep me I pray in good health and strength - let me run and not grow weary and may I be used as a comfort and support to those that are not so fortunate as I.
Reconciliation for an Estranged WifeDear Father God, I am so distressed because my wife of many years has walked out on me, intending to carve out a future without me. Oh Lord, she is my wife and I love her so dearly but we are now estranged from each other and my life is falling apart without her.
I need You Lord, to uphold me with Your gracious right hand and pray that in Your time and Your way You would reconcile our differences and enable us to move forward with greater love and understanding than we had before.
Forgive me Lord for the part that I played in causing this estrangement between us to develop – without recognising the signs that were happening. Lord I was not the husband I could have been – of should have been… and though there were faults on both sides, I pray that You will help us to reconcile the difficulties between us and bring us back together and reunite us in love again. Lord that I may learn to love as You loved us – knowing that love suffers long and in kind – and thinks for the other.. Help me Lord to be the husband I should be – and bring us back into each other arms I pray…
Thank You Lord for hearing my prayer,

Workcover case: does impairment equal incapacity
In this interesting workcover NSW case -wherein an injured worker who, despite the fact that he performed his duties as a slicer, without further injury or incident was terminated after he received his lump sum – we explore whether impairment equals incapacity and whether the employer had a leg to stand on when terminating said injured worker.
We believe that this issue of "fitness for duty" and "risks associated with the undertaking of duties by injured workers" is probably going to become a hot topic of discussion, given the new OHS laws and OHS harmonisation.
Workcover case: does impairment equal incapacity
Summary of the workcover case: Riley and Bindaree Beef Pty Ltd [2011] NSWIRComm 1057
In the course of his employment as a slicer for Bindaree Beef, the worker sustained injuries to his shoulders for which he received weekly compensation. Following surgery,Mr Riley (the injuerd worker) also receive a lump sum compensation for 40% loss of efficient use of both arms.
However and despite the fact that Mr Riley performed his his duties as a slicer, without further injury or incident, between May 2009 and October 2010, his employment was terminated by Bindaree Beef (the employer) about one month after he received his workcover lump sum.
The employer (Bindaree Beef) stated and maintained the decision to terminate the injured worker was due to the risk of re-injury. They further stated that they did so in order to fulfill its obligations under OH&S legislation to ensure the health and safety of its employees (and avoid any OH&S liability).
The claim
The injured worker commenced proceedings in the NSW Industrial Relations Commission (NSWIRC) seeking an order for reinstatement pursuant to Sections 242 and 243 of the Workers Compensation Act 1987 (NSW).
Section 242 :Application to Industrial Relations Commission for reinstatement order if employer does not reinstate
- If an employer does not reinstate the worker immediately to employment of the kind for which the worker has so applied for reinstatement (or to any other kind of employment that is no less advantageous to the worker), the worker may apply to the Industrial Relations Commission for a reinstatement order.
- An industrial organisation of employees may make the application on behalf of the worker.
- The Industrial Relations Commission may not make a reinstatement order, except in special circumstances, if the application to the employer for reinstatement was made more than 2 years after the injured worker was dismissed.
- The Industrial Relations Commission may, on such an application, order the employer to reinstate the worker in accordance with the terms of the order.
- The Industrial Relations Commission may order the worker to be reinstated to employment of the kind for which the worker has so applied for reinstatement (or to any other kind of employment that is no less advantageous to the worker), but only if the Commission is satisfied that the worker is fit for that kind of employment.
- If the employer does not have employment of that kind available, the Industrial Relations Commission may order the worker to be reinstated to employment of any other kind for which the worker is fit, being:
(a) employment of a kind that is available but that is less advantageous to the worker, or
(b) employment of a kind that the Commission considers that the employer can reasonably make available for the worker (including part-time employment or employment in which the worker may undergo rehabilitation).
- If the Industrial Relations Commission orders the worker to be reinstated, it may order the employer to pay to the worker an amount stated in the order that does not exceed the remuneration the worker would, but for being dismissed, have received after making the application to the employer for reinstatement and before being reinstated in accordance with the order of the Commission.
Main evidence of the injured worker as provided at the Hearing
- There was medical evidence from both his GP and Orthopaedic Surgeon that the injured worker was/is fit to work as a slicer
- The injured worker had well demonstrated that he could (and did) perform his duties as a slicer without further injury or incident, after his surgery/treatment
- The injured worker had acquired skills to avoid re-injury with the help & training of his rehab providers
- The injured worker's colleagues also gave evidence that the Mr Riley could perform his job to the necessary level /standard required
- The termination issue interestingly only occurred AFTER the injured worker received his lump sum (never before, i.e during return to work, first year etc)
- The Orthopaedic Surgeon stated that he was of the opinion that the risk of injury was no greater than would apply to any other slicer
- The Orthopaedic Surgeon confirmed that impairment does not equal incapacity.
- The IR Commission should only concern itself with whether the Worker is fit for his job not whether there is a risk of re-injury.
Main evidence of the employer (Bindaree) as provided at the Hearing
- A rehabilitation provider engaged by Bindaree (read workcover NSW) maintained the opinion that the injured worker was at risk of re-injury
- The injured worker said he had modified some of his work methods to take into account his injuries.
- The treating doctors did not fully understand the nature of the duties performed by slicers
- The Application was flawed because the reason for termination was not the Worker's unfitness rather it was the risk of re-injury. Therefore Section 241(1) of the Workers Compensation Act 1987 (NSW) was not satisfied that section required that a worker has been terminated on the basis of their unfitness for work.
- Bindaree had to fulfil its OH&S obligations by taking steps to prevent an identifiable risk eventuating and by providing a safe workplace.
The workcover case decision
Commissioner MacDonald made the following comments:
- The Worker was clearly terminated, at least in part, on the grounds that the Bindaree considered he was unfit to perform the inherent requirements of his slicer role due to his injuries, therefore the Commission had jurisdiction to determine the matter.
- Bindaree had not produced any evidence from medical qualified person/s stating that the Worker was unfit or was at risk of re-injury whereas the Worker had evidence from his GP and an orthopaedic surgeon that he was fit for work as a slicer and at no risk of re-injury.
- The Worker had evidence from two fellow workers that he could perform his job as a slicer without risk of injury and that he had performed his role without further incident.
- Bindaree did not raise any issue about the Worker's ability to work as a slicer until the lump sum settlement.
If an injured worker has a degree of permanent impairment (total body impairment as calculated under the AMA guide 4th Edition – in Vic) it does NOT necessary mean that the injured worker should be deemed incapacitated to perform their duty/job!
The total opposite can also apply, for example an injured worker can have zero or a very low degree of permanent impairment (as calculated with those ANCIENT AMA 4th edition guidelines) but yet be totally UNFIT for work

Less than 24 hours after ISIS carried out its first attack against Turkey's capital Istanbul, they did something that should ring alarm bells in the headquarters of the coalitions fighting the Jihadist group.
Three terrorists from the Islamic State's Wilayat Khorasan entered the compound of the Pakistani consulate in Jalalabad and started a well-planned operation that lasted for hours and killed scores of Pakistani and Afghani employees of the consulate.
One ISIS terrorist detonated his suicide belt at the consulate entrance killing the security guards, while the other two entered the building and started to kill members of the consulate staff.
Advertisement - story continues below
During the attack, a second suicide bomber blew himself up while the third terrorist apparently managed to escape after the killing spree.
Wilayat Khorosan issued a multi-language statement describing the attack. The English version of this statement said that "the operation lasted for approximately four hours during which the building was destroyed, and dozens of consulate staff were killed including a number of apostate Pakistani intelligence officers."
TRENDING: Grandson of Charles Manson Speaks Out Following Notorious Killer's Death

According to Afghan officials, all three ISIS terrorists were killed during the attack and only seven members of the security forces of the consulate were killed. "A suicide bomber had tried to join a queue of people seeking visas to Pakistan and blew himself up after being prevented from entering the building," Reuters reported.
Wilayat Khorasan is operating from Jalalabad, the capital of Nangarhar, the province that borders on Pakistan. The self-proclaimed Caliphate is fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan because it claims that the Taliban maintains a close relationship to the Pakistani government. ISIS sees the Taliban as a proxy of Pakistan and accuses Mullah Akhtar Mohammad Mansour the emir Taliban of being an "apostate" who's orders should not be followed.
"The Taliban and the Islamic State's Wilayat Khorasan have clashed on multiple occasions. Late last year, for instance, Mansour's men reportedly beheaded several of the "caliphate's" men. "Voice of the Caliphate" denied this, however, saying the Islamic State's followers are not so weak that they could be executed in such a manner," the Long War Journal reported today.
Wilayat Khorasan also claimed the Taliban are collaborating with the hated intelligence service of Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence [ISI]. The claim could be partly true since ISI has a reputation of backing the Taliban in Afghanistan.
Advertisement - story continues below
By attacking the Taliban and Pakistani governmental institutes, ISIS seems to be paving the way for a larger operation against Pakistan, a country that has always been a fertile breeding ground for Islamism.
At the end of December 2015, Western Journalism already reported the Islamic State was setting up camp next to the Pakistani border with the aim to destabilize Pakistan to the point that the regime in Islamabad will collapse.
The reason for the ISIS activities in the region could be the fact that Pakistan possesses nuclear weapons. Experts have warned that the Islamic State will "inevitably construct or acquire weapons of mass destruction."
ISIS is already in the possession of the chemical agents Sarin and mustard gas. The Caliphate also develops sophisticated weapons in its capital Raqqa, and no doubt would want to get its hands on a nuclear weapon.

LHP Hospital Group
Could There Be A More Visible Spot For A New $400 Million Hospital In Waterbury?
During an interview last month Waterbury Hospital CEO Darlene Stromsted told the Waterbury Observer that high visibility was one of the factors being considered in deciding where to build a $400 million replacement hospital. The electrifying development of a new hospital in the city emerged in September when a capital investment company out of Texas, LHP Hospital Group, partnered with Saint Mary's Hospital, and Waterbury Hospital. The proposed merger is winding its way through the state permitting process, and the final site selection for the new, for-profit hospital, is expected to be announced within the next month. Mayor Neil O'Leary is lobbying hard to get the hospital built in downtown, and if his efforts are successful, could there be a more visible site than the one Saint Mary's Hospital sits on now? Every day there are 45,000 vehicles driving west on I-84 that sweep around a big curve and come face-to-face with Saint Mary's Hospital. If the new hospital is built on that site it will redefine the landscape in Waterbury, and project a modernized image of the Brass City.

The X-12 Mic Preamp captures that 70's aggressive rock sound, sometimes known as the "L.A. Sound". This is our take on the classics. The Input and Output transformers gives this preamp a lot of aggressive, mid-forward flavor. The X-12 has a little of that signature grainy upper mids with a more focused bottom end as one user puts it. Warm, big, punchy... with lots of mojo and character - another user remarked.

Note: The X-12 Mic Preamp Kit and X-12 500 Series have the same audio DNA, and audio path circuitry. This is just a small sampling of customer testimonials. To read more, click here.
I put the X-12 preamp and power supply together in my own 1U rack case. The whole project including machining the chassis was 9.5 hours. Easy to follow instructions and all parts were present. It sounds great on first power up and all functions work. I will be back for more. - Michael Whitney, whitneyamplification.com
Hey, just want to say thanks! I bought one of your X-12 lunchbox pre last month to try it out. I admit I didn't have high expectations due to it's low price, but when I finally got to try it out, WOW! Honestly, I didn't expect this high sound quality. It stands equal with my other pres costing twice as much. But it's the sound, man, it's the sound that matters and this X-12 has got the balls, you nailed it! It just sounds great! I just bought another X-12 a few minutes ago. When I get paid I'll try your X-72 next. Keep up the great work!
Hey Folks, I received my X-12mk500 preamp and wanted to say thanks for the fast shipping, and how great this thing sounds! Fantastic preamp!! - Dave Albro, Capricorn Sound Works, Nashville, TN
You make a damn nice sounding pre. In fact, you make at least 2. After a couple sessions with the X-12 and X-72 I've decided that I need a pair of each. With that in mind, could I repeat my last order of an X-12 and an X-72? Then all I have to do is decide if I fill the last 2 slots of my Lunchbox with PEQ-503s or MX5s. - Andrew M, Canada
At tax time, I wanted to add some nice flavor to my studio. I bought an A-Designs 500-HR rack and (2) 500 series units: a name-brand preamp and the Five Fish Studios X-12. I used both for various purposes over the next 2 months: upright piano, drums (kick, snare, OH,) guitar, bass guitar...And in the end, I got rid of the name-brand preamp and picked up another X-12, no contest. I found the X-12 to be crisper and clearer, easier to use, easy to dial in the perfect gain structure. That's just my personal take on it. I think the name-brand preamp is great but for my money, it will always be the X-12, no contest. - post on Gearslutz.com
The fivefish kits are very high-end, the PCBs are very thick and sturdy, the coating is excellent and very resistant, they look very well done, unlike anything i have ever seen before. - J.Gomez, Analog Recording Forum
Just got my pre-built X-12. its totally rock solid. Messed around with it a little today, great addition to any collection of preamps. The x12 had a little of that signature grainy upper mids with a more focused bottom end. No DI included, but it loves to amp the Countryman DI. I like the meter, its handy. The construction is top-notch, solid knobs and switches, good illumination. You can get in there and swap out the IC for a DOA, etc.. but I think the transformers are making the "sound". Oh yeah, its quiet too. - Andy S, USA
I'm up to (2) SC-1's, (2) X-12's, and a deal pending on (2) X-72's! i'll be sure to take a photo of my full lunchbox and send it to you or your site. i am really enjoying your pres, and i'd like to thank you for making a great sounding, quality product.
I bought an X-12 and iiked it so much that I had to get rid of my other peamp and replace it with another X-12. Kudos on making such an awesome design, I look forward to outfitting my studio with some more of your other tonal options in the near future. - Justin H., USA
I got the X-12's that I ordered hooked up last night and I did some experimenting. Well, I have good news, and I got bad news. The good news is they sound unbelievable! The bad news is they put the rest of my preamps to shame. I'm spoiled now. Man, I love these things. Thanks for all your hard work. - Daniel S., USA
Man, am I impressed by your kits!! Fell in love with the X-12 at my first listen.. Warm, big, punchy... Im glad you guys are out there!! Keep up the good work!! - Fredrik L, Sweden
I bought an X-12 about a month ago and i've finally gotten to play around with it a little bit and I have to say that it's killer on my snare with a Sennheiser e604. I'm actually selling my other preamp and I'm thinking of picking up some more of your units. - Roy H, Canada
I recieved your X-12 pre. It's a great sounding/looking pre. Sounded big, bottom end extended way down..! - Clinton, USA
After weeks of shopping around for the best preamp kits for the money, I finally settled on buying your preamps. Your lunch box pres look awesome and I like how the pres look when sitting together side-by-side. You also delivered on sound quality. Your X-12 pre sounds fantastic on all sources I've tried it. The SC-1 is also a cool workhorse preamp. I can always use it with anything, vocals, guitars, drums, perc. One of these days, I'll try your X-72mk500 preamp. :) Anyway, I just want to say thank you for providing these affordable but high quality kits to us. I look forward to future kits from Fivefish studios. Maybe a compressor next? :) - Daniel R., Canada
Anyway, I still love the X-12 preamps and use them almost exclusively to power my drum overhead mics when doing a kit, and also for just about any lead vocals recorded with the BLUE Kiwi microphone! They are totally great preamps. - http://www.wayoutweststudio.com
I just got an assembled X-12 pair in the mail today. Build quality is excellent. Not much time to mess around with them yet, but I did have a chance to check them out for a few minutes with an SM7B. The only other pres I have in the room at that moment are the pres on my Toft ATB. So I tried that first, and it sounded pretty good. Plugged in the X-12 to compare and HOLY S*** did it sound good. Huge and very detailed. I'm looking forward to putting some distorted gtr through it later tonight. I'm already thinking about picking up another pair, or maybe one of the X-72's. - posted on Gearslutz forum
Just wanted to give you a quick note about the X-12. It's in my nice 500 rack and almost every day up and running. Did some heavy band session checking it out on various instruments with different mics. I love the precision and fatness of the sound - different to all my other 500 pres, but in a positive way.
BTW your X-12 ROCKS. I really like the sound of this pre. I did some experiments with acoustic piano and condenser mics this past weekend... it is REALLY sweet! - Steve K., USA

Wet Carpet Cleaning Machine
Wet carpet cleaning machines, often used in residences, are called extractors. They work by putting water on the dirty carpet and then sucking the now dirty water up again. When this process works well, the carpet is left much cleaner. When using this type of carpet cleaner, care must be taken to avoid overly wetting the carpet, which can discolor or shrink it.

Jan 14 (Reuters) - St Jude Medical Inc said it had received a warning letter from U.S. health officials concerning manufacturing issues at its Sylmar, California, plant, where it makes cardiac rhythm management devices.
In October, the company disclosed that it might receive such a letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
In a regulatory filing on Monday, St Jude said the FDA had noted in the letter that it would not approve certain new product applications until the quality system violations were corrected.
The letter does not identify any specific concerns about the performance of the company's Riata ST Optim or Durata leads or any other St Jude Medical product, the company said.
St Jude said it would continue manufacturing and shipping products from the Sylmar facility, and that customer orders were not expected to be affected while it works to resolve the FDA's concerns.

I was watching Willing Willie for his birthday celebration last week. I just ended up using my calculator computing how much he was giving all throughout the show. And oh boy, it was a no joke, blah-blah - 50 million peso game show…
knowing me, I was crying everytime a contestant would cry. I always just "feel" them. I easily empathize with what they were going through even though I'm blessed to be not living in a shanty or watch T.V. at our neighbor's house…
I easily laugh with all their kabaduyan, laughed on contestants rolling on the floors, cry with them because they are saying true "honest" words that describes "life" – real life for that matter, dancers doing the same stuff everyday, Shalani's –as – if reciting a poem – hosting job!
I am slowly liking the show – much more enjoying Willie's style of hosting and using money and the people who desperately sold their embarrassment to that lucky 1 – 5 thousand pesos that can help them survive their –"toyo" – and rice meal.
In reality, what we see on T.V. is a known fact that, that is how life really is.
This is maybe how desperate Pinoys can get, rolling on the floor, dancing and looking stupid, praising Willie like he is Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt. – These are all understandable… what won't you do for that jaw dropping cash offers. And in the case of these contestants, 5 thousand is like 5 million. And like what I said, 1 million and a house and lot is hard to ignore even by the rich and by the OFW viewers.
Now, I'm asking, what the hell am I blogging about this show??
I had the ff. choices in mind:
I I am really moved and touched by their life stories – somehow I can relate – because my life is like trekking the Chocolate Hills in Bohol.
This is the reality, all the comments were true, and they make me smile because even the slightest live jokes are true. all the crying was real, it was a daily episode of family affairs!!!
Shalani and Will – playing with each other's feelings "kuno" and tickling the viewers are a kilig factor trying to match the love teams in their rival teleseryes in the other channels.
I'm tired of watching the same old teleserye that can easily make me cry – because again, I think I can relate.
I realized that the same night I was watching
Willing Willie;
I was in a bad day of emotional battles with people around me, financial issues, hurting dysmenorrhea and among others – BOOM!!!
The show became my "escape route" to make me feel good that there a lot of other people more miserable than me! it may sound harsh, but it is true... And I have to be thankful to all the angels and saints and most especially to my God and Mama Mary – that I am not a contestant in the show. and that I'm just a viewer watching it from an air-conditioned room on top of my brass bed frames orthopedic mattress... :)- call it arrogance, but that is why I have to be thankful and wake myself up - I'm blessed and I have to look forward to living my life a little better.
the show became my eye opener to move on & get a new life!!!
I ended up praying the rosary
and my novenas after the show!!!
Indeed, I am one Lucky girl.


text: So, if you have read my first post on this site, then you know that I am new here and I am on a spiritual journey. If you have not- then Hi! I am Liz and I'm on a journey to find God and learn as much as I can of God, the Bible, Christianity, etc. from different minds. Recently I have been doing a lot of looking around online for daily inspirations, daily motivations, daily devotionals, etc. This morning I stumbled upon a book for my Kindle which is "The Daily Walk Bible NLT: 31 Days with Jesus." I read the first day of it this morning and I have to say that it has inspired me so much already! Each day is set up with an Overview and some insight as to what you will be reading. Today's reading was that of Matthew 1-4. Of course, I have read the story of Jesus being born before, but somehow reading it this morning really got to me. One of the exercises for today was to highlight/underline anything from the Old Testament in Matthew 1-4 and I did so. One of the verses that stood out to me this morning was "You must not test the LORD your God." This verse really spoke to me. I think it is because last night, I was praying as I have been trying to do every night and I asked God that if he were real, then why doesn't he just give me a physical sign and make it easy on me? Then this morning when I read that verse I realized.. I can't make God do anything. He is Lord for a reason. I need to develop faith and understanding of how He works. I should not tell him what to do. I have to develop a relationship with Him that is based on trust.. and that is what I will begin doing from now on. This is a relatively short post today, but I just wanted to share my experience this morning. Also, I want to take this time to tell everyone who has reached out to me thank you. Your words of encouragement and love are so welcoming and you have all made me feel so special and cared for. -Liz <3

Functional cointegration: definition and nonparametric estimation
We formally define a concept of functional cointegration linking the dynamics of two time series via a functional coefficient. This is achieved through the use of a concept of summability as an alternative to I(1)'ness which is no longer suitable under nonlinear dynamics. We subsequently introduce a nonparametric approach for estimating the unknown functional coefficients. Our method is based on a piecewise local least squares principle and is computationally simple to implement. We establish its consistency properties and evaluate its performance in finite samples. We subsequently illustrate its usefulness through an application that explores linkages between stock prices and dividends via a sentiment indicator.
