How to love a woman.
"You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect - you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there. -Bob Marley

"Introverts, in contrast, may have strong social skills and enjoy parties and business meetings, but after a while wish they were home in their pajamas. They prefer to devote their social energies to close friends, colleagues, and family. They listen more than they talk, think before they speak, and often feel as if they express themselves better in writing than in conversation. They tend to dislike conflict. Many have a horror of small talk, but enjoy deep discussions."

TULSA, OK (KTLA) -- A man who has spent the last 6 days perched on a radio tower has finally surrendered Tuesday.
William Sturdivant, 25, scaled the 300-foot Clear Channel radio tower in east Tulsa on Thursday.
After speaking to a top police negotiator, Tyrone Lynn, for 6 hours Tuesday, Sturdivant finally came down around 6:40 p.m. Central Time.
Lynn, told the TV station that Sturdivant appeared to be "afraid of people" and "paranoid."
Sturdivant slept on the tower for 125 hours without food or drink since early Friday morning.
Onlookers flooded nearby parking lots to watch the spectacle.
Police threatened to take anyone into custody who taunted or tried to provoke the man.
The standoff began just before 11 Thursday morning when employees inside the broadcast building discovered the man trespassing.
They chased him to the roof where he gained access to the 300ft broadcast tower.
Throughout the day Thursday, he climbed between 70 and 200 feet on the tower.
Police say Sturdivant has a criminal record including burglary and drug convictions, and a history of mental illness, although they do not believe he is suicidal.
However, he has threatened to jump if negotiators try to approach him with any rescue apparatus.

Ethics and Metaphysics are central to Philosophy
I consider that the centre-piece of philosophy is either ethics or metaphysics. Ethical theory requires a metaphysical background, and metaphysics leads to ideas of right and wrong. So since they are related it does not matter which one a person favours ; I prefer metaphysics.
When both are sidelined and excluded from mainstream thinking, as they were in the twentieth century, then little can be expected in the way of challenging and innovative ideas.
There is a major problem within ethics – how does it relate to psychology ?
|Sub - Headings
|Terminology 1 and 2
|Objective Ethics
|Happiness and Sorrow
|Law of Sorrow
|Form and Content
In my late 40s and into my 50s I was immersed in a deep psycho-analysis. During this time I turned to theories of ethics with the hope of understanding conscience and the 'moral sentiments'. I did not have much success. Most moral philosophers have lacked any adequate knowledge of psychology, especially any knowledge based on personal awareness of oneself. For such philosophers, ethics can only focus on conduct or consequences ; motives cannot be explored. Without an understanding of psychology then ethics can easily deteriorate into wishful thinking : the thinker projects his subjective values onto the external world and then introjects them from the consequent idea of reality, claiming now that these values are objective.
There are two main forms of traditional ethics :
Theories which focus on subjectivity, with the goal being happiness, or power, or knowledge, or self-realisation, etc.
Theories which focus on objectivity, with the aim usually being the expression of obligation and performance of duty.
These forms are usually considered to be mutually exclusive. There is no need for this restriction once the relativity of ethics is understood.
A common idea in Western objective ethics is that the world contains a moral law or order that is as real and objective as the laws and order of physical nature ; this moral law is independent of the minds which obey it. Within this idea there is confusion between morality and spirituality. A few philosophers had some awareness of this, in their attempt to separate what is moral from what is right. The confusion arises because there is no understanding of the stages of spiritual development on Earth. In my view these stages form, for modern times, a progressive sequence which has, as one of its aims, the development of self-awareness in the person. The sequence is :
Morality leads into ethics, which then leads into psychology.
|Top of Page
At this point I need to clarify the terminology that I use.
I use the term 'morality' to denote standards acquired through social conditioning ; hence morality is usually inflexible and narrow.
I use the term 'ethics' to denote ideas on standards that the person has subjected to intellectual analysis and debate : this analysis enables ethical views to remain flexible and adaptable to modern-day conditions.
This division between morality and ethics is a real one, since the two standards have different origins : morality is a product of social abreaction, and ethics has its roots in the problems of sexual anxiety. [¹]
Note 2.
I separate two ideas or principles that have usually been run together in past theories on morality.
Morality is
A person's subjective values are the centre of attention.
Morality is
The values of any age arise as a development from previous ages. Hence moral values form a spectrum of related values over time. In addition, the moral values of any group can be compared to the moral values of other groups.
I have separated the terms 'relative' and 'relational'. The reason for this is that my understanding of relativity is not the same as in idea (1a). In the previous article, Relativity of the Ego, I present the view that relativity is a relationship between something that is subjective and something that is objective.
So I recast these principles.
Morality is relative.
This means that a person's moral subjectivity is related to a moral social objectivity ; in addition, this aspect of morality focuses on the person's strengths and weaknesses. This relative aspect of morality is analysed in this article and in the one on Personal Evolution, in section 3.
Morality is
This relational aspect of morality is reviewed in the article Personal Evolution, in section 3.
There is a third principle that needs to be added to these two.
Morality is
This dialectical aspect of morality is experienced during the process of abreaction. It is abreaction that is primarily responsible for the gradual accentuation of moral awareness.
To start my analysis of morality I look at the idea of an objective moral law, a familiar one in both Western and Eastern philosophical traditions.
|Top of Page
In traditional Eastern theory, karma is an objective moral law. It is objective since it is seen to be primarily concerned with actions. Is this view an accurate depiction of the spiritual barriers that are placed on human evolution ?
Whilst living on Earth, the nature of the person is best analysed by using a suitable model of consciousness. The model that I use most is that will (or will power), mind and feelings link together – this is a static model of consciousness. This linkage is the basis of the process of abreaction. And abreaction is one of the prime causes of social change. Hence abreaction ensures that morality has a relative aspect – the person's subjective beliefs have to be taken into account since they link to objective consequences.
In the understanding of Rudolf Steiner, when the advanced seeker reaches the stages of initiation then this linkage can cease.[²]. This cessation means that such a person can perform an action which he decides is necessary without being influenced by his personal likes and dislikes. This cessation implies that the initiate may then no longer experience abreaction. Which again implies that the seeker's state of mind is one of equanimity. When this achievement is maintained, then ethics is no longer relative. Therefore, for such seekers, and for the residents of heaven and higher worlds, ethics becomes objective (since subjective emotions now cease to be dominant).
So the concept of karma as a system of objective law, of objective ethics, really applies to higher worlds and not to Earth (except for a few initiates).
Why is there this difference? It arises from the status of the person, that status being whether or not he is a self-contained entity or not, by which I mean whether he is a monad or not.
In the higher worlds, the person is a monad. Therefore he is subject to karma as a system of objective ethics.
On Earth, the conditions of childhood ensure that the person cannot be a monad. As I describe in the previous article on the relativity of the ego, the child's mind is subconscious at birth. The distinctiveness of life on Earth, as opposed to other regions of consciousness such as heaven and hell, is that the new-born infant lacks a conscious ego. This feature of a human life prevents the infant from being a monad. The reality of transference (the bonding between parent and child) means that the infant is part himself and part his parents. The infant constructs its ego partly from its beliefs acquired in previous incarnations on Earth, and partly from the beliefs of the parents and other significant adults. Therefore, not being a monad, the child is subject to the relativity of ethics.
The real nature of karma, as experienced on Earth, is that it is objective law applied to relative conditions.
|Top of Page
This effect means that karma has both objective and subjective factors. The objective factors arise from a person's actions, and the subjective factors arise from his thoughts (which are the contents of the process of abreaction). The peculiar circumstances of Earth life mean that karma is composed of both actions and thoughts. The traditional restriction of karma to actions occurred because there was little understanding of the subconscious mind till modern times.
Karma is objective law applied to relative conditions. This leads to an interesting consequence. The results of karma cannot always be predicted, because of the subjective factor. This is one reason why chance exists on Earth (though it may not exist in higher worlds).
These ideas can be looked at from a slightly different perspective. Of what value is it to a person not to be a monad ? The answer is that this state of not being a monad, peculiar to a material life, enables the person to undergo the process of purification of character.
The relational aspect of morality means that good and evil are not in separate, watertight compartments. On Earth it is not possible for a person to be completely bad (and neither is it possible to be completely good). Hence, no matter how bad a person's character may be, he always has some good in him. And this goodness can act as a nucleus for his regeneration : he can learn to transform his badness into goodness. The relational aspect of morality enables a person to redeem his own character from his confusions and weaknesses. In fact the person has little choice in this matter, viewed over a time scan of countless incarnations ; the reality of abreaction will always lead him along the path to morality.
On higher worlds, where good and evil are always distinct and clearly separated, purification of character is difficult. The absence of abreaction means that there is no pressure on the monad to remove confusions and weaknesses. It can choose to ignore its deficiencies and remain immersed in self-deception.
Earth life has a special purpose. In my view, the prime reason for living an Earth life is to develop a sense of morality ; even better is to develop a system of ethics. All other noble activities have secondary status, since they can be pursued on other worlds besides the Earth.
|Top of Page
The relativity of morality is tied to the experiences of happiness and sorrow. To explain this statement I look at the theme of happiness in moral thinking. Can a moral life be a happy life ? The philosopher John S. Mill thought that it could. He is more refreshing to read than most moralists. He recognised that morality is intertwined with psychology, so his exposition of the theory of utilitarianism has a psychological base. His ethics centred on the attainment of happiness. He accepted that morality ultimately derives from subjective feelings in one's mind, and that the moral feelings are not innate but acquired.
The issue of happiness in moral theory is ambiguous. Mill expounded his ideas in nineteenth century England, when happiness was in short supply (especially for him). Similarly, Christianity was born in unhappy times. When moral codes are promulgated in hard times the desire for happiness is never far below the surface, and I regard Mill's analysis as being reasonably adequate for his time.
The opposite flow of ideas does not usually happen. We have seen in the twentieth century, when affluence has come to a large section of the Western world, that freely available happiness and freedom from pain do not necessarily lead to moral improvement, or even to morality at all. What Mill did not realise is that happiness is only desirable, as an ingredient of morality, when it is not freely available. Even religious enthusiasm, as found in revivalist and Pentecostal types of denominations, usually evaporates when the members become affluent and obtain a higher social status – happiness gives way to respectability, rather than to better morals.
happiness does not
lead to moral development, then what does ?
The answer is - sorrow!
Sorrow can lead to an objective morality. For a person who centres himself in his social identity (that aspect of himself that orientates to social norms), then society (and hence relationships) can provide an objective basis to morality, through rules of social behaviour. For an individual who is not concerned with relationships, where is the objective component of morality? To be objective implies that the component is universal among mankind.
Many moralists have claimed that there are universal rules which everyone should obey. But all such claims have never withstood analysis. Yet morality is relative and so has an objective component. A universal rule does in fact exist but no one discovered its hiding place till I analysed abreaction. The universal rule resides in the subconscious mind and is an interpretation of abreaction and manic depression. It is what I call the law of sorrow.
|Top of Page
Happiness is usually linked to excitement and anxiety, and excitement and anxiety always produce abreaction. What causes excitement ? It needs vanity as the present mood, and the initiating cause is the desire for happiness, with anxiety being the dynamic of the whole process.
All forms of excitement flow within three possible emotional sequences. Two of these sequences start from the excitement : these are the abreactions of guilt (and of its variation, the abreaction of vanity) in either insight mode or else in feeling mode (which then usually lead to the abreaction of pride). The third sequence is that of manic depression, where the excitement is generated as a reaction to the preceding depression. The abreactions end in resentment (and then to bitterness), and the ending of mania usually creates the conditions for a new depression. All three sequences require the presence of vanity : mania and the abreaction of guilt result from the vanity mode of narcissism, and the abreaction of vanity results from vanity alone. [³]
Putting all three sequences together I can state a general rule, which I call the law of sorrow.
This law states that :
joy ends in sorrow.
All self-generated happiness leads to unhappiness.
This law is universal since the abreaction of guilt requires either vanity or the vanity mode of narcissism to initiate it. Since vanity is the ground of projection and introjection, which is universal, then abreaction cannot be avoided at any stage of life. This means that everyone experiences a lot of guilt, resentment, jealousy, and bitterness throughout all their life.
|Top of Page
Abreaction affects everyone, even people who have no understanding of guilt and pride. This fact was demonstrated to me when, for a few months, I helped out in a school for children with learning difficulties. One child, aged about twelve and with a short attention span, showed a particular physical phenomenon during abreaction : she 'switched-off ' in the stage of guilt (in the abreaction of guilt), and the eyes rotated upwards, showing mainly the white, with the iris partly hidden by the upper eyelid.
In general, the stage of resentment made some children unwilling to learn new material, whilst the stages of jealousy and pride (in the abreaction of pride) made learning temporarily impossible. [4]
Note: the stage of guilt can be sensed by an empathic observer, since guilt (in the mode of self-hate) shrinks the aura around the person.
A common way of interrupting the abreactional flow is the conscious induction of intense excitement or other 'positive' emotional states, for example by going to a party. But when the emotional 'high' is exhausted then abreaction resumes.
Many people have a narrow view of sorrow. They may consider that their life is a good life, even a happy life. This viewpoint is almost certain to arise from selective memory ; they remember the good aspects of their life and conveniently forget the bad side. This rationale is partly due to the ambiguity of abreaction : it is not always intense. When abreaction is in feeling mode there may be nothing specific to resent. [5]. Then the only obvious effect of resentment may be a headache, or perhaps just a mood of irritation, or a hangover after the party. An optimist forgets the headaches, the aspirins, the irritations, the hangovers, and remembers only the joys.
The sorrow caused by abreaction may not always lead to an objective morality : if the intensity is too little, it can be annulled by community support, whereas if the intensity is too great then the person will be crushed. But when the intensity of sorrow is between these two extremes then the person may begin to question what he has achieved in life, and what is the meaning of life, anyway. A major advantage of adopting an objective morality is that its rules provide a structure of beliefs that usually enables the person to handle sorrow more effectively.
|Top of Page
For the person engaged in his solitary development, sorrow is an objective fact of existence. This law of sorrow generates the structure of morality. This law is structure or form, and not content ; the reason for this is that it forces the person to come to terms with the need for ethical and spiritual development.
To understand that abreaction is form, not content, we can look at Western history. The moral standards of today are far in advance of the standards of ancient Greece. And today's standards will compare unfavourably with future standards (allowing for the two steps forward, one step back nature of evolution – since evolution is a dialectical process, modelled on abreaction). This advance in standards is due solely to the never-ending action of social abreaction on the Western world. This produces a curious effect : it does not matter where ethics begins. It does not matter which issues are chosen as the starting point of ethical debate. The initial content of ethics is immaterial in the long term since abreaction always develops it.
Abreaction brings psychological needs into consciousness. So my view is that, even if the ancient Greeks had chosen different issues from the ones that they actually did focus on, we would still have ended up with today's issues and today's ethical theories. The one qualification is that of time. If the ancient Greeks had had different needs from the ones that they actually did have, it would only have affected the length of time required to arrive at today's needs. 'Progress' would have been slower or faster than it has appeared to the modern era.
Structure is independent of content (compare the 'categorical imperative' of the philosopher Immanuel Kant). Abreaction always develops standards, whatever they are. And in the course of time the field of ethical debate always widens.
There is no
The law of sorrow ensures that each person's journey to spirituality is always a process and never a goal, never something that is achievable once and for all.
The law cannot be avoided, so the only way to minimise resentment and bitterness is to clean-up one's life and to take responsibility for one's own actions and attitudes. The person has to develop his strengths and resolve his weaknesses. This law is neutralised only by attaining to equanimity, or by creating harmonious relationships. But even in the latter case, when the person is at any time on his own he is still subject to the full process of abreaction.
Spirituality is always a process, so there can never truly be a golden age. If a golden age did indeed come tomorrow then we would merely polish our virtues ; our failings would not be affected. Quite likely, we would not even recognise that we had failings, since these are usually only made visible by sorrow. A golden age removes any motivation to change.
Goodness supplies the basis of stability, whereas badness supplies the incentive to change.
Without conflict, people will not evolve. Conflict is essential to the evolution of each person. And the conditions of conflict are provided by the relativity of good and evil.
|Top of Page
This law of sorrow may not be obvious to normal man. Why is he not so vulnerable in the way that a more advanced seeker is ? In general, as a person evolves he becomes more sensitive to, and alienated by, the social scenario current in his time. Either his sense of ethics or his creativity is more advanced than the social norm. Alienation creates the need for phantasy, so the person develops his imagination. However, phantasy relies on vanity and narcissism, and these in turn provide the starting conditions for abreaction. For the religious person, phantasy usually takes the form of religious imagery and myth : such imagery and myth may arise from various sources, yet much of it arises from vanity and narcissism as well. [6]
In short, when vanity and narcissism become accentuated, evolution usually has the effect of making a person sensitive. Phantasy becomes prominent. Therefore the imagination develops. In consequence, abreactions become more frequent and more intense. The overall effect is that imaginative or creative ability stimulates sorrow.
Unimaginative, unexcitable man gives the impression of achieving happiness, and this may be true ; but this happiness is due to lack of both sensitivity and depth of character.
As man treads the path of evolution a recurring cycle begins. The more he develops, the more sorrow he experiences, which in turn forces him to become more ethical and more developed. Ethics and sorrow escalate together. The only real choice available to him is to learn to develop his awareness in order to handle sorrow ; he can either develop it quickly by psycho-analysis and introspection, or slowly by trial and error over many lifetimes. The only real choice is whether to speed up or slow down one's evolutionary progress.
a moral life is unlikely to be a happy life.
The aim of a human life cannot be the chase after happiness, since happiness always intertwines with sorrow. Therefore the aim needs to be centred on the cultivation of nobility of character, social harmony, and the development of ethical values, along with the understanding of dynamic psychology. These attainments enable the person to moderate and control the effects of sorrow.

Pain management practice expands
The Washington Center for Pain Management plans to ramp up work in Bellevue over the next year with a move to a new office at 1900 116th St. near Overlake Hospital.
The center specializes in providing a multi-disciplinary approach to pain management, accounting for biological, psychological and sociological factors in a patient's life that could contribute to their pain.
"We bought the building, and we're open there five days per week and getting busy," Matt Wavra, the clinic's director of business development, said.
The company has had a small clinic in Bellevue, near 148th Avenue Northeast and Northeast Eighth Street, but "we had only been open one to two days per week for the past couple of years," Wavra said.

Jay PayApr 29 2012: I think "fitting in" is inevitable. Especially when in groups for extended periods of time, like a typical 40 hr work week. Whether you like it or not, you will subconsciously probably start to change your speech and jargon, probably even your behavior after awhile. I think it's natural and fine that this happens because it allows the team to function and communicate better. It's not a threat to being an individual, even the rebel has to 'fit in' a little - at least to stay out of jail!

we did not receive user guide with our purchase
I want to make frozen drinks, but this blender lacks the ice crush feature. What do you recommend? Is there another programmed button I could use instead or what power should I use and for how long?
Hello, where in Ireland can I buy one of your blenders? Thanks in advance for your help.

Samsung electronics wants in. If their is a 9 billion dollar global digital music market, they want in. According to Reuters, a senior executive from the company stated Samsung is planning to go out and buy mobile content providers to compete with other industry giants.
SEOUL (Reuters) – Samsung Electronics, which has vaulted the value chain on the strength of its hardware, will go out and buy mobile content providers, a senior executive told Reuters, to compete with Apple, Google and Amazon.com in a global digital music market worth nearly $9 billion.
The South Korean electronics giant has muscled its way to global leadership in TVs, smartphones, chips and display screens – packing internally sourced state-of-the-art components into consumer gadgets – but software remains a weak link.
"The message we're getting from the top is to raise software capability, and buy rather than build, if needed," Kang Tae-jin, senior vice president of Samsung's Media Solution Center, said in an interview. "Our focus on software is primarily aimed at driving hardware sales, rather than making money. We have a full range of handsets in so many countries, and, to better market our products, we thought it's better to start our own software business."
Apple's potential launch of an online streaming music service is prompting rivals to counter the iPod maker, which pioneered and still leads the digital music market. Success in today's mobile market means integrating products to seamlessly connect hardware and software.
In May, Samsung bought online music service mSpot and has built its own Music Hub service to compete against Android's Music Player, Apple's iTunes and Amazon's Cloud Player. Kang says Samsung is ready to do more deals."

When Tyler Fyre and Thrill Kill Jill (real names: Tyler and Jill Fleet) aren't tending to their children in their Harpers Ferry, WVa., home, they're engaging in their other passion: sword swallowing.
"It's a great conversation to have with the guy sitting next to you on the plane," said Fyre, the 37-year-old ringmaster and sword swallower of the Lucky Daredevil Thrill Show. 'Hi Bob, from Des Moines, nice to meet you and funny you should ask, I'm a sword swallower.' Where the conversation goes from there really tells you more about the other person than it does about me."
Fyre, who also works as a technician who wires computer and telephone networks, rose to fame after his former roommate trained him how to swallow swords for the performance at the Sideshow in Coney Island, eventually roping in Jill to join the fun after meeting her while working. "On Valentine's Day in 2006 I was on tour as the MC of a dancing girl show with the World Famous Pontani Sisters. After the show I met a girl in a red dress and a year later, to the day, she married me," said Fyre.
Fyre and Thrill Kill Jill, 33, have their own Lucky Daredevil Thrill Show, and will perform alongside more than 20 sword swallowers at the 7th Annual World Sword Swallower's Day celebration on Saturday, outside of Ripley's Believe It or Not! Odditorium at the Inner Harbor.
Not only will Thrill Kill Jill be showcasing her talents during their Science of Sword Swallowing show, she will be doing it while seven months pregnant. She first successfully completed this in 2011, when she became the first pregnant sword swallower in the world. The free performances will start at 11 a.m. at Ripley's Believe It or Not! Baltimore Odditorium, at 301 Light St. in the Inner Harbor.
The duo took a break from sword swallowing and day care duty to their two children, Hank Lightning, 2, and Duke Dynamite, 1 (yes, those are their awesome real names), to talk to us about some of their likes, dislikes and craziest experiences in the business.
What can we expect from your performance?
TF: People always ask how do we do it. And so we explain some of the science of how sword swallowing really works. It's a fascinating art that goes back over 4,000 years. And done right, it's fun to watch. With just over 100 working sword swallowers in the world, there are more Olympic athletes and pop stars.
Worst pet peeve?
TF: Restaurants without a hat rack.
TKJ: I do not like wet bread.
What song/songs are you loving and what song/s are you hating right now?
TF: I'm loving the Jimmy Fallon and Bruce Springsteen version of "Whip My Hair." And hate when the radio plays that emergency alert signal for another snowstorm.
TKJ: Favorite song is hands down the "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" hot dog song.
Trend that has exceeded its natural lifespan?
TF: Girls with tattoos. (TKJ has plenty)
TKJ: Handlebar mustaches (Fyre has one)
TV Shows you can't get enough off?
TKJ: I am a huge "True Blood" fan.
Favorite place to get a drink in Baltimore?

Girlfriends in God - July 23, 2008
Bride in the Box
Today's Truth
"God richly supplies us with all things to enjoy" (I Timothy 6:17NIV).
Friend to Friend
There she lay in her beautiful box … a two-foot bride doll dressed in a white chiffon, pearl-studded wedding gown with matching veil. Her short-cropped, curly brown hair fell softly around her delicate face; her pink, plump skin felt amazingly soft; and her movable eyelids lined with thick black lashes opened and closed with her changing positions. The bride had perfectly shaped lips and crystal-blue eyes that appeared strangely real. She was truly the most beautiful doll I had ever received in my six-year-old life.
My uncle knew my infatuation with being a bride and had given me this lovely gift. However, there was one problem. My mother wouldn't let me play with her. "You'll have to wait until you are older," she stated. "She was very expensive. We'll just keep her in the box until you're big enough to take care of her."
Therefore, the doll stayed in her box, safely stowed away in a dresser drawer. Occasionally I'd open the drawer to stroke her lovely hair or straighten up her lacy gown, but never did I take her out and actually play with her. Now that I am an adult, I don't even know what became of her.
Thinking back on the lovely gift that was never enjoyed, I'm reminded of the gifts that God has given to each one of us. If we keep those gifts tucked away in a hidden place until we feel like we're old enough to take proper care of them, or mature enough to master them, we'll miss many years of the enjoyment He intended all along. Yes, the gifts may get tattered and torn in the process, but enjoying them will bring the Giver great pleasure. After all, our enjoyment is His great delight. That's what gifts are for.
Is there a gift that you have tucked away for safe keeping? Is God waiting for you to open the gift and begin enjoying His presence?
Let's Pray
Dear Father, sometimes I get way too stuffy in my faith. I see that Jesus went to parties and laughed. I read that David danced with joy. Today, I simply want to enjoy Your presence and delight in Your love. In Jesus' Name, Amen
Now it's Your Turn
Can you say that you enjoy the Lord?
Do you think you ever keep your faith in a box for safe keeping?
What is your favorite way to spend time with Him?
Did you know that He is particularly fond of you and enjoys being with you?

one time i got a sample from the tea store at the mall and as i walked away the guy said "tea you later" and then his coworker smacked him
a true fact about spiders is they can't run for extended periods of time because they have asthma. all spiders are nerds. even tarantulas. have you ever seen a spider dating a hot babe? i doubt it. spider flashing his cash in the club? nope. spider pulling up beside you at the lights in a lamborghini? never happened. they've got so many eyes because they love reading. nerds. all of them.
This got rid of my fear of spiders

Scandinavian Quartet to perform Wednesday in Benson
BENSON -- Touring the upper Midwest, the Scandinavian Quartet will stop to perform at 7 p.m. June 27 at Roosevelt Park in Benson.
The quartet was formed in 2010 when Matias Bjornstad, Linn Persson, Pen Nordell and Jesper Eriksson met at the Royal College of Music in Sweden. The four students, who each play a different form of the saxophone, formed the quartet and began playing concerts throughout Sweden.

Diamond 42: Give me Emotion
"Growlie?" The orange pokemon whimpered softly, "you're okay, right? Please tell Flareon you're okay." James pleaded.
"Flare!" Flareon rushed to Growlie's side, crying abundantly and licked his face gently. "Flare, flareon, flare!"
"Now she's crying?" Jessie watched in shock while Meowth went through one of the few occasions in his life in which he was speechless. No one could make heads or tails of Flareon's extreme mood swings. Wait, mood swings... "Flareon, sweetie," Jessie knelt down beside the pokemon, "you're going to lay an egg, aren't you?" Flareon nodded her head, her tears ceasing. "It's alright, we can go home now. You and Growlie should rest; there will be other chances to battle. I have a good guess who our opponent would have been," it had to be Ash, since he had not been called out to battle yet, "we can battle him any time. Let's go home, do it for the baby's sake," Jessie voiced gently.
Flareon nodded in agreement, she wanted to stay and continue battling, but Jessie convinced her to go home for her child's sake. Jessie understood Flareon had been pushing herself and endured a harsh battle despite her condition. Now she had the accumulated fatigue from the previous fight and her subsequent recovery from poisoning. The effect on her body of having to spare energy to feed the egg within her and her worries about her injured mate all piled up. Jessie didn't want Flareon to have to battle while dealing with all that.
Jessie knew the other pokemon would understand if they returned home before the tournament ended. She was looking forward to playing nurse and helping take care of the baby when it hatched. She glanced at Ritchie who seemed to understand. Then she looked at the stunned Jango and informed him, "I'm leaving the tournament to take care of our pokemon. Continue without me."
At first, Jango could do nothing except nod dumbly. Then, as Sailor Flame, Rose Mask and their pokemon left the arena, he woke from the daze he was left in after the commotion. The referee spoke into the little microphone that extended from his earpiece over his mouth, "Sailor Flame has forfeited the tournament. This means that only two participants remain: Ritchie, the winner of the Indigo League championship from last year, and the challenger, who is also a champion. He won the Indigo League tournament two years ago... Ash! Many thought they would have to wait until this year's Indigo League to see the two champions face each other. The wait is over, it will happen today, right here in the Viridian Stadium!"
Ash ran out of the lobby and into the arena when he was called. The crowd cheered wildly, looking forward to the battle of champions. Jango continued with his announcements and explanations, "it's a three on three match with no substitutions. Additionally, if a pokemon leaves the battle area, that pokemon will be disqualified and must be recalled into the pokeball immediately," it was a hastily added rule, but Jango didn't care if he got into trouble for it. He didn't want to relive his Victreebel experience. "Ready? Fight!"
"Charmander, I choose you!" Ash was the first to eagerly throw out a pokeball.
The red beam from the ball took shape as the basic Kanto starter pokemon of fire. He looked very eager to battle, "char! Char!" Far from looking menacing, he looked cute.
Ritchie studied Ash's choice in pokemon. The Charmander was clearly very young. He was still smaller than an average one, with big innocent blue eyes. "I know appearances can be deceiving and I intend to try my best!" Ritchie took note of the flame on Charmander's tail and realized it was too big for such a tiny pokemon. No doubt about it, the little Charmander had to be strong. He sent out his first pokemon, determined to seriously try to win. Vaporeon was just the pokemon to help him accomplish that. "Aqua, I choose you!"
"I'll try my best too," Ash didn't look at all worried about the type disadvantage. He knew Charmander, albeit very young, was amazingly strong.
From the balcony, Giovanni watched the battle arena below. The presence of Charmander surprised him. He expected to see nothing but fully evolved pokemon on a champion's team. For a moment he wondered if the Indigo League was just overrated, but he decided to keep an open mind. If there truly was something special about Ash, he would soon find out. It might turn into an interesting battle after all. He had Delia to thank for rediscovering his love for challenging pokemon battles. Giovanni didn't plan to watch the tournament. He originally intended to make an appearance in the beginning to give a speech, sneak off to work on his world domination plans, then return on time for the bonus round in which he would participate.
The mayor swallowed another heart pill. He didn't want to overdose, but he didn't want his heart to burst from the stress. "I'm too old for this," he complained pitifully.
"None sense, all that matters is being young at heart," Delia tried to encourage him, she felt truly sorry for Rune seeing his worried expression.
"That's the problem," Rune whimpered, "my heart isn't young."
"Stop complaining," Giovanni interrupted; Rune had always been a wimp in his opinion.
Mayor Antilles pouted indignantly, "you know, my heart only started failing me after that time you almost killed me," he reminded in a low raspy voice.
Delia gasped in angry shock, "Giovanni!" She scolded upset, though she didn't know what else to say or do, except to glare.
"It was many years ago," Giovanni calmly stated with indifference.
"What happened?" Delia insisted on knowing.
Giovanni brushed off the inquiry and it was the mayor who replied, "it was indeed a long time ago, but I never fully recovered. I was having second thoughts about a business deal and was kindly expressing my concerns."
"Whining," Giovanni corrected with annoyance.
Mayor Antilles cleared his throat and continued, "as I was saying, I was expressing my concerns about a business deal. I guess it must have been a bad day for Giovanni. He seemed to be angry at the entire world on that day, except his Meowth." Rune glanced at Persian, who had been quietly purring next to Giovanni during the entire tournament, as his trainer petted him. "The point is that when I cautioned him about his business practices, Giovanni lost his temper and punched me really hard. He broke my ribs and nearly caused a piece to be stabbed internally into my heart. Fortunately, I was taken to the hospital on time and they removed the rib fragment that had come off. I was saved, but the fragment managed to scratch my heart a little. I've had a weak heart since then, albeit my worries generally decreased after that."
"You poor man," Delia frowned in pity, but there was something she didn't quite understand, "why were your worries less after that? Did the near death experience make you reevaluate your life?" She inquired with puzzlement, then caught herself in an old habit, 'no, don't do that again,' Delia mentally scolded herself. Even after so many years apart from him, Delia felt like she was falling into her old habit of twisting things around to justify Giovanni.
"Well, not exactly," Rune confessed, "I just realized that Giovanni was scary enough to deal with any troublesome people that might complain. I concluded there was nothing to worry about after all." After a short moment of reflection, the mayor added, "now that I think about it, the last time I saw you with Giovanni was before that happened."
"Rune," Giovanni growled, causing mayor Antilles to give him a worried look, "shut up," he ordered once more.
"Yes, sir," Rune once again complied and remained silent for some time.
Delia thought about what the mayor had revealed. The time he referred to might have been an event that happened right after she left. Was that the reason Giovanni was in such a bad mood that day. "Gio... When you punched the mayor back then, the reason you were angry, was it because..."
"Is there a point to this conversation?" Giovanni found it to be useless and irritating, but Delia looked insistent. He knew she wouldn't back down until he answered her question. He did, though not directly, "it seems you haven't dropped your habit of blaming yourself for everything."
Delia stared at Giovanni for a moment, then smiled, which caught him off guard. Studying his puzzled expression, she clarified, "I'm only glad you're not indifferent," angry seemed to be a little better than completely uncaring, even if it was unfortunate for mayor Antilles. "It was still wrong, what you did to the mayor," Delia added, "but you're right, it happened many years ago." Even so, Delia wanted to sit down for hours and catch up on everything. Yet she seriously doubted Giovanni would ever do that.
Rune opened his mouth to speak, lifting his index finger as if indicating he was about to make an important point. Then he wisely decided to keep his questions and comments to himself and remained silent. He shifted uncomfortably in his chair and gripped the armrests in tension. Both Giovanni and Delia turned their attention back to the battle.
Jango had implemented a new rule that stated that pokemon would be disqualified if they left the battling area. The rules before that had been rather lenient to keep the contestants as happy as possible. However, there was nothing Jango could say about the pokemon's attacks remaining within the designated area.
The Viridian Stadium clearly wasn't built for strong pokemon battles. Average battles were fine, but the field wasn't big enough for true power. Many of the people in the first, second and even third rows in the audience had to dodge stray fire balls and beams of water. When the water hit them it was at least refreshing, though still annoying and often painful. The lethal fire would be another story.
The people in the first few rows didn't know when a fireball would fly their way, how far it would go and how strong it would be. Some got on their feet, ready to move away any minute, while others tried to retreat, pushing back the people behind them. With those in the front rows standing up, the people in the rows behind them had to stand up as well. Soon the entire attendance of the stadium, save for those in the balcony, were on their feet.
Charmander was agile and avoided Vaporeon's water gun, even if the water pokemon was also fast and many members of the audience were soaked. "Flame thrower!" Ash commanded with a glow in his eyes that hinted he had a plan.
"Water gun!" Ritchie countered. The two attacks collided and it looked like Vaporeon was winning. Ritchie noticed that Charmander's tail flame was growing, "watch out Aqua, don't lower your guard. Make the water gun stronger, give it everything you have!" It was best not to give the little Charmander the chance to prepare his attack.
The water gun intensified, but so did the flame thrower. The opposing forces produced a curtain of steam that swallowed the whole stadium. "Overheat!" Ash called out and the fire coming from the small Charmander intensified further.
Ritchie couldn't see the battle behind the thick veil of steam, but he could hear Aqua's water gun becoming weaker. "Aqua, push that fire back with everything you have, then get out of the way!" The Vaporeon trusted in his trainer and followed the commands perfectly, managing to dodge the fire. Ritchie saw a bright light and jumped out of the way. The fire that Charmander had been pushing against Aqua's water gun blasted through the steam. It went past Ritchie and into the wall behind him. Sparks and rubble flew all around on impact. The spectators in that area screamed and panicked, hastily stumbling to get away, pushing the people around them.
Misty was feeling very uncomfortable in the audience. She could only compare the experience to a time when she went to an outdoor concert with Ash and Brock. The singer's name was Akira, a woman rumored to be involved with Team Rocket. Brock insisted on going and not surprisingly, he fell in love with Akira. She was admired by many, who claimed she had the elegance of a Ninetails along with its imposing presence. Brock claimed Akira was the image of perfection. From her sweet voice to her sky colored hair, emerald eyes, pearl smile and flawless snow skin. He was nearly crushed to death as he helplessly tried to reach the stage during the concert.
On top of worrying that Brock might do something crazy and end up with a few broken bones, Misty also had Pikachu to worry about. The powerful yellow pokemon had shocked the people around him, Ash and Misty included, several times when he felt suffocated. Displeased remarks and foul words followed the electric shocks. It made Ash lose his temper and yell back, even if he knew he was walking right into a fight.
While all of that had been happening, Misty was thrown around in the mush pit of fans, shoved, elbowed and kicked by the multitude. She was driven over the edge and joined Ash in releasing her pokemon to fight off the overwhelming crowd. It got worse when Akira's back up dancers revealed themselves to be Team Rocket agents. They took advantage of the mayhem to try to steal from the crowd. The theft was a failure; the situation was far too out of control for the Rockets to make their way through the chaos.
In the end, Team Rocket fled, many people where injured and abundant bones were broken. That included Brock's right arm and left leg. Somehow, the pokemon breeder was satisfied with the experience. He almost made it onto the stage before Akira herself violently sent him away with a kick to the face and a broken nose. He was delirious with a stupid smile for a while, chanting, "she touched me," even if it was with the bottom of her boot.
Misty escaped the commotion with many bruises and cuts, but her most serious injury was a sprained ankle. By some miracle, Misty and Ash survived without broken bones, albeit Ash had to get stitches for a cut he got in his right arm.
Even if Akira was revealed as a member of Team Rocket, she still had concerts, which were troublesome. It was still better than dealing with a riot of her fans if the police took direct action against her. The casualties would be far more numerous then.

As the battle raged on, Charmander became cocky, despite his opponent being a powerful Vaporeon. The small fire pokemon refused to listen to Ash, instead running around the arena, wagging his flaming tail and making faces at Aqua.
The display caused the audience to go from astonishment and fright to amusement and laughter. Giovanni recognized the power of the tiny Charmander, but he could certainly use more training.
"What have you figured out so far?" Delia inquired with curiosity. She theorized that Giovanni didn't know too much yet.
"What do you mean?" Giovanni looked away from the battle for a moment. They weren't really battling like before; Charmander was just running around making fun of his opponent.
"You have that analytical look in your eyes. I can tell you're trying to gather as much information as you can from watching the battle and the trainers." Delia found that she could still read Giovanni after all. She just needed to spend a little time with him to remember how it was done. "You're looking for information, have you found anything yet?"
Giovanni gave his observations some thought and began to construct a profile. "Charmander is young and needs more training, but he's very strong. Ash is a good trainer and has powerful pokemon."
"His pokemon are strong, that is true, but they grew with Ash's guidance," Delia elaborated, "what I mean is, simply having strong pokemon isn't enough. It doesn't just happen; they have to be raised to be strong."
Giovanni didn't comment on the lecture. He was still puzzled as to what role that young man could possibly play that made Delia return to Viridian City. "I would say he's a risk taker," anyone who would send out a pokemon that was not properly trained couldn't have a problem with taking risks. "He's stubborn, I can just tell."
Delia couldn't help it but to laugh, "you're absolutely right about that, Ash is very stubborn, just like you. He really likes pokemon and sometimes his winning streaks go to his head. Even if he has a mischievous side, he's a very caring person."
Giovanni didn't catch the true meaning behind Delia's comment about stubbornness and instead pointed out, "you're pretty stubborn yourself." He didn't wish to wait any longer, "whatever it is you wanted to tell me about him, I don't think I can figure it out just by watching the battle after all. Besides, this is turning into a circus show again," Giovanni complained impatiently.
Delia sighed, "so impatient," she kept her expression neutral as she spoke, "like father, like son."
"What do you mean?" Giovanni had no suspicions about Ash, he didn't show any hints of surprise.
Delia looked towards the battle arena, "he's a lot like his father. He's a bit more playful, but he's stubborn, strong and can get a little cocky unless someone is there to keep his feet on the ground. Most of all, he's determined, cunning and has a deep desire to be the very best." Delia paused and looked at Giovanni again, his puzzlement surfacing with a hint of curiosity. With a secretive tone she voiced, "Charmander."
Giovanni turned his attention to the battle once more, "I still say he needs more training." Giovanni observed Ash and his subconscious seemed to realize something he couldn't quite fully grasp. Ash reminded him of someone.
After a lot of running around, Charmander was finally getting tired from too much showing off. "Aqua, use hydro pump!" Ritchie called out, it was time to finish the battle.
Charmander stood his ground, despite Ash's expression becoming alarmed in realization, "no, don't do that!" It was too late, Charmander jumped backwards and sliced through the hydro pump's blast of water with iron tail. The end of his flaming tail collided harshly with the exhausted Vaporeon's head and finally knocked him out. "Charmander, why? Aqua was tired; you could have finished him off with an attack that didn't leave you so exposed to damage!"
"Charmander char!" Charmander dizzily argued as if trying to say he would do whatever he wanted. "Char..." he fainted as well.
"Vaporeon and Charmander are unable to battle! So far the match is a tie; both trainers each have two pokemon remaining!" Jango announced, he was just glad the chaos of fire and water was over. He hoped the next pokemon they sent out were not so dangerously destructive.
Ash called Charmander back into his pokeball, at the same time as Ritchie recalled his Vaporeon. Ritchie looked across the battle field at Ash, "tell me something Ash," he curiously inquired, "is that Charmander related to your Charizard from our first Indigo League competition?"
"You noticed," Ash laughed sheepishly, "you're right, Charmander is Charizard's son. I guess I still need to train him more. Speaking of Charizard, he listens to me now and he's my next pokemon, "Charizard, I choose you!"
"This will be an interesting battle," Ritchie anticipated, "I choose Zippo!" Another Charizard emerged from Ritchie's pokeball.
Ash's Charizard blew smoke rings as he smirked confidently. Zippo frowned at the arrogant attitude and waited for Ritchie's command. Both trainers called out in unison, "heat wave!" The pokemon sprang into action immediately, blasting each other with fire. More flames escaped the battling area when the two beams of fire collided and sparks flew in every direction.
"It's getting more destructive!" Mayor Antilles couldn't hold his silence any longer, not that anyone was listening to him, anyway. Giovanni, Delia and even Persian had their eyes glued to the battle field. "At least we're safe up here," the mayor thought aloud. He was soon proven wrong when the trainers instructed their pokemon to use aerial ace and fire blitz. That took the battle to the air with flames being ignited all over the place.
The abundant harsh fire attacks caused the stadium to catch aflame. The fire didn't dissolve after leaving an indentation in the walls, it was too strong and it spread and grew. People screamed in a panic and scrambled to get away from it. The security system activated and the sprinklers began to throw water all over the stadium, some spraying on the combating pokemon. They were too strong to be weakened that easily, thus the water only gave them discomfort and made them cranky. That caused their battle to turn more violent.
Giovanni glared at Rune in absolute fury, "you idiot! Whose idea was it to install this many sprinklers!" He was getting all wet along with everyone else. Persian had taken shelter under his chair to stay as dry as possible.
"I'm sorry!" Rune cried in fear and stress.
The massive battle continued, causing pandemonium in the stadium. The two trainers were focused on the fight, as if locked in a trance. "Fire blast," Ritchie called out.
At the same time Ash guided his Charizard with a different attack, "blast burn!" The flames collided with each other, with Ash's Charizard prevailing over Zippo.
Zippo was not going down without a fight and tried to blast back as much fire as he could, which Charizard returned. It resulted in a giant blast of fire, with flames raining upon the stadium. Mayhem ensued as people pushed and shoved others aside to abandon the blazing stadium.
Zippo fought to stay conscious while Ash told his Charizard to use "seismic toss!" Zippo and Charizard exchanged additional blasts of fire during the entire process. Finally, Charizard sent Zippo crashing to the ground. The impact not only caused Zippo to faint, but also shook the entire stadium. It further expanded the already severe damage the structure had sustained.
Ritchie called Zippo back to his pokeball with words of gratitude. The two trainers snapped out of their trance and noticed the destruction around them. "We messed up, didn't we?" Ritchie acknowledged.
To be Continued
Disclaimer, I don't own Pokemon. She told him, but at the same time she didn't... XD I forgot to mention it in the last chapter's notes, Ritchie's Kingler, Sebastian, is named after the crab from The Little Mermaid. I hope you all had a good Thanks Giving!
