The basic needs of a human being are food, water, shelter, air, clothing and companionship. If we ask for anything more are we being selfish, greedy or ungrateful?
People with serious problems often explain that they don't have faith to ask for a miracle because "God has so many other people in the world with worse problems" than themselves. So with that kind of logic, a miserable life in Texas lands you at the back of the line, while starving Ethiopian children make it to the front. God is turned into an understaffed Red Cross center that can only deal with a limited amount of needy people. Maybe if you were a miserable, starving victim of a tsunami you could get bumped up a few spaces…
But God's definition of what we need is far more generous that our own. He makes it very clear that continual want and loss is evil, while He desires our lives to be full of all that is good.
"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full," John 10:10.
God makes another sweeping promise in the same book: "You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it," John 14:13. Anything.
Most of our religious upbringing causes us to reason that if it were God's will for our lives to be extremely happy, He would have made them so already. We factor out the very important point that we have an obligation to fight evil and injustice, and daily use our faith, talents and skills to overcome our problems. In other words, God wants to give us a happy, meaningful life, but only when we put our faith into action. A full life is promised, but is not to be dropped into our laps.
All the heroes of faith in the Bible had an intense belief, some to the point of being confrontational with God, but never disrespectful. Jacob got into a wrestling match with God, Abraham and Gideon spoke harshly, King Hezekiah refused to accept God's prophecy, and many more can be found who had fiery spirits regarding God's promises. These people felt they could not go on living unless God helped them to change their lives… If we don't have a similar attitude in the 40-Day Project we risk seeing no change. We need to view our change as a need that God has to fulfill.
Look at God's definition of needs:
His children need to experience His supernatural power on a regular basis.
His children need to be actively repelling the evil and injustice of this world.
His children need to be an example for their own children and the world around them.
His children need to reflect the power of God so others can believe in Him.
If your life is lacking in these areas, then you not only have the right to insist that they be fulfilled, you have an obligation to.
On the other hand, man-made traditions have created false ideas of our needs. We are told we need to always "be there for family" – even if they mistreat us or hold us back in our faith. They are "blood," and true Christians always please their families no matter what. Wrong. Jesus taught that there are times we have to go against our families (Luke 14:26).
We are told by society, by Hollywood, and by our own easily deceived and very emotional hearts, that we need to be in a romantic relationship, otherwise we will never be happy. Both men and women will allow themselves to fall into a deep infatuation with someone that later turns into an obsession, which they then call love. They cohabitate, mistreat each other, hurt each other, but can't let go of each other. Their lives are a virtual hell, but when challenged with the thought of ending the relationship, they insist that they "need" each other. God describes our hearts as deceitful and wicked (Jeremiah 17:9).
We sacrifice time that ought to be spent with God in church, just to make relatives happy, to go out with that romantic prospect, to get overtime pay, because we are convinced that our wants are non-negotiable. But when it's time to put effort into fighting for our need to have life to the full and be free from the devil's oppression, we become weak and even complain about how hard it is to fight. Some of us want God to drop the fulfillment of our needs into our laps, complain when He doesn't, but then spend vast amounts of time and effort chasing after our wants.
Have you been hesitant to believe that what you want to change by the New Year is really God's will? Does it fit into His description of a need? Then cut off all doubts and everything that holds you back and be determined that God wants this for you even more than you do.
Have you been convinced that your wants are really needs? Are they actually selfish wants or things that you feel pressured into because of family expectations? Choose now what you will pursue and what you need to leave behind as a hindrance to change.
"And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19
"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning." James 1:17

Lots of New Jersey cops will be at Mohegan Sun in March.
The police union has decided to hold its spring convention in Connecticut instead of Atlantic City in protest of the city laying off 60 police officers this year.
Last month, Atlantic City reinstated 17 of the officers after concessions were reached that require each of the city's 300 officers to forfeit $410 to compensate for a single month of salaries and benefits.
The New Jersey Policemen's Benevolent Association President Tony Wieners told The Press of Atlantic City this is the first time the PBA has held the convention outside New Jersey.
The convention will be held at the Mohegan Sun casino from March 7-11.
Wieners says members are registering "in record numbers" despite the distance from New Jersey to Connecticut.
The switch in venue comes at a time when Connecticut casinos have tries to lure the New York and New Jersey crowd.
Foxwoods invested in a deal with Madison Square Garden to advertising in the final five minutes of pro hockey and basketball games in the hopes of reaching millions of New York sports fans, commuters and people passing through midtown Manhattan.
In 2009, the local casinos took a comical hit at Atlantic City through billboards on major roads from New York to New Jersey, saying Connecticut's casinos are better than the "Boredwalk" and the "Jersey Snore."

A 450hp+ supercharged VW flat-four cocooned in a carbon fibre body with an all-up weight of 420kg? Work those figures and you'll find a power/weight ratio of over 1000hp per tonne! Maybe that's one reason that this is without doubt the best of the best amongst the current crop of Australian hillclimb vehicles.
Owned by Peter Gumley of NSW, this beastie has claimed the last four consecutive Australian hillclimb championships. That comes as no surprise when you take into account the 2.6 second 0-100 km/h performance, the beautiful race suspension, carbon fibre aero package and - of course - Peter's fair share of driving ability. Peter picked up his dak-dak powered SCV racer in 1994. A bloke by the name of Jack Wortmeyer (we think that's how it's spelt!) had built the vehicle back in around 1970 and - to the best of Peter's knowledge - it's the only one in existence.
Since taking up ownership, however, Peter has relocated a few critical pick-up mounts and therefore altered the dynamic suspension geometry. Spax dampers had also been fitted to the car when Peter bought it, but he's since moved to Bilsteins. Interestingly, the spring rates are comparatively soft - linear rate 310lb on the front and about 255lb on the rear. Note, however, the springs are laid over on an angle, altering the 'effective' spring rate.
Front and rear swaybars are adjustable for maximum track-to-track handling flexibility.
Motorvation for Peter's racer is an air-cooled, 2-litre Volkswagen Kombi flat-four - its low centre of gravity makes it a popular choice in hill climb events. This one, however, now displaces just over 2.3-litres due to custom oversized barrels - the standard 71mm crankshaft stroke remains and the barrel diameter is now 102mm.
The static compression ratio works out to around 7.5:1 thanks to a set of Chev-type Venolia forged pistons. Interestingly, just one standard Kombi rod has failed over Peter's 6 years of competition with the car - and it may have already been cracked when the engine had last been rebuilt. Pretty good going for a stock rod, specially when you remember how much power the engine's making!
Maintaining the essential supply of lubrication is a fabricated 3-stage dry sump arrangement driven off the end of the camshaft. The VW air cooling system is retained, because - as Peter says of water cooling systems - "If you don't need it why take it with you?" Hillclimb events generally aren't long enough to cause overheating, he adds.
The twin cylinder heads are extensively modified Kombi 2-valve units. A US-sourced cam (a fairly mild 'supercharged' grind), Chev-style Gene Berg valve springs and very large valves round out the top-ends. Engine airflow is controlled via a 3 3/16-inch bell-mouthed throttle body, which was pulled from a Formula 1 boat! A foam air filter is incorporated into the engine cover.
Peter tells us he used to run an old Roots-style Marshal cabin pressure blower on the motor, but when he missed at gear at an event a few years ago it got blown into pieces. No problem, though, a guy in crowd came up and offered the use of his twin-screw Whipple blower for the event! Peter ended up buying it from him and - after fabricating new manifolds incorporating a built-in blow-off valve on one side - he says it's much more efficient. He runs a lot less boost now but still makes more power - about 18 psi gives over 450 horsepower (estimated).
The exhaust system is Peter's own fabrication, with the guys from Vari-Flow Technology currently making up a tuned length system. At present, however, each head breathes into 1 3/8-inch primaries and 2?-inch main pipes. These merge into a 3-inch barrel that's surprisingly capable of toning down the VW's bark.
Firing the necessary amount of fuel into each cylinder is a mechanical Hilborn injection system. Fuel is injected into each port by an Enderlie methanol injector, whereas it'd been previously put in through the top of the cabin pressure blower. This injector relocation picked up horsepower, response, and it also reduced stress on the blower (which otherwise tries to compress the incompressible fuel). Incidentally, fuel is 100 percent methanol at all times. A Hilborn fuel pump is driven off the end of the dry sump's oil pump.
The ignition side of things is controlled by an electronic Bosch system, using a hall sensor in the VW dizzy and a Camira ignition module.
We're told this scorching little vee-dub motor makes a good smack of torque from 1000 rpm to about 8000 rpm. "It's unreal, power is not a problem." Peter tries to limit it to 7500 revs - but that doesn't always suit all tracks. Sometimes it's best to wind the engine just that little bit harder.
The driveline, too, is an interesting one.
Passing on torque is a 5?-inch Quartermaster triple plate sintered clutch, a custom machined flywheel (which is only slightly larger diameter than the clutch) and a 6-inch pressure plate. The Mazda 121 automatic ring gear for the starter motor bolts to the back of the pressure plate.
The transaxle itself is a FT200 dog ring gearbox - and Peter tells us you can do a ratio change in about 20 minutes. The FT200 starts life as a 5-speeder, but - due to the weakness of first gear and superfluousness of having 5-speeds with so much torque - Peter has converted his back to a 4-speed. Clever, huh?
The built-in FT200 differential remains standard and offers good lock-up under drive load. Sprouting from it are Dave Moore Engineering axles that use Kombi CVs (which are reputedly very strong).
Two piston AP calipers are found front and rear, together with cross-drilled discs. Note that the rear brakes are in-board, similar to the location that you'll see on some old Alfa Romeos. Peter's never had to replace any of the discs because they generally don't get that hot over the short track duration. Rims are 13 x 10 (front) and 13 x 14 (rear) circuit track type with a magnesium centre. Peter employs Avon 9.2-inch wide 20-inch high fronts and 13-inch wide 24-inch high rears. Slicks were fitted for our shoot, but there's also a set of wet tyres that are sometimes called into action.
The wing sections (based on a Formula 30000 Reynard) have been laser cut in polystyrene and wrapped in carbon fibre, so they're solid but very light. Note that the rear wing is also set a long way back from the back of the vehicle - Peter says this gives more downforce without having to use a high-drag wing section.
Inside the cramped cockpit you'll find Racelogic traction control and data logging controls. The data logging is used (collecting information on rpm, individual wheel speed and traction control operation), but the traction control system is rarely used. Peter tells us the car is slower with the system on - you really need a bit of wheelspin at the start of the track to try to get the tyres up to temperature. Another problem with the system is it makes it harder to balance on the throttle - you can't kick the tail out with a bootful of throttle.
Also in the cockpit there's a carbon fibre seat (moulded to the shape of Peter's back), TRW harness, extinguisher, a Momo suede wheel and custom fabricated shift linkages. Gauges are for boost, oil pressure, engine rpm and EGT (which is used as a tuning guide).
And it's not all handling either - Peter's data logged 0 to 100 km/h sprints in a mere 2.6 seconds - and that was when the car was slightly heavier!
If you've never given much thought to hillclimb racers before, you sure will now!

The 25 year-old won the heat after performing a difficult triple quad dive down a 89ft cliff face. Two further dives sealed the victory giving him a top score of 160.00 points, 27.25 points ahead of his closest competitors.
Talking about his win Hunt said: "It is hard work and practice. Learning all my difficult dives last year has paid off. I don't know why the others don't try the same but I suppose it's because it's a very difficult dive and you cannot practice in a diving pool.
"You just have to trust in yourself and go for it. When you see somebody before you get good scores, it definitely makes you think that you have to do this."
This is the second victory for Hunt following a win in La Rochelle, France, on May 15. He currently leads the six-dive competition ahead of Orlando Duque, the grandmaster of cliff diving.
The third part of the contest will be held in Kragerø, Norway, on July 24, 2010. Other countries hosting dives include Polignano a Mare, Italy, Sisikon, Switzerland, and Hilo, Hawaii for the grand final.

With solar panels, recycled stadium seats and rainwater sprinklers, Brazil hopes to make the 2014 Soccer World Cup the most environmentally friendly yet.
At a dozen stadium construction and renovation sites around the country, builders are hoping to meet or even exceed new FIFA recommendations aimed at reducing the carbon footprint of the world's biggest sporting event.
"We are no longer accepting engineering works that do not take into account environmental sustainability," said the head of the Sao Paulo architecture and engineering syndicate (Sinaenco-SP), Jose Roberto Bernasconi.
Brazilian authorities are racing to build or renovate 12 stadiums in time for the event and Brazilian Sports Minister Aldo Rebelo pledged earlier this month that work on the venues would largely be completed ahead of schedule.
However, FIFA president Sepp Blatter expressed concerns over the weekend about Brazil's preparations and other top officials have complained about the lack of infrastructure and poor public transport and roads.
At the Governor Magalhaes Pinto Stadium in the southeastern city of Belo Horizonte, planners say they have exceeded the world football body's sustainability guidelines and are looking to secure an official certification from the US Green Building Council.
Renovators of the stadium — first built in 1965 — are adding a 22.7 million litre rainwater collection system and are deliberately sourcing materials locally to reduce fuel emissions.
All of the concrete removed from the original structure was reused in the renovations or other nearby projects, about 800,000 cubic meters of dirt removed from the site was used to patch up mining damage and the original 50,000 seats were donated to local stadiums and gymnasiums.
"Everything was reused. There was no other waste or discarded materials that could have been reused," Vinicius Lott of the state government's Sustainable Cup project said.
Builders plan to install about 6,000 solar panels on the roof to provide electricity to about 1,500 nearby homes.
"There's an idle roof receiving a lot of sunlight. So we decided to cover it with photovoltaic cells and turn it into a solar power plant," said an electrical engineer involved in the project, Alexander Heringer.
The US$6.5 million solar plant will generate about 1.5 megawatts per hour — a tiny fraction of the thousands of megawatts produced by a hydroelectric dam — but the costs should be fully recovered during its 25-year lifespan.
The operating costs are also expected to be "very cheap" because the panels would require little maintenance and would be cleaned by rainwater, Heringer said.
Brazil plans to offer an international tender for the panels — which cannot be manufactured domestically — and Heringer said German, Chinese, Korean, Spanish and Italian firms have expressed interest.
After the stadium's completion, the state government plans to launch similar solar projects at another stadium and an international airport.
Belo Horizonte, with about 2.5 million residents, expects to host six 2014 World Cup matches and three Confederations Cup matches in 2013.
The city — Brazil's sixth largest — plans to welcome 100,000 tourists during the World Cup and the Minas Gerais state expects up to US$2.8 billion in both public and private investments leading up to the event.

It is not necessarily that easy to travel with daughters and sons. In fact, kids are probably the most demanding as well as critical tourists. Therefore, before taking your kids to holidays, it is worth to check which cities offer the best attractions for kids.

NEW YORK — J.C. Penney Co. reported Friday that its earnings rose 63 percent in the third quarter, as the department store chain says it saw strong reception to new exclusive brands such as Liz Claiborne and MNG by Mango. It offered a solid profit outlook for the holiday quarter but said that the retail picture will remain competitive.
Penney's, like most retailers, faces increasing prices for commodities like cotton. During a conference call with investors Friday, Myron E. Ullman III, Penney's chairman and CEO, explained how it's dealing with the rising costs.
Q: What are some initiatives that you are embracing to help mitigate the cost pressures?
A: The first half of the year we feel that by working with our major suppliers we navigated that without major impact on pricing in the first half. I think (for) many competitors who work with smaller suppliers (it) may have been more difficult dealing with that. We got ahead of it. Cotton prices are ...the biggest driver of concern through 2011 and particularly in the second half. In some cases, manufacturers aren't taking orders at this point.
They don't feel like they can anticipate what their costing is going to be. We are in better shape than that. We are able to place orders. We're (working hard) to try to change the offer in a way to shield the price increase as much as possible from the consumer but the fact is if cotton goes up 50 percent ... there will be an impact on pricing. Everybody in our industry is going to feel it.

I often say in this column, and elsewhere, that language is very important in shaping our attitudes towards others, as well as reflecting how we perceive people in the first place.
Usually, the inappropriate use of language results, not from any real prejudice, but simply from laziness in adopting the correct term. Unfortunately, even today, many people refer to the corner shop as the "Pakis", an expression, which is often not an accurate reference to the ethnic origin of the shop owner, but is, in any event, an insulting term to use.
In a similar way, some of the language used to describe disabled people is inaccurate and often meant to be insulting. For example, while spasticism is only one of the forms of cerebral palsy, it is a term that most of us have no need to use in our daily lives. When someone calls another person "a spastic" they are usually trying to insult him or her. The expression is no more appropriate (and certainly no less inaccurate) than using the pejorative words spacca, spazza etc.
We all know how to insult someone else. But I believe that the vast majority of us care about the feelings of others. Nevertheless, at times, the language we use may reflect a negative image of the person to whom we are referring even when we are not intending to be unpleasant. One good example of this is the use of a word like "suffering". Often when referring to a person's impairment, we will describe them as "suffering" from that condition.
Immediately, such a negative word evokes images of a sad, pitiful individual, whose condition dominates his or her live. I don't know any disabled person who is happy to have that impairment. However, most disabled people that I know would reject the negative stereotype of being a sufferer. Many people suffer pain as a result of their condition. Many meet this with fortitude and some don't. It's a personal thing. If we begin by describing the person as suffering from that condition, then we are making the decision for them and taking away their dignity.
A few months ago, I was watching the London marathon on TV. The commentator made reference to a group of about 20 runners crossing the finish line. He said: "This team are all diabetes sufferers from Essex." He was partly right. They were all suffering. They had just run over 26 miles and the pain was clear in their faces.
However, they didn't seem to be too affected by their diabetes. The media in general, and the TV medium in particular cannot avoid using pity-inducing terms like suffering, brave etc when talking about disabled people. It's inappropriate as well as inaccurate. We must challenge their use of language, whenever we can, and stop them from being so patronising.

Evidently Rupert Murdoch thinks he is above the law. Let's be honest here, he is. If he were not above the law, because of what he did in the UK, he would probably not be allowed to own certain media outlets in this country. It looks like he did not like being investigated. He said the cops were incompetent. He also said they would hit back. During the discussion with his London staff, he admitted that his people were not quite honest in the way they gathered the news. Like we all don't know that?
So what if his papers bribed police? So what if they hacked people's cell phones, illegally tracked the conversations of the Royals, and truly damaged a family who was grieving over the loss of a child? It's Rupert Murdoch. Like everyone else of the plutocracy, he can get away with just about anything.
"…It may be one of the biggest American holidays today but something tells me naturalized American citizen Rupert Murdoch may not be in much of a celebratory mood. Besides reports that his soon-to-be ex-trophy wife Wendi Deng has moved on to her third meal ticket, now a secretly recorded meeting with employees caught up in the phone hacking scandal strongly hints that Murdoch's hands in News Corporation's tabloid scandals are far dirtier than when he made himself out as the victim of wrongdoing by his underlings…."
So what if he were bribing the cops and public officials?
"...This outs Murdoch lying that he didn't know about his newspapers bribing public officials for news until an internal investigation in the wake of the Milly Dowling scandal uncovered it. That's not shocking. What's truly stunning is that he would say it to a room full of journalists—each of whom has recording equipment at the ready.
I don't think the "everybody did it" defense is going to work here.
There's much more in the transcripts, including Murdoch trashing Scotland Yard and scoffing at the significance of the crimes.
But on the corruption angle, there's this, in response to a question about whether Sun staffers convicted and jailed will still have News Corporation "support"…This wink-wink stuff has been standard operating procedure for News Corporation throughout its crisis. It paid off Glenn Mulcaire and Clive Goodman after their convictions and kept paying for their defense, leaving Parliament "with a strong impression that silence has been bought." It paid off hacking victims Gordon Taylor and Max Clifford in a bid to prevent the scandal from breaking. It gave the Scotland Yard lead investigator who scotched the early probe a plum job as a Times columnist.
In a separate scandal, when a whistleblower exposed serious wrongdoing at News America that would eventually cost the company more than half a billion dollars in settlements, News Corp. bankrupted him with lawsuits and made the CEO of News America, Paul Carlucci, the publisher of the New York Post…"
None of this really matters. People like Rupert Murdoch are so wealthy and powerful they can literally get away with almost murder. Above the law, no one is going to hold them accountable for anything, no matter what they do. The man admits to bribing the cops.
He really should be in jail.
The question for me is why on earth would someone even bother reading the Wall Street Journal or watch FOX News?

Pride & Prejudice and Sense & Sensibility are two such books for me. There are others but of course, I can't remember them right now. So, what are your classic books…the ones you think everyone should read or the ones you can never get bored of? We all have one..tell us yours!

Planner Peace Doesn't Exist
Planner Peace is quite the popular buzz term in the planner community. People shout it around like they've found the answer to life's mysteries. I've even been known to speculate that I've found planner peace as well. But you know what? It doesn't exist.
I think it's more realistic to say that you've found a system that works for you at that current point in time. But to declare that you've found total "planner peace" is just setting yourself up to be a hypocrite a few weeks later when you're in yet another planner or reorganizing your sticker stash for the hundredth time. It's going to happen. And you shouldn't fight it. Because planner peace is made up and won't help you in the long run anyway.
Here's why. You should change up your planning system if the current one stops working for you. Sure it might have been an amazing planner for a few months or even years and it helped you through a bunch of tough assignments or a crazy time at work. But there isn't one planner system out there for you that'll solve all your organizational problems for the rest of your life. Your planner needs change and adapt as you face different challenges, so your planner should too.
Now you don't need a thousand different planners to just complicate your life more. But you should be willing to adapt depending on what kind of planner you need at a specific point in your life. I think we all know this already too. We kid ourselves thinking that this one particular planner is the best ever and we'll never change. It's a fool's dream to try and achieve some sort of planner nirvana before everyone else does.
So accept that although you love a system now, you may not love it forever. You'll find greater happiness in the long run in accepting the inevitable planner-switching future that's ahead of you rather than proclaiming Planner Peace and pigeon-holding yourself. You change all the time. It's silly to think your planner won't have to.
So let's scrap Planner Peace and pursue planner satisfaction instead.

Sad (being a Ford fan) that the only patterns we can find are the Chevy patterns.
I'm looking for the Ford small block and the Buick/Rover aluminum V8 patterns.
Add me to the list of those looking for bell housing patterns.
Yesterday I put the measurements for the small block in AutoCad.
Now that I looked at the pictures of the 60 degree V6, small block and the big block V8 blueprints, they are showing the exact same measurements as the small block (the measurement were in a different order so they are not the same prints recopied).
Of the pictures that I have downloaded, were they mistakenly showing the small block rear prints mislabeled as the V6 and Big Block V8?
If so, I would like to get a copy of the Big Block V8 as well.
I will make a note of posting any others that I find here as well.
Last edited by archangel; 12-20-2009 at 01:45 PM.
And a couple hours later I scored the Ford patterns on line!
I have them all posted here, but will e mail them to anyone interested if needed.
I have listed the Chevy and ford patters I have found so far.
The 90° V6, SBC, and BBC have the same bellhousing pattern. The 2 Chevy V8's also shared the same flywheel pattern until 1985. The 85 and newer small block flywheel changed with the addition of the one piece rear seal. The 84 and older V6 may also have been the same but I never looked into it.
Great stuff. I actually measured a BBC head gasket to come up with the bolt pattern for a project I was working on. I was very close with my numbers. Wish I had found this thread before I started though.
hey Guys
Can i get the SB/BB Ford Drawings
I would love to have those specs for the ford v6 duratec family of engines, does anyone have them or know where to get them, and some audi bellhousing patterns would be great as well.
They list some Audi and VW's
LOL i'm a ford orientated person also most information is chevy chevy chevy !!!!! WOooooooooooooooooo this is great news some patterns starting to appear.
Does anyone have BIG BLOCK FORD ? bellhousing bolt pattern they want to share????
I have both the small and big block Chrysler bellhousing drawings, plus the slant 6.
I also have a really fuzzy photo of an AMC V8 blueprint, but it is readable!
I also have some nice drawings of 4 and 5 cylinder Volkswagen TDI Diesels.
PM me your email address and I'll send them to anyone who wants them, I'm not interested it setting up a photo hosting account.
Lastly I'm searching for a BOP Buick/Olds/Pontiac/Cadillac bellhousing bolt pattern drawing.
P.S. I have a spread sheet listing a pattern for the Mercedes OM617 5 cylinder Diesel
I PM'd you for the info.

I have a special secret,
Whenever I'm online -
I don't share with others
The things that are just mine.
MediaSmarts' research has shown that kids with household rules about Internet use are less likely to do things like post their contact information, visit gambling sites, seek out online pornography and talk to strangers online. Having a family agreement or set of rules for using the Internet is also a great way for parents and kids to work together on how to be safe, wise and responsible online.
Most young children enjoy pretend play and love to imitate action heroes. But many teachers, parents and child care workers say the influence of children's superhero TV shows or movies, can result in havoc when little fans get together.
For parents, this time of year can feel like walking through a minefield, with ads, decorations and music all aimed at getting kids excited about the holidays. Every year children eagerly ask Santa for the "hottest," "must-have" toys – and then turn that "pester power" on their parents. Of course, few parents want to be Grinches – we all want to make our children happy – but there can be a middle ground between giving in to pester power and canceling the holidays altogether. Here are some tips on how to control holiday consumerism:
Most Web surfing is done through browsers such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome and Safari. While these browsers are updated regularly, our use of the Web has evolved to the point where we now do many things online, such as shopping and banking. For that reason, there are a number of potential risks that come with using the Web.
Talking to kids about violence in the media they consume – television, movies, video games, music and the Internet – can help them put media violence into perspective and perhaps diffuse some of its power.
Somewhat surprisingly, it's not only struggling students who plagiarize: indeed, it may be students who are under pressure to achieve who are more likely to engage in the subtler (and harder to detect) forms of plagiarism1. Researchers have identified three situations where this is most likely: when students are under pressure (such as when work must be done with a tight deadline, or a work is particularly important for their grades); when students are not interested in the work; and when students feel that the assignment is unfair to the point where they have no hope of success without cheating2.
The Internet provides marketers with many opportunities to elicit personal information from children. Kids love playing on the Web, and commercial sites for children are continually ranked as top online destinations.
Are you Web aware? A checklist for kids ages 9-12
Are you Web aware? A checklist for parents. Are you involved in your kids' online activities? Do you know what they are doing and who they are talking to when they are on the Internet?

Senior U.S. officials involved in drafting President Trump's Middle East peace plan pushed back on claims from Palestinian leadership and from some officials in Europe that the plan will be biased in favor of Israel. One official told me, "Our peace plan is not a 'Bibi plan,'" referring to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Why it matters: Palestinian President Abbas' aides have said the U.S. peace plan will be "dead on arrival" and claimed the U.S. team has essentially been carrying Netanyahu's water for the last year and a half. The U.S. has been trying to pass messages to the Palestinians in public and in private through several Arab countries, asking them not to reject the peace plan out of hand.

WALK INTO THE farmers' market in Yarmouth and your senses come alive—a lively band plays in the corner and the delicious food smells waft through the air amidst the sounds of happy community chatter.
The market has more than 40 vendors but I immediately make a beeline for Eel Lake Oysters, one of my favourite oyster purveyors in Nova Scotia. There's at least one cheese producer; lots of jam and jelly makers, of course, as well as vegetable farmers.
I spend time talking with chef Gary Kent, who makes three sauces, Garlico, Burger Bomb and Curry Luv, under the Vincent Dressings label.
The market is at 15 Hawthorn Street, in the historic district, and runs year-round on Saturdays from 9am to 1 pm. From June to September a second, mid-week market runs on Wednesdays, 1pm to 5pm. ~Alain Bossé

The battle over healing Florida's freshwater heart moves to Tallahassee today as lawmakers hear the first formal presentation in an ambitious bid to buy farm land for Lake Okeechobee overflow.
There is no legislation filed, but the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on the Environment and Natural Resources has set aside two hours for presentations on the sweeping problems created when man rerouted Florida's natural plumbing, and the slow process of repairing the damage.
Senate President Joe Negron pitched the multi-billion dollar plan to buy land south of the lake in August following a summer tainted on the Treasure Coast by widespread algae blooms seeded by discharges from a bloated Lake Okeechobee.
Negron's proposal, which includes finding land viable for storing 120 billion gallons of water, builds on what many activists have been pleading for — to send excess Lake Okeechobee water south instead of dumping it east and west into the St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee estuaries.
Check The Palm Beach Post radar map.
"We are very optimistic," said Eric Eikenberg, chief executive officer of the Everglades Foundation, which supports a southern storage reservoir. "We've had positive discussions with not only senators impacted by the discharges, but also senators who understand the broader goal of Everglades restoration."
But it may not be such an easy sell.

The tractor B7001 which you buy is a second-hand tractor imported by parallel network, without the agreement of KUBOTA Europe, and that it was never marketed under this designation in France by our Company, or approved. Therefore, it isn't possible to us to give you satisfaction.
Engine division doesn't market any more this kind of products. You can all the same contact your dealer for second-hand equipment.
We insure the supply of spare parts for tractors duly approved by KUBOTA Europe, and not for those imported by a parallel market. Among others reasons, most of these second-hand models, used in some countries of Asia, were not approved by KUBOTA Europe under their designation, and spare parts are not always common to the models distributed officially by our company. So, be watchful in your project of purchase, because we receive regularly customers' complaints who bought this type of material, and which are out of order today.
KUBOTA Europe supplies a big quantity of spare parts more than 100 000 available references. 96% of parts can be obtained at all time within 24 hours.
We strongly advise to clean up the hydraulic system in the event of damage of components (pump, engine…) in order to stop the contaminations which could have circulated in hydraulics of the machine. However, we have more and more customers who clean up their machines on a purely preventive basis, for example at the time of usual maintenance. The lifetime of the components is some increased and the breakdowns due to the contaminations (seizing of valves) are appreciably reduced. It is enough to make heat the machine (oil with 50°C), to connect the filter of cleaning up on the auxiliary line, to press on the pedal and to let the diesel engine outside to 1500 rpm approximately. 15 minutes are sufficient for an operation. The quality of the filter must be as follows : 5 microns ; Beta : 200 ; nominal capacity 100 to 150 litres/minutes (according to your hydraulic machine most important.)
This model of generator is a model not approved by Kubota Europe. Please , distrust the parallel market. You can contact us or contact your dealer if you doubt. We have no documentations corresponding to these models.
You have to send an order to the Spare Parts' Department. It's necessary to mention the type of the machine, its serial numbers and the year of manufacture.
We are pleased that this power tiller give you satisfaction from so long time. Now it is very difficult to find spare parts for this model, its marketing being stopped for a long time. Please , inquire all the same with your dealer.
No, we can't mechanize again a Kubota tractor by another type of engine without calling into question the engine application.
This model is rather old. For more information, you can contact the Spare part service of Kubota Europe or your dealer.
Fires stop, side mirror and hooking on are optional on the B1610 because this tractor is a new model approved in France and that the French rule does not require these accessories from series. It is possible to equip it with a bar of harness with holes, accessory marketed by Kubota Europe.
Kubota Europe haven't got a secondhand network and don't pass advertisements on line. On the other hand you can contact your dealer who will not fail to inform you.
To get manual workers of old models, don't hesitate to contact your dealer.
It is possible to install a mulching kit on the lawn mowers of the series W consisted of 3 models : W521TC, W521HTC and W621HTC.
No, it is not possible to put a plough behind the lawn mower.

|Asparagus fern about to be rescued by yours truly!
Pat and his mom have the same mantra: Ferns love to be root bound. That may be true, but root-bound plants get on my nerves!! I have been asking Pat to repot several of our ferns that Mom B gave us years ago! To me they look like they are struggling. However, if one is patient and picks the right time to re-pot--ferns can easily multiply!
The asparagus fern that is about to do a multiplying act is actually sitting on the table without it's pot. Yes folks, talk about root bound--I could probably leave the plant like it is for several months, water it, and it'd still be green and good to go!! However, that might be border-line plant cruelty--so repotting, here we come!
Asparagus Fern
Before we get to the repotting portion of this post, a little bit about asparagus ferns. In my brief research on this plant I learned quickly that it is not part of the asparagus family, nor a fern. The foliage looks like asparagus plants, and the way the plant falls over the pot looks like a fern. However, this plant is a part of the lily family because it flowers and produces berries. Asparagus fern loves sun and drought! That is a boost for this family's yard! Allowing the plant to dry thoroughly between watering is highly recommended. While it does like sun--in this Texas heat we're having the foliage will turn yellow if there is too much sun, so part shade is recommended. We have ours in dappled shade, and I will be looking for other areas in the yard to give my newly repotted plants a little more sun so they can flourish. The ferns can be planted in the soil and will die back due to freezing, but will rebound in the spring after the dead foliage is cut back. I have not noticed asparagus fern in the ground in our area (8a/b), but apparently folks in Louisiana plant the fern in the ground all over the place.
|Prior to sawing, it's important to part the "hair."
Okay, I was just messing around here!!
Repotting the root-bound fern
I must warn you the pictures your are about to see may shock and amaze you, but if repotting an asparagus fern is in your near future...reach for a hack-saw. Yes, a saw. After Pat had pulled one out and all the plants had been repotted, I actually read about it online. These hearty plants can withstand it, and I promise--it's next to impossible to break the plant apart without a saw!
|Here he goes!! After the sawing, we had 4 plants to be potted!
This process will produce a lot of casualties, but the huge root system on this old plant (we can't remember how long we've had it, but we decided that it is at least 13 years old) will produce more foliage in no time at all.
|Here's a shot of the root system--
This plant is here to stay!
I used my trusty wheelbarrow to mix the potting soil. I used a mix of good potting soil and Lady Bug compost, plus just a little vermiculite to help with drainage. I lightly wet the soil. I wanted to be able to keep the soil loose around the roots in the new pots so the roots can quickly find their way to the nutrients and become root-bound in less than a year! (Just kidding about the root-bound part.)
Have fun repotting ferns---they are so lovely around the landscape and super easy to grow!!
|The final product!! Here are 3 of the 4 pots I was able to propagate. Actually, I could have
split the plant in half--I didn't have large enough pots, and the pot the plant
was in originally was plastic and was not usable.

Malawi Hospital
We recently received a request from Simon Graham, a registrar at Alder Hey hospital in Liverpool, for some kit. We spoke and met up with Simon and became inspired by his work and the fact that he wanted shirts to take out to a hospital in Malawi to give to the children once they had undergone surgery.
Our slogan of "It's more than just a shirt" could not be closer to the truth and Simon has sent through some great photos of the children recuperating in their new Liverpool/Everton shirts.
A truly inspiring story, well done and thank you Simon

This past weekend, "BREAKING POINT: The War for Democracy in Ukraine" had two sellout screenings at the San Luis Obispo Film Festival and won the Best Documentary Feature award! During the awards ceremony, when producer Paul Wolansky thanked the people of Ukraine for still believing that "the truth matters" in this time of "alternate facts" and "fake news," the audience of 800 burst into a 30-second ovation. It was incredible to see how strongly the festival and the people of San Luis Obispo embraced BREAKING POINT and Ukraine's underdog fight for democracy.
Dark Hollow Films is pleased to be the sole educational provider of this latest film by Academy Award-Winning documentarian Mark Harris and acclaimed Ukrainian director Oles Sanin. DVD pre-order is available now, for shipping in April 2018.

Flood protection scheme coping well with huge flows
Every two seconds, enough water to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool is pumping past Ngaruawahia through the Waikato River today, as recent heavy rain continues to drain through the catchment.
Every two seconds, enough water to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool is pumping past Ngaruawahia through the Waikato River today, as recent heavy rain continues to drain through the catchment.
From Waikato Civil Defence and Emergency Management Group.
Power companies need to give higher priority to restoring power to farms during storms so that animals don't suffer, Hauraki District Council mayor John Tregidga said at yesterday's meeting of the Waikato Civil Defence and Emergency Management (CDEM) Group in Hamilton.
A possible commuter rail service between the Waikato and Auckland is again gaining a higher profile on the region's transport agenda.
Easing of rainfall in the Waikato over the past day has taken some pressure off rivers and Environment Waikato modeling now suggests floodwater is unlikely to spill onto SH1.
After seeing the results for himself, dairy farmer and 2005 Waikato Sharemilker of the Year Mike Visser has no doubt effluent can be successfully used to grow maize – without any commercial fertiliser top-ups.
Environment Waikato staff are monitoring a stop bank at Mangatawhiri this morning, in anticipation of floodwaters spilling onto about 40 hectares of farmland.
Environment Waikato's emergency response team is on heightened alert after heavy overnight rain on Lake Taupo and the Upper Waipa River catchment.
Farmers and other land owners near the Waipa and Waikato rivers could expect ponding on their properties to last for at least 3-4 more days as the flood peak following this week's storms works its way through the system.
Environment Waikato and Hamilton City Council staff are investigating the source of a diesel spill in the Waikato River, which appears to have originated near the Fairfield Bridge in Hamilton.
Environment Waikato's emergency response team is monitoring the upper Waipa catchment as heavy rain continues to drench the King Country.

The role of Doctor Who has recasting the character built directly into its Time Lord DNA. The character's ongoing regenerations allow the series to carry on in perpetuity, bringing in new actors to play the lead role in the storied franchise without having to resort to rebooting the entire show every few years. The notion of a new Doctor Who has become so commonplace that while those who had grown fond of a particular iteration treat the pending departure of an actor with some level of sadness, it has become something of an internet holiday whenever the new Doctor is announced.
Now, after much behind-the-scenes rejiggering with longtime showrunner Steven Moffat leaving the show in season 10 to make way for Chris Chibnall, it seems the new guy will do so with a new Doctor helming the TARDIS. So let the speculation of who will be the next face of the Doctor begin, as Peter Capaldi has announced he will step away from the role of Doctor Who following season 10, which is due to premiere this spring.
The announcement comes via the official Doctor Who Twitter account, which quotes Capaldi directly, saying, "It (the new series) will be my last… I feel it's time to move on." The news comes as something of a surprise, as the actor had been discussing his role as the Doctor in recent weeks, without much in the way of hints that his departure was indeed on the horizon. There was some speculation that Capaldi would stick around for at least one more season, so as to help Chibnall and the audience acclimate to Moffat's departure, but now it seems the incoming boss will have an entirely new Doctor to begin his run on the series.
"It (the new series of Doctor Who) will be my last… I feel it's time to move on."
- Peter Capaldi
#DoctorWho pic.twitter.com/4gx9rTShPZ
— Doctor Who Official (@bbcdoctorwho) January 30, 2017
In a statement coinciding with the announcement of Capaldi's departure, Moffat had this to say:
"For years before I ever imagined being involved in Doctor Who, or had ever met the man, I wanted to work with Peter Capaldi. I could not have imagined that one day we'd be standing on the TARDIS together. Like Peter, I'm facing up to leaving the best job I'll ever have, but knowing I do so in the company of the best, and kindest and cleverest of men, makes the saddest of endings a little sweeter. But hey, it's a long way from over. Peters' amazing, fiery, turbulent Doctor is still fighting the good fight, and his greatest adventures are yet to come. Monsters of the universe, be on your guard - Capaldi's not done with you yet!"
With this announcement, one has to wonder what Capaldi's legacy as the Doctor will be. His tenure as the character was shorter than most, but longer than Christopher Eccleston's. Still, it seems pertinent to ask what he'll be remembered for. Capaldi certainly starred in a number of memorable episodes during his short run, though none perhaps were as emotionally and visually striking as season 9 episode 'Heaven Sent.' In that case, perhaps Capaldi's legacy will be partially built around the departure of Jenna Coleman's Clara Oswald, and the Doctor's response to that event.
Then again, with an entire season still ahead of him, Capaldi may further cement his time as the character with something fans have yet to see. After all, he'll get to introduce Pearl Mackie as the newest companion Bill. So who knows? Perhaps the best of Capaldi's Doctor Who run is just around the corner.
Next: Doctor Who: Should Peter Capaldi Stay Beyond Season 10?
Doctor Who season 10 is set to premiere on April 15, 2017 on BBC America.

The above quote from Carl Jung encapsulates a major intention of mine as a psychotherapist and tarot consultant, being the fostering and sustaining of therapeutic alliance. To me, the artwork of his is also symbolic of a commitment to the self-work I practice, facilitate, and often advocate for others with whom I collaborate in therapy and consultation. The art detail is from an image Jung painted for his hand-crafted manuscript entitled Liber Novus, that he worked on from 1913-1917, and the quote is from his book Modern Man in Search of a Soul, published in 1933. I believe the material in said books indicates that some of the pivotal ideas, theories, and beliefs of Jung which informed his therapeutic practices were rooted in his personal knowledge and exploration of such terrain, and also underscores his emergent awareness of the importance of therapeutic alliance to facilitating effective psychotherapy.
Liber Novus, published in 2009 as The Red Book: Liber Novus, is a documentation of a significant phase of Jung's individuation process, in which he used his active imagination technique, resulting in intense visions he felt compelled to document with image and narrative. I believe this work demonstrates his courage, focus, fortitude, and dedication to face and immerse himself in the practice of individuation. I see this influence reflected in Modern Man in Search of a Soul, a book that if he had written today would hopefully have a more inclusive title. The quote specifically referenced here, I view as communicating a belief that the therapeutic process is best a collaboration, as for transformation to occur both actors must be present and engage to some degree, often showing openness, flexibility and vulnerability, resulting in an evolutionary experience for both players.
The significance of therapeutic alliance is documented in many a study as being one of, if not the most, clear indicators of successful therapeutic process, and personally I continue to witness and sense it's influence. This means I arrive for appointments prepared to listen without judging, hold space with empathy and equanimity, provide unconditional positive regard and unbiased support, and deliver prompt, direct, and clear feedback when appropriate. I will most likely encourage you to explore your thoughts, somatic sensations, emotions, and spirituality, with the aim of your empowerment and self-gnosis, as well as suggesting and facilitating the cultivation of skills that keep you feeling centered and confident.
This path I find leads to a multitude of results which include yet are not limited to; clarity, relief of suffering, congruity between thought, desire, and action, and manifestation of fulfilling life experiences. I have a long-time engagement with such processes, and proceed along the evolving path with daily devotion to the expansion of myself and others. Join me if you will, I'd love to share my knowledge of the map and the territory.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1894 edition. Excerpt: ... THE BOOBY N ignorant man who associates with clever people has always been more praised than a wise man who keeps the company of fools; for as much profit and fame as one may gain from the former, so much wealth and honour one may lose by the fault of the latter; and as the proof of the pudding is in the eating, you will know from the story which I am going to tell you whether my proposition be true. There was once a man who was as rich as the sea, but as there can never be any perfect happiness in this world, he had a son so idle and good-for-nothing that he could not tell a carob from a cucumber. So being unable any longer to put up with his folly, he gave him a good handful of "crowns, and sent him to trade in the Levant; for he well knew that seeing various countries and mixing with divers people awaken the genius, sharpen the judgment, and make men expert. Moscione (for that was the name of the son) got on horseback, and began his journey towards Venice, the arsenal of the wonders of the world, to embark on board some vessel bound for Cairo; and when he had travelled a good day's journey, he met with a person who was standing fixed at the foot of a poplar, to whom he said, 'What is your name, my lad? whence are you? and what is your trade?' And the lad replied, 'My name is Lightning; I am from Arrowland, and I can run like the wind.' 'I should like to see a proof of it,' said Moscione; and Lightning answered, 'Wait a moment, and you will see whether it is dust or flour.' When they had stood waiting a little while, a doe came bounding over the plain, and Lightning, letting her pass on some way, to give her the more law, darted after her so rapidly and light of foot, that he would have gone over a place covered with flour without...

Our 1 Year Anniversary
Our 1 Year Wedding Anniversary was Oct. 17, 2010! Hard to believe one year came and went so quickly! I loved planning our wedding and getting married. It was so much fun and I was able to use all of my creative abilities. Our first year of marriage was good and not too exciting, which was sort of nice.
We decided to keep this year's anniversary simple. We were very tired. So it consisted of going to mass at the church we got married at, Holy Rosary, in Kansas City, MO. It was nice to spend the morning together. That evening we made dinner together... spaghetti and garlic bread..fancy I know. We also had some champagne and tasted our top tier cake from 1 year ago. Surprisingly, the cake tasted decent but it just grosses me out eating something that is a year old! Erik also gave me some pretty roses.Here are a few pictures from our wedding anniversary!
Some New Digital Scrapbook Layouts
So I had taken a long vacation from digital scrapbooking because of my new photography business, but today I started missing it and did two new layouts with some old pictures. The first one is a layout using pictures from our honeymoon to Chichen Itza. It was a super hot day but a really cool experience seeing the ancient pyramids in Mexico. And look how skinny I was just a year or so ago... ahh what marriage does to you :)
This layout is really simple. I need to get back into the scrapping swing of things. I used a paper from my Summertime Sweets Kit which can be found here in my Etsy shop. The leaves are from the Delicious Scraps Fresh kit. The font is Moksha and Vrinda.
This second layout uses pictures from New Years Eve with my hubby last year. I tried to use the triangle design principle that my sister-in-law talks about in her blog here. More information on design principles can be found here. All of the elements are from Delicious Scraps Fresh Kit and the font is Palace Script MT.
Hopefully, I will get back to scrapping more often now!

Your mission, if you choose to accept, is to find at least one way to cut down on refined sugar this week.
My Story: White Sugar Free
Last year for Lent, I was just beginning my real food journey, and I decided to give up all white sugar and corn sugars for the whole 40 days. You can see that story here. I learned a lot, especially about all the many places refined sugars hide in our processed food world!
What is Refined Sugar?
There are many ways to sweeten food, but some are found naturally in the environment, like honey and maple syrup, and others are made in a factory or lab, like Splenda, dextrose, and high fructose corn syrup.
Although all sweeteners add calories to your meal and can feed nasty things like bacteria in your bodies, natural sweeteners have at least some redeeming value. Raw honey is antiviral, and maple syrup and molasses have some vitamins and minerals. Refined white sugar comes from sugar cane, and it is so processed that all the minerals are stripped right out (they end up in the molasses). Refined sugars are 100% empty calories that do nothing but harm your body (and taste good, unfortunately).
There are some less refined sweeteners as well, alternatives to white sugar like Rapadura, Sucanat, and evaporated cane juice. I'm not entirely convinced that these aren't just expensive replacements for white sugar. Some day I'll find the time to do the research into sweeteners! Any thoughts on that subject?
For now, I just know I need to cut down on the white sugar and anything that ends in –ose on an ingredients label. It's not doing anything good for me!
UPDATE: Lisa Byrne, a biochemist who is also a certified holistic health counselor, offers a free 19-page eBook on Breaking the Sugar Habit here (link no longer available). It's simple, to the point, and very well done.
Favorite Sugar-Less Recipes
Why not "sugar-free" recipes? I think that term has been taken over by products even more dangerous than sugar, the artificial sweeteners like Nutrasweet (aspartame), Splenda (sucralose) and other chemical sweeteners. Please, look out for artificial sweeteners on your labels and stay away from them like the plague!
I use honey most of the time as an alternative sweetener, and I also rely on natural fruits, nuts and coconut to add a little sweet to my treats:
- Granola bars (soaked version)
- Homemade granola
- Almond Power Bars
- One-Bowl Pumpkin Muffins or Bread (see how I took the sugar out and substituted honey)
- 100% Whole Grain Healthy Fruit Pizza (there's a tiny bit of white sugar in this, but so much better than a conventional one!)
- Green Smoothies
- Did you know sugar is in almost all the purchased salad dressings? Find out how to make your own dressings to avoid the bad stuff!
- The rules for baking with honey
Get the Sugar Out!
Tomorrow Donielle from Naturally Knocked Up will tell you her incredible story about sugar and her fertility here at KS, and at her blog she'll share some practical tips on reducing your sugar intake and have a linky for you to join in with related posts. Your posts might include:
- Any recipe with an alternative sweetener (see below for details)
- Your story about sugar
- Research on the harms of sugar
- Information about alternative sweeteners and how to use them
- What else?
I'm also going to tempt your taste buds with lots of photos and a recipe list from my upcoming Healthy Snacks To Go eBook, plus you can become one of the first to see it if you win the giveaway Donielle and I are co-hosting!
