How to use a Mala Necklace for Meditation?
Malas are used since centuries in Hinduism and Buddhism as a tool during meditation and mantra chanting. Malas are also known as mala beads, Buddhist beads or Buddhist prayer beads.
Mala Beads represent your deepest desires, the intention that you are seeking . Malas have 108 beads, and 108 is a mystical number with numerous interpretations in the spiritual world…So keep them close to your heart…
Meditation is very powerful to bring awareness; it focuses our attention into the present moment. Benefits are numerous. This practice helps us reduce anxiety , stress and is a source of balance, harmony and peace.
How can a beginner start a Meditation? You can start with a short one, 5 to 7 minutes is ok as a start :
*Set an intention.
*Find a comfortable place, Light a candle and an incense and sit down keeping your spin straight.
*Close your eyes and connect with your breath. Simply let go and try to disconnect from any thoughts …
Later, once you manage to do longer meditation, you can decide to incorporate mala beads in your practice. The feeling of the beads running over the fingers is very relaxing and calming. This will keep you from distractions and will definitely help you to get focused longer period of time. A Mala Necklace is a great tool to enhance concentration during meditation.
Here are some advices on how to use them :
*Take the beads with your right hand (the left hand in India is considered impure). Hold the 1st bead (the one after the Guru bead) with your thumb and middle finger and pull it forward. Be aware not to touch the beads with the Index as it is said that index represents your "ego".
*You can simply run your fingers over the beads, slowly until the end.
*When you reach the end, don't touch the Guru bead. You can finish your meditation then, or if you want to go further, turn around your Mala and start again.
You can use a Mala necklace made of gemstones with the healing benefits that match your intention.
Another form of meditation is Mantra Chanting. In the tradition, a mantra is a Sanskrit word that is said to hold mystical powers. The mantra is repeated or chanted 108 times. There are very powerful Mantras like "Ganesha Mantra" for removing obstacles, or "Om Shanti " as an invocation of peace. There are so many interesting things to share regarding Mantras that it is necessary to make another post for them…
Keep tuned 🙏🙏🙏

Whitman and Mysticism
What the heck is mysticism: Mysticism will not be a coherent doctrine of existence, but much more a poise of your head. A magical experience, reported by BERTRAND RUSSEL, calls for insight, an awareness of unity and also the unreality of one's and place, and your belief which evil can be mere presence. A mystic's eyesight is spontaneous; he believes the presence on the divine truth behind and inside the ordinary society of impression perception.
He believes that God as well as Supreme Spirit animating everything is exactly the same. He sees a critical identity to be between Gentleman, Nature as well as God. He believes that that "all things while in the visible globe are and yet forms as well as manifestations from the one Divine Everyday living, and these phenomena will be changing and even temporary, as you move soul this informs all of them is eternal". A human intellect, too, is definitely eternal. Transcendentalism is actually closely linked with mysticism, hard emphasizes an unintuitive plus spiritual earlier the empirical.
Whitman is actually a mystic having a difference: One could not call him or her a natural mystic while in the sense from oriental mysticism. They're not your praying guy. Like all of mystics he or she believed while in the existence from the soul, and while in the existence from the Divine Nature, in immortality from the human heart, and while in the capacity of the human being to ascertain communication somewhere between his spirit and also the Divine Mindset.
But she differs with the oriental and also traditional mystics for the reason that he would not subscribe for their belief the fact that communication considering the Divine Spirit may be possible only via denial from the senses and even mortification of this flesh. Whitman declares which he sings on the body to the extent that of any soul. He senses that non secular communication is attainable, indeed desired, without reducing the skin. Thus there exists a good deal of the sexual aspect in Whitman''s poetry, especially inside early poetry-Section 5 from Song connected with myself is great example where all the sexual associations are inseparable in the mystical practical experience.

If you're tired of unwanted scents, but still want a conditioner that deals with beard itch, beardruff, and keeps your beard looking even and neat, then The Gentlemen's Beard Oil and Conditioner Softener is for you. It's unscented, all-natural, and organic. There's no fillers, fragrances, parabens, or additives.
So, now that we've firmly established that any man can grow a beard, we have to make something clear: It takes dedication to learn how to grow a beard the right way. Why? Because proper beard maintenance requires effort and patience, which not every guy has. But if you're the kind of guy who can stick with something, learning how to grow a beard will be easy for you.
There may be other gadgets out there, but these are the only tools you need. (I, personally, don't refer to beard care products like beard shampoo and beard oil as tools, because specific language is important when you're writing an instructional guide.)
Hi, Kristi. What you are looking for is a stubble trimmer, click on the link we've made a review of those as well. Pretty much every trimmer has plastic guards nowadays. However, the i-Stubble has a non-detachable FLOATING guard, which works superbly for the 'shadow look'. I'm confident your boyfriend won't be disappointed.
The Philips Norelco QT is the only shaver that boasts of a vacuum system to give its user mess-free stubble shave. The device also has additional features that are there in almost any performance based men's beard trimmer that makes it a sure shot success with the male brigade. For instance, you can also adjust the settings of the trimmer for shaving beard to your desired length. Let us delve deeper into finding an insight of the product's features, pros and cons.
Hi, I keep a very short beard (a little longer than a stubble, maybe 1/8th inch or so). Would you recommend balm or oil to keep it soft and neat? If oil, would grapeseed and/or avocado oil be good? Thanks

A little goes a long way, so you won't need too much in order to get a medium hold on your beard. If you experience a firmer texture than you're looking for, applying a couple drops of beard oil to your beard after styling will help alleviate some of that hold.
The big difference between beard balm and beard oil is that balm is thicker and can be used as a styling agent. Some say balm is better during the early stages of beard growth when it's more scruff than the real thing.
Don't blame yourself if you fall in love with this aesthetically designed model! You will know what it exactly means when you will look at the incredible design of TRYM II. Crafted in the top grade metal combined with a shiny black plastic, this is one of the most eye catching electric beard trimmer you would come across.

Scissors can be a valuable tool in your beard arsenal. They're not for removing your beard or making huge adjustments on your own, but rather for trimming and shaping it up. We know that the first cut is the hardest, but after that just stick to your plan and you'll be good to go. You may worry that home trimming won't turn out well about halfway through, but you can always reshape it with your trimmers or get it touched up at the barbershop.
Actual product packaging and materials may contain more and different information than what is shown on our website. We recommend that you do not rely solely on the information presented and that you always read labels, warnings, and directions before using or consuming a product. Please see our full disclaimer below.
Beard itch should only be a temporary phenomenon, occurring only in the first few weeks of growing out your beard. Any beard itch that lasts longer or is very severe could be the sign of a medical condition, such as fungus, allergies or some dermatological issue like rosacea. If you have severe itching, itching that lasts longer than a few weeks, or itching accompanied by unexplained redness, welts or flaking skin, see your doctor.
For best results, we recommend splashing a small amount of beard oil into your palm and massaging it into your skin and beard. This can be done after washing your beard with an all natural soap, or anytime you want to add some extra shine to your beard. In order to distribute the beard oil evenly through your facial hair, we recommend using a boars hair beard brush. This also serves the important purpose of gently removing dry, dead skin cells which can clog pores and cause ingrown hairs.
Remember that facial hair is more stiff and wiry than the hair on your head by default. If you want that irresistible soft beard that those bastards in Hollywood make girls drool over, then you have to use the right products.

There are hundreds of beard balms on the market – certainly more than we could possibly try ourselves. Our research for best beard balm 2018 was, rest assured, thorough, and took into account personal experience, reviews, and customer experience.
Take your beard oil and either apply it directly to your beard using an eyedropper, or pour a small amount in the palm of your hand and rub your hands together. Then, with your palms open, apply it to the outside of your beard, making sure to spread it around evenly. You don't want oil to be too thick in some place and thin in others. To get an even spread, make sure you run your fingers through.
Once you have the internal stuff taken cared of, you need to focus on the external tips to grow a better beard. That will mean that when growing your beard you'll need to focus on stroking the beard rather than picking at the beard. Picking split ends, or simply focusing on single beard hairs can lead to patches, more split ends, or other damaging effects.
Our beard grooming guide is based on decades of successful beard grooming practices. You are encouraged to adjust these beard grooming tips as you learn what works best for you and your beard. Each beard is unique and each beard deserves a custom care and maintenance regimen. Using our guide, you will be well on your way to creating a beard care plan that works best for you.
Amish and Hutterite men shave until they marry and then grow a beard and are never thereafter without one, but it is a particular form of a beard (see Visual markers of marital status). Many Syrian Christians from Kerala in India wore[when?] long beards.
In case you're too lazy to read everything until this point, or just in a rush, I'll wrap it up for you. There are a ton of resources out there to answer any bearded and unbearded questions you may have, but to help your beard you need to be healthy, be patient, and buy Beardbrand.

Here you will find links to interesting and Neuropterida- relevated sites. If readers would like to see other Neuropterological links added to this page, please contact the webmaster in the first instance.
The position and content of the Order Neuroptera differs slightly depending on the classification used. The main difference comes in acceptance of the higher grouping i.e. does Neuroptera include Megaloptera, Raphidioptera and Planipennia, or does it exclude the first two. There really is no right or wrong notion here, but the International Association of Neuropterology prefers the use of Neuropterida as the senior taxonomic group, including the Orders Megaloptera, Raphidioptera and Neuroptera, accepting that Planipennia is an out moded name. Other points of view also prevail - look for example at the first two web sites listed below.

Depending on time and location, advice and help can be given in the following areas:
Historically societies all over the world have had an appreciation of the fact that whatever we do has an effect on our environment and the environment has an effect on us, not just physically but also psychologically. Fundamentally everything is energy of one kind or another, and many of the problems we encounter in our lives can be attributed to a lack of harmony created by disturbed or blocked energy patterns, physical and subtle, in our environment, and visa versa. Like our physical body, the physical environment can be hurt or damaged, can have parts of it misplaced or missing, or can be weak or sick from various causes. Underlying and linked to the body is the mind or psyche, and each affects the other. In many cases it is possible to cleanse, rebalance, harmonise and transmute the energy patterns both in ourselves and in our environment, bringing about a general healing and an increase in well-being.
At a deeper level, it is recognised that there is a spiritual aspect to ourselves, what we do, the lives we lead and the places we choose to inhabit or construct—a spiritual aspect that should not be ignored. For complete harmony and therefore health and happiness there needs to be a harmony between all three worlds—natural, human and spiritual. This is the role of geocosmology. This is also what Feng Shui in its fullest meaning is about, the name of which means 'wind-water', the ancient symbolism for heaven and earth, or spirit and matter, as for instance used in the account of Creation in the Hebraic-Christian Bible (Genesis 1. 1-2).

With Spider-Man: Homecoming just two months away, we finally have our first look at villainous techy the Tinkerer. While Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 still has at least a few more weeks left in its theatrical run, Marvel is already looking ahead to the next superhero outing of the year. Before Thor: Ragnarok arrives, this July will let audiences get more acquainted with Tom Holland's take on Spider-Man. As the third big-screen version of the wall-crawler, Holland certainly has some big shoes to fill. Luckily, his scene-stealing turn in Captain America: Civil War proved that he's more than up to the task.
While we've already seen a number of trailers and images for the new film, there's a lot we still don't know. Michael Keaton will play the Vulture, Spidey's chief foe, but he won't be alone. He'll have a crew with him, and the lineup looks to include a version of both the Shocker and the Tinkerer from the comics. So far, we've only had fleeting glimpses of the two possible contenders for the latter, but little has been revealed about the tech-specialist the Tinkerer. But with the movie right around the corner, we now have our first glimpse at the character working alongside his boss.
Empire has a new issue on the way, and within it we'll get our first look at the Tinkerer as played by Michael Chernus. Ahead of the release of the magazine, CBM has uncovered the image in question, showing Tinkerer working alongside of Keaton's Adrian Toomes.
Click Here for the Image of The Tinkerer
While Chernus is a bit younger than the typical version of the Tinkerer from the comics, he more than fits the mold of the character. In the movie, Tinkerer will be compiling various bits of alien tech from the MCU and reworking it for Toomes to use in his criminal enterprise. Of course, Toomes' plans get thrown for a loop when Tony Stark's company Damage Control begins inching in on his territory. As executive producer Eric Carroll says in the upcoming issue, this proves problematic for Toomes.
"That puts him in a pretty desperate situation. So with one of the trucks they've already loaded up, he and his crew, with the help of a character called The Tinkerer, start stealing more of this exotic tech - Chitauri, Dark Elf, and even some Stark stuff - to retro-fit and sell on the black market."
The addition of Damage Control and Toomes as a salvager adds an interesting layer to the MCU and plays with the fact that a number of battles over the years have left behind some valuable debris. We've previously seen a version of this play out in the One-Shot Item 47, which saw a young couple start a crime spree after discovering a Chitauri weapon in the ruins of New York following the events of The Avengers.
It looks as if Toomes will not only be doing the same, but be gathering resources from the Dark Elves attack in London from Thor: The Dark World and likely even Ultron's own schemes in Sokovia. And Iron Man has certainly left plenty of tech behind around the globe during his various battles, meaning Toomes will have more than enough gear to sell to his clients and outfit himself and his crew.
It's likely that the future of the MCU will see a similar conceit used to birth new heroes and villains, so we'll see how it fares in a few months when Spider-Man: Homecoming hits theaters.

What is ME/CFS?
ME/CFS (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) is a highly misunderstood condition that is characterized by a range of neurological, endocrine, immune and cognitive disturbances, accompanied by profound fatigue and exhaustion that is not improved with bed rest. Loss of muscle power, pain, tenderness and cognitive dysfunction following normal physical or mental activity are common. The symptoms of ME/CFS are highly variable and fluctuate in severity, complicating treatment and the ill person's ability to cope with the illness. Most symptoms are invisible, which makes it difficult for others to understand the vast array of debilitating symptoms with which people with the illness must contend.
Who gets ME/CFS?
ME/CFS afflicts an estimated 1 million americans and 17 million people worldwide. It occurs three times more frequently in women than in men, although people of either gender can develop the disease. The illness occurs in people of all ages but is less common in children than in adults. It occurs in all ethnic and racial groups, and in countries around the world. Research indicates that ME/CFS is at least as common among African Americans and Hispanics as it is among Caucasians and can affect people of all income levels. genetic links are suspected but more research needs to be done.
The current use of multiple definitions (Canadian definition, International consensus criteria and the 1994 case definition) makes diagnoses and research more complicated. People with ME/CFS most often function at a substantially lower level of activity than they were capable of before the onset of illness. ME/CFS patients are often severely disabled and bedridden. The cause or causes of ME/CFS have not been identified and no specific diagnostic tests are available. ME/CFS definition should include but not limited to :
1. Fatigue
2. Post Exertional Malaise
3. Sleep Dysfunction/unrefreshing sleep
4. Pain - muscle, joint and nerve
5. Autonomic issues such as orthostatic intolerance, POTS and up-regulated sympathetic nervous system
6. Neurological/Cognitive Manifestations such as short term memory issues and brain fog
7. Neuroendocrine dysfunctions such as intolerance to stress. temperature changes, enviromental challanges
8. Immune dysfunction such as tender lymph nodes, sore throat, headache and flu-like symptoms
The symptoms must have persisted or recurred during six or more consecutive months of illness and must not have predated the fatigue. CFS/ME affects most systems of the body including the Immune system, Autonomic nervous system, Digestive system, and Endocrine system.
ME/CFS is characterized by incapacitating fatigue with flu-like symptoms, muscle and joint pain, cognitive disorders, sleep disorders and depression, Physical and/or mental exertion creates post-exertional malaise, a condition worsening symptoms occurring within 12-48 hours of the exertion and requiring an extended recovery period.
Patients experience fatigue as intense exhaustion and extremely poor stamina. Flu-like symptoms occur with joint and muscle pain, tender lymph nodes, sore throat, and headaches/low grade fever. Cognitive disorders include difficulties with concentration, (brain fog) poor short term memory, word-finding difficulties, poor reading retention, impairment with speech, impaired reasoning and visual disturbances. Unrefreshing sleep and poor sleep maintenance including chills and night sweats contributes to fatigue symptoms and dysfunction.
Possible secondary issues in some patients include depression, irritability, anxiety, panic attacks, personality changes, mood swings, shortness of breath, dizziness and balance problems. Many sensitivities develop to environmental conditions such as heat/cold, food/alcohol intolerance, medications, chemical and light sensitivities, and noise/sound. ME/CFS patients are more likely to have other medical issues such as irregular heartbeat/blood pressure changes; Fibromyalgia; Irritable bowel Syndrome (abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, intestinal gas); numbness, tingling and/or burning sensations in the face or extremities; dryness of the mouth and eyes (sicca syndrome); gynecological problems including PMS and endometriosis; chest pains; rashes; ringing in the ears (tinnitus); allergies; light-headedness; fainting; muscle twitching; and seizures.
ME/CFS diagnosis can be a lengthy and frustrating process for patients. There is not currently a universal diagnostic test that clearly identifies ME/CFS so diagnosis becomes a process of elimination that can take more than a year. After eliminating other possible conditions, physicians are forced to compare a patients symptoms and case history to the international definition and predicted ME/CFS symptoms. There can also be a difficulty with over lapping symptoms with other conditions as ME/CFS patients are more likely to have other conditions simultaneously. Patient diagnosis is also inhibited by a lack of education in the medical community. Just recently has ME/CFS been recognized by the CDC as a disease and education and recognition about the disease has been slow. Patients may find it difficult to find a medical professional in their area that has experience and knowledge about ME/CFS. Education groups such as RMCFA can help cut down the frustration by identifying medical professional in the area that are experienced with the disorder, add research knowledge concerning the disorder and lend support to the process.
Treating ME/CFS also presents a significant number of challenges for patients and physicians. As yet, there is no known cause, cure or universal treatment for ME/CFS. Until a treatment is developed which will improve all the symptoms of ME/CFS, or correct the underlying cause, therapy is based upon the individual's presenting symptoms and treatment is mainly based on minimizing symptoms on a individual basis. This usually incorporates a trial and error regimen of prescription medicines in an effort to help relieve pain; sleep disturbances; digestive problems such as nausea; flu-like symptoms and, if present, depression and anxiety. Medications have mixed results and can be supplemented by alternative therapies. Alternative treatments include therapies such as acupuncture, tai chi and alternative food and herbal supplements.
Patients quickly recognize that lifestyles need to be altered. Symptoms and sensitivities may lead to changes in diet; exercise limitations; alterations in activities of daily living according to one's energy level; and sleep/rest management. All may require the assistance of professional clinicians, such as a dietitian, physical and/or occupational therapist, mental health professional and sleep therapist.

Gertina van Schalkwyk holds a D.Phil in Psychology from the University of Pretoria, South Africa, and escaped the potential tension of an empty nest moving to Macao in China in 2003 where she is now Professor of Psychology at the University of Macau.
She became interested in social constructionism when doing her D.Phil dissertation on a System's Paradigm for Music Psychology, looking at the multiple realities co-constructed in the person-music interactive system. She has a broad research interest focusing on narrative inquiry of identity development across the lifespan, family systems, preventive mental health care, and collaborative learning and life coaching. She supervised several master's and doctoral research theses on related topics, and serves as reviewer for a number of scholarly journals. Gertina recently completed a book chapter on collaborative life coaching aimed at training youth counsellors in Southern Africa. In recent years, she has been applying social constructionist thought to the development of a method for life story remembering and self-defining memories in cross-cultural settings – the Collage Life-story Elicitation Technique. She is also a Research Fellow of the International Institute for Advanced Systems and Cybernetics (IIAS) and was awarded a certificate of merit for Outstanding Scholarly Contribution and Exemplary Leadership in Education by the IIAS. In 2010 she received the Faculty Teaching Award from the University of Macau, and the Distinguished Leadership in Education Award from the IIAS. She occasionally engages in collaborative counselling fellow expats in Macao applying a narrative approach, but mostly her time and passion is directed towards teachings and research.
Gertina is mother of four grown-up children - two sons living and working in South Africa, in the music industry and as risk analyst respectively, a daughter in Botswana working as communication specialist and another working as travelling missionary going where the Lord leads her. She still has strong ties in South Africa and hope to one day return there but for now enjoys the company of her soul mate partner whom she met upon arrival in Macao. As a devout Christian, Gertina finds comfort in her religion and sees it as an important aspect of positive living and a rich and fulfilled life.

Naomi - Pappelallee (10th Anniversary Edition)
07 Feb 2014
Naomi Classic "Pappelallee" celebrates 10th Birthday on February 23rd. On their second album "Pappelallee" Berlin duo Naomi (Bernd Lechler and Nico Tobias) have delivered in 2004 personal and charming songs situated somewhere between pop and sophisticated electronic music. The warm and touching sound nests pleasantly in auditory canals making the album feel familiar even at first listening. When diving deeper into Naomi's universe you soon discover a great variety of influences and contrasting elements. The songs are intense, the arrangement is compact and the sound distinctive. "Pappelallee" is sometimes bizarre but always catchy, profound but highly accessible, melancholic but consoling. Plus, the moving Electropop jewel "King Kong Is Not Dead" comes as an extra feelgood song. On Februray 24th, 2014 Pappelallee will be re-released as a remastered 10th Anniversary Edition ! Stay tuned.

Spring Break Beach Apartments
I wanted to do a very simple low prim apartment building with a beach view. I knew if I had made the railings with prims, it would have been lower than the 70 land impact, but then it wouldn't have turned out as nice because the rest of the building was plain.
Also, I've put the Spring Break Beach Apartments at a promotional price of only 69L indefinitely!

Good morning sweet friends!
Sweet summertime is officially here. Fireworks have started sparking over the skies. The warm air makes for some long nights outside. But if you live in west TN, you are probably still drying off from this weekend. Seriously, we had more rain this weekend than I have seen in a while.
I was basically looking out the window and waiting for Noah to float by.
BUT other than the tons of rain, it was a wonderful weekend!
On Friday, Sean and I had a date night and went to eat at our traditional go to spot, Colton's. If you are ever trying to decide on a place to go, go to Colton's. It is yummy southern food with a wonderful southern charm to it.
Which is probably the main reason I really love it so much.
Which is probably the main reason I really love it so much.
After Colton's, we went to Target to pick up some things for the house and then headed home to just relax and watch Grey's Anatomy.
Yall, I am HOOKED on that show and now I even have Sean asking if I want to watch it
On Saturday, Sean went off to work while I planned to do nothing but sleep in. After I woke up, that was when I noticed the great flood starting outside. Normally on Saturday mornings, my mom, sister and I will either lay out in the pool, go to yard sales, or just go around to stores or whatever we feel like doing that day. With all the raining, the pool definitely wasn't happening and no yard sales would be worth going to. But this weekend we had already planned to go to the local farmer's market.
and who would let a little rain ruin that :)
-please excuse the no makeup day. only my perfect sister can pull that off-
- are these crosses just perfect or what?? after about ten minutes of trying to make up my mind between that one on the top right and just a regular red chevron one with a burlap flower, the chevron one was the winner and now makes my front door just precious-
-seriously, this stuff is SO GOOD-
-fresh, fresh peaches-
After the market, I went home to store my fresh corn, fresh peaches and organic beef. The market also had a little craft area where I purchased my cross from. Needless to say when I got home, I was feeling super crafty. So I turned on Grey's again (intervention coming my way?) and started painting a bookshelf and finishing a sofa table.
It felt wonderful just relaxing and painting all day. After Sean was off work, we ate dinner and continued having a relaxing night. We hardly ever sit at home so on the nights where we can just relax in our pajamas and watch movies or shows together, they are ultra special!
On Sunday, the great flood seemed to be even worse. We woke up for church and it sounded like the rain was going to cave through our roof. But we got up and headed off to church. Service was wonderful as usual and our preacher did a sermon on being content. Its seriously so crazy but beautiful to me how God literally takes things and throws them at you when you need it the most. I cant explain how much I needed to hear that sermon and yes, I intend to do a post on it soon :) After the sermon, I did this thing we have in our church called a test drive. It is when you test out the many areas we have in the church of where you want to serve (such as kids ministry, guest services, administration, etc) So this weekend I was signed up to shadow a baptism coordinator. Basically what a baptism coordinator does is takes the ones who want to be baptized and we show them the tank and let them feel the water to make sure they are comfortable. We show them the dressing room and we have dry towels for them after they are submerged and come out of the tank. So, these two precious little girls had decided that they wanted to be baptized that day and it turns out, my lady I was supposed to be shadowing wasn't able to make it to church. So I basically had a super quick walkthrough of what to do and I was left on my own. Now, showing them the tank and such was the easy part. But, sitting with the families and waiting for the baptism calling was the difficult part. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to show them scripture or talk with them about any certain thing. So yes, I felt just a tad uncomfortable and I apologized to the parents because I literally had no idea what the baptism coordinator ever talks about. But, the important thing is, I led the girls to the tank and after they were baptized and coming out of the tank, this girl was there with their fresh towels.
But luckily, the guy who gave me the quick walkthrough said I did everything just right and there is no script that I have to say to the families. So that helped a little. Next week I am trying out middle school ministry which I am SO SO excited about. I have so many places I want to serve and its definitely going to be hard choosing just one.

After church, we went to our traditional McAlister's lunch full of cheddar cheese soup, sweet tea and yummy sandwiches. Afterwards, we went home and just relaxed a bit more. With it being so yucky outside, we really didn't have a choice but to stay inside most of the weekend. I was getting pretty bummed because each year, we go to a huge fireworks show at a local church.
Actually, I am pretty sure our whole hometown goes.
But with all the rain, I was definitely expecting it to be canceled or down right disgusting to go. But luckily the rain had stopped and the fireworks were still on.
We met up with some of our fabulous friends and we had such a fun night.
I always feel like these church fireworks are the official start of summer ahh :)
We arrived home around 11 last night and needles to say, I am pretty sleep exhausted this morning.
But, it is always worth the fun :)
How was your weekend??

The Welsh government said 91 per cent of BPS payments would be made on December 1, with the NFU insisting RPA claimants in England must not be left behind.
Cabinet secretary for Energy, Planning and Rural Affairs Lesley Griffiths made the announcement at the Royal Welsh Winter Fair on Monday with confirmation 14,111 claims will be paid at some point on Friday (December 1).
NFU Cymru president Stephen James said: "The announcement that over 91 per cent of claims will be paid on the first day of the payment window, together with an improved exchange rate, up 4.98 per cent on the 2016 rate, is good news and will be a boost not just to farm businesses but also to the thousands of rural businesses that rely heavily on farmers for much of their income.
"I hope that all efforts can now be concentrated on ensuring the remaining nine per cent will not have to wait too much longer."
In light of the BPS announcement, NFU Cymru warned farmers to be on high alert for suspicious telephone calls and emails from fraudsters.
He added: "As these payments are vital to the livelihood of many businesses, it is important that farmers are fully aware that there are criminals trying to obtain money from farmers by deception.
"Fraudsters can send emails to try and obtain passwords for bank accounts or even try and trick you into making payments into different bank accounts."
It came as the NFU said the Rural Payments Agency (RPA) must live up to its promises and pay at least 90 per cent of claims by the end of December.
The union called on Defra to ensure bridging payments were given to claimants who will not be paid before the end of the month and address claims problems in previous years.
NFU vice president Guy Smith added: "Welsh and Scottish farmers have heard in recent days from their RPA equivalents giving certainty of early payments. As this is a crucial time of year for farmers, the RPA cannot leave claimants from England behind.
"We have emphasised the need for slick payment delivery once again to the highest levels of the RPA and Defra. But uncertainty remains."

Since graduating I have applied to over 20 in Vermont.
5 in South Carolina. 6 in Florida. 1 in Georgia. 2 in Connecticut 3 in Pennsylvania 5 in New Hampshire. 1 in North Carolina. 2 in Maine.
I got a few interviews, and I got a lot of "We'd love to have you, but we're looking for someone with more time in the industry." Which, makes so much sense, but is also incredibly defeating (as is the added caveat of not being able to pay an additional employee, but wanting the help all the same. I want to help! I want to learn! But, bills.)
Which brings me to the interview I publicly talked about, as I quickly and unexpectedly headed down to Florida. Understandably, this coming a couple months after my audition for Disney, most people thought I was skipping down to meet The Mouse and sign a contract. (I wasn't. That dream is not over, but the timing is not quite yet.) I was interviewing for an internship at a very small, run by two sisters, super charming, event design company. Yes, I flew to Orlando for this. And I don't regret it, not a stitch.
I also don't regret turning down their offer.
Truly, it could have been a perfect fit. Our mentalities on event design were very similar. Our passion for clients and serving others by bringing joy to an event was clearly in tune. But, it was an unpaid internship, in Orlando.
And what it came down to was simple: I am a gut feeling girl. And my gut feeling was not YES! when they asked me to move to Orlando and become a part of their team.
So I turned down what might have been a (second) dream come true internship.
The coolest thing happened though, I never felt guilt about walking away from this. I thought I would. Oh how I agonized over whether to take the risk and regret it, or not take the risk, and regret it still. It was a lot of tossing and turning, and going over my options with just about everyone I knew. It was a lot of what ifs.
But when I turned it down, when I said thank you so much, but no thank you. I knew it was the right choice. I knew I was walking away from something I surely would have loved, but I was doing it for absolutely the right reasons.
|I interviewed at a local - donation only - totally amazing coffee house. Featuring, The Kennedys.
That has been huge for me. As I continue to navigate what it means to have these big dreams, and work towards big goals, and how I'll do that - learning to be okay with saying no or walking away, what a blessing that has been. I won't say it was easy. I won't say I can always do it successfully. But recognizing when I need to straighten up, and bite the bullet, it has always been better in the end.
Now, I'm six months past making that choice and I still think it was right. I'm still so happy I went to Orlando, I took that interview, I worked my way through the city and not just the Magic Kingdom. But, I'm also so happy to still be looking for that right fit, for that one thing that makes me go: Oh, this is exactly where I am supposed to be.

For years now, bits of Manu Dibango's original 1972 Soul Makossa album have been running in my head. Recently, BBC did a rather fatuous interview (below) with the great African musician. Which nonetheless reminded me of what good music he has made all these years.
Manu is perhaps the best known African (Cameroon) jazz player. A multi-instrumental musician, he favors various flavors of saxophone. He originally made a name for himself by fusing jazz with traditional Cameroonian music, later combining reggae, rhythm and blues, electro-pop, and playing with everyone from Joseph Kabasele, the African singer, to Herbie Hancock.
Not all but much of his output retained a jazz flavor, though nothing I've heard, including a second CD version put out under the same name, surpasses the vinyl Soul Makossa. In the jazzy "New Bell," Manu's soprano plays a punctuating line over complex rhythms; "Dangwa" is very Cameroonian in style; the title tune is basically a riff with a bigger band playing behind vocal and sax fills. It's all good, and there's much variety here.
On the back cover, Manu said, 41 years ago:
Standing at the crossroads of rhythmic music I look around and I see Jazz, Blues, Soul, Samba, Calypso, Beguine, etc. and I know that this music was born in AFRICA and was brought to AMERICA three centuries ago when my people sailed in chains across the Atlantic with their songs. . . . When we talk together with my musicians we call our music Afro-something. I am told that in the United States our music is now called "Black Ivory Soul."
Recorded in France, the album took off in the U.S. with sales of 30,000 in the week of its debut in 1973, as Colin Larkin tells us. Then some 23 covers spawned to slow things down, though Soul Makossa got a Grammy nomination and other awards.
In the '90s Dibango won a legal suit against Michael Jackson for his use of Soul Makossa on 'Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'', included on one of the '80s biggest selling albums, Thriller.
Rare justice in the music business.

The chocolate cake is likely one of the most common kinds of cakes which you could easily make at house. Pour evenly into the 2 ready pans. Whisk by means of to combine or, utilizing your paddle attachment, stir by flour combination till mixed effectively. I've been on a baking quest for years….making an attempt out each single chocolate cake recipe that I can get my palms on. It's my obligation as a baker to ensure that I check them all, proper?
After mixing the cake batter for an excellent 10 minutes, the mixture was still lumpy from the cocoa powder. If I make this again I'll undoubtedly be mixing the cocoa powder with the flour etc. Pour the cream right into a small saucepan and warmth over low heat for a couple of minutes.
High quality cocoa powder can change the depth of chocolate flavor. Cool on wire racks for 15 minutes and then prove the desserts onto the racks and allow to chill fully. Add in cocoa powder and vanilla extract. Add to the cake combination. 😉 the batter tasted superior and alhamdulillah the cakes odor perfect and are rising.
I've moreover tested the chocolate cake recipe with further oils, in addition to butter. Fell short of cocoa powder by half a cup however could not wait to get extra, so i added choclate pudding combine. Also, I have actually good cake pans, but the first time I baked it, it actually stuck (yes, I buttered and floured).
That sounds nice, so keep the cake as it's in all it is chocolatey goodness and simply give it a pleasant orange chocolate frosting or filling 🂠yum! Cool in pans 10 minutes; take away to wire racks to cool utterly. I do know that is an all out decadent recipe, HOWEVER this cake makes use of solely half the amount of oil normally found in chocolate desserts, much less flour, no butter, while protecting a maximum rich chocolate flavour.

For the past few months it has become clear that certain members of the politico-media bubble have been undergoing a Brexit induced breakdown. The Remainiac bug is spreading – even some Remainers who were previously worth listening to have started to sound like tin-foil hatted conspiracy theorists. It falls upon Guido to stage a public intervention for their own good. Our list does not merely include ultra-Remainers who might be irritating but have kept their marbles. These are the 10 people who have been truly driven off the deep end by Brexit…
- AC Grayling – Where else to begin? Grayling has become Twitter's nutty professor, every day pumping out increasingly unhinged anti-Brexit diatribes. Some highlights include labelling Brexiteers "vermin", seeking a general strike to oppose Brexit, claiming "90% of informed opinion" is against Brexit, alleging other ultra-Remainers were being "silenced" by forces of the state, and arguing that the Tory government is "alt-right". Grayling is alt-reality.
- Andrew Adonis – Every day he tweets about "stopping" or "halting" Brexit, which he calls "self-mutilation". Some of his more vitriolic attacks are reserved for fellow Remainers who he reckons have sold out, he claims for example that Brexit is being driven by a "David Davis-Keir Starmer axis". Peak Adonis was when he wrote to Lord Hall demanding the BBC sack Andrew Neil. Remarkably he still has a government job…
- Ben Bradshaw – Bradshaw has taken to tweeting out Louise Mensch blog posts citing "multiple sources with links to UK intelligence" who apparently say the referendum should be voided due to Russian intervention. Yesterday he tweeted that it was time for the Tories "to come clean about extent of Kremlin's reach into heart of Government". Friends don't let friends retweet Louise Mensch.
- Carole Cadwalladr – Cadwalladr appears to genuinely believe Brexit was a Russian plot, she has claimed the Leave campaign used psy-ops to hoodwink voters and doesn't appear to realise she is being elaborately trolled by Arron Banks and Andy Wigmore who have christened her "Carole Codswallop". Last night she suggested lifelong Eurosceptic Michael Gove only backed Vote Leave on the orders of the Legatum Institute, who she reckons are agents of Putin. It's so ridiculous even Newsnight have taken the piss. The Observer's continued indulging of her conspiracy theories seems almost exploitative.
- Tim Walker – The waspish former diary columnist delights in dishing out snark, but thin-skinned Tim can't take it when his conspiratorial babble is called out. The former Telegraph man turned freelancer and New European contributor reckons "Putin will continue to govern this country through stupid, weak, vain, greedy politicians so long as we, the people, are prepared to sit back and let him". Cuckoo.
- Jolyon Maugham – Twitter's most attention-seeking QC once said he considers it an honour that he is known as "the biggest c**t at the English bar". Brexit has turned him mad as well as bad. Just read how nasty Maugham was to the genial Danny Finkelstein about Article 50. And who can forget the time he decided to set up a new political party to fight Brexit. Always a telltale sign of a Brexdown.
- Jeremy Cliffe – Talking of which, the Economist's Berlin correspondent started The Radicals, seriously pledging to reverse Brexit, join the Euro, join the EU army and make Ken Clarke the next European Commission president. He quit the party after 12 hours following an all-staff internal email bollocking from his bosses. The Economist's embarrassment was the happiest the FT newsroom has been all year.
- Liam Byrne – Byrne is partly responsible for setting off the Russia conspiracy theorists (and the Mail on Sunday), demanding a "US-style judge-led inquiry" in response to a Louise Mensch blog. He's tweeted out crank articles quoting intelligence "sources" saying the referendum will need to be re-run. He's in danger of going the full Bradshaw. And Liam, we really need to talk about the beard.
- Tom Brake – There has always been something of the night about Tom Brake, and the mood of parliament's most humourless MP has not been helped by Brexit. When he's not complaining to Bercow about Guido, Brake is making a fool of himself about Legatum. LibDem press officers play a game where they compete to put the most OTT lines into his press releases, knowing Brake will never tell them to tone it down.
- Alastair Campbell – Okay so he always was a few billion short of a trade deal, but Bad Al is really not taking things well at the moment. He calls Leavers "Brextremists", compared them to jihadists and even launched into a xenophobic rant against Gisela Stuart. He's not gone in for the Putin stuff to be fair. Though that's possibly more to do with his own Russia Today appearances.
Guido wishes them well and looks forward to their post-Brexit recovery in April 2019…

"The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law."
Note that the mission statement says "young people", not just young men. The recent decision of BSA to accommodate the desire of many young women to join Scouting is thus clearly within the mission statement. However, recognizing that the interests and needs of young men and young women differ, particularly when they are younger than 16, mixed units are not part of the program, boys and girls will be in separate units.
In fulfilling their mission, in addition to Boy Scouts, BSA offers several different programs; Cub Scouts, Sea Scouts, Venturing, Learning for Life, Exploring and STEM Scouts. BSA Councils and chartered partners are free to choose which of these programs meet the needs of their youth. For example, the LDS Church recently changed their young men's program to Boy Scouts for all their young men from 11 to 18 because Varsity and Venturing were no longer meeting their needs. The LDS Church provides great support for Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts in the Utah National Parks Council and LDS units welcome young men of any faith to join these units, but these two programs do not meet the needs of everyone.
To provide better support for those programs and units not chartered to the LDS Church, the Utah National Parks Council instituted the Baden-Powell Service Area in late 2016. Ryan Bertram serves as the executive and Lee Hansen and Stan Lockhart currently serve as the nominating committee. We are looking for volunteers to serve as New Unit Commissioners to recruit and organize new units and to serve as Unit Commissioners for existing units. Units have the choice to affiliate with their local district or with the Baden-Powell Service Area. As we find willing volunteers, the Baden-Powell Service Area will be organized as a District with responsibility to serve all units in the Utah National Parks Council that are not chartered to the LDS Church.
Come and join the FUN! Support Scouting in your community!
Author: Lee Hansen | Saratoga Springs, BYU Chemistry professor for 32 years. Boy Scout volunteer for over 35 years, including 20 years as a Scoutmaster. As noted above Lee is currently involved with the Baden-Powell Service Area. He is also a member of the UNPC Commissioner College Cabinet and more.

Why spray tanning?
Whenever you come back from a vacation, the very first point family and friends normally discuss is your excellent tan, or absence thereof. Sun tanning has actually been preferred considering that the very early 20th century, yet the health dangers related to the sunlight's UV rays have made keeping an even tan -- considerably less any kind of kind of tan -- difficult, especially for those that reside in cold as well as wet environments.
Get in interior sun tanning salons, which became a prominent trend in the '80s. Now, interior tanning is a $3 billion-a-year industry in the US alone.
Because the year 2000, sunless spray tanning has taken the tanning usa by storm. It has offered males with a way to obtain and also keep a healthy-looking, even tan without being subjected to the sun's rays. Exactly what is most impressive is that, unlike previous tanning methods, the impacts of spray tanning actually look great.
Exactly what is spray tanning?
Spray tanning works by applying a special haze to the body. This haze is splashed onto the body in a display, which you can now discover at most higher-end tanning hair salons and health clubs. The mist sent out consists of dihydroxyacetone (DHA), which is a chemical that reacts with dead skin cells by cosmetically dyeing them brown. So after spray tanning, the skin takes on a golden brownish colour that typically resembles an all-natural tan.
Depending upon the booth made use of, the haze will either be water or oil based; guys with sensitive skin need to opt for a water base. Also, some beauty salons supply different kinds of mists, enabling you to select the degree of darkening. If you are extremely fair-skinned, bear in mind that going also dark will certainly look phony and awkward, no matter the quality of the product.
Will it provide me a good tan?
The haze in spray tanning momentarily makes your skin gold brown, not orange. The chain reaction literally changes your skin colour, so there's no have to bother with smear lines; besides, the products on the market have been well-tested in order to see to it they provide a colour that looks precisely like an all-natural tan (or as close as it's going to get). Also fair-skinned guys who usually transform pink rather than brownish while tanning will certainly take advantage of a bronze colour by getting a spray tan.
How long does it last?
Mystic Tan, one of the most preferred brands of spray tanning booths, states that as soon as an optimum colour is achieved, it could be sustained by tanning every 5 days. Dream Tan, a competitor, explains that their tans will last approximately 10 days. As you'll discover by continuing reading, there are particular procedures you can take (before as well as after your spray tanning session) to make sure that your tan lasts as lengthy as feasible.
Below's a mini-lesson in dermatology: The leading level of your skin naturally sheds in order to yield to more recent skin. Since that leading level of skin is the part that's dyed by the DHA, the tan wears away when the top layer of dead skin removes. So, to expand the results of the spray tan, you need to utilize moisturizer (you recognize, that lotion your woman speaks highly of) to keep the leading level from losing as promptly. Generally, if you hydrate, you need to have the ability to preserve an ideal tan for concerning 5 days.
There are many moisturizers on the market, by every cosmetic producer worldwide. You cannot stroll right into a pharmacy or department store without finding a complete rack of the stuff so head out and get that tan that you are entitled to.

Crafting a Successful Squat: The Squat is Individual

These "squat tips" often miss the mark because the squat is not a one-size-fits-all situation.

The modern kamado-style grill is based on ancient technology. The earliest cooking vessels were made of clay and found in China, dated to be over 3,000 years old. All over the world these cooking vessels evolved in many different ways, and in Japan a clay pot with a removable dome lid became popular. This device was called a "mushikamado" and it included a damper and draft door for better heat control. It also was fueled by charcoal rather than wood. The mushikamado was introduced to Americans after the Second World War. Eventually, it became known as a "kamado" which literally means "cooking range" or "stove" in Japanese.
Most modern kamado grills are made from ceramics. The use of ceramics has many advantages over other materials, mainly the excellent heat retention. Ceramic grills can retain heat for long periods of time, making them extremely versatile as they can be used for grilling, smoking, and baking. Kamados can reach consistent temperatures as low as 225° F and as high as 750°+ F. Using the vent system, precise control of airflow can be maintained, allowing kamados to function much like wood-fired ovens and they can be used to roast or bake anything. The use of modern ceramics also ensures that kamados seldom crack, which was a common fault in the original Japanese design.
Blaze Outdoor Products has recently introduced the industry's first indestructible kamado grill made from solid cast aluminum. The innovative design provides unparalleled durability, greater mobility, and the same outstanding consistent temperature control. Its unique tongue and groove design, molded exhaust cap, and non-porous body are sure to impress. See for yourself - the BLAZE KAMADO, it's JUST THAT TOUGH.
Today, kamado grills can be found in many backyards across the country. The most popular kamado brands are Blaze, Kamado Joe, Primo Ceramic Grills, Grill Dome, and Big Green Egg. Knowing the differences between the brands can be tricky given that the grills are very similar in size and construction. To make it easier to learn the details of all the brands, we've compiled a handy Kamado Grills Comparison Chart for you to use as a reference.
If you would like to learn more about how kamado grills differ from traditional charcoal grills, please visit our Kamado Grills vs. Charcoal page.
