Abersoch Swell Statistics, Maggio: All Swell – Any Wind
The graph describes the combination of swells directed at Abersoch over a normal May. It is based on 2835 NWW3 model predictions since 2007 (values every 3 hours). The wave model does not forecast wind or surf right at the coastline so we have chosen the best grid node based on what we know about Abersoch, and at Abersoch the best grid node is 36 km away (22 miles).
The rose diagram shows the distribution of swell sizes and swell direction, while the graph at the bottom shows the same thing without direction information. Five colours represent increasing wave sizes. Very small swells of less than 0.5m (1.5 feet) high are shown in blue. These were forecast 54% of the time. Green and yellow illustrate increasing swell sizes and red shows highest swells greater than >3m (>10ft). In either graph, the area of any colour is proportional to how often that size swell was forecast.
The diagram indicates that the most common swell direction, shown by the biggest spokes, was WSW (which was the same as the dominant wind direction). Because the wave model grid is out to sea, sometimes a strong offshore wind blows largest waves away from Abersoch and offshore. We group these with the no surf category of the bar chart. To avoid confusion we don't show these in the rose graph. Because wind determines whether or not waves are surfable at Abersoch, you can view an alternative image that shows only the swells that were expected to coincide with glassy or offshore wind conditions. During a typical May, swells large enough to cause good for surfing waves at Abersoch run for about 46% of the time.
IMPORTANT: Beta version feature! Swell heights are open water values from NWW3. There is no attempt to model near-shore effects. Coastal wave heights will generally be less, especially if the break does not have unobstructed exposure to the open ocean.

It's official. British supermarkets are the best. Obviously I haven't conducted a thorough or even unbiased study on the subject, but from my experiences on holiday in Europe, and living in the Far East and now the Middle East, it's beyond doubt; no supermarkets in any of those locations come close to the ones back home.
I think it comes down to the range of products on offer. This afternoon, I popped into Sainsbury's to pick up some sausages for my son. I just wanted a pack of good quality pork bangers. I struggled to find them. Did I want ones with apple in? Or caramelized onion? Or leek? Or even mustard? Well no, not really. I just wanted good old-fashioned pig in them.
In the end, I settled for finest pork with a hint of sage and nutmeg. From my son's perspective, they could just have well have contained a hint of Tom & Jerry. He just fancied sausages.
The point is, there is just so much choice. It's impossible to drop in for a pint of milk and a newspaper without also picking up coronation chicken, lemon tarts and an extra-large bottle of Pimms, just because you can. You can even buy clothes. And saucepans. And garden furniture. It's amazing.
The downside of this of course is that supermarket shopping seems to have become a national sport for the British. Whatever day or time it is, people congregate in droves to see what's on offer this week or what's new. People swarm the aisles in search of those extra Nectar points, or whatever bogus big brother loyalty scheme is currently de rigueur.
Ready meals are no longer restricted to ready-to microwave trays of limp looking lasagne. In Waitrose, you can choose your Italian favourite by region! If you fancy a curry, you can choose Indian, Thai, Sri Lankan, Indonesian or even Birmingham's finest. Ok so that last bit was perhaps a fib, but I bet someone somewhere is considering it.
And the greatest revelation about shopping in a British supermarket for the first time in a year?
I was asked if I was over 25 and therefore legally allowed to purchase the bottle of red wine in my basket.
It's the most amazing complement I've ever been paid.

This week I met Aiyat Abdelhady who is also in Art class 110. She is a third year student at CSULB and her major is Child Development. She is interested in working with children and helping develop their education. Her hobbies are to workout, to hang out with her boyfriend, and be with her dogs. A form that she likes to work out is by going hiking and exploring different places.
The question of the week was " What do you swim in?" ; at first we were a bit confused until we clarified the question with the professor. Basically it is asking what is she doing here, at school, with her family, or other different kinds of questions. She said that she is at CSULB to get a career and make her parents proud; we both shared this thought. Also she is with her family because she feels their love and support in her decisions. The same way her family is there for her, she is there for them as well.
In picture on the top she is the one on the right hand side. It was great getting to meet Aiyat.

These next few weeks are very exciting in Arizona because we are again in the spotlight!The whole nation will get to see how we live in December and January when it is a balmy 72 degrees.
We are getting a lot of calls from these bowl game participants fans and they are ready to party in the desert. They have all heard about those strict DUI laws and are looking for transportation to the games and related events. Limos and party buses are booking up quickly and I wanted to at least relay some info to some of you who may be looking to rent a limousine in Phoenix or a party bus in Scottsdale or if you want to rent a party bus to the Fiesta Bowl to tailgate in.
I wrote a blog last year warning clients about limo and party bus companies in Arizona who were not in compliance with local city, state or federal laws. These companies don't carry the proper insurance, they are running unsafe vehicles but when you cut all those corners you can offer great prices to clients. Well, I wrote the blog the day after last years Fiesta Bowl explaining a major issue that occurred at the game.
The name of the blog was "Fiesta Bowl Surprise" and what had happened was after dropping off clients at the game DOT officers had a commercial vehicle enforcement stop for almost every party bus, limo, van, etc. at the game. Needless to say, I believe it was 11 vehicles impounded and 1 driver arrested. All of those clients were now stranded at the game and my phone started ringing off the hook with desperate people with large groups needing a ride home. It was a really unfortunate situation because everyone that we work with as well as ourselves were sold out.
Those great deals didn't turn out to be so great. Please heed my warning, and look into whomever you choose for limo service while in Phoenix, Scottsdale, etc.
Platinum Ride Limousines has an excellent reputation with all of the regulatory departments in our state and we work very hard not only to be compliant but to make other operators aware of new state and city laws.
We are a longtime member of our local Arizona Limousine Association, the National Limousine Association. My brother Joe and I have held several board positions on the Arizona Limousine Association as well. Platinum Rides has also been rated as a "TOP 10" limousine company for several years now. In addition to this, we have an A rating with the BBB.
I hope you all have a wonderful stay in our great state and wish you a happy holiday.
Signing off,

The multi-faceted, platinum selling producer, songwriter, composer, conductor and musician, Troy Miller studied at the Guildhall School of music where he is now a visiting professor. Troy has worked with orchestras including the Philharmonia Orchestra and BBC Concert Orchestra and this year returned to conduct the London Symphony Orchestra at the prestigious Barbican Theatre in a concert of his own arrangements of Laura Mvula's studio albums for Symphony Orchestra. Other upcoming conductor / arranger highlights include Szczecin Philharmonic and Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra.
Troy takes full advantage of his experience as one of the top drummers in the world having toured with the likes of Amy Winehouse, Chaka Khan, Donner Summer, Mark Ronson, Roy Ayers, Laura Mvula and Gregory Porter (the last three of whom he has also produced). Laura Mvula's album 'The Dreaming Room' was nominated for a Mercury Prize in 2016 and went on to win Album of The Year at The Ivor Novello Awards in 2017, produced and co-written by Troy. Troy also contributed his producer talents to Gregory Porter's Album 'Liquid Spirit' which went on to win a Grammy Award for best Jazz vocals in 2016. Later in 2016, he also produced Rebecca Ferguson's 4th album, 'Super Woman', released on RCA Records and which charted at No.7 in the Official UK top 100 albums chart. Other artists Troy has worked and recorded with recently include: Adele, Lulu, John Newman, Cee Lo Green, Rag n Bone Man, JP Cooper, Izzy Bizu, Andreya Triana and Matt Terry.
Troy has just finished producing an album with USA artist Becca Stevens in Brooklyn NYC and has also just finished producing Jamie Cullum's next album release on Island Records.

Macklemore apologized to Kendrick Lamar last month for winning the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album. He sent a text stating "You got robbed. I wanted you to win. You should have. It's weird and sucks that I robbed you." He even posted a photo of it on Instagram. Lamar just came back with a simple response stating that Macklemore's win was "well deserved."
Well, one of Mackelmore's contemporaries Drake had more to say about the win and the apologetic text. His album Nothing Was The Same was also nominated for Best Rap Album.
According to reports, Drake stated:
I was like, 'You won. Why are you posting your text message? Just chill. Take your W, and if you feel you didn't deserve it, go get better—make better music… It felt cheap. It didn't feel genuine. Why do that? Why feel guilt? You think those guys would pay homage to you if they won?
This is how the world works: He made a brand of music that appealed to more people than me, Hov, Kanye and Kendrick. Whether people wanna say it's racial, or whether it's just the fact that he tapped into something we can't tap into. That's just how the cards fall. Own your shit.
He ended the tirate with, "To name just Kendrick? That shit made me feel funny. No, in that case, you robbed everybody. We all need text messages!"

In 2004, after growing his vinyl fence contracting business to the largest in the state, John L. Hadfield built a state of the art vinyl fence manufacturing facility in Nephi, UT to produce his own line of vinyl fence materials for distribution throughout the US and Canada. National Vinyl remains a family-run company today, many of their key leadership personnel and vinyl fence extrusion experts are members of the Hadfield family.
They specialize in PVC extrusion, which is creating linear profiles from powder to cooled, hardened PVC. National Vinyl is known for quick, friendly and personable order fulfillment.
A business tip they would share with others is, "It's been said that people are your biggest asset; we have found that the right people are our biggest asset. Investing in our local community and our team has helped us have a better quality product, and provide a service level focused on helping our clients win in their business." They are passionate about creating a quality product that we deliver on time to meet the needs of our customers.
They are always looking for talented individuals to join their growing team, and fencing contractors and distributors seeking high-quality and reliable service and products.
An advantage they have received by being a member of the Utah Manufacturers Association is that it's been a good opportunity to expose themselves to other manufacturers and learn from their successes.

A massive sinkhole has opened up in Sydney's Point Piper several streets away from Prime Minster Malcolm Turnbull's harbourside home.
Emergency Services were called to Wentworth Street in Sydney's eastern suburbs at around 7am on Wednesday following reports of a collapsed footpath, the ABC reports.
The footpath and part of the road had caved in, leading to the evacuation of nearby houses. It's thought to have been caused by heavy rainfall on Tuesday.
A Woollahra council spokesperson has told the ABC that staff were working with emergency services and police at the site.
"Council have engage technical engineers to assess the site and prepare a report for council," they said.

Fire and Rescue NSW tweeted to say that a ruptured gas line caused by the street collapse has been since shut off by a firefighter who was lowered into the pit.

According to National Geographic, a sinkhole is basically a large hole in the ground that forms when water dissolves the surface rock.
"The collapse often happens very suddenly and without very much warning. Water collects in these collapsed sections, forming sinkholes," the website stated.
There's been some incredible images captured from the scene that undoubtedly rattled residents, although no damage to private property has been recorded.

Officials Upgrade B-runby Eric Barker
Lewiston Tribune, October 14, 2010
Fish managers adjust their prediction, meaning more (and possibly bigger) steelhead are on their way here
The Clearwater River opens to catch-and-keep steelhead fishing Friday and it looks as though it should be a good year for the fish coveted for their size and fighting ability.
At last report, salmon and steelhead managers in the Columbia River Basin predicted about 71,000 B-run steelhead would return to the mouth of the Columbia River. The large majority of those fish, which generally spend two to three years in the ocean, are bound for the Clearwater River Basin. A small number return to places like the South Fork and Middle Fork of the Salmon River.
The B-run forecast has bounced around this fall and summer. Salmon and steelhead managers originally called for a return of about 91,000 fish. At one point they said the run would only reach about 51,000. But that was quickly retracted and replaced with a forecast of 61,000. Last week, the forecast was bumped to 71,000.
That is a vast improvement over last year when 30,000 to 40,000 fish returned.
Most fish in the B-run average about 12 pounds and are 32 inches long. But it's not unheard of for some fish to reach 40 inches in length and push past 20 pounds. The B-run is much smaller than the A-run in terms of quantity. This year the A-run forecast calls for 314,000. Most A-run fish are 22 to 28 inches long and average 6 to 8 pounds.
Through Monday, 183,569 steelhead, both A- and B-run, had returned past Lower Granite Dam on the Snake River. The 10-year average is 137,040.
Last year at this time, 240,814 steelhead had been counted at Lower Granite Dam.

Dr. Edelberg notes that both NutraSweet and Equal contain aspartame, a compound that is made from amino acids and methyl alcohol. Once it is absorbed, aspartame can decrease the availability of the amino acid tryptophan and reduce the brain level of the neurotransmitter serotonin. Because these changes are associated with sleep disturbances and mood disorders, patients with high blood pressure, Parkinson's disease, attention deficit disorder, and probably mood disorders should be careful about using aspartame. However, such changes do not result in Alzheimer's disease, the cause of which remains unknown.
Most people probably don't notice a thing when using these sweeteners. However, Dr. Edelberg comments that "some people who use lots of aspartame might discover that their headaches, memory loss, mood swings, or fainting spells clear up when they sweeten with a little honey instead. In my practice, which covers a lot of people who just don't feel well, I routinely take patients off aspartame if they tell me they're using it."
Actually, you're not ingesting formaldehyde when you use aspartame, but rather methyl alcohol, which is converted into formaldehyde by the liver. Methyl alcohol is, of course, used in antifreeze, and it's the formaldehyde conversion that causes all the unpleasantness associated with drinking the stuff. Dr. Edelberg notes, however, that the amount of methyl alcohol contained in Equal is very small, so using it is not the same as sipping antifreeze!
Instead of aspartame and other artificial sweeteners, Dr. Edelberg usually recommends that his patients use stevia (a natural sweetener that is extracted from a South American plant), honey, molasses, maple syrup, or Sucanat, an organic granulated sweetener evaporated from freshly squeezed sugarcane juice.

2015 is almost over! That means it's nearly time to close your books on this year, send out tax forms if you have to, and watch your postal mail for all of the tax forms that will start arriving in a few weeks!
Let's check off some things that will make things easier for you as you wrap up this year:
What should I hang on to?
- Receipts for deductible purchases OVER $75.00
- Receipts for charitable contributions made –
- If by check or cash and more than $500, you need how much and when and to whom
- If not cash, you need the donation receipt AND a description of what was donated AND when you acquired/bought it for what sum of money
- If you bought a car, major appliances, major work on your home - the invoice or bill of sale
- Everything that comes in the mail that says "Important Tax Information (or document) enclosed"
- Forms W-2, 1099, 1098 AND the year end mail from your health insurance carrier
- If you have an HSA, the tax statement from that company
- The 1099s from your investment firm or bank
- Interest statements from your bank or mortgage company
- Child care receipt showing the child care provider's name, address, tax ID number and the total amount paid
- Anything else that looks important or you're uncertain about
- Information about any new dependents
How do I get it to My Tax Guy in Houston?
- most secure – the United States Post Office. Priority mail, flat rate envelope. Costs you five bucks. Address to: 2450 Louisiana St. Ste 400 PMB 703 Houston TX 77006
- pretty darned secure - drop it off at the office! 2502 Huldy St., upstairs, Houston TX 77019
- sort of secure - Dropbox (I prefer using Tresorit, an encrypted file sharing service. You probably already have a Tresorit folder in my account. I can show you how to use it)
- not really secure - email or fax - on my end, the email and faxes come in to a secured network and computer, but these aren't great ways to send confidential information
Do I need to issue 1099s?
Probably not. UNLESS: you have been running a business, and you have people working for you to whom you've paid more than $600 (any one of them, not all of them together), then you need to issue 1099s. I can help you with that.
What about health insurance?
The financial penalties for not having health insurance start to get serious in 2016. You have until December 15, 2015 to sign up for health insurance through the marketplace for coverage that starts on January 1, 2016. If you're self-employed, your health insurance premium payments come right off of the top of your taxable income.
I always lose the stuff - what do I do?
Ask me to send you one of my new, jumbo envelopes. It is labeled with all the documents and tax forms that you should hang on to. You see one of those, stuff it into the big envelope!

Longboat Key Letters – Week ending November 10, 2017
Longboat Key News encourages Letters to the Editor on timely issues. Please email to: firstname.lastname@example.com or mail to PO Box 8001, Longboat Key, FL 34228. We also print letters sent to Town Hall that address Longboat Key issues. We reserve the right to edit.
Neighborhood Utilities Under Grounding Project – Hideaway Bay
To: Town Manager Dave Bullock
I request a meeting with the appropriate LBK Town staff to discuss the unique situation of Hideaway Bay and Mangrove Bay sub-divisions in regards to the Neighborhood Utilities Under Grounding Project. I would like to discuss the assessment and the project plan.
Our neighborhood resides on an island connected to LBK via a causeway. This development was designed and built with all utilities underground, however the power is apparently not looped.
I have reviewed our neighborhood's assessments and understand the charges for the GOM poles and the looping, however I do not understand why we are being assessed such a high General Benefits figure when we are already completely underground. I have attached a Powerpoint file comparing our neighborhood assessment to my old neighborhood, Corey's Landing. Please note that Corey's Landing (which only differs in that it is already looped) is being assessed a fraction of our cost.
I believe that an assessment consistent with other under grounded neighborhoods would be:
• GOM Poles $519.20
• Fiber $423.30
• Looping $1817.94
This would result in a total assessment of $2,760.44 per property vs. the current $4,379.17.
Secondly, I would like to discuss project timing and the technical implications on our existing underground infrastructure.
Please let me know who we can meet with and when, to discuss the above.
Robert Hanna
President Hideaway Bay Association

Colony moving forward…
To: Town Commission
As you are aware, I have been involved with The Colony for a little more than five years now and have acquired a residence in Longboat Key where I spend quite a lot of time. This has afforded me with many opportunities to enjoy the wonderful culture of the area and the introduction to so many fabulous people. We love Longboat Key!
Throughout this time, I have heard the voices of the community and their visions regarding the redevelopment of The Colony property. Over the last several months, we have expended a significant amount of time, effort and money to refine the development plan accordingly. We have maintained all the great features and amenities, as originally proposed, while significantly decreasing the scale of the project to ensure that the integrity of Longboat Key is preserved. We have, also, worked closely with the current unit owners of The Colony to support their ideas and price expectations.
This has all been an extremely arduous puzzle to piece together, but we have been successful to date. We have also secured a world-class five-star hotel to anchor this fine property and are so very excited about the future. Soon we will bring this plan in front of your Commission for approval and we sincerely pray that you support this development and find it as special as we do.
Attached please find a signed authorization from the Association, which provides us with the authority to represent their interests for the future redevelopment of The Colony. The Board and collective unit owners had a meeting this week and voted 8 to1 in favor of Unicorp as their developer. You will also find a resolution, which outlines our journey to get to this application.
Upon review of this information, we are hopeful that our plan will garner your support for this new development and help us usher in a whole new breath of life for the revitalization of The Colony. Lastly, please find attached a rendering of our new plan. I truly hope you like it!

So many thanks!
To: Fire Chief Paul Dezzi, Police Chief Pete Cumming, Town Manager Dave Bullock
Bernie, Brad and I are very thankful to live in a town where we can have a meeting with the town management about our concerns for our homes and our town. Thanks for welcoming us and talking with us about our mutual concerns and opportunities. We know Longboat Key is a special place and part of the "Special" is all of you! Thanks very much and we hope to work together to solve some thorny issues we have and also to help Longboat Key thrive in the years ahead!

City attempts to slow traffic on Fruitville Road
To: Town Commission
Bicycle/Pedestrian Advocates made a big effort earlier this year to stop the Fruitville Road Streetscape Enhancement project, which would spend $10.2 million to slow down through traffic on Fruitville Road. The plan called for narrowing Fruitville Road all the way from US 41 to US 301. And, the staff's preferred option of the plan called for converting Fruitville Road into two lanes, from Cocoanut Avenue to Lemon Avenue, with 3 single lane roundabouts. In our effort, we got the support of the Lido Key Residents Association, the Bird Key Homeowners Association, The Town of Longboat Key, the Longboat Key Revitalization Task Force, the Sarasota Manatee Bicycle Club, the Sarasota Herald Tribune, and the Sarasota Observer. And, we succeeded in preventing it from being presented in March, as per its announced schedule.
But, it looks like City staff are trying to revive the plan. They are now proposing a meeting to discuss relegating cyclists to side roads as part of eliminating the bike lanes on Fruitville Road, as part of their revival of the Fruitville Streetscape plan. See the notice posted below.
First, I wanted to let you know that City of Sarasota staff are trying to revive the Fruitville Road plan. And, obviously, we hope that you will take steps to stop it over the coming months. Through the grapevine, we hear that they want to bring this to the City Commission late this year.
Second, I would like to ask that you send representatives to this meeting and speak out against the City's plan. If you can send representative, please let me know.

Diego Barrueco (Murcia, 1991) started his career on his own: he was posting pictures of himself and his colleagues on Tumblr, what he felt like posting, what he liked at the time, and there he was scouted. After moving to London and signing with Established Models, his rocket was already up in the sky. He has worked alongside Ellie Goulding and for brands such as Nike, Puma, Pull&Bear and Calvin Klein, among others, and while he is still modelling, his shadow grows unstoppably on social media as well, where he holds almost 700k and a legion of fans ready to stand up. The freckles, the hair, the moles, the body, all build a strong image for Diego and make him a sexual power ready to be followed – and dreamed about. Gracing this issue's cover, we talk about obsessions, sexuality and philias, about emotions and connections, and a powerful idea comes in between my questions and his answers, between the fandom and the likes of it all : feeling confident and going for what you like. Why is – his – sex selling so much, we wonder. I ask and he replies. And the library is open.
Being rated #4 sexiest man in the world by HEAT Magazine and having a fan base of more than 670K, you are considered quite a sexual power. When did you start – if ever - noticing you had an effect on people?
When I started posting silly photos of myself and my friends on Tumblr, probably around 2011 or so. People started reblogging them like crazy, which was a surprise.
- We live in a showing off era, where the body and the soul are constantly exposed. As a model and influencer, both your body and some of your thoughts are out there. That takes confidence. Do you consider yourself confident in a physical/sexual way?
I'm pretty confident I'd say, now more than ever. It's a matter of staying true to oneself, which can be hard in this shallow world. We all have some things we don't like about ourselves, we just have to embrace them and realise no one is perfect.
- Is that the best way to keep the self-esteem up in this challenging world of ours?
I think it's about realising everyone is different and that's great. Beauty canons are there to be broken: what you might hate about yourself is what makes you unique. Many people are self-conscious of their moles, I love being covered in them – same with birthmarks. My right arm is full of them, shoulder to fingertips, and I love it. It's something no one else has.
- What do you find attractive in others? Any physical and personality treats you care for?
I love people who show confidence and don't worry about little silly things, those who have ambition and do things they love instead of going for the easy job that makes them hate every Monday. Physically I have a thing for nice skin, eyes, hair and also a good .
- "How wonderful it is to be beautiful and to know you are". Share your thoughts.
It's wonderful to realise everyone is beautiful in their own way. Sounds very cliché and all, but if you pay attention to that you will understand how true it is.
- You were discovered on Tumblr, and your beauty took you to the modelling industry and from there to fandom. Did you ever think that was possible?
No way! I was just posting shit quality photos of me and my friends, not posey at all. I guess it's the genuine aspect of them what made people love them. It was the early days of social media. Nowadays everyone tries to post the most pretentious photos, acting like they are not posing. That is corny as fuck.
- How has your life changed since then?
A lot. From studying at uni in Salamanca, Spain, to living in London doing things I love. I am so grateful for that.
- Why do you think sex is selling so much?
Cause everyone loves it! Society is finally accepting it as a good thing instead of censoring it like many religions have been trying to do for centuries.
- Your fan base is young and strong. What kind of relationship do you have with them? How does having 670k people rooting for you make you feel?
It's nice to feel loved, obviously. I still post whatever I want, as I've always done. That keeps things real and I think that is what makes people follow me. It's easy to post just half naked selfies all the time, but that is just not me. You follow someone because you like what they post, you can't force them to post whatever you – as a follower – want. If you don't like their posts don't follow them in the first place. It's not just about likes to me. For some people this is hard to see.
- You are a confessed fan of music. This leads me to wonder two things. The first one is related to sex and music: what music has been played in an epic sexy moment of yours and what kind of music never fails?
Of course. The Weekend's first albums,and also Jeremih is a good one for that.
- For the second one I am going to take three sentences taken out of lyrics and I want you to let me know what they inspire in/suggest to you:
- "If you have it babe just show it, while you are young and free." (Petite Meller, Barbaric)
True, or yolo as Drake would say.
2. "While I am standing over your body like a python, and you can't keep your hands off me or your pants on." (Lana del Rey, National Anthem)
Lana is a good source for sex music too, that is for sure.
3. "We sex again in the morning, your breast is my breakfast.
We going in, we be all night" (Beyoncé ft. Jay Z, Drunk in love)
Morning sex is the best sex.
- Let's talk about passion. Have you ever felt an instant sexual connection with someone? A burning fire.
Yeah I have, but the more love is involved, the better the connection for me.
- Moving to flirting. Do you feel comfortable when setting sights on someone? What do you do?
I'm the shyest when it comes to flirting. I'm never the first one saying something, fear of regret is real here haha.
- Ever felt rejected? If so, share an elegant way to overcome a failed sexual move.
Who hasn't? Haha, that is why you shouldn't give it much importance.
- Do you have any obsessions you could share?
I have a thing for calves! Is that weird!? I guess it's because it shows how active a person is.
- And what is the most erotic/sexiest thing someone has ever said to you?
Some people get turned on when they find out I'm Spanish, apparently Spaniards have a good fame abroad. So when they compliment me for being Spanish is always very sexual haha.
- Working in fashion, you are familiar with the body image and sexuality as a way of selling. How do you see it from the inside, as a model?
For some shoots it can seem that sexuality/body image is really important. As a result fashion can appear a very shallow industry. I think this can help to fuel a model's own insecurities. If you are being looked at simply as an object, just a body or face, without your personality being taken into account, it can be really tough. I think it is especially true when you are starting out, but I guess over time you get used to it. Otherwise it's not the right industry for you.
- You have designed some clothing for RUFFLR. How did that happen? Are you planning to explore a bit more in that direction?
I have been into fashion since I was 16, always wanted to design things that I would wear. It was a good experience, but sadly I didn't have much time to focus on it properly. Maybe in the future I will give it a good chance. I'm immersed in another fashion project at the moment.
- What projects do you have for the near future?
I just started an online sneaker store with two other friends, so I'm 100 per cent focused on that. It's called Peng Point. It makes me so happy, I love sneakers so much and everyone who knows me know it is perfect for me.

7 things to do to avoid hair fall caused while removing tangles!
Hair fall is one of those problems that can create much of mental stress too. Though the main reasons of hair fall are found to be lack of enough nutrients (such as iron, B vitamins, Folic acid),dandruff, lack of proper care. One another reason that has gone unnoticed is the way we comb our hair. Yes improper combing of hair also leads to hair fall. So how to comb our hair in a proper way? Here are a few ways to do that.
Use wide toothed comb:
The main idea behind using wide toothed comb is that due to the wide intervals between the tooth's of the comb, it becomes easy to remove the tangles in the hair. Similarly the reason why not to use narrow toothed comb is that due to the short intervals between the tooth's of the comb, while combing the tangles in the hair get struck between them as a result of which we apply more pressure to remove them leading to hair break down. So always use a wide toothed comb to remove the tangles and once removed then use any comb of your choice to style the hair.
Use wooden combs instead of plastic combs:
What happens when hair is combed with a plastic comb is that a kind of attractive force gets produced between the hair and the comb as a result of which the hair gets attached or attracted to the comb making combing difficult naturally leading to hair fall.
The test: Here is a test to explain the attractive force. Take a sheet of paper, tear them into pieces and place them on a table. Now using a plastic comb, comb your hair for at least 3-5 minutes. Now bring the plastic comb near the pieces of paper on the table, you will notice the paper pieces being attached or attracted towards the comb. This test was explained by "Coulomb's law "
Follow bottom-up approach:
Always comb your hair from bottom to top while removing tangles. That is first remove the tangles present in the tail part of the hair and slowly proceed towards the top. This ensures that not much pressure is applied on the roots of the hair, therefore protects the hair from breaking down.
Divide the hair into sections:
"The more the sections, the less the hair fall"
At least divide the hair into 2 equal sections, while removing tangles. When you comb your entire hair as a bulk in one stretch, it becomes difficult for you to concentrate on each and every tangle present. So naturally what happens is that we try to apply more pressure to remove them, automatically leading to hair fall. So when we divide the hair into sections it becomes easier for us to concentrate on each section with care. Though it may be time consuming it certainly protects our precious tresses from breaking down.
Apply oil or leave on conditioner:
Before combing your hair, either for removing tangles or for styling apply a little oil ensuring that all the hair strands gets covered by it. Else if you feel applying oil leaves your forehead and face too getting oily then go in for a leave on conditioner. The idea behind applying them is to make your hair a kind of lubricated as a result of which combing becomes smooth. Also it prevents the attractive force that gets produced between the hair and the comb making things easier.
Never comb wet hair:
It is said that when the hair is wet the hair root gets weaker. On the other hand, the tangles get strongly bonded due to the moisture making things difficult. So naturally in order to remove those tangles we apply more pressure as a result of which the hair roots already weaker will more easily break. So never ever comb your hair when it is wet. Due to some reasons if you don't have enough time to dry your hair before going out then just tie your hair loosely and step out. Once you get back home then follow the above steps to comb the hair.
Comb slowly:
In this fast moving world we are forced to do everything fast but never ever comb your hair fast in a hurry bury. Express your love and care for your hair by spending quality time with it by combing slowly as a result of which your hair will love you back without breaking down!

Chandra offers new evidence for dark energy
Posted: Wed, May 19, 2004, 8:47 AM ET (1247 GMT)
Images from the orbiting Chandra X-Ray Observatory have provided astronomers with new evidence that a mysterious "dark energy" is causing the expansion of the universe to accelerate. Astronomers used Chandra to study 25 distant galaxy clusters at x-ray wavelengths, relying on the property of such clusters to have similar ratios of hot gas which can be detected by Chandra to the overall mass of the cluster, to measure the distance to each cluster. Astronomers found that the expansion of the universe first decelerated after the Big Bang, but began to accelerate about six billion years ago. That acceleration is thought to be caused by dark energy, an unexplained phenomenon that acts against gravity. Astronomers studying the Chandra data concluded that 75% of the universe is composed of dark energy, a similar fraction to other studies that relied on observations of distant supernovae.

ATS Bible Dictionarythe Book Of Proverb
A collection of pointed and sententious moral maxims, the fruit of Solomon's profound sagacity and unexampled experience, but above all, of the inspiration of God. Solomon is said to have uttered three thousand proverbs, 1 Kings 4:32, B. C. 1000. The first nine chapters of Proverbs are written in an admirable poetic style, and are more continuous than the succeeding Proverbs 10:1-22:29, which consist of separate maxims. Proverbs 25:1-29:27 are proverbs of Solomon collected under the direction of King Hezekiah. Proverbs 30:1-33 is ascribed to Agur, and affords examples of the enigmatic proverbs so popular in the East. Proverbs 31:1-31, by "king Lemuel," is mainly a beautiful picture of female excellence. By whose care this book was compiled in its present form, is unknown; there is no book of the Old Testament, however, whose canonical authority is better attested. The New Testament contains frequent quotations and allusions to it, Romans 12:20 1 Thessalonians 5:15 Hebrews 12:5-6 James 4:6 1 Peter 4:8 2 Peter 2:22. Its "winged words" are a rich storehouse of heavenly wisdom, and few questions can arise in actual life, on which they do not shed light.

This would allow the customer to very easily replace the filter from the conditioned space. Just a thought. Maybe this is common practice but I have never seen it done and I hate 1" ceiling filter racks
Honeywell sells a 4" filter grille that you could probably put in the ceiling. Check out the FC40R line.

Blue Letter Bible offers several daily devotional readings in order to help you refocus on Christ and the Gospel of His peace and righteousness.
Recognizing the value of consistent reflection upon the Word of God in order to refocus one's mind and heart upon Christ and His Gospel of peace, we provide several reading plans designed to cover the entire Bible in a year.
A. Israel's bad example.
1. (1Co 10:1-5) Israel in the Exodus: blessed, with many spiritual experiences; yet they were disqualified.
Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ. But with most of them God was not well pleased, for their bodies were scattered in the wilderness.
a. Moreover, brethren: 1 Corinthians 10 carries on the subject introduced in 1 Corinthians 8, and continued in chapter 9: what should the Corinthian Christians think and do in regard to meat which has been sacrificed to idols?
i. In 1 Corinthians 8, Paul established two principles. First, an idol really is nothing, and it was fine for Corinthian Christians who understood this to act according to this knowledge, in regard to themselves. Second, that as Christians, love is more important to us than knowledge. So even though I may "know" eating meat sacrificed to an idol is all right for myself, if it causes my brother to stumble, I won't do it, because it isn't the loving thing to do.
ii. In 1 Corinthians 9, Paul showed how important it is for a Christian to give up their "rights." Just as Paul gave up his "right" to be supported by his own preaching of the gospel, so some of the Corinthian Christians must sometimes give up their "right" to eat meat sacrificed to idols, based on the principle of love towards a weaker brother. In the end of chapter 9, Paul shows how a Christian must be willing to give up some things - even "good" things - for the sake of winning the race God has set before us, or else we will become disqualified (1 Corinthians 9:27) in the competition God has set before us.
b. I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers: Paul has been writing about the need to finish what God has set before us, and how dangerous it is to not be willing to give up something which gets in the way of finishing. Now, he will use Israel's experience in the Exodus from Egypt to illustrate this principle.
c. Think of all the blessings Israel had in the Exodus from Egypt!
i. Our fathers passed through the cloud: The cloud of Shekinah glory overshadowed Israel throughout their journey from Egypt to the Promised Land. During the day, the cloud sheltered them from the brutal desert sun, and during the night, it burned as a pillar of fire. It was a constant, ready reminder of God's glory and presence (Exodus 13:21-22).
ii. All passed through the sea, all were baptized into Moses: All of Israel came through the Red Sea and saw God's incredible power in holding up the walls of the sea so Israel could cross over on dry ground, and then God's work of sending the water back to drown the Egyptian army (Exodus 14:21-31). It was not only an amazing demonstration of God's love and power, but also a picture of baptism - by "passing through water," all of Israel was identified with Moses, even as by "passing through water," a Christian is identified with Jesus Christ (Romans 6:3-4).
iii. All ate the same spiritual food and all drank the same spiritual drink: All of Israel was sustained by God's miraculous provision of food and drink during their time in the wilderness (Exodus 16:35 and 17:6). This was a remarkable display of God's love and power for Israel, and a pre-figuring of the spiritual food and drink we receive at the Lord's table (1 Corinthians 11:23-26).
iv. Israel even had ancient versions of the two Christian sacraments we receive to this day: baptism and communion. The word sacrament was used for the oath of allegiance which the soldiers of the Roman legion took to their emperor. The early Christians considered communion and baptism to be an "oath of allegiance" unto Jesus Christ.
v. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ: Israel even had the presence of Jesus Christ with them in the wilderness! Here, in identifying the Rock that followed them, Paul is building on a Rabbinical tradition which said Israel was supplied with water by the same rock all through the wilderness, a rock which followed them. Some Bible scholars today debate as to if the rock followed Israel, or if the water followed Israel (as in a stream). The point is the same: Jesus Christ was present with Israel in the wilderness, providing for their needs miraculously. What blessing, what privilege!
d. But with most of them God was not well pleased: Despite all these blessings and spiritual privileges, the Israelites in the wilderness did not please God. Because of all the blessings, out of gratitude, they should have been more pleasing to God, but they were not.
i. Most of them is a hard-hitting understatement. Only two men from the adult generation which left Egypt came into the Promised Land (Joshua and Caleb). Most indeed!
e. For their bodies were scattered in the wilderness: The displeasure of God with the Israelites was evident because they never entered into the Promised Land, but died in the wilderness instead. For all their blessings and spiritual experiences, they never entered into what God really had for them.
f. Paul's point hits hard: the Corinthian Christians were probably taking all sorts of liberties (like feasting in pagan temples, stumbling their brothers), thinking that they were "safe" because of their past blessings and spiritual experiences (especially baptism and communion). So, Paul warns them to beware, because just as Israel was blessed and had spiritual experiences, they still perished - and so some of the Corinthian Christians might also!
i. "It seems as if the Corinthians had supposed that their being made partakers of the ordinances of the Gospel, such as baptism and the Lord's Supper, would secure their salvation, notwithstanding, they might be found partaking of idolatrous feasts; as long, at least, as they considered an idol to be nothing in the world." (Clarke)
2. (1Co 10:6-10) Avoiding Israel's bad example.
Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted. And do not become idolaters as were some of them. As it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play." Nor let us commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell; nor let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents; nor complain, as some of them also complained, and were destroyed by the destroyer.
a. Now these things became our examples: We can, and should, learn from Israel's failure in the wilderness. How did Israel fail?
b. They failed in that they could not say "no" to their desires, and so we must not lust after evil things as they also lusted. The Corinthian Christians who insisted on eating meat sacrificed to idols even though they were leading other Christians into sin just couldn't say "no." They said, "the meat is so good!" or "it is such a bargain!" but they could not say "no" out of love for God and love for a brother.
c. And do not become idolaters as were some of them: Israel failed to keep their focus on God, and they started giving themselves to idolatry (as in Exodus 32:1-6 and Numbers 25:1-3). Some of the Corinthian Christians were not only getting too close in their association with idols, they were also making an idol out of their own "knowledge" and their own "rights."
d. Nor let us commit sexual immorality as some of them did: Israel, in their idolatry, surrendered to the temptation of sexual immorality. Rose up to play (quoted from Exodus 32:6) is a tasteful way to refer to rank immorality among the people of Israel. We know the Corinthian Christians were having trouble with sexual immorality (1 Corinthians 6:18-20), and the context here suggests it is connected with their selfish desire to please themselves, expressed in insisting on the "right" to eat meat sacrificed to idols.
i. "The verb translated play suggests sex-play in Hebrew … and therefore we are probably to understand drunken orgies." (Cole, in his commentary on Exodus)
ii. And in one day twenty-three thousand fell: This number presents some difficulty. The quotation from Exodus 32:6 sets the context there, and in Exodus 32:28 tells us about three thousand men of the people fell that day. Perhaps there were more who died which the Scriptures do not record, or there were 20,000 women who died in the aftermath of the golden calf incident. Or, some think Paul has jumped ahead to another time when Israel's sexual immorality during the Exodus brought God's judgment upon them (Numbers 25:9). In the Numbers passage, we are told that 24,000 died from the judgment of God, but perhaps it was 23,000 who died in one day.
iii. "What a wonderful book is the Bible, written at intervals during a period of fifteen hundred years, when such apparitions of inaccuracy as this must be seized upon to impeach its infallibility!" (Hodge)
e. Nor let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents; nor complain: Numbers 21:4-9 describes the incident where, in response to the complaining of the people, God sent fiery serpents among the people. Again, their complaining hearts show them to be self-focused and more concerned with their own desires than God's glory - the same issues causing trouble with the Corinthian Christians who will not yield their right to eat meat sacrificed to idols for the sake of another brother.
f. Because of the warning in 1 Corinthians 10:1-5, it seems the Corinthian Christians believed they were "safe" from the danger of being destroyed (as the Israelites were destroyed) because of their past spiritual experiences or accomplishments. But Paul's warning stands: "If it happened to Israel, it can happen to you. Be on guard."
i. The Corinthian Christians seem to have regarded this issue of eating meat sacrificed to idols and thereby stumbling their brother as a "small" issue. Paul wants them, and us, to know: it reflects a selfish, self-focused heart, which is the kind of heart God destroyed among the Israelites in the wilderness. It may have been a relatively small symptom, but it was a symptom of a great and dangerous disease.
3. (1Co 10:11-13) Summary of the lesson from Israel's history: standing strong against temptation.
Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come. Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.
a. All these things happened to them as examples: Since we are those upon whom the ends of the ages have come, we can and should take warning from the bad example of Israel. We have a greater responsibility because we can learn from Israel's mistakes.
b. Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall: For the Corinthian Christians to resist the temptation to be selfish and self-focused, they must first understand they are vulnerable. The one who thinks he stands will not even be on guard against temptation, so he can easily fall.
i. Temptation works like rocks in a harbor; when the tide is low, everybody sees the danger and avoids it. But Satan's strategy in temptation is to raise the tide, and to cover over the dangers of temptation. Then he likes to crash you upon the covered rocks.
ii. "The highest saint under heaven can stand no longer than he depends upon God and continues in the obedience of faith. He that ceases to do so will fall into sin, and get a darkened understanding and a hardened heart." (Clarke)
c. No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man: We often want to excuse our particular tempting circumstances as "very unique" and a "special exception." But God reminds us that our temptation is not unique - many other men and women of God have faced the same or similar temptation, and have found the strength in God to overcome the temptation.
i. Others before you have found strength in the Lord to overcome your same temptation - and worse. So, you can be victorious - in the strength of Jesus, not in your own strength. We fight temptation with Jesus' power, like the girl who explained what she did when Satan came with temptation at the door of her heart: "I send Jesus to answer the door. When Satan sees Jesus, he says, 'OOPS, sorry, I must have the wrong house.'"
d. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able: God has promised to supervise all temptation which comes at us through the world, the flesh or the devil. He promises to limit it according to our capability to endure it - according to our capability as we rely on Him, not relying on ourselves.
i. Satan would destroy us in a minute if God would let him, even as he wanted to destroy Job (Job 1:6-12) and Peter (Luke 22:31), but God will not let him. So, like a mom who keeps her child from the candy aisle in a store, knowing the child couldn't handle that temptation, God keeps us from things we can't handle. But what we can and can't handle changes over the years!
e. With the temptation will also make the way of escape: God has promised to not only limit our temptation, but also to provide a way of escape in tempting times. He will never force us to use the way of escape, but he will make the way of escape. It's up to us to take God's way of escape.
i. The way of escape isn't the same as mere "relief" from the pressure temptation, which some people find by giving into the temptation! There is often a wrong way to relieve a temptation, and we will often face the same temptations over and over again until we show Satan and our flesh we are able to bear it.
ii. Barclay says the word for a way of escape is really a mountain pass, with the idea of an army being surrounded by the enemy, and then suddenly seeing an escape route to safety. It isn't necessarily an easy way!
f. The way of escape does not lead us to a place where we escape all temptation (that is heaven alone); the way of escape leads us to the place where we may be able to bear it.
i. We are reminded that to be tempted is not sin; but to entertain temptation, or surrender to temptation is sin. When we bear temptation, Satan often condemns us for being tempted, but it that is condemnation from Satan the Christian does not need to accept!
ii. At a market, a little boy standing by some candy looked like he was going to put some in his pocket and walk out the door. A clerk watched the boy for a long time, and finally spoke to him. "Looks like you're trying to take some candy" the clerk asked. The boy replied, "You're wrong, mister. I'm trying not to." For the time being, he was able to bear it!
B. Back to the issue of eating meat sacrificed to idols: what about eating in the restaurant of a pagan temple?
1. (1Co 10:14) The principle stated: flee from idolatry.
Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
a. Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry: In the original language, there is an article before idolatry, literally saying the idolatry. Paul is specifically referring to the idolatry at the pagan temples.
b. Though the Corinthian Christians may have the liberty to buy meat at the pagan temple butcher shop and prepare it in their own homes, they should flee from idolatry in regards to the restaurant of the pagan temple. Using the example of Israel, and their lapse into idolatry, Paul tells the Corinthian Christians to not participate in the dinners served at the pagan temple.
2. (1Co 10:15-22) The reason why: what goes on at the pagan temple is not as innocent as it may seem.
I speak as to wise men; judge for yourselves what I say. The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? For we, though many, are one bread and one body; for we all partake of that one bread. Observe Israel after the flesh: Are not those who eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar? What am I saying then? That an idol is anything, or what is offered to idols is anything? Rather, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord's table and of the table of demons. Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?
a. I speak as to wise men: Since the Corinthian Christians tended to pride themselves on their "wisdom," Paul challenges them - if they are truly wise - to carefully consider what he says here.
b. The cup of blessing … Are not those who eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar? Paul's point may seem obscure to us, but it was plain to someone in that ancient culture. Just as the Christian practice of communion speaks of unity and fellowship with Jesus, so these pagan banquets, given in the honor of idols, speak of unity with demons who take advantage of misdirected worship. To eat at a pagan temple banquet was to have fellowship at the altar of idols.
i. The word partakers is the same word (koinonia) for communion in 1 Corinthians 10:16 and fellowship in 1 Corinthians 10:20.
ii. In the thinking of that part of the ancient world, to eat at the same table with someone indicated friendship and fellowship with that person. Since you ate of one bread, that made you one body, because you both shared of the same food at the same table. So to eat at the table of a pagan temple restaurant was not as innocent as it seemed.
iii. The cup of blessing was the last cup presented in the Jewish Passover ceremony; this was the cup that Jesus blessed at the Last Supper, and the one interpreted as "the new covenant in my blood." When early Christians took communion, they were aware of its connection to Passover, and with the last supper of Jesus with His disciples.
c. What am I saying then? That an idol is anything, or what is offered to idols is anything? … they sacrifice to demons: Paul has already acknowledged an idol is nothing in the world (1 Corinthians 8:4). Is he now saying idols are actually demons? No; but he is saying demonic spirits take advantage of idol worship to deceive and enslave people. Without knowing it, idol worshippers are glorifying demons in their sacrifice.
d. When Paul speaks of the Lord's table, he uses the term to contrast with "tables" used for pagan idol meals; an ancient invitation to such a meal reads "Chairemon invites you to a meal at the table of the lord Serapis in the temple of Serapis, tomorrow the fifteenth from nine o'clock onwards." If it means something to eat at the Lord's table, then it means something to eat at the table of demons.
i. Roman Catholics have used this passage to support the idea of the Mass as a sacrifice for sins. But it is reading far too much in the text to say that the Christian meal (communion) must be a sacrifice (as it is claimed to be in the Mass) because it is compared to the meal connected with pagan sacrifices and Jewish sacrifices. The emphasis, and the similarity here, is on the meal, not the sacrifice.
e. There may be two Corinthian ideas Paul is trying to answer:
i. The Corinthian Christians were thinking, "Since an idol is not real, it doesn't matter what we eat, and it doesn't matter where we eat it." Paul answers by agreeing that an idol is in itself nothing (1 Corinthians 8:4); but now explains that demons take advantage of man's ignorant and self-serving worship.
ii. The Corinthian Christians were thinking, "As long as we are participating in the Lord's Table, we are safe in Him." Paul answers that they are disgracing the Lord's table when they fellowship with idols.
f. The unwitting fellowship of some of the Corinthian Christians with demons, by participating in the dinners at the pagan temples, will provoke the Lord to jealousy. He has a right over all our worship, and has a right to be offended if we give our fellowship to demons.
i. It doesn't matter that the Corinthian Christians didn't intend to worship demons at these heathen feats in pagan temples; if a man puts his hand into the fire, it doesn't matter if he intends to burn himself or not. He is burned just the same.
ii. If a man dates a woman, and they get serious about their relationship, what will happen if he takes up the same kind of relationship with another woman? What will the first woman think? Why can't the man say, "well, I still give attention to you!"
g. Are we stronger than He? The Corinthian Christians claimed the right to eat at pagan temples because they were such strong Christians; but are they stronger than God?
C. Back to the issue of eating meat sacrificed to idols: what about eating the same meat somewhere else?
1. (1Co 10:23-24) A principle to build on: don't just avoid what is harmful; pursue what is good.
All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify. Let no one seek his own, but each one the other's well-being.
a. All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful: The Corinthian Christians, with their focus on their own "rights" and their own "knowledge," were only asking one question: what's the harm to me? Instead of only asking that question, they needed to also ask, what good can this be for me?
i. Just because something is permitted does not mean it is beneficial. The Corinthians were not seeking the helpful things, or the things that would edify. Essentially, instead of wanting to go forward with Jesus as much as they could, they wanted to know how much they could get away with and still be Christians. That's the wrong approach!
b. Let no one seek his own, but each one the other's well-being: As well, the Corinthian Christians were asking one question: what's the harm to me? They did not consider how their actions were harming others.
i. Just because something is fine for me does not mean should do it. My own "rights" or what I know to be permitted for myself are not the standards by which I judge my behavior. I must consider what is the loving thing to do towards my brothers and sisters in Jesus.
2. (1Co 10:25-30) Practical guidelines.
Eat whatever is sold in the meat market, asking no questions for conscience' sake; for "the earth is the Lord's, and all its fullness." If any of those who do not believe invites you to dinner, and you desire to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no question for conscience' sake. But if anyone says to you, "This was offered to idols," do not eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for conscience' sake; for "the earth is the Lord's, and all its fullness." "Conscience," I say, not your own, but that of the other. For why is my liberty judged by another man's conscience? But if I partake with thanks, why am I evil spoken of for the food over which I give thanks?
a. Eat whatever is sold in the meat market: How can Paul say this, in light of what he said in 1 Corinthians 10:20-21 (the things which the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice to demons … I do not want you to have fellowship with demons … you cannot partake of the Lord's table and of the table of demons)? Simply because the meat itself isn't "infected by demons," and can thus be eaten. Paul's warnings in 1 Corinthians 10:15-22 have to do with the atmosphere of fellowship with demons at the pagan temple, which is to be avoided, not the food itself.
i. The sacrifices lost their religious character when sold in the meat market, so it was permitted to eat meat that may have been sacrificed to an idol at a private table.
b. Asking no questions: At the butcher shop, some of the meat was sacrificed to idols, and some of it was not. Paul says, "if you aren't going to partake of the atmosphere of the pagan temple, the meat itself doesn't matter. Don't even ask, and it won't even bother you."
i. This is directed towards those Corinthian Christians who had consciousness of the idol … and their conscience, being weak, is defiled (1 Corinthians 8:7). Paul says, "don't even ask!"
ii. What if one of the brothers with a weak conscience objects, saying "Wait a minute! That meat was sacrificed to an idol!" Paul responds by quoting, The earth is LORD'S, and all its fullness (Psalm 24:1). The cow belonged to the Lord when it was on the hoof, and it belongs to the Lord now that it is on the barbecue! The food wasn't the issue, the idol worshipping atmosphere was.
iii. This quotation from Psalm 24:1 was used as a Jewish blessing at mealtimes. Paul is saying it applies to this food also!
c. If any of those who do not believe invites you to dinner … eat what is set before you: If an unbeliever invites you to dinner, don't get into a debate about the meat with them. Don't ask, and it won't bother you!
i. Notice that Paul does not prohibit socializing with non-Christians; only the meal of fellowship at the pagan temples.
d. But if anyone says to you, "This was offered to idols," do not eat it: Here, Paul has in mind the setting where a Christian is warned about the food by his unbelieving host, or a Christian host with a sensitive conscience. In that case, it is clear the person thinks it is wrong for Christians to partake of meat sacrificed to idols, so don't eat it - for the sake of conscience, not your own, but that of the other.
e. But if I partake with thanks - that is, if I can eat with a clear conscience, and offending no one else's conscience - why am I evil spoken of: Since the food itself is not the problem, no one should judge another Christian who can eat meat sacrificed to idols, as long as they don't violate their own conscience or someone else's.
i. It may seem that Paul is being inconsistent; but he is being very consistent according to one principle: liberty within the limits of love.
3. (1Co 10:31-33) Concluding principle: Do all to the glory of God.
Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. Give no offense, either to the Jews or to the Greeks or to the church of God, just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.
a. Do all to the glory of God: The purpose of our lives isn't to see how much we can get away with and still be Christians; rather, it is to glorify God. If the Corinthian Christian would have kept this principle in mind from the beginning in this issue, how much easier it would have made everything!
b. Give no offense: An offense is an occasion to stumble, of leading someone else into sin. Paul is saying none of our behavior should encourage another to sin.
i. Paul is not talking about offending the legalism of others, something he was not shy about doing (Galatians 5:11-12).
c. Paul's desire regarding men was that they may be saved; more often than we think, low conduct in Christian living is connected to little regard for the lost. Paul's concern was not seeking [his] own profit, but that all may be saved.

Summer on the Slave River
teamjk 10/01/2018 0 Comments | Posted in 2016 Rock Star Competition, Playboating, rivers, Whitewater, WW Disciplines
My Summer of 2017 was one I won't forget for a while. The Slave river in the Northwest Territories is one of the most unique and special rivers I've ever had the chance to paddle. The Slave is a very high volume river with the water levels ranging from 2500-7000 cms, at some points the river is approximately 2 km wide. No matter what the water level is there's always a good big wave to surf, such as Rockem Sockem, The Edge, Roller Coaster and many more. Because the river is so big, there are lots of different rapids to run, everything from gentle class II to massive class V, enough rapids that it's pretty much impossible to get bored.
My journey started with a 20+ hour solo drive from Kamloops, British Columbia to Fort Smith in the Northwest Territories of Canada. My Job for the summer was to be the club employee for the Fort Smith Paddling Club where I would teach people of all ages the basics of kayaking and help organise and promote events for the paddle club. I was super fortunate as my employers Leif and Natalie Anderson let me pitch a tent in their backyard which was my new home for the next two months.
I quickly fell in love with the river as I rarely missed a day of paddling. Being able to work on my freestyle progression as well as being able to paddle world class big water everyday was super rad. Paddling on the Slave also allowed us to paddle as late as we wanted to thanks to the 20+ hours of daylight! Lots of nights we would take out as late as 11, and sometimes even 12! Not to mention every evening the summer skies produced some truly majestic sunsets. The wilderness up North was amazing as well, the Slave river is home to the most northern Pelican colony in North America. The Pelican's nest on an island in the middle of a section of rapids called Mountain Portage. Along with Pelicans, other cool wildlife up North consists of Bears, Beavers, and Bison!
I remember this one night in late August, when I saw the northern lights for the first time, all I could think of at the time was "damn this place is something else". The green and purple dancing streaks in the sky lit up the night in a way that I couldn't even imagine. This was the cherry on top of my summer. My time on the Slave was one of the best experiences of my life, and I know that it won't be my last Northern trip! Big thanks to Leif and Natalie for giving me this opportunity, also to Andrew, Hayden and the Voorhees family, Ayden, Quim, Ben, Don and everyone else I met along the way for the good times!

On reading and listening and books in general
It's no secret that most, if not all, of the bloggers here at MGC believe that story is king when it comes to writing. We do our best to write stories that will pull our readers in and send them soaring to new places and times. We want our characters to be real people, not simply be there to fill out some artificial checklist someone in an ivory corporate tower said we had to follow. We aren't anti-message by a long shot. We just think the message should be woven into the story and not be so blatant that it hits the reader of the head over and over and over again. We have encouraged you to try new genres and, I hope, we've introduced you to new authors over the years. Read more

I'm sure by now everyone has heard the news of FFG purchase of the L5R IP from AEG.
With the announcement that FFG will be changing how the game works, the CCG is now history. The game itself will never be the same. That being said, I first want to say a few words about the L5R CCG and its 20 year run.
First of all, I want to thank AEG / FRPG for the 20 years you invested in this IP. I also want to thank every person who ever worked on this IP with FRPG / AEG / WotC. No game that I have played has been more welcoming than L5R has been. No game has ever had the story that I have been attached to like L5R. I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
Now, an opinion from me about this move.
I believe AEG did the right thing by selling L5R to FFG. Fantasy Flight Games has a great history of purchasing IP's from other companies and resurrecting them back into the IP they once were. They have a great track record so far. Let's hope that continues :).
Now something you might not expect me to say: L5R needed a reboot in the card game area.
While I have enjoyed the years that I have played this game and the many changes, the game was losing steam in a lot of areas and it was time for a change. The LCG model fits L5R much better than the CCG model and FFG understood this. AEG didn't seem to want the game to change but FFG convinced them that change needed to be done and they seemed to convince them that FFG could do so.
My understanding about the acquisition was that FFG contacted AEG about purchasing L5R. Now this to me is important as FFG wanted the L5R license.
Now more about FFG.
People may not be aware of this, but the Senior Vice President of marketing at Fantasy Flight (second in command I believe) is Steve Horvath, and he was instrumental in this purchase. Steve was previously Brand Manager for L5R in the 90s when WotC owned L5R, and in fact was the one who worked the deal to sell L5R back to AEG. 15 years later, he is buying it back. Steve is also a long time fan of L5R and was formerly a player who placed in the Top 4 on the Second Day of Thunder.
This tells me that they have an understanding of the IP's history.
Fantasy Flight Games has a lot of things that AEG didn't have. FFG's resources are much larger than AEG could ever have. The sales & marketing at FFG can do so much more with the IP than AEG. Having the Warhammer, Star Wars, Netrunner and A Game of Thrones brands amasses a lot of strength here.
Now, this is the entire IP. FFG could go with a miniatures line (I'm expecting this BTW) as well as a board game line as well as an RPG and the LCG.
Hopefully in the coming months leading to the re-release of L5R under the LCG format, I can continue to gather the information about the game as I once have. I don't plan on leaving the game because of the change, I plan on being there at the release in 2017.
Obviously, the blog will change somewhat over the next month or so to accommodate more than just L5R during the hiatus but this will still be a focal point leading up to the release.
Until then, there is no escape from the tiger!

On April 9, seven students and two professors from the Houghton College department of chemistry attended the Ninth Annual Undergraduate Research Symposium sponsored by the Western New York Section of the American Chemical Society (ACS). The group included Daniel Hammers '17, Jordan Scott '17, Grace Hollenbeck '16, David Tse '16, Michael Hardy '17, Wesley Payette '17, David Frei '16, Dr. John Rowley and Dr. Karen Torraca.
"Having students present their research at a symposium is invaluable in helping students learn to communicate with others about the project and the process of problem-solving," said Torraca. "We were excited to also take a few students who were not presenting posters. These students were able to observe the kinds of research occurring at other schools, and they were also able to attend a keynote lecture from a top-notch professor in chemistry, Dr. M.G. Finn. These symposia are great for helping to inspire and encourage students to complete research while they are at Houghton."
Hosted at Canisius College, the symposium was attended by students and faculty from 13 institutions and featured 44 presentations on widely ranging research topics.
Hollenbeck presented research that she conducted with Rowley, entitled "Convenient Synthesis of Biodegradable Glycopolymers." Hammers and Scott presented research they conducted with Torraca entitled "Palladium Catalyzed Reactions: Furthering the Search for a Greener Oxidation Pathway." The students worked on these research projects last summer as part of the college's Summer Research Institute, a program that brings together motivated physics, chemistry, biology, math and computer science students into a more intense research environment.
Torraca said, "I am always so proud to see our students present research at symposia. They do such a good job of trying to clearly communicate their research in a professional way. I am also excited that so many students were willing to take one of their Saturdays to attend the symposium."
In the chemistry department at Houghton College, experienced Christian faculty members prepare and equip students interested in biochemistry, molecular biology, organic chemistry, physical chemistry and analytical chemistry to define and answer significant questions about our world. Students pursuing a degree in chemistry or biochemistry learn to think critically and apply their knowledge to real-world problems. A degree in biochemistry or chemistry from Houghton College provides opportunities for a variety of fulfilling careers ranging from health professions to industrial research.
