Esau the Edomite
Four times in Genesis 36 Esau is stated to be Edom: verses 1, 7, 19 and 43.
Esau - as the firstborn son - should have been the father of the Israelite nation, but ignored the Abrahamic and despised his birthright by marrying out side of the family lineage, to the grief of both Isaac and Rebecca.
Esau started the Edomite lineage of jews. Esau married wives of the cursed Cain/Kenite/Hittite line founded by Cain, who married a wife who was the result of the mixing of the fallen angels and the beasts as mentioned in Genesis 6.
Esau and his Hittite wives may be where the jew's practice or tradition of tracing their lineage maternally - rather than paternally - originated.
Today, the Edomite jews have usurped the position of the true Israelites. Esau/Edomite/Kazarian jews are claiming to be the Israelites of the OT, when in fact they are the Edomite jews of the NT responsible for the crucifixion of Christ, the Anointed.
However, Yahweh is now bringing to light the history of the dispersed tribes of Israel.
Universalists, duped by years of brainwashing, are vehemently resisting this revelation.
Eventually, the truth will be obvious. Painfully obvious to many.

PS4 Pro 500 Million Limited Edition to Launch in India Soon
The PS4 Pro 500 Million Limited Edition console will be available in India soon. According to multiple retailers speaking to Gadgets 360, Sony will be bringing in the console in the first week of October. The India price for the PS4 Pro 500 Million Limited Edition console is Rs. 52,990. Comparatively, the regular PS4 Pro is Rs. 41,990. This makes the PS4 Pro 500 Million Limited Edition console the most expensive piece of console hardware in India available officially with the Xbox One X MRP being Rs. 48,490 . In the grey market it's been available at a higher price tag of around Rs. 70,000 in Mumbai with prices in Bengaluru going as high as Rs. 90,000.
Much like the name suggests, quantities of this console are limited with a source stating that not more than 20 to 25 units will be available in India. As for where you can buy it, given its limited supply, there's a distinct possibility that it might be restricted to specialist offline game stores rather than online marketplaces like Amazon India and Flipkart. Gadgets 360 has requested Sony India for comment and will update this story if we hear from it.
And while the Rs. 52,990 price tag might seem exorbitant, here's what you get.
PS4 Pro 500 Million Limited Edition – what's in the box
Special translucent collector's box packaging
Translucent dark blue 2TB PS4 Pro with blue power light that illuminates the console
Each console has a commemorative copper plate on its front, with its unique limited edition number etched on
Matching Dualshock 4, its dark blue translucent design complimented by a copper PS symbol
Translucent dark blue vertical stand
Special dark blue PlayStation Camera and matching stand
Amazon Echo Input Goes on Sale in India, Brings Alexa to Your Dumb Speaker for Rs. 2,999
Back in September 2018, Amazon added a suite of new products to its Echo line of devices and among them was the Echo Input, which was scheduled to launch in early 2019 in India. It seems as if Amazon has kept good on its promise as the Echo Input is finally on sale in India, at a price of Rs. 2,999. The device adds Alexa support to any of your existing speakers at home, either through a wired or Bluetooth connection. This lets you stream music from Amazon Prime Music, Saavn and TuneIn and starting today, Hungama and Gaana music streaming services too, with simple voice commands. Apart from Amazon, the Echo Input will also be available from offline retailers such as Croma, Vijay Sales and others.
To recall, the Amazon Echo Input was first introduced in September last year, and at around the same time, US-based e-commerce giant had announced it would be made available in India early next year – that time has come. Amazon had not detailed the Amazon Echo Input price in India back in September, and this is the first we've learned of it.
Amazon Echo Input launch offers
Amazon has tied up with some speaker manufacturers to bundle the Echo Input with certain products. The JBL Go 2 speaker bundle gets you a flat Rs. 1,499 discount where as you can get the Echo Input for free if you buy the newly launched Ultimate Ears Boom 3 or the Bose SoundLink Revolve. You can check out the offers on right side of the page, just below the 'Buy Now' button.
Amazon Echo Input specifications
The Echo Input measures just 12.5mm in thickness and looks a bit like a hockey puck. There are two buttons on the top for switching the microphone off and triggering Alexa, respectively. You also get a four-microphone array on the Input which is said to recognise your voice across a room, even with music playing. There's a single LED light on the top and a 3.5mm headphone socket and a Micro-USB port on the side for connectivity and power.
It also features dual-band 802.11 Wi-Fiac for connecting the device to you home Wi-Fi. Setting up the Echo Input requires the Alexa app, which is available on both Android and iOS. The Echo Input ships with a 5W power adapter, Micro-USB cable, auxiliary cable and a quick start guide.
Novel technology cleans water using bacteria
Researchers, led by one of Indian-origin, have developed a new technology that can clean water twice as fast as commercially available ultrafiltration membranes, an advance that brings hope for countries like India where clean drinking water is a big issue.
According to a team from the Washington University in St. Louis, more than one in 10 people in the world lack basic drinking water access, and by 2025, half of the world's population will be living in water-stressed areas.
The team led by Srikanth Singamaneni, Professor at the varsity, developed an ultrafiltration membrane using graphene oxide and bacterial nanocellulose that they found to be highly efficient, long-lasting and environment-friendly.
The membrane technology purifies water while preventing biofouling, or build up of bacteria and other harmful micro-organisms that reduce the flow of water.
For the study, published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology, they used bacteria to build such filtering membranes.
The Gluconacetobacter hansenii bacteria is a sugary substance that forms cellulose nanofibres when in water.
The team then incorporated graphene oxide (GO) flakes into the bacterial nanocellulose while it was growing, essentially trapping GO in the membrane to make it stable and durable.
They exposed the membrane to E. coli bacteria, then shone light on the membrane's surface.
After being irradiated with light for just three minutes, the E. coli bacteria died. The team determined that the membrane quickly heated to above the 70 degrees Celsius required to deteriorate the cell walls of E. coli bacteria.
While the bacteria are killed, the researchers had a pristine membrane with a high quality of nanocellulose fibres that was able to filter water twice as fast as commercially available ultrafiltration membranes under a high operating pressure.
When they did the same experiment on a membrane made from bacterial nanocellulose without the reduced GO, the E. coli bacteria stayed alive.
While the researchers acknowledge that implementing this process in conventional reverse osmosis systems is taxing, they propose a spiral-wound module system, similar to a roll of towels.
It could be equipped with LEDs or a type of nanogenerator that harnesses mechanical energy from the fluid flow to produce light and heat, which would reduce the overall cost.
If the technique were to be scaled up to a large size, it could benefit many developing countries where clean water is scarce, the researchers noted.
Google loon balloon web service taps board to lift business
Loon, the balloon-borne rural internet service from Google parent Alphabet Inc, has recruited three wireless-industry leaders to help the company's yearslong effort to get the business off the ground. Wireless pioneer and Nextel Partners Inc co-founder Craig McCaw, former Verizon Communications Inc executive Marni Walden, and Ian Small, a former Telefonica SA executive, will serve as Loon's new three-member advisory board. They'll help the fledgeling company sign on partners and expand to new areas.
Loon started as a project inside Google's X research arm to deliver internet access to rural areas. As of last year, it planned to offer service in Kenya. Using antennas held aloft by large balloons 12 miles (20 kilometres) above Earth, well beyond the paths of aeroplanes, Loon can beam coverage over a wide area and relay the signals to ground stations operated by wireless carriers.
When first conceived, Loon was considered a potential threat to wireless carriers, but in recent years the company has wooed established providers as partners. Other companies including Facebook Inc have been working on ways to get more people connected to the internet. Instead of balloons, Facebook has tested solar-powered drones and satellites.
"We quickly realized that as a business with the mission of connecting people everywhere, our path to success is to partner with those who have significant experience connecting people every day," Loon Chief Executive Officer Alastair Westgarth said in a blog post.

First off I have to say I have an alergy to all cored and pitted fruits. It really sucks because at one time I did not have this allergy and I really miss the taste of a fresh juicy apple just off the tree. With that out of my system. My husband and grand daughter humoured me in doing a Photo shoot in our back yard. Below are my favorite pics out of the shoot. Let me know what you think.
This one is a little dark. But I think you get how very happy she is up in the Air.
Have a wonderful weekend internet. I will have some parade pics for you sometime next week.

Homer startles easily. His therapist thinks it may have to do with being the youngest of ten brothers. If someone were to tap Homer on the shoulder to ask him where the cheese shop is, Homer's heart might stop. He lives near a railroad track, and though he has the train schedule memorized, the choo-choo noise makes him scream and tear up. He has written letters to the President of the United States requesting that trains have a universally quieter toot, but the president must be quite busy because he has yet to receive a response. In the meantime he has started watching Hitchcock films in an effort to train himself to startle less. He usually is too frightened to make it past the opening credits, but is proud of his progress thus far.
It has been a great week for instant watches on Netflix! I watched Mary and Max, a claymation about an Australian girl who becomes pen-pals with a man in America who has Aspergers. There is a special place in my heart for claymation. You know so much love and time goes into those and I love that even the tiniest detail has been sculpted by human fingers. Besides the clay, the story is beautiful and sweetly funny---my favorite kind of beautiful. If you have time to watch it, have a hankie ready for the end.
Then, I put on the documentary, A Man Named Pearl, on a whim and ended up really loving it as well. Pearl lives in a teeny town in South Carolina and he taught himself the art of topiary sculpture and turned his yard into this magical garden straight out of Edward Scissorhands. His garden is so magical, and he's just this down-to-earth, regular guy. My favorite part was about how he sculpted a topiary for his local Waffle House, so they let him eat for free whenever he likes. Every morning he gets the "Pearl Special": a single scrambled egg, a spoonful of grits and one piece of buttered toast. Come on Pearl! Eat some waffles, they're free! He is incredible. My mouth hurt after watching it because my jaw dropped so many times.

Nichol, Homer is truly adorable. Perhaps he should start taking valerian - that might help with his nerves. ;)

Homer is really sweet. I love how you love old names. (i.e. Walter). I had an Aunt Drucilla in my family tree and I always wondered what she would look like.
Thanks for the info on both these movies. I also love claymation and know how much is involved in a project like this. I must watch this movie.
As far as Mr. Pearl, if you eat grits, you're ok in my book.

Gus Poyet argued clubs SHOULD be punished with points deductions for fielding ineligible players when he was Brighton boss.
As Sunderland get ready to face fury from relegation rivals for fielding ineligible Ji Dong Won, punished with a fine rather than a points deduction, it can be revealed Poyet held interesting opinions on a similar affair four years ago.
Poyet's Brighton team lost to Hartlepool, who were discovered to have played Gary Liddle, when he should have been serving a two match ban for ten yellow cards.
At the time Poyet raged saying Brighton should be awarded the points even though it, like in Sunderland's case, it was a paperwork error rather than cheating.
The then-Brighton manager led the charge for Hartlepool to be handed a points deduction, and they were eventually docked three points by the Football League, as well as being fined £3.5k by the FA.
Poyet said at the time in April 2010: "It does not matter if they did it with intention or not, the only decision they can make in this instance - and I would say the same if my team were the guilty party - is to give the three points to the opposition.
"It was not a case of cheating, but they made a mistake and that player should not have been on the pitch so the three points should go to the opposition.
"They cannot just deduct the points from Hartlepool. For the sake of fair competition we should be awarded them."
Sunderland won one point against Southampton with Ji, who did not have international clearance, played.
Under Poyet's logic while at Brighton Sunderland would lose that point. Instead the Premier League decided to secretly fine Sunderland in December, with details only emerging yesterday.
Ji was fielded against Fulham, Southampton, Crystal Palace and Manchester United between August and October before Poyet took charge.
The error was discovered by Sunderland in October and they were handed a behind the scenes six figure fine in December. But now the controversy has emerged relegation rivals could demand a tougher punishment, and ask why points were not deducted.
Sunderland were only handed a fine because Ji WAS registered with the Premier League and announced in their official 25 man squad. International clearance was not transferred back to the club after he rejoined after a season on loan to German club Augsburg.
Poyet will hold his pre match press conference this afternoon.

Chapter 108-112 Summary
Cross goes room by room letting the girls out and hoping each time to find Naomi behind one of the doors. He cannot help himself from crying when he finds her. She knew he was going to save her. He realizes now that he had thought she was dead, but was just too stubborn to admit it. Cross' reunion with Naomi is disturbed by a loud scream from down the hall. The scream for help came from Sampson. Running out into the hall, Cross sees two men in masks standing over Sampson. He immediately fires a shot and clips the taller one in the shoulder. They have sunk a knife or ice pick into Sampson's back. As Cross fires another shot, the lights suddenly go out and loud rock music blares from a sound system. Cross works his way up the...

Paint Thickness Makes a Difference
Today I just want to quickly go through something with you guys on paint viscosity, the proper temperatures to store it at, and also how temperature affects the paint. We send it out of our shop in Georgia ready to spray. Unfortunately, the warmer the paint gets, the thinner it gets. We actually can this for the thinnest possible case scenario, but in the winter time, and I know it's starting to get winter where some of you guys are right now, the paint will start to thicken up slightly. This is just due to the structure of the paint. It just gradually tends to pull in on itself.
Mixing Paint For a Spray Gun
I want to show you guys what you need to look for when you're opening your can of paint, and getting ready to spray. Also, bear in mind, throughout the course of a couple of months, while you guys are opening these cans up, and you're painting, and then pouring it back in, the reducers actually evaporate off into the air, which actually thickens the paint up naturally anyway. It's always a good idea to have some lacquer thinner, or urethane reducer on hand, so that you can just add a bit to the can, just to get it to the right spraying consistency.
What I've got here, this is a thick version of the red that we use. You can see when it comes off, it's about the consistency of a cream. It's kind of thick. It coats very, very heavy on the mix stick. This is one, which is the proper consistency. We like to say it needs to be somewhere around the consistency of skimmed milk. You can see how it runs off much, much finer. If I hold them together, you can see, the one on your right, the thin one, is actually dripping, where the one on the right, your left, is actually a much thicker drip, and in fact, a stream when I first bring it out. You can see the difference. You can see how it coats. You can see the thin one is already starting to dry on the stick. This thicker one is just still very, very glossy.
This will, of course, help when you're painting. With it at the right consistency, the skimmed milk consistency, you will find that the solvents will evaporate much faster off the part, and the part will dry in basically 5 to 10 minutes in between coats. As it goes on really thick, if it's cold, or if the can has been opened and closed a lot, that's going to slow down your drying time. It's going to also make you spray too much paint on, because it's landing in a much heavier density.
That's All There is To Mixing Paint For a Spray Gun
That's it. Just something to remember, as we're coming up to the winter now. Just make sure that when you pour it out, you get familiar with what it looks like coming out of the can, and into the gun. Once it's in the gun, if you still think it's a bit too thick, just add a splash of reducer at a time, until it gets down to the skimmed milk consistency. You'll find that your painting is going to be a lot more successful. That's it. Jason at ohwpaint.com, and we will see you next time.

No one's going to confuse some 350 pound fat-ass basement dwelling neckbeard with Ronnie Coleman.

Some of my long time FB friends may recall that my Great Uncle Lawson "Loss" Hart was the federal marshall who tracked down, outdrew, shot and killed the outlaw --Bill Dalton of the infamous 'Dalton Gang'. (depicted right)I just found some more interesting stories and information about my Great Grandfather --Timothy James Hart.
Timothy James Hart is known to have spent some time in California (L.A. area). Given the fact that several "Hart" relations of mine continued westward to Los Angeles, I am now inclined to believe that I may be related to the movie star William S. Hart whose hand prints may be seen in concrete at Graumann's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. So far, it would appear that the "Harts" were rancher/pioneers, law enforcers, veterans of the Civil War, and movie stars/producers.

Get there quick before the developers remove it.
Posted By Oliver VanDervoort | On 29th, Mar. 2016 Under News
While we patiently wait for some new content to be placed in The Division, and believe its coming soon there are a couple of new ways we can stock up on rather high end gear thanks to a new loot farm that has popped up in the game. As is the case when talking about these loot farms, its a safe bet it isn't going to be around all that long.
As a general rule, once the developers get to know what areas of the game allow the players to get items they weren't supposed to get so easily, they shut them down … for good. Since The Division has been on store shelves, two such Loot Farms had already been pointed out and this new one that just popped up is actually the third. So should you have the ability to take advantage, you should do so quickly before Ubisoft realizes what's going on and figures out a way to shutter it.
YouTube user MarcoStyle is the one that put a new video together which walks The Division players through the steps in order to take advantage of this Loot Farm. In order to have any shot at getting the cream of the crop gear that can be farmed in this location, players need to play Russian Consulate daily mission. They also need to be level 30 and they need to find three other level 30 agents who are willing to play the mission with them. That is the very start of how to go about hitting this Loot Farm in The Division. To see the step by step instructions check out the video below.

This is my second foray into Australian soccer literature, the first having been less than impressive. The good news is that the now 10 year old 'Sheilas, Wogs and Poofters' by the late Johnny Warren is far better, the bad news is that Warren fell into the standard traps of all passionate Australian soccer figures.
Warren had an amazing playing career for someone growing up in Australian during the 1950's where soccer was third or fourth on the list of priorities for most young men (particularly Anglo ones such as Warren). As is fairly portrayed by Warren's title, a fair amount of tasteless stigma was also labelled at those playing the game.
Given the options available to Warren he managed to forge a club and international career that deserves celebration. Representing the St George (Budapest) club with great distinction Warren no doubt had to prove himself able to transcend ethnic boundaries; 40 odd matches for Australia (including the 1974 World Cup) showed much dedication at a time when it was hardly a glamourous lifestyle.
The matches the Australian team of the late 1960's and early 1970's deserve legendary status, not just for the achievements of the team but for the scenarios in which they played. The Friendly Nations cup played as an olive branch to the Vietnamese people by the Western anti-communist forces is an amazing tale for the conditions (warfare) that the tournament was played within. As well Warren eulogises on some of his contemporaries who should receive more credit for their skills by those who believe that legendary status in Australian soccer began with Viduka and Kewell et al.
For the non devoted supporter of soccer in Australia there are two general criticisms that can be labelled at the sport in this country. Number one is that it is constantly racked with in fighting and controversy. Number two is that the sport needs to learn to stand on its own two feet and fight for its place in the landscape; rather it constantly complains about the level of media coverage afforded Australian Football or Rugby League over itself. Warren in the last third of the book spirals violently into into these two criticisms and never recovers. If those in charge of the sport believe it is the best sport then they need to rise above arguing internally or complaining about the competition and simply produce a product that attracts the masses.
Recommend this book for a read and a good summary history of the sport in Australia and an interesting life story that is at the same time stereotypically Australian, but also very different from your usual sporting heroes. Tennis Balls.

Windows Phone 8.1 and Lumia 630 are destined to be the talk of the town by this time next week. Microsoft and Nokia are ready to bring the goods at the BUILD 2014 event in San Francisco.
But before that, some new information is available on both.
Thanks to a new video that has popped up in China, the Windows Phone 8.1 operating system is shown running on, what is believed to be, a Nokia Lumia 630 smartphone. While the quality of the clip could be a bit (okay, a lot) better, it does show off some of the new features of the mobile OS.
You can watch this cinematic delight below:
One of the first things you will notice is that the upcoming smartphone is packing the new build of Windows Phone 8.1, as is evident from the soft keys, as opposed to dedicated hardware buttons.
Some of the previously rumored features of the new OS are also highlighted.
These include the Action Center, a shiny new Podcast app to go with a novel little FM Radio application extracted from the Music Hub. Xbox Video and Music apps are also shown in Windows Phone 8.1, separately, as they were a single app before.
You can also see the new Tab section and support for private navigation in Internet Explorer.
Additionally, a new default Photos app is available that includes features like All, Album and Favorites, each on separate panels. The refreshed layout of the stock Camera app is also briefly glimpsed.

SOURCE: The Palm Beach Pops
March 11, 2016 08:00 ET
Nonprofit to Award Scholarships to Promising Music Students and Inaugural Maestro Bob Lappin Legacy Grant to Exceptional Young Pianist or Conductor
WEST PALM BEACH, FL--(Marketwired - March 11, 2016) - The Palm Beach Pops is launching the Legacy Foundation of Palm Beach County, an extension of the nonprofit organization's existing outreach programs that have taught nearly 100,000 music students in the county.
Through the Legacy Foundation, students 18 and under who show great promise and talent will have the opportunity to apply for scholarships of up to $5,000. Beginning April 1, the foundation will be accepting applications for the first 10 scholarships. Scholarship funds can be used for instruments, lessons, music school tuition or other relevant needs. Funds will be paid directly to the institution, teacher or vendor.
Over the years, The Palm Beach Pops founder Maestro Bob Lappin took local performers under his tutelage, inviting them to showcase their talents during live performances. An example is vocalist Cara Young, a Wellington native and musical theatre major at Florida State University. Through the Pops, Young had the opportunity to sing on stage with Tony Award-winning Broadway actress, singer and dancer Donna McKechnie and singer Jodi Benson, who is best known for providing the speaking and singing voice of Princess Ariel in Disney's The Little Mermaid.
"I am so grateful to the Lappin family, The Palm Beach Pops and donors for the opportunities they have given me," said Young. "Advancing music and the cultural arts is close to their hearts. I am thrilled the new foundation will support other young students who will be impacted the same way I was."
Another opportunity the Legacy Foundation will provide is through the inaugural Maestro Bob Lappin Legacy Grant. The grant of up to $10,000 will be awarded to an individual under the age of 30 who shows exceptional proficiency in piano or a significant interest in conducting. Naming opportunities for additional scholarships are available for foundation donors.
"Our cultural community needs help," said Palm Beach Pops President and Executive Director Jon Lappin. "Through the Legacy Foundation, The Palm Beach Pops is fighting the root of cultural erosion. If we can reach a new generation of promising talent and supporters, we can turn this around."
Scholarship applications will be available on April 1 at www.palmbeachpops.org. The deadline to apply is April 30. The foundation will announce recipients on June 30.
Beyond scholarships and grants, the foundation will support the county's cultural community in a variety of ways, including -- but not limited to -- providing musical instruments, music lessons, arts programs and general financial contributions to individuals, charities, schools and 501 c(3) organizations.
The Palm Beach Pops is calling on past, present and new supporters of Palm Beach County's cultural arts community to contribute to the Legacy Foundation of Palm Beach County.
"This is about keeping current and future musicians working," said Lappin. "We need the support of the cultural community and anyone willing to join the cause."
To request more information about the foundation, email email@example.com.
About The Palm Beach Pops and Legacy Foundation of Palm Beach County:
Founded in 1991 by the late Music Director and Conductor Bob Lappin, The Palm Beach Pops quickly distinguished itself as a world-class pops orchestra, dedicated to preserving the American Songbook. Additionally, The Palm Beach Pops has a long history of serving the children in its community by presenting quality music education programs. Lappin's cultural impact will live on through the Legacy Foundation of Palm Beach County, led by his son Jon Lappin. The Palm Beach Pops orchestra will continue to perform at benefits and is available for hire.

Almost every day ...
THE EDITOR, Sir:
Almost every day, someone is stabbed to death in Jamaica: almost every day, a woman is slaughtered by a hooligan in Jamaica: almost every day, someone's throat is slashed by a monster in Jamaica. Wow! What a violent country!
Is there another Caribbean country like Jamaica, where more than 1,000 people are being slaughtered in a year? Is there another place like Jamaica, where so many people are being butchered by knives and machetes? Is there another small island, like Jamaica, with such a small population, where the crime rate is so high? I don't believe so!
Why has Jamaica, with the most churches per square mile in the Caribbean, become such a violent country, one of the most fearful and dangerous countries to live in?
Could it be because there is a lack of love, or because we don't truly love one another, the way God told us or expects us to love one another?

Critical Linking: The Most Read Stories, November 12 – 17, 2012
Here are the most read stories from the last week in Critical Linking…
This really isn't a store for readers. The traditional purpose of a bookstore is as a place to buy a piece of printed culture. We sell printed artifacts that contain text – not that you can't read these books – but people don't come here to buy books to read, they come here to buy books to own.
And they can buy those books from a vending machine. How cool is that?
But I would quit while you're ahead. Really, it's an awful field. Just torture. Awful. You write and write, and you have to throw almost all of it away because it's not any good. I would say just stop now. You don't want to do this to yourself. That's my advice to you
Seems that Philip Roth wasn't the man to see if you were in need of a pep-talk.
At the end of June, Amazon's Kindle family of reading devices was used to read e-books by 55% of e-book buyers.
Apple devices account for 15% and Nooks for 14%. This is a long race, but the green giant is way out in front.
Should we be free to burn Korans, mock the passionately held religions of others? Maybe we should – but should we also be surprised when the believers we have offended respond in fury? I couldn't answer that question at the time and, with all good will, I still can't. But I am a little proud, in retrospect, that I spoke against the easy trend, reckoning with the wrath of outraged western intellectuals, and suffering it in all its righteous glory. And if I met Salman tomorrow? I would warmly shake the hand of a brilliant fellow writer.

Today's layout and process video are food related... In my family, everything is food related. We live to eat and LOVE to eat even more! This is a photo of my daughter enjoying an Italian food, Arancini. Translated, it means "little orange". They get this name from the size and colour they take on after being fried. They're delicious! And, now, I'm hungry.... :P
The background paper I used is from Simple Stories, I {heart} Summer, Feel the breeze. Just love all those cute clouds! I also used some paper to layer from Pink Paislee, Pen Pals, First Class and Crate Paper, Kiss Kiss, Falling for You.
The glitter cardstock is from AC and it's just called Gold Glitter Cardstock. The entire layout is then matted with a mauve-y coloured, metallic cardstock. Pretty sure it's from Bazzil.
*** Please note that I cropped out the mauve backing on the layout in the photo because it wasn't photographing properly.
I used white foam Thickers in two fonts on this layout: Daiquiri and Rockabye. I also used OA Mini Market Stickers in Yellow and Black for my secondary title. and Recollections alpha stickers for the "of" in my main title.
I used chipboard from MME the Now and Then Dorothy collection in Celebrate and also elements from the Kate & Co., Cambridge Court.
You'll also find a couple of stickers from CP's Maggie Holmes collection on there.
Thanks for stopping by today!

What do they mean???
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
What do they mean???
is probably mr green (in the emoticons)
says 'eyeroll' in the emoticons at the top of this reply box
I think maybe?? they print out the typing keys that comprise the emoticon if the emoticon doesn't show??? Guessing.
Thanks Postal Packin' Mama, that makes sense. BTW, I've spent the last 2 days absolutely drooling over your reversible queen scrap quilt!!!! amazing.
You're welcome. And thank you very much for your kind comments on my reversible scrap quilt. Everyone's input is appreciated.
Making it reversible used up twice as many scraps and only takes up the space of one quilt in the closet. To change to a different quilt, just flip it over
Last edited by postal packin' mama; 07-09-2012 at 09:58 PM.
don't pm! i'd like to see it, too!
i love using the emoticons! i use when i'm jealous, or feeling sick, so it depends on the context. i never use the eye roll because i don't say bad things about dh on the qb. lol i was using to mean i was joking, but others took it as embarrassed. i just like the cheeks! so now i use the for joking.

Classic Video: Dufus Shows Up To Cleveland Indians Game Wearing LeBron Jersey, Gets Kicked Out
Why are some people just so unbelievably douchey and obnoxious that they think stunts like this are a good idea.
Cleveland isn't exactly a city that has a lot to be excited about, especially when it comes to sports. And in case you live in a tree, or instinctively cover your ears and sing out of pitch everytime a sports news break comes on, LeBron James recently left the city in what will likely be considered the greatest sports star jilting of all time. Not only did he decide to leave Cleveland for brighter pastures in Miami, essentially relegating the potential championship contender to the bottom rung of the Eastern Conference, but he did it on an unprecedented, hourlong, hunk-of-s television special that pretty much blindsided Cleveland fans.
Needless to say, the King is a sore subject in the town of Cleveland.
So this absolute a-hole who you can witness in the video below decides to show up to a Cleveland Indians/ Yankees game wearing a LeBron # 6 Miami Heat jersey. I could understand showing up to the game in a Yankees jersey, if that's your team. I could also understand showing up to a Cavs/Heat game next year in your Miami LeBron jersey, if Miami's your team or LeBron's still your guy (though you'll still likely get heckled).But showing up to a baseball game that has nothing to do with LeBron, the Heat or basketball just makes you look like the world's biggest stooge. I mean even showing up to any baseball game decked out in basketball gear makes you look like a rube, but to do it this way is just uncalled for.
And guess what? The fans agreed with that assessment. Even guys wearing Yankees gear were heckling this d-bag. And pretty much the entire section gave him the booing he deserved. According to the story, some guy spilled beer on him, fans wouldn't let him back to his seat, and the tone around him got more and more angry until they escorted him out (probably for his own safety).
Ten bucks says the dopey blond in red-and-blue shinguards with him doesn't even realize what all the commotion is about.
Pretty poor quality video, but it tells the amusing tale nicely. At least Yankees and Cleveland fans can bond over something.
Embedding was disabled on part two, but you can see him get the boot here.

This writer and Cleveland fans are sad. Since when is it okay to attack women and throw beer on people over their attire? I though this was a free country? That's why Cleveland will always the crappiest city in the US beating out Detroit. Good Luck on winning that title before Miami, low-lives. The Marlins will win another one before any of the Cleveland teams do.

Now that my brother has displayed how simple his army is to paint I'll show both him and you how easy it can be to base models.
What's basing?? I hear you cry
Well basing is when you apply some sort ground to the base of your model. It use to be this complicated faff involving PVA glue and sand or fake grass, and by the end your models looked worse then if you just left them standing on nothing.
Although this has changed for the better you can now buy base paint's which look good on your models base's. I personally use the mud coloured one.
So it's super simple, don't believe me? you just simply paint it on.
I tend to put a bit on the feet as I believe it adds a bit of authenticity to the mud.
Super easy right.

I have been doing a bit of research tonight and thought I would post my findings. The basic question I was wondering is: If I am doing woodworking primarily as a hobby, but I sell some of my stuff, do I have to declare that as income for tax purposes?
The answer, unsurprisingly, is yes. You have to file a 1099-MISC form listing this income. The good news is, you can also file deductions for materials and equipment up to the amount of income, with the net result of you have 0 as a declared income from your hobby.
Now, why would anyone bother with this? First of all, it is unlawful not to. Secondly, by showing that you are involved with this has a hobby, if you at some point in the future decide to do so as a business, the IRS is much more likely to let you get away with a loss because you can show that you had reasonable expectation to make a profit.
Where the IRS gets real sticky is using expenses from a hobby to offset income from another source. Say I make 40K a year at my regular job. I cannot claim the money I spent on a new table saw as a deduction from that income, unless I can show that my woodworking is a legitimate business. There are several things the IRS wants to see to assume a legitimate business, and past history is one of them. Please check out IRS document 535 under Deducting For Business->Not for Profit Activities for more detail.

The Popularity of Apple's "I'm a Mac, and I'm a PC" ad campaign recently reminded me of a web page created by Ania Mitros that I came across when I was researching building a terrarium. I was pretty impressed with her creativity because I was planning on building one in an aquarium and hadn't considered housing one inside of something other than the traditional enclosures like a glass bottle or aquarium.
A few days ago I contacted her and asked if she wouldn't mind answering a couple of questions about her experience building this terrarium for carnivorous plants. She was gracious enough to find some time to respond and below I'll copy/paste our e-mail exchange.
Were you interested in gardening before you started the terrarium?
"Neither before nor after the Mac have I considered myself a gardener. I enjoy having plants around and in fact have a ponytail palm that's been with me since 6th grade, about 19 years. I started the terrarium on a whim, or more precisely, on two whims. I bought the Mac at a garage sale with thoughts of fish tanks. When I thought more deeply about the details of building one, I found myself concerned that if the tank leaked,I'd have myself a little flood. Near where I lived was a quirky little shop that specialized in carnivorous plants,succulents,and bright lamps to cheer up Seattlites during the long winters (although some of my friends commented on how well those lights would work for illicit marijuana plants). I put the two ideas together and built a terrarium. The owner of the Indoor Sun Shoppe sold me special soil and advised me to use distilled water or rain water,since the carnivorous plants prefer acidic soil."
Did any of your plants fail?
"Only now that you asked me did I realize that I did lose one plant! The Drosera capensis is nowhere to be seen! On the other hand, I also have some plants that I didn't when I started. There are a lot of little green grass-like plants and what I think is moss as ground cover. It all appeared on its own."
(MBT Note: It's not uncommon for "new plants" to appear in your terrariums. Sometimes spores or seeds will awaken that have been dormant in your substrate. I've read of mosses and ferns sprouting from the coconut sheets that some people use as backgrounds in aquariums.)
"I had one episode when I dried out the plants. I went away on a three week vacation and figured that if I put the terrarium in a larger tub of water and covered it, the humidity would be enough. It wasn't. The little circular sundew, Drosera spatulata, was particularly unhappy and shrunk a lot. After I returned from my trip and started keeping the terrarium properly moist, it grew back and multiplied. I now have several of those sundews, although none quite as big as the original plant. They grow slowly."
Did you see any one particular plant really thrive?
"I used to have only a single plant bulb (10W, I think). A few months ago, I added a second bulb and saw a big difference. The taller sundew Drosera dichotoma giant, isn't growing as tall anymore, as if it didn't have to try so hard to reach the light. The venus flytrap and pitcher plant have both turned a darker redder color. Usually the flowers grow up up up towards the light and eventually burn themselves to blackness on the bulb, unless I detour them to grow out of the front of the Mac through where the screen used to be."
What kind of reaction did you get from people who saw your terrarium?
"I keep the Mac in my cubicle at work. Most people comment on it when they first walk into my cube. Many ask what's in there. Some are very surprised when I tell them. Most ask how often I feed the plants (never, and they're lucky if they catch one or two flies per year). One man spent 5 minutes telling me about his plants and the local carniverous plant club and when they meet...he was very excited."
I'd like to thank Ania for taking a few moments out of her schedule to answer these questions about her carnivorous plant terrarium. If you're looking for a project to pass the cold winter days consider doing something like she did. Visit Ania's web page to see more info on the Mac she turned into a terrarium and see photos of the carnivorous plants she chose. If you don't have a lot of space but would like to garden something like this would be a great starter project.
If you're not familiar with the ad campaign from Apple that I mentioned above you can see one of the commercials on YouTube.

"I'm a Mac, I'm a PC, I'm a Terrarium!"
The Popularity of Apple's "I'm a Mac, and I'm a PC" ad campaign recently reminded me of a web page created by Ania Mitros that I came across when I was researching building a terrarium. I was pretty impressed with her creativity because I was planning on building one in an aquarium and hadn't considered housing one inside of something other than the traditional enclosures like a glass bottle or aquarium.

Oh wow! That's pretty neat! I don't have what it takes to get that creative. I remember catching "Caroline in the City" one night and I saw how she had that tv-aquarium in her living room. I was really fond of the idea after but I would never make one.
But fear not, I do have venus fly trap (at least, what's left of it after the squirrels mauled it) and a purple pitcher plant.

Oh wow did you just bring back a memory. I had totally forgotten about that tv set/aquarium.
Yeah Ania did a really cool job and I've been looking for one of those Macs that were really popular a few years ago. I'm particularly drooling over the possibility of finding one of the see through models.
LOL, I just saw that you registered so you could comment on blogger. Take it a step further and start your own blog about whatever you like.

Aw, heck, I wouldn't know what to post about. I guess a random post here and there about my gardening hobby might be helpful enough. hehe.

You could always do a blog devoted to those Jade plants you like. I get a lot of visits to my blog from people searching for information on them.
I haven't seen a blog yet devoted to them.

|"The Perfect Cocktail"
| First aired:
May 2, 2011
| Director:
Pamela Fryman
| Writer:
Joe Kelly
|Barney's Blog
When Marshall and Barney argue over the destruction of the Arcadian Hotel, Robin and Lily try to mix the right combination of cocktails that will force them to make up. Meanwhile, Ted plans a romantic weekend away with Zoey.
Future Ted narrates that when Marshall left GNB to work for an environmental agency, Arthur Hobbs (his boss at GNB) was very supportive and offered to be a reference. However, the job interview did not go well because Arthur has been lying about him behind his back. Marshall tries to expose Arthur, but is told to leave before he could.
Meanwhile at MacLaren's Pub, Barney hands envelopes to the rest of the gang, inviting them to the destruction of the Arcadian to make way for the new GNB headquarters that Ted is designing. Lily asks Ted if it's tough dating Zoey, considering she's trying to stop the project and save the Arcadian. Ted replies that it was until they decided to just ignore it and never talk about it.
Zoey and Marshall soon enter MacLaren's and Zoey reveals that Marshall has joined her to save the Arcadian in order to get back at GNB for screwing his job interviews over.
Barney reacts badly to this news, seeing it as a betrayal considering he got Marshall a job and he is the head of the new GNB headquarters project. The two get into an escalating prank war for weeks, with Marshall ruining Barney's hook-ups and Barney peeing on Marshall's stuff (even his own jacket) and showing him pictures of it. When their fighting results in the whole gang getting banned from the bar, Lily and Robin decide to find a way to get them to make up, agreeing that they will have to get them drunk enough. They discuss the various effects different drinks have on the gang while trying to decide which one will get Marshall and Barney to end their quarrel.
Meanwhile, Ted and Zoey are going away on a romantic weekend and on their drive to Martha's Vineyard, Ted blurts out that Zoey and her obsession with the Arcadian is ruining his life. Ted argues that it is an old, run down building while Zoey believes it is a beautiful landmark. To settle the argument, the two return to New York to spend their romantic weekend away in a run-down room inside the Arcadian. Ted agrees that if Zoey can spend a full night in the Arcadian and still believe it's beautiful, he will join her side.
Although it's clear how neglected the building is, Zoey still claims the building is magnificent. Ted asks her for the real reason she wants to save the Arcadian, and Zoey reveals that she once lived there with her family and doesn't want to lose all those good memories. When the infamous Cockamouse and its babies make an appearance, they get spooked out of the room, but still share pleasant feelings for the place.
Lily and Robin finally get Marshall and Barney together out at a club, and begin experimenting on them with different drinks to get them to make up. The girls eventually lose track of them before finding them at MacLaren's, having stopped fighting; Carl lifts their ban, and reveals that he gave them the right drink: beer.
However, when they wake up at the apartment the next morning, they continue fighting, and Lily and Robin realize that they had too many drinks, blacked out, and now can't remember reconciling. Things get even more complicated when Ted and Zoey enter, and Ted reveals that he has joined Zoey's crusade to save the Arcadian, forcing Robin and Lily to give up on fixing the problem.
- The Scorpion and the Toad shows tequila's effect on Lily, Ted, and Robin. Ted said that three shots of tequila will make Lily tell the truth about anything.
- Ted claims that Bourbon makes him weirdly good at beat-boxing. In Return of the Shirt, Ted takes a sip of Bourbon and discovers that he likes it, having previously thought he didn't.
- The gang previously encountered the Cockamouse in Matchmaker.
- Ted compares Zoey to the Internet swindlers who charged Marshall $300 for a lock of "Sasquatch fur". Marshall's obsession with the supernatural, particularly mythical creatures, has been referenced numerous times, as seen in Matchmaker, Columns, and Cleaning House.
- When Lily suggests getting the guys drunk on martinis, Robin refuses because Lily always tries to make out with her when she drinks them, an example of Lily's bisexuality.
- Barney's pranks on Marshall are similar to the ones he and Clark Butterfield play on each other in Milk.
- Robin mentions that Barney "reaches a point of sad clarity" when he drinks red wine, once somberly accepting that he is a "B+" and not an "A". In Aldrin Justice, Barney tries to get Marshall a better grade by sleeping with his law professor, and the best he can do is a B+.
- Robin says "Dance my puppets, dance!", which Barney previously said in Columns.
- Lily mentions finding it fun to interfere in people's lives. Barney calls her a diabolical mastermind in The Three Days Rule, and Ted discovers that she took it upon herself to sabotage seven of his past relationships in The Front Porch.
- Marshall tells a girl that she will be Barney's 250th, before Barney corrects him by saying that she will be his 283rd. Barney has slept with at least 200 women, as seen in Right Place, Right Time, and has a fixation with the number 83, as Ted points out in Brunch.
- Marshall smokes a cigarette while drunk on tequila at MacLaren's. Future Ted reveals in Last Cigarette Ever that, while they all quit smoking for a while, they only really quit many years later, Marshall specifically doing so the day his son was born in The Magician's Code - Part One.
- Barney calls Ted "Teddy Westside", a nickname Ted gave himself in Rabbit or Duck.
- According to Robin, Barney turns into Richard Dawson when he gets drunk on peppermint schnapps. In Unpause, Future Ted lists Barney's different levels of drunk, including "Richard Dawson drunk". Also, Barney being weirdly honest while drunk on red wine is similar to his "truth serum drunk" level, which Ted and Robin discover in that episode.
- Marshall quit his job at GNB in The Exploding Meatball Sub.

Memorable Quotes
|Future Ted:
|Kids, don't drink tequila.
|Can you get STD's from the ghost of a prostitute?
|Show me chicken wings!
|We need to get these bitches drunk!
|Excuse me waitress? I'll have a mojito and you'll have a no seat ho!
|The stink eye walk by? Oh, hell no! I hope this drink isn't teething because it's about to get nursed.
|It's the cockamouse!
|Half cockroach, half mouse. It must have moved here after our apartment. Oh look, it had babies!
|You win, let's get out of here.
|I only say that because it would be so stupid if we did. So stupid.

- Ted brings up the end of the Oprah Winfrey Show and Lily thinks Marshall and Barney should reconcile "like they do on Oprah." Lily and Robin first brought up this possibility at the beginning of the episode.
- On planning the Arcadian's demolition, Barney is thinking whether to train a coyote to press the Acme dynamite plunger or hotwire Eddie Van Halen's guitar as the detonator upon hitting a high note.

Majorca's government promised today to do "whatever necessary" to ensure the shocking sex scenes involving a teenage Irish tourist never happen again.
Balearics government spokesman Nuria Riera said politicians on the island were "united" in their determination to stamp out sordid practices of its kind.
An 21-year-old Irish tourist was filmed performing a sex act on 24 men during a sex game at Alex's Bar in Magaluf and the footage put on the internet.
She was said to have agreed to the dare for a cheap bottle of cava, although one reveller claimed afterwards she was told she would win a holiday for taking part - only to find out her prize was a cocktail called 'Holiday.'
Mrs Riera said the boozy antics of those involved had left her "speechless."
She said: "This sort of behaviour cannot be tolerated. It gives the Balearic Islands and women a terrible image.
"We regard it as outrageous and we have to stop it whichever way we can."
Most who go to Magaluf do so for the combination of sun, sex, drugs and cheap alcohol on offer and holidaymakers dub the resort Shagaluf.
But in a surprisingly strongly-worded attack, the spokesman claimed part of the problem was that some of the revellers were educationally inadequate.
She said government officials needed to work with source markets because they faced a "problem of education."
She added: "There are people who come with certain types of behaviour or educational patterns that needed to be fought against in the source country as well."
Competition among promoters is fierce and sex games are often encouraged as a way of enticing more punters.
But one Magaluf promoter said the video had caused "shock" around the holiday island.
"I've been here for 15 years and never seen anything like that. Even for Magaluf it's particularly OTT," he said.
The local mayor Manuel Onieva has ordered a police investigation into so-called 'mamading' bars in his municipality.
He told the Mallorcan Daily he "completely rejects" the activities and has warned the bars face closure if they are found to have broken the law.

According to South Orange police, "upon arrival officers discovered that a vehicle (2012 Nissan) traveling east on West Montrose Avenue and operated by a 55-year-old female appeared to have exited the roadway at the crest of the hill and upon doing so struck a pedestrian that was observed to be walking on the sidewalk."

Anyone having information related to this incident is encouraged to contact Det. Lt, Brian McGuire at (973) 763-3000 x 7788.

One of the things that have occupied me lately was preparing to "teach" a 90-minute class at Augusburg College on "liturgical spirituality." A friend teaches courses on spirituality -- Brad Holt, who has just released the second edition of his book, Thirsty for God: A Brief History of Christian Spirituality, which you can check out here. Since liturgy is my first love in theology, for a myriad of reasons, that was a real kick. I was required to summarize what I mean by "liturgical," to outline the strengths of a liturgical worship "style," and to show how that carries over into a set of personal spiritual and devotional practices. My friend Daniel noted that I probably didn't even notes for that, and I responded that I had to script the blessed thing or I never would have gotten to the point. (I'm not the world's most organized thinker, and I am easily distracted.)
So that took me away from blogging for a time.
I'm also studying Dietrich Bonhoeffer. I can't get around to saying what I find so wonderful about his book Discipleship, although if you check out the blog for the group of us who meet regularly for theological discussion, you'll see some of my thoughts, and also some really fine commentary from people who live a little too far away to drive into South Minneapolis for the discussions. In addition, I am taking a five-week course at Luther Sem on Bonhoeffer's life and theology.
And, of course it's now Holy Week. I always try to clean my spiritual house during Holy Week, taking on a more serious discipline that I practice during the rest of the year.
The upshot is that I'll be back soon with some questions. I find it really necessary to get a better handle on the Lutheran doctrine of the two kingdoms. I'm not sure I can subscribe that the way it is usually presented. It seems way too dualistic either for my taste or for my understanding of Luther. But that latter problem may be the result of reading too much Hauerwas and evangelical Christians.
For now, and with some blushing, I wish you a Blessed Pasch by posting a Great Thanksgiving (Eucharistic Prayer) that I composed a few years ago for use at the Easter Vigil of my parish, Mount Olive. I am honored that it was used last year again and has been requested for this year's.
I'm not satisfied with it, so every year a tinker with it, but I have not altered much of consequence -- perhaps this year I'll get around to a serious edit.
Anyway, if you have comments either good or bad, about what works or what doesn't and could be improved, I'd welcome them. (If it looks weird, I apologize. The text didn't import as smoothly as I hoped: I composed it in sense lines with lots of indents, and that all disappeared, and strange little commands that I didn't want appeared in their place.)
It is our duty and delight
always and everywhere to glorify you, Lord God Almighty,
and to glory in your endless mercy.
Before all time,
you spoke into silence
and called into being
all that exits.
Out of chaos you brought order;
into darkness, you cast light;
out of barrenness you brought forth fruit and fertility;
and out of the dust of your earth
you brought forth sons and daughters
to have and to hold,
to love and to lead,
asking only that we take our place
among your mighty creatures
as the crown of your creation.
When humanity rebelled and sought to go our own way,
you patiently disciplined us
and recalled us to our rightful place
in communion with you
and in service to your creation.
You raised up Israel,
sign and witness of your gracious intent.
Despite our dull eyes, dead ears, and disloyal hearts,
you continually called to us
by prophets and preachers,
in signs and wonders,
through exile and restoration.
At last, in the fullness of times,
you incarnated your Son in our flesh
and set him in our midst
to seek and to save all who are lost,
to speak and to show your love,
to promise and to plant your final kingdom.
It was He,
born of Mary and cared for by Joseph,
pointed to by John,
and followed by The Twelve,
who taught and fed multitudes,
received sinners and lepers,
healed the sick and raised the dead,
and opened his arms to suffering and death --
all in order to defeat death
and to put an end to sin.
It was He
whom you raised from death
to vindicate your love
to empty hell,
and to gather a holy people.
And it was He,
who on the night of his betrayal to death,
established this Holy Meal
to be for us
the institution, the guarantee, and the evidence
of your wondrous salvation:
gave thanks,
broke it, and
gave it to his disciples,
"Take and eat.
This is my body, given for you."
In the same way, after supper,
he took the cup,
gave thanks,
and gave it to his disciples,
"Drink of this, all of you.
This is the cup of salvation,
my blood of the new and everlasting covenant,
given for you and for all
for the forgiveness of sins.
Now, as often as we eat of this bread and drink of this cup,
we proclaim your salvation in Him
until He comes.
Christ has died.
Christ is risen.
Christ will come again.
to claim us as his people,
to establish your eternal reign,
and to share with us the feast that will not end.
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
Send, also, we pray, your Holy Spirit,
to make and to enable us to see
this bread and cup
as the Body of your Christ and the cup of his salvation,
to unite all your people in faith and purpose,
and to make of us
a sacrament of your salvation in our time and place.
Amen. Come, Holy Spirit.
Look upon us with favor,
and at the last day,
raise us
to join the Virgin Mary
and Mary the first witness to the Resurrection,
the Apostles and prophets,
patriarchs and martyrs,
that we may then perfectly,
as we now imperfectly,
join their eternal hymn of praise.
All honor, glory, power, and dominion
are yours, Almighty Father,
through your blessed Son,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
now and to all the ages.

Ryanair to open 14th UK base at Southend Airport
Ryanair will open a base at London Southend Airport in April next year.
The low-cost airline announced it will operate 13 routes to eight countries from the Essex airport, including Barcelona, Corfu, Milan and Venice.
There will be more than 55 flights a week carrying an estimated one million passengers each year.
Three aircraft will be based at Southend, creating 750 on-site jobs per year, according to the budget carrier.
Ryanair chief commercial officer David O'Brien said: "Ryanair guests travelling to and from London and the Essex area can now enjoy low fares on a choice of 13 routes through London Southend's exceptionally passenger-friendly terminal.
"Southend Airport's train station will deliver direct services from the terminal to London Liverpool Street and also the new Crossrail service opening in 2019, making the airport even more accessible from all parts of London."
The airport will be Ryanair's 14th UK base.
Ryanair has previously warned that it will pivot growth away from the UK due to Brexit.
Mr O'Brien insisted the decision to open a base at London Southend should not be viewed as a "vote of confidence into the future of UK aviation".
Almost a quarter of Ryanair's capacity growth this year will be in Germany, compared with just 10% in the UK.
"You can see how (the UK is) beginning to lag within the Ryanair environment," Mr O'Brien said.
He added that the closure of Ryanair's base at Glasgow Airport at the end of the summer – announced in February – is due to its "remoteness", decreasing demand and Air Passenger Duty.
Demand for flights from the UK to Europe is flat this year while passenger numbers from countries such as Germany, Italy and Spain are growing.
Stobart Group, which owns and operates London Southend, has been rocked in recent weeks by efforts from key shareholders to install retail boss Philip Day as chairman of the firm and boot out incumbent Iain Ferguson.
The infrastructure business is under pressure from former chief executive Andrew Tinkler, former director Allan Jenkinson and the fund controlled by star investor Neil Woodfood.
Mr Tinkler's successor, Warwick Brady, was asked by reporters whether he is confident of being able to "carry on and deliver" the growth announced at London Southend.
He replied: "We've got a great management team. It's going to give us the platform to grow and to generate cash and shareholder returns.
"Ryanair's commitment to London Southend (shows) a real confidence in the management team and my leadership.
"I hope to see that lasting for many years to come."

Globally well renowned package delivery company DHL is introducing the third generation of its Parcelcopter, a drone that is more than capable of boosting existing logistics chains within the DHL service by making it possible to deliver packages with a degree of speed and efficiency that regular mail-delivery road vehicles simply cannot be expected to match.
The new version of the Parcelcopter can take off vertically like a helicopter before then moving forward like an airplane. It is capable of flying along at a speed of up to 70 km/h while securely holding on to a package that can weigh up to 4.4 pounds for a maximum distance of 8.3 km.
Ultimately, the new Parcelcopter well and truly proves that drone-based package deliveries aren't just a thing of the future, but are fast becoming a part of the present system of package delivery infrastructure.

Dr Mercola has just reported that recent research has been showing an overlap between the psychological and behavioral symptoms of ADHD and those of coeliac disease. On top of that is a new study which found people with ADHD who tested positive for celiac disease started to improve significantly after following a gluten-free diet for at least six months.
Dr Mercola states:
It may sound strange to you that eating a grain that wreaks havoc on your gut would manifest as symptoms related to your brain, rather than your digestion, but grains are inherently pro-inflammatory and will worsen any condition that has chronic inflammation at its root -- and not just inflammation in your gut, but anywhere in your body. Chronic inflammation in your body can wreak havoc in your brain, and the importance of reducing inflammation when dealing with mental health issues is well known. It is very common for people to experience a wide variety of mental health and emotional improvements upon eliminating gluten from their diet.And here's another little gem of information:
Wheat also contains high amounts of wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), a glycoprotein classified as a lectin, which is largely responsible for many of wheat's ill effects. Other grains high in lectins include rice, spelt, and rye. Interestingly enough, the highest amounts of WGA is found in whole wheat, including its sprouted form, which is touted as being the most healthful form of all.So don't look upon your gluten-free diet as the worst thing anyone should have to endure - healthwise it may be the best thing that ever happened to you.
Go check out this information on the Contribution of Gluten to ADHD.
What bugs me is that people are put on dangerous anti-inflammatory drugs for these conditions, when there ARE harmless alternatives available - like dietary measures.
"My people suffer from lack of knowledge."
