1 Chronicles 3 New Life Version (NLV)
The Family of David
3 These were the sons of David who were born to him in Hebron. The first-born was Amnon, whose mother was Ahinoam of Jezreel. The second was Daniel, the son of Abigail of Carmel. 2 The third was Absalom the son of Maacah, the daughter of King Talmai of Geshur. The fourth was Adonijah the son of Haggith. 3 The fifth was Shephatiah the son of Abital. And the sixth was Ithream, by David's wife Eglah. 4 Six sons were born to David in Hebron. He ruled there for seven years and six months. And he ruled in Jerusalem for thirty-three years. 5 These are the sons who were born to him in Jerusalem: Bathsheba the daughter of Ammiel gave birth to David's four sons, Shimea, Shobab, Nathan and Solomon. 6 And there were Ibhar, Elishama, Eliphelet, 7 Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia, 8 Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet, nine sons. 9 All these were the sons of David, added to the sons of the women who acted as David's wives. Tamar was their sister.
The Family of Solomon
10 Solomon's son was Rehoboam. Abijah was his son. Asa was his son. Jehoshaphat was his son. 11 Joram was his son. Ahaziah was his son. Joash was his son. 12 Amaziah was his son. Azariah was his son. Jotham was his son. 13 Ahaz was his son. Hezekiah was his son. Manasseh was his son. 14 Amon was his son. And Josiah was his son. 15 The sons of Josiah were Johanan the first-born, Jehoiakim the second, Zedekiah the third, and Shallum the fourth. 16 The sons of Jehoiakim were Jeconiah and Zedekiah.
The Family of Jeconiah
17 Jeconiah was taken away to prison by the Babylonians. His sons were Shealtiel, 18 Malchiram, Pedaiah, Shenazzar, Jekamiah, Hoshama, and Nedabiah. 19 Pedaiah's sons were Zerubbabel and Shimei. And the sons of Zerubbabel were Meshullam and Hananiah. Shelomith was their sister. 20 Five other sons of Zerubbabel were Hashubah, Ohel, Berechiah, Hasadiah, and Jushab-hesed. 21 The sons of Hananiah were Pelatiah and Jeshaiah, whose son was Rephaiah. His son was Arnan. His son was Obadiah. And his son was Shecaniah. 22 Shecaniah's son was Shemaiah, whose sons were Hattush, Igal, Bariah, Neariah, and Shaphat, six sons. 23 The three sons of Neariah were Elioenai, Hizkiah and Azrikam. 24 And the seven sons of Elioenai were Hodaviah, Eliashib, Pelaiah, Akkub, Johanan, Delaiah, and Anani.

So, Slate.com just posted an article on The Lord of the Rings, which I learned about via David Bratman's response on The Tolkien Society website. The article's not that great, and what made me roll my eyes is precisely what Bratman liked about it: it's whole-hearted admiration and approval of Tolkien. Personally, I've never liked excessively hagiographic articles on people's favorite writers -- even if you like the writer under discussion yourself, it's always a bit like someone coming on too strongly on a first date. Rally, incisive and critical pieces where I actually learn something just interest me more. This may be one of the (many) reasons I never got involved in fandom of any sort -- the constant vague encomiums annoy me. Kakaes's constant references to Tolkien's "magic" and "original grandeur" particularly gets on my nerves. These terms don't mean anything. They're just superlatives meant to indicate the writer of the article's own feelings and, as such, are rather inarticulate expressions of self.
Anyway, what I did like about the piece was Kakaes's admission of disappointment that Bilbo wasn't a more prominent character in LOTR. I tried -- and failed -- to read LOTR twice while in high school. Neither time could I read beyond the hobbits getting out of the Shire. Both times I was irritated that Bilbo wasn't the main character. (And I remember thinking, "Frodo? What king of weirdo name is that." No idea why I thought that was stranger than "Bilbo.")
Anyway, I'll give Kakaes points for that one.

IOM Land and Barge Return Operations Recommence to South Sudan in December
On 1 December, IOM restarted its land and barge return operations as part of the Joint Organized Return Plan operations for the 2007 return season. In December IOM completed four land and one barge movement returning a total of 199 Heads of Household comprising 745 individuals to Upper Nile, South Kordofan and Unity States.
1. Since Colonialism in Africa, the State (Ethiopia) has struggled for the liberty of all Africa as reflected in its role in the establishment of the OAU, whose principal purpose was eradication of colonialism. However, the international actions of the State were not matched by similar moves for the domestic protection of human and peoples' rights. For the most part, individual and collective rights in Ethiopia were neglected. Human rights violations were almost the norm. That is now past.
From Afghanistan to Sudan, WFP is on the frontline of crises across the globe.
By: Raeed Tayeh
The latest reports from different countries for 2007.
In the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa, 232 families with orphaned children were provided food baskets, just in time for Eid-ul-Fitr. This project was completed in cooperation with American Relief Agency for the Horn of Africa (ARAHA).
In the Gaza Strip, where things continue to go from bad to worse in one of the world's most densely populated areas, LIFE was able to provide food baskets to 500 families.
United Nations officials are increasingly concerned about food security in Ethiopia's impoverished Somali region where conflict between Government forces and the Ogaden National Liberation Front has intensified this year.
The humanitarian situation in the region has been compounded by poor rains and the decreasing availability of pasture and water, while food prices are being pushed up by restrictions on the cross-border movement of goods, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).
OCHA noted that there have been some reported cases of …
- DPPA and Organizations under its Umbrella
Celebrated the Millennium
- Nutrition Assessment Conducted in Regions and Refugee Camps
- Major Disasters and Responses
Over 162,000 Quintals of Food Aid Dispatched to Somali Region
Somalia - Displacement continues amid ongoing hostilities
Intensified fighting broke out in Mogadishu on October 27th, aggravating an already precarious humanitarian situation.
I am writing with reference to the letter from the President of the Security Council addressed to the Secretary-General dated 31 May 2006 (S/2006/354), in which the Security Council informed your predecessor about the establishment of an ad hoc committee on mandate review to conduct the review of Security Council mandates called for by the Heads of State and Government in the 2005 World Summit Outcome Document (A/60/1) and to continue consideration of the recommendations contained in the report of the Secretary-General entitled "Mandating and delivering: analysis and recommendations …
Over 162,000 Quintals of Food Aid Dispatched to Somali Region
A total of 162,075.84 quintals of food aid was dispatched to assist the needy in Somali Region during the month of December.
According to a report from Logistics Administration and Transport Co-ordination Department, out of a total of 232,582 quintals of food allocated for the region, 162,075.84 had already been transported from Dire Dawa Central warehouse of the DPPA to be distributed among the needy.
The food aid had been sent to Degehabour, Fik, Gode, Korahe and warder zones of Somali Region.
Recurrent drought following several poor rainy seasons has led to food insecurity and widespread malnutrition in the countries of the Horn of Africa region (Eritrea, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Kenya, Somalia and Sudan). The public health and food security situation is poor. Poor nutrition, a rising number of people living with human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) and increasing incidence of other infectious diseases all contribute to high levels of morbidity and mortality in the subregion.
The consequences of the 2003 drought conditions that affected close to 14 million people severely impacted the ability of rural communities to respond and recover, despite improved humanitarian conditions. Ethiopia continues to suffer from the effects of this difficult situation today.
Since CHF International began working in Ethiopia in April 2004, we have established ourselves as a leader in mitigating chronic food insecurity and complex emergencies, by focusing on livelihood recovery and income generation.
Focus on Ethiopia is produced by UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), in collaboration with other UN agencies and partner NGOs. Focus on Ethiopia provides a monthly overview of humanitarian trends and activities in Ethiopia, as well as focusing on particular issues of interest.
Pledges and contributions
The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) is pleased to acknowledge the receipt of a new contribution (as of 30 November) made by Chile ($30,000). Meanwhile, Italy pledged an additional $1,393,592 for 2007. OCHA encourages all Member States to turn their pledges into contributions as soon as possible.
Training workshops
During 2007, the CERF Secretariat organized several training workshops in Bangkok, Dakar, Geneva, Nairobi, New York, Panama City, and Rome to improve the use of the Fund.
Highlights (1)
- The DPPA-led multi-agency assessment team identified beneficiaries anticipated to face food and income gaps in the coming three to six months
- Tension has increased in Jijiga town.
Humanitarian Overview/context
The DPPA-led multi agency seasonal assessment reported that higher food deficits are anticipated in cropping areas compared to the pastoral areas due to poor performance of deyr rains.
The assessment also indicates that in areas where the rains have been poor, pastoralists have migrated to cope with water and pasture shortages.
The Regional Humanitarian Funding Update provides a quarterly overview of funding levels and trends in the countries of the Central and East African region (CEA) based on data reported to the Financial Tracking System (FTS)
The CEA region faces the greatest level of humanitarian need anywhere in the world.
• UNMAS celebrated its 10th anniversary.
• The General Assembly reaffirmed UNMAS' role as the focal point for mine action within the UN system.
• The UN Mine Action Team supported efforts by Member States to develop a legally binding instrument that addresses the impact of cluster munitions.
• The Secretary-General reported on progress and challenges in mine action in over 40 reports to the Security Council on a wide range of country situations and thematic issues.
This report covers the period from 12/1/2007 to 12/31/2007
Ongoing restrictions on trade and movement, poor deyr (October to November) rains, locust infestations and limited humanitarian access to Warder, Korahe, Fik, Degehabur and Gode Zones have led to extreme levels of food insecurity (Figure 1). Unless humanitarian access and restrictions on trade and movement improve significantly, they could cause a humanitarian crisis among pastoral and agropastoral populations living in these areas as the dry season progresses.

- The European Union (EU), aware of its
responsibilities under the Algiers Agreement and willing to facilitate
the solution of the existing difficulties in the relations between the
two Countries, reiterates its unwavering commitment to support efforts
to promote sustainable peace between Eritrea and Ethiopia.
2. In this respect, the EU strongly urges both parties to refrain from any threat or use of force and to resolve their differences by peaceful means.

The classically trained British pianist John Law had moved from a predominantly free-improv agenda to something like Brad Mehldau's hypnotically grooving lyricism by this trio's debut in 2006, but the finale to his four-part Art of Sound series is very different, and buzzing with surprises. The lyricism remains, but Law has added a more rugged funkiness, with acoustic bassist Sam Burgess sometimes deploying growling distortion effects as Dan Berglund did with EST, and Asaf Sirkis sounding creatively freer and more dramatically inventive than ever on drums.
The romantic, tidally rolling The Ghost in the Oak quickly gives way to an earthier funky drive on the title track, uptempo swingers highlight both Law's cool precision of line and Burgess's unwavering walk, and delicate baroque-jazz features such as Still Life and Three Part Invention display the pianist's free-flowing spontaneity with classical materials. Sirkis is majestic on the fuzz-bass Clap Trap and in a long exchange with the piano riff on Method In My Madness, and the closing Chorale starts as a soft meditation and grows into an understated Latin shuffle. An ideal set both for Law's fans, and anyone wanting an accessible introduction to this formidably equipped artist.

The first clip is now uploaded and i decided to make a test upload. This upload isn't optimal if you want to get many views but i wanted to try if it's profitable to write and spend some time on the descriptions and meta datas. Hopefully it will make the clip standing out from the rest and i will get more search hits than the others. But there are already videos like mine uploaded who have a couple of thousand views which will make my clip a bit harder to find.
Rule number one in how to get famous is: Be first or be unique. This is vital for getting famous and in my case getting views. Find your own ideas, spread them and reach the first milestone in your new life as a celebrity.
Check out my first clip and watch my description, do you prefer a description with more details or should i just keep it short?

Happy Easter!
"Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?" – 1 Cor 15:55
HAPPY EASTER! Christ is Risen, Alleluia! Indeed, He is Risen, Alleluia!
Don't forget this moment of victory!
Mardi Gras!
Recently I was down in southern Louisiana for the end of the Mardi Gras season, and I had a great time! It was one of the best trips that I have taken in a while! I celebrated with friends and strangers for the weekend before Mardi Gras and Lundi Gras. I saw five parades, played lots of games, enjoyed New Orleans twice. Drank a bit, ate a whole huge sampling of king cakes over the weekend, probably 6 different kinds, and enjoyed getting into the "season."
Mardi Gras has a huge stereotype about drunk, crazy, and sinful encounters. And… it is true. That happens a lot, but, in certain parts of the city it's just a small increase over the normal. It also has a LOT of family togetherness. I met so many of my friend's family that I can not keep them straight in my head, not to mention all the friends and friends' friends who opened their doors (or their bathrooms) to us. It is a joyous celebration in the guise of getting ready for Lent.
But wait! On Thursday, just two days later, I was sitting in the Abbey of Subiaco and it dawned on me that all of Lent is looking towards Easter. It probably dawned on me because of a reading, homily or passing comment by one of the holy monks. Here, on my left hand, we have Mardi Gras. A celebration with names like "Bacchus" and "Proteus" and "Rex" and "Isis" and other idol names, parades in which beads, coins, toys, and various other things are thrown to the people who are out watching their friends, community and strangers parade. Looking at these "gods" we see the anticipation of what all the Faithful look forward to: gifts from our God.
Mardi Gras ends and the Faithful fast, abstain, and pray for Lent. Even the non-believers will sometimes take Lent as a time where "giving something up" sounds like a good idea. To quote Archbishop Sheen about philosophies of life: There is the Christian philosophy which says, "First the fast, then the feast;" The world's philosophy is, "First the feast, then the hangover." When we look at Mardi Gras as a secular celebration, we harken back to the days before the Eternal Gift of the Cross, when our pagan and heathen ancestors worshiped trees and themselves. "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die," as 1 Cor 15:32 tells us.
So, where are we? Looking at the microcosm of February-April, we see first the celebration, missing the mark… the Lord. Then, we have the great fast of Lent, the purging of ourselves, the turning toward God, the anticipation of the Victory over the Dead. Then, on the other side of that forty days, looking across the rich wasteland of the desert journey we see the True Feast… the true reason for joy and hope… we have Easter. A feast dedicated to true celebration, focused not in some pagan afterthought, but rather, rooted in the Hope of Christ. Salvation. For we know the dead will be resurrected to Eternal Life or eternal death, and we have seen the first fruits.
Easter is a purified Mardi Gras, so to speak, because it is in redirecting our purpose that we find Truth: not in beads thrown from floats, but in beads given to us by Our Mother; not in drink poured from bottle or can, but in Drink poured from the veins of our Savior; not in king cakes made of sugar and fillings, but in the Bread of Life given by our King; not in crying out, "throw me something, mister," but in crying out, "Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, HAVE MERCY ON ME, A SINNER!" And finally, not a feast followed by a hangover is this Lent and Easter, but rather, a fast followed by the Feast, as this life will be when we enter into the Heavenly Banquet.

On Thursday night, I was lucky enough to attend the launch party for the insanely awesome new line Alex & Eli at Maryam Nassir Zadeh, a really cool store on the Lower East Side. Among oodles of cactii, flowers, super adorable patent leather loafers, and candy cigarettes (!!!), hung the beautiful pieces designed by Anne and Aja, recent graduates of Parsons, who after internships with peeps like Rodarte, Carolina Herrera and Zac Posen, branched out on their own with a line of suits and tailoring for cool girls.
I'm not going to beat around the bush and I will go straight to my single new sartorial obsession: the blazer with zip-off-sleeves. Yes. ZIP.OFF.SLEEVES.
You guys! The construction in this jacket is amazing, and I am not certain that the picture on the left truly does it justice. The gold industrial zipper is not noticeable at all, but even if you could see it, it would look incredible. I love things that are well finished all over, even when you cannot notice them. I am also super psyched about it because it retails for about $480, which is perfectly appropriate because you are buying two-pieces in one. I have already started my piggy bank savings for it. I cannot say enough good things about it.
The rest of their collection is insanely versatile, it has hints of YSL but in a more downtown, un-fussy way. The pleated pants were exquisite, both in full length and shorts. The southwestern print is totally bananas, and feels super vintage. It's just lovely really.
Oh and the non-suiting pieces? Just as cool. This jumpsuit was made of the softest, thinnest jersey (at least I think it was silk jersey), and I can't imagine anything more perfect to wear when it gets ridiculously warm and gross in the city in July. And to top it off in the utmost radness, check out the jacket with the tail! AH! So so so good. I wish these girls the best of luck, not that they will need it because they are clearly on the right path to win over the hearts of every single girl ever in the history of the universe.
Ps. My apologies for the lack of updates lately, it's jsut taken me a while to get the hang of things again, what with my vacation and being super sick lately. I should get back on track from now on though! No worries!

Re: goggles help
LOL - I throw all my gear in the dishwasher...gloves, barrels, barrel condoms, pads, pods, pack, swabs...just make sure to turn the heat off! They'll come out really wet because there's no spin cycle (duh!) and I try to remove my mask and pads immediately and put somewhere where there's a lot of air flow so they can air dry. With the mask, the heat of the water (the dishwasher makes it's own heat, remember?) so if you don't remove it immediately, there's a chance it might reform itself. Also, some foam doesn't like the dishwasher for some reason. I haven't had a problem with my profiler or Shield, but be forewarned, just in case!
Here's an article about washing gear in a dishwasher
and where I first heard about it.

This old Lambretta was doing service at Åland, the archipelago between Sweden and Finland. The islands belongs to Finland but the inhabitants speak Swedish. My informer Kjell was born in 1958 and during the first three years of his life, this was the family vehicle.
On the top picture are Kjells parents. Below is the same Lambretta and Kjells mother Eivor is hiding behind it with her husbands sister. The bags might still be in the family's possesion.
Kjell doesn't now the model, since the Lambretta is long gone. The round ventilation holes points at either a 125 Lc or an early 125 Ld. I can't decide judging just by these pictures, it would have been easier if I had seen the front wheel, the suspension differ between Lc and Ld. Any suggestions?
Nice one, anyhow!

The hair mask sounds really interesting. I've never used avocados on hair before. I tried an olive oil mask for my hair once before, but I think I used too much oil because my hair smelled like a salad for the rest of the week :(ReplyDelete
that looks interesting! but i understand because LUSH makes their items with edible ingredients and they work really great :D
btw, i never thought avocado is fattening. it is just about vitamine E :D better than taking sugar!!! hehe but many people say that it is fattening and i don't understand. it is just a vegetable!
thanks for sharing these recipes/remedies! i just noticed that my hair needed a mask of some sort, so I may try this DELICIOUS avocado one!

i just had an avocado smoothie today hehe, i love avocado but i never knew you can use it for hair. I used to use that egg white mask too, but i find it so messy to apply, but i love the results.ReplyDelete
I didn't realise egg white was so good for a face mask *o* thanks for the tip!ReplyDelete
I'm much too lazy to do this. I tried a mayo and egg hair mask before and gave up after just the once. I truly deserve my frizzy hair hahahaReplyDelete
Hi suki! I've tried the egg white mask as for the avocado I think it's a little bit too expensive here :/ since we have to importReplyDelete
hi suki!! omg I love avocados! they are super yummy specially with thick condensed milk, yum!! and I have yet to dry the hair mask, so thanks for sharing, gotta make sure I don't eat them avocados!ReplyDelete
The idea of putting a raw
egg on your face is just
to ewww =w= but I think
I can give it a shot?
I'm just so lazy in making
these mask :c
I'm glad it works well on
Good job on the masks!!
I'll try the egg mask :)
hahahah...you know your bf would be hitting his head on the wall for going on this trip...you have made him so infamous...everything you do and you say because bf went on trip so i am doing this and that...hahaha...poor him... i think this will be his last trip without you :PReplyDelete
That hair mask looks like a pain to wash off :S Hmm I wonder if it really worked. The egg mask sounds so good, i'm quite scared to do DIY face related things,but the egg mask i might try out :) Hope you are well! xXReplyDelete
i see so many girls that make their own masks for faces O_O and the thought scares me because i'm so used to using branded products. BUT now that you did it, i think i'm gonna buy some eggs and try the mask! :D i hope that it works for me! *crosses fingers*ReplyDelete
Definitely trying this. My hair has been soo dry and the split ends are horrible right now. :(ReplyDelete
OMG you're brave trying that out.
I don't think I can do that....
Some people mentioned eggs, olive oil, and honey...
I never heard of avocado for hair hmm.
BUT I will definitely try that face mask
once I get the courage to do it.
BTW I'm back :)
It's been a while since I've been on the blogging world ^-^ The hair mask makes me wanna go buy some avocado and eat them! I don't think I'll have the nerve to put that in my hair. It looks like it'll take a long time to wash out :P My mom has always told me about the egg white mask too! But I still haven't given that a try yet...
I've always been fascinated with the idea of putting... Food, directly on my face; I mean, how much more, organic, and chemical-free; can you get? (provided that you use organic produce) but oh well, I digress. How always been a teeny bit worried about how the stuff will just slide off my face! But the egg white mask seems fairly straight forward enough! Will definitely attempt to try it soon! xReplyDelete
Very nice!
I like bubzbeauty's oatmeal mask.
That one really helps my skin
i've tried the avocado hair mask too! and also didn't get any worth while results :(ReplyDelete
this is an awesome review! and i'll definitely try the face mask then :)ReplyDelete

Blistonia Conflict Chronicles - Great Continent
The Great Continent
The date is 1703 MS, and two hundred years have passed since the Great War that shook the whole continent. Fragile alliances have since either faded into cold indifference, or borders have receded as nations crippled by the war rebuilt.
Stories of the heroes that slew evil on the top of the mountain, on the teeth of the world, have become legends, then song, then stories, and are now mostly forgotten.
But evil never forgets and it does not slumber any longer. Dark things, quick in the night, take unwary travelers from the roads never to be seen again. Whole rivers of fish have washed up dead and rotten on the shores. Civil unrest and disease are rife in the few remaining vestiges of civilization.

RE: Sinus infection
(01-06-2015, 02:32 AM)AshSF Wrote: My body posture [with neti pot] wasn't correct. If you don't do it in the right way, it makes you more susceptible to sinus attacks. Also, I was doing it with cold water. Now I do it with lukewarm distilled water. There are multiple yoga related websites which describe the correct posture. You should google "neti technique" and read up.
Also, doing it 4x a day is overkill on a daily basis and may remove too much mucus. I only do it once a day.
If you are in the middle of an acute sinus infection, then 4x a day makes sense. I have never been able to control a sinus infection with antibiotics. I have always gotten a good result by aggressive Neti during acute sinusitis.
Thanks. Yes, normally I only use the neti pot once a day -- I've only increased it temporarily due to this infection.
What has really seemed to help in my case is putting my head under a towel tent over a pot of steaming water with some rosemary or eucalyptus oil 3 or so times a day. I started that yesterday afternoon, and it seemed to knock out the infection per se (headache, teeth ache, colored nasal discharge). I'm still blowing my nose a lot, but it seems much clearer. I'm not adverse to antibiotics, but tend to use them as a last resort. Some years ago I did a lot of freediving (breathhold skin diving without scuba gear) and became very familiar with ear/sinus issues of various kinds.

Monday, Brad Paisley, a white man, joined hands with LL Cool J, a black man, and attempted to end racism with a song called "Accidental Racist" (below), wherein Paisley addressed the debilitating dread of being an affluent white male in America and LL panthered around in the background, high-fiving Robert E. Lee and implying that gold necklaces aren't that dissimilar from slave chains.
Brad Paisley
I mean...

A few years ago, I tried to sneak a very Please Have Sex With Me-y romantic-y playlist onto my wife's laptop. It had Ginuwine on it, it had Sade on it, it had Jon B on it and more. I've no doubt that if I'd had completed the mission as I'd planned it, there'd be at least one more Serrano in the world. However, while lurking around in the dark, I tripped (over the Devil's fingernails, I'm assuming) and dropped the laptop square the fuck on its edge. It exploded into a million tiny cockblocking parts.
This song is a lot like that: The intentions are altruistic enough, but the execution is devastating. To wit, a breakdown of the lyrics, along with commentary and pictures and GIFs and so on.

To the man that waited on me at the Starbucks down on Main...Well, so we're off to an auspicious start.

The red flag on my chest somehow is like the elephant in the corner of the South.Somehow?
Just a proud rebel son with an 'ol can of worms, lookin' like I got a lot to learn but from my point of view.OK, one verse in. Just to recap: You went to a coffee shop this morning. You were there wearing a T-shirt with an emblem on it that has, in no uncertain terms, been affixed to all sorts of human terribleness. The guy working there didn't say anything to you, and maybe he didn't even look at you weird, but maybe just in case on the teeny chance that he didn't fully understand your shirt, and even though there's apparently nothing wrong at all, and you definitely don't feel guilty about wearing it and running into a black person, you, without any prompting, just want to clear up that you're not a racist. So basically, everyone just shut the fuck up about the shirt you're wearing, because you don't like to be made to feel uncomfortable about it by a guy that didn't say anything or do anything? Neat. Got it.
I'm just a white man comin' to you from the southland, tryin' to understand what it's like not to be.NON-WHITE PEOPLE ARE DEEP-SPACE ALIENS AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THEM WHY IS THEIR HAIR NOT BLOND OR WHY IS IT CURLY WHAT HAPPENED TO THEIR EYES WHY ARE THEY BROWN WHAT'S THIS STRANGE LANGUAGE THEY SPEAK WHAT DO THEY EAT DO THEY DRINK WATER IF I FEED ONE AFTER MIDNIGHT WILL MORE NON-WHITES POP OUT OF THEIR BACKS???

Shah Rukh Khan has enlisted Dostana filmmaker Tarun Mansukhani to direct the final part of Ra.One.
According to The Hindustan Times, Khan did not have a good relationship with the original director Anubhav Sinha.
Khan had previously called upon Karan Johar to direct the romantic scenes between him and Kareena Kapoor, but the 38-year-old director was unavailable to shoot the remainder of the film.
"Karan told Shah Rukh that he is extremely busy at the moment with his own directorial venture Student Of The Year, which goes on floors next month. However, Karan provided him with an option," said a source.
"He told Shah Rukh that Tarun Mansukhani was very competent, had a great equation with Priyanka Chopra since his Dostana days and would be just right to take over the last schedule.
"Shah Rukh was very happy with Mansukhani's work on the last schedule. Mansukhani also shares a great equation with Kareena since the days of Kabhie Khushi Kabhie Gham, in which he had assisted Karan. For Ra.One, he shot a few scenes with Kareena as well."
However, Sinha dismissed the reports, saying: "Arre maulah. Mansukhani was helping SRK in the capacity of an executive producer."
Ra.One - billed as India's first superhero film - is expected to be released on October 26.

My fall wish list. New Hunter Rain Boots. A warm (but not too warm) fall coat. New Boots. Suede, Leather. Maybe a wedge heel. Maybe above the knee, despite the fact that some people think the OTK look is very Julia Roberts a la Pretty Woman, or in other words, "Slutty". Maybe I will get all of the above!!!
Why? Because of Friends and Family Sales. Lord and Taylor gave their friends 25%. Saks 20%. (not that much when you think of the price of the store items!)Overwhelmed by the opportunities, and challenged by a low credit limit, I was debating where I can seek my coveted items.
At the end of the day, one my colleagues asks what I have decided. Easy answer: the place with the "Secret Sale."
"Bloomingdales! I am going to Bloomingdales!" I announce proudly with decisiveness.
Bob, another coworker, looks up, as he is putting on his coat and matter-of -factly says:
"They found a beg bug in Bloomingdales."
"There are bed bugs in Bloomingdales? Impossible!"I screech in horror.
"Not Bedbugs. A bed bug." He says.
"ONE, singular (AND if I may add, not so sensational) BED BUG?" I ask.
"That's right. One single bedbug. It was in the news."
I tell him that is BS and I don't believe it. It is in a nice neighborhood!
He tells me to check out bedbugregistry.com
Bed bugs have registries? Huh? Well, I guess, if I registered I Bloomingdales, so could a bed bug. I mean they do have a great home section. I research it and lo and behold there is an article, that states a beg bug was found and removed from Bloomingdales. One bed bug.
I will be damned if one bed bug prevents me from shopping in a high –end store. I mean does one fly keep you out of your favorite restaurant?
So I trek out of the office chilled to the bone in my spring coat to Bloomingdales. Vermin will not deter me from my mission. No way and no how!
So I saunter through the gold doors and bask in the bright lights of my favorite store. I caress the cashmere sweaters, linger longingly over the leggings and stroke a pair of suede boots like it is my childhood pet. I even drape my arm with a carload of items to try on. (So what if I don't have a car).
So, I get to the dressing room and am frozen. I can't go in. I have visions of nasty little bloodsucking critters devouring me. What if there was more than one? What if I get welt-like bites all over my body? What if I bring them home and have to throw out tens of thousands of dollars of mission furniture?
So I left Bloomie's empty handed, vermin free, several hundred dollars short of my credit limit and without hooker boots.

So who was this man called Galileo and what did he do? Read on to find out more about this amazing man!
His full name was Galileo Galilei and he was an Italian scientist who opened the eyes of the world to a new way of thinking about how our solar system works and astronomy in general.
For many years scientists believed that the solar system revolved around the Earth. But Galileo was the first scientist to prove that this wasn't actually correct, in fact the solar system revolved around the sun. Pretty clever man he was indeed. He also invented an improved telescope so that he could gaze far into space. He was the first to see Jupiter's moons and then realised that our moon was covered full of craters. He was brilliant, but besides this, his life wasn't easy.
He decided to run an experiment on the Leaning Tower of Pisa. He went to the top and dropped two items that were different weights, but were the same size and shape. He believed that the heavier item would land first, but it didn't. They both landed at the same time. However, no one really knows if he did this as the only person who really knew was his secretary.
Revolve – circle around.
Telescope – a device which allows you to see things in the distance really clearly, like stars and moons.
Crater – a large, bowl-shaped hole in the ground or on the surface of a planet.

I don't think most of us in the Western world have any clue how deep and sick our selfishness is. We do not understand how much of our lives are actually focused on ourselves. Unfortunately, the American way results in a depth of selfishness that is blind to the trials and tribulations of the world around us. We do tremendous amounts of harm to people all around us in the pursuit of selfish gain, never acknowledging the trail of wreckage we leave behind. I have seen more of this truth in the last few years than I care to admit or even acknowledge. We are a selfish people. Sadly, we've been trained to live that way.
The culture we live in today is obsessed with who we are and what we desire. We eat foods that comfort and soothe our appetite for even more food. We sit mind-numbingly watching shows, movies, and programs and playing video games that we herald as something we deserve after a long day of work, all while subconsciously being taught to live for ourselves. Those games, shows, and movies teach us selfish thought patterns all while entertaining us and removing our awareness that they're harming us. Our children are taught to be the best in school, sports, and activities that interest them. They're taught to excel in these activities, and to pursue the life they desire, not the life that God desires for them. Parents work countless hours in hopes of giving their children the desires of their hearts, all under the guise of "giving them a better life". We go to school to pursue what we want from our lives. We take hours of classes to go out and become something, but that "something" usually becomes further obsessed with feeding his/her own selfish desires. We pile up debt to pursue the things desired, all in the name of "living the dream." We "go to church" on our own terms and if the service isn't just what we needed, we walk out irritated that we got nothing out of it. We get married to the man/woman we "love" and then when that "love" runs out and we're sick of serving their selfish desires and not getting our own needs met, we divorce and separate what God brought together and pursue the next desire. This list could go on and on. (Of course I understand that every single thing I've listed in this paragraph has exceptions that are not wrong…but don't let the exemption be the point in your own mind.)
We are truly obsessed with ourselves. We want what we want and that's all there is to it. That's been engrained into our hearts from most every side of our lives. Frankly, it's been happening since the fall of mankind. Adam and Eve were fed with a selfish desire for more than what God had already given them and a desire for something he commanded them not to eat. They were tempted to want more than He gave them. We have a mountain of desire in our hearts as well. It's a mountain of immense and even unquenchable danger. Its edges are sharp and dangerous. Its walls are steep and full of consequence. I want to be clear, though. This mountain of desire is one that can be climbed. It is and we all climb it. It wouldn't take any of us very long to list off tons of people who have been able to climb high on their own mountains of desire.
The hard part is that there is no finish line of accomplishment with desire. It's only end is death. Solomon said that after pursuing all that his heart desired, he found it to all be vain. It never proved to be profitable. This man was wealthy beyond measure, having any and every thing his heart found pleasure in, and called it all striving after the wind. The mountain of desire in our hearts is a mountain we climb constantly, but it's a mountain that's highest point is found when we're laying dead upon it. It is frivolous.
This unquenchable desire within us for more can never be met with created things. The hole within our hearts can never be filled with the physical things that surround us. Solomon said in the next chapter of Ecclesiastes that eternity has been set in our hearts. When we left eternal things to pursue our own desires, we left a hole in our hearts that could be not be filled by the things of this world. It's impossible. When we left eternal life with God, we left the heartbeat of our lives. It's why we crave, so indulgently, the things of this life.
This desire can only be met with the Creator Himself. The Psalmist said it best:
"Delight yourself in the LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart."
Psalm 37:4 NIV
The delight of our lives must be the LORD. When He is our delight, the desires of our hearts will be God and His perfect will. The desires of your life that consume your thoughts, time, and energy will only drag you up the mountain of desire further, where you will die hanging on a lonely cliff of wanting more, if those desires are not allowed to be filled by the eternal God who can fill the eternal hole. It is when, and only when, we give up our desires and pursue Christ that we really begin to experience true fulfillment.
Jesus called himself the "Bread of Life". Think about the depth of that statement. Jesus was claiming to be the only thing that could truly fulfill us. To those outside of the arena of faith, such a statement is a bold statement exposing the depth of Jesus' pride and representing what only a narcissist could believe of himself. Either Jesus was a narcissistic ego-maniac or He was right. If He was right, then our desires for validation, love, encouragement, etc. could be met only in Him. He didn't describe Himself as a piece of the bread of life, but as THE Bread of Life. Jesus knew and said that He was and is the true bread that comes down from Heaven to feed the nations. He was/is true fulfillment. While most come to Jesus looking for temporary fulfillment, He is THE fulfillment. Life comes through and in Him.
So, how do we turn this page in our selfish lives? How do we leave behind the desires of the "old man", as scripture calls our old lives of sin, to pursue the only real life?
In the midst of a sad prophecy by Jesus to His disciples, Peter challenges Jesus' words that He must go and die. Peter thinks this is ridiculous and begins to challenge Jesus and even says he won't let that happen. Jesus scolds him and says:
"You do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns."
Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said:
"Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it. What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels."
Mark 8:33-38 NIV
Jesus makes it very clear that our thinking and God's thoughts are not the same. Even while our desires, like Peter's, may seem innocent and noble, they still may not be the will of the Father. This is so overwhelming for our feeble minds to conceive. How many of us would have done the same thing as Peter? I certainly would have thought something similar to Peter, desiring that Jesus be allowed to stay with me and not suffer. However, God is holy and His thoughts are on things above. My thoughts are on the things of man, and my life has proved this to be true all too often. I, like Peter, would have been thinking about what I wanted in that moment.
Last night was our last night as a family staying in the camper trailer. We played games with the kids and made a great night of it together, but it was a sobering evening for Lisa and I. You might think we're rejoicing to be moving out of the camper. However, I think we've learned a lot about the desires of our hearts in here. I'm sitting in the camper this morning after two years of pretty challenging living, but also beautiful experiences that have drawn us together in Christ. I'm thinking back over the last two years with this camper and what I thought I wanted. I never wanted to live in a camper trailer. I never would have chosen to live like we have for the last couple of years as we traveled and served. But, what I wanted and what my Father wanted for me came face to face two years ago. I had different plans and dreams for my life, but my gentle Father had a better plan. It was a plan that drew me out of my comfort zone and made Lisa, the kids, and myself all give up a lot of our ideas about what our lives were going to look like. I don't regret it for one moment. I have lost more of my life in the camper, only to gain something much greater from it all.
As I lay in bed last night, I realized how much I had learned about my own desires. I was thinking on the events of the last couple of years and realized how much more I trust our Heavenly Father than ever before because of this life. He has become our "daily bread" in way I never could have imagined. We have found ourselves welcoming His will into our lives instead of trying to find a way around it. In fact, I believe our own will has become His will in more ways than I probably even realize.
This progress of faith and trust has come at a price, but oh what a beautiful scene it has been to lose our lives for His sake. We have left behind that mountain of desire for more only to get more than we ever imagined. We have found that He is good enough. His promises are true and the life He promises is not a life of going to church and attempting to follow each command of not doing this or that. The Life He promises is in being the church, His body. The promise becomes so real when we see He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. There is nothing greater than just knowing Him and being with Him. He is our daily bread.
I've come down off of that mountain I used to call my dreams. That mountain of desire consumed my life with selfishness, anxiousness and fear. It was a life that pit me against my family. It was a life pursued for me and my pride. Those rocks that once seemed so exciting to climb, have now become a distant memory of who I used to be. Praise Father for that beautiful change!
I want to encourage you to get down off of your own mountain of desire. I want to challenge you to re-examine your life through the eyes of God and consider His will instead of your own. It may be that He's calling you to live in a camper trailer as well. I kind of doubt it, but maybe He is. Maybe He just wants you to stop on your way home from work today to help the struggling guy changing his flat tire. Maybe He wants you to spend a lot less money this Christmas in order to help others whose needs are much greater than the selfish extravagancies you'd choose to spend your money on. Maybe God's calling for a change in your actions at home. Maybe He's calling for you to turn the T.V. off so that you can spend some time on your knees tonight. Maybe He's calling you to repentance. Can you hear Him calling you or are you still climbing the mountain?
I challenge you to sit still for a moment. Sit quietly and consider the steps of your life up till now. Is this the life you wanted or the life He wanted for you? Are you allowing Jesus to live through you or are you still pursuing the life you desire? No one but you can answer those questions, but you have to be willing to slow down, ask them, and listen to His answer.
He's calling you off of the mountain. Will you listen?
"But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead."
Philippians 3:7-11 NIV


text: read this: the purpose of this post is to let folks know that if you htcdev unlock with s-off,your device will go back to reading unlocked until you relock it,at wich time it will read relocked,just like before you s-offed. what does this mean?! if you dont care about getting back to a locked state for warranty purposes,then it doesnt mean anything. if one of the big reasons that you s-offed in the first place was to get back to locked,then,as the title says,dont unlock with htcdev after s-off. you can install recoveries and hboots via hboot in a PH98IMG files,or you can install available patched hboots to enable engineering commands. i hope this helps clarify it for those who were confused by the title. my intention was not to cause panic,simply to educate folks in what id found,as i know the subject of locked/relocked is very important to some. _______________________________________________________________________________________ ok,i have been posting in several threads that the unlocking after s-off is no big deal. i still maintain that. however... on my other s-off,htcdev devices,reflashing the hboot/running an RUU makes the device locked again. after more discussion with con,i decided i better test if i was gonna keep saying it. i stand corrected! i started by flashing back the 2.11.000 hboot and unlocking it. i flashed it again. still unlocked.. hmmm. so i flashed jp patched hboot,now juopunutbear flashed 2.11 back. still unlocked. hmmm. so i relocked. reflashed 2.11. still relocked. uh oh. flashed the eng hboot. now relocked eng 2.11.20005,lol... relocked engineering hboot. flashed the 2.05.0000 ship hboot. still relocked. at this point i ran the entire RUU for 2.01.605.11. still relocked i plan to try flashing the leak ruu,then 2.01.605.11 again,but for now,im tired. 6am comes very shortly. i should have known this phone would somehow be different moral of the story is that if you are one of the folks whom care about your hboot saying locked,dont unlock it sorry for any misconceptions based on my experiences with other devices

Lots of woodworkers participating on this site make cutting boards for gifts or sale. Here's a source of inspiration that others may find enjoyable.
MTM Wood Cutting Board Products
I've never made a single cutting board since there's way too much competition in the field for my liking but it's apparent that there's always room for enterprising woodworkers to develop a style that gives their work individuality.
Here's a link to a video on the Pegasus design.

meet.make.new adventures.
You may have noticed, we have not been around at all the past 4 months. As much as we have loved this lil' ol' blog, it just has not fit into our lives this past while...
A little life update on the 3 of us...
Hayley and Kyle found their dream house and have been busy with moving, giving the place a face-lift, and adjusting to their new life in their home and as newlyweds.
Cindy and Josh have their hands full with their 9 month old (!) Nell, she is growing so fast and as cute as ever!
Lastly, Steph and Pat have made a big life change... Pat got offered his dream job in Kelowna and so they are moving away!
The sad news... we have decided that we will no longer be continuing with meet.make.laugh. When we first started the blog, it was a way for us ladies to get together and have fun. Unfortunately, with everything going on, it just won't be feasible to keep this blog up and running as a trio.
The fun and exciting news... After Steph gets settled in Kelowna, she is planning on starting up a crochet etsy shop/blog to keep her busy. We will keep you all posted when this happens so make sure to stay in touch!!
We have so appreciated connecting with each and every one of you through this space - thank you all for making this such an unforgettable experience! It's been a DIY slice...
Happy blogging! xoxo

I have recently been learning how to "disconnect myself/my spirit" from people that I have known in the past that I no longer need to be "connected" to. Once this connection is released you no longer think about the person and their actions. If thoughts do come back then repeat the disconnection again until finally it is completely gone. The contact you have with this person has formed a connection. It's like a cord that connects from one to another. This connection allows them into your energy and your energy to theirs so it makes it easier for that person to attack you. When released, they no longer have a way into your energy.
In meditation or while you are sitting quietly. First say a prayer of protection surrounding yourself. The next step is to see yourself and see the connection between you and this other person. It is like a spiderweb or an etherial cord. You must ask this person's spirit if it will allow disconnection. If they affirm that it is ok, then go ahead and remove this cord from yourself and from this person. Let it drop and then see it disappear, melting into the ground. If they do not agree to disconnect, it's ok. All you need to do is drop it from yourself and leave it connected to them. It's like they have a dog leash dragging from them but you no longer have the other end.
It does help to forgive them. By forgiving them you are not saying that their actions were either right or wrong. You are forgiving them and thereby releasing yourself.
A few years ago, before I could do this release on my own I had to have a Shaman come in and help me with a past employee who was attacking me. The headache was unbearable. He did a soul release/retrevial for me. Of course with my permission.
I am sure others here on GV can help suggest different techniques to further protect yourself.
Hope this helps!
What are these things?

I am more than my physical body.
Posted 21 January 2011 - 09:34 AM
@Seer: Thank you so much for the advice. I'll try the disconnection tonight when I have some peace and quiet to meditate. Hopefully I can easily drop my connection to this individual, as I really don't seek any involvement with him any further. Again, thank you for the help and wish me luck on dissolving this link

Blogging NY Times: Cyber Doorman
This guy may soon be out of a job, or behind a monitor allowing and denying building access with a click of a button.
The New York Times reports on a growing service, Cyber Doorman, that is being implemented in buildings across Manhattan. Traditional doormen are being replaced by complex security systems and people behind the scenes that control access to your building.
How does it work? Well your building's security system is connected to a central hub, where a team of security guards monitor who's requesting access to your building. If a delivery man arrives, he's instructed to place your package in a secure closet, and you are emailed by the company notifying you of your delivery.
The obvious flaw in this system is what happens if equipment malfunctions, or even if an employee malfunctions and isn't keeping an eye on your apartment, as they should. The cost differential between an actual doorman and the installation and maintenance of this service seems the be draw. Now buildings that could not afford a doorman, can receive similar services and feel more confident in their building's security.
