How to Build Calf Muscles
How to get stronger calves is a question that can be answered with the help of these great tips about builder stronger calf muscles. A bit of commitment helps, too! A larger calf muscle helps to define a toned leg and is especially important to body builders. Body builders are not the only ones who will benefit from larger calf muscles. Anyone interested in building stronger muscles will benefit from being more toned and having more strength. There are several things that can be done to build muscle. Since the legs are home to the largest muscle groups, simple exercises, like walking, can automatically increase muscle tone. Here are more tips that will help define leg calf muscles even further.
The tips are simple to follow and fun to do. These tips will help to put a spring in your step and give your calf muscles a toned and defined look regardless if you are body builder or just someone who wants to look sexier at the beach.
Work the lower half of the body at least three times a week with strength training exercises. A regular strength training workout will take a bit of time and effort but the calf muscles will be more defined with a work out that focuses on them every other day. Always start each workout by warming up and working out the upper leg muscle groups and then focus on the calves. Working out the hips and back prior to the calves may help to prevent injury. On off days, the strength training workout should focus on the upper body.
Tip number two; reduce dietary fat intake. Reducing fat in the diet can be accomplished by adding more food high in fiber to fill you up. Foods with whole grains like whole grain bread, and foods high in fiber, including fruits and vegetables, especially leafy greens, will add more fiber to a diet. High fiber food keeps a person feeling full longer and helps them to resist the temptation of grabbing highly fatted food. When cooking meats try grilling instead of frying which lowers fat and dairy products should be low fat or non-fat versions. Do not add butter to cooking. Try using herbs and spices like garlic or basil to flavor food without adding more fat. One last tip for reducing fat intake: choose broth based soups over creamed version to help lower fat intake further. Despite eliminating fat, remember to eat more calories than are burned off. Muscle cannot be built unless there is a surplus of calories in the diet.
If going to the gym every other day is not an option, gaining bigger calves can be accomplished without having to lift a weight. Walking is an important part of exercise that benefits larger calves. Adding challenging movements like walking up a steep incline will help increase the size of the calf muscles. Using the stairs helps to build up calf muscles. Use the first step on the staircase and climb up and back down repeatedly. Doing this in a set of three with ten steps up and down in each series will also help to increase calf muscles. Low squats also help. Contrary to popular belief, squats are not bad for the back if muscles are warmed up properly and squats are performed correctly. Do squats so that the thigh muscle is parallel to the ground with the knees positioned directly over the ankles and keep the back straight. Always consult a doctor before beginning any exercise routine.

|Visit the Inc. 500 site, which includes a fully searchable database of winners from 1983 to the present
A guide to the typical inc. 500 chief
A ge: The average Inc. 500 CEO is 43. The youngest is 23. For the second year in a row, Inc. 500 veteran (1993, 1994, and 1995) Robert Deutsch of RWD Technologies (#363) retains his title as the 500's tribal elder. Deutsch is 71.
Gender: The Inc. 500 glass ceiling didn't crack this year. Just 38 companies on the '95 list -- 7.6% of the total -- are run by women. That's 10 less than last year, and that's way below the national statistic, which holds that 37% of all businesses are owned by women.
Marriage: Behind every good CEO stands a . . . ? Inc. 500 chiefs may be wedded to their companies, but they're more wedded to their spouses. Eighty-eight percent of the company builders on this year's list are married. (For comparison, 61% of U.S. adults are married.) Are these entrepreneurs happily married? There's at least one good sign that they are: 25% of the married CEOs like their spouses so much that they work with them every day. Only 5% of this year's Inc. 500 CEOs are back on the market after a divorce, and just 5% are single.
Exercise: OK, so there's the CEO who brags about the 365 "sit-ups" he does annually . . . getting out of bed. But not many Inc. 500 CEOs would call themselves couch potatoes: the vast majority of them -- almost 400 -- do some form of exercise. Golf, tennis, running, cycling, and basketball are the most popular. Some Inc. 500 CEOs insist on sharing the ecstasy with the whole office. Take Norman Fong, founder of FWB (#112). Twice a week his employees compete in interdepartmental beach volleyball matches. "We try to get everyone to play," says Fong, "but we try to discourage departments from hiring temporary employees just to win."
Education: Not everyone can be a Bill Gates. Still, 11% of this year's Inc. 500 CEOs have something in common with that former Inc. 500 CEO: they leaped into business armed with only a high school diploma. Another 10% graduated from a two-year college; almost 44% have undergraduate degrees; and 35% have graduate degrees.
Salary: The median salary for this year's Inc. 500 CEOs is $150,000. (The average is $261,000.)
Citizenship: People from China, India, Iran, Israel, and Korea seem to have a knack for finding American streets that are paved with gold. Those are the countries listed most often as the birthplaces of the 12% of this year's Inc. 500 CEOs who were not born in the United States.
Political activity: Nationwide, 62% of Americans are registered to vote, yet only 45% of the eligible population actually did vote last year. In comparison, the Inc. 500 CEOs are a politically active lot: 63% of them say they vote in all elections, and 14% actively lobby their state lawmakers.
Time spent on the computer: Inc. 500 CEOs log an average of about 15 hours a week on their computers.
The entrepreneurial gene: Entrepreneurs do breed entrepreneurs, it seems. Forty-one percent of this year's winners say that their parents are, or have been, business owners.
Hours worked: The average Inc. 500 CEO puts in 58 hours a week. Some CEOs get away with as few as 20, while others claim they slave up to 100 hours a week.
Vacation: On average, Inc. 500 CEOs take 2.3 weeks each year to kick back. But not Bill Kirton. The owner of Executive Systems and Software (#157) doesn't seem to get the old adage about all work and no play. He claims he hasn't had a full week off in the last seven years. "I view a well-planned vacation with lots of items on your itinerary as more arduous than the work I do every day," he says. (Who said anything about an itinerary?)
Management experience: Ironically, 31% of this year's Inc. 500 CEOs say that they started their businesses to take control of their lives, yet the average owner toils 58 hours a week. Nearly 70% have previous management experience, and 55% got the ideas for their businesses while working in the same industries.

Well here we are again after another month of boisterous activity in the Yizkor Book Project and here I am letting you know a little of what transpired during August 2014.
Before continuing, I would like to correct an important fact from my last report. In my excitement in reporting the completion of a number of projects, I incorrectly announced two finalized projects. All the words were there - they just weren't in the right place and my apologies to the people involved. So the two books that I am referring to and their correct coordinators were:
- Serock, Poland (The book of Serock) - coordinated by Howard Orenstein and Israel H. Mida
- Sierpc, Poland (The Community of Sierpc; Memorial Book) - coordinated by Sandra Krisch and Dorothy Lipsky
This past month, quite a few new books were added and a large number of updates were made to our existing, rapidly growing projects. In particular, I would like to point out that quite a few necrologies and indexes were recently added to our online projects. Together with the fact that the Yizkor books contain a wealth of information of the lifestyles and history of the lost communities, quite a few contain lists of people together with details of their close family and facts like date of birth, death, profession and so on which provide an invaluable tool for researchers. The work preparing these lists demands attention to detail, background knowledge and lastly - a great deal of time. I would like to thank the people currently working on these lists - Beryl Baleson, Shalom Bronstein, Madeleine Isenberg & Judy Petersen for their dedication and incredible amounts of time that they put in to making these lists available to all. Of course, a large number of volunteers have been involved in preparing these lists over the years and they are credited listed at:
http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/ - many thanks to all!
As I assume my next report will come out somewhere between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, I would like to wish you all and your families an early, but heartfelt, sweet and otherwise wonderful Shana Tova.
Now to facts and figures for August.
During this last month we have added in 5 new projects:
- Kazimierz Dolny, Poland (Kazimierz: Memorial Book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Kazimierz_Dolny/Kazimierz_Dolny.html

How to crack a Windows XP password
Posted by Admin in Questions & Answers
To crack Windows XP password we'll use a program I personally used a hundreds of times, called Ophcrack
Well, to crack a password there is one big science discipline called cryptography. Here we won't get into details but rather explain how this program works.
So, if you lock your account in Windows with a password for example admin, here is what happens. Windows takes that password and encrypts it with one of the methods of encryption and then saves it into a file(with Windows XP it's a SAM file located in system32). Now your password is no longer stored as admin, but rather something like 3ujf92+*?jdhsa=)jsadn , depending on the encryption method. However, we ask ourselves, why don't we just take that encrypted password and decrypt it back to admin. The thing is we can't because it's a one way encryption and that is actually the point of it all. So how do we actually crack it?
There is a number of methods but the most famous one is brute force attack. Brute force actually means to start with a letter a and encrypting it. Then see if the encrypted strings match. If not then b, c, … until we've gotten to admin. Then the encrypted strings will match and we'll know that is the right password. Brute force attack is the slowest method of cracking, but there is no risk that you'll not find the password. The thing about brute force is that the time of cracking rises rapidly depending on how long the password is, how many characters are being used in it and so forth.
Other methods, such as dictionary attack and an attack using rainbow tables are a better option. Ophcrack itself works using rainbow tables and brute force combined.
1. Download Ophcrack LiveCD
2. This program is now an ISO image. Just burn it with Nero or whatever you're already using for burning images( for burning only ISO images download this burning program – ISORecorder)
3. Now reboot your computer with the CD inside (if the CD will not boot you need to set the boot priority inside BIOS, so that the CD-ROM is the first in the list)
4. A menu like this will appear:
Select the Ophcrack Graphic Mode
5. After the CD is done loading, a user interface like this will appear:
The last right column are the passwords for the given users.
Now depending on many reasons, the cracking of the password could take a long time. So the thing I mostly do is go to sleep and by the time I get up in the morning, Ophcrack has cracked it.
Now just reboot your computer and log into Windows. :)

So DH got it to work. Finally!
Anyhoo, HAPPY Tuesday! Hope you'll enjoy this!
This week's challenge was given by another Twinsie as a gift- or a nail/mani challenge. My gift came from Marisa over at Polish Obsession. My challenge was a Christmas nail art mani. And hopefully you can tell, they're suppose to wrapped up Christmas gifts. I haven't done any nail art for a while so I couldn't find my brushes.

Week 47: Koko Head Cafe/
Koko Head Cafe
1145 12th Ave C
Honolulu, HI 96816
(808) 732-8920
Hawaii received statehood in 1959, making it the most recent state in America. Its islands are steeped in Polynesian history, and offer an exotic reprieve from the mainland's fast-paced lifestyle. Would this tropical paradise even care for the comfort a warm pan of biscuits brings to so many? We're not going to lie. To nosh on a plate of scratch biscuits and gravy proved as likely as spotting a can of Spam at an island vegan convention. "We don't grow wheat or process flour in Hawaii," Dania Novack Katz, publisher of Edible Hawaiian Islands explained. This might explain the missing bevy of biscuit believers, but surely there was hope in tracking down a biscuit befitting the tradition of its people. This week, 50 States of Biscuits proudly presents poi as the secret to Chef Lee Anne Wong's biscuits at Koko Head Cafe in Honolulu, Hawaii.
You may recognize Chef Wong from her outstanding performance as one of the final contestants on the first season of Bravo's reality show, Top Chef. She went on to be their culinary producer for the next four seasons. A French Culinary Institute graduate and Executive Chef of Events Operations, Wong moved from the mainland in 2013, and opened Koko Head Cafe, an island style brunch house. "I moved from the food capital of the world to a place where I often needed a soy sauce break," 2nd Generation Chinese-American Wong remembers. This self-described culinary polyglot travels the world exploring cultures and flavors. Her attention to global detail shines in dishes such as Breakfast Bibimbap- bacon, Portuguese sausage, heritage ham, kimchi, soy-mirin shiitake mushrooms, on choy, seasme carrots and bean sprouts, sunnyside up egg, served over crispy garlic rice in a hot skillet, and Eggs Hāloa- poached eggs on poi biscuit, coconut luau, sour poi hollandaise, local greens. "Breakfast is personal. People are repetitive about their menu choices. I wanted to make brunch exciting again," Wong explains.
To know the foundations of Chef Wong's poi biscuits, one must first understand the story and significance of Hāloa. The source and beginning…

The base for Eggs Hāloa and Biscuits and Gravy is Wong's poi biscuit. "This biscuit is one- of-a-kind, culturally and historically relevant," she says of a biscuit rooted in Hawaiian heritage that she's particularly proud of. Chef continues by explaining the process, "We source our organic kalo/taro product from a local kalo farmer and practitioner. We get it in the form of cooked koena (the first/outer layer of flesh from a steamed and peeled piece of taro root) similar to the flesh of cooked sweet potato. The koena has a lot of starch and sugar. From this, we freeze the koena completely, and then thaw it completely. This process helps to leech all of the water out of the koena, which we then dry and grind into flour. Because the kalo has natural bacteria and cultures that make it great for fermenting, the flour over time takes on an 'aged' flavor very much like sour poi. The heart of the steamed kalo root is what is used to make pa'i'ai, which is the form of poi without water. We get our poi already made with water, and then it sours for a few days to develop flavor. We combine the koena flour and sour poi with other ingredients to make our poi biscuit."
Taro is primarily used to make poi, and is considered by many Hawaiians life's sustenance. Still, life as a taro farmer is relentless. Natural calamaties mainlanders experience such as hurricanes and floods are no match for the taro farmer who also contends with muddy agricultural conditions which are far-removed. To top if off, the financial yields are quite low. "Small scale farmers are breaking their backs to grow delicious food," Wong says, "which is why we're 100% committed to supporting small farms." Wong reports that upwards of 70% of her food budget is allotted for her neighboring farms. She enjoys working with the island food co-op, Adaptations, Inc., where their mission is to engage in ecologically sound community and land development based on organic farming. Even though Hawaii is a unique, pristine micro biosphere, it's economy was built on mono crops such as pineapple and sugar cane. In supporting diverse agriculture, chefs like Wong are doing their part to assure a sound future for their food systems.
While most Americans' access to taro and poi is extremely limited, the Vanilla Sea Salt Cream Biscuit at Koko Head intrigues a more familiar palate. Made with Hawaiian vanilla bean, Alaea sea salt, and cream, this fragrant biscuit is served warm with a house-made honey butter. Chef is currently serving butter made with Christmas berry honey, but she changes the honey often, sometimes using lehua, or macadamia nut. Then there's the house jam using local organic fruits such as gooseberry, tangerines, Surinam cherries, lilikoi, mango, and jaboticaba, otherwise known as Brazilian grape. It may be winter on the mainland, but who would know with these island delights? Wong shares her biscuit recipe that home cooks will find accessible, regardless of terroir.
Vanilla Sea Salt Cream Biscuit
By Chef Lee Anne Wong
yields 12 biscuits
4 c all-purpose flour
4 tbsp baking powder
3 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp salt
3 c heavy cream plus extra for wash
1 tsp vanilla paste or extract
1 beaten egg
Sea salt for finishing
Preheat oven to 375°. Blend dry ingredients. Mix vanilla with cream, before stirring into dry ingredients. Let sit for 3 minutes for moisture to soak up dry ingredients. Pat, but do not knead, until dough forms. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface, cut dough in half, stack the halves on top of each other, and repeat process four times to create layers. The final rolling should be 1.5 inches thick. Cut into to 12 equal squares. Brush with egg and cream wash. Sprinkle with sea salt. Bake at 375 ° for 12-15 minutes.
We'd like to wish Chef Wong a big "Mahalo nui loa" for a look inside her idea of paradise. Like her biscuit recipe? Pick up a copy of her cookbook Dumplings All Day Wong for a bit of a biscuit break. Thanks to Nadine Kam's 2014 video of Chef Wong's dumpling demonstration.

TED, as you probably know, is a global set of conferences owned by the private non-profit Sapling Foundation, under the slogan "ideas worth spreading" (Thanks Wikipedia).
The conferences, which are uploaded onto its Youtube Channel never fail to be thought-provoking and challenging of commonly held perceptions of the world. It was here on TED's Youtube Channel that I stumbled across a lecture called "Do Schools Kill Creativity".
The talk, given by oh-so eloquent education expert Sir Ken Robinson, put forward the provocative argument that, through our current system of education, "We are educating people out of their creativity".
Robinson explained that every education system in the world has the same hierarchy of subjects; Maths and Languages are at the top, Humanities subjects in the middle, and the Arts at the bottom. This system came about as a way to serve the needs of industrialism in terms of producing the best possible workers.
In this, the hierarchy is rooted in the idea that the most useful subjects needed for work are at the top. As a result, those subjects that are considered to be less useful, and therefore less important, fall by the wayside. Essentially education systems worldwide are not helping children to grow into their creativity, but instead to grow out of it.
This thought is a horrifying one. Our whole planet is operating under a system where, from the off, we are not seen as individuals whose talents, whether they be in dancing or in mathematics, have equal worth and merit. From our very birth we are conditioned into believing that we have to sacrifice our creative passions in order to get a job.
But here lies the problem. We as a society, are undergoing a constant process of academic inflation. A few years ago getting a degree meant getting a job. Now, with more and more people getting degrees, they no longer provide that same guarantee. Now, you need a Masters or a PhD.
Which is why things need to change. The current education system through which society is organised is tired and anachronistic, with its origins in the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century.
It is high time we had another of a different kind – a revolution in education. Like the way we have mined the planet of its resources, through our current system of education we have mined our brains of all of their academic nutrients.
What we have forgotten in the process is that our academic intelligence is not the only source of goodness; it is not the only commodity worth having. Our minds are rich in creativity; they are fertile vistas of imagination.
In a time where it is no longer possible to have the getting-a-degree-to-get-a-job philosophy, it is therefore crucial that we look to reorganizing our education system so that it stops stigmatizing the arts and starts opening up possibilities for more jobs in the creative fields.
And in light of recent work in cognitive neuroscience suggesting a connection between ADHD and creativity, this subject couldn't be more relevant. Intelligence isn't something that can be quantified. There are too many different ways in which someone can be intelligent.Some people may think through numbers and equations, but some think best when they are dancing and moving.
It is imperative that we re-shape our current educational system so that every type of intelligence is valued and no child's talents are left undiscovered. No one type of intelligence should be considered to be absolute, instead we should celebrate and facilitate their coexistence.
So, with that in mind, I'm off to learn some Spanish, and then dance some Salsa.

I have several photo shoots booked over the next month and I needed to go to the farm to scoop out some photo spots. I enlisted the help of Tiny and two of my nephews (who happen to be 2 years old and 1 year old) to help me find good photo spots for a yoga shoot I have coming up. I would tell the kids to smile and make a yoga pose. My two year old nephew would yell out "Yogo Butts!" and pose. It was very funny. My one year old nephew wasn't too sure what was going on and Tiny led the tour group by pulling the little ones in the wagon. Here are some photos of our journey. Mind you I didn't focus on perfect photography for this run through. I was focused on not loosing any of the kiddos, not letting them walk into the pond, get too close to the alpacas unsupervised, walking into puddle or hitting each other with sticks. I hope you enjoy the brief tour around the farm.
We found a Little Blue Heron at the pond. I've never seen one before. Thanks Debbie & TexWisGirl for the bird ID!
Tour guide Tiny "on your right are alpacas."
Yogo pose time.
We missed most of my favorite photo spots. I must admit the alpacas were quite a distraction. But we have a wonderful time so no complaints.

15 Years: Still Glowing and Growing
- We educate over 20,000 people annually through free events, exhibitions, demonstrations, classes, and residencies. That's over a quarter of a million individuals since opening!
- We have hosted artists from around the world including Australia, Canada, Czech Republic, Iran, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Philippines, Sweden, UK and many more countries.
About Glassblowing at PGC
- PGC melts 30,000 lbs. of glass annually.
- The composition of our glass is silica, soda ash, and lime. All of the glass in the furnace is clear so that each artist can start with a clean palette and add colors as desired.
- Colored glass is made by adding metals and metal oxides to clear glass. For example, manganese makes purple glass, copper produces either a red or turquoise blue glass, and gold will make a gorgeous (and expensive) cranberry red glass.
- The main tools used to create glass are heat, gravity, air, centrifugal force, and time.
- The basic designs of the stainless steel tools have remained unchanged since Egyptian times.
- Glassblowing is a team effort. It is possible to blow glass alone, but it is limiting in the complexities that can be accomplished.
- Glassblowing is very much like dancing with a live medium. An artist must be very smooth and learn to move at the pace of the glass.
- You may think that glassblowers must have strong lungs to blow glass. Actually, it only requires as much breath as blowing bubble gum, AS LONG AS THE GLASS IS HOT! The colder (less hot) the glass becomes, the more difficult it is to blow. (When glassblowers say "cold" they really mean 1,100˚ F.)
- The temperature of the furnace is 2,100˚ F. The glass is similar to the consistency of honey at this temperature. PGC has two 1,000 lb. furnaces that are powered by natural gas. The furnaces are on 24/7.
- The Glory Hole is a "reheating chamber" for the glass. The glass needs to be reheated frequently (about every 30 seconds) to remain malleable at upwards of 1,200˚ F. It is powered by natural gas and maintains a 3,000˚ F working temperature. The Glory Holes are only turned on as needed.
- The Annealers are kilns/ovens where finished pieces of glass are placed. The temperature is 925˚ F. When the workday is finished, a computer program will bring the temperature slowly down to room temperature. This process takes about 8-10 hours and allows the glass to cool slowly so it will not break. If this process does not occur slowly, stress will build up between the moving glass molecules, causing cracks and instability.
Glass Before Steel
- Pittsburgh was famous for glass before steel. It was known as "America's Glass City." The city's strategic location on an inland river system made it an ideal location for the manufacturing of this fragile product.
- In 1902, there were over 150 glass factories in Western PA, Eastern Ohio, and West Virginia. By 1920, this area produced 80% of the glass in the United States.
- Pittsburgh-produced glass has been used as fine tableware for U.S. presidents, as tiles for the walls of New York City's great tunnels, as searchlights at the Panama Canal, and in street lights and lamps around the world.
Green Building LEED "Gold" Certification
- The building is a "Green Building" with a Gold LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification.
- This building was originally a Studebaker dealership. Over the years, it has also served as a mattress distributor, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, a detention center, and the East-End Food Co-Op.
- Recycled materials were used whenever possible, including doors, windows, bricks, and sinks.
- Portions of our energy come from wind power and waste heat from the glass furnaces is used to heat the building during the winter months. The building also utilizes a lot of natural light as well as fresh air intakes.

Dr. Walter Brueggemann is one of the most influential contemporary theologians. His dozens of books and hundreds of articles have shaped American sermons, as Brueggemann's work — especially on the Old Testament and the Psalms — has been widely utilized by seminaries and pastors across the country.
Recently, I caught up with Dr. Brueggemann during a lectureship series sponsored by the Department of Religious Studies and Philosophy at the University of Findlay.
What's your main message for young church leaders today?
We in the United States live in a deathly social context that's marked by consumerism and militarism and the loss of the common good. Younger people that are committed to the gospel have to think carefully about how to critique that dominant system of military consumerism and how to imagine alternative forms of life that are not defined by those corrosive pressures.
That's a very demanding job, but I suspect that the gospel at its best has always been a summons to think about how the world can be practiced differently.
Can you give some examples of a military consumerist mentality in the church?
That ideological system causes us to be very afraid, to regard other people as competitors, or as threats, or as rivals. It causes us to think of the world in very frightened and privatistic forms.
The gospel very much wants us to think in terms of a neighborhood, in terms of being in solidarity with other people, in sharing our resources, and of living out beyond ourselves. The gospel contradicts the dominant values of our system, which encourages self-protection and self-sufficiency at the loss of the common good. The church is in some ways a reflection of those dominant values.
What are some concrete ways we can be neighborly?
A paradigmatic example is the conversation that we've had about healthcare, the Affordable Care Act. Providing healthcare for all of our citizens is a mandate for any workable society. Our resistance reflects our kind of privatized notion that everyone ought to get what they can pay for – and if they can't pay for it, they ought not to get it. And [that] identifies and fosters a kind of disadvantaged class that is excluded from all of the resources of society.
You can watch while the differences between people who have a lot and people who have a little or nothing — that gap grows and grows. You can't have a viable society if you organize the economy that way. You can take it in terms of healthcare delivery, education, or in terms of housing or any of the social goods. If you do not have a practice of neighborliness, society becomes unlivable.
Does it bother you that more conservative evangelicals might label such ideas as communist or socialist?
Of course, to beat each other up with labels like capitalism or communism or socialism is simply a waste of time.
The real issue is neighborliness. There are many ways to practice neighborliness — it requires the private sector being involved, the corporations, the government, the church. Everybody has a stake in maintaining a viable neighborliness, and to get caught up in abstract discussion about those kind of labels takes energy away from what our real concerns ought to be.
You talked about the poor and healthcare. What about the LGBTQ community, especially when people use the Old Testament to argue against that community?
The discussion needs to start with what it means to be made in the image of God. The confession of Christian faith is that all of God's human creatures are made in the image of God. That means that they are to be treated with dignity, offered maintenance and security, as is necessary. There's almost no use arguing over biblical text.
The only thing that will change people's minds about this is getting to know people who happen to be gay or lesbian or bisexual, and what you discover is that they're people just like us. To overcome our fears, I think it is basically fear, means getting to know people and to see that they are not a threat. There may be people with those sexual differences whom we like or whom we don't like, but they're all made in the image of God. To stereotype them negatively, it seems to me, is a complete misunderstanding of Christian faith.
I know those texts are in the Bible, but the Bible is a dynamic tradition that's always on the move to new truth. If you track that out, probably the ultimate statement about that is made by Paul in Galatians 3, that in Christ there is neither male nor female, Greek nor Barbarian, slave or free. We are all one in Christ. And what we know in the gospel is that God's love reaches toward all of God's creatures. To sort them out in terms of who are the deserving and the qualified and who are not is imposing a judgment on human reality that simply cannot be done.
But some Christians fear disobeying God when it comes to LGBTQ issues. Because of what the Bible says, they fear that they are compromising the gospel.
Well, what we do is to pick and choose things out of the Bible that conform to our fears. It's not a matter of obeying the Bible — it's about obeying the gospel. The gospel is about God's saving love that wants to restore all of humanity to full communion. To reach back to an ancient text that has now been corrected by the revelation of God in Jesus Christ is simply a bad maneuver and poor methodology and theologically irresponsible. Those texts are not the determinative texts.
The texts that are determinative are those that talk about the love of God that has been shown to us in Jesus. We can't compromise that.
What do you say to people who have a problem reconciling the God of the Old Testament and Jesus?
The question is an important one. It is a difficult and complex one. But I believe that running through the Old Testament and through the New Testament is an overriding question about the faithfulness or the fidelity of God — whether God keeps promises and whether God can be trusted. There are many articulations of that in the Old Testament. There are many articulations of it in the New Testament.
The attempt to contrast the Old and New Testament and to say they are different Gods and all that kind of business — I just think that's too easy. The whole interpretive process is much more complex than that. I want to resist such easy conclusions.
Have you found God to be faithful?
The answer is yes. I have found God to be faithful, and I have found it to be a big question in my life about whether God is faithful. It is a central theological preoccupation of my life, as it is of the Christian tradition. In some ways, our defining human vocation [is] to be preoccupied with questions of fidelity.

Are The People On Your Christmas List Knit Worthy?
I think that all of us knitters and crocheters are familiar with the feeling— the feeling you get when you excitedly gift one of your handmade creations only to discover that the receiver is an unappreciative a$%*#… sorry for the profanity LOL, but you know that's what you're thinking, right?
Oh! Those stitches that you lovingly worked till the wee hours of the night, as you dreamed of the smile and look of surprise on the receivers face as they gleefully unwrapped their knitted gift. Alas, your dream is quickly dashed when you see the fake smile on their face and they say, "Gee, thanks what is it? Or, "Thanks, I'll give it to my dog as a chew toy".
OK, so those scenarios are slight exaggerations, but we have all gifted one of our handmade goods only to see the lack of appreciation on the receivers face. Hence, the creation of the saying, knit worthy.
These unappreciative receivers do not seem to understand that we toil away hours knitting as a form of love and caring— each stitch is like a little yarn hug.
So, this Christmas I want to stop all yarn artists from giving their wonderful creations to non-knit worthy recipients.
Here is my (rather lengthy) definition of a knit worthy person. Take careful notes, as this is the only type of person who truly deserves your knitted, crocheted or handmade gifts this Christmas:
- Topping my list: A kind-hearted person who almost always has a smile on their face.
- All people in the professions of: nursing, paramedics, army, firefighting, police work (see the theme? People who give their lives for others are always worthy of knitted goods.)
- Homeless people
- Sweet nieces, nephews, sisters, aunts, uncles (notice the clause 'Sweet')
- Your Mum. Yes your mother will ALWAYS appreciate your handmade goods and cherish them just as she cherished your artwork in kindergarten.
- Your Dad. If you have a Dad like mine, then he belongs in the same category as your Mum.
- Your husband or boyfriend. Careful with this one— knitted gifts to unappreciative boyfriends have been the cause of many breakups. Personally, my hubby is the best hubby in the world but he is not knit worthy. Why? Well, he loves that I enjoy my craft, but he just doesn't get it.
- Your Pet. Yup, your pet will always remain a loving, knit worthy companion.
- Your Grandmother or Grandfather
I think that is it. Who is on your knit worthy list? Have you ever had the disappointment of giving to a non-knit worthy recipient? If so, how did you react/feel?

One of the places I visit frequently, is the blog of my friend Maria. This is the link if you want to spend a nice time watching her beautiful projects. It was then, while admiring her creations , that I saw the beautiful pumpkins she performed.
I decided then, that I was going to do some as well for my home. I can tell you one thing, and it is that after having looked at many sites online for a good tutorial, the tutorial that Maria used to make her pumpkins, is the best!!! Look how nice result, and are really easy to make.
If you want to see the beautiful pumpkins that Maria has made, they are here.
In her post you will find the link to the tutorial.
The only thing I did different was to add a few wood beads, here I show the photos
that I took, while I was doing the pumpkins.
Meanwhile I continue with my preparations for my next show, I'm taking pictures and
then will come the tutorials that I will share with you soon.
I'm linking this to Skip To My Lou.
Happy Hallloween!!
Have a happy sewing day!!!

Widowed husbands are frequently used tropes in action films. It delivers empathy quickly and without wasting a lot of screentime. However, what Liam Neeson does with The Grey is more than A-B-C screenwriting. No shoe-horned breakdown scenes are inserted forcefully into the narrative for the audience to get to know Ottway (Neeson). In the midst of carnal mayhem, he clutches a small picture of his wife in his wallet before he faces what seem like insurmountable odds.
He leads these men through the snow, through the wilderness, through the darkness. That the story doesn't fall into laughable territory suggests the level of gravitas Neeson possesses. In each battle with the elements and its inhabitants, the slowly dying embers of his life crackle to life a little more.
An honest reflection of grief in a film that was marketed as anything but. This is not a performance that garners awards attention, but it should.

In a Mendocino Town
'I think the world needs something new and is waiting for it to happen,' says II Big drummer Ken Ingels. 'I believe there is going to be a comeback of sounds like the ones classic rock had to offer, because it's so close to life as we see it still. With some luck and hard work, we could be it.' And the best part is he's right. II Big is the sort of band that you can easily imagine throngs of fans singing and dancing along to, soaking in the classic rock vibe that these guys play like brand new. As evidence, II Big is currently offering it's fourth full-length album, In A Mendocino Town. The songs exhibit a sort of timelessness that makes them familiar yet refreshing. They recall the raw energy that classic rock fans have been enjoying for years, and yet they are filled with a sense of energy and vitality that makes them seem as though you have never heard anything like this. However they do it, the II Big formula has proven itself to be successful over the course of numerous releases, extensive touring, and a steady flow of praise from both fans and critics. Along the way, II Big has shared stages with such classic rock favorites as Foghat, Blue Oyster Cult, Loverboy, Grand Funk Railroad, Joe Walsh, REO Speedwagon, Ted Nugent, Jeff Healey, Creedence Clearwater Revisited, and Styx. But they are far from done, and the band will be playing a variety of shows in support of it's lastest effort. This is jump in the car and rock down the highway music. If you like classic rock sound with a shot of country and blues, you will love this. Is their sound II Big? Nope, it's just right. MusicDish.com.

Hanging Off The Edge of a Cliffby Cameron on December 22, 2008
Again, this is one of those strip ideas that started off as a quick silly line of text and I just assumed I could turn into a comic. Oh, hubris!
I thought it would be funny if every strip used the same artwork, with just different speech or thought bubbles every day. If you think that reusing artwork is an easy way to save time, think again. It's a massive pain! I kept having to redraw stuff and work with fifty different layers to handle all the different thought bubbles and different characters…agh never again, never again!
Still, this one worked out to be a lot of fun. I have no idea how she got there. I have no idea if she'll ever get out of this predicament. I do know that she's only in four strips this week since there'll be a special Christmas Edition of Funny Webcomic on Thursday!
Which reminds me – hope you're having a great holiday! Only a day and a half of work to muddle through before I get to just stay home and draw more comiiiiics whooo hoo!!

We've been having quite the week here on the east coast,with Mother Nature! Just when we thought Spring was here, Mother Nature decided to surprise us with a blizzard.
Since we are snowed in at the moment, I thought it would be the perfect time to make some birdie muffins for my Quaker parrot.
This homemade recipe is something I learned to make from the breeder I got my parrot from. It's super fast and easy to make, you can store the birdie muffins in the freezer and defrost as needed.
My Quaker parrot, Iris, loves her birdie muffins! She will ask for them when I haven't made a batch for awhile. Unfortunately, she's very camera and video shy, so I can't get her to talk when she knows I'm recording.
I did capture this video of her getting excited about the fact that I was making her favorite treat!
Do you have parrots that like to dance? Sometimes, Iris will dance when the radio is on. Her favorite pastime is deconstructing and rebuilding the toys in her cage. She also enjoys foraging, as do most parrots.
This recipe for Birdie Muffins is perfect for providing a foraging activity for your feathered friend.
Homemade Birdie Muffins
- Jiffy Cornbread Mix
- 1 Egg (including shell)
- 1/3 cup Milk
- 2 ripe Bananas
- 1 cup chopped Strawberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/4 cup uncooked pasta of your choice

17-05-2015 FPV (First Person View) Syma X8W coming soon CLICK THIS LINK
10-05-2015: Screen Grab from Video Syma X8C, Helmet Mount attaching the Xiaomi Yi Camera. First time flight by my Daughters Partner Jackson. The whole Kit is under $200 this is a No Brainer!
15-2015 If you think it is impossible to capture great images from a $100 Drone think again.
The Drone Flyers Team are so pleased to have just received the Syma X8C Venture RC Quadcopter courtesy of Banggood so we can undertake extensive testing and evaluation. Before we undertake our detailed review we would like to stress that this Model is NOT suitable for beginners. Yes it will support your GoPro or the great XiaoMi Yi Quality Low Price Action Camera CLICK THIS LINK but if you have not had previous experience flying RC Quadcopters or Camera Drones this is NOT for you.
As we do NOT regard this RC Quadcopter as a Toy and the very size of it could cause safety issues we will fly this model whenever the weather permits and evaluate it accordingly. As Low Priced RC Quadcopters become bigger, faster and heavier quick unboxing and first flight reviews are not enough. It is only by flying Quadcopter models of this size on a regular basis you will get a true picture of their capabilities and pitfalls. We will publish the very best unboxing, flight reviews and flying tips we can find so if you are thinking of buying or have already bought a Syma X8C Venture RC Quadcopter bookmark this post as we will update it on a regular basis.
What you will get with the Syma X8C is a super stable, wind resistant large Brushed Motor RC Quadcopter that will give you a decent 12 minutes of flying Time, It is durable well made and relatively simple to maintain. The range control is approximately 200 meters and it contains a low voltage alarm system with Headless Mode functionality. The 2 MP camera is not the best but this can be altered by attaching a XiaoMi Yi Action camera or Mobius. The Yaw rate is not that fast and you will have to be patient while the Quadcopter battery charges
This Quadcopter is Not Recommended for 360 flips, Hand Launching or Flying Indoors
Don't take notice of all you read in the manual or on some website. Yes It is possible to do 360 flips, hand launch or fly this model indoors as stated on some sites, Drone Flyers however suggest you refrain from these treating this model as a toy and do NOT attempt any of the above, give the Syma X8C the respect a model of this size and power demands. This is a RC Quadcopter that can lift Action Cameras and take Aerial Photography it is NOT for fast stunt flying and showing off so treat it accordingly and ENJOY 🙂

Big Quadcopter Low Price
This is one of the biggest and best RC Quadcopters you can buy for around $100 and the version we have received has a 2 MP camera on board. Syma will be releasing a version with an updated 5 MP Camera both will be great for practicing your Aerial Photography skills. We feel however that over the next few months numerous modifications will appear because by attaching the new Mobius Wide Angle C Lens Camera CLICK THIS LINK or the XiaoMi Yi Action Camera CLICK THIS LINK you will have a really versatile Low Priced Camera Drone. You can't expect all the bells and whistles you would get from a RC Quadcopter five times the price. You won't get GPS or altitude hold but for me that doesn't matter at all. All I want is something that I can take out of the box, effortlessly set up, take off and capture decent Aerial Photography and Video.
If you are looking to enter the Professional Aerial Photography business then start with a smaller Micro or Mini sized Quadcopter to learn your flying skills, then buy the Syma X8C RC Quadcopter it makes complete sense. Once you are completely confident of handling a 350 sized model then get yourself a DJI Phantom 3 Professional or similar CLICK THIS LINK
Syma X8C Venture RC Quadcopter CLICK THIS LINK
Aerial Photography Learning Tools
Moving up to flying RC Quadcopter of this size can be quite a daunting experience. The Syma X8C Camera Drone has completely different flight characteristics than the smaller Micro or Mini Quadcopters. If you want a big fast flyer with plenty of agility then buy yourself a JJRC H16 X6 Tarantula Quadcopter CLICK THIS LINK forget the 5 MP Camera Drone version there is too much Jello (Camera Shake). The JJRC H16 RC Quadcopter is most probably the best low priced big Drone Flyer ever produced, it is absolutely stunning to fly. If you feel the Syma X8C is too big for you to handle or you wish to buy something easily transportable then go for the JJRC H12C RC Quadcopter with a 5 MP camera CLICK THIS LINK. The 5 Mega Pixel Drone Camera on this Quadcopter is the finest you can get on a Quadcopter of this price. $74.99.
The Syma X8C Venture however will lift High Definition Action Cameras with ease and we will no doubt see a proliferation of Gimbals suitable for this model. You will simply capture far better images and videos using the XiaoMi Yi or Mobius Action Cameras
News has just reached us that Banggood have already started to develop a Gimbal for the XiaoMi Yi Camera and this quality Action Camera attached to the Syma X8C Venture RC Quadcopter is a marriage made in Quadcopter heaven! I've flown Syma Quadcopters for over a year now and the Syma X5C RC Quadcopter CLICK THIS LINK is still one of my favorites. Syma Quadcopters are well built, always good quality, easy to maintain and easy to set up and fly.
Unboxing and setting up the Syma X8C RC Quadcopter
Syma X8C Venture RC Quadcopter CLICK THIS LINK
When the Syma X8C Venture RC Quadcopter arrived from Banggood it showed no sign of damage whatsoever, we have received over 100 packages from Banggood over the last 18 months and all have been extremely well packaged. The box was much larger that we are used to reflecting the size of the Quadcopter inside. Like any of the Syma products we have received putting it together was effortless and accomplished in a matter of 15 minutes. The powerful 7.4 volt Quadcopter Lipo battery was put on charge and while it was charging we studied the manual to make sure we fully understood all the functions of the Quadcopter and the RC Transmitter.
Weight of the Syma X8C Venture
We carried out some weight tests and the Syma X8C Venture RC Quadcopter weighed approximately 450 grams without the propeller blade guards, Lipo battery and Camera. The Lipo battery weighed 104 grams, the Camera 27 Grams and the four propeller guards 22 grams so with everything on the Syma X8C came in at just over 600 grams.

Safety First the Syma X8C Venture is NOT a Toy
Please Note: This is a big RC Quadcopter and could cause damage if you lose control and on no account should you fly it unless you are fully aware of all the functionality and are confident of controlling it. Make sure when flying the Syma X8C Venture you do it in a large open space well away from people, pets and buildings. Always fly low and fly slow to start with, flying Quadcopters of this size take a fair amount of skill and practice. The Syma X8C Venture's propeller blades are all the same color and this can cause problems with flight orientation. The headless mode will help with this issue but it's not foolproof. Just use common sense and don't fly too far away. There are some great videos on YouTube that will guide you through flight orientation and reverse flying. Practice these flying tips using your smaller Micro or Mini sized Quadcopters before attempting them with the Syma X8C Venture.
Drone Flyers First Flight of The Syma X8C Venture
28-04-2015:We tested the Syma X8C Camera Drone through a few battery charges today in a light breeze. This Quadcopter was extremely stable and hovers exceptionally well. We did a quick test of the 2 MP Drone camera and found it very disappointing. This RC Quadcopter is made for Aerial Photography so why bother with putting a cheap camera with it, we would rather pay a few dollars more and get something half decent. It not an issue for us however as we will use this camera for testing purposes and then put on the Mobius Wide Angle C Lens or the XiaoMi Yi Action Camera. Even without the Camera this RC Quadcopter offers exceptional value for money and the Orange color works perfect with a blue sky backdrop. The Yaw rate is not that fast but it is smooth again lending itself to the capture of decent images and videos.
29-04-2015 Weather is windy with rain today but we are determined to use this great Quadcopter to capture decent Video and images so we have been working on attaching the Mobius Action Camera it. The first version is little rough but we are sure this is definitely the way forward with the Syma X8C. Hopefully if the weather gets better later we can shoot some quick videos. All you need is some felixible 8mm tubing, 30mm for each side, some 8mm dowling and some insulation tape. We will test the pro-type then rework it accordingly. The same set up should work fine for the XiaoMi Yi.
Quick Video of the Mobius attached to the Syma X8C (Please note this is the standard Mobius and we will be testing it with the Wide Angle C Lens Mobius as soon as the weather permits)
Please note this was shot in windy conditions so we were very reserved with our flying not wishing to damage the Syma X8C in any way. It lifted the Mobius with ease and although it was quite gusty the short Video shows that capturing decent Video and Photographs from the Syma X8C is totally possible.

Syma X8C Features
With an attached 2 Mega Pixel Drone Camera the Syma X8C can take Aerial vVdeos and Aerial Photographs.
It has intelligent orientation control (IOC) that is triggered by activating the headless mode function.
It is said that the 6-axis gyroscopic flight control system allows the Syma X8C to be hand launched but this is something we would NOT recommend you do with a Drone of this size. To attempt a hand launch with the Syma X8C is pure stupidity just don't even consider it.
The 6-Axis gyroscopic flight board delivers strong aerial stability and stronger wind resistance however the Syma X8C takes practice to control.
2.4 technology is adopted for anti-interference so even more than one Quadcopter is flying at the same time the radio control systems will not interfere with each other.
We recommend this RC Quadcopter for outdoor flying only and it includes a 4 Channel digital proportional Remote Control system.
Function: Video/Photograph/Raise & Down/Forwards & Backwards/Left & Right Turning/Left & Right Flying/Hovering and 360 Degree Rotating (Again NOT recommended with a Quadcopter of this size)

Just so you know, I haven't completely fallen off the face of the planet, but I have been hiding in the shadows. I've been in a major funk for some time now and have been trying to get out of it, although nothing seems to be working. I haven't felt like reading, writing, crafting… pretty much anything that has an "ing" at the end of it. I have been designing a book cover for a nutritionist who is marketing her nutrition plan. She's publishing an e-book and a softcover complete with worksheets, etc. So I have that keeping me going for the moment.
Honestly, other than that I have been obsessed with Candy Crush, Candy Blast Mania and Farm Family. I don't know why, but I'm drawn to match 3 apps, lol. And I started playing The Secret World again. And lately, my daughter has had me trying out different games on the Xbox/PS3. I played Dead Island for like 12 hours straight the other night. Apparently, living in a fantasy world is the only thing that gives me any joy.
I need to go back to the doctor, but I keep putting that off. It's come to the point where leaving the house literally gives me fits of anxiety. Unless I can drive through, the thought of walking in anywhere where there's people urks me. I don't think it's so much the beginnings of Agoraphobia as it is being embarrassed of what I look like. Not to mention that even walking from room to room kills my back. Everything does. Even bending over to pick something up sends pain shooting up my spine. It's a catch 22. Exercising is the only way to get better, but the physical pain from exercising prevents me from doing it. The only thing that helped was when I walked around the pool (because of the weightless factor) but now the pool's been taken down until next season and I can't afford to pay for any gym pool access.
ANYWAY, this is just me ranting so I'll stop for now. Just wanted to let anyone who was wondering where I was know that I'm still alive and kicking. I miss the weekly writings, hopefully I'll get back into it soon.

I'm not sure why, but lately I've been shopping with my inspiration hat on, and seem only interested in pieces that literally take my breath away. Like gasp out loud. When this happens, I get a feeling in my gut and heart that it must be in my wardrobe. Someway, somehow. Luckily I just purchased one of the items above, the Motel Becka Skirt in Mountain. It reminds me of Tahoe, one of the most inspiring places to be. (I think this whole inspiring thing came from me cracking down and starting to write once again, so I automatically have my writing hat on all the time, constantly looking for inspiration.)
These pieces are probably some of the most beautiful things I have seen. There are some things holding me back from purchasing them - the floral top from Mikkat Market is only sold in large; the floral platform is not practical for me for everyday; the floral denim from Joe's Jeans is way out of my price range; and lastly, the floral flatform my fiance hates. But still, each piece holds a significance even to just simply look at. The pansy denim reminds me of when my mother would plant pansies as it was her favorite flower when I was growing up; in a way they symbolize her, and I would kill to have them on my legs as we speak.
Do you have inspiring pieces that take your breath away when you look at them?

Hey all,
just wanted to talk about my summer so far, I have been pretty busy lately with one appointment after another (sometimes I wonder if I'm really on vacation lol) I have also been doing volunteer work as part of a program to let me try out diffrerent jobs. I volunteered at a daycare in Raleigh which was fun. the kids I was with were ages 1-2 and then 4-5. the kids were really fun and were very sweet. I was there on their outdoor water day so I got to participate in the water gun/sprinkler fun while I was there. I also was aparently the popular target in the watergun fight (LOL )
that was fun. so between appointments, volunteering, and being lazy in front of the computer not much else has gone on around here. well, I'm gonna go get some breakfast (gettin' hungry now!)
Bye for now,
