9 Overall
Hernando de Soto's ideas cannot and should not be ignored. This book will open many eyes to the nature of capital. The author suggests a radically simple yet enormously challenging way of bringing the world's impoverished billions onto the track of capitalism and development: give them legal property rights to what they "own." The author's intriguing case is that a lack of property rights - not a lack of entrepreneurial zeal or competence - stymies development in the former East Bloc and Third World countries. This seemed to be a shockingly original notion when the author first propounded it in his bestseller The Other Path, and it still does. If the book has a flaw, getAbstract.com warns, it is that the author's undisguised missionary ardor sometimes makes one wonder whether he is merely a zealot. Even if he were one, the book would merit reading.
In this summary, you will learn
- Why people in the old East Bloc and in the Third World are poor even though they have extralegal assets; and
- What it would take to legalize and document their possessions so they could use them as capital, thus empowering their economic progress.

1 year agoThere's a mistake in the opening paragraph: de Soto's original book was called The Other Path (not The Other Patch).
It was a deliberate reference to Shining Path in Peru.

As summer quickly approaches, I find myself daydreaming of going fishing on my dad's lake. He bought the "farm" when I was in kindergarten and I spent countless hours there each summer running free, learning to fish in our lake, and discovering who I am. My best memories of growing up are in boat, listening to my dad's stories, with a pole in my hand. I look back now and realize that, by teaching me to fish, my dad ultimately taught me how to be a successful teacher.
Before I even really began fishing, my dad was explaining to me the types of fish in our lake. He showed me pictures and explained to me that some types of fish hang out at the edge of the lake and others usually stayed at the very bottom of the deepest parts, where the water was dark and cool. He bought me my first fishing pole and made be practice casting in the front yard with a weight on the line instead of a hook. I would stand for hours in the front yard casting the weight he tied onto my fishing line. I don't think I ever hit the bucket target he set out for me, but I got pretty close after a few huge misses.
On the nights before we went fishing he would make sure we laid out our fishing clothes and had the cooler ready to be packed. We always went to bed a little early on those nights so we could wake up early in the morning, rested and ready to go. Getting up early was never easy for me, but I came to understand that it really made a difference to get up and get going before the sun was at its peak. Being a red-headed pale child, the sun was not my friend. It only took a couple of times of getting burnt badly and I learned that during the late morning and early afternoon, I needed a break from its harsh rays.
After we arrived at the "farm," my dad would sit with me on each fishing trip and look through my tackle box. He taught me that you need to be prepared and have different hooks, baits, and lures, because you never know what the fish may be biting on that day. I learned quickly that, although you needed several options, the big flashy lures, baits, and accessories quickly made my tackle box too heavy to carry.
Once out on the boat my dad would watch the water for a few minutes before he would row us to the perfect spot. He made sure I baited my hooks, set my bobbers, and had the correct amount of weight on my pole. He watched me cast and encouraged me to be patient when I did not get a bite on my line within the first few minutes. He worked with me time after time as I excitedly jerked my bait out a fish mouths when I did get bites. Eventually, I learned to be patient and set the hook so that I could reel in my catches. I remember quite a few "monsters" that fought me hard and, when I finally got them into the boat, they were tiny little fish that seemed so weak. Big or small, my dad cheered each time I proudly held up the fish I caught.
Occasionally, we would jug fish using chicken liver for bait. Jug fishing was always exciting because we usually caught big catfish that were always interesting to me. I remember the first time we caught something other than a fish on our jug – it was a snapping turtle. I lifted the jug out of the water expecting a catfish and saw an angry snapping turtle. I called for my dad and he came to the end of the boat and together we got the turtle to the shore where he could be dealt with in safe manner.
Not every trip we took to the lake was successful. Some days, no matter what we used for bait or where we went on the water, the fish would not bite. My dad would take those opportunities to admire the beauty all around us. We would look at plants, clouds in the sky, bugs floating on the water, and logs that had been in the water for many years. We never wasted time focusing on a bad day fishing because my dad always helped me focus on the beauty around us.
Year after year my dad took me fishing. As I grow older, I know a lot of success I find within my classrooms is rooted in those trips.
What I learned……
1. I learned to get to know my students: it is important to understand their likes, dislikes, how they feel they learn best and what their family is like. Students work best for teachers who take the time to understand and care about them.
2. I learned to be prepared to offer students more than one option in demonstrating knowledge of materials. It is important to be flexible, what works today with one student may not work tomorrow with another student.
3. I learned that practicing and being prepared will help me prevent wasting time and allow me to teach more effective lessons. Being prepared allows me to model responsibility and a good work ethic to my students.
4. I learned that teaching requires me to use a variety of teaching methods.
5. I have learned to focus on research based and student focused methods, instead of wasting my time trying to learn about many different approaches that are not practical for me to use. After all, having a variety of teaching methods is a wonderful thing, but having too many methods will confuse and frustrate students and myself.
6. I learned to observe my students and celebrate successes no matter how large or small they may seem to me. Every single student has something to celebrate. It is my job to help them feel successful and celebrate their accomplishments.
7. I learned to ask for help in dealing with students, parents, and even co-workers when I was in over my head.
8. I have had to work with many challenging people throughout my career. I aim to solve my daily trials by being honest and open with communication, if that fails I am not afraid to ask a colleague or administrator for help.
9. I learned that, even on the tough days, there are plenty of blessings around me to focus on. All I need to do is look around and change my focus to the students who are all around me in order to see those blessings.
Thanks dad for teaching me to find success in my classrooms.

Why Africa, why now? North African Risks Assessed at US Armed Forces Seminar in Italy
I will be addressing a number of high ranking US military officers and government officials at a special seminar on North African risks to be held at an – as yet undisclosed to me – location near Vicenza, Italy under the auspices of AFRICOM, the US African Military Command. As many readers may know the US Armed Forces maintain one of their most important European bases in Vicenza. The four day event, which begins in earnest on March 12, shall address the present situation in such countries as Algeria, Libya, Mali, Niger, Mauritania, Morocco, Chad and others affected by the events stemming from the 'Arab Spring' and developing now with the war in Mali. It's not all 'bad news'; the seminar – and certainly in the case of my presentations – will also touch on Africa's great opportunities and its fast changing socio-economic scenario. As many readers will know, I am rather 'bullish' on Africa. My optimism was further confirmed when I heard Robert Friedland address the Mining Africa event at PDAC this past week. He was convincing in sharing his optimism while appearing sincerely 'convinced', himself. I will be focusing on Libya and the aftermath of the collapse of Qadhafi.
I lived in Libya and worked as a UN officer there in the mid-1990's and I also pursued advanced graduate studies on the subject of North Africa, often appearing on TV to help explain or interpret events in Africa and the Middle East. The fact that the seminar is being held now shows that the US is increasingly interested in Africa both because of issues related to international security and its huge economic potential in the next decades. We have paid considerable attention to African issues, offering a similar range of aspects in my analysis. I am clearly very honored to have been invited; I just wish I knew where I was going, as I have not been told…everything; it seems, as I look and fill out at my supplied 'Anti-Terrorism Plan' form some aspects are CLASSIFIED. I've always liked 007 James Bond, 007 movies and for the first time since I was called a spy by several of my Libyan UN colleagues, I am hearing the famous John Barrie composed tune in my head.

Why Africa, why now?
Africa is the continent and the market with the world's youngest population (average age is 24). In 2050 its population is expected to reach about two billion (compared to 1.6 and 1.4 million for India and China). Africa can also expect to experience the most intense change in the population's consumption habits and demographic distribution, such that 63% of the population will be urban – the majority is still rural now. Some half a billion Africans in the next 30 years should experience income increases that will open up a burgeoning middle class, demanding new products. The fast spreading use of Mobile telephony over the past decade offers a valuable example of this trend. Since 1990, when mobile phone usage was negligible at best in Africa, today, over 45% of the population relies on one. There is more access to internet, leading to an increasingly more informed and educated African society. There is more Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in both the telecommunications market and other sectors. And then of course there is mining, which is one of principal factors accounting for FDI. Africa has an abundance of oil (mainly in the western-Saharan Africa), key minerals and materials necessary to support new technologies and food production (potash & phosphate). Nevertheless, for all of Africa's opportunities there are many risks, both economic and socio-political.
There is high inflation; there is a want of infrastructure in both transportation and telecommunications; there is a high degree of corruption in the vast majority of countries and there is an excessive bureaucracy that is required in many cases to establish a business. Then there is the issue of democracy; in this area there are some pleasant surprises, even if Africa is home to about half of the world's authoritarian regimes. This can sometimes offer stability but it also creates risk of unrest and revolt such as the events of the so-called 'Arab Spring'. This instability risk is one of the main reasons why, especially in uncertain economic times, many investors choose to bet on economies whose organizational structures provide more stability and transparency. Undoubtedly, a change in the socio-political situation would enable Africa to better develop its potential, and take advantage of their status as a future emerging continent.
The economic outlook for the continent hinges on many factors beyond expectations. A worsening of the crisis in the Eurozone would cause a global slowdown and a more pessimistic scenario due to less FDI and less aid. A worsening of the crisis in Europe have a direct impact on countries dependent on the European market – including North Africa and West Africa, but also South Africa and some countries in Africa East such as Kenya. Tourism would also be affected in these regions and in countries such as Cape Verde, Mauritius and Seychelles. Declining commodity prices reduce income African countries exporting oil and minerals. A worsening of the crisis in Europe also hit other advanced and emerging economies, giving a second setback to African exports to these destinations. A crisis, whatever it is, would prompt a rise in the price of gold, which would help African producers to offset some of their losses. These are risks to consider, even if some of the world's fastest growing economies are increasingly shifting to Africa. The resource-rich countries have been the main beneficiaries of investments in Africa and if a new global crisis would result in a collapse of the current flows are again likely to be affected. But in the medium and long term, the growing demand for oil and other commodities should continue to attract funds to these countries. In addition, the improvement of the economic and political stability should make African countries more attractive.

Michael Clark Proves That (20/10 Vision) Does Exist In The Basketball World
If you don't know Michael Clark then it's about time you get...
Boston's starting five combined for 103 of the team's 106 total points in Game 5 when the Celtics barely got by the Pistons 106-102. Celtics Nation is hopeful that Kendrick Perkins can have the career game that he had in Game 5 when he provided the Celtics with energy early in the game, helping Boston get off to a great start.
Perkins, who scored 18 points on 8-for-11 from the field, also grabbed a game-high 16 rebounds, including three offensive rebounds and eight total rebounds in the opening frame, and recorded two blocks. Big Perk may prove to be the X-factor in this series.
The 6-foot-10 center, who is in his fifth year in the League, has been shooting at a 75% clip from the field in the last three games (18-for-24). "Perkins was great on the glass," said Detroit coach Flip Saunders on Wednesday.
"Perkins is eating us up. The games that they've won, he's had big games. He's played well for them as far as on the glass."
"We talked about (rebounding) before the game. They destroyed us last game," said Celtics coach Doc Rivers. "(Antonio) McDyess had seven offensive rebounds on his own. Coming into this series that was the number two thing that we felt we had to do to win this series. Number one was pressure; ball pressure."
"So we talked about it, and Perk went out and did it, and I thought that freed everyone else. He was sensational tonight, played with great energy. That's three games in a row that Kendrick Perkins has been absolutely phenomenal."
"No one saw it the last game because we lost it, but he was fantastic in that game, as well, with his energy. It was just good. The rebounding was huge for us tonight."
"I said I was going to be aggressive offensively, said Big Perk. "I just said I was going to play with a lot of energy. I knew our Big Three veteran guys, I know this opportunity don't come much, and I knew if I was up in age, up in my 30s, and a young fellow was right there I'd want him to go all out for me, too. My thing is I'm going to leave it out there on the court, for myself, for my teammates and for everybody."
Rebounding will continue to be a huge factor in the outcome of the series. Currently, the Celtics have outrebounded the Pistons in all but one game of this series. Boston tied Detroit with 37 rebounds in Game 1.
Despite scoring 25 points on 8-for-14 shooting, Detroit guard Rip Hamilton's injured himself in the fourth quarter of Game 5. The Pistons may have to turn to rookie Rodney Stuckey to guard Ray Allen, who may have shot his way out of his slump.
Prior to him scoring a Game 5-high 29 points (9-for-15 from the field, 5-for-6 from the deep end, and a perfect 6-for-6 from the charity stripe), Mr. "He Got Game" was only shooting 38% from the field. However, Allen got hot in the third quarter of Wednesday's game, as he scored 16 points in the third frame, including three shots from three-point territory.
While Detroit was staging a comeback after starting the fourth quarter with a 13-point deficit, Sugar Ray nailed a huge shot from just inside the three-point line to give Boston a 102-99 cushion with 1:02 remaining in the game (84-71). Allen then hit two crucial free throws with 6.3 seconds remaining in regulation to give Boston a 104-101 advantage.
"He's a great player. He hasn't stopped being great," said Rivers. "He just hadn't played well in a while. It didn't bother me. It didn't stop me from running things for him still. My belief was he needed two or three (made shots) in a row instead of one. Everyone kept saying he needs one."
"I thought he needed two or three to get him going. He got it going. We came out of time‑outs and got him some other shots. Kevin got tired in the third and we had to take him out, and getting Ray going was huge for us, and it was huge for Ray."
"This has been a tough stretch for Ray, and I give him a ton of credit. Number one, I thought this was his best defensive night, and to me that's more important," Doc continued. "Number two, he never changed his routine, he never did anything different. He kept working on his game."
"He kept believing every day, and that's probably why he's been so great through his career, because he believes. Hell, if that had been me, I'd have been a basket case as a player. Most players would have been. But that's the difference between the good ones and the great ones."
Allen believes the difference was pushing the ball and running at every opportunity. He would like to see that same style of play carry into Game 6 Friday. "There's a flow that's created out there during the game, and it really depends on all of us, where we move the ball and everybody gets easy looks," said.
"I told (Rajon) Rondo a couple of minutes ago that my first two threes in the first half came because we got the rebound and pushed it up ahead, and I was able to get two threes off. And I said, when we run, the more we run as a team, the more I score."
"Defense is out of place, and we shoot over the top, the bigs run, we get easy lay‑ups. So it does make it easier for me when we run and we move the ball. I get easier looks, but at the same time, I've been trying to drive the ball more over the past couple of games."
Celtics Nation should expect another strong showing from KG Friday. Neither Rasheed Wallace, McDyess, or Theo Ratliff have been able to find a way to stop The Big Ticket, who has been averaging 24.2 points this series, including 33 points in Game 5.
We knew the significance of this game," said KG. "You don't win this game, you put basically yourself in a corner. … They're experienced, and they've been in a lot of pressure situations. Now it's up to us to go up there and try to get one."
"Getting one" in Detroit will be virtually impossible if the Celtics repeat their near fourth quarter collapse on Wednesday when Detroit outscored Boston 31-22, and whittled a 13-point deficit to one point with 8.2 seconds to play.
"Man, it was the longest fourth quarter out of all the games we played in," told The Truth Paul Pierce (16 points, six assists). "I was a little disappointed the way we played the fourth quarter. I thought throughout the game we played well, but the fourth quarter is something we're going to have to go back and look at because if we get ourselves in this position again in Detroit, we've got to be able to close the game out a little bit better than we did tonight."
"Having a 13‑point lead we knew they were going to be aggressive. Thinking about having the lead in the fourth quarter we've got to continue to be aggressive. I thought we were a little passive when they put out the traps, but you've got to understand, hey, that's the playoffs and it's not going to be easy."
"We've got to be a little bit more aggressive in the fourth than we were. I thought we just kind of let the time pass away and hoping that we were going to win the game. But we've got to put forth a better effort and better execution in the fourth."
The Celtics now have two opportunities to advance to the NBA Finals for the first time since the Big Three of Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, and Robert Parish led the Celtics to the championship series in 1987.
However, Doc is hopeful that the team isn't thinking that they got two games to win one. He would rather the team focus on Game 6. "We've just got to think about the next game," said Doc, referring to the game tonight.
"We've got to have a great focus and a great intensity there. You know, they've won titles, they've been in this position before. We just have to go in there and play our game. That's the whole key. Whatever happens, happens. But we've got to make sure we play our game. We can't get caught up in anything that they're doing. I thought that was important tonight."
"We talked about it a lot yesterday and a lot today. They were grabbing and bumping and holding last game and it affected us, and tonight they were grabbing and bumping and holding and it didn't affect us. We kept playing. We played through it. "
"We caught the ball when we should have caught the ball. I thought the only point where it did affect us was down the stretch when we were not aggressive anymore and we were trying to hold onto the lead again, and that's the second time we've done that instead of running through the game."
"The good thing about it is we're going home," said Billups, who seemed to recover from the hamstring injury he suffered in the series against the Orlando Magic. He led Detroit with 26 points and six assists. "We've been here before, and we don't like being in this position, but we've fought hard."
Detroit will not doubt come out fighting in Game 6. But Doc has the Celtics watching old Muhammed Ali fights, telling them it's not how many times you get hit, it's if you keep moving forward.
If Boston moves forward Friday, they will host the Western Conference champions on Thursday, June 5 when the NBA Finals begin.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - The Giants knew they were returning almost all of their starters from last year's outstanding defense, but there was one player that Damon "Snacks" Harrison just wasn't sure about.
"I told him coming into this offseason that I wasn't a full believer in B.J. Goodson," Harrison said of the Giants new starting middle linebacker. "He was just a young guy at middle linebacker. You have to know everything. You have to get people in the right spots. He only played like 12 snaps last year so we didn't get a chance to see him. … It was just yet to be seen."
Then the 24-year-old Goodson had a strong offseason where he took control of a veteran-heavy defensive team. And then on opening night, during a 19-3 loss in Dallas, he was a dominant defensive force, making 18 tackles. Like all of the best middle linebackers the Giants have had, Goodson was all over the field.
So now how does Snacks feel about his young teammate?
"I told him even before this game he made me a believer," Harrison said. "I'm a 1,000 percent believer in B.J. Goodson. And that was before you guys saw what you saw. We already knew that."
That sums up the opinion of just about everyone in the Giants organization of the 6-1, 243-pound Goodson, who was a fourth-round pick out of Clemson in 2016. The Giants thought he had a lot of potential last year to maybe even compete for a starting job right away, before injuries set him back early in the season. He ended up playing mostly on special teams.
But the Giants had no problem handing over their middle linebacking duties to him right at the start of this spring. And against the Cowboys it was clear their decision paid off.
"Yeah, I mean B.J. ran around," said Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo. "The stats say he made a lot of plays, which he did. That's what you expect the Mike linebacker to do."
"B.J.'s made a lot of progress," Ben McAdoo added. "Each week is a new challenge for a young player and we look forward to him learning from last week's game and gaining some confidence and being ready for this week. I have a lot of confidence in B.J."

The reality star is glowing after returning from her loved up break with boyfriend Tyga
KYLIE Jenner showed off her picture perfect abs while out in Calabasas.

Kylie's just returned from a break away in Mexico with Tyga and his three-year-old son King Cairo.
The relaxing break was the first time the couple have been away together in months and Kylie appeared all the better for it.
Tyga meanwhile struggled to take his hands of his stunning girlfriend, giving her peachy bum a squeeze as they mucked around by the pool.
They've not had the easiest relationship and split last year for a few months.
During their break up, Tyga went on to date British Instagram star Demi Rose Mawby before getting back with Kylie.
They're more in love than ever and Kylie's determined to make their relationship work.
During a candid interview with Complex last October, she said: "The first year we started hanging out, everyone around him told him not to be with me.
"I still get comments like, 'Don't be with him.'
"But we're not doing it for the public -- we love each other.
"We need to be together at all times.
"We never get mad at each other, we just figure things out."

The Women Of Korea Are Going Gaga For Pubic Hair Implants
In the good Korea, this season's hottest trend has emerged and it's pubic hair implants for women, a procedure which starts at $2,000.
Pubic hair implants? Yes, pubic hair implants. The implantation of actual pubic hair into another person's nether regions, because said person isn't comfortable with the thickness of her/his bush.
I know, you're shocked this isn't a news story from Japan. How can this be the good Korea and not Japan? I do not have the answers to that. But as to why the good citizens of Korea are undertaking this bizarre procedure, well, we can certainly get to the bottom of that…
According to a study from the Arumdaun Nara Dermatologic and Plastic Surgery Clinic in Seoul, 74% said they had gotten it done because of a "sense of inferiority to the same sex."
According to the Korean Association of Medical Journal Editors, an insufficiency of pubes (in otherwise healthy people) is a disorder called "pubic atrichosis." A Korean clinic called Renaissance estimates that 10% of Korean women have it. Some even suffer from psychological stress as a result.
What does pubic atrichosis look like? If that region were a heart shape, just the tip would be populated in hair. After a hair transplant, you can start sporting a new shape: inverted triangle, diamond, shield — the possibilities are endless. The two most popular styles (with 87% of women choosing them), are the shield and the fan, according to a Korean blog run by a hair restoration clinic.
Interestingly enough, one of the first hair transplants ever was with pubic hair, in Japan. These days, the procedure starts at about $2,000, and the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery reports that demand has increased sharply, to the tune of 160% from 2010 to 2012. While it only takes a few hours, it may take a few sessions for the hair to take root.
For more on that you can head on over to Refinery29 and read all about the weird pubic hair obsession taking place in the good Korea.

Helical Pier Installation
FOUNDATION Systems Repair & Support
Helical piers were originally developed to structurally support offshore foundations (lighthouses) and developed over time for inland use. Helical piers can be used on both new and old construction for foundation support. On new construction, helical piers can be installed to provide a solid base for foundations, where soils may not naturally be able to support the weight load of a proposed building or home. On existing construction, helical piers can be used to shore up foundations where cracking and settlement has occurred. Helical piers are commonly used in shore communities where existing pilings are failing.
Helical piers are used in the environmental field for structural support of foundations, utilities and slabs to allow the direct source removal (remediation by excavation) of petroleum contaminated soils.
Some of Helical Pier Advantages Are as Follows:
- Installation equiment is low impact and can easily access hard to reach areas where larger pile driven and excavation equipment cannot.
- helical piers are advanced (drilled) to what ever depth is required to find a solid base for the foundation. Piers can be drilled to 8' or 80', which far exceeds depths of both excavation and pile driven equipment.
- Pier installation is quick, with multiple piers being able to be installed in a given day.
- Structural steel can be added to existing foundations to add additional strength to foundations.
To provide true turnkey solutions, Curren Environmental Inc. is a certified CHANCE Helical Pier installation helical pier contractor.
By providing this aspect with in house equipment and personnel, Curren Environmental has eliminated the reliance on subcontractors. Our "in house" remediation and Helical pier crews allow Curren to reduce the down time and "cost plus" that sub-contractors often create. Our crews can flow seamlessly on a daily basis from remedial excavation to structural support, to maximize site time and reduce overall project duration and associated cost.
Our Approach
Curren Environmental will have an independent structural engineer develop a support plan for the structure and the drafted plans will be submitted to the municipality for approval. (Curren Environmental will handle all local permits that are required for Helical Pier installation as well as obtained engineered drawings for structural support).
Once our helical pier mobilizes to a site, Curren personnel will expose the foundation to be supported. If contaminated soils are encountered, a Curren environmental project manager will direct the excavation and segregation of clean and petroleum impacted soils, to prevent mixing of clean and contaminated soils. Once the foundation is exposed but not structurally undermined, a bore hole will be advanced at each anchor location wide enough and deep enough to place a bracket under the foundation. The leading section of the anchor with the proper number and size of helices will be installed by a hydraulic driven excavator. Extensions are added until the helices are at the proper depth and the predetermined torque is achieved. At that point the bracket is added, the load is transferred to the anchor, and the building can be stabilized and the remediation project can continue.
The patented CHANCE Pull-down Micro piles are rated up to 100,000 pounds each. These are available in round or square shafts manufactured from high-strength galvanized steel. Special patented brackets are used to stabilize or lift foundations in distress. CHANCE is the only company with a pre-engineered and manufactured underpinning system evaluated and listed by all the national building code agencies.
Chance is the oldest manufacturer of Helical Piers adapted piers specifically for environmental related projects.
Benefits of Helical Piers & Anchors
- Helical piers do not cause vibration during installation.
- Helical piers can achieve design loads in given soils.
- Helical pier installation do not create excavation spoils that would require removal.
- Low mobilization costs for helical pier installation equipment.
- Environmentally friendly small installation equipment has minimal site impact.
- Installation can be completed in all weather conditions.
- Installs in limited access situation – hand-installation can be performed with portable equipment.
- Helical piers have the ability to be installed in close proximity to underground services.
- Capacity of each pile is accurately measured using installation torque.
- Helical piers can be used for support in a temporary situation such as pre-construction support.

Along with the traditional colors of Carnival, State Police blue has emerged as a sought-after commodity in New Orleans among business owners and city leaders responding to renewed concerns over violent crime.
So much so, in fact, that the New Orleans Convention and Visitors Bureau has guaranteed $2.5 million in overtime costs to keep a sizable deployment of troopers in the city through at least mid-May.
But not everyone has embraced the blue-uniformed troopers with equal enthusiasm. Some police officers see their prolonged presence in the city as a short-sighted solution to the Police Department's staffing woes.
And in a new wrinkle this week, New Orleans' largest police officer groups are calling into question the wisdom of troopers patrolling the French Quarter, suggesting they would be better used responding to traffic accidents.
"The placing of the State Police in the Quarter is like using painkillers to mask the discomfort of a terminal disease," said Capt. Michael Glasser, president of the Police Association of New Orleans. "It will feel good for a while, but unchecked, the disease will be fatal."
Glasser, in a lengthy statement to The New Orleans Advocate, said rank and file police officers are more familiar with the intricacies of the French Quarter and its crime patterns. Officers assigned to the 8th District, which includes the Quarter, "do a remarkable job with the resources they have — they just need more," he said.
Where the Police Department could use the most help, Glasser said, is in the investigation of crashes, especially those on Interstate 10 that tie up officers for hours as they block off traffic, collect evidence and interview injured people at the hospital. With so few officers on duty at any given time, a major crash can consume "all of a district's resources," Glasser said, "leaving no one to police the district."
Donovan Livaccari, an attorney for the Fraternal Order of Police, made similar comments Wednesday, saying New Orleans would benefit most from having State Police apply their expertise on the city's roadways. State Police "perform this function throughout the state," he said.
Col. Mike Edmonson, the State Police superintendent, stood by his deployment plan, which calls for troopers to patrol the French Quarter and other neighborhoods, as well as serving outstanding felony warrants. About 150 troopers will deploy to the city for Mardi Gras, and several dozen are expected to stay through late spring.
In an interview Wednesday, Edmonson said Glasser should consider "the success we've had in the city for over 35 years."
"I'm asking him to be part of the solution, not part of the problem," Edmonson said. "We're there because the city has asked us to be there."
Edmonson added that troopers are fully trained in police work, not just traffic investigations. "Are we experts in traffic? Absolutely," he said. "But we're also experts at being police officers, and we're experts at being partners."
Mayor Mitch Landrieu has welcomed the State Police unreservedly, beseeching the agency to establish a more permanent presence. He counted on State Police to help restore calm after the notorious Bourbon Street shooting spree last summer, when scores of troopers were stationed in the city for four months.
At the same time, the mayor has said repeatedly that expanding the ranks of the NOPD is a top priority. His 2015 budget includes money for several new recruit classes and the first across-the-board raise for Police Department members since 2007.
But Landrieu's pleas for outside help have rankled some within the NOPD, who say not enough emphasis has been placed on restoring the department's ranks to a more sustainable level of staffing. The manpower shortage has been attributed to a citywide hiring freeze during Landrieu's first term, a measure intended to stanch New Orleans' financial hemorrhaging.
"We need to focus on hiring more officers than we will lose," Livaccari said. "We need to let the NOPD do what it does best — police the city of New Orleans."
In his statement, Glasser also noted that State Police assigned to the French Quarter are not subject to the stringent federal oversight that New Orleans police officers face under the city's consent decree with the U.S. Department of Justice. He said the troopers also do not wear body cameras on their uniforms, devices the NOPD has rolled out in an effort to boost officer accountability and public trust.
"The greatest number of police-citizen contacts occur in the Quarter and under circumstances which often result in arrest or summons," Glasser said. "The State Police would have none of the restrictions, oversight and review that was deemed so important with the NOPD."
Edmonson pointed to his agency's record, saying State Police are not subject to federal oversight in part because troopers receive thorough law enforcement instruction and frequent retraining. "We train our people on a regular basis," he said, "to ensure they do what police are supposed to do."

CAPE TOWN - Emergency and rescue crews are continuing to assist firefighters battling a wildfire that has wreaked havoc in parts of the Southern Cape.
The National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) says it is also rendering assistance, as firefighting efforts continue.
The blaze, which broke out in Knysna and rapidly spread to other areas, has claimed six lives.
Hundreds of homes have also been gutted by the fire.
WATCH: Strong winds fan flames in Knysna
The NSRI's Criag Lambinon says, "Everybody that's involved… from members of the public to NSRI and all the emergency service… everybody is doing the same thing; it's firefighting, relief, evacuation of families and medically treating the patients."
Dozens of Southern Cape residents continue to vacate their homes as raging fires continue in the region.
Residents in farming communities outside Knysna have been urged to vacate their premises as sweeping fires blazed through the area.
Some tried to dampen the outside surface of their properties as a last-ditch attempt to avoid their homes being razed to the ground.
The Buffalo Bay region, 20 kilometres outside Knysna, was struck by several flare-ups fuelled by rapidly changing gale force winds.
Residents in the area have been evacuated to a seaside parking lot as an approaching blaze threatened their property.
"I'm worried about my children that are there. It's unreal but kind of expected as well. There are no words to describe this tragedy."
Within the Knysna epicentre alone, over 400 structures have been destroyed as result of runaway fires that have swept through the area since Tuesday.

"trampled down like mud"
Micah 7:10
These pictures aren't great. I took them with my phone. So I hope you can see them okay.
I took these at a baseball field a few weeks ago. We were visitors there, and it's not a field we've played at before.
You see the dirt-y part of this picture? It's a pathway from a practice area, to the field itself, going around an equipment shed. Our kids trampled across this area when it was their turn to take the field, and it was obvious from the patchy grass that we were far from the first team to do so. Clearly the grass has trouble growing there.
But what's harder to see in that picture, in the lower left-hand corner. See them?
Lovely little lavender flowers! I saw them and smiled to myself, and pointed them out to my husband, "Look at those amazing flowers that insist on growing, despite all the cleats that parade through here!"
And immediately two words came to mind: buffalo wallow.
A buffalo wallow is a natural depression in the topography of the prairie that would collect rain. The water would draw buffalo, to drink, and to bathe. Over the years, this depression would grow, holding more water and attracting more wildlife.
Here's the wikipedia photo:
When I was a kid and read the Laura Ingalls Wilder books, Laura tells the story of her youngest sister, Grace, wandering away from their home when no one was watching. The rest of the family split up to search for her on the vast prairie.
Laura was the one who found Grace, sitting in an old buffalo wallow that was filled with violets. Laura had never seen anything like it before, and when her Ma asked her, "Where did you find her?" Laura found herself at a loss to describe the beautiful, fragrant hollow place.
|How's that for a stellar quality photo? Direct from my personal copy of "By the Shores of Silver Lake"
Pa explained to Laura how the hollow was formed, and there was such irony in those massive, ungainly creatures being a part of that delightful place. Life and beauty emerged.
I don't know if those little lavender flowers appeared because of all those boys' cleats, or in spite of them. But I was reminded that lovely and fragile often win out over heavy and strong. And I was reminded to persevere in the mud, because the flowers are coming.

believes all things,
hopes all things,
endures all things" ~

THE LOOK: A voluminous textured top knot that was romantic and whimsical.
INSPIRATION: Celebrity hairstylist Adir Abergel gave Saoirse a beautiful top knot for tonight's SAG Awards. "I was inspired by the sleek and modern dress and I wanted a statuesque yet carefree undone updo that sat at the crown," he says.
How To Get The Look:
I applied NEW John Frieda Luxurious Volume® Perfectly Full™ Mousse all over the roots through mid-shaft on towel dried hair. I then hand dried the hair and took a large round brush to create a soft voluminous blowout.
Then I used a 1 1/4″ curling on large sections of hair to create random waves and texture.
Next, I took a comb and teased the roots of her hair and pulled it loosely into a top ponytail leaving some height around the front.
Then I took the ponytail and back combed it prior to wrapping it around in a big deconstructed bun and pinning it in place.
I locked the look down with NEW John Frieda Luxurious Volume® Forever Full® Hairspray.
I made sure some pieces fell around the hairline for a more whimsical and romantic effect.

I'm given a sample set comprising of a radiant makeup base, a fluid foundation, and a compact foundation, all from the latest Fall/Winter 2011 collection of Dior Beaute. I have only tested out the compact foundation so far for several reasons that you may also like to consider when you are struggling with what to include in your beauty haul.
Firstly and honestly, I have been super lazy with my makeup lately as I'm rushing through the final stages of my research like a racing doggie. What's more, I personally find the UV protection offered by the makeup base (with SPF 20+) too low to withstand the invincible sunshine these days. And again, the horrible heat actually makes it easier for whatever you put on your face to clog your pores. The thought of wearing a primer, fluid foundation, and a powder finish seems to spurt up my body temperature! It's good to wear powder or compact foundation in sweltering weather as it is more likely to melt into a natural glowy finish that is not too sticky for your summer hangouts. Think I will save the makeup base and the fluid foundation for later when the weather gets cooler and more comfortable, hopefully toward the end of this month...Anywayz, so much of reasoning...
I am actually beginning to like Diorskin Forever Compact over my beloved Giorgio Armani Lasting Silk UV Compact (see reviews HERE and HERE), which I know I have been raving about. It comes in 6 shades and what I received is in Light Beige (020). I apply it with my Lily Lolo kabuki brush (buy HERE with free worldwide delivery) and it's perfect in terms of both the shade and finish. Like GA Lasting Silk, the shade blends perfectly with my natural complexion, and the texture is so sheer that it really gives the second-skin effect that it vouches. It's almost indistinguishable whether I'm wearing any makeup and I just look brightened!
But what Diorskin Forever really outshines GA Lasting Silk are its coverage and its amazingly lasting quality. Although sheer, it provides a noticeably better coverage than GA Lasting Silk. If the latter gives me an even-toned, no-makeup complexion, Diorskin Forever gives me an even-toned, no-makeup-but-better complexion. A porcelain yet natural-looking finish. The best part is, the skincare serum infiltrated in the compact foundation seems to be really effective in maintaining the water-oil balance of my skin. Great for combination skin. It manages to stay put for 9 hours (that's the longest I have tried...may last even longer...) with only occasional oil-blotting around the T-zone. No patches, no streaks, no sliding - Hurray!
It's truly a brilliant hybrid of makeup and skincare. It feels nothing, but looks perfect. I will definitely purchase the compact after finishing this generous sample palette. Oh for your information, the compact is quite pigmented. All I need is a few light strokes over my face and this little will go a long long long way. Over here, it's sold at HKD 440 (USD 56.50) and it's worth every penny.

Each stem segment appears root.
This is the type of aerial root
The roots will firmly attached to the bark of the shading tree or other support.
Each root is located side by side to the leaf on each segment.
The main shoot will grow lengthwise, if we don't cut it.
So we have to cut the long stem to set the canopy.
The seedling is ready to be transplanted after the new shoots have 4-5 segment.
It's need about 3-4 months.
We have to prepare a planting hole with compost on it, near the trunk of the shading tree.
This plant is need high humidity, but doesn't like wet land.
Next we will talk about the pollination.
Enjoy your day, and have a wonderful day with the vanilla's fragrance.

Wip wednesday #26
Really excited today to be taking part in Tami's linky party today. It's been so long since I did one of these and I can't wait to share what I'm up to and see what everyone else is up to.
This week has been great knitting and blogging again. I really missed being part of this world and it's great making things again. I shouldn't really be surprised but I've already added several projects to my list,
what is it about knitters and are inability to stop looking at more patterns and yarn when we already have far more to do/use than we could ever manage! It's half the fun though isn't it?!
So onto the all important Wips (work in progress)
First Wip - Baby
Not a wee baby anymore, 10 1/2 months, I don't know where the time has gone. Angus is walking, eating everything in sight and expressing his personality, he's such a little character! Unfortunately as is the way with children we've had a couple of weeks of illness here, first Angus and I had conjunctivitis and then this week Angus has had a chest infection. He seems to be on the mend now, so hopefully we will start getting more sleep soon!
Second Wip - Baby blanket
Now the last time you saw this it looked like this, so it has progressed but as you can see it wasn't finished for baby's arrival! I am still enjoying knitting it and will finish it, one day!
Third Wip - circular
Fourth Wip - Tie top
OK so lets end on a high, this is my tie top, I've been working on this for ages but I would just pick it up now and then but I've decided to make the commitment to work on it a bit each week, so hopefully one day i will actually wear it. To give you an idea of its journey so far click here.
So that's it for me today. I'm off for some lunch, then Angus and I are going on a play date. I'll catch up with Tamis and everyone tonight.
I will also be linking this post with the following blogs
Wednesday - Show off your stuff party
Yarn along
Thursday - Our creative spaces

Paper Players 375
I love Valentines. It is my favorite card making time of the year. They seem less stressful that Christmas cards, I guess because there is not so many other things going on at the same time.
Paper Players challenge today is a fun one:
My new year's resolution is to use some of my old stamps more, and deplete my paper scraps. I am proud to say this card has helped me to do both things. The stamp is an old retired SU set. Some cuteness just lasts forever, so remain a part of my massive collection of stamps. Thanks, Paper Players for making this challenge "just my type" of challenge!!

Thus says the Lord:
"For three transgressions of Israel,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because they sell the righteous for silver,
and the needy for a pair of sandals—
those who trample the head of the poor into the dust of the earth
and turn aside the way of the afflicted." Amos 2:6-7a ESV
You were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for the sake of you who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God. I Peter 1:18b-21 ESV
Once there were three young men who found eight bushels of gold coins underneath a tree. They knew that if they tried to take this gold into town during the day, everyone would think they were thieves, so they decided to wait until it was night. They sent the youngest man into town to buy them some food, and while he was gone the other two men decided to kill him when he came back so that they could have more gold for themselves. The youngest man had the same idea. He not only bought food, but also some poison. He put poison into two of the three bottles of wine that he bought, planning to kill his two friends so he could have all the gold for himself. When he returned to his friends, they killed him. Then they drank the two poisoned bottles of wine and died themselves. All three of these young men were ready to sell their friends' lives for some money.
The prophet Amos talked about the same kind of problem going on with God's people. The Lord spoke through him and said that his people were selling the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of sandals. This meant that if one person wronged another one, when they went to court the judge wouldn't give a fair judgment, but would always favor the rich person who would give him some money–maybe only enough to buy a pair of sandals! God also said that the poor and needy were being trampled into the dust. God's laws had all kinds of safeguards for the poor. Do you remember the gleaning laws? Also, do you remember that if a poor person borrowed some money and gave his cloak as a pledge, the other person was supposed to give it back by that evening so he would have something warm to sleep in? Poor people, and especially women without husbands and children without fathers, were supposed to be given extra care and protection. But when God spoke through Amos, his people were ignoring these laws. They were ready to sell people's lives and needs for money.
Exactly the opposite thing happened between us and God. We were all poor and needy and helpless because of our sins. We couldn't help ourselves, but God was sorry for us and sent Jesus to save us. Jesus would have given all the money in the world to save us, but that wouldn't have been enough. Saving us cost Jesus his life. Instead of gold or silver, Jesus bought us with his blood. We have life with Jesus now and forever because he loves us and valued us enough to die for us.
Dear Jesus, thank you for buying us with your blood and giving your life to save us. Amen.
Chaucer, Geoffrey "The Pardoner's Tale" The Canterbury Tales

IFS is the United States Air Force's program to screen and eliminate flying candidates -- both pilots and Combat Systems Officers (CSO).
Removing a candidate from training early saves the USAF money; but costs a candidate their dream.
Some folks take just a little longer to learn how to land an airplane than the USAF allows, but once they've got it, they've really got it.
Be prepared for the first step in your dream by being ready for IFS!
We don't have a good reason for this either, but we do have a little insight from a friend who teaches at IFS:
Well, I have been here all over a week and a half and we have washed out 10 people so far.
Root cause: LANDINGS!! (and some aeronautical decision making (poor decisions on SFL's, etc)).
From what I am seeing thus far, while this course is designed for a ZERO time dude, that is FAR from the case in practice!!
Guys need to get some time in ANY airplane (other than an airliner) just to get some air under their butts and get a little aero decision making, etc.
The problems with landings are that they are treating them as PURE mechanical.
They pull power and flare and hope for the best.
There is no feel for the aircraft and they are letting the airplane fly THEM instead of vice-versa.
Nav candidates have a MUCH higher washout rate than pilot candidates!!
Reason being, and this is a common consensus, is that pilots seem to have a higher "want" to complete.
Most pilots that show up here have some civilian time under their belts which shows BIG TIME!!
Nav's show up cold turkey.
HERE IS THE PROBLEM. If a nav washes out from here, they can still go to nav school (assuming they washed out for a pilot related issue (ie:
cant land)), however, if they go to nav school and then later want to try to become a pilot, THEY CANT!!
So if a guy gets a nav slot with the hopes of later becoming a pilot, he HAS to take charge of his own future and come here with some flying experience!
Otherwise they are risking a lot!

I am sure you have heard how important it is to set goals! You may have even heard of the Harvard Study that discovered the 3% of graduates with clearly defined written goals earned in excess of the other 97% of graduates put together.
You may have even set SMART goals!
If you are a big dreamer like me, SMART goals can be a a bit of a downer because they encourage us to be realistic. Sometimes, I don't want to be realistic. Sometimes I want to dream the impossible! BIG goals inspire me to new heights and make me feel ALIVE! Continue reading

A significant consotium of Turkish companies know as the Cengiz-Kolin-Kalyon group announced Wednesday that they would back out of a preliminary agreement with Russian engineering and construction giant Rosatom, citing an inability to reach contract agreements.
The group signed a preliminary agreement to work with Rosatom in June 2017 that included the transfer of 49 percent of shares in the Akkuyu nuclear power plant project, according to the North Cyprus News..
A Russian-designed power plant with two reactors, each with a capacity of 2,400 megawatts is slated for Akkuyu, which lies on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea in the southern province of Mersin. Construction is expected to begin this year.

|Seamus (Kendall and Jacqui's dog) arrived on Friday night and stayed at Mary's house all weekend. He refused to leave, because conditions are so much better at Mary's than at home; he's allowed free access to the furniture (which he made full use of, just ask Seamus the Second ;-)), he's fed properly - the poor bugger was just about starved when he arrived, as will be evident to anybody who studies the photos of him - and house chores are limited to the occasional helping tongue with the washing up.
On Sunday night a feeble attempt to bring him home was made. He was brought to the car, but when he found out he wouldn't be allowed to actually drive the car, he refused point blank and ran back into the house.
On Monday, though, Jacqui thought it was high time that Seamus made an appearance at home. Realizing this, Seamus immediately left the house and sought political asylum with one of the neighbours. However, before such asylum could be granted, Jacqui managed to grab hold of the absconder, and he was forcibly led to the car and locked inside it. Exit Seamus..

Technology has given rise to new power unchecked,
So the masters that now wield it lack the respect.
Like random fractals dancing about on the screen,
So many claim to preach what right and wrong mean.
Yet the rule of law cannot bind the hatred of man,
And basic human nature shall conquer any such plan.
In their worlds of black and white they cannot tell,
What is it like to exist in this pastel coated hell.
The colors I see are the blood oozing from the walls,
As I seek to plug my ears to drown out the cat calls.
Although I tend to forget the great cycle turning,
Even as the forest around me seems to be burning.
And zoomed out there is not all that much to see,
For but a paltry moment in which we happen to be.
Despite this perspective, I continue to be engaged,
Though this brush I now wield is no longer enraged.
It speaks with vigor, upheld by prophecy to pass,
A poison otherwise ignored, yet still in my glass.
So let's give toast to our supremacy with cute quips,
So I can observe as doom foretold meets your lips.

West Haven-Ansonia: The Super Preseason Scrimmage Bowl movie!
Roll call: the Lonesome Polecat (aka Ned Griffen), 'Remmy' (of NVL Football blog fame), Kyle Brennan (of NVL Football Blog and Rep-Am fame), Kevin Duffy (for Hearst CT) and a smattering of coaches of fans, opposing players and former players.
We unnecessarily hyped the game up, and the casual media presence might have hinted this scrimmage was important somehow. But it was just a scrimmage and we used the occasion to size up what should be two of the best teams in the state this season, not to mention get some extra intel from sources who attended.
With the varsity playing a majority of the scrimmage, Ansonia "won" the (ahem) game four scores to two. But it was a pretty even exchange, with hard-hittin' defense a-plenty.
Arkeel Newsome scored a few touchdowns for Ansonia, including a 70-yard run. West Haven's Erv Phillips score on a 30-yard burst. Westies' QB Duane Gary showed some nifty running, as did Ansonia QB JaiQuan McKnight. But overall, it looked like the season was two weeks away.
Yea, there were no fancy schmancy spread offenses in this affair. It was a strap-it-up, dig-in, fire-out, good ol' fashioned smashed-mouth friendly at Jarvis Stadium.
Of course, here were some hints that a few in attendance and on the field might have considered this more than it really was, like this Tweet:
WH player: "We take this seriously! Scrimmage or not, I don't care!" as he fired-up the troops today. #cthsfb #footballOverall, there wasn't much to take from this except Newsome and Phillips are good. Ansonia and West Haven are big and are capable of digging in and banging in the trenches with the best of 'em.
— NVL FOOTBALL (@NVLFOOTBALL) August 31, 2013
In other words, these teams probably can play football.
But, you knew that, didn't you?
Thanks (once again) to YouTube's Rick Volk, you can take a gander at what the Super Preseason Bowl looked like Friday night.
Check it. Let us know what you think:

Moriarty Score:
- The relative negativity of a diary entry
- Used to measure the intensity of an unhelpful thought
- Measured by density of negative words
- 0% = 0
- 25% = 20 (maximum)
- eg
- it's unbearable, all I can think is how dreadful and fearful I find myself in these difficult situations.
- 4/18 – 22% negative word density.
- Moriarty Score – 18 (rounded up from 17.6)
- ··················..
- it's unbearable, all I can think is how dreadful and fearful I find myself in these difficult situations.
The Mark1 Prototype I presented on Monday involved a scoring system devised in response to the requirements for the service to be indicative of 'spikes in emotional volatility' or 'emotional disruptions'.
This scoring system, currently called a Moriarty Score, is influenced by the moriarty.ttf font I made last week. The font gives a visual overview of how negative a portion of text is by transforming 'negative feeling words' into from a horizontal line into a wave.
The Moriarty Score I devised for MK1 is a little more sophisticated.
The system detects how intensity of the negativity in a group of text messages. This is represented on a scale of 0-20 illustrated by a row of dots.
These scores are measured by the density of negative words in a portion of text. The upper limit is 25% (one in four words are negative) which renders a score of 20/20.
This upper limit was decided upon from analysing my own thought diary records and recognising that it was near impossible to write a coherent passage of text with a negative word density of more than 25%.
If this density or greater is achieved, the passage must represent deeply intense and the individual must be incredibly distressed.
However, sometimes the system won't get it right, and as a result an adjusting mechanism must be built in.
Users can respond with commands which allows them adjust the Moriarty Score to match their current perceived 'intensity level'.
Users only get a reply with the Moriarty Score after inputting their thoughts. This is due to the importance of "capturing how/what you are thinking" for support professionals (therapists, doctors etc). The user has to work to get the gratification of recording a score.
This system will be developed further for MK2.

The grass on the other side may look green and lush. It may not appear to have any dandelions or creeping charlie. However, looking at your neighbor's yard can take away the enjoyment of your own. I think we can all agree that comparison is pretty silly. You have a purpose that no one in this world can fulfill but you. Your neighbor wasn't called by God to live your life, so why are you fantasizing about living theirs? Just think of how many deep and meaningful friendships could blossom when we destroy comparison with the pure enjoyment of our differences.
There are times when I compare my gifting to the talents of others. But more often than not, I find that I'm playing a comparison game with my former self. I used to be skinnier, and my hair was never out of place. I never skipped a shower because of a crying baby with acid reflux. I had hopes and dreams for my future. I always had time to do whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. I was in the beginning of the best days of my life. Looking at pictures, I see a confident put together woman on the left and I keep comparing her with the other girls on the right.
But you see, that isn't the whole story of that girl on the left. I was immature. I was unhealthy. I lacked grace for others and refused to forgive those who had hurt me. I was living lies that had been told to me my whole life. I was anxious. I was easily annoyed. I was selfish.
Once I started thinking back to who I used to be, the women on the right start to look more and more beautiful. They are filled with grace and mercy. They have chosen to forgive and let go. They are more wise, and know how to become humble when life throws them a curveball. They are making healthy choices. They are filled with God's truth and can speak it whenever they are confronted with a lie. They are no longer prisoners of fear, but can walk boldly in whatever circumstance God has put them in. They are not easily angered, and have learned to hold their tongue. They have learned to become more and more self-less. Instead of settling for the role of a victim, they have risen to become overcomers of the very struggle the girl on the left found impossible to conquer.
The reason I share my own comparison is because I believe that the end to comparing others is to stop comparing yourself to who you used to be. We have to love ourselves in order to be able to love one another. Comparison does steal our joy without us even noticing it. So, I'm on a journey to get that joy back.
The wonderful thing about joy is that I'm not responsible for producing it. If I lack joy, it's because I've stopped believing in God's truth. Comparison does not fall into the realm of God's truth for our lives. Do you remember the part in the new testament where the disciples were comparing themselves and deciding who was the greatest?
An argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest. Jesus, knowing their thoughts, took a little child and had him stand beside him. Then he said to them, "Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For it is the one who is least among you all who is the greatest." –Luke 9:46-48
Jesus put a stop to their comparison by speaking the truth. Children are free from the worries and mind games of adults. Their hearts are pure and lack pride. The truth is that when we act like the least of these, we will become great. It's not about us, it's about developing a humble attitude that's only focus is to point others to Jesus. That is the truth in regards to us comparing ourselves to others. We must hold onto this truth and let it guide our hearts, minds, and each step that we take.
Another thing to remember is how we sound to God when we are comparing ourselves to others. We are telling Him that He made a mistake. But friends, God doesn't make mistakes. He made you the way you are for a purpose. You may not understand why God didn't equip you with talents of your neighbor, but that's not for us to question. All will be revealed in God's timing. Our job isn't to have everything figured out, our job is to believe that God has the best for us and thank Him for how He has created us.
But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God? "Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, 'Why did you make me like this?'" Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use? -Romans 9:20-22
Let us be mindful of comparison, and put a stop to it with God's truth. Let's start believing that we are a wonderful creation, as God's word tells us. When we start to believe, joy comes in abundance.

I need a blanket with my dog's face on it! Who wouldn't love a soft blanket to cuddle up with that just so happened to have some awesome pictures on it? That is just asking for some compliments. Like a photo album but 10x better and softer. Thank you very much to Collage.com for letting me review their Sherpa Photo Blanket.
To customize my blanket I used Collage.com's Product Builder. I could upload photos or grab them online from Facebook, Google or Instagram.I uploaded all the pictures for my blanket. I selected a layout that fit all of my photos then adjusted the size of the photos as I wanted. My blanket has 6 photos (I wish I put a lot more) but you can put up to 80 photos on your blanket!
You have the option of picking a background for your blanket. Some of the backgrounds are so nice that they can be used alone without any pictures. You can add text to the top, bottom or center of your blanket. You can edit the photos on your blanket with borders, filters and even shapes. Turn your photo into the shape of an airplane, rubber ducky or even a birthday cake.
My blanket is the Sherpa but you can also get Fleece, Plush Fleece, Plush Sherpa, Printed Woven or Woven Image. I love the Sherpa blanket. The side with the pictures is soft and smooth. The other side of the blanket is fluffy. I was worried what the pictures would look like printed on a blanket but I was very surprised. The colors were vivid and the pictures look real.
The blanket is soft, warm, a conversation starter and looks amazing on my couch. We all love it.
Photo blankets would make an amazing gift for anyone. You can never have too many blankets. I was thinking of getting one for my bed with pictures of me and my husband from the time we started dating until now. It would be like an Anniversary Blanket with pictures of us from every year we have been together. Or I could get one for my daughter with pictures from the day she was born until now. That would definitely make me cry. But it would be oh so cute!
I have so many ideas and I can't wait to start on my next blanket. This time I will definitely put more pictures.

Hi All, I need to make a very simple get request from a remote web server each time a user first comes into the site. I wanted to just use the core HttpURLConnection class. It will be thread safe because the object will be used and created in method scope. In the Sun javadoc it says that underneath the covers, the Connection can be shared. So the question is, is this an expensive operation or am I ok to just create a new HttpURLConnection each time a user first enters the site? I noticed that Apache Commons have a version of an HttpClient, in which they explicitly mention pooling connections in a multi-threaded environment. Can I just use the standard HttpURLConnection or will I quickly run out of resources/connections? Should I be using something along the lines of the Commons Client Thanks alot --------------------------------- Yahoo! Messenger NEW - crystal clear PC to PC calling worldwide with voicemail

I have recently learned at my internship at Planned Parenthood that nearly 19 million new sexually transmitted infections occur each year. The best way to prevent STIs is to use condoms correctly and consistently. In fact, condoms are the only form of birth control that also helps reduce the risk of STIs.
Take a moment during National Condom Week, Feb. 14-21, to discuss with your partner whose responsibility it is to provide condoms. Be open and honest about your desire to protect your reproductive health.
This is one of the most important conversations you can have. Your health - and your partner's - depends on it.
--Nicole Kivitz, Intern at Planned Parenthood
