Lent begins with Ash Wednesday, which is observed by Catholics. This year Ash Wednesday is March 5th.
Lent is observed by some Christian church denominations—in my mind mostly the Catholic church, although some Protestant churches also observe Lent. It seems to me more individual Christians are observing some form of Lent leading up to Easter, even if not following the traditions Catholics observe such as fish on Friday.
Lent is the time counting down to Easter. While Lent is 40 days, it is actually longer than that until Easter because Lent only counts six days a week. Sundays are not counted because Sundays are always a celebration of the resurrection of Jesus, since he was raised on the first day of the week.
Why 40 days? The number 40 in the Bible is significant. It points to a time of waiting, or testing, or preparing. Moses was on Mount Sinai 40 days with God receiving the ten commandants. When the Israelites sent spies into the Promised Land to check it out, they were gone 40 days. When the Israelites refused to enter the Promised Land under God's instructions, their punishment was to spend on year in the wilderness for every day the spies spent in the land (see Numbers 14:34), until that entire generation died off. Jesus spent 40 days fasting and communing with God in the wilderness preparing for his life's ministry after he was baptized by John the Baptist.
Lent is a special time to prepare our hearts and minds for what is coming. Easter is coming! (Tweet that!)
Personally, I'm glad God gave us these times to slow down, pause, and prepare. Otherwise I'd just be doing my usual full speed ahead continually, and when I do that I feel I miss the event because it just zooms by. Whether it's Christmas or Easter or another big event, I love it much more when there's a buildup in anticipation.
That's what Lent is for me.
So here's the plan: Because I believe so whole-heartedly that looking at what God has done in the past can increase our faith for the future (and our present!), this Lenten season let's take a look at what God has done in the past.
Specifically, let's look at some of the prophecies God gave in the past about the death and resurrection of Jesus. Then let's look at how God fulfilled those prophecies perfectly.
You may think you know these things, but I think you might discover something new. Or you may not know any of these things. Perfect! What better time to start learning than in advance of Easter—the most incredible event in history!
Some of these prophecies I explored much more in depth in my book Prophecies Fulfilled in the Death & Resurrection of Jesus. But we're going to look at other events and prophecies too, including the coming lunar eclipses that have become known as the "Four Blood Moons." (Tweet that!) I wrote about these in my soon-coming book Prophecies Fulfilled in the Life of Jesus. The first of the four Blood Moons will occur on April 15th, on Passover during the last week of Lent, just days before Easter.
I believe these lunar eclipses are extremely spiritually significant. Why? Because of what God has done in the past, and because of what He has promised to do in the future—which is "prophecy"!
So I hope you'll join me. Starting Wednesday, we'll begin the 40 days of Lent countdown to Easter. Tomorrow we'll talk about Shrove Tuesday. Please stop back by for that.

The Twitter handle will appear under the "Official Game Ball" wording, just to the left of the league's logo, the NBA said in a statement. The move makes the NBA the first professional sports league to put its social media handle on the official game ball of that respective sport, according to the league. The NBA's official Twitter account has nearly 11 million followers, outpacing the National Football League (7 million), Major League Baseball (3.7 million) and National Hockey League. (2.6 million).

Maria Perstedt is Museum Director and Head of the Museum of Women's History in Umeå, Sweden's first of its kind. Maria Perstedt is a cultural historian and a dedicated and passionate museum professional with more than 25 years of occupational experience from several different Swedish museums of cultural history, on local, regional and government level – the Museum of Medical History and the National Historical Museum, among others.
Museum of Women's History, Umeå, Sweden http://www.kvinnohistoriskt.se/4.1ba1eb9814afeb38cc9acfb.html
Women's Museum Istanbul: Can you please tell us something about the male dominated filter in history that affects museums?
Maria Perstedt: A modern approach when it comes to museums is about allowing men and women to have equal spaces in society and equal possibilities to be heard. The traditional way of telling history does not offer these spaces or possibilities. The approach to telling history is male dominated. There is a male filter. Imagine you hold a flashlight and you look for men, you search – and you find men, but you do not see what is surrounding them. But if you point the flashlight in a different direction, all of a sudden you find that there are so many women out there.
At least half of the population of the world at all times and in all places has been women. And this you cannot tell from most traditional museums. To bring about a change, to allow women's voices to be heard, women's experiences to be acknowledged, women's memories to be visible, we need women's museums. Imagine history like a lake, and on the surface there are only men. They are sitting there on the surface, glittering and shining in their own light. And sometimes a woman emerges to the surface. She is only there for a short while before she sinks back down into the sediment, where she is forgotten while the surface stays the same. It is very hard work to make those women stick, to make those women stay on the surface and give them recognition, give them a voice, make them visible, make them stay in traditional history. By giving them a space equal to that of men, to make their voices be heard just like men's, we must break through this male filter. History has always been the product of both men and women, and that is what we have to display. As long as traditional museums do not tackle this task, there is a need for women's museums.
Hopefully, some day, we might not need to distinguish between different museums any longer. I hope for a future where museums make use of their traditional societal role (to act as "showcases" in order to make visible stereotypes and norms) as an advanced leveraging tool. Museums that take upon themselves to mirror that all societies are made up of people of different kinds; of different gender, sexual identities and sexual expression, of different colour, ethnicity, class and functionality, can facilitate social change and actively contribute to society´s never ending development.
Throughout my career as a museum professional, I have actively involved myself in issues of history, identity and power, focusing on traditional historiography and its ideological consequences in contemporary society. In my opinion, the societal role of museums is to facilitate social change and strengthen the principles of human rights and democracy.

New Blog Coming Soon miafenton.wordpress.com
I have asked dad to make me a new blog page as I don't really like the new one he did for this year. Dad has been looking at different ones in the last few days so I hope it wont be long before he gets it online.
I have also asked him to make a new one in my name as the old one was in his.
My new Blog Page will be miafenton.wordpress.com I will pressure dad to get it online by weekend.
Mia's Diary 21st May 2011
Dad has got a new app on his phone. No idea what an app is but dad's got one. he can take a few pictures side by side then the app thingy stitches them together. Im all confused but dad seems to know what he is doing.
This is me and mum when we went to a friends BBQ. Dad will try more pictures like this over the next few days.
Mia's Diary 20th May 2011
Today me and mum went to our Friday class of rhythm and rhyme I had a really nice time, dad popped over to meet us but he just missed us as we had already left and gone to meet the girls in the bar. We had a nice time with the girls before heading home to see dad.
This is me having my milk.
Mia's Diary 18th May 2011
Today I went to the Blue Planet with auntie Jane and uncle Ant we spent the day looking at lots of different animals most of them I had never seen before.
I saw a big shark and a piranha
This is me chatting to a big fish.
Mia's Diary 14th May 2011
Today dad had to spend some time in work so he dropped me off at grandads for the morning, me and grandad played some games early on and then I had my nap. I had such a long nap when I woke up mum had arrived to pick me up.
Me and mum then spent the afternoon together.
This is me washing my hair before bed.
Mia's Diary 13th May 2011
Today me and mum went to our Friday morning Rhythm and Rhyme class. I think secretly mum likes it more than me. I was lead drummer again and we played some great songs.
I had the rest of my injections this morning so I have a body full of disease for the next few days while my system works out how to protect me. I was a very brave girl and didn't even cry.
This is me having my bath.

|Rachelle, Principal 2nd violinist as a college freshman, waits for her big sister to arrive.
We are so happy for Chelle to have had this honor--of leading the 2nd violins.
Needless to say, we are proud of her and thankful she has been willing to
do the hard work it takes to build skills like this.
LaRae soloed with the Hillsdale orchestra this past week, playing the beautiful first movement of
Mozart's 5th Concerto in A. I've linked the concerto, and if you'd like to listen to it on YouTube,
click on "Mozart's 5th" above. LaRae played a different cadenza then Itzhak Perlman plays on this recording,
but everything else is the same.
|Dr. Holleman congratulates LaRae on a beautiful performance.
It was pristine--a crystal clean, brilliant Mozart performance.
Curt and I are thankful for her unwavering diligence and
commitment to always do her best.
|Curt happily gives his firstborn a dozen red roses.
|After the intermission, LaRae came back to lead the orchestra (as concertmistress) in
Braham's Symphony #2.
|I love it when she wears her hair down.
She's often too busy to take the time, but
her sister talked her into it for this performance. ;)
We were thrilled that both my parents, Curt's mother,
and one aunt and uncle from each side of the family were able to attend the concert.
That was very special for the girls and us!

Yes, what you are seeing is brown paint on the walls AND yes, the paneling does clash with it. This is or was the view you see when you enter the house.
We have been working on the entryway. Part of it, behind the mirror is painted off white and we left the
paneling. While I was away in Louisiana, hubby removed the paneling that was on the wall you are facing and put up wallboard. The next picture is the middle picture. So, I have the before picture and the not quite done picture. He has put a great texture on the wall and it is being painted and then will be rag painted. I will take a picture of it when done and the pictures etc are back in place. Actually, this is a close up, so you can see the texture.
Do you like my yarn? It is my handspun and I thought it would look great in front of the new wall. I don't know what I will knit with it yet, but someday the finished project will be on here. Keep watching. :)

I've recently been looking at the new Sony X-series "Bravia" LCD TVs which feature (for the first time) true 1920 x 1080 full-HD displays. The 52" model in particular produces stunning images, and I was wondering how practical it would be to use one of those in conjunction with a standard 35mm movie camera as an inexpensive video-to film transfer device.
While I don't imagine it would ever be up to Arrilaser standard, generally if the project can't afford to use the Arrilaser, chances are it would be shot on a lower-cost format where the image quality probably wouldn't justify it anyway. But in any case, if there did turn out to be investor interest, there would be nothing to stop the producers going back and getting it re-done with the Arrilaser.
Apart from that, a 52" Bravia would make an extremely impressive and cost-effective 1920 x 1080 on-set monitor, and if all else failed, you could still watch broadcast HDTV programs with its in-built tuner!

The pupils at Southwater Junior School have had a great time working towards their Harvest Service celebration.
One hundred and ninety children, in Years 3 and 4, performed to a hall packed full with parents, relatives and friends.
In their efforts to raise money for the charity 'Shelter', the pupils learnt about the fantastic work that the charity does, and we are very pleased to have raised £337.49 through the kind donations from those who attended the service.
The children sang a wide variety of songs superbly, and read their readings with confidence. Forty-five Year 4 children performed brilliantly on their recorders and a percussion group really rose to the challenge they were set in accompanying the piano and the trumpet in the 'Harvest Samba' song.
Pictured here are some of the very able recorder players, the hard-working percussion group and some of the superb readers.
The whole service had a lovely atmosphere.
Southwater Junior Academy would like to thank Kath Jones and Angie Choat for joining us for our Harvest Celebration – and also the parents, relatives and friends who attended the service, for taking part in the singing and for being so supportive of all the children.

It takes a frightening amount of will power and more mental strength than you'd ever believed yourself capable of to step away from the heat of the moment and look at things objectively.
So few are really able to do it, to step into that reflective state that helps us understand things – and most of all ourselves and why we react the way we do – on a deeper level than our impulses allow us to while under the pressures of the daily drudgery.
Why is it easier to sit in silent anger than to comfort the other? How is it that we turn affection into something that has the power to hurt more than even the most poisonous gossip of a mere acquaintance would? Why do we become powerless slaves to our impulses instead of looking to the real triggers for our words and actions?
We mean to be patient, but our frustrations take over and we refuse to accept anything else than what we are convinced we should get. We mean to be gentle, but our words end up cutting like freshly sharpened knives. We mean to spill our hearts out – to reach out to the ones we know have the power to make us feel appreciated, safe and at home, the ones whose love we rely on – yet we end up sitting in silence.
That's when we need to step back.
Don't let sometimes irrelevant frustrations and impulses get the better of you. Breathe. Listen. Remember.

Life And All That It Holds
What I find while trying to remember, are teachable moments for them.........for me. Sunshine Girl asks me to help her with bible study and I am taught by her willingness to want to learn more about our Teacher. And I watch as Butterfly Girl has been consistently getting up to do her chores and be ready for school on time every morning with out one complaint......I watch little man as he prays for his brain to start working right. He doesn't want to get in trouble again. I watch Gentle Giant go quietly off into his room to study. Some how I missed it.....Some how over the summer while he was away......He grew up and turned into a man, or so it seems.
I'm still here in all of this.......The wonderful, busy, crazy, grace filled, teachable moments..........And I'm learning as we live life. I'm learning that all days will not run smoothly....but in all ways He is there in every moment. In every teachable moment and if I slow down, take a deep breath and swallow GRACE I will find LIFE and all that it holds............

khao-chae @ MO outlets
Khao-chae, again!
After too much khao-chae enlarged my little tummy, I went to a Mandarin Oriental's outlet for her classic summer dish, food of my fond.
And, it was khao-chae, again!
There are three parts to khao-chae - parboiled rice, jasmine scented icy water, and tidbits or side dishes. Celebrity (Thai) chef Vichit Makura of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Bangkok has a good hand in the jasmine scented water (icy), as well as the tidbits for khao chae. At Sala Rimnaam, Mandarin Oriental's Royal Thai restaurant, khao chae serves (only) during lunch, on the buffet table. I don't like Sala Rimnaam Thai buffet; and, I don't like the all-you-can-eat concept for khao-chae. I prefer it is served elegantly in set, not self service. Luckily, the Hotel's other outlets, came to my rescue. Khao-chae at the Salon de L'Oriental (at the Emporium), and L'Escape de l'Oriental (at Siam Paragon), served in set. Available throughout April.

Mmh.. in the photo. TC, may I ask if you change your AWB (Auto White Balance) when you took this photo? This is the key point to this guess though I wouldn't tell why now. Then the hint is on the white balance together with something in the photo. Mmh... I need to have Pixmation check on this and give me advice too....
- 06 April, 2011 09:58
Wow too much iPhone iPad xbox wii games and now exciting TC guessing game returns!
I know what you really like (love) in the Oriental cafes, so it is not fair if I place a guess. As, it will not be a guess, but an answer though!
The picture shown does give us hints.
- 06 April, 2011 10:13
Well you did mention that you like to eat that Chiangmai noodle - khao soi, kind of love with it, so let it be that!
- 06 April, 2011 13:04
- Stella said...
How come you guys can see some hints from the photo? I see nothing there as the plate is blank.
My guess is either the 1st or 2nd dish but more towards the 1st one(Khao Soi/Chingmai Noodle) because you have a spoon there so there'd better be some soup for the spoon.
Fried rice shall be out since you mentioned "noodle+set".
- 07 April, 2011 00:13
This is so fun.
I like guessing game.
I think this shall be the wonton noodle soup.
- 07 April, 2011 00:15
- Fillet-O Fish said...
Oh sorry I am late here but never too late to join the fun.
I see an empty plate, Chinese spoon and chopsticks, so in theory it is something in soup. Then I recall how we eat dried noodle with wanton, barbecue pork rice, and single plate dish when we were boys. Also with a pair of chopsticks and spoon.
I have heard that TC loves the rainbow trout and trio soup there, but both are definitely not use a pair of chopsticks to help.
Yes TC loves khao soi noodle, and TC also loves khanon jeen noodle. But I see there is an "else",
So this can be anything, soup or dried. The focus shall be on what what is good at the Mandarin Oriental Coffee Shop that TC is "fond" of!
I reserve my guess until TC gave us more hints. TC, you will right?
Do I qualify for a CSI post?
- 07 April, 2011 01:32
With a pair of chopstick and Chinese spoon, TC was definitely going there for noodle soup, and it was khao soi the Northern noodle I guess.
- 07 April, 2011 04:36
- in the sea said...
I saw TC used chopsticks to eat pizza. The spoon was used for holding on the other end. It's because when you eat pizza with fork and knife, the topping and sauce will fall out. If you use your fingers to hold it, it is quite dirty. Maybe it's another fusion food. I still need to see if it's with some light effect. My hint is that in those MO outlets, what would you feel normally? Check on the table. I think some photographers being MO fans should know what I mean. :)
- 07 April, 2011 09:33
- Thailand Club said...
@Sea: i didn't change the AWB when i took this pic, but, i did it in photoshop .. hehe u don't need Pixmation to check with it, u almost got me; oops, pizza is a good guess of the "else", btw, i just ate pizza last night in a six-table bistro near MBK, run by an Italian and his lover, very good and inexpensive
@Stella: good guess!
@FishBurger: yes u qualify the CSI job, but u also saying nothing here, pls guess, no more hints, sorry pal
@Sea: u r right, the lovely Mandarin Oriental, they will provide every method a customer wanna eat his food (as long as it is legal), so ..
- 07 April, 2011 14:31
- Stella said...
Hi SEA,
I did look and look and enlarge at the table but did not find any hint.
Hi TC,
Your "noodle" word is gone already, only left with "set...".
Fast reaction huh. :)
- 07 April, 2011 23:39
- in the sea said...
Thanks for that. Now at least I know more.. :) Stella, you don't need to enlarge the photo. TC has his habit to eat some of his favourite food in various MOs. Each outlet has its characteristics. Why I asked about the AWB is to ........
Maybe I am now into taking photos, something on the photo is the hint to me. This thing is the fundamental thing in photography. Without it, a photo can never be made. :)
- 08 April, 2011 07:35
- Fillet-O Fish said...
I agree, TC has his habit to eat different favourite food in various MO's. From the only picture shown, TC maybe at the MO's Emporium cafe. I think Sea may agree with me!
With a pair of chopstick and Chinese spoon, khao soi shall be the number 1 suspect. But TC also mentioned "else", and as I know TC pretty well, his "else" shall mean what he really ate and to show us later in the post. Also the chopstick and spoon maybe just some smoke!
Now TC forces me to guess. I shall say it was fried rad na noodle. Because at MO's Emporium, TC always orders fried rad na noodle, khao soi, and sirloin steak.
TC, shall you honour the CSI master degree to me?
- 08 April, 2011 13:24
- pixmation said...
personally the trio soup, the curry dishes and the tea set sound very yummy to me.
- 08 April, 2011 18:10
345 baht is exactly the price of a wontan soup noodle in the coffee shop.
- 08 April, 2011 19:08
- in the sea said...
Wow.. Fillet O Fish, a good guess! Yes, I guess it's Emporium. Why? It's the light reflecting on the table. It shouldn't be at Verandah because Verandah has different ceiling bouncing back light. Siam Paragon has a more enclosed "round everywhere" lighting. So It has to be the one in Emporium. Emporium has more direct lighting. So I noticed on the table on such direct lighting. Now that we can lock up the location - Emporium! Also the table mat in Emporium MO is different from the others (where those others use a mellow green table cloth). We can narrow the guess on what TC likes at MO outlet in Emporium. I am pretty sure it's not on what he listed. It's the "else"....
Pixmation, I still 10000% urge you to pay a visit to BKK. The lobster bisque in this MO outlet and Le Normandie (at their mother base MO) are super super good. I'll of course be so much pleased to be a tour guide, but you need to do some exercises with your tummy stretching for at least 3 months in advance. :)
- 08 April, 2011 19:43
- Stella said...
Funny the only photo in this post was gone tonight. Only the words there. This is not the only time there is no photo for a post but later tomorrow it may show up again.
Don't know why.
The guessing is getting fun now.
I agree with SEA that Pixation shall visit BKK asap before US dollar further depreciates.
- 08 April, 2011 23:50
He can also eat onion soup with spoon, and use the chopstick to eat cheese and bread.
- 09 April, 2011 04:18
- in the sea said...
I can still see the photo. Actually using chopsticks is quite hygiene considering our mouth won't touch the chopsticks.
- 09 April, 2011 08:57
- Thailand Club said...
@FishBurger: very CSI, yes u got the master degree, but doesn't mean u hv the right guess though!
@Pixmation: the trio soup is too good not to be missed if u visit the MO's Salon de L'Oriental at the Emporium, with Sea being ur guide u will love Bangkok ..
@Anonymous 08-April 19:08: do u remember price of every dishes in MO's outlets? anyway cannot say the wanton soup is the answer (btw, if u leave ur name in the comment the fun will be enhanced)
@Sea: both u and FishBurger r observant enough, very CSI
@Stella: the photo is there, it is ur browser's problem, next time, if u don't c a complete page in Firefox, u may switch to IE, or the vice versa; i am on Flock and Chrome, they r reliable browsers
@Tommy: French onion soup is a good guess, and it made sense, as i did that (remember!) before
- 09 April, 2011 14:44
- Stella said...
The photo is back tonight TC.
- 10 April, 2011 00:58
- in the sea said...
Mmh... there are several choices such as:
1. Chinese afternoon tea set - siu mai/har gao plus a Yunan Po Er Tea...etc.
2. Lobster E-fu noodle.
3. Beef noodle soup.
4. Chicken rice.
5. Garoupa filet stir fried choy sum on noodle.
6. Thousand year egg shred pork congee.
7. Siu Lon Bao with soy bean drink.
8. Miso pork ramen.
9. Baked pork chop on rice.
- 10 April, 2011 08:20
I think it is a fried noodle dish.
- 10 April, 2011 15:50
Now you told us it is 345 baht++ therefore it shall be easier for them to guess! I lost my rights to the guess since TC told me early in MSN. Guys don't focus on noodle. Think very Thailand. Some culture!
- 11 April, 2011 02:55
- in the sea said...
Correct. In fact, it can be Khao Chae. MO's Khao Chae is different from other Khao Chae. Also the title is tea time, again. So it should be something like a set but not that filling. :)
- 11 April, 2011 09:07
345++ baht happened to be the price for khao chae set in the Oriental Shops, Salon de l'Oriental, and L'Espace at Siam Paragon.
- 11 April, 2011 11:16
- Fillet-O Fish said...
Reasonable, it may be khao chae, why not, it is still khao chae month!
- 11 April, 2011 15:06
- Thailand Club said...
The answer will be posted within the next 24 hours :-)
- 11 April, 2011 19:45
- Stella said...
I don't see Khao Chae being one of the answer though. Otherwise I will guess Khao Chae.
So either Khao Chae or noodle(my first guess for your first item).
- 11 April, 2011 23:37
In this case I also think khao chae.
- 12 April, 2011 02:45
- in the sea said...
Ah... Bet "Big" and it's "Small" 買大開細. I actually think of the beef noodle in brown soup but THB345 seems to be a bit high. OK, then Khao Chae!
- 12 April, 2011 09:13
- Thailand Club said...
congratulations Fish Burger, Tommy and Sea, yes it is khao chae
Sam, appreciated ur being so gentlemen!
- 12 April, 2011 18:57
- Stella said...
Hey, I guessed Khao Chae too at last minute, after being inspired by Fish Burger, Tommy, SEA, SAM and Anonymous April 11 11:16.
- 13 April, 2011 00:09
- Fillet-O Fish said...
So much sweat, so much smoke, end up it is khao chae again!
- 13 April, 2011 03:45
- in the sea said...
Thanks for this happy fun. Ok, next year, we will have a "radiation free" khao Chae. Cheers for all having taken part in this game.
- 13 April, 2011 10:25
- Thailand Club said...
well, need not wait until next year, in this week post, another guess ..
- 13 April, 2011 17:50
- Stella said...
Good to hear that more guessing game is coming.
Thank you TC for the fun.
Look forward to it.

I received the following stats through email. An eye opener, though it worth for the other to view:
This is not a political statement. It is a management statement.
Pakistanis are a proud people, almost bordering on the arrogance. The cockiness has exacerbated in a last 9 years, when General Musharraf, Shaukat Aziz and the whole economic team were extolling the virtues of the economic turnaround.
Some random numbers that should give one a reality check:
- Pakistan's per capita income is US $ 1,000 (higher on a PPP basis). Singapore's per capita is US $ 26,000 i.e. each person in Singapore is 26 times richer than the average Pakistani.
- The Karachi Stock Exchange is valued at (approximately) US $ 75 Billion. The market cap of one single company in USA, General Electric, is US $ 325 Billion.
- Pakistan's foreign exchange reserves are at US $ 14 Billion. Harvard University has an endowment of US $ 33 Billion. MIT US $ 18 Billion.
- At the height of its economic boom in 1987, Ginza, the financial district of Tokyo (all of nine square miles) had a real estate value higher than the whole of Pakistan.
- The 2008 value of the 5 Top Brands in the world is as follows:
US $ (Billion)
Coca Cola
- The Indian corporate chieftans deploy 130 private executive jets. Pakistans' richest man makes do with a 10 year old turbo-prop.
- Pakistan has GDP of US $ 130 Billion (2007, nominal). By this measure at least 15 corporations (world wide) are larger than Pakistan. The largest company in the world, WALLMART, has an economy THREE times the size of Pakistan.
- The largest MNC operating in Pakistan, an Oil Marketing company (OMC) has an annual turnover which is only point seven zero (0.70) of the parent company. The total assets of the Pakistan subsidiary can be written off without reference to the Main Board.
Perhaps we and our leaders - both political and corporate, can learn to be more humble.
Numbers don't lie.

Kathy Griffin is 'no longer sorry' for beheaded Trump photo
Published On August 30, 2017 | Entertainment News
Comedian Kathy Griffin is saying that she is DONE with apologizing for the beheaded Trump photo that got her into a LOT of trouble earlier this year. In an interview, she stated "why are people still expecting me to apologize and grovel to a man that tweets like this?" Kathy feels that the President and his administration JUSTIFIED the photo with their OWN actions, and that President Trump should be the one apologizing for comments that HE has made. She said "the whole outrage was BS. The whole thing got blown out of proportion."

What price are we willing to pay for entertainment? It varies; hopefully we're not spending the rent money or depriving ourselves of anything basic in our lives for it. There is more than monetary cost to entertainment: a cost to our integrity as good people and people of Faith, and the cost to others.
On October 7, some of the football fans of Kansas City cheered when the quarterback of the Chiefs, Matt Cassel, was knocked out of the game with a concussion. The team hadn't played well on offense, there were calls for him to be replaced going back before the start of the season, and there was criticism of the coaching staff for leaving him in so long even after the injury. After the game, one of the starting tackles for the team, Eric Winston, ripped those who cheered the injury, calling it disgusting and said it made him ashamed to be playing football.
Several prominent columnists and fans have ripped Winston for what he said. There were a few voices on the social media defending the cheering, saying the fans paid good money to be there and had the right do to what they wanted. This is an attitude that isn't only at football games, money seems to give us license to make a fuss whenever things aren't going to our standards. I've even had parishioners use this sentiment about things that are or aren't happening in the Church, whether it be the larger Church or their local parish.
Of course, money doesn't give us a universal license: there are some things we can't do even if we're willing to pay for it. In some places, people pay good money to watch dog fighting and child pornography, but those things are illegal. In ancient times ordinary Romans paid good money to watch gladiators fight to the death and people considered unworthy of life ripped apart by wild animals, but of course we're not living in those days, we've progressed haven't we? Or have we?
I've largely given up football of all kinds since that weekend. I don't spend any money on it, never buy a ticket to a game or apparel, never patronize businesses because they advertise, so my loss won't mean anything to the commercial juggernauts of the NFL or Division I College Football. However, the mounting evidence is young men destroy their minds and bodies beyond repair playing every level of this game, and the collisions that cause the damage are something that no rule change or equipment advance is likely to remove from the competition. Hard hits are still glamorized despite being decried, it's said players should be protected although there are some hits they can't be protected from: the hit on Cassel wasn't flagged for unnecessary roughness and probably shouldn't have been in the context of the rules of the game. The NFL seems to be as big a bastion of public hypocrisy as any government. It seems that this sport isn't worth the investment of my time and affection. I'll own that my opinion isn't worth anything to anyone other than me.
My interest in any sport is strategy: I'll own that. The only sport I was ever any good at was Chess. I love baseball and college basketball, and since that weekend I've been watching a lot more soccer. Risk is part of everyday life, and no sport, even chess, is totally safe for its participants. Football is the only major sport that requires collision, where high impact contacts are a basic part of the game. Should guaranteed destruction be part of any legal sport in this country? Should we spend time, emotion and money on something that certainly cripples those who take part in it, even they to do it willingly? In 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt almost outlawed football due to a rash of deaths on the fields of a much more primitive version of this game.
I'm not going to say outlaw football or anything stupid like that. If one of my friends wants to hang out and watch a football game, I'm not going to give a lecture or refuse to watch and spend time with them: after all, the friendship is more important than the game. The past few weeks I've dodged the ESPN channels, and that's been more of a major reorientation of my life than skipping football games on weekends. It seems for every story of success and redemption there are more of suffering and lives undone. I'm watching other sports, maybe in a few weeks I'll understand soccer strategy. I know people will keep playing football and patronizing it: that's all right, I won't be your judge if you do. For the sake of my friends and those around me, I hope my favorite teams get better and my not favorite teams get worse, but I'm not going to tune in again. The fact I can't stop it shouldn't affect whether I watch or not: a judgement about whether I think something is moral entertainment shouldn't depend on someone else's willingness to do it.
For me, it brings up a question that doesn't seem to get asked very often of any activity or attachment: it this worth it? I found out enough about the plot of the book and movie The Hunger Games that I've refused to read or watch it, even though many of my friends told me it's a wonderful story. In my mind, this kind of horror wasn't worth it, even though I understand it's a dystopian tale. It seems that all kinds of passing activities are acceptable, all kinds of relationships are all right, all kinds of entertainment are fine if they make us feel good and what it costs or how it affects others doesn't matter. Perhaps someone will make a thrilling adventure movie soon about going to Hell to light a cigarette (if you do, I demand a cut–lol).
Faith comes into this: if I'm a Good person, should I seek an entertainment based on something I think is based on a violation of human dignity? I'm not talking about movies: seeing Evil portrayed can help us find Good, and sometimes Evil is worth a good laugh. After all, movies aren't real, and unless they're made by deceiving the actors or using slave labor, I don't have a problem no matter how dumb they are. Real pain and suffering as entertainment is what should be questionable. As Christians, we are meant to be healers of pain and suffering, to be a means of peace. Blood sports should make us sick.
So I'm not watching football. I am paying attention to when the games are, since I drive I-435 on weekends past the stadium. I'll listen to people talk about it: I'm enough of a snob about enough things not to add to the list willingly. The sport doesn't need me and I don't need it, and I'll go back to watching Mike and Mike in the Morning after the Super Bowl. I only wish more of us would seriously question what we do more often, especially for entertainment, and consider what the cost is to ourselves and to others.

TRANSLATION OF THE agoria online article published 25/10/2016
On the occasion of the recent 60th General Conference of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the member of Agoria BATS presented to interested IAEA delegations a solution to enable the fight against a possible new threat of the international terrorism: the use of drones as a terrorist weapon.
Terrorists drones
The message delivered by BATS at an IAEA meeting "parallel", organized by Agoria in cooperation with the IAEA and the Belgian Embassy in Vienna, could not have been clearer: the company has demonstrated, through an introductory video, how easy it was for terrorists today to commit acts of terror, attract media attention and to create panic within the population by using drones available on the market. In this video clip, a pilot shows how, using a submachine gun mounted on one of these drones, he shattered the rear window of a car and enter it to finally explode.
IAEA officials were taken aback by noting how easy it was, in fact, to penetrate into the perimeter of a nuclear power plant or any other critical industrial site with a drone and spread panic with an explosive charge.
The bunker housing the reactor of a nuclear plant is certainly designed to withstand the impact of a plane, and therefore also to some explosion, but panic can be triggered by terrorists through these new means, however, thought-provoking to measures to fight against this new threat. Drones now used for useful purposes, to distribute packets, perform visual inspection of gas lines or make measurements for agricultural applications, could in the future be equipped with a machine gun and explosive charges.
"Jammers" as the solution
The solution developed by the member company BATS against "terrorists drones" is twofold. It consists, in a first step, in a three-dimensional detection through a radar specially designed for this purpose, able to distinguish between a drone and a bird, for instance. A second device, the "jammer", will then scan all radio frequencies within a large bandwidth to scramble the unmanned drone radio signal, so that they become uncontrollable. A drone is generally programmed so that in the event of loss of control, it interrupts its flight, but remains in place until full discharge of the battery, before crashing to the ground. It can then be intercepted or destroyed remotely. BATS "jammer" may further blur the GPS signal without radio control drones, moving toward their goal on the basis of only GPS coordinates.
Both methods allow to intercept and neutralize any drone currently available on the market. Tests conducted by BATS on the field with a series of drones and radio controls resulted in a 100% neutralization score.
The radar system coupled with "jammer" is intended for passive securization of critical sites or facilities that may be threatened by drones. We think especially about sensitive industrial facilities, but also about places such as football stadiums, etc.
Technology moves faster than legislation
In this session, a Hungarian IAEA delegation highlighted the paradox of our society, where technology evolves faster than the law. It would invest in technologies such as BATS, but noted that the legal framework governing the use of drones was not even established yet. On what basis could it seek permission for the integration of security systems against these items?
BATS noted pragmatically that the terrorists did not care for the future shape of the EU legislation on the protection of privacy and the safe use of drones ... The technology exists and therefore there is an absolute necessity to act, to the extent that this technology may be misused.

In the process of doing my makeup everyday, I often times find the perfect combinations. An eyeshadow that pairs beautifully with a blush. A lipstick and lipliner combination that's made for each other. I decided I will start sharing those everyday little finds, this post will be one of many Perfect Pairings.
Now, bring in Revlon's Colorburst Lipgloss in Rosepearl, and we have something amazing. I already really like the idea of pairing blush and lip colors in the same family, but this is just... nice. The slightly darker rose color is beautiful on the lips and brings out more of the warmer tones in the blush. Yet, both are still very natural and easy to wear.
What do you like pairing together?

Snow Angels, finally!
Last year some time, my children saw a tv show mentioning snow angels. They were intrigued, and made angels all over the place - mostly carpet angels and grass angels, but also sand angels on the beach.
Today, we made snow angels.
And generally enjoyed the snow.
And other excitement - our newest niece has arrived to join the family - we're all delighted.

Hi Leah - I love your pic of the tall tall gums above the snowy ground - we have yet to go up the mountain to see the snow here in Hobart, but I'll have to get the children to make snow angels when we do! thank you for sharing :>

I'm impossibly jealous! I love that first photo, because although I'm used to seeing snowy hillsides, snow on the flat is less commmon!

The field of Women's and Gender Studies is interdisciplinary. Calling upon such fields as history, economics, psychology, health, music, literature, and visual arts, Women's and Gender Studies encourages students to understand the position of women in society. The interdisciplinary nature of Women's and Gender Studies fosters an active examination of varying influences upon women's and men's lives, such as race, class, ethnicity, gender, sex, sexuality and age. The Women's and Gender Studies Department provides students an opportunity to think about the construction and influences of gender in contemporary society, to discover the historical factors that have shaped the current status of women from varying backgrounds and countries, and to explore paths to achieve equality for all people.
Core Major Learning Outcomes
Concentration-Specific Learning Outcomes
Gender Studies: Identify and evaluate the social construction of gender and the ways gender intersects with other forms of identity
Politics, Justice and Policy: Explain the gendering of our socioeconomic and political worlds and the individual and collective components of social change
Cross-Cultural Inquiry: Identify, compare, and evaluate culturally and historically specific ideas of gender, sex, and sexuality
Arts and Letters: Apply a feminist perspective to the study of literature, history, and/or the arts.

Youngsters repeatedly passed over by potential adoptive parents are to meet families over food, drink and games.
Adoption parties that bring hard-to-place children together with prospective parents over food, drinks and games are to be held by the British Association for Adoption and Fostering.
The agency hopes that the controversial events will increase the chances of finding homes for young people repeatedly passed over by potential adoptive parents, such as those aged over five, sibling groups, children of black and minority ethnic origin, and those with mental and physical disabilities.
"It's true that these parties show we are moving up the tariff of risk in the ways we are being forced to seek out families for these children," admitted Mo O'Reilly, director of child placement for the BAAF. "But the truth is that if we don't take this step, these children face the even greater risk of remaining unplaced, perhaps for ever. The project will help children for whom all other family-finding methods have failed and who face a life of multiple moves around foster homes.
"We need to go to the next level for these children," she said. "At the moment, they're not finding families because their disadvantages are building up in the adopters' imaginations, stopping them being able to see the ordinary children behind their difficult circumstances or behaviours.
"This is not just about putting some jelly and ice-cream in a parish hall and inviting everyone along," she added. "We are going to hold these parties professionally and in the best way that we know how, and we are pretty optimistic that these parties could be a success."

Yesterday I signed Benjamin up in our county's Mini Soccer Program for kids 3-5 years old. The MSP meets for seven Saturday only sessions that last about an hour. The Spring 2009 season dates are April 18, 25, May 2, 9, 23, 30 and June 6, with a rain date of May 16th. Ben is in the under three group because they place the kids by their age as of August 1, 2008. He turned three in October.
Here's a description of the program:
Soccer activities will be conducted by professional trainers who have a special talent for working with the youngest of players. A volunteer coach will manage the team and assist the trainers all seven weeks. Emphasis is on enhancing player abilities in a fun environment. Players will participate in age appropriate drills and games that will help build a solid foundation for skills to be learned later. Please do not expect the same "structure" and games for the U3's that you see older players do. The U4's will start to play games when they are developmentally able.
Benjamin participated in an outdoor introduction to the sport this past Fall at his old day care and he enjoyed himself. He's also played indoor soccer in the gym at this new day care. We took him to his first D.C. United game last June and he really loved the game. Still talks about it. We've also set up places in the house where we play mini games as seen in the picture below.
There is a chance for parents to volunteer and I may do so after this Spring session, either assisting the coaches or something administratively. During this session, I plan to be on the sidelines watching and taking pictures. Benjamin was excited once I told him the news yesterday.

Since my posts here at at I'm Just Not Impressed last week, I've been thinking a lot about what not-dieting and not feeling guilty really means.
First, I feel like I need to acknowledge that I am coming at this from a position of relative privilege. I am not obese. Truly, I am barely overweight. Realistically, most people are not going to look at me and say "OMG, that woman is fat." I suspect that fully dressed in my work clothes and heels, very few people would even look at me and think that I need to loose a few pounds. Part of how I see myself is body image dysphoria and I know that – and part of that dysphoria – and this is also where some of the privilege comes in – is that I tend to think of myself as a thin person, so I see myself in pictures or naked in a mirror and think, do I really look like that? To the extent that there is any validity to BMI or weight charts, I fall into the overweight category, but by 10-20 lbs.
I am likewise privileged in that I know, in the recesses of my mind, that if I did deny myself that cookie or that scoop of mashed potatoes and ate mostly salad for a while and exercised 40 minutes a day five days a week, the pounds would drop off and I'd be that skinny person I see in the mirror. And hell, when I put it like that, it sounds almost easy, doesn't it? I was almost 20 lbs lighter two years ago (which was still 10 lbs more than what I thought of as my ideal weight at the time). Then I went on medication that packed those 20 lbs on.
I do need to exercise more. I just do. It's not a matter of losing weight, it's a matter of feeling less pain in my shoulders and joints and feeling stronger and more capable and being able to swing my son over my shoulders and run around and play with him like a maniac. And hell, being able to actually touch my toes with locked knees for the first time in my entire life, even when I was 21 and weighed 128 lbs.
I also need to eat better – not in a self denial way, but in a less saturated fat more fruits and veggies because my cholesterol is on the edge of being too high and I eat like crap. Food I don't even really like, like McDonald's kind of crap because I am busy and don't feel like cooking. And again, I feel better when I eat better food. Garbage in, garbage out, ya know?
Not giving into the guilt though – it's amazing how that works. Because if I have a cookie or a piece of chocolate or a mocha latte, I'm not "being bad" anymore. So I can eat just one, because whatever it is that I would have beaten myself up over just a month ago is no big hairy deal. I haven't ruined my diet. None of this in for a penny, in for a pound crap. I can eat just one Hershey's kiss and not feel like I need to eat the whole wee bag that theoretically is in the car as an after-school treat for the kidlet (who also needs to eat less McDonald's and more fruit). I don't need to binge and overindulge, because there is no baggage associated with putting this stuff in my mouth anymore.
But, you might say, doesn't the fact that you keep nattering on about this suggest that perhaps you are not as comfortable with the idea as you say you are? And I will totally grant that it is constant work. It is, in a way, diet vigilance of a different type, this idea of not judging myself (and, not-so- incidentally, other women[1]) for what I put on my plate and in my mouth. It is a sad commentary on the state of the world that it feels almost radical to suggest that "being good" has nothing to do with self denial and that food is not a reward or punishment. (How many times have any of us said when picking at bowl of lettuce, "well, I was really bad yesterday"?) I still think about what I eat – nutritious meals and a balanced diet don't mysteriously appear three times a day anymore now than they did a few weeks ago. But I find myself approaching things differently. I find myself listening more to my body about the food it needs than my mind about the comfort it desires.
[1] I want to say, for the record, that this absolutely includes those of you who I know are committed to weight loss through a variety of means.

College Football Fans Torched ESPN For Using Taylor Swift's New Song To Promote FSU vs Alabama
Saturday night the #3 ranked Seminoles of Florida State (my alma mater) will take on the #1 ranked Alabama Crimson Tide in Atlanta. This will be the first college football game in Atlanta's new Chick-fil-A Stadium, and it's the biggest Week 1 game in the history of college football. That's not hyperbole. You can hate Bama and FSU all you want, but never before have two teams ranked this high faced off in Week 1 of the college football season.
To hype up this game, ESPN foolishly used Taylor Swift's dumpster fire new song 'Look What You Made Me Do' in a promo video:
College football fans, myself included, are extremely not okay with ESPN using this garbage ass song to hype up the biggest Week 1 game in history. As you might expected, the Twitter reactions are nothing short of spectacular:
