We are paranoid! Even we don't know why? –Louise, my ride met was briefing me about the rules and regulations on how to ride in Honolulu, especially in Waikiki beach area.

Now Reading: Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach.
Just Finished: Prayers to Broken Stones by Dan Simmons.
I chose this book for the RIP challenge. I have now completed "Peril the Third," which is to read one suitably scary, eerie, mysterious, or gothic book between September 1 and October 31. I have also technically completed "Short Story Peril," although I have a particular other short story in mind for that challenge.
On with the review. It is always interesting to read an author's earlier work, especially when you've started with later stuff. The stories in Prayers to Broken Stones were originally published in the Eighties (mostly), and a few of the stories have an air of the time about them. (One or two even engage in parody of televangelists.)
Now, I enjoyed some of these stories a lot (some less so). I'll just go through and mention a few that stood out to me. First of all, "The River Styx Runs Upstream," was the story that launched Mr. Simmons' career. (The story of that is in the introduction.) Death can be reversed through technology, but the process apparently isn't without its flaws. A distraught father brings a boy's mother back changing the remaining lives of the family forever.
Next, "Death of a Centaur" was a story about a schoolteacher who moved to a small town and became dear to his students. Although the story is not particularly spooky, part of it is a story within a story that the teacher would tell to his students. I immediately recognized some of the imagery— a sea of grass crossed by ships, farcaster portals, and even a version of the Shrike— from the author's Hyperion series.
"Metastasis" was a story about a man whose head injury allowed him to see things that were out of phase with everyday reality. He discovered that aliens or creatures from another dimension were haunting the human world. The beings randomly sow humans with worm-like creatures: their food. Side effects include, of course, cancer.
Two more short stories, "Remembering Siri" and "Carrion Comfort" were developed into longer works. "Carrion Comfort" is about three old friends who have the power to control others with their minds. For sport, they induce their victims to kill one another. Suddenly, one of the three tires of the game, and suddenly finds herself under attack from an unknown adversary.
If you are looking for dark, Twilight Zone style fare, with undead creatures, visitors from other planes, and occasional gruesome violence, this book may be right up your alley.

Off road driving in Morocco is awesome! It is such a shame that most travelers heading to Morocco on the tour have very limited time to see the country. There are some amazing pistes where one can see the country in different way and for sure you might not encounter any tourists.
One of them is the pass that cuts through the volcanic mountains of Sarhro, other the pass between Dades and Todra Gorge or even the one that goes from Rose Valley towards the Dades Gorge.
Your so right! I actually enjoyed the back country areas more than the cities and it was amazing to be out on the Sarho Massif and see almost no one else and certainly no other tourists in such an amazing landscape. I'll be posting on that journey eventually in hopes of convincing others to get a little more off the beaten track!Delete

In the media
The Blue Light Theatre Company is a talented and friendly group with a mixture of Ambulance staff and performers from the York area. Every year they volunteer their time, services and skills in order to put on humorous and enjoyable performances of old and new stories which usually ends up in popcorn-spitting laughter for our audience and actors alike!
Craig, a Clinical Supervisor Paramedic with the Yorkshire Ambulance Service, has been involved in theatre in York for the past 30 years, performing in over 60 shows.
Theatre credits include: Tom Thumb, 'Barnum'; Chino, 'West Side Story'; Seymour, 'Little Shop of Horrors'; David, 'Company'; Benny Southstreet ' Guys and Dolls'; Bullfrog, 'Honk'; Cosmo, 'Singin' in the Rain';

Directorial credits include: Funny Girl, The Music Man, Summer Songs, Return to the Forbidden Planet, Snow White & the 5 Aliments, Aladdin of Aagraphobia, The Fairytale of Hypochondria, Oz-Mania and 'Bean-Stalked!'.
Craig is delighted to be working with such a talented group.
Perri works as a Dispatcher in the
Emergency Operations Centre in York. She has been involved in Theatre for many years, performing many major roles such as 'Fanny Brice' in 'Funny Girl', 'Carrie Pipperidge' in 'Carousel', 'Tuptim' and 'Lady Thiang' (1998 & 2014) in the 'King and I', 'The Wicked Witch' in 'The Wizard of Oz', 'Marion Paroo' in 'The Music Man'; 'Lottie Ames' in 'Mack and Mabel'; 'Mrs Smith' in 'Meet Me In St Louis', 'Anita' in 'Vincent River'; 'The White Witch' in 'The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe' and many more.

Putting our Pantos together is a lot of hard work but she loves every minute!
From the age of 3 Devon has been involved in Dance, beginning her training at Barbara Taylor School of Dance. In 2006 Devon began performing with New Earswick Musical Society.
Devon graduated from York St John College with a degree in Contemporary Dance and it was during this time that Devon was approached to choreograph a routine for the 'Speak for Sally' fundraising evening.
After this she couldn't wait to be involved in all of our Panto productions; choregraphing them all!
Devon also performs on stage peforming many major roles.
Mark was introduced to the theatre by his dad as a baby he was taken to rehearsals and shows and was looked after by whoever was free while his dad was on stage. Mark soon caught the acting bug and joined his dad on stage at the age of 9.
His Theatre credits include: Sir Andrew Argucheek, Twelfth Night, Adam Kessel, Mack and Mabel, Harry, My Fair Lady, Guron, Princess Ida, Antonio, The Gondoliers, Humpty Dumpty, Humpty Dumpty The Panto, Humphrey, Jack and the Beanstalk, Hocus Pocus, the witch doctor, Robinson Crusoe panto.
Mark was also Co-Producer/Set and Lighting Designer for the following shows: Gilbert and Sullivan's, The Mikado, The Gondoliers, Iolanthe, Princess Ida and the story of Gilbert and Sullivan.
Mark felt privileged to be asked to understudy the role of one of the two genie's in Aladdin of Aagrahphobia, and eventually took on the role, at short notice, as well as playing several other cameo roles. Mark has stayed with the company taking on many major roles but also 'off stage' as our Publicity Officer.
Christine joined the Blue Light Theatre Company alongside her husband, Mark, who is in the current show. Christine has always enjoyed sewing, having gained a grade A in the old fashioned O Level Needlework and was even Costume Manager and Assistant Stage Manager at the same time in a show.
Previous shows costumed by Christine have been; 3 mixed musicals revue shows, Robinson Crusoe panto, My Fair Lady and Jack and the Beanstalk for Tadcaster Theatre Company. Community theatre also includes costumes and make up for a show all in black and white, Shakespeare and church hall pantos on a minimum budget.
It was after assisting with a few shows for New Earswick Musicals, which starred Perri, that she was very quickly persuaded to help with costumes and then became our Wardrobe Mistress. Her proudest costume moment was designing and making the two Ascot Gavotte matching dresses for My Fair Lady.
Nicky spent years being a Nanny in Hull and also spent some time living in the French Alps in a town called Chaminox. 10 years ago she decided to hang up her Mary Poppins bag and join the Ambulance Service as a dispatcher in the EOC; but she still finds time to be creative.
Crafting plays a big part of her life, mainly making 'Nappy Cakes' plus lots of other crafts.
She also enjoys gardening but is great at creating a 'gift with a difference'. Nicky offered her help with the first Panto and it was immediately obvious where her creative talents could be used. Nicky's confidence has grown since that first production and she has also appeared on stage ever since!
Scenery Design/Artist
Lisa is an Art Teacher at Newlands School for Girls in Hull. She has a BA Hons Class 1 in Art and Design Technology and a PGCE in Primary Education. She has taught in both primary and secondary education for 15 years.

Stage Manager
Dave has been a Lighting and Sound Designer on the York theatre scene for many years and is currently Stage Manager and part of the Production and Management Team for the Joseph Rowntree Theatre, having worked with Craig and Perri on many occasions.
Dave lives in York with his family and is pleased to be able to continue helping The Blue Light Theatre Company in our productions for such worthwhile causes.

Jeff has been on stage and behind it for many years with his most celebrated role to date being 'Drake' in Annie. However it is in the scenery and props department where he excels. Along with his wife Lynda their teamwork has provided props for numerous shows in the York area and whenever anything needed making, he always delivered.
Jeff is delighted to be supporting such a worthwhile cause and has provided all the scenery for this performance. It was once said "Every home should have a Jeff" for his skills in making and fixing things - how right they are!

Industrial hygiene, occupational health and safety teams work with a wide variety of equipment as part of their day to day operation. All of this equipment provides a core service to hygiene, health and safety professionals, and has changed the way that organizations can monitor and manage exposures. However, EHS equipment management and tracking is a task that many look upon as, at best, an inconvenience – busywork that distracts them from their "real" work of improving the health and safety of their employees.
This paper, by Medgate Safety expert Shannon Crinklaw, discusses how an EHS equipment management system is central to any risk management and compliance program, and defines two key best practices that will ensure the maintenance of your equipment and the accuracy of your measurements.
Download the paper and find out:
- How to be sure you can prove compliance during unexpected audits
- Why automation is a vital part of any EHS equipment management system
- Why a single, unified system will provide much more useful data than separate safety and IH systems

zinc and Al alloy is my interest in cheap/ casting gun manufacture.
As indicated by OH and his bolt experiment, the material is worthwhile. Imagine casting your own AR type upper and lower (of course with some tweaks) using a zinc alloy. Beef up where needed to take up for the lower strength of the alloy.
Anyway, I see a common interest in the casting of this material.

author's note:
I say, we all grow.
However, I will admit: in certain cases, it's really really hard to see.
When I was a plant
in a land of drought
I asked the sky for rain
though I doubted
the atmosphere listened
to such requests
what'd be the harm
in trying?
But when the rain
still didn't fall
I could not maintain
my nonchalance:
in anger, I cursed
that stupid blue blank
and soon discovered
cursing only worsened
the burning
whereas to surrender
in abject defeat
brought me
the cool relief of humility…
but then
as strictures of death
crept into my limbs
the drought began to seem
so unjust.
my ire, and with it, my fire
rose from the cold ashes.
That flame was my life
yet it would devour me
unless I could make peace
with my predicament
and if I was to die
before rain came
I did not want
any extra suffering.
my best logic failed
to calm me
so finally
in desperation
I tried to channel my fire
into a joyous act
of Celebration!
Lacking any formal ritual
I clapped and flapped
in a silly dance–
I celebrated this plant life—
celebrated its crazy ambiguities
celebrated the roots
that sustained me
while holding me captive.
celebrated the leaves
that fed me
yet also gave me this pain.
I celebrated, I celebrated—
not just going through the motions
but truly rejoicing
because now I knew
how much I loved this life—
enough to endure its worst.
And from my celebration
came an ecstasy
of laughter and tears—
I felt myself ascend—
rising, rising
until I finally reached
a lofty rain cloud:
quite proud
I beamed at my accomplishment
but then
from this new perspective
I beheld the obvious:
how a multitude of plants
rose up
from that moon-bone desert—
many of them much higher than I
but whatever their size
they all danced in celebration
of our painful
plant life.

Survival: a poetry book

England need a bit of fire in them rather than more apologies after another failed World Cup campaign, writes Neil Humphreys. Why not take a leaf out of Uruguay's book?
Luis Suarez was banned for biting an opponent and the nation's president, Jose Mujica, called FIFA "a bunch of old sons of b*****s". Now that takes cartoon villainy to new heights. That's Tom trying to stab little Jerry with something really sharp and nasty from the kitchen.
Such blinkered, jaundiced opinions are equal parts insane and inspired. In recent days, the Uruguayans have expressed a level of jaw-dropping defiance that moves past the grotesque and into comedy. In the initial aftermath, their rage against the FIFA machine felt like an audition for Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy. In recent days, they've been out-camping the rogues from the caped crusaders' original TV series.
And if they're playing The Joker, then Roy Hodgson is Alfred; a loyal, softly spoken, slightly drippy, servant to the superstars around him.
Watching England's manager trot gleefully towards the England fans after a paint-strippingly dull 0-0 draw against Costa Rica was the blackest of comedies. Like a puppy dog realizing he might be thrown a bone after all, he scampered across the turf with his shirt-tail wagging and his tongue flapping. And the England supporters reciprocated, giving Hodgson and his morose band of multi-millionaires a standing ovation.
After a week enduring the football equivalent of a Joy Division album, Three Lions fans danced like Jive Bunny on a loop. The atmosphere couldn't have been any more twee and quintessentially English if Hodgson had donned his white Alfred gloves, poured the tea and sliced the cucumber for the sandwiches. All that was missing were Dames Maggie Smith and Judi Dench in flowery, wide-brimmed hats lamenting the stifling Brazilian weather.
Relations were cordial, respectful, polite, unfailing English and just a trifle crap.
England's civilized order had to be respected initially. It was very much representative of the mostly Four Weddings and a Funeral crowd wearing the Three Lions jerseys (Brazil was a trip too far for many working class wallets, judging by the average supporter on the flights between fixtures.) There were to be no burning effigies of Hodgson in Brazil. England did get a plucky point against Costa Rica after all.
But as the nation's apologists waffled on about "positives", taking steps towards Euro 2016 and building for the future, nausea started to take hold (for a start, what do the people making this annoyingly asinine comments think the other nations are building? A DeLorean to take them back to Euro 2012?)
The turning point came with José Mujica's ludicrously demented "sons of b*****s" comments. Like a double helix, my opinions on two countries' very different reactions to their failure crossed over.
Two ways to go about it
English to their malleable core, the Three Lions couldn't stop apologizing. With darting eyes and stuttering speech, they took turns to come forward and do their best, bumbling best man from any Richard Curtis romantic comedy. We're awfully sorry for not beating anyone. We're dreadfully embarrassed by each of our rather rubbish performances, we'll try and do better next time, really sorry again about all that.
But the Uruguayans apologise for nothing. They're not just deluded, they are despotic dictator deluded. They are Bond villain insane; utterly devoid of compassion for others and entirely lacking in self-awareness. Whilst ripping the heads off newborn kittens, they spat out one venomous, comically defiant conspiracy theory after another. We've done nothing wrong. It's a set-up. Suarez is God. Sepp Blatter is the devil. We will not stand down. We will show you what will really is. We will kill Keyser Soze's family, his friends and neighbours, his casual acquaintances and a guy he has a sneaky pint with on a Friday after work before we admit to any wrongdoing.
On a certain, admittedly warped, level, such national defiance in the face of global condemnation earns grudging admiration after a fortnight of suffering mealy-mouthed platitudes to England's worst showing in World Cup history.
If an England player embarrassed himself and his country, Hodgson would be clamouring across the seats to be the first to a press conference microphone to offer a contrite, mournful apology on behalf of the offending player, the squad, the country and any remaining British territories, including the Falkland Islands. But Uruguay manager Oscar Tabarez would hail his guilty culprit a national hero, condemn the shadowy forces conspiring to bring his proud people down and then eat the microphone.
The Three Lions could use a little of that South American spite. Uruguay have pinched the best of Churchill, mixed it with their siege mentality, added a soupcon of working class insecurity and created a heady brew that is unapologetic and yet slightly enviable.
In Suarez, they have a local hero who has distilled the very essence of Churchill's finest war rhetoric. He would bite you on the beaches.
His poor, humble background is a clear point of connection with most Uruguayans. They are bonded by a shared poverty. Suarez not only learned his trade on the back streets of Montevideo, he swept them. His childhood was one of permanent struggle and menial part-time jobs. In the eyes of his devoted countrymen, he's been railing against authority figures ever since. Even his eventual apology is somehow construed as a cunning ploy on Suarez's part to engineer a move to Barcelona. Everyone in Uruguay knows his sorry is insincere, but they admire him all the more. He's one of them.
Wayne Rooney says sorry and English folks from a similar background just make fun of his dodgy hair weave. Life can be so unfair for the Three Lions.
So they might as well stop apologizing then. The mumbling, stumbling Hugh Grant routines work with young couples trying to make a good impression on date night, but are less effective at seeing off the likes of Costa Rica in the World Cup group stages. Apologies are out of fashion. Anger is the new black.
Now I'm not suggesting Queen Elizabeth II should start calling anyone within FIFA, or the football community generally, "a bunch of old sons of b*****s". That would be uncouth. But if she's ever asked for an opinion on Qatar hosting the World Cup, she should swear like a drunken sailor.

Not exactly. For any messages sent by the backend service that expect a reply, we create a new temp queue and attach it to the source message. Since the temporary queue objects are supposed to be closed, as defined by the JMS API, when the original connection is closed, creating a new temp queue per source message seemed the right way to do it. In fact, all of the docs and discussions I read implied that was the way you *must* do it for reliable behavior. > We use one or few temporary (or even normal) queues, attach them to > requests using setJMSReplyTo(responseQueue) and match replies by > correlation Id. Therefore, a response queue is (re-)used for multiple > requests, normally until connection to ActiveMQ broker is broken for > some reason. Right, that's the approach I'm considering if I can't figure out why these objects are hanging around. I might give it a go anyway, since we're in desperate need of a fix here. Of course, it's a balancing act -- this code is already in production and was working fine until we started getting heavy usage on this new system. So the ideal fix is one that changes the least amount of code, but perhaps it will require a more invasive fix to truly address the underlying issue. > Creation of any queue or topic is a sync request to broker.

So, for optimal performance you should cache all these > objects and reuse them for as many requests as possible. Actually, that touches on the other issues (which actually clued us into the source of the problem in the first place) -- since all these ActiveMQTempQueue objects are hanging around and not getting cleaned up, they are eating up network bandwidth as they communicate with the ActiveMQ brokers. It isn't high enough to cause us any heartache, yet, but it made the problem obvious. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Problems-with-lingering-ActiveMQTempQueue-objects-tp28771545p28771990.html Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Community Management Concepts of Jacksonville, an Associa company, proudly announces that The Overlook at Baymeadows Condominium Association has been selected as a winner in the 2013 Florida Communities of Excellence Awards.
"I am thrilled that we have been recognized for our efforts in making The Overlook as safe a community as possible for our residents," said Nancy Mingus, board president for The Overlook at Baymeadows Condominium Association.
Managed by Vaida Silva, LCAM, CMCA, AMS, The Overlook at Baymeadows won a Community of Excellence award in the Safety and Security category.
"We are proud of Vaida and The Overlook's board of directors, and are grateful for their tireless efforts in making it an award winning community," said Nicholas Lambiase, Jr., President and CEO of CMC Jacksonville. "The Overlook at Baymeadows is a strong community with an active base of homeowners who consistently put community first. This award validates their hard work and efforts. We are honored to be their association management company and have the pleasure of working alongside them for the betterment of community."
Over the years, The Overlook at Baymeadows has faced several security/crime issues from petty theft, vandalism to car break-ins and burglarized units. The community came together to assess the current situation and begin implementing safety precautions for the benefit of all residents. The community updated the gate system, installed additional security cameras, erected fencing along the side of the property flanked by a commercial development, and contracted with members of the Jacksonville sheriff's office to patrol the property four to six times a week. In addition, the community conducted two separate security assessments and has begun implementing the recommendations.
The results have been a continued relationship with the Jacksonville sheriff's office and an ongoing commitment to creating a safe and secure neighborhood for residents.
"As budget and time permits, we will continue to evaluate improvements throughout the property," Mingus explained. "We are in the process of replacing some of the fencing along Baymeadows Road to prevent people from improperly entering the property, as well as additional lighting and cameras in vulnerable areas. We have recently installed three new stop signs and three crosswalks to improve the safety of pedestrians, as well as directional signs to assist drivers in locating buildings on the property. And we continue to contract with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office to provide patrols on the property, increasing the number of officers making those patrols."
The Florida Community of Excellence Awards program recognizes the work and dedication of Florida's condominium and homeowners associations. Associations are separated into two size classes as they compete in 10 award categories, including civic volunteerism & advocacy, family friendly programs & initiatives, communication & community, Florida-friendly landscaping, energy & water conservation, disaster preparedness, financial innovation and safety & security. Entries are judged by a panel of 32 independent experts from professional associations, business groups and state and local government agencies and departments volunteer their time to make the selections.

The Breeding Research FoundationThe Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Research Foundation is a non-profit organization that studies and protects Giant Pandas.
The Giant Panda is an endangered species. Many panda lives have been saved because of the hard work done by the people who work at this facility.
The Giant Pandas are easily recognizable by its distinctive black eye patches, over the ears and across its body. This stands out against the rest of the fur which is white.
Giant Pandas look like lovable giant teddy bears. The babies are cute as can be. This has been a leading factor in the widespread interest and fascination with the animal.
The diet of the Panda bear is 99% bamboo. They are mammal native to central-western and south-western China. They are a member of the Ursidae (bear) family.

Note: This functionality is a Beta (Testing Feature) and not as complete as we desire. Many of our customers had us shift focus towards the Website Marketing Education for more leads. But we were able to complete a set of starting points and have it documented in order for you to make partial use of working with a subcontractor for bidding on a job with you.
When you want other contractors to give you a price on work you need them to perform or work you are pricing for an estimate to your customer, you would send a" Request for Quote" (RFQ) to that contractor. The contractor would "Bid" on the work you described in the RFQ and then return that Bid back to you for consideration. You can send the same RFQ to multiple contractors at the same time. This allows you to compare one contractor's price to another. You can then take the average price of all and use it in an estimate to your customer or award the job via a work order to the winning bidder.
We created what we title "Click To Share" technology makes this live bidding between contractors possible. To use the RFQ feature, all contractors you intend to send an RFQ must be in your "Contractor List" and a valid email must be present within their record. We plan on expanding the opportunity for you to also search for other MyOnlineToolbox members near you in the "Member Directory". Using current members would add even more job efficiency should the RFQ advance to an actual job.
Because discussions often occur during the bidding process, we provide "Click To Share Communicator". This is live instant messaging where contractors can communicate facts or questions during the bidding process. All communications are logged to this RFQ providing a historical document of the bidding process.
Make sure you always enter a valid email address when adding your contractors to your contractor list. This will allow you to connect with them directly when working on a common job. When connected directly through our "Click To Share" technology, task, work order and job status will update automatically, communication, Invoicing, and payments are much quicker.

Today is Janmastami.Janmashtami also known as Krishnashtami, Gokulashtami and many more.Janmashtami, is an annual celebration of the birth of the Hindu God Krishna.
I am celebrating this auspicious day with traditional Bengali sweet.'Luchir Payesh'.
Though now days this recipe is getting lost from many Bengali kitchen gradually. Luchi is a deep-fried flatbread made of all purpose Flour or Maida.
It is very popular in West Bengal,Assam and Odissa.The difference between luchi and poori is,poori made with atta or wheat flour and luchi made with all purpose flour or maida.Payesh means 'kheer',so 'Luchir Payesh' means luchi or poori or Indian puffed fried flat bread simmered in thickened milk.It is a very delicious and easy recipe.You can make it using leftover luchi or poori or you can make with fresh poori or luchi also. Here I used fresh small luchis or pooris just to keep the shape remain same of luchi or poori in payesh or kheer.If you want you can make big normal size luchi or poori ,then tear into pieces and use.
Cuisine -Bengali Dessert
Preparation Time -15 Minutes
Cooking Time -25 Minutes
Inactive Time-2 hours
Servings -2
Milk-1/2 litre
Condensed milk -1/2cup(or you can use 1/2cup grated crumbled mawa or khoya)
Sugar-2 tablespoons
cardamon powder-1/2teaspoon
Luchi or poori-8 to 9 ( it should be light brown crispy and small )
Pista or Pistachios -6(cut into pieces )(for garnishing )
Varak or Silver Strand-Few
Take a heavy bottomed vessel,preferably non stick,add milk for kheer or payesh.
Bring it to boil ,when milk will start boiling, simmer the gas, add cardamom powder.
Let it simmer till reduced to half the original quantity of milk,stirring in between.
Once the milk thickens a little bit add the condensed milk and mix
Add sugar, stir and simmer till it dissolves.
Add the luchis or pooris one by one,press slightly with the back of the ladle to dip them into the milk properly,mix carefully. Add all the luchis or pooris in the same way. Simmer for two minutes.
Switch off the flame and cover the pan.Let it be cool for 2 hours. Luchi or Poori would soak a adequate amount of milk
so it is necessary to adjust the quantity of your luchi and poori and milk.If it becomes dry then add some extra thickened milk.
Garnish with chopped pistachios and varak.If you want you can add some cashew nut and raising.
For Luchi recipe,please click here.
You can make this recipe with poori also,but it taste good with Luchi.
You can add crumbled mawa or khoya instead of condensed milk.

Hi! I am 58 years old man. I have been suffered from diabetes, Ischemic Cardiomyopathy, and hardening of arteries for a long time. The complecations of diabetes was too hard to bear.
First, insomnia was gone with the use of Genesen Acutouch. Flatulence and perspiration after the meal disappeared also. Bowel movement became regular. Two little fingers regained the strength. The medication for ischemic cardiomyopathy stopped. The pain from knees to ankle is getting better.
When Genesen Acutouch was introduced to me, I doubed.. but I give thanks to God because I regained confidence. I want to give a word of thanksgiving to whom introduced Gensen Acutouch to me.

The famous and every popular Reading Festival is upon us today through Sunday. It is the oldest on-going popular music festival in the world and each year hundreds of thousands of people attend the festival and enjoy the weekend camping and making new friends in between their favourite musical acts. This year, however, those who actually got tickets to the Reading Festival and are intending to go should take note that this festival does not allow sky lanterns.
While this is unfortunate, there are still options for the lover of sky lanterns and/or for the festival goer who believes they are as much a part of the festival experience as camping is. We do not suggest you try to sneak in Chinese lanterns, as they most likely will be confiscated at the gate and if not, could lead to you being banished, without a refund, of course. Instead, we offer these suggestions.
Many people who camp at the Reading Festival will have their cars parked miles away in one of the car parks. If it is safe to do so, launching floating lanterns from the car park can get the sky lantern experience to the festival. If the winds are right, the lanterns can float up and right over the festival and all the festival goers can enjoy sky lanterns without worrying about missing the rest of the festival over launching them.
For the person who was unable to secure tickets to the sold out Reading Festival, a sky lantern launch from across the river from the festival would be a great way to possibly sneak in some of the music from the festival as well as a great launch spot for sky lanterns. Not only a safe launch point, the fun and merry making associated with the launch can be used to taunt the festival goers on the other side of the river who can't have sky lanterns. It may be mean, but it's all in good fun and your sky lantern launch will entertain the crowd, especially if you time the launch to go between bands while people are milling about from one stage to another.
Sky Lanterns are fun and safe when used properly. However, Reading festival's policy towards them is understandable for a festival that large. Previous years when they were allowed saw irresponsible use as well as poor quality products that NightSkylanterns.co.uk has never sold, nor ever will. In a festival environment, our lanterns can be used safely because they are equipped with non-drip fuel cells and are made of quality products and with stringent quality controls. However, our competition cannot claim these things and these lanterns can be dangerous when launched around a large crowd. From paraffin wax dripping onto other festival goers to the lanterns simply falling apart, low-grade lanterns are sold far too often. If Reading Festival goers wish to change the policy, NightSkyLanterns.co.uk is happy to work with the festival to ensure a balance of safety and fun with floating lanterns.

WATER. Jesus first employed the symbol of water to the Holy Spirit when speaking with the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well.
Jesus said, "Everyone who drinks from this water will get thirsty again. But whoever drinks from the water that I will give him will never get thirsty again—ever! In fact, the water I will give him will become a well of water springing up within him for eternal life" (John 4:13-14)
But an hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth. Yes, the Father wants such people to worship Him. God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth (John 4:23-24)
Most English translations do not capitalize "spirit" in these verses. A. T. Robertson links "spirit" to the Holy Spirit.
In spirit and truth (en pneumatic kai alhyeia). This is what matters, not where, but how (in reality, in the spirit of man, the highest part of man, and so in truth). All this is according to the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:5) who is the Spirit of truth (John 16:13). Here Jesus has said the final word on worship, one needed today (RWP).
"The Spirit of Truth," the water that I will give him" and "a well of water springing up within him for eternal life" should be connected with Jesus' invitation at the Feast of Tabernacles and John's explanation.
On the last and most important day of the festival, Jesus stood up and cried out, "If anyone is thirsty, he should come to Me and drink! The one who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, will have streams of living water flow from deep within him." He said this about the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were going to receive, for the Spirit had not yet been received, because Jesus had not yet been glorified (John 7:37-39).
The well of water of John 4 becomes the streams of living water in John 7, a prediction of the ministry of the Holy Spirit that begun at Pentecost and continues until today.
Paul stated that the Israelites during their desert wanderings drank of Christ.
They all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from a spiritual rock that followed them, and that rock was Christ (1 Corinthians 10:3-4).
The rock here is called "spiritual," not from anything special in the nature of the rock, but because it was a source of God's mercy and the rock typified Christ's ministry. Thus, it is implied that the water from it typified the Holy Spirit, who gives life and refreshes the soul, and He would come from Christ after He was struck at Calvary (cf. Exodus 17:6).
Similarly, water foreshadows the Holy Spirit in the typical teachings at the Tabernacle, which symbolize Christ, the believer and the plan of salvation. As the priest entered the door of the tabernacle to worship Almighty God, and to serve, he first came to the altar of burnt offering, which typified the death of an innocent substitute, and the place of blood. This pointed to the Cross of
Christ and the shedding of His blood for our sins. Salvation begins at the Cross, but does not end there. Next, the priest proceeded to the next furnishing of the Tabernacle, the bronze basin.
The LORD spoke to Moses: "Make a bronze basin for washing and a bronze stand for it. Set it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it. Aaron and his sons must wash their hands and feet from the basin. Whenever they enter the tent of meeting or approach the altar to minister by burning up an offering to the LORD, they must wash with water so that they will not die. They must wash their hands and feet so that they will not die; this is to be a permanent statute for them, for Aaron and his descendants throughout their generations" (Exodus 30:17-21).
The washing with water from the bonze basin typifies the washing of regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit.
But when the goodness and love for man appeared from God our Savior, He saved usnot by works of righteousness that we had done, but according to His mercy, through the washing of regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit. This Spirit He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that having been justified by His grace, we may become heirs with the hope of eternal life (Titus 3:4-7).
This washing was for the hands and for the feet. The hands speak of service; the feet speak of walk and of conduct. Jesus used this symbol at the Last Supper when He washed the disciples' feet with water.
"One who has bathed," Jesus told him, "doesn't need to wash anything except his feet, but he is completely clean. You are clean, but not all of you" (John 13:10).
"Bathed" denotes that the washing of regeneration and renewal is once for all, but the washing of the hands and feet is a daily occurrence that involves the Holy Spirit's work in the life of the believer. Blood (Christ's sacrifice) and pure water (the Spirit's regeneration and cleansing) open the way into the sanctuary of God:
Therefore, brothers, since we have boldness to enter the sanctuary through the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that He has inaugurated for us, through the curtain (that is, His flesh); and since we have a great high priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed in pure water (Hebrews 10:19-22).
The clean water of the New Covenant typifies the Holy Spirit's cleansing work.
I will also sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. I will cleanse you from all your impurities and all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. I will place My Spirit within you and cause you to follow My statutes and carefully observe My ordinances (Ezekiel 36:26-27).
There is an abundance of water in creation, and when used of the Spirit, it represents the abundant life and His refreshing of the soul. Water is one of the most powerful forces in nature. God used it to destroy the world in the days of Noah. Yet, water produces energy and power when controlled. Water is life giving; man would perish without it. Water is used for cleansing. Hence, the symbol of
water includes eternal life springing from the Spirit, and the power, abundance, and cleansing of His ministry.

At the end of the day, you won't get glowing reviews of facebook culture from me, but you certainly will also not get me posting videos or condescending articles about it being the root of all human disconnection and future doom for future generations.
Because I believe facebook to be an influential, often impeccable TOOL for communication, contact, the spreading of ideas, supporting local and distant businesses with meaningful missions, and diversifying common threads of cultural perspective. And, for this, I truly appreciate facebook: As a digital high five of casual contact.
However, if it holds a place in my life greater than mere TOOL and treads into the realm of connection, well, I feel burdened and drained by it. In fact, I find it intrusive and distracting to the things of life that beg my fleshy attention.
And, let's be real. It is often more of the latter. We often go to facebook to connect. To be seen. To be heard. To be vulnerable (seemingly) and to receive validation for that (seeming) authentic expression. To get something external that our internal has displaced. And the more that happens, the more it seeps into our life more formally and deeply than a casual high five.
Case in point: My dog, Sassy, of 12 years passed away recently. Her passing was preceded by a harrowing week of late night seizures and the rapid withering away of a life intrinsic to my family's daily existence, which led to difficult decisions regarding her euthanization. Ugh. Right?
And, I kid you not, as my dog was lying on the floor, her breath slow and limp, her spirit slipping away before the doctor could even administer the IV drip of The End, I felt this heavy, distracting, pulsing presence of my phone in my bag. It was as if I was too far away from the buzz, from the world it held. I wanted to post about what was happening. I even started conjuring up the words I'd write about it. Yes, as this was happening in front of me and as I was crying my heart out and grieving and experiencing the haunting yet beautiful privilege of being with an animal during this time. Right then. Yet, as soon as I acknowledged it fully, the pull shifted from a tug to an invasion. It was as if there were 1,000 people standing in that room yelling their statuses and comments and throwing likes at me like confetti surrounded by party poppers and noise makers while holding signs with pictures of bikinis and beaches and frittatas and and and -
I had let these people in that room. Right there, right then. In that sacred moment. I had opened the door and ushered them in.
This is the danger of looking to facebook for connection. The connection I needed was not knowing about their life or them knowing about mine. It was about me needing to sit there in silent ceremony with my own thoughts, my own vision, my own feelings, my own tears, my own beliefs, my own tether to life's meaning, and to what this amazing dog and spirit needed from me at that exact moment.
This was not a moment for a high five from friends. Nor are many moments of my day, for that matter. This was sacred, just as eating dinner with my kids is and as dancing with my friends is and telling someone I love them is. And, so, I needed to excuse everyone from that room and ban all noise and get back to the connection we as humans have the privilege of experiencing: Divine closeness with an abstract, impossibly out of control fragile unknown, and perfectly capable foundation of our unique self and how it extends to each present moment and those we hold intimately to it.
This is the work. This is the important thing to hear. We don't need to learn to be more self-expressive or communicative. No, we need to practice connecting to whatever we consider divine on a daily basis so that it swims in the tide of our day like salt in the sea.
And this is where I'll state the following: I think we have all taken the good wisdom of Brene Brown and turned vulnerability into a minimal construction like IKEA has done with bookshelves and beds. We hear what she has to say and we've held high hopes that by expressing ourselves and being completely un-withholding, we will attain the level of inner peace and outer acceptance she assures us exists in exchange of vulnerability.
This means we post without restraint, we read without critical analysis, and we peruse others lives without boundary. We have allowed vulnerability and its incredible potential for true connection to that Something Divine to don a disguise of mere self-expression and high-fiving contact.
This is what I'd like to call faux-vulnerability. Faux-nerability, should we need to stay IKEA-esque.
Who can fault us?
We are all desperate to connect, to be seen, and to experience worthiness that vulnerability provides, yet we just haven't taken the time or done the daily (rigorous) practice it is to really dig into that. And the problem is that the connection we get from this faux-nerability is like most other addictions: It's fleeting, flacid, metallic, cold, distant, unhealthy, incapable, and insatiable.
It's not your fault. But, it's also not facebook's fault.
We're human. We're willing to try. And facebook seems like a damn good fit for vulnerability and connection. Yet, "seems" is the key word, isn't it? We all know how we feel after being in that digital land for too long seeking too much. We all know that no matter how empowered and evolved we are, we regress to pubescent eighth graders with one developed half nipple boob on Valentine's Day in terms of insecurity every time we post and await a flurry of responses. There's nothing wrong with you for that. Welcome to the club.
Here's the thing. You're so close to being there. Me too. We want connection. We want acceptance for who we are. We want to live brilliantly on our own terms and communicate our missions and our experiences to the world. This is the redeemable part we need to focus on.
The other remedial part remains here: True vulnerability is not about just speaking your truth. True vulnerability is about sitting in your often ugly, messy truth so squarely that the sludge and the underbelly of you, your past, your stuff, your -isms, your dreams, all come bubbling around. You let it come. You become convinced that it will all suck you under like that quicksand scene with Rodents of Unusual Size in the dank forest in Princess Bride. But, you stay with it. You don't numb out. You don't make it better. You certainly don't apologize for being there. You flail. You react like a toddler. You cry. You pray. You yell at Something Divine. You also ask for help. You tap into an understanding of life bigger than you. You surrender to the idea that you have zero control. You become willing to love yourself still. You accept that you might lose everything. But, you love yourself still - and with mercy. And then - THEN - you don't just write or post or tweedle twat, you act. You do. You be. You become. You move forward. You live with no option to hide. THAT is vulnerability.
Once we do this work, then let's go hog wild with high fives and communication and the conscious escapism that is facebook. Let's let the army of wild distractions in to our life at the moments warranted and be grateful for such technology that allows it.
But, engaging in facebook without doing the real work of connection and vulnerability is like running marathons every weekend without having ever run a block in between. Meaning, you will get injured after the high of the race. And you will eventually burn out the ability to run the marathons you love.
Protect yourself. Use technology for what it is. Practice connection daily. Be smarter than the engines in our culture that beg you to descend into the quicksand of the minimal design of faux-nerability.
And with that final fancy hyperbolic sentence, I feel one step above my most recent facebook status concerning my phone and the passenger seat seatbelt alarm. Cheerio.

Derpy Deliverence is the name of the movement led by a brony name EBecK. This campaign, unlike other Save Derpy campaigns, does not seek mere names and signatures. No, it seeks to gain notice, it seeks to gain attention, it seeks to rally the bronies together that want Derpy restored to her former Derptastic self. It uses a theory thought up by EBecK, to give an idea on how Derpy's change was unecessary. It tells how Derpy was misunderstood to the point of censorship, why we must press on to revitalize her image, how one can show their support, and it is backed up by logic and evidence. This campaign has gone far beyond the potential of any petition or other movement. It has connected with some very potent allies, such as holding an indirect connection to Hasbro, as well as the support of the author of the famed My Little Dashie story; ROBCakeran53.
So why is Derpy important enough to fight for? Well, if you've taken a look around the Internet, wherever there's a group of bronies and a hateful comment that slanders Derpy is made, is there love and tolerance? The answer is no. Before this incident, love and tolerance was valued greatly by bronies, however, after the Derpy dilemma, they became vulnerable to hatred and anger. By restoring Derpy, we also restore the value of love and tolerance as seen by bronies before. Hasbro was indeed regretful of their decision, yet could not see a solution out. One of the primary goals of this campaign is that all bronies band together under the magic of friendship, and find a solution. Once one has been found, Hasbro will be contacted, and Derpy will be restored, available for future episodes in her full derped glory! So let us work as one, fellow bronies, and get Derpy back to her glorified self again!

Muslims also believe that Muhammad, being illiterate, never authored or edited the Quran. The Quran has been intact for over 1400 years.
Refers to the declaration of the Islamic faith, it's also the first pillar of Islam. To convert to Islam, a person must recite the shahada with intention: "I bear witness that there is no God, but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of God."

It's a term given to a rigorist movement. Salafi stems from the word salaf which means predecessor and refers to the first companions of the prophet. This movement preaches the return to the Islamic sources. Many islamist groups identify themselves as salafists.
Sunni Islam:
Largest branch of Islam. The word Sunni comes from the term Sunnah, which refers to the sayings and actions of Prophet Muhammad that are recorded in hadiths (collections of narrations regarding Muhammad). Those who follow the path of Prophet Muhammad are called Sunnis. Unlike Shiites, Sunnis do not contest the authority of the first four successors of Prophet Muhammad.
Salat means "prayer". The performing of the five daily prayers, at dawn, noon, mid-afternoon, sundown, and nightfall is the second pillar of Islam. Muslims have to be in a state of purity when praying and have to do a ritual wash called ablution (wudu). The prayers are always recited in Arabic.
Means "fasting", which takes place in Ramadan, the ninth month of the Muslim lunar calendar. For 30 days, Muslims must abstain from food, drink and sex from dawn to sunset, emphasizing self-discipline and humility. This is the fourth pillar of Islam. Muslims believe that the angel Gabriel revealed the Quran to Muhammad during the month of Ramadan. The fasting ends with the celebration of Eid al-Fitr.

As we start the last month of this calendar year, you might be considering how much your marketing efforts have achieved during 2014.
If you attract clients at least partly through your on-line presence, results can become apparent after only a few months. That gives all on-line entrepreneurs a chance to evaluate how they're doing on a regular basis, adjusting as necessary.
But what if you are not getting the results you aimed for from the start, despite vigilant data collection and evaluation?
Consider these three key factors:
1/ How well do you know your prospects – their current situation and what they are focused on right now?
2/ Maybe you have a really important product or service for your market, yet your messages about it aren't clear enough, strong enough…
3/ When a prospect is interested, are they given an easy path to find out more and start building a loyal relationship with your company?
An honest look at how these are affecting sales can make all the difference in your future marketing strategy. They are what needs to drive successful content on the web.
Once all three are in place and working together, you'll be making better progress toward higher sales. And if your product or service brings new, strong benefits to their purchasers, it's like offering them a delightful experience.
Kinda like a holiday treat or two, wouldn't you think?
