The gospel is the "good news" that Christ died for our sins and God raised Him from the dead (1 Cor. 15:1-4). It shows us:
- We are sinners (Rom. 1 - 3)
- The penalty for our sin is death (eternal separation from God: 2 Thess. 1:5-10; Rom. 6:23; Gen. 2:17)
- Christ has paid our penalty, in our place, and
- His payment for our sin was effective, because God raised Him from the dead.
The gospel is the power of God unto salvation (Rom. 1:16). Faith in Christ's death and resurrection for our sins saves us from just, eternal damnation, and unto eternal life with God. This is the "good news", or "gospel".

Dead Mech, discusses his book, his journey as a writer, and self-publishing on Kindle.
DAVID WISEHART: What can you tell us about Dead Mech?
JAKE BIBLE: Dead Mech takes place hundreds of years after the zombie apocalypse decimates the world. Human civilization has struggled to put itself back together again. Their secret weapon against the zombie hordes: the Mechs. Massive robotic battle machines.
But Dead Mech asks the question: what happens when a mech pilot dies in his mech and becomes a zombie?
And that is how the Dead Mechs are born!
This novel is a high action, fast paced, hell ride through a futuristic wasteland telling the harrowing tale of Mech Base Commander James Capreze and his crew of mech pilots as they battle zombies, cannibals, religious cults and worst of all, the Dead Mechs, all to try and save the human race one last time.
DAVID WISEHART: How do you develop and differentiate your characters?
JAKE BIBLE: I am a dialog writer. I tell so much of my stories through dialog. The characters start to take on their own personalities and develop by what they say. They each play their part in the novel by actively engaging verbally in the scenes. These characters almost come to life on their own, I'm just the guy writing them down.
DAVID WISEHART: Who do you imagine is your ideal reader?
JAKE BIBLE: Well, readers with deep pockets are always nice! But, seriously, my ideal reader is someone that wants to be entertained when reading, can handle a little tongue-in-cheek speculation and understands the importance of well-crafted pulp fiction. I'm not a "hard-science" scifi writer. I put enough technical explanations in my novels to make them plausible, but I'm not a scientist, I'm a writer. My ideal audience will know that the science is there to further the story, not that the story is there to further the science. Have fun, is all I ask!
DAVID WISEHART: What was your journey as a writer?
JAKE BIBLE: I started writing in elementary school. We would have to write our own books and then bind hand-written pages with paper board covers. It got me hooked early. I wrote non-stop up through High School and then after High School, but became disillusioned with the process of having to mail stories off and wait forever to get a response. Life got in the way for over a decade and I had pretty much stopped writing. It wasn't until about 2008 that I noticed all of the online spec-fic magazines showing up and realized the world had finally caught up with my personality! I could now get rejections in just days instead of months! I kept at it and kept at it and soon had stories accepted by several online publications and fiction podcasts. I haven't looked back since.
DAVID WISEHART: What is your writing process?
JAKE BIBLE: I'm a discovery writer. I get an idea, let it sit for a while until an overall story develops in my head and then I start writing. I'll outline a little just to clarify my thoughts, and to make sure I don't forget any important ideas, but two of the last three novels I've written I've scrapped at about 35,000 words and started over. Seems like a lot of work to toss, but I could recycle quite a bit and the novels were much better.
With Dead Mech, however, I created a whole new literary form: the Drabble Novel. A drabble is a micro-story that is written using exactly 100 words. No more, no less. Dead Mech is made up of 100 word sections. In order to do this I had to write and edit each 100 words as I went. This meant a nearly polished novel was in my hands the second I typed "The End." I would also write each 100 words and then print them out, which allowed me to shift the drabbles as needed to get the best narrative flow. It's not a process I would recommend to anyone, it's very labor intensive, but it did teach me economy of words. When you only have 100 words to say what you want then you have to pick those words carefully!
DAVID WISEHART: What authors most inspire you?
JAKE BIBLE: I have had many inspirations through out my life. Poe and Lovecraft have always been influential. Henry Miller and Dylan Thomas. Tom Robbins and Cormac McCarthy. Issac Asimov and Ray Bradbury. The most inspirational author though for me is Roger Zelazny. I love his fantasy/scifi novels and have read every single one. His style is so easy and entertaining, yet complex in it's plotting and structure.
DAVID WISEHART: What one book, written by someone else, do you wish you'd written yourself?
JAKE BIBLE: Going back to Roger Zelazny, I wish I had written Nine Princes In Amber. Zelazny's Amber series is my absolute favorite series ever.
DAVID WISEHART: How have you marketed and promoted your work?
JAKE BIBLE: Well, I first released Dead Mech as free serialized podcast novel. I was able to network with other podcasters and trade audio promos. This help expose me to a very wide audience. I've continued to podcast my short fiction and my current novel, The Americans, which has kept me visible (audible?) out there. I have developed a strong fan base with the podcast and that allows me to get the word of mouth engine rolling. I am also actively blogging on my site and guest blogging on other authors' sites. I use Twitter as my primary daily communication tool and have met dozens of amazing writers that way. I have also been able to strike up very meaningful dialogues with fans and readers. Being able to talk directly to a writer today is what really fires up a lot of readers. If anyone follows me on Twitter, I follow back. Give me a shout, I'll respond and we can chat!
DAVID WISEHART: Why publish on Kindle?
JAKE BIBLE: Kindle has leveled the playing field for writers. It's no longer about how you get your work published, but how good your published work is. I think that is very important. Readers, and I am an active one, know how to sift through the crap and find what they like. I have already had the ability to vet the quality of my work through my podcast, so publishing on Kindle was just a natural extension of that. It is a great way to keep control of my writing while also monetizing it. It's the greatest thing to happen to writers since the printing press, in my opinion.
DAVID WISEHART: What advice would you give to a first-time author thinking of self-publishing on Kindle?
JAKE BIBLE: Pay attention! Edit, proofread, edit, proofread. Get a quality cover done by a trained graphic artist. Have your work edited by an outside editor, not just your friends and family. Pay the money needed to put out quality work. If you put crap out there then all of your hard work will go down the drain and any prospective readers you may get in the beginning won't return. Don't cut corners, don't scrimp and don't publish unless you KNOW your novel is ready. You can't hurry art.
Also, read blogs by other authors publishing on Kindle. Do research into the industry. Ask questions. look for help if you need it. The internet is the greatest tool writers' have at their disposal. Educate yourself thoroughly and then dive in with open eyes and an open mind!
DAVID WISEHART: Thanks, and best of luck with your books.

Earring Design
when making your loop, after you have bent the pin down..... when you begin to roll it be sure you are holding the tip of the pin with your plier and rolling it like you are screwing in a screw, holding it in the same position with a turn of your wrist. Be sure you have the headpin on the area of the plier to make the loop the size you desire.
Single Strand Bracelet Design
Be sure your crimp tube is close to the beads when finishing and squeeze it very hard to be sure your bracelet isn't going to pull apart!
Enjoy creating your own pieces,

Each episode of this season has been a meta commentary on the show, its story, and its fandoms. This is not fan "servicing." It is a way of problematizing Lost Girl as an artifact of contemporary popular culture. It is truly fascinating. Episode 4, "Turn to Stone" continues in this manner. But there is much more to it as well.
I have to say, I'm generally down with whatever Lost Girl throws at us, but the transition from 403 to 404 baffled me a bit. At the end of the third episode, Bo was acting like the Wolfman's sweet bride. The scene was an all-American picture of the car and the open road, brought together by the culturally intelligible image of a woman's head leaning on a man's shoulder. I want to be very clear and say that there is nothing wrong, per se, with resting one's head on the shoulder of a lover, friend, parent, or sibling. In the context of everything we know and have seen in Lost Girl, though, Bo's head on Dyson's shoulder is far from an innocuous gesture. To me, it reads as a form of "surrender." To drive the point further, we are given a very clear shot of Dyson's left hand gripping the steering wheel and prominently displaying a wedding ring on his finger.
All this to say that Bo is not like "our Bo" at the end of the episode. There are intimations that she may even have forgotten Lauren, the love of her life. This was perhaps due to a spell. I blamed the rings. And they may still be to blame for whatever memory issues continue to go on, as I know that we are far from done with this particular theme. I'll take a chance right now and say that this season will address trauma and its repression.
In the fourth episode, we find Bo in fine succubus form. She is training with Dyson in a boxing ring. She scoffs at the idea that the Una Mens pose any kind of threat to her fine and powerful self. She worries about Lauren's whereabouts and safety – gets choked up actually at the thought of Lauren – and then, just to take the edge off, proceeds to have Dyson then and there. No longer the lil' wife, Bo takes what she wants.
Dark Bo is an interesting, curious, person. What makes her dark? What is the nature of "darkness?" For one thing, "dark Bo" is free of her own inner turmoils, ghosts, and regrets. She lives in the moment and does as she pleases. She is in a sense free of morality. But for Bo, this makes her dark, because it makes her inauthentic. Bo continues to be fiercely loyal to those she considers family and is capable of forgiving their mistakes and transgressions, though she not above making them squirm. But she shows no compassion for those outside her circle, for the villains, especially when they attack her friends. This is a key difference with the Bo of seasons 1 and 2. In season 3 we had begun to see some odd behaviors. At this moment of her development, in season 4, Bo is very much like Dyson: a fae. Dyson, for his part, seems vaguely aware of the change in Bo, but "likes" it. He, himself, seems to have gotten worse – less compassionate, more violent, more selfish – as we saw in episodes 1-3 of this season. Bo is now a "taker." She has become a hard person who shows little concern for other people's feelings, even for Kenzi, when she hurt herself trying to cross the threshold of Lauren's apartment. Dyson plays along with Bo's game, knowing (but in denial of the fact?) that his place in her life can never compare to Lauren's – his supposed rival. But Bo and Dyson have never been equals, and this episode shows it once more. Bo has always had the upper hand. She's always been the one to demand sex, to call the shots. And she never seems to care as much Dyson does. In the fourth episode of season three, when roles were reversed and Dyson convinced Bo to sleep with him so that she could heal, Bo's only concern was for Lauren, for her feelings. Dyson in season 4 is encouraging Bo's darkening by letting himself be used sexually by her, when he knows it hurts him emotionally.
Episode 3 and 4 are thematically linked in particular ways. In episode 3, it was not only that the right lovers were apart, it was also that the wrong lovers were together. Lauren was with Crystal, and Bo was with Dyson. In episode 3, Bo and Dyson were having adventures and getting married, while Lauren and Crystal were having sex. In 4, it is the other way around: Crystal and Lauren encounter hardships and scary foes, while Bo has her way with Dyson in a boxing ring. In episode 3, Dyson and Bo were "married" through a subterfuge, as I've written in the previous post on "Lovers. Apart." They channeled ghosts and another reality. What was real, though, was the emblematic use of rings and a strip of cloth to bind writs. On one level, it was a lovely romantic gesture; on another it signified heterosexual "marriage" as a kind of trap, a figurative loss of agency.
Rings and Necklaces.
The continuous circle of correspondences among characters and plotlines in episodes 3 and 4 gets altered in an important way, however: in "Turn to Stone" Bo finds a little gift box in Lauren's apartment. In episode 4, we see an altogether different act of tying fates together. When Bo reads a note from Lauren that says "for giving me the freedom to love. And I do. Forever…" it is about the yes, the affirmation of love freely given, without any expectation of reciprocity and return. Exchanging rings is a key part of the marriage ceremony in contemporary western culture. Saying "I do" is another. In the first instance, the rings represent a binding, in the second, the "I do" represents freedom to choose and freedom to decide to share one's life. Dyson (a bit like Ryan did in episode 18 of season 2) has used every possible trick to try and "bind" Bo to him, including creating an alternate universe of (almost) perfect domesticity in the Dawning, performing a "marriage" in "Lovers. Apart," and continuously hiding important facts about Lauren's whereabouts from Bo. Lauren, on the other hand thanks Bo for, specifically, giving her the freedom to love.
What was in the gift box? The ambiguous necklace. We are purposely not shown the object that Bo so movingly clutches to her chest. Is it Lauren's "ward of the Ash" necklace? It is most certainly a reference to it, and the role it has played in Bo and Lauren's relationship from the very beginning. This scene – where Bo finds the note and the necklace – works as a counter reference to the "spybang" episode – the idea that Lauren betrayed Bo by sleeping with her at the Ash's behest in season one's "Vexed" episode – and it worked neatly with Crystal's confession to Lauren in their holding cell. Together, these two scenes, bring up the ambiguity of the idea of a "spybang." It was and yet it wasn't that.
Bo and Lauren's relationship began in the moment that the necklace was thrown, first during their love scene, when Bo tells Lauren she's nobody's slave; and then when it was thrown again after the lovemaking, this time in Lauren's face. This is what was being negotiated in that scene of season one's episode 8: agency and freedom, and really, the freedom to love, which can't be taken away forever. The "spybang" episode was actually the foundational moment of Bo's and Lauren's relationship. In season 3, the necklace was again used symbolically to signify freedom. Lauren left it in her desk drawer as she tried to leave the fae and Bo. When Bo found it at the end of the third season, she understood the rupture it was meant to signify. Lauren was taking her freedom to leave Bo and the fae. And when Bo finds a necklace in another one of Lauren's desk drawers, it is a present meant for her from Lauren, the necklace is again the object that speaks to us of freedom, but this time it is a freedom given, and a freedom to give.
As has been made clear many times on Lost Girl, it is Kenzi's friendship and Bo's highly romantic love for Lauren that keep Bo close to her "humanity." From the first moment of their meeting, Lauren, herself a slave or indentured servant to a powerful authority, gave Bo love and compassion. In "Lovers. Apart," the parallels between the 19th century fae/human couple and our own Bo and Lauren make explicit that in both cases the human "knows" who the fae woman is and loves her anyway. But who is the fae? A monster? Someone – a "witch" – who has internalized society's prejudices against her kind? Or someone who hates herself for what's she done? Or is her true nature to be pure of heart and worthy of love? The metaphors dance around us as we begin to understand the depth of Bo and Lauren's bond. For, in the end, Bo and Lauren are not so different after all. Bo and Lauren are both tragic figures who are ever atoning for their pasts, punishing themselves, finding each other, and finally coming to terms with themselves and their lives. In season 4 we see Bo embracing her nature – for better or for worse – while Lauren tries to run, but realizes she can't, and now will stand her ground and face her past.
Dyson can't see much beyond the surface. He is too busy getting what he can from Bo knowing that she doesn't love him the way she loves Lauren. Dyson's attitude is selfish and near-sighted, but Dyson has never been one to defy authority. Not being human – culturally rather than biologically – makes him unable to question and defy authority. This has been fairly evident since episode 1 of season 1. When Lauren and Dyson find out that Bo is to be tested "the old way," Lauren utters her famous "it's madness" without training line, whereas Dyson's answer is that's this is not their call to make. Lauren was a slave, a despised human then, and took every risk to speak her mind in defense of Bo. Beyond a comment on a character's personal bravery, it's a comment on authority, and beyond that on human free will. Dyson is the one who doesn't really have compassion for others – if they are not people he specifically cares about. Yet, even for Dyson, what drew him to Bo in season 1 was her defiance of the stodgy world of fae.
The Grammy Binks Rants.
First off: I ain't talkin' bout my Grandboy.
Second off: I ain't talkin' 'bout my Grandbaby bein' no terrorist. She ain't.
That child is full o' love. That's all she's ever been. We'll be unravelin' this mystery ta'gether, so's don't be askin' me no insensitive questions cos I ain't gonna answer 'em.
My heart is beatin' a pattern o' joyus thunder! I kin see the spark o' life in my Lolo's eyes agin. I couldn't figger what in all o' tarnation had drained her so completely. I mean, I know these Fae critters has got under her skin an' all, but it was somethin' deep keepin' her from fightin'. She just took the Fae's foul treatment like it was her due somehow. Now I understand.
Thank the Good an' Gracious Gods already. An' I don't mean those Fallible Fae Gods, nor the God Almighty, who I'm pretty sure is a woman if she's real at all. I'm talkin' 'bout the Gods that imbue a human soul. That's somethin' perfect an' pure an' somethin' my Grandbaby has in abundance : LOVE.
Nothin' can beat it, nor tear it down; not if it's true an' pure. My Grandbaby's got this. I kin tell she's goin' ta win now. I kin see her spirit risin' from those untoward ashes an' I want ta jump up an' down with joy! Yay! For the love of mint juleps an' pizza toppin's like, "love against all odds…"
Let's git back ta analytikin this eppysode.
1) Poor Bo is really goin' Dark. I mean in her soul, not the Fae Team they say's she's playin' on. Those Teams are as meanin'less as turds an' turnpikes. Dark/Light they all the same parasitic bastards one way o' 'nother. They bicker over the means o' how they be hidin' their killin's an' such odd nonsense. They is all Dark as far as I'm concernin'.
Bo just don't connect no more. She uses Mr. Dyson for sex without a spec o' love or carin' in her eyes; an' he lets her. I kin't believe I'm gonna say this next thing, but I feel sorry fer the Wolf Boy. He's gotta know she don't give a lick about him right now, 'cept fer how she's usin' him.
2) Poor lil' Kenz is just as low as my Lolo. Lower I'd be guessin' cos at least we seen my Grandbaby standin' up fer herself. Now she's gonna move on forward cos she finally looked at what was chasin' her.
But, lil' Kenz is still dependin' on Bo an' the Wolf Boy ta pull her outta the fire. She needs ta git her mojo back, an' I don't mean by becomin' one o' those Fae parasites.
3) These Unamens folks got their oar in every little pool I'm guessing,' an' I like it. They is gonna be what makes all the sides unite, or some such, an' have a common enemy. I fear my Lolo is in for a rocky ride still. Bo is so unbalanced things is gonna git worst b'for they git better.
4) The Valkyree is friendlier ta my palate as an innocent.
5) That silly Wolf Boy is still evadin' Bo 'bout my Lolo: "I Lost Lauren" he says ta lil' Kenz (the two o' them is still keepin' secrets 'stead o' tellin' Bo).
This mystical world my Grandbaby got herself 'mbroiled in is 'bout ta explode. I wish I had me one 'o those Wanderin' cards so's I could get me a pass ta that inter dimensional place they's all existin' in.
I just gotta say the CHERRY o' this eppysode was in my Lolo's desk.
"For giving me the freedom to Love…and I do. "
Just a few simple words on a tiny scrap o' paper pierced the stone heart that Bo is walkin' 'round with now.
My Grandbaby Lauren is the key.
This here is Grammy Binks signin' off.
This episode BLEW MY MIND. I watched the entire thing in a state of constant amazement, delight, and had several strong emotional reactions. Dangling plot threads from the previous season were addressed, questions were answered, and new questions were raised. I was PSYCHED.
Here's why I was most psyched – I've been constantly optimistic for several months that Bo and Lauren are being set up as starcrossed lovers with an epic love story. Some people might even describe me as having been relentlessly optimistic. Sometimes, on a dark night of the soul, I might have wondered if the lady doth optimistic too much.
Well, wonder no more. In addition to the allegory from 4.03 about lovers who are forbidden from being together because of their differences, but try to be together anyway, a la Romeo and Juliet (or if you will, Juliette and Juliet), there was a lot in "Turn to Stone" that supports this interpretation.
None of these signs is particularly subtle, although it helps to know that Bo is markedly changed in this episode. The examples are scattered throughout from beginning to end – starting with Dyson's observation in the boxing ring "You're different" and ending with The Keeper (Grand Inquisitor of the Una Mens) announcing to Bo "Your blood has spoken. You are Dark." In between, we see Bo acting in uncharacteristic ways – notably inciting a near-orgy in the Dal with her succu-touch, being impatient with how long Kenzi was hugging her, being unable to cross a line intended to keep out "malicious Fae," dumping a bucket of water on Kenzi's head out of impatience, and smirking when Massimo jumps into the fiery portal after Tamsin's hair (similar to her pre-Dawning smirk), just to name a few.
But when she finds the necklace and note that Lauren left for her, she is visibly moved. In fact, Bo during this moment is the closest to what I believe is her true self. "For giving me the freedom to love. And I do. Forever [yours?]" And when Bo clutches the pendant to her chest, it seems like she might just break down. Of course, the gargoyle had to come along and ruin the moment, but hey, this is TV.
We also have to talk about Lauren in this episode. Her admission about her past, how she made pipe bombs that resulted in the death of 11 people, well, it explained a lot about her demeanor. And when she finally decided that she'd had enough of the "Light Fae bullshit" and removed her handcuffs and chains, that was a really empowering moment. She was literally as well as figuratively casting off her shackles. I wanted to cheer. It certainly bodes well for her being able to eventually find her way back to Bo with more self-esteem and enter the next phase of their relationship on more equal footing.
Doccubus aside (what? never!), a large part of what thrilled me about this episode is how a major plot thread from Season 3 was addressed. The rune glass worked! And it wasn't supposed to disable Bo, it was supposed to mark her so she could enter the different plane of existence. With how anticlimactic the rune glass scene was in 3.13, it was awesome to find out that it wasn't just a dud.
Predictions: I'm taking bets that Massimo is Evony's son. Remember how she said in the previous episode "One day you wake up, and you're a mother." With Evony's disdain for humans, I'm seriously wondering how she would have managed to get close enough to one to have a child with him, but hey – maybe the forbidden love theme will extend throughout the show.
Also, I think it was totally Trick who kidnapped Lauren – it sounded like his voice over the monitor. He may have been in cahoots with Evony, though, since it was she who found the Karen Beattie file in Lauren's apartment.
Postscript: For most of these episode review/analysis posts, I try to stick to reviewing the story and plot only, and not to go off on tangents about the actors or the production of the show. But I have to say this because it's all I could think about during the opening scene with Bo and Dyson boxing that turns into vigorous boxing-ring-sex.
Knowing that Anna Silk had just given birth about 6 weeks before that scene was filmed:
- She looks amazing.
- After I gave birth (in 2010, to twins), I didn't want anyone touching me for any reason for about three months afterward, since I had two infants who constantly needed my body for food and comfort. I certainly didn't want to film an intensely physical sex scene for the world to see (not that anyone was asking). So hats off to Anna Silk for her commitment to the craft, and to Kris Holden-Ried and the crew to make sure she felt comfortable and supported on set.
- Did I mention that she looks amazing?
So, the Druid Rune potion thingy worked. It was meant to mark Bo and allow her to transcend planes so the Wanderer could collect her. The potion didn't just mark Bo; it broke the bonds she had with the people used to make it. Kenzi is still betraying her by not responding to Bo's rant about Lauren finding a new happier life away from Bo. She knows Dyson had an idea of Lauren's whereabouts because when Dyson tells Kenzi he's lost, Lauren Kenzi isn't surprised, which implies that they have spoken about Lauren before. Lauren believes Bo doesn't love her, and Dyson and trust, well…the list is too long. I wonder if it's going to take all season to break the spell? Now that we're 4 episodes in the characters have settled a little and aren't as OOC as previously seen. It may become more difficult to decipher what's real and what's being influenced by the spell.
Bad Ass Bo is back and her powers seem to have intensified while she's been hanging out on the Wanderer's (daddy's?) train. At the Dal she only touches 3 people, yet everyone gets up to dance, and when she hugs Tamsin the red shadow, mist cloud (whatever you call it) isn't just limited to the face or hands like in previous moments; it now seems to cover the whole upper body. In the previous episode Bo seemed a little childlike, but now she appears to embrace her desires and urges without having much of a conscience. I wonder if she's aware of what's happening to her? I had to snicker at her unapologetically leaving Dyson to babysit Tamsin at the station. Even in her conversations with Kenzi she goes from heartfelt to dismissive practically in the same breath. The only time she seemed like her old self was when she opened the gift for Lauren.
Kenzi seems to have matured during Bo's absence. She's not as bubbly and the weight of the situation she has been in has taken its toll. I find the parallel between Massimo and Kenzi to be striking. He was human and became a Druid because he wanted to belong and be respected by the Fae. He felt like an outsider. Sound familiar? After seeing Kenzi de-rig the door at Lauren's and her pride in figuring it out, something tells me Kenzi may become the new Druid on LG.
Can we talk about Lauren for a minute? Finally a back story that explains why she's served the Light Fae for so long without complaint. My stomach turned when she confessed to inadvertently killing 11 people and losing contact with her brother. I don't know what's worse, carrying that burden, indentured servitude for 5 years or having your girlfriend cursed because the Fae wanted to insure you'd work for them indefinitely. The Mad Fae diagnosis gave me an idea. What if the reason Lauren is so valuable to the Fae isn't that she's so brilliant (not saying she's not) but the fact that they don't evolve as a society? They are rule followers. By clinging to traditions and rituals, they stifle individuality and discourage free thinking. Lauren specifically says "childs play" twice, once regarding to how simple it was for her to figure out the disease and then when she refers to the antiquated handcuffs, as if insulting their lack of intelligence. Lauren specifically says, "You didn't have to kidnap me to figure this out, you just had to use your brain." Is it possible that Bo is such a threat to the Fae way of life not because she defends humans, but because she thinks like them? For example, I've been waiting for Bo to suffer a consequence for leaving the Temple in the Dawning with two people. But what if there is no consequence? The caretaker said the rules specifically state that only one person may leave. What if he was stuck there because he never thought to challenge what he'd been told? That would also explain the seemingly ridiculous claims by Tamsin and Dyson about learning so much from Bo in such a short time period. Think about it and get back to me.
I'm really trying hard not to criticize Dyson but ugh, he's so unlikeable at the moment. He was so condescending to Tamsin at the police station then he's tucking her in and telling her a bedtime story. He's lost Lauren??? That means he's known where she's been since the first episode (and apparently so has Kenzi). What the hell was the exchange between him and Kenzi about she doesn't have to be Fae to have a place among them? There is a way you can be more. I can teach you when the time is right. What the Fae?!?!?
I don't know dude, I think the right time would be now!
She's hiding out because the Una Mens want her for defiling the Blood Laws. A human who attacked a place of sanctuary. Hello, remember that?
My big complaint is this whole Una Mens business is getting boring. Come on now. They've blown into town to restore order. They're supposed to kick ass and take names. They tortured the crap out of Vex! Bo just waltzes in and gives them the whole I will never play by your rules speech. Which I thought was very hawt by the way. Even if she's not unaligned anymore, aren't they going to punish her for her previous transgressions? Aren't Lauren and Kenzi considered terrorists? If they can send a gargoyle to attack Bo, can't they collect Lauren and Kenzi?
Boohohaha. Yeah. Whatever.

March 25, Good Friday
Isaiah 52:13-53:12; Psalm 22; Hebrews 4:14-16; 5:7-9; John 18:1-10:42
Deacon Sue Nebel
Good Friday. The second day of the Triduum, the three sacred days leading up to Easter. This day, right in the middle, is the darkest, the most solemn of the three. We began the Triduum last night in a somewhat festive mood, gathering for an agape meal. Then we shifted our focus and the mood darkened. We remembered in words and actions the events of the night before Jesus' death. The last meal with his disciples. The footwashing. His final commandment: to love one another.
Maundy Thursday, the first day of the Triduum, ends in darkness and quiet. Tomorrow, Holy Saturday, is a day of anticipation and preparation for the evening ahead. The Easter Vigil when the light of Christ dispels the darkness. New life. Hope. Celebration. But not today, not on Good Friday. Today we gather in sadness, emptiness. The church has been stripped bare. Today we hear the story of Jesus' arrest and trial. His death on a cross. His body placed in a tomb.
Three days. Three sets of events. Three symbols. Maundy Thursday: the basin and towel of footwashing. Good Friday: the cross. Holy Saturday: the empty tomb. Important, all three of them, but it is the cross that Christian tradition has made central. Walk into a Christian church and you will find a cross, front and center, just as it is here. We encounter crosses in many forms in our church life. We carry crosses in procession. We see them in decorations, vestments, service leaflets, and prayer books. Church logos and flags. Many people wear crosses as jewelry. Some simple, some elaborate.
Today, on Good Friday, we focus on one cross. The instrument of punishment and death for criminals in the Roman Empire. Jesus sentenced to die because of his teachings and actions. Words and actions that were judged to be a threat to those in power. So, they decided to get rid of him. In the cruelest, most humiliating kind of death. The cross of Good Friday is not an ornate decorated object. The cross of Good Friday is plain, heavy wood. Rough, stark. In a few minutes, (or Kristin) will bring that kind of cross forward and we will honor it. Silently affirming its central place in our hearts and in our lives as Christians.
Good Friday is a day of commemoration, of remembering. Good Friday invites us into the story of the events surrounding Jesus' death. The betrayal by Judas. The scattering of the other disciples. Jesus questioned by Pilate. Mocked and scorned by the crowd around him. The grim details of Jesus' death. His body, taken down, wrapped in spices and cloth, and placed in a tomb.
Good Friday into something else as well. Good Friday invites us to reflect on what the Cross means to us. What image of the Cross is most important to us? Which Cross have we taken into ourselves? To shape who we are and what we do.
· Is it the Cross of Good Friday? Jesus' suffering and death—and the meaning that we give to it. Jesus as sacrifice. Jesus dying for us.
· Is it the Cross of Jesus' teaching in Scripture? Jesus told those who wanted to join him, "If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me." A cross that we choose. The Cross of Discipleship.
· Our most important cross may be one that we experience in the liturgies of the church. The Cross of Blessing. The gestures of the hands of a bishop or priest. Blessing the bread and wine of the Eucharistic meal. Blessing the people at the end of a service, reminding them that they are children of God, loved by God.
· Or perhaps, it is the Cross of Baptism that is most important to us. The declaration of faith and commitment to Christ. The final action of the baptismal rite: the anointing with oil and sign of the cross on the forehead. With the words, "You are sealed by the Holy Spirit in Baptism and marked as Christ's own forever." A Cross of Identity
Today, as you go out from this liturgy of Good Friday. I invite you to take one of these images of the cross with you. Your favorite. Or perhaps, you might want to take another one. To see how it fits. Whatever you choose, take it with you. Carry it with you, as you move through the rest of the day. Reflect on it. Find a place for it deep within yourself. Let it work on you. et it shape you. Today, tomorrow, and beyond.

Sarah Kowalski and Tigh Rickman are respectively a graduate of, and a candidate at Stonecoast MFA. Both longtime fans of reality televison, they are both relative newcomers to ABC's The Bachelor. However, much like crack cocaine, it only took a small hit to hook them both, and now both watch religiously with their fiction writers' eyes.
The Bachelorette: "Let the Journey Begin" by Tigh Rickman & Sarah Kowalski
So here we are, at the beginning of a fantastic journey that promises exotic lands, meaningful conversations and, of course, romance. It is the beginning of Ali's journey as The Bachelorette, and in a matter of months one of the 25 strangers who stepped out of the limo before her tonight will walk away from this experience as her husband-to-be. But before the proposal, before the dream dates in exotic lands, before the hometown visits is tonight. And tonight she will awkwardly meet and mingle with these men and send home 10 of them—in effect ending their time on this journey before it even began.
On Ali as 'The Bachelorette"
Sarah: So, to recap, our fair heroine Ali, following in the footsteps of Jake and Jillian before her, goes from jilted participant in the previous Bachelor season to star of her own.
Tigh: Yes! And I'm really excited to see her in action. On The Bachelor she seemed like the most normal one—girly, but normal. But now we're going to get to see her in another light. Remember, when Jake was on The Bachelorette, he seemed normal too. It wasn't until he became the star that we saw the depths of his true pathos.
Sarah: Well… he seemed… kinda normal. He did almost start crying and practically propose during his first date with Jill, if I'm recalling correctly. But the fact that Ali fell for Jake makes me question her taste in men. Especially since she purportedly wants someone who's smart and funny above all else. Would anyone really consider Jake smart *or* funny?
Tigh: No. At least not intentionally. By the way, did you see him cry on Dancing with the Stars?
Sarah: Oh, man I missed it!
Tigh: Holy Jeez. But I digress… Well, we both saw this coming at the end of the last season of The Bachelor. Nobody was better suited to take up the mantle of 'The Bachelorette' than Ali. She's an all-American girl who's been wronged romantically and is trying to find love. (more…)

If you are one of the many who've seen folks holding "free hugs" signs, there's a pretty good chance you walked by them without giving them any real consideration. Perhaps you thought "Hey, It's a busy world and a busy life, and I can't stop for every friendly looking sign toter." Or maybe, like me, you thought "that's just straight up creepy." But one thing is sure; the power of positive human-to-human contact has far reaching implications, especially between strangers. Many of us tend to walk around in a state of contraction and mistrust, even if we are open and loving with our friends and families. In urban centers across the globe, it has become so easy to go throughout our days amongst thousands of people, without ever connecting to a single one. And in this age of social media and technological convenience, human touch is becoming more seldom and much more necessary. Now, watch how just one hug from a stranger can brighten someone's day:
Personally, I'm so inspired by this video that I want to give a big hug to everyone! The Free Hugs Campaign is a great way to connect people to a fundamental sense of love, with the reminder that you don't have to know someone to have a meaningful connection with them.

I have nothing to add - just posting the article by the National Post:
"Just before sunrise on Monday, Kendra Reid awoke suddenly, tip-toed past her sleeping fiancé and headed to the bathroom with a sudden case of abdominal cramps.
In hindsight, the cramps were just like labour pains, but the 23-year-old Ottawa woman had absolutely no reason to believe she was pregnant.
The past nine months had yielded none of the usual symptoms of pregnancy — no spontaneous vomiting, no cravings and no uterine rumblings. And although she'd gained a few extra pounds, it was not anything pants-splitting.

Body of father missing after boating accident found in Jourdan River (Updated 7;45 p.m.)
The county's search and rescue team found the body of Ernest Johnson, 53, around 6 p.m. in the Jourdan River.
Thunder and lightning in the area near the Mississippi 603 bridge hampered the search at times, according to Hancock County Sheriff Ricky Adam. But when the weather was stable, the team used divers and sonar in the effort to locate Johnson.
Johnson was boating with his 13-year-old daughter near the bridge when they both were thrown from the boat and into the river, Adam said.
Adam said the incident happened around 9 a.m. Emergency crews worked out of the parking lot at the Jourdan River Steamer restaurant to coordinate the effort.
The restaurant's security camera caught some of what happened, said owner Hank Plauche. He said the tape wasn't clear but it looked as if Johnson was trying to start his boat motor after it had stopped.
Plauche said it appeared the motor was in gear "and sort of took off when it started," throwing him and his daughter into the water.
The girl was rescued. Plauche said she told her family that her father threw her a life jacket. Family and friends gathered at the restaurant during the search. Plauche said 35 emergency vehicles are in his parking lot at one point during the search effort.

It's interesting when the weather gets cold like this, because I always expect it to start snowing pretty heavily. Some places got a sprinkling here and there over the past few weeks, but nothing really that major. Well, unless you're responsible for cancellations at major rail companies.
I hate the damn stuff, so I'm pretty happy it's been notoriously absent. Not that I need a reason to stay indoors at this time of year. I have work to do, and that work involves pulling together this latest list of apps for you.
If you're into making things with Raspberry Pi and Arduino, controlling the gadgets from your phone tends to require some programming knowledge. Blynk makes the process a lot easier, using drag and drop widgets to help you control the different individual components you've out together. It's free, but if you'll have to cough up some cash if you plan on making your in-app creations public or compatible with multiple devices.
Don't Leave it!
Free: iOS
If you're always forgetting things before you leave the house, this app is definitely the one for you. Once you've set up a list of everything you need when you leave a particular location (home, work, SO's house, etc), it uses a geofence to lock in the location. Should you cross that fence, it'll remind you of the things you need after a few feet so that you don't end up leaving without all your important gear.
Hand Off
£1.09: Windows
This is quite a clever little app, since it lets you 'hand off' your work to another Windows 10 device, letting you complete it there. So whether it's a phone, a tablet, a PC, or even an Xbox One, you can shift your work around with minimal time, effort, and fuss. So if you need to leave your desk, you can just throw your work over to your phone and be done with it. Provided you're one of the five people who actually has a Windows 10 phone that is.
JustOpen & Type
Free: iOS
Down below is Zoho Notebook, a note-taking app with all sorts of bells and whistles to satiate your needs. If that's not for you, and you crave simplicity, give JustOpen & Type. As the name suggests, you literally just open up the app and start typing. Typing whatever you need to type, be it a shopping list, random thoughts coming through your head, and so on. Every time you open the app you're met with a blank screen and keyboard, though naturally all your old notes are easily accessible.
Free: Windows
This one barely qualifies as an app, because it's not available through a dedicated 'app store' (not that app actually means anything special anyway). But it's important. Ransomware is getting to be a much bigger problem than it used to be, and this is designed to stop you getting affected. Rather than looking for specific identifying marks of known ransomware, it keeps track of the behaviour of your computer's processes and lets you know when something's up. That way it's not a constant battle to find ways to decrypt the ransomware after it's struck, and should have a level of security against future and niche strains.
Vine Camera
Vine might be dead, but Twitter isn't letting the whole system go to waste. While the main site has become an archive, the new camera app continues to let you create your own looping six-second videos and share them on Twitter. It also comes with the standard Vine creation and editing tools. So Vine isn't really gone, it's just had a bit of a lifestyle change.
Waze (Update)
Waze is that app that collects data from other drivers to work out where there's congestion, so your route can be altered in real time to compensate. The latest update on Android comes with a search by category function, for when you're looking for a particular service or locale, along with an auto complete distance and updates to voice search. Voice search is now improved when you're driving abroad, letting you say street names in a foreign language - even if Waze is still in English mode. iOS has most of the same, but without the updated voice search.
Zoho Notebook
Evernote has taken a huge dive recently where privacy is concerned, so if you're looking for a notes app you'll probably want to avoid it. Zoho takes a similar approach to your notes as the big-wigs like Evernote and OneNote, but with a slightly different design. It's filled with different notebooks that you can then fill up with cards. Those cards can be full of whatever types of notes that you like, be they voice, text, images, drawings, and so on, with grouping options that let you keep on top of the organisation side of things.

In a conference call this week to promote the thriller "Bangkok Dangerous", actor Nicolas Cage revealed that he and Marvel Studios have already been talking about a potential sequel to the critically maligned yet internationally profitable "Ghost Rider" movie.
Cage tells Dark Horizons that he had a meeting with the studio about the project three months ago and they talked about a whole different setting for the character. The general idea was to take the character to Europe where he will work with the Catholic Church, deal with supernatural stuff on the continent and figureout a "connection working with different religious figures". The film's main antagonist has yet to be decided.
Cage is also involved in the adaptation of the graphic novel "Kick-Ass" which he's just about to begin filming. Of his character he says "I play a guy named Damon and I'm the father of Mindy, who is Hit Girl and I'm Big Daddy and I'm training my daughter to become a superhero."
Cage has just wrapped up work in on Werner Herzog's remake of "Bad Lieutenant", confirms that he plays the voice of Astro Boy's creator in the upcoming CG-animated film based on the property, and really hopes that of all the Marvel characters that a "Submariner" film will one day be made.

Top 10 Ways to Get More Social Media Followers for Your Business Without Creating New Content
Hi again, Eddie Woods here! One of the questions that I get asked the most from business owners is "How do I get more social media followers for my business?"
The short answer is to create more relevant content that your followers would love. But I consistently get push back from this answer. And I'm quite sure the reason I get push back is because most business owners are very busy and they don't have time to create content themselves and they are reluctant to hire someone to do it for them.
I often tell business owners that they probably should not create the content themselves because it is quite time consuming, and I recommend that they hire an individual or a company to be in charge of creating fresh social media content to post. I stress to them the importance of hiring to fill this position on their team, but most of the time my overtures are not headed.
So since I'm tired of saying the same thing, and most of the time getting push-back, I decided to focus this post on an awesome article that a friend of mine named Rachel Rofe recently created. It's about how to get more social media followers without creating having to create new content. Check out the article below.
"Social media is powerful. There's no doubt about that. But social media marketing falls flat if you don't have an audience built up, which can be challenging.
One of the best ways of getting more followers is to continuously post new, engaging content. Most of us, however, simply don't have the time or the energy for that.
So what then? Is all hope lost?
Not so much. If you want to increase your follower counts on social media without having to create new content, don't worry. There are tactics you can employ to give your friends and follower counts a boost without spending tons of extra effort.
Let's take a look at 10 easy strategies below…
1) Add geotags to your photos
You can use geotags on Instagram to attract local followers. A geotag, essentially, is the current location (the longitude and latitude) of your Instagram account. The GPS device in your smartphone or tablet collects this information and makes it available on Instagram if you give it permission.
And when you add geotags to your posts, other Instagram users who've added geotags with the same location will be more likely to see your content and follow you as a result.
Geotags also make it so that your content shows up whenever someone searches for your location.
Basically, geotags help you increase your exposure, which, in turn, increase your odds of having more people follow you.
2) Follow other relevant brands, users, and influencers
This may seem counter-intuitive to boosting your follower count. But when you follow relevant brands, users, and influencers, often times, they follow you back. Plus, the whole point of gaining more followers is to engage real and relevant people with your business.
When looking for people to follow, conduct your search based on the following three categories………………."

How to Use Instagram's New IGTV for Your Business
Eddie Woods here! By now you might have heard about Instagram's new addition called IGTV. Social media apps are constantly being updated to try to keep pace with the ever changing landscape, and to try to provide a better overall experience for the user.
The new IGTV app is focused on long-form, vertical videos, designed for mobile devices, and makes it easier for it's users to become video content creators without the hassles of editing videos for mobile devices.
IGTV has some interesting features that I think most business owners will find valuable. The following article goes over everything you need to know, and shows you how to get the most out of IGTV, check it out here…
What is IGTV?
"IGTV is Instagram's own video content hub, focused on longer-form video content, with videos of up to a maximum of 60 minutes.
This is a potential game-changer for content creators who specialize in longer form videos. IGTV gives everyone the ability to leverage videos in a totally different way than before – and all in vertical format. We'll talk a little about why this is so important later on in this post.
IGTV: Everything You Need To Know in a Nutshell (So Far)
As you may have noticed (if you've updated to the latest version of the app), there's now a small TV icon next to your share airplane at the top right of your Instagram feed home screen. This is where IGTV channels live, and where you'll be able to watch content from people you follow, discover new videos, see your channel and upload you own IGTV videos.
There's also a new, standalone IGTV app, and web uploads as well. Here are some details on the functionality of IGTV……."

ARCH1429 is for candidates enrolled in a PhD or Masters by research at RMIT University where it is being conducted through creative practice research (CPR).
The course operates through a combination of on-line and face-to-face engagement. Most candidates do this course spread out over a semester, meeting at specific times adjacent to working through the online components. Some, who are not located in Melbourne, do the on-line components before meeting for an 'intensive' over a few days. Doing the course via intensive mode is dependent on whether your School is offering this in any given semester.
It is important that all enrolled follow the instructions in the link immediately below, in order to register correctly on this website.
Register for this on-line Course MaterialFor instructions on registering for this on-line course Material click here.
Register for this on-line Course MaterialFor instructions on registering for this on-line course Material click here.
This course is set up to collectively explore ways of engaging in creative practice research (CPR). There is no one correct 'model' or template through which to proceed as every creative practice research project presents different challenges and opportunities for the development of knowledge. Unlike the conventions of scientific research, which measured variables against constants and verifies through reproducibility, creative practice research is grounded in difference, specificity and situated action. As such, case studies are seen as crucial for attaining a breadth of knowledge about this area of research. This web site accumulates videos and artefacts that offer you access to a wide range of examples, or case studies, of creative practice researchers, and their projects.
A Masters or a PhD is considered 'research training', and by enrolling you can expect to learn from those who have a lot of experience with CPR. However, it is also accurate to say that we are all always 'in training', whereby supervisors and examiners are always learning from those they supervise and examine. Together, we are all working out how to navigate the complexities, idiosyncrasies and evolution of researching through creative means, and how to navigate (differently each time) the particularities of every research candidature and/or project.
A key aspect this course is the opportunity to develop peer networks. A key proposition underlying the course is that research is always a collective enterprise (see Collective Ground). As such, the course tries to emphasise the sharing of experiences about researching, offering peer-to-peer feedback, and developing community. The material and resources made available are premised on the idea that the actuality of CPR research is non-linear, iterative and emergent. One aim is to acknowledge and thereby lessen potential anxiety that can arise as part of the often messy, uncertain, emergent and sometimes risky nature of researching.
You (and/or your supervisor) may disagree with some of the approaches, attitudes or characterisations of creative practice research explored here. Differences are welcome: the course enables you the chance to express alternatives; to differ. No candidature is the same, and there are no viable templates to follow. The guides, resources and navigational tools offered here will vary in their relevance for each research candidate.
Many issues raised during the semester may not make as much sense early on as they do at a later stage when they become more immediately pertinent. For this reason we invite you to return and access the resources when they are most relevant for you.
As you move through your candidature, you may feel inclined to share useful information with others on the wiki (see below).

Cut The Zombies
Cut The Zombies Info
Cut The Zombies is a satisfying and fun arcade game.
In Cut The Zombies, your objective is to shoot lazer beams at zombies at various different angles to throw them (or their dismembered body parts) around the map to hit and collect stars.
Each level, there will be three zombies and three stars to collect that are placed in different locations, so some strategic thinking will be needed, especially at higher levels.
The level and art design is top notch, and some levels have certain objects that need to be used in order to access stars, like levers and buttons.
Control: Left mouse click to play.Adrian Tan updated this game on 27 Nov , 2016.

I want to thank you and commend you for the section you have added a while back to the Compass called "District Days." My family is from the Brac, consisting of Lazzaris and Fosters as well as many other families going back generations. Even though my father moved us to Florida when I was a young child, I grew up hearing all about the Brac, family, land, etc. We spent many Sunday afternoons after church visiting other Cayman families who lived in the St. Petersburg–Tampa Bay area. As an adult, I have been there numerous times with my husband, daughter, and even grandchildren. I consider the Brac my second home.
My favorite part of District Days is the reprinting of articles from 50 years ago. Turns out Lilian Ritch was my aunt's stepmother-in-law. My aunt married a Ritch and Lilian was the third wife of my uncle's father, Capt. Theophilus Ritch. Needless to say, my aunt who is now in her 90s thoroughly enjoys reading those articles, since she knew almost everyone mentioned. I print the articles for her. She remembers so clearly her stepmother-in-law being the island reporter.
I know things were very hard on the Brac back then in many ways, especially medical care, but in other ways they were so much better with people helping each other, feeling safe, actually talking to one another instead of glued to a TV, computer, or smartphone, more reverence of God, etc. Life changes, however, and we must find a way to stay grounded in our faith and values. The District Days helps people of the Caymans whether they live on island or far away remember their roots.
Thank you again for this wonderful section of Cayman Compass. Please keep it up.

When you live in Phoenix you hardly think about commercial heater maintenance.
Most of the time you're focused on keeping customers and employees cool in the summer.
When temperatures dip below 70 degrees, you feel the chill and want to flip your heater on.
Don't get left in the cold when you have the Forrest Anderson Heating Maintenance Agreement.
We get your heater ready for the winter making sure the most common reasons for commercial heater repairs are addressed.
- Fan motors have lots of moving parts that need to be checked for wear and tear on a regular basis. Ignoring a faulty fan motor can result in the system overheating and shutting off to prevent other parts from getting too hot.
- Blower blades require regular cleaning to prevent reduced airflow and keep the system working efficiently. A dirty blower works harder resulting in higher utility bills and wear and tear on the heat exchanger.
- Heat exchanger runs hotter when the blower is in need of repair or maintenance causing a higher rate of expansion and contraction of the metal. When the metal becomes fatigued, it cracks and releases poisonous carbon monoxide into the business. This is most common in older heaters that have not been repaired on a regular basis.
For the safety and health of your employees and customers, we recommend commercial heater maintenance on a regular basis.
A maintenance plan will help our team of certified technicians address repairs before they become major expenses. It will also help you plan ahead for major repairs and replacement of your commercial unit
If you don't have the residential maintenance agreement, don't worry.
Your Forrest Anderson Commercial Services team is available 24/7 for emergency service.
They arrive at your business and perform a four-point service inspection that is designed to give you a high quality customer experience.
They talk to you about any issues with the commercial heater, discuss repairs they identify, provide an estimate (we never want you to be surprised), and work with you to get the work completed.
The Commercial Services team at Forrest Anderson wants to be sure your business is running smoothly throughout the year and in any kind of weather.

Check DNS Setting before Lion Server Open Directory Deployment
If, during your initial Lion Server setup, you configured Server Assistant so that it created an Open Directory master for you, it should have also set up DNS. If you didn't do this configuration during initial setup or have a DNS server running on another server, you'll need to ensure that DNS is configured to support Open Directory.
Properly configured DNS is critical to the configuration and normal operation of an Open Directory domain. All Open Directory servers need static IP addresses, a zone with the host domain name, and two types of records: a fully qualified DNS address (A) and pointer (PTR) records. Verify the server's DNS records prior to promoting a Mac OS X Server to either master or replica status.
In an A record, also called a machine record, the system's hostname is resolved to an IP address. That is, when another computer requests the IP address for a given domain name, the machine record supplies it. A pointer (PTR) record, also known as a reverse lookup, resolves a domain name for any given IP address. Reverse resolution inquires about an IP address and returns the hostname.
By default, the domain's LDAP search policy and Kerberos realm are the same as the fully qualified hostname of the Open Directory master and are generated when a server's role is changed to master. Without correct DNS records, promotion to an Open Directory master or replica will likely fail or create only a partially functional domain.
If you don't mind typing a one-line command in the Terminal utility, you can easily verify that DNS forward and reverse lookup are configured correctly. Type this, exactly:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
If forward and reverse DNS are working correctly, you see this, but with your server information:
Primary address = 192.168.1.69 Current HostName = ourserver.macwindowsco.com DNS HostName = ourserver.macwindowsco.com The names match. There is nothing to change. dirserv:success = "success"

Q: Where are you from and how is the natural scene there?
A: I am from Maryland and the natural scene here is booming. Everywhere I look I see the two extremes, natural hair or weaved/extensions.The whole Maryland area has always been known for great hairstyles and more recently I am definitely noticing an increase in natural styles on both men and woman, which also includes locs.
Q: Did you transition to natural hair? If so, what were your experiences?
A: I have worn my hair natural since the beginning of last year. When I look back I wouldn't say that I did a big chop, because I had been gradually cutting my hair for sometime. When I took the micro braids out, I had the last 1/2 inch of relaxed hair off at the salon. After that I was left with about 3 inches of healthy natural hair.
Q. Did you have any support?
A: My family was very supportive, but my friends kept giving me the "so what are you gonna do with it look?" Until my friends began to understand my natural hair styles, the ease of maintaining my hair and low expense, they finally begun to "get it."
Q: In your opinion, what has been some of the best things about having natural hair?
A: The versatility and the ability to do my own hair has been the positives and I am thankful for the experience.
It has also made me more aware of my diet and overall health and well-being.
Q: What is your weekly hair routine?
A: I usually co-wash my hair daily if going with any loose natural curl/coily style. Other than that I use a Chagrin Shampoo bar about once a month and deep condition at least twice a month. I don't utilize a lot of spritz except when styling without a fresh wash. My hair stays pretty moisturized when I am wearing my wigs and sealing the ends of my hair with my oil.
Q: What advice would you give someone who was thinking of going natural?
A: I would suggest to that person to give it a try especially since we try different styles all the time with relaxed hair. Why not accept and give the hair texture God gave you a try.
Q: Do you have any final thoughts?
A: Why on earth is it considered normal to go through all of the trouble of chemically and permanently straightening our hair? On the otherhand in some circles it is considered revolutionary to just leave it the heck alone.
