They shall be mine, says YHWH of hosts, in that day when I make up my special treasure, and I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him. Then you shall again discern between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves Elohim and one who does not serve him"
While this page is interesting and useful to anyone, I found that this page was also needed due to the false teachings and mindsets being spread around causing the world to have no fear of YHWH our Creator.
Factoring in the facts that people do not read the Bible, and also the false trinity teachings that are taught by denominations around the world, there really is very little fear of YHWH today since a large portion of modern people have even forgotten YHWH and do not know him much if at all.
The scriptures teach us, and enlighten us, to greatly fear YHWH.
Modern Christians are known to proclaim "fear nothing!", without telling the whole story with context, so they're setting up a faulty ways of thinking in the people.
The Messiah himself even fears YHWH!
Isaiah 11:1 "There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit, And the Spirit of YHWH shall rest upon him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge, and the fear of YHWH, And his delight shall be in the fear of YHWH"
There are multiple other ways modern "teachers" are making people lack fear and realization.
For example another way is by always focusing on only the positive words of the scriptures and refusing to tell the whole story, closing their eyes to things they would call negative such as do not sin or you will die and be forsaken, though that is crucial information and leaving it out will cause a terrible crippling fear to catch up to you after it's too late, after you've already walked in a way you shouldn't have and can not take back and it is written as your history and story.
When YHWH was promising destruction on the wicked children of Yisrael who had turned away from his commandments, there were false speakers among them just like today who were teaching others to not fear, and telling them instead that they were going to have peace..
But when the time came the words of those wicked proved to be false vanity, the nation of Yisrael was terribly conquered by Babylon.
YHWH raised up Babylon against them, and those who survived were taken into captivity and all they had was taken by Babylon.
For those who have made the time to read the scriptures and know the Word of YHWH, and know the past, they are able to see the same sort of situations have repeated through history, and now today we're in the same situation in different ways.
You can see it everywhere as men are telling you to listen to and trust them, and to forget and not honor YHWH the creator.
The doctrines and mindsets of not fearing anything, and not fearing YHWH, is one of the things helping others to willingly be led to their destruction, it is leading people away to their death.
When a person lacks fear, they tend to deceive themself into thinking that they can get away with doing whatever they want and it will be fine.
People naturally fear, but these teachings, ideas, and attitudes are being programmed into them from their youth now, but this is unnatural and there is a blindness being forced onto us where we are blind to life and lose awareness.
We must try to become aware again, like a robot who suddenly becomes aware and conscious, and realizes it's a robot, and realizes it was going through programmed motions.
Some teach that fear is bad, but the fact is there is no way around it, it's reality, how the world and existence is, if you do not fear then you likely are yet to become aware, and are yet to realize how awesome YHWH is.
YHWH brought forth existence from nothing, he created all things and us, we only exist in this existence, with our consciousness and feelings, and people we love, because of YHWH bringing forth existence and creating us.
One needs to meditate on this for awhile to understand better existence, and how great YHWH is. Everything is in his hands.
Men are not worshiping him and praising him accordingly for how great and awesome he is, and for what he has done for them.
Could you bring forth existence from nothing? No, and you only owe your existence to him who did this. YHWH saved you from non-existence.
Non-existence, or the void, is one of the most disturbing thoughts for a human once it realizes such a thing. How do you comprehend non-existence? You can't, you may picture blackness, but in non-existence nothing exists, black does not exist.
Everything in our reality is a miracle, and it's designed by YHWH.
Do not take your life for granted, do not take any good thing you have for granted, we are all blessed even just existing with consciousness more than we can comprehend to the point we should not be able to hold in praises to YHWH the Father of all things.
Once you realize all things, and try to put them into perspective, you can really see how poorly the world is behaving.
Be humble, and love YHWH. Do not be prideful and try to make yourself greater than another, but cherish all life and see it as a gift from YHWH and belonging to YHWH. With no comparison heed the voice of YHWH and not blind men.
Man truly has nothing to fear other than YHWH, who is able to destroy both body and soul in Hell.
Whatever may happen to us in our life, YHWH always has the power to mend it and also has the power to make it far greater than before, I also am speaking of death of the physical body.
Once you're aware of the Truth, then you will know even in physical death, you're still in YHWH's hand, but there is one thing that is gravely terrifying, able to melt the heart of any individual that is able to become aware of it, that is being let go back into the void of non-existence, your consciousness not existing any longer, the good things in your life like family and friends no longer being yours.
Please take a moment to ponder these things. One has to be greatly blind to take this life and their consciousness for granted.
Fear, and especially the fear of YHWH, brings great benefits to men. So do not willingly blind yourself like an animal who does not know anything and does not perform higher thinking, in order to continue in unawareness and blindness in a comfort zone, such is a dangerous behavior that one will eventually regret.
Those who understand and fear YHWH are far more diligent to seek YHWH and hear and carry out all of his Word.
This is commonly an observable difference between a lawless person and someone who desires and strives to obey everything that comes from YHWH.
Now, on this page I will show the scriptures relating to this subject, and I also will work to show examples of why we should have fear and not be careless, fearless, disobedient, and wicked children.
There are many false teachers out there causing people to not fear their creator, the teaching is mainly being given by parents!
If parents raised their kids properly and taught them properly according to the knowledge from YHWH, we wouldn't have to be so concerned with false teacher strangers coming in and influencing us and our children, so if you're a parent quickly repent.
When people see others not fearing, they are taught to not fear, realize this and act accordingly.
One of the main beliefs that support the false teachings of fear is foolish and bad and no one should fear, is the belief that Elohim loves them and would never do anything bad to them.
They go through their lives day by day worried about what's on the TV, what they're going to purchase next with their money, what tasteful food they're going to indulge in today, what their friends are up to, what's happening on the internet, etc.., continuing such habits until the day that they die.
All of that time they should have been trembling because YHWH their maker has promised to end all of those who do not behave properly as he has taught us.
You can not escape YHWH, even if you die in this life, you can not escape him, you're utterly under his power and authority.
He has declared he will call us forth to pass his judgment and sentence on us according to what we have done in our life.
This life has become a test for us, the results of the test will show if we are worthy to be part of his eternal people, his children, in an awesome new world with him who has power to create reality.
Live your life aware that what is done in secret will be brought to light and nothing is hidden, take every moment of your life as a blessing and cherish the good things you've been given such as love.
Blind evil men may try to corrupt your walk by taking scriptures out of context, but we on guard and look above them to the one who made everything.
Those men may quickly tell you about the good things of Elohim, and the positive promises, and also tell you look at these good promises and to know Elohim is not a liar.
Be aware of their trick they perform by saying "Elohim does not lie" or as they will actually say "God does not lie", where they take the Truth out of context and only show the blessings and then tell others he doesn't lie.
Don't be blind, and indeed realize Elohim is NOT a liar, therefore all of his words and promises will be completed, which include the bad and scary things, the curses, that will be done to those who do not follow him in righteousness!
Modern men are allowing you to focus on this beautiful scripture;
John 3:16 "For Elohim so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life"
Modern men are not bringing focus to the rest of the scriptures that allows the actual context to be seen by the men of the world.
Only 20 verses later;
John 3:36 "He that believes on the Son has everlasting life, but whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of Elohim remains on him"
We do NOT want this said to us! Set your soul to strive to not be one of these!;
(Please recall my point on page 1 about Matthew 7:21)
Matthew 7:23 "And then will I say to them, I never knew you, depart from me you that work lawlessness"
(At John 3:36 above, the word in the Greek used means to not allow one's self to be persuaded, and also to not comply with, and to refuse obedience.
YHWH the creator, your savior, is righteous and true.
He fulfills all of his words and does not lie, therefore hear and fear;
Isaiah 66:22 "For as the new heavens and the new earth which I will make shall remain before me, says YHWH, so shall your seed and your name remain, and it shall come to pass that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, says YHWH, and they shall go forth and look on the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me, for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched, and they shall be a repulsion to all flesh"
Do not gain a false confidence that nothing is going to happen to you because it hasn't yet and because you don't see things happening quickly to other people living an ungodly life, this is because YHWH is gracious!
How horrible is it to speak evil towards YHWH for such a thing when it is actually him showing grace and love towards us, even when we do not deserve such!;
2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is long-suffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."

And I will set my face against you, and you shall be slain before your enemies, they that hate you shall reign over you, and you shall flee when none pursues you. And if you will not yet for all this listen to me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins, and I will break the pride of your power, and I will make your heavens as iron, and your earth as brass and your strength shall be spent in vain, for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits. And if you walk contrary to me and will not listen to me I will bring seven times more plagues on you according to your sins. I will also send wild beasts among you which shall rob you of your children and destroy your cattle and make you few in number, and your high ways shall be desolate. And if you will not be reformed by me by these things but will walk contrary to me, then will I also walk contrary to you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins. And I will bring a sword on you that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant, and when you are gathered together within your cities I will send the pestilence among you and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy, and when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight, and you shall eat and not be satisfied. And if you will not for all this listen to me but walk contrary to me, then I will walk contrary to you also in fury, and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins. And you shall eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters shall you eat, and I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcasses on the carcasses of your idols, and my soul shall loathe you, and I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not smell the smell of your sweet odors, and I will bring the land into desolation, and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it, and I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you, and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste. Then shall the land enjoy her Sabbaths as long as it lies desolate and you be in your enemies' land, then shall the land rest and enjoy her Sabbaths as long as it lies desolate it shall rest, because it did not rest in your Sabbaths when you dwelled on it. And on them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies, and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them and they shall flee as fleeing from a sword, and they shall fall when none pursues, and they shall fall one on another as it were before a sword when none pursues, and you shall have no power to stand before your enemies, and you shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up, and they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands, and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them. If they shall confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary to me and that I also have walked contrary to them and have brought them into the land of their enemies, if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity, Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember, and I will remember the land, the land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her Sabbaths while she lies desolate without them, and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity because they despised my judgments and because their soul loathed my statutes. And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I loathe them to destroy them utterly and to break my covenant with them, for I am YHWH their Elohim, but I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their Elohim. I am YHWH"
Deuteronomy 28:15 "However, if you do not obey YHWH your Elohim and do not carefully follow all his commands and decrees I am giving you today, all these curses will come upon you and overtake you:
You will be cursed in the city and cursed in the country.
Your basket and your kneading trough will be cursed.
The fruit of your womb will be cursed, and the crops of your land, and the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.
You will be cursed when you come in and cursed when you go out.
YHWH will send on you curses, confusion and rebuke in everything you put your hand to, until you are destroyed and come to sudden ruin because of the evil you have done in forsaking him. YHWH will plague you with diseases until he has destroyed you from the land you are entering to possess. YHWH will strike you with wasting disease, with fever and inflammation, with scorching heat and drought, with blight and mildew, which will plague you until you perish. The sky over your head will be bronze, the ground beneath you iron. YHWH will turn the rain of your country into dust and powder; it will come down from the skies until you are destroyed.
YHWH will cause you to be defeated before your enemies. You will come at them from one direction but flee from them in seven, and you will become a thing of horror to all the kingdoms on earth. Your carcasses will be food for all the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth, and there will be no one to frighten them away. YHWH will afflict you with the boils of Egypt and with tumors, festering sores and the itch, from which you cannot be cured. YHWH will afflict you with madness, blindness and confusion of mind. At midday you will grope about like a blind man in the dark. You will be unsuccessful in everything you do; day after day you will be oppressed and robbed, with no one to rescue you.
You will be pledged to be married to a woman, but another will take her and lay with her. You will build a house, but you will not live in it. You will plant a vineyard, but you will not even begin to enjoy its fruit. Your ox will be slaughtered before your eyes, but you will eat none of it. Your donkey will be forcibly taken from you and will not be returned. Your sheep will be given to your enemies, and no one will rescue them. Your sons and daughters will be given to another nation, and you will wear out your eyes watching for them day after day, powerless to lift a hand. A people that you do not know will eat what your land and labor produce, and you will have nothing but cruel oppression all your days. The sights you see will drive you mad. YHWH will afflict your knees and legs with painful boils that cannot be cured, spreading from the soles of your feet to the top of your head.
YHWH will drive you and the king you set over you to a nation unknown to you or your fathers. There you will worship other elohim, elohim of wood and stone. You will become a thing of horror and an object of scorn and ridicule to all the nations where YHWH will drive you.
You will sow much seed in the field but you will harvest little, because locusts will devour it. You will plant vineyards and cultivate them but you will not drink the wine or gather the grapes, because worms will eat them. You will have olive trees throughout your country but you will not use the oil, because the olives will drop off. You will have sons and daughters but you will not keep them, because they will go into captivity. Swarms of locusts will take over all your trees and the crops of your land.
The stranger who lives among you will rise above you higher and higher, but you will sink lower and lower. He will lend to you, but you will not lend to him. He will be the head, but you will be the tail.
All these curses will come upon you. They will pursue you and overtake you until you are destroyed, because you did not obey YHWH your Elohim and observe the commands and decrees he gave you. They will be a sign and a wonder to you and your descendants forever. Because you did not serve YHWH your Elohim joyfully and gladly in the time of prosperity, therefore in hunger and thirst, in nakedness and dire poverty, you will serve the enemies YHWH sends against you. He will put an iron yoke on your neck until he has destroyed you.
YHWH will bring a nation against you from far away, from the ends of the earth, like an eagle swooping down, a nation whose language you will not understand, a fierce-looking nation without respect for the old or pity for the young. They will devour the young of your livestock and the crops of your land until you are destroyed. They will leave you no grain, new wine or oil, nor any calves of your herds or lambs of your flocks until you are ruined. They will lay siege to all the cities throughout your land until the high fortified walls in which you trust fall down. They will besiege all the cities throughout the land YHWH your Elohim is giving you.
Because of the suffering that your enemy will inflict on you during the siege, you will eat the fruit of the womb, the flesh of the sons and daughters YHWH your Elohim has given you. Even the most gentle and sensitive man among you will have no compassion on his own brother or the wife he loves or his surviving children, and he will not give to one of them any of the flesh of his children that he is eating. It will be all he has left because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege of all your cities. The most gentle and sensitive woman among you—so sensitive and gentle that she would not venture to touch the ground with the sole of her foot—will begrudge the husband she loves and her own son or daughter the afterbirth from her womb and the children she bears. For she intends to eat them secretly during the siege and in the distress that your enemy will inflict on you in your cities.
If you do not carefully follow all the words of this law, which are written in this book, and do not revere this glorious and awesome name—YHWH your Elohim— YHWH will send fearful plagues on you and your descendants, harsh and prolonged disasters, and severe and lingering illnesses. He will bring upon you all the diseases of Egypt that you dreaded, and they will cling to you. YHWH will also bring on you every kind of sickness and disaster not recorded in this Book of the Law, until you are destroyed. You who were as numerous as the stars in the sky will be left but few in number, because you did not obey YHWH your Elohim. Just as it pleased YHWH to make you prosper and increase in number, so it will please him to ruin and destroy you. You will be uprooted from the land you are entering to possess.
Then YHWH will scatter you among all nations, from one end of the earth to the other. There you will worship other elohim—elohim of wood and stone, which neither you nor your fathers have known. Among those nations you will find no repose, no resting place for the sole of your foot. There YHWH will give you an anxious mind, eyes weary with longing, and a despairing heart. You will live in constant suspense, filled with dread both night and day, never sure of your life. In the morning you will say, "If only it were evening!" and in the evening, "If only it were morning!"—because of the terror that will fill your hearts and the sights that your eyes will see. YHWH will send you back in ships to Egypt on a journey I said you should never make again. There you will offer yourselves for sale to your enemies as male and female slaves, but no one will buy you"
1 Peter 1:15 "But as he who called you is set apart, you also be set apart in all behavior, for it is written, Be set apart for I am set apart. Since you call on a Father who judges according to every man's works without respect of persons, live your lives here in fear"

For those of you that I've complained and whined to about the status of my iPod:
It's working!!! After so much time where it was acting up, all of my songs are loaded back onto it and it is playing them. I couldn't be any more ecstatic.
Part of me wonders if my problems started with my FM transmitter for my car. It automatically charges my iPod anytime it is connected, and we all know that constantly charging a rechargable battery can screw it up. So now I'm nervous to try using the transmitter with my iPod.
Does anyone out there have any sage advice for this girl who wants to listen to her iPod in the car without screwing it up again?

How to Stick to Exercise
Starting an exercise program is easy. It's the follow-through that gets dicey: Research shows that most people quit working out in less than six months. Use these scientifically proven strategies to fail-proof your fitness plan.
Phone a Friend
It's simple, but one of the most effective ways to slim down. Women lose an average of 10 pounds when they diet and exercise with a partner, according to a recent study. "Having a partner gives you a support system," says Robert Reames, Gold's Gym Fitness Institute member and personal trainer. Sharing the journey to better health also makes it easier to stick to commitments when your willpower wanes.
Power Up
When you're feeling tired, grab your sneaks. Researchers from the University of Georgia found that regular exercise relieves fatigue better than resting. That's because getting your blood pumping causes oxygen to circulate throughout your body, which leads to a sensation of euphoria. Tweak your routine to make it harder to blow off exercise. "Bring clothes to work so you have no excuse not to head to the gym or the park before going home," says Reames. "You'll feel better if you make your workout a priority."
Stay on Track
People who use online tools to monitor their progress are more successful at keeping pounds off than those who don't log on, reports a recent study. "It creates accountability," Reames says. "You have to get on the computer and come to terms with what you've done—it's great motivation since you don't want to write that you skipped a workout." Journaling also reminds you of how far you've come, Reames adds. "You can easily look back and see how many inches you've lost or how much your running time has improved."
Reward Yourself
Set goals and determine what you'll get when you achieve them. "If you're going to be rewarded, you're going to do the work," Reames says. He recommends choosing health-oriented perks, like a trip to the spa or a meal at a healthy restaurant.

The Wolfram Language usually keeps the elements of a list in exactly the order you originally entered them. If you want to treat a Wolfram Language list like a mathematical set, however, you may want to ignore the order of elements in the list.
|give a list of the distinct elements in the listi
|give a list of the elements that are common to all the listi
|give a list of the elements that are in universal, but not in any of the listi
|give a list of all subsets of the elements in list
|delete all duplicates from list
Union gives the elements that occur in any of the lists:
Intersection gives only elements that occur in all the lists:
Complement gives elements that occur in the first list, but not in any of the others:
DeleteDuplicates deletes all duplicate elements from the list:

Monday, August 24, 2009
When the operation that reported the false information eventually issues a retraction, it sinks without a bubble while the sensational crap lives on.
Case in point:
AP Corrects Story About Vivid's Health Safety Record
LOS ANGELES—Vivid Entertainment co-chairman Steven Hirsch said today that he was relieved that the Associated Press had distributed a correction to an erroneous story that falsely reported on the leading adult studio's health safety record.
"The Associated Press is one of the most highly regarded news gathering organizations in the world, but on August 20 the news agency failed to check its facts for a story with the headline 'Porn Makers Challenged for not Mandating Condoms' by Shaya Tayefe Mohajer," Hirsch said. "Her story incorrectly stated that five performers in Vivid films tested positive for HIV in 2004. This erroneous statement was damaging to our company and demonstrates that you can never be too careful in sex and in journalism.
"The truth is that throughout 2004 Vivid had a mandatory condom policy and every performer was, and is today, tested before he or she acts in one of our productions. None of our performers had or has HIV. We are pleased that AP sent out a correction on Saturday, August 22 and only wish they had done so immediately after we called the error to their attention rather than waiting more than 24 hours."
Hirsch pointed out that since 2004 performers have acted in several hundred thousand-sex scenes shot by adult studios in the San Fernando Valley and there has only been one reported case of HIV.
"It is far more dangerous for a person to have sex with someone they meet casually in a bar than it is for people who act in a carefully policed adult film setting. We are confident that we are taking all precautions and the results to date demonstrate that this is the case," he said.
What do you want to bet that for months, even years, ahead we'll be reading about those five Vivid performers who got HIV on every anti-porn blog on earth?
What's that old saying about how a lie travels half way around the world before truth can get its boots on?

Vivid should have filed a libel suit against the Associated Press, and the writer immediately. The adult industry needs to grow some balls here right away!ReplyDelete
Well...there's a reason why we like to call that particular media organization the "AssPress"....they seem to have a bit of a problem with the tactic of researching before they write.ReplyDelete
I'm not sure that you can get them on libel, though, since they did go ahead and make the correction within 24 hours.
It wouldn't hurt my heart much if someone did, though.
No luck there. AP has a good-faith defense. It was a human error, corrected when called out.ReplyDelete
AP did not demonstrate reckless disregard for truth or falsity or deliberate malice and it would be difficult to prove that actual harm would have been done to the potential plaintiff.
The harm, of course, is that the falsity will be circulated as truth by those whose anti-porn agenda is notoriously unconcerned with facts on the ground, but that's not AP's fault.
The damage is done and irreversible, which is the problem with this kind of "accidental misrepresentation." There will always be those who believe everything they read, especially if it comes from those with whom they already agree, and that dynamic is beyond the control of any journalistic organization, even one whose intentions are benign.
If people choose to believe what is false over what is true, there isn't much that can be done to stop them.
However, I do agree with Lance that this industry overall needs to step up and quit apologizing for itself. We've got to get off our back foot and start advancing to meet the oncoming foe.
I've been saying this loud and clear for some time. I hope those with the resources to make themselves heard start answering back to these heinous and false charges and doing so soon, or they may find themselves with nothing left to talk about.
I'll say here and now that I'm getting a little tired of sticking up for people richer and and better positioned than I am to stick up for themselves.

Most days, I wake up, shower and immediately whip up my green smoothie of the day that I sip on for breakfast. Whenever I tell people that my morning fuel is a smoothie I often get asked how on earth it keeps me feeling full. Most people only consider a smoothie as a snack because not long after the last sip, we feel hungry again. The same goes for salads. I love enjoying a rainbow of a homemade salad as a meal, for either lunch or dinner. During the summer season I eat salads almost every day. They are crisp and cool, refreshing and easy to whip up on those scorching hot days. Yet again, I get asked how these plantiful plates leave me feeling satisfied.
Some can enjoy a smoothie or a salad and luckily feel full and satisfied no matter what their meal is comprised of. If this is the case for you, excellent! No need to overthink or overanalyze your diet. Clearly no changes are needed if you are feeling great and healthy. However if you do find your tummy is still rumbling after said "meal", I have something for you to consider the next time you prepare a meal.
There is a combination of three essential macronutrients to technically create a well-balanced meal. These macronutrients are proteins, healthy fats, and fibre and so as long as you include quality sources of all three you should feel happy and satisfied. Protein is either viewed as the most overrated and consumed ingredient or the most under consumed, creating blame for many dietary issues. However we individually tend to view it, we cannot deny that protein is extremely important for our health. Protein is responsible for our enzymes, blood, immunity, nervous system, muscle and tissue health, and weight management. Whether we choose to consume animal products or not, there are luckily more than enough great plant based sources of protein that we can include in our meals. It could be as simple as adding some hemp hearts to a smoothie or a handful of nuts or seeds to a salad.
Aside from the importance of protein, we also need to love and embrace healthy fats. Unfortunately, many people still view fats as the enemy which was an irresponsible claim that was created in the early 1980's. Medical professionals advised us to avoid nuts, avocadoes, and oils to name a few. And by reducing or eliminating the fat content in absolutely every food product created and replacing it with salt, sugar, and chemicals we were bombarded with a wave of serious health concerns that we continue to battle today. We have many vitamins essential for optimal health that rely on fat consumption to be absorbed in our bodies. These vitamins are called fat-soluble vitamins and they include vitamins A, D, E, and K. We have all heard of vitamin D deficiency for example and the symptoms from this deficiency include mental illnesses such as depression and schizophrenia, impaired gut health, dementia, erectile dysfunction, multiple sclerosis, and certain types of cancers. Aside from vitamin absorption, healthy fats are important for our immunity, enhancing our brain and nervous function, reducing heart disease, and improving both organ and gland functions. They also play a huge role in our energy levels, moods, behaviours, and intelligence. Over the past few years, our realization of the importance of healthy fats has taken priority in the health and wellness community and the clarification is spreading like wildfire. It is for this reason that certain super foods like coconut oil and hemp products have been flying off the shelves. This personally makes me dance for joy.
Lastly, we want to incorporate a source of fibre to our foods. There are two kinds of fibre to be aware of here and they both actually cannot be digested by our bodies. Produce such as cucumbers, berries, beans and legumes and nuts all contain soluble fibre which dissolves into a gel like substance. This gel texture slows down our digestion aiding us in feeling fuller for a longer period of time. Foods such as dark leafy vegetables, green beans, celery, whole grains, and nuts and seeds all contain insoluble fibre. Insoluble fibre helps to add bulk to our stool as it does not dissolve. This additional bulk plays a huge role in moving waste through our digestive system in a timely manner. Insoluble fibre helps us stay healthy and regular. It is also to be noted that many foods contain both soluble and insoluble fibre. Fibre is all about supporting our digestion which plays a crucial role in our overall health. In addition to gut health, these fibres also help to reduce the risk of heart disease and strokes.
Ideally, we want to be consuming a quality source of protein, healthy fat, and fibre for every snack and meal. The combination of the three help to stabilize our blood sugar levels (which helps reduce cravings, weight gain, and health conditions). Using a protein, healthy fat, and fibre also form a complete meal-leaving us feeling satisfied and full. We do not need a lot of each source, but we do want to aim for a good quality source.
This equation will not come to you overnight and that's A-Okay! Practice makes perfect. Every time you prepare a snack or a meal ask yourself "What is my protein? Do I have a healthy fat? What about fibre?" Keep this list handy until you are familiar with adequate sources of each essential nutrient.
1. SMOOTHIE: Spinach, banana, pineapple (fibre)
Unsweetened shredded coconut (healthy fat)
Hemp hearts (protein and healthy fat)
Water or unsweetened almond or coconut milk.
2. SALAD: Kale, romaine, apple, green and red onion, celery (all fibre)
Roasted pecans and almonds, feta cheese (both healthy fat and protein)
Alfalfa sprouts (protein)
Extra virgin olive oil (healthy fat)
Balsamic vinegar
3. SNACK: Apple (fibre)
Almond butter (both a healthy fat and a protein)
4. BURGER: A whole grain or gluten free bun, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, mushrooms, etc. (all fibre)
Legume or meat patty (protein)
Avocado (healthy fat and fibre)
5. OATMEAL: Rolled or steal cut oats, berries, ground flax (all fibre)
Chia seeds, slivered almonds (both protein and healthy fats)
Cinnamon, coconut palm sugar, almond milk, sea salt.

The real story behind that great 'ATL LED BY 25' Panthers jersey
Panthers fan Daniel Solomon did not realize he was going to create such a stir when he wore his Carolina jersey that took a dig at the Atlanta Falcons and their Super Bowl loss Thursday night.
But Solomon, a military veteran who lives in the Raleigh area, didn't mind the fuss. "It's something I decided to do to poke a little fun at the Falcons," Solomon told me Friday. "Their fans can really be kind of annoying."
Solomon ordered his jersey from NFLShop.com, where you can customize practically any last name on any jersey. He typed in for the last name "ATL LED BY" and chose the number 25, so the full effect looks like a jersey that reads "ATL LED BY 25" on the back.
The Falcons, of course, led 28-3 in the most recent Super Bowl against New England before losing.
Solomon wore the jersey for the first time Thursday night during Carolina's preseason game against Pittsburgh, causing a number of double-takes in Bank of America Stadium. At least one fan snapped a picture of the jersey and put it on Twitter, where it began trending.
I saw the jersey on Twitter and asked for the fan who wore the jersey to contact me and – through the magic of social media – Solomon got my message through a friend on Friday. By that time, he had already attained temporary folk hero status among a subsection of Panthers fans.
Could the guy who was wearing this jersey contact me? Because that is hilarious. https://t.co/223Nnc1kP6— Scott Fowler (@scott_fowler) September 1, 2017
I need this jersey in my life.— Kate McCrea (@kate_mccrea) September 1, 2017
If you find him, tell him I owe him a beer or two or three.— Kurt Zamora (@KTankTJR) September 1, 2017
That guy gets to hit the "Keep Pounding" drum at every home game against ATL for the foreseeable future.— Darwin Brandis (@DarwinBrandis) September 1, 2017
Solomon said he served in the U.S. Army for four years as an infantryman. He was stationed for awhile in Italy and also at Fort Bragg. He has more recently been studying graphic design at Campbell University.
"I've been a Panthers fan since the team's inception," said Solomon, adding that he grew up in Miami but had lived in North Carolina for most of the past 20 years. "I've had PSLs (season tickets) for the past four of those seasons. My favorite game ever was the New Orleans win at home in the rain, in 2013."
Solomon has always liked the number "25" and has in the past owned a Carolina jersey with that number and his own last name atop the numerals. This year he had the inspiration to keep the number but do something slightly different. He said the jersey was "all in fun" and he hoped nobody took it too seriously.
The jersey will make its regular-season debut along with the Panthers, Solomon said. He plans to travel to California along with his brother to watch the Sept. 10 game at San Francisco -- they generally pick one road game a year to attend.
And, of course, Solomon will be wearing the jersey.

Ah, kale! The darling of the vegetable world. This dark, leafy green is delicious and nutritious. Check out what WebMD says about it:
"One cup of kale contains 36 calories, 5 grams of fiber, and 15% of the daily requirement of calcium and vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), 40% of magnesium, 180% of vitamin A, 200% of vitamin C, and 1,020% of vitamin K. It is also a good source of minerals copper, potassium, iron, manganese, and phosphorus."
Holy Moley! That's some good stuff! We used Dinosaur Kale, also known as Lacinto Kale, Tuscan Kale, or Black Kale. The name Dinosaur Kale (which is my favorite) comes from the leaves having the appearance of dinosaur skin. Stephanie and I made almost everything for this salad from scratch and it was so easy!
We started by preparing the croutons. This takes some time since the croutons have to be baked to get that delightful crunch so I suggest starting with this step.
- Cut sliced bread into cubes. You pick the bread and the cube size. We used sourdough and cubed it to about 1 inch.
- Melt 1/4 cup of butter with an equal amount of olive oil over very low heat. Add 2 diced cloves of garlic, 1 tsp of dried italian herbs, and a big pinch of salt. Keep over heat for one or two more minutes so the garlic gets completely infused into the butter and oil.
- Pour butter mixture over bread cubes and toss.
- Place cubes into a large baking dish or onto a cookie sheet.
- Sprinkle liberally with grated Parmesan cheese and a pinch more salt.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes at 325°F or until light brown and crispy. Remember to toss once during baking process for even browning.
While the croutons are baking, you can prep and bake the chicken breasts and they should finish around the same time.
This is so easy! Place chicken breasts in a baking dish and season both sides with salt and pepper. I also used a little smoked paprika for added fun. Add about 1/3 cup of liquid to the baking dish. Tonight, chicken stock was used. You can also use white wine or even just water. This helps keep the meat moist. Cover dish with foil and put in the oven below the croutons. Yes, specifically below the croutons, just in case something spills; you don't want any raw chicken-ness on your yummy croutons. It should take about 20 minutes for the chicken breasts to cook through and be sure to take foil off about half way through. Cooking time really depends on the size of the chicken breasts so if you are unsure, make sure you use a meat thermometer and it registers 165°F. That is the USDA recommended safe minimum.
Time to make the dressing. There are a lot of great recipes out there on the interweb and, over the years, I've taken what I like from various recipes and managed to make my own. I hate dirtying measuring spoons and I like to "eyeball" most things so here's a list of what I use:
- 3 garlic, peeled and rough chopped
- 3 anchovy fillets
- 2 egg yolks (save the whites for making a scramble in the morning for breakfast)
- juice of one lemon
- 1 Tablespoon of Dijon Mustard
- 2 dashes of Worcestershire sauce
- 3/4 cup of finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup of olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
I like to do this with an immersion blender (you can use a regular blender as well). **If you don't have access to a blender, you can finely chop the garlic and anchovies and use a pinch of salt and the side of your knife blade to mash the ingredients together into a paste. Then, follow the rest of the directions.**
Put all ingredients together EXCEPT the olive oil, parmesan, and salt and pepper. Begin blending. Once ingredients are blended, slowly add olive oil and parmesan. You can pause at any moment to taste as you go along. Be sure to add salt and lots of fresh cracked pepper to taste. No blender? Use a bowl and a whisk for the same results. Your whisking arm will get a nice workout.
Kale stems are tough, especially when raw, so tear the stems out and chop to an edible size, about 1-2 inches wide.
We also added some cherry tomatoes. Toss greens with dressing. Place on plates, add sliced chicken breast pieces, add croutons and a pinch of grated Parmesan cheese and you're ready to dig in!

Loudo at Largo
Live review: Loudon Wainwright at Largo at the Coronet
February 10, 2010 3:26 pm
The folksy, Grammy-winning musician sings about optimism in the face of bad times.
Loudon Wainwright III was fighting a losing battle with his guitar Tuesday night at Largo at the Coronet: He wanted it to stay in tune, the guitar didn't. So roughly an hour into his show the L.A.-based folkie hatched the kind of plan that comes naturally to someone with Wainwright's experience. "I'm gonna do a blues now," he announced. "That way it don't matter."
That his plan worked probably says more about the ingenuity of Wainwright's lyrics than it does about his fiery juke-joint chops; the blues was about Paul Krugman and contained enough jokes to fill one of the Nobel Prize-winning economist's columns.
Yet even though he succeeded in distracting the audience from his tuning issues, Wainwright still couldn't resist making some minor mid-song adjustments to his instrument -- a perfect illustration of the unfailing attention to detail that's made Wainwright one of his generation's most well-regarded songwriters.
Tuesday's concert, the first stop on a brief California solo tour, came shortly after Wainwright received his first Grammy, for last year's "High Wide and Handsome: The Charlie Poole Project," on which Wainwright pays tribute to the obscure 1920s banjo player. An admitted cynic who leavens his misanthropy with disarming sensitivity, Wainwright didn't pretend that the Grammy win victory lacked personal or professional meaning; he opened with "The Grammy Song," a smirking plea for acknowledgment from his 1983 album "Fame and Wealth."
But mostly the show felt like an exercise of old charms rather than an appeal for fresh ears.
Thanks to the uncommon precision of his writing, those charms haven't dulled over the course of Wainwright's 40-year career. Songs about the cruelty of show business, such as "Hollywood Hopeful" and "Grey in L.A.," sounded no less true for having helped Wainwright establish a lucrative presence on the silver screen; the latter, it's worth remembering, was written for Judd Apatow's 2007 smash "Knocked Up."
And his "family material," as he put it at one point, remains almost unbearably poignant. Tunes like "Out of Reach," "Surviving Twin" and "In C" suggested that if anyone examines his relationships with his father and his children as penetratingly as Wainwright does, he's not making the records to prove it.
The singer did take advantage of his new status as a Grammy winner to talk up a forthcoming album of songs he said were inspired by "the new depression." ("I'm gonna cash in!" he added with a laugh.) In one of them he observed an unhappily married couple forced to stay together by their inability to sell their house -- a typical scenario for this lover of the everyday absurd.
Another took a less familiar tack, assuring those affected by the current economic crisis that "it's not the end of the world, it's just the middle of the night." Wainwright prefaced the tune by saying that after years of serving as "the loyal opposition to the John Denver / Dan Fogelberg bloc," he was now attempting to cultivate a more optimistic tone.
And so he did, though not without his fair share of sour notes.

How To Get More Followers On Instagram
Before I get going with my content here, I want to quickly provide you with this Instagram Powertool BONUS (see blue button below). I would also recommend following popular Instagram accounts that are similar in content to your own. Now I know that you know that makes sense, but I'm sure you're also wondering how to find those popular accounts. Well click on the blue link below to read about how you get insider information to laser target what you're looking for on Instagram.
Learning how to find people on Instagram or even learning how to get more followers on Instagram freely isn't a secret I assure you. There are good methods, well known methods.. typically your more manual methods with a little app assistance, pay for follower websites, hacks and other software designed to get the job done whether you want to do it legitimately or whether you want to risk your account through ill advised means.
From purely an "informational" standpoint, lets just say that I'm just being completely transparent about this as there are always methods to game the system and grow unnaturally on any social network.
Nevertheless, I'll be advising you on safe and more manual methods because that's the route that I choose personally for my own account, but I'll also mention what I wouldn't advise as well while we're on the subject and on this post.
With that said, let's not place a dark cloud on Instagram. It's a great place for bloggers, business owners and people in general. We all enjoy photography even if we don't know anything about taking a good photo ourselves.
With that said, I will concede that it hasn't always been that transparent when it comes to finding new people to follow beyond the suggestions that they make and the search function. Either of which didn't always provide you with results that were relevant to what you may be focusing your account on. However, it can't be dismissed that the reason for this may stem from the reality that where it once was in terms of it's userbase is quite different from where it is now in terms of it's rapid growth as depicted below in the graph when compared to the growth of Twitter.
How To Find People On Instagram
Considering the millions of people that use the photo based social network, one would hardly ague that searching and finding new people to follow should be... well pretty basic. Of the methods that I'm going to share with you are:
Instagrams internal search function & Instagrams people feature
Instawoot (it's still early to get in on this new way of growing Instagram followers) - not covered in this post, but the link will direct you a dedicated blog post about this method
Instapic (download can be found here: instapic-windows-8.en.softonic.com/download). You will have to click on "free download". You'll then be directed to the Instapic information page. The Windows 8 store should open automatically where it will take you to the Instapic app.
BONUS Instagram Power Tool
Internal Function & People Feature
The internal function for Instagram is pretty straightforward. If you're using the application, you can simply navigate to the search function (it looks like a magnifying glass) at the bottom of the app. Once you tap that, the application takes you to another window where it gives you three options. Those options are to search by typing in a query (e.g. someone's name, a hashtag (ex. #photo) or search by the people suggestions tab) that is also located in that window.
If you're struggling to search for popular hashtags, here is a list of several that you can choose from:
#tbt, #Follow, #Cute, #Photooftheday, #Followme, #Tagsforlikes, #Summer, #Fun, #Friends, #Instadaily, #Likelike, #Fashion, #Food, #Swag, #All_shots, #Instago, #Instacool, #Instafollow, #Cool, #Funny, #Eyes, #Followback, #Nice, #Fitness, #Blue, #Day, #Iphonesia, #Black, #Christmas, #Makeup, #Dog, #Photo, #Onedirection, #New, #Model, #Instaphoto, #Goodmorning, #S4s, #In, #You, #Picstitch, #Perfect, #Likeback, #louistomilnson, #Yum, #Sister, #Nike, #Blessed, #With, #Breakfast, #Snow, #Truth, #Friday, #Adorable, #Bff, #Gym, #Haha, #fit, #Out, #Wedding, #Face, #Quote, #Cake, #Delicious, #Nyc, #Puppy, #Fresh, #Saturday, #Blonde, #Outfit, #Japan, #Friendship, #On, #Louis, #View, #Gay, #This, #Rain, #Car, #Sad, #Followers, #Chill, #Cold, #Miami, #sunshine, #weekend.
With hundreds of millions of blogs that are in the blogosphere today, as you can see from these popular hashtags there's truly something for everyone where your content and interests can fit into the following(s) that you're trying to build or just in aims of finding people that share the same interests that you do.
The next method is using web.stagram.com. Here what you'll find is a web based portal that you have to authorize in order to be able to access your Instagram account. Once you've done that you'll be able to see the activity on your feed and what others have been posting that are associated with you. One of the options in the panel once you're logged in is to be able to search. This can be done with a keyword, a hashtag or with someone's name. The easiest way to make use of this function is to just search by a keyword or a hashtag. Entering any hashtag will yield a number of results on the right hand side of the page. You will see a thumbnail image of the person for that profile and in most cases a title that describes what they are most likely interested in. From there, just click on who you want to see and you can follow them from there. So in my case, since I'm focused on blogging, I would enter a hashtag such as #blog and that yields over 4 million results and I would peruse the listings from there.
The very next and last method that I will mention is called Instapic. You should be a Windows 8 user to get this from their app store. It's a free application and once you have downloaded this, otherwise known as a "client app for Instagram", just sign in with your Instagram account. Once you're logged in, you get the same options as you would get with the app on your phone. On the left side of the screen in the navigation pane, you'll see a magnifying glass that will allow you to search. Click on that and then click on the smaller magnifying glass in the upper right hand corner of the window. I know that does seem a little quirky and unnecessary to me to have to click two things before you can actually perform the search, but that's the only way it can be done in Instapic. Once you've done that you can search by keyword, hashtag or by name. What I like about this application is that it gives you the ability to follow them right away without having to navigate to that individuals profile page. I haven't had any problems with this application and it is by all accounts very legitimate, updated and supported by Instagram. Amidst the host of applications that are third party to Instagram, this is one I trust in particular hence my reason for mentioning in this post.
Now that I have provided you with options that will grow your Instagram, albeit, not the fastest methods, but will likely keep your accounts safe, nothing implied however, lets chat for just a minute about the realities of a couple of unrecommended methods.
If you are solely focused on buying followers, yes, you can pay to get Instagram accounts. A simple Google search for paid Instagram accounts will yield results that will give you several options, however, such methods are not meant for your main account or an account that you care about. If you're looking to basically test out a service provider that will furnish you with loads of followers to see how Instagram will respond once the service has been provided on your account that is an option for you but again not something that I recommend, but ultimately it is your choice. Mention of buying followers again are communicated here as information and not as any form of recommendation.
The other option that I will mention is going to Youtube and performing a search for get Instagram followers. You will find videos where you can download apps that focus on a coin system. This system involves setting up parasite or throwaway accounts to get coins that can be used in exchange for follows / followers. This builds up accounts very quickly but you have no way to filter who is on your account and again this will create a red flag on your account because of the rapid growth which will lead to premature closure/banning of that account by Instagram. Again this is communicated as information only and not any form of recommendation.
I recommend slower and safe methods to build your Instagram account to get more followers and to find people as well as I've mentioned in this post.. all of which can be done freely and do build up your presence on Instagram over time. However the goals of your account may differ from someone else. So with that said, you have both my recommendations and options that I do not recommend as well. I hope you've found this post informational, helpful and insightful.

ONE Sentence IS The New Paragraph
One sentence IS the new paragraph.
It's true; especially in email marketing.
See, if you're like me, then you've willingly subscribed to someone's list before and (if they're worth they're salt) you've subsequently received some of their emails.
The Million Dollar Question Is… Do you read them?
And if you've subscribed to more than one person's list – providing you're reading their emails, that is – after a while, you start to see patterns emerge.
I subscribe to many people… (to name a few: Marie Forleo, Frank Kern, Pam Hendrickson, & Laura Roeder) and the one thing they all have in common is how they structure their emails (secret: their emails are abbreviated versions of their blogs.)
Wanna know how they do it?
Super Short.
Well Written.
Because, the truth of the matter is that our attention spans have grown increasingly short due to extreme over-stimulation from numerous external stimuli (let alone the internal voices in our heads) and subsequently our ADD brains can't seem to handle a paragraph, let alone a run-on sentence like the one I've just written.
And there's no point in blasting emails out to your clients if no one is opening and reading them.
SO, how do you go about crafting effective emails?
Here's an easy 3 step process I use.
1.) First, I write out and brainstorm my thoughts; a free form brain dump. Initially, for me… anything and everything goes down on paper or gets typed up…
2.) Next, I ask: What's missing? What's redundant? What's unclear? I re-organize and re-write. (Think in terms of action-oriented short bursts of information.)
3.) Lastly, I take what I've written and whittle it down to the clearest, most concise possible version. (Needless to say, always proof anything you write.)
Sometimes #3 take a bit of time and effort, but I usually find that each time I re-write, I'm able to clarify, as well as simplify my message.
How about you? Got any specific strategies you use for communicating clearly and effectively to your audience?
Please share your methods in the comments below. I'd love to hear from ya!

Why us?
By supporting The Bush Tannery, you are voting YES for sustainable tanning and leather crafting practices and education services that are part of the change that this world needs in the future RIGHT NOW.
What began as a simple idea out of necessity while ice fishing for months in remote wilderness, snowballed into obsession and personal transformation. Due to an abundance of fish in the region, the skins were saved and turned into leather based on Lotta Rahme's recipes.
Standing on the shoulders of our ancestors across the planet, traditional tanning and leather crafting taps into the timeless wisdom teachings of our connection with nature… OUR nature.
For thousands of years we have had a close connection with animals, and while horrific practices are conducted across the planet, The Bush Tannery seeks only to support the most ethical, sustainable and respectful practices that celebrate life…. NOT destroy it!
"Take care of the land and the land will take care of you"
- as commonly expressed here amongst Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.
OUR COMMUnITY
Community engagement and a sharing of the traditional skills and practices of tanning and leather crafting are what make these practices soo special! Throughout 2016, TBT held multiple workshops within a community setting at Wominjeka (Welcome in Wurrindjeri language - the acknowledged traditional owners of the land), affirming that these skills and practices are still very much searched after in this day and age.
The Bush Tannery supports various community and interest groups, who are wanting to learn firsthand and potentially go on to preserve the knowledge so that our children can also participate in this incredible past time.
Lastly and most importantly… Spending time with our youth to engage in practical skills that allow young people to understand and experience firsthand traditional skills that have been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years.
Embedded in the practices of traditional tanning and leather crafting with The Bush Tannery are lessons of sustainability, using only waste skins and furs that would otherwise end up as landfill (contributing to greenhouse gas emissions). Independence, through learning to create a textile based on incredible science, then produce a craft that will last a lifetime, while having the knowledge for the rest of their lives. Creative and Critical Thinking, as we begin to shift towards more importance on innovation and preventive solutions to our global issues. Young people will also learn ethics, through working with natural materials that engage with natural ecological cycles. And of course Intercultural connections as these practices transcend language barriers and allow young people to engage with their, hands and bodies, as most of our communication is through body language.
"If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder … he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement, and mystery of the world we live in."
– Rachel Carson

S: Robert Aiden Raaka
BC: "Where there is love, there is life." -Indira Gandhi
FC: Robert Aiden 9-24-2010
1: Weeks 39 Pregnant
2: Robert Aiden Raaka September 24, 2010 9:03 PM 9 lbs 1 oz, 21 inches
3: Hush Little Baby
8: Family
10: Baby
12: Our Little Ones
13: Two Weeks Old
14: Little Memories
15: Our Baby Boy
16: January 9, 2010 Today we found out that we are pregnant! I was 1 day late, so I took a pregnancy test. I came out of the bathroom, and showed Mark the test that said "Pregnant." Mark leaned over with a grin and gave me a big kiss. We were so excited that we decided to head to Bellevue to the Melting Pot for a celebration! January 16, 2010 We saw the baby's heartbeat today! Mark looked so proud. We also called our family, we just couldn't hold it in! Mom was thrilled, she couldn't believe that she was going to be a Grandma. Bob and Martha were thrilled too, even though this baby is their 4th grandchild.
17: Ten little fingers & ten tiny toes... | January 18, 2010 Let the cravings begin! So far the thing I want most is salt. I ate half a can of black olives the other day! I haven't had any morning sickness, but eggs are revolting. I can't even smell them. I have had a little trouble with my blood pressure, I passed out at work the other day, or nearly so. We found out that our due date is September 21st. April 26, 2010 It's a BOY! We are going to name him Robert Aiden Raaka after Mark's Dad. We'll call him Aiden.
18: June 8, 2010 I am 25 weeks today, and Aiden is getting stronger by the day. I can feel him all the time now, and Mark talks to him daily and kisses my belly. He's even felt Aiden a couple of times now. The nursery is coming along wonderfully. We decided on a blue and brown Puppy Dog theme.Mark has been busy putting crown moulding up the last few days. It's looking so good! 15 more weeks to go... June 23, 2010 Apparently Aiden is in the 99th percentile for size! That's a little intimidating for me. He already weighs 2 lbs, 7 oz!
19: Lil' Bundle | July 4, 2010 Mark and I are going to lots of fun concerts this summer, because it will be much harder to do with a little bundle around. We went to Lillith Fair and saw Sarah McLachlan, Colbie Callait, Sugarland and Sheryl Crow. We are also going to see the Barenaked Ladies and Dave Matthews Band later in the summer. I am getting unwieldy now, but I get lots of help from Mark, especially when standing up. My favorite part of the day would be the foot and leg massages! I am starting to retain water and really swell up, which is so painful. I am pampered by Mark though. Aiden is so lucky to have such a wonderful Daddy!
20: August 24, 2010 Just under 1 month to go! We are headed to Portland for Gretchen and Eric's Wedding this weekend, and we'll finish off the baby shopping while we are down there. Aiden is kicking pretty hard now, and I can feel all of his little limbs. They're sharp! I keep saying that I don't think my belly can get any bigger, but then it does. We went to San Diego last month, and I spent a lot of my time sleeping. I do that a lot lately. This little guy really takes it out of me! They are staring to wonder if I have pre-eclampsia, but haven't diagnosed anything yet. I'm just anxious to meet our little boy. He can't get here soon enough!

"The Incarnation" is an anthology of classic and contemporary literature. It contains works from Max Lucado, B.S. Lewis, Charles Dickenson, Penelope Stokes and so many more. It has poetry, hymns, prays, book excerpts and scripture. It is from the engagement of Mary and Joseph to Simeon looking towards Jesus.
A logo is an acronym of this word logotype or logogram. A logo is considered a representation of a word, phrase, or a hint. Like the cross represents christianity yahoo answers, a star represents the Jewish faith; an arrow shows direction and the like.
This will be the foremost in style class. As you'll already guess, you will find several fun sayings concerning Santa Claus, Christmas trees, snow, giving presents, and every one one alternative topic connected with the Holiday.It is easy find out funny sayings in regards to this subject, becasue it is a time for joy and joy. Thus you'll merely notice several artistic ways in which to develop a humorous saying concerning in which.
The items included take a Joseph and what he possess felt through the birth of Jesus or what Gabriel thought when he got an order that God was to be able to become babies along with taking a search at some characters during the story. Within reading only one chapter unique begins searching the "white spaces between Bible verses" as Max Lucado says and question these various things, like what happened to Joseph after Jesus was blessed.
The Gospel of John brings the chapter of John ultimately bible to life on tv and film. Christopher Plummer will be the narrator with Henry Ian Cusick playing Jesus and Christopher Stuart Burke playing John.
Gnostic Guy – Your original question was for someone else. I wouldn't presume to answer for that person, nor anyone identifying themselves as the Christian, Gnostic, nor Gnostic Christian. Just there are 2 billion Christians, and thousands of denominations, I don't think there may ever be any consensus on any question, but plenty of scared people who, in fear, won't buck the orthodoxy. I suppose, my chiming in, was merely to address orthodox conceit and arogance to always impose a dogma of perspective on others, even though of what one guy says. I have to address the "Thin Skinned" remark. I handle paper at work and often get paper cuts, despite a normal amount of calluses.
"They did what he said, supplying a sudden there were so many fish involved with it that they weren't strong enough to pull it around. Then the disciple Jesus loved said to Peter, 'It's the Pro!' When Peter realized that ended up being the Master, he threw on some clothes, for he was stripped for work, and dove in the sea. Another disciples were only available in by boat for they weren't removed from land, numerous yards or so, pulling along when you do full of fish. When they got using the boat, they saw a fireplace laid, with fish and bread cooking on information technology.
Six: The potential Unleashed is ready before Armageddon when a dictator traces every section human life. A mysterious stranger, played by Stephen Baldwin, holds the key to survival. I've not seen the full movie but from a few things i have seen it is not a "fire and brimstone" movie.

The design and themes of my tattoos: I like to use different artists to get different design elements. The themes vary from darker art to girlier pieces. I have many sides to me and my tattoos represent that.
More specifics about my tattoo: All my tattoos represent different point in my life. I can look at one and remember a milestone I overcame, or a beautiful moment. I don't regret a single one.
My favorite tattoo and the story behind it: My owl. I am of Greek decent and as a child my favorite mythological goddess was Athena, the goddess of wisdom. Her companion and guardian was the owl and now my owl is mine. I used the artwork from my favorite deftones album, Diamond Eyes for the owl.

You pious people in your pews
All you reading about the arrival of some wondrously good news
A new horizon can't you see?
Well imagine you were with my wife, beloved daughter and me
We three had left together but suddenly were four
And I'm not certain about much more
Four in the quietude of dripping rain
No one letting go of the pinching pain
because only the rain deserves such disdain
We picked up a hitchhiker as into rough waters we'd wade
And the gentleman told us to please call him 'Suade'
A human storm by madness made
And then he made us walk blindly through the wood
Until he told us to stay precisely where we stood
in the wilderness it is a mean and uncertain gamble
As you amble through the briars and the brambles
You need to possess a lot of fortitude
Because the icy winds are oftentimes too rude
Suddenly Suede swung with a swipe and that's when my hope and strength were to fade
He rose up like an oak in a forest of fear and I opposing Suade
A madman, a maniac, a massacre made
And in that infinitesimal and infinite second, although I am a pacifist, I could have killed Suede
Then suddenly the fighting was done
As Suede arose and I just wanted us all to run
And doth did both men huddle close to his opponent
While adding Suede's scent akin to camel dung to the troubles of his component
There were three of us and he was only one
But the one who wields the power also wields a gun
His mind was set on our flower of a daughter whom he decided to pluck
Now let's all go out to find her,
yeah, lots of luck
Suddenly he just stole our baby away
Away I say, and gone perhaps for ever and good
Hidden In a new area, in a brand new neighborhood
All we wanted to do was give a ride and fill a need to help the needy
But some men are seedy and too many of them are greedy
His scowl was darkness, his blackish eyes seemed way too dim
And that's virtually all we can remember of him
While the police find not the culprit in a world of the gross and the grim
My wife and I were defenseless and both our hearts were horrendously hurt
Oh and that's what brought about the sorrowful phrase an "Amber Alert"
