Most Aucklanders dream of escaping the big smoke for the festive season - but the City of Sails is Airbnb's most popular holiday destination for Kiwis this summer.
More than 5860 Kiwis are set to stay in Airbnbs in Auckland between December 2017 and January 2018, according to the company's list of the top 20 travel destinations for New Zealanders this holiday season, based on bookings.
New Zealand's biggest city trumps local holiday hotspots Queenstown, Rotorua and Taupoo and overseas destinations including the Gold Coast, Melbourne, Paris, London and Tokyo.
Northland and the Bay of Islands, which are home to some of the country's popular summer holiday destinations such as Matapouri, did not feature on the list.
Whitianga was the only Coromandel spot, in the top 20, coming in 15th with 994 guest arrivals booked between December and January.
Chief executive of Tourism Industry Aotearoa Chris Roberts said Kiwi holidaymakers spent $631 million in Auckland between December 2016 and January 2017. The next closest area was Christchurch where the domestic tourism spend was $228m.
He expected the spend to grow as much as five percent this summer.
"The traditional view of the Kiwi summer holiday is heading to the lakeside or beachside, and that definitely does happen, but as our biggest city, Auckland does attract visitors during that time as well and that is often event based."
A number of major international artists are set to play in Auckland in December, including Sir Paul McCartney, Harry Styles and Jack Johnson. The usual line up of summer events such as the Ellerslie races and ASB Classic tennis tournament were also a major drawcard for the city, said Roberts.
Auckland Tourism, Events and Economic Development general manager of destination, Steve Armitage, said summer was traditionally Auckland's busiest season in terms of attracting domestic and international visitors.
"All accommodation providers, including hotels and motels, [are] in high demand during this period."
The five top destinations for Kiwis this festive season, according to Airbnb's list, were Auckland, Queenstown, Tauranga, Christchurch and Taupo, with a total of more than 16,000 guest arrivals booked as of October.
An Airbnb spokesman said the list was comprised at the end of October and could change closer to Christmas as last-minute bookings were made.
The great escape
Whether it's lounging in a $5000 per night luxury pad, sleeping in a caravan or an aviation-themed loft, there are plenty of places on offer across the country this summer.
Among the most expensive properties on accommodation website Bookabach was Korora Estate on Waiheke Island.
The six-bedroom home located in a gated complex comes complete with a pool, tennis court, helipad, spectacular views and price tag of at least $5070 per night over December and January.
Another luxury property was listed on Airbnb from $1200 per night over the same period.
The four-bedroom architecturally designed home in Queenstown, called Altitude Luxury, featured breathtaking views of Lake Wakatipu and the Remarkables.
With outdoor and indoor fireplaces and a large outdoor living space with a BBQ, this place has your summer covered.
For those after a more moderately-priced, family-friendly holiday, Bookabach had a number of great options for around $200 per night.
A stylish eco cabin situated amongst native bush at Ruapuke Beach, just south of Raglan, was going from $240 per night over the Christmas period.
With no cellphone coverage or wifi and run on alternative power - solar for lights and gas for cooking and hot water - this was the perfect place to wind down and enjoy some family time over summer.
There were also plenty of budget options on offer on Bookabach and Airbnb.
Two caravans permanently parked up on a lakefront property in Cooks Beach, Coromandel, were on offer from $125 per night over the festive season on Bookabach.
The caravans sleep eight people plus there was plenty of extra space for tents. Don't fear - although this sounds like camping, the property had all the amenities including a shower, toilet, kitchen and television.
Alternatively, for those looking to stay in the city over the holiday season, an aviation-themed apartment was up for grabs in Auckland CBD on Airbnb.
With quirky furnishings including plane seats and airport signs displaying departure and arrival times, this Airbnb was sure to be a bit of fun.
The one-bedroom, renovated space was going from $99 per night on the Airbnb website, over December and January.

The Gun fire that scorched 125 acres in the Cleveland National Forest was contained Tuesday morning, a fire dispatcher said.
Fire update
Size: 125 acres
Threatened: No structures
Percent contained: 100 percent
Cause: Unknown
National forest battalion chiefs will assess the burned area Tuesday afternoon to affirm how many acres were burned, the dispatcher said.
The blaze near Mount Laguna was reported about 12:30 p.m. Saturday. Hundreds of firefighters battled the fire over the weekend and into Monday, U.S. Forest Service spokeswoman Wende Cornelius said.
It was dubbed the "Gun fire" because it started near a gun club called the Green Head Club on Old Highway 80, she said. Fire threatened nearby structures for a time, but none were damaged.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Author/Book Spotlight: Ms. Bixby's Last Day
About the Book: Everyone knows there are different kinds of teachers. The good ones. The not-so-good ones. The boring ones, the mean ones, the ones who try too hard. The ones you'll never remember, and the ones you want to forget. But Ms. Bixby is none of these. She's the sort of teacher who makes you feel like the indignity of school is worthwhile. Who makes the idea of growing up less terrifying. Who you never want to disappoint. What Ms. Bixby is, is one of a kind.
Topher, Brand, and Steve know this better than anyone. And so when Ms. Bixby unexpectedly announces that she is very sick and won't be able to finish the school year, they come up with a plan. Through the three very different stories they tell, we begin to understand just what Ms. Bixby means to Topher, Brand, and Steve—and what they are willing to go to such great lengths to tell her.

My name is Ella Johnson. I started Mymcbooks to promote reading. As a former teacher, I know that making basic education fundamentals interesting to children can be challenging. Education can be fun, exciting and captivating for children with the right learning tools. So my goal is to "make learning interesting and fun" for the children while they learn, by introducing them to fun books with colorful and captivating illustrations.
In 2009, I start the giveaway program giving away free school supplies at random to 2 winners each year. I also started a monthly free giveaways for books and gifts.
August 2010, I extended the free school supplies from 2 to 5 winners at random on my blog and also give away 20 bags full of school supplies to familes in need at Chick-fil-A in Brandon, Florida during their family nights. And in 2012, I beat my that number and gave away a lot of school supplies to needy families. Hopefully, I can continue to do this each year.
In 2011, I started writing reviews on children's books then giving these books away free on Mymcbooks Blog. I increase the number of books we giveaway free to help support parent. My goal is to give away as many as I can each year. This is also a great way to introduce parents to new books.
Mymcbooks blog is always looking for other ways to give kids free books. So I started Mymcbooks Birthday Library http://mymcbooksbirthdaylibrary.wordpress.com/
My goal is to giveaway at least 300 books to children each year.
Books Given in 2011: 315
Books Given in 2012: 380

Podcasts and mashupsI want to start a podcast made up exclusively of mashups.
Now, for those of you who don't know, a podcast is like a radio show...but for people who don't have any friends. And a mashup is when you take two songs that completely suck and then combine them into one song that's brilliant.
I've been working hard on creating my own mashups lately. My latest is a combination of Christina (or, as I like to call her, Xtina) Aguilera's "Genie in a Bottle" with Cisqo's "The Thong Song." I call it "Genie in a Thong" and it is outrageously genius. It sounds like Rachmaninoff. That's a classical composer. I've never heard him before I read about him. That's how good my ears are, I can just read about someone and know what they sound like.
I've also worked up a mashup that combines Kelly Clarkson's "Since You Been Gone" with the moans of a dying pelican. It's a political statement. Blowing in the Wind 2007, if you will. This song moves people. Last time I played it, at least two South American governments were overthrown.

A Short Guide to
DVI Cables and DVI Connectors
Are you Confused by the Different DVI Interconnects?
Despite that in the home theater the digital video interface was soon superseded by HDMI, yet it is still very much around. The problem for many is that the different types of DVI cables and connectors often represent nothing more but an incomprehensible interconnected mess.
Help is on the way! This short guide explains all there is the need to know about DVI interconnects.
Buy Quality DVI Interconnects
from amazon.com
DVI: An Introduction
The Digital Visual Interface, or DVI, was originally developed by the DDWG (Digital Display Working Group) in 1999.
It brought with it a number of different DVI cables and connectors to support the various signals that can be carried over a DVI interconnect.
However, it did not take long before this whole new mess of interconnects complicated itself even further. Soon, we saw the advent of a new digital interface that is closely related to DVI, the High Definition Multimedia Interface — or HDMI — and with it a whole new range of HDMI interconnects, HDMI to DVI cables, HDMI splitters, adaptors and HDMI connectors.
DVD players, digital cable and satellite set-top boxes, HDTVs, and home theater projectors, all represent prime targets for these digital connections. The new technology behind these connectors allows for direct digital connection between a digital source and the display device leaving you with pixel-for-pixel accurate images on your display. And though HDMI has become the de-facto standard in the high-definition video, DVI is still a very popular interface. By 2008, there were more than 100 million DVI-enabled devices around; and according to In-Stat.com, a marketing intelligence research group, shipment of DVI-enabled devices continued to increase till end-2011, following which shipments started declining by 9.4%; this annual decline rate is expected to continue till 2015.
This means that despite the dominant presence of HDMI, DVI-enabled devices are still very much present in both the home and the industry; coming across some DVI-enabled device is a reality that will remain with us for the years to come.
Digital Visual Interface Basics
The DVI connector can accommodate up to two TMDS (transition minimized differential signaling) links, the VESA Display Data Channel (DDC), the Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) services, as well as the red, green, blue and horizontal and vertical sync lines of an RGBHV analog video signal; the latter is included to safeguard backward compatibility with analog VESA video.
The use of TMDS means that DVI is fully compatible with both P&D and DFP (Digital Flat Panel) standards, and HDMI.
Each link in the DVI standard is made up of 3 data channels for RGB information and has a maximum bandwidth of 165MHz; this equates to 165 million pixels per second. Color support is up to 24-bit depth, with 8 bits per color. Each incoming 8-bit color data word is encoded by the DVI standard into a 10-bit transition minimized DC-balanced character, meaning that each pixel is represented by a total of 30-bits. This means that effective data throughput over a single link DVI cable is 4.95Gbps while in the case of dual link DVI, maximum data throughput is 9.9Gbps.
The only real major limitation of the DVI standard is the supported maximum cable length; this can be a serious hurdle to overcome in a dedicated home theater setup when connecting a DVI source with say a ceiling-mounted video projector.
This limitation arises out of the use of twisted-pair cable by the DVI standard instead of coaxial cable to carry high bit-rate digital video, without employing any form of error correction. This can lead to severe problems with signal degradation over distance. At long cable lengths, cable quality becomes a critical factor that will affect the maximum supported bit-rate, and therefore signal resolution.
The specified standard limit for maximum DVI cable length is 5 meters. However, the actual maximum cable length depends on cable quality and signal bit-rate; some manufactures claim that their high quality cables can run up to 50 feet (just over 15 meters) at maximum bit-rate without loss of signal. However such claims have no value without the appropriate manufacture guarantee. Our advice when buying DVI cables is to...
Ensure that the respective cable has been tested at up to the maximum bit-rate supported by the DVI standard over the specified cable length without errors.
The 165Mhz maximum bandwidth per link on a DVI cable means that full resolution 60Hz 1920x1080 HDTV is well within the available bandwidth on a DVI single-link interface. The use of dual-link DVI effectively doubles the power of transmission and provides an increase in speed and signal quality. At the same time, this necessitates the use of additional twisted pairs in a DVI cable, and therefore additional pins on the DVI connector to handle the second link.
Worth taking note here that as matters stand today, there are very few devices on the market that use the dual-link interface. Going for a dual-link DVI cable won't hurt anything, but in most cases, it won't help either, unless it is implemented in both the source equipment and the display device.
Article continues after this advertisement.
Exploring the Different DVI Connectors
The DVI connector is a 37.0 mm wide connector. The DVI specifications refer to two different types of DVI cable connectors depending on the type of signal you need to carry:
DVI-Digital (DVI-D) supports digital displays only.
DVI-Integrated (DVI-I) supports both digital and analog displays.
In addition to the above, it is also possible to find the analog-only DVI; this is often referred to as DVI-A.
The DVI standard specifies a DVI connector based on a 24-pin layout; however only 12 are implemented in a single link DVI interconnect. Furthermore, the implementation of analog support in a DVI cable leads to an extra four pins plus a ground plane on the DVI-I connector to accommodate the red, green, blue and horizontal sync (R,G,B and H) lines of an RGBHV analog video signal (the vertical sync lies on another pin).
The table below depicts the five main DVI connector configurations in common use today.
DVI Connector Guide
DVI-I Single Link
[analog and digital]
Three rows of 6 pins and two contacts above and below the flat blade.
DVI-I Dual Link
[analog and digital]
Three rows of 8 pins and two contacts above and below the flat blade.
DVI-D Single Link
[digital only]
Three rows of 6 pins and no contacts above or below the flat blade.
DVI-D Dual Link
[digital only]
Three rows of 8 pins and no contacts above or below the flat blade.
[analog only]
One row of 5 pins, one row of 3 pins and one row of 4 pins with two contacts above and below the flat blade.
It is not possible to go from a digital signal to an analog signal i.e. from a DVI-D source to a DVI-A display connection or vice-versa.
How to Determine the Type of DVI Cable to Use?
As indicated above, the DVI connector can take various forms. But the fact that it makes use of the same TMDS used in P&D, DFP, and HDMI standards, as well as its backward compatibility with analog VESA video, has led to the development of numerous different types of DVI cables to cater not only for DVI to DVI connections, but also for DVI to analog flat panel monitors and CRTs, DVI to DFP displays, and also DVI to HDMI. Hence, great care should be taken when selecting DVI cables if you want to get the right product the first time.
The first step is to carefully examine the connection points on your source and display device to identify the type of female DVI plugs installed on your gear and therefore, the signals they are compatible with.
Also, consult your manuals before investing in a DVI cable. Most manufacturers make the female plugs on their gear with all available pins, meaning that most female DVI plugs installed on home theater equipment look like dual link DVI-I. But this does not necessarily imply that all pins are actually implemented.
When selecting your cables, it is important to take note of the following:
If you have DVI-D, you can use either a DVI-D or DVI-I cable, provided the female plug on your gear can take the extra pins on the DVI-I male connector.
If you have DVI-A, you can use either a DVI-A or DVI-I cable; this applies as long as the female plug on your gear can take the extra pins on the DVI-I male connector on the DVI cable.
If you have plugs that are DVI-I, they will accept any type of DVI cable.
If you have mismatched plugs, such as DVI-D and DVI-I or DVI-A and DVI-I, you may use either a DVI-I cable or the cable that matches the other plug. For example, you may use a DVI-D cable on a DVI-I to DVI-D connection, but you cannot use a DVI-A cable since you cannot match a DVI-D connection with DVI-A only connection. It is just not possible to go from a digital signal to an analog signal.
How to Identify a DVI Cable
A most important thing when selecting your DVI connector is analog support; look at the receptacles on your devices to determine if they can take the four pins around the flat blade on the DVI connector.
A flat blade alone denotes a DVI-D connection.
If there are two holes above and two holes below the flat blade, then it is either a DVI-I or a DVI-A. In other words, you would then need to determine whether both the digital and the analog modes are enabled on your DVI port -- check your user's manual.
The pin-sets will vary depending on whether the DVI cable is single or dual-link. A 24-pin connector using 3 rows of 8-pins each stands for a dual-link cable, while three rows of 6-pins each represent a single-link cable. However, the exact pins implemented depend on whether it is a DVI-I single link or a DVI-A; to distinguish between DVI-I and DVI-A, check the pin-sets: a full 24-pin set is for a DVI-l while a separated 8-pin and 4-pin set is for DVI-A.
For the exact pin-out details, check our DVI Connection Chart above.

Today's book is called "Hekkoki Anesa Ga Yome Ni Kite."
In English, "The Farting Bride."
It was very difficult for me to read because it was written in dialect.
A bride comes to live with a man and his mother. She farts big powerful blasts and sets ships asail and blows persimmons off trees. How useful!
This is a folktale. I can just imagine in days past, the family telling this folktale, totally embarrassing the wife of the house. Of course, it's the wife who farts in this story…not the man or the mother. It gives you a hint as to how young brides were treated in their new homes.
Other stories about brides are plentiful. There is the yokai (demon) who is a bride but actually a monster with a mouth in her hair who secretly eats food.
There are proverbs, such as "Don't let a bride eat eggplants in autumn."
This is a version of the farting bride:
I suppose in the west we have all the evil stepmother stories. So in Japan they have the totally annoying bride stories. Not so nice, is it!!!! One feels sorry for all the young women who left their homes to live with their new husband (usually through an arranged marriage) and his parents. Her main duties were to make babies and work hard for the benefit of her new family. And then she had to listen to stories like these!!!!! 😦

Week 575 – Sunday,2008-08-31: Boeng Kak Lake: The Prime Minister's Recommendations – Urgent Human and Environmental Concerns
The Mirror, Vol. 12, No. 575
Mirrors have limits and cannot show everything. This Mirror of the Khmer press is similarly constrained because the press itself does not report everything, and we must select. We try to cope with these limitations by selecting a wide variety of items over time; combining the depth of translated articles with the overview of translated headlines; adding explanations and information in [square brackets] and underlined links to additional material available on the Internet; and recollecting past information that is relevant to present events.
This week's current events demand to recall concerns and recommendations from the recent past.
Last Friday, we carried the translation of a long article "Those Who Live at Boeng Kak Lake Go to Give Their Thumbprints to Get Money and New Housing."
This article said that "500 families had agreed… to take the money offered, because they want to run their businesses and live in the new places with a good environment, and they do not want to live above the sewage at the lake which affects their heath." – But the article does not say that all together 4,000 families are affected.
"All the citizens said that they want to see the company develop the Boeng Kak region soon, requesting that the company has to act very quickly and make good development, so that the area is not left unused or sold to another company." – But while those who have to go are said to wish the company all the best, neither the name of the company, and nothing about the fact that the public has not seen any overall plan, is mentioned.
"Most of the citizens agreed to take US$8,000 and Riel 2 million, because they want to choose a new location by themselves where it is easy to run their everyday living businesses." – Most of the 500 families out of 4,000, that is – moving to Chaom Chau, beyond the airport, to the outskirts of Phnom Penh 15 km away from close to the center of the city, where they are now.
"As for the development of the Boeng Kak region, it is seen that the company has started to pump sand into the lake, gradually, since 26 August 2008."
Already in March 2007, Samleng Yuvachun Khmer had reported that there might be conflicts over the development of the Boeng Kak area. At that time, it was reported that the Phnom Penh municipality told the residents that there would be development 'in place,' meaning that, as part of the development project, people would be assisted to have new housing in the same area. Some details were reported:
"At present, the Boeng Kak area covers 133 hectares, which a company leased from the government at the price of $0.60 per square meter for every year according to the 99-year contract. The company has to pay roughly US$79 million for the lease of this area. Currently, there are 4,012 families living in this area, and the people have come to live in this area since the 1980s or 1990s. In an interview with people living in this area, most of them supported the project of development in place; that is, that they are not relocated to the outskirts during the construction.
The people of the Boeng Kak area are still afraid that the development project will probably affect their residences. Even though the Phnom Penh municipality authorities assured them about the development, the people are still concerned, and do not trust the Phnom Penh municipal authorities and the governor Kep Chutema, because the authorities have not considered the people's interests as important."
Now, it seems that the concept of development "in place" has been abandoned.
In January 2008, an article in Khmer Machas Srok highlighted concerns also about the environmental impact and the secretive method of concluding the contract:
"Shukaku Inc., has been preparing to connect a pipe to dredge sand from the Tonle Sap River opposite the Royal Palace to fill Boeng Kak Lake…
Before allowing Shukaku Inc. to dredge sand from the river to fill 133 hectares of Boeng Kak Lake, the Ministry of Meteorology and Water Resources, … the Ministry of Environment,… as well as other relevant institutions must join together to study carefully the impact on the environment, if this company dredges sand to fill Boeng Kak Lake, leaving only 10 hectares of the lake's surface, in order to guard from damages…
[The newspaper] called the signing of the contract to grant the concession of Boeng Kak Lake to Shukaku Inc. seriously corrupt, involving senior officials in the government and in the Cambodian People's Party, who do not think about the public interest and the impact on the environment. This huge development plan was not publicly announced so that other private companies could have participated in the bidding for the development of the Boeng Kak Lake area…
Shukaku Inc. belongs to Yeay Phou ['Grandmother Phou,' Mrs. Chheung Sopheap, the director of the Pheapimex company] and her husband Mr. Lao Meng Khin, who advises Prime Minister Hun Sen on international affairs,.. asking for an investment license in the Boeng Kak Lake area,… with a lease contract for 99 years at a price of more than $70 million. This price of the lease is considered by economists to be very cheap; moreover, the contract was signed quietly and secretly between the Council of Ministers, the Municipality, and Shukaku Inc."
Later in January 2008, Areyathor reported that Samdech Heng Samrin, the President of the National Assembly – and also a Honorary President of the Cambodian People's Party – had signed a letter for the suspension of pumping of soil to fill Boeng Kak lake, and the paper reported also that the Phnom Penh governor and vice-governor allegedly disagree with each other about filling Boeng Kak lake.
It is noteworthy that even the severe warnings of Prime Minister Hun Sen seem to have been completely disregarded in this matter. The Mirror had asked already in March 2007: "Do Phnom Penh City Plans Ignore the Prime Minister's Recommendations?" We repeat the words of the Prime Minster below – the "11-Point Recommendations for the Environment: Over-Exploitation of Natural Resources Caused by Business Activities Will Result in the Loss of Natural Opportunities."
On 20.2.2007, The Mirror "reported the Prime Minister's Eleven Point Recommendations for the environment and the concern that over-exploitation of natural resources caused by business activities will result in the loss of natural opportunities and protections. There are serious warnings about the long term negative consequences for the future of the country, if short term benefits are pursued recklessly, without the serious concern for the future. One cannot but wonder why these concerns are not reflected at all in the plans forcefully pushed ahead by the Phnom Penh municipal administration for the Boeng Kak area.
The Prime Minister makes it clear that utmost care is necessary when it comes to considerations about the natural environment, calling that strategies and action plans need to be revised every three years. Human insight into the delicate natural balance of environmental factors is still fairly new, and therefore plans need to be regularly adjusted in order not to miss some important points…
The Prime Minister stressed that it is difficult to protect endangered natural resources. Many voices have been reported which warn of severe flooding for the city of Phnom Penh if important reservoirs which provide temporary basins for excessive rain water – such as the Boeng Kak Lake – are filled in to a large extent. Who will be held responsible – and who will pay the enormous costs of flooding – when the warnings come true? The Prime Minister has emphasized that offenders must be held fully responsible for the consequences of their actions. How will this be realized, once the plans are implemented and if they have strong negative consequences?
The Prime Minister also stressed that successful and effective control of natural resources can best be achieved when the affected local people participate in the implementation of related programs. Until now, only rough ideas about the future have been shared with the public, and inquiries by the media about details have not resulted in much clarification, because the officials in charge 'are too busy to talk to reporters.' None of the press reports we are aware of mention anything about the most important recommendation of the Prime Minister: that in the case of environmentally sensitive developments, the Ministry of Environment should work with officials at all levels to create community statutes which make sure that the benefits from development based on the use of nature should be shared equitably.
The Prime Minister added that the possible impacts have to be assessed by the Ministry of Environment, and that such assessment has to be carried out transparently… It is obvious that the requirement that the assessments be transparent – especially to the people living in the area and being affected – has been disregarded.
Finally, it is astonishing that such far-reaching plans are being pursued without an open publicly announced bidding process. It is astounding that a hardly known company, which is identified in some media as Japanese and in others as Korean, got a 99-year lease agreement which will have fundamental consequences for the capital city of Cambodia for the next century – without broad public debate. One can only hope that the profound concerns expressed by the Prime Minister will be heeded before too much damage has been done."
The Prime Minister's recommendations from early last year urgently need to be fulfilled. Because the pumping of sand – the beginning of probably irreversible damage – has now started.Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( 8 so far )

- Drivers:

- Circuits:
- Bahrain International Circuit
Renault extended their winning run at the start of the season to three in the heat of Bahrain, with Fernando Alonso grabbing a second win to jump to the top of the the World Championship table. With it he secured Renault's 20th win in its history.
The Spaniard started from pole position and led to turn one with Michael Schumacher chopping across the front of Jarno Trulli's Toyota to take second in his Ferrari. The Ferrari got within a second of the leader, Alonso never being able to stretch the gap before the first round of pit stops.
For Ferrari, this was a crucial race. The team started the season with an updated 2004 car but this race marked the debut of the 2005 car. It was bang on the money and Schumacher was a real threat for a win until the car's hydraulics failed.
That promoted Trulli back to second with Kimi Raikkonen taking third for McLaren. Ralf Schumacher added to the upbeat mood for Toyota by taking fourth while Pedro de la Rosa was fifth in the second McLaren. The Spaniard, standing in for Juan Pablo Montoya who had injured himself playing tennis (he said....) also took the race's fastest lap, the first of his F1 career.
To help Peter Sauber's eponymous team celebrate its 200th Grand Prix, the promising Felipe Massa took two points in seventh place.

Hardcover, dustjacket, 16x24 cm, 504 pages, several photos and maps, English
Like new.
Conflicting Missions is a compelling and dramatic account of Cuban policy in Africa and of its escalating clash with US policy and later its direct military clashes with the South African Defence Force in Angola. Gleijeses' narrative gallops from Cuba's first hesitant steps in rendering assistance to Algerian rebels fighting France in 1961, to the war in the Congo in 1964-65, when 100 Cubans led by Che Guevara, acting in support of the Simba rebels, were confronted by white mercenaries from South Africa, Rhodesia, Britain and elsewhere, supported and controlled by America's Central Intelligence Agency.
Gleijeses writes about the dramatic despatch to Angola of Cuban troops to aid the communist-inclined rebel MPLA movement in 1975. And how, being the rainy season, their destruction of the major river bridges in Angola's north contributed to halting the rapid and victorious advance of the seemingly unstoppable Battle Group Zulu of South Africa's SADF. The blocking of Battle Group Zulu from reaching Luanda led to political decisions by the US Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, to call off the CIA's IAFEATURE operations in support of UNITA and the FNLA and to South African Prime Minister John Vorster withdrawing all South African forces from Angola.
This left the MPLA and its Cuban and other communist allies in control. This was undoubtedly the most significant domino that would soon lead to the fall of white Rhodesia and ultimately to the handover of Namibia to SWAPO and finally to black rule in the Republic South Africa. Piero Gleijeses analysis is clear, rigorous and balanced; the archival research supporting it is unprecedented. Not only is he the first historian to have gained access to closed Cuban archives, he also worked extensively in the archives of the United States, Belgium, Great Britain and East and West Germany.

Many medical professionals have a dream. They want to open up their own practice. Years of study are finally paying off. When the person has enough medical experience and has the finances they need to make it work, opening up a new practice can be a dream come true. However, many different skills are required to begin such a practice. The medical professional must be fully prepared to understand what is required of them before they begin. This includes finding the right office space, hiring staffers to assist in seeing patients and getting the word out about a new practice. It also includes knowing how to engage in specifics such as keeping accurate medical records and being able to make sure all the medical equipment and other supplies in the office are always in good working order.
Locating Space
Locating medical office space for rent can take some time. Many doctors have a specific location in mind before they begin. They may want to stay in a given area for many reasons. The area may be close to other medical professionals. It may also be close to a major medical facility that offers vitally important services. Many doctors also want to be near an area that has good transportation options so their patients can get to their practice more easily. In a suburban area, ample parking is a huge advantage. In a more urban location, an office within close walking distance to a major subway line and bus routes is also helpful.
Hiring People
After finding the right office space. many people realize they need to hire staffers. A medical practice may need many kinds of employees. This may include a physical therapist to help patients with mobility issues. It may also include other highly trained people such as pediatric nurses who know how to help children with medical procedures. Each staff member should work together in harmony provide the best possible level of patient care. Each staff member should also work together to make sure that all necessary services are provided to anyone who visits the office. The right staffers who are devoted to their craft can draw in a long list of devoted patients who are happy to use this medical practice as their first choice for medical providers.
A Successful Practice
When everything is set up right from the very first, a medical practice will tend to do well. Patients who are greeted by a clean and tidy office with cheery staffers are pleased to realize they are in the hands of professionals devoted to their wellbeing. A good location is one that will help make it easy for any medical professional to begin their practice well from the very day they open. A location that is convenient, spacious, has enough storage space and spaces to welcome patients and all staffers is one that any medical professional can use happily. Each medical professional should find the right space for them.

Quote of the Day - I would be content if I had nothing but a tape-recorder. I could still write songs and record them.
Push Zero If You Want To Secretly Tape Telephone Conversations With Californians
"Please note this conversation will be recorded to ensure quality service" is still OK, but not secretly tape recording telephone conversations with residents of California without our consent. It doesn't matter if your state or country has laws that allow one-sided taping, California doesn't and we intend to enforce our laws, according to a recent California Supreme Court ruling. While exercising stock options with her company's broker Solomon Smith Barney in Atlanta, Georgia, Californian Kelly Kearney's telephone conversations were taped without her permission.
She filed a class action suite for violation of her and other Calfornian's privacy rights, and won. But in winning, she lost.
The ruling came without a retroactive remedy. The Court did not award any damages. Instead, the Court applied its rule only prospectively by allowing an injunction to issue since the parties involved (and the rest of us) were unclear which state's laws prevailed in the event of a conflict. In Georgia, Solomon Smith Barney can tape telephone conversations without the other party's permission. Here on the left coast, you can't. But what happens when Georgia calls California and wants to tape the conversation?
Well, for one thing, Georgia can tape her side of the conversation, but not California's side. That's still true after this ruling, but the kicker now takes away Georgia's ability to tape California's side of the conversation, too.
For lawyers, the most interesting part of this decision is not the outcome, but the remedy. The Supremes put a stop to secret taping, one of the remedies sought by the Plaintiffs. So, on one hand, the Plaintiffs won. The Supremes, however, likewise put a stop to the Plaintiffs and their lawyers because they barred the recovery of monetary damages. As you likely know, for plaintiff's lawyers, class actions are about recovering damages. Especially when the case, as this one likely was, is "on contingency" in terms of how the lawyers get paid. So, on the other hand, the Plaintiffs and their lawyers lost.
You can be sure the rest of this case will die a quick death because nobody's being paid.

A Little About Sheilah
Sheilah opened her private practice in 2005 and works with patients at her office in South of Market (SoMa), San Francisco. She considers herself lucky to work with a diverse group of conditions (and people) and feels grateful for how much she learns from her patients and teachers.

Sheilah is currently furthering her studies through Continued Education in women's health (particularly pregnancy) as well as learning more about how acupuncture can provide adjunctive support for people undergoing Western treatment for cancer or who have had cancer previously.
She considers you the main agent of change in your health and well-being, but feels honored to be able to help where she can by providing judgement-free, nurturing support through acupuncture and other forms of Chinese Medicine.

This boy is somewhat rude. I have a problem with that. I also have a problem with Nathaniel hanging out with someone that displays rude behavior. Mind you, I know boys will be boys, and some of the actions go with age, but I still don't appreciate it. Caleb really looks up to his older brother, and he wants to do everything he does. He wants to be where he is, and play with him and his friends. Last night at the dinner table, Caleb was saying (Nathaniel's friend's name) over and over. Well, "C" refused to answer him, and he outright ignored him. Over and over he ignored him. Terry finally said, "Hey "C", I have noticed that you ignore Caleb when he is talking to you, please don't do that." Then, "C" said, "OK."
Well, this morning, as I was getting breakfast going, Caleb was trying to get "C's" attention again...over and over he said his name. Finally, I snapped. I said, "C" will you stop ignoring him? It is really rude!" Then, a bit later, I confronted Nathaniel about it. I told him that Caleb really just wants to fit in, and be apart of the group. I said it is rude for his friend to ignore his brother, and he really should say something when he sees him doing that. I said that I will try to keep Caleb occupied, for the most part, because I know they need their time together, too. He agreed.
I am not so sure I look forward to all the "kinds" of friends my children may bring home.

I don't know whay some kids act that way! Another thing I just love is when my girls were younger ,it doesn't happen with them now but they each had a couple friends that were always saying well we don't do this at house or we do this at my house or my mom lets me do that or whatever.After hearing that for a few hours and having your child question you on why or why not can they say or do things because this girl gets to or doesn't have to. Makes you want to say well then go home if you don't like the rules at my house!

Oh, how fun. We've had some pretty rude friends of the kids' too. One group of Cody's friends opened his second story window and started throwing things out. Things like pillows, blankets and even a radio. Just because. No, they have not been asked back.

The way kids treat younger children is truly a sign of the way they'll be when they're older. So sad for your little one to be treated that way. :(

Curb Appeal Tips from Jennifer Gere your #1 Berkshire Hatahaway HomeServices Real Estate Agent for Monmouth County. Let me start today with it's really an honor to be a part of Berkshire Hatahaway HomeServices NJ Properties, when I watch HGTV I reminded constantly by the Berkshire Hatahaway HomeServices what a difference we are about to make in the Real Estate world!
I dug up another article from Curb Appeal month which was in August because there were just so many great stories out there that drove home the point of "to sell your home quickly and for market value it's not just about what's inside that matters!
The outside is what potential buyers see first and as a Berkshire Hatahaway HomeServices Listing Agent it is my job to help guide Sellers and set realistic expectations for my customers. Sellers my not have the budget to invest in Curb Appeal when they are selling and I have to show them the effects of poor Curb Appeal, how long homes with less Curb Appeal stay on the market, how many less showings that house has had. As your #1 Berkshire Hatahaway HomeServices Real Estate Agent for Monmouth County I keep a log of all showings and inquiries. Inquiries should match showings (number of lock box openings) but when they don't you know something is wrong, potential buyers have driven by the home and frankly were not interested enough to even go inside.
Enough with that please check this stories out http://www.nwitimes.com/lifestyles/home-and-garden/celebrate-national-curb-appeal-month-and-transform-the-look-of/article_e9be93e2-9a02-52f5-9cf6-96708b0abd5d.html
Whether it's pride of ownership or fitting in with the neighborhood, the exterior of your home reflects your personality and can create positive impressions. Plus, when it comes time to sell, curb appeal has been proven to make or break that "instant connection" with buyers.
That's precisely why the importance of curb appeal should never be underrated when you own a home.
August is National Curb Appeal Month dedicated to helping homeowners focus on ways to add value and design appeal to their home's exterior.
"Real estate agents tell us that potential home buyers make a 'street decision' in less than 12 seconds on whether or not to view a home that's for sale," Niki Decker, senior manager of product and marketing for Fypon, creator of National Curb Appeal Month.

The Leathem Diaspora
Notes of the emigration of Leathem/am/an/en/es/om/im Families around the world:
The name, whatever the spelling, was originally from the United Kingdom. It is not common when compared with other surnames in number. However, clusters of Leathem families appear across the map of Great Britain and Ireland. Larger numbers are located in Lancashire and North Yorkshire and further north in Lanarkshire in the Scottish Lowlands. If you have a detailed map of Great Britain and Ireland, you can find a "Upleatham" in Northern England and a "Leathemstown" to the East of Lough Neagh in the Belfast Hills of Northern Ireland.
Four hundred years ago, James I of England, who had previously been crowned James VI of Scotland, undertook what was one of the earlier examples of "social engineering" in his efforts to control the rebellious Irish. Inducements were offered to resettle Scots and English loyal to the crown onto lands seized in Ireland. Estimates of 100,000 Scots, lesser numbers of English and later some French Huguenots immigrated in the period between 1610 and 1717. No doubt, the migration to the Ulster Plantation initiated by King James I transplanted Leathems in Ireland. These were mostly adherents to the Presbyterian and Anglican traditions. However, Leathems are also found in the records of the Roman Catholic community. The greatest concentrations of Leathems were found in Counties Antrim, Down and Armagh in Ulster, NI. Others settled in what is now the Republic in Counties Donegal, Cavan and Monaghan. Many of them were tenant farmers, flax growers and linen weavers by trade. They played a part in the Industrial Revolution that was initiated in the textile industry in the British Isles during the eighteenth century.
Although many were to participate in the emigration during the 1800s to America and parts of what was then the British Empire, currently there are about seventy Leathem families in Northern Ireland. The greatest numbers of these were and are still found in the valley along the River Lagan and the Lagan Canal. To this day, the Northern Ireland phone directory contains numerous Leathem listings for Belfast, Lisburn, Lurgan, Waringstown and Downpatrick.
Although not common today, one of the earlier variant spellings of Leathem is Leathes. In the early history of the Ulster Plantation, numerous members of the Leathes-or Leathem-line played a role in the daily life of Belfast serving as sovereign (mayor) or a prominent burgess. On March 8, 1638, John Leathes became sovereign of Belfast. later, in the century that followed, a father, William Leathes, his son John and his grandson Robert were sovereigns of the town in succession. In 1699, according the the Ulster Journal of Arcaelogy, volume 4, 1856, page 270, Leathems were still ranked among the principal families of Belfast.
Leathems played a role in the settling of the New World. Leathems reached the United States by direct emigration or through Canada in the 18th and 19th centuries. Most of these came from Ireland with lesser numbers from Scotland and England. This was largely attributable to the economic, political and religious issues that disrupted Irish life at that time.
Along the way, the family name has been lent to things trivial and profound. There is a Leathem Cottage which may well be the oldest continuously occupied home in Belfast dating back to 1786. If you are a scientific type with a penchant for electromagnetism, check out Leathem's Phenomenon (1913). A self taught English artist, William John Leathem (1815-1857), who was born in London, painted the huge two by four meter canvas depicting the Battle of Trafalgar (1805) as seen above. He made his permanent home in Brighton in 1840 and the painting now resides in the Brighton Museum and Art Gallery. Cruising the web, you'll find athletes, teachers, scholars, lawyers and business people not to mention a few genealogists who bear the name.
Shortly after the Revolutionary War, there were Leathem families here in America in upstate New York, Pennsylvania, the Delmarva Peninsula, Virginia and the Carolinas. Today, the surname can be found in most states with larger numbers apparent in the Northeast Corridor, North Central Ohio, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Utah and California. An estimated 160 Leathem families are found in the United States: more if you allow for variant spellings. When you include the spelling "Leatham," the number doubles. This is particularly true in Idaho, Utah and nearby Western States where a large Mormon Community brought this spelling directly from Scotland. If you add the "Lathem" spelling, particularly in South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Texas you'll see a similar increase. Other variant spellings increase the total still further.
Our branch of the family has origins with James Leathem, a tenant farmer, in the early 1800s in County Antrim, Ireland. He lived in the townlands of Killyless and Loan in the Parishes of Craigs/Ahoghill just west of Cullybackey along the Main River. His son Samuel married Hannah Dodds in 1859. Years later they emigrated, piecemeal, through the ports of Larne and Cobh (Queenstown) and landed in New York City in the early 1880s. They moved up the Hudson River to the Albany/Troy area. As tenant farmers, they settled along the Brunswick Road near the Quackin Kill, a stream in Brunswick, NY. At the time, it was a small town just outside of Troy, with a population of about 3400. Later, like so many other families, some of their children resettled across the country. Within the next ten years, Samuel, Thomas and Joseph went out to Colorado to try their hands at being cowboys but none remained. After the turn of the century, Thomas moved to Bloomfield Connecticut where he continued to farm. About the same time his siblings Mary, Anna and Robert moved to the Los Angeles area. Four other brothers and sisters, Joseph, a.k.a. James, Catherine, Hannah and John remained in the greater Albany area.
With the help from others, additional notes and comment on the movements of Leathem families around the world will be added to this site. We are seeking to secure genealogies; images and histories on those Leathems and similar spellings that went to Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa in an effort to broaden the site content and would enjoy hearing from you.

Last Chance Moose Run.
There is one more day for people to earn a moose, aka the Grove Warden mount, and I thought it would be a fine idea if we could try and get some guildies theirs before it disappears. Therefore I have put up a Heroic Mannoroth/Archimonde raid for Monday August 29th at 2100.
For this to work we need as many people with experience of both fights as possible and for those people to come on a character that has the relevant gear level. This isn't a gear run for your alts therefore bring your main (or equally well played/geared alt). Depending on numbers of raider types that we have and the number of people needing the mount we may need to do more than one run. If you're interested in joining the fun please sign up on the in game calendar or online here.

Back on Omicron Persei 8, Ndnd was nagging Lrrr over his lack of ambition. Lrrr's attempt to conquer Earth failed, and after an argument that ended with a frying pan embedded in his head, Lrrr went to Planet Express to crash. Leela tried to convince the alien to go back and make up with his wife, but Lrrr chose to follow Bender out for drinks and debauchery. Lrrr's mid-life crisis gave the episode lots of opportunities to show the big, angry, bellowing alien conqueror in rather mundane situations. Those juxtapositions are a big part of what I enjoy about Lrrr's appearances on Futurama. Watching him on a date uncomfortably admit, "I just got part way out of a bad relationship," was one of those highlights.
Fry's idea of staging a War of the Worlds style news feed to convince Ndnd of Lrrr's success was another great part of the episode. Fry was even able to get the head of Orson Welles involved. (Bender: "Dork calling Orson.") The references to the famous radio play ("Grover's Mall") were fun, as was Orson Welles' general curmudgeonly demeanor throughout the production, something he was known for in his waning years. The fact that Lrrr had to continue the rouse for some time to keep Ndnd happy was an unexpected twist that kept the episode from having too simple of a happy ending.
All of this would have made for a perfectly enjoyable episode, but these weren't even the best parts. The true highlights of the episode came in the first act when the Planet Express crew visited Comic-Con 3010. If you've ever been to the annual event, Futurama's mini portrayal should have delighted you. This storyline involved Fry creating a comic book. Looking for a critique, he took the work to the con. This wasn't just some random con, though. Every aspect of it was clearly a reference to the actual Comic-Con in San Diego, from the architecture of the convention hall to the panel in Ballroom 20. What? No Hall H?
The bits at the con were all great. The centerpiece was "Matt Groening's Other Panel" where he and David X. Cohen unveiled their new series "Futurella." Fox canceled it before the opening titles ended. An appearance from famed Mad Magazine artist Sergio Aragones was also great. My favorite line, though, came from Bender after Amy complained about how crowded the place was: "Good thing everyone is freshly bathed and groomed." Like any good Comic-Con, they were not. "Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences" would have been a fine episode featuring our favorite residents of Omicron Persei 8 working out their often recurring relationship issues, but so perfectly focusing most of the first act on San Diego's Comic-Con raised the episode from good to great.

FOLLOW OHIO MEN'S GOLF: Facebook | Twitter
ATHENS, Ohio -- Men's golf head coach Bob Cooley will retire at the conclusion of the 2017-18 season, Ohio Athletics announced on Wednesday (Dec. 6).
"I will certainly miss coaching, getting to know student-athletes and seeing them mature and progress during their college careers," said Cooley. "I have enjoyed every facet of my 30 years of coaching a Division I golf program at Ohio."
Cooley has served as the program's head coach since 1988. He was promoted to Director of Golf in Sept. 2002, assuming administrative and coaching duties for both the men's and women's teams at Ohio.
"Bob has been legendary in representing Ohio men's golf over the years," said director of athletics Jim Schaus. "His passion for his alma mater and caring for student-athletes has been apparent to all. I appreciate his loyalty to our program and all that he has accomplished. I look forward to celebrating his final season and wishing him well in his retirement."
Cooley has guided his alma mater to nine top-five finishes at the Mid-American Conference Championships. The Bobcats have finished in the top three on four occasions -- including second-place finishes in 2002 and '04 and third-place finishes in 2012 and '17. Cooley was named MAC Coach of the Year following the 2001-02 campaign. The 12-best three-round team totals in program history have been achieved under his watch, and he has coached six golfers who have accounted for seven of the top-10 best season averages in program history.
"He was the kind of coach that any parent would want their son to play for," said Ohio's greatest golfer of all time, PGA champion and Ryder Cup player and captain Dow Finsterwald. "Win or lose, they came to understand that winning without personal integrity is not a victory."
Cooley recruited mentored two of the best golfers in Ohio's history in Erik Herberth and Peyton White. White solidified his place in Bobcat history as a senior in 2016-17. He departed Athens as the program's single-season scoring average record holder after averaging a 71.82 over 12 events and 34 rounds, breaking the previous record of 72.12 set by his high school coach Herberth, in 2001-02. He also became the first Bobcat to earn First Team All-MAC distinction since Herberth garnered honors in 2002. He was a Second Team All-MAC selection in both 2015 and '16. White totaled 16 career top-10 finishes over the last four years -- including six top-eight finishes and a pair of tournament victories in 2016-17. He earned medalist honors at both the 2017 Mission Inn Spring Spectacular (March 18-19 in Howey-In-The Hills Fla.) and the 2017 Rutherford Intercollegiate (April 15-16 in University Park, Pa.). He shot a 215 (72-70-73; -1) to win the Mission Inn Spring Spectacular, then fired a 209 (69-68-72; -4) to capture the Rutherford Intercollegiate. White represented Ohio in the 2017 NCAA Division I Men's Golf Championships West Lafayette Regional in May, qualifying as one of 45 individuals selected to compete in the six NCAA Regionals. He became the second Bobcat to qualify for NCAA Regional play as an at-large selection and first since 2002, when Herberth earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Central Regional in Little Rock, Ark. White finished in a tie for 15th place with a total score of 221 (+5) at the 2017 NCAA Championships West Lafayette Regional. He was named an NCAA Division I Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholar and also garnered both Academic All-MAC honors and MAC Distinguished Scholar Athlete recognition for the third year in a row.
In addition to White and Herberth, the following individuals have earned All-MAC honors under Cooley – Paul Grauer (Second Team, 2012), Chad Warmbein (Second Team, 2009), Mark Cimarolli (Second Team, 2006) and Ryan Siekmann (Second Team, 2005).
Cooley has raised more than $350,000 through his creation of the Bobcat Open, which serves as a fundraiser for the Ohio golf teams. His teams have always been near the top of graduation rates and academic proficiency in Ohio athletics.
Before assuming head coaching duties with the Ohio men, Cooley assisted former head coach Kermit Blosser, many times traveling with the team. While playing for the Bobcats, he was a member of two MAC championship teams.
"Well done. You have had a very distinguished career over the years and you should be very proud. I applaud you for that," said Slugger White, one of Cooley's former teammates at Ohio and current Vice President of Rules and Competition for the PGA Tour
Along with being familiar with Bobcat golf, Cooley is no stranger to the Athens area. He graduated from Athens High School in 1966 and enrolled at Ohio University to pursue a bachelor's degree in business administration.
After graduating in 1971, Cooley served as an assistant golf professional at Village Country Club in Uniontown, Ohio. His next endeavor took him to the Canadian professional tour in 1973, where he competed in nine tournaments. In 1977, Cooley was reinstated to the amateur ranks by the United States Golf Association. He played in the 1978 and 1980 U.S. Amateur Championships in Plainfield, N.J., and Pinehurst, N.C., respectively.
Cooley is married to former Nannette Borkowski of Westlake, Ohio, and the couple has a daughter, Brynn.
"I look forward to the opportunity to thank all of the players, their families, coaches, alumni, community members, donors and administrators who have made my time here at Ohio extremely special," said Cooley. "I have been and always will be a Bobcat for life."
A national search for Cooley's successor will begin in the spring.

Among various business processes that are practiced among people, the law firms are the most important ones. This is because they provide the required legal services to others and provides a better understanding about the do's and don'ts in the life of people. Thus, it helps them to enjoy their personal rights without affecting the others. However, even with such well-defined regulations accidents and the legal violations tend to occur. And with the improvement of the business interactions among people these legal issues have become quite common. In such cases, it becomes necessary for the affected victim to approach the constitutional bodies in order to get the desired justice. And such legal approaches comprise of various legal procedures. It is not possible for people to be familiar with all such legal practices, so the best way to handle such issues is to approach the personnel who provides legal advice in more a professionalized way. Such personnel are commonly referred to as the lawyers or the attorneys. And when such professional group together under the name of an organization to provide such legal services then such an organization is referred to as the law firms. And such organizations are commonly available in various places, thus utah-lawyer is among such organization that provides various legal services to people in various regions of Utah.
Lawyers and their services!
As mentioned earlier lawyers are the experienced personnel helping people with their legal issues. One could find a large number of law firms throughout various locations. But not all such organizations provide the required services to people. This is because these law firms greatly differ based on the type of services provided by the organization. Some would deal with family related issues while some would deal with accidents and their related claims. Some are into handling the food poisoning issues, etc. So it is more important for anyone to select the suitable law firms that deal with the particular stream of legal issues. And it also becomes important to consider their quality of service which comprises of the years of experience of the personnel involved in providing the service and their success ratio in the previous cases. And the location of the organization and their cost of service is also an essential factor to be considered. In the recent times, many of the organizations have started taking payments after satisfying the clients with their favorable results. One of such organization is the uah-lawyer that provides such services in various Utah regions.

If God has brought you through or is currently bringing you through such a season in your life, the phrase resonates to the very depths of your soul.
Years of your life have been eaten by locusts.
Substantial devastation and loss have taken place in your life.
Sometimes as a result of:
- Consequences of your own sinful choices
- Sinful actions of others done against you
- Health or physical struggles
- Spiritual oppression
To which God gives an amazing promise of restoration:
I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten — the great locust and the young locust, the other locusts and the locust swarm — my great army that I sent among you.
You will have plenty to eat, until you are full, and you will praise the name of the Lord your God, who has worked wonders for you; never again will my people be shamed.
Then you will know that I am in Israel, that I am the Lord your God, and that there is no other; never again will my people be shamed. – Joel 2:25-27
The how and when of His restoration in our lives is up to Him. This promise isn't like an insurance claim we wave before God and demand repayment of our own choosing. Rather, it is a promise of His own righteous restoration and redemption of the destruction and loss that has taken place in our lives.
It is a promise of hope in the devastation that once was a life of abundance.
In His promise, God makes a statement that resounds with His ultimate sovereignty, ". . . My great army that I sent among you." (Joel 2:25)
God allowed the locusts that have eaten years of our lives. He is the Blessed Controller of ALL things (1 Tim 6:15). No plan of His can be thwarted (Job 42:2). What He has said, that will He bring about; what He has planned, that He will do (Is 46:9-11).
Could God have prevented the locusts from eating years of our lives?
Absolutely, and yet He chose not to do so.
We would do well to join Job in his conclusion after trying to reason, argue, and demand to know the "whys" from God for his suffering in Job 42:1-5:
Then Job replied to the Lord: "I know that you can do all things; no plan of yours can be thwarted.
You asked, 'Who is this that obscures my counsel without knowledge?'
Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know."You said, 'Listen now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you shall answer me.'
My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you.
He is the Potter and we are the clay (Is 45:9). He is our Maker and Creator and He owes us nothing, and yet delights to give us everything (Rm 8:32).
In 2000, I developed Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. In my early 20's, it cost me my job, friends, ministry, and health. In 2003, I started having an intercessory prayer team pray over me. As these prayer sessions continued, it became evident that I was not only dealing with physical issues but also a large degree of spiritual oppression.
Before my prayer session in May 2006, I was walking and praying. As I was walking through a playground, I came across 7 folded one dollar bills. As I picked them up, I marveled at how they hadn't been taken or strewn across the playground and road by the wind. As I held them in my hand, I sensed Father said, "You've almost had chronic fatigue for 7 years. I will restore the years the locusts have eaten in your life."
At that time, I only vaguely knew the promise of Joel 2:25-27. Only after I looked it up, did Father start to connect this promise in Scripture with what He was about to do in my life.
Before Jesus would heal someone, He would ask a very interesting question, "What do you want me to do for you?" (Mt 20:32, Mk 10:36, Mk 10:51, Lk 18:41)
The curious nature of this question comes when we remember that Jesus was fully God and fully man during His time of walking the earth, thus He was all-knowing. He knew what they wanted Him to do for them . . . and yet, Jesus wanted them to say it, to believe it, and to own it for themselves.
So too it is with Father's promises, He wants us to say them, believe them, and own them for ourselves. And one of the hardest times to do that is after experiencing the years the locusts have eaten.
It's tough some mornings to get out of bed and be faced once again with the devastation, let alone believe a seemingly outlandish promise that God's going to redeem all this ravaging loss that has clung to your life like frost clings to grass.
Still, Jesus asks . . . and may we be like the father in Mark 9:24 who exclaims in reply, "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!"
I pray we believe Him to redeem the years the locusts have eaten in our lives. He will.
Rest Ministries is great resource for those who struggle with chronic illness or pain.
