Quest. 31: How did God create man?
Ans: God created man male and female, after his own image, in knowledge, righteousness and holiness, with dominion over the creatures.
Gen. 1:26. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Gen. 2:7. And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Gen. 5:1–2. 1This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; 2Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
See also: Gen. 1:1, 26–28; 2:18–25; 3:19; Psa. 8:6–8; Eccl. 7:29; 12:7; Acts 17:23–29; Rom. 2:14–15; 5:12; Eph. 4:22–24; Col. 3:9–10; Jas. 3:8–9.
The Scriptures declare that God created the universe and everything in it, including man (Gen. 1:1; Acts 17:24; Rom. 1:19–20). The Scriptures are very careful to maintain this Creator–creature relation and distinction throughout from Genesis to Revelation. See Question 30.
Divine creation was a definitive act, i.e., God not only created everything out of nothing [ex nihilo]. He defined everything in this creation—gave it his meaning. Every fact in the universe is therefore a created fact with its own distinct God–given meaning and significance. There are no arbitrary or "brute" facts that exist or have meaning apart from God. For a person to truly know God, reality and truth, he must give the same meaning to everything that God has given to it—he must "think God's thoughts after him"— interpret everything in terms of God's Law–Word. This has been called a "revelational epistemology," i.e., holding Divine revelation [Scripture] as our source of truth and knowledge. [Epistemology, from the Gk. epistamai is the science of knowledge and truth–claims]. Because the source of truth and knowledge was and is external to man, he is necessarily a creature of faith. He is also a presuppositionalist by necessity, i.e., as the image–bearer of God man naturally and axiomatically interprets all facts by his presuppositions or assumptions [axioms, first–principles]. See Question 30.
Man was created in the image of God. Thus, the image of God is the essential and primary definition of man. This image of God is ontological, i.e., it expresses the essence of man's being. It is being the image–bearer of God that makes man a rational, morally–responsible, self–determining being. When man sinned and fell, the image of God was not destroyed; he did not become an animal. The image of God was distorted, but not erased. His intellectual, spiritual and moral nature, devastated in the Fall, is restored in principle at regeneration (Jn. 3:3; Eph. 4:22–24; Col. 3:9–10). See Questions 83, 94 and 95. The very fact that man is now a sinner, and in need of redemption, is a testimony to the retention of the image of God (Gen. 9:6; Acts 17:28–29; Jas. 3:9). Further, because redemption extends to man alone, and neither to brute beasts nor fallen angels, it is evident that God focuses the redemptive purpose on redeeming his image in man through Christ Jesus (Rom. 8:29; 2 Cor. 3:17–18; 1 Jn. 3:1–3).
Because man is the image–bearer of God, God instilled within him the principles of law, morality, logic, mathematics and the ability of speech or communication on both the vertical [Divine–human] and horizontal [human– human] planes. Such are necessary for man as a rational being in God's ordered universe and also for the fulfillment of the Cultural Mandate (Gen. 1:26–28).
God created man as both male and female. Thus, the individual, either male or female, is incomplete in and of himself or herself. Society becomes fragmented when the basic element is the individual rather than the married couple and the family. Marriage is the natural and normal state for mankind. Marriage and family are necessities for the fulfillment of the Cultural Mandate. It is primarily in the context of the family and the church that the truth of God is to be both retained and promulgated to future generations. See Question 52.
Man cannot be considered as the Divine image–bearer apart from his calling to multiply, subdue the earth and have dominion over it—the Cultural Mandate (Gen. 1:26–28; Psa. 8). Spiritual responsibility, a biblical world– and–life view, a godly work ethic, and the God–ordained institutions of marriage, the family and the church necessarily characterize the truly godly man.
Because man was created and remains in essence the image–bearer of God, the believer's attitude toward others is to be one of understanding and compassion, viewing his fallen, sinful fellow human beings as objects of evangelism. Have we come to terms with our being created in God's image and its implications?
2/5/2018 12:39:07 am
It was God who created man and woman, that's a fact. But up to these days, there are still people who seem to doubt this idea for they all have their own ideas that they believe. Obviously, we are divided by our religious beliefs. I don't know if it's a good or bad thing, but we should always aim for unity above anything else. Though everything seems complicated and things are hard to believe, let us always choose what will maintain peace among us. That's not really a hard task, as we all know.

Neil Peart's drum tech Lorne Gump Wheaton has launched his revamped website at LorneWheaton.com. The redesign was first announced about a month ago, but it's taken a few weeks to work out all the kinks. The revamped site includes a sleek new design along with a ton of new photos, videos, Lorne's Edge Magazine interview and a cool bit of trivia about how Lorne got his Gump nickname:
There was a goaltender for the Montreal Canadians name Lorne "Gump" Worsley and since my name is Lorne, Geddy just started calling me , "Hey, Gump!"
Be sure to check out the site when you get a chance. You can also follow Lorne on Twitter at LorneGumpWheaton. Thanks to hermy and rosmakloma for the heads up, and Andy Olson for the screenshot.

Our innate characteristics cannot be underestimated in the context of our psychological development. The strength each of us possesses to overcome obstacles, and learn from them, is even more important than the adversities in our lives. So, instead of trying to protect our children from suffering, we should help them develop their inner potential, so they'll acquire the ability to withstand physical and mental pain.
It is, after all, impossible to keep a child from suffering from the death of a parent. What can be done is trying to help them develop at an early age the fortitude to deal with the pain of loss and with the burden of responsibilities, heavier than they should have at that age, and to marshal their inner energy to move forward in the best possible way, away from this traumatic, life-changing experience.
We say "the best possible way" because some developments are impossible to avoid. For instance, being saddled with heavy responsibilities so early can affect their whole history, making them less capable of enjoying life and overly concerned with the people who depend on them. There's not much to do except understanding that we are the result of how our brain responded to the adversities in our lives.
I believe some children are born with a higher tolerance to pain. Children who are not born with this characteristic tend to act out more, and lose control when they feel frustrated. It is our job to teach them how to develop tolerance, but it will be harder for them to learn, and will require more effort from the parent or educator. This is an innate ability, just like some children are born with a gift to play a musical instrument; while less talented children will need more lessons and hard work, the gifted child will be able to play the same song by ear.
But what matters, when it comes to the ability to deal with pain, is not accepting a short fuse as if it were irreversible. We must work hard to help children learn not to react angrily against the inevitable setbacks of life. I insist on this point, because it's essential that a child can learn to move past their natural selfishness and be considerate to other people—which frequently means frustration and renouncing some of their own wishes.
We differ from each other in almost all of our physical and mental aspects: be it in our degrees of intelligence, aggressive instincts, intensity of fears and the ability to deal with them or the strength of our sexual instincts. Physical vigor can be measured in health, muscular strength and even height. But only our physical appearance is subject to judgment that is specific to an era and a society.
Have you noticed how beauty, especially feminine, can determine, a person's fate? A pretty girl is treated with more reverence from a tender age. When parents go out with their children, they like to show her off as their "masterpiece." The girl understands it all, and from an early age, sees herself as someone special, a kind of a princess. They will figure out, by observing the world, that beauty is crucial, that it holds huge value and privilege. When puberty comes, she'll get all kinds of special treatment, and will feel all doors of the world are open to her.
She is, as it has been said, a "genetic celebrity," famous just for being born. She'll tend to get used to these privileges, and will not become disciplined nor work hard in intellectual or professional activities, which can harm her in the future.

My name is Fiona and I am 25 years old. I have struggled with my mental health for as long as I can remember. Today I live with anxiety disorders and recurring episodes of major depression. This week is the Canadian Mental Health Association's Mental Health Week and they are encouraging people to #GetLoud about what mental health really is.
This is my story.
As a child I was always one of those kids who was more sensitive than anyone else. I was generally a happy kid but I could be provoked to cry or throw hissy fits much more easily than others. Probably for that reason, I was also a huge target for bullying which inhibited me from developing a positive sense of self. I was often very low and felt misunderstood when I was young. No one quite knew how to handle my big emotions. For many years it was assumed that I was intentionally attention-seeking and over dramatic. My outbursts and moodiness must have seemed like I was just being difficult. When my emotions were beyond my control I would pretend to have a cold or the flu so that I could stay home from school, a habit I kept for many years. Because my mental health problems were not seen for what they were, I went a long time before finally getting any treatment for them.
As a pre-teen I began experiencing panic attacks. However at the time I assumed they were asthma attacks because they felt startlingly similar to the asthma attacks I had when I exercised. Whether panic or asthma, I experienced shortness of breath, a sense of losing control and dizziness, but the panic attacks were far worse. One of the first times I can remember having a panic attack was at an away camp during the summer. I was so confused when my inhaler wouldn't help me recover from what I assumed was an asthma attack. From then on I had panic attacks on an irregular basis, always assuming they were caused by my asthma until part way through high school.
In my teens I sought out romantic relationships as a means to feel better about myself. I thought that if guys could be interested in me than I must have some redeeming qualities. I had one relationship that turned toxic. The dynamic in the relationship was way off and it began to eat away at any sense of pride I had in myself. It's hard to leave a toxic relationship, because it's easy to tell yourself that you are getting what you deserve. When your self-esteem is low, it can feel like a blessing to have a boyfriend, even if they aren't treating you with kindness. So I presented the relationship as a good thing to everyone I knew, I hid my suffering and the pain I was enduring. For all that anyone could tell, I was as happy as ever. But this was really the time in my life when I first knew that my mental health was not where I wanted it to be.
I first went to see a psychologist before moving away for college. A lot of changes were happening in my life and my worsening moods were apparent to my family. My mom helped me find a psychologist and set up an appointment. I met with her a couple of times and it helped me gain some understanding of what I was going through. Through various assessments she was able to tell me that it seemed I struggled with mood disorders, specifically depression and anxiety. She helped me put some of the more troubling events of my life in perspective so that I was more at peace with them.
I moved away to college when I was 18. I was looking forward to this fresh start. However, when I moved away, my ex-boyfriend moved to the same school and lived in the same residence. It felt as though my past was following me everywhere. Not long into the school year I experienced my first suicidal episode. With the encouragement from a friend from back home I approached a couple of my new friends at school about what I was going through and they brought me to the hospital. After a few hours in the Emergency Department I was sent home with an appointment to meet with a psychiatrist at the hospital a couple of weeks later. In the weeks leading up to the appointment I began to self-injure for the first time. When I went in to see the psychiatrist at the hospital I was frank about my state of mind and behaviours, and he immediately admitted me to the inpatient mental health ward.
Being in a psych ward at 18 years old, far away from home, was terrifying. I wasn't prepared for feeling caged up with a worn-down nursing staff, very ill patients and a frankly power-hungry and vindictive doctor. I was in the psych ward for over two weeks and I can say without a doubt that was the worst time in my life. That experience taught me to fear mental health care, which is really too bad because now years later I have interacted with several other hospitals, therapists and services and have never experienced anything even comparable to the toxicity of that psych ward. The only good thing that came from those two weeks was my first formal diagnosis which at the time was major depression, generalized anxiety disorder and insomnia.
After my stint in the hospital I moved back home with the intention of seeking mental health care before returning to school the following year. Well, it turned out that because I was hospitalized in another city, I wasn't eligible for the outpatient psychiatric services at my local hospitals. I returned to see my psychologist but didn't receive the kind of intensive therapy I really needed at that time. It was a desperate time, I remember feeling lost and hopeless. However about four months after moving home I started dating my now husband Tom, which was the start of a whole lot of healing. Tom helped me dispense of baggage and regain trust after negative relationship experiences. With time and effort I learned how to navigate a healthy relationship and begin to see myself in a more positive light.
I started school back up again the following year. For the past year I had been on a wait list to see a psychiatrist but only after moving away was I invited to go in for an appointment. I travelled back home to see the psychiatrist and was shocked when it was just a quick appointment to give me a diagnosis, with no follow-up plan. The whole time I was in college my mental health continued to deteriorate. My episodes of depression became more frequent and my anxiety more acute. I tried to call offices of psychiatrists and psychologists but none were taking on patients and I had no family doctor in that city to help refer me to them. Given my experience during my hospitalization I wasn't inclined to try too hard to access services, I was petrified of receiving the same kind of treatment as I had in the past. So for the four years I was in school I didn't receive any treatment for my mental health. I began to use maladaptive coping mechanisms as a way to get by like self-harm and an increase in overeating. Outside of my mental health my life was starting to take better shape, I was in a great relationship, had developed a really wonderful group of friends and was succeeding well in school.
After school ended I tried but failed to land on my feet in the work place. My confidence was shaken and I was at a loss about what to do in the future. Tom and I got engaged right around this time and decided to move back to our home town. Initially upon returning home I continued to look for work, but soon it became apparent that I was not well enough to work and I had to seek mental health treatment. My anxiety was starting to manifest in ways I was unfamiliar with (severe agoraphobia and social phobia) and I entered a depression that was lower than I had ever experienced. I started to struggle to see friends and family or leave the house. At my lowest I wouldn't get out of bed, even to go to the washroom, unless Tom was home to accompany me from the bed to the bathroom. At the height of my anxiety I wasn't able to sleep and I was having as many as 8 panic attacks in a day. I wouldn't go downstairs because there were windows without dressings and there was a chance someone could see me, and even if not I would have to deal with light. I was so desperately low and so easily provoked to panic. In my room I didn't have to worry about interacting with the world. If the blinds were pulled shut and I stayed quiet no one needed to know that I was home. I ignored phone calls and texts. I panicked any time I heard a knock at the door or even just someone walking by outside. It was hell.
After being followed by my family doctor for a couple of months I got an appointment to see a psychiatrist through a friend of a friend of my mom's. I was so lucky that I got to sidestep the waiting period that would have accompanied normal referral processes, it is seriously messed up how long someone has to wait to receive necessary medical attention for mental illness (but that's a topic for another day!). Finally after basically my whole life of struggling with mental health, I was being followed by a competent and kind psychiatrist. It was extremely difficult at first because I carried forward such strong anxieties from past experiences with mental health professionals, but it was well worth the effort.
That was about two years ago now. The past two years have been messy, difficult and uneven. I have seen tens of psychiatrists and other mental health professionals. I have struggled with self-injury, suicide attempts and more panic attacks than I could hope to count. I have tried out a wide variety of medications. I have been hospitalized several times and visited Emergency a handful more. I have progressed in some ways and regressed in others. Getting married and watching some of my friends succeed in their personal lives has been a real highlight amongst all the messiness. Most importantly, I am working with a compassionate team of mental health professionals and I have an amazing network of supportive family and friends. Slowly but surely, we are finding solutions that work for me.
Last year during a hospitalization I decided to be open on social media with my friends about what I was going through. For years I had touted the virtues of speaking out and sharing your story, but mine was kept somewhat private. As soon as I started sharing about my anxiety, depression and experiences in mental health care I received responses from people saying it was helping them. On such a core human level, we don't want to feel alone in our struggles. I continued to shed the facade that I was doing great and replace it with a more honest account of how I was doing, my successes and my failures. That led to me starting up this blog. It hasn't always been easy to be so open and vulnerable. But each time I receive a message from someone thanking me for being open about my experiences with mental illness because it helps them with their own challenges, I feel a renewed energy for it.
Given that mental illness has been a part of my life from the start, I expect it probably will be until the end. But now that I have access to treatment there is a far better chance that my life will continue for many years to come. If there is one thing I wish I could shout from the rooftops, it would be for no one to ever take their mental health for granted. Don't wait to seek mental health treatment, the longer you wait the more your issues will compound in to a bigger mess that is harder to manage. I believe as long as I continue to gain the skills and strategies I need to live with my illnesses, I will be okay. I still struggle with guilt and self-stigmatizing over my mental illness, but the more I share and am open about my experiences the more accepting I am of what I am going through.
It's mental health week friends, time to #GetLoud.

Any help is appreciated, I've purchased a bunch of your themes and they are always awesome, beautifully coded, and well commented.
dmSeptember 28, 2011 at 9:40 am #52885
I'll ask Kriesi to look into it. You can set sub menu visibility to "visible" but it doesn't help much – the mega menu exceeds to page width (cause the javascript position function and menu width calculation doesn't work). Maybe it's possible to "hardcode" the position somehow but it's a tricky task (i.e. a two column menu needs less space than a 4 column menu, etc.).October 3, 2011 at 3:52 pm #52886
Thanks for the notice. Given the current structure of html/css it might be difficult to pull that off. I have to admit that this is an oversight of my part. I will have to take a look into it but a fast fix is probably not out soon, because the megamenu is part of the framework, and changing the html output would need to change every theme we have released during the last year. If at some point a major framework update is scheduled I will conider adding the features as well :)February 23, 2012 at 5:41 pm #52887
Hey Kriesi,
Any chance you've updated this in the AVIA framework in recent themes? If so update instructions or options would be greatly appreciated.

Issue 263 — The Paregien Journal — September 7, 2012
Ten Funny Aging Cartoons
by Stan Paregien Sr.
Yes, I know, aging can be creepy and painful and depressing and . . . well, you know the list.
Still, we who have crossed the "aged" and "senior citizen" threshold know we cannot escape it so we might just as well smile and laugh at it (and ourselves) as often as we can. After all, laughter really is good medicine for the human soul.
So I am posting here some 10 funny (and sometimes pointed and too close to home) cartoons about the aging process. Hey, just relax and enjoy them. Then tell your kids and grandkids to look at them. They just might see "Papa" and "Granny" in a whole new, appreciative light. Okay, that's probably not gonna happen. But they, too, may get a chuckle out of the cartoons.
See you next time.

Little is known about the drivers of organic decertification and it is unclear what production practices farmers adopt after decertification. This article investigated how farm demographics and characteristics, sources of information, and perceptions influence a farmer's decision to decertify. The data for this article were from a 2012 web-based survey of fruit and vegetable farmers that were part of the Food Industry MarketMaker database. We used a robust probit regression to identify the drivers of organic decertification of fruit and vegetable farmers in the U.S. Demographics; farm's characteristics, sources of information, and farmer's perceptions were key factors influencing the decision to decertify. Finding useful information from price reporting services and certifiers decreased the probability to decertify. On the other hand, farmers located in the Midwest, those selling vegetables, and those perceiving the organic certification process as a barrier were more likely to decertify.

Author: Chara Donahue
As I write today, I am very aware of where I sit. My world is still moving, Father's Day just wrapped up, and the sun is shining brightly in the Pacific Northwest. I am quite conscious of the fact that as I lounge comfortably here, a week ago darkness violently spread itself upon the steps of a holy place.
As I breathe in the quiet warmth of a summer's day I can't help but ask why the most sincere and loudest cries for justice ring from silent pulpits and the bodies of the slain. My soul is burdened and my heart repeats,
"Jesus please come.
Come to the children for which Father's Day only illuminated that theirs was stolen by hate.
Come to the communities that are mourning and fearful because their safe spaces have been wrought asunder by a soul submitted to evil.
Come to those in our country who naively thought that we were past racial oppression because we have a black president.
Come to the global church as we grieve with our brothers and sisters at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church. They have been stripped of their pastor, and are left to be haunted by the prophetic times he preached that engaging in the fight for justice might cost you your life[1]. May they be comforted, because they know he is with you.
Jesus come, because I know you are the perfect reconciler, but at this moment — reconciliation seems so far."
This is my prayer. My eyes, set in white skin, have wept for my black brothers and sisters, and I know I cannot see the furthest depths of this problem. I know that this is not about the assailant, or rationalizing whatever led him to dehumanize living, breathing people who offered prayers with their last breaths. I rejoice in his apprehension, but that is only a trickle of the river of justice that needs to come. As I view the pictures of Dr. Martin Luther King sitting at Emmanuel AME years ago contrasted with the pictures of the same church surrounded by police cars and coroners, I am paralyzed with grief for the history of oppression, degradation, and injustice. It is a history that says, "we have come so far, but we must go further still."

The King Center posted this image of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston
So I ask, what does 'further still' look like — in my life, in this culture?
It's more than taking down confederate flags. That is a start, but we must acknowledge that when our young pretend to be dead so that they may have life, we, yes we collectively, all people, have a problem. People may continue to rationalize and defend the incidents that have been making their ways into the headlines lately, but this blatant act of hostility demands our voice, our attention, and our lament. Let the voices that say there is no problem be drowned out by those of all races saying, "We want unity and are willing to sacrifice to see it. We will stand in solidarity so that the beauty of action can usher in harmonious calls for justice. We must extend past paltry sentimentality, and actually take steps to make peace, walking out the ministry of reconciliation that God asks of believers in 2 Corinthians 5:18."
All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation.
Growing up in the Bay Area of California, my group of friends included a delightful array of Indian, Pakistani, African American, Caucasian and Latino women. That's just the way life was, I never realized how precious a gift I was given. Then I moved to my current city that is predominantly white, and it just felt awkward, and bizarre. I have met great people here, but there is a part of me that can tell something rich is missing, that longs for my community to be multi-ethnic. Not because it is the hot topic right now, not even because it is simply the right thing, but because it's Christ's thing. I want the things of Jesus, and I am willing to fight for them. He has reconciled the Jew and the Gentile, the Asian and Latino, the Black and the White. I want to help bear the weight of the struggles and share in the joys of all my brothers and sisters in Christ. I want to invite others into the family who's genetic markers are things like forgiveness, mercy, and sacrificial love. Part of this is a desire to see Heaven come to Earth, and I know heaven will not be rocking a white majority. Too rarely do we get glimpses of this eternal reality, but when all races gather to worship together — desegregated, with love, and without hindrance — we get a taste of the sweetness to come.
After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands. Revelations 7:9


text: Canada is not well-known for its Pyromorphites, so when you see one that is green and of this habit, that can only mean the famous old Society Girl Mine! For Canada, this is a superb specimen. The color is good, a slightly two-toned hue; and the luster is very good. The largest crystal reaches and impressive 2.7 cm. Although a few terminations were slightly rubbed, the compound crystal here is large and fine for the locality! A good, attractive miniature specimen that is much bigger than the usual thumbnail which is all we see from here.

South Carolina led 18-15 in the first half, and cut the lead to 10 points shortly after the break. But the reality is that UConn was in control pretty much from the opening tip to the final whistle, looking every bit the No. 1 team in the country.
When it was over, the Huskies cruised to an 87-62 victory, snapping the Gamecocks' 22-game winning streak in the process. Senior Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis played like the nation's best shooter, draining 5 of 6 looks from beyond the arc and finishing with a game-high 23 points, while Breanna Stewart looked like the nation's best player, scoring 22 points and pulling 8 rebounds against a South Carolina defense helpless to do much about it.
Morgan Tuck added 17 points and 6 boards while point guard Moriah Jefferson went for 16 points, 6 assists and 4 rebounds.
"South Carolina is a great team, they are hard to play against, really hard to play against, but when you get four guys playing the way those guys played," coach Geno Auriemma said afterwards, "it's hard to play against us ... really hard, especially in the atmosphere we were able to feed off. We fed off our crowd a lot.
"In the second half, we came out up sixteen and they cut it to ten right away. I remember going to the bench at one point and Breanna Stewart said 'That's it, they are done, that's their run,' and that's the way it played out. Usually Stewart doesn't say anything. She doesn't say anything."
Auriemma also spoke to the magnitude of the spectacle, which was arguably the biggest game in the country -- in any sport -- on Monday night.
"I tell kids all of the time when we are recruiting players this is what they want," he said. "This is the game that they want to play in, a game like this. I guess this was a slow night in the sports world because I guess this was the biggest thing on television tonight. The point of coming to Connecticut is to play in these games. Whether its January, February, March, April, it doesn't matter, these are the games you come to Connecticut for, these are the games we practice for, games like today."
Stewart added: "We want to play the best team in the country. If we could have a schedule where we could play the top 25, we would love to have that. We all have our own conferences, and we have to do as best we can within those conferences."
Mosqueda-Lewis, Stewart Lead Huskies in Win
Four Huskies scored at least 16 points in the blowout victory over South Carolina.
South Carolina led 18-15 in the first half, and cut the lead to 10 points shortly after the break. But the reality is that UConn was in control pretty much from the opening tip to the final whistle, looking every bit the No. 1 team in the country.

My friend Brad is a starving Pastor in Texas with great Photoshop skills. He sent me this picture in response to the yesterday's article. I think it is supposed to be a postmodern illustration of the verse where Jesus explains what to do when someone asks for your cloak. Not sure though.

Surly Seagull framed
Finally got this guy dressed to the nines in a frame from Newfoundland Canvas. He's the last painting available from the series of Victorian animals I started this year (message me for pricing if you're interested). Now that market season has ended, I'm looking forward to a break from producing t-shirts, embossings and prints so that I can get back to painting.

Being the stronghold where the troops station, passes are often located in the key position of the Great Wall, to get the effect of "if one man guards the pass, tens of thousands never want to get through". Generally speaking, the pass is composed of a city wall (square or polygon shaped), city gate, gate tower, luocheng, wengcheng (the following paragraphs will further explain these two fortifications), and moat.
City Wall: It is the main component of the Great Wall pass, often measures about 33 feet tall. The outside of the wall was laid by pieces of large bricks or stones with the inner comprising of yellow earth and debris. The top of the wall measures about 4.4 to 5.5 yards which enables four horses to run side by side. On the wall, there are forts from where soldiers can overlook and shoot with low parapets (Nuqiang in Chinese) to protect people and horses in case they fell over the wall.
City Gate: In peace time, it is the passageway for soldiers passing in and out. At war, it is used for the exit to counter attack enemies. Many gates are carved the name of the pass. Inside the opening, a pair of wooden doors stand there which are covered by sheet iron on the outside. The inner sides of the doors are secured by big bolts and lock holes. Even machineries are hidden inside to kill the intruders.
Gate Tower: It has one, two or three floors and usually made of wood or bricks. It is stands on top of the gate and serves as a watch tower and commanding post when war is imminent. Many gate towers on Great Wall are colorfully painted and intricately decorated, which makes them look like delicate artwork. The gate tower of Shanhaiguan Pass is a typical example of this.
Wengcheng: A small enclosure which is built on the outer side of the Great Wall. It serves as another line of the city wall to strengthen the defensibility of the city gate.
Luocheng: It is a secondary wall built to protect the Wengcheng which is often the main target of enemies. On the top, there are also towers to watch the enemy's situation and command battlement.
Moat: There is usually a moat around the Great Wall pass. It is a deep trench filled with water after excavation to build the pass. Being another line of defense, it increases the difficulty for enemies to attack the city and creates opportunities for soldiers on the wall to attack intruders.

Computer World is one the most popular technology vendor not only here in Davao but also to the nearest provinces in Mindanao. In fact, majority of the computer retailing shops in provincial areas choose Davao Computer World as their main products supplier.
There are sundry of computer accessories near the counter area where customers do inquires and near the exit door situated is the Technical Assistant kiosk where computer repair, setup, configuration, assembling or troubleshooting are done.
In one of the corner, you will see a little cubicle or showcases for printer consumables only like bottled inks, cartridges, (I don't see CISS kits) and more.
The 2nd level could be their stock room or setup area as well.(I have no enough time to ask them, I'm just passing by).
One advantage of buying here is to have their quality products with reasonable prices and wide range of packages. Also, a good parking space. ..:)

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'online communities' tag.
While everyone is seemingly on Facebook and Twitter, don't think for a second that there is no room for smaller niche communities that cater to specific areas of interest. New online communities are launching all the time and those that don't subscribe to the "if you build it they will come" fallacy can be quite successful despite the dominance of the big two.
I learned of two new online communities just this week: MultiUnitLiving.com and TeamRunSmart.com. Both cater to a very distinct audience. MultiUnitLiving.com is a community for owner operators and property managers of multi-family housing. It allows them to connect with their peers and discuss industry issues.
TeamRunSmart.com is a new community created by Freightliner Trucks, aimed at educating professional drivers on how to improve their profitability. Features include educational articles, blogs, operational tips and insight from professional drivers and "coaches" on how to be more successful. Freightliner's director of product marketing, TJ Reed says the Team Run Smart community is the "definitive guide to help business-minded drivers succeed,"
I think online communities are a fine choice and sometimes the best solution. Facebook and Twitter can be everything to everyone. Sometimes you need a closed, owned environment that doesn't change every week, requiring you to adapt.
Community managers are getting lazy. I think it's because many who actually hold the title, aren't really doing the job. On some level, it isn't their fault. The people hiring them don't know what they're looking for and many are strictly numbers driven.
Success is measured in "likes" and 'comments." Job descriptions mention the growth of a Facebook or Twitter community, when there isn't one in existence in the first place. Fans and followers do not constitute a community. But despite how I feel about that, which is all based on experience, the jobs are plenty and that is a good thing. But community management is an art and a craft that must be fostered and developed.
Real community managers know this. The others are simply playing community managers on the internet. And here's how they operate. Here, I give you the five habits of highly ineffective community managers:
1. They are constantly asking users to help them reach specific milestones. You've seen it before: "Help us get to 5,000 fans," "Like this post so we can beat our record of 90 likes on a single post," Five more comments to reach 100, come on..post!" Does this sound familiar? I know you've seen it. This is the absolute laziest way to grow a community. It's all about numbers to the people who do this. I hate to even refer to them as community managers. They could care less about actual engagement. They're just looking for bragging rights.
I spoke at Internet Summit 2011 yesterday on the truth about community management. I have heard such great things about the content in person and online, particularly on Twitter and I am so happy that people found it helpful. I always strive to be honest and forthright about my experiences and never sugarcoat what it takes to grow an online community.
I figure since there are so many people out there telling lies and spreading myths about social media, I am not needed to perpetuate the trend.
I did post a link to the presentation on Slideshare, but I'm also posting it here for those who may be interested.
Angela Connor's presentation at Internet Summit 2011
Enjoy. And let me know if you have any questions. as you probably know, I can talk about this all day.
The only excuse for having stale content in your online community is apathy. And that's not even a real excuse. If you find yourself saying you don't have time, then ask yourself this question: Why did I create the community in the first place?
When you can't be bothered to post fresh content in your community, how will you possibly motivate others to do it?
A community requires ownership. Internal ownership. It needs someone whose job it is to care, cultivate and connect with the community. This shouldn't be a difficult concept to grasp, but most communities fail because they are abandoned shortly after launch.
I gave a presentation to a group of executives in Geneva, Switzerland two weeks ago (via Skype) about what it takes to grow a successful online community and I went on and on about the sheer time and commitment level it takes to keep it alive. They were convinced by the end of the hour and that pleased me to no end.They really seemed to get it, which is much more than I can say for many.
I can go on and on about this but I won't. Simply put, stale content is embarrassing.
So do something about it. If you don't, you deserve exactly what you get.
If you're one of the hundreds of thousands or even millions of people running an online community on Ning, it's time to pull out your credit card or look for new digs.
The company announced earlier this week that the free model is going away. TechCrunch published the memo issued by Ning CEO Jason Rosenthal and I encourage you to read it. You may recall that I interviewed Mr. Rosenthal back in November when he was Chief Operating Officer of Ning and he had nothing but great things to say about the company's growth.
At any rate, here is an excerpt from the memo announcing the changes:
…We will phase out our free service. Existing free networks will have the opportunity to either convert to paying for premium services, or transition off of Ning. We will judge ourselves by our ability to enable and power Premium Ning Networks at huge scale. And all of our product development capability will be devoted to making paying Network Creators extremely happy.
So there you have it. I'm sure it wasn't an easy decision but I can assure you that many, many online communities are soon to bite the dust. The free model and low barrier to entry is what brought so many people to Ning.
The technologically challenged network owners probably have no idea where to look to even begin a transition. Their transition will likely be extinction, and as a community advocate I find that extremely sad.
Do you run a network on Ning? If so, what's your plan? I'm sure that others will be happy to listen and learn.
Its one thing to charge someone with growing your membership, but quite another to truly understand what it is you're asking.
No one can effectively grow and maintain a community without the resources to make it happen.
What are those resources you might ask?
Well, the most important is time. They need time to nurture the community, seed it with content, create discussions, build relationships and interact with the masses.
But wait!
They can't do any of that if they don't know what the users want. And if you can't tell them then you need to give them more time to figure it out so that the community can thrive and grow.
There is so much competition out there, so your community has to become a destination. It has to fill a need that isn't being met elsewhere. In other words, people need a reason to come.
Sometimes your brand is enough to get them there. But oftentimes it isn't enough to get them to stay.
It is frustrating to see people deem this as an afterthought. If you are building or maintaining a community for a client, you need to be paid for the time it takes to do it. And you need to make sure they understand that this does not happen overnight.
How many ghost towns have you seen lately? How many LinkedIn groups with no discussions, abandoned Twitter accounts and empty Facebook pages have you visited in the last month? (Remember this report released four months ago that found that over a third of all FB fan pages had fewer than 100 fans?)
The problem is everyone wants to be everywhere but they have no strategy for making any of it a success, and that, in my opinion is crazy.
The point here is this: If you have goals related to increasing membership and engagement levels of any online community regardless of the platform, you have a hard job.
So, you'd better make sure that you aren't the only one aware of that fact.
I have a rogue group of members in my community. They don't think I know it. But I know it all too well. Their tactics are completely juvenile. They plot against other members, and pat each other on the back when their antics cause others grief.
They clearly have a lot of time on their hands.
I have struggled with handling this group. I just want to kick them all out. They all have alter egos. They present themselves to me in one way, and do a complete 180 when they think I'm not looking.
I haven't mentioned this much until now but I am completely dissatisfied with our registration system and my hands have been tied for a long time. You see, my online community registration is tied to a news organization and IP banning isn't the answer because I can't ban people from the news. I kick them out and they're back 15 minutes later. All it takes is a new email account. Sad, but true. This is an area where the real troublemakers and trolls have the upper hand.
Want to make a few changes in your online community in 2010? Consider adopting these resolutions. If you like them, don't wait two days. Start today.
- Stop taking things personally.The members don't know you. They know your work. If a few dislike you, it's probably because you are doing your job. You cannot please everyone. Accept that this is impossible and focus on what really matters: Growing the community and bringing people together.
- Greet at least three newcomers daily. Do this with a personal greeting beyond "Welcome to ____." Find something about them that you can comment on. Perhaps they have a cool avatar or mentioned that they like horseback riding in their profile. Find a way to relate from the very beginning.Your personal touch will go a long way.
- Reinvent your newsletter.Whether it's weekly or monthly it's time to fine-tune your newsletter and include content that people actually care about.If you have news to share about the organization, put it toward the end. Make members feel special by highlighting their work. Look for the most interesting, not necessarily the content with the most page views or comments. And whenever possible…make it short!

Book Expo of America!
Anyway, after spending so much time trying to figure it out, we finally did. I want to share with everyone how BOOK BLOGGERS register for Book Expo. I had so much help and I think it's only fair we do the same thing.
1. You would visit this link to register: www.bookexpoamerica.com/pressreg That will bring you to a screen where you have to enter all your information.
2. Once everything is filled out, you would click Continue and click on Journalist > Blogger > then continue from there.
3. Now here is where EVERYONE got confused...I was told by NUMEROUS of people that we do not pay because we attend as Press, but the next screen was bringing us to another little box to check that says Blogger and then $120 Dollars. We do not need to check this box. That $120 is for a concurrent event, which is Book Bloggers Convention that is taking place at the same time. DO NOT click the box if you do not want tickets to this event and HIT CONTINUE. If you are purchasing tickets for this, then go right ahead and click the box! LOL
And that's pretty much it! We are now just waiting to see if we get approved to attend the event. We have our badge numbers etc., but that does not mean we're guaranteed inside. So, now we're stressing over that LOL!
If you have any questions at all leave a comment and we would be more than happy to TRY and help. We're still a little confused, but at least we figured that part out right? LOL
Lots and lots of GRACIAS to everyone who helped us out last night! :-) Chao!

THANKS! Helped a bunch *-*ReplyDelete
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! I was staring at the screen last night very confused and decided to do it later, haha.ReplyDelete
Sorry, forgot to ask. I know you provided a direct link, but on the updated registration page, under press/media there's "editorial" and "noneditorial". Bloggers are noneditorial, right?ReplyDelete
Don't click on the noneditorial registration. It means it wants to charge you for your pass because you are under general admission somehow. Trust me I spent 2 hours this morning on the phone with them about it. Just do the press registration under editorial then the pass is free.ReplyDelete
In the form, what did you put as "title"?ReplyDelete
And if you are bringing a member of the family, what do you do for that? Do they need to register separately?ReplyDelete
I don't know if you're bringing a family member how to do that. And under title I put Blogger/Reviewer.ReplyDelete
Thank you for stopping by! We love reading your comments and we try to reply back to each comment. So make sure to check back with us.

Back to Bugs and Outbreaks page
Just the words scabies, lice, and bed bugs can make you start to itch. But by passing along some tips to patients and families, these common creepy crawlies can be treated and prevented.
Scabies is an infestation of the skin caused by a mite burrowing into the top layer of the skin forms a slightly raised tunnel. The mite is passed from person to person by skin contact or by sharing bedding, clothing, or other linens with a person who has scabies. It is possible to spread scabies from the moment of first contact until after all treatment is completed. Persons with symptoms should be checked and treated by their doctor as quickly as possible.
The most common symptom is an itchy rash, mostly at night. It can appear anywhere on the body, but is usually on the hands, wrists, elbows, breasts, armpits, waistline, and groin. Elderly persons, persons in institutions, and persons whose immune system is weak may not feel itchy.
Lice (head, body, or pubic lice) do not spread diseases, and are not usually spread by contact with clothing (such as hats, scarves, coats) or other personal items (such as combs, brushes, or towels). The diagnosis of a head lice infestation is best made by finding a live adult louse on the scalp or hair of a person. Because adult lice are very small, move quickly, and avoid light, they can be difficult to find. Using a magnifying lens and a fine-toothed comb may be helpful to find live lice.
Treatment for lice requires an over-the-counter medication, cream, or prescription medicated shampoo. All household members and other close contacts of the person who has a lice infestation should also be checked. All infested persons and their bedmates should be treated at the same time. Recently, researchers have found a strain of mutant lice in 25 states that is resistant to over-the-counter treatments.
Bed bugs are small, reddish brown, flattened, wingless insects that feed solely on the blood of humans and other warm-blooded animals, usually at night. Bed bugs do not transmit disease, but their saliva causes intense itching. Bed bugs form nests in cracks, furniture seams, bed frames, and mattresses and can survive for several months without feeding. They can hide within crevices and other small spaces such as headboards, baseboards, mattress seams, and areas of clutter. People with bedbugs will often see small drops of blood on bed sheets or pillows; this is caused by engorged bed bugs that were crushed. Bed bug infestations also emit an odor.
What you can do:
Advise patients that the best way to prevent scabies is to avoid skin-to-skin contact with someone who is infested and avoid using their personal items (such as bedding and linens). A patient who has scabies will need a scabicide to treat the infestation. Rooms occupied by patients with crusted scabies should be thoroughly cleaned and vacuumed after use. Environmental disinfestation using pesticide sprays or fogs generally is not needed or recommended.
Recommend that patients not share personal items such as combs and brushes, hair accessories, hats, scarves. Checking children's hair and scalp regularly will catch an infestation early on so that treatment can start right away.
Patients should not scratch the bites. Bed bug infestations can be treated by insecticide spraying. Preventing bed bugs is easier than treating an existing infestation. Bed bugs are known to "hitch-hike" on suitcases, soft furniture, and clothing. If you discover bed bugs in a patient room, recommend that the patient bathe, change clothes, and be transferred into another room. Their belongings and the equipment in the room shouldn't leave the room until the room is deemed free of bed bugs. Clothes and linens should be carefully removed, sealed tightly in plastic bags, and laundered immediately on the hot setting (dryer) to destroy all stages of bed bugs. If you find bed bugs on the patient's belongings, inform them that their household may be infested.

Sony Seed Acceleration Program, which seeks to fast-track promising new business ideas proposed by Sony employees into full-fledged businesses, unveils "First Flight." First Flight is a new online platform providing an suite of services from crowdfunding to e-commerce in Japan. Kazuo Hirai, Sony President and CEO, says: "Sony's innovation is ingrained in the company's founding spirit of `doing what has never been done before.' Nothing embodies this spirit more than passionate entrepreneurs who give shape to their ground-breaking ideas and introduce them to the world, without fear of failure. The First Flight platform and other Seed Acceleration Program initiatives accelerate and optimize this process. Sony itself originated as a start-up, and through the Seed Acceleration Program we are challenging ourselves to return to our entrepreneurial roots. At Sony we will continue to explore ways of delivering new, emotionally compelling experiences and enhanced customer value."
The fist three projects on the new site are not related to imaging. I wonder if we ever see image sensor crowdfunding projects proposed by Sony employees from image sensor division.

James Dobson is feeling neglected as he ponders the site of the 2016 Republican Convention:
"The GOP is supposedly interested in reaching out to conservatives and evangelicals. Maybe that's just a front, but if they really mean it this is not the way to do it," Dobson said Tuesday. "Even though Vegas has tried to shore itself up and call itself family-friendly, it's still a metaphor for decadence. There's still 64 pages of escort services in the yellow pages. … You can't have it both ways."
I'm fairly certain you can have it all kinds of ways, Dobby. Just keep dialing.

Some months ago, I penned a post on my blog entitled Some Questions I'm Asking While Off to my White Evangelical Church. The post was motivated by months of observation and increasing agitation at blanket charges hurled at white evangelicals as an entire group of their complicity in endorsing white supremacy and perpetuating the same kind of racism that barred minorities from participating in active fellowship. Now that's not to say that there aren't still pockets within the American church infrastructure that still practice this kind of active discrimination. I know they exist, not just the blatant kind of racism but the subtle bias. But as I noted in the follow up to that post, often I think we impose the weight of history onto the present as if the same kind of oppression exists as it did during Jim Crow. And God forbid if a white person doesn't agree.
I can't help but observe that this broad brush application in the church is but a reflection of what is going on in the broader society. That is, whenever a white person doesn't grovel and apologetically kowtow to every demand made on them to show they aren't racist, then the accusations of their oppositions ensue. Unfortunately, this doesn't account for the fact that some white folks are observing the landscape and questioning if the activist sentiments that exist today are really addressing active racism or is it something else to appease the minds of the protesters.
With that said, I was sent this article from a good friend of mine from seminary penned by his son for his college newspaper. I know this family and know their hearts for people. I know their disposition towards racism, in that they would never deem a person of another race inferior to themselves. I know the work of the father, a senior pastor who labors in a predominantly African-American community and actively pursues reconciliation even though his conservative politics might suggest otherwise. It also shows me the cowardice of labeling people simply because they don't comply with every jot and tittle of expectation even when their actions prove they aren't who the "narrative" says they are. So I post Isaiah's article in its entirety. I think he asks some important questions and presents some challenging and poignant words, for sure.
Why I did Not March
by Isaiah Mitchell
There were a few people — friends, professors, Yolanda the Supreme Mabee Guard — who asked me if I was going to march on MLK Jr. Day. I would tell them no, that I had homework and so forth, that I was going to do some writing instead, that I think I may visit my family but who knows? But I don't have the time — sorry. These stammerings worked well until certain friends pressed me further, sensing a deeper objection.
On MLK Jr. Day, I walked past the long line of buses in front of Bell Center and saw the throng of wide-eyed, cheery students. I thought it strange revelry. Many pictures of the Selma marchers show clenched jaws and iron gazes, but some smiles too — yet those were the smiles of men and women marching themselves into, in some cases, dogs and fire hoses and visceral rage. Some of those smiles were smashed in with billy clubs. The violence that the marchers of the 1960s faced lurks deep in our cultural conscience.
Racism for those marchers was not a mere word. Racism was not a malleable term to be debated, nor a cheap insult to toss around lightly. It was tangible and painful and real. This word has since waxed into something fuller — perhaps too full and broad — and it leaves me wondering what my colleagues are marching against today. Racism, yes, but what does that word mean for them now? Less-than-sensitive rhetoric? Resistance to multiculturalism? Sorority girls wearing sombreros?
Surely many students have more realistic reasons for marching. There are indeed economic and social disparities that are impossible to ignore between blacks and whites in America today, but who is to blame? Who is the enemy against which we march? For most of my colleagues, it is a foe that they do not care to either face or acknowledge. We already have a perfect enemy: white, preferably evangelical, preferably Southern and most preferably conservative (i.e. me).
From my perspective, the real enemy is not dominant whiteness but the federal government, most notably the Democratic party. Racism is no longer a social problem, and in a sense it never was. Racism is an economic problem. Disparities are not evidence of dominance or racism. White Americans are not even the top earners in the country — in America, the top three ethnic groups in terms of household income are Indians, Filipinos and Taiwanese. Likewise, Iranian-, Nigerian-, and Ghanaian-Americans earn more than the average white American. Does this mean that the American economic system privileges Iranians over whites? Is there Filipino privilege?
Furthermore, the black community suffered statistical harm under Democratic entitlement policies. In 1960, around a century after the 13th amendment, just 22 percent of black children grew up in homes without both parents. By 1990, after the government implemented the War on Poverty and a host of other entitlement programs designed to help (read: target) the black community, that number had tripled. Only a fraction of black students are getting into private high schools today compared to the percentage of black students that were receiving private high school education decades ago. In general, the black community is worse off now than it was when the Selma marchers were marching, despite the undeniable fact that U.S. society has grown less and less racist. The discussionof how Democratic programs have wrought this force on the black community is worth a paper in and of itself, but it suffices to assume that my colleagues are marching against none of these things.
My colleagues march against an effigy. I am sure they acknowledge these problems, but instead of earnestly seeking practical solutions for them, progressives tend to use these economic problems as a backdrop to emphasize and inflate social problems that are diminishing quickly into nothingness. For their own self-assurance, they make a carnival out of a struggle and I see no principle in it. In their push for progress, they have refused to acknowledge that the foe they claim to fight against has progressed as well and is no longer the slaveowners and the KKK and the Nazis all rolled into one. As an outsider looking in, I see a place in which I am not welcome. I see a movement that claims to fight against racism but only on the easiest and falsest terms. I see a movement that lumps in things which I love, namely justice and peace, with political issues with which I cannot agree. I will strive to love my fellow men and women, but I will not delude myself into walking easy streets among friends to the sounds of praise and call it fighting for justice.

An updated version of a recipe originally published in July 26, 2003.
When Speedy was first learning how to make pork spring rolls, he'd simply put some filling across the middle of the wrapper then roll. Then, he'd fry the rolls. And we'd complain that his spring rolls were too oily — with both ends of the wrappers open, the filling got soaked in oil during frying.
Well, that was a long time ago. Speedy cooked pork spring rolls, lumpiang shanghai to Filipinos, for lunch today and, my oh my, were they gorgeous. Non-greasy, crisp outside, juicy inside and very tasty.
The filling is a mixture of ground pork, chopped onion, garlic and carrots, seasoned with salt and pepper — a mixture different from what I use but which is just as delicious so that just proves that you can prepare the filling in many ways and still come up with delicious spring rolls.
Pork Spring Rolls (Lumpiang Shanghai)Print Pin
- 500 grams ground pork with a good amount of fat
- 1 large onion chopped
- 3 to 4 cloves garlic chopped
- 1 medium carrot chopped or grated
- salt
- freshly ground pepper
- 1 egg beaten (for sealing the spring rolls)
- 20 spring roll wrappers separated
- cooking oil for deep frying
- Mix all the ingredients, except the wrappers, to make the filling. To determine if the seasoning is just right, take a small amount of the filling, form into a small patty or ball and fry. Taste and make the necessary adjustments, if needed.
- If the filling tastes right, make the spring rolls. For a step-by-step guide on making spring rolls, click here.
- Heat two to three cups of cooking oil in a wok or frying pan until it emits fine wisps of smoke. The exact amount depends on the size of your pan but, as a guide, the oil should be at least two inches deep.
- Fry the spring rolls, a few at a time to avoid overcrowding and temperature drop, rolling them in the hot oil until golden brown. Scoop out and drain. Placing them vertically on a strainer is a good trick to force excess oil to drip out.
- Cut the fried spring rolls in halves or thirds. Serve at once with sweet-sour sauce or sweet-chili sauce.
