Nadal's Jewish ancestry revisited
Recently, I wrote about world tennis champion Rafael Nadal and his probable Jewish ancestors. The story went viral and was picked up by some leading Spanish magazines. Yesterday, Nadal responded. In a story in the Times of Israel, Howard Blas writes how, while covering the present US Open tournament in Flushing Meadows, New York, he asked Nadal to respond to my theories that he is of Jewish descent. Blas writes that at first Nadal did not understand the question. After the word "Jewish" was translated into Spanish as "Judio", i.e. "Jew", he responded; "That's not true. Really doesn't matter for me. Doesn't matter if I am or am not. But is not the case. I am not." According to Blas: "Mystery solved." Maybe not.
Let me start by saying that it's Nadal's prerogative to be whatever he wants to be. But isn't it curious that a man who, according to Blas, "speaks English beautifully" did not understand the word "Jew" or "Jewish"? Maybe he didn't understand Blas' question. There is a huge distinction between "are you a Jew?" and "do you have Jewish ancestry?" Many Spaniards and Portuguese will answer "no" to the first question and "yes" to the second. This is an important distinction and Nadal may have missed it.
More than this, you have to understand the meaning of the word "Chueta." In the lead up to the 1492 expulsion of the Jews from Spain, many Jews were forcibly converted to Christianity. But rather than be welcomed to their new faith, they were mocked as "Pig eaters" i.e. "Maranos" in Spanish, and "Chuetas" in Catalan, the language of Majorca (Mallorca, in Catalan), the island that Nadal hails from. For hundreds of years, these "New Christians" were persecuted by the "Old Christians." In fact, back in the bad old days, fifteen family names of Chuetas were published by the church. These are: Aguiló, Bonnín, Cortès, Forteza, Fuster, Martí, Miró, Picó, Pinya, Pomar, Segura, Valls, Valentí, Valleriola and Tarongí. These families were marked for persecution. For centuries, the secret Jews of Majorca struggled to make sure their names were not on that list. The Nadals were probably one such family. Why do I say this? Because in the late sixteen hundreds a "Rafael Nadal" was hauled up before the Inquisition and tried as a "Judaizer" i.e. someone who, while pretending to be Catholic, was practicing Judaism. In the end of the 15th century, one of the founders of the Jesuit order, Jerónimo Nadal, came from the exact town as our tennis champion – Palma – and was a suspected Marano. Unless we believe that there were multiple Nadals in Palma, some Jewish, some not, Rafael is one of these Nadals. Furthermore, on his mother's side Nadal is a "Parera" i.e. "pear tree." This is one of the most common names adopted by those Jews who were forced to give up their Hebrew names. Are we to believe that on his mother's side he has a Marano name and on his father's side he has a Marano history but all this is just a coincidence and he has no Jewish ancestry at all?
Finally, there's a basic problem with "outing" a Chueta. The essence of the Chueta experience is to cover up one's Jewish background – denying one's Jewish family heritage is the mechanism for one's survival. I have met families that to this day live in terror of being found out. They celebrate Passover in their basements with the curtains drawn. No amount of encouragement will bring them out. But some have come out. In the last few years, the Israel based organization, Shavei Israel, has opened up a spiritual center in Palma, Majorca, which is serving those Majorcans who are trying to reclaim their Jewish past. Headed by Michael Freund, the organization has even managed to get a prominent Israeli rabbi to recognize Majorca's "Chuetas" as authentic Jews from a Torah point of view. According to Freund:
…the last fifty or sixty years of liberalization on Majorca has been a double edged sword for the Chuetas. Freedom brings with it the opportunity to assimilate and the opportunity to reclaim your history. We are there to help those who want to explore their heritage. If Nadal is indeed of Jewish ancestry and if he chooses to come to our center, he will be more than welcome.
Here's more on the Chuetas in Majorca:

Rizvi in press conference
The govt and ministers are making a mockery with people over excise duty
BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Rizvi Ahmed on Friday impeached Finance Minister AMA Muhith for his rigid stance on excise duty on bank accounts and 15 percent uniform VAT, saying he is making a mockery over the issue.
Rizvi Ahmed said,"The government and its ministers are making a mockery with people over excise duty and 15 percent uniform VAT after losing their political sagacity."
He claimed that there is no existence of excise duty on bank accounts across the world, Rizvi said, "Tk 800 will be deducted if anyone keeps Tk. one lakh in any bank. Service duty will also be added with this."
He said the government has created valid loopholes in the national budget through imposing excise duty and increasing 15 percent uniform VAT which will badly affect the common people, the BNP leader said.

- Toray Pan Pacific Open
Venus fights back to extend Tokyo run
Venus Williams recovered from a set and a break down against Simona Halep to reach the quarter-finals of the Toray Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo.
The seven-time grand slam champion, who knocked out top seed Victoria Azarenka in the second round, said she was as surprised as anyone after turning the match on its head midway through the second set.
"I don't know how I was able to win that match," Williams said after beating Halep 4-6 7-5 6-3. "She played unbelievable. I've never seen her hit the ball that hard.
"It came down to who was more determined, who would fight harder and believe more. I'm glad that person was me."
Halep's four-trophy haul this season puts her second only to Serena Williams, but the world No. 1's elder sister had the measure of the 13th seed in Tokyo and insisted she had no intention of retiring any time soon.
"The motivation for me now is knowing my luck's got to change," said Williams, who was diagnosed with energy-sapping Sjogren's syndrome in 2011.
"My body's got to co-operate at some point. What am I going to do anyway - watch TV? That's just lazy, and Serena wouldn't let me quit. She'd be like, 'You're playing doubles!' I'd be, 'Okay.'
"I perhaps don't have the health of the other players but physically I'm always trying to get an edge."
Up next for Williams is Canadian teenager Eugenie Bouchard, who upset sixth seed Jelena Jankovic 7-5 6-2 as the rain lashed down on the roof of the Ariake Coliseum. Samantha Stosur was another seed to fall before the last eight, beaten 6-4 6-4 by Lucie Safarova.
Former world No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki, a winner in Tokyo three years ago, breezed into the last-eight with a 6-1 6-1 demolition of Magdalena Rybarikova, while second seed Agnieszka Radwanska saw off Dominika Cibulkova 6-3 6-4.

A man from Mexico has admitted to killing a U.S. Border Patrol agent in 2009.
Marcos Rodríguez-Perez, 28, entered a guilty plea on Thursday in federal court that stated he was one of the three gunmen who murdered U.S. Border Patrol Agent Robert Rosas, Jr. when they tried to steal his night vision goggles in Campo, Calif.
The three men allegedly shot Rosas multiple times before fleeing to Mexico with his firearm, gear bag, handcuffs and night vision goggle, according to court documents.
Rodríguez-Perez was arrested in 2011 and was later extradited from Mexico. His plea agreement has a sentence of 58 years in prison, but he will not be officially sentenced until later this year.
Three other defendants in the case have also pleaded guilty. Christian Daniel Castro-Alvarez has been sentenced to 40 years in prison, while Emilio Samyn Gonzalez-Arenazas and Jose Ramirez-Dorantes will be sentenced in November.
One fugitive in the case remains: Jose Juan Chacon-Morales.
The FBI and Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations are still investigating Rosas' murder.

Don't Wait Until Tomorrow, Start Living Today
I had a dream last night. In the dream I was outside somewhere waiting for someone. I was waiting for someone who will never come. While waiting, I asked myself anxiously, 'what am I doing?' and than suddenly, I hear a voice speaking. It was as if I was speaking to myself, and yet it was someone else's voice. It said, 'If you wait for the sky to come down, it will never come', and I woke up at that point.
Maybe you can relate to the truth of that phrase, but the dream not just reminded me not to wait to achieve the goal I want to achieve NOW, but also reminded me of a dream I had long time ago back in the year 2001. I still have the dream recorded in my dream journal. It happened on the 19th August 2001.
In that dream, I was in a room like place with my spiritual master. There were many others who were also there. I had a feeling there were about twelve of us excluding the master. In the dream, we were discussing about some spiritual matters about how soul travels.
While discussing about that, we saw an ice cream sales man passing us by. The master turned towards him and asked, 'Who is going to buy me ice-cream?' He pointed towards one of the student and said, 'Ok, you'.
The student followed the master with a biscuit in his hand to give the ice cream sales man and buy an ice cream. When the man received the round biscuit which looked like deep golden color coin, he twisted it and looked at it. Meanwhile, the master went to the back of the ice cream cart. Than this ice cream man left quickly. He didn't give us a chance to speak.
Than the master told us that he was suppose to tell him, 'When he (we) die it would be too late', but I saw the master leaving the book 'How I learned Soul Travel' and some other documents which looks like brochures behind the ice cream man's cart. The master face appeared as if sad.
I ended the dream with that last sentence because I couldn't recall more. The point I am relating this dream and the dream I dreamt last night is to point out some important truths to you. First, we can and do get spiritual guidance from our dreams and learn to solve our immediate problems in life. Second, through the dream I am learning the value of not procrastinating what we are supposed to do in life.
Through the dream the master is reminding me that time really waits for no man. If you wait until you die it will be too late. Life is like that. When truth is given to us, so many of us take it for granted and waste our time instead of doing what is important. We procrastinate as if there is always time forgetting that future is only a probability. It may never come after tonight.
We all live by hope, but the truth is hope can never save us from reality and the reality is sooner or later, we all will have to face the reality of death. It's coming, but one should not fear it. The question is however; why not spend our life doing something matters now instead of waiting for tomorrow? What's worth doing and what isn't? Why not live our life to the fullest today as if there will never be a tomorrow? Why not be the best we can ever be today as if there will never be tomorrow?
What is important for me as I see it from the dream is simply, I should learn to die daily so when the actual time comes for me to leave this world permanently, I will be prepared. Think about it. How many of us actually prepare to die? It does not mean you neglect your life. It only means, while doing all the important things in life, take the trouble to learn about the after life, and how you can prepare yourself here and now for the world hereafter.
If you wait until you die, it will be too late. If you wait for the sky to come down, it will never come. Don't waste your time waiting for something that will never come. It's time to reconsider your goals in life and do something that really matters in life.

What It Means to Be A Natural Product
Those of you who have used the RESCUE Serum for a few years now have seen something that you don't traditionally see with mass produced skincare, small changes or variances in the color of our serum from batch to batch. This is proof positive that RESCUE practices what it preaches, so to speak. When RESCUE says it uses only the best natural ingredients from the best sources, it also means that those ingredients can have significant variance in color due to seasonality of harvest and also location.
In other words, the quality of our ingredients as well as the vendors who supply them are far more important to us than the color. While many skincare companies go to great lengths to artificially color their products to achieve a pigment or hue that is trending or in fashion, we don't believe in practicing that approach. We believe in making the best product, with the best sourced ingredients at the time we manufacture. What we may sacrifice in color consistency, we more than make up for in efficacy of product. RESCUE's practice of not unnaturally altering our product is more important now than ever before, specifically as we create larger batches. Our focus from the beginning was to create the best performing naturally-based rejuvenating skincare formulations, period. We will not deviate from the approach, and hope you as our customer appreciate the thoughtfulness that goes into every batch of RESCUE.

Not everyone can see a property for what it is. Even fewer can see it for what it could be. But Realtor Golnar Ghezelbash is one of the gifted. Through her unique vision, she helps clients find better living through well-designed spaces.
While Golnar's talent may be exceptional, her story sounds all too unfamiliar. When the pull of a demanding career and a busy home life lead the architectural designer to crave a better balance, she decided on a career change. "Being an integral part of projects in architecture is rewarding, but demanding," she said. "I wanted flexibility, variety, and less stress. I wanted to be able to spend more time with my kids and be present for them."
So after 15 years, Golnar left behind the glitz of high-end hospitality and mixed-use projects. After spending several years investing in real estate industry, she now lends her expert eye for design to the team at David Griffin & Company Realtors.

DALE STILL ROLLING: Keegan Dale went 1-for-3 at Cal Poly and started at first base on Apr. 19. That was the start of his current 18-game hitting streak, the best streak by a Titan this season. He went 2-for-4 with a career-high four RBI in the Titans 17-3 victory over USC on Tuesday. He also scored two runs. During the 18-game hit streak, Dale is batting .339 with a 11 walks and .444 on-base percentage. He's also scored 14 runs, the most by any Titans player during that stretch.
WILLIAMSON GETTING ON BASE: Outfielder Clay Williamson has been an on-base machine for the Titans over the last month. He has reached base safely in 24 consecutive games, the longest streak by a Titans player this season. He had a 13-game hitting streak at one point and during that 24-game streak, Williamson is batting .330 with 29 hits, 10 walks and a .434 on-base percentage. He's also been hit by seven pitches and has two triples.
CATCHING FIRE: Catcher Jared Deacon has been on a tear in his last six games. He is 8-for-16 during that stretch with three multi-hit games. He started the Titans rally against UC Irvine on Saturday that led to Deacon scoring the game-tying run in the ninth and then drove in the game-winning run in the 10th inning. He is currently on a four-game hitting streak, going 7-for-12 in that stretch.
EVERYBODY'S WORKING FOR THE WEEKEND: The Titans are currently tied for fifth in the nation with a 2.06 ERA from their weekend rotation of Thomas Eshelman (1.88), Justin Garza (2.90) and Grahamm Wiest (1.69).
BASEBALL AMERICA TOP-100 DRAFT PROSPECT: Titans third baseman Matt Chapman was listed as the No. 64 prospect for the upcoming MLB Draft by Baseball America on May 14. Chapman has been on a roll for the Titans of late, picking up his batting average to .322 after having it slip to .261 on Apr. 4. Since then, Chapman is 34-for-88 (.386) in 25 games with a .625 slugging percentage and .482 on-base percentage. He has three home runs in that stretch to go along with eight extra-base hits and 24 RBIs.
COMEBACK KIDS: During their current four-game winning streak, the Titans have mounted comebacks in three of those wins. They defeated UC Irvine with a pair of late inning comebacks, overcoming a one-run deficit in the ninth on Saturday and then scoring three times in the eighth inning on Saturday to erase a two-run deficit. Prior to those two victories, the Titans were 0-15 when trailing after the sixth inning.
On Tuesday, the Titans fell behind 3-0 in the first inning and then scored 17 unanswered runs to defeat USC at Goodwin Field. It was the first time Cal State Fullerton had overcome a three-run deficit all season.
LIFE ON THE EDGE: The Titans have played 25 one-run games this season, the most in the nation. They currently hold a 12-13 record in those games after winning two straight one-run decisions at UC Irvine.
QUALITY WORK: The Titans have had 33 quality starts by their starting pitching this season. Thomas Eshelman leads the group with 12 while Grahamm Wiest is close behind with 10 outings of going at least six innings and allowing three runs or less.
NO FREE PASSES HERE: Through games played up to May 18, the Titans pitching staff has made sure to pound the strike zone. Cal State Fullerton's pitching ranks No. 1 in the nation in walks allowed per nine innings, giving up just 1.48 free passes a game in 474.1 innings pitched. Houston is second with a 1.73 walks per game average. In their sweep of Hawaii, Titans pitchers did not allow a walk for the first time in a three-game series this season and followed that with just one free pass in their series at Long Beach State the next week.
TOP-1O STAFF: The Cal State Fullerton pitching staff continues to impress as they are ranked in the top-10 of a number of categories. Along with leading the nation in walks allowed per nine innings, Titans pitching also ranks first in strikeout-to-walk ratio. The Titans have fanned 398 batters in 474 innings while allowing just 78 walks, a mark of 5.10. Houston ranks second with a 3.89 mark. The Titans are also ranked third in the nation in WHIP (1.02), and are third in the country with a 2.09 ERA.
WORKING OVERTIME: The Titans played their 11th extra-inning game of the season on Saturday, defeating UC Irvine in 10 innings. The 11 extra-inning games are the most played by a Titans squad since the 2004 National Championship team played seven. They are currently 5-6 in extra-inning games this season. In addition, the Titans have played the longest game in the program's recorded history (19 innings on Feb. 21 vs. San Francisco). The Titans have also played 36 extra frames in 2014, the equivalent of four full games.
GOLDEN SPIKES WATCH: Thomas Eshelman was named to the 30-man Golden Spikes Watch List last week, putting him one step closer to nabbing the award for the top amateur baseball player in the country. Last year, the Carlsbad, Calif. native was named a semifinalist for the award. Eshelman is currently having one of the greatest seasons by a Cal State Fullerton pitcher. He is currently ranked No. 1 in the nation in strikeout-to-walk ratio (27.00) and walks allowed per nine innings (0.26). He is also ranked ninth in the nation in WHIP (0.83) and seventh in the country with five complete games. Both of those marks rank third and first in the Big West respectively.
GIVE THEM A 10: Thomas Eshelman became the first Titans pitcher to toss 10 innings since Jason Windsor did so in a 2-1 victory over Jared Weaver and Long Beach State on May 21, 2004. Eshelman tossed a complete-game shutout in the team's 10-inning walk-off victory over Hawaii on Friday night. Two days later, Grahamm Wiest followed Eshelman's lead as the red-shirt junior went 10 frames and throwing just 106 pitches in the process.

That is an easy question to answer, tough to stomach, that I've been having a rough time with myself. The bottom line is that farm land costs too much, and to convert it into a rehab farm for homeless families with transportation and a manager costs far more than anyone might think.

Very long hours and intense workloads driven by 24/7 demands from retailers are putting British people off taking jobs in the farming sector, according to leading charity Sustain.
The group, which represents almost 100 food and farming organisations, made the suggestion in its response to the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Select Committee's re-opened inquiry into the agricultural labour market.
The submission also highlighted low wages; a lack of progression and development; isolation; poor housing; a failure to provide holiday pay; inadequate provision for sickness and retirement and a weak health and safety record as issues which made the industry unattractive to domestic workers.
Ministers were criticised for 'neglecting' these problems and focusing all their attention on automisation and agri-tech.
"The demands now required are incompatible with family life for the UK workers who historically used to undertake much of this work", Sustain's response to the inquiry read.
"In one instance, a couple from Lincolnshire who used to undertake seasonal, horticultural work at a time when it could be fitted around school timetables and holidays, and other family life demands, said they could no longer do this work because the hours being required in response to 24/7 demands from retailers no longer offered any flexibility."
The group has called on the Government to invest in marketing and 'better food production' which creates rewarding employment, rather than just promoting agri-technology and encouraging trade patterns which tend to import high-labour products and export low labour products.
It has also suggested farmers and growers should have to provide workers with decent pay and conditions in order to take advantage of any future support scheme and demanded the reinstatement of the Agricultural Wages Board (AWB), pointing out 63 per cent of the responses to the consultation to abolish it did not want to see it closed down.
"When the Government removed the Agricultural Wages Board (AWB) in England in 2013, they removed a fair and effective means by which farmers and land managers could agree annual wages, with grades and additional issues such as overtime, housing and sick pay", the group said.
"The removal of the burden of negotiation allowed farmers more time to do other work and resulted in less conflict. Farmers now have to individually enter into negotiation with employees whom they have to work beside day-to-day, and this uneven employment relationship is worsened by isolation."
It is estimated a third of the global population work in agriculture - making it the single largest employer in the world.

My mindset for 2015
I like making new mindsets every start of the year. Start of the year is my clean slate, fresh start. These mindsets are in my prayers everyday. They align my heart and mind to God. This coming year, these are the mindsets that I will carry.
1.) Only Jesus will truly satisfy.
2.) Remove all encumbrances and the sin that so easily entangles. Run the race. (Hebrews 12:1)
3.) Be thankful, enjoy what God has given me today. Live in the present. (Ecclesiastes 5:12,18-20)
4.) Trust that God has great plans for me. (Proverbs 3:5-6)
5.) Even through the hardship, God is right there beside me.
6.) Let my light shine before men.
7.) As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
1. Only Jesus will truly satisfy.
Our guest pastor in CCF last November 30, 2014 mentioned this -- that life is not about us, it is about God. If you would look at:
Ezekiel 4:4-7 (NIV)
4 "Then lie on your left side and put the sin of the people of Israel upon yourself. You are to bear their sin for the number of days you lie on your side. 5 I have assigned you the same number of days as the years of their sin. So for 390 days you will bear the sin of the people of Israel.
6 "After you have finished this, lie down again, this time on your right side, and bear the sin of the people of Judah. I have assigned you 40 days, a day for each year. 7 Turn your face toward the siege of Jerusalem and with bared arm prophesy against her. 8 I will tie you up with ropes so that you cannot turn from one side to the other until you have finished the days of your siege.
Truly, this is a meaningless use of someone's time. For more than a year, prophet Ezekiel was to just lie on his side. This clearly demonstrates that life is not about what I want to do, what I want to acheive, but it is about God, it is about what He wants me to do. This is not just a one time incident in the bible. Prophet Hosea married a prostitute named Gomer as commanded by God. Not only that, God clearly said that Gomer would be unfaithful to him. And Hosea obeyed God.
There are commandments by God that do not make sense, and if I am thinking that life is about me, I will be dissappointed. Life is about God. Don't get me wrong. I am not saying God is a sadistic and cruel God and that He doesn't love us. I truly believe that God loves us, He gave us His only son, Jesus Christ -- His most precious. What I am saying is, life is not about me, it is about God.
More importantly, nothing in this world will truly satisfy us. A brand new car will not solve your problems. The most beautiful wife will not satisfy. A high paycheck will still be short.
Ecclesiastes 5:12
The sleep of a laborer is sweet, whether they eat little or much, but as for the rich, their abundance permits them no sleep.
Only Jesus will truly, truly satisfy.
Matthew 16:25
For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.
2. Remove all encumbrances, and the sin that so easily entangles
Hebrews 12:1 (NIV)
12 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,
My life verse verse before has always been Philippians 3:13. It says, "Forget what lies behind, and strain toward what is ahead" (Bryan's version from memory). But for me, this verse is already a post-sin verse -- a reminder to move forward after you have done wrong.
When one of my brothers in Christ shared a devo, he shared about this verses. And it reminded me that I have many encumbrances, and I let my favorite sin entangle me a lot of time. I have to change my mindset from a post-sin to prior to sinning. From the registry of official life verse in heaven, I am officially changing my life verse to Hebrews 12:1 (I'm kidding, there is no registry of official life verse anywhere).
3. Be thankful, enjoy what God has given you today. Live in the present.
Ecclesiastes 5:12,18-20
12 People who work hard sleep well, whether they eat little or much. But the rich seldom get a good night's sleep.
18 Even so, I have noticed one thing, at least, that is good. It is good for people to eat, drink, and enjoy their work under the sun during the short life God has given them, and to accept their lot in life. 19 And it is a good thing to receive wealth from God and the good health to enjoy it. To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life—this is indeed a gift from God. 20 God keeps such people so busy enjoying life that they take no time to brood over the past.
I always wondered, "Lord, I serve you naman", "All my major life decisions has been always about following you", since I do these things, I am hoping you will bless me. Sometimes, my heart grows unthankful because of these expectations that are not met by God. This verse has reminded me that I should live in the present, and not in the past nor the future. Enjoy the moment I am currently in, not thinking about what I will do next. And this is my prayer, that I would have a content heart. Thanking God, enjoying everything He has given me -- my family, Vannie, work, and ministry.
4.) Trust that God has great plans for me.
Proverbs 3:5-6
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.
Many times, I have been asking God if I am currently in the right place, or should I be someplace else, doing something else. But the Lord is leading to stay, and trust that God has plans for me.
5.) Even through the hardship, God is right there beside me.
Before migrating IOM's global website to Drupal, our previous technology stack was always having problems. It was always going down. It was one of my most trying time in IOM. But when we finally switched to Drupal, it was infinitely better! I hindsight, I realized that even through the hardship, God was with me. The problem was there, but he is with me all along, going through the problem.
Matthew 28:20
20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
6. Let my light shine before men.
Matthew 5:14-16
14 "You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
I have been a shy person during my stay IOM. I was not the one greeting other people first. I was not proactively being warm and welcoming to other people. I am not let my light shine before men. This is a reminder for me to go out of my comfort zone, and intentionally spend time with officemates.
7.) As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
Joshua 24:15
But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD."
There will be decisions in my life that I will be taking that will not be understood by others. This mindset will remind me, that ultimately, my number one goal is to please Jesus Christ, even if it is the most unpopular decision.

Luciano Moggi
Luciano Moggi (Italian pronunciation: [luˈtʃaːno ˈmɔddʒi]; born 10 July 1937 in Monticiano, Italy) is a former Italian football administrator.[1]
Moggi was born in Monticiano, in the province of Siena.
He worked as a railway station caretaker until the early 1970s, when he met Italo Allodi, then Juventus' managing director, who appointed him to minor roles at the club.
Before being called as chief managing director by Juventus in 1994, he worked for and collaborated with several teams, such as Torino, Napoli, Roma and Lazio. He has a son Alessandro, who works as an agent for several football players and managers. He is head of GEA World, a consortium of football agents and managers, which the company and Alessandro were ranked the first by volume from 2002 to 2006.[2]
In 2006, he was the main figure involved in a football scandal, after the publication of several wiretappings in which he suggested and asked for particular referees' names to Pierluigi Pairetto, the former Italian referee nominator. The scandal, which also involved his son, undermined the figure of Moggi, and fueled several inquiries by the judicial courts of Rome and Naples. As a consequence of the scandal, the Italian Football Federation president Franco Carraro and the president of the Italian Referee Association both resigned. As for Moggi, after the 2006 season's final match of his team against Reggina, he announced that he would resign from his position and would retire from the world of football altogether:[3]
He continues to make observations on the Serie A on the newspaper Libero[4] and the local television channel Telecapri Sport.
Since 2011 collaborates with Radio Manà Manà.[5]
Personal views[edit]
Moggi has spoken out against gay footballers, saying that: "A homosexual can't fulfil the job of a footballer. I wouldn't put one under contract and if I discovered I had one, he would fly immediately."[6]

Audience today called themselves 'Middle England' although we had visitors from Germany and USA. I'm sure Mrs Moneypenny suspected I had planted AGA lovers in the front row - I hasten to say they were bone fida visitors who had (I thought) very intelligent questions; what oven are you using, can we look in the AGA 'fridge. Mrs M gently chided too much 'product placement' ladies!
Our cream 4 oven AGA in the cookery theatre, or Mrs M's kitchen for the month of August, as expected performs perfectly on each occasion. Meringues are being produced in most colours representing colours in the flags of the visitors.
Thirty meringue nests per plain shelf is an amazing number, especially if you are catering for numbers. Filled with crème fraiche, as a change from whipped cream and topped with fresh fruit certainly go down well. Tropical variations are sprinkled with freeze dried mango.
Apart from cooking up amazing food the AGA kitchen has many more uses, it is a social hub, people magnet and here is Mrs M catching up on her emails - I wonder if this is Saturday's FT column?

What a difference Virginia Madsen makes. For the majority of Hell on Wheels' run, it seems like the show has had difficulty pinning down two of its more integral characters in Durant (Colm Meaney) and Lily Bell (Dominique McElligott). Now, with the simple addition of the talented Madsen as Durant's wife Hannah, the two are better framed against the backdrop of corruption and bitter jealously.
After a rather strong episode last week in which Durant played no direct part, but his presence was still largely felt in the actions of Lily, Bohannon (Anson Mount) and the Swede (Christopher Heyerdahl), 'The Lord's Day' sees fit to bring the railroad man back to the town that he built, to potentially spell ruin for someone he purported to care about.
As season 2 draws to a close, Hell on Wheels has brought in director Rod Lurie (The Contender, Straw Dogs) to helm an effective episode that sets up the season's two-hour finale next week. 'The Lord's Day' manages to surprise with some revelations about Bohannon's "breeding" and connections he made in Meridian before circumstances sent him out West. In addition to some revelatory dinner conversation, the episode also features Bohannon's awesomely casual, yet ominous torching of the Swede's belongings.
Much of the episode concerns the ramifications of what Lily and the Swede found while going over Durant's books. As the Swede mentioned, it's fraud, but what is there that anyone can, or even wants to do about it? Not taking any chances, the Durants decide that Lily's fate lies elsewhere. Unless, of course, the discussion Durant had with Elam (Common) was a simple negotiation leading to a dead Lily Bell in exchange for the land Elam's already putting a house on. This paints the Durants as particularly ruthless, seeing as how Lily helped keep the railroad from going under while Durant recuperated from his injuries. It also shows just how fragile Lily's circumstances are – considering the fact that she's a woman in a place with very little respect for them, and that she really has nothing else beyond her questionable employment with Durant's railroad.
Durant slogs through town, hopped up on opiates and leaning heavily on his cane, but manages what sounds like a threat to Sean McGinnes (Ben Esler) – who, like everybody else, may have been counting on Mr. Durant succumbing to his injuries. Not long after Durant was whisked away, his return may have initially restored normalcy, but considering things have more or less run smoothly in his absence, there's been a change in priorities for some folks in town. Lily's carrying on with Bohannon, Elam is happily unemployed, and the McGinnes brothers are free to swindle honest folks out of their bars and use Durant's land as a means of currency to accomplish such feats of malfeasance. Now, with Durant back in town, there's the sense that a certain comeuppance is due for all the changes that have happened while he wasn't looking.
The dinner scene could be the best part of the season. Hannah's questioning of Bohannon's past, and the revelation that his former father-in-law was a friend of the Durants puts him in a strange place while Doc and Hannah essentially begin phase one of pushing Lily out. One of the nice touches of the scene is watching Bohannon go from slouched roughneck to someone who's simply been hiding traces of his civility (why he even knows how to properly use utensils at the table). It's unclear whether Hannah or Thomas take note, or what they would even do with such a realization, but then again, this surprising addition to the tenacity of Durant seems to leave everyone off-guard.
Hannah later goes after Lily on her own, revealing she's aware of the particular arrangement she had with Durant, but doesn't seem particularly concerned by it – apparently, there have been others. Still, Hannah manages to kick Lily out of her train car in a rather heartless way, leaving the younger woman to gather her belongings and wind up putting Bohannon out of his quarters. In a touching scene, she suggests the two could just stay in Bohannon's car together, but he gently reminds Lily it's best not to test a man who is jealous or afraid for his livelihood – two things which pretty much sum up Durant's state of mind.
And while the Durants work on just how they'll push Lily out (or possibly kill her), the Swede fires another attack in his the war against the railroad. By sabotaging a steam engine, he manages to maim or kill several of the workers struggling to erect the bridge, but he does so by leaving a very telling calling card behind. At this point, there's no turning back for him or Bohannon, so the search is on for just where the crazy Norwegian ran off to after the bridge accident.
Tellingly, Joseph (Eddie Spears) returns to camp to offer Ruth (Kasha Kropinski) some supplies, and to warn her that death is coming. Joseph's seen his fair share of it lately, but as he claims to have seen the White Spirit, his words feel particularly portentous. Furthermore, Joseph's presence give credibility to Mickey's (Phil Burke) claim that Sean's intentions for Ruth are misguided, and help carry over to the rather worrisome confrontation the two share near the episode's end.
All of 'The Lord's Day' points to a potentially dark and unsettling two-hour finale next week, wherein, hopefully, many of the last two season's worth of plotlines manage to come together.
Hell on Wheels closes out season 2 next Sunday with 'Blood Moon' @9pm on AMC. Check out a sneak peek of the episode below:

Gramona Gra a Gra Pinot Noir
INFORMATION OF INTEREST Gramona Gra a Gra Pinot Noir 2012
Colour: Brilliant, inspirited in cherry, with a bright flash.
Aroma: We are led by its vital signs, from a variant complexity, evoking berries, jams, jellies, field flowers and healing herbs. Sometimes dense, sometimes ethereal.
Taste: In movement but maintaining the centre of life thanks to the tannic and neat structure; enriched softness by a fresh steam, due to its acidity. The content in sugar seems almost gelatine, evolving and caressing. In cup is molded wisely, broadening the aromatic scope.
Confectionary based in berries, crème brulée among others.
Some receipts: Filled strawberries, recuit sundae and strawberries with Gra a Gra topping.
Gramona is the union of two families linked to the world of wine: Batlle and Gramona . The first were a family of winegrowers and winemakers established in Sant Sadurní. The latter, trained as winemakers in the early twentieth century, have given name to the company, today considered one of the most prestigious in the world of cava. Currently, it is the fifth generation of the Gramona - Batlle, Jaume and Xavier, responsible for managing the winery and continue to develop in the traditional champagne method, passing from generation to generation, the love of the land and the vine of their ancestors. His last step was the modernization of the Celler Batlle, making it a futuristic cellar built under the vines, with capacity to further develop some of the finest champagnes and wines from Spain.

Summary – How Parkinson's Law helps you get things done.
I've learnt about Parkinson's Law way back when I was a student. Back then it was just like any other things that came out from my lecturer's mouth – Incomprehensible meaningless words. There's nothing wrong with him or his lectures, it's just me. I've learnt my lesson though.
Parkinson's Law if used correctly, will ensure that any work that need to be done WILL be done. If the deadline is 1 hour, you will finish it in 65 minutes top. Interested?
Parkinson's Law – The What
Parkinson's Law says that – Work expands to fill the time available for its completion.
It basically means that if you are supposed to write a 10 pages report and you set the deadline to be 2 days. It will most probably be finished in 2 days. According to Parkinson, the work will expand itself to adjust to the deadline you have set. You will start feeling the need for a more thorough research about the topic, maybe an interview or a good time spent googling. The simple 10 pages work has now expand itself to fill up the vacancy in the 2 days period.
Now that is an example of a really motivated and productive guy. Imagine what will happen to a person whose nickname is The Laziest Person On The Planet. He will start surfing the internet, watching television in the name of research, take few long nap to refresh his mind from God knows what. In the end, the 10 pages report will still only be finished after the 2 days deadline (even though based on the attitude, it will be very unlikely)
Exactly after 2 days, both of them (productive guy and lazy guy) will claim that the work done is very hard and it requires the full 2 days just to finish it.
Now this is where it become interesting. Try assigning the same work to another guy and set the deadline to be only 1 day. I can guarantee you that the work will still be finished by the deadline with almost no difference in quality (Of course we are comparing between two productive guys)
The Unspoken Law of Parkinson's Law
1) Know the limits of low and high.
You cannot finish writing a 10 pages report in 10 minutes. That is stretching the law and you will only end up more frustrated, tense and most probably become another statistic of hypertension cases.
Experiment with the law. Let say you manage to finish the report in 2 days. Bravo! now let's try 1.5 days. Do this until you know for certain what's your low and high limit to Parkinson's Law
2) Keep track.
This is actually covered in point number 1, but I think it is so important that it deserve a number too. Always keep track when you are doing the experiment. It will be a waste of time when you have done all the experiment to get your optimized deadline data but forget all about it in a year or two. Keep a book, and record everything until you can have the following conversation with your client
Client – Can you optimize the SEO of my blog for me?
You – Not a problem.
Client – When can I expect it to be finished?
You – 47 minutes.
3) Buy a timer
Now why do we need a timer when we are this motivated? The reason is because there is an unmotivated section of your mind which is equally strong, and usually it is so much smarter than your motivated section.
When you are doing your work, your unmotivated section of your mind will start to sabotage the process. Typical example is when you start to forget how much time you still have before the deadline. This is where the timer comes in. Set the sound of the timer to be as refreshingly painful as possible.
A no brainer but really, why we bother come up with a deadline if we have no idea where we are at anytime.
4) Answer to someone.
Find yourself a few friends to help you. Give them the authority to check on your progress. Now imagine that they are THE boss. I'm very sure that the work will be finished in no time. It always work for me (But with real boss)
Email them the details of your work. Maybe ask them to call you after every one hour and you must report how many pages have been done. Of course you will need to reimburse the call charges later.
The only problem with this is when the boss apprently is the laziest person in the group. You know what to do right? Fire your boss. This is the only time in your life you will be able to do this 🙂
5) Know other forms of work expansion
You set the deadline for two days, and you finish it in one. By right you have proven Parkinson wrong and that the work is not expanding. However the work does expand but this time it will be in other forms such as anxiety (wondering what if the report is rejected), or no satisfaction (You feel like starting over) or tense (arghhh)
By knowing this fact, you can save yourself a lot of therapy session in the future.
And by knowing all the 5 unspoken laws, you are finally ready to experience the full benefit of Parkinson's Law. In another word.. your work is guaranteed done.
– I wonder –
Care to share your techniques to get things done?
———— Personal Note —————
The previous 1 week has been a very hectic week for me. VIPs were visitting the mill and you know that number infinity people keep talking about. I have that exact number of works need to be done 🙂
That was when I remembered this technique. Now the number of balance work I need to do is roughly infinity minus a few hundres.

Fans Will Not Be Happy About This Male R&B Singer Calling Out Beyoncé, SZA And Cardi B
"Stop using that f**king pain to make it OK to say some bullsh** on your record and get nominated for a Grammy..."
It's sounding like a lot of tactics the COINTELPRO used against the Black Panther Party are being re-introduced to target rappers; or at least, that used to be the case.
Vice recently uncovered a 1999 file on the Wu-Tang Clan revealing the FBI's plans to spy on both the Staten Island collective and other groups. The files show that their monitoring focused specifically on what was going on within the culture and the community. It also reveals their disdain that apparently began since hip-hop's birth.
In 1989 the FBI sent out a letter to Priority Records President Brian Turner, which reportedly states that their song "F**k Tha Police" was blatant disrespect to the police and all officers in the line of duty. Then dubbed the "Hip-Hop Police" their organization supposedly then grew that file to include surveillance on all rap groups with descriptions of gang activity in their lyrics. The Wu were apparently public enemy number 1 on that list.
Filed under the name "WTC" the then nine-member group had a 95-page file on them. The FBI worked alongside the NYPD in an attempt to diminish the Clan, however no charges were ever pressed against them. One surprising file though suggests RZA ordered the death of two drug dealers who had involvement with Raekwon. The full group was classified as a "major criminal organization" and was being investigated for allegations of drug dealing, gang ties and murder.
Even after all of this, the Wu remained untouched, because even the FBI knows Wu-Tang Clan ain't nothin' to f**k with. Check out Vice's full report here.

09 Aug Belizean Favorites – Escabeche
Posted at 19:55h in Ayinha News
Escabeche is a Mestizo influenced onion chicken soup. Here is the way my grandma cooks it. Hope you try it at home and enjoy it with your family and friends.
- 1 Whole Chicken
- 7 – 9 whole spice seeds
- 7 oregano leaves or 2 tsp crushed oregano
- 7 whole cloves
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- salt and pepper to taste
- 5 plugs garlic
- 4 lbs. onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup sour orange juice a little more or less depending on your taste (if you are unable to get the fresh sour orange juice, you may use white vinegar)
- 1 can jalapeno peppers
- Habanero peppers (as many as you want)
- Rinse chicken with lime/vinegar and water.
- Season chicken with salt and pepper (you may add garlic powder I you are a garlic lover).
- Roast 5 garlic plugs in a comal or a pan
- Pour 7 cups water to cover chicken. Add all other dry ingredients EXCEPT sliced onions and sour orange juice/vinegar
- Cover and bring to boil and let chicken simmer in low heat for about 20 minutes.
- While the chicken is cooking. Put a kettle of water to boil. Peel and slice onions, pull apart the slices making loose onion rings, and place in a large bowl. When water is boiling pour this over the onions. Let it sit in this water for 3-5 minutes. Then drain and add to broth.
- Now, you can add sour orange, salt and pepper, jalapeno juice (all to taste). Cover and let it simmer for about 15 – 20 minutes. Remember, once you turn off the stove, put habanero peppers with stems so they can steam a little before you serve this delicious dish (you don't want them to burst open with the heat).
- Chicken should be cooked by now. Take it out of broth and place in a bowl to drain and cool off.
- If you are frying the chicken, heat 3 table spoons of oil (olive oil, regular cooking oil or butter – I love butter). Fry chicken for about 1 minute on each side. If you are grilling or baking the chicken, please be sure to have grill/oven preheated and rub chicken with some olive oil or butter. This helps to make it crispy.
Escabeche is best served hot with FRESH corn tortillas and an ice cold coke. To add spice, you can cut open the habanero pepper and enjoy the heat!
The perfect hangover meal!
Next time you visit us, be sure to ask our server for this tasty meal. I am sure you will enjoy it.

The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) is suggesting that osteoporosis patients limit their use of a popular line of drugs which includes Fosamax, Actonel and Boniva to between three and five years in order to reduce the risk of serious side effects. These medications belong to a controversial class of drugs known as bisphosphonates, which are designed to reduce the risk of bone fractures associated with the onset of osteoporosis. However, in recent years concerns have emerged linking bisphosphonates to serious atypical bone fractures, which often occur with little or no trauma at all.
Free Bisphosphonate Lawsuit Evaluation: If you or a loved one has been injured by a bisphosphonate drug, you should contact our law firm immediately. You may be entitled to compensation by filing a suit against the manufacturer of the bisphosphonate and we can help.
What's the problem?
June 28, 2012 – In a new web guide published by the FDA, the administration lays out new guidance for the use of bisphosphonates, tentatively recommending a three to five year time limit for the drugs, at least until more conclusive data becomes available.
The five-year time limit was originally suggested in a September 2011 report issued by the FDA, which concluded that there appears to be no tangible benefit to extending bisphosphonate regimens beyond five years. That report was submitted before an independent advisory committee to the administration met to assess the risks involved with long-term use of the drugs. Before the committee adjourned, the members voted to place enhanced bone fracture warnings on the labels of bisphosphonate medications, but they failed to finalize any definitive length-of-use recommendations.
"These drugs clearly work," said Dr. Marcea Whitaker, an FDA medical officer and co-author of a study on Fosamax recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM). "We just don't know yet the optimum period of time individual patients should be on the drug to both maximize its effectiveness and minimize potential risks."
In October 2010, the FDA issued a press release announcing that it was requiring updated warnings about the risk of atypical thigh fractures from bisphosphonate osteoporosis drugs. During an analysis of the potential side effects of the medications, the administration determined that the increased fracture risk seemed to be associated with the long-term use of bisphosphonates.
Pharmaceutical giant Merck & Co. is currently facing hundreds of Fosamax lawsuits filed in courthouses around the country on behalf of individuals who claim the company failed to adequately warn the public about the potential health risks linked to the medication. The complaints allege that Fosamax has the potential to weaken the femur bone's ability to repair itself from microdamage, thus increasing the risk of unanticipated low-impact fractures.
Do I Have a Bisphosphonate Lawsuit?
The Product Liability & Defective Drug Litigation Group at our law firm is an experienced team of trial lawyers that focus on the representation of plaintiffs in bisphosphonate lawsuits. We are handling individual litigation nationwide and currently accepting new side effects cases in all 50 states.
