God's Spirit
Lying in bed one morning restless with a heavy heart, I knew in my spirit God was asking something of me. I had felt His Spirit stirring in MY spirit for weeks, maybe even months. My priorities were all screwed up! I was doing things He did not want me to, and I was not doing the things He had asked me to do. The phrase I heard a lot during that time was, "Others may, you cannot!" At first He whispered ever so gently, but after ignoring that still small voice for some time, His voice grew louder and Louder and LOUDER! He is relentless in His pursuit of our hearts. He doesn't give up so easily. He is the ULTIMATE jealous Lover! He is jealous in the sense that He looks at me and says, "She is MINE! I will not share her with the world." He says to you, too, "You are Mine! I will not share you with the world!"God is the ULTIMATE jealous Lover! Click To Tweet
That's when I heard:
"I am NOT to be trifled with, Julie!"
Being the word girl that I am and knowing He specifically used the word "trifle," I looked up the definition just to make sure I absorbed every nuance of its meaning. To trifle with someone means, "to deal lightly or without due seriousness or respect" (Dictionary.com). I was trifling with His Spirit and His discipline in my life–I was quenching the Spirit (I Thessalonians 5:19). SCARY! He was no longer going to deal gently with me if I kept ignoring Him.
It's Your Choice
He was clearing away the cobwebs in my thinking and making it clear that I had a decision to make. Would I choose death, or would I choose life? He will always boil it down to either/or. It's our choice!
See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death and destruction. For I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and increase, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land you are entering to possess.
But if your heart turns away and you are not obedient, and if you are drawn away to bow down to other gods and worship them, I declare to you this day that you will certainly be destroyed. You will not live long in the land you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess.
This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Deuteronomy 30:15-20 NIV).
A friend and I were recently discussing this Scripture and the fact that He even had to say, "Now choose life." That indicates we will actually sometimes choose death. Who would actually say the words, "I choose death"? But our actions say it all the time. I guess left to our own, we would choose death again and again. Yet He always calls us to choose. Each and every day we have choices to make: Will they be for life and prosperity or death and destruction? Oftentimes, choosing LIFE feels like death because it is a death. It is crucifying our flesh. And oftentimes, choosing DEATH feels like life because there's pleasure in sin for a season. Sin promises BIG but delivers small.
He wants us to choose LIFE because that's where He is. He wants to be with us. He knows all else will break our hearts and leave us empty.
You Want Me to Do What???
While wrestling with Him in my spirit, He showed me a picture of an elephant and said,
Julie, that elephant is you!
Wow! Thanks, God!
I was a big, fat elephant, weighed down with all kinds of stuff: sin, bad attitudes, doubts, and a critical spirit. I was filling my empty places with things I thought would bring me fulfillment and satisfaction. It happened ever so subtly! My flesh did not want to give some of it up, but those things were lesser loves. God will not compete with my lesser loves. He wants all of me! (Read Hosea, especially chapter 2.)
As a big, fat elephant, God was asking me to squeeze through a tiny keyhole. Basically, He was giving me a visual of Matthew 7:13-14.
"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it" (Matthew 7:13-14 NIV).
I couldn't get through the keyhole without laying some things down and surrendering them to Him. But in His love for me, He would even show me how to lay those things down. He would help me if I let Him. He promised LIFE on the other side of the keyhole, but for some reason, I didn't trust Him. All I could see was all that I was letting go. He promised if I let go of everything I'm holding onto so tightly that He would bring me out into wide, open spaces where I would be free to enjoy what He provided without guilt. But…there was just one problem!
How would I, as a fat elephant, get through that tiny keyhole? If I could stand the pull, He promised He would pull me through. To be sure, it would be painful. It would require dying to myself: my wants, my desires, and my needs. You see, I had empty places that I looked to Him to fill at one time, but when He didn't fill them when or how I needed Him to, I started filling them on my own without Him. None of this was a conscious decision. Matter of fact, it felt like I was just drifting in life with my eyes closed.
Do you know that drifting feeling?
- You live on autopilot.
- Get up in the morning.
- Breathe in, breathe out.
- Take care of everyone else's needs all day long.
- Go to bed.
- Do it all again the next day.
- We are called to serve our families, but IN HIS STRENGTH! We will run out of our own.
"Get in the Circle With Me!"
I was still going to church, praying and even thinking about Scripture every so often. I was just going through the motions. He is in the Holy of Holies asking me to join Him. I was still on the outside looking in, while God was standing there the whole time asking me to get IN the circle WITH Him — no longer on the periphery. He was inviting me to another level of intimacy with Him I had not experienced before.
"Julie, you think you have life right now. You don't. You are filling yourself with things, people, and experiences that I have not appointed for your life. Some of them are not inherently sinful, but some of them are — and you know it. They will NEVER fill you like I can. Why won't you trust Me? Lay those things down once and for all! Get rid of the excess in your life–the excess that you are hoping will fill the empty places. TRUST Me! I know it seems that if you surrender all that to Me, you won't have anything left. But I can only fill empty vessels. You will be filled, but first you have to be emptied! Click To Tweet"
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us" (Hebrews 12:1 NLT).
He wants us to run our race well and finish strong, but we can't if we are carrying around extra weight that we were never meant to carry. Some things I didn't realize I was holding onto, but I knew they had a hold on me. I felt weighed down with all these burdens and things I was never meant to carry. Yet, what He was asking seemed too difficult.
Squeeze myself through a keyhole? No, thanks!
How Did I Get Here?
After walking with Jesus for 30 years, how did I get here?
The stress of life (financial difficulties, multiple job layoffs, a special needs son, another son's life-saving surgery at two weeks old, months in the NICU, marriage issues, a business venture we felt God called us to that never took off, etc.) had finally taken its toll. I had numbed out just living in survival mode. I was in a season of up and down hormones as well. I also found myself in a new season in life. About a year ago while I was still homeschooling my twins, I started noticing they didn't need me as much. Matter of fact, they were taking classes at the local college while they were juniors in high school. They didn't need me anymore — at least not in the way they did the previous years. I remember sitting at the dining room table one morning mindlessly scrolling through Facebook, and I thought, "Is this what my life is now going to look like? I'm sitting at the dining room table where I had sat for years teaching my boys, but only this time they aren't here." It was the perfect storm!
Wide, Open Spaces
I have to say I have not come out the other side completely yet. I'm stuck in the keyhole still, but He is still pulling me through. He never gives up on me! I'm laying things down as He so graciously puts a spotlight on them. He's given me glimpses of the future, and it's good because HE IS GOOD. He does all things well! The stresses of life will never go away, but I feel like I am beginning to not just survive, but to thrive as well.
Join me in the keyhole as we venture into the wide open spaces He has for us!
Other Scriptures on Wide Open Spaces:
- Romans 5:1-2 (The Message): "By entering through faith into what God has always wanted to do for us—set us right with him, make us fit for him—we have it all together with God because of our Master Jesus. And that's not all: We throw open our doors to God and discover at the same moment that he has already thrown open his door to us. We find ourselves standing where we always hoped we might stand—out in the wide open spaces of God's grace and glory, standing tall and shouting our praise."
- Psalm 119:45 (The Message): "And I'll stride freely through wide open spaces as I look for your truth and your wisdom."
- Job 36:15-16 (NIV): "He is wooing you from the jaws of distress to a spacious place free from restriction, to the comfort of your table laden with choice food."
- Have you found yourself drifting through life? He's calling for you. He wants you to get in the circle with Him and enjoy intimate fellowship with Him — the One Who knows you best. Don't settle for the lesser loves!
- Are you an elephant, too? What is it that is holding you back? What is it that is keeping you from going through the keyhole?
- Do you trust Him to let go of those things?
- What are some of the "lesser loves" in your life?
- Do you trust Him for what's on the other side? I promise it's good because He's good!
- Are you outside of the circle bumping into Him every now and then? Or are you IN the circle WITH Him enjoying intimacy with Him?
- How have you seen God relentlessly pursuing you? He doesn't pursue you to punish you for punishment's sake. He alone knows what is best for you, and He doesn't want you to go down a road other than the one with Him. His heart is FOR you!
Nothing we give up for Him will ever compare to what He has for us! They are lesser loves and will never satisfy like He can.
Finally, in the Circle,

My friends, it is the end of a Monday and my feet are propped up. It's that time of randomness between work's end and making dinner. Please don't check my spelling.
It has been a LOOOONG day, not for any sad or bad reasons, but just that life brings you tiredness sometimes.
Jack is coming along fine after his surgery with the exception that he's miserable in his crate and "cone of shame". He handled it like a champ for the first two days, happy to nap out in the privacy, but now – he's OVER IT. The most Zen dog I know is OVER IT, with the stored up OVER-IT-NESS of 11 years. The barking and whining. OH. MY. GOD. Harder on him than me, I know, but still hard for everyone in the house. Which is what brings me to today, and the repeated barking fits throughout the night that left everyone in the place a bit groggy this morning.
On top of which, I got something in my eye last night that just would. not. give. up. for several hours and repeated eye rinsing. Swollen, puffy eyes laced with gunk. Sexy.
When you wake up after little sleep, with one eye gunked shut and your brain not even thinking of firing, you reach for your fat day clothes to wear to work.
That's what today was – frumpy, fat pants, red-eyed, little-to-no makeup and half-asleep Monday. Somehow I still managed to smile and say hello and be nice to a lot of people today, but yuck. I was not feeling good in my skin.
Then I saw it. The most perfect thing for the day. A selfie my friend had taken and had the balls to post on Facebook. Like nothing I have ever seen.
First, let me tell you. My friend, she's beautiful. In the "traditional sense" – blonde, blue-eyed, gorgeous. As if that's not enough, she also has an impeccable sense of style. When I see her, she is usually put together with precision. Then there's the wicked sense of humor. One of those women that just strikes you as flawless, except in a completely relatable, good friend kind of way.
Today, there was this woman. With the hair going all…and the expression going all…there just aren't words. In the land of Monday morning selfies, this one wins the internet. Just holy shit y'all. No makeup. Pajamas. If feral can be done 'precisely', my girl nailed it. I saw this picture, and I just laughed. A whole rest of the day later and I'm still laughing about it. Not because she looked awful, because in some weird way, she didn't. But because in an even weirder way, even though I'd put on my fat work pants and cleaned myself up a bit, that picture summed up everything about how I still felt inside my skin. If I looked in the mirror, and saw my true self reflected back, it would have looked back at me with wild morning hair and an expression of …I still can't articulate the expression well enough. Something like, You're going to get my 100% today, but just so you know, this is what my 100% looks like. So on with it.
I love that she had the nerve to post that. In smiling at that and seeing that, it reminded me that we all are in this struggle together. And we should laugh at it.
Fast forward from the morning selfie, and an errand took me to the Downtown yoga studio where I teach. Just to pass through. Being tired, I also passed through the coffee shop down the street to grab a latte. The girl behind the counter had this shockingly red hair – shocking to the point that I could guess some would have comment about it. My corporate environment for one, would not welcome this look if I showed up that way. In talking about the weather, the humidity, she mentioned something about the color running. We spent a good 5-10 minutes talking about the natural dye she used and how she got her hair that color and other colors it had been. An easy, natural conversation happening in a way that doesn't occur all that often with a complete stranger. And I thought to myself, ya know, I bet this girl takes a lot of heat over that hair color but if you take a moment to just take in the whole, she's really beautiful. Clever makeup, a goth twist to her look, but so friendly and open. Our discussion got onto the topic of the perception of beauty and I said to her that what I would really like would be if the world would just get rid of the phrase –
She'd be pretty if…
If she lost 10 pounds or 30 pounds or 100 pounds. If she cut her hair different. If she waxed her lip. If she smiled more. If she dressed differently. If if if.
My god, can we stop with the IF? Or the WOULD BE?
When your friend can laugh at her feral Monday hair enough to share it with the world, that's beautiful. She IS beautiful, as is, no photoshop.
When your barista can smile at you and talk about how she got a shade of red that you don't have the courage for, she IS beautiful.
We're all beautiful, even on the rough days when we've had no sleep and even detest our fat pants.
Without the if's or the would be's, we're beautiful.
Peeps, please take a second for yourself, wherever you be in your skin, and just let yourself feel beautiful for a moment.
Because you are. Just as your are.
We're beautiful.

DRIVEN: BMW X3 xDrive20d
Launched late 2017 we were lucky to attend the media launch of the all-new BMW X3. We were lucky to drive the most powerful petrol and diesel on offer which is the M40i and xDrive30d.

The Rohan Barrow Wraith is a hostile undead mob that inhabit Rohan Barrows. They spawn with a harsh shrieking noise when players attempt to open the chest inside the barrow for the first time.
They carry Rohirric Swords and wear Rohirric Marshal Armour minus the helmet. These are the only visible differences they have from an ordinary vanilla skeleton, besides the absence of a bow.
Behavior Edit
These mobs are very similar to other wraiths, as killing them does not affect your alignment whatsoever. Because they are undead, they are affected by the smite enchantment and Wraithbane modifier. This mob will attack any player regardless of their alignment and will also attack other wraiths (Gondor, Harad), spiders (Mordor, Mirkwood), and a variety of other mobs.
Drops Edit
When killed, they will drop 0 to 5 bones. They may also rarely drop their equipment.

- "To call a mistake a mistake is a bigger mistake.
It is never a mistake. It is a deliberate act.
It is a decision, and must be acknowledged and faced as a decision."
- "The ego itself is the evil and the devil. The entire game of duality is the evil. To think that one has a choice and a decision is evil. Seated in the ego, whatever you do – care, passion, love, service – all is evil."
- "Only a spiritual mind can know the smallest right decision. That is our tragedy: an irreligious mind cannot take even the smallest decision rightly. His life is just a melancholy tale of an uninterrupted series of tragedies.
Only a spiritual mind can take a right decision – big or small."
- "Just see clearly, and there would be no need for decisions."
- "How you have been spending your time decides whether you can move into the timeless. Choose to spend your time wisely, and then your spontaneous response will shape up."
- "The quality of this moment decides the quality of life.
If this is life, then the worthiness of this moment is the worthiness of life."
- "Just as we are two – we operate from two centers – similarly, there are two evils and two virtues as well.
One evil is that the ego calls as evil. It is the dual companion and shadow of good.
However, the real evil is not what the ego decides as evil. The real evil is that the ego decides."
- "The really good comes to you from very unknown place. It does not come because you called it. It does not come because you drafted it. It does not come because you had anything to do with it.
The really good, the right action, meeting the wise one, entering the True – that happens on its own.
On its own, and is prepared to happen all the time, provided – you do not become an authority on your own; provided – you do not become the judge; provided – you do not become the decision–maker and the actor."
- "To understand the ego is also to get rid of the ego. To get rid of the ego is to find yourself out and become a free man. And only a free man takes right decisions in life, with respect to livelihood, with respect to every small thing he or she does day in and day out. The quality of your mind determines the quality of your life. The freedom of your mind is the freedom of your life."
- "A situation is a challenge only when you feel something about you is at stake.
A thing becomes a problem only if you have something at stake, only when you feel that the external input, the external stimulus has the power to take something from you.
One unnecessarily believes himself to be a handicap, and a challenge, or a problem comes in the form a thief and the thief takes away your crutches. And you suddenly discover that you can walk, not just walk, that you can even run.
You have to value peace. You must know the value of peace. You have to come to the fact that peace is invaluable.
And if you do not come to this fact, if you do not make the right decision, then the penalty is that you will suffer."
- "The decision to dissolve is apparently a personal decision, but it is not rooted in the person."
- "In awareness, your decisions come from nowhere and they are right and wrong for nobody."
- "In awareness, you decide in peace.In peace, peace is the decision."
- "When, even if for a while, you can see, what it means to place your peace out of yourself, then in that moment, you just lose the energy to be addicted."
- "The right decision is never a decision. The right decision is a spontaneous happening."
- "The fact is that if all these pros and cons are so clear to you, then there is no need of a decision. The solution would have presented itself automatically."
- "Decide without owning the decision."
- "You already know. There is nobody who does not know."

"I've been using MMA as my training regimen, so I'm excited to show the fans that race car drivers are athletes just like in other professional sports. I've been preparing for this fight since December and think I'm ready. My next race is in a few weeks so I felt comfortable that now was a good time." says Earnhardt who will make his next scheduled NASCAR start in the NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Daytona International Speedway July 6.
Asked if he will be intimidated climbing into a cage with a guy who fights for a living, Earnhardt answered, "I'm a race car driver first and foremost and have a lot of respect for the guys who do MMA for a living. I take this opportunity very seriously, but whether it's a roll cage or a fight cage, I don't back down from anyone."
The fight is scheduled for Tuesday at 8:30 pm (EST) and can be viewed live online via $15 Pay Per View at www.jeimma.com.

Winning the lottery is all about luck, right?
Well according to some lotto players it's a bout having a system.
Others think it's just about playing more but believe it or not there are lots of people who claim they won the lottery by manifesting it!
Shelly Sullivan is one of those people.
She is a nutritionalist and spiritual teacher.
Using her new age beliefs she claims that she manifested a lottery win and also taught her friend how to do it – her friend also won.
Manifesting a Lotto Win
Shelly Sullivan explains how she manifested a lottery in the video below.
Shelly Reveals All
Shelly takes her manifestation advice further and elaborates on her story about winning the lottery.
As you can see many people take this new age stuff very seriously.
Can you really use new age stuff to win on the lotto? I don't know but I do know that I'd be willing to try anything if I wanted to get a result bad enough.
Alternate Views
Of course there are many people who not only think the new age is garbage but that it is actually harmful.
What are your views on the new age?
As a christian I think the new age can be dangerous. Also as a christian I have no problem playing (or winning) the lottery.

Concerning Shaco, Nocturne and Fiddlesticks Lore
These three champions have a unique theme/design and for most their lore has been left empty due to the removal of the fields of justice and summoners . due to them being "Friends" on the lore pages it has always been assumed that all three were from the same dream/nightmare realm or at least were associated with each other in some way but this was never explored All I ask is that when their lore is finally redone/updated can riot please **NOT** give them the moakai treatment and simply slot them into being assocated with the shadow isles. Having diversity in the lore and some unique backgrounds make's these champions less commonplace and stand out more. All I ask is that they are given the respect they deserve and riot don't pull some lazy fix and lump them in with all the other dark and strange champs in the game. TY for the read :D

Practicing Skills In Your Sleep Can Be as Effective as Physical Training
Just imagining movement fires the same neurons as if we were actually moving. A new study shows we can wake our sleeping mind to practice motor skills in our dreams.
23 October, 2016
Lucid dreaming. (Image: Shutterstock)
Mental training is arguably as important as physical fitness. That argument is gaining strength as a growing body of literature unravels the once-mysterious connections between consciousness and movement. We know that the murky domain of subconscious and autonomic actions greatly influences our waking lives. Now we're learning how to train our unconscious selves for the benefit of our daily actions.

Calvert, Charles and St. Mary's Counties
A Trip Through 3 Centuries in 3 Days through 3 Counties
Discover Southern Maryland's unique past – richly preserved in its numerous historic sites, dynamic museums and rural byways.
Arrive at the Chesapeake Railway Museum in Calvert County to experience life in the early 1900s and the Chesapeake Beach Railway Co. & Amusement Park history detailed in photos and artifacts in the Railway's only remaining station. Learn the role the Chesapeake Bay environment had in shaping the cultures of Bayside communities, from prehistoric to present times, at the Bay History Museum. Before you leave, take off your shoes and wade into the waters of the Chesapeake Bay at North Beach Public Beach or stroll along the boardwalk and wander into eclectic shops and enjoy lunch at one of the restaurants serving mouthwatering seafood delicacies in this quaint seaside town. Traveling south to see the northernmost natural range of bald cypress trees in the United States at Battle Creek Cypress Swamp Sanctuary. Then ESCAPE TO SOLOMONS ISLAND! Visit the Calvert Marine Museum, which traces the rich maritime history of life found in the Chesapeake Bay. Climb up through the hatch of the Drum Point Lighthouse, constructed in 1883. Beautifully restored, complete with furnishings of the era, it has become the waterfront's main attraction. Tour the Joseph C. Lore & Sons Oyster House, a restored seafood-packing house that flourished during the boom & decline of the region's commercial seafood industries. Take a short cruise around the harbor on the historic "bugeye" boat, the Wm. B. Tennison and build up an appetite for dinner. After checking into a local hotel, have dinner at any number of waterside restaurants.
Take a drive over the scenic Thomas Johnson Bridge to St. Mary's County and travel south to Historic St. Mary's City, the first permanent settlement in Maryland and Maryland's first capital. The "city" is now one of the nation's premier outdoor history museums and archeological parks. While there, get into the spirit of early colonial life with a visit to the Godiah Spray Plantation and the Maryland Dove, a working replica of the square rigged schooner that carried the first colonists from England. Head to Lexington Park where you'll find manylunch choices, then visit the Patuxent River Naval Air Museum, one of the few official Navy museums. Explore the outdoor air park and test your mettle in a navy flight trainer. Travel a few miles north and several centuries back in time to Sotterley Plantation along the Patuxent River. Tour the rambling manor house and the colorful gardens. It's just a few miles to Leonardtown for late afternoon shopping in the town's shops and galleries, wine tasting at the Port of Leonardtown Winery and dinner at one of town's numerous dining spots. After dinner, stroll the town's waterfront park along Breton Bay. Spend the night at Leonardtown's in-town hotel or chose lodging at one of the county's B&Bs or hotels.
Travel north to the Dr. Samuel A. Mudd House in Charles County. This early Victorian farmhouse was once home of Dr. Mudd, the physician who treated the broken leg of John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of President Abraham Lincoln. This site is included on Maryland's Civil War Trail project entitled, "John Wilkes Booth: Escape of an Assassin. While on the way to the museum, you will travel some of the escape route, passing by the old Bryantown Tavern where Booth and other Confederate sympathizers met to discuss their plans and St. Mary's Catholic Church, where Dr. Mudd is buried. Lunch at The Crossing at Casey Jones Restaurant or the Royal Tea Room in LaPlata. Travel west to the Thomas Stone National Historic Site for a visit to Harberdeventure, the plantation home of Thomas Stone, one of Maryland's four signers of the Declaration of Independence. Both Stone and his wife are buried here. This historic site is managed by the National Park Service and includes a Visitors Center that features exhibits and a gift shop. Continue west to the Historic District of Port Tobacco, once Maryland's second largest seaport and listed on early World Maps. Originally the site of the Indian Village of Potopaco, Port Tobacco was the first county seat until it was moved to LaPlata in 1895. At the Port Tobacco Courthouse (open seasonally), costumed docents tell the story of this historic area from 1620 to the present. The Port Tobacco area was also home to several Confederate sympathizers during the Civil War. End your visit to the Southern Maryland area by catching a minor league baseball game at the new Regency Furniture Stadium, home of the Atlantic League's Maryland Blue Crabs, or enjoy a Southern Maryland dining experience in Popes Creek or further down the road on Cobb Island at any one of our waterfront restaurants. Relax by the water while feasting on hot steamed crabs and shrimp, local oysters on the half shell or the fresh catch of the day!

That may be a headline you never thought you'd read, but according a new survey of Tennessee registered voters conducted by Middle Tennessee State University, it's true.
When asked if they favored "laws to prevent people with mental illness from purchasing guns," a surprising 85 percent said yes. Perhaps even more surprisingly, 83 percent of those surveyed favored "making private gun sales and sales at gun shows subject to background checks."
On other questions, the results were not as unexpected. Most Tennesseans surveyed think it is more important to "protect the right to own guns" (69 percent) than to "control gun ownership" (23 percent). And most Tennesseans think gun ownership does more to "protect people from becoming victims of crime" (63 percent) than to "put people's safety at risk" (24 percent).
"Tennesseans generally favor preserving access to guns, and pretty passionately so," said Ken Blake, director of the poll at MTSU. "But there appears to be some common ground between gun rights supporters and gun control supporters when it comes to regulating private and gun show sales and sales to the mentally ill."
The poll randomly surveyed 603 registered voters statewide by telephone October 25th-27th and has an error margin of 4 percentage points.
Blake added that, "solid majorities of both gun rights and gun control supporters favor regulating private and gun show sales and preventing sales to the mentally ill. Specifically, 78 percent of gun rights supporters and 96 percent of gun control supporters, favor regulating gun sales among private individuals and at gun shows.
Similarly, 84 percent of gun rights supporters, and 90 percent of gun control supporters favor laws preventing gun sales to the mentally ill."
Jason Reineke, associate director of the MTSU poll, said these patterns among Tennessee voters are similar to patterns found in recent national polling.
With any luck, the General Assembly will consider this poll the next time they consider passing more NRA-written legislation. Turns out most Tennesseans, including gun owners, favor a more responsible approach.

Game Review: Star Wars The Force Unleashed II
All the Star Wars fans out there have been waiting and waiting for this one to hit. Well it is finally here and from what game play I have seen and from what they did with the first one I was excited about this one.
If you are looking for the trophy list look no further.
Right from the first cinematic this game is beautiful. The graphics during game play are not as great as the cinematics but that's OK, you should be to busy using your force powers to destroy everything in site.
The game mechanics work just like the first one so if you did play the first one you can jump right into this one comfortably. Because you died in the first game and you shouldn't be alive the you don't remember everything so that's how they get away with taking away your force powers. You do have flashes of memories and slowly regain them back though.
In the sound and music department you really can't go wrong here since they have the ability to use the Star Wars archives. So you can be ready for all the usual music and sound effects.
To not give away any of the story line, it is awesome. There are a lot of Star Wars fans out there saying that Force Unleashed is messing up the whole back bone of what the Star Wars universe is. I have to say no its not, everything takes place right before the original trilogy and from what i have seen so far doesn't mess up a thing.
Now for the bottom line, this game is 100% a rental. The game only took me just over four hours to beat and see both endings. Unfortunately the only replay ability is if you are going for trophies or achievements. If you still want to pick it up to complete your collection or want the trophies then by all means do so.

Pink and Purple and Flowers - Oh My!
I made this birthday card for a work colleague - she likes pink, purple, flowers, butterflies and bling, so I think I have got all those covered LOL.
I used an embossing folder for the pink base mat, the photo has 'dulled' the embossing a bit, it is more prominent IRL. The purple circle mat, the white flourish and the white stem flowerhead are all done with Memory Box dies. I used punches for the white scalloped circle (Woodware), the butterflies (Martha Stewart), the retro flowers (EK Success) and the fronds (Martha Stewart). I also ran the flowers through the Big Shot in a dotty embossing folder and I did mean to curl the petals a bit, but forgot to do it before sticking them down and then it was too late :-)
The lace circle stamp is from Stampin' Up and the text is, I believe, a Tinchies stamp.
She was delighted with it :-)

Scrapology May card challenge
The Scrapology card challenge for May is to use old stash. Well, I certainly have enough of that .... :-)
This card is made from scraps of Basic Grey 'Two Scoops'. And it is pink ....... note to self - stay away from the pink side!

52 cards challenge - week 21
This weeks prompt is a sketch. Believe it or not, both these cards came from the same sketch :-)
The birthday card is not, I have to say, one of my favourites ...... not just because it's pink LOL, it just didn't seem to 'flow'. I used an embossed ATC blank, with a chalk ink pad swiped over, attached a scrap of ribbon, die cut banner and punched flower. The base of the pink mat was scalloped with a border punch and I wrapped another piece of ribbon around mat and topper. I punched out the sentiment tag and some butterflies.
Now the Christmas card, on the other hand, is one of my 'favouritest' ever! Back to the white, aqua and silver for this one. I embossed the mat with snowflakes and die-cut the branch and baubles. The bauble is two Memory Box dies, with a plain base and intricately patterned top. The first 'top' I cut out in white didn't quite work - I had it too close to the edge of the card and the edge just missed cutting. So I put it to one side and cut another top plus a silver base. Just on a whim, I tried overlapping the silver/white bauble with the mis-cut white top ..... wow ..... had to go with it :-) Then I put it all together, with a bought sentiment banner, to see how I could make the baubles appear to be hanging. Although I had a vague idea of using thread, I decided to try a very thin strip of the white card and I think this works very well. I am definitely going to make some more of these!

Simple Dandelion Clock card
A couple of weeks ago, they were thowing out some card at work, a lovely linen-y effect card. So I said nooooooooooooooo!!! There were maybe 20 A4 sheets. It takes a stamped impression beautifully, so I did a bit of experimenting. Some of it has gone into 52 card challenge cards, but for this one I decided to stamp three dandelion clocks (Hero Arts, I think) onto the linen-effect mat, ink the edges, wrap some ribbon round and add a sentiment plus pearls. The sentiment is a Tinchies stamp and I die-cut it with a Nestie deckle edge rectangle, then inked the edges. Nice and simple :-)

Upcycled table - finished at last!
A while ago ..... nearly two years ago in fact .... some friends of ours bought a house and said if we wanted any of the 'junk' inside it, we were welcome to it :-) There was a small table, with an awful peeling formica top, so I said I would take it away, do something with it and then give it back to them, all transformed. I think they were happy about the first part, not so happy about getting it back ..... LOL. The picture above, is the table after the removal of the formica and sanding down.
It may have taken a while for me to get around to it, but once I had started I remembered how I really like doing up furniture - I hadn't done any for years because our house is now, well, full! So I have had a lot of fun with this table. I started by turning it upside down and painting the base and legs with a cream oil eggshell paint, 3 coats, a day between each coat. I should have used a primer first, then I would only have needed two coats of the eggshell. Live and learn......
Then I started on the top. Primer first, then a coat of emulsion in the same cream - a water-based paint rather than the oil-based, because of the finish I had in mind. I wanted to cover the top in a Decopatch paper, cream with a gold crackle pattern. Then ... disaster! It looked awful and got worse as it dried - I have decopatched other projects with good results, but this just didn't work! In the end, when it had dried, I decided it all had to come off, so I sprayed it with water and set to with a wallpaper scraper. DS1 helped, bless him.
I decided to do a proper crackle finish on the top, using acrylic paint and Paperartsy crackle glaze. So I painted it with a coat of gold acrylic, allowed to dry, applied a coat of the glaze .... allowed to dry .... then painted over a cream acrylic. The gold crackles appeared very fast and finally it started to look as though I might not have ruined it after all! I also painted two wooden mouldings with the gold and adhered those onto the front and back using epoxy resin.
This is how it looks now, with a close up of the crackle effect:
I am very happy with it, if I only had the space I would keep it! Can't wait to see the reaction when we hand it back........ :-)

52 cards challenge - week 20
I have caught up! The prompt for week 20 is to take inspiration from the printed word, literature etc.
I knew what I wanted to do for both cards - but didn't have a "Bah Humbug" stamp. One google search later, I had found this lovely little stamp on Ebay, from a seller called Make your Mark who are based in York. The stamp gives a lovely impression, and I decided to do a simple 9-patch card, with the centre circle raised up on foam. A peel-off line frame to pull the scalloped-punched circles together and it was done. I think I might use foam on all the circles next time I make it.
The second card doesn't have a specific sentiment as such, so an appropriate message for the occasion can be written inside. The wonderful steampunk ruby slippers image is a Stampendous stamp, which I stamped/embossed with gold detail powder and then attempted to colour in .... something which I am not that good at, this is my second attempt and the tiny jewels along the soles are to hide where I went over the line LOL. But they do look good! I then die-cut the image using a Go Kreate die, then cut the mat using the next size up. A happy discovery was that these sizes of the die go very nicely into a 6" card blank :-) DH had previously laser-cut a whole selection of gears for me, so I inked some up in two shades of brown and attached those. I am very pleased with it, despite the bad colouring LOL.
So I am now up to date with the challenge .... until tomorrow's prompt!

Dangerous Boy :-)
I have so many unfinished layouts .... this is one of them! DH on his birthday last year, with a very appropriate pressie!
Started - and actually almost finished - at the ATDML retreat last month, but I needed to cut a title .... and do a little journalling ... and I didn't like the way the stamped gears looked on the punched circles. The papers are from a Hot off the Press steampunk collection, mostly, with a cogs paper from Craft Creations and a scrap of cream/gold foiled paper which I think may be from them too. I cut around the design in the corner of the background paper to slide the cogs strip behind it.
I robo-cut the title, the 'watch out' and 'dangerous' are cut using the 'Boys r gross' font .... I like a good font joke LOL. Still wasn't happy with the stamped circles... but DH had laser cut me a whole selection of gears in different sizes from white card, so I inked some up and placed them over the circles - it has made all the difference!
A little bit of journalling along the top of the photo mat and it was finished at last.

52 cards challenge - week 19
The 52 cards challenge for week 19 - this week the prompt is to use texture. Some time ago, I made a masterboard with inks, stamps and some texture paste. Most of this got used on a layout, but I saved enough for a card and an ATC.
So, the birthday card is made with this remnant of the masterboard, I kept it simple as I didn't want to cover the texture too much, so I wrapped a ribbon around then stamped and die-cut the sentiment.
The Christmas card has three pennants die-cut from a linen effect cardstock and I added three felt Christmas trees. The sentiment banner is from stash.

Five green bottles
The Scrapology May challenge is H for Hand stitched and this is my entry.
Last year, I was so taken with these Jubilee editions of Stones ginger wine that I bought five bottles (over the course of a few weeks!) for the express purpose of making a page with this title LOL. They did take me a while to empty, mind......
I decided to try a 'spattery' page, I randomly sprayed some glimmer mist on a blue paper (Craft Creations) - and then couldn't think how to proceed, so left it for a few months! At the crop last weekend, I was inspired by the scrapology sketch and so carried on where I had left off.....
I usd some border strip punches to make the zig-zag and chains, then adhered the doilies and stamped some splatters and 'wine glass' rings. The journalling is done on half of a Stamps Away journalling block. I stamped and punched out my title and then the fun began..... pricking all the holes for the stitching and then the stitching itself - with thanks to Scrappy Sarah for the white thread! It took ages........
It's a bit different for me, but I like it :-)

52 cards challenge - week 18
The prompt for week 18 was to use pale pink, buttons and tags. I do struggle with putting tags on cards, it never seems to come out right :-( However, a while ago I did buy - and put away unused - a tag die.... now seemed a good time to drag it out of the drawer!
The 'blank' card will have an appropriate sentiment added later, at the base of the tag. I used the die for the tag and cut it out of an experimental piece of distress inked card which I found lurking in a box. The band at the base of the tag is cut out of a pale pink paper from the scraps box and I die-cut the doily lace border from that too. I can't remember the name of the paper range, but it included the black & pink spot paper, so I used that for the central strip. The flowers are bought die-cuts, which I wouldn't normally buy, but they were on sale at half price a while ago.... I knew they would come in useful :-) I sewed a button to the centre of each one.
I applied the same design to the Christmas card. The dreaded Papermania Mistletoe Kisses pack came out again - it's the only pink festive paper I have!! - and the pack also includes some tags, so I used one of those instead of cutting one. The hole was too large for an eyelet, so I attached a bow at the top. The snowflakes are die-cut and sewing the buttons on proved to be a nightmare - the thread kept catching on all the little arms of the snowflake and tangling up! In the end, I just sewed the thread though the button holes, then stuck the thing to the snowflake with glossy accents!
I am quite pleased with the design of these and will definitely make some more along the same lines, so finally I have found a use for tags LOL.

52 cards challenge - week 17
The prompt for week 17 of the 52 cards challenge was to use scraps. I certainly have plenty of those, in fact most of my cards are made from them LOL. The photos are not terrific, I'm afraid, I was having trouble getting the light right in my little photo studio.
The birthday card was for my son's 25th birthday and is done from Bo Bunny 'Timepiece' scraps, with some bits of corrugated card and a mis-stamped ATC. I covered the joing between papers with a ribbon, stamped the sentiment and attached a key charm.
The Christmas card has two peel-off line frames - one interrupted with the sentiment - around a piece of Craft Creations snowflake paper. I adhered a mix of die-cut and punched snowflakes over the top. Very simple and quick to do!
Saturday, 11 May 2013
52 cards challenge - week 16
Week 16's prompt over at the 52 cards challenge was to use a negative die-cut, the part normally left behind when the required shape is taken away!
The birthday card is actually done with an EK Success punch - I had just bought it and wanted to try it out! - the shape is punched out of some embossed white cardstock and then laid over a blue patterned base, with a pearl in the centre. I wrapped a ribbon around this assemblage and adhered to a navy card blank. The sentiment is a peel-off, laid over a punched tag.
The Christmas card uses two negative die-cuts - Nestie labels 4 and labels 4 small - and I stamped a sentiment into the base paper. Both the plain green and the snowflake paper are Basic Grey Wassail, I think. I used a scalloped eyelet border punch on the snowflake paper and the gold mat, then wrapped a ribbon around the join. A few punched out snowflakes to finish with :-) It's a bit grungy, I think, so should be good for a 'male' Christmas card!

My sister's birthday card!
I can blog this now she has received it :-)
This card started off with a mistake ...... I had intended to make it into a tent card rather than a side folded one, but I got distracted while sticking the background paper on and I put it on with the pattern going the wrong way. Not only that, but I didn't even notice until after I had stuck the brown ribbon on the 'base' of the tent card, so I couldn't move the paper around. Oops! So I turned it back around to a side fold and stuck another ribbon on the other side to balance it.
The flowers and frond clusters went on next (EK Success and MS punches respectively), I raised the larger ones up on 2mm foam pads, the smaller on 1mm, so I could slip the central motif underneath even though I didn't know what it was going to be at that point.
In my 'useful bits and pieces' drawer were some test impressions of this lovely lace doily stamp from Stampin Up, this one is done in a teal ink from Memento. The sentiment was overstamped in black versafine, though I did have to go over it with a pen. I die-cut two lace doily mats in brown and green, assembled the whole topper and placed it between and under the flowers.
The only disadvantage to the card is that the flowers are fairly dimensional, so it had to be posted at the large letter rate! But my sister's worth it :-)

52 cards challenge week 15
Still catching up :-) The prompt for week 15 of the challenge was to have the text as the main focus of the card.
For the birthday card I cut some yellow paper from a Jillybeans 6" paper pad, used an inverted corner punch and wrapped a ribbon around it. The text stamp is from Woodware. I put a pearl in each inverted corner and that was it! I must do this one again :-)
The Christmas card was slightly more complicated - starting with the fact that the Memory Box stamp (which I bought because I thought it would make good square cards) actually isn't quite a true square. I discovered that fact by trimming all edges equidistant from the text, then finding it wasn't square! It also doesn't seem to stamp particularly well, but perhaps that was because I was embossing, I will have to try it with just ink. It wasn't a cheap stamp either......
So having trimmed it to a square, I then matted onto gold and cut a further mat using a PATP punch from Martha Stewart - think it's called Flourish Lace. I adhered everything to the backing paper (all papers are Basic Grey 'Wassail') and then saw the stray speck of embossing powder ....... well I wasn't going to throw all the work away, so I punched a snowflake to cover the error, then others to balance out the card. The tiny gold snowflakes don't show up well in the photo, but they do look nice IRL :-)

52 cards Challenge - week 14
I am very behind on this, but am trying to catch up! The prompt for week 14 of the 52 cards challenge was - hexagons.
The Christmas card has hexagons punched from silver cardstock, with punched snowflakes on top. I ran the mat through the bigshot in a snowflake embossing folder and wrapped a ribbon around it before adhering to the navy card blank. The sentiment banner is a from a pack bought at Ally Pally a few years ago.
For the birthday card I used papers from a truly awful 6" paper pad I had bought because it was only £1.99 and the cover illustrations looked OK...... one of the papers had roses on it so I die-cut hexagons from it to include a rose each. The mat is one of the worst papers from the pad, which looks OK as a frame LOL and the main background paper is one of the least horrible ones!!! I used two white flowers, inking the smaller one completely with some pink chalk ink, while the larger one was inked just around the petal tips. The pearl swirl is from stash, bought years ago and never used. The sentiment strips are die-cut pennants.
I have to say, despite the fact that the papers are not so great, I actually really like the way the card has turned out. Just goes to show ....... :-)

Friday morning, 4:45 AM…my alarm goes off reminding me it is time to take my thyroid meds. Sigh…way too much fun. It is really cold this morning and even three cups of steaming coffee don't help. A warm shower does the trick and we are ready to roll.
The Diocese has provided a vehicle for our use while we are here…equipped with an interesting anti-high-jack device. We know how it works…or at least, we think so. Half way down the road an alarm goes off and the car cuts out. A passer-by gives us a weary look and then just keep on walking. I turn the car off, push down the unlock button, the alarm stops, and the car starts again. Moving along.
The GPS does not take us the way Fr Erich had told us to go, so we are off to an adventure on our own. Thankfully the electronic genius takes us to where we need to be. Christ the King Anglican Church, Mondeor. It is a large church that can easily seat 600 comfortably.
We are bang on time and we start training a brand new batch of disciple-makers! 13 in total with one returnee and two faculty members, one from Johannesburg Diocese and the other from Highveldt.
This group is very diverse in age and ethnicity. They are made up of clergy and lay-folk…they are engaged and are all participating well…in short, a great group. I am sure we will see a number of this group go on to become key Growing the Church Faculty members.
Lunch is amazing...spicy Durban curry! YUM!
I receive the long awaited WhatsApp message from Heyns to say they are in Amsterdam. A KLM angel bumped them up to economy comfort and Amelia slept 10.5 out of the 11-hour flight. Praise the Lord! They had also just heard that an extra seat had been blocked for their use in the flight back to Washington.
4:30 PM and it is time to call it a day. The feedback is very encouraging with some saying they have learned so much this day. They have been challenged to take the church out into the community…their heads nodded vigorously as we showed them from examining the ministry of Christ Himself that a church-centred program is not the way to make disciples. We need to go to where people are…just as Jesus did…into homes, work places, schools, and wherever folks spend their free time. Then meet them where they are at in life…walk with them…point them in the right direction…challenge them to turn away from worldliness and to turn to Jesus…build them up in the faith…and lead them on to maturity. Not rocket science as a good friend would say…simply walking as Jesus walked.
Our homeward journey turned out to be another adventure. The GPS decides to take us the scenic route through a rather seedy looking, run-down area. But we are home and are well fed and ready for bed…a few more things to do and then…zzzzzzz

A modular concept in which players data is collected in one central server. Al video images, evaluation reports, medical data, contract data and for example test and training data of a player are available with a simple mouse click.
The Technical Director, the Head of the Youth Department and the physiotherapist have, because of a tremendous amount of player data, more insight of his performance, his injuries and value for the team.
In a demo we would gladly show you the efficiency improvement and the possible savings in costs that can be achieved with the implementation of our concept.Read More
Do you also experience a decrease in membership numbers of your club? Do you trainers adequately support the need of the players to make use of video images of games that can be placed on the social media they use? TDC Club offers you a platform in which all players data can be collected. All his video images can be made available for use on Facebook, Youtube and his mobile phone. Players evaluation now has a new dimension. Players love this and the involvement (of the player and his parents) with the club is stimulated enormously.Read More

Our 57th episode is a SERIOUS #throwbackthursday, as it is our second "Deleted Scenes" episode. We look back at some of the best stories and segments from episodes we've done in the last year, and air the best, previously un-aired bits. We open with comedian Kara Klenk and possibly the greatest deleted scene yet — we can't describe it, you'll just have to hear it — and we follow it with great clips from shows that included Jared Freid, Ken Schultz, Joe & Pat McCaffrey, Kevin's mom, Will Miles, Michelle Jung, Meghan Maguire, Jack O'Brien, and Luke Cunningham.
This episode is extra special, because it caps our Freshman Year of College Stories, taking us into a brief summer break. But don't worry — we'll be back in August with all new episodes, and during the break, we'll be re-posting our 7 most highly rated episodes every Thursday to tide you over.
Thanks for listening, and for making our Freshman year a great one! If you want to make it even greater, head over to iTunes and give us a rating and a review — it would be a HUUUUUUGE help.
Catch you in August!
