Law school, as anyone who has ever been a law student will tell you, is occasionally so stress-inducing that some students will day dream about leaving it all behind and moving to Hawaii to open a swimsuit boutique called "Splish Splash" that also sells dog supplies.
Wait, nevermind that last part, I think that's exclusively me. But in any case, Law School is not easy, especially when coupled with student leadership, clinics, competition teams/ and or journal and job applications, as is the case for so many of my citizen lawyer peers at William and Mary.
As an undergrad, I was always busy. When I rowed, I had as many as two practices daily, and I was active in both my sorority and on the debate team, while still having a full class load. Although it wasn't easy, my sleepless nights were limited and I was seldom extremely stressed out.
This changed when I went to Law School. I had just started dabbling in my disability advocacy work and with speaking. Once I got to back to Virginia and was able to get even more involved in advocacy work, my speaking engagements increased drastically which meant I had to be on the road more and more. Additionally, I started competing again in the Miss Virginia Organization, which meant I had to focus my efforts on preparing for every aspect of the compeition. And now, instead of the undergraduate course work I was accustomed to, I had to focus more on the more advanced and specialized law school curriculum, while applying for jobs and getting involved in student organizations I was interested in.
Even though I absolutely loved everything I was doing, sometimes the stress got to the point where I stopped feeling the joy I usually felt while working on a project or giving a talk. My classes felt more tedious and less engrossing. And I knew it was time for a change.
First, I took a look at what I was doing to take time for myself, and the answer was, in all honesty, not much. Aside from the time I had on the road listening to music, my downtime was limited. So I started to consciously carve out at least an hour a day to just relax- whether it was by reading a book, watching netflix, writing or just taking a nap.
I then identified another issue: lack of sleep. You need sleep. Your body does not function without it. I realized quickly that I was definitely not getting anywhere near recommended six to eight hours, and I made a conscious effort to sleep at least five to six hours a day, and whenever possible eight hours a day. The difference in my attitude was night and day (get the pun?).
Another huge issue for me was that I was overextending myself too much. I've always been bad at saying no to things, but I recognized that it was getting serious enough that I needed to sit down and figure out what my priorities were, which meant not doing a few things I had initially really wanted to do to focus on things that ultimately were more important to me. It meant, that instead of taking into account what other people wanted me to do, to only take into account what I felt was right for me. The week after my first year of law school ended, I made a list of my priorities and goals, and eliminating things that didn't help me to achieve those goals. It wasn't an easy list to make, but now that I have it, it's been easier for me to focus on what's really important. Having that list helped me to strategically plan a schedule for next year that will allow me the time I need to work towards my professional goals, while still being able to take time to do things like sleep, read and go to the gym.
Look, life will not always be stress-free, especially when you're living a life full of what you love! But that stress doesn't have to consume you. With the proper schedule management, you'll be ready to take on any challenge that comes your way.
As always, keep being amazing.

Basement Flooding Protection Program
During heavy rain, the sewers can become overloaded. This increases pressure on the sewer systems and overland drainage routes, such as roads, local rivers and streams, which can lead to lead to basement flooding.
The City's Basement Flooding Protection Program is a multi-year program that is helping to reduce the risk of flooding by making improvements to the sewer system and overland drainage routes. Projects are taking place in basement flooding study areas across the city.
Enter your address in the interactive map to see what projects are taking place near you. View the Map
For each basement flooding study area, an Environmental Assessment (EA) study is conducted. These are complex studies that can take two or more years to complete. EA studies:
- Examine the sewer system and above ground areas.
- Make recommendations to reduce the risk of flooding.
Improvements may include building:
- Storm sewer tunnels.
- Underground and above ground storage facilities.
- Additional or larger storm or sanitary sewers.
- Inlet control devices (to slow the drain of rain into the sewer system).
- Additional catch basins (square grates on the side of the road) in low lying areas.
- Sealing sanitary manhole covers.
- Once an EA study is complete, the recommended basement flooding projects are sequenced into a 5-year project list which is presented on an annual basis to City Council.
- Projects are prioritized and scheduled to protect the greatest number of properties as soon as possible, within approved budgets and coordinated with other construction work — as per Council approved criteria.
- The length and type of construction will vary depending on the type of projects being implemented.
There are several stages of work that must be undertaken before a construction project is completed:
- Preliminary Design: Preliminary engineering drawings are developed for review and input from City departments, utilities and regulatory authorities. The input is incorporated in the overall design.
- Detailed Design: Final detailed engineering drawings are developed and permits to proceed with the construction work are obtained. Prior to construction, Public Notices are delivered door-to-door about two months in advance to let the community know that a construction project will soon be taking place.
- Construction: Construction Notices are delivered door-to-door about two weeks in advance and road signage is placed in the community to provide residents with project details prior to the start of construction. Construction activities may include excavation of the roadway, sidewalks and/or boulevards, and may require protective fencing to be erected.
- Restoration: Restoration within construction areas varies by project, and typically involves restoration of road surfaces, sidewalks, grass and tree plantings, etc.
The City and its contractors are committed to communicating with local communities about basement flooding construction activities and anticipated disruptions in their neighbourhood.
The Basement Flooding Protection Program has a Field Ambassador who is dedicated to communicating with the local community and the on-site contractor, and responding to construction inquiries during the course of the project.
You may spot the Field Ambassador on your street in a brightly coloured blue vest.
Field Ambassador contact information is provided in the Construction Notice for each project – available on the City's Construction Information website.
Rain and groundwater that improperly enters the sanitary sewer system is called inflow and infiltration (I/I) and can contribute to basement flooding. The City's conducting a pilot study to help find and address I/I issues. Watch this video to learn more.

Regular Expressions
Regular Expression Pr-qualifier… these definitions are how regular expressions are generally used in .htaccess files and though most definitions will be applicable globally, there are some that may not.
There are some predefined 'terms' in regular expressions to make your life easier. (At least, that are supposed to make your life easier.) Here is a short list, with what each does in the mod_rewrite setting.
[ ] enclose the expression or a portion of the expression. (Used for determining the characters, or range of characters to be matched.)
letter-letter (EG [a-z] matches any single lowercase alphabetical character in the range of a to z), so [c-e] will match any single character that is the lowercase letter c, d, or e.
LETTER-LETTER (EG [A-Z] matches any single capital alphabetical character in the range of A to Z), so [C-E] will match any single character that is the capital letter C, D, or E.
number-number (EG [0-9] matches any single number in the range of 0 to 9), so [4-6] would match any single number 4, 5, or 6.
character list (EG [dog123] matches any single character, either d, o, g, 1, 2, or 3.
^ has two purposes, when used inside of [ ] it designates 'not'. (EG [^0-9] would match any character that is not 0 to 9 and [^abc] would match any character that is not a lowercase a, b, or c.) When used at the beginning of a pattern in mod_rewrite, it also designates the begining of a 'line'.
It is very important to understand and remember [dog] does not match the word 'dog', it matches any individual lowercase letter d, o, or g anywhere in the comparison. In the same way, [^dog] does not exclude the word 'dog' from matching, it excludes the lowercase letter d, o, or g from matching individually.
To match a 'word' or a group of characters in order, you do not need to use [] so ^dog$ would match the word dog, and not d, o, or g as a single character.
. (a dot) matches any single character, except the ending of a line.
? matches 0 or 1 of the characters or set of characters in brackets or parentheses immediately before it. (EG a? would match the lowercase letter 'a' 0 or 1 time, (abc)? would match the phrase 'abc' 0 or 1 time, while [a-z]? would match any lowercase letter from 'a to z' 0 or 1 time.)
+ matches 1 or more of the characters or set of characters in brackets or parentheses immediately before it. (EG a+ would match the lowercase letter 'a' 1 or more times, (abc)+ would match the phrase 'abc' 1 or more times, while [a-z]+ would match 1 or more lowercase letters from 'a to z'.)
* matches 0 or more of the characters or set of characters immediately before it. (EG a* would match the lowercase letter 'a' 0 or more times, (abc)* would match the phrase 'abc' 0 or more times, while [a-z]* would match 0 or more lowercase letters from 'a to z'.)
These are the basic building blocks of regular expressions as used in .htaccess and associated with mod_rewrite. By themselves, they do little, but when you put them together, they become very powerful.
Along with regular expressions, mod_rewrite allows for the use of special characters. It's a good thing to understand what these are before you begin writing rules. (Mainly because you need one or more of them in almost every rule.)
RewriteRule tells the server to interpret the following information as a rule.
RewriteCond tells the server to interpret the following information as a condtion of the rule(s) that are immediately after it.
^ defines the begining of a 'line' (starting anchor). Remember, ^ also designates 'not' in a regular expression, so please don't get confused.
( ) creates a variable to be stored and possibly used later, and is also used to group text for use with the quantifiers ?, +, and * described above.
$ defines the ending of a 'line' (ending anchor), and when followed by a number from 1 to 9, also references a variable defined in the RewriteRule pattern (used for variables on the right side of the equation or to match a variable from the rule in a condition, see example below).
% references a variable defined in a preceding rewrite condition. (used for variables on the right side of the equation only, see example below)
*note* – The right side of the equation is everything that follows the $ in a RewriteRule.
Examples: All variables are given a number according to the order they appear; The following rule and condition each have two variables, defined by parenthesis, so to use them you would put them where you need them in the results:
(the '-' is for spacing only to make the line more readable, and is not necessary to use variables.)
RewriteRule ^(var1)/no-var/(var2)$ /to-use-variables-type-$1-and-$2
The final result would look like this:
RewriteCond %{CONDITION_STUFF} ^(var1)/no-var/(var2)
RewriteRule ^no-var/no-var/no-var$ /to-use-variables-type-%1-and-%2
The final result would look like this:
To use a combination of the Condition and Rule Variables
RewriteCond %{CONDITION_STUFF} ^(var1)/no-var/(var2)
RewriteRule ^(var1)/no-var/(var2)$ /to-use-variables-type-$1-and-%2-$2
The final result would look like this:
The exception to the above examples is, you can also use the %{CONDITION_STUFF} server variables in the right side of a rule, but it must appear exactly as in the condition:
RewriteRule ^(var1)/no-var/(var2)$ /type-%{CONDITION_STUFF}
¦ (bar) stands for 'or', normally used with alternate text or expressions grouped with parenthesis (EG (with¦without) matches the string 'with' or the string 'without'. Keep in mind that since these are inside parenthesis, the match is also stored as a variable.)
\ is called an escaping character, this removes the function from a 'special character' (EG if you needed to match index.php?, which has both a . (dot) and a ?, you would have to 'escape' the special characters . (dot) and ? with a \ to remove their 'special' value it looks like this: index\.php\?)
! is like the ^ in a grouped regular expression and stands for Not, but can only be used at the beginning of a rule or condition, not in the middle.
- on the right side of the equation stands for No Rewrite. (It is often used in conjunction with a condition to check and see if a file or directory exists.)Tags:

OBJECTIVE: To assess the magnitude of price difference between generic and innovator medicines and to evaluate the effect of the price competition between them. METHODS: From January 2000 to June 2004, 135 generic medicines and their respective innovator medicines were followed up for a period of up to four years. Prices were extracted from pharmaceutical market specific publications and recorded from the launching of generics and during their marketing period. RESULTS: The generic medicines were introduced on average at prices 40% lower than the innovator ones and this difference tended to increase over the years. The price difference between generic and innovator medicines increased in the subsequent four-year period after generic launching in 68%. CONCLUSIONS: The introduction of generic medicines in the Brazilian pharmaceutical market contributed for offering cheaper medicines. However, the competition between generic and innovator medicines did not promote markdown of the majority innovator medicines.

The term "five year plan" is often used to refer to the economic policy of a country (including the one where I now reside).
That's not at all what I'm talking about.
This "five year" plan is the cheap but effective technique of getting perspective on life's little glitches. When things don't go our way, we simply ask: "In five years, will this matter?"
Now, in truth, sometimes it will. Things do happen that can change the course of a life.
But those turning points are rare. Usually, the answer will be "no," and with that assurance firmly in hand, you can go on about your business, knowing that this was not a "fatal error" but just a "redirect."
So, try this cliched-but-useful technique for getting perspective on the bumps in the road.
You'll be happier.

Need an incentive to vote in this year's election? Allow Miley Cyrus to present her case.
The pop sensation and Voice coach jetted off to Virginia Saturday morning to hit the campaign trail in support of Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. Decked from head to toe in a most patriotic ensemble, Cyrus made a pit stop at George Mason University to mix and mingle with prospective voters.
Leave it to Miley to get the word out in the most Miley way possible! Plus, we're betting her red and white striped skirt, bow-shaped crop top and hot pink feathered headband couldn't hurt either.
From the looks of social media sightings, college students flocked to catch a glimpse (and snap a selfie!) of the "We Can't Stop" singer. Not that we blame them or anything...

In The Days of Noah
Then and Now....
The Bible states that before the time of the return of Christ, the world will become like it was before the flood. Jesus Himself makes this claim, outlining exactly how the world will be. If you study other accounts (or myths if you prefer) besides the Old Testament you will find many similarities in other cultures to the view of the flood from the Bibles perspective.
Many of these stories speak of giants, violence,large boats and using birds to search for dry land. Others speak of a world that had become over populated. In one legend the "gods" destroy humans because they are keeping them awake!
The closes to the Hebrew telling of the flood is the Sumerian description of these events. They are so much alike that when the tablets were interpreted into English the scholars who did the interpretation were baffled! for more details on this, watch the video below. I am not writing this hub to try to prove the reality of the flood, for what is the point of that? People will believe what they want to believe, and that is my point! The people of today have become 'brainwashed and conditioned by culture to the point that they do no longer except the insights presented to them in the Scriptures.
The attitude seems to be "believe anything as long as it is not connected to the Bible!" Any other explanation seems to do, in fact the latest trend seems to be a "spiritual goulash " a little of this and little of that! Science denies the evidence that there was ever a world wide flood to the magnitude that it speaks of in the Bible. They would rather claim that the Grand Canyon was the results of millions of years of erosion than the work of a massive flood.
However, my purpose in writing this is not to prove the reality of the flood, but instead to draw a connection between the days of Noah and modern times. To have a better understanding of what were the mind set was back in the ancient times. After all, when you take a good look at the myth around "The Great Flood", or even Atlantis myths you can see a lot similarities with the way the world was the way it was then and the way the world is now!
If we are to believe the Bible what so ever, we are lead to believe that men in the days before the flood lived much longer than than men ever have since then. To me, it is interesting to note that we are now living longer than we have in "recorded" history (besides of the time before the flood). Yes, science has made great strives in improving life-spans of humans and yet, at what cost?
More and more our elderly are ending up in nurses homes and dyeing alone away from there families! On one hand, we have made grate advances in medicine. We have eliminated many illnesses that use to plague mankind. Unfortunately, we have created many other health risk created by our "progress"!
We are now facing the reality of overpopulation in world that has become more and more polluted. Even so. we go about our lives just waiting for the other shoe to drop, for it is like we do not know what else to do! We marry and divorce at a growing rate of speed and does not seem to show any sign of changing. Another trend that is happening at a alarming rate, is the dismissal of Christianity or a general belief in God. In fact, 1st Timothy 4:1 states that many will turn away form God "giving heed to seducing spirits and the doctrines of devils." This is exactly what I see happening in today's world.
Many laugh at those who dare to say Jesus Christ will soon return, much like they must of laughed at Noah when he built the Ark! One thing I believe is worth pondering is, if men lived as long as they did, was it not possible that they were able to develop technology that could compare to our own technology. In fact, there are many clues that have been discovered by archaeologist that suggest this very fact. the popular view is that these discoveries point to alien involvement, but could it not also suggest that at one time our ancestors had developed a advance technology? For King Samuel makes the statement that there is noting new under the sun, which may hint to this reality!
In Matthew chapter 24, Jesus makes it clear what the signs will be before his return, and to me these signs are increasing at a a alarming rate and even nature seem to have become unpredictable bizarre. a perfect example of this is Irene which has to be the most unusual hurricane ever! Just look at what happened to the state of Vermont, who could have predicted that?
In Jackson Brown's song "Before The Deluge" are some thought provoking lyrics that seem to fit the message I wish to generate in this writing. No, we do not no the time that Jesus will return, but the signs seem to be increasing, so our duty is to be ready. Are you?
Powerful, just great!
So did the anchients know how to fly or what?
This song has a thought provoking message that seems to fit with the one I want to convey
Here is the Lyrics to the video above.
Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/j/jackson+browne/before+the+deluge_20068553.html
Some of them were dreamers
And some of them were fools
Who were making plans and thinking of the future
With the energy of the innocent
They were gathering the tools
They would need to make their journey back to nature
While the sand slipped through the opening
And their hands reached for the golden ring
With their hearts they turned to each other's heart for refuge
In the troubled years that came before the deluge
Some of them knew pleasure
And some of them knew pain
And for some of them it was only the moment that mattered
And on the brave and crazy wings of youth
They went flying around in the rain
And their feathers, once so fine, grew torn and tattered
And in the end they traded their tired wings
For the resignation that living brings
And exchanged love's bright and fragile glow
For the glitter and the rouge
And in the moment they were swept before the deluge
Now let the music keep our spirits high
And let the buildings keep our children dry
Let creation reveal it's secrets by and by
By and by--
When the light that's lost within us reaches the sky
Some of them were angry
At the way the earth was abused
By the men who learned how to forge her beauty into power
And they struggled to protect her from them
Only to be confused
By the magnitude of her fury in the final hour
And when the sand was gone and the time arrived
In the naked dawn only a few survived
And in attempts to understand a thing so simple and so huge
Believed that they were meant to live after the deluge
Now let the music keep our spirits high
And let the buildings keep our children dry
Let creation reveal it's secrets by and by
By and by--
When the light that's lost within us reaches the sky
Hello HVW,
I pray that I am prepared for Jesus's return. It is certainly an awareness that I have that it could be any given day or night....I don't have interest in worldly activities and sing the praises of my Saviour daily. And a myriad of other things but how will we ultimately know until He arrives. I know I love Him and live to do His will but frequently fail.
Great hub and these days are much like the days of Noah., where good is called evil and evil is called good and my goodness, there are so many scoffers. Maranatha
Ok ~ I'll check it out, when I have a few minutes :)
Trish said:
"You seem to assume that your conclusions are the correct ones and that mine are incorrect ~ but that may not be so."
I cannot speak for HighVoltage, Trish, but I can tell you that my search for truth took me beyond the scope of "science". REASON could answer some questions that I had and even though it was a good guide for awhile it refused to take me one step beyond its ability, so AUTHORITY and FAITH were able to take me where REASON was unwilling and unable to go.
You see, science can only attempt to answer questions about what they see before them, but when they try to answer questions about WHY they see these things before them, they move from the realm of REASON into the realm of FAITH, but since they deny the authentic authority of the Bible, and without warrant, the quality of FAITH they end up employing is of substandard quality - kind of like using a leaf, water, and needle to find their way through a vast, unchartered wilderness instead of using the map and compass that is already provided through God's Word. So, lost they are and lost they will stay.
In the end, science can only tell you that you are on a wilderness trail and can describe your surroundings in vivid detail, but they cannot tell you why you are on the trail, where you have been, and where the trail leads. When they try to answer these questions they leave the soft, warm blanket of REASON and run head-long into the cold reality of FAITH!
Trish, scientists can measure the galaxy and even think they can measure the universe. What they have found is that the universe is moving away at a uniform rate. If they use projections, and they do, they can project that at some time in the past, all matter in the universe seemed to come from a singular point in space and came about through a singular, cataclysmic event.
However, even though they may be able to track things backward in time, like pressing the rewind button on your DVD player, they can only go so far back and then they are left with more questions that they cannot possibly answer through REASON alone.
Notice that science can never go beyond the Big Bang. They know it was there and they know it happened (and I agree with them), but they do not know why it happened or how it happened...so they leave it alone.
They see life on this planet, but they really don't know why it happened and what "life" really is. If it was all about merging chemicals and amino acids together our scientists would have been able to replicate life long ago in a lab...but they can't.
My point is thus: REASON has its limitations and there are many things in life that cannot be explained through REASON. In truth, there are times when REASON is insufficient to explain the really hard questions that need to be asked.
In my experience, there are a sufficient number of people who stop asking questions at the very point where REASON runs out of gas. This reminds me of the Russian Cosmonaut who returned to Earth after orbiting the Earth for a week or two (Sputnick). Upon his return, he said to the effect that, "God doesn't exist, because if He did, we would have seen Him."
This poor fellow was trying to employ REASON to explain something that lies far beyond the scope of REASON and is far too VAST to gauge with scientific instruments and comprehend through scientific knowledge. He was, in a sense, trying to understand that which is INCOMPREHENSIBLE, by using his little scientific field manual as his AUTHORITY and relying upon his senses to guide him to truth. The Almighty cannot be seen through the use of an electron-microscope or even through the Hubbel Space Telescope, yet His Divine finger-prints and Essence are all around us, but we must use the eyes of FAITH and the AUTHORITY of His Word to know Him.
So, yes, I believe my conclusions are the right ones and your's are exactly what I would expect from someone who relys on REASON to answer all of life's hard questions. Good luck, Trish, we are pulling for you! :0)
I'll look forward to it :)
Well HVW, I did seek, and I did find, but my finding do not seem to have been the same as yours ~ or the Lone Ranger's.
You seem to assume that your conclusions are the correct ones and that mine are incorrect ~ but that may not be so. :)
Happy Black Friday, HVW!
I wanted to write about this in a Hub, but it seems appropriate to discuss this now. I promise not to be long-winded, but there are essentially three elements that are at work in a person's life that are constantly forging and reforming the core belief-system. In turn, the core belief-system gives life to our character, perceptions, perspectives and opinions. In fact, the core belief-system governs how we think. The three elements are as follows:
1) Authority
2) Reason
3) Faith
It is important to note that each one of these elements may act together, work separately, work in perfect harmony, or be in conflict with one another. When they are in conflict, one experiences confusion and doubt. And, not all elements are called into play in any given circumstance.
What does this mean? It means that for those who rely upon faith and faith alone, they are governed by what is known as "Blind Faith", that is, faith that is going it alone, without the benefit of authentic authority or without the benefit of sound reason. This tends to be a dangerous place to be and most cults find solace and comfort living by faith, apart from authority and reason.
Conversely, those who live by reason alone, are those who only believe what they can measure, quantify, analyze
and justify through logic, sight, senses and rationale. It is difficult to find anyone who dwells in this realm completely, but your most ardent, non-biased scientists would come close.
The problem with those who base their belief system soley on reason, is that they will never find God or know Him. You see, The Almighty deliberately hid enough of Himself that one is forced to trust Him and reach out to Him in faith. As is said in the New Testament, "Blessed is he who believes and hasn't seen." Reason requires no faith and without faith we cannot please God, find Him, or know Him.
Hi :)
My daughter recommends that you look at the death of 1000 qualifications' by Anthony Flew and 'the parable of the gardener' by John Wisdom.
And, as I said, I have no desire to convert you :)
Hi again :)
No, HVW, it's nothing specific ~ nothing that could guarantee a lottery win ~ it's just a general 'belief', which can generate a good feeling, which can make one see things in a positive and 'lucky' light. :)
If one feels lucky, then life is likely to be a more positive experience than if one feels unlucky ~ to the extent that some people will actually believe in good and bad luck.
It seems that how / what one believes can actually affect one's beliefs ~ ie the beliefs, themselves.
I think that, if you did not believe in a creator and an adversary, then you probably would not see so much evidence for them, but, because you do believe, you are likely to interpret experiences as evidence in favour of their existence.
As for illusionists, yes they have, indeed, existed for a long, long time and this could explain a lot of the miracles related to religion ~ including Christianity's ~ 'miracles'.
Oh, and my Mum can put her hands in candle flames.
Howdy, HVW, do you mind if I cut in on your dance with Trish, if for only a moment? Thanks.
I have said it once, but I'll say it again, "There is none so blind as those who REFUSE to see."
Trish got me thinking the other day along with some Mormon associates of mine. So, I thought to really understand where both parties were coming from I must go straight to an authority to help me better understand their condition. I found what I was looking for, but it was not in the Holy Bible; rather, it was in the Encyclopedia of Mental Disorders under DELUSIONS:
"Delusions are irrational beliefs, held with a high level of conviction, that are highly resistant to change even when the delusional person is exposed to forms of proof that contradict the belief."
This pretty well sums up Evolutionists and Mormons, who are both brainwashed, indoctrinated individuals who believe in the concept of human evolution - one believing that humans evolved from an inferior form, whereas Mormons believe that the TBM (true believing Mormons) will evolve into a superior form (gods).
Hope this sheds a little light on the subject and I will say more as time allows. Peace be with you all. - L.R.
Hi :)
I think that, once someone believes in something, it seems to come true.
I remember telling my kids that Father Christmas would only visit, if they believed in him. Some of their friends didn't believe and they were not visited by Santa Claus. But those who did believe, enjoyed the special magic of his visit.
Have you heard of Derren Brown. He is amazing a modern 'magician'. He experimented to see if the old saying was true: 'think lucky and you will be lucky'. I may write a hub about it, because it was so interesting, but, it appeared that a lucky mascot that he manufactured, really did become 'lucky'. It must have been because people believed.
You say: 'I have come to believe there is a adversary of man' ~ the way I see it, this 'adversary' will exist for you, and for others, for as long as you and others believe ~ while not existing for those who do not believe.
I think that this might be an explanation for this phenomenon.
What you haven't taken into account, HighVoltageWriter, is that I have been considering this subject for many years. :)
In primary school, we had morning worship every day ~ sometimes this would last for three hours!
When I was about 13, I was one of the few people, in my school form, who stood up and declared myself to be a Christian. I even wore a little enamel badge, proclaiming my membership of the church.
I went to Church meetings three times a week around that time.
I would spend school Religious Education lessons and Sunday School classes debating with my teachers.
I spent many years enduring a fair amount of distress because I tried so hard to believe what my mother and my teachers believed.
I wanted to believe and even believed that I believed ~ yet I actually doubted.
I studied History for my degree, which includes a good deal of Theology. My dissertation was on popular Christianity.
I married in church, took my kids to Sunday school, and had them christened. At that time, I was attending church and having regular meetings with my Anglican priest, which I thoroughly enjoyed.
I had ~ indeed still have ~ many Christian friends and relatives. I talked to them.
I believed the original sin stuff and I prayed ~ and prayed.
But my doubts continued.
One day I listened to a radio discussion with the then Bishop of Durham. He had doubts. Lots of doubts. He did not believe in half of what the churches taught.
I decided then that, if an Anglican bishop could have doubts, then so could I. I didn't need to be frightened of my doubts. That was very liberating.
I also started to question the 'fact' that we are all sinful ~ and I rejected the claim.
I joined an online religious discussion group, where we had many serious in-depth debates.
I started to enjoy reading the Bible. I found that, to me at least, it provided evidence that God was not in its pages. If God exists, then I am convinced that he is not as described in those Biblical books.
To say that I am 'closed to any possibility that Christianity has any merit or truth' is not entirely correct, because, if someone could show me the truth of it, then I would have to accept it.
I did believe ~ admittedly with difficulty ~ but nothing ever made real sense.
I am open to possibilities, but I have looked at Christian religious possibilities for many years, and I have concluded that agnosticism works best for me, because there is absolutely no proof that any Biblical mysticism is true.
Highvoltagewriter, you see something that I don't see. I don't know why different people experience this so differently. I have been looking at this subject for at least four decades, so it is not a refusal; it is a complete inability.
I have come to the conclusion that Christianity is just one of many religions which, over the centuries, has helped to satisfy the needs and fears of the human mind.
I think that there is much about our Christian heritage, which is lovely ~ singing hymns, offering thanks, sharing special times, celebrating Easter and Christmas, constructing wonderful sacred buildings, etc, etc.
Humanity needs ritual and we enjoy it, but, sadly, religion ~ Christianity included ~ has also caused, or enabled, much harm and pain. There is plenty of pain in the Bible. A real loving creator would not behave as the Biblical God behaves.
I agree that there is little point in much religious discussion, if the aim is to convert people. I cannot force myself to believe something, so I am unlikely to change at present, and I would not want to take away your faith, even if I could. I do not have the right or the desire to do so.
I see these as objective discussions, not personal crusades. :)

" I find that it is either the Christian way or not.. although there are many religious views out there. I love hearing both sides of the story."
Then perhaps, my dear, you would be willing to hear this one as well.
A Christian apologist, French mathematician, and physicist by the name of Blaise Pascal(b.1623 - d.1662)devised a simple yet significant game. He called it the "Wager" argument, but you may have known it as the "Probability Theory".
Pascal believed that there is as much evidence to prove God's existence as there is evidence to discount God's existence. So, to deal with this stale-mate he reasoned if all things are equal, and in his eyes they were, the wise person should gamble that God exists.
His rationale is thus: In this game (of life), everyone must make a wager on whether God exists or not...it is inescapable, "The game is in progress and the bet must be laid." Because you have already been born, there is no option...you have already joined the game and now must lay down your bet.
Pascal believed that since the evidence in favor of God's existence was equal to the arguments against His existence, the odds were equal. Hence, reason would not be violated regardless of the choice one makes, therefore reason and logic cannot be used to place the bet.
Instead, Pascal theorized that one should place their bet using a matter-of-fact, no-nonsense (pragmatic) approach to weigh the facts regarding one's ability to achieve maximum happiness as the deciding factor. This is to say, since logic and reason are cancelled out and can be of no help in this matter, one should make the decision based upon which side of the coin would bring them the most happiness.
So, "If one wagers that God exists and He does, one has gained eternal life and infinite happiness. If He does not exist, one has lost nothing."
Conversely, "If one wagers that God does not exist and He does, then one has suffered infinite loss. If He does not in fact exist, then one has gained nothing. Hence, the only prudent choice is to believe that God exists."
Naturally, believing that God exists is only the first step and Pascal knew that. Obviously, the demons from Hell know that God exists and that knowledge did nothing to save them. Knowing that God exists, finding out who He is, and then finding out what He wants from you are the obvious next steps. Whether or not you accept His plan is up to you and will determine where you spend eternity.
What is nice about Pascal's Wager Argument is that it can be used in many different scenarios.
Case in point: Mormonism versus Christianity
If Mormonism is true and Christianity is false, and I am a qualifying Mormon who has received my temple recommend card and who follows all the dictates of the Mormon church to the letter (pay, pray, and obey), I can become a god in the "Celestial" heaven and populate my own planet (eventually) after I receive my certificate from Joseph Smith, Jr., when he greets me upon my arrival in the highest heaven.....
If I am still a good Mormon but did not receive my temple recommend card or perhaps I am just a good non-Mormon person, I still get to go to the "Terrestrial" heaven, which is the secondary heaven where Jesus Christ resides.....
Now, if I am a bad guy, I can still go to the 3rd heaven, which is called the "Telestial", after I have worked off my demerits in spirit prison and good Mormons prayed for me in their temple after my death and baptised me post mortem and after I accepted the teachings of Joseph Smith and his church in the after life.
Now, if Mormonism is false and I believed the lies of Joseph Smith and followed his gospel message istead of Christ's, then I will be burning in the Lake of Fire for eternity with Satan, Hitler, Stalin, Casey Anthony and all the demons of Hell.
On the other hand, if Christianity is true and Mormonism is false and I accept and believe in the gospel message of the true Christ of the Holy Bible and accept Him as my personal Savior, I will be in Paradise with Him, His Heavenly Father, and the Saints of Heaven for eternity.
Now, if Christianity is wrong and Mormonism is correct, I still go to one of their 3 heavens, which aint half bad. So, in this regard, the prudent person should choose to reject Mormonism and choose instead to follow Christ Jesus of the Holy Bible, instead of the ficticious Christ of Joseph Smith's demented mind.
Best wishes to you and yours. - L.R.
Actually, I don't find the Bible mysterious at all. It is clearly a mixture of history, mythology, belief, wishful thinking, dreams, etc, etc.
The ancient authors wrote what they thought, what they had heard, what they had experienced, what they believed, etc.
They interpreted everything as best they could ~ living in their time and place. But they did not have the knowledge or experience that we have ~ particularly advanced modern scientists.
Like all ancient documents, the Bible is well worth reading and studying, because it tells us about the mindsets and the experiences of people long ago.
A learned friend told me that once people stop believing in God, they start believing in anything.
We seem to be emotionally wired to believe in something ~ even if our sense of logic tells us to question things.
I would love to sit and chat with you sometime. I am not one to chat religion or politics with anyone, but I would enjoy speaking with you on this. I find that it is either the Christian way or not.. although there are many religious views out there. I love hearing both sides of the story. Very enlightening.. Great Hub!
I guess that those who believe in anything as long as it's not in the Bible are going to get their "come uppance" aren't they? We Christians know the difference! As sure as the nose on my face, we are seeing "end times" events...you are definitely right. I think this is a great hub. Keep on writing!!!
A fascinating hub and very informative. We are always learning.
Thank you for the lovely Fan mail
Gotta love those Egyptian Hieroglyphs depicting flying crafts such as helicopters, planes and perhaps a B-17 (the "Flying Fortress" bomber plane used in WWII, but without wings shown, but sure looks like a turret)...< A domelike gunner's enclosure projecting from the fuselage of a combat aircraft. Taken from "American Heritage Dictionary.>
The other hieroglyph sure looks like a missile dropping straight down on a mound. ( This mound signifying a village, town, country perhaps ??)
True Christians have never wronged anyone, but there are many who profess to have come in the name of the Lord and then proceed to do unspeakable things.
The Holy Bible is very clear when it states that most people embrace the darkness and flee from the light.
The "Great Accuser" is out of commission. He no longer can hold court before The Almighty to accuse the brethren. His days have long passed, but before he was thrown into the Lake of Fire, he gave his authority over to the beast of Revelation. The evil we see today comes straight from the evil that resides in the hearts of mankind.
Soon, very soon, I intend to start my own Hub. I am not sure, however, if they will allow me to keep the name "Lone Ranger"...for they say that name is already being used (by me). Any suggestions?
HVW! I truly enjoy your hubs! Thanks for letting me know you have new hubs ready.
You did a great job with this hub, I too believe we are in the "days before Noah".
In this day and age, all you have to do is turn on the TV to see how wicked the world has become. Bridezillas is a good example of the way many women act in real life. These women are so selfish, and yet, I KNOW women like this, believe it or not.
The there are the Intervention type programs, everyone is addicted to something, it seems that there are very few people who are just normal anymore.
I am shocked over the number of atheists here on hubpages. Not only do they not believe in God, they seem to have a deep seated hatred of God. I don't understand their anger.
The good news is that God loves those atheists, and all they have to do is love God back and accept Jesus into their lives, and then live the best they can.
God does not make it difficult to get into heaven. Thanks again for another awesome hub!
With the rapture and Holy Spirit gone there "will be nothing left but evil", except for the Jew of course who will be fleeing finally realizing their big mistake, for there will be flesh for at least the millennium. Great hub, love to see the truth and no fear in telling it.
This certainly seems to be the attitude "believe anything as long as it is not connected to the Bible!" Thank you for this message of warning. I will be among those taken out before the time of the tribulation, but there are so many who will be left behind – I'm praying and trying to be a vessel God can use to reach them before it is too late. Blessings ~ eddie
I MUST agree that statment is profoundly true that people seem to blieve anything as long as it is not in the Bible. That is an odd phenomena.
And yes, we are noticing a trend of thigs beginning to follow as in the days of Noah, but we have some time to go-it says that EVERY thought in every mind was for evil intention. I can't agree that we are near that yet at all. I believe that is why the days will be shortened(which I thnk could very well be a natural physical occurance sometime since the last big earthquake that caused the sunami in Japan is said by scientists to have shortened our day by a few seconds as a result of the disturbance in the earth wobble) and the reason the days will have to be shortened for the elect(true believers) is because we will be SO badly affected by the evil in peoeples minds.
We are far from that, but we are seeing the seeds of it now I believe.
This is a thought provoking article, voted up and awesome!
Samantha Stacia
The attitude seems to be "believe anything as long as it is not connected to the Bible!"
I love that line because it is very true. I see people bend over backwards to separate themselves from what is said in the Bible. Yet they still use different quotations to suit their purposes....but that is another topic entirely.
I always thought that the people in Noah's day had a lot of technology. I do think that we are in the days which were very much like the days of Noah and Lot.
Great Hub, and very interesting!
How very true. There are many similarities of the flood in other cultures, however, as you stated, people rather believe anything but the Bible's account. We are living now as in the days of Noah and soon the prophesy of the second coming of Christ will be fulfilled, whether anyone believes it or not.
Vote up and interesting!

The ever-alert animal rights crusader Maneka Gandhi is all set to take up cudgels for the horses in Mumbai. Along with Tarana Khubchandani of Gallery Art & Soul, Maneka Gandhi is hosting an exhibition-cum-sale of antique lithographs to raise funds for the cause. In this tête-à-tête, she reveals more about the raison d'être behind the exhibition.
What cause does People for Animals (PFA), hope to support through this exhibition?
The recent incident of a horse dropping dead while drawing a Victoria carriage in Mumbai left me shaken! It's high time this inhuman practice was stopped. The horses are fed rubbish and afflicted by diseases because they are never taken to vets. They continue to run on sprained and broken legs.
They are kept in makeshift stables, which are filthy beyond belief, or on the beach in the rain and heat. Their shoes are never changed and their teeth are broken from the bits.
Our campaign is being managed by Ambika Hiranandani, a dedicated animal activist. The press has been very supportive and so has the municipal corporation. A lot of likeminded people and organisations have also pitched in; young politicians like Poonam Mahajan, veterans like Pritish Nandy and Nana Chudasama; Lynn D'Souza of Lintas, as well as Amul and RWITC.
The funds from the lithograph exhibition, which Tarana Khubchandani of Gallery Art & Soul is doing for us, will go into whatever is needed for the horses.
You have been marrying art and social causes for quite some time now. Do you find people's response to be more generous when the cause is genuine?
We have been doing one art related fundraiser every year for 20 years. One reason why we manage to sell out is because we keep the prices low; much lower than the market. I would like young people and those setting up a new home to buy art that is affordable yet excellent. Most artists are generous people and they give us their works or permission to use their works in art-related things like carpets, mugs (we sold 14,000 last year) for free. I wish I could say that people buy because of the cause but it is more realistic to say that that they buy because of the authenticity, uniqueness, quality and price. For instance, to get 200-300-year-old lithographs for Rs. 5000 is very unusual and not easy. It has taken us a year to put this collection together.
What kind of lithographs will we see in this year's exhibition?
There are about 2000 lithographs including John Gould's A, B, C Series, Bird's Series, Roses by Joseph Redoute , Plants by Joseph Paxton and William Curtis, Aquatint by James Forbes, Butterfly Series, Vishnu Prasad's Series, Hand Finished Lithographs by Samuel Benjamin Warner… This is the first such exhibition of its kind and I'm sure it'll be a visual treat.
The lithographs have been priced very economically. Is this to attract a wider buyer base or to spread knowledge about the cause over a larger audience base?
I like to make buying art a happy experience. Instead of getting one painting for Rs. one crore, it makes me happier to fill the whole house with pretty antiques for Rs. one lakh. It is with the same mindset that we have priced the lithos so economically. Why buy one painting when you can get an entire wall of the most exquisite flora and fauna in the same budget? It also brings a new art form into the Indian market, which is something we try and do every year. Beginning with a pottery exhibition in 1987, we have so far exhibited myriad genres such as Raja Ravi Varma oleographs, photographs, designer T-shirts and a lot more.
What is the value addition that connoisseurs can expect from this series?
To begin with, they are underpriced so that in itself is a value addition. We sold a thousand Raja Ravi Varma oleographs three years ago for Rs.5000 each. The same are now available for Rs.25,000 each if they are available at all. We had a lithographs exhibition of lithos made by the British and French and sold over Rs. three crores worth. Those are not available now. These lithos are flowers and birds. A unique exhibition of 200-year-old antique lithographs being sold for less than the price of a restaurant dinner will definitely be a feast for genuine art collectors and antique hunters while also creating awareness about the cause and the plight of the animals to a larger audience.
What: Antique lithographs of birds and flowers
Where: Coomaraswamy Hall at the Prince of Wales Museum, Mumbai
When: August 3 and 4. Exhibition from August 6-13 at Gallery Art & Soul, Mumbai.

Do you remember this photo from a previous post?
That was at the beginning of my secret project. There you will find a pile of felt, all leftovers from the birthday crown project; a cream/wheat color valance, which has been packed up and moved to 4 different states, but never used as a window dressing; and my enormous collection of embroidery floss.
I snipped the 'tabs' off the tab-top valance and hand stitched on all the felt pieces. It took a couple of weeks to accomplish, in little bits and pieces when no one was watching.
Friday, finally, all the pieces were ready for it to be sewn together using my lovely, old machine. While the wee ones were busy I hung it up on the wall:
Love Pockets!
Each of the rectangles is open at the top so that it can receive notes from other family members. 😀
As is obvious, I just freehand stitched all the names. That part was the most fun of all. 🙂 While the Mama and Papa pieces are rather straightforward, I found that as I stitched Nic's, his personality seemed to be taking over the stitches, and then that continued with Theo's and Whinnie's. I couldn't be happier with the finished product.
As soon as the boys saw the new 'thing' on the kitchen wall they were curious. When I explained to them what it was, off they ran to get paper and crayons and pencils and start creating. Each pocket had 'mail' within minutes and the activity continued throughout the busy weekend.
Tomorrow I'll post about our busy weekend full of thrifting-finds and craft projects to come.
creatively yours,

Take a look at our pricing here.
Directory Maker

Donor Tracking and Fundraising

Time & Money Saving Communications

Easy Data In! Easy Data Out!
Use our turbo-charged scripts to clean up imported data and compare/match with existing data. Use our fantastic layouts to print or share your organizations information!
We're parents too, so we know that there is a lot you need to know and do to successfully help your school with a limited about of time. We'd like to encourage users to help each other so good ideas can spread to help as many schools as possible.
Membership Keeper has an Open Source component so that you can not only integrate your needs on the fly, but so that you can share your discoveries with other school groups, if you choose.
Should you trust your data to a wholly web-based solution?
FileMaker solutions are databases that work on the web giving you the best of both worlds. Consider the following:
• Ownership of Data Framework: With Membership Keeper, you control the data AND the data framework. If you want to customize it, archive it, or create new reports, you can! If you are not happy with a web-based solution's attributes, you're stuck with an export of your data and no framework. Not very useful...
• Independence from Internet Access: Membership Keeper does not rely completely on an internet connection like web-based solutions. With Membership Keeper, you can work on the source file offline, you can be working on an upgrade offline and switch files when your new set of data (like a new school year of data) or customizations are ready. Can't do that a web-based solution.
• Security of Data: With wholly web-based solutions, it is super easy for users to share passwords, sometimes with unfortunate outcomes. With Membership Keeper, you can choose whether or not to put your data on the internet and how much of it is accessible on the internet.
Customization: Membership Keeper is built on FileMaker® Pro, known as the most user-friendly Desktop Database software. Ease-of-use is a hallmark of FileMaker® Pro.
• Ability to Archive Data with Data Framework: Because with Membership Keeper you own both your data and the framework it is in, you can keep fully-functioning copies of your archive data. With a wholly web-based solution you are likely to end up with just an tab-delimited export of your data. For example, you might want to keep a copy of each school year's data in it's framework so you can still run the reports that you depend on, especially when gleaning alumni data.
DATABASED vs. WEB-BASED
Membership Keeper offers:
• Advanced mobile ready software for your group
• Cloud-based: no IT Staff and no Servers required
• Work on Mac, PC, iPad, iPhone or Web Browser
• Includes Password Protection
• Minimal training to use

Criminy, It's Crinumsby Chicagoland Gardening
- Tags: #Bulbs #Plants
Story & Photography By Jeff Rugg
My favorite plants have to meet a few important criteria. They must survive on their own because I can be a lazy gardener. Insects and diseases must be rare, so there will be no need to spray. I want plants that can grow in the water along the shoreline of my water garden; the hot, dry side yard; as well as indoors. They must have big, showy flowers to please the eyes, fragrance to please the nose, tasty would be nice, and if I could get them to make a noise, I would like that too.
Most plants in the lily family fit some of these criteria and I have many in my house and yard: amaryllis, daffodils, daylily, Easter lily, garlic, onion, tulip, trillium, yucca and many others. Of all the lilies, I prefer the crinums (pronounce "cry num"), probably because like many gardeners, I lust after tropical plants I can't have. These warm-climate bulbs can grow as large as a football and weigh over 10 pounds, easily dwarfing a merely grapefruit-sized amaryllis bulb.
Crinums are naturally tough. Native to warm areas of Africa, Asia, Australia and the Americas, they can survive elephants, kangaroos and hurricanes. I have seen crinums growing in islands between traffic lanes in Dallas and Orlando. They get no irrigation; yet they thrive. Some tropical crinums are used as privacy hedges, but most are only waist high.
The Crinum americanum is native to swamps all around the Gulf of Mexico and the Everglades where I have seen them blooming as far as the eye can see. I have grown one in a pot in my pond for more than 15 years. I bring it indoors every winter as a houseplant that I can't overwater. It has a starburst of 6-inch-long petals that are less than 1/2 inch wide. Linnaeus himself is supposed to have been looking at specimens of the American crinum when he gave the genus the Crinum name after the Greek word "Krinos," meaning comet tail.
Most crinum flowers look like an Easter lily or amaryllis, and there may be 20 or more on a single stalk. A single bulb may send out half a dozen flower stalks at once. Like an Easter lily, many crinums are very fragrant. Most have white or pink flowers, and a few have wine-colored leaves. The foliage of most crinums is sword-shaped and long. Many of these are striped and are frequently called milk and wine lilies. I was surprised to find a milk and wine crinum bulb at a Menards a couple of summers ago, and it has bloomed twice so far.
I have plants of the only crinum variety that may be hardy outdoors in the Chicagoland region. Crinum 'Sangria' is a tough hybrid between Crinum procerum 'Splendens' and Crinum bulbispermum. This 3- to 5-foot-tall plant hasn't bloomed yet, but it will have large pink flowers held at the end of a long bloom spike. If I get around to planting it outdoors, it will go on the south side of the house near the foundation where it can be mulched heavily for the winter.
You can order your own crinums from marcellescinums.com or jenksfarmer.com. For a great indoor crinum, try C. 'Menehune', which has red leaves, pink flowers similar to C. americanum, but only grows 18 inches tall. It grows in water, tolerating drought, shade and full sun.
Some crinums are supposedly edible, but I haven't found any recipes. The plants don't make sounds on their own, but since they attract hummingbirds that do make sweet twittering noises, I can live with that.

The company has completed allotment of 5,005 housing units in five projects through draw of lots of applicants.
Signature Global, one of the key stakeholder of financial investment firm SMC Group, had in May raised Rs 150 crore from ICICI Prudential's real estate fund for development of five ongoing and future affordable housing projects.
The company has started construction in its three projects and will soon start the work in the fourth project.
"The total cost to develop these five projects will be about Rs 950 crore," Signature Global Chairman and Co-Founder Pradeep Aggarwal said.
"Government has given deadline of 4 years to complete a project but we expect to deliver in 3 years," he said, adding that the company is using innovative techniques like mivan shuttering, fly ash bricks and RMC (Ready-Mix- Concrete) plant for fast construction.
The first project will be delivered by end of the next year.
Aggarwal said the company is exploring opportunities for affordable housing projects in Maharashtra, Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh besides Haryana.
The company is looking to add 7-8 new projects this fiscal.
Aggarwal said although the margins are less in affordable housing projects, the sales volumes are higher.
Signature Global Group's promoters were into stock market and financial services sector.
