Tips for Managing Money
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Matthew 6:33
Avoiding financial problems will help give you the peace of mind to focus on the more important things in life. Different budgeting methods work for different people, but it is important to have some kind of system. The following tips will help you to become more financially responsible.
Make a Budget
The first thing you'll need to do is write out a monthly master budget. List all expenses including your tithe, bills, groceries, gas, savings, etc. Don't be a perfectionist during this step, or you might end up not writing down a budget at all. It's okay to estimate in categories you aren't sure about because you can update the amounts as you receive your bills. If you find that you are spending more than you make, you either need to cut back on spending or find a way to make more money.
Plan for Every Payday
Using your monthly master budget as a guide, write down a specific plan before each payday. Every month is different. Perhaps someone has a birthday or the car needs an oil change. Check the due dates on all of your bills to determine which ones need to be paid this payday, and pay those bills as soon as you get paid. Do not spend the remaining money, especially if you get paid more than once a month. Only spend the amount that your monthly master budget allows since some of this check might be needed to help pay a future bill. This may seem obvious, but people tend to be short sighted.
Keep Track of Due Dates
When it comes to writing down your master monthly budget and payday-specific budgets, you can either do this on paper, a computer spreadsheet or on the notepad app of your phone. Even if you don't write checks or have a checkbook register per say, having some kind of record of when you paid each bill will help you keep track of approximate due dates in case a statement gets misplaced. This register could be right below your budget in your notepad app or spreadsheet since it's best to keep everything all in one place.
Remember that Something's Got to Give
If you go outside of your budget in one area, you will need to make that up in another area. For example, if you have to pay a speeding ticket this month, perhaps you can plan meals around whatever food is already in the pantry or spend less on gas by staying home more. Budgeting is about making choices because you can't have everything.
Having at least a few hundred dollars in your savings account is important and will help prevent you from borrowing money. Build up this emergency fund even before trying to pay down credit cards. If you use money from your savings account, make yourself payments to build it back up as soon as possible.
Pay off credit card bills by paying the minimum payment on everything except for the one you are focusing on paying off. Some experts say to pay off smaller balances first for a sense of accomplishment, while others recommend starting with the one with the highest interest rate. Just be sure that you are making a larger payment on one of your bills. Once you pay off that first bill, use the extra money to make an even larger monthly payment on the next bill you want to pay off. In this way, you will build momentum, and your debt will decrease more quickly.
$200 is the New Zero
When it comes to your checking account, avoid letting the balance get too low. If you make a mistake, you don't want to end up in a vicious cycle of paying overdraft fees. If you only have $200 in your checking account, then that should mean that you have no money left to spend. Keeping some kind of cushion is especially important if you are like me and don't write down every purchase.
By taking a few minutes to look over your finances every day or every week, you will remember to pay your bills on time and avoid spending more than you can afford. There will likely be times that you don't have all of your financial ducks in a row, but a little bit of planning will help you to be a good steward and decrease the frequency of financial problems.

Gay Bar Massacres Then and Now
In 1973, someone knocked on the door of a gay bar in New Orleans and lit a trail of lighter fluid on fire, killing 32 patrons. This arson was barely investigated and many people refused to identify or bury the victims. Families were embarrassed and homosexuals were afraid of losing their jobs if they admitted to knowing anyone in that bar. Radio hosts made light of the situation, and public officials remained silent. At least three bodies were never claimed. The following is a quote from this New York Time's article:
"Churches refused to bury the victims' remains. Their deaths were mostly ignored and sometimes mocked by politicians and the media. No one was ever charged. A joke made the rounds in workplaces and was repeated on the radio: 'Where will they bury the queers? In fruit jars!'"
The same article refers to the early 1970s as "a time of pernicious anti-gay stigma." You see, back then more Sodomites were in the closet, and those that came out were usually disowned by their families.
No, the killer wasn't motivated by some fundamentalist Christian preaching hard against sin. The primary suspect was a homo who had been kicked out of the bar earlier that day. Just like with Orlando, it was a case of one wicked murderer killing other evil people.
Among the charred remains found at the "UpStairs Lounge" was the body of a Sodomite minister. He was the pastor of a community church that was notorious for welcoming homosexuals. Even though this man pastored what was probably the most liberal church in town, he had not come out to his family as a homo. When his mother found out what had happened and realized what he was, she refused to accept his remains.
Just like after the Orlando attack, hate mail was sent to a church--but to a different kind of church and for a different reason. People were furious with an Episcopal bishop for holding a memorial service for the victims. A Unitarian church and a Methodist church also had services, and mourners had to be ushered in through a back door. Are you noticing the stark contrast from the way things are today? Apparently, mourning Sodomites was not in vogue in 1973.
"For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret." Ephesians 5:12

Forgetting Those Things Which are Behind
Often people commit sins with serious consequences and do irreparable damage to their lives. If that's you, don't get the attitude that you've already blown it so you can't serve God. Don't compound the punishment by going into even more sin. All of us have veered off course in some areas of our life, but God can still greatly use us.
"For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief." Proverbs 24:16
Children of Israel
When some of the children of Israel found out they weren't going into the promised land, it wasn't time to give up and forsake Moses. They still had the responsibility of staying with God's people and raising their children. Just because a parent has made mistakes in life doesn't mean that the parent can't be greatly used of the Lord to raise godly children. Perhaps your children will grow up and do whatever it is that you were supposed to do.
Woman at the Well
The woman at the well had made a mess of her life, yet she was still used to tell others about Christ. Maybe you've been divorced multiple times or have done some other irreparable damage to your life. That doesn't mean that there's no place for you in your local church. Obviously, the Bible has specific criteria for a pastor or a deacon, so that door is closed for you. But there are many other jobs you can do for the Lord, and everyone should go soul winning.
In Psalm 51, we read David's prayer unto God where he wants to continue to live for God after his sin with Bathsheba. When David was confronted by the man of God, he repented. He confessed his sins and went on to do more for the Lord.
Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee. Psalm 51:1-13
Samson was raised by godly parents and had a great gift, but what did he end up doing? He broke his Nazarite vow and chased women to the point of completely ruining his life. At the end of Samson's life, the Philistines enslaved him and actually poked out his eyes. When Samson's hair began to grown again, the symbolism there was that God was still able to use him. The purpose of Samson's life was to deliver the children of Israel from the Philistines, which he did end up doing in the end. Ideally, he wouldn't have had to die in the process, but there are consequences for our sin. Even though Samson messed up repeatedly and was a failure in many ways, he probably had satisfaction in knowing he was still fulfilling his purpose.
Hopefully, we won't ever commit the same sins as some of these Bible characters, but we will all fall in some way. Don't ever give up. God's mercies are new every morning. As long as you are on this earth and still breathing, then God has something for you to do. Confess and forsake your sin and keep moving forward in your Christian life. Even if it's not his first choice, God does still have a plan for you.
"Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:13-14
Here is a sermon on God's Plan B for Our Lives.

How to Have Unity in the Local Church
"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" Psalm 133:1
Have Humility and Be Longsuffering
"I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace." Ephesians 4:1-3
Have the Right Doctrine
"One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. Ephesians 4:5-6
"Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind." Philippians 2:2
"Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing. Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. Philippians 3:16-17
"For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it. For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you." 1 Corinthians 11:18-19
"And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;" Ephesians 4:1-14
Avoid Clicks and Factions
"Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?" 1 Corinthians 1:10-13
Learn How to Forgive
"Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you." Ephesians 4:31-32
Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil. Ephesians 4:26-27

A Time to Hate
If the only Sodomites you see are on the "hell-e-vision," then you will gradually become softer on them. TV is not real, friend. Many Christians, if they are honest with themselves, would probably have to say that they were somewhat indifferent to what happened in Orlando. Well, having no love for the Sodomites is a start. I mean, good night, I would hope that most fundamental Baptists weren't mourning a bunch of perverts carousing in a "gay" bar.
But now, persecution has come. The homos have come after us with their protests and other persecution, but it isn't working. They think they will cause people to become more tolerant, but being confronted by protestors week after week has the opposite effect. It only makes the people at these churches angrier.
For those who have only seen the protests via the news clips, you are only seeing a part of what goes on. The media will show you the "Love Conquers Hate" signs, but they won't show you the signs that say things like, "WE'RE GOING TO RAPE YOUR SISTERS AND MOTHERS." Yes, that was an actual sign that was held up here at Faithful Word Baptist Church. Signs seen at Verity Baptist Church on Sunday morning mocked the Lord Jesus Christ, and on Sunday evening at Verity, a sign calling Pastor Jimenez an obscene name was shown to children as they made their way to their cars with their parents.
The protestors aren't silent either - they mock people who are trying to ignore them. Calling godly ladies whores and tramps and making fun of an older man's gray hair are a couple examples of the heckling that goes on as people make their way out of the building. This type of behavior only serves to get church members even more fired up about being faithful to church and doing more soul winning.
Yes, there are occasional casualties because this is a war. We are fighting a spiritual warfare, and I encourage you to stay in the battle. When someone leaves your church amidst persecution, why don't you just take that person's place by becoming more involved?
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Ephesians 6:12
I've seen posts on facebook where the Sodomites are discussing which type of protest signs are more "effective." I'm not sure how they think they can quantify this since we have not backed down. The Bible is still being preached, and the faithful keep showing up for church and soul winning. Perhaps by effective, they mean that the more peaceful sounding slogans make for better propaganda. No matter what the signs say, just having these freaks show up at our churches is very effective, but not in the way they intend. It is effective in waking up complacent Christians by turning their indifference into hate.
"A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace." Ecclesiastes 3:8

The Death Penalty for Adultery?
When someone says that homosexuality is worthy of death according to the Bible, people inevitably will bring up other sins that were also punishable by death in the Old Testament. They think they are somehow catching us in hypocrisy, but the truth is, Bible believing Christians DO agree with those other Old Testament penalties as well. This sermon on the Correlation Between the Old Testament and the New Testament provides an overview of the differences between then and now. In short, though, we just need to realize that God's laws were the law of the land in those days. Today, adultery is not punishable by law in the United States, but it should be.
Yes, a righteous government would implement the death penalty for those tried and convicted of adultery. We all know normal people who have unfortunately committed this grievous sin, and of course we wouldn't want them to die for it. If we were to somehow vote in a law making adultery illegal, it would not be retroactive--it would be the law going forward, and adultery rates would plummet and so would divorce rates.
Think about it, though. Do you really think as many people commit adultery in societies where it is punishable by death? Of course not…so you can relax about your Aunt Trudy who cheated on her husband thirty years ago. If Aunt Trudy had lived in a society that enforced the death penalty for adultery, chances are she would never have committed that sin in the first place.
How many people would risk their lives to sleep with someone other than their spouse? Occasionally someone would try to get away with it—just like some people commit murder despite the consequences. But most don't. In countries where adultery is still a capital crime, it's not an everyday occurrence and usually ends up in the news. Just as capital punishment is a strong deterrent against murder, it has the same effect on other crimes.
Telling us that we would not want people we know and care about to be put to death is a straw man argument. We don't want our friends and family to be convicted of murder either, but they probably won't kill anyone, so we don't worry about it. When the children of Israel committed adultery, they knew the risk going in.
Here is a sermon on Preventing Adultery.

Paypal is Not our Pal
We live in perilous times, folks. Apparently, "ONE LOVE" equals one opinion. The only acceptable opinion now is to be pro-Sodomite. Anyone who does not support the homosexual agenda runs the risk of being blackballed to the businesses who serve us. The Devil does not want to see our ministry expand, and right now, he's using his children to try to stop us from collecting any online donations. These "people," and I use the term loosely, are relentless! Apparently, they already don't want us to buy or sell.
"And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name." Revelation 13:17
PAYPAL is ORLANDO!
How are they doing this? The Sodomite community has shut down our online donations by complaining about us to PayPal. I wonder if PayPal's decision to close our account has to do with them having an Orlando, Florida, address. Well, when you call their customer service department, the guy that answers does sound like he parties after work at "Pulse."
"Q" is for...
Not only did PayPal cancel our account, but each time we've switched to a different service, they've gone after that too. We've now been dropped by Givlet, BitPay and Qgiv. What does that "Q" stand for anyway?
The Search Continues
This temporary inconvenience isn't going to stop our ministry from going forward. We'll keep cycling through these companies until we find one that doesn't care about getting complaints from a few vile reprobates. Our money's green, so I am sure we'll figure out something soon. In the meantime, we ask that those who would like to make a donation visit our website to get our mailing address and send a check.
Thank you for your Support
To everyone who helps support us financially, we are eternally grateful. Thank you for helping to further the cause of Christ. Preaching is free, and we will continue to preach the same message regardless of finances, but the donations definitely help us to extend our reach.
The Times they are a Changin'
Just a few years ago, well-known fundamental Baptists were speaking out against homosexuality, without the backlash. Unfortunately, they've trimmed the message, but I haven't. Here's a sermon from 2006, where I preached the same message that I'm preaching today. It's our society that is changing, and things will only get worse…
26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. (Luke 17: 26-29)

Three Reasons Why People Quit on the Man of God
As you already know, Pastor Roger Jimenez has gotten negative attention from the media regarding his sermon on the Orlando shooting. When the Sodomites and their sympathizers scheduled protests at the church, Verity's attendance was stronger than ever, but what you may not have noticed is that not all of Verity's regular attenders showed up. Not only that, but some have said that they won't be coming back. Why did a few people decide to leave Verity over this? Did they disagree with the sermon when it was preached in its entirety on that fateful Sunday night? No. In fact, they enjoyed every minute of it.
What these fair weather friends did not like were the consequences of the stand their pastor took. They loved his boldness until they heard the reaction of the liberal media, the homosexual community and perhaps some of their namby-pamby friends. Sadly, a few of Verity's active members bailed on the man of God at a time when he needed them most. There are a few main reasons why people quit during times when their pastor is particularly unpopular with the world.
The love of money is the root of all evil, so it's not surprising that the first reasons people cite for not staying faithful to church during a controversy is that they are worried about losing their jobs. They need to reread these famous verses in Matthew 6:
"24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
Fear is definitely a factor when people faint in the day of adversity, but it's not just the fear of losing their jobs. Often, people will shelter their children to the point of selfishness. When conflicts arise, we still want our kids to come to church with us. They need to be in church, and we want them to see us taking a stand against these freaks. Yes, we will arm ourselves and be ready to protect our families, but we will also trust the Lord to protect us.
"The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the Lord." Proverbs 21:31
Worldly Viewpoint
Some of the same people who are quick to condemn others as worldly for not having the exact same personal standards that they have, are by definition worldly themselves.
"Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world." 1 John 2:15-16
Prioritizing money and the praise of men over supporting the man of God is extremely worldly. Not only is it worldly to lust after earthly riches, but worldly Christians are surprisingly susceptible to being brainwashed by the media, with its falsified numbers and chopped up interviews.
Hopefully, these few deserters will have a change of heart when they see how quickly this thing blows over. Verity had a record breaking turnout on Sunday in spite of those few flakes not showing up, but their absence was still disappointing. Even as Verity Baptist Church continues to grow and thrive, the shepherd will still mourn the loss of a few of his sheep.
Here is a sermon to go along with this article...

Jews are more Pro-abortion and Pro-homo than the Irreligious!
Gallup poll that was just released, a greater percentage of Jews find abortion and homosexuality acceptable than those who have no religion at all. So much for "Judeo-Christian" morals! We'd better just stick with CHRISTIAN morals. Judaism is a wicked religion, and those who practice it are some of the most immoral people in the world. Yet Christians today have been deceived into believing that Jews are under the blessing of God!

Milo's stitches are out
Milo is such a bouncy dog that he needed to be drugged just to pull the stitches out. We didn't want to risk having him jump just as the knife was next to him while cutting the stitches, which is what he just about did at first. So, he is now completely out of it while relaxing on the couch with Lorie. I've added a couple of new photos in the Milo In London photo album. (scroll to the end to see the new ones)
The Tidal Thames
For those of you who have visited, you know I walk Milo by the Thames River and am often amazed by the fluctuations in the tide. It moves about 16 feet (4.7 meters) each day, and that's just over the next few days. Check out the tidal flow near the Hammersmith bridge from http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/coast/tides/tides.shtml?date=20070628&loc=0115:
Alan explains the new changes in the UK government
Our friend Alan has a good write-up about Gordon Brown taking over as Prime Minister now that Tony Blair stepped down. See: There's a new sheriff in town
New Housing Construction
Two houses in Fulham have been torn town and are being replaced, with new houses complete with basements. These houses are what us Americans would call "row houses", but are quite normal in London. I promised my brother photos of the dividing basement wall being built, which are concrete blocks with packed-foam insulation, so here they are:
International London
Tonight proved interesting as I was at a work-related dinner with people from all over the world, then an interesting ride home. The highlights are:
- India: Thomas from France explained his experience living in India in the early 1990's when he got cable TV and the cable guys came up dug up the road to lay the cable to his house, only to find out that whatever was on the one (and only) cable channel was whatever the guy at the main cable office was watching. When the cable guy would change channels, everyone with cable would suddenly be watching a new show.
- Japan: The guys from Japan explained how stopping traffic to help film some stuff for MTV in Tokyo can get you arrested.
- Brazil: Pulling an armed robber out of your father's car in Brazil just isn't that uncommon.
- Korea: Having a good time with karaoke in Korea can easily last until dawn, at least for Canadians.
- Syria: My taxi driver tonight was from Syria and had been a "diplomat" in the military there for 10 years when they tried to overthrow the government in 1970. That didn't go over so well and he spent 10 years in prison for it. He can no longer go back to Syria, but he does suggest visiting because it is a beautiful country. He's 72 and taught me that Thank You in Arabic is "shockra", although I think I mispronounced it.
This is not a typical evening in Longview, WA!
On another note, Milo's drainage tube is now out, but still has stitches in his chest for another week or so.
Brian's New Office
No, the entire building is not just for me. However, it is a nice building even if it is a little bit like a library inside: very quite and bland. However, my desk at least has some beads from Bourbon Street adventures in New Orleans to help give it some color.
Click on the picture to get a good view of the entire area.
Milo still recovering – watching the Glastonbury concert
It's tough being an only dog with no kids to compete with. Really! Who else has to suffer being held on his back just so he can sleep, or having bowls of water and food held up to his cone so he can eat? Thank God for Amazon who supplies us with movies (like Netflix in the US), which allows us to watch bad Jane Austin movies (via Lorie's selections) and Rambo (via my selections on free TV), and the Internet which supplies a never-ending amount of work.
Thankfully for Milo, there is a big music festival being broadcast on quite a few TV channels. The gig is at Glastonbury, which is also the name of it. So far, I like the Arctic Monkeys and Amy Winehouse: I'm not sure what Milo likes.

By YWCA Australia Vice President Roslyn Dundas
Indigenous women from around the world are ensuring their voices and unique experiences are also being heard at CSW. On Wednesday the International Fund for Agricultural Development and the International Indigenous Women's Forum convened a panel "Indigenous women working for change and moving ahead since 1995".
Speakers included Tarcila Rivera Zea (Peru), Victoria Haraseb (Namibia), Govind Kekar (India) and Megan Davis (Australia). One of the key themes that arose was the lack of access to education. Tarcilia from Peru called for the allocation of aid to strengthen the traditional knowledge of indigenous women – affirming local knowledge and supporting women to be in a position to transmit that knowledge to another generation.
The forum noted that while Indigenous activists defend traditional culture based on human rights, we also need to continue to review traditions – as there are traditions that require transformation to respect women's rights (such as female genital mutilation)
Megan, a Cobble Cobble Aboriginal woman from South East Queensland, spoke of the recently announced Australian National Congress of Australia's First Peoples. This congress has a mandated requirement of 50% representation from women. Megan noted that while this was a significant win, it does not mean the job is done. We cannot let men think there is equality now, as there are still underlying and hidden issues that will impact on women's participation in the Congress. Megan is the Australian candidate for the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues.
The forum concluded with a challenge for us all to examine ways we can ensure positive policies from one government to the next, as indigenous women often find hard fought for wins overturned following elections. And this linked back to the opening discussion about education, as Tracila reflected an education is needed to be able to participate in the political processes.

Don't miss the Hull and East Riding Museum where you will find a woolly mammoth and one of the world's oldest boats.
Did you know some of the oldest boats in the world were discovered in East Yorkshire? Between 1937 and 1963 three boats were found on the bank of the River Humber. They were dated at around 2000 years old and were the oldest sailing vessels of their type to ever be found. Tools also discovered at the site indicate that there may have been an ancient boat yard at the site to which sailors from all over Europe travelled.
One of these boats is now on display at the Hull and East Riding Museum, part of a collection of 8 free museums in Hull's city centre.

DEEP approves expanded deer hunting season at Stone's Ranch
Connecticut's Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) today announced that expanded deer hunting will be permitted at Stone's Ranch Military Reservation in East Lyme, starting on October 26. The property consists of approximately 2,000 acres of state-owned land, which is managed by the Connecticut National Guard.
In an effort to meet statewide deer management objectives and reduce problems associated with high deer densities, DEEP and the Connecticut National Guard have agreed to administer a cooperative public hunting program. Access will be strictly controlled through an on-line daily permit system, in addition to an on-site check station as the only point of access for hunters.
"We welcome the opportunity to participate in a joint effort to ensure that deer populations in this region of the state are continuing to be managed properly for public benefit," said William Hyatt, Chief of the DEEP's Bureau of Natural Resources.
In years past, deer hunting at Stone's Ranch was limited to portions of the shotgun and muzzleloader seasons only. This fall, archery deer hunting will be included, as well as turkey hunting with archery equipment. Access periods will be as follows, except during specified days when closure is necessary for military operations:
· October 26 - November 19, Archery Deer/Turkey
· November 9 - November 16, Youth Deer Hunter Training Days
· November 20 - November 29, State Land No-lottery Shotgun "A"
· November 30 - December 10, State Land No-lottery Shotgun "B"
· December 11 - December 24, State Land Muzzleloader
· December 25 - December 31, Archery Deer/Turkey
A maximum of 40 daily permits will be available each day of hunting. Daily permits are available through the on-line sportsmen's licensing system (www.ct.gov/deep/sportsmenslicensing) up to three days in advance, on a first-come, first-serve basis. All hunters must first purchase the appropriate firearms deer (State Land No-lottery "A," State Land No-lottery "B," or State Land Muzzleloader) or archery deer permit, obtain a daily permit ,and check-in and out with staff at the Range Control Building.
More information is available by contacting the DEEP Wildlife Division's Franklin Wildlife office at 860-642-7239 (Mondays through Fridays, from 8:30 AM-4:30 PM).

Mike Massimino
NASA Astronaut and author of Spaceman
Photo credit: NASA
About Mike Massimino
Mike Massimino's road to NASA started in July 1969, when he first watched Neil Armstrong walk on the moon. Growing up in a working-class family on Long Island, Massimino's singular focus on his dream propelled him to Columbia and MIT. Massimino's good humor and affable personality kept him afloat even as he was rejected from NASA's notoriously competitive astronaut training program three times. After his third rejection, he was told his poor eyesight stood between him and his longtime ambition. Massimino, too tenacious and driven to give up, began rigorously working to improve his eyesight. His focus and effort paid off, and he joined NASA in 1996.
Life as a NASA astronaut challenged Massimino's resolve, humility, and intelligence in unanticipated ways, from the physical strain of practicing spacewalks underwater to handling the profound devastation of losing friends in the tragic Columbia shuttle accident. But in 2002, he achieved his dreams with his first spacewalk, a moment described reverently in his memoir, Spaceman. On both space flights, Massimino and a small group of astronauts were tasked with making crucial repairs to the storied Hubble Telescope.
In talks that celebrate the necessity and beauty of science as much as they do the wonders of the universe, Massimino tells audiences how his own fascination with the cosmos along with teamwork, passion, and persistence turned a childhood dream into a lifelong journey. His smart, funny, and moving stories serve as impassioned argument against giving up the dream of space travel, and showcase showcase the brave, innovative men and women who make it possible.
A de facto spokesman for NASA, Massimino has costarred in the film Hubble IMAX 3D, hosted specials on PBS, the Discovery Channel, and the National Geographic Channel, and played himself on the CBS sitcom The Big Bang Theory. He cemented his role in both the history of social media and space exploration when he became the first person to tweet from space. A graduate of Columbia University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Massimino lives with his wife in New York City.
Speaking Topics
Under Pressure in Zero Gravity – How We Saved the Hubble through Innovation and Determination
How do you take out over one hundred small screws from a machine that wasn't designed to be taken apart? How do you do it with the knowledge that any mistake might compromise the ability to discover life on other planets? And how do you do it in space? Using his own experience on the crews that repaired the Hubble Telescope as an example, Massimino not only teaches audiences how his team's persistence and creativity saved one of mankind's most important pieces of technology, but also how innovation and determination are skills that everyone has and anyone can hone.
The Importance of Teamwork
Mike Massimino knows what makes for a strong crew, and his dedication to being the best possible leader for his team led to them setting a record for the longest consecutive spacewalk, a record which still stands today. In this speech he lays out his personal and inimitable philosophy on creating and leading a strong team capable of facing challenges with innovation, creativity, and enthusiasm.
Spaceman: An Astronaut's Unlikely Journey to Unlock the Secrets of the Universe
In this entertaining talk, Massimino chronicles his journey from a six-foot-three Long Island kid who was afraid of heights to a two-time veteran of NASA space flights. With humor, humility, and intelligence, Massimino takes us through his childhood obsession with space, his reconnection with his astronaut ambitions thanks to the movie The Right Stuff, and his multiple attempts to gain admission to NASA. His determination leads to a successful career as an astronaut, and a dramatic, moving, and humbling new understanding of the importance of teammates, family, and fellowship.
Praise for Mike Massimino
Praise for Spaceman
An engaging and uplifting memoir that's sure to give readers a deeper appreciation for the U.S. space program and inspire some future astronauts.— Publishers Weekly
Massimino's incredible journeys, filled with grit, courage, suspense and thrills, are told with such candor and delight, that for a brief moment I felt I'd finally made it to space too. Read this book and be inspired to reach for the impossible.— Brian Greene, Columbia University, author of The Fabric of the Cosmos
Inspired by moonwalkers, Mike grew up, became an astronaut, and fixed the Hubble Space Telescope, all while remaining some kinda' humble. You can't help but follow him from Long Island to the bottom of the spacewalk practice pool, then 350 miles up and back. He's a spaceman through and through; he tells how hard work can take you out of this world.— Bill Nye, the Science Guy, CEO of the Planetary Society
Mike Massimino writes about space with an astronaut's eye and an engineer's precision. You'll be impressed with his journey and his perspective on where a well-developed space program can take us in the future.— Senator John Glenn

Deb Meyer from Heartland Community Church in Sun Prairie, WI brings us these tall trees that look like coat racks.
They created these with two phases in mind. The first four weeks they left them simply white and lit them from below with LED par cans. Then for their Christmas Eve services they covered them with thousands of tiny white lights.
From the designer:
We wanted an abstract tree shape, which would be in stark contrast to our black backdrop and change by reflecting the various colors from our LED lighting.
By having three different tree heights we created the illusion of depth in our " forest" of trees.
Each tree is composed of three components: a main structural trunk, tapered branches, and a tapered face trunk, which was applied to the front of the tree.
We chose 8', 10', and 12' lengths for our trees. The main structural trunk was made by ripping a 2" x 6" in a long taper starting with a 4 1/2" base to a 3/4 " top. This yielded 2 trees per 2" x 6". These were screwed to a 3/4" plywood base, which was eventually screwed down to the stage floor.
Branches were constructed of 1/4" plywood cut in tapers to the desired sizes scaled to each tree size. We simply cut several sizes using a taper jig on a table saw.
To the front of each tree we applied a long tapered face trunk made from 1/4" plywood.
Finishing: The structural trunk was painted flat black along with the backside of each branch and face trunk. The face side of the branches and the face trunk were painted flat white. By painting both sides of the branches and face truck, we reduced unwanted reflection from the back and prevented the thin plywood from warping.
Assembly: We attached a 3/4" plywood base to each structural trunk. We oriented the structural trunk with the tapered cut to the rear. Branches were stapled to the structural trunk in the desired pattern. Between the branches we stapled 1 1/2" filler strips to the structural trunk to create a flat surface for the face trunk. The tapered face trunk was stapled to the front of each tree. By changing the height of the face trunk on the different trees we created the illusion some trees were further away.

Make your battery storage
The Gippsland Solar team have been advising customers to hold off on installing battery storage and busily doing their research to come up with the most efficient energy storage system. This year we'd like to introduce Reposit – an energy management system that works with your battery to ensure you are only connected to the grid when you have to be, and when prices are at their lowest.
Reposit gets to know you and your energy consumption patterns over time and adapts accordingly. It learns and predicts your energy usage so you're getting the most from your solar. It even collects weather data for your exact location, and adjusts your battery storage level depending if tomorrow will be fine and sunny!
On top of this predictive behaviour, Reposit also sells your power back to the grid for $1 per kWh when grid demand is highest – saving on your energy bills which means, on average, you'll pay off your battery in half the time.
It allows you to be what we call a 'prosumer', providing your own baseload (renewable) electricity to the grid when it is required. It really will revolutionise the energy market, and we are incredibly excited to be among the first companies selected to bring this into the market.
The Reposit box is installed in your meter box and connects to an app which displays your energy consumption, solar generation, battery behaviour and energy costs in real-time. It takes all this information and suggests simple ways to use your energy more effectively and to lower your bill even further. The clever design makes your energy usage easy, and even fun to understand.
How much does it cost?
Reposit only costs $600-1000 depending your system
Is it compatible with my system?
Reposit is compatible with all existing solar systems, but it requires a battery to operate. Reposit is designed to operate with LG Chem and other popular batteries on the market.
We're here to help
Give Us A Call
We're here to talk to you
Monday to Friday.

More from the Candy Jar Stories . . .
This is one of my absolute favorite stories about Tootsie Pop. I smile every time I think about it. LOL!
Okay, let's see our friend Car-ee (pronounced Car, like automobile car and then ee, Car-ee) even funnier. This was the name Skittles gave her because he couldn't pronounce her real name. Car-ee, if you are reading this, I'm sure your version is a lot funnier, since you were actually there.
Lollipop and Tootsie Pop were staying with Car-ee while Santa and I were at a computer software convention or on an installation trip. Anyway, they were staying with her for several days. They were pretty small, Tootsie Pop might have been 7 or 8 years old, I guess.
Car-ee had a pretty large garden and she thought it would help pass the time if they helped her pick vegetables out of the garden. So she explained some of the basic rules about picking vegetables. They were about to pick green beans one day and Car-ee explained that the green beans needed to be longer than their finger in order to pick them. Otherwise, if they weren't as long as your finger well they needed to grow a little longer.
So they get buckets and head to the garden. Everything goes along pretty well at first, and Car-ee checks to see how the girls are doing and she sees Tootsie Pop doing this really weird thing.
She is picking green beans and checking them against the length of her finger just like Car-ee said, but then she's throwing them back into the garden. Car-ee comes running over to her and says, "Sweetie, what in the world are you doing?"
Tootsie Pop, very matter-of-fact, says, "Well, these ones are too little so I'm throwing them back because they need to grow some more." (you know like fish or something)
You just can't make some of this stuff up. LOL!!

Fitzroy is a bit of a graff paradise. No actual designated legal wall there but heaps of open minded locals that in most cases are more then happy to let you paint their house if you ask them. Hooked up dozens of walls there within a few weeks. Might as well check for old, faded murals and ask if you can overpaint them.
*don't paint over old faded Murals- they would have been left for good reason (EG. done by Keith Harring)
Is this wall still safe to paint?
Have a photo of this wall?

so if the leader falls do all the cards in the fellowship fall with it?
on Jun 1st, 2014 @ 01:40 PM
yes. this is definitely on my "want/need this" list.
on May 30th, 2014 @ 01:41 PM
Good choice of boxart. Now I'm eager to see the rest.
on May 30th, 2014 @ 12:48 PM
Huh, if you're putting out a deck based entirely on fellowships... I imagine there's a lot of cards you aren't showing us that work specifically on the fellowship skill. Search the deck for a fur that could join a fellowship? Alterations that affect completed fellowships? Actions that are stronger if used on a full fellowship?

I'm hoping to see something about the Havens added in the starter decks.

Sold! I'm gonna be spending a lot on the 1st.
on May 30th, 2014 @ 09:04 AM

Here is the Gender Analysis for TaxProf Blog:
We guess http://taxprof.typepad.com is written by a man (52%), however it's quite gender neutral.
Here are the results for other blogs by Tax Profs:

Parents everywhere want the best for their children. The best schools, the best jobs, and — ultimately — the best mates. Choosing a partner may be the single most important decision we make in life, since for most people, marriage and family are the foundation of happiness. But finding a compatible match becomes ever more difficult as societies become more developed and more complex.
In traditional societies, children (both male and female, but especially female) had little choice about who to marry. One of the great accomplishments of the Communist era in China was the elimination of arranged marriages and the liberation of women. But that doesn't mean that people today marry only for love. Matchmaking is making a comeback, especially among China's middle class.
Matchmaking has now become something of a competitive sport in China's biggest cities. Matchmaking in today's China is the job of the mothers. They promote their children's prospects while enjoying a weekend out in a center-city park. Or not enjoying. Chinese mothers are known to be extremely competitive, and protective of their own children's reputation.
One of the many potential deal-breakers for prospective partners in China is the potential spouse's residency status, or hukou. Every person in China is registered to a particular place, and although the freedom to move residence is slowly increasing in China, people's legal hukou still has a strong influence on their access to education, healthcare, and property rights.
Legal hukou is especially important in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai. These cities are considered highly desirable places to live, and as a result their city governments are very selective in extending local hukou rights. When a registered resident of one of these cities marries an outsider, it can take up to 10 years for the spouse to gain local hukou.
As a result, parents in these major cities consider local hukou a strategic asset for their children, akin to inheriting an apartment or attending a good university. The proud matchmaking mother of a big-city child might demand that a prospective rural mate bring to the table a higher degree or more property than her own child, to even out the score.
But the more difficult the negotiations, the harder it becomes to find a mate. An unintended consequence of modern matchmaking is that people are marrying later. The average age at first marriage in China is now 26 years old, similar to the age in Western countries. For women in big cities like Shanghai the average age is over 30 — and climbing.
The later people marry, the less likely they are to have children. Since 2016, families in China have been allowed to have two children, but it is becoming clear that few will ever reach that point. Late family formation, career disruptions, and the high costs of raising children are discouraging Chinese families from going beyond one child.
Ironically, by encouraging their children to hold out for the perfect match, Chinese mothers may be reducing their chances of getting what many of them most desire: grandchildren. The longer people put off family formation, the fewer children they have. This is leading to the perpetuation of the "4-2-1" family structure in China, in which four grandparents and two parents all compete to share the affection of just one grandchild.
Childless China
China was once infamous for its draconian one child policy, under which most couples were limited to having just one child. Exceptions were made for some ethnic minorities, farm families, and families where both parents were themselves only children. But for the most part the policy was strictly enforced — by fines, denial of services, and even forced abortions.
Today, Chinese parents still need a license to have children, but all couples are now allowed to have two children. The problem for the country's demographic health is that they don't want to. For most Chinese families, one is enough.
China's total fertility rate is now hovering at around 1.2 or 1.3 children per woman, well below the replacement rate of 2.1 required to maintain a stable population.
People in Western countries are also getting married later and having fewer children, but in Western countries there are two balancing forces that tend to keep the population stable. First, in Western countries there are at least some people, often recent immigrants, who have larger families. In China, every family is capped at two children.
Second, Western countries have come to accept the idea that couples can have children out of wedlock. In Anglo-Saxon countries like the United States and the United Kingdom, more than 40 percent of all children are born to unmarried couples. Many of those couples later go on to marry, but they don't have to wait until they're married to start having children.
In China, by contrast, having children outside of marriage is illegal and single mothers face substantial fines that can force them to give up their children for adoption — or worse.
The net result is that China's total fertility rate is now hovering at around 1.2 or 1.3 children per woman, well below the replacement rate of 2.1 required to maintain a stable population. Government policy is partly to blame. But similar problems across the region suggest that even without the one-child or two-child policy, China would still be facing a demographic crisis.
A Regional Crisis
China is not the first Asian country to face an aging crisis, and it won't be the last. Dramatic increases in life expectancy have combined with equally dramatic declines in fertility to produce rapidly aging populations throughout the region. Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan are already struggling to cope with huge populations of retirees. Vietnam is expected to follow over the next few decades.
But other Asian countries are making major efforts to address their declining fertility. For example, Singapore is holding a public debate about the needs of parents and the barriers they face in having more children. Options on the table include greater parental leave, split parental leave in which both the mother and the father take time off, and more family-friendly workplaces. Such measures go well beyond the blunt cash-for-babies subsidies of the past.
China doesn't have an open society in which people can air ideas about how to adjust to new social realities. While other East Asian countries debates the meaning of love, marriage, and raising children in the twenty-first century, in China, the government controls the debate and represses dissent. As a result, creative solutions that might lead to broad societal change never receive a hearing.
Most of the debate in China about changing family structures is happening inside government think tanks like the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. Ordinary people are left out, and left to their own devices. As young couples increasingly pursue twenty-first century lives, mothers get ever more desperate to match up their children. The solution is a more open society, but openness is the one solution that the Chinese government cannot accept.

Noise and Your Health
Many human activities result in the creation of noise, which makes it a challenge to control in a dense and growing city like Toronto. Common source of noise include transportation (aircraft, road vehicles and, rail cars), construction and landscaping equipment, household appliances, power tools and sound systems.
Exposure to high levels of sound can result in adverse effects to humans, including:
- Hearing problems
- Heart disease
- Memory and mental function problems
- Sleep disturbance
- Annoyance/stress
Toronto Public Health addresses concerns due to noise by reviewing proposals and providing advice on major initiatives.
For more information on environmental noise and related health effects, see Health Canada and the World Health Organization websites, as well as our recent report on Health Impacts of Environmental Noise.
Toronto's existing Noise bylaw (Municipal Code, Chapter 591, Noise) is currently under review by Municipal Licensing and Standards and Toronto Public Health is participating in this process.
The Medical Officer of Health as part of our Health Impacts of Environmental Noise work will be convening an inter divisional working group to develop a Noise Management Action Plan. The following actions can reduce your exposure to harmful levels of noise:
- Buy Quiet – select and purchase low-noise tools and appliances
- Maintain tools and appliances routinely
- Reduce the volume on your television and portable music devices
- Isolate the noise source in an insulated room or enclosure
- Use sound barriers, such as double paned windows, weather stripping or planting trees to act as a buffer between the noise source and your family
- Wear an ear protection device for noisy commutes or other inescapable noisy environments
Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport operates a Noise Management Program which receives and investigates noise complaints.
Toronto Pearson Airport Noise Management Office receives, analyses and responds to complaints.
For all other noise complaints contact the City's 311 service online or call 311 from a Toronto phone number. For more information, visit 311's Bylaw enforcement – noise complaints page.
Toronto Public Health in collaboration with Ryerson University conducted a study on noise levels in the City of Toronto. The goal of the study is to characterize noise level exposures among Toronto's residents. Outcomes of the study will be used to identify and address general and specific noise situations where potential health impacts are present and be used to inform the Noise Bylaw review by Municipal Licensing and Standards.

Dark-Chocolate Cookies
Handheld desserts are ideal for picnics. Chocolate sandwich cookies, packed in loaf pans, will hold up in transport.
For the Cookies
For the Filling
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Make the cookies: Whisk together flour, cocoa, and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually add flour mixture, beating to combine. Shape dough into 2 disks, wrap each in plastic, and freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.Advertisement
Working with 1 disk at a time, roll out dough to 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Using a 1 1/2-inch biscuit cutter, cut out rounds. (Return dough to freezer if it softens.) Space rounds 1 inch apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Freeze until firm, about 15 minutes. Brush off excess flour.
Bake cookies, rotating sheets once, until edges are firm, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer cookies, on parchment, to a wire rack, and let cool completely.
Meanwhile, make the filling: Place chocolate in a medium bowl. Heat cream, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar and salt dissolve. Pour over chocolate. Let stand for 10 minutes. Gently stir until smooth. Let stand until firm enough to spread, about 15 minutes.
Spread 1 1/2 teaspoons filling on half the cookies. Top with remaining cookies.
Cook's Notes
Assembled cookies can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.

Didn't see anything about this in my searching, so please tap to the rhythm if old.
I was checking my Amazon preorders when I noticed this small blurb on the Curtain Call page:
Strange description. Is the "alternative packaging" the game itself? Are they saying there's more to the "Limited Edition" than the CD sampler? Probably not.
