As you know, this past year, I've recently taken a new focus on skincare. Makeup is only as good as its base...and clear skin is the perfect canvas for flawless makeup application.
One mineral makeup company, Mineral Magic Cosmetics, has recently been acclaimed by national publications for its innovative products and vegan, cruelty-free products. I've seen other Gurus sing praises of this line and I was interested to try them out.
In particular, Mineral Magic has a new face mask that I seemed to call my name. It's called the Mineral Magic Microdermabrasian mask pictured below. Many spas offer a service called Microdermabrasian - a hardcore exfoliating process that's supposed to take years off your skin. This mask touts the same benefits, and is a lot cheaper as well!
The mask comes with a facial brush applicator so that you can apply and buff the product into the skin. The applicator has a sturdy handle which makes it easy to grip, and a plasic cap so that you can prevent dirt and dust from getting in the bristles while you store it.
This clay and oil mixture contains many beneficial ingredients including Aloe and shea butters, avocado, olive and grapeseed oils, and 100% pure, cosmetic clays. The clay also contains Dermabrasian crystals which are essential in the exfoliating process.
NOTE: At first, the masque is an oatmeal color because it is freshly poured. When it has had time to become completely saturated with the oils, it turns to a green clay colour. This is normal. It is not a mold or mildew! It is completely safe to use for one year upon opening the product.
Benefits: As an oil based mixture, the mask is perfect for oily, acne prone skin. This is similar to the cleansing oil method. The oil in the mask will draw out oil and impurities from the skin - giving you the ultimate facial cleanse. The spa quality clay ingredients also contain lightening agents which will fade acne scars and age spots over time.
Testing the Product: Due to my ultra-sensitive skin having past issues with products, I always test out a new product on a patch of skin 24 hours before. No reactions with this - that's a plus!
Applying the Product: Take the facial brush applicator (it's dishwasher safe by the way) and get a little bit of it onto the bristles. Gently buff this onto your face in a circular motion, avoiding eyelids. Leave the product on as desired, up to 15 minutes should suffice. Afterwards, remove with a damp washcloth.
Afterwards: You'll notice an immediate change. Your skin will feel so smooth. The oils in the product really hydrate your skin. If you choose to remove the mask with just warm water, you'd notice more of an oily coating remaining on your skin. This is completely normal and actually good for your skin. However, I'd recommend removal with a damp washcloth if you're not used to this feeling. Place the mask in your refrigerator after to maintain its shelf life - it's good for up to one year.
My Thoughts: I thought this was a great mask, I really saw a difference afterwards. My normally dry skin felt so soft and hydrated afterwards. I also focused the brush on my nose where I tend to have rough skin and clogged pores - it's just as good as a biore pore strip! This mask is definitely better than a lot of other products on the market.
You can purchase this mask and the facial brush for $25 at Mineral Magic Cosmetics.

President Barack Obama will go to Israel in March, the White
House said on Tuesday, marking his first visit to the staunch US ally since
becoming president. While in the region, Obama will make stops in the West Bank
and Jordan.
Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
discussed the visit to Israel in late January, when Obama congratulated
Netanyahu on his success in Israel's recent election. The White House has not
released the date of Obama's trip or details about Obama's itinerary, but Israel's
Channel 10 reported that the trip had been scheduled for 20 March.
"The start of the president's second term and the
formation of a new Israeli government offer the opportunity to reaffirm the
deep and enduring bonds between the United States and Israel and to discuss the
way forward on a broad range of issues of mutual concern, including Iran and
Syria," said National Security Council Spokesperson Tommy Vietor.
White House spokesperson Jay Carney said Obama would work
closely with Palestinian Authority and Jordanian officials on regional issues
during his visit to Jordan and the West Bank.
Obama's trip to Israel, coming shortly after the start of
his second term, could offer an opportunity to repair a notoriously strained
relationship with Netanyahu. But the trip is almost certain to raise
expectations for the type of peace initiative that eluded Obama and his foreign
policy team during his first four years in office.
Obama has in the past warned against setting expectations
too high for a breakthrough in stalled negotiations between Israelis and
Improving image
Although Obama visited Israel and Jordan while running for
president in 2008, he hasn't been back since, drawing intense criticism from
some pro-Israel groups who have claimed he is insufficiently supportive of the
United States' closest Mideast ally.
Other top administration officials, including former
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, have visited, and Clinton's replacement,
John Kerry, is expected to travel to Israel on his first Mideast trip.
For Obama, the trip might also be a chance to improve his
image within Israel, where many view him as not supportive enough of the Jewish
Netanyahu's office in Jerusalem had no immediate comment on
the report of Obama's visit. Hanan Ashrawi, a senior official with the
Palestine Liberation Organisation, said the visit was important given Obama's
expressed interest in playing a role in Mideast peace efforts.
"We hope that this is more than just a symbolic visit,
but with a clear message and clear commitment to the genuine substance and
imperative of peace," Ashrawi said.
The announcement of Obama's visit comes at a time of
uncertainty for Netanyahu who emerged weakened from January's election but will
remain in charge if he can build a governing coalition before the mid-March
Long time in the making
The emergence of a new centrist party in Israel's election
offered hope to those urging the hawkish Netanyahu to make peace with the
Palestinians a higher priority.
Negotiations have remained frozen during Netanyahu's
previous four-year term, in part because of Israeli settlement construction in
the West Bank and east Jerusalem, which the Palestinians claim for their future
Obama's upcoming trip was a long time in the making. In
July, when Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney was hammering Obama on
Israel, Obama's campaign said that if he were re-elected, he would visit Israel
during his second term.
Then Romney himself made the trip, where Netanyahu hosted
Romney as if he were already a world leader. Netanyahu denied backing either
candidate but was widely perceived as preferring Romney.
But the tenuous chemistry between Obama and Netanyahu was
clear from early in Obama's first term. On one visit to Washington, the
US-educated Netanyahu appeared to lecture Obama on the pitfalls of peacemaking,
and gave a speech to Congress in which he appeared to be rallying support
against Obama.
For Obama, starting his second term out on firmer ground
with his Israeli counterpart could also make it easier to co-ordinate on a
number of pressing regional issues of critical concern to both nations. These
include Iran's nuclear programme and Syria's ongoing civil war, plus lingering
questions about what kind of partner Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi will be
in efforts to bring stability to the region.
"Obama knows that he's going to have a lot of
conversations with Netanyahu this year," said David Makovsky of the
Washington Institute for Near East Policy. "Those conversations will be
easier conversations if Obama connects with the Israeli public and demonstrates
what he believes, which is that he has their back."

The very word 'Tahiti' evokes the mystique of one of the most remote and romantic island destinations in the world.
An island hopping escape to even a few of the 118 islands and atolls in this South Pacific paradise is not only the ultimate escape from northern winters, Tahiti is the trip of a lifetime. (Top image credit: Chris McLennan/Tahiti Tourism).
Picture your arrival, welcomed by Tahitian music and fragrant Tiare flowers… and use these highlights of some of the key islands to start planning your island hopping fantasy escape:
They call the island of Tahiti 'The Queen of the Pacific'. It's the largest and most populated island, and is the starting point for travelers, who fly into the capital city Papeete. Don't miss Marae Arahurahu, an ancient Tahitian outdoor temple, or, in the centre of town, the market with tropical produce and fresh local fish and Tahitian arts and crafts, including the biggest selection of pareus (sarongs) in the country. Outside the city, Tahiti boasts spectacular scenery: lush green peaks tower over cascading waterfalls and rippling pools in the interior, and black- and white-sand beaches and turquoise lagoons at the sea.
Moorea is a mere 11 miles across the Sea of the Moon from Tahiti. If that doesn't already sound like a fairytale, consider Moorea's nickname: 'The Magical Island'. It is even said to be the inspiration for the mythical island of Bali Hai. You've seen it in the movies, from Mutiny on the Bounty to Love Affair. But film can never do full justice to the dramatic beauty of the island. Make sure you go to Belvedere Lookout, with its breathtaking views of Moorea's twin bays, Cook's and Opunohu. Look on Moorea's hillsides for its signature produce, pineapples, and visit a local distillery to sample exotic liqueurs from pineapple, mango, coconut, vanilla and other Tahitian flavors.
Here's another magical nickname: the 'Garden of Eden'. Huahine is 110 miles northwest of Tahiti, and actually consists of two islands joined by a bridge. Its main town, Maeva, means 'welcome' in Tahitian! Drive into the hills for spectacular views over white-sand beaches and brilliant turquoise lagoons, and visit restored Tahitian marae (temples), centuries-old stone fish traps, and plantations of melons, vanilla, coffee, taro, mango, and flowers. Do you surf? There are world-class waves at Avamoa Pass, and the world's largest outrigger canoe race begins here each October.

Bora Bora is a tiny island with a big reputation. 'The Romantic Island' has been called the most beautiful island in the world. It's only 18 miles around, circled by a necklace of coral. Lush mountains provide a dramatic backdrop for the indescribable turquoise, lapis and aquamarine of the famous, sheltered lagoon. Bora Bora is home to world-class resorts and quaint continental restaurants, where celebrity A-listers vacation in luxurious seclusion.
The Tuamotu Atolls are the largest of the Polynesian archipelagos, Tahiti's 'Strand of Pearls' with 76 islands and atolls spread over more than 7500 square miles. Four of these atolls – Rangiroa, Manihi, Tikehau, Fakarava – offer world-class scuba diving, horseback riding, shark feeding and deep-sea fishing. In addition, the ecosystem in the Fakarava atoll is a UNESCO biosphere reserve. And Manihi is 'the Pearl Island', the site of the first of many pearl farms that have made Tahiti famous for prized, cultivated black pearls.

Pot Size: H: 11.5 In. W: 11.75 In. D: 11.75 In.
Planter, vase or basket is included in the height.
No watering or maintenance is required. Looks full and fresh every day; wipe clean with a soft dry cloth.
How do I clean, care for and maintain artificial flowers, plants and trees?
To clean your new product(s), we recommend using a feather duster to remove dust.
Can they be put outdoors? Can we spray them with a UV Protectant to put them outdoors?
Our #1 priority is always to cultivate the best products for our customers. Because of this, if the title includes "Indoor/Outdoor" or "UV resistant," you can use them outdoors. But please note that UV resistant offers a bit more protection against natural elements such as the sun - Eventually, how long your new product lasts depends on the environment; with various natural elements such as snow, hurricanes, deserts, and the sun, predicting is hard. Products in covered patios with limited sun exposure can last a longer time; while ones placed in hot climates left in full sun exposure all day will last for a comparatively shorter time. We does not offer UV resistant sprays, nor can we recommend the effective use of any available today.
When I receive my artificial plant, how do I make it look real straight out of the box?
The beauty of our products is that you can create the perfect fit for you. Have an apartment? Dorm? Or your first home? You are in control of your space. With our easy to bend branches, you can move, and shape as you want, safely. As some of our customers call this process "fluffing" the item, many see it as wellness. Many say this therapeutic routine brings them closer to nature. These fun DIY projects allow you to wear your "creative thinking hat" as our products arrive in plastic wrapping and need extra shaping love.
Here are some tips from our lead designers about how to fluff your tree:
1. Work from the bottom up and center out
2. Look at the picture as a reference point
3. Example – With a tree, start with the lowest branches and shape them as close to the trunk as possible.
Are artificial plants better than the real deal? Which is your most realistic looking plant/tree/floral arrangement?
This isn't a battle between which one is better. There is no right answer. Some people have allergies, pets, and small kids that prevent them from having real trees. The best choice for you depends on your lifestyle, budget, and taste. One of the advantages of artificial plants, trees, and flowers is the ease of care. They don't require maintenance, time, or commitment and look beautiful for years to come. For example, if you are intrigued by the exotic desert but live in South Florida, or vice versa, you can now bring the flora of these landscapes to your home.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at any time and we will be happy to assist you!

Lift Kits
Complete Suspension Lift Kits – Choosing the right Jeep, SUV or truck lift kit can be based on several different factors. If you're planning to run a certain size tire and wheel combination, it's important to determine the amount of truck suspension lift that will be needed to ensure a good fit. If your vehicle is used for towing, there might be height restrictions to consider. Sometimes, just the clearance in your garage will determine how high you can raise your vehicle. And, then there's the budget to consider. Whether you just want to look good driving down the streets and highways or you need truck suspension for your off-road adventures, a complete suspension lift kit will accomplish both goals.
Leveling Kits – Typically, vehicles are made with the rear end sitting an inch or more higher than the front. The lower front end restricts the size tire that can be accommodated. By raising the front of your vehicle, you will not only achieve a level stance that looks more attractive and gain more ground clearance, but also be able to add larger tires for a beefier look.
Body Lift Kits – This method of raising your vehicle uses body mount spacers to lift the body away from the frame without affecting the vehicle's suspension. Additional components are required for some vehicles that could include steering extensions, bumper brackets and other brackets necessary to raise the vehicle. A more complete look is accomplished with the installation of gap guards to conceal the frame from view. A typical body lift will increase the height of the wheel well to allow the installation of larger tires.

As Mara just mentioned, the debate last night opened with a question about a claim made by Gingrich's ex-wife. Well, Marianne Gingrich gave her exclusive interview to ABC's "Nightline," putting the candidate's personal life in the spotlight once again. NPR's Tamara Keith has more.
TAMARA KEITH, BYLINE: The interview was incredibly hyped, in part because Marianne Gingrich has been silent so far on her ex-husband's presidential candidacy. This was her first television interview since their 1999 divorce.
MARIANNE GINGRICH: He said I want a divorce. I said is there somebody else, and it was quiet. And I knew.
KEITH: That someone else was Callista Bisek, a congressional staffer two decades younger than Gingrich. They had an affair for six years. Callista Gingrich is now his third wife, and stands by his side at campaign events nodding adoringly. Their affair in the 1990s spans the period when Gingrich led the impeachment of President Clinton, giving speeches about morality along the way. Marianne Gingrich told ABC's Brian Ross she later learned the affair was happening in their Washington apartment.
GINGRICH: He always called me at night. He always ended with I love you. Well, she was there listening.
KEITH: At one point, she said in the "Nightline" interview, Gingrich even suggested they could reach an understanding.
GINGRICH: You want me all to yourself. Callista doesn't care what I do.
BRIAN ROSS: What was he saying to you, you think?
GINGRICH: Oh, he was asking to have an open marriage and I refused.
ROSS: He wanted an open marriage?
GINGRICH: Yeah, that I accept the fact that he has somebody else in his life.
KEITH: At last night's debate, though, Gingrich ferociously disputed this claim.
NEWT GINGRICH: This story is false. Every personal friend I have who knew us in that period says the story was false. We offered several of them to ABC to prove it was false. They weren't interested because they would like to attack any Republican. They're attacking the governor. They're attacking me. I'm sure they'll presently get around to Senator Santorum and Congressman Paul. I am tired of the elite media protecting Barack Obama by attacking Republicans.
KEITH: With the help of a widely supportive audience, Gingrich did his best to make this a story about the media, not him. And this may well have worked, says Todd Harris, a Republican strategist.
TODD HARRIS: He put the media on trial, and any time the media is on trial in a Republican primary, the media is going to lose.
KEITH: Although some of the details were not known, many voters have long been aware of Gingrich's messy marriage history, with affairs and abrupt divorces. Harris says these new revelations may turn off some South Carolina primary voters, but for every one of them, he says there will be another two who blame the media or simply don't trust a last-minute attack.
HARRIS: These are voters who are very suspicious of anything that the mainstream media reports to begin with. And it's very easy for them to come to the conclusion that they're just going to dismiss all of this because they don't like who delivered it.
KEITH: Harris says if this had come out sooner, it might have had an impact. But with only a day left to go before the primary, he thinks Gingrich will be able to maintain his surging numbers in the polls. Tamara Keith, NPR News, Columbia, South Carolina.

Hi All,
I've been thinking about something the last few months. I'm going to have to use the F-word here. Faith. It used to be a dirty word to me. It's something I rejected in religion, and part of the appeal of Buddhism for me in the beginning was that faith did not seem to be required. You do the work and figure things out for yourself. I like that. Well, what do you know, these many years later I'm starting to think that this trust that we put into the practice, this surrendering to just what is... I think maybe this is a kind of faith.
It's not a blind faith in something or someone. It's more like "good faith". The dictionary defines good faith as "honesty or sincerity of intention." Give the practice a real try in good faith for a while and see what happens. Have a little faith in the process and let it work a bit, then decide for yourself if you want to keep going or not.
Signing on with Treeleaf was an act of faith for me, quite scary actually, as I am not a joiner. Since I joined I have committed to shikantaza in good faith, and have set aside my other practices and ways of meditating. I thought I'd try it for a while. And... wow.
I'm not educated in Buddhist sutras or canon. But I don't often hear Buddhists talk about faith. It feels weird to even write this, I have avoided the word for so long. What do you guys think about faith? Does it have a place in Zen? Is it part of your practice?

Some other awesome ladies showing how vintage tea length is done. (You know, I think it needs a cooler name. Champagne length? Rock star length?)
If you like this length, you're certainly not at a loss for patterns. Besides true vintage patterns, re-issues are abundant in tea length. (Though I stand by my earlier suggestion that Vogue offer two variations of their Vintage line in each pattern: one in the original length, and one in a more modern length. Wouldn't that be awesome?)
Vogue 1172 |
Okay, readers. Thoughts on tea length dresses: yea or nay?

There are no big surprises in the new iPhone, but many new and significant features. The screen is longer, but not wider, and movies and FaceTime look better thanks to improved HD support. Better audio and new earbuds round out the multimedia experience. The phone also supports LTE, and has a new--and incompatible--connector called Lightning.
The new iPhone will be called the iPhone 5. The device was introduced at an event in San Francisco on Wednesday.
An extended period of rumor-spreading preceded the event and the rumors seem to have been accurate: There are no big surprises in the new iPhone.
The iPhone 5 will be available on Sept. 21 and will cost the same as the iPhone 4S: $199 for the 16GB model, $299 for the 32GB model, and $399 for the 64GB model. The iPhone 4S price will drop to $99 with a carrier contract and the iPhone 4 will be free with a contract. At launch the iPhone 5 will be available in 100 countries on 240 carriers.
The iPhone 5 will be longer, thinner, and lighter than the 4S, but no wider. Apple's Phil Schiller said the company rejected the direction chosen by many Android phones: "For the first time ever, we've increased the size of the display. By making the screen taller, but not wider, you can still comfortably use it with one hand."
The new screen layout was predicted by the rumors. The resolution is 1136 pixels by 640 pixels, changing the aspect ratio to one close to 16:9, that of typical HD widescreen video.
The change in aspect ratio will affect apps, which have been written for the old design. Such older apps will appear "letterboxed" on the iPhone 5, with black borders on the sides, but displaying normally within them. New apps written to support the new screen layout will typically use the added space to display more information. The iOS Home screen will use it for an added row of app icons. Apple showed the Calendar app with a full five-day workweek as an example, and the CNN app with more news in it.
Is the iPhone 5 everything rumors predicted it would be? Read our top 10 iPhone rumors roundup to see how accurate our predictions were.
The iPhone is 7.6mm thick, 18% thinner than before. It's also 20% lighter at 112 grams.
Part of the weight difference comes from a change in materials: The rear of the phone is no longer glass, but aluminum. The device is available with a black or white front; the white-front iPhone 5 has a natural aluminum back plate and the black one has an anodized black backing.
As rumored, the new iPhone will support LTE in addition to earlier interfaces. In the U.S., the iPhone 5 on LTE will be available on Sprint, AT&T, and Verizon. Wi-Fi on the device is dual-channel 802.11a/b/g/n, up to 150Mbps.
The phone is also faster, powered by a new A6 processor, which Apple claims has twice the CPU and graphics speed as the A5 processor in the iPhone 4S, and is smaller and more energy-efficient.
In its announcement, Apple didn't say much about battery life, only that it will meet or exceed the battery life of the 4S. It will support eight hours of talk time or browsing on 3G or LTE, and 10 hours of browsing on Wi-Fi.
The new camera has an 8-megapixel, 3,264 x 2,448 backside-illuminated sensor. A dynamic low-light mode evaluates nearby pixels to give up to 2 f-stops greater low-light performance. The new image processor in the A6 reduces noise and includes a "smart filter" to do better color matching. Panorama photos can be taken natively, supporting the increased vertical space in the images. A demo shown at the event took a 28MP image.
Video also has been improved. The rear camera is 1080p with improved video stabilization and face detection. Users can take photos while recording video. The front camera is 720p, meaning FaceTime now can do HD video. The new FaceTime, as Apple had announced previously, can be run over cellular data connections.
There are audio improvements as well. The new phone has three microphones: in the front, bottom, and rear. These aid in voice recognition and noise cancellation. The earpiece is also noise-cancelling.
Perhaps the most controversial change is the new dock connector, which Apple calls Lightning. The new connector is much smaller than the standard Apple 30-pin connector, which dates back to iPods of many years ago. Clearly there was much room for improvement, but the change comes with a price: incompatibility. Devices designed for the 30-pin connector will not connect directly to Lightning.
On the plus side, Lightning is reversible, meaning that you don't need to orient it--there is no upside-down anymore. It's also more durable. And Apple and third parties undoubtedly will work on conversion accessories for which there will be a large market. Apple says that Bose, JBL, Bang & Olufsen, and others already are working on new docks and speakers. Even though Apple named the connector Lightning, it did not claim that it's any faster than the older one.
As demonstrated earlier when Apple revealed iOS 6, there is a new Maps application and new, non-Google-supplied data in it. The navigation app uses Siri to deliver turn-by-turn voice directions.
As predicted, Apple announced new earbuds. Dubbed EarPods, they have a new shape that Apple said is defined by "the geometry of the ear." However, they don't create a seal the way other earbuds do. The EarPods have multiple "ports"--openings--for airflow, including the one through which sound travels to the ear.
Not every rumor panned out. As BYTE predicted, the iPhone 5 has no near field communications (NFC) chip, perhaps limiting the usefulness of the new Passbook app for managing coupons and similar assets.

Thinking about getting a Tummy Tuck?
Women and men who have loose abdominal skin and fat that is concentrated in the abdomen can benefit from abdominoplasty. Sometimes these conditions are inherited. In other instances, substantial weight loss may cause abdominal skin to become flaccid. Abdominoplasty also can tighten muscles that have been separated and weakened by pregnancy. The procedure may somewhat improve the appearance of stretch marks, especially those located below the navel.
Your Personal Consultation
During the consultation, you will be asked about the results you would like to achieve from abdominoplasty. This will help your surgeon to understand your expectations and determine whether they realistically can be achieved. Am I a good candidate for abdominoplasty?
You may be a good candidate for abdominoplasty if you have one or more of the following conditions:
- excess or sagging abdominal skin
- an abdomen that protrudes and is out of proportion to the rest of your body
- abdominal muscles that have been separated and weakened
- excess fatty tissue that is concentrated in your abdomen
If you plan to become pregnant or lose weight in the future, you should discuss this with your plastic surgeon. Scarring from previous abdominal surgery may limit the results of your abdominoplasty.
How will my plastic surgeon evaluate me for abdominoplasty?
Your plastic surgeon may examine your abdomen while you are standing as well as lying down. Your skin tone and the degree of loose skin in the abdominal region will be assessed. Your surgeon also will evaluate the amount of excess fat in your abdomen and the condition of your abdominal muscles.
You should come to the consultation prepared to discuss your medical history. This will include information about any medical conditions, drug allergies, medical treatments you have received, pregnancies, previous surgeries and medications that you currently take. It is important for you to provide complete information.

WOW! It is parents like you that make some people wonder why parents don't spank thier
kids anymore.
Yes, well it makes perfect sense to beat a child for wanting to dress themselves.
"Ummm, let's just keep this "friend" outside, buddy."
I suppose it could have been worse. It could've been this friend again...
Or this friend....
My 3 year old jumped up from the table where we were having lunch and ran outside to get his cup that he had left on the swingset. I continued to eat, while conversing with my 6 year old when she suddenly says, "Spaz has a squirrel!"
"No, he doesn't. He just went outside to get his cup."
"Yes he does. He's carrying a squirrel."
"Don't be silly. Eat your sandwich."
"Mom, really, he's got a squirrel by the tail."
I get up and look outside and lo and behold, my 3 year old is indeed carrying a squirrel by his tail. As I open the door to scream, I mean, calmly, tell him to put the squirrel down, the neighbor's dogs run outside and begin barking so loudly it sounds like a kennel. The squirrel freaks out and tries to jump out of my son's hands which makes my son, in turn, freak out and nearly throw the squirrel. I witness, in slow motion, the squirrel kind of fly through the air and land safely on the fence. I wouldn't have believed it had I not seen it.
"Yeah, sure honey, you can keep a rabid, baby rodent as a pet. Let's name him Skippy and keep him forever. Don't worry about the fact that he chewed through our garbage cans. It'll be fun."
The Fox19 Morning News interview was this morning and I didn't throw up or pass out so all went well. They don't have a link to the interview, but the news people only spoke to me via the telephone for about 2 minutes, so you really didn't miss anything.
Tomorrow morning, I'm doing an interview with 103.5 in Tampa at 8:30 Eastern time if anyone in FL listens to that station. The St. Petersburg Times interview is supposed to be in tomorrow's paper as well.

No. Not her. I'm boycotting her.
I can't believe some of the people on message boards and even in the comments here that are talking about "dreading" this game with Hawaii. In particular...
"Boycott the BCS" comments.
If you want to boycott something, then don't buy All State insurance, Tostidos Chips or use FedEx. And then send them a note telling why.
But do NOT turn your back on the Dawgs or withhold your support. The Sugar Bowl didn't want Hawaii, and the Rose Bowl *by rule* wasn't allowed to select UGA.
From the Official BCS Rules: When two bowls lose host teams, then the bowl losing the number one team may not select a replacement team from the same Conference as the number two team, unless the bowl losing the number two team consents.As Dawgnoxious said today, the Sugar wanted us. They need us. Don't you want to go where you are wanted? What were we supposed to do? Just sit at home and pout?
UGA knew the situation coming into the season:
- 1. If you are from a big conference and don't lose a game, you will play for the national title. This has been true 38 of the last 40 years.
2. If you lose once, you are at the mercy of Pollsters and men in funny suits. So don't lose. This is the system, and they aren't implementing a playoff mid-year no matter how much we/you think the system is broken. This has been true 40 of the past 40 years.
3. If you lose twice, you are out. This has been true 39 of the past 40 years. LSU is the first exception to the rule. So don't lose twice.
BUT, never in the history of sports
has ANY school won a national title in a year
in which they lost to the Gamecocks.
The Dawgs need our support. It will take a lot to overcome the natural hangover and disappointment that comes with playing a team like Hawaii. We need to be there and be proud because whether you want to admit it or not....those lei wearing goof balls can beat us.
The Sugar Bowl has been an exceptional Bowl Partner for the SEC for 50+ years. There isn't a finer host city in America. Furthermore, there's not a bowl city that embraces UGA fans more than the Big Easy.
that ends in New Orleans at the Sugar Bowl.
If we wanted the National Title, we shouldn't have pissed ourselves vs. South Carolina, played dead vs. the Vols, or ignored offensive line recruiting for three years. This is the best Consolation prize in Football History.
That's like saying that you'd boycott sex
with Jennifer Aniston because Jessica Alba
turned you down. It's about half a step
below retarded.
I mean really.

Non-GMO Foods
I contacted Bob's Red Mill this week to ask about their policy on selling Genetically Modified Foods (GMO). As you may know, Monsanto and other giants in the herbicide/seed/fertilizer industry have made a play to control the corn and soy markets. The have genetically modified for example, corn so that the worms that eat the corn will die after eating the roots or kernel.
It is estimated that 80% or more of the current corn crop is GMO. So it is highly likely that most of the food products made with a corn ingredient will contain this frankencorn. Understand that this is no longer corn. It looks like corn but it is not corn as our ancestors and their digestive systems evolved to consume. Yes, the blended feed made of corn and soy is also mostly GMO. Yep, the milk too.
Anyway, Bob's Red Mill tells me they have a policy of not sourcing any GMO foods. I will attach their response here. I find it comforting that Bob's has taken this position and I plan on supporting them as much as possible. This GMO issue is a BIG DEAL. The state of California is about to pass a labeling law that will require a warning on the ingredients label if there are GMO ingredients. Everyone except the voters is trying to block this from passing. From what I hear, public support is around 80%, so it should pass. This will have an effect on every aspect of the commercial food business. I'm sure Kellogg's doesn't want to admit the Corn Flakes are made from genetically modified corn. And all that vegetable/corn oil, same thing. This is going to be a shock wave in America that will shake most food processors.
Those of us who enjoy real foods with identity-preserved DNA, and appreciate the value of Organic produce and grains should make a point of supporting companies that feel as we do. This is a big issue. I suggest if you are concerned about your health and our food supply and want to learn more, Google GMO foods.
Hi Eric,
Thank you for your inquiry. Here at Bob's Red Mill, we have made a commitment to purchase only non-GMO products. This means, that all of our products are made of ingredients that were grown from identity preserved, non-GMO seed. This will count only for commodities that are commercially altered: corn, soy, rice and flax (all other grains are still identity-preserved, non-GMO by nature and have not been genetically altered).
I will note that we do not guarantee the complete absence of genetic modification in our products because of wind drift, pollinators and our lack of testing equipment.
Best Regards,
Heather Johanesen

First peek at Nokia Music+ clients for Windows platforms and beyond
Nokia yesterday unveiled an upgrade to its Music service is on the horizon, which would bring more functionality and requested features to consumers who wish a slightly richer experience. What was missing were some screenshots on just how this will look when using an available client.
Nokia has now published a video that runs through some benefits of the new service upgrade, branded Nokia Music+ as well as a quick demo of native Windows and HTML5 clients. We'll be the first to say that it looks like it could go far, especially if the catalogue of music is solid.
Nokia Music as it is right now on Lumia Windows Phones is a handy service, enabling users to access mixes that are provided and updated on a regular basis. While the selection of stations is good, there's definitely room for improvement to further enhance Nokia Music. This is where Music+ is set to come in. While Microsoft has its own Xbox Music subscription, we're pleased to see Nokia take a different approach.
As well as highlights we mentioned yesterday, including unlimited skipping, downloads, higher quality playback and lyrics, Nokia Music+ looks as though it will provide more access for music lovers to mix up genres and more. Artist Mix and Offline Mix both look set to be available, and My Music would make Music+ a full media player experience.
While Nokia looks to release native clients for Windows 8 and RT, as well as Windows Phone, the video also showed off a HTML5 version of Nokia Music+, which is believed to boast similar (if not identical) functionality to the native Windows clients. This will expand availability to cover other platforms.
Check out a quick overview of the service and clients that will be available in the rollout:
Pretty neat, eh? And for just €3.99/$3.99 as a monthly fee, it's not a bad deal. We'll have more information when the service and clients go live in the coming weeks. Sound off your thoughts in the comments.

From the Hans Christian Andersen biography "The Life of Hans Christian Andersen. Day By Day", written by DPhil Johan de Mylius:
Ingemann dies1 January
Return to Copenhagen.
25 January
Reads aloud for a group of ladies at the Workers' Association.
30 January
Is offered 3,000 rdl. by Reitzel for an edition of the illustrated Tales.
31 January
Reads once more for ladies at the Workers' Association.
A highly emotional friendship develops between HCA and Harald Scharff, the ballet dancer, who he had known sporadically since 1857. Their relationship raises eyebrows. The diary, 17th February:
"Theodor [Collin] upset me greatly by pointing out how openly I displayed my feelings for S, that people noticed it and considered it ridiculous".
Their friendship lasts approximately one and a half years.
7 February
Reads aloud at Natalie Zahle's for "the entire female institute" (the diary).
10 February
Is summoned to the king at 8 in the evening, where HCA reads his latest collection of fairy-tales aloud.
"The king was lively, talked about his stay in Switzerland, [HCA had of course read e.g. "The Ice Maiden", which is set in Switzerland] thanked me heartily for the pleasure my reading had given him and shook my hand several times"
(the diary).
17 February
Reads aloud at the Artists' Association.
1862: Ingemann dies
19 February
During the morning, HCA attends a reception held by Frederik VII and Countess Danner. He chats with the countess, who informs him that he will soon be invited to visit again and read for them, and also asks him to bring his album along.
In the evening he attends a ball held by Prince Christian (the later King Christian IX). Quite by chance, HCA had met the prince two days earlier in the street and received the invitation. His choice of clothing for the ball is unfortunate:
"I alone wore black gloves. It bothered me dreadfully"
(the diary).
24 February
Ingemann dies.
4 March
Goes to Sorø for Ingemann's funeral. Arrives in time to see the deceased and witness his vein being cut. Mrs Ingemann relates an account of his final hours. HCA returns to Copenhagen the same evening and attends a ball held by Prince Frederik of Hessen.
5 March
While visiting Einar Drewsen he tells him "about my erotic time" (the diary). HCA is completely engrossed in Scharff at this time. Scharff confides in HCA all his "little secrets of the heart [...] I long for him daily" (the diary, 6th).
8 March
At the Jerichau residence he sees Elisabeth Jerichau-Baumann's painting "Havfruen" (The Mermaid) in a new version. The painting is inspired by HCA's fairy-tale and he finds it "quite masterly".
9 March
HCA's commemorative article on Ingemann is printed in 'llustreret Tidende' (along with a picture of the interment). HCA writes:
"What he planted grows, as it has taken root in the hearts of people. His speech added tones to the Danish language, his spirit of patriotism empowers the sword, his pure thought is like the freshness of a sea-breeze!"
HCA then describes him in a manner similar to the dream Ingemann had told him about and which formed the basis of the poem "Den hemmelighedsfulde Port" (The Gate of Secrets), as:
"awoken" from death, and rounds off by saying: "That which must disappear and waft away is now lowered to the grave, accompanied by the peel of church bells, psalms and tears of the heart; that which will never die is with God; that which he planted is with us, a source of joy and blessing".
Mid March
Sits for the sculptor Fr. Chr. Stramboe, who creates a medallion of HCA to be used by C. Møller, the electro metallurgist.
17 March
Visits Prince Christian (the later King Christian IX).

Listen online
1 The word of the LORD that came to Zephaniah son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah, during the reign of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah:
2 'I will sweep away everything from the face of the earth,' declares the LORD.
3 'I will sweep away both men and animals; I will sweep away the birds of the air and the fish of the sea. The wicked will have only heaps of rubble when I cut off man from the face of the earth,' declares the LORD.
4 'I will stretch out my hand against Judah and against all who live in Jerusalem. I will cut off from this place every remnant of Baal, the names of the pagan and the idolatrous priests–
5 those who bow down on the roofs to worship the starry host, those who bow down and swear by the LORD and who also swear by Molech,
6 those who turn back from following the LORD and neither seek the LORD nor inquire of him.
7 Be silent before the Sovereign LORD, for the day of the LORD is near. The LORD has prepared a sacrifice; he has consecrated those he has invited.
8 On the day of the Lord's sacrifice I will punish the princes and the king's sons and all those clad in foreign clothes.
9 On that day I will punish all who avoid stepping on the threshold, who fill the temple of their gods with violence and deceit.
10 'On that day,' declares the LORD, 'a cry will go up from the Fish Gate, wailing from the New Quarter, and a loud crash from the hills.
11 Wail, you who live in the market district ; all your merchants will be wiped out, all who trade with silver will be ruined.
12 At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps and punish those who are complacent, who are like wine left on its dregs, who think, 'The LORD will do nothing, either good or bad.'
13 Their wealth will be plundered, their houses demolished. They will build houses but not live in them; they will plant vineyards but not drink the wine.
14 'The great day of the LORD is near– near and coming quickly. Listen! The cry on the day of the LORD will be bitter, the shouting of the warrior there.
15 That day will be a day of wrath, a day of distress and anguish, a day of trouble and ruin, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness,
16 a day of trumpet and battle cry against the fortified cities and against the corner towers.
17 I will bring distress on the people and they will walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD. Their blood will be poured out like dust and their entrails like filth.
18 Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to save them on the day of the Lord's wrath. In the fire of his jealousy the whole world will be consumed, for he will make a sudden end of all who live in the earth.'

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Green Bay Packers, 3:30 p.m. PT
Five burning questions about today's big game:
1. Will Maurkice Pouncey play today? Sources say no, but we'll be ready with the cat puns regardless. Also, how do you say "Maurkice"? (I haven't been watching the NFL Network lately.) My guess is it sounds like "Marquis." | |
2. How is Super Bowl XLV not sponsored by XboX LiVe? You blew it, Microsoft. Now you'll only be known as the company that invented MS-DOS. 10 PRINT "HA HA!" 20 GOTO 10 | |
3. Is this picture awesome or what? Click to enlarge. Insert sexy pun here. Heyo! | |
4. How bad did you feel when you read about David Akers' problems at home? He had a lot on his plate. But athletes are supposed to be superhuman and feel no emotions! | |
5. Could this be the last pro football game for the next two years? If there's a football lockout, will baseball be ready to meet America's need for organized violence? Will MLB tweak its rules to encourage brushback pitches and home-plate collisions? Will they add bars to the front of helmets? Will I learn when to drop an already unfunny joke? |
JoePo on Aaron Rodgers! The Next Great Quarterback (SI.com)
Update from Sax: Usually, our Superbowl tradition here at SoSG is to liveblog the ads. Unfortunately Orel is out of pocket (and scrambling for a first down), so I will try and post wisecracks in the thread itself. I'll say now, though: that Darth Vader kid in the VW ad is the horse to beat at this stage. Good luck.

If you have chronic jaw pain, you know how difficult eating, speaking, or even smiling can be. Many sufferers will do anything to gain relief, even surgery. But before you go down that road, consider the traditional conservative approach to temporomandibular disorders (TMD) management first. It could provide the most relief with the least risk of side effects.
The temporomandibular joints connect the lower jaw to the skull on either side of the head. These ball and socket joints also contain a cushioning disk to facilitate movement. This disk is believed to be the primary focus for jaw pain problems known collectively as TMD.
Doctors now believe injury, stress, metabolic issues, jaw anatomy defects, or similar factors trigger the chain reaction of muscle spasms, pain, and soreness that can erupt during a TMD episode. A TMD patient may experience pain within the jaw muscles or joints themselves, clicking sensations, or an inability to open the jaw to its full range.
TMD Therapy
TMD therapy has traditionally followed an orthopedic path—treating jaw joints like any other joint. In recent years, a more aggressive treatment model has emerged that promotes more invasive techniques like orthodontics, dental work, or jaw surgery to relieve discomfort. But the track record for this model, especially concerning jaw surgery, remains hazy at best and offers no guarantee of relief. These techniques are also irreversible and have even made symptoms worse in some patients.
It's usually prudent, then, to try conservative treatments first. This can include pain and muscle relaxant medication, jaw exercises, stretching and massage, and dietary changes to reduce chewing force. Patients with teeth grinding habits may also benefit from a bite guard worn at night to reduce the biting force during sleep and help the joints relax.
Relief From TMD Symptoms
By finding the right mix of treatments, you may be able to find significant relief from TMD symptoms with the conservative approach. If not, you might then discuss more invasive options with your dentist. But even if your dentist recommends such a procedure, you would be wise to seek a second opinion.
TMD can definitely interfere with your quality of life and peace of mind. But there are ways to reduce its effects and make for a happier life.
If you would like more information on managing chronic jaw pain, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Seeking Relief from TMD."

The holidays allow plenty of opportunities to get creative with delicious dinners, decadent desserts and stunning sides. But, sometimes we all forget that the little bites you set out before the main course are just as important.
These cinnamon roasted almonds with a touch of cayenne pepper for a little kick of spice make both a impressive and tasty snack and a thoughtful homemade gift for the holidays!
It's as simple as this: Toss some whole almonds in a mixture of egg whites and water, spread them out on a big baking pan, and sprinkle with sugar, salt, cinnamon and cayenne. After the almonds bake for about an hour, let cool. Then, just package them pretty in a re-sealable glass jar with a little ribbon, and voila! A sweet (and a little spicy) gift from your kitchen that everyone will love munching on!
Spicy Cinnamon Roasted Almonds
- 1 egg white
- 1 teaspoon cold water
- 4 cups whole almonds
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Lightly grease a large baking sheet.
- Lightly beat the egg white; add water, and beat until frothy but not stiff. Add the nuts, and stir until well coated. Mix the sugar, salt, cayenne and cinnamon, and sprinkle over the nuts. Toss to coat, and spread evenly on the prepared pan.
- Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, stirring occasionally, until golden. Allow to cool, then store nuts in airtight containers.
- Enjoy!

Don't you want to win this? |
As you probably can guess, I think way too much about food. Besides feeding my family on a daily basis, I'm usually thinking up some new recipes, working on an article or two, pinning good-looking eats from other websites .... you get the picture.
One recipe that has eluded me through all of this food obsession was a good recipe for vegan corn pudding. What is corn pudding you might ask? It is kinda like mushy cornbread, but better. My mom went through a phase of serving it up as a side dish for a while when I was a kid. Every recipe I have looked at uses too many eggs for me to easily substitute, and my attempts have not yielded what I am searching for.
That is just one of many reasons that I jumped for joy when I received a copy of Great Gluten-free Vegan Eats to review. This delightful cookbook is written by Allyson Kramer, the blogger behind Manifest Vegan, a completely awesome website. Great Gluten-free Vegan Eats is just what I would have expected from such a talented recipe writer and food photographer. The book is gorgeous and filled with dishes that I think most anyone would want to rush to cook.
Baked Corn Pudding |
Some standouts include:
- Baked Corn Pudding
- Asparagus and Mushroom Tacos
- Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
- Wendy's Zesty Black Eyed Pea Salad
You get the picture.
And, by the way, the corn pudding was just as good as I remembered it.
Don't you want a copy of this cookbook, too? Good thing the publisher will send one to one of my lucky readers!
To enter, leave a comment about why you'd like to win this book after this post. For another chance, "like" Welcoming Kitchen on Facebook and leave another comment saying that you did (or already do), for another "follow" Welcoming Kitchen on Twitter (@welcomekitchen) or Pinterest and leave comments with that info, too.
Remember, I need to be able to let you know that you won. Either check out this post or the Facebook page on Wednesday, September 5 or leave contact info in your comments. I will pick a winner after noon CST on Wednesday, September 5, 2012 using a random number generator.
Good luck!

No Manhattan Bound F Train Subway Service From Roosevelt Island To Manhattan This Weekend - RIOC To Run Tram 24 Hours and 2 Tram Cabins From 12 PM to 7 PM
As reported in post earlier this week, there will be no Manhattan Bound F Train Subway Service from Roosevelt Island this weekend
The Roosevelt Island Operating Corp (RIOC) announced that they will be running two of the Tram Cabins at certain times during the weekend.
This weekend (12:01 AM Sat to 5 AM Mon, May 14 - 16), Manhattan-bound F trains will run via the M line from Roosevelt Ave to 47-50 Sts. The Manhattan-bound F train will not stop at the Roosevelt Island Station.UPDATE 5/15 - Roosevelt Island Resident Carol Elbaz was on a crowded Tram Saturday morning before both Tram Cabins were in service, took this picture
RIOC will provide 24-hour Tram and Red Bus service during the weekend to minimize the inconvenience to Island residents.
There will be 2 Trams running during the hours of 12 PM and 7 PM on Saturday and Sunday. At all other times that weekend, both Trams will run at 15 minute intervals.
and asks:
UPDATE 7:10 PM - A reader commented:
Love this blog, but leaving that comment with the photo is misleading, and potentially upsetting to people who don't know any better...Another reader adds:
There is a digital readout on the tram operator panel, in large red numerals, of the tram passenger weight, given in percent. Even on mornings when the tram is _packed_ with people (ie no strollers and no bikes) the readout is rarely above 50% capacity.
So, chill out. The tram is not being overloaded!!! :)
The tram has weight sensors and would not run if it was overloaded. How did the poster of the picture know it was over capacity?I don't think the photo or the comment is misleading. It may be factually wrong in terms of the crowded Tram being over capacity but overcrowding is certainly an impression of some Roosevelt Island Tram riders.
I have heard similar comments regarding Tram overcrowding during certain times from many other people. The way to counter these claims is for RIOC to provide additional information explaining to the riders of the Roosevelt Island Tram what procedures are being maintained to insure the proper operation and safety of the Tram such as the weight sensors mentioned by the two readers above.
I took the Tram over to Manhattan earlier this afternoon. Here's the crowd waiting at the Roosevelt Island Tram Station
and inside the Tram Cabin on the way to Manhattan
this afternoon with both Tram Cabins operating. The Tram operator did leave several people at the Tram Station on this particular trip explaining that the Cabin was at full capacity. I don't know if the weight sensors were used by the Tram Cabin Operator to determine the Cabin was full or if it was just because nobody else could fit in.
On another Tram topic, has anyone else noticed that the Tram appears to be making the Trip back and forth at a slower speed recently?

Chapter 8
The woman taken in adultery is brought before Christ—Christ is the Light of the world—He again proclaims that He is the Messiah—The true children of Abraham believe in Christ—Jesus says, Before Abraham was I, Jehovah.
1 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
2 And early in the morning he came again into the atemple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a awoman taken in badultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now Moses in the alaw commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger awrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without asin among you, let him bfirst cast a cstone at her.
8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own aconscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I acondemn thee: go, and bsin no cmore.
12 ¶ Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the alight of the world: he that followeth me shall not bwalk in cdarkness, but shall have the light of life.
13 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.
14 Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know awhence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell bwhence I come, and whither I go.
15 Ye judge after the flesh; I ajudge no man.
16 And yet if I ajudge, my bjudgment is true: for I am not calone, but I and the Father that sent me.
17 It is also written in your law, that the atestimony of two men is true.
18 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the aFather that sent me beareth bwitness of me.
19 Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had aknown me, ye should have known my Father also.
20 These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.
21 Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your asins: whither I go, ye cannot come.
22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.
23 And he said unto them, Ye are from abeneath; I am from above: ye are of this bworld; I am not of this world.
24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall adie in your sins: for if ye bbelieve not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
25 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.
26 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have aheard of him.
27 They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do anothing of myself; but as my bFather hath ctaught me, I dspeak these things.
29 And he that asent me is with me: the Father hath not left me balone; for I cdo always those things that dplease him.
30 As he spake these words, many abelieved on him.
31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye acontinue in my word, then are ye my bdisciples indeed;
32 And ye shall aknow the btruth, and the ctruth shall make you dfree.
33 ¶ They answered him, We be aAbraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever acommitteth bsin is the cservant of sin.
35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
36 If the Son therefore shall make you afree, ye shall be free indeed.
37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were aAbraham's bchildren, ye would do the cworks of Abraham.
40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and acame from God; neither came I of myself, but he bsent me.
43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot ahear my word.
44 Ye are of your father the adevil, and the blusts of your father ye will do. He was a cmurderer from the beginning, and abode not in the dtruth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a elie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a fliar, and the father of it.
45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
46 Which of you aconvinceth me of bsin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
47 aHe that is of God bheareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
48 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a adevil?
49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I ahonour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.
50 And I seek not mine own aglory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see adeath.
52 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never ataste of death.
53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my aFather that bhonoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:
55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
56 Your father aAbraham brejoiced to csee my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, aBefore Abraham was, bI am.
59 Then took they up astones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so bpassed by.
