March 1857 marked the beginning of an organized mission by The Society of Jesus in British Guiana with the arrival of James Etheridge, SJ and two Italian companions, Aloysius Emiliani from the Roman Province, and Fr Clement Negri from Naples. Six more Jesuits arrived 8 months later in November. The situation facing Etheridge was to proclaim the gospel of God's love in a country whose population was made up of indigenous Amerindians, recently emancipated African slaves, the European colonialists who had enslaved them, and ever increasing numbers of arriving indentured labourers from a variety of countries.
Among the indentured labourers, there were, of course, the Portuguese from the island of Madeira. These had arrived already steeped in Catholic faith and tradition and while their practice of their religion might leave much to be desired, they still clung to it with a fierce pride. Soon after their arrival they had started looking for alternatives to the hard labour of the cane fields and within a short time many had become overseers, farmers, hucksters, merchants and shop keepers. To replace them on the sugar estates, at the suggestion of John Gladstone, the father of a future British Prime Minister, the English colonists had turned to another corner of the British Empire: the Indian sub-continent. On 5 May 1838, the Hesperus and the Whitby docked in Georgetown with the first consignment of "East Indians".
The Italian and Maltese Jesuits who arrived with Etheridge had been picked specifically with the needs of the Portuguese community in mind. In a short time they mastered the Portuguese language and began intensive work among the Catholics from Madeira. They preached sermons in Portuguese and introduced Portuguese hymns and devotions that had been familiar to their congregations back in Madeira. More importantly they were able to visit and converse freely with Portuguese families in their homes, listening to their concerns and encouraging them in their faith. Such pastoral care paid dividends and soon the congregation attending the one Catholic Church on Brickdam became far too large for the small building. A plot of land was purchased in Main Street through the help of a wealthy Portuguese businessman Manuel Fernandez and a new church dedicated to the Sacred Heart was built. The Christmas midnight mass of 1861, celebrated by Fr Benedict Schembri, provided a fiting moment to mark the official opening of the new church.

The Jesuits in Georgetown, Guyana
The Catholic Diocese of Georgetown had around nine distinct parishes in the city, but in the last few years the administration & planning for the urban churches has been centralised and the parishes have combined to a single 'Pastoral Area' which has developed an integrated sacramental and formation programme across the city. Three Diocesan priests care for this area and the Jesuits resident in the city assist their work in different ways – Masses, preaching, adult education & catechesis etc… The Jesuits in Georgetown are also responsible for a 30-minute weekly TV programme ("The Catholic Magazine") and have written extensively for "The Catholic Standard" (the national weekly Catholic newspaper) over many years.
The Jesuits have an interest in wider education and so we are involved in various ways with some schools in the city.

We still have a few copies left of our two beautiful traditional Catholic wall calendars for 2016.

Our second calendar is full-colour on glossy card stock, and features images of the cathedrals of Europe.

Prayer of Restoration
To be Recited Daily
Let us pray.
Almighty and Everlasting God, * we beseech thee to restore unto this world of sin * that faith which St. Peter thy first Pope and Prince of the Apostles * did once humbly confess; * and commit once more, * through thine infinite mercy, * the government of thy Church * unto a worthy Vicar of thy Son; * that he may be bestowed with such increase of all virtues * as may be pleasing in thy sight; * and that being so adorned, * he may lift from the Church and from all nations * the heavy weight of heresy * that presseth down upon us; * and rendering Christendom once more acceptable in thy sight, * may bring at length all nations * to render due homage at the feet of their divine King, * even Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, * who liveth and reigneth with thee, * in the unity of the Holy Ghost, * ever one God, * world without end. * Amen.
About Us
The Guild of St. Peter ad Vincula was established in 2014 by the Confraternity of Ss. Peter & Paul as a congregation of Catholic priests, religious, and laity, working and praying together for the restoration of the traditions of the Church, primarily though prayer and penance.
We declare our complete submission to the Roman Catholic Church, and seek to do our part to bring her back to her own unambiguous submission to the will of God. We remain ever mindful of the promise of His Divine Son that He will abide in His Church even until the end of time. We firmly believe all the truths of the Catholic Church as taught throughout her history, and are ready to die to preserve the integrity of this Faith. We take as our patron saint the first holy Pope and Bishop of Rome to whom Our Lord gave the keys of His kingdom. The See of Peter is now in chains, and we are anxious to answer the call of that same Angel who appeared to our glorious patron in prison, saying: "Arise up quickly. Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me."
Membership is open to all Catholics who have the vocation to assist in this godly work. We have three tiers of membership: Our priests are dedicated to providing the traditional Mass and sacraments. Our religious men and woman divide their time between prayer, chiefly in the common recitation of the Divine Office, and work in the active apostolate. Our oblates attach themselves to the work of a specific mission and help support its apostolate insomuch as their duties of life permit.
Our aim is to provide peaceful and harmonious communities of priests, religious, and lay oblates where Roman Catholics who recognize that things have not been going well with the Church since Vatican II can rediscover their traditional faith and values and help provide an oasis of truth and prayer for all who seek God.
We have no interest in the polemics and never-ending divisions prevalent among so many who practice the traditional form of worship. Our aim is rather to provide a spiritual home for those fellow Catholics who seek to lay aside divisive trivialities and unite instead around the never-changing dogmas and moral values taught by Christ's Church.
We therefore welcome to our Missions and Priories all those of good will, who, while they may vigorously hold their own opinions on matters yet undecided by the Church's teaching authority, still recognize that other Catholics of similar good will may favor an alternative opinion. We support all attempts by those who confess the same faith and reject Modernism to try to find answers to the often vexing questions posed by the current situation in the Church. At the same time we reject any pretense of authority by elevating our conclusions to the level of "dogmas".
his does not imply any weakness whatsoever in our defense of the actual dogmas and teachings of the Church which have been passed down to us undefiled since the time of the Apostles, and which have been defined and otherwise imposed as divinely revealed truth by the legitimate teaching authority of the Roman Catholic Church. By these truths we live, and for these truths we are prepared to die.
We remain Roman Catholic, with our allegiance to the everlasting Rome of
truth and tradition, resigned in these unhappy times in which we live to
submit entirely to the unseen Will of God. In the absence of
legitimately authorized superiors, we count on God alone to bestow His
blessings on our enterprises, and we look to the powerful protection and
guidance of Christ the King, as manifested in the holy innocence of His
infancy. For this reason we have recognized in the Holy Infant of Prague
the supreme expression of this absolute power absolutely incorrupt. We
have remembered His words and etched them on our hearts, that "Except ye
become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of
heaven." And we surrender our own will unto His, as with humble
submission we call to mind the words of Isaiah the Prophet, who told of
the day when "a little child shall lead them."

I finally made up my mind and chose a color for the walls in our master bedroom. I can't thank you all enough for sharing your opinions! You are the best sounding board ever! I think Sherwin Williams Amazing Grey was almost the unanimous winner, but there were a few votes for white walls. Some of you even thought the builder beige was the way to go. But in the end I sided with the majority, and my husband 😉 (his opinion matters right?) and chose to go grey.
How Did I Decide?
Rather than thinking about what I want the room to "look" like, I did what I actually tell my clients to do. I sat down and really thought about what I want our bedroom to "feel" like. And when making a list of words to describe the feeling I was after, it became abundantly clear that grey would be the best choice to drive that home.
Cozy, Relaxing, Calm
I don't think white would have been as calming or relaxing. For me, white walls feel fresh and energetic. Clean and bright, but not really calm or relaxing. Not for me anyway. And the builder beige while cozy, just didn't make the room feel relaxing. In my mind cool colors do that more so than warm tones.
Contrast & Balance
With so many other warm tones in this space between the rugs, chairs and wood furniture I also felt that going with a grey color on the walls would bring in some much needed contrast. Balancing the warm tones with some cool would make the bedroom feel much more calming and relaxing. The grey wall color also had the effect of bringing out more of the brown rather than the red undertones in the furniture. Grey added in a more modern vibe to the space, and I big time love the way the mirror stands out now.
There is still much to be done in this room. The current pillow situation on the bed is not final. These are just stand-ins for now. Curtains are next on my list, then a bench for the foot of the bed……and accessories…….and……..it never ends really. 😉
For now I'm just loving the view when I walk in to our bedroom. And I like how the grey balances the blush and keeps the room from feeling overly sweet.
This beautiful artwork really takes center stage now, and I can't wait to get her up on the wall! More design progress coming sooner rather than later I hope!

Traveler Beware of Money Leaks
There are money leaks in the budget of travelers, a slow seepage of money out of your pocket and onto the ground.
I can always tell the people with the biggest holes in their pockets, they say comments like,
"It was so cheap compared to home; the price is not a big deal."
This person will be returning home soon.

I purchase these room supplies when I thought I was moving into one apartment for 5500 Baht per month. The deal fell through and I left all these items in the room, I deserted them.
2 Pillows 100 Baht
1 Broom 30
Water 40
1 Funky Pillow 100
Vegetables 30
Total 300 Baht or 8.61 USD
Eight Dollars, which is a huge amount of money to lose…
I know this is not much money, trust me I do know, I owned a 24-foot sailboat in the USA, however in Thailand it is one days wages.
The world is suffering economic problems; I believe culturally the world had slowly adopted a splurge mentality.
"I have the money, so why not."
I went to dinner last night at Subway; I ate a Chicken Sub with some cheese, lettuce, and other condiments. Every day of the week Subway has a special on one type of sub, the price is 69 Baht or just over two dollars.
The regular price is about 140 Baht or double the cost.
Would you eat the 69 Baht or the 140 Baht, which is the difference between a person that can stay on a budget and person who needs to work by the sweat of their brow.
My friend Walt would say,
"If you seen a penny on the ground, would you stop to pick it up?"
The big holes are easy to patch, the little ones sinks the ship.

Travel Mooch
IgoUgo Defines the Difference between a Welcome Guest and a
"Travel Mooch;" Offers Tips for Politely Sponging off Family and
Friends on Your Next Vacation
NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
With travel costs a big concern this summer, many travelers will
opt to skip the hotel as a sure-fire way to save money when visiting
family or friends. But some will take cost savings to the extreme and
let who they know dictate where they go - so they can vacation for
In a poll released this week by IgoUgo.com, one of the most
popular travel communities in the world, 57 percent of respondents
said they would consider staying with family or friends on vacation,
and 55 percent said in the past, they have vacationed somewhere solely
because they had family or friends who could provide free
Bangkok, Thailand
Wednesday, October 29, 2008
Blog of Andy HoboTraveler.com --- --- Travel Bag Design Survey --- Professional Traveler Bag
But the poll also revealed that not all vacationing houseguests
are the same. While the majority of houseguests (75 percent) say they
enjoy spending time with their hosts, 25 percent appear to be
motivated primarily by convenience and savings - they don't include
the enjoyment of their hosts' company in a list of top reasons for
staying with them at all.
The editors of IgoUgo have coined the term "travel mooch" to
describe those 25 percent of dreaded houseguests who tend to push the
limits of couch-surfing etiquette. If you've ever hosted vacationing
friends, you've probably known one; if you've ever stayed with friends
or family on vacation, you may be one.
"The summer travel season is here, and many of us will be staying
with family or friends at some point in the coming months," said
Cameron Siewert, content and community manager at IgoUgo.com. "The
trick is to be a welcomed guest and not an inconsiderate mooch - after
all, the ultimate goal is to get invited back!"
Other characteristics of a true travel mooch:
-- 65 percent are first and foremost motivated by saving money.
-- They're unable to afford the trip otherwise: 39 percent cited
this as a motivation.
-- They stick around awhile: 25 percent stay for more than a
-- They're not traveling alone: 83 percent bring at least one
-- Many stay with friends they're meeting for the first time: 23
percent of poll respondents said they have or would.
-- Some stay with friends they meet on the Internet: 15 percent
of poll respondents said they have or would.
The good news about travel mooches, according to the poll, is that
they expect fewer basic hospitalities like linens, groceries and
airport transportation; the bad news is that they're also less likely
to offer such hospitalities to their own guests. And significantly
fewer mooches enjoy having vacationing guests in their own homes; 8
percent don't even allow guests to stay.
Besides saving money, what motivates a travel mooch to stay in
touch with friends in great destinations? According to the poll, they
do value the friendships they cultivate in the process, but they're
significantly more likely than guests to have practical - or even
ulterior - motives. Access to local knowledge (43 percent) and having
a place to stay (32 percent) are the main reasons given.
"There's something to be said for staying with a local on your
vacation - not only will you save money, but you'll likely get the
inside scoop on the coolest things to do and see," said Siewert. "But
your host should feel that you value spending time with them - not
that you're simply taking advantage of a free place to crash."
Afraid you've crossed the line into mooching territory? IgoUgo
editors will help you keep your travel tactics aboveboard with their
Ten Commandments of Couch Crashing:
1. Thou shalt give thy host plenty of advance notice. Don't be the
person who calls asking for a place to crash the next day--or even the
next week. At least a month in advance is a good rule of thumb.
2. Thou shalt not bring an assortment of friends and pets. If
you're single and traveling with a companion, ask your host for
permission to bring him or her along. And if you've got multiple
people or animals in tow, step back and put yourself in your hosts'
shoes before you even ask.
3. Thou shalt not take hospitalities for granted. Be considerate
and double-check with your host about what you should bring. Don't
just assume that towels, sheets, pillows and toiletries will be
4. Thou shalt put the convenience of thy host above all else. You
adhere to check-in and check-out times when you stay in hotels. Keep
that frame of mind when staying with friends and family: be sure
you're arriving and departing at times that are convenient for them.
And unless they offer a ride, make your own arrangements for
transportation to and from their home.
5. Thou shalt exercise common decency. Don't bring new friends
back to your hosts' home. If your hosts drive you places, pay for a
tank of gas. Wash your dishes. Take out the trash. Pay for your own
groceries... you get the picture.

Retirement Nest Egg
Traveling is great, life is good, but there is also times when people must deal with reality. I am more retired than people who say they are retired, I have to admit, and I make hanging around and doing nothing a form of Art.
However, I know my Mother is annoyed when I do not put up funky travel photos.
Why is there less, why are my blog post boring?
I am working on my Nest Egg Retirement project, (HoboHideOut.com) but more important, I need a big pile of cash to go to Africa again and to the Amazon River to hunt for un-contacted tribes.

I will soon return to the same time zone as the USA, I will go to Guatemala and Peru. I need to work on my Retirement Nest Egg and make some Skype.com telephone calls without people returning calls at 4:00 am in the morning and 2:00 pm U.S. time.
In reality all this work is to make my blog post more interesting, I want to increase my monthly income to a point that I do not cringe when I think of expensive places like Europe or radical off he electrical grid places like some parts of Africa and the Amazon River.
I know, the farther I go off the grid, the more expensive it becomes to get there.
I also know the more the country is developed and boring, the more I must pay to be happy.
Middle ground is countries like Thailand, Philippines, Guatemala, Peru etc, and in these life is easy.

Photography as a Predatory Sport
I have a rather simple Fuji Finepix Camera, I have been thinking for years about getting one of them huge Canon or Nikon Cameras.
I am having second thoughts…
Maybe this is like using a Machine Gun to Hunt Rabbits.
Bangkok, Thailand
Wednesday, October 29, 2008
Blog of Andy HoboTraveler.com --- --- Travel Bag Design Survey --- Professional Traveler Bag
I am aware that sometime a person needs a Machine Gun powerful camera, for instance when I was in Puerto Escondido watching the surfers, I realized photo only worked well with a tripod and large zoom lens.
However, 99 percent of photo can be taken well if I have good hunting skills and I know my weapon.
The Fuji Camera I am using now has a random trigger problem. According to the charge of the battery and how long I allow it to power up and realize the photo the photos vary in quality. I am not happy about this, I know my gun is faulty; however there is sport in knowing this. I know I must take into consideration more variables than when I had my prior Sony 10X zoom Camera.
There is fun in getting the shot because my camera is faulty, I must truly know my weapon better.
I often put up poor quality photo on this Blog, I guess I admit, there are times where I just wing my game, and I do not shoot them between the eyes.
What stops me about the pro version of cameras is the size, it really is hard to sneak up and take a photo of the human animal when you pull out a Machine Gun.
Manners, a perosn really needs to have no manners to take great people photos or a very large zoom lens, ergo one excellent reason for a big camera.

Daypack Versus Traveler Pack Priorities
I walked one-half kilometer back to my Hotel yesterday in a heavy downpour of rain in Thailand. The daypack in the photos below got wet, even though I was using an umbrella.
Bangkok, Thailand
Tuesday, October 28, 2008
Blog of Andy HoboTraveler.com --- --- Travel Bag Design Survey --- Professional Traveler Bag
I use this daypack to carry my camera, batteries, computer, passport and other documents and other daily needs; this is my high priority bag when I am in transit between cities and Hotels.
I woke up today, put on a wet bag and took off for my daily walk, it was a little uncomfortable, and the daypack was still a little damp. It did not dry off well in the room overnight.
Walking back, I thought to myself,
"My priorities are a little skewed."
I carry this daypack about two hours per day, it allows me to have my camera with me and many small items, I can purchase food at the without needing to kill a few turtle by using plastic bags.
-- I move about once every 10 days with my big Traveler Bag
-- Traveler Bag used about 6 hours per month.
-- Daypack used about 60 hours per month.
I use my daypack 54 hours more per month.
I have had many types of daypacks, I have to admit I enjoy the comfortable one I presently own. I purchased it as a computer bag at Panthip, however I use as a daypack, it is perfect. In many way I feel I should recommend people to take great care in buying their daypack than their traveler packs.
I can easily travel for one week with this small daypack, when I leave my major luggage in storage and do the spider method of travel.

Travel Lifestyle the Point of No Return
Mira a friend of mine I met in Guatemala is here in Bangkok, she is from the USA and 21 years old.
When we talk, I often find myself talking like a father, more than a friend.

I was trying to explain to her yesterday and the Anthropology groups that have now moved from Taipei, Taiwan to Bangkok, Thailand.
"There is a point of no return with some of this craziness; there is a point where you can never change back. What you do today can cause you problems for the rest of your life."
I am 53 now, not a kid, not an infant, I am an adult, I went over the edge when I was younger, became an alcoholic, had not respect for my elders.
HUGE mistake and one I will pay for, for the rest of my life.
There is an illusionary world of the common traveler; they often lose touch with what a normal person in their country is doing. As they move farther away from normal, they finally cross the line where they no longer can fit into normal society.
My estimate if that about 95 percent of the travelers who stay out more than two years have extreme social interaction problems upon trying to return to normal jobs.

Retirement Too much Extra Time
"Retiring is easy. Then comes the hard part -- staying that way. "
- BILL WARD, Star Tribune
I have a problem, I started to read a Tom Clancy book and three weeks later, I am still reading the same book. I finally gave up on the book and purchased a used Robert Ludlum book.
What a great problem.

The days can be long; being a perpetual traveler is the same as being retired. There is too much extra time. I read books to occupy my extra time, learn about other places and just drift away. I truly could not imagine traveling without books, however recently I realized one bad book could make time come to a stop. I normally love Tom Clancy book, however I believe now that he works with other writers to write the books they have lost some edge.
I am amusing myself today, trying to learn from Retired people, what they do with their extra time. I have been off into google search world, pulling on that never ending thread.
Funny, most of the pages explain how to get part time jobs; it is difficult to find pages on how to stay retired. Truly the page were of little value, the majority of writers just revert into some type of daily todo list make the person have a "New Job,"
"Meet the new boss, same as the old boss."

Parks Youth Ranch Cowboy Up
The Parks Youth Ranch held another successful Cowboy Up event on Oct. 3 at the George Ranch Historical Park Arena. More than 600 guests enjoyed the evening of food, dancing, fun and giving back to the community. The event raised $175,000 which will provide emergency housing for homeless youth in Fort Bend County. The Fred and Mabel R Parks Foundation was not only the Presenting Sponsor but received the 2016 Carl Favre True Believer Award for their dedication and support over the years. The evening was emceed by Michele Fisher, and Commissioner James Patterson once again did a fantastic job as auctioneer.

Sienna Plantation Oktoberfest
Hundreds of people cheered "Prost!" while raising thousands for the Fort Bend Education Foundation during Sienna Plantation's Oktoberfest celebration. The event was a fete of German food, music and games. Performing were two bands — Mike and the Middletones and Jerry and The Melody Five — who invited guests to dance their best polkas. A Biergarten served beer and cider, and food trucks Sauerkraut, Cousins Maine Lobster, To Go Kitchen, Foodgasm and Anna's Greek offered a variety of cuisines. Event-goers were also able to try their hand at German-themed lawn games.
Proceeds from Oktoberfest benefited the Fort Bend Education Foundation, a nonprofit organization that provides grants to teachers and schools within Fort Bend Independent School District. The foundation has awarded nearly $32 million since its inception in 1992.

Hi guys!
We're already more than half way though the #31DC2013, I had thought that it was going to drag on, but it's actually speeding right along! Today's theme is to do a galaxy mani, I've only done a few in the past and I've mostly used darker colors, but recently The Nailasaurus has done some gorgeous galaxy manis is pastels so that inspired me to try using a couple lighter polishes in my nails today.
I started with a dark blue base as usual and then sponged yellow, light pink, a couple blues, and two different glitter polishes on the nails. I also added a light coat of the glow in the dark polish I used in my He Picks my Polish mani since I still had it out, and it gave it a lovely milky finish.
Polishes I used:
Wet n wild wild shine clear nail protector,
N.Y.C Lexington yellow,
Wet n wild wild shine tickled pink,
Claire's glow in the dark unnamed,
Wet n wild fastdry party of five glitters,
Wet n wild megalast I need a refresh-mint,
Wet n wild fastdry teal of fortune,
EN-VY funny bunny,
Sally Hansen X-treme wear mint sorbet,
Sally Girl brainy,
and Color Club first looks.
Thanks for reading!

Over the last year and a half I have dated over 100 different guys. I'm not into dating though. In fact, I hate it. I didn't start off looking to date. Like a lot of women I was looking for someone to begin a serious relationship with. However, that really never got off the ground and instead I found myself in serial dater territory. Through my experience in the last year I have learned that the modern US dating scene is truly the "land of free milk and cows," and because of that sexually conservative women like me are having a next to impossible time finding anybody willing to wait.
I'm no virgin, but I remain abstinent in between long term relationships. And it has been a long time since I've had one. I haven't given in and slept with anyone for several reasons. One of those reasons being that I do not want to be objectified and used for sex. Of course even in a long term partnership you can be used and disposed of, which is something I talk about extensively in my book I Know Why They Call a Shell a Shell.
No one really believes me when I say that I am not sexually active. Even my gynecologist thinks I'm bluffing. A few visits ago I was having issues with acne. I asked him for something to clear it up. Rather than prescribe me a dangerous antibiotic he gave me birth control. "I don't really need this." I told him.
"Well I don't want to prescribe you the antibiotic in case you get pregnant. Its very dangerous to an unborn child."
"Wow. You're optimistic," I responded. As I had already told him I didn't have any sexual partners.
"Well you know what they say, 'a bird in the hand…could lead to an erection.'" LOL.
It's not that I can't find sex partners- I know more than enough guys who are ready and willing. It's that I don't want to just sleep with someone who is essentially a stranger. I have found through dating that the majority of men expect sex within the first three dates. Most are willing to be patient and wait til the second to reveal those intentions. I have seen men throw temper tantrums as early as the second date when they realized they would not be getting their way. The age range of men I date span from guys in their mid- late twenties all the way to men in their early forties.
Recently, I made it past the four date threshold with someone I dated for two weeks. Once that fourth date came around and I still hadn't slept with him he became furious. He seemed to think I was nuts for expecting any man to wait that long for sex. He showed his true colors and we parted ways. I think it's absurd for anyone to expect sex within two weeks of knowing a person. To me this says a lot about what other women are doing. These guys have had to been conditioned to believe this is the norm somehow and it's because many other women have no qualms about putting out and quickly. Just do a Google search on "How soon should I sleep with him?" and you will see the average recommendation falls somewhere between dates 3 – 6.
Call me old fashioned, but I can't stand a man trying to rush me into sex. In fact, I cannot stand a person trying to rush me into anything. It is a turn off, but more importantly disrespectful when a man acts like a pushy salesperson when trying to get you into bed. I have no problems walking away from pushy sales people and I have no problem walking away from men who act like them either. Other times men have tried to coerce me. It may be in person or it may be on the phone or in text after the date that they have tried to prep me for what was next on their agenda: sex. It seems most of them have no interest in my agenda. Usually what I say goes in one ear and out the other and the coercion continues.
Though few people realize it sex through coercion is a form of rape. I think there are a lot of things that need to be talked about before sex happens. Are you sleeping with anyone else? Are we going to be exclusive? Have you ever had any STDs? Do you have any STDs? It's no surprise that most of these men attempt to rush you into sex before you've had the chance to ask any of these questions.
There are many reasons why I am abstinent. I prefer to get to know a person, develop a relationship and build trust before I jump into bed with them. What if something goes wrong? What if the guy gets me pregnant or unknowingly give me an STD? I wait to have sex because it is important to me that there is some security within my relationship with this person. Then if something goes wrong I'm not going to be left to fend for myself.
Most people seem to forget that a person's most precious asset is their body and health. And because of that I look out for me first and not some guy who tries to guilt me with blue balls just so he can hit it and quit it. I respect myself and believe it says a lot about a person's character when they have trouble taking 'no' for an answer.
This is a very personal post and I was a little reluctant to write about it, but inevitably did because I have a feeling I am not the only person out there experiencing this issue. If you find yourself being passed over in the dating world because you are looking for more than sex, for something meaningful (gasp!) please write about it in the comments section. Obviously this applies to both men and women.
I always thought that the process of getting to know a person and building a relationship before jumping in bed was pretty normal. Apparently I am wrong. Casual sex is what seems to be acceptable in this culture; a culture that seems to think this concept of waiting more than a few dates to have sex is not only abnormal, but antiquated.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin was sentenced Wednesday to 10 years in prison for bribery, money laundering and other corruption that spanned his two terms as mayor — including the chaotic years after Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005.
U.S. District Judge Helen Berrigan handed down the sentence Wednesday morning.
Nagin was convicted Feb. 12 of accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars from businessmen who wanted work from the city or Nagin's support for various projects. The bribes came in the form of money, free vacations and truckloads of free granite for his family business.
The 58-year-old Democrat had defiantly denied any wrongdoing after his 2013 indictment and during his February trial.
Nagin was a political newcomer when he won election as New Orleans' mayor, succeeding Marc Morial in 2002. He cast himself as a reformer and announced crackdowns on corruption in the city's automobile-inspection and taxi-permit programs. But federal prosecutors say his own corrupt acts began during his first term, continued through the Katrina catastrophe and flourished in his second term.
Until his indictment in 2013, he was perhaps best known for a widely heard radio interview in which he angrily, and sometimes profanely, asked for stepped-up federal response in the days after levee breaches flooded most of the city during Katrina.
He also drew notoriety for impolitic remarks, such as the racially charged "New Orleans will be chocolate again" and his comment that a growing violent crime problem "keeps the New Orleans brand out there."
Elected in 2002 with strong support from the business community and white voters, Nagin won re-election in 2006 with a campaign that sometimes played on fears among black voters that they were being left out of the city's spotty recovery. He was limited by law to two consecutive terms but a third term would have been unlikely, giving plunging approval ratings and the stricken city's continued recovery struggles. He was succeeded in 2010 by Mitch Landrieu.
Most government pre-sentence reports and recommendations were not made public but a filing by Jenkins ahead of the sentencing hearing indicated prosecutors were pushing for a sentence of 20 years or more under federal sentencing guidelines.
Defense attorney Robert Jenkins said that would amount to a virtual life sentence for the former mayor. Jenkins said Nagin's family needs him, there is no danger of Nagin committing more crimes and that the crimes for which Nagin was convicted constituted an aberration from an otherwise model life.
Prosecutors said the schemes that led to Nagin's conviction included two family members: His two grown sons were never charged with a crime but they were part of the family business that received free granite from a contractor. They also said that what Jenkins calls an "aberration" was behavior that spanned six years and involved multiple contractors.

Politicians of color must understand that Frank Beverly Issac have domestic programs that are used on politicians of color. They better wake up and stop talking business on these devices!
Nagin is a hero in our community. He tried his best to improve conditions for us. Mr. Nagin underestimated the power that the white man had in LA.
Lets not forget that whites are not even human. They are desendance of Neanderthals who stoled our genics through rape and torture. Then they stoled our land and our history through murder. Take a look at the world. YOu will notice how white people get darker as you get closer to Africa. This is because as they started to spread their deisiese and influence through the world they would rape the men and women of the lands they conquered.
We need to stop letting the white man control us. Nagin was doing what was right for us and the white man wasn't going to let that happen. The white man isn't happy unless they can keep us under their boot. They send their white women into our community to seduce our men inorder to weaken our bloodline. our link to God.
We are, or should be, smart enough to put together the historical truth exemplified throughout our time in America: White men are free to do the hell ever they want to as politicians, but if one of us tries the same or similar thing we are promptly taken out to the whipping bar, sent to prison, or killed, period.
How do YOU spell CONFLICT OF INTEREST for Politically "elected officials"? P..A..Cs
Ain't no fun when the rabbit got the gun. The people of New Orleans were victims and now it's his turn(Nagin's) to pay the piper.
Well, Nagin finally got what he deserved too bad his deeds was at the expensive of the poor and ignorant folks of nawlins, who voted this jackass in twice…Black folks need to realize how much we exploit, used and degrade each other is the real problem.
Seriously, get back in line and repeat after me, "No snitchin' / Fock the po-po"
Thank you kindly.
Whenever God raise a person up I think it's to test them.. Can you handle success..fame & fortune? Will you turnout to be a tyrant..a thief or a good leader. Everybody can't be Moses even he got in trouble..mmmmm
You don't have to be Moses to have a moral compass.
You can't do that Mr…. I guess he though he was white enough to do the crime..
Playa playa, got played.
When will these black politicians learn u can,t do what white politicians,been doing for yrs,if ur black ass get caught, they will lock u up for a long time. Ray Nagin had no political experience,before he became mayor,he was president of a cable company.He was selected by the white community.
It's a dam shame that your own has flip the script to get money, and in the mean time they are ripping us off. That's why I don't vote!!!!! you wonder why some time. don't trust any man or women!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! when it comes to "OUR" GOVERMENT!!!!!
Everyone, put your trust where it truly should belong. Put your trust in Almighty God only, not in mortal man who is glutted with agitation.
Mr. Nagin, is an arrogant son of a gun, and a big time hypocrite. I never did like to way he handled the Katrina disaster, he made himself look like a fool, by calling people names, and accusing folks of criminal acts, if that not the pot calling the kettle black. Mr. Nagin, for the most part never took in any responsibility for the Katrina mess, always pointing the finger at others. It's so sad to see another politician go to prison for corruption, but, what goes around, comes around.
Mr. Obama will parden nagen on his last day in office.

It Pays to Live in Ogden Spotlight: Green the World
If you've spent any time at all on Historic 25th Street, you will have seen the quaint little shop, smack dab in the middle of this historic shopping district, selling everything green from a grow your own lavender plant, to eco-friendly kids' toys, to locally made art…this place has got it all!
We took a few minutes to hang out with owner, Beth Bell, to ask her about Green the World and how it all got started.
Firstly, tell us about yourself. Where are you from?
I was born and raised in Utah, grew up in Plain City.
How did Green the World get its start?
You might think this is silly. I was working two jobs as a bookkeeper for local businesses; I loved my work and did really pretty well at it. One night, in the middle of the night, I woke up from a dream…with the name of my store, what we would sell, everything in my head, with an overwhelmingly strong feeling that I needed to open this store. That was in February, five years ago… by July my store was opened and I haven't looked back!
It was a real leap of faith…I had never, ever worked in retail before. And it was so obviously the thing I was supposed to do, this has been the best decision of my life.
What is your goal with Green the World?
I hope to help people learn to be more conscious of what they buy and how easy it is to live greener lives. I want to bring awareness that being "green" doesn't have to be as costly or as hard as people think, even just a little bit everyday can make a huge impact.
What makes your store different?
Everything I sell in this store is good for the environment. It is either recycled goods or eco-friendly or locally made. No matter what you buy in my store, it will help in some way. We have bags that were made by women in villages in Africa and 100% of the $20 you spend on them goes back to their village. We have products made by your neighbors, friends and when you buy their goods it helps them!
Your shop does consignment?
My store is about 30% local consignment, because I truly believe in supporting local artists. It helps to fill my store with interesting, unique things that are eco-friendly. I have certain requirements that must be met to have products included, and right now we have a waiting list for local designers and artists. But, I'm always willing to talk to new people so if anyone is interested in selling their goods in my store, stop on by!
What motivates you every day?
To help the environment, my community; to teach love and awareness of the world around us to the people who come into my shop.
What changes have you seen in Ogden? What changes would you like to see?
I have seen many changes in just the 2 years since I moved my store from Riverdale to Ogden. Huge improvements and a sense of togetherness in individuals and business owners, everyone is so supportive of each other. This is the first time in 2 1/2 years that every shop is filled on the 100 block of 25th Street, it is so exciting. I also see changes everywhere in Ogden, to new buildings, new improvements, even our Ogden Trails are being upgraded and maintained more than in the past. People are taking a sense of responsibility in Ogden. I see the town just getting better and better and it becoming the place to be.
Why do you think It Pays to Live in Ogden?
Ogden is all I know, I grew up here. This place has always been perfect for me. You are 20 minutes from the mountains, full of skiing and hiking and adventure; mere hours from the desert and so many other places to explore. The people are so diverse, so kind. There is a strong sense of community; I cannot imagine not living here. It is not only visually stunning, but so inviting; there is something here for everyone.
Anything else you'd like to add?
I hope people understand that living green isn't just about what store you shop at, it is a way of life. This store is so much more to me than just a store. If I can help "green the world" a little more at the end of the day, help just one person be a little bit more eco-friendly, it's all worth it.

Distribution of Agricultural and Fishery Inputs for Typhoon "Lawin" Affected Farmers and Fisherfolks
The Laoag City Government, through the stewardship of the Hon. City Mayor Chevyle V. Fariñas and the City Council headed by the Hon. Vice Mayor Michael V. Fariñas, allocated the amount of Eight Hundred Thousand Pesos (Php 800,000.00) from the Calamity Fund of the city. This is intended to defray expenses for the purchase of agricultural and fishery inputs as rehabilitation measure to farmers and fishermen affected by Typhoon Lawin last October 19-20, 2016. The measure is to mitigate the adverse effects of the typhoon on top what some farmers received as indemnity claim from PCIC.
Agricultural Inputs Distributed
Organic Fertilizers – 151
Inorganic Fertilizers (14-14-14) – 377
Inorganic Fertilizers (46-0-0) – 350
Total Inputs Distributed to Farmer Recipients from the 49 farming barangays 878
Fishery Inputs Distributed
Tilapia Fingerlings – 200 kgs

A volcano erupted in southern Japan on Wednesday, blowing ash about 3,000 feet into the air, the Weather Agency said. There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
Mount Sakurajima erupted at 5:30 p.m. and registered as moderate on the agency's scale for both the sound and strength of the tremors it caused, the agency said.
That's a lot of ash. Seems to be a big year for volcanic activity so far. Wonder how much this is affecting global cooling?

Plastics Essay, Research Paper
INTRODUCTION In today s world, life without plastics is incomprehensible. Whether you are aware of it or not, plastics have become a familiar part of our lives, where these organic polymeric materials play a vital role in the modern society. Plastics versatility allows it to be used in everything from car parts to doll parts, and from soft drink bottles to the fridges that they are stored in. Such variations in its applications contribute to our health, safety and peace of mind. Though the growth of such synthetic plastics has virtually reshaped our environment since World War 2, there is a challenge to retain the benefits that the use of plastics can offer, while at the same time ensuring that they do not cause environmental harm. Despite the popularity and suitability of plastics, it has constantly been subjected to trenchant criticisms. Hence the role and the chemistry of plastics, and its impact on the society and the environment becomes an apparent issue. POLYMERS: THE BASICS: As defined by the Webster s Dictionary, plastic is any of various complex organic compounds produced by polymerisation, capable of being moulded, extruded, cast into various shapes and films, or drawn into filaments used as textile fibers. Plastics have a very unique chemical structure, as they are composed of long-chain molecules, which contain small groups of recurring atoms linked together. Chemically speaking, such giant molecule chains are called polymers, where these long polymer molecules become entangled with each other. The word, polymer, refers to something made of many units. Each link of this long chain is a basic unit or a monomer, encompassed with organic materials, such as the elements; carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, chlorine and sulphur. In order to form the polymer chain, many monomers are hooked or polymerised together. This process of polymerisation is a chemical reaction usually in the presence of a catalyst, which combines single molecules into long-chain molecules. Though a considerable amount of force is required to disentangle the polymer chains, but when subjected to heat these chains move apart to permit one to slide over the other yet still retain their cohesiveness. Since polymers are very large and very complex molecules, the chemistry of their formation remains very complex. THE SYNTHESIS OF POLYMERS: The basic units of the long chain polymers are called monomers, which join, by two polymerisation processes for producing resins known as addition and condensation reactions. ADDITION POLYMERISATION- The monomers contain at least one double bond between a pair of carbon atoms. During this process, unsaturated or cyclic molecules add together without elimination of a portion of the monomer molecule. This form of polymerisation produces only specific polymer chain lengths, and a repeating unit derived from simple organic molecules (monomers) is apparently common throughout the chain. The average molecular weights for the addition polymers are generally by comparison larger than those of condensation polymers. For example, polymers involving the addition reactions include: Polyethylene (Polythene)- Ethylene, commonly produced by the cracking of ethane gas, forms the basis for the largest single class of plastics, the polyethylenes. Ethylene monomer has the chemical composition; CH2=CH2 (fig.1) As for the repeating unit of polyethylene, it has the chemical structure; (diag) This simple structure can be produced in linear or branched forms such as those illustrated in Figures 1 and 2. Branched versions are known as low-density polyethylene (LDPE) or linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE); the linear versions are known as high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). The overall chemical reaction: catalystnCH2 = CH2 CH2 CH2 CH2 CH2 CONDENSATION POLYMERISATION- The bonds between monomer molecules are formed with the elimination of a small molecule, such as water. This is due to one of the monomers losing a hydrogen atom, and another losing a hydroxyl group. Each monomer usually has two functional groups of condensation polymers, the polyesters, and the polyamides. The condensation reaction: (diag.) Now consider some examples of polyesters; Polyethylene terephthalate (PET)- PET is produced by the step-growth polymerisation of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid. The presence of the large benzene rings in the repeating units, gives the polymer notable stiffness and strength, especially when the polymer chains are aligned with one another in an orderly arrangement by stretching. In this semicrystalline form, PET is made into a high-strength textile fibre, where its stiffness of makes them highly resistant to deformation, so that they have excellent resistance to wrinkling in fabrics.
Polycarbonate (PC)- PC is a special type of polyester used as an engineering plastic. It has exceptional stiffness, mainly by virtue of having more aromatic rings incorporated into the polyester chain: Polycarbonate is highly transparent, has an impact strength considerably higher than most plastics, and can be injection-moulded, blow-moulded, and extruded. These properties lead to its fabrication into large carboys for water, shatterproof windows, safety shields, and safety helmets. Also it is the favoured plastic for injection moulding into compact discs. THE CHARACTERISTICS OF POLYMERS: The characteristics of polymers enable plastics to be more versatile and economical then other possible sources of materials, where its role in the modern society is of major importance. The following distinct characteristics of polymers highlight the usefulness of plastics: 1 Polymers can be very resistant to chemicals. Since all cleaning fluids with warning labels describe what happens when the chemical comes in contact with skin or eyes are packaged in plastic, this emphasises the chemical resistance of these materials.2 Polymers can be thermal and electrical insulators. All electrical appliances and outlets are covered with polymeric materials. Pot and panhandles found in the kitchen and the foam core of refrigerators highlight thee concept of thermal resistance.3 In general, polymers are very light in weight with varying degrees of strength. Consider the range of applications, from toys to the frame structure of space stations, or from nylon fibre in hose or Kelvar, which is used in bulletproof vests.4 Polymers can be processed in various ways to produce thin fibres or very intricate parts. Plastics can be moulded into bottles or the bodies of a car, or also be mixed with solvents to become paint. Polymers have limitless range of characteristics and colours, where their properties can be easily modified through the means of adding a wide range of additives to broaden their applications. THERMOPLASTICS AND THERMOSETTING: Plastics are primarily defined on the basis of their chemical composition and their engineering behaviour. The fundamental distinctions between such polymers can be categorised into two specific groups: thermoplastics, and thermosets. THERMOPLASTICS- The term, thermoplastics means that once the polymer is formed, it can be heated and reformed over and over again. The molecules are held together by weak secondary bonding forces that causes the plastic to soften when exposed to light and return back to its original shape, when cooled back down to room temperature. The structure associated with thermoplastics is that of individual molecules that are separate from one another and flow past one another. The molecules may have low or extremely high molecular weight, and they may be branched or linear in structure, but the essential feature is that of separability and consequent mobility. It should also be noted that these substances also have little cross-linking. Since extrusion, moulding or pressing when exposed to heat can shape thermoplastics; it therefore offers versatility and a large range of applications. Due to this property of plastics allows for easy processing and facilitates recycling; the majority of polymers are therefore thermoplastics. Examples; Polyethylene- packaging, electrical insulation, milk and water bottles, packaging film, house wrap, agricultural film Polypropylene- carpet fibres, car bumpers, microwave containers Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)- floor and wall coverings, siding, credit cards, car instrument panels THERMOSETTING- A thermoset is a polymer that solidifies irreversibly when heated. Similar to the relationship between a raw and a cooked egg, once heated, a thermoset polymer can t be softened again; the egg can t revert back to its original form. During the initial processing, thermosetting resins undergo a chemical reaction that results in an insoluble network. Essentially, the entire heated, finished article becomes one large molecule. For example, the polymer used in making a fibre-reinforced laminate for a golf club undergoes a cross-linking reaction when it is moulded at a high temperature. Any amount of heat does not soften the material to the point where it can be reworked and indeed may serve only to break it down. Hence, thermosetting substances must have sufficient cross-linking of their chains to prevent molecular motion on heating. Thermosets are therefore valued for their durability and strength and are primarily used in vehicles and construction. Examples; Polyurethanes- mattresses, insulation, toys, Unsaturated Polyesters- varnishes, furniture, boat hulls Epoxies- glues, coating for electrical circuits, helicopter blades THE INHERENT EFFECTS OF PLASTICS: Since the synthetic revolution, where plastics were first created artificially in laboratories during the 1860 s, it is apparent that the modern society is highly dependent on these synthetic materials which is capable of being formed into useful items by heating, milling, moulding or other similar processes. As statistical information has inferred, the global production of plastics now stands at a staggering 110 million tonnes, where this suggests that plastics have a enormous impact on both the society and the environment.

Peta Murgatroyd Baby Born, Welcomes Boy With Maksim Chmerkovskiy
Peta Murgatroyd and Maskim Chmerkovskiy are officially parents! The dancer gave birth to a baby boy named Shai Aleksander on Wednesday.
Monday, January 2, was actually Murgatroyd's due date, and in the morning, Chmerkovskiy posted an Instagram video of their car ride to the hospital. That was followed later by a photo of the mom-to-be putting on mascara as she lay in a hospital bed. "But first…a little make up," the dad-to-be wrote as the amusing snapshot's caption.
But the day passed with no announcement. And then on Tuesday afternoon, Chmerkovskiy's brother Val posted a message to fans on Instagram, revealing he would not be at that night's "Dancing with the Stars" tour stop because he was "about to be an uncle." He even revealed Murgatroyd was due to deliver at any moment, but it apparently took until Wednesday morning for the little guy to make his highly-anticipated arrival.
It was revealed in May that the couple was expecting, after "Dancing with the Stars" co-host Erin Andrews leaked the news. Chmerkovskiy eventually confirmed that he and Murgatroyd did indeed have a bundle of joy on the way by posting a picture of their first sonogram photo on Instagram. Murgatroyd also shared a sweet image of her fiancé planting a kiss on her growing baby bump.
Not long after the couple announced they were expecting their first child, Gossip Cop busted the repeatedly discredited RadarOnline for falsely alleging the couple was in a "love triangle" with Chmerkovskiy's "Dancing With The Stars" partner, Amber Rose. Of course, that ridiculous tale wasn't true, and the trio mocked it on social media. Rose, who is now dating Chmerkovskiy's brother Val, even attended Murgatroyd's baby shower in December.
Murgatroyd and Chmerkovskiy, who first met in 2009 when they were both cast in the Broadway production of Burn The Floor, dated on and off throughout 2012 and 2013, and permanently rekindled their romance in 2015. That year, Chmerkovskiy famously proposed to Murgatroyd during a performance of their stage show "Sway."
Gossip Cop would now like to congratulate the couple on officially starting their family. We wish the new parents many years of health, happiness and love with Shai Aleksander!
