SAY WHAT? (What is the passage saying?)
- Matthew (the author of this book) was one of Jesus' twelve disciples. He wrote this account of Jesus' life and teachings to a Jewish audience. Matthew writes of Jesus as King, and focuses often on the "Kingdom of Heaven" - the people who choose to live under the reign of King Jesus.
- This account of Jesus' life begins in typical Jewish fashion with a genealogy. Genealogies were extremely important to the Jewish people who traced their lineages back to which tribe (son of Jacob) they belonged. And this also showed two important aspects of Jesus:
- He descended from Abraham (verse 2), which made him Jewish, and...
- He descended from David (verse 6) which made him legally eligible to be king. Kings of Israel had to descend from Judah and a promise was specially given to king David which pertained to Jesus (see 2 Samuel 7 and 1 Chronicles 17).
- This genealogy is different from typical Jewish ones because it includes women. Also interesting is that the lives of these women were marked by scandal. For further reading on their stories see: Genesis 38, Joshua 2, Ruth and 2 Samuel 11-12.
- In this chapter Jesus is given two names, both with important meanings:
- Jesus: The Greek form of Joshua, which means "The LORD saves." The word LORD in all caps refers to the name that God gave himself in Exodus 3:13-14.
- Immanuel, which means "God with us." God sent Himself in the form of His Son to live among us.
- Jesus was not Joseph's son. He was born from Mary, who was a virgin. This is what god promised hundreds of years earlier in Isaiah 7:14 (which Matthew notes in verses 22 and 23).
SO WHAT? (What are the underlying principles?)
- Jesus was not an ordinary person. He was the eternal Son of God come down, in the flesh, to save us, as God had promised throughout the Old Testament. This makes Jesus worthy of our worship.
- Jesus' family history was littered with scandal. But these negative situations in his family's situation did not define him. He was not a victim of the past.
NOW WHAT? (How will you personally apply this passage?)
- How well do you know Jesus? Do you worship Him? If the answer to either is "not so much" reading the book of Matthew should help a lot! Commit to reading every day (or at least weekday) for the next month.
- Do you ever feel like a victim, or "less than," or broken or stained because of your parents or someone else from your family history. Jesus, the King and Savior of the world, had a family history full of scandal, but it did not mark him. In Jesus, you can totally overcome whatever is in your past or your family's past. You are an overcomer.

Today, Oct. 30th, marks the one-year anniversary of this blog. I was looking back at my 124 posts and found some really good reading... at least, from one perspective. Lots of dumb crooks, stupid news, interesting tidbits, pithy insights, personal comments and mind-blowing space and universe stuff. It really is nuts out there.
Blogging is rich for the soul... I owe me a drink.

Apparel accessories registered minimal current value growth in 2018, as US consumers' continually changing spending habits and style preferences had a diverging effect on the various categories. A general preference for spending on experiences over goods reduced the spending of many consumers, who viewed owning multiples of accessories such as scarves as excessive, whilst continuing casualisation reduced the demand for belts and ties.
Increasingly casual dress codes within US workplaces and social spaces alike continued to have an adverse effect on both belts and ties in 2018, resulting in declines for both categories. As more and more workplaces move towards business casual or entirely casual dress, fewer men are required to wear ties to the office, and thus require them only for formal events and parties, resulting in a decision for quality over quantity when it comes to purchasing.
US consumers' renewed affinity for logoed and branded products, brought about by the cultural dominance of streetwear and luxury brands, lent itself to apparel accessories by boosting demand for hats/caps in 2018, thanks for the prominent space these products provide for logos. As a result, the most popular style, baseball caps, enjoyed strong demand due to the dominant health and wellness trend and increasing casualisation of dress codes, in addition to their prominent space for logos.
The Gap Inc maintained its lead in apparel accessories in 2018, as it was able to fulfil the needs of diverse customers through its portfolio of brands. The company's strongest brand remained Old Navy, which remained attractive to value-seeking consumers, especially those with large families, due to its wide selection of apparel accessories for men, women and children at low prices.
In the midst of a middle-class retreat and consumers' increasing prioritisation of convenience, US consumers increasingly elected to shop online over travelling to shopping centres. This resulted in the department stores anchoring many Class B and Class C shopping centres, such as Sears and JCPenney, suffering the most, as such retailers failed to innovate in accordance with changing consumer tastes and demands in recent years.
Increasing concern for holistic health and wellness throughout the US helped to boost shares in apparel accessories for a number of the leading sportswear brands, including adidas and Lululemon Athletica, as consumers designated a greater proportion of their closets to athletic apparel. Whilst frequenting these brands' stores and websites more often, shoppers picked up the apparel accessories they offered as they waited in checkout lines or added extra items to their online shopping carts to qualify for free shipping.

Well version 5 is deprecated so they might have pulled the plug remotely on it.
The one thing I do like about V6 is the ability to change the print quantity without going into properties.

TALLer Tales.....
The List Just Keeps Growing:
Over the holidays, my family made a few comments that I'm often my own worst enemy when adding to the infamous "LIST" of projects that need to get done. One sister pointed out that she often wondered if I ever considered that just about every gift I give is electronic or a "smart thing" that requires me to connect or set up. As I thought about it, she was right; my gift obligations rarely end when the gift is unwrapped. The giving of the gift is the easy part! Some gifts are easy to install, some are not! Such is the case with the gift my sisters and I gave our mom and dad this past Christmas.
My parents have a gas fireplace in their condo. Even though it is set and ready to go, my dad just doesn't like using it … for many good reasons. While a fireplace creates a nice ambiance, it really is an energy guzzler. After hearing my dad yap about this so often, I finally did some research online and learned how inefficient fireplaces are and how much warm air really escapes up a fireplace. My dad hates wasting energy and he sees the use of a fireplace as a MAJOR waste of energy. But this hasn't stopped my mom from bringing up many times each winter that it "Sure would be nice to use the fireplace someday." My dad pretends not to hear the comment or just rolls his eyes when she brings up this now often heard wintertime monologue.
A couple of months ago, I bought a new TV stand that has a small electric fireplace imbedded in it. It's cute and creates a warm and quaint fireplace ambiance in the back room of my house. When my mom saw the realistic looking logs and the glow of the flames, she decided she really wanted to get something similar that could fit inside their fireplace. My dad just rolled his eyes. But now my mom was on a mission. She eventually found something that would work and it had the same 3D flame effect we were looking for. And, even better, it was manufactured by Duraflame, "America's Firelog Leader"! But truth be told, my mom was a bit too chicken to buy it not knowing what my dad would say. She really wanted it but was afraid my dad would give it a thumbs down. So, her "mistake" was telling me about this fireplace insert … especially since the Bugarin children and grandchildren had yet to come up with a Christmas gift for them. Even though my mom said to forget about it, I went and bought it anyways. I had no clue how I was going to take out the old gas logs, disconnect the gas supply or install this set but I figured those "minor" details could be determined after Christmas by watching a few online videos. Isn't that what YouTube is for?
On Christmas afternoon, we gathered at my sister Cindy's house in Allenton. My mom and dad opened the big box with their gift and my mom was quite ecstatic. She was happy knowing that soon she would see the flicker of an electric flame in her now abandoned fireplace. She couldn't wait to see it work. As my mom was going on and on about how happy she was and how she couldn't wait to have at least the ambiance of a fireplace in what we call their "Great Room," my dad piped up quickly and loud enough for everyone to hear, "Oh, don't get your hopes up too high. It will probably be two years before you see it in action!" Well, the peanut gallery erupted (mostly because … sad to say … I have a track record and they knew what he said was true). Yes, THE LIST keeps growing but by golly I'm going to figure out this installation quickly and really shock everyone and get it done … uh … soon … I hope.
Some Thoughts on New Year's Resolutions:
If you're like me, you've probably already broken one or two New Year's resolutions. I can never figure out why New Year's resolutions are so hard to keep. We often do great for a few weeks but then the dead of winter sets in and we forget why we created those resolutions in the first place.
I also make sure I have some resolutions that are spiritually related so I continue to deepen my relationship with Christ each year. Did you make any New Year's resolutions that were spiritual in nature? For a moment, let's consider the Magi. Those three kings went to Bethlehem in search of the newborn King of the Jews. They were men on a mission and took
risks to find the Christ child and pay him homage. We need to become like the Magi. We need to set some goals that will bring us closer to Christ and be willing to take whatever risks those goals might require.
Just after Christmas, I saw a post on bustedhalo.com from Elizabeth Manneh. The title of her post caught my attention: "12 Questions to Ask Yourself in the New Year." Ms. Manneh opens her post by talking about how everyone at this time of year is planning to transform their life by establishing new habits. She too laments how she hasn't always been so successful with her resolutions. She decided to take a different approach this year. She decided that maybe if she thought deeper about her motivations she would form better intentions for the New Year. So, she came up with 12 questions (6 that reflect on 2018 and 6 that look forward to 2019) with the hope the answers to those questions would get her off to a more meaningful start for 2019. I thought her 12 questions were something we all should reflect upon and answer as we start the New Year. Here are those 12 questions: 1) In which areas of your spiritual life have you grown most in 2018? 2) In which areas of your spiritual life has your growth disappointed you? 3) How did you view God in 2018? 4) Where have you seen examples of answered prayer? 4) Who has most helped your spiritual development? 6) Who do you think you've helped most in their spiritual journey? 7) In which area of your spiritual life would you most like to grow? 8) What's one spiritual practice you want to devote more time to in 2019? 9) What can you do to become more aware of God's presence? 10) What audacious prayer do you most want answered? 11) Who will you look to for spiritual support? 12) How will you live out your commitment to faith in a practical way?
May these questions help guide us on our spiritual journey as we embark upon this New Year!
Enjoy the week. Know of my prayers.
In Christ,

Mixed Messages
It seems whenever there's an election people try to draw sweeping inferences from one race in particular. A case in point from Ankle Biting Pundits...
Rep. J.D. Hayworth (R-Ariz.), a long sought-after target of Democrats, was finally ousted Tuesday, as state Sen. Harry Mitchell (D) took out the six-term incumbent.Okay, I haven't followed Hayworth's race in any way shape or form, I have no idea if he ran a good campaign or stunk it up. But then there's this from NRO...
Hayworth, an outspoken conservative, has often raised the ire of Democrats, and recently had focused much of his public comments on stopping illegal immigration, a key issue among the Arizona electorate.
But it's possible his enforcement-first position didn't play well in Arizona, where many voters seemed to prefer the comprehensive approach to the issue favored by President Bush. Hayworth campaign aides had insisted that Mitchell was too liberal for the Phoenix area 5th district.
Obviously, that wasn't the case today. Mitchell, a former mayor of Tempe, was so popular in his hometown that the city fathers erected a statue in his honor in front of City Hall.
Hayworth, of course, was the anti-immigration lobby's star. And he was among those who claimed that sealing the border was a big, winning issue for the Republicans.
Not so much.
Arizona passed Prop. 103, English as the state's official language, 74%-26%.What's it all mean Alfie? I have no idea, but I think it's idiotic to presume one race tells the tale on this issue. This sounds more like someone who'd like the issue to go away.
Just to state the obvious here. We live in Luis Gutierrez district in deep blue Chicago. A position of strong enforcement would not be popular here, in fact it will get you death threats, as we know from personal experience. Arizona is a state with strong agricultural ties, I'm sure that has an effect, I also know from living there that it has some liberal strongholds, but I don't know if any of that mattered in this election.
All that to say, It's dumb to make such a sweeping pronouncement from just one race, there could be many other factors.
Digger has more on just how much Arizonians be digging illegal immigration.

MAKEOVER: Pampering With Friends, by Christopher Hopkins, The Makeover Guy®
Susan arrived from Maine and was quite excited about her new makeover. What a lovely woman and her husband admiringly followed her through the day with his camera. She as M.S. but that didn't dampen her spirits. She's a testatment to positive energy when faced with adversity. I could learn a lot from her.

PAM authentication with
Chapter 12. Servers and Services
httpd no longer fails to start if there is a comment in the
Allow directive
Comments had been disallowed at the end of the
Allow directive in the Apache
mod_authz_host module. Consequently, the
httpd daemon failed to start with a syntax error if such a comment was included. With this update, it is possible to insert comments starting with the
# (hash) sign, where
# is interpreted as an end of line, in
Allow or
Deny directives. (BZ#1349546)
db_verify no longer causes
db4 to run out of free mutexes
Previously, the
db4 database did not correctly release all unused mutexes. When running the
db_verify command on
db4 database files multiple times,
db4 quickly ran out of resources for mutex operations. Consequently,
db4 exited with the error message:
Unable to allocate memory for mutex; resize mutex region
leaving the database in an inconsistent state. This bug has been fixed,
db4 now correctly releases mutexes, and the described problem no longer occurs. (BZ#1272680)
OpenPegasus CIM server is no longer automatically enabled
Previously, the
OpenPegasus Common Information Model (CIM) server started automatically after installing the tog-pegasus package and rebooting the machine. Because
OpenPegasus generates a self-signed SSL certificate, the automatic start caused
OpenPegasus to fail certain security tests. This update modifies the
OpenPegasus init script, so that the
OpenPegasus CIM server has to be explicitly started by the user after tog-pegasus is installed. (BZ#1277655)
PAM authentication with
openwsman now works correctly
Previously, the
openwsman Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) configuration file contained non-existing PAM modules. As a consequence,
openwsman PAM authentication in some cases failed. The configuration file has been modified to contain only existing and correct PAM modules. As a result,
openwsman PAM authentication now works more reliably. (BZ#1152654)
The SFCB server now verifies that a WBEM port is available before attempting to use it
The Small Footprint Common Information Model (CIM) Broker (SFCB) uses the same Web-based Enterprise Management (WBEM) port as the OpenPegasus CIM server and other programs. Previously, if the SFCB server was started when the WBEM port was already used by another program, the SFCB server terminated unexpectedly with a segmentation fault. With this update, the SFCB server verifies upon the start whether the desired WBEM port is free to use and proceeds only if the port is free. If the WBEM port is not free, the SFCB server finishes gracefully and logs the reason for its termination. (BZ#907204)
dstat utility now displays data correctly when used with GPFS
Prior to this update, the
dstat utility displayed no data when the
--gpfs-ops option was used. This bug has been fixed, and
dstat now displays data correctly when used with General Parallel File System (GPFS). (BZ#989779)
Evince now displays PostScript files again
Due to a bug, the
evince document viewer failed to display content of PostScript files. A patch has been applied and
evince now displays PostSrcipt files again. (BZ#1410260)
The lwresd service no longer fails to reconnect to forwarders
Previously, when the
resolver-query-timeout parameter in the
/etc/lwresd.conf file was set too low, the
lwresd service stopped querying unavailable DNS forwarder servers after a certain amount of time. If one or more unavailable DNS servers came online, it was possible that
lwresd never used a forwarder that was online. To fix the problem, the service now uses a default minimum value of 10 seconds, if the
resolver-query-timeout parameter is set too low. As a result, all forwarders are queried until one of them responds. (BZ#1325081)

About Us
Where it all began. The story so far…..
Our beautiful baby daughter Elizabeth was born in June 2013.
We found ourselves going out continuously to buy blankets to make her sleep times comfy and at 11 weeks old we cracked it. Unfortunately, Elizabeth became very ill at 5 months old. Although she is fully recovered she has become the centre of our word.
Comfy Baby Collections was created, being a small family business that wished to create those cherished moments of comfort with your little ones, by making gifts personalised with their name, weight or date of birth embroidered.
2015 – After being a primary school teacher for many years. Director of Bright Lights Jeanne watched my own daughter playing with her toys. As a practitioner for the very young children, Jeanne wanted to bring her expertise of teaching to the company. So with Elizabeth's little hands, cheeky smile and warm heart the company entered into the world of wooden toys.
All the toys sold are educational while bringing children the opportunity to ignite their imagination, exploration, and creativity and of course not to forget fun!
2016- Saw Comfy Baby Collections evolve further and with this came the new creation of 'Bright Lights'.
A company wishing to ignite the neuro paths of the brain to create lasting memories for families.
2017- Bright Lights invested in more equipment and began personalising wooden educational toys in-house. A wider range of products were introduced including the introduction of corporate gifts. While Bright Lights was expanding with products. Jeanne wanted to support educational settings, due to Jeanne's passion for learning. An affiliation program was set up to provide collaboration between families, educators and Bright Lights.
2018- Bright Light's core focus is on personalising bespoke quality gifts. With further investments in machinery this time in sublimation printing with a greater focus on a branded design by Bright Lights.
2019- Back groundwork is currently undergoing and coming soon.
While Bright Lights continues to grow as a business, what remains at the heart is the specialising, discovering and designing quality personalised gifts for all our customer's needs and happiness.
While we try our best to keep up to date with technology our aim is to provide our customers with what they desire, so if you can't find what you are looking for on the web, please ask, no job is impossible for a Bright Lights Team

Date: 03-May-11
In May 2011, 'Cartridges 4 Planet Ark' enters its 9th year of operation. In this time, almost 15 million cartridges have been collected for recycling through the program. That's enough cartridges to fill over 30 Olympic-sized swimming pools, or almost 100 jumbo jets! This also represents the diversion of about 6,900 tonnes of plastics, metals, inks and toners from landfill.
Since 2003, Planet Ark has successfully worked with it's participating manufacturers, Brother, Canon, Epson, HP, Konica Minolta and Lexmark, who have acted collectively to ensure responsible recycling of their printer cartridges. The 'Cartridges 4 Planet Ark' recycling program is free, easy, independently audited, and coordinated through a network of over 30,000 locations nationwide.
"Key to the success of program has been the close, and effective partnerships between responsible manufacturers, retail and workplace collection points and the general public," says Janet Sparrow, Planet Ark's Recycling Programs Manager.
Printer cartridges collected through 'Cartridges 4 Planet Ark' are either returned to their original manufacturer for reuse, or recycled into new products by Planet Ark's resource recovery partner Close the Loop.
Other producer-run recycling schemes for electronics in Australia include the Mobile Muster program for mobile phones, the Century Yuasa network for car batteries, and the handheld battery recycling programs now offered by a variety of organisations.
Businesses and workplaces that use 3 or more cartridges per month may be eligible to participate FREE in 'Cartridges 4 Planet Ark'. For more information, please visit http://cartridges.planetark.org.

Boots : River Island // Bag: NowiStyle
As promised, here is a full post on the outfit I wore to the River Island Press Event on Tuesday. This outfit is one of my favourite looks to wear; lots of black, some different textures and a healthy dose of sparkle :) Its also extremely comfortable and warm, which is an essential in Irish weather. Now its no secret to my readers that I love a good gilet, I'd say I own about five of them in various textures and colours of faux fur ~ but this one has to be my favourite. I have seen these kinds of gilets being sold for ridiculous prices on the high street, so I went hunting on eBay (as I often do) and I snapped this one up brand new from an eBay seller for only €19! I'm not sure if they have any left at that price, but click on the link in the outfit description and it will take you to another really reasonable one I have found.
Ps: I uploaded this look to Lookbook, Hypes and Loves are always appreciated :)

This gorgeous beauty is Diana Flave. She is a great representation of African beauty. She is also Miss Tanzania 2016.
Rachel Joy Williams is a beautiful black model. She is from Britain from of Jamaican/Caribbean descent. She was crowned Miss Black Britain in 2006 and went on to compete in the Miss England pageant. Here's a short interview she did:
Tell us a little bit about yourself. Why modelling and when did you first begin modeling?
Rachael: I never actually wanted to be a model. It was my cousin who entered me into the beauty pageant.
At that point in my life I had very low self-esteem and [lacked] confidence (due to being bullied in school); I was so shocked I won but to my family, this was just the beginning.
you could meet anyone in the world dead or alive who would it be and what would say to them?
Rachael: I would love to meet Cleopatra and ask her if she really did bathe in milk and honey daily!
How do you prepare for a modeling shoot?
Rachael: It really depends on the shoot. But I'll always wash and prep my hair, fully wax, eat clean a few days before just so I'm not bloated and to prevent any spots from appearing on my face.
Has your current experience as a model of color been mostly positive or negative?
Overall my main experience as a model has been positive, I'm my own boss, I decide on all the work I do, I get to travel nearly every month, all the jobs are different, I'm always meeting new people, there is no routine and sometimes, I get to keep the clothes!
On occasions I do experience negativity from clients, agencies and the even general public in regards to my weight, my complexion, my attitude, my style e.t.c but I don't let any of that bother me as I know where I am going and I do not need to entertain that along the way.
Have you found that there has been an increase of other models of color since you started, or does the modeling industry still have a long way to go in recruiting models of color?
When I started out, what attracted me to the industry was that there was quite a few models of color that actually working within the industry despite all the negativity surrounding it.
Lesliana Pereira, former Miss Angola has won the 2015 Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAA) for the Best Actress in a Leading Role for her outstanding performance in "Njinga: Queen of Angola".
Lesliana Massoxi Amaro Gomes Pereira, simply known as Lesliana Pereira, is a model, TV presenter, actress and beauty queen. She was born on born October 9, 1985 in Soyo, Zaire. And was crowned Miss Angola in 2008 and represented the country at the Miss Universe 2008. "Njinga – Queen Of Angola" is her debut.
The 11th Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAA) held last night at the Boardwalk International Convention Centre, Nelson Mandela Bay, Port Elizabeth in South Africa.
It is the first AMAA outside Nigeria and has attracted more attention than the previous editions hosted by Bayelsa State in the state capital of Yenagoa since the inaugural edition in May 2005, except for the 2008 edition of AMAA held in Abuja, federal capital of Nigeria and the 2012 edition held in Lagos.
"Njinga – Queen Of Angola" directed by Sérgio Graciano, is based on Queen Anna Nzinga, also known as Ana de Sousa Nzinga Mbande, a 17th-century queen (muchino a muhatu) of the Ndongo and Matamba Kingdoms of the Mbundu people in Angola. The historical film chronicles her journey as an Amazon; woman without fear, who, for 40 years, defended the independence of the Ndongo and Matamba kingdoms.
Njinga Mbande, born in 1582, became famous for the courage and ability to unite different peoples in the struggle against Portuguese invaders. Its actual title in the language quimbundo – "ngola" – was the name used by the Portuguese to name that region, Angola. UNESCO has recognized her as one of the 25 most important female figures in African history,
"Njinga – Queen Of Angola" is the biggest Angolan film so far.

Day 18 - first attempt
But day 18 is important for a few reasons. Firstly, it's the day you stop turning the eggs. Broody hens will often turn their eggs daily when sitting on a clutch, but when in an incubator, you have to do it for them manually. I have to do it by hand - usually once in the morning and once in the afternoon. This turning stops the chicks sticking to the membrane inside the egg. You want to give them the best chance of survival on hatching day, because it's quite an ordeal for a little peep.
The second reason day 18 is important, is you want to make sure your brooder is set up properly. The brooder is where they will live for the next month or so, after hatching. Without their feathers to regulate body temperatures, an artificial heat source is required to keep the chicks warm for about a month - until their feathers grow in.
I have a picture of my table lamp (with an extendable arm) placed directly over the brooder barrel. It has an energy-saver bulb, which doesn't generate as much heat as the old-fashioned light bulbs - but with the barrel shape of the brooder, it captures what heat is generated, perfectly.
This brooder is where I've raised all the chicks to date. It's only a half plastic barrel, normally used as an animal feeder for livestock, but I find it makes a very durable brooder too. When in use, the lamp will be extended lower, and if required, a sheet placed over the top. So what does the inside look like?
I've lined the base with an old cot sheet, and I have several rag towels in storage, intended for the same purpose. Chicks need to develop their ability to stand rather quickly, so it's best to provide a non-slip surface for them to practice on. Old towels provide something for their feet to grip on to, but they also make a great waste collector as well. I change the towels at least twice a day, soak them like nappies and then do a big wash when I have enough.
Some people use wood shavings in their brooders, but I find it gets into their food and water supply too easily. As the chicks grow older, I often pop in a sprinkling of wood shavings on top of the towels, to help absorb some of their messes.
The other important additions to the brooder is food and water containers. Never provide a water container that is deep enough for a chick to drown in. It doesn't even have to be deep water for a new hatchling to drown. Mine is a very small drinker, and only allows for a small beak to sip from. It's seen in the picture above. I've also used an old coffee lid as the feeder.
I provide chick crumbles for the first week and then try introducing lettuce and other organic edibles. A little bit of yoghurt doesn't hurt them either - just the plain stuff, about once a week. I often use a desert spoon and let the chicks eat it off the end. Once they get a taste for it, it's gobbled in a matter of seconds!
Well, fingers crossed for Sunday! All I have to do now is wait...

Oh, I'm so excited for you! Thanks for all the info too - I'm sure my time will come.....!ReplyDelete
How exciting, I can't wait to hear how it goes. I have ordered myself a thermometer and candler (should have got them with the incubator ) so am almost ready.ReplyDelete
I wasn't sure what to do about the brooder, they're so expensive, so I was thrilled to see yours. I can easily copy that design, just need a saw big enough to cut my barrel in half. Or I suppose the old fish tank might do.
Good luck - hope it's 100% success :-)
Thanks for the well wishes, I'm excited too! I have to stop myself from wanting to open the incubator to see if any eggs have pipped yet.ReplyDelete
Being my first attempt, I'm a little nervous as to the success rate. They say it takes a bit of practice with a new incubator before you get it right.
Greenthumb, you can even use just a large cardboard box. As long as the size of the light you provide, can heat the size of the brooder - any container can serve as a chicken brooder. :)
Nothing has happened here yet, but from here on in, I'm watching the incubator like a hawk, LOL. ;)
Thank you for taking the time to comment. I love reading what you have to share. Gully Grove is a Spam free environment though, so new commenter's only leaving hyperlinks, will be promptly composted.

Returning to 'study mode' after the interesting, relaxing summer break is strenuous for every student. There is no more sleeping in, and instead of beach time and open-ended days, you need to attend classes and write homework. Naturally, the transition is hard. But, what if we told you that you can do some things to make it easier?
1. Get Good Rest
You probably had some unhealthy habits during the vacation considering that no obligations or tasks awaited you. However, now comes a time when you need to get to school at a set hour, do your tasks within the deadline, and study for exams. So, whatever those habits were, the first thing to do when summer ends is to get good rest.
A good night's sleep is essential if you want to remain focus and overcome this tough period. With enough energy, you can overcome the difficulties of having to adjust to a strict school routine much easier.
2. Get Moving
One excellent idea for getting back your active 'study mode' is to exercise. Set up a routine where you get enough sleep and exercise for at least fifteen minutes every day. The first days might be hard, but once you get used to this routine, you'll feel much more energized and ready to tackle school assignments.
3. Plan Your Time
To be able to get those precious minutes for yourself, you need to plan your time ahead. With the obligations, you cannot allow yourself to procrastinate or get stuck on a single task, not if you want to finish everything and get some time off.
The best way to organize is by taking a calendar and planning your day or your week. A study plan will also come handy when exam time comes.
4. Cross Off the Small Tasks First
In other words: prioritize. Don't take on the hardest projects first, at least not in the beginning. This might be a solid strategy for later, but until you adjust to the new routine, start with the small tasks and move on to the larger when you are done.

Alan is a local Herefordshire artist working in metal, often using scrap metal and found objects to create amazing sculptures. He said he won't get rich from his art (like many great artists), but is happy. We visited his workshop during a Herefordshire Art Week a year or so ago, and I just had to shoot a portrait. I only had my 'old' G3 with 14-45 lens, but the IQ and definition is amazing. I'm posting this portrait now, prompted by a talk I gave to a camera club just a week ago. I had this image together with others shot on my full frame Nikon 'work' kit, projected up onto a big screen, and difference in image quality between this m43 and FX portraits was imperceptible.

What Is the Bank Of Central African States (BEAC)
The Banque des Etats de l'Afrique Centrale (BEAC) is the central bank serving the Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC). CEMAC is composed of six country members, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Chad, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon and the Republic of the Congo. CEMAC is a member of the larger African Economic Community. BEAC's official currency is the Central African CFA franc, which had an exchange rate that was formerly fixed to the French franc but is now fixed to the euro.
Understanding the Bank Of Central African States (BEAC)
BEAC was established in 1972 under the official name Banque des Etats de l'Afrique Centrale (BEAC). The bank's head office is in Cameroon. The bank's role is to manage the region's monetary policy, issue currency, drive the exchange rate of the region, manage the foreign reserves of the member states and facilitate payments and settlement systems. The BEAC has also implemented macroeconomic convergence, which means it is attempting economic catch up, and monitoring mechanisms. The bank has also adopted a customs union and common external tariff, combined indirect taxation regulations and initiated structural and sector policies.
Scandals at the BEAC
The BEAC has not been free of scandal. Philibert Andzembe of Gabon had been the governor of the BEAC from July 2007 until October 2009. Andzembe was fired by the new president of Gabon, Ali Bongo, after U.S.$28.3 million disappeared from the bank's Paris branch. A WikiLeaks memo dated July 7, 2009, stated that Gabonese officials working for the Bank of Central African States stole U.S.$36 million over a period of five years from pooled reserves and gave the majority of the money to members of France's two main political parties. In late 2010, Lucas Abaga Nchama of Equatorial Guinea was the bank's new leader.
In 2017, a new management team was announced, which included Abbas Mahamat Tolli from Chad and Dieudonné Evou Mekou from Cameroon who had been appointed at the 27th Special Session of Heads of State of the Economic Community of Central African States (CEMAC) in Malabo in late 2017.
BEAC's Strategic Plan
According to the World Bank, the BEAC's Strategic Plan was confirmed by the BEAC's Board of Directors on December 21, 2017. The plan outlined reforms including implementing the monetary policy that was laid out in the operational framework adopted in 2015 by the Monetary Policy Committee; continuing information system acquisition research to obtain accurate and timely data; updating the legal framework for payment systems and infrastructure with a focus on electronic payments and e-money (monetary value stored on a digital device); improving financial analysis; stabilizing and increasing foreign reserve levels by controlling outgoing transactions and launching a gold monetization program and installing and integrating foreign exchange IT systems for better tracking.

Another Radiohead missive surfaced online today. 'Staircase' is a pulsing, rythmic track taken from their forthcoming 'From The Basement' sessions, and this live performance sees the band augmented by the appearance of a second drummer, Get The Blessing's Clive Deamer, who Philip Selway describes as "one of my favourite drummers". There's no 'Lotus Flower' moves here but the band are getting decidedly funky and we think we spot a bit of white man overbite from bassist Colin Greenwood about three minutes in.
The programme will air on July 1.
Radiohead, 'Staircase':
What do you think of the track?

Boston Red Sox Concept Logo
Boston Red Sox Concept Logo by SFGiants58
By SFGiants58 - Graphic Designer Website
Year: 2017
The most noticeable change to the entire set is the new take on the "hanging socks" logo. Now, it showcases the classic striped sock pattern. I figured it'd be a good way to incorporate the hosiery more into the identity, and hammer home the navy/red balance of the look. The primary logo has a new baseball and keeps my navy/red "Boston" and red/navy "Red Sox" division. The "color flip" will be a distinctive element for the Red Sox in this series, as I don't plan on implementing it for other teams.

However, I decided to ditch the sox and replace it with the very famous and popular "B". I created two versions, a navy- and a red-heavy logo. I didn't change the basic design of the original mark from 2009, simply because it's a classic.

In order to redesign the Red Sox, I wanted to keep the old nostalgic feel, while still modernizing the team. I started with making the red a little darker and the blue a little lighter to have the color compliment each other better and added accents to the socks and the letter "B."

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- Willis Group said Monday that it hired four more brokers from Marsh & McLennan as the third-largest insurance broker tries to capitalize on its larger rival's regulatory woes.
Charles Halsey, who worked at Marsh MMC, -0.32% for 12 years, will head a new Las Vegas office, Willis said. Dianne McClyment and Vicki Campion have also left Marsh to work in Willis' new Las Vegas office, the company added.
Willis WSH also said Dan Caffrey has joined as a senior vice president in its Minneapolis office after spending a decade at Marsh.
Willis is hoping to win business from Marsh after the largest insurance broker was sued by New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer in October for allegedly rigging bids and accepting so-called contingent commissions in return for steering business to favored insurers.
Willis shares slid 65 cents, or 1.5 percent, to $41.81 Monday.

Nothing seems real and it's a bitter irony. The world I used to live in vanished the night I got clean, but maybe it was for the better. I was living in a world where drugs fought for my sanity—or insanity—I manipulated everything around me. It was all a mass conformity to something that could never, ever, be true. The way my life was run—or ruined—was a bitter taste of dying; it was this or sobriety. I felt the need to cover myself up, only to be left with a feeling of needing a purge a moment after. I was horrified to look in the mirror, "What's wrong with me?" Then something happened.
I made a choice to get clean, but many choices after that seemed to be a-so blah and irrationally surreal. The first days clean felt like an opaque prison. I was reminded to not throw stones—or get stoned—or I'd be beaten, crumbling all the way down into the gutters. When I first got clean nothing feels like it should. I was stuck in an illusion. I was between Wonderland and the fiery depths of Hell. I couldn't tell if I were the Mad-Hatter or if I was the whole damn tea party! It's funny how your world that was once flipped upside down, now was drowning you. Coming back up, gasping for air, I had to flip it back over again. But, without drugs. A hard choice to handle, but truly a more confusing road to glorify.
I could walk around, but that's about all I'd be doing. My head wasn't screwed on straight and I wasn't sure whether it would be ever again. I remember times where I was out with mother and brother. We would be shopping and the little one would light up to the sights of glorious windows, filled with plentiful items. "Purchase here!" or "Look at me!" would be plastered in front of my face, but it all just felt like one big headache! My emotions where slow to react and my brother was twenty feet—maybe thirty—in front of me. I finally said it to mother, "That's alright…" without much incentive on anything. There was nothing to be excited about, and nothing too enthralling from my diminishing demeanor. I felt as if I couldn't feel anything at all. It was only Christmas. I was 21 years old, my first sober time of supposed excitement. But, only all to contrary.
It felt as if nothing—or everything—wasn't real. I was too busy. Stuck in my head, but stuck in between nothing. I was just a rock in a hard place, but thank god I wasn't a stone… or stoned. I tried to display emotion, but everything I knew was an extreme imagination to what I used to know. What I used to know what a sense of euphoric bliss with the slightest hint of surreality. It was as if I had painted an imaginative play before my very own eyes… which drugs' next?
But now… now I was sober. If it seems confusing, it is. It's a hard choice to make and some choose not to make it! Everything came to me sober, but just a little bit slower. It was a hard time in my life. I didn't have much of anything to say because if I did it wasn't anything righteous enough to live by. I was too fed up with the way things were, the way they needed to be, and the way they weren't. I was disconnected from what truly anchored me, but maybe it was all for the better? I wasn't sticking needles in my arms, and that's a start.
No one really could solve my problem. What was the problem? I felt nothing real, because I didn't know what real was at this point in my life.
How was I supposed to react? The only way I knew how had been stripped from me. Rightfully, it was to keep me alive. But right now, this particular juncture between passed addictions, getting clean, and staying clean, the truth is that I didn't know what alive really meant! Choosing sobriety was a tricky task with a previous life so different. Deviance is all I've ever known, but I need to solve the problem. But first, what is it?
What do I do to solve this? They say time heals all wounds but I couldn't tell what time really had in store for me. I was in a cycle of confusion and choices. But, anything was better than downing a bottle to myself. "Gin and tonic… hold the Gin please!"
Was it all moving too fast? Yeah sometimes it was. Was it moving too slow? Most times I'd agree here too. Or was it just all kind of "Who gives a f#$@?" I would say you hit it on the nose with that one! But, why am I confronted with these choices? I think I've been confronted all along, just this time I'm not numb to it. In a matter of speaking by this recognition I've already made a choice. I choose sobriety.
The truth of the matter is, the most crucial time for anyone recovering may be that very short period between getting sober and staying sober. The time we call, "getting sober" can really, truly mold us. This will be the spot in our mind that we made the conscious decision, "Is sobriety right for me?" Many ask this question. Many sponsors urge you to think on it very carefully. But, no one has the answer except you. So it's time to make a choice. Is sobriety the right choice for you?
I said yes five years ago and it was the best choice I have ever made. Today I surrender willingly, openly, and justly. I will continue to surrender every day, as each new day dawns. What will you choose today?

Setting goals can be such a drag. ; Hey I know I have junk that I need to work on but taking the time to think about where I am, where I probably should be and what it will take to get there is a lot to ponder. ; Then when I actually sit down to write it all out, it can be down right discouraging. ; Perhaps you can relate. ; Funny things is that whether we have gone through a formal goal setting process or not we are setting goals. ; ; Goals are either acts of commission or omission. ; ;The proof is in the results. ;
When it comes to your health you either commit to actively doing something or omit doing anything. ; When you commit to trusting God to help you make lifestyle changes like exercising regularly, eating proper portions or making healthier food choices, you are setting goals that will result in improving your well being. ; When you omit this goal setting process you are still in effect setting a goal – to do nothing. ; This will result in your staying the same and most likely go down hill. ; But is that really what you want? ; To get worse?
I know many times I have avoided setting a goal because the one I want to reach seems so far off. But I will never get there if I don't start somewhere. ; What helps me is to focus on one goal at a time and then to chunk down that one goal into steps. ; This way I can at least be moving in a forward direction.
Saturday it was a pleasure to help kick off the Makeover 101 Fitness Challenge at Sugar Creek Baptist Church. ; We should all be in the process of setting goals and we talked about focusing on one at a time. ; So I wanted to share that my first goal for this 101 Day Challenge is to get PROPER REST more often. ; Genesis 2:2-3 and Matthew 11:28-30 make it clear that the creator of the universe and the Lord when he became flesh promoted REST. ; What makes me think I don't need it? So in chunking it down here are my first three steps to get there:
1. Keep a log of how much rest I get (nightly, downtime, nap (LOL yeah right), relaxation times (kidding right ? 🙂), etc.
2. for my rest detractors – the things that are not properly prioritized and prevent my rest.
3. Change one thing in my schedule to promote rest.
What's your goal and how will you get there? ; I'll keep you posted on how mine is going! Let's keep reaching out to our friends so we can get 101 women to join in the challenge!
