Hair dye tips, from someone who dyed their hair green?
Yes, really. I get a lot of questions about the Japanese Hair Dyes, so I thought I'd do a quick post on choosing a Japanese hair dye and also show the gorgeous new visuals from Palty – the shades haven't actually changed, but Palty do bother to change the imagery every now and then.
I love these hair colours and I love the visuals! Yes they have daft names. What shades would you choose? (tips at the end of the post!)
1. Macaroon Beige:
2. Caramel Latte:
Warmer version of Macaroon Beige
3. Sakura Creamy:
Creamy reddish brown
4. Maple Donut:
Quite a light blonde brown – have tried this it lightens the hair quite a lot
5. Strawberry Macaroon:
A warm red
6. Ganache Tart:
A brown, slight plum tone – have tried this, quite nice
7. Bitter Cappucino:
One of the darker ones, gorgeous brown and would be my top choice for now as I'm looking for something more subtle.
8. Juicy Peach:
Warmer than I like but it's still very very pretty I think!
9: Honey Peanut:
Really really light, the stripper in me likes this.
10. Beauty Mauve:
Have tried this, it has quite a strong purple tone.
11. Pure Natural:
A mid toned brown with a hint of red – it's nice and quite safe.
12. Jewelry Ash:
I have tried this – it's the darkest on e they do, it has a sort of plummy tone to it from what I remember. It does go on DARK.
13. Vanilla Beige:
Have tried this – lovely stuff but it won't go as light as the picture and it's hard to maintain if you are dark
14. Caramel Brown:
Have tried this – quite a safe mid toned brown
15. Milk Tea Brown:
I see this one everywhere all the time – it's very popular – it goes no where near as light as the photo it becomes more of a subtle brown.
16. Honey Brown:
This is a mid toned yellowy brown – so I guess the name Honey Brown is apt!
Kao Prettia also do great hair dyes and the rather creepy Blythe Doll hair dyes.
10 quick Japanese hair dye notes, hints and tips
Colour is truth, truth is colour
1. The only way you are going to go from having dark hair to having the shades as on the above models, you have to lighten it first by using a bleach (Palty do one) formulated so you can prep the hair), THEN dye over it. Obviously this is very very drying on the hair but this is what you do if you want it to look like it does on the models.
The dye WILL lighten your hair, better than most western dyes will, but not by 5 shades!
This WILL make your roots more noticeable when it grows out, as will any dye if you are changing your hair colour a lot.
Stingy Quantities
2. Foam dyes, like the Prettia will go really far and will cover long hair – if you are using Palty or Blythe you will need 2 packs for shoulder length or 3 packs longer hair because I find they give you less that with western dyes.
Don't do what I did
3. ASH! Be careful – I used an ash dye by blythe and that's what turned my hair green – I should have known better. Certainly a lot of South East Asian women like myself naturally have a lot of red in their hair – I've realised that fighting it with an ash doesn't always look right – Japanese dyes do tend to compliment the redness that is already in the hair IMO.
4. These dyes tend to come with special applicators, like comb ones. You might not be used to this if you use western brands. Just mix it and use a plastic dish to apply – use a brush or your fingers. You can buy those hair dye bowls from Boots and Superdrug for a few pounds, they can cope with the chemicals!
5. I find Japanese hair dyes are EXCELLENT for not staining. Obviously protect your skin anyway but it is very good for not leaving marks.
Going Brassy
6. A few months after using these dyes my hair tends to go quite brassy- in which case you can use a purple shampoo to calm it down and re-dye or I like my Lilac Paint from Fudge – it removes some of the nasty yellowness!
Palty is quite bad for this – Prettia not so much but of course it depends on the shade you use. Anything very light or yellow is going to go brassy!
7. Instructions with Japanese hair dyes do NOT come with English – at least none of the ones I have tried.
There are images to show you what to do and to be honest…it's not that difficult but bear this in mind and bear in mind you won't be able to read the ingredients (unless you are Japanese. D'oh!)
8. My hairdresser told me to apply it to the roots, then in the last ten minutes take it through to the ends to even the colour out for the sake of saving my ends from being over processed. I find the roots take the dye really quickly so keep an eye on your timings.
But I'm really thick with colour!
9. Home hair dye challenged?
Thicker than me? Then I recommend going to a salon…
But if you don't want to, choose a foam dye – like Prettia and there are various foaming dyes because they are so so so so so so easy to use – they are truly brilliant. Choose something that's not too dramatic and won't require too much upkeep either.
10. You can buy these dyes from eBay, Adambeauty, Beautyeshop – they're the main two I would recommend.
Have you tried Japanese Hair Dyes?

Utilimaster Innovation Develops Most Fuel-Efficient Walk-in Van
Utilimaster Establishes Ford Transit Van Upfit Center in Kansas City to Maximize Cost Savings
Utilimaster Selected to Operate Ram Commercial Upfit Center and Mopar Custom Shop
More jobs are coming to Elkhart County. This time Wakarusa-based Utilimaster is upping its staffing as it launches a brand new, eco-friendly delivery truck line.
The vehicle, coined the "Reach", promises to save fuel and reduce carbon emissions for companies like FedEx and UPS.Utilimaster plans to hire up to 30 people by the end of this year. Then come 2012, Utilimaster says it will tack on another 30 jobs. In total, 60 more employees, many of which will be full-time with full benefits.Praised for its ease of entrance and large cargo space, Utilimaster says the Reach's truest benefits, sit below the hood."It will be a very green product, very focused on always lowering the operating costs. So when people look at it they say, 'wow I did not know I could reach for this and get everything done," said Spartan Motors President John Sztykiel.Thanks to an aerodynamic structure and light-weight frame, the Reach van weighs 600 lbs. less than its competitors.In turn, drivers will save 1,000 gallons of diesel fuel for every 20,000 miles on the road. That translates to $3,780 in savings per van with current diesel fuel costs."People often ask, 'what's the key to helping our economy?' It's jobs, jobs, jobs and Utilimaster and their partners understand this concept," Rep. Joe Donnelly staffer Hodge Patel said.Another benefit, just one Reach vehicle utilizes 53 parts suppliers. The company says 51 of which are American manufacturers, 29 are based in Indiana, and 25 come from companies here in Michiana."We in Wakarusa and here at Utilimaster are just thrilled to have the opportunity to grow our business, grow jobs and support customers better as we push forward into the future," Utilimaster President John Forbes added.Compared to other vans its size, the Reach reduces exhaust fumes by 85 percent. That in turn lowers carbon dioxide emissions by eleven tons per van, for every 20,000 miles.-Kevin Lewis, WNDU16

A Danny DeVito scale figure, and how!
I'm no top shelf at all, but a bit of a bore
More like the Suess that was stuck in a drawer
I am the Lorax, I speak for the trees
I'm a creature whose hair is like Wilford Brimley's
"But the trees have no tongue, and neither should you…"
Unless Liberty Medical buys it, that's true!
So what better way to proclaim our green days
than for your humble Lorax to nag at your ways
You people buy water, when it's really quite free…
and 5 dollar popcorn at IMAX for me!
So plant trees, I'm saying, and don't cut them down!
Or you'll slup and you'll grunt and make Humming-fish frown
Embrace nature, you see, but I don't mean to nag
as your kids eat soft pretzels from a hot plastic bag
Take care of our planet from the day you are born
And add grickly butter-like slop on popcorn
Do not buy the air when the air should be free
But slather your nachos with goop colored like me
Our resources are scarce, so preserve them you see
and drive away home in your big SUV
I'd preach at you more, but the film's almost done
So get out of our IMAX, and make room for someone!
For the planet is really quite less our concern
Than the number of dollars Universal will earn
I am the Lorax, I speak for the trees
And if money will grow on them, that's the bee's knees21

Diabetes Travel Tips
Planning a trip? Do you have diabetes? Whether you're camping or cruising, you can go anywhere and do almost anything. It just takes a little planning ahead.
Travel can make it hard to keep your blood sugar within your target range because of changes in time zones, meal schedules, and types of foods available. Check your blood sugar level more often during your time away from home.
Whenever you need to see a doctor away from home, let him or her know you have diabetes. And always wear medical identification. In an emergency, medical identification lets people know that you have diabetes so they can care for you appropriately if you are unable to speak.
General Travel Tips
When you are traveling:
- Use a travel agent who knows the needs of a person with diabetes. The agent can arrange for special meals or other special travel needs.
- Take extra diabetes pills (if you have type 2 diabetes), insulin and injection supplies, blood sugar meter batteries, test strips, and lancets. You may not find your regular supplies wherever you travel.
- Double your normal amount of needed supplies for short trips. For long trips, have enough extra supplies to last for 2 weeks more than the length of your trip.
- To keep your blood sugar at your usual level, try to eat and take your medicine as close to your regular schedule as you can.
Car travel
When you are traveling by car:
- Have snacks and drinks with you. Keep sugar-free drinks and drinks with sugar in an ice cooler.
- If needed, store your insulin in the cooler so that it will stay at a more constant temperature. Don't let the insulin touch the ice.
- Keep your blood sugar meter at room temperature. Don't leave it in a hot or cold car or in the sun.
- Walk a few minutes every 2 hours to improve the blood flow in your legs.
Plane travel
When you are flying:
- Check with your doctor, if needed, about changing your insulin dose and timing if you will travel across three or more time zones.
- Stay up to date with airport security rules. When you get ready to go through security, tell the officer that you have diabetes and are carrying diabetes supplies with you. Insulin pumps may set off alarms.
- Pack your diabetes supplies in your carry-on bag. Luggage can get lost and supplies damaged by the temperature extremes in the baggage area. You will need medical identification or a doctor's prescription for your needles and syringes to be allowed through airport security.
- Put your insulin bottle (vial), if needed, into a small, wide-mouth, cool, empty thermos if you are not sure that temperatures will stay in a range that is safe for your insulin.
- Put in half the air you usually add to the insulin vial, if needed, to adjust for altitude air pressure changes if you draw up your insulin while flying.
- Get up and walk every hour or so. This will help blood flow in your legs and will make sure that your insulin works properly.
International travel
When you are traveling to other countries:
- Find out which immunizations are needed for your trip. Get immunized at least 3 to 4 weeks before you travel. These shots can increase your blood sugar for a short time.
- Visit your doctor if you take insulin and are traveling overseas. Ask for a letter stating that you have diabetes and need to carry syringes and other supplies with you at all times. Also, ask for an extra prescription for your insulin. Take both with you on your trip to help you pass through customs with your syringes, needles, and other injection supplies. In some countries, insulin is available in U-40 concentrations only. If you have to use this concentration, you will need to use syringes that are designed to dispense this concentration.
- Pack a small disposable container with you to hold your used lancets and needles (wide-mouth plastic soda pop or water bottles work well).
- Pack a supply of nonprescription medicines (that will not affect blood sugar levels) to treat minor illnesses such as a cold.
- Pack a language/translation book or other type of aid that will help you express your diabetes needs to others if you are traveling to a country where English is not the main language.

There are thousands of state and federally funded treatment beds available across the nation, and most people in real financial distress will qualify for at least some degree of subsidized care. Some of the facilities offer very comprehensive services, access to great medical care and a very high standard of treatment.
Most programs are designed for people living in poverty, and are not well set up to meet the needs of the substantial numbers of people who do not live in poverty, but at the same time do not have good private health insurance and cannot afford to self finance a very expensive period of residence at a private rehab.
Additionally, due to great demand and limited availability, virtually all state funded treatment beds will maintain a long waiting list. When someone decides to get help for an addiction, therapists encourage that person to get help immediately, before they change their mind, or circumstances change. A long wait time is far from ideal, and derails the transient good intentions of far too many people suffering through addictions.
Still, because many of these facilities do offer quality care, and because this care may be accessed either free of charge or at very low cost, as a good initial step you should call your state health services agency to find out your options. It may not work out, but if a couple of hours of assessment and phone calls gets you into free treatment in a timely manner, your time will have been well spent.
What you need to do?
Call the phone number for your state social services office. These offices are for addictions help so they are ready to assist you in finding care. You will want to ask:
Are subsidized services offered for people with your income?
Where exactly you need to go?
What times each day are assessments done?
What documents you will need to bring?
Do you need to be sober for the assessment?
How long is the waiting list for residential care?
It may not work, you may not be eligible, and the waiting list for service may be unreasonably long; but before you pay for care you cannot afford, or before you give up in frustration on the whole exercise, you should take a few hours to find out whether or not the state can help.
If it works, it's the best available option.
Remember, you can get better, people do everyday, and you'll never regret anything you do that gets you there.

This was our first time using Sitters and as I had been recommended by a work colleague I had high expectations which were 100% met. Petya texted me an hour before she was due to arrive so I knew everything was under control. She was 10 minutes early and immediately put me at ease - she was obviously experienced and calm and quickly worked out what needed to be done with my children. I felt 100% safe leaving them in her care and with her in the house and I would definitely use her again.
Maria was wonderful - my 2 year old was a bit shy when She arrived, but Maria quickly put her at ease by playing with her - my daughter warned to her very quickly! She then sent a text saying how they were getting on and that she had gone to sleep. When we got back, Maria gave us a summary of what they'd done, and that she's been up and checked on her. I felt very relaxed leaving my daughter with Maria and wouldn't hesitate to use her again!
Aleksandra was brilliant, she arrived on time, engaged immediately with my young children (ages 5 and 9) and made them feel comfortable and at ease. This was the first time they had been with a sitter who wasn't already known to them and they had no problems or anxieties at all. I'd be happy to recommend Aleksandra to any other parents.

Gearing up for the release of Lotus next week, Christina Aguilera has had a lot to say about her new album. In an album preview session earlier this week with fans she spoke of her excitement to get her record out.
"As in every record, this is my heart. It's a labor of love. This is blood sweat and tears and stuff from the heart," she said. "You'll hear on this record, I've written songs especially for the next generation to hopefully inspire new singers of raw talent and realness."
While she gave a preview of a few more emotional songs like the poignant "Blank Page" she said expect Lotus to have fun songs too.
"I wanted to make Lotus about freedom," she said. "It's a nod also to all my fans out there who are these unbreakable flowers, that's what Lotus means to me. We're always going to have our ups and downs and I wanted to speak about that, share that and inspire."
Xtina said Lotus is about being at a place where she wants to celebrate and "welcome in all the positive light and all the positive energy around me."
"[It's] a celebratory record of this time and place and surviving over a decade or so in this business and the rocky roads ahead," she said. "Lotus [embraces] the woman that I've become and helped me appreciate the journey of the last decade."
I hosted an album preview event the other night. Watch and hear songs from #LOTUS.vevo.ly/PUI0W5
— Christina Aguilera (@TheRealXtina) November 6, 2012
In an interview at Billboard's Film & TV Conference she said that Lotus has allowed her to express her pop side.
"There are a few key songs on the record that some of them stay true to my pop roots, it embraces being a pop star," she said. "Coming full circle now, over a decade in this business . . . it's a celebratory time in my life where Lotus helps me to express that."
Expect a duet with fellow The Voice judge Blake Shelton. Someone she likens to her big brother, she can't wait for fans to hear the track titled "Just A Fool."
"'It's my first country soul attempt. It's really exciting. He makes me smile and laugh like no other. He has my back and I have his. I truly adore Blake Shelton," she said.
Lotus will be released November 13.

Unity School of Christianityby Russ Wise
The Unity School of Christianity is a classic new age cult. It has the appearance of being Christian; however, it holds pantheistic or new age beliefs at its core. Unity was founded by Charles and Myrtle Fillmore in 1889, and was later incorporated as a church in 1903 by the Unity Society of Practical Christianity in Kansas City. Unity is best known by its publication The Daily Word, used by many who are unaware of its doctrinal positions.
The Unity School of Christianity began as a quest for physical healing by its co-founder, Mary Caroline Page, known as Myrtle, the wife of Charles Fillmore. Even before their marriage in March of 1881 Myrtle had already developed an eclectic theology. Charles had a background in Hinduism, Buddhism, Rosicrucianism, and Theosophy.
They became students of metaphysics and after taking some forty or more courses Myrtle developed what was to become known as Practical Christianity. Myrtle became a practitioner of "mental healing."
A spiritual breakthrough came for Myrtle in 1886 when she attended a meeting lead by Dr. E.B. Weeks, a noted metaphysician. Dr. Weeks made a statement that would change Myrtle's understanding of herself and set her on a new course of spiritual development. Myrtle was in a state of mental and physical illness and had come to a point where she was not helped by either medicine or physicians. Dr. Weeks' statement that day brought her the healing she sought. She cherished each word of the phrase "I am a child of God and therefore I do not inherit sickness."
Myrtle believed that she had discovered a great "spiritual truth" regarding healing, i.e., by repeating this phrase as a positive affirmation she would be healed. She began to offer her services to others and soon developed a following of those seeking divine healing.
The Fillmores were students of Phineas Parkhurst Quimby, a mental healer and metaphysician. Myrtle was also a follower of Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of Christian Science, who was likewise influenced by Quimby. Unity, therefore, was birthed by the Fillmores, but its roots go back to directly to Mary Baker Eddy and both directly and indirectly to Phineas Quimby.
According to Charles Fillmore the name Unity was adopted in 1895, denoting that Unity was devoted to the spiritualization of all humanity and took the best from all religions. He said the following regarding the eclectic belief system of Unity:
Thus many Christians adopt Unity's teachings and bring those back into their churches, not identifying their "new" teachings as Unity's and thereby compromising the doctrinal integrity of the church.
Unity Doctrine and Theology
God is not a personality but a spiritual energy "force" or principle of love. Charles Fillmore in his book, Jesus Christ Heals, says that "God is not loving. God is love . . . from which is drawn forth all feeling, sympathy, emotion, and all that goes to make up the joys of existence."
Fillmore goes on to say, "God does not love anybody or anything. God is the love in everybody and everything. God exercises none of His attributes except through the inner consciousness of the universe and man." In other words, God is not a personal being but an energy or force that expresses itself as a pantheistic love that permeates all things.
H. Emilie Cady attempts to reconcile the seemingly incongruous possibility that God can be both personal and impersonal by her statement:
It's obvious that Unity's understanding of who God is has fallen victim to its own syncretism. Unity, while attempting to identify itself as being biblical, has offered too much on the "altar of tolerance" and, thereby, has prostituted itself on the bed of other gods.
Donald Curtis, former minister at Unity Church of Dallas and author of several Unity books, has this to say about God: "Every one of us has planted within him a God-seed, and the business of life is to see that this seed grows, unfolds, and expresses in our world."
Curtis goes on to say, "As this seed unfolds through the development of the Christ consciousness, we fulfill our highest objective in this world."
The ultimate goal of those who follow Unity teaching is to recognize their "oneness" with the "Force," thereby realizing their true self, the God-Self. The god of Unity is an adaptation of Hindu belief regarding the divine. God is a part of His creation. God is in all things.
Jesus the Christ
Unity also holds an unbiblical view of Jesus. Donald Curtis agrees with Unity theology in that he believes that Jesus the man is fundamentally different from Jesus the Christ. Curtis says, "Christ is the universal principle of love and wisdom. Christ is the only Son of God, but this only Son of God lives in each one of us."
Curtis makes a primary deviation from biblical understanding in that he holds the position that Jesus is man and that Christ is divine consciousness. He states, "Let us prepare ourself so that the Christ may be born in our own consciousness!" In other words, our spirituality is based on the discovery that the Christ is inherently within each one of us regardless of our personal beliefs or affiliations.
Curtis continues: "When we say 'Jesus the Christ,' we must realize that Jesus represents man and Christ represents God in man." Unity distorts Christ as the Messiah and renders Him as a "universal principle of love" that resides in all of humanity simply waiting to be discovered through self-consciousness.
Unity, along with other New Age belief systems, espouses a mental and spiritual 'transformation' that will raise our consciousness. According to Curtis "there are levels of development through which we grow toward full Christ-consciousness when we are truly transformed, fully reborn."
The pantheistic nature of Unity is expressed in Curtis' declaration that "we let our self be ruled by the Christ within. We let the Christ teaching unfold in and through us in this great new age. We know that this Christ principle indwells every individual, no matter what his religious beliefs may be. . . . We give thanks for the realization of the mystical Christ, for the Christ consciousness alive in our life."
Unified Man
According to Donald Curtis, man's primary purpose is to recognize that he is divine. He states: "There is another teaching, however a higher teaching. It is that man has always existed as part of God, and that this God-self, which is the living Essence of everything, individualizes itself in man."
Curtis goes on to say that "within each of us there is a great, wise, and beautiful Being. This is what we really are -- the living Essence of everything. We are evolving constantly. We have self-consciousness; now we must develop God-consciousness, a sense of universal unity. And we must endeavor to manifest this God- consciousness in our world to solve our apparent differences through love and understanding."
Unity teaches evolution, both physical and mental or spiritual. It teaches that mankind evolves toward Godhood and that this collective God-consciousness will be man's solution to all his problems. This teaching elevates mankind to divinity, a position that is far from biblical teaching.
In his book The Way of the Christ, Curtis says that "man is human, but he is first of all divine." He adds that "as we recognize and identify with the Christ within, we become one with the universal Self-God."
This is nothing more than Hindu philosophy dressed in Western garb: everything is a part of God and God encompasses all that is, whether it be animate or inanimate. This idea, pantheism, is widely held in the East and is being imported to the United States via every means available to man.
H. Emilie Cady in her book, Lessons in Truth, says that "man originally lived consciously in the spiritual part of himself. He fell by descending in his consciousness to the external or more material part of himself." In other words, the fall of man was from the spiritual realm to the physical and this fall has caused him to suffer spiritual amnesia. Therefore man's dilemma is to reclaim his place in the spiritual realm through right thinking.
Unity teaches that as man discovers his innate divinity he continues to raise his consciousness until he becomes fully God- realized. Once man has achieved this state of understanding he recognizes that he is in perfect oneness with God and is not in need of redemption but that he is indeed the divine.
The unbiblical position regarding salvation held by Unity is clearly seen in the Unity publication, The Way to Salvation. This pamphlet states that "Jesus Christ was not meant to be slain as a substitute for man; that is, to atone vicariously for him. Each person must achieve at-one-ment with God, by letting the Christ Spirit within him resurrect his soul into Christ perfection."
Curtis says that "more than ever, we need to become quiet and focus upon the inner. We need to be still and to know that the presence within is God." When one becomes fully aware of this divine presence salvation is realized because the individual no longer has a sense of lostness.
Unity teaches that the individual lives a number of lifetimes within one existence. Dr. Donald Curtis of the Unity Church of Dallas writes that "it isn't so important that we make it in this particular lifetime, as it is to realize that we do make it, because there is only one lifetime and it goes on forever."
Article 22 of the Unity Statement of Faith states, "we believe that the dissolution of spirit, soul and body, caused by death, is annulled by rebirth of the same spirit and soul in another body here on earth. We believe the repeated incarnations of man to be a merciful provision of our loving Father to the end that all may have opportunity to attain immortality through regeneration, as did Jesus."
Charles Fillmore rejected the standard understanding of reincarnation as described by the Hindu or the Buddhist. He could not accept their respective teachings regarding the Law of Karma or the Transmigration of the soul. For him reincarnation was a much more simple way for God to offer man a second chance at perfection.
This teaching of reincarnation is perhaps the most destructive of all the false teachings of Unity. The belief in reincarnation undercuts the primary tenets of the gospel. One would have to deny the deity of our Lord, His physical resurrection, and His Second Coming to accept the error of Charles and Myrtle Fillmore.
Reincarnation undercuts Christian doctrine in three ways. First, it assumes that God is impersonal and is therefore unknowable. Second, reincarnation denigrates the Atonement of Christ, and third, it denies the fact that Jesus physically resurrected from the dead. We need to look at each of these more closely.
The Bible does not offer any evidence to support these assumptions. On the contrary, the Bible clearly teaches that God is a personal Being and that He is knowable. Isaiah 43:25 and Jeremiah 31:20 tell us that God remembers; Exodus 3:12 and Matthew 3:17 say that God speaks; Genesis 1:1 and 6:5 along with Exodus 2:24 say that God sees, hears and creates. Elsewhere the Bible tells us that God is a personal Spirit (John 4:24 and Hebrews 1:3). Since God is a personal Being, He has a will (Matthew 6:10, Hebrews 10:7-9 and 1 John 2:17). Because God has an expressed will, He will also judge His creation (Ezekiel 18:30 and 34:20, and also 2 Corinthians 5:10).
Unity attempts to denigrate the Atonement of Christ in order to build a better case for reincarnation; however, the Atonement delivers man from the cyclical concept of rebirth. Reincarnation does not offer us either peace or hope. The Atonement offers us peace because we do not have to rely on our own righteousness, and it offers us hope because of what Jesus did on the cross. Jesus has dealt with our sin on the cross and our response is to simply accept His work on our behalf.
Likewise, Unity cannot accept a physical resurrection for our Lord. Unity holds that the disciples expected Jesus to be reincarnated, not resurrected. The biblical claims that Jesus rose physically, appeared to and was recognized by many, was physically touched by some, and ate fish with others are troublesome and must be explained away or spiritualized into meaninglessness if Unity is to seem plausible. (See Luke 24:16 and 31.)
The Unity School of Christianity is recognized as a cult because it exhibits several cultic characteristics. One such characteristic is syncretism. Syncretism is the attempt to combine or reconcile differing beliefs, usually by taking the most attractive features from several sources and combining them into a something new. Unity has taken what some would call "the best qualities" of various religious view points and combined them into a new and more acceptable faith.
Another characteristic of cults that is true of Unity is the denial of the biblical doctrine of salvation by faith in Christ's person and His finished work on the cross. In Unity, salvation comes by recognizing our inherent divinity and our oneness with God.
Unity is, in my opinion, the most deceptive of the cultic groups that use the word Christian in their name. Unity's distinction is that the follower of its teaching is encouraged to remain in his respective church home whether it be Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, or whatever. The followers of Unity considers their denominational affiliation as a mission field where they can subtly disseminate their ideas.
I recall that when I first became a believer and was attending a Methodist church, there was a particular woman in the church who often greeted me with the phrase, "Greetings to your higher self." It was a peculiar way to greet someone, yet I never asked her what she meant by it. It was several years later when I became a student of the cults that I understood the significance of her greeting. She was a follower of Unity's teachings, that each of us has the divine residing within us and that the higher self is God.
According to Charles Fillmore, Unity is the blending of various religions and belief systems into one unified system of thought. The Fillmores introduced beliefs into their system that had been commonplace in Eastern religions and occult practices.
The Fillmores introduced a pantheistic view of God to their followers and saw God as being both male and female. God is seen as an energy or force that resides in all things both animate and inanimate. Likewise God is seen as being impersonal and a part of His creation.
Jesus is a principle of "love" that brings oneness to all things. This Christ principle is present within each one of us and ultimately unifies us in a salvation experience.
Unity teaches that man's primary problem is that he has spiritual amnesia and needs to reconnect with his destiny. He needs to regain the realization that he is evolving toward divinity.
Salvation, according to Unity, comes by recognizing one's divine nature. Unity does not recognize the Atonement of Christ but rather seeks what Eastern mystics refer to as at-one-ment or realizing oneness with the divine on a spiritual level.
Since Unity does not recognize the work of Christ on the cross (the Atonement), but rather accepts evolution as a positive ingredient in man's spirituality, it is only logical that they embrace reincarnation as a valid system for spiritual enlightenment. As you can see, then Unity is not based on biblical teaching. To the contrary, it is heavily influenced by Eastern thought and belief. Unity is a classic New Age cult and is not Christian in any aspect of its doctrine or teaching.

I haven't played a tabletop game since my near-obsession with Warhammer back in my college days.
But this weekend I decided to take the plunge again, this time with my 10-year-old son. We settled on World War II-era Flames of War.
While doing some research on the game I came across quite a few images from battles that looked an awful lot like screenshots from some of the video games I like to play. Here are a few of my favorites.

For large spaces, choose 62 inch ceiling fans or greater. These large fans will enhance the look and feel of your great room, big bedroom or oversized space. Browse Casablanca fans with lights for a selection of beautiful fans with lights such as the Atria ceiling fan. Choose a new huge fan, 62 inches or larger, from a variety of styles and finishes with stylish solid wood blades.
Add Comfort to Vast Spaces with Large Fans – 62 Inches or Larger
A common industry tip when buying a new ceiling fan is that the size of the room will determine the size of the fan. Small rooms require small or mini ceiling fans while bigger rooms require large ceiling fans. Large fans range in blade span from 62 inches to 72 inches to effectively circulate air in large spaces. These ceiling fans are available in a variety of styles and finishes with added features like customizable blades and integrated lighting. Large Minka Aire fans with lights effectively cool and illuminate vast spaces, minimizing the need for multiple fixtures. These ceiling fans are also suitable for indoor and outdoor applications.
Large ceiling fans can be used year-round for comfort and savings. During the summer time, operate the large ceiling fan in a counterclockwise direction to create cooling breeze that allows users to rely less on AC units. During the winter time, run the large fan in a clockwise direction to distribute warm air trapped at the top near the ceiling back down to the floor, which allows users to rely less on heating devices.
To decide if large ceiling fans are suitable for your home, determine the size of the room by obtaining the square footage. First, measure the width of the room with a tape measure and record the value. Then, measure the length of the room and record the value. Next, multiply the width and the length values to obtain the total square footage and record the final value. When selecting a new ceiling fan, compare the total square footage measurement obtained to the measurements provided on the packaging.

My deviantArt page is so shiny now. Finally updated my DeviantID. :3
Remake it? Do you know how much stone I used? Probably over 2000, and I'd barely even touched my main keep, nor finished the insides of half my towers, finished my wheat farm, setup my defences on the ramparts, windows/arrow holes, set up my animals or my moat was only a halfway done.
Would it be so hard for everyone to run 1000 blocks in 1 direction and suddenly you're all in unexplored territory, untouched, a completely new world, that's half the point of infinite maps.

I haven't posted much this week because we have been busy catching up from conferences and I have been working on finishing a large descendancy project. We have done several huge descendancy projects, last summer and then recently. Every time I am overwhelmed by the realization of how one life affects so many. I think most people don't realize how many descendants you can have in a few short generations--even if your family isn't very big. And we have no idea how the way we live our day to day life changes the lives of those around us.
In one project we worked on last year, which was actually on some ancestors of my own, in 7 short generations, there was an amazing amount of posterity--numbers that you can't appreciate until you try to put it out on paper. I spent a couple of weeks working on that project, and thinking about how so many people looked up to those same ancestors, and were effected by the examples they set for us. I think I get some of my overbearing nature (good when applied right), some of my sense of humor and some of my love of scholarship from that ancestor. And many other good and bad characteristics from others.
Kim and I were just talking this morning about how our parent's marriages have affected ours, for good and bad. I think there are so many things ingrained in me that I don't realize come from this ancestor or that. Our self-esteem, our world outlook, all sorts of things come from ancestors--possibly many generations up. And on the other side, you don't realize how quickly the way you use your life will affect so many descendants that come from you.
To illustrate my point, look at how many ancestors you have:
2 parents
4 grandparents
8 great-grandparents
16 great great grandparents
32 great great great grandparents
64 great great great great grandparents
128 great great great great great grandparents
256 great great great great great great grandparents
512 great great great great great great great grandparents
1024 great great great great great great great great grandparents.
2048 great great great great great great great great great grandparents.
4096 in the 13th generation
8192 in the 14th generation
16,184 in the 15th generation
32,768 in the 16th generaton
65,536 in the 17th generation
131,072 in the 18th generation
262,144 in the 19th generation
524,288 in the 20th generation
1,048,576 in the 21st generation
2,097,152 in the 22nd generation.
You can flip that upside down and, if everyone only had two children, see how many descendants you would have.
Every once in a while, we have someone call and want a blank chart for 20 generations or so. If you give each person in that last generation 1/2 inch, you can see that such a chart would be about 22,000 feet tall. You just don't realize how expansive it goes until you try to put it out on paper.

There are some good ideas in this blog on the expansiveness of family. So good luck to anyone who thinks there genealogy is all done. There are so many people and we all just need to dig in and pray that we can find that missing
connection or whatever it might be to lead us on in our quest. It is a one step at a time process but can be accomplished.

So if you have 1/2 inch for each person in the 20th generation, it actually comes out to about 4 miles long. WOW right?

Spring is in the air, but we have had a recent cold spell that has left me still craving warm, hearty winter foods! This soup recipe was recommended to me by best friend after she recently made it. After she told me that her husband declared "It was one of the best things she had ever made for dinner" I knew we had to try it!
This soup did not disappoint, and the fact that it is so easy and can be made in one pot is a huge bonus. Spicy sausage and cheesy tortellini in a warm, creamy broth with some spinach thrown in for color and nutrition. I served it with some crusty bread, and my family really enjoyed this dinner and I am sure yours will too!
A few notes about this recipe: My grocery store caries 1 pound packs of Italian sausage that contain 4 links of the sweet version and 2 links of the spicy version, I found this to be just the right amount of spice for our family. You could certainly use all spicy to increase the heat, or all sweet to tone it down a bit. Also, I love Better than Bouillon bases and use them to make broth all the time. That is what I used in this recipe, but feel free to use bouillon cubes or even chicken broth in place of the water and adjust the seasoning as needed.
One-Pot Sausage and Tortellini Soup
- 1 pound package of Italian sausage, casings removed
- 1/2 cup onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 5 cups water
- 5 teaspoons chicken base, such as Better than Bouillon Reduced Sodium (or 6 chicken bouillon cubes)
- 1 15 oz. can evaporated milk
- 20 oz. package refrigerated cheese tortellini
- 4 cups of baby spinach, roughly chopped
- Parmesan cheese, freshly grated, to taste
Crumble the sausage into a large pot or Dutch oven. Add the chopped onion and cook on medium heat until onion is soft and sausage is browned, chopping the sausage with a spatula as it cooks. Add the minced garlic and Italian seasoning and cook another 30 seconds.
Add the water, chicken base and evaporated milk. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and simmer for 10 minutes.
Add the tortellini and cook for 5 minutes. Add the baby spinach and let simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, until tortellini is tender. Portion into soup bowls and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese to taste.

Robert Clark exhibited his work in Zantman Art Galleries since the gallery began in 1959. He is best known for his magnificent realistic renditions of the rural American scene. Working in the rare and demanding medium of egg tempera has assured him his prominent place among American artists.
Born in Minnesota in 1920 he received his formal art training at the Walker Art School and the Minneapolis Institute of Art. He came to California in 1948 where he became a staff member of the Long Beach Museum of Art and later a staff artist at the Los Angeles County Museum, leaving that position to become an independent painter. He moved to a rural part of Central California to paint the rustic subjects that would become his hallmark. He has been compared to Andrew Wyeth.
His exquisitely subtle, sometimes moody, and always dramatic paintings have been sought after by prominent collectors from all over the world. Among the collectors of Clark's paintings are such notables as the late Johnny Carson, Burt Reynolds and Tom Selleck.

UPDATE, 5.30pm: More than 20 Smash EDO protesters have been arrested today after up to 150 took to the streets to demonstrate.
Click on play below to read our liveblog. Comments are pre-moderated, so there may be a delay in publication.
Click here to see a gallery of pictures from the protest.
The protest against the manufacture of bomb release mechanisms at the EDO/ITT factory in Moulsecoomb kicked off at about 10am in Wild Park.
Sussex Police set up a designated protest area by the A27, but very few of the protesters used this.
Instead, they made their own way through Wild Park, along Lewes Road and London Road and into the city centre, clashing occasionally with police.
Brighton and Hove Divisional Commander, Chief Superintendent Graham Bartlett, says: "Officers have made significant arrests this afternoon in order to prevent a further breach of the peace.
"Despite designating a highly visible site for protestors on the main road to the factory, many of them have not used it.
"Our aim today was to facilitate peaceful protest, instead many have caused disruption by failing to comply with police directions, running away through fields and woodland and being a nuisance to local people by blocking main roads in the city.
"Their disorderly behaviour has put pressure on police resources as we have needed to contain them to curb further disruption as they have blocked roads and headed towards other targets in the city.
"Injuries have been caused by protestors running around. Police medics were quickly on hand to treat one woman who ran into railings and injured her knee before an ambulance arrived."
On several occasions, officers kettled, or contained, the demonstrators. The first kettle took place at Ivy House in Wild Park early in the morning, where about 40 protesters were ordered to remove their masks before being allowed out.
Officers said they asked people to remove the masks if it was believed they were being used to conceal protesters' identities.
More kettles took place in Wild Park at about 11am, while more protesters ran into the Moulsecoomb Estate.
Early reports the factory had closed for the day proved unfounded. However, Lewes Road, Bear Road and London Road were closed at times throughout the day, with activists at one point taking barriers from nearby roadworks to obstruct Lewes Road.
The English Nationalist Alliance also came into the city centre, where leader Bill Baker said they would be drinking and taking pictures. No trouble has been reported in relation to this presence.
By 1pm, four arrests had been made, two for suspected theft after vehicle was stopped, one for having a bladed article and one for breach of peace.
Another arrest was made shortly afterwards in relation to a dispute between protesters and residents, and there were also reports of protesters fighting amongst themselves in London Road.
Shortly before 2pm, the bulk of the protest was kettled on the Lewes Road, and police then arrested those inside one by one, all for allegedly breaching the peace if they refused to give their identity.
According to independent legal advisors, about 35 people, including on of the advisors, were arrested. However, Sussex Police said the total arrests was nearer 20. All those arrested were still being held at 5pm and police said they would be released when the risk of further breach has diminished.
At 3pm, there was a small protest outside Barclays Bank in North Street, but by 4pm, despite a small presence near the factory, the protest had largely petered out.
Officers from neighbouring forces, who are the most expensive for Sussex Police to use, had already been stood down, and the force was looking to stand down more to reduce the cost of the policing operation.

This is something I've been thinking about, for a couple of weeks now.
I love reading. And whenever I get the opportunity to arc read for an author, I'm so excited about it. Every time an author reaches out to me, and ask me to review their work, I'm over the moon. But the fact of the matter is, that its very time consuming.
If we look at pages like Booksprout and Netgalley, you're not guaranteed a certain amount of time to read and review the book, before its released. To someone like me, who doesn't like to let anyone down, this can be quite stressful. I have on numerous occasions put a book I was reading aside, in order to respect the arc date. But that's not always what I want to do. Frankly, if I'm in the middle of a really interesting book, its annoying. Annoying to know that I requested the book weeks ago, but then suddenly get accepted a few days before the book is released
Disorganised as I might be, I like to maintain a certain amount of organisation. So I know what upcoming deadlines I have. That makes it easier for me to plan my time. As of right now, I have about 15 books I've received, with no due date. Plus whatever I want to read from my TBR list. So, I think that keeps me more than busy for the rest of the year.
Another fact in my decision making is, the authors I steadily work with. Yes, I've been lucky enough to find some authors, that steadily keep me on their beta and arc lists. For some of them, its been for over 6 months, for others its still relatively new. But what we share, is the wish to keep it going. To me these authors take priority. Because I love how they value my opinion, input and think about me, every time they have a new book coming out. And most importantly, because I love their words and feel honoured to be part of their journey.
The above is the logic reasons I need to do this. But honestly, I also think I really need to do it for the sake of my own sanity. As it is right now, I at times feel like I'm drowning in reading. Don't get me wrong, I love reading. And I'm so flattered every time an author reaches out to me. Probably that's part of why it's so hard for me to say no. But I really feel like I need to. Lately, I've only had 2 chilled evenings with my boyfriend, because the rest is spent reading and writing reviews.
When I started my blog, I was studying full time, which allowed me so much time to read. And I could comfortably finish 1-2 books per day. Which made it really easy to request all these books, and say yes to a lot of authors. I'm no longer in that place and yet, I kept accepting and requesting like I was. So this is all on me. It might have taken me some time to get it, but now I finally realise that I need to take a step back from the obligations. That way I'll read what I can, but without feeling guilty for not getting books and reviews finished in time.
Enough about me! How do you manage your reading load? How do you juggle your personal, social and working life with your blog? Do you ever find that you don't have enough time to finish all the arc's you've requested? Let's talk in the comments!

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Argentina is running out of wiggle room in a billion-dollar showdown over foreign debts left unpaid since the country's world-record default a decade ago, and the stakes couldn't be higher for President Cristina Fernandez.
She risks triggering another historic debt default if she doesn't agree to pay the so-called "vulture funds" she blames for much of Argentina's troubles.
Fed up with Argentina's refusal to honor its debts despite losing in appellate court, U.S. District Judge Thomas Griesa in New York said he is determined to make Argentina pay at least something to the plaintiffs.
His idea is to tap into the money Argentina already pays to other bondholders, by making banks that process the payments divert some of the money to the plaintiffs. U.S. financial institutions would become his enforcers, either helping to satisfy the judgment or "aiding and abetting" a crime.
The unprecedented idea was broadly upheld on appeal last month and Griesa tried to push the case closer to resolution late Wednesday by lifting a legal stay, and issuing an order directing Argentina to make a first round of payments into an escrow account on Dec. 15, when the country is scheduled to make payments to the other bondholders.
The idea has sent jitters through the legal departments of the most powerful financial institutions in the United States.
The U.S. Federal Reserve and the Clearing House, a trade group representing the world's largest commercial banks, warned that Griesa's remedy could have severe consequences for the backbone of the U.S. financial system, which automatically moves an average of $2.6 trillion a day in half a million transfers between more than 7,000 banks.
The Federal Reserve's legal brief, filed Sunday, said the entire system depends on transfers being "immediate, final and irrevocable" when processed. Requiring intermediaries to identify, stop and divert payments according to court orders "would impede the use of rapid electronic funds transfers in commerce by causing delays and driving up costs."
The plaintiffs dismissed the concerns, saying that the only bank at risk would be Argentina's "paying agent," the Bank of New York Mellon, which should be held responsible by the court if it doesn't guarantee compliance.
Still, the Federal Reserve's filing pleased Fernandez so much that she cited it in a speech Monday night.
"When an Argentine says something, the President of the Argentines or the economy minister, well, everyone comes out to criticize them, but now it's (Federal Reserve Chairman Ben) Bernanke talking, honey, and everyone shuts their little mouth," she said.
As with so many other things involving Argentina, these debts date back to the bloody dictatorship that ruled from 1976-1983. The military junta tripled the country's foreign debts. By 2001, the burden had become unsustainable and the economy collapsed. Argentina's $95 billion default still stands as a world record.
Sovereign debt is supposed to be paid no matter who runs a country, but Fernandez has always considered this defaulted debt to be illegitimate, forced onto the Argentines by dictators acting in concert with international financial speculators. She and her late husband and predecessor Nestor Kirchner, who took office in 2003, have never made any payments on the defaulted bonds.
Instead, they offered new bonds paying less than 30 cents for each dollar owed in default, and by 2010, 93 percent of the original bondholders agreed to the swaps. The debt relief granted by these "exchange bondholders" enabled Argentina to climb out of a deep economic crisis, and many analysts have described it as a model for Greece and other debt-burdened countries to consider.
Hold-outs led by NML Capital Ltd., an investment fund owned by U.S. billionaire Paul Singer, refused the swaps, insisting on payment in full plus interest, even though some bought the defaulted debt for pennies on the dollar after Argentina's economy collapsed. Singer's lawyers have traveled the world since then seeking to embargo Argentine assets, even getting its navy ship Libertad seized in Ghana as collateral. But they have never collected.
The judge's solution to all this is to force Argentina to pay the holdouts an equal amount each time it makes a payment to the exchange bondholders.
This prompted an outcry from a group of exchange bondholders who collectively own $20 billion in the restructured Argentine debt. They said they "already suffered tens of billions of dollars in losses," and that it's not fair to harm their already diminished returns so that a few holdouts can earn up to 200 percent on their original investments.
If allowed to stand, this kind of remedy will make it impossible for other countries to get critical debt relief, they argued.
The holdouts' response: "Those parties made a business judgment to accept assurances of prompt payment rather than being forced to litigate against the Republic around the world, as the plaintiffs have been forced to do at tremendous expense."
Argentina, meanwhile, has told the judge that its responsibility ends once it delivers the cash to the Bank of New York Mellon, which in turn pays the exchange bondholders. This bank, in turn, said it would suffer lawsuits from all sides if it did anything other than process the payments as intended.
There was no immediate indication from Argentina's government late Wednesday about how it would respond to Griesa's ruling.
The judge said he was taking the action precisely because of "inflammatory declarations" made by Argentine officials, who have vowed not to pay a cent to NML Capital Ltd.
"It is the view of the District Court that these threats of defiance cannot go by unheeded, and that action is called for," Griesa wrote.
Argentina is running out of options. Anything short of full payments could trigger holders of all sorts of Argentine bonds to demand immediate payment in full.
"In reality, what I think they're looking for is to provoke a technical default," the president said Monday night. "What's a technical default? It's when you pay, but not in the right time, or manner, or place. For example, you don't pay in New York so that they don't seize the money."
The exchange bondholders warned that if this happens, "the injunction will have turned a relatively minor default into a cataclysmic default that will further unsettle the already fragile global economy."
Fernandez sought to calm matters, noting that Argentina has $45.3 billion in reserves and a much lighter debt burden than it did years ago.
But if Argentina pays the plaintiffs the $1.43 billion they are demanding, Moody's Investors Service said it could set a legal precedent for other holdouts who together claim nearly $12 billion in unpaid debts.
A default, meanwhile, could put more pressure on an economy already suffering from capital flight and dangerously high inflation. Argentine debt is already rated by Moody's as junk, so the government has few other places to turn for financing.
The holdouts blamed all this "emergency litigation and anxiety" on Argentina's "unrelenting bad faith," and predicted that if it is finally given no other alternative, it will submit to the courts' will.
"There is no reason to believe — and common sense rejects — the notion that Argentina would harm its reputation and credit, and unnecessarily allow tens of billions of dollars of debt to accelerate, simply to avoid paying the plaintiffs $1.43 billion," they said.
