Exceptionally Useful
Lately I've really been into practical things. A sign of adulthood? I'm inclined to say yes, as I begin to discard my impulsive spending habit. That said, practical things need not be boring, or ugly, or have absolutely no design to speak of. Here's a peek of what I've been lusting for lately!
This cute portable cutlery set has been perfect for office use! It's made of plastic that's easy to wash and the parts are detachable and simple to assemble together, even for a klutz like me (: I've got the set in pink! yay
This anti-shoe pad is great for those pretty cheap shoes that have absolutely no friction whatsoever, especially on rainy days. Trust me, it isn't so glamourous when one is slipping and sliding on smooth tiles. haha. These pads don't even fall off in the rain! They last for up to 6 months for me, but hey, I don't walk alot in my heels, not really.
If you're the type who takes many short trips and you want to travel light, these portable contact lens cases are the perfect solution. Containing a contacts lens case with a tiny bottle to carry 1-2 days worth of solution, it's a far lighter and more convenient than looking for those small-sized contact lens solution bottles :)
So these were my practical shopping indulgences over the past weekend! What practical things have you added to your life lately?
Tory Burch Pre-Fall Collection 2011
Whilst browsing through Pre-Fall Collections on Style.com, Tory Burch's collection caught my eye. Not only was the entire collection truly wearable, but I also loved the entire concept of "a little Parisian chic" that Tory Burch quoted as her inspiration for this collection. The neutral palette of ivory, bone, taupe, navy and some mint green isn't flashy, and made the complicated patterns more wearable as the colours were more muted.
I absolutely adore the floaty material of the dresses, and find it quite intriguing how she paired striped tops with patterned clothing. Certainly, using striped tops accentuates the edges of the patterned clothing quite distinctively, it's an interesting concept to try out. I'm also leaning towards the 3/4 sleeve length, though I generally think it's quite an awkward length for sleeves, perhaps I'll try out tops with either more fitted/banded/elastic cuffs, as shown above.
One thing that caught my eye was the cute mini satchel that accompanied 4 of these looks. I've always sworn by my trusty tote bags, but then again, it's not like I carry around a load of stuff. I just find that it suits my style more? However, seeing that more and more designers are launching mini sized versions of their bags, added on with how adorable they look with the looks here, I'm thinking of getting a mini satchel myself

The one I'm particularly in love with from above is Dorothy Perkins' Navy Croc Mini Satchel. I have got to look for it at local stores! I'll admit it's quite a rip off from Proenza Schouler's PS1, but hey for 25 GBP (est $60 SGD) I think it's definitely worth the $$, especially since I like the textured print. Hopefully it'll feel as good as it looks if I find it in local stores.
Not Everyone Needs to Dress Up as Santa Claus!
Each year, my family hosts a huge Christmas party for our extended family, and we always try to dress up for the Christmas Spirit! That said, for an in-house function, nobody really has gone all out with the Christmas costumes, but it never hurts to celebrate the Christmas spirit with by dressing up to its iconic red and green theme each year
see featured products here
If you're in the mood to spice it up even more with the Christmas Spirit, or feel that you're clothes just aren't Christmassy enough, dig around and look for accessories to match! One year, a friend took a Santa Teddy Bear and pinned it onto her bag, it was brilliant! Using a few old Christmas ornaments in your outfit won't hurt either! They're not doing much on the Christmas tree, are they?

Have a Great Christmas!
Neon Technicolour
As seen on Karl Lagerfeld's runway this season (Fendi Spring 2011), Neon Technicolour lips are in at the moment
With hot shades such as pink, coral and orange, neon lips draw attention to the shape and sexiness of the lips, so a more natural look is advised when worn with this makeup trend. For the Fendi 2011 Spring runway, makeup artist Peter Phillips created this look by drawing out the shape of the lip "with a strong pink, orange or coral – basic shades you can easily find". He also mixed lip colours to create the vivid shades you see above on the models. Most of the lipsticks he used were matte, but he didn't hesitate to use a touch of luminizer in the middle of the lips and the cupid's bow for highlighting purposes (see lips above). For the face, he used a luminizer to create that illusion of an "inner glow" to match the bright lip colour. I'm quite a fan using luminizers to give that subtle shimmer & glow. It's quite surprising how much more awake & healthy one seems just with a touch of extra shimmer. It does however, take some practice – when I first used luminizers, I ended up using too much & became quite sparkly.
collages courtesy of polyvore – click on images for details of featured products
As a simple guideline, for liquid/semi liquid luminizers, the appropriate amount for the entire face would be a pea-sized amount on the finger. Mix it with your foundation before applying it all over the face for an even glow. It is advisable to use a neutral colour shimmer instead of a shimmer with a bold colour, e.g. brown or dark pink. peach, or light pink colours are advised because they look more natural & light colours also accentuate the highlights of your face. For powder luminizers, apply foundation & lightly dab the shimmer with the provided sponge, before using a brush to apply your setting/finishing powder/blush/bronzer. The brush will also help to further spread out the luminizer.
On the Fendi runway, these neon lips look like they could go with any outfit. I absolutely love how they've each been paired with a plain yet bright coloured sandal

It definitely brings a fresh, floral vibe to the collection. In fact, my first thought when I saw the first few pictures of the runway was, hey! it's easy, breezy, beautiful! Haha well, Covergirl wasn't their sponsor, but the loose fitting (yet well cut) clothes cling and float away from the models beautifully.
Will you be trying out this runway look for your daily wear? Fashion blogger Taylor from SterlingStyle loves rockin' the bright-lipped look on a daily basis.

Tips to rock this look:
- Neutral colours for face, with a luminizer for that "inner glow"
- Matte lip colours
- Add a dab of luminizer/lipgloss on the cupid's bow and centre of the lower lip to highlight
- use a lip pencil prior to lipstick application for defined lips
- experiment with lip colours!
- accessorize with your lip colour for an extra oomph to that outfit (with my love for neon, bright nails, i'm definitely going on a hunt for a bright lip colour to match my nail polish shades!)
Never Hide. Ray-Ban.
Never pretend. Never be afraid. Never give up. Never hide
Ray-Ban's slogan for its Never Hide Campaign
Even though Ray-Ban's Never Hide Campaign has been going on since 2009, I wasn't that interested until I saw its latest advertisements in local optometrist stores over the weekend, & decided to check it out. The wonders of Google.
With an interesting and varied collection of artists, Ray-Ban has come up with a very colourful and eye-catching campaign, to attract the young consumers dominating the market in today's world. & as we know, I'm extremely attracted to items with a creative medley of colours, so these advertisements caught my attention effortlessly.
I was particularly appreciative of the concept behind their entire marketing campaign, "The courage to express your true self – your thoughts and your personality genuinely – and staying faithful to the values of authenticity and uniqueness" , one that I fully agree with. & upon visiting their website, I was both amused & impressed by videos submitted by the public for this campaign. My favourite? Super Chameleon!
You can check out more videos here
FYI, the video showcased is NOT animal cruelty. Chameleons change colours almost reflexively – just as how one does not think of how to command each singular muscle to move so that one step can be taken, a chameleon easily processes a colour change within several milliseconds. Chameleons colour-change to adapt to their environment & engage in mating
A Matter of Taste
What happens when you combine food with fashion? Well, photographer Fulvio Bonavia has a delectable answer. In his book, A Matter of Taste, he featured the theme, "Food as Fashion," crafting gorgeous accessories out of REAL food. These are some of my favourite designs:
They look good enough to eat don't they? I love the gumdrop bangle. It is so colourful, chic and totally wearable while the cashew sandals and the anchovy belt have gotta be the most creative pieces of fashion/art I have ever seen. I'm curious though about whether these things are sturdy enough. I'm pretty sure the cashew sandals will fall apart if someone steps on them and sadly, the gumdrop bangle will attract ants but it's an interesting concept nonetheless. So much for "you should never play with your food". I'm sure glad that Bonavia did!

Inspired by Sheena when I first blogged about her here, I decided to go accessories hunting at Forever21, one of my go-to favourites for bargain deals on accessories. I can't wait to match some of these with that little black dress I have in my closet (:

Fashion Fridays
This week on I'm obsessed with the indie-vintage store known as Modcloth. For an independent label, it is perhaps slightly on the pricey side when compared to mass market labels such as Forever21. However, it's definitely oogle-worthy for style inspirations and maybe, a splurge or two.
I pick my favourites from the store after the jump!

Confessions of a 20-something cattle rancher
Seven months ago, I was your average college senior. It was early January, and I was returning to school from the winter break, counting down the days until graduation. After six years of college and four different majors I had finally settled on agriculture, economics, and business and, boy, was I ready to high-tail it out of there. I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to do,, but I had in mind a marketing job for a big agriculture firm in a different and bigger city. I had my hopes on moving to a new place and settling into the 9 to 5 Monday-Friday job thing. But that's not what ended up happening.
A few months before graduation, I was having the typical catch-up lunch with my mom. We were discussing what my plan was after graduation, as we had been more and more lately. I started throwing out ideas of things I thought I would enjoy, and though the top of my list included being a stay-at-home daughter, a backpacker in Greece, or starting my own vineyards, I threw out one more option: buying cows of my own and starting a business. My mom paid attention to that. "Why not?" she asked me.
My father, having grown up on the ranch, was a bit more skeptical. My family has been in the cattle-ranching business for a long, long time. In October, 2011, drought conditions at the ranch were so bad that my great-uncle and grandfather made the tough decision to sell off all their cattle after 100 years of building the herd. So I knew that in order to impress him, I needed to make a plan, set some realistic goals, and then present them to him. So, with my mom's help, I came up with my first business plan. Beyond nervous, I went over to their house that evening and presented what I had to him.
Fast forward to this May. It was a week until graduation and I hadn't been able to purchase my calves yet because the price was so high. But on the Wednesday before graduation, I got a text that I was now an owner of a dozen 470 lb. steers. Graduation ceremonies on Friday and Saturday went by so quickly, and sooner than I knew it, my family and I were packed up and ready to hit the road. I also had gotten a few bags of feed, mineral blocks, and salt blocks as graduation presents the night before. (The best/funniest/weirdest/most perfect graduation presents ever).
Four hundred fifty miles later, we were waiting at the branding pens. I felt like a kid on Christmas morning. You can see for miles and miles at the ranch, and I was eagerly watching for dust from the trailer that was hauling the steer out to drop them off. As they pulled up I froze. My dad, of course, snapped me right back out of it, with a quick yell to hurry it up and start branding the cattle before the rainstorm hit. These steers are angry and scared as heck and are pretty big boys as well, not the 200 lb. calves my dad and I are used to branding. We got them branded and corralled in the right pins just as some of the big drops started falling. All was good and we were ready for some well-deserved pizza and a celebratory beer. That 20-mile drive back to town was the fullest my heart had been in a long time. I got my diploma, my calves and my family. What more could a girl ask for?!
Today, three months later, and I can think of one thing I might want: a paycheck. You see, in the cattle industry your paycheck comes once a year. For me, because my project is only six months, that means I get a paycheck once in six months. In the past three months I have been going back and forth from my cattle to my family's ranch, 450 miles north.
Since deciding to start my own business buy and selling calves I have gotten a very wide variety of responses from people. I've encountered people who have chuckled at me because I am too young, and they think it's a phase I am going through. But most importantly, I've gotten to know people who have saluted me for following my dreams and being a part of something way bigger than just myself. Being a part of the agriculture community is something truly amazing.
While I have these steers for the next three months, they need to gain up to 300 pounds a piece. I think of them as 12 of the most important men in my life. Even though 12 steers doesn't sound like a lot, it sure is. While it is scary and exciting all wrapped together, it's also an incredibly experience. And I think it goes to show: This world is full of opportunity. Go and find yours!

When Your Mastiff Makes Potty Mistakes
|Feed your Mastiff puppy small meals a couple of times a day in lieu of one large meal per day. Also, avoid switching foods frequently as this may cause intestinal upset. Mastiff Dogs usually are very good with kids to make good household pets. They could be stricter to pets but therefore they are competing on your attention. If you plan to purchase a Mastiff anytime in the near future, make sure to check if your property owners insurance will cover the breed.
If you wish to have a Mastiff in your home, you have to prepare beforehand and be able to devote effort and time to making the Dog comfortable in the transitional period. Before you start looking through the classifieds for Mastiffs Puppies to purchase try visiting a few of local Dog shows obtainable in your area. An excellent breeder will also be available for you to get hold of in the future, degrees of training any questions or problems with regards to your Mastiff. The Mastiff will be the kind of Dog you like if you believe that size matters. But prior to up your mind about adopting a Mastiff, you should be committed to make it go through a training process since it will surely bring you trouble unless you teach it to behave well.
http://mastiffmaster.com/bullmastiff-breeders-dont-get-scammed-know-breeder/ have been abandoned at dog shelters, simply for the sole purpose in the Dog making potty mistakes in the wrong places, instead of being properly trained. You can makes it properly fed and nurtured. You can be sure that all the best medications age given from birth, including heartworm medicine. Some Dogs in care could have other issues or are already badly treated though the rescue center will probably be able to fill you in for the Mastiff's story and circumstances. Mastiffs possess a couple health concerns that come with like a Mastiff. For instance for their enormous body, hip dysplasia is one of the problems.
Start acclimating you Mastiff to some Kennel as fast as possible, ideally at about 6 months. Puppies are just like humans in that these are much more adaptable when they're young. Feed your Mastiff puppy small meals a couple of times a day as opposed to one large meal per day. Also, avoid switching foods frequently as this may cause intestinal upset. A helpful suggestion would be to take the Mastiff in 3 to 4 times for play visits, then to look at them once or twice for any night stay so they really know you is going to be returning whenever you leave them on your trip. For Dogs of giant stature, early socialization is fully necessary. All Puppies take advantage of early socialization, but giant breeds like the Mastiffs require early interactions.
Sometimes a Dog is placed in a rescue location since the owner finds that the guy can no longer give a home for his Mastiff pet. Males are more proof against training than females and will try and get the upper hand over their masters. Females can be defiant but, as a whole, are easier to train. They are very well suited to be a family protector or a house pet. One from the first things to look for in obtaining a good Kennel will be the size of their Kennels. You will find that each Kennel has different capacities. The blue Mastiff is among those Dogs that truly need being socialized during their puppy stages. They are born naturally cautious about others, as this can be a trait that accompany those that are naturally protective of the families.

How do people get infected with H. pylori?
1 Answer
- 3 weeks ago
It is still not clear exactly how H. pylori infection spreads. The bacteria have coexisted with humans for many centuries. H. pylori infections are thought to spread from one person's mouth to another. They may also be transferred from feces to the mouth. This can happen when a person does not wash his hands thoroughly after going to the washroom. H. pylori can also spread through contact with contaminated food and water. Therefore, it is also considered a waterborne disease. (Xembran® is a natural medication helps to eradicate H. pylori and other pathogenic bacteria.)

Obama Apologizes For "Wasted" Lives Remark
Illinois Sen. Barack Obama repeated his apologies for an offhand remark that the lives of U.S. troops killed in Iraq were "wasted."
At an appearance in Iowa on Sunday, the Democratic presidential candidate told listeners: "We now have spent $400 billion and have seen over 3,000 lives of the bravest young Americans wasted."
He immediately apologized on Sunday, saying the remark was "a slip of the tongue."
During an appearance Monday in Nashua, he apologized again, telling reporters he meant to criticize civilian leadership of the war, not those serving in the military.
"Even as I said it, I realized I had misspoken," Obama said. "It is not at all what I intended to say, and I would absolutely apologize if any (military families that) felt that in some ways it had diminished the enormous courage and sacrifice that they'd shown."
Obama made his second visit to New Hampshire on Monday, following a weekend announcement speech in his home state and a visit to the first-caucus state, Iowa. His appearances have come with packed audiences, enthusiastic crowds — and, until the controversy over his remarks emerged, scant scrutiny.
Obama came to New Hampshire on the heels of New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. She faced criticism last weekend for not saying her vote to authorize the use of force in Iraq was a mistake.
Obama, by contrast, faced little of that skepticism. Even his sharpest questioners began by offering praise and support.
"He hasn't gotten into specifics, but that'll come," state Rep. Jeffrey Fontas said after a Nashua house party with 60 activists. "It's early, so we'll see more and more."
That house party in Nashua brought questions about:
Even while the first-term senator from Illinois didn't have specific solutions, voters in this first-in-the-nation primary state gave him a pass.
"He takes time, he answers fully," said state Rep. Melanie Levesque. "I think we need people who can bring people together. He can do that. We're going to have a tough decision to make."
Obama called for a national solution to health care but stopped short of endorsing or rejecting proposals for mandatory insurance. He said more young people should consider teaching but stopped short of specific incentives.
60 Minutes: Steve Kroft Interviews Barack Obama
Later Monday, at the University of New Hampshire in Durham, Obama discussed Iraq.
"Unless we bring that war to a close, we cannot deal with all those other problems I just mentioned," he said. "Not only has it resulted in the tragic loss in our brave soldiers, but it means we're spending $400 billion rebuilding Iraq with money that could have been used here."
Obama did outline an energy plan — a reduction in emissions, cap-and-trade plans for polluting industries, and development of biofuels including ethanol. He also repeated his stance on gay marriage — that civil unions are fine, but marriage is a religious bond.
"I believe that every American has basic rights that have to be respected," said Obama, who noted that his parents perhaps broke the law when they entered into a biracial marriage in the 1960s.
A member of the university audience asked about his appeal to social conservatives. Obama said one of the best lessons he learned in politics was that he couldn't make 100 percent of voters happy. He then noted his friendship with the Rev. Rick Warren, who leads one of the nation's largest megachurches.

According to a new study from PR agency Bospar, 95 per cent of Americans are 'troubled' by the state of the media. The survey covered 1,010 American adults. 53 per cent cited 'reports on fake news', 49 per cent cited 'reporting gossip', and 48 per cent cited 'lying spokespeople', as the key causes. 67 per cent believe ethics in journalism will be worse during the 2020 presidential campaign.
Good people are waking up
Journalism more or less died with Cronkite though to be fair some local news journalists aren't bad.

Announcing a Brand New Service
The basic concept of sharing sermons with the public has been with us for centuries. Books and pamphlets have been published and re-published, filled to the brim with sermons and editorials. Although this tradition is still alive and well, there is a newer, more dynamic contender: audio. Sermon tapes are nothing new, and have been enjoyed by many people, but how would people react if these messages of instruction were available on the internet, for all to see? The answer to that question is what 40+ area churches are trying to find out. By posting their sermons online, the message of the gospel has a potentially unlimited reach.
And yet, it does no one any good if no they don't know where to find these free audio sermons. That's where we come in.
After teasing about this new directory for a couple weeks over at our twin Institute, Epsilon, we've launched the Grand Rapids Online Sermon Directory, a free listing of Grand Rapids-area churches that stream audio of their sermons online. It's still in it's infancy, with Grand Rapids proper having the most links, and surrounding cities having either no links, or very few. And despite that, we were able to launch with 45 links to area churches.
Much like a community listing in a newspaper, we don't discriminate based on denomination. It's not our duty to deny the Word of God to anyone, from anywhere. A denomination that one person sees as "proper" may give bad speeches, while a "improper" church may give a more meaningful sermon. It is up to the individual to chose which church he or she enjoys. We are not going to make that decision for them. Anything less, and this would not be a public service.
And this directory is a service, and we hope that people find it useful. Whether you're moving into the area and want to hear some of the churches in the area, of if you're looking for a new church home, or if you're at home or work and want to hear a sermon, we hope you'll use the Grand Rapids Online Sermon Directory.
The internet has a virtually unlimited reach. And by sharing these sermons online, these churches hope to spread the word of God and his message of salvation to everyone who has a willing ear, or a hungry heart.

Funny dating question
23-Apr-2019 12:27
What you might consider is that Revelation IS John's Olivet Discourse.
And that this is why they match in content and timing.
At the end of the letter, none other than Jesus Himself confirms that He is coming SOON – to THEM!
This timing perfectly aligns with Jesus' parallel teachings in his landmark Olivet Discourse by Matthew, Mark and Luke about how Jerusalem would be destroyed before the end of his generation.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was not amused with an especially inflammatory question that came his way in his latest press conference ahead of Tuesday night's Champions League clash against Slovenian side Maribor.
Klopp bemoaned the negative tactics deployed by Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho in last Saturday's 0-0 draw at Anfield and was quick to suggest such defensive tactics would not be acceptable if they were being used by a Liverpool manager.
It says nothing about a delay in timing or a change in intended audience. It is the result of a misunderstanding about when or why it was written and how it was fulfilled to its original audience. Reed (eds.), Heavenly Realms and Earthly Realities in Late Antique Religions (Cambridge: 2004): 123-41.
"We are in a moment when we have to remind ourselves that it was a good performance because the result doesn't show it. "We need to be confident, brave and concentrated against a good football playing team. They are creative and we need to be ready for this battle.

Instead, I told him I had an aide who wheeled me up tothe'KFC' counter daily for my daily dose of fried chicken. I stunned him for a moment he said. Ten years later, he had been back online, likely because no one managed to meet his expectations of that a girl should be to him.
You need to focus on the individual you are speaking with by online dating jokes and asking inquiries to know him /her a whole lot better instead of excavating up the past. You really did not sign up with a dating website to hook up with your ex once more.
How you handle them would be the most important thing. They don't have to be a fire in which the whole home gets burnt to the ground, for example, yard. Try to consider misunderstandings as a candle which you attempt to dismiss out and with little work.
After a couple of dates and many phone conversations, they began getting involved with the church's singles' ministry and functioned together each week on the leadership group.

Four. . . ) . I really like partner dancing. There are lots of variations to every step and many different dance steps. A tempo is required by steps.

To fall in the trap? It's crucial to remember- that the objective of any scammer is to receive material benefits, and temporary cohabitation with a guy or sexual relations is a bonus to other values, jewelry, and money. Typically, these women are beginning to active and immediately begin to hint in the material side- they need money for a few issues that are emerging.

Date nights should never drop off the schedule, and to make it real in his mind, shouldn't we make it clear he is not getting lucky at the evening's conclusion unless he has earned it? Of course, to make this job, we need to be sure the" date" is real for him. When it's just a different way of saying, " Take me to dinner once weekly, " that is probably not enough to change a mutually handy Male back to some Highly Useful Male.

Integrated sensing and delivery of oxygen for next-generation smart wound dressings
May 26, 2020
Chronic wounds affect over 6.5 million Americans and are notoriously difficult to treat. Suboptimal oxygenation of the wound bed is one of the most critical and treatable wound management factors, but existing oxygenation systems do not enable concurrent measurement and delivery of oxygen in a convenient wearable platform. Thus, we developed a low-cost alternative for continuous O2 delivery and sensing comprising of an inexpensive, paper-based, biocompatible, flexible platform for locally generating and measuring oxygen in a wound region.
Observing the path less traveled boosts quantum gain
May 18, 2020
When probing the subtle effects of quantum mechanics, all the parameters in the system and its measurements need to be finely tuned to observe the result you are hoping for. So what happens when you gear everything towards detecting what you least expect? Researchers at MIT and Purdue University in the U.S. took just this approach and found they could amplify quantum signals by a factor of 30 while conditionally changing the relative phase of a photon from π/80 to π/2. The results could provide the missing link that nudges a number of quantum network technologies closer to practical use.

CDN Caching and Video Streaming Performance
February 12, 2020
To what extent do CDN caches deep inside the ISP or the operator network also improve QoE? Does it suffice to simply deploy the CDN appliance just past the peering point?

"The name for this architecture for network security really defines its significant attributes," said Aly El Gamal, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering in Purdue's College of Engineering.
Researchers use drone-mounted microphones to suss out the shapes of rooms
February 6, 2020
Can a drone determine the shape of a room using microphones alone? That's what Purdue University researchers set out to discover in a study that will be published next week in the SIAM Journal on Applied Algebra and Geometry. In it, they propose a drone-mounted microphone array that measures sound emitted by a loudspeaker to inform a digital reconstruction of the physical surroundings.

The first song on this final Podcast of the Gratitude, Grit, and Grace Concert is called "I'm Home." "Home" has been described in many different ways. It is "where the heart is." It is that place where people have to take you in. It was something to step off the stage at Benaroya Hall after this concert and have faith that I was finally home. I KNEW it. I may never be able to explain exactly what it means. I was finally at home with myself. It's a good feeling. "There You Were" is an attempt to connect the journey to the many who played a role and the special few who played defining roles. Thank you. "Let Love Go Forward" was written for my wedding years ago. It has become an anthem of sorts as well as a wish and a sort of benediction.

Vice President Mike Pence, who has been routinely criticized for his faith, said he handles such attacks by praying for his critics—which garnered him a few more.
"No. 1 is, spend more time on your knees than on the internet," Pence said during an Aug. 6 Q & A session with Michael Farris, president and CEO of Alliance Defending Freedom. The gathering included ADF staff.
The vice president went on to talk about the power of forgiveness.
"As a Christian believer, we're charged to pray for our loved ones but also pray for our enemies," Pence said.
"You have lots of opportunities in politics to do that," he said. "But I would say that forgiveness is a great gift, and my wife and I literally try to work through forgiving people who might speak woefully against us or might mischaracterize who we are and what our family's all about," he said.
Not long after the conversation with ADF, Twitter users began mocking Pence's comment on prayer, some twisting the intent of spending "more time on your knees." Comments quickly turned sexual, including an obscene cartoon of Pence with President Trump, and a retort by Monica Lewinsky, the intern who had an affair with President Bill Clinton while he was in office. Others made reference to the NFL players' protest of taking a knee during the national anthem.
Author Sasha Strachan used the NFL controversy as a backdrop to challenge Pence's faith and call the president racist.
Another user, calling himself the Tattooed Theologian, also took a swipe at Pence's faith and integrity, saying: "On your knees…That sounds pretty authoritarian to me. I don't have to be on my knees to pray.
"@VP should spend some time reading the #Gospels. If he did, he wouldn't be supporting @realDonaldTrump."
Comedian and atheist Paula Poundstone dismissed praying outright saying, "I will spend no time on my knees."
During his conversation with ADF, Pence said that when he's in the midst of criticism he tries "just focusing on the cause."

And I ride and I ride
5.45am, I was in Seattle driving down interstate 5 towards the airport, thinking to myself, "well robin, something's going to happen today. I can't imagine having to take a trip from Seattle to Lima, with all my equipment and it going smoothly to the plan laid out before me on my little printout from American Airlines, can I?". You see, I've become a sort of realist and realize that my serenity depends on breaking down a travel day, in fact any day, into small bite sized morsels and, not only accepting them for what they are but enjoying them as well.
For I have come to believe that this is living.
Also it has saved the lives of a few airline employees and fellow passengers.
That morning, I knew, instinctively, that the day will be tiring and unpredictable. I wasn't to be disappointed. I dropped off my car at the rental return, struggled with my two shinny new samsonites, just bought to replace the two that the TSA destroyed on my way into the United States (locks broken off, even although they were left unlocked unlocked, rendering them impossible to close). All was well, except that there were about 400 people in front of me in the line for the security check, which took an hour to clear, thus relieving me of my only chance of a cup of coffee and breakfast. However, with all that time to ponder upon a solution to the security issue, I finally realized that the war on terrorism has been lost. The bad guys won. The simple fact is that travelling around the US has become so fucked up that it's become all but impossible to get anywhere on time, make connections and have your luggage arrive. I mean I could be wrong but have any of the bad guys ever been caught at a security checkpoint. Even Richard Reid, that fool with the bomb in his shoes didn't get stopped by security. No, as far as I can see, all this extra security is just to keep ordinary folks fearful. I mean, I have to say, that after removing my shoes, having my laptop chemically tested and my nipple rings setting the beeper thingy off, three times the same day, I felt ever so much safer. I mean if the security folks could save me from doing really stupid things to myself, I'd feel safer, but generally speaking all they do is bully people with their petty rules. Oh, and while I'm at it, wouldn't it be safer to take someone's luggage off the fucking plane if they don't show up for the flight. Like when my luggage arrived the day before I did in Seattle when I missed my connection due to increased security measures. I mean, the person who makes up these security rules must be a stupid as pig dribble.
Anyway, back to my little histoire.
I catch my flight, Seattle to New York, scheduled to be five and a half hours, and settle myself into my window seat and gently sob myself to sleep worrying about the plight of western civilization and what they do with all the toenail clippers that they confiscate. I was awoken a little while later by a little old lady sitting next to me and her wheelchair bound husband who was occupying the aisle seat. Yes, that's right the wheelchair guy has the aisle seat. Well, looks like I'm not going anywhere quickly, does it. I nod off again, vaguely aware that breakfast, well a little pathetic bread roll and a polystyrene cup of pissy brown water, was being served. I opened my eyes and was told rather abruptly by a, somewhat less than agreeable, flight attendant that there was none left for me, and if I hadn't been sleeping I'd have got one. So I went for the glass of water option and felt a twinge of sympathy for the bad guys who bring planes down. I drifted in and out of sleep for a couple of hours and when I awoke the little old lady informed me that we were in a holding pattern, due to inclement weather in the New York area. I picked a book out of my bag and started to read, while we circled around Cleveland for a while, and it was then she started to pray and then took the opportunity to ask me, completely out of the blue, if I had ever considered converting to the Mormon faith. You see, little old lady and her husband were from Salt Lake City and were believers and perhaps, young man, it would do you some good to stop reading books like that and start to read something full of goodness like the book of Mormon. She must have been looking at my book as I was reading. As it was 'Blood Meridian' by Cormac Macarthy, I guessed it was something not exactly on Brother Brigham's recommended reading list. Now, I have to say, I am quite respectful of little old ladies and, while the deep rich prose, describing violence in an almost goyaesque fashion, of 'Blood Meridian' wasn't something that she felt comfortable being near, I opted to put it away and read my only other book, but 'Body Dump' by James Ellroy didn't pass the test either so I opted for the Sky Mall magazine and wondered over all the marvelous crappy inventions that I so often almost buy but thankfully don't, and tried to find the one which was in the poorest taste. I was stuck between the 'little dog steps', a small staircase designed to help your dog be able to get into bed with you, which, frankly, is dis-gus-ting, and the 'shoe warehouse' which is a rack for storing a hundred pairs of shoes.
Like, isn't that just a tad excessive? I mean I have, maybe three pairs of shoes.
Ah, maybe it's for girls. Just a thought.
After circling Cleveland for an hour and a half, the pilot told us over the PA that we were running out of gas and would have to make an accelerated descent into Detroit at which point the plane dropped like a fucking stone and we were on the ground within ten minutes. Now to be in Detroit wasn't exactly on the plan. Detroit hurts me. But, what the hell, maybe I could get a connection to Miami and on to Lima from there, my connection at New York already being missed, but instead of arriving at the terminal to deplane we got refueled at a distant corner of the airport and stood on a taxiway for the next three hours. Now, remember the snack I missed? We weren't offered anything else to eat as there was nothing on the plane. Now we've been on the plane seven hours. I got another glass of water. I wanted to get up and stretch my legs but mr fucking wheelchair, whose name, by now, I had decided was Norman; Norman the Mormon, couldn't get up so I sat and listened to why I should visit Salt Lake and go hang out at Temple Square. Now, anyone who read my account of flying with the really hip high tech rabbi recently should understand that I was very impressed that when he prayed for the flight to be safe and arrive on time, it actually was and did. Not so with Norm and his wife. Make your own conclusions.
We finally arrived in New York eleven hours after leaving Seattle. I'd been in my seat the whole flight and had two plastic cups of water. I'd missed my flight to Miami by five hours and had to spend the night in New York, sans luggage, which was checked through to Lima.
The airline gave me a toothbrush.
Next morning I got a Flight to Miami where I met Andrew Prinz who was there with Ana and her boyfriend Lloyd and Scott from Love Lies Crushing, who had also missed their flight the night before due to the same weather problems which affected me and gone through a similar scenario. We all took the flight to Lima, which, of course, was delayed and arrived seven hours later. My luggage didn't make it.
The airline gave me another toothbrush.

Overhead Porch Light Fixtures – Maybe you have wondered surrounding your porch, patio or deck? Just think how fine it is not to have to hose off your garden furniture or sweep your deck every time you wanted to sit out and relax. There are screen porch windows on the market that let you turn your porch, patio or deck into a 3 season room without having to re-do all of your framings. All you will need are the openings and you can have customized display windows made.
Enjoy breezes? Unlike conventional double-hung windows that only open half way, you will find 4-track display porch windows that open 75 percent of the way. Wonderful for breezes and enjoying the view. What's so neat about these porch display windows is that they are made from a transparent vinyl rather than glass. So there's absolutely no issue with glass breaking or shattering. And they even come in many tints for guarding your porch from the sun. In case you have any DIY experience, then you can install these screen porch panels yourself.

Or you can hire a builder to do the same. But in any event, a remedy like screened porch panels could be much less expensive than having a conventional room inclusion or custom built porch constructed. When closed, you are protected from the rain and snow. And needless to say, you stay dry and warmer.

choices: A room addition, a screened porch kit or display porch dividers which are flexible to meet your requirements. Each includes its own virtue. Each permits you to enjoy your porch, patio or deck to the maximum. So only imagine relaxing and enjoying your porch all year round. No longer getting chased inside by bugs.
No longer having to go inside when it rains. When it becomes cool outside, simply close your display panels and keep enjoying your porch weeks longer. How about using a picnic or night meal in your porch? Ever get chased inside because of the bugs or the rain? Enclosing your porch can turn that space into a wonderful harbor that you can enjoy any year round. You don't have to sacrifice the opinion or the breezes either.
