I would like to try this again but first can I just let you know that I am an atheist who is trying to understand the religious point of view. This is not the same thing agreeing with them but I truly am trying to see it from their angle. I want to step into their shoes and I want to feel it the way they feel it and in that way, hopefully try to solve problems with them instead of against them. This is empathy. This is peace.
About the name I use - Evangelia is my Mothers name and the English version of that is Angela. It makes me happy to see my mothers name. David is a biblical name to but that doesnt mean people named David are religious.
When you ASSUME you make an ASS out of U and ME
@ Diane - I am referring to those self appointed leaders and teachers. People like those in the two blue links at the end. Those that assume they have authority over people's minds and lives because of how they read their bronze aged books. I have absolutely no problem with "ordinary" Theists. I have zero tolerance for the hierarchies of any religion. I don't really distinguish between them if they are waving a book about to command respect or obedience. An Imam last week ordered a 14 year old girl to get 100 lashes for allowing herself to be raped by a grown man. She died. He is a murderer. Will Pope Frank permit his flock in Africa to use condoms to prevent the spread of AIDS? Catholics think AIDS is bad but using condoms is worse. But even Ken Ham and his anti-evolution teachings that fill young minds with BS in the name of his version of Christianity or other pond life like him are repulsive to me and I believe they are bad for mankind. They do nothing to advance us as people. Like Hitchens said once (sorry no reference so paraphrasing) "I am your enemy – I don't expect or want you to love me – I am intent on shutting you down."
It may sound grandiose on my part but I am a full time Atheist. I can and often do, do this all day. I have helped to de-convert a lot of different cult members, even Catholics (I am Irish so it's an insider job!!) I am only interested in helping people to get free of the shackles – which they often don't realise they have – and allowing them to become Free Thinkers. I am doing this for over 30 years and I still love the individual person but I am full of "rage against the machine". I will be the full force in your face Atheist who wants to FUBAR your chucrh and I make no apologies for it. I want it gone. So I will do my part like thousands of others to see it happen. No, I am not angry. My energy is not wasted on that.
Rage on, man! I am not in a position to be a full-time atheist, but I am in my heart.
@Robert – the issue is not that gay people want a religious marriage. They want to be allowed a civil marriage that gives them the same RIGHTS as other members of society. In some countries a partner of (say) 20 years has no inheritance rights or cannot visit a dying partner in hospital because he or she is not considered to be "family". The laws that prevent this were all written by Catholics and it is proving difficult to change because of the resistance they put up which is also funded by the church.
How dare they assume they have any political authority! What makes it worse are the morally weak politicians that put up with this because of their Catholic conscience. That is they too are homophobic. Anyway the point is that they are not looking for equality because they are gay. They are looking for equality because it is their human right to have it like everyone else does.
The Catholic Church is always and has always meddled in civil affairs. It is constantly making global pronouncements. On whose authority is it allowed to dictate what the law of the land should be? If Catholics don't want gay marriage then they don't have to get married. For anyone else that is not a Catholic it should be none of their business.
For the record and not that it makes any difference I am not gay but I don't really see it as just a "gay rights" issue. It concerns human rights. If is was not for the Catholic Church(and others) there would be no debate. The debate only arises because of the Churches stance on homosexuality over the centuries. They alone are the cause of this problem. ~They alone are to blame for the suicides of young people because of the homophobia their dogmatic utterances engender in the minds of people. J'accuse. There would be no debate if they got off the stage.
Here is a very good debate between two Catholics and two Atheists that does the matter more justice than I do it and with some more eloquence.
Why thank you very much Strega. Neat graphic.!
"In some countries a partner of (say) 20 years has no inheritance rights or cannot visit a dying partner in hospital because he or she is not considered to be "family"
Does anyone personally know anyone that this has happened to and why couldnt an inheritance be simply stated in a will?
Inheritance can of course be stated in a will, and medical decisions can be delegated in a health care power of attorney. Sadly, not everyone is proactive about writing these things before they need them. That is when the state applies whatever "default" probate rules it has, which of course generally reflect the expectations of the local culture (in the case of a democracy).
The concern, which I think is valid, is that the local culture may be onerous to a minority. There does need to be a "default" case, though, absent other provisions. I'm not sure it's worth getting hugely angry about so long as the law allows for easy and effective equivalent alternatives.
The problem is that not all alternatives are equivalent. For example, inheritance passes to a spouse tax-free, but to someone else it may, depending on the circumstances, be taxed.
I would still suggest that "marriage" is too loaded a word. It generates too much passion in the religious community for whom the word connotes a special sacrament within our religion that has a particular meaning. If the issue were legal equivalence for civil partnerships, that is much easier to support, and indeed Catholic teaching in many cases would suggest that Catholics may be morally obligated to support such legislation.
"Sadly, not everyone is proactive about writing these things before they need them"
I think thats true for the mainstream, but I think that homosexuals wanting to enter into a union, are aware and proactive about these things and that they do go about arranging those things to suit their own lifestyles.
I have had two long term relationships but never married. I grew up in a culture that viewed women as domestic appliances and I saw my two older sister go through arranged marriages so, bride girl was never a fantasy of mine.
I have also had to set my future up differently to those who have traditional marriages.
so long as the law allows for easy and effective equivalent alternatives
Well, now wouldn't that be a treat?
I agree that the word "marriage" can mean different things to different people. For some it has a religious significance while for others it is just required for legal reasons and/or as a public declaration of love or partnership. Some Christians have the ridiculous idea that two men or two women could not raise a child without "making it gay".
Bear with me – Would the church object to two gay people getting married if one was a man and the other a woman. If one partner was a child psychologist and the other a school teacher who had won the lotto should they be "allowed" to adopt a seven year old orphan whose parents were ones brother and the others sister? (ok I am making it up as I go along). Assuming that they will never have sex because they are gay and are only getting married to adopt the child they have always known and loved and to ensure his/her future should they die too.
Why would Christians say no to this and demand that state law says it too?
'because they are gay and are only getting married to adopt the child they have always known and loved and to ensure his/her future should they die too."
Shhhh - I wont tell if you dont .... Nobody else has to know the reasons.
Everyone knows they are gay.....

Fisherman's Views
Waterboy-in-chief Mike Scott has been there, done that and written a song about it. Now he's chronicled it all in a funny, moving memoir. The biggest revelation? Being a raggle-taggle pin-up doesn't attract many groupies
Olaf Tyaransen, 05 Jul 2012
One sunny summer's afternoon in the west of Ireland in 1988, a crazed Peter Lorre lookalike named Bandy Donovan went after The Waterboys with a loaded shotgun. The band had hired this tragic 'only gay in the village' typecast to cook and help around Spiddal House while they recorded their now-classic Fisherman's Blues album.
While the arrangement worked well at first, things soon went sour. Having paid Bandy much bemused attention in the early days, once they got down to serious work the musicians had a lot less time for any inane banter. Suddenly ignored, their hapless hired-hand felt jilted. So much so that, on receiving his first paycheque, he loaded up on booze, pills and shotgun cartridges, and went looking for revenge.
Thankfully, he was blotto enough to be easily disarmed by two of the crew. Not quite grasping the seriousness of what had just occurred, the chastened Bandy asked, "Will I go and make the dinner now?" Not unreasonably, the response was a screamed, "Just fuck off!!"
Waterboy-in-chief Mike Scott was wearing headphones while the incident happened. "I missed most of it," the silver-haired 53-year-old admits. "I was in the studio recording 'Spring Comes To Spiddal', cheerfully oblivious. All I knew was, when I came out, there had been this big fracas. There was [producer John] Dunford and your man with the rubber face, squirming."
The Spiddal shotgun incident is just one of numerous amusing anecdotes peppering the pages of Scott's brilliantly written memoir Adventures Of A Waterboy. Like a full-length version of one of his better songs, it tells the tale of the Edinburgh-born singer-songwriter's single-minded devotion to his artistic muse, from his teenage years in Ayrshire, editing fanzines and fronting garage bands, to his long peripatetic career as shamanic leader of The Waterboys.
We're sitting in the comfortably faded grandeur of a reception room in Borris House, a large and impressive country pile outside Carlow, having just finished a public interview as part of the Éigse Arts Festival. While he's enjoying the experience of being a published author on a book tour, reading onstage rather than singing is proving strange. "I would've brought my guitar tonight, but I thought there was gonna be a piano."

Kasprzak was last seen telling family members he would check the basement, according to authorities.
Police immediately went to Kasprzak's house immediately after he was reported missing, but they could not enter the house as there were downed electrical wires in the nearby water, according to the NYPD.
Officers entered the house around 7 a.m. Tuesday, once it was safe to enter, and found Kasprzak's body in the basement.
By Tuesday night the city medical examiner was still determining the cause of Kasprzak's death.
Kasprzak served for six years in the 1st precinct and one year before that as a cadet in the 122nd Precinct detective squad on Staten Island.
Investigators also say officers were searching a home located on Fox Beach Avenue Tuesday when they came across the bodies of a 51-year-old man and his 20-year-old son. Their identities were not immediately available.
By late Tuesday, no details on the other deaths in Staten Island were available.

Planning a graduation trip this Summer? Heck, just looking for somewhere to escape to? Booking a vacation is exciting, of course, but it can also be stressful when it comes to choosing the right place to visit. To help you narrow down the oh-so-big world we live in, we've rounded up incredible places for fun-seeking spirits. All are beachside destinations that promise loads of excitement, so you can get your play — and your tan — on.
Do You Turn Off Electronics During Flights?
Been on a flight recently? Chances are, a few passengers didn't turn off their portable electronic devices — maybe you were one of them. Now, we have numbers regarding the rule breaking, thanks to new survey findings released last week. Two industry groups polled passengers and reported that 30 (yes, 30!) percent had left a device on during takeoff or landing.
When it comes to actually shutting off electronics, more than 20 percent said they just switch to airplane mode instead of shutting down completely. The gadget that's left on most often? No surprise: it's the cell phone.
While there's no official proof that these devices affect a plane's radio and electronic systems, the policy remains in place.
We want to know: what's your power-down policy?
Beauty Essentials to Pack For Your Honeymoon Destination
When you've finally gotten to the honeymoon portion of wedded bliss, the stress of making it to "I do" is well worth it. But packing can be a whole other project. Passport? Check. Lingerie? Check. But what about all those other beauty necessities you might need to feel as beautiful and sexy as you should on your honeymoon? We've rounded up everything you need to stay gorgeous, no matter your destination — plus, some things you can leave at home to lighten up your suitcase.
8 Budget Destinations That Don't Feel That Way
Not everyone has an unlimited supply of money to pour into their vacation fund. Luckily, there are plenty of amazing places to see that don't cost an arm and a leg. Our friends at DailyWorth know all the best spots!
Got a travel itch but trying to stick to your budget? As it turns out, there's often an amazing (and cheaper!) alternative to the pricey destination you've been dreaming about. For a little inspiration, we turned to Jeralyn Gerba, cofounder and editorial director of the travel website Fathom, who offered up some innovative and inexpensive travel ideas. Read on for some smart swaps that will satisfy your wanderlust but set you back way less, along with her expert tips on where to stay, eat, drink, and shop in each locale.
Seeking Tahitian surf and seclusion? Try Nicaragua.
According to WaterWays Surf Adventures, Nicaragua is one of Surfline's "Best Bets" for surf travel from anywhere in the US. Gerba agrees: "Flights are cheap from the states, the rural coasts feel just as secluded as the South Seas, and there's consistent beach bum migration because of the great Pacific surf breaks — always a good sign." There's much more than surfing here, too. In addition to the dramatic Pacific coastline, Nicaragua offers up tranquil Caribbean beaches, freshwater lakes, verdant hills, and even volcanoes.
Where to stay: La Bahia Beach Hotel is a stylish, laid-back surf lodge that has a pool, a restaurant serving fresh seafood, an open-air lounge, and four breezy cabanas with king-size beds, alfresco showers, and unobstructed views of the ocean. The low-season (May 16 to Oct. 31) rate is $150 per night; the high-season (Nov. 1 to May 15) rate is $180.
Eat like you're in Paris in . . . Montreal.
There's Old World charm, beguiling accents, and plenty of gourmet items you'll wish you could smuggle through customs (foie gras! confit de canard!). Check out the city's oldest quarter, Vieux-Montréal, for the most European experience. It's full of cobble-stoned streets, museums, and restaurants. Don't miss the revitalized canal district, which you can explore by boat, on foot, or with rented bicycles. Burn off those gourmet calories by strolling through Parc du Mont-Royal, situated on the hill that gave the metropolis its name.
Where to shop: The Jean Talon Market is an open-air market where the surrounding food shops are a gourmet paradise, showcasing a vast array of locally raised meats, farm-fresh produce, artisanal chocolates, and Québécois cheeses, wines, and ciders. Have lunch here or just enjoy the plentiful food samples at the market while mingling with Montrealers.
3 No-Equipment Ways to Exercise When You Travel
If you're like me, luggage space is at a premium when you travel; after all, you need an outfit for every possible situation! But lack of space in your suitcase for a pair of running shoes isn't a good excuse to skip on a workout while you travel. Whether you've forgotten to pack your gear or don't have any space to add your fitness travel essentials, here are three workouts you can do using only what you've got in your hotel room!
Glide it: SLT Yoga trainer and Under Armour model Natalie Uhling loves using hand towels or washcloths in place of gliders (one for each foot) to do this effective move almost anywhere when she doesn't have that much time to exercise. "On any slick surface, do sets of 20 knee into your tricep [to work] your obliques and your glutes," she recommends. If your hotel room is carpeted, use the floor in the bathroom or room foyer to do this move.
Video workout: If you have a laptop, follow along to our workouts that use props you already have in your room. Try this hotel room video workout, or grab those towels again and do this total-body towel workout from Madonna's trainer.
Pilates: A mat workout like Pilates helps you tone your entire body in a small space. Natalie recommends doing sets of the Pilates classic move Hundreds whenever you get a chance; you can do these anywhere on your hotel room floor.

If you're looking to learn a language, you could certainly do worse than Spanish. It's the third most-spoken language in the world, and Hispanics make up more than 16 percent of the US population. So, in honor of Cinco de Mayo, here are five tools I've found super helpful in my quest to learn Spanish as an adult.
- App: Larousse Spanish-English Dictionary ($4.99) The free Spanish-English dictionary apps I tried left a lot to be desired, and this $5 app is well worth the price. It quickly translates almost any word from my phone, and it also has tons of verb conjugations — a must have for beginners! Plus I can do my homework on the go.
- Podcast: Discover Spanish (free) This series of 10-minute Spanish lessons is great for travelers, because it teaches commonly used phrases while also explaining a bit of the grammar, so you're more likely to remember. It's also a great supplement to in-person Spanish lessons. After a while, I found the hilarious music and overly enthusiastic host "Johnny Spanish" quite endearing.
Creative Summer Road Trips For New Grads
Editor's note: The following guest post was written by Andy Murdock, the US digital editor for Lonely Planet.
As much as you'll miss your roomies and classmates, the next best thing to chucking your graduation cap into the air is hitting the road and watching your alma mater shrink to a blip in your rearview mirror. For at least a brief moment in time, there's nowhere you have to be, nobody telling you where to go or what to do. The only boss of you is, well, you.
With a few good friends or flying solo, the postgraduation Summer road trip requires distance, new vistas, and time — time for the experiences you set out to find, and more importantly the transformative ones you'll never see coming.
So if it's all up to you, why do what everyone else is doing? Here are a few creative ideas to get you started planning your trip:
Get Your Cross-Country Kicks Out of the Way
If you strategically went to college far away, then a slow, meandering trip back home across the country is in order . . . with the emphasis on slow and meandering. While all of the east-west interstates have their moments, they're about speed over scenery, local culture or adventure. The best of the US for the savvy traveler is on the back roads and the lesser-known north-south highways.
A road trip is a journey, not a destination. Instead of stringing together cities in a cross-country itinerary, plan your trip around the interesting roads themselves, and use the interstates to connect them as necessary. Some roads to aim for: Skyline Drive to the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Great River Road along the Mississippi, US Route 89 (a road-tripper's dream that connects more national parks than any other road in the US), US Route 395 along the eastern Sierra Nevada, or the famously scenic Pacific Coast Highway.

This box is comparable to a box craftsman made years ago in a time when even the basic box was made in usa. I know because i own it and it has seen hard use. This new china box is not as good in any way except the bearing drawers are good for the price of this box and the top box has a little hold open hinge not just a piano hinge. The metal is thinner on this box and the castors on the wheels are smaller and weaker. It is made to be stationary. Now.....Tool boxes these days are ALL like this these days at this pricepoint. For the price of this box i think its the best value out there. Its not junk, it looks good, and as a stationary box its great. Drawers are smooth and feel good and it will hold your tools. If you are a pro or will wheel it around a lot, get something else but this box dont claim to be that. It all comes back to what your purpose is..............

I've owned this tool box for less than 3 months and nearly all of the rollers/slides have fallen apart. The method for attaching the slides to the drawers is weak as well. I bought this box to have a larger capacity one. Ironically, all the drawers of the smaller plastic toolbox that it replaced are still working after 6 years.

The thing I hate most about tool chests are ones that require disassembly / reassembly prior to use. Both the top and bottom units had 2 drawer slides that literally fell out/apart when removing the drawers to prepare these for use. How do you remove the slides to fix this? Oh, the instructions have the answer; drill out the rivets holding them in. Complete waste of my time. If my wife didn't get me this for christmas, I would kicking the you know what out of the folks at sears. Also, I have no faith in the people that make this now so I know that when I fix this, it'll be better than "new" since new is flawed. It really sucks to know you are more mechanically inclined than the people creating your tools. I would recommend to anyone purchasing these to check the drawer slides first before using this and take it straight back to sears for a replacement if they are not 100% perfect.

Step yo game up!
Hopefully the often rumored Call of Duty Vita will be a step in the right direction.
Thanks, Jim, but I think it'll be serviceable till we get something else.
well this line is the main problem of Vita(and was a problem on PSP for some time): there's not many good games so now if anything is released on Vita and works it praised just because there's something new to play on a system without games, not because it's good. same problem existed on PSP - i looked last year at the list of best reviewed PSP games, 3/4 of those games waw REALLY bad. i'm still baffled how some of these games could be considered good just because overall lack of many releases(Resistance, MGS: Portable Ops, both God of War games, KH: Birth by Sleep, all NFS games etc.).
I'm not surprised, and it's rather a good thing that Insomniac wasn't the dev on this one and has moved on from the Resistance series in general.
Such a shame because a dual stick shooter would be awesome on a handheld. I still have very fond memories of playing SOCOM FTB online on the PSP... many happy hours chatting with people while getting "corpse humped" when I died. It was my first experience being corpse humped... and also where I learned to mock men's lack of "equipment" on prox chat! Yeah, good times. :)
Looks like you love hemorrhaging money, since every time things don't go you way you trade in yours system just to buy it again later on. Not smart man.
I was also hoping that this was a good one, and the name Resistance was like a guarantee they would take the proper care with the title. Seems I was mistaken.
I am also looking forward to be able to play the PSOne titles that I have bought on the PSN, I just hope they add compatibility to them instead of slow trickle of releases like they did on the Xperia play. I said before, call the guys who make the emulators, they know your shit better than you, it seems.
Maybe tomorrow we get Zen Pinball 2.. *grumbles*
Shame...as a big FPS person I had high hopes for this.
But no seriously, Resistance hasn't been a particularly blockbustery title since the first game. Resistance 3 flopped by its budget's standards. Even if this title was great, it was/is hardly a system seller.
I am not laughing at the game or the review result, just the number, 2 is a hilarious number
"I think it'll be serviceable till we get something else."
Wells that's why we keep getting crap like that.
Personal taste though... I have very fond memories of R1 and R3 just isn't cutting it. :(
"Just Jim being Jim..."? He didn't give it a 2 just for a laugh. Some people can be entertaining AND take their job seriously at the same time.
Holy crap, I pretty much agree with Sofik88.........
*laughs hysterically*

This view shows the area of the city of North Platte, Nebraska. Near here, the Pioneer Company began using an odometer on one of the wagons. North Platte and South Platte rivers merge here, becoming the Platte River. That river then runs east to the Missouri River. Brigham Young and the Saints had followed the Platte River going west. At this point they followed the North Platte on to the area of Casper, Wyoming.

Alright, so a couple of days ago I was talking to a friend of mine in class. And we began to talk about religion. Now I'm far from the kind of person that likes to showcase my views on things, But I told him I was an Atheist. He Actually didn't believe me at first, and said that people have to take a oath to become an atheist. We literally argued about this for 5 whole minutes before I finally said lets go to an computer and get google the definition. after I showed him what atheism actually is, He still retained doubt. I just said forget it, and ended the conversation on it there.
What I'm asking is how long will people remain that ignorant on atheism. It's not like he's dumb when it comes to other topics. He says He's a christian and he never even read the bible. And when I told him and another friend I read it They Laughed. Oh yeah and I forgot to mention one of the guys laughing has a tattoo that says "blessed" on his chest. And he never read the bible. That's just stupid to me, But I kinda want to know what other people think about this.

Yesterday, I ran across a slogan I really liked:
"Religion - together, we can find a cure."
Just when you think we're starting to make some progress --
Tunisia blasphemy bill threatens free speech:
A bill to criminalise offences against "sacred values," filed in parliament this week by Tunisia's ruling Islamist party Ennahda threatens freedom of expression, Human Rights Watch warned on Friday.
"The draft bill would provide prison terms and fines for broadly worded offenses such as insulting or mocking the 'sanctity of religion,'" the rights group said.
International human rights law generally prohibits criminalising the defamation of religion, the New York-based watchdog added.
This is what frightened people do when they feel their foundations slipping out from under them - there's no need to criminalize a behavior unless you expect it to happen.
I worked with a Tunisian moslum years ago. I lead a repair crew fixing student rentals. During our work day the crew would crack jokes to lighten our work load, and sometimes the laughter would echo through the structure we were working on. One day the fellow came by to check on us, and as usual the work was getting done and I had just made some funny observation followed by a rather loud chuckle, but he told us that it was against his religion to 'laugh'. At his job site, on his quarter, no laughter was allowed. Since I had known the guy for years, and had been on many repair jobs already completed, I let him know that, 'in the states, which is still not a moslum country, no 'freedom to laugh' would be an intolerable work condition and I would not continue under such a condition.' Happily the statement was a very well placed trump!
The laughter continued, no one was ever hurt, the work got done, a little joy was maintained amide the dirt, dust, and the occasional blood blister!
That must be a Tunisian thing, as I have worked with Muslims from other countries, Pakistani and Iranian, who had great on-the-job senses of humor.
Same here. My best math buddy when attending the Univ. of New Mexico was an assoc. prof. and a Muslim. To say he had a great sense of humor -- and a great attitude toward atheists -- would be an understatement.
Fact is, most Muslims couldn't care less if someone is atheist, unlike most Christians.
ETA: most U.S. Muslims.
My American History professor in college was Iranian - he made American History come alive, and taught me more about my own country than any American teacher I've ever encountered.
During my second return to school, I was the co-director of the campus SOS/Atheist group. During one afternoon, our group of guys were out on the park blocks selling bumper stickers and buttons, debating with the local evangelists, and handing out 'Pop God' balloons. The campus Muslim group was near by, and came to our rescue when the theists got routy about our balloons! We were very surprised!
"This is what frightened people do when they feel their foundations slipping..."
So very true, archaeopteryx, and when those frightened people enlist the state, with its monopoly on violence, to help them put down dissenters, another Inquisition follows.
Some nations are where Europe was six centuries ago, and here in the US of A some people want to return us to those times. They all but control the Republican party, and if they win in the November elections they will have a grip on the state and its monopoly on violence.
People in every nation have to win their freedom; so do people in every generation.
I can't imagine that it ever dawned on those people that if their god existed, he wouldn't need man-made laws to influence human behavior - the necessity of those laws gives testimony to his weakness.
archaeopterix, your post moved me to speculate.
For a few moments think of pre-human times.
Our pre-human ancestors lived in social groups and these groups had rules. They also had leaders and followers. They had struggles for leadership and left no written evidence.
I think it reasonable to assert, without written evidence, that rules in these groups were made by those who won leadership struggles, and these rules preceded any rules that recognized sky beings.
It's my guess that the first rules that recognized sky beings were made by those who'd lost leadership struggles in these groups.
If they survived unsuccessful leadership struggles (if winners didn't kill them), their bodies continued to produce testosterone so they sought other kinds of control.
Tom - I've recently read Dian Fossey's Gorillas in the Mist, and her biography, Woman in the Mist, by Farley Mowat, and I was left with a feeling - unsupportable, admittedly - that I was looking at us, several million years ago, in which case, I'd have to agree with you completely, that struggles for tribal leadership, which translate to struggles for mates and the better portions of food, probably superseded any consideration of a god.
I'm sure that the gorillas fear lightening and thunder, but likely don't attribute them to any creature living in the sky, as, as far as they're concerned, the world they live in, is the only world there is.

Hey there, Happy Friday! I hope all of my fellow Ontarians have stocked up on liquor for the long weekend in case the LCBO goes on strike (lucky for me, I already have seven bottles of wine on hand from various wine tasting trips, so I'm all good. Plus, I prefer beer…)
Anyway, on to today's topic – creating a workout schedule that gets results but doesn't leave you feeling like you spend every second of your spare time at the gym.
It's taken me awhile to figure out an exercise/healthy eating routine that works with my current schedule and lifestyle. Since becoming a homeowner, I've obviously had more responsibilities on my plate, which makes it harder to fit in exercise and cooking.
At the same time, now that I'm living with Josh, I find myself wanting to hang out with him after work instead of going to the gym most nights. So here is what an ideal week looks like and why it works out so perfectly.
In a good week, I'll cook three nights a week (one large meal that makes lots of leftovers on Sunday night and two regular meals during the week) and workout five days a week (one weekday morning, two weeknights and both days of the weekend).
On a busier week, I'll skip one workout and only cook once or twice and then have ingredients on hand to throw together a quick meal on the go. My schedule usually goes something like this:
Sunday – Unless I've had a late night the night before, I'll usually go for a quick jog, take a spin class or go to hot yoga. Sometimes Josh and I will meet up with friends to go rock climbing in the afternoon. In the evenings, we cook a big meal that makes 6-8 servings so we'll have leftovers for the work week.
Monday and Tuesday – I like to do a BodyPump class before work on Monday morning and then take a rest day on Tuesday. This gives me two evenings to rest, cook dinner, read a book, chill out with Josh and catch up on my favourite TV shows.
Wednesday – After a full two and a half days of rest, I'm more than ready to return to the gym for Pump on Wednesday night. By this point in the week, we have three meals' worth of leftovers so I don't have to worry about cooking. And since Josh usually has basketball on Wednesday nights, I'm not tempted to blow off my workout to watch Homeland with him.
Thursday – Similar to Wednesday, I don't have to cook on Thursday nights and Josh has volleyball, so I have no reason to skip the gym. On Thursdays, I go straight to BodyCombat from work and eat leftovers when I get home.
Friday – Ideally a rest day but I'll sometimes do a BodyPump class before work as a back up if I missed a workout earlier in the week. Occasionally, Josh and I will go climbing in the evening.
Saturday – Like Sunday, Saturday's workout is whatever I feel like doing. I'll either do BodyPump (only if I didn't go on Friday) or a Les Mills cardio class, go for a run or a hike, go rock climbing, do yoga or take an optional third rest day. It depends on how much activity I've done during the week, my energy level, my plans for the day, my mood etc.
The nice thing about all of this is that it's totally flexible. I don't feel like I have to plan my life around the gym or like it's a constant struggle to stick to my workouts and prepare homemade food. I also have a lot of down time so I don't feel like I'm spending all of my spare time at the gym.
Which I think should be the basis of any healthy living or fitness routine – make it work for your lifestyle, not the other way around.
Have you discovered a workout routine that works for you?

Best Disposable Ballpoint

About Me Quality Oriented
I've used Papermate stick pens all my life, from taking notes in school, to writing in my journal, to business purposes. I find that they're the best of the inexpensive, disposable pens. The ink tends to start out a little dry with a new pen but, after a break-in period, flows freely and leave a dark line.

PERKASIE The status of each teams feature back was a feature angle heading into Saturdays District 1-Class AAAA semifinal.
Much ado had been made all week about whether Pennridge workhorse Mike Class would see action after reportedly suffering a concussion during a quarterfinal victory the week before over Pennsbury.
Spring-Ford junior tailback Jarred Jones, meanwhile, was a question mark as well, having come out of last weeks quarterfinal win over Ridley with a bruised knee.
So when Class started the game and Jones remained on the Spring-Ford sideline, conventional wisdom suggested it would be a huge advantage for the third-seeded hosts.
Over the final two quarters, however, the tale of the two standout rushers took a decided turn to the Spring-Ford side.
Jones didnt earn his first carry until the first play of the second half, but boy was it a memorable one a 74-yard TD sprint that set the tone for a strong finish as Spring-Ford continued its scintillating season with a 35-24 victory at Poppy Yoder Field.
The 5-foot-10, 190-pound Jones wound up collecting a team-high 89 rushing yards on 13 carries to help the seventh-seeded Rams (12-2) advance to Friday nights AAAA final against Coatesville at Downingtown West.
The Rams defense, meanwhile, turned in an impressive collective effort against Class holding the 2,000-yard rusher to just 62 yards and one TD on 20 carries.
Youre not going to stop a kid like him, Spring-Ford coach Chad Brubaker said. But I thought we contained him. He had some nice plays, but we bottled him up down the field and I dont recall him having any huge plays.
After breaking down game video and noting the tendencies of the Suburban One Continental Conference champions, Brubaker put in a separate scheme that involved inserting Jack Haney and Tate Carter to provide a different look in the hopes of limiting Class, who sat out Thursdays 28-13 win over Quakertown before being cleared to play Friday.
Hes slippery, and he makes people miss, Brubaker said. We wanted to get everybody around the football when he had it; we wanted to grab cloth and make sure we bottled him up.
That they did. Except for an 11-yard TD run that got Pennridge within 28-24 with 4:30 left in the third quarter, Spring-Ford didnt allow the 5-11, 185-pound junior a double-digit gain.
Jones, on the other hand, made it worth the wait for his first offensive touch.
I was pretty banged up all week, said Jones, who admitted he was about 80 percent. When coach said, Get ready, I was ready to go.
After finally hitting the field on a kickoff return just before the half, he made his presence felt in big way when the teams returned from the locker room after intermission.
I told him right before he went in, Listen, you dont have to get it all on one play, Brubaker said.
Jones, however, had other ideas. He took a handoff from quarterback Hank Coyne, burst through a gaping hole off left tackle, bounced it outside and raced to the end zone.
Then when he came back, I said, I told you that you didnt have to get it all in one play, joked Brubaker.
Hes a very good back, Pennridge coach Randy Cuthbert said of Jones. And when you put him behind a really big line like that and hes not getting touched until hes a couple yards downfield, youre in trouble.
I just wanted to get the first down, then it opened up, said Jones. I saw (wide receiver) Gary (Hopkins) get his block and I just followed him.
And the Rams followed suit en route to another potent and balanced attack.
Coyne, who had earlier connected with Gary Hopkins for a 61-yard touchdown, unloaded a 25-yard strike to tight end Zameer McDowell to seal it in the fourth quarter.
Junior Tate Carter came up with some huge receptions and clutch runs. And Yousef Lundi ran for 77 yards as the Rams amassed 193 rushing yards.
Jarreds been banged up, Brubaker said. He didnt take any first team reps during the week. But when hes in there, it helps us so much. It allows us to put Tate Carter at wide receiver, and allows us to rotate the backs a little so everyone is fresh.
Jones, who missed a total of seven games earlier with a broken wrist and ailing shoulder, has still managed to rush for 927 yards and an 8.6 average.
It was a little bit frustrating, he said of his injury issues. But these past few weeks (in the postseason) have been great. I dont want it to end.
It didnt Saturday, thanks both to a triumphant return by Jones and a defense that passed the Class test.

// Thoughts…on #Talent//
It's crazy to think that we are born with certain talents, talents that define us, which in time grows our passions for that talent. However, being that we live in a not so perfect world, there are bound to be events that could change the course of ones life. Sometimes, this change can be good and other times, it takes TIME to see the good in something that wasn't so great from the start.
When life changing events happen or something occurs in ones life that was not expected, it is important to stay strong and positive. I believe that sometimes when hardships come about it is so easy to forget our TALENTS and wallow instead.
As I get older I am constantly learning and have a greater appreciation for the things I have in my life. However, it was today while at church I was reminded of my TALENT, what I am called to do. We all have different talents that God has blessed us with and it is IMPORTANT not to forget it. The longer you forget it, it may also forget you…

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- A growing number of homebuyers across Central New York means the creation of 25 more jobs in the area.
First Niagara bank officially opened its new mortgage processing center in downtown Syracuse Thursday. Customers, employees and community leaders gathered at the new facility to celebrate the grand opening.
Bank executives say with an increase in the number of mortgage applications in the area, they needed this facility to help serve the local customers more efficiently.
"I think it's an illustration of our continued investment in both Central New York and our commitment to the revitalization of downtown Syracuse. We are a major employer here in Onondaga County and across the Central New York area and we saw this as a great opportunity to continue to make investment in this area," said David Kavney, First Niagara Market Executive.
At the grand opening, First Niagara presented a $1,000 grant to Home Headquarters, a not-for-profit that helps create housing for Central and Northern New York residents.

a special 'giveaway'
So, I would like to offer a special 'giveaway'..... and so today I am offering a new design, this black heart, stitched in my 'moonlit' style, machine embroidery on hand dyed linen. The winner of this piece can decide if they would like it to be a brooch, a pendant, or ornament and I will complete and send. I'll also include a pressed flower..... this tiny heartsease flower is my favourite, a native wildflower, so very dear....
If you would like to enter this 'giveway' then simply leave a comment here saying hello - making sure I have some way of contacting you. You have until early Monday morning UK time. Please leave your comment here and not at novembermoon:)
Many thanks and I wish you a creative, sunny, inspired Solstice weekend x
More soon......
