Pushing the Rock
Jeremiah 1:4-8
Wilfredo J Baez
Take a deep breath and put aside your worries and concerns, however big or little they are . . . and take another deep breath and set aside your worries and weariness . . . you can pick them up later but for now, if you will, set them aside and simply be, nothing to do except listen to a scripture, a story and a word . . . nothing to do but let God's word drop like a small stone into the pond of your consciousness, your spiritual mind . . . feel the ripple in still water reverberate in you, in your heart, your mind, your soul, your being . . . peace . . .
4Now the word of the Lord came to me saying, 5"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations." 6Then I said, "Ah, Lord God! Truly I do not know how to speak, for I am only a boy." 7But the Lord said to me, "Do not say, 'I am only a boy'; for you shall go to all to whom I send you, and you shall speak whatever I command you, 8Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you, says the Lord." Jeremiah 1: 4-8
I don't remember whether the character in this story is a man or a woman. It can be either, so let the character be you . . .
You wake up one morning and you hear a voice, a divine voice you are sure, and the voice directs you to a large boulder in your front yard and tells you that you are to push on this boulder. You look at the boulder and say to the voice, "It is so big! I'll never be able to move it!" And the divine voice tells you, "Push on the rock until I tell you not to." You respond to the voice, "I'll start tomorrow" and the voice tells you in an authoritarian tone, "Start pushing now!" And you begin. All morning, all afternoon, all evening you push on the boulder, stopping only to eat and drink water, until it's time to retire for bed. You get a full night's rest. You get the interest of a neighbor or two who watch in silence as you push on the rock. The next day after breakfast you return to the boulder and push and push, all day, all night and you continue pushing on the rock day after day, month after month, year after year . . .
At this point your family and friends have questioned you. You have explained that a divine voice has ordered you to this task and they shake their head in wonder as you continue to push. Your neighbors have surrounded you and have begun to ask you what you are doing. When you told them that you are following a divine command they begin to mock you and call into question your sanity. Years have gone by. You have pushed in rain and shine and wind and snow, faithful to your task.
Finally, true to your path as you are, you begin to doubt and cry out to God, "Give me strength to move this boulder!" Finally, you scream in anguish "God, take away this boulder. I have tried my hardest to move it. I cannot! Was it even you who gave me this task? Am I delusional?" The voice boomed down from heaven. "Yes it was me. But why are you thinking that your task is to move the boulder. The task I gave you was to push it. You have been faithful in the task I have given you. Now, look at you, so strong and fit! Your hands, arms, your neck, your shoulders, your back, your legs they are so well toned and so powerful. You are well prepared for the job I have for you!"
The stress in our lives can be like such a boulder as this; huge and unmovable. We push on it day and night, day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year . . . perhaps even lifetime after lifetime. And there it is greeting us each day, perhaps looming larger, an invincible obstacle perhaps seeming smaller, an irritant. We push and push thinking the boulder is bad, that it shouldn't be there, angry even with God for putting it there. We have to get rid of it! Or stressors may lurk around us, tossing stones at us, causing us to evade their path. Or stressors exist in us like sleeper cells, awakening within us and overwhelming our nervous systems. It is quite possible that we will always have stressors.
That's how I have been with my boulders, dealing with them the best way I know how, misunderstanding God's task for me, thinking I have to move them, when God has just said push on them. Finally, I realize I don't have to move the boulders but in pushing on them I can gain. I can learn something about doing God's will, no more and no less and facing my problems, not trying to eliminate them, but relating to them, understanding them and becoming stronger on account of them.
And so, if cannot move the boulders, how can you make use of them? If you cannot remove your stressors how can you relate to them differently? How might you even make them your friends and allies? And if your job is to push on the boulder how can you take a breath and find respite from them? Perhaps as you push on the boulder you are becoming boulders yourselves, stronger and unmovable in your own right, able to withstand any onslaught of stressors from around you or within you, being prepared for some next step in your journeys, some task you need to perform that helps yourself and others. Remember you help others more when you heal yourself.
Perhaps pushing on a boulder is doing something you don't understand or don't want to but which helps you for life after pushing on the boulder. Maybe mental health treatment is preparing you for life outside of mental health treatment.
Perhaps mastery is not in moving the boulders and stressors in our lives but in accepting them, relating with them, knowing them and abiding with them, until we no longer have need of them. I leave you with this question. As you consider the boulder in your life, where is God in your boulder or relationship with your boulder? Will you relax and trust God as you relate to your boulder, relying upon God's direction about how to relate to your boulder.

Rage, hurt, despair, these are the emotions engulfing me now.I guess I will just take a chill pill, what say folks? After all, that is all you need to enjoy life..Chilling.
Now now my readers might be wondering what the enormous burst of sarcasm for? They just expect innocent good little honest posts from my blog. But a little bit of sarcasm is not bad all the time, what say? After all when everyone is enjoying and no one is forcing you to do anything (or anybody), why the sadness? Why the despair? You take your own decisions right? The only way people take advantage of you is when you allow them to. Right? We are all "modern" individuals here. We take our own decisions, we do not let anything bad happen to us and if we are not happy with ourselves- it is our fault! C'mon welcome life with wide open arms, and life will welcome you. What are you sad for? What are you hurt for? Everyone keep smiling in the land of God, opportunities..blah blah
And don't let anyone see your tears, or feel your fears, coz they won't understand. They never do, do they? You pretend to be happy and they are all over you. You show your vulnerabilities and they either take advantage of you or glorify themselves at your expense. Marvelous, isn't it? What a pretty little world with pretty little people! Small minds, small hearts. You are weak, you can't take the brutal force of life, so you do not have any right to participate in the rat race (are you a rat btw?) You worry too much, you are too sensitive, you are not fit for today's world. Be strong, be independent. Give your best. Don't depend on people too much. Has anyone ever told them that animals are much better than human beings?
They do not want you to be like them, they accept you the way you are. I know now why I was always a misfit among human beings. Unsocial, selfish- I am not new to these words. May be it's for the best. Get your work done, trample these little insects and show their rightful place to where they really belong. Coz that's what human beings are there for- to be taken advantage of. Be strong, be independent.
This new year I take a resolution, I will trample as many of these little insects as I can, take advantage of them, show their rightful place. Nice hobby it will be. Business and pleasure both achieved all at once! As they say, the wolf in disguise is more dangerous than the tiger in front of you. ;)
Till then, SSshhhhh.....Don't tell anyone!

Well, many women dream of a job overseas. Life in a foreign country can be challenging. At the same time, it might bring new opportunities as well. When you aspire to work in a different country, you will have to think about many things, including the language, culture and totally new environment. You should be able to get adjusted well with all these things. A lot of mental preparation is needed before you head to a new country. Finding jobs in another country might not be that easy. However, we wouldn't call it impossible. As long as you are ready to put in the right effort, you will walk away with your dream job overseas.
Types of overseas jobs
Let's take a closer look at the different kinds of overseas jobs out there. Well, there are 2 types of jobs you can think one – one is temporary and the other one is long-term, real job. When it comes to the long-term job, you will be required to move in there as soon as possible. It all depends on your priorities. What do you prefer? Do you wish to make a life in another country? Or is it just about the excitement in travelling to a new country and earning some money there? If it is the latter, they should only look for a temporary job opportunity. For an ambitious person, finding a job in another country might not be that challenging – weather it is a temporary job or a long-term job. Let's take a closer look at the opportunities that await you in the foreign land. You can get in touch with a 187 visa migration agent.
Teaching English
When it comes to most popular jobs abroad for women, one has to mention teaching English abroad. As you know, English is fast becoming the global language of communication. Given that, many countries have started teaching English in their country. For instance, in a country like China, English was not welcome. But once becoming a big superpower of late, they have realized the significance of English in the modern world. And they were taught English to the people in their country. If you think that your English is really good, then you can head to one of these countries to make a living. You will be making good money being a teacher in one of these foreign countries. You can take it up as a temporary job if you wish to test the water first. Or you can take up the job as a full-time tutor if you are comfortable with the idea. You will come across employer sponsored visa agents.
You have plenty of opportunities before you. It is only a matter of taking advantage of it!

duratyayaṁ vyasanaṁ nāti-dīrghāt
tad astu kāmaṁ hy agha-niṣkṛtāya me
yathā na kuryāṁ punar evam addhā
The Supreme Lord enjoins that brāhmaṇas and cows must be given all protection. The Lord is Himself very much inclined to do good to brāhmaṇas and cows (go-brāhmaṇa-hitāya ca). Mahārāja Parīkṣit knew all this, and thus he concluded that his insulting a powerful brāhmaṇa was certainly to be punished by the laws of the Lord, and he was expecting something very difficult in the very near future. He therefore desired the imminent calamity to fall on him and not on his family members. A man's personal misconduct affects all his family members. Therefore Mahārāja Parīkṣit desired the calamity to fall on him alone. By suffering personally he would be restrained from future sins, and at the same time the sin which he had committed would be counteracted so that his descendants would not suffer. That is the way a responsible devotee thinks. The family members of a devotee also share the effects of a devotee's service unto the Lord. Mahārāja Prahlāda saved his demon father by his personal devotional service. A devotee son in the family is the greatest boon or blessing of the Lord.

Solid! Thanks John for the great word of thanks. Happy Thanksgiving!
In this season where we are given a national holiday to pause life and focus on all that is right in our lives, I'm mindful of each person in our Saddleback Worship teams. The apostle Paul gives the Church this instruction:
"Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you." 1 Thessalonians 5:18 NLT
He says to give thanks IN all circumstances. Notice he doesn't say to give thanks FOR all circumstances. I know that in our teams many of us are experiencing mountaintop victories. The sun is shining so brightly and God's favor is abundantly clear. I celebrate and give thanks with you! Simultaneously, some of us are walking through the deepest waters and the tide seems to keep rising. Through teary eyes, I whisper my prayer of gratitude alongside you as well.
No matter where you find yourself this November, know that our Provider and Sustainer is singing over you. His grace is sufficient for you. No matter what. (2 Corinthians 12:9) In season of abundance, may we not rely on ourselves, our own wit and wisdom. And in drought and sorrow, may we not forget that all of His inheritance is still ours. He has given us more than enough to face what is here.
Several months ago, some teammates penned the lyrics that have been an anthem in this season. Let's keep these as a prayer and lifesong all year long.
"Let every song we sing say thank you."
Happy thanksgiving everyone. You're at the top of my gratitude list.
Global Worship Pastor
John is our Global Worship Pastor for Saddleback Church. Pursuing Jesus first, he leads and inspires the Saddleback Worship family with purpose. Alongside his wife Stefanie and sons Noah and Hayden, he creates space for all of our artists, technicians, staff, and volunteers to create, express, and lead in an atmosphere of joy.

The ASP.NET Repeater control is very useful and gives you lots of control over your output when compared to other controls such as the GridView. However, that comes at a cost of having to wire up all of your own events, sorting and paging etc.
Additionally, another drawback is that for a reason I can't explain, there is no EmptyDataTemplate or EmptyDataText property in a repeater which you can use when there are no items to display. Rumour abounded that ASP.NET 2.0 would include such a template, but it was not included.
Several people have tried different methods of handling this situation, but I found one which I think works nicely. I have a user control with a repeater in it, and on the Page_PreRender event I check that the Repeater's DataSource has rows in it. If not, then a label is made visible that tells the user no rows are present. If it does have data, then the Repeater is displayed.
<asp:Label ID="LabelNoProducts" runat="server" Text="You haven't added any products yet" visible="false" ></asp:Label>
Event: (User Control PreRender)
Private Sub Page_PreRender(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.PreRender
Dim ds As DataTable = RepeaterProductsList.DataSource
If ds.Rows.Count = 0 Then
RepeaterProductsList.Visible = False
LabelNoProducts.Visible = True
RepeaterProductsList.Visible = True
LabelNoProducts.Visible = False
End If
End Sub
Et voila. Each time your user control is loaded, it checks if there are rows in the repeater, and lets the user know if not.

I've written before about research showing that just one high fat meal can cause arteries to stiffen for a few hours after slugging down the lard. The medical folks call this artery stiffening "endothelial dysfunction".
The first thing most people think of is, "so what. I only eat high fat meals occasionally". Usually the infamous, "it's just one time" excuse is rolled out.
You've heard me address this jewel before.. yeah, it was just one time last week. And the week before. Oh, right.. that wedding last month.. nice buffet! Christmas.. huge spread this year. Office party, Superbowl party, birthday party.. you get the picture.
Then there's the "treat" thing. Yeah I know.. I like to treat myself a little now then.. I know I should cut back, but it's.. it's just a treat and I deserve a treat!
No doubt the food tastes good. But is fat gain a treat? Are high triglycerides, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure a treat? "Cris, you're a patronizing jerk!" Yeah, I hear that sometimes, or sometimes that sentiment is so strong I don't need to hear it, I can taste it. Most of the time though it's just laughed off because there isn't a strong connection with the real and immediate health risks associated with overeating.. overeating has a well established reward profile.
When I was a smoker I had the same defence when someone would say I should quit smoking.
I don't see smoking as a "treat" anymore, and the very thought of assigning cancer sticks the "treat" moniker is simply insane.
The latest research shows that one high fat meal increases inflammatory responses that lead to clogging arteries; in this case the study fed a serving consisting of two breakfast sandwiches, hash browns, and an orange juice from a fast food restaurant to willing study subjects.
The most interesting part of what was discovered was that if your waist girth was greater than 32 inches and you already had high triglycerides, you had a greater inflammatory response.
What's worrisome is that the inflammatory response that's causes here is a specific kind of lipoprotein increases and this is directly related to making fats stick to arterial walls, or "clogging arteries".
It's a self feeding mechanism.. overeating causes fat gain and rise in blood triglycerides. Having increased abdominal fat and high triglycerides increases the artery clogging effect of overeating, and every time a high fat meal is consumed, this process occurs.
Endothelial inflammation correlates with subject triglycerides and waist size following a high fat meal — AJP - Heart
Is there anything that can be done about this?
Practice disassociating reward with high fat meals.
Eating healthy is the real treat. Eat healthy, tasty meals and eat less.
We'll feel great, have more energy, and won't feel trapped by thinking we need high fat unhealthy foods to feel rewarded. Oh yeah.. and we won't have high tryglicerides, clogged arteries, or be overweight.. that's worth more than a high fat meal.. isn't it?

Danish release of A Caretaker's Tale. 26 October 2012 | By Freja Dam. NEW RELEASE. Katrine Wiedemann's drama "A Caretaker's Tale" opened in Danish cinemas on Thursday 25 October.
The film "walks a fine line between exploitation and creativity, but manages to land on the side of art," says Variety. "Strange and difficult," "fascinating", and "intense" says Danish critics. /media/DADEE7A38E014E6E98F9C33A2C8136D1. ashx?mw=300&bc=white" /%.
"A Caretaker's Tale". Photo: Per Arnesen. Katrine Wiedemann's "A Caretaker's Tale" enjoyed its world premiere last month in San Sebastian. Now the film is released to the Danish audience. The film, about a bitter caretaker who finds a young woman with healing sexual powers, receives a mixed reception by the Danish critics, who award 3-4 stars out of six. "A Caretaker's Tale" is a peculiar film.
I don't want it. 3.2. High Pre-Head. I don't want it. 4. Tail. 4.1. Tail after a Fall. No, sir. 4.2.. My si s ters' names are Margaret and Jocelyn.

" A Caretaker's Tale," the sophomore feature of Danish helmer Katrine Wiedemann, is a provocative parable centered around the bitter, nasty.
A fable of the prodigal modern man's yearning for salvation and hope. But only for themselves. A humanity that has forgotten to think of others, and thus even the sweetest hope has a sour aftertaste," writes Louise Kidde Sauntved from Berlingske and gives 3 stars.

- A Caretaker's Tale (Danish: Viceværten) is a 2012 Danish drama film directed by theatre director Katrine Wiedemann (da) based on a screenplay by Kim Fupz.
"Could hardly be odder… but still stands out as an interesting and different piece in an otherwise increasingly conformist Danish film landscape," writes Frederik Asschenfeldt Vandrup from Metroexpress and gives 4 stars. "A fascinating film that - being so evocative - probably will linger for quite a while," writes BT's Steffen Jungersen and awards 4 stars. "Mikkelsen is outstanding. There is an intense, naked presence in every one of his scenes with the angelic girl," writes Erik Jensen from Politiken and gives 4 stars.
International praise. "A Caretaker's Tale" recently screened at the Chicago International Film Festival, where it got a very good review from Variety's Alissa Simon:. "Playing far better than it describes, and not without humor, this controversial drama, shot in a gritty, handheld style reminiscent of Dogma 95 pics, won't be to all tastes but is certain to generate conversation.
… The screenplay by the prolific, versatile Kim Fupz Aakeson walks a fine line between exploitation and creativity, but manages to land on the side of art…. Wiedemann, better known as a theater helmer, avoids moralizing about the story's premise. Her strong visuals and the spot-on thesping suggest reams of information without words; Mikkelsen is excellent, and Zangenberg is extraordinary and fully exposed in a difficult, wordless role. " Read review. About "A Caretaker's Tale". "A Caretaker's Tale" tells the story of Per, a harsh and bitter caretaker with a lowlife son who just got out of prison and two pathetic friends he bosses around.
One day he discovers a young beautiful woman lying naked in an empty apartment, wrapped in a curtain. Apparently she's up for grabs.
The girl is happy and willing – almost like a gift from above. Per brings her home to his own apartment, and her innocence awakens something new in him and his friends – love perhaps. "A Caretaker's Tale" stars Lars Mikkelsen and Julie Zangenberg. The film is written by Kim Fupz Aakeson and produced by Ib Tardini and Vinca Wiedemann for Zentropa Entertainments with support from The Danish Film Institute.

Several years ago I got the brilliant idea for my wife and I to "get-a-way" from our daughters and have some alone time…just the two of us. Living in Iowa our choices are a little limited as we didn't want to be too far away from home in case an emergency popped up at home, and we didn't wish to spend a ton of cash nor spend the majority of that time driving to and from the eventual destination. Wherever we've ended up we've had a great time.
As with most of me and Connie's vacations we try things that we typically don't do. The first year I surprised her with a chartered fishing trip on Lake Rathbun. She caught a four pound walleye in the first twenty minutes; I fared slightly less.
The second and third year we spent in Cedar Falls, not exactly a wonderfully exciting time…but time spent together…trying out new restaurants…watching movies…reading in our hotel room…real…high…rollers.
This years destination was (wait for it)…Galena, Illinois. There again…nothing too exciting but plenty interesting for me and my bride.
Galena was founded in 1826 and shortly thereafter lead was discovered in the area around Galena. The shout went out "There's lead in them thar hills!!" or probably more like "C'est Thar plomb dans ces collines!" since the area was thick with French at that time (they finally found a place where the British Navy couldn't kick 'em around quite so easily). Anyway, the town of Galena has a lot of old brick buildings and such filled up with a variety of artists, wineries, shops and whatnot. Along the way we stopped in Dubuque, Iowa (home of the world's largest bowl of cereal…I don't know how they keep it from going soggy) and queried our Tom Tom device and it came up with a bar called "The Gastro". It's located in a classy old German bank building.
I had the Gastro Burger, which combines my love of eating as many farm animals in one bite with my love of wonderful food. Mission accomplished.
Connie ordered a wrap with chicken and something else in it but I was way too busy eating the literal "work of art" that I ordered. I love that they're using a classy old bank building in downtown Dubuque, making excellent food with local suppliers. The hamburger bun itself was blue ribbon quality in itself, purchased from a local bakery.
We still had a couplea hours before we could check into our hotel in Galena so we shelled out some dough and meandered through the National Mississippi River Museum and had a good time there. Below is a photo of me recreating a scene from my days as a river barge diver, rasslin' a giant blue catfish. It's lost most of its appeal since the kill-joys at the aquarium refused my repeated requests of getting into the actual tank. I even promised to get 'em another stinkin' catfish if the one I wrassled accidentally died…we're thick in catfish up here in Iowa…literally up to our armpits, oh wait…that's POLITICIANS I'm thinking of…my bad…apologies to the catfish for the defamation of their charector…as it is.
The time had come for us to leave the aquarium (or at least that's what the "rent-a-cop" told me. I was tired of him giving me the "stink-eye" and Connie the "hubba-hubba eye") so we drove further onto Galena and checked into the resort, Eagle Ridge. For supper we visited their restaurant, and normally we order conservatively but this night we went absolutely crazy and ordered…FISH!
Some smarty-pants aquarium "know it all" tour guide thought she'd impress me with some little known facts about otters, like: "Did you know that one square inch of its skin contains more fur folicals than you do on your WHOLE BODY?!" Well, for starters (peering at her name badge) Delores…I don't have fur on my body, I don't scratch my head with my hind foot and lastly…you don't tell a middle-aged man who has an ever-expanding bald spot and receding hair-line something like that. Cripes Delores…get a freakin' clue.
Two meals, four thumbs up. So we waddled our way back to our room where we watched some TV, then a movie. How do you top off a day that's had so many great culinary events in it?
Tune in Sunday for Part Two (of three) of my award-winning series "Eatin' Our Way Eastward." Until then…pass the sea bass and Larry the Cable Guy's Buffalo Wing flavored tater chips. Until then…bein manger mes amis!! (eat well my friends!!)

Can you identify these seeds? They are some of our favorite cover crops. Here's a hint list. Can you match the seed with the picture above?
- Buckwheat
- Daikon Radish
- Crimson Clover
- Hard Red Spring Wheat
Why use cover crops? Here are the benefits of cover crops, in general.
- Weed Suppression
- Erosion Control
- Attracts Beneficial Insects
- Builds Soil Organic Matter
- Increases Moisture Holding Capacity
- Improve Soil Quality
However, each cover crop can have a specialized use. Perhaps you can think of these jars like farmer tools that can be used to fix and maintain the soil. Can you match these uses with the seeds listed above?
- "Bio Drills" tap roots mine up soil nutrients and break up compacted soil.
- "Solar Soil Charger" adds nitrogen to the soil.
- "Speedy Ground Cover" that is a weed suppressor and phosphorus scavenger.
- "Sweet Nutty Berries" that are incredibly appealing on the farmer's table.
Left to Right: Hard Red Spring Wheat are "My Sweet Nutty Berries", Crimson Clover is "My Solar Soil Charger", Daikon Radish are "My Bio Drills" and Buckwheat is "My Speedy Ground Cover". Not-shown: White Mustard is "My Bio Fumigant and Allelopathic Weed Eater"
Thanks for playing along.

Mystery, and a terrible stench, surrounds the discovery of the rotting corpse of an unidentified sea creature on a Spanish beach.
The horned head of the 'monster' was found detached from its 5m long body near Villaricos village in Almeria, with both in an advanced state of decomposition.
An unlucky swimmer found the remains before alerting authorities, who admit they are at a loss to identify it.
'We have no idea what it can be, but it smelled bad, because it was so badly decomposed,' said civil protection coordinator Maria Sanchez.
'A lady found one part, and we helped her retrieve the rest.'
As tests by marine protection society Promar are carried out, speculation is rife that the creature could be a shark or an oarfish.

Viral meningitis symptoms – gothing at cephalic vein
Viral Meningitis Symptoms By the time most of us have lost our taste and lots of our sense of smell. The cornea of the eye is the only portion of our body which has no blood supply. Hair is so strong that if you should build a rope out of it you can lift a car. The tongue is the only muscle in the human anatomy that's loose in one end. The eye remains the same size from birth, however, also the ear and nose never quit growing.
Newborn babies are not able to cry until they are about three weeks old because they can not shed tears. That doesn't stop them from screaming! When you die, your nails and hair seem to grow. This is an illusion caused by the moisture leaving our body causing it to shrivel up. Every human being begins their life outside . This continues for about 30 minutes. Because we grow, because our bones fuse together A new born baby will have about 100 more bones than a fully grown grownup. The thigh bone (Femur) that extends from the pelvis to the knee will be the largest, longest, strongest bone in the human body. The Stapes bone in the ear is the tiniest bone.
By pulling our muscles just operate. They never drive. The heart beats at approximately 100,000 times per day. Each Kidney has over one million tubes( which could measure 64 km (40 mph) should put end to end. The liver is just five times more heavy than the center. Should you lie all of the blood vessels on your body end to end, they'd streetch! Just about all of us have. However there are individuals world wide. HH is the most popular blood type and O is the most typical. The human lungs have the identical surface area. Fingernails grow about twice as fast as toenails. The only thing in life is death!

Hannah has been a regular attendee at Open Kitchen. She is a student studying Occupational Therapy and is interested in using her skills to enrich the lives of asylum seekers who are forced not to take up, continue or practice an occupation of any kind through the rule that they are not allowed to work. This is an interesting area. Someone who has not worked with asylum seekers might wonder what the point would be of practicing Occupational Therapy with people who are not "occupied" in terms of employment and who are legally obliged not to work by the system that they are in. My opinion after working with asylum seekers for 16 years is that they are the ideal group to practise this area with, as unlike other peer groups there are no asylum seekers who are immune to the stresses and strains of the daily routines in which they find themselves. Just as Occupational Therapy can be applied to assist retired people who have finished their working lives, the tools and techniques involved could be employed to assist those that are forced into premature abstinence from occupation for an indefinite period of time.
Today, Hannah came along to Open Kitchen to take part in the "Challenge Hannah" challenge. Hannah opted to do stuffed peppers and there was some discussion in the facebook group as to whether this was in fact Dolma/Dolmeh, in different cultural clothes… It seems to have been agreed that they were in fact different dishes, but none the less brilliant and relished by all in attendance. Hannah used barley and couscous in her stuffing, as well as lots of vegetables. Like the "Jenny Challenge", we were lacking an essential implement, a grater this time, which led to improvisation induced fun, thanks to John 🙂 John also found time to express himself over a coffee and was even seen on top of the piano at one point, but we'll keep that one under wraps. I must also note that Jenny excelled herself once again, using up the remainder of the mincemeat from her challenge in a fruit crumble that also entailed apples, bananas, oats and chocolate covered peanuts – it was well enjoyed Jenny!
We received excellent donations from Seven Hills Bakery on Sharrow Vale Road again this week – whole crates of bananas and carrots and numerous other things that made cooking together even more fun – we really appreciate the fact that they are supporting Open Kitchen.
Open Kitchen's purpose is to support destitute asylum seekers, those in the asylum system and those who have recently received refugee status who are struggling with the change in their circumstances. We also aim to support anyone in the neighbourhood where we operate who is struggling with food poverty and we appreciate that this is not something that discriminates over nationality! We have found increasingly that "born and bred" British people are including themselves in the group and this presents us with a unique opportunity to contribute to cohesion in the local community. The great thing that happens at Open Kitchen is that the traditional "visitor" and "host" roles are often reversed or go out of the window all together. While we strive to create a family atmosphere and are loathe to commersialise events by charging fees for the food and time that we offer people, we could not keep going without the generous donations that some people and businesses elect to offer us and would like to give a special thank you to all of those who have given food, money and time to keep us going.

Acrylic on ipe (a Brazillian hardwood).
These pieces are from a collection that was featured in two shows at Inclusions gallery in San Francisco.
Ipe is incredibly dense and beautiful and, after much sanding, super smooth and fun to touch. I've recently begun experimenting with other types of wood. Clear heart redwood has beautiful grain which adds a whole, other dimension to the work.

So long summer
I couldn't resist and had to use my new polish. I wanted something bright and cheery since it's been cold and gray here this week. I used Essie's Haute As Hello as the base and I looooooooooove it! It's such a gorgeous cheery color. As with all Essie pastel's I have, it needed 3 coats, but application wasn't as bad as usual. I used Essie's Turquoise & Caicos, and Mint Candy Apple for the accents, plus some yellow acrylic paint. Really simple for me, I know. I just don't have the energy for complicated nails all the time!
Like my rings? I got the big butterfly at a convention in Atlanta, at a booth with lots of weird rings. I loved how over the top it was. The one on my thumb belonged to my grandmother. It's set with a real moonstone. It has a matching bracelet but I never wear it, sadly. Anyway, enjoy!
Also.. if anyone can get me a bottle of Milani's Dress Maker, I'll trade/pay you for it. It's like a fucking unicorn around here.

New people are being targeted for Amex Platinum 100K – Check now!
Update: As of now all known working links for the 20K bonus are dead.
Blue Business Plus 20K Bonus Working App
The American Express Blue Business Plus is one of the more compelling products to launch recently. In a world of complicated credit card benefits and earning structures, it makes things easy. The card works as follows:
- You don't pay an annual fee.
- You earn 2X Membership Rewards points on all purchases up to $50,000 in spend per calendar year. Then you earn 1X afterwards.
Related: Blue Business Plus A New King of Business Spend
When the card launched about a month ago, it had a public bonus of 20,000 Membership Rewards points after $3,000 in spend during the first 3 months. Unfortunately, that public bonus seems to have disappeared. As of now the public bonus is a big fat 0.
Thankfully Doctor of Credit has located a "zombie link" that is still working for the 20K bonus. Zombie links sometimes last a long time and sometimes they get shutdown rather quickly.
The above link is not an affiliate link and will take you directly to the American Express website.
Update 6/28/2017 – New Link
The link posted above has been pulled but there again a new link that can still get you the bonus. This should be another reminder that Amex will likely remove this bonus soon.
Should You Apply?
While I can't say whether or not it makes sense for you to apply, I think this card is very compelling and I personally got it within the first week of launch. With 2X everyday earnings it is among my best overall everyday spend cards and I love that it is eligible for Amex Offers as well. Additionally I was able to get the card without a credit check and it won't show on my personal credit report, which is a plus considering things like the Chase 5/24 rule.
Given the fact that American Express regularly adjusts bonuses, I suspect we will see a public bonus for this card again at some point, but probably not very soon. If you were interested in picking up this card soon, you may want to use the link above to lock-in the 20K bonus.

Atma Namaste'
It truly felt miraculous to have the privilege of teaching the Level One Pranic Healing workshop last weekend. The open hearts of the class participants warmed my heart, and marked the beginning of a new phase of my life, that of an instructor of the Art and Science of Pranic Healing. I am humbled and honored to be able to share Grand Master Choa Kok Sui's life work, and I must say that it is thrilling to be a part of the discovery of what is possible in the hearts and minds of others.
This is an exciting time as before the next class on April 18-19, 2015, Access Atlanta will be airing an hour long interview about Pranic Healing! I'll be presenting two Introduction to Pranic Healing FREE Seminars as well! Atlanta is opening its heart to discovering how to use the Laws of Nature to rapidly accelerate the healing of the body! What a great time to be alive!
If you want to be kept abreast of Pranic Healing events throughout Georgia and North Carolina, leave your name and email below! You'll be one of the FIRST folks to know!

John Narvaez and Rayford Hudson, the duo forming JR Entertainment, will gift wrap April's final weekend with a memorable evening of amateur mixed martial arts in Stockton, California.
Since breaking ground in the region on November 5, 2016 at their promotional debut, 209 Beatdown 1, Narvaez and Hudson have been fixtures in Northern California's MMA scene, scouting various venues and selecting the ripest local talent—all in preparation of their upcoming show: 209 Beatdown 2 on April 29, 2017. Don't simply accept NorCal Mixed Martial Arts.com's perspective as media hyperbole; instead, digest the smooth-sounding sentiment of Frank 'The Last Son' Farmer, 209 Beatdown's Welterweight Champion, from Episode 5 of NorCal MMA's Fight Talk (link here). He opened his combination of praise with:
"JR Entertainment: they do a very classy show."
As an experienced amateur with eleven bouts under his belt, the product of Levels MMA, of the numerous cages that housed his brand of violence, orated his pleasure in collaborating with 209 Beatdown's executives:
"I've had lots of fight and been to a lot of venues, and JR Entertainment was definitely one of the more classy places I've been to. They are very professional and very courteous to their fighters."
According to Farmer, equal amounts of effort exhibited by the athletes and the promotion will serve all the stakeholders stuffed inside the Stockton Memorial Civic Auditorium for 209 Beatdown 2 a delightful crop of carnage when the bell frees each corner for combat,
"When promoters are willing to work with the fighters—rather than use the fighters—that's when you have something special because fighters are able to go out there and perform a lot more freely, without any reservations or any of their backs against the wall."
Farmer recalled the mystical brew concocted at 209 Beatdown's inaugural production,
"When you have a fighter that's going out there and having fun; then, you'll get those great match-ups, like mine or like the [209 Beatdown] Featherweight Champion [Chris Burton] and so many other great fights that went on that night [at 209 Beatdown 1]."
Interestingly enough: supportive promoters, such as JR Entertainment, allow the palettes of their contracted killers to demonstrate an array of colorful attacks on their brightly lit canvas, as stated by Farmer before defending his 170-pound strap against Team Quest's Ricardo Flemate,
"It's definitely a good feeling to go out there and have fun, be yourself, and let your martial art take form. To be fighting is definitely an art: it's like telling your story, but in a disciplined form; it's raw emotions taking a life of their own."
Fight fans should plant their passion for MMA around 209 Beatdown's demolition zone on April 29, 2017 to watch the excitement and noise level grow to a crescendo when Farmer goes tilling for a championship tussle—one of four titles finding their rightful owners—at 209 Beatdown 2.

Generally, I'm not the biggest fan of vanilla ice cream. It's not that I dislike it, there are just many more interesting flavors (like rocky road or mocha almond fudge) I'd rather choose. This recipe, however, changes everything…
|the ingredients
|Scrape the vanilla beans from the vanilla pod
|Add the vanilla bean pod to the cream mixture
|Follow the ice cream maker's directions for the freezing process
Vanilla Ice Cream
1 cup whole milk
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 pinch salt
2 cups heavy cream
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 vanilla bean
Make a slit along the length of the vanilla bean, open and scrape the seeds out with the back of a knife. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, using a hand mixer on low speed or a whisk, combine the milk, sugar and salt (until the sugar is dissolved). Stir in the heavy cream, vanilla and vanilla bean seeds. Add the vanilla pod to the mixture. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Remove the vanilla bean pod and add mixture to ice cream maker, being sure to add the seeds that sunk to the bottom of the bowl. Prepare according to manufacturer's instructions. Serve immediately or freeze for 1-2 hours for a firmer consistency.

June's meeting featured presentations on mobile health, which is becoming
an important issue for many providers a special challenge to the
implementation of e-health initiatives across the country.
As wireless technology is becoming more desirable, institutions are faced
with a challenge of supporting multiple wireless solutions because each
software vendor offers a wireless solution to support its own product. So
it is becoming important for institutions to take a global view related to
mobility in healthcare and determine how to offer a single solution for
their users. To address this issue, we had two speakers and a solution
overview. Darren Crane, general manager for Daou system, discussed mobile
health from the provider perspective; and Glenn Roland, founder of VIANETIX
Inc., spoke about mobility in the pharmaceutical industry. There was also a
presentation of a unique mobile solution in high acuity area.

text: Phu Tho (VNA) – The northern province of Phu Tho has terminated an eco-residential area, resort and sports project worth about 1.5 billion USD in Tam Nong district, citing the investor's weak capacity as the reason for this decision. The Dream City project, invested in by the Viet Han Trading – Advertising – Construction – Real Estate Co. Ltd, was granted an investment certificate in January 2010. It was set to build a complex of world-standard residential, eco-tourism and entertainment areas covering 2,050ha, including a golf course, villas, resorts, residential areas, a park, sports facilities, a casino and horse racing tracks. The project was assessed as the biggest investment project in Phu Tho. However, after committing to the project, Viet Han has just carried out site clearance on a very small area. The cleared area has also been abandoned by the business. Phu Tho is taking various measures to promote investment. It attracted five foreign direct investment (FDI) projects worth 14.5 million USD in the first nine months of 2018. It currently houses projects of about 150 FDI firms with total registered capital of 1.1 billion USD. The province aims to attract 5.5 – 6 trillion VND of investment capital from both domestic and foreign investors this year, up 10 – 15 percent from 2017.-VNA

|State Street Crap Game
The importance of gambling to the Mafia cannot be overestimated. It provides the mob with the money and power to set up other operations that the public finds less wholesome such as narcotics dealing and murder.
A case in point, Brooklyn's State Street Crap Game, operated by the mob in the 1930s, financed Murder, Inc., the official mob extermination branch. The game was run in a building just off the busy corner of State and Court Streets in downtown Brooklyn. It was for high rollers, attracting wealthy businessmen, and, at times, even police brass and politicians—who suffered big losses and ended up beholden to the gangsters.
Abe Reles, together with Pittsburgh Phil Strauss, one of the two most important hit men of Murder, Inc., was designated by crime bosses Louis Lepke and Albert Anastasia to be the official shylock of the game.
Reles's underlings would move among the players, wads of money at the ready, making loans at a trifling 20 percent interest—per week. (Mob hit men are seldom if ever paid for any particular murder, but are usually put on a sort of retainer, often consisting of exclusive rights to a certain racket, such as gambling.)
The play per night at the State Street game was usually in excess of $100,000, and Reles's nightly profit from the shylock operation was, by his own estimate, anywhere from $1,000 to $2,000. And the businessmen—compulsive gamblers who ended up paying huge amounts of "or else" interest—never realized they were footing the bill for murder.
When Reles turned stool pigeon concerning Murder, Inc., operations, the authorities cracked down on the State Street game with a subsequent big loss to the mob. However, gambling is the easiest racket to get started anew and with the public, the politicians, the police—up to and including J. Edgar Hoover— claiming gambling was at most a "minor" crime, the mob's loss was hardly irretrievable.

Traditional craft villages in the Mekong Delta province of Dong Thap have revived their practices through innovative and adaptive thinking.
After struggling with chronically unstable income from weaving bamboo traps only sold in the flooding season, households in Hoa Long commune in Lai Vung district decided to make changes to their products to suit a new market.
Locals began producing miniature fishing equipment, such as bamboo mice or fishing traps, to sell as decorative objects or souvenirs. Village resident Nguyen Huu Tho said since then his products have become a hit with local and regional tourists.
The miniatures are produced at lower costs, due to the fewer materials required for their construction, but are sold at the same price as the standard-sized products and reap a good profit, according to Tho.
"I will spend some money on whittling and polishing machines to improve the attractiveness of the products", he said, adding that there is increasing demand in the market for these kinds of products.
Similar successes have also been seen in the shawl-scarf weaving village at Long Khanh A commune in Hong Ngu district.
Previously, village residents could barely eke out a living selling plain bandana scarves, used in daily life.
But the failure to compete against similar products mass-produced in factories forced most families to close their businesses and switch to other livelihoods.
Nguyen Thi Kim Chieu, a resident in the village, learned about consumer tastes at local trade fairs and changed her strategy, producing fashionable scarves in various sizes and colours for both men and women, packaged in appealing boxes.
Chieu said that producing scarves for tourists not only helps her family business thrive but also preserves the village's traditional weaving craft.
Based on these innovative successes, Ngo Quang Tuyen, Deputy Director of Dong Thap's Department of Culture, Tourism and Sports, said the department plans to offer assistance to villages to similarly modify and adapt their products to the modern market.-VNA

Missionary Funding: A Brief Comparison Of Tent Maker and Donor Models. By Kevin E. Jesmer 6-13-15
Missionary Funding: A Brief Comparison Of Tent Maker and Donor Models. By Kevin E. Jesmer 6-13-15
2 Corinthians 9:10-12, "10 He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness.11 You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God. 12 For the ministry of this service is not only supplying the needs of the saints but is also overflowing in many thanksgivings to God." (ESV)
Receiving financial backing for missionaries was very important in the church from the beginning. The early missionaries had solid financial backing. Barnabas had houses and fields that he sold to finance the mission (Acts 4). Paul was backed by the Antioch church as well as all the congregations he founded that partnered with him (Philippians 1:3). Jesus himself had benefactors who followed Him. Luke 8:1-3 reads, "Soon afterward he went on through cities and villages, proclaiming and bringing the good news of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with him, 2 and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, 3 and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's household manager, and Susanna, and many others, who provided for them out of their means." (ESV)
When it comes to raising support for a missionary endeavor, there seems to be two main models, the tent maker model and the donor model. I had come from a ministry that operates by a lay missionary model. It is also called a tent maker model. It is a model inspired by Apostle Paul who worked as a tentmaker. It is a model that empowers the laity of the church to engage in ministry.
"Lay people or laity came from the Greek word "laos" which means "God's people." At the beginning of Christianity, the gospel was spread from Jerusalem, to all Judea and Samaria, and to the Roman world by the scattered lay people (Acts 8:4). As the church grew there was a need for full time clergy who would dedicate their lives to serving the congregation."
Dr. Joseph S. Ahn and Dr. Abraham T. Kim report to KIMNET 2007
There are good things about the tent maker model and also bad things. The good things are that you are not dependent on anyone else for income. You can go to any city that God calls you. You can always be in a position to give. You are not dependent on the resources of the donor pool. You don't have to go on frequent church visits to drum up support. You can also enter a country as a worker, countries that are closed to missionaries. You also have a skill that you can fall back on if you find that you are entering into another season of life and ministry and must stop heading up a ministry. In these ways there seems to be a lot of freedom afforded by the tent maker missionary model.
There are some downfalls of the lay missionary model however. You may find yourself burning the candle from both ends, doing ministry and working. For 14 years, while heading up a house church, and raising a family, I would get 4-6 hours of sleep a day. They rest of the time was work, Bible study, Bible teaching, mentoring and lots and lots of travel. There was limited time to prepare a message to preach on Sunday. I basically had one shot at it. There was no time to receive constructive criticism and start writing again if needed. It was a one shot deal, then clean it up after Sunday, publish it and move onto the next Bible study and of course to the next shift at work. There was not much room for personal choices or preferences. I was always writing and reading things that I needed to write and read, and not necessarily what I wanted to write and read. Living in this kind of tension was hard, but good for me. It stretched me. God increase my capacity and the scope and breadth of my understanding of the Bible. I grew to be able to write about spiritual things. And so I am thankful for the years of being a lay Gospel worker. But as in all things in God's creation, God has ushered in the next season of my life.
There is a more popular missionary model at work in the western church…the model of the supported missionary or the donor model.
I am now coming alongside some missionary families who are operating on a donor model. They are seeking donors to support their mission. Operating under such a model is not a bed of roses. This is an equally as demanding model as the tent maker model. They travel a lot. They give presentations in churches over a distance of 1,500 miles for three years in order to reach their goals. There is a concern about donor fatigue. How many fishing poles can fit into one fishing pond? They also must keep to the agenda that donors agree to give by. It would be very difficult to change the direction of the mission and still keep all of the donors. In that way there may be less freedom to change course. There is also a temptation to fall into the way of thinking, of always receiving material goods and hesitate in giving. It may also be hard to tell the members of the community you are ministering to, to work for a living, when it appears that the missionaries are not.
But, I do see many advantages however. They have more time to engage in ministry. They are giving their presentations to churches, but this is not just asking for donations, it is casting a Gospel vision far and wide. It involves preaching the Gospel wherever they present. It means inspiring others, through their practical, life example, of going to "The ends of the earth" to preach the good news to all creation. Once they reach their salary goals and their first time costs, there must be a great relief in their hearts. But that does not mean that their traveling and their presenting to their far flung group of supporters is over. They will still have to go and nurture those relationships on a regular basis.
I believe that God is using both models in his missionary work today. God is increasingly using tent making missionaries. With the growing population comes an equally growing need for missionaries around the world. The only way to reach the numbers of missionaries required is to incorporate tent making missionaries. (Missions Incredible. Christianity Today. By Rob Moll. March 1, 2006.) But there is also an important place for the donor models. Both models need to be developed and supported. There is even room for both types of models on one mission field, as missionaries co-work as a team.

Sometimes you just need an IP address to be check your internet connection. My current favourite IP address is to use the Google DNS servers. which are the IPv4 addresses 184.108.40.206 and 188.8.131.52.
I have a favourite IP address to ping in Australia at 22.214.171.124 which is the primary name server for the largest carrier in Australia. (And reminds me that latency of 500 milliseconds is normal for some people).
I've also used the servers at OpenDNS 18.104.22.168 and 184.108.40.206. OpenDNS (now owned by Cisco Umbrella business unit) provides a secure and safe DNS service which I recommend that you check out for home and commercial use. Note: Cisco uses DNS data to build a threat database and its highly likely that it sells data.
Cloudflare have a DNS service at 18.104.22.168 and 126.96.36.199. The goal is to have the fastest DNS service possible. Like Google they have a large number of servers around the world that should respond to the PING request (uses AnyCast if you are interested)
Norton Connectsafe also have secure DNS servers for home users at 184.108.40.206 and 22.214.171.124 that respond to ICMP requests. I do not recommend Norton due to very poor track record on basic security.
DNSResolvers.com is another DNS servers 188.8.131.52 and 188.8.131.52 as a free service from EasyDNS.
|IP Address
It should look something like this:
GF:~ etherelamind$ ping 22.214.171.124
PING 188.8.131.52 (184.108.40.206): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 188.8.131.52: icmp_seq=0 ttl=47 time=66.060 ms
64 bytes from 18.104.22.168: icmp_seq=1 ttl=47 time=114.892 ms
64 bytes from 184.108.40.206: icmp_seq=2 ttl=47 time=103.609 ms
--- 22.214.171.124 ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0.0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 66.060/94.854/114.892/20.875 ms
GF:~ gregferro$
If you don't get a response
If you ping these addresses and get an error like this, then there is more than one thing that could be wrong with your connection.
GF:etherealmind$ ping 220.127.116.11
PING 184.108.40.206 (188.8.131.52): 56 data bytes
Request timeout for icmp_seq 0
Request timeout for icmp_seq 1
Request timeout for icmp_seq 2
Request timeout for icmp_seq 3
The most likely problem is that your Internet connection is down or broken. It's also possible that Internet router or firewall is blocking ping packets. Many firewalls do block ping packets by default so this isn't the only test you should do.
Let me know if you have any other favourite places that might be worth adding to the list.
