MONROE COUNTY — The countdown for the new year is on, and if you're planning on watching the sunset on New Year's Day, you may want to turn around. Opposite the setting sun, a supermoon will be low-hanging in the sky and experts say that's the best time to see it.
This is the second supermoon in a three-part sequence. The first happened Dec. 3. If you missed it, Jan. 1 is your chance to see it again. A rare one follows at month's end.
The moon's orbit isn't perfectly circular, nor is the Earth perfectly centered within. Instead, the moon travels in an ellipse that brings it closer to and farther from the Earth. The moon orbits the earth every 27 days.
A supermoon is when the moon is closest to the Earth on its orbit. The moon's closest orbit point, called the perigee, is 30,000 miles nearer to Earth than its further point, apogee. The average distance between the two bodies is 238,900 miles.
"Sometimes the moon is a little closer and sometimes it's a little farther away. This happens every few years, it's not highly unusual. The thing about this supermoon is that the three events are so close together," said James Webb, P.h.D., physics professor at Florida International University in Miami. "I don't know when the next time this will occur, but probably a while."
"It just so happens the way things are moving right now, we're at the perigee," Webb said.
On Jan. 1, the moon will rise out of the east and be straight overhead at midnight as all full moons are. When it's a full moon, the sun and the moon are always at 180 degrees apart, according to FIU physics professor Caroline Simpson, Ph.D.
According to NASA, the moon will appear 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter, but experts' opinions vary on this.
"There is nothing super about the supermoon," Simpson said. "It's nominally larger than other times. It's nice that it gets people thinking about it, though, and they do tend to come in triples."
Webb estimates the supermoon to be about 18 percent closer to Earth, not a huge amount. He said that people perceive it as much bigger especially when it's on the horizon, or just rising.
"The supermoon will be up all night long. As the sun sets the moon will be on the horizon and that is the best time to see it because it's an optical illusion," Webb said.
The moon appears bigger on the horizon since, visually, there are objects to compare it to.
For the grand finale in the moon trilogy, mark your calendars for Jan. 31, when the sun, moon and Earth will be perfectly aligned. It will be a super blue moon eclipse, but you have to get up early to see it.
A blue moon isn't actually blue. The name refers it being the second full moon in the calendar month, which is rare as it happens only once every 2.5 years.
This blue moon will be a supermoon, which, as it enters the Earth's shadow, will appear red from light reflecting off Earth since red has the longest wavelengths.
"It's going to be a moon bonanza," Webb said.
Webb added that he'd like to dispel the myth that the gravitational pull of the moon affects human behavior.
"It just gives us a nice show," he said.
Simpson agrees this is a rare celestial event, a super blue lunar eclipse. Unfortunately, we'll have only a brief glimpse.
"We aren't well-placed to see it [the eclipse] here," she said. "The moon is going to start entering the moon's umbra, or darkest shadow, around 6:45 a.m. It's going to set at 7:02. So there will be about 15 minutes there to see it turn red from 6:45 to 7 a.m. If you have a clear view of the western horizon, you will see the partial eclipse as the moon sets."

Boise State Football
Boise State football focuses on stopping option early and often
It should come as no surprise to anyone watching the Boise State football team the past two seasons that it needs to improve on defending Air Force and New Mexico's option offenses.
The Broncos are 1-3 in their past four games against the Falcons and Lobos, losing to both last season and yielding 36.3 points per game in those four matchups.
With that in mind, Boise State has put in plenty of work this spring on the option.
"It's a lot more than we have before," defensive coordinator Andy Avalos said.
Following Saturday's scrimmage, Avalos said the final week of spring practices, which conclude Monday following Saturday's Spring Game, have been spent looking at ways to slow down the option. Junior quarterback Tommy Stuart has been the primary man taking the snaps against the first-team defense, junior linebacker Joe Martarano said.
"It's been a big point of emphasis, the most we've worked on it since I've been here, which I think is something we needed," he said.
Coaches hope working on the option this spring will have a residual effect.
"It's a different deal," Boise State coach Bryan Harsin said. "... It's something where spending time on it and doing it a little bit, you have a chance to tweak it, and have some things on film for the guys to look at in the summer. When it does get to the games, those are different styles. You have really three days to prepare for it (game week). If you can sprinkle some of that in throughout, it's going to have hopefully a better effect when you recall it during that week."
Though the offense no doubt must hold up its end of the bargain against those teams, not turning the ball over or giving the ball back quickly, the defense is fired up to show it can defend the tricky offensive system.
"We're improving a lot. You can see it on film. I think we're doing a really good job with it, getting on it early so we can take it to them during the season," sophomore linebacker Leighton Vander Esch said.
NCAA rule against satellite camps could hurt Broncos
Another head-scratching move from the NCAA came Friday when it announced football teams' satellite camps will be ended immediately.
The camps were used by schools in key recruiting areas to allow them to evaluate high school players in their home area, also helping the potential recruits who may not be able to afford to fly to the school for their hosted camps or for unofficial visits. Now, schools can only host camps on their campus. The Broncos' camp will be held in June.
Boise State had scheduled at least six satellite camps this summer in California, Texas, Washington, Oregon and Utah.
Two years ago, the Broncos held their first such camp in Texas, and last summer had a pair in California. Among those that passed through the Broncos' camp in Long Beach was defensive back DeAndre Pierce, who signed in February.
"That's how I got Boise State and how you can expose yourself to college coaches without paying expenses. Stupid," he tweeted.
A big winner in the ruling, as usual, is the SEC and most southern-based power conferences, which had raised complaints last year when Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh and staff held camps in Alabama, Florida, Texas, Indiana, Pennsylvania and California. Surprisingly, the Mountain West voted to end satellite camps, according to ESPN's Brett McMurphy.
Last May, Harsin was supportive of satellite camps when asked about it soon after the Harbaugh story gained steam.
"It's a good idea, because it's easier for us to get to areas than it is for everybody to get to us," Harsin said. "I understand not every conference does it, so there are issues for some coaches ... it gives us an opportunity to get out and work with other coaches. If it changes and everybody's on the same page, then you're back to where it was, trying to bring people to your campus, which ultimately is what we want to do, it just isn't always feasible."
At 'steak' in the spring game
Boise State's spring game kicks off at 5 p.m. Saturday at Albertsons Stadium. The offense will take on the defense. The winning team gets a steak dinner, the losing team gets foil-wrapped hot dogs. The game will consist of four 10-minute quarters. Following a 12-minute halftime, the third and fourth quarters will feature a running clock.
Here is the scoring system:
6 points — touchdown; 3 points — field goal; 3 points — fourth down conversion; 2 points — 20-plus-yard play; 1 point — PAT
6 Points — touchdown; 3 Points — turnover; 3 points — fourth down stop; 2 Points — three-and-out; 2 Points — sack; 1 Point — field goal inside red zone

Experience the holiday's at Macy's!/
Happy December, friends! It's the most wonderful time of the year and this week I'm sharing all the fun & festive happenings in the Seattle area, starting with the holiday experience at Macy's downtown Seattle.
Last week, we took Tayler to see the Train Window at Macy's on 4th and Olive. It's such a fun thing to do with the littles. It's all set up with twinkle lights and they can even operate the train just by putting their hand on the window. So sweet to see their faces light up with excitement! Macy's Train Window has become a multi-generational holiday tradition in Seattle for 72 years now and something we can't wait to do every year!
Afterwards, we went to take pictures with Santa at the Macy's Santa Land located at the downtown Seattle location on the 2nd floor. Right next to Santa there is Holiday Lane which houses all the Christmas decorations! I promised Tayler an ornament for her tree and she had so much fun picking one out because they had an amazing selection! I was a little nervous about how she would react with Santa because a few days prior she acted like she wanted to see him but then freaked out the minute we got close. This Santa was amazing! He was very calming and offered to have Tayler sit on his lap so he could read her a book. This totally put her at ease and although we couldn't get her to smile for the pictures, at least she wasn't screaming and crying like last year, LOL. I highly recommend this location for Santa pictures if you're looking for pictures for your little ones. And, as an added bonus: there was no line! This was a huge selling point for us, because who wants to wait in line for an hour, especially with a busy toddler!
Thank you for having us, Macy's Seattle! If you aren't in the Seattle area, make sure to check out your local Macy's for details on their holiday activities!

OhSoy! Soy Candles - to infinity......and beyond!
To take OhSoy! soy candles to the next level we need to upgrade our manufacturing equipment to keep up with demands to keep us growing.
OhSoy! Soy Candles - to infinity......and beyond!
To take OhSoy! soy candles to the next level we need to upgrade our manufacturing equipment to keep up with demands to keep us growing.
To quote my favorite Toy Story character.....To Infinity…. and Beyond is where I want to take the OhSoy! soy candle brand…. But how did I get to this point?? Here's how it all started….
Being a candle addict, it was only fitting that I received a candle kit from my husband for Christmas. Putting my candle creativity to work right away I began making my own hand poured candles. The kit came with a slab of paraffin wax, so the first candles made were paraffin ones. Not long after it was discovered that my candle burning habit had left a gross layer of soot on my living room ceiling as well as under my cabinets in the kitchen. This was very distressing and the idea of never burning candles again was not even an option ….
So we began researching other wax alternatives. This is how OhSoy! began. We discovered that soy wax is a cleaner burning alternative to paraffin. Soy wax is a lot more finicky to work with than paraffin and much testing was required in order to find the right wax, the right wicks and the best strong smelling fragrances. Now my fun little hobby could feed my candle addiction and not cover my house with nasty soot. I was having a blast making soy candles for everyone as gifts for every occasion. My chiropractor was one of the people that received some OhSoy! soy candles for Christmas and she was immediately hooked. She asked if I would consider selling some to her and that is when she became my very first customer.
With OhSoy! as the candle brand we needed to come up with a company name and that's when we created Things That Make Scents… This spiraled into an Ebay store and then to a real website with a shopping cart. While still working my full time job, over the years we were able to grow not only our online sales but acquired many wholesale accounts… fast forward to 2006 and I had pretty much taken over the entire kitchen in my house and turned it into a soy candle factory. It was at this time that we decided that we would look around for some retail space. We figured that we can have a retail store in the front and I can move the candle factory and work in the back. I was pouring candles like crazy and still working a demanding full time job. It was time to take a leap of faith, quit the day job and bring the reality of the Things That Make Scents retail store & OhSoy! Candle factory to life.
We opened our doors on March 3, 2007… it was a great day and we were blown away with all the support from friends, family & the community.
We continued to grow and grow over the next five years and celebrated our 5th year anniversary with a big party. It was a wonderful day that I will never forget!
On October 29, 2012 our dream was almost gone forever when Hurricane Sandy slammed New Jersey. We had over 3 ½ feet of water rolling though our retail store/factory causing great damage and thousands of dollars of loss. I was devastated when I walked through the store and witnessed all the damage and destruction to something that I had built from the ground up.
Without any flood insurance to help cover the losses, we were not sure that we would ever be able to get back open. After spending days with no power, dragging out all the wet, smelly, damaged stuff to the garbage, we were able to better assess the actual damage. After 2 ½ weeks we got power back and slowly started to regain hope that we could get back open and try to salvage the holiday season, which happens to be our busiest time of the year. Sadly we lost about 75% of our holiday merchandise but at least I was able to get back to the factory and start pour candles again and we were able to open up the day before thanksgiving.
The next year after Sandy still came with many challenges as pretty much our whole area was impacted by Sandy in some way or another. Business didn't pick back up as quickly as we hoped. Many of our customers lost their homes completely or suffered severe damage and they had to relocate. Then the following year came with yet another challenge for me with the quick but amicable divorce from my husband and business partner, which now left me running Things That Make Scents alone.
So that's how it all started and here is why I need your help....
All of our soy candles are hand poured using a 150 lb wax melter and 4 lb pouring pots. Aside from keeping the retail store well stocked with OhSoy! Soy candles, we sell them online at our website and as of this year I have 3 outside sales reps out on the road. The busier we get the more difficult it gets pouring small batches to keep up with all the orders. I want to continue to grow the OhSoy! brand but given the current state of the equipment I have to work with it's really hindering that growth.
After researching many options, I realized that a machine called the Mark VIII is the best solution and just what I need to move forward, full speed ahead. I will be able to pour thousands of candles per day instead of barely 100.
You can check out the video of how this machine works. The video is for the Mark VII which was the last version but the Mark VIII does the same thing.
Thanks to Kickstarter, here's where you come in… this machine is approx. $21,000 so with your generosity and much appreciated support I can purchase this time & cost saving machine and pour our OhSoy! Soy candles faster and more efficiently which will allow me to keep up with the demand of our growing brand. I have only 1 part time employee now but can't wait to hire more as we continue to get bigger & bigger.
The goal of $25,000 will allow me to cover.......
Purchase of MarkVIII including shipping ($20,884.36)
Purchase of soy wax & jars to make 1000's of candles per day
Backer rewards and shipping costs
Kickstarter and credit card processing fees
We have set up some great rewards for your support. And since OhSoy! soy candles have been in production for many, many years now, filling the rewards will be no problem!
If we should happen to go over our goal amount that would be amazing and the extra would come in handy to purchase additional supplies and materials to allow us to pour 1000's and 1000's of candles a day and keep our operation running smoothly.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you might have.
You can checkout our websites.
And to keep up with all the things going on around here, you can following me on Facebook, Instagram & Twitter
Thanks in advance for your time & support!
Risks and challenges
There are really no risks or challenges for us if we are able to successfully complete our Kickstarter project. Our risks and challenges are there if we do not reach our goal and are unable to upgrade our equipment. Keeping up with the growing demand and making sure the OhSoy! soy candle factory is running smoothly is crucial to the continued success of the OhSoy! brand.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

I managed to get to the Javits Center by 11am. I headed over to the Todd McFarlane booth, and by the time I found it, the autograph line was way too long. I then went over to the CarLister booth to get a free poster capsule. Once I acquired it, I went to Artist Alley. I looked for Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez and Jerry Ordway to get their autographs, but they weren't in. I did stop by the nearby Hero Initiative table and bought a Hero Initiative pin (I also gave a donation to help comic veterans in need). I then went to Klaus Janson's table to get my DKIII: The Master Race poster (which I had gotten for free near the Batman v. Superman statues) autographed. I also bought a Daredevil: End of Days graphic novel from Janson (who also drew a sketch inside and autographed it). I stopped by the Nerd Glam table to see cosplayer Ireland Reid, who debuted a new Poison Ivy cosplay outfit (complete with lights!). After taking some pics, I headed back to the show floor, where I bought a Spider-Man wallet and, at the Plymptoons booth, an autographed copy of Bill Plympton's Cheatin' on blu-ray. I then left the Javits Center and headed over to the Hammerstein Ballroom for the Ash vs. Evil Dead panel.
After the extremely enjoyable Ash vs. Evil Dead panel (which included a screening of the pilot episode), I returned to the Javits Center and headed over to the Ash vs. Evil Dead trailer. After waiting on a long line, I finally got in. The inside was a recreation of Ash's actual trailer from the show, including his axe and workshop tools (which, of course, included his chainsaw). I took some pics and one of the vendors took a couple of pics with me wielding the chainsaw and sawed-off shotgun. Before I left the trailer area, I picked up an Ash vs. Evil Dead button. I went inside the Javits Center and went back to the show floor. I stopped by to say hello to cosplayer Sarah Russi at her booth. After a brief chat, I went over to the Gemr booth to buy an autographed Jessica Nigri print (I went with her Harley Quinn print). She even posed for a picture with me afterward. At the Lightning Bottleneck booth, I bought a vampire Batman print, and at the Fampart booth I bought a gorgeous Evil Dead 2 poster.
After seeing a flyer advertising that Paris Themmen (Mike Teevee from 1971's Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory) had a table at NY Comic Con, I went to find it, and after doing so, bought an autographed still and Golden Ticket from him as well as get my picture taken with him. Afterward, I accidentally stumbled upon the Poisonous Pinups booth, where I met the very friendly Ophelia Rain (a model, actress, and porn star). I bought an autographed copy of Old Nick magazine with her on the cover. I even got to take a picture with her. As I headed out, I took some more cosplay pics (including some pics of the Delorean from Back To the Future) and then left. That was my Saturday at this year's NY Comic Con.

Amaechi Refutes Protesting Delay of His Screening
THE immediate past governor of Rivers State, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, has dismissed a report in a national daily that he stormed the residence of the Senate President Bukola Saraki to protest the rescheduling of his screening and confirmation as a minister.
Amaechi said the report published on Monday had claimed that having been incensed over the deferment of his screening last week, he went to Saraki's house on Thursday last week and raised his voice to express his frustration before leaving the place without seeing the Senate President.
The former governor, who spoke through a statement signed by Mr. David Iyofor on behalf of his Media Office, described the report as untrue and an attempt to present him as a man with a bad and demeaning mannerism.
Amaechi specifically pointed out that he was never at Saraki's residence on Thursday last week and added that he would never act in any way that would put the Office of the Senate President in disrepute.
According to him, "The report, which the respected newspaper got from 'sources', further claimed that during the visit of Thursday, last week, Amaechi was said to have raised his voice to express his frustration before leaving the residence without seeing the Senate President.
"This is absolutely not true. There is a deliberate and carefully calibrated attempt to characterise Amaechi with a very bad and demeaning mannerism. We must clarify that Mr. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi did not visit and was not at the residence of the Senate President on Thursday of last week.
"Since he (Amaechi) did not go to the residence of the Senate President on Thursday of last week, so, there is absolutely no way what the newspaper sources claimed to have transpired, happened.
"We must emphasized that former Governor Amaechi holds the office of the President of the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in very high esteem and will never disrespect or act in any way that would put the office in disrepute. However, in this case, the incident reported never occurred either on Thursday or any other day."
The former governor, however, attributed the alleged false report to the activities of fifth columnists posing as journalists, whose aim was to malign and destroy people's reputation and create bad blood in the polity.
Amaechi said, "While we understand the constraints and pressures journalists face in doing their jobs, we would advise them to be thorough and double-check or even triple-check their sources of information.
"There seems to exist an axis of fifth columnists, masquerading as 'sources' to journalists, but fabricate events, incidences and stories that never happened to malign and destroy the character and reputation of others, while fomenting acrimony and bad blood in the polity. Journalists must beware of such sources."

Limburger Cheese and Bicycle Helmets
Recently, I was in Monroe, WI. Location of the only cheese maker in the USA that produces Limburger cheese. My friends and I order a round of Limburger and onion sandwiches. I thought it was really gross in taste, texture and smell. Enough so that I only ate 2 bites.
Moving on ...
(PhysOrg.com) -- Cycle helmets are available in a wide range of types, including foldable models, models fitted with a flashing rear light or featuring an iPhone display. In future, they will start to smell distinctively if they need to be replaced. A new process causes odoriferous oils to exude from plastic materials if they are cracked.

THE EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE HEBREWS - Chapter 1 - Verse 2
Verse 2. Hath in these last days. In this the final dispensation; or in this dispensation under which the affairs of the world will be wound up. Phrases similar to this occur frequently in the Scriptures. They do not imply that the world was soon coming to an end, but that that was the last dispensation, the last period of the world. There had been the patriarchal period, the period under the law, the prophets, etc., and this was the period during which God's last method of communication would be enjoyed, and under which the world would close. It might be a very long period, but it would be the last one; and, so far as the meaning of the phrase is concerned, it might be the longest period, or longer than all the others put together, but still it would be the last one. See Barnes "Ac 2:17"; See Barnes "Isa 2:2".
Spoken unto us. The word "us" here does not of necessity imply that the writer of the epistle had actually heard him, or that they had heard him to whom the epistle was written. It means that God had now communicated his win to man by his Son. It may be said, with entire propriety, that God has spoken to us by his Son, though we have not personally heard or seen him. We have what he spoke, and caused to be recorded, for our direction.
By his Son. The title commonly given to the Lord Jesus, as denoting his peculiar relation to God. It was understood, by the Jews, to denote equality with God, (See Barnes "Joh 5:18"; comp. See Barnes "Joh 10:33,36, ) and is used with such a reference here. See Barnes "Ro 1:4, where the meaning of the phrase "Son of God" is fully considered. It is implied here, that the fact, that the Son of God has spoken to us, imposes the highest obligations to attend to what he has said; that he has authority superior to all those who have spoken in past times; and that there will be peculiar guilt in refusing to attend to what he has spoken. See Heb 2:1-4; comp. Heb 12:25. The reasons for the superior respect which should be shown to the revelations of the Son of God may be such as these:—-
(1.) His rank and dignity. He is: the equal with God, (Joh 1:1,) and is himself called God in this chapter, Heb 1:8. He has a right, therefore, to command, and when he speaks men should obey.
(2.) The clearness of the truths which he communicated to man, on a great variety of subjects, that are of the highest moment to the world. Revelation has been gradual—like the breaking of the day in the east. At first there is a little light; it increases and expands till objects become more and more visible, and then the sun rises in full-orbed glory. At first we discern only the existence of some object—- obscure and undefined; then we can trace-its outline; then its colour, its size, its proportions, its drapery—till it stands before us fully revealed. So it has been with revelation. There is a great variety of subjects which we now see clearly, which were very imperfectly understood by the teaching of the prophets, and would be now if we had only the Old Testament. Among them are the following:—
(a.) The character of God. Christ came to make him known as a merciful Being, and to show how he could be merciful as well as just. The views given of God by the Lord Jesus are far more clear than any given by the ancient prophets; compared with those entertained by the ancient philosophers, they are like the sun compared with the darkest midnight.
(b.) The way in which man may be reconciled to God, The New Testament— which may be considered as that which God "has spoken to us by his Son" —has told us how the great work of being reconciled to God can be effected. The Lord Jesus told us that he came to "give his life a ransom for many;" that he laid down his life for his friends; that he was about to die for man; that he would draw all men to him. The prophets indeed— particularly Isaiah —threw much light on these points. But the mass of the people did not understand their revelations. They pertained to future events—always difficult to be understood. But Christ has told us the way of salvation; and he has made it so plain, that he who runs may read.
(c.) The moral precepts of the Redeemer are superior to those of any and all that had gone before him. They are elevated, pure, expansive, benevolent—such as became the Son of God to proclaim. Indeed, this is admitted on all hands. Infidels are constrained to acknowledge, that all the moral precepts of the Saviour are eminently pure and benignant. If they were obeyed, the world would be filled with justice, truth, purity, and benevolence. Error, fraud, hypocrisy, ambition, wars, licentiousness, and intemperance, would cease; and the opposite virtues would diffuse happiness over the face of the world. Prophets had indeed delivered many moral precepts of great importance, but the purest and most extensive body of just principles and of good morals on earth are to be found in the teachings of the Saviour.
(d.) He has given to us the clearest view which man has had of the future state; and he has disclosed, in regard to that future state, a class of truths of the deepest interest to mankind, which were before wholly unknown or only partially revealed.
1. He has revealed the certainty of a state of future existence—in opposition to the Sadducees of all ages. This was denied, before he came, by multitudes; and where it was not, the arguments by which it was supported were often of the feeblest kind. The truth was held by some—like Plato and his followers—but the arguments on which they relied were feeble, and such as were unfitted to give rest to the soul. The truth they had obtained by TRADITION; the arguments were THEIR OWN.
2. He revealed the doctrine of the resurrection of the body. This before was doubted or denied by nearly all the world. It was held to be absurd and impossible. The Saviour taught its certainty; he raised up more than one to show that it was possible; he was himself raised, to put the whole matter beyond debate.
3. He revealed the certainty of future judgment—the judgment of all mankind.
4. He disclosed great and momentous truths respecting the future state. Before he came, all was dark. The Greeks spoke of Elysian fields, but they were dreams of the imagination; the Hebrews had some faint notion of a future state, where all was dark and gloomy, with perhaps an occasional glimpse of the truth that there is a holy and blessed heaven; but to the mass of mind, all was obscure. Christ revealed a heaven, and told us of a hell. He showed us that the one might be gained, and the other avoided. He presented important motives for doing it; and, had he done nothing more, his communications were worthy the profound attention of mankind. I may add,
(3.) That the Son of God has claims on our attention from the MANNER in which he spoke, He spoke as one having "authority," Mt 7:29. He spoke as a witness of what he saw and knew, Joh 3:11. He spoke without doubt or ambiguity of God, and heaven, and hell. His is the language of one who is familiar with all that he describes; who saw all, who knew all. There is no hesitancy or doubt in his mind of the truth of what he speaks; and he speaks as if his whole soul were impressed with its unspeakable importance. Never were so momentous communications made to men of hell as fell from the lips of the Lord Jesus, (See Barnes "Mt 23:33"
;) never were announcements made so fitted to awe and appall a sinful world.
Whom he hath appointed heir of all things. See Ps 2:8; comp. See Barnes "Ro 8:17".
This is language taken from the fact that he is "the SON of God." If a Son, then he is an heir —for so it is usually among men. This is not to be taken literally, as if he inherits anything as a man does. An heir is one who inherits anything after the death of its possessor—usually his father. But this cannot be applied in this sense to the Lord Jesus. The language is used to denote his rank and dignity as the Son of God. As such, all things are his, as the property of the father descends to his son at his death. The word rendered heir— klhronomov—means, properly,
(1.) one who acquires anything by lot; and
(2.) an heir in the sense in which we usually understand the word. It may also denote a possessor of anything received as s portion, or of property of any kind. See Ro 4:13,14. It is, in every instance, rendered heir in the New Testament. Applied to Christ, it means that, as the Son of God, he is possessor or lord of all things, or that all things are his. Comp. Ac 2:36; 10:36; Joh 17:10; 16:15. "All things that the Father hath are mine." The sense is, that all things belong to the Son of God. Who is so rich, then, as Christ? Who so able to endow his friends with enduring and abundant wealth?
By whom. By whose agency; or who was the actual agent in the creation. Grotius supposes that this means, "on account of whom;" and that the meaning is, that the universe was formed with reference to the Messiah, in accordance with an ancient Jewish maxim, But the more common and classical usage of the word rendered by, (dia,) when it governs a genitive, as here, is to denote the instrumental cause; the agent by which anything is done. See Mt 1:22; 2:5,15,23; Lu 18:31; Joh 1:17
Ac 2:22,43; 4:16; 12:9; Ro 2:16; 5:5.
It may be true that the universe was formed with reference to the glory of the Son Of God, and that this world was brought into being in order to show his glory; but it would not do to establish that doctrine on a passage like this. Its obvious and proper meaning is, that he was the agent of the creation—a truth that is elsewhere abundantly taught. See Joh 1:3,10; Col 1:16; Eph 3:9; 1 Co 8:6.
This sense, also, better agrees with the design of the apostle in this place. His object is to set forth the dignity of the Son of God. This is better shown by the consideration that he was the Creator of all things, than that all things were made for him.
The worlds. The universe, or creation. So the word here— aiwn—is undoubtedly used in Heb 11:3. The word properly means age—an indefinitely long period of time; then perpetuity, ever, eternity—always being. For an extended investigation of the meaning of the word, the reader may consult an essay by Prof. Stuart, in the Spirit of the Pilgrims, for 1829, pp. 406—452. From the sense of age, or duration, the word comes to denote the present and future age; the present world, and the world to come; the present world, with all its cares, anxieties, and evils; the men of this world—a wicked generation, etc. Then it means the world —the material universe—creation as it is. The only perfectly clear use of the word in this sense in the New Testament is in Heb 11:3, and there there can be no doubt. "Through faith we understand that the worlds were made by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear." The passage before us will bear the same interpretation, and this is the most obvious and intelligible. What would be the meaning of saying that the ages or dispensations were made by the Son of God? The Hebrews used the word—
—olam—in the same sense. It properly means age, duration; and thence it came to be used by them to denote the world—made up of ages or generations; and then the world itself. This is the fair, and, as it seems to me, the only intelligible interpretation of this passage—an interpretation amply sustained by texts referred to above, as demonstrating that the universe was made by the agency of the Son of God Comp. See Barnes "Heb 1:10, and See Barnes "Joh 1:3".

Hi everyone!
Well The Boy turned 1 and I survived it. Big week, first birthday, first haircut, first taste of cake and ice cream. And I got it all on camera. Actually, pictures are still on the memory card, I have not downloaded them yet. I will get around to it in the next few days. His "fans" are already pressuring me to upload. This got me thinking about what people do with their photos.
What do you do with your pictures? Are they still on your camera's memory card? My sister is always borrowing memory cards because she fills up her own. Does this happen to you? Are your pictures stuck in memory card purgatory? I used to suffer from that syndrome but once I started over photographing The Boy, I started to run out of memory card space quickly, especially with high res photos. I still do sometimes, but I eventually get around to storing my photos online.
I'm glad that Baby Daddy invested in a flickr account for us. It's the best way for me to store, organise and share my photos with family and friends, especially those who live far away. It links to my Facebook account to it is very very very easy to access. The Boy has a lot of fans around the world who want constant updates on his shenanigans. I also have a YouTube account (free). Sometimes, only a video will do.
Storing my pictures and videos online has changed the way I share them too. I now have virtual wallet photos. My phone has an option to link directly to my Facebook account. Instead of carrying around printed photos, I can access them online so I always have the most recent photos to show off. I think that's pretty neat. Don't you? My lingo may be out-dated but my photos aren't!

Won't You Be My Neighbor?/
Article featured in the Residential Specialist Magazine
Won't you be my neighbor?
Imagine a grown-up version of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood, and that's what Roger Morris, CRS, REALTOR® with Coldwell Banker Bain in Seattle, has done. "I wanted to do more than post property videos, which is what a lot of agents do," Morris explains. "So I had this idea for On the Road with Roger. I'm in my car with a videographer, driving through different Seattle neighborhoods, and I talk about what makes the neighborhood unique." The key, Morris emphasizes, is that "the neighborhood has star billing and I'm on camera a limited amount."
- Each video follows a four-part template and a two-minute limit.
- Morris identifies himself and where he works.
- The featured neighborhood is geographically identified.
- Brief vignettes zoom in on unique neighborhood attributes.
- Not everything is filmed from the car. "For a portion of each video, I try to be out of the car, showing unique features of that neighborhood. I usually start and end the video from inside the car, and in between I am showing the lake, park or neighborhood feature, being part on-camera, part off-camera," Morris says.

New Court Filing Fees Not Yet Enforced
The Rules of Court 2012 comes into force today. However, the increase in filing fees does not take effect from today. Order 1 Rule 1(3) of the Rules makes that very very clear. Although Order 91 and Appendix B1 and B2 refer to the new scale of filing fees, Order 91 will only take effect when the same is gazetted at a later date. The understanding we have is that it will take effect on the same day as the Subordinate Courts (Amendment) Act 2010.
There have already been reports that the counter clerks in some states are imposing the new filing fees. Please check your respective state courts and ensure that they are not doing this. Please ask them to contact Puan Hamidah Mohd Deril at 03-6209 4073 for clarification. She has informed me that she has notified all state courts.

You wake up on a rainy morning and surprisingly you realize that you have more time than you thought as you woke up early. As long as you're not in a hurry, you think it's a great chance to go and taste a good coffee, instead of the one that you always prepare at home and that it turns outs always bit watery and that you take just from habit.
So you take your umbrella and head to that coffee shop around the corner just a minute away from your apartment. Continue reading

Offering the college community increased fitness and recreational opportunities, this facility also supports local health-care providers through the establishment of physician offices and rehabilitation services. Nursing and allied health educational opportunities are a key component of the project.
Developed in 1997 as a joint effort between Mississippi College and Mississippi Baptist Medical Center, the Baptist Healthplex combines the concept of physical fitness, the science of medicine, and a recreational environment.
This 106,000-square-foot facility supports the health of their community by providing rehabilitation services and physician offices. An emergent nursing curriculum provides continued educational opportunities in allied health, further benefiting the entire growing community. The Healthplex also promotes an emphatic shift in the students' perceptions of athletics from a solely competitive-based experience to a desire to engage in fitness and wellness throughout their lifetime.
The facility's 79,000-square-foot health club offers its members state-of-the-art amenities including:
Through its unique relationship with Baptist Health Systems, the Healthplex supplements its fitness programs with hospital-supported educational programs such as arthritis aquatics and diabetes management. A teaching kitchen was also incorporated to educate students and the community about the importance of good nutrition.
A towering climbing wall welcomes visitors as they enter and was designed as the hub for the entire facility. It creates entryways to locker areas, the social lounge, and retail area. A panoramic view of the entire facility is available from the second floor, further complimenting its design and creating an exciting, energetic environment for students, faculty, staff, and the community alike.

My kids are getting bored with my snack response "fruit or veggies and protein". So, I'm trying to make them some special goodies here and there to keep things exciting. I don't want to be "that" mom who never gives her kids chocolate chip cookies. 🙂
So- I made chocolate chip cookies using Elana's recipe. I didn't change a thing and they are DELISH.
Then, I decided to make a chocolate "larabar" since the kids love larabars but Mama doesn't love the price ($1.49 x5 for one snack? No thank you!). I based them on this recipe over at The Paleo Mom with a few modifications.
I used 20 Medjool dates, pitted and soaked in hot water for a few minutes. I used a total of 2 cups of nuts/seeds, this batch has cashews, pecans, & sunflower seeds as that's what I had on hand. I added a bit more cacao. The mixture wasn't really clumping, so I decided to add about 1/2 cup of coconut oil. Then I pressed it into a 9×9 inch glass baking dish and topped with some chocolate chips (pressed into the bars). I placed the pan in the refrigerator to cool until the kids got home. They were almost too hard to cut, so note to self, allow to warm slightly in the future. I called them "no bake brownies" because my kids may balk if they need it was dates and nuts. All five kiddos loved them.
In other news, aren't these the cutest shoes ever? I found them on Zulily for my
naughty darling eight year old.

Hawaiian Health Arts Programs Introduced to the Upstate
Kaleo Wheeler, owner of HeartFull Connections, is pleased to introduce programs from the Hawaiian Healing Arts to residents of the Upstate. Two programs are being offered at this time: Living with Aloha: A Women's Path to Empowerment Program and Hawaiian Hula (not to be confused with the popular Tahitian dance form).
Wheeler, an ordained spiritual minister and Hawaiian Cultural Awareness consultant, explains, "Aloha: A Women's Path to Empowerment" is a coaching program and step-by-step tool for women who are the nurturers and foundation of the family. It helps women embody their power and enjoy a better self-image, bringing strength and harmony to the family. Aloha is about learning unconditional love, understanding, forgiveness and acceptance, and fosters spiritual partnerships through Ohana: helping individuals to live their fullest potential."
Hawaiian Hula is a moving meditation and a form of ancient storytelling. The program aids women to "step out of the daily Pilikia (trauma and drama) that is so much a part of today's world, helping them free the mind, experience better health, and improve body image and self-esteem."
"As women speak up for themselves over sexual harassment issues, it's important to support more women in achieving the confidence to express who they are honestly, and to create a peaceful coexistence in all their relationships," states Wheeler.
Wheeler's coaching program is offered through private sessions in Spartanburg and is available through teleconference trainings and workshops. Hula classes are held weekly in Spartanburg and monthly in Greenville. Workshops on the Hawaiian Art of Forgiving through Ho'oponopono are also offered on a regular basis.
For more information on these and other classes and workshops, call 914-466-0015, email firstname.lastname@example.com or go to KaleoWheeler.com and TheHeartOfAloha.org.

Domitius Enobarus: "This grief is crowned with consolation; your old smock brings forth a new petticoat: and indeed the tears live in an onion that should water this sorrow." (Antony and Cleopatra)
Smocks were "loose, high-necked, shirt-like undergarments worn by women, sometimes used for nightwear; some were plan and made of coarse material" (Clark).
In the BBC article "Dressing to impress in the 17th century," we learn that Early Modern women had a hard time figuring out the right balance of clothing to wear. They were encouraged to be "virtuous," and one way they could display their virtue and purity was to dress in a way that didn't show too much skin. The article gives us this interesting scenario where one person brought a woman in front of the court for dressing inappropriately: "In 1628 Catherine Baker was brought before the church courts for defaming Christian Nevell as a "button-smock whore", an insult which suggests that Catherine thought Christian's outfit was too revealing."
Brittanica defines a smock as "a loose, shirtlike garment worn by women in the European Middle Ages under their gowns. The smock eventually developed into a loose, yoked, shirtlike outer garment of coarse linen, used to protect the clothes; it was worn, for example, by peasants in Europe. Modern smocks are loose, lightweight, sleeved garments, often worn to protect the clothes while working. Artists traditionally wore smocks to protect their clothing from paint, marble dust, or any other detritus from the medium in which they worked. Smocks have also been popular garments for pregnant women."
Made of linen, smocks were often worn by farmers and peasants. It was rare to see a person of nobility wearing a smock. They had to be cleaned often, and children wore them frequently.

The best movies of 2018 — and the worst
In compiling my list of the top 10 movies of 2018, I found the lines between what's big and what's important becoming blurred.
Blockbusters featuring superheroes stood side by side with challenging indies from the Sundance Film Festival. The films, regardless of budget, blended humor and excitement with deep thoughts about divisions by race, culture and class, exploring the traumas of adolescence, domestic abuse, police violence, and the unjust imprisonment of a Peruvian bear.

Recruitment of the three northern hemisphere eel species (European eel Anguilla anguilla, American eel Anguilla rostrata and Japanese eel Anguilla japonica) has reduced significantly over the past thirty-five years. The stock of the European eel is described as being outside safe biological limits, with urgent action required by European Union Member States to assist recovery of the panmictic stock. Stock recruitment models and estimates of silver eel output from a river catchment are strongly influenced by the degree of certainty in estimating key population parameters of each life history stage. Therefore, management decisions aimed at enhancing eel populations rely on sound scientific evidence, based upon a fundamental understanding of the complex anguillid eel life cycle. This review paper focuses on the estuarine entry phase of the eel life cycle and synthesises the current scientific knowledge with regard to glass eel migratory behaviour, sampling methods and abundance estimates within estuaries. Although the behavioural and environmental processes modulating glass eel migration patterns are reasonably well understood, site specific factors play a significant role in determining fine scale distribution patterns at an individual estuary level. Given the large resource commitment required to adequately sample this key life history stage, behavioural studies of migration patterns on a local scale are crucially important to aid the design of robust sampling programmes aimed at quantifying seasonal abundance and annual recruitment.

text: NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Amkor Technology AMKR, -0.93% lowered its second quarter outlook, saying it now expects to earn around 6 cents per share compared with its prior estimate of 17 to 22 cents a share. The company attributed its revised forecast to a lower-than-anticipated gross margin. The Chandler, Arizona-based company said its gross margin for the quarter is expected to come in at around 19 percent compared with its prior forecast of around 24 percent. On the revenue front, Amkor said it is currently forecasting revenues to be around 6 percent higher than the first quarter of 2004 against a prior estimate of a 5 to 8 percent increase. Shares of Amkor Technology were down 2 percent at $8.18 at the close of trading Wednesday.

Yesterday, both Motorola and Verizon revealed that the long awaited Lollipop system upgrade was to be released for the Droid Turbo.
This afternoon, I went and checked the system update status and was notified that a new system update was available, which included lollipop 5.1. I can't wait to get home so I can download it using my home wifi.
So far, so good for the upgrade. Lollipop kept some things I liked with 4.4.4, such as the direct activation of the camera. It added back some features that I had when I first had my droid Razr HD, which allowed you to go directly to specific functions. Along the bottom of the screen on lollipop, I have direct access icons for the phone, camera and to unlock the phone. I like having them back.
Both the operating system and the apps seem to be running a bit more smoothly, so far. Apps seem to be more responsive and load more quickly.
I'm still learning what Android 5.1 can do but have bumped into no problems yet and see a lot that I like.

A Beautiful Kimono For Fall
If you don't own a kimono in your wardrobe, then you definitely need one. it's a great transitional piece that keeps you warm yet create a little drama look. The Kimono trend has been going strong since 2016. I got my Zara kimono this spring and it was sold out fast. My niece "stole" the kimono from me and I am on the search for a similar print/style kimono. I can't believe that I found this Zaful Kimono at such an affordable price. You can style it with a simple tee and skirt or a pair of jeans. I also love Zaful's sunglass collection. A Velvet Kimono is a perfect layering piece for fall. Those beige ankle strap pumps are hands down the most comfortable yet stylish heels I have owned. They are pricy but they worth every penny. Thanks so much for stopping by and love to hear your comments.

Cambrian: Opinion
"Let's just start with the word 'vagina.' It sounds like an infection at best, maybe a medical instrument: 'Hurry, Nurse, bring me the vagina." How many of you laughed? How many of you squirmed just now? How many of you threw down the paper in disgust and are now picking it back up to see where the heck this was going? Or, just threw the paper away?
My friend and I saw "The Vagina Monologues" last night (from which the opening quote was taken) at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church in SLO. Kelli Poward, director of the production, closed the evening with the question, "How can people think the Monologues are not still relevant?" after asking the audience how many of us had never seen the production before by raising our hands. I believe at least half of us raised them.
Obviously it is still relevant to quite a few of us in this day and age of Me Too and calling out of sexual inappropriateness, of women/trans/ anybody speaking up for their own physical and emotional rights.
"I didn't set out to write a play about vaginas; I just got talking about them one day. It was 1994, and I was talking to a friend in New York about the menopause. We got on to the subject of her vagina, and what she said really surprised me. She said her vagina was dried-up and finished, dead and horrible. I realized I didn't know what women really thought about their vaginas — or what I thought about my own, for that matter.
"I started asking friends. What they said was so surprising and disturbing, I started writing it down. One woman said she'd had such a bad sexual experience when she was a girl that she'd decided never to have sex again. I started to think there could be a play in this. So I spoke to hundreds of women of all ages and races, and wrote a series of fictional monologues inspired by the things I heard." (Writer Eve Ensler, http://bit.ly/2EFFT7q)
And so, conversations about "what would your vagina say," "what would your vagina wear?" and more intensely, what does one say when it is being raped by a gun in Bosnia or molested for seven days continually by her captors or by your father or someone else you trusted? How about one who has given birth? Genital mutilation, patriarchal religions that decode to govern the world.
There are many humorous moments in the production — naming all the "pet names" for the vagina, various moans and other exclamations of pleasure (by the way, did you know — "happy fact" — that the vagina has 8,000 nerves and is the only part of the body designed strictly for pleasure; more nerves than fingers or the tongue and certainly more than the penis!")
St. Stephen's Rev. Ian Dillinger addressed the crowd, saying it was the church's family, not just him, that felt this was an appropriate use of the church. He the turned to the cast — this night, four transgender women and a non-binary individual – and apologized to them for historic actions of religious institutions for not recognizing and supporting people who did not identify with the gender they were assigned at birth. His tears, of course, made me cry, too. He then read the "Man Prayer" by author/creator, Eve Ensler:
"May I be a man
Whose confidence comes from the depth of my giving
Who understands that vulnerability is my greatest strength
Who creates space rather than dominates it
Who appreciates listening more than knowing
Who seeks kindness over control
Who cries when the grief is too much
Who refuses to slap, the gun, the choke, the insult, the punch
May I not be afraid to get lost
May I cherish touch more than performance and the experience more than getting there
May I move slowly, not abruptly
May I be brave enough to share my fear and shame and gather the other men to do the same
May I stop pretending and open the parts of me that have long been numb
May I cherish, respect and love my mother
May the resonance of that love translate into loving all women and living things"
I found a video of this read by men in many languages. I then scrolled through all the commentary below (my mom always said to read the Op Ed page to know what people are really thinking — this would be the equivalent) … yeah, this apparently threatens men to no end (http://bit.ly/1hXKEbt).
What do you think?
Thank you, St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, Kelli Poward for organizing and directing, and the performers for being so brave and open and to the large audiences who understand and attended.
By the way, the $10 entry tickets went to R.I.S.E. (Respect, Inspire, Support, Empower) of SLO, providing sexual assault/abuse and intimate partner violence programs. The relevance of this production has been called into question, even by the author.
"I have heard from college students who have only seen the show performed by college students say it is irrelevant," Poward said. "I have talked to some people older and younger who won't watch the show because they think it's all about man bashing and won't hear the actual stories."

So the first thing Jay, my fiance, and I thought was to get the basic necessities and put everything else on our registry. We wanted to have the crib & changing table, infant car seat and stroller purchased on our own so that we knew we would have something to bring the baby home in. Immediately I went into research mode and started looking up all of the new travel systems that were out. I started looking around May or June and I found the Signature Series by Graco Trekko 3-Wheel Travel System. I wasn't particularly impressed with any others that I looked at so I decided to read reviews and then go to Babies R'Us and take it for a spin.
Of course Jay loved it because he's obsessed with red and black anything, so he was sold once he saw it. BUT I on the other hand had other reasons to like it. I knew I wanted a Graco Snugride30 car seat. They are top-rated, affordable fit babies up to 30 lbs or up to 30 inches, and a well known brand. I know many people wouldn't like the black fabric for fear of the baby getting too hot, but my daughter was born in December on the East Coast so the heat was the least of our worries. Along with the car seat, the travel system comes with a car seat base, shown in the picture below.
So let me start off with the first con with this travel system. This particular base will only work with this car seat, and not any other Graco Snugride car seats. We knew we'd have to buy an extra base for Jay's car, but we had to purchase the Graco Snugride35 base as its the only other base that will fit with this car seat. I'm not sure why, but I'm glad I read the comments previously about it before getting the wrong base. Other than that, the car seat works great, and we've had no issues since using for almost 3 months.
The stroller lays completely flat and it actually encloses at the bottom so it turns into a bassinet type stroller. It has a five-point harness, and a padded bar that goes in front of the child. The bar actually clips in so you can open it when the child is older instead of lifting them into the stroller. The canopy rotates 180 degrees and can be pulled all the way down in front of the baby if the sun is setting, its raining, etc. One thing that both of us love is the handle; it pivots up and down and adjusts to our height which is great because he's taller than me. Also, it's gender neutral, so it didn't matter if it was a boy or girl, it would work for either gender.
Now this brings me to the first con about the stroller, the basket. The basket is HUGE. I can fit shopping bags, plus our jackets and her diaper bag all in the basket without much effort, however, the basket is advertised to "drop down" for easy access. I may have gotten a fault basket hinge because only one side of my basket drops down, and once its down, it takes a couple good shoves to get it back up in place like the other side. While I don't go shopping or use the basket frequently, it was one of the things that sold me on the stroller. I could get to the basket while she was laying flat in the stroller with no trouble. I'm in the process of writing an email to Graco about this, and will update this post when I receive more information. Another con is no parent tray, but that saves me from snacking 🙂
The only other con; which isn't really a con because I'm a tiny mommy (5'3 and 115 lbs) is the weight and bulk of the stroller. This stroller weighs a whopping 30 lbs! 29.4 lbs to be exact. While it isn't unbearable, it's still freaking heavy. But I wouldn't trade it in at all for a different stroller. I love how it turns, the rubber wheels are sturdy, and even though its a heavy stroller, you wouldn't even know pushing it around. It pushes like a dream.
Just make sure you have the trunk space for this stroller! It was a tight fit in my 2008 Elantra, and I had to take the front wheel off every time I took it in and out of the trunk. Now having a smaller SUV (2013 CX-5) it still takes up a majority of the trunk, but at least I get to keep the wheel on.
ALSO! I used the Graco Snugride Frame Stroller for the first two months, and it was a lifesaver! I bought mine used at a Tot Swap for $10 because it was missing the cup holders but I could care less. It was the best $10 I spent at the time and I definitely got good use out of it. I would recommend a used one for sure, since you only use it for a few months, unless you just buy a car seat separately.
I hope this review helped you in your decision with purchasing your next travel system, or this one in particular. Let me know what travel systems you recommend! Who knows, maybe we'll sell this one and get a new one for the next baby 🙂

This week marks the return of vintage Longines dress watches, this time with an oversized reference 5559, quite close in looks to one of their recent releases. You will also see a new old stock Tudor Submariner 76100 with its characteristic "lollipop" hand; the watch also comes with its original box and papers. Two chronographs round out our selections, and each shows some dashing colors: the Heuer Skipper reference 7764 exhibits a stunning regatta counter, while theGirard-Perregaux Olimpico reference 9075AF offers an uncommon dial, and light brown bezel.
Longines Reference 5559, With Oversized Yellow Gold Case
You might think that you have seen this Longines before, and with good reason. It was first offered for sale on Instagram in May;and if you saw it then, you probably noticed its resemblance to the recently releasedLongines Heritage 1945. Granted, the bezels and lugs are slightly different in curvature, but the dial configuration is identical, for good reasons since this re-edition itself was inspired by a vintage piece also from the 1940s.
This Longines offers an oversized 18k yellow gold case; its 36mm diameter was actually slightly over-sized for wristwatches from the era. Based on the sharpness of its lugs, it actually looks unpolished, and the fixed strap bars are also in excellent condition. The balance of the dial is outstanding: the alternating numerals and applied indexes, the thin leaf hands and the large sub-register work beautifully together. Note however, that there is a small scratch on the dial, just below 9 o'clock. Lastly, the seller describes the manual-winding caliber 27M as in great working condition, and it very much looks this way.
This oversized Longines reference 5559 is priced at 4,800 Euros (or around $5,665).
Tudor Submariner Reference 76100, With Lollipop Hand
Yes, Tudor had its own version of the Submariner, and for more than 40 consecutive years since the mid-1950s. Yet it managed to differentiate it from the divers of its sister brand Rolex mechanically of course (Tudor was sourcing its movements from suppliers, while Rolex went in-house) but also aesthetically. The reference 76100 could not be a better example of that, with its unique "lollipop" hour hand, without the classical inner divide of the famous "Mercedes" hand from Rolex. The dial indexes were also a different shape, which Tudor also offered in blue (for vintage stainless steel Subs, Rolex followed the Ford motto, and you could choose "any color as long as it was black").
Introduced in 1984, the reference 76100 was only produced for a short period of time, and is therefore harder to find, especially in the NOS condition of the present example. Not only is the condition flawless, but the watch comes full set with a guarantee (blank, unsigned and unstamped), hang tag, papers and box. The caseback still bears the original sticker, while the folded Oyster bracelet is of course included in this very complete set.
The Rolex dealer Eric Ku is offering this full set NOS Tudor Submariner 76100 for $10,000.
Heuer Skipper 7764, With Compressor Case
The reference 7764 was not the first Heuer Skipper, it followed the reference 7754 which was introduced in 1968. It was, however, the very first to be fitted in a large 40.5mm Compressor case, while the previous iteration used the 35mm Carrera case (hence its "Skipperera" nickname; more info on the Skipper family can be found onHeuerchrono). As expected in a regatta-dedicated piece of that era, there's a 15 minute totalizer, with 5-minute increments to match the countdown of a race.
This feature was obtained through a modification of the caliber Valjoux 7730; just as Breitling was at the same time tweaking the Venus 178 to get different durations and displays of the elapsed minutes. The present Heuer Skipper shows an excellent dial, with a great regatta counter and patinated lume on the indexes and original handset. The Autavia case retains its original thick profile, and the well preserved engravings on the caseback and between the lugs shows that it has not been overpolished. Lastly, the minute/hour bezel is well preserved, without the deep scratches they often pick up over time.
Abel Court offers this great Heuer Skipper for 15,000 Euros (or around $17,730)
Girard-Perregaux Olimpico Reference 9075AF
The Olimpico name is self-explanatory: Girard-Perregaux released one chronograph for each edition from the 1950s onwards, and that for over 30 years. In the case of the present reference 9075AF, it is believed that is was made to celebrate the 1968 Mexico Games, although some believe it was actually created in conjunction with the 1976 Montreal Olympics. One thing we do know for sure, is it was manufactured by Excelsior Park, which also offered it under its own branding. This also explains the Excelsior Park chronograph caliber 40 lateral clutch and column wheel controlled found inside the case (called caliber 073 under Girard-Perregaux nomenclature).
This Olimpico comes with an extract from the Girard-Perregaux archives, and the seller indicates a 620-unit production. It also comes with a period correct and signed buckle and a branded box, both elements adding a bit of historical context to the watch. The case looks sharp, and the reference number is clearly legible between the lugs. The dial shows some even aging, more specifically on the its lacquer finishing, while the manual-wound movement is described as working properly.
This Girard-Perregaux Olimpico is listed on theChronocentric forum for7,500 Euros (or around $8,850).

The Art of staying cybersafe while travelling
I spent a month travelling abroad last year one of my primary concerns before starting my travels was to remain as secure and as private as possible while travelling, as you know separated from your regular routine and habits can impact your decision making process especially when you are far from home and passing though countries where people may not speak your language.
this article is summary of all the main tactics and techniques I used to stay as Cyber Safe as Possible while travelling abroad.
Use a VPN
When travelling you may not know so much about where you are staying, particular if you are staying in Airbnb's like I was its always a good idea to take a few measures to secure yourself incase there are other snoopers nearby as you never know who may be watching.
I have a huge issue with VPN providers as often just like snoopers on wifi networks VPN providers may also be snoopers in disguise. The safest option is to spin up your own if you want to learn how head over to one of my old posts "In 2017 only losers pay for VPN's"
Don't Trust USB connections
Do you often plug your USB charging devices into charging stations or power stations? If you do you should stop immediately. Charging stations or plugging your PC into random devices an open you up to the threat of sophisticated malware installing itself on your device.
For traveling abroad you should take your own power source or charging facilities with you if you cant or don't want to carry extra gear take one the best devices possible to ensure your safety a USB Condom.
A USB condom essentially blocks the data pins in a usb port and only allows the power pins to connect through to the USB cable. This physical blocking ensures that no malware can silently slip onto your device while charging therefore making this a must have travel device.
Take a Travel Machine
I normally of the majority of my work (including writing for this blog) on a MacBook Pro. It's great and I really enjoy working on it. There is only 2 major drawbacks with taking it on extended trips:
- It's Super expensive and normally travel insurance just falls short of the total amount covering it so if something happens thats it.
- the 15 inch screen makes it a rather large travel item.
So my recommendation to everybody would be to take a small compact "Travel Machine" for my trip I ended up settling on the "Xiaomi Mi book air" which I bought from AliExpress.com. I was a little sceptical of using Xiaomi products but I made sure to wipe the machine a few consecutive times and move away from the preinstalled Windows 10 setup and move to a Linux flavour that gave me a greater control of the machine and hardware settings.
The laptop has a 12.5" version its small, light and has great battery life. best of all if I loose it its encrypted and I don't really care as much as loosing my everyday laptop.
Carry some "extra" tooling
It never hurts to be prepared. If you can take a few "extra" tools why not. What I took abroad with me was an android phone with Kali NetHunter installed as well as a few additional wifi adapters. I primarily used this for examining the wifi networks I was connected to as an extra precaution to make sure there weren't any extra devices hooked up to the network e.g. network camera's snooping on me in the airbnb's I stayed at.
Don't ever connect to Public Wifi
Like many tips for staying "Cybersafe" most of them are just common sense and good practice, like this one. You shouldn't ever connect to public wifi ever, never ever. If your still undecided I plan on putting a technical post to show you exactly why this is a bad idea. Watch this space.
Don't ever connect to Hotel Wifi
Hotel wifi is basically the same thing as public wifi with one difference you pay exorbitant rates for the privilege of using it. Never ever connect to hotel wifi.
Verify payment gateways
In Europe when trying to make a credit card payment you get hit with a weird payment gateway screen that was probably created sometime back in the early 2000's or at least looks like it was.
My advice here is to always double check the certificates and possibly verify these with research or calling your financial institution. You can never be to cautious.
Pay in cash where possible
Incase you don't even want to risk using a payment gateway, pay in cash always. This keeps you cybersafe by eliminating the financial aspect of your online overseas footprint completely.
Use 2FA
This one is a no brainer setup 2FA on all apps and sites you are concerned with protection or are "high value" to yourself.
The only problem with 2FA which I discovered quite early on in my journey is make sure its not 2FA over SMS as if you are using a different phone number this option won't work. Instead look if you can use an alternate form of 2FA e.g. google authenticator or in app notifications.
Carry a Travel Phone
Worried about getting your primary phone compromised? The easy solution is to get a travel phone. you should be able to pick up a device with the latest version of Android for a relatively cheap price (~$50 USD). At such a low price you can even throw it away when your trip is over.
Buy a Travel Modem / Router
So we have already establish hotel wifi and free wifi are bad ideas. So is there a better one? Sure there is! Buy a mobile broadband router that way you can take it with you on your travels and its easier to police and audit who is using it.
Password Protect and Encrypt everything
This one is simple. You may often travel to places where your rights or other peoples rights are not exactly priority for the governments or people in charge of security as such common responses to certain situations may not be comfortable with you.
So if you really want to be Cybersafe do the following:
- Enable the passwords / passkeys on everything you take with you.
- Use encrytion on everything / encrypt everything.
Often the above to activities may be enough to keep you cybersafe if you cant adhere to 1 of the other controls.
Be Smart
As you may have already determined by reading this article most of these tools and tactics are common sense practices that you don't necessarily have to be traveling to adhere to. As always be smart if something seems too risky online or with devices make sure you take adequate measures to protect yourself.
More technically themed posts are coming soon - thank you to everybody has reached out requesting more tutorials!
Until Next Time!

What is the Torn Universe? And what does it have to do with Facebook?
I'm glad you asked.
Torn Universe is the name of my expanded universe: All of my published works take place in the same cosmos across different planets, different time periods....and maybe even different timelines. Here there be desert elves, the Poison, Blood Hunters, and other cool elements.
The Torn Universe Facebook group is a place to read snippets of my WIP, get a behind-the-scenes look at my publications and art work, receive exclusive information, and even have a shot at beta reading opportunities. It's also a fun way to meet up with fellow Torn Universe readers, swap theories, create fan-art, and ask me questions.

New Studio, Schedule, Classes + Clients
There's been lots of new stuff going on and I'm trying to get the word out as fast as I can. Today's email is a continuation on all things NEW!
The previous email discussed the new services I'm offering and this email will cover more of the business updates.
This week I was asked some pretty awesome questions and instead of covering the answers in a LIVE video where my notes are all over and my excitement creates A.D.D. moments, I figured I would write it all down first - then do a video later on!
New Studio in 2019 = New Schedule
A few weeks ago I announced the move for 2019 and it feels so good to let that secret soar!
Beginning at some point in January (sooner rather than later hopefully - but we're understandably at the mercy of contractors) we'll be moving above Lilybee Floral Studio right off of Wisconsin Ave.
I will be sharing more info as we get it about when the move will take place. I also plan to hold a Grand Opening Celebration to how off the new space, share some mock-tails and snacks, offer a Bioelements product sale and complimentary skin consultations!
Yes, you've likely noted me using the word "we" because I happily share that New Holstein will now have yoga classes back on a regular basis! I'll share more on those later as well. The biggest part about the move and the yoga classes is that I will likely need to adjust the days I offer my services as it is not conducive to have yoga at the same time as a facial - we want a totally present environment.
I created a poll in the Refinery Esthetics Wellness Warriors Group page where you can vote on the days that work best for your schedule.
Please note that I will take every vote into strong consideration however simply cannot guarantee every request. I do promise to find a schedule that works well for all so that nobody feels left in the dust!
If you would rather reply to this email to let me know what works best for your schedule I will then add that vote to the poll!
Question Posed: Are you accepting new clients?
Heck to the YES!!!!!!!
Send every person in the world you know in my direction - PLEASE!
Currently, I run my business openings on a part-time basis but the goal is to grow this into a full-time status!
Ideally, I'd love to have at least 60 clients a month and I will be able to add more availability as I grow and as demand grows.
Keep in mind my referral program: for every new client you send my way, you earn $10 off your next service! All they need to tell me is who sent them:)
I'll be adding a few Saturday mornings to the schedule for December, January and February.
In the past this has gone over well, so now that the season has changed and my husband has stopped working Saturdays until Spring, I can take clients in the morning on Saturdays!
The open days have been added to the online booking site so you may click below to set up your next service!
That's all for now!
