kodich : kenya part III
Wednesday, 4.30.14
...just little over one year ago, i returned from my life-changing journey in Kenya,
and let me tell you... Gandhi was right!!!
while in Kenya over 500 women, men & children were trained in Anti-FGM, over 100 children profiles were updated & Easter was celebrated with our 'family' at Kodich Children's Home.
with our busy schedule, we reached new profiles of 130 women, had spiritual & self esteem sessions with 3 women's groups, lots of business planning & beadery training, teaching about reproductive health and distributing 400 reusable sanitary pads, along with the incredible culture shfiting anti-FGM training for 700+ people - including boys & men, too!
...and that's just a quick snap shot.
today I will share the third & last part of my experience in Kenya, literally copied verbadum from my journal throughout my two weeks there, & now mixed in with my images throughout.
before I go any further though, I need to make the same important disclaimer as with Kenya part I & Kenya part II:
I want you to know that ALL of it, absolutely all of it, is written & comes from a DEEP, sincere place of LOVE.
This was by far the most intense & life-changing experience I have ever documented,
yet despite any of the hardships or fear-battles I faced, I would do it all over again.
I can only hope that you will be able to see and feel a sliver of what
Kenya & the tremendous Pokot people have taught me .
because that alone will fill your heart in more ways than you ever imagined.
It is already late night on Saturday evening I think somewhere around 9:00pm?
Regardless, when it gets dark here it is literally like a blanket falls & covers up the sun in one big swoop!
It happens so quickly that I really dont know exactly when it actually gets dark maybe 6:30pm?
Anyway, I am thankful for the generator in Kodich right now. I am sitting in the dining room area -
which consists of the same 3 plastic tables & 14 plastic chairs that we have been taking with us from place to place -
along with a small tiny kitchen which looks like it is from the 1800s & once again, sadly I am not exaggerating.
There are cobwebs above the big fire oven made of a mixture of probably clay & cement? Brick?
It looks like a kiln that I used to bake my ceramic pieces in back in college.
Every night we get served out of the big silver pot, which looks like it was hammered & handmade, as well.
Dont get be wrong, I am beyond grateful for it & I ate my ENTIRE heaping scoop
but seriously, on a total side note, how do people back at home actually like that stuff? I dont get it.
Maybe it's because i didn't grow up with it, but in my opinion, it just tastes like a salt ball!
Regardless, I have been thinking a lot about how grateful I am for so many things,
including that God has made me not crave foods from back at home &
also NOT feel sick from eating these new foods with how sensitive my stomach can be.
I am grateful for the protein shakes, almonds & the few snacky foods I was able to bring, too.
Along with those awesome orange Isagenix Vitamin electrolyte water mixing things!
Those have been a lifesaver
especially on days like today where I felt completely drained & didnt know if I could make it through dinner.
Today I also had a ringing thought in my head
I keep wondering why exactly God sent me here. Why?
Obviously I knew without a doubt I had to go
in my heart, mind & spirit -
yet I keep wondering why?
Its almost like I keep waiting for that defining moment
& then tonight when we were driving back from capturing profile pics at the secondary school,
a thought came to me :
God brought me here to appreciate more and EVEN MORE.
To love my husband, our family, friends, animals, even more.
To let go of control & learn the power in simplicity.
To learn how to be patient & to believe in an entirely different strength & way of living.
To catch my breath,,, literally.
To be LOVE in all that I do
As much as I can
In His name.
To remember it is not me who gets credit for the images captured or stories written
only He can give me the strength & gift to do so.
I will briefly recap today :
-wake up & pack up everything.
-morning devotional, then simple breakfast
-walk around with Peg to get a few last pictures at Kauriong
-we drive about 2 hours on the bumpiest road EVER, E V E R, to Kodich
-we arrive here & are greeted by all the children singing. SO so sweet! pretty much the sweetest thing ever.
(although I feel quite sticky & bloated, I am so very grateful for this food & that I have been able to eat)
-guess what? I have a tiny amount of cell phone signal here!!!
& am finally able to talk to Mark! SO HAPPY.
Absolutely LOVED hearing his voice, even if it was only for a couple of minutes.
(my view from the 'spot' i could get a smidge of cell phone signal at )
(which while on the phone a billy goat attacked a female goat talk about HORRIFYING to witness!!!)
I walked around & took some pictures.
There are some super cute dogs here well, 3 of them ,
but that is the most I have seen in the villages so far.
which consisted of yet another 'couple' hours in the car.
(me in the back seat of the car. ha! )
then we got rained on & as I tried to get under a ledge for cover,
I instead ran completely into it with my forehead!
It hurt SO badly I actually started to cry --- talk about embarrassing!
I honestly couldnt help it, though & the whole thing just totally startled me.
while we were waiting for the rain to pass,
we met a big grasshopper... not exactly sure what he was doing though
it literally stopped me in my tracks.
and then helped them get string together for the friendship bracelets with the kids tomorrow.
which I dont think I wrote about yet but mine was my KSP t-shirt & letting go of ksenija savic as a only a photographer
& refinding ksenija savic ostach as
an artist,
a storyteller,
a lover of life,
a giver,
a blogger,
a photographer,
a woman of God.
and that kinda wraps up today.
we didnt do as much as normal days but today was different because we traveled for half of it,
plus it was SO unbelievably hot & humid that I am thankful we didnt do as much.
& I am SO tired! I pray for strength for tomorrow & am so excited for the Game Park on Monday!
But even more than that, to see my husband & our sweet Jones on Wednesday!!!
Until then,
I will just remain being in the present & enjoying the NOW.
Easter in Kenya.
Last night it rained
& by 'rain' I mean torrential downpour all. night. long! I couldnt believe it!
I had trouble falling asleep at first due to the heat & bugs that swarmed our room
but then eventually I went right to sleep & dreamt some weird nightmarish dreams. Awesome.
So far all of my dreams have been like that, though not sure why.
Hopefully tonight will be better!
This morning I braved a Kodich shower at 7:00am (which seems to be the best so far )
& was excited to get to wear a dress for a change with it being Easter Sunday.
They actually have a small mirror in the restroom here which has been a first for sure.
It has been humbling & good not to have a mirror here.
It has also been humbling to think about how the Pokot never really see themselves
or what they look like because they dont have mirrors.
It has helped me care a little less about what I am wearing & how it looks.
Not sure how that will carry on at home for me, but I pray it will somehow in my heart.
I also find it amazing how absolutely beautiful the people are here.
Truly BEAUTIFUL & of course completely natural.
Despite the lack of what they have & live in materially & physically,
they literally SHINE.
one of our team members Sheri led devotional
& Carol surprised us with a little Easter candy treat with a noted that said,
He is Risen. Kenya 2013.
It was really sweet she is really sweet.
I also find it interesting how much Kenya looks like Ksenija.
Seriously, for some reason when I read that note,
I saw it differently today.
It was beautiful & different then anything I have ever experienced before.
They had us all sit in the front as their guests & also introduce ourselves.
They sang a lot I tried to get some of it on video,
but I am not sure it will translate back at home through video as it does in person to your heart.
TRULY some of the most BEAUTIFUL voices I have ever heard. EVER.
Church went until a little after noon & then another torrential downpour began.
This time I happened to be in the bathroom....so yes, I got stuck in an outhouse in Kenya!
I started to think, of course only this would happen to me
but then I thought maybe this was Gods way of telling me to just be
despite where I am, just to BE.
So I began praying & giving my thanks even for the crazy rain.
After probably 30 minutes of being stuck in the little outhouse,
I debated running outside for what felt like F O R E V E R
but every time I even put my arm outside of the bathroom door,
it got completely soaked & the rain felt so frigid.
I just didnt feel like getting drenched in the ONE outfit I had for the day.
So I tried my best to continue praying & being as present as I could inside the bathroom
the rain did sound pretty in a way.
After an hour, though, I decided I just needed to get out of that damp bathroom & suck it up!
Just as I made the decision & jumped out and started to run with the chickens (literally ),
it was like someone turned off the shower & the rain turned into a light misty sprinkle.
It was the weirdest thing!
I know it was small, but it was such a blessing, too.
as odd as it was, I felt as if it was a bigger metaphor for facing fear
once you decide to take that jump,
trust that you will not fall.
It was an early morning & last night was a later night
because the children of Kodich did a performance for us,
which was just incredible & heart-warming.
But somehow today is already April 1st & what a month this will be!
Today we woke up early to be packed up & get on the road for another day of travel.
First, of course we had our devotional & breakfast.
Judi led todays devotional & I really enjoyed it.
She said she got it from the Messenger Bible which is written in more todays word & language".
Mark & I will have to look into that,
as well as doing devotionals every day. I really like it. It reminds me of camping with one of my besties, Alexa's, family every year.
I really loved how they always began the day with devotionals in the middle of the woods.
Nothing but us, nature & God. THE BEST!
Anyway, it is already late tonight, around 10:30pm,
& today has been another super loooooong travel day.
Before I write anything else, though,
I want to write down what Jay said this morning to us before getting on the road.
He said,
the Pokot have redefined his definition of poverty.
That he realized that being rich doesnt necessarily mean having 'things'.
That these people may be poor
but they are so RICH in SO many other much more meaningful ways.
or at least it was something along those lines -- it was like he literally took the words right out of my mouth!
I have learned SO much here
despite any deemed hardship & my silly daily battles with the bugs & toilet systems.
I have seen warmth & joy in the Pokot of all ages....
I have watched girls & boys walk around holding hands or arm in arm.
They are all brothers & sisters here despite no biological connection.
I have seen 4 & 5 year-olds pick up a crying 2 year old & carry them on their back!
I have seen immense joy in the sheer fact that they get their nails painted (both the girls & the boys).
I have watched them smile & grab my hands & place them to their heart.
I have watched the children play for hours on end in the same area
with the same children
with the same dirt & rocks to run on
1/2 with some sort of shoe or tattered flip flop & most with nothing at all,
yet all with smiles & screeches of joy. JOY!
I have walked with the children & felt their arms reach out to get a touch of my skin.
I have been asked my name by what must be hundreds of faces of all ages.
I have had the ability to make others smile just by taking their picture
& saying Roriyo ("smile") in my broken Pokot.
There is no make-up & no hair accessories & definitely no pick of clothing
yet the Pokot shine.
and although more change has & needs to come,
their spirit, LOVE, & willingness to learn is like something I have never seen before.
It is still all a bit surreal to me but I do know this
they may be poor in a sense,
but they are RICH indeed in every other sense of the word.
I dont know if I will ever fully process what I saw but those words from Sarah Groves keep ringing in my ear
I saw what I saw & I cant forget it
It is hard to process & fully comprehend, and as I sit here and write this,
I dont even know how I will even begin to describe this all back at home.
But i do know that somehow God will find the words & the way.
He always does.
Wow. Where has the time gone?
It is seriously crazy to me how at one point it felt like I didnt know how I would get through the next day...
& then somehow not only did I...
but with Grace & a certain ease that is so hard to properly explain.
I remember before I left my friend Lori telling me that this trip would be hard, but it would be GOOD.
Well, she was right. It has definitely been both & i am eternally grateful for every single bit of it.
Today started off at 6:30am with an almost 3 hour drive through the game park!
two words : SO AWESOME.
a few pics from along the road of our travels first :
So far we saw zebras...
Oh & monkeys & bamboons, too!
when we were headed out of the park we even saw a little family of 'zaboomafoos', aka lemurs.
just soooo cute!
It was neat driving through the Game Park because seeing animals there just feels so different than going to the zoo
obviously because they are in their natural environment,
but also because they are in what feels like a mixture between Avatar & swampland.
They almost look like a mixture of a horse meets a camel meets a unicorn with a splash of giraffe...
if that makes any sense!
They are seriously TOO cute.
which was great but also felt different because I havent felt that full since I left home!
The resort is really pretty & our rooms were actually made of a super nice & sturdy canvas material.
They are tents technically, which is so different!
I like the Game Park Resort & all (I mean, how can you not?!),
but considering where we just came from, it definitely feels a bit weird to be here in a way.
plus, i am realizing that experiences like these just arent the same without Mark.
I thought it was interesting how, in a way, we all easily seemed to adjust to the luxury of the Game Park Resort
compared to what we were living in these past eleven days.
Dont get me wrong -- Im not saying that we didnt notice or appreciate the shower with warm water
and the comfort of showering with no chance of cockroaches or beatles
or big weird unknown bugs crawling in even frogs!
The comfort of showering with enough space to actually move around in.
The comfort of knowing your water is not going to run out because it comes from a big bucket
that was filled by a couple boys at the top.
The comfort of knowing you actually have privacy & not an open window where everyone can see in if they happen to pass by.
The comfort of not worrying about getting ring worm & having to shower in flip flops
careful not accidentally touch the moist concrete dirt floor when getting dressed.
That word I no longer take for granted.
I have been longing for that shower at home & to be able to blow dry my long hair straight...
whereas every Pokot girl has to have her hair short due to lack of being able to maintain it at any other length.
I long to get in a really good workout & yoga class,
whereas the Pokots workouts are daily just by trying to pump & carry the ginormous water jugs on top of their heads,
all the while still with a smile!
I long for a big Inn Season or Greek Island salad
yet the Pokot children stand in a long line with a most likely dirty plastic bowl to be served a scoop of whatever is available
for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Then they stand or sit somewhere on the ground outside to eat.
Yes they are together but there is no dinner table or those traditional family dinners that I grew up with
& desire to have with my family that Mark & I create one day.
I havent been in all of their homes but the ones I have consist of a room no larger then our bedroom at home
(which isnt large by any means) & are usually divided by a large hanging curtain sheet.
Behind the sheet is a bunk bed same as what we slept on dormitory style or just a plain single mattress twin size on the floor
on which the entire family sleeps!!!
On the other side of the curtain is the kitchen & most likely a small window.
There is no kitchen sink or fridge or oven though.
There is no electricity.
The kitchen consists of an area with pots & pans & if lucky, some handmade shelves to store some food on.
The actual kitchen is outside burning over a fire -- this is where they make tea all the way to making dinner.
Bathrooms are of course outside .
so waking up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom has taken on a WHOLE NEW meaning to me.
Of course something I will look at so differently when back at home.
With all this said, though, one thing I keep reminding myself is that
'this is someone elses pattern of existence.'
This is something that they are used to & all that they know.
The children do not grow up with choices of where they will go for fun that night
or movie options or dinner outings or recreational team sports.
Other than eventually changing grades,
they stay in the same place ALL THE TIME.
They play with the SAME kids in the SAME encircled area.
There are no wiis, no soccer balls (unless brought from the US & those are quickly lost)
there arent even crayons & paper, or a good ol board game!
With all this said, you would think that they would be bored to death but they are not.
They are joyful --
and they are SO easily filled when anyone visits, it is literally like Christmas in July.
They are curious.
They are warm.
They are loving.
They are grateful.
They are shy.
They are outgoing.
They are smiles from ear to ear.
They are LOVE.
i can't help but feel utterly grateful & somewhat helpless at the same time.
There is so much more i can give in every aspect of the word.
Best part, individually & together, we ALL can.
The day I come home & see my loves is here!!!
We are currently in Amsterdam & on the second leg of the trip
And now the plane is in the air!
I thank God for safe travels, for His strength, for His words & His Grace.
I pray & hope this underlying calmness remains when I get home.
I know I will need some time to process this all
& I just heard Gods whisper to do devotionals & meditate daily...
to really take time to count my Blessings & thank the Lord for everything EVERY day.
...and reflect on what a remarkable road & journey we have been on!
I feel an uncertainity of whats to come as I look through my photos I have captured & really see what will be revealed to me then.
I feel an awe of all that has happened in these past 13 days a complete awe of God.
An awe of the all the amazing women in our group who traveled such a long distance,
many first timers as myself, into the unknown Bush of Kenya!
I feel a sense of Hope in what would seem from someone elses viewpoint as hopelessness.
I see HOPE & possibility in all those that we touched, both literally & physically.
Hope in all that we brought with us & hope in all that will continue to be.
It is a conscious decision & effort to be placed in something utterly uncomfortable,
knowing in your heart that it is what is right.
The beauty in this is that we ALL,
no matter how different we may be,
share this commonality
we hold the key to our destiny
& our sacrifices
& our JOY
& our true hearts desire.
It is always within us.
& from what I have learned thus far in my life, you MUST,
absolutely MUST,
make the conscious desire & leap of faith into the unknown
knowing that everything will be better than just alright.
It will be pure.
It will be genuine.
It will be change.
It will be love.
It will be DIVINE.
with so much gratitude & love,

My internet speed is supposed to be 1000 Mbps and all I see is 10.0 Mbps
This topic was created during version 1.7.
The latest version is 7.5.00101.

If you are on a 10mb hub/switch then that's all you'll get. Also if you have a network card only supporting 10mb, then you can't use the full 100. Also you should be using cat6 if you desire a 1000mb connection.
But to check your "internet speed" you should use a bandwidth meter:

Can you tell me how I can find out what network card I have? I have a 3com wireless router. Also, can you tell me what a cat6 is? Thanks,
Jan 1, 2008 at 7:17 UTC
To check what network card you have simply right click my computer go to hardware then device manager. From there you can see your network card under the Networking section.
Cat6 is a patch lead which works at a rate of 1GBps so its a faster cable then a Cat5 which can only work at a maximum rate of 100MBps.
Jan 1, 2008 at 7:36 UTC
I found Network Adapter and it says SIS 900-Based PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter. Is that what you are talking about? I don't mean to sound so dumb but what is a patch lead? Is it the cable going from the little box on top of my tower to the my tower? My 3com router is upstairs in my closet (closest to my antenna). My computer is in my sewing room in the walk-out basement.
Jan 2, 2008 at 9:33 UTC
It would be helpful to know what OS you're using (Vista/XP/2000) and the make and model of the tower.
Often times you can just right click network places & choose properties. Then right click the local connection and choose properties. Then look where it says "connect using." See attachment.
Yes a patch lead is the same as the network cable.
Are you using spiceworks to manage your home network?
Jan 2, 2008 at 1:45 UTC
I have Windows XP Pro, Service Pack 2; AMD Duron Processor, 1.19 GHz 512MB of RAM. I had this computer build in 2002 in Ohio but we have been in Wyoming since 2003 and I have had things added to it a few years ago.
I just loaded Spiceworks and I am trying to use it to manage my home network but it is not finding everything. I have 2 printers and it says I only have one and I am supposed to have my laptop networked and it does not show. I would appreciate any help you can give me.
Jan 3, 2008 at 9:16 UTC
As far as determining your network adapter type, did you look at where it says "connect using" like the nic.jpg example showed?
The attached wmi vbscript should tell you as well. When it pops up the box put a decimal ( . ) in there and hit ok. It will cycle through RAS, miniports, and other things first but should eventually reveal the actual network adapter info.
As far as discovering your network, spiceworks runs best on a domain environment where rights/permissions are centralized and you can have admin rights across the network. If the other printer doesn't have a network cable directly attached (meaning it's plugged into another pc's usb/parallel port) then it isn't really a network device (it's a peripheral on a networked computer) so spiceworks might have a harder time finding it.

Judge Blocks Trial For Fatal Police Shooting, Sticks Victim's Family With Cop's Legal Bill
Beware unarmed, Anaheim police protester: Cops will claim they mistook your Disney sign for a gun, kill you, demand immunity from public scrutiny and then win support from reality suspending, country club OC judges
Anaheim's Bernie Cervantes Villegas held the barrel end of a BB rifle when police officers approached him in January 2012, complied with commands to raise his arms and was nevertheless shot five times and killed though he never pointed the weapon at cops or grabbed for the trigger.
Officers "high-fived" each other after the shooting, according to a defense witness.
That's the version defense lawyers presented in a federal civil rights lawsuit against the trigger-happy shooter, Anaheim officer Nick Bennallack, who six months later also executed an unarmed Manuel Diaz by shooting him in the butt and back of the head.
According to court records, the cop--affectionately called "Buckshot Bennallack" by fellow officers and "Backshot Bennallack" by angry residents--demanded that a jury never see crime scene photographs of the gruesome results of his five shots because jurors might become nauseous by the overkill.

This week inside Orange County's Ronald Reagan Federal Courthouse, U.S. District Court Judge Cormac J. Carney ordered Villegas' surviving family members to pay Anaheim PD's legal bills after refusing to let the lawsuit go to a future jury because, in his view, even if the plaintiff's version of events is accurate, the cop acted "reasonably" in fear for his life.
By law, the judge is required to view the plaintiff's claims in the most favorable light before concluding there is no case worthy of reaching a jury.
But contrary to the aforementioned requirement Carney dutifully regurgitated the police story as pure gospel to make his decision, a shamelessly arrogant move worthy of Ninth Circuit appellate court scrutiny.
The ruling by the 2003 George W. Bush appointee is a triple whammy for Villegas' family: They were left with more than $100,000 in medical bills and funeral costs after the killing; They're blocked from the right to have a jury consider their complaint for damages; and now they will collect the legal bill from the department that killed their loved one.
None of the other cops at the scene with Bennallack thought they needed to fire their weapons even once.
In March, a federal jury rejected the lawsuit filed the estate of Diaz against Bennallack.
After the 2012 killings of Villegas, Diaz and Joel Matthew Acevedo, city residents concerned about police excessive force protested.
The police stress that all men were known criminals.

This Occupy Wall Street participant proudly displays his makeshift recycling center. He explains why:
There are murmurs through the crowd that the Mayor is now insinuating that there are growing health and sanitation issues at Occupy Wall Street. We have an excellent sanitation crew that has been keeping the park clean. We recycle all garbage and encourage visitors to the park to recycle as well.
Liar, liar, pants on fire: Protesters with the Occupy Wall Street movement threatened on Thursday to block efforts to clean up the Lower Manhattan park where they set up camp nearly a month ago, raising concerns of a showdown with authorities. (Reuters)
He goes on to say that he and his buddies are doing whatever they need to do to make this country work again....for them. Apparently getting an actual paying job is not one of the options they are currently pursuing. After all, you can't expect young people to protest capitalistic Wall Street AND look for a job. That would be a huge conflict of interest!

How can I change the color of the text to the right of the file upload field?Asked by dkainvi3ind on September 12, 2013 at 03:26 PM
Hi Tasha,
Following on from your reply, the problem is happening when i open the webpage in Safari.
As a reminder please see my question below:
I have a 'File Upload' form tool on my form.
The 'no file selected' text beside the button is black, which does not show up very well on the blue background.
Is there anyway of making the 'no file selected' text white and then change to black when highlighted.
Many thanks and kind regards.
Many thanks and kind regards,
JotForm Support
Hi Neale,
Please try injecting CSS code like this to your form
.form-upload {
color: #FFFFFF !important;
Use this guide on How-to-Inject-Custom-CSS-Codes
I tested it on my end, and it works on Safari browser also
Inform us if you need more assistance.

NTA is a team of professional Naturopaths with clinics across Hampshire, Berkshire and Dorset. We provide unique health assessments and recovery programmes which are tailored to your individual needs.
Naturopathy is alternative medicine based on the belief that the body can heal itself. If we remove the things causing harm and use the right supports to provide what has been missing then the body can start to repair. We use Homeopathic medicines along with other naturopathic supports because it is both gentle and effective. It targets the underlying cause of the symptoms rather than the symptoms themselves and is the most used system of alternative medicine in the world.
Our Health Assessments combine a detailed consultation with testing using SCIO bio-resonance technology. Your practitioner will provide you with a report of her findings and design a recovery programme that combines Homeopathic and Herbal medicines, dietary advice and natural supplements as well as general lifestyle suggestions.
NTA Life has been created to share knowledge collected over hundreds of years and passed down through Naturopathic practitioners – so that you can take control of your own healthcare.
Membership of the site gives access to our online recovery programme and to our members forum, as well as to lots of general information about illness and wellness. You can use the programme to identify your own weaknesses and learn how to work through them in the most helpful order, so that you can gradually recover your health.
Your dedicated practitioner and the team at NTA are here to guide you through the process of assessment and recovery. Right from your initial call or email, our aim is to ensure that you feel supported by a health professional who understands the causes of your health problems and their effect on you.

Everytime Someone asks me what my nationality is (which is often) I always ask them to guess. When they do guess it is usually not even close to what my nationality is. So it got me thinking what nationality do I look like to people?
Can anyone guess my nationality just by looking at my Pictures?
Have an opinion?

It's hard with you. Brazilian and Guyanese were good guesses, I thought.
Dominican? Trinidadian?
Throw me a bone here.00|00|0
Lol why? and nope
Because your "physiognomy" is unlike those of internationally well known ethnic groups. (But at least in part that's why you asked, right? Since it stumps people?)
Yes. and by the way I am mixed
No idea, I'll say Brazilian because I'm Brazilian too and because "Linda" is actually a word that exists in Portuguese.00|00|0
Nope not Brazilian (although Brazilians are hot)
You look a bit mexican to me00|00|0
Lol I never got that before
North Korean?00|00|0

Question as above.
Most Helpful Girl
It depends on the guy (especially his views on female sexuality and his maturity). Any guy who would lose respect for a girl for sleeping with him on the first night is complete idiot though. It takes two people to have sex, and it's ridiculous to have a double standard where it's okay for him, but not okay for you.
That being said, if you sleep with a guy on the first night, he may think you're just interested in sex and nothing more, or decide that he doesn't think there's a point in getting in to a relationship with you (if he isn't that interested in a relationship), because he can have sex with you either way.00|00|0
Yes, it takes two people but remember if I am taking you on a date, I'm interested and will not say no to sex on the first date.
This goes back to what you mentioned about what the impression of sex on the first date. Yes, if you sex me on the first date. I will wonder if I'm the only person you have done that with? And if all you are interested in is a physical thing. In that sense I would lose interest, not respect as long as she respects herself and did it because she wanted to not to impress me
But if you're interested and will not say no to sex on the first date, why should it be any different for her?
She could just as easily wonder if she's the only person you've done that with or if you're just interested in a physical thing.. but if the two of you really like each other, both are interested in more than just a sexual relationship/one night stand, and decide to have sex, then why does it matter?
It shouldn't matter
I hate double standards, no matter who benefits, me or her, don't care.
if there should be a lose of respect for having sex on the first date it should be on both people, we both willingly engaged in it.

Laugh for the day, ping!
Is that like acid? Yeah to some people, jail her! Not!
Did they scream "I"m melting...I'm melting!!!!!"
This is a clear act of violence directed against agents of Satan. The smudge stick is a widely recognized token of ritual sacrifice in demonic cults.
Did the little old lady not know that the water, blessed by Christ, would burn into the souls of those whom it touched? Has she no mercy for these dedicated souls of Satan? Can't we all just get along?
In order to maintain its absolute objectivity the court will have no choice but to find her guilty and determine appropriate punishment. She could be required to listen to Planned Parenthood speeches. She might be required to assist in a ritual abortion. At the very least she needs to be locked up to consider the implications of her transgressions.
This brave little old lady faces prison for her moral courage. We are a demonic society, punishing good with evil. The wrath of God will be without mercy.
Hey...it works well on Vampires, at least in every vampire movie I've seen.
Unless you are a demented, murdering, blood sucking, pro-serial killer...the water is harmless.
These demented, murdering, blood sucking, pro-serial killer parasites, have full protection of the law, while the bearer of water, gets persecuted, by the law.
The new normal!
Holy water is a mental construct. Water is not realy holy except in the mind of the declarer
Is "holy water" available at Wally Mart, or did she get it by mail order?
Were the abortion activist burned badly after they were spayed with holy water....that would make it assault with a wetly weapon!!!
If I could be on her jury. She walks free.
Ironically, smudging sage has been used along with incense in Christian churches almost from the beginning. Judging from many Christian accounts, as well as some personal experience, sage smudging does tend to dispel or drive away "something" bad.
For example, methamphetamine users find the smell to be very repulsive and leave. Likewise I saw a small amount burning in an ashtray being used against some men identified as undercover police officers, who left while loudly proclaiming it to be a revolting stench, though it was a very mild odor.
Many people do not move into a new home or apartment until it has been sage smudged. One such individual said it was good against "bad moods or feelings" left behind by former occupants, or just random "badness" in the place for whatever reason.
Some use it when they know a place is soon to have a lot of stress or tension between people, to help keep things from getting out of hand and to more relax the mood of the situation.
But, like the lady in the story, most any kind of smoke is unpleasant if you have lung problems.

text: Your worries are my dream. I MISS those days and I want them back. The new systems have slowly started to ruin PC games. Most PC games that come out now are released on consoles as well, which means everything gets dumbed down to console level, instead of taking advantage of what computers can do. ESPECIALLY when it comes to controls. Even MMORPG controls are starting to get super dumbed down to limited number of buttons so they can be more console friendly. Gameplay and content gets severely dumbed down as well, as there is a much larger market for children when it comes to consoles. Now I certainly like the improvements to console games, but it's been at the expense of PC gaming unfortunately. Elder Scroll games took a huge dive starting with Oblivion as they started to focus more on making them good console games, instead of good PC games. Can you do a lot in Oblivion and Skyrim? Yeah, and they are visually impressive, but pale in comparison to former titles like Morrowind, which was a PC game that got released on consoles, instead of a console game for PC's. I donno, I just miss the days when game companies took advantage of everything a PC and a full keyboard could do for a game. Now they just dumb everything down for a simple controller scheme and whatever the consoles can handle, then port em to PC to expand their market.

SGM returns to Splendour in the Grass
Published: ASIA
AUSTRALIA: SGM IP65 fixtures have been used for the second consecutive year at the Splendour in the Grass music and arts festival. After being implemented into Melbourne-based visual artist Sam Songailo's Programme One piece last year, the fixtures were selected once again for this year's Programme Two installation by ETA lighting designer Taylor Chadwick, based on their prior performance.
'From our experiences in previous years, we had to ensure that the specified lighting fixtures would be able to withstand extended periods of rain,' explained Mr Chadwick. 'Last year, the SGM units operated flawlessly despite the torrential rain, so it was a no-brainer to utilise the IP65-rating of these units again this year.'
The design of Programme Two featured a painted structure, covering 400 sq-m and boasting 50 individual 1m x 4m tall pillars. These were placed in a configuration resembling a colosseum. In addition, eight P-5 wash lights and one G-Spot LED moving head were used to light up the structure during each night of the event.
'Sam's works typically involve striking colours and bold geometric patterns,' Mr Chadwick commented. 'I required LED wash fixtures that could complement this at night, immersing the space inside of the work in deeply saturated colours, while also having the intensity to throw light over a distance, casting shadow outward as a continuation of the lines of the structure. The P-5 at a wide lends option fulfilled this design spec perfectly and operated flawlessly throughout the festival.
'The G-Spot was deployed as a key figure of the artwork, acting somewhat as the epicentre of the entire area,' he continued. 'Standing above the crows atop a 5m upright, we used it as a searchlight which pivoted continuously on its pan, searching the doorways and crowds as they entered the artwork. The response was perfect, people were chasing and jumping the beam as it circled.'

Savana Styles - Gagged And Plugged

I know that I am a kinky girl but what I didn't know was that Rob Piper was just as kinky.

Ya hey…you should know by now that every time Die Antwoord release a new music video the standard procedure is to make it controversial. Their new one 'Banana Brain' is no different and this time they threw in some Oscar Pistorius shooting references, a big penis and debateable blackface.
The Pistorius references include Ninja wearing prosthetic legs, shooting at traffic lights and trying to shoot his girlfriend Yo-Landi who locks herself in the bathroom.
Thats from the trippy scene in a UV lit room where Ninja is covered in dark paint and if you really wanna see the giant penis then pause it at the 4.15 mark.
No doubt it's gonna be controversial, but what did you expect.

BetOnline Payout Methods
Using the same due care and attention, along with a similar variety of payout methods, BetOnline can send you your winnings in as little as 12 hours and up to 10 business days. This is dependant on your withdrawal method but seeing at least four options that promise payment within 48 hours impressed us. As with all online financial transactions, please check in at the cashier section to get detailed BetOnline deposit and payout information.
One of the weaknesses of BetOnline are the significant banking fees they charge on payouts. You'll pay a six per cent credit card fee on top of the normal payout fees. And you'll also pay a $25 standard check for, or $50 if you want the check delivered within seven business days.

After a day of fast paced sports betting action, the ultra modern Casino at BetOnline is a great place to relax and unwind before calling it a day.
BetOnline Betting Lines
We love the fact that sportsbook is especially clean as the betting lines, for the sports you select, is the only text that shows up on the screen. From auto racing, to grand slam tennis action, and everything in between, BetOnline brings you wagering options for every sport on the planet, although their major focus is the U.S. big four – NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL. BetOnline is an industry leader when it comes to posting morning lines, as they are always one of the first to get their numbers up on the big board. It's also not surprising to find some of best underdog betting odds at BetOnline. Bettors can also find wagering lines on games that are circled or OFF at other books, due to injuries or suspensions, posted in the BetOnline sportsbook.
As an added touch, expert handicappers in the Sports Betting Edge section break down the betting lines and offer up free picks on all the big games. As well, BetOnline offers an extensive database of up to date statistical information on all of the sports it offers for wagering purposes. And informed bettor is a successful bettor.
BetOnline Casino Review
We mentioned kicking back in the Casino because BetOnline offers one of the best in the industry.

Survey: Private Label Brands are Good Alternatives
In addition, one-third of consumers would pay more for private label brands, according to a Nielsen study.
SCHAUMBURG, Ill. – Private labels are no longer the lower-price, lower-quality substitute to name brand products in U.S. consumers' minds, according to a new study by The Nielsen Co., parent company to Convenience Store News, which surveyed nearly 54,000 U.S. consumers online in June and July.
Store brands are viewed positively by the majority of U.S., as nearly three-quarters (72 percent) of consumers said in a recent survey that store brands are good alternatives to name brands, and 62 percent of consumers reported they consider store brands to be as good as name brands, which is a three point increase from 2005, the company stated.
Private label products now account for more than $81 billion in the U.S, up 10.2 percent over the past year, according to Nielsen Co. data of U.S. grocery, drug and mass merchandiser stores, including Wal-Mart, for the 52 weeks ending Sept. 27.
In addition, 63 percent of consumers believe private label brand quality is as good as name brands, while and one-third of consumers said they consider some store brands are higher quality than name brands.
"While private label products continue to follow the success of consumer packaged goods (CPG) manufacturers' name brand introductions, more CPG retailers are making private label a priority with messages on quality as strong as messages on value," Todd Hale, senior vice president, Consumer & Shopper Insights for Nielsen Co., said in a statement.
However, not all consumers show love for private labels. Sixteen percent of survey respondents stated store brands are not suitable when quality matters, and the same percentage said store brands have "cheap-looking" packaging, according to the company.
The survey also revealed that price and value are vital factors. Nearly three-quarters (74 percent) of consumers said it is important to get the best price on a product, while two-thirds (67 percent) of consumers agreed store brands usually provide "extremely good value" for the money, and 35 percent of consumers are willing to pay the same or more for store brands if they like it. Conversely, under a quarter (24 percent) of consumers believed name brand products are worth the extra price, according to the company.
"In today's economy, consumers are looking for ways to save money and for many of them, that means taking a new look at private label products," Hale said. "With more retailers offering satisfaction guarantees on private label purchases and even serving up blind taste testing and trial programs, consumers' exposure to private label products has never been greater."
He continued: "Private label development varies greatly by department and we see strongest growth in products where private label has historically been strong. Translating private label growth outside of commodity categories requires innovation—an area where CPG manufacturers, rather than retailers, traditionally excel."

The Role Of Firms And Entrepreneurship On Local Development
The present paper considers and analyzes the role of management and entrepreneurship on the firm and region sustainability. This relation was explored in terms of managers' behaviour related to three aspects of sustainable development, namely, economic, social and environmental.Through a questionnaire survey of 251 micro, small and medium firms in Vale do Sousa region located in the Northern Portugal, it was discovered that, contrary to what most of literature presents, managers are putting in first place the environmental aspect of sustainability, followed by the social aspect, and the economic as the last one. These results lead to a characterization of firms as being sustainable, but with a risk-averse and non innovative behaviour on the part of the firms' management.

No way to predict
Labor can be as sort as a few hours or as long as a few weeks. Some women in labor never progress or labor stops and they need a c-section. The position of the baby, the position of the mother and many other factors play a role into the length of labor and the length of pushing. There is no way to predict how long labor will last or how long a particular stage of labor may last.

GOLF: Bemidji opens season at Staples
STAPLES — Despite the wet conditions, the Bemidji High School golf team finally hit the course Saturday.
The Lumberjacks went to Vintage at Staples for their first invitational of the spring and, despite not having most of their upperclassmen, finished a respectable seventh out of 12 teams in the meet.
"It was kind of nasty but we were able to get out there," BHS head coach Seth Knudson said. "We had a younger team today with the juniors and seniors at prom and they did pretty well."
The Lumberjacks scored a 373 to finish seventh; Chris Washington was Bemidji's lowest scorer with an 86 for the afternoon while Matt Gregg was a stroke behind him at 87.
Shattuck St. Mary's edged host Staples-Motley for the team title, scoring a 303. Staples had a 305 while Albany and Crosby-Ironton tied for third at 337.
Staples' Andrew Israelson was the medalist for the meet with a 70.
Rounding out Bemidji's scorers on the day were Tanner Turn hit 99, Brandon Reynolds 101, Matt Larson 102 and Nick Leitner 106.
"We had a few high scores in there, and maybe the kids could have done a little better, but for our first time out on the course we did pretty well," Knudson said.
The Lumberjacks are scheduled to return to the course Monday when they will compete at Coleraine.

Acorn Care and Education is a leading provider of schooling for young people with emotional, social and behavioural difficulties. With most of its schools already using Classroom Monitor independently, the group is now centrally co-ordinating the system's use across their EBD schools in England.
Simplified Assessment: Less time, better results
Waterloo Lodge School, Chorley, is an established user of Classroom Monitor and is rated 'outstanding' by Ofsted. Teacher Debbie Procter enthuses: 'it's a useful and effective tool, and provides a whole package. You can access it anytime of day, anywhere, and instantly put in your marks and collect data. That freedom of use is especially important.'
The easy-to-use nature of Classroom Monitor has made it a hit with her colleagues, too: 'Staff have responded well to it; it's very person friendly. Using it has become second nature to us now – it's part of our everyday teaching life'.
For Ross Mundy at Crookhey Hall School in Lancaster, Classroom Monitor provides a 'faster, quicker, and more effective' system of assessment and reporting. This makes it much easier to monitor the range of qualifications that pupils work on in SEN schools: 'everything is in one place which is much more efficient than paper documents. It helps with informing planning, understanding the child, and reporting to authorities.'
Motivating pupils with targeted lesson plans
'If lessons are more in tune with the level of the child, behaviour improves'. Gregoire Godin, Heath Farm School, Kent.
Ross finds the online markbook particularly helpful in building targeted lesson plans because 'you can visibly see the gaps'. The markbook is an effective way of showing pupils their individual learning pathways, and 'if the child can see what they are achieving, this is a motivating factor for them. They respond well to structure'.
Pupils also benefit from Classroom Monitor's simple, visual way of displaying results. Pupils have their own personal target and progress reports, and they can request a summary report from Classroom Monitor at any time.
Rapid and Regular Reporting
Classroom Monitor is being used by Acorn schools to report effectively to social services, local authorities and educational psychologists.
Debbie also found it invaluable when preparing for the Ofsted inspection: 'Classroom Monitor made preparation for the Ofsted inspection a lot quicker and efficient. You can show off your data report and progress charts really easily and present your statistics in various formats.'
The flexibility of the reporting system also helps with team management: 'I can identify staff members who aren't delivering, I can see whole group results easily, and I can see these results at any time of year.'
Working with the Classroom Monitor Team
Classroom Monitor comes pre-loaded with P-Scales for tracking alongside standard National Curriculum levels, from P1 to NC level 8. It supports half-sub level tracking, and custom skills ladders can also be imported.
Schools that use Classroom Monitor are supported by our BETT-nominated support desk, including phone, online messaging, email and online training videos. A full in-school training session is also included in a subscription to Classroom Monitor so you can see the benefits straight away.
'We always get an instant response, so there's no user frustration. We have faith in the system' Debbie Proctor, Waterloo Lodge.
