Regatta – The event Sarawakians should not miss
January 24, 2014 by Borneo Kid
Filed under General
Regatta is a type of sport gaining popularity in Sarawak especially in Kuching and Baram, Northern Sarawak. Regatta is held annually in both places. This sport usually has 15 to 20 peddlers and 1 person is the leader of the team guiding them. According to Sarawak Tourism, it is held on 12 – 14 September 2014 this year for the event in Kuching and on August 2014 for the one in Baram.
Multicultural and peaceful as it is nowadays, there was a racial war in Sarawak among local tribes a long time ago. To solve this, Sir Charles Brooke proposed the boat race to change the way of their dispute against each other. Instead of headhunting, they battle each other in boat race to prove their strength and power.
Enough with history. Let's focus on the main event.
In 2013, the race category was divided into 4 categories. They are Balok Boat, Bidar Boat, Kenyalang Boat and Tambang Boat. Mostly the races were in Bidar Boat category.
Dragon boat race was introduced last year and foreign teams from Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and other Asian countries participated in this race as well. The boats were shaped like a dragon, featuring the head and tail of a dragon.
Different races have their own unique attributes of their boats. Boats that are used for the race are usually the longboats. For example, the Malays have their Perahu Balok (Balok Boat) that is originally created from a whole timber tree trunk using simple instruments such as the "parang" and "beliong" to cut down the tree. The Melanau Community has a few types of boats, known as Bahong, Badong, Bakong, Buangan and Bidar. Orang Ulu's boats are called "Haruk Adang usung Tingang" which means "flying boat with hornbill bow". There are many other boats that belong to the other races. Since each of the boats have their own unique features, it would take an entire different article to be written about it.
The boats were given interesting names such as Burong Raja Wali Senang Hati (Happy Kingfisher), Tidak Disangka (Unexpected) – that sounded cooler in English, Seri Bulan Pelandok Dara (Moon Virgin Mousedeer) and Bendera Baru Note Sarawak (Flag New Note Sarawak). Most of the names sounded intriguing, and kudos to them for coming out with such names.
The roads leading to the area are usually closed to give way to the event. Hundreds of local vendors could be seen at the roadside along Waterfront. Furthermore, many other activities held during the event such as duck catching event, kayaking and Brooke Swim. For those who wonder what the duck catching event was, well, you should not be. The name says it all. Ducks were released into the river for people to catch. It must be fun to watch people chasing ducks in the river while the ducks only think about running for their lives. Brooke Swim is an event where 20 people swim from Sapi Jetty to Waterfront grand stand.
Traditions, old and ancient as it is, are priceless. People learn from their past. In this case, instead of battling in a war, they battle in a race. Now, we can live in harmony and understand each other albeit having different race and culture. Win or lose is an experience people had at least once in their lives, and by working together, it makes the victory sweeter or the losing less painful.
Well, we sure cannot wait for this exciting event. Hope to see you there this year!

RUFC - Troy wants to play for Rotherham
Rotherham United Manager, Steve Evans named his retained list on Monday and one name on there might have been a surprise to a few Millers fans.
Defender Troy Brown joined the Millers with glowing reports from Ipswich Town last summer being Andy Scott`s sixth signing. But, after quite a lot of hype around the young centre-back, Troy only featured six times before going out on loan to Aldershot Town.
Speaking to MillersPlayer about his retained list, Troy was mentioned to Steve Evans who said, 'Troy has been here and he's had a fitness test as well to see where he is. He's a smashing lad who wants to play for Rotherham United.
'Troy feels that he didn't get much of an opportunity here although he accepts he had one or two games where he was way below the standard you'd accept of someone wearing the shirt of this football club. He comes with a good pedigree from Ipswich Town with people speaking very highly about him. So, we'll give him the chance and if he's good enough he'll be involved if not he'll get different options.`
In interviews, former Manager, Andy Scott gave the impression that the twenty-one year old was suffering from home sickness but Steve Evans said, 'He had a little smile when I asked him if he was homesick, saying he'd never been homesick. We gave him an alternative and if he didn't want to come back then he could move on but he made it absolutely clear that he wanted to be part of it here.'
Don`t forget, you can also catch Vital Rotherham on Facebook and Twitter!

Update: He got waived!
Ha-Ha-Hassan Adams and cash considerations to Clippers for a future second-round draft pick – source.
That's not the big move we're all expecting but hey, a great GM can do wonders with a second-round draft pick, no? There's also the Bargnani to Dallas rumour but be aware that there's going to be tons of deals involving Howard being thrown out.
Maybe the trade is a way for Colangelo to create some roster space for a bigger trade involving O'Neal, see, we'll need to take back half a team in order to trade his 21M salary. After this trade the roster stands at 13 players. After being signed by Colangelo as a "defensive stopper" who New Jersey was supposedly ruing letting go, Hassan was nothing more than dead-weight. He only got in the games when we were either up 20 or down 20. At least he gave us something to laugh at during those blowout losses, nobody will him miss him more than AltRaps since the Roll Calls just got a lot less funnier.
Tonight's game is on TSN2 so check back around that time for some links. In the meanwhile, we need to find ourselves a brand new cheerleader.

This result has Julian Farren-Price and his Cookson 12 About Time in pole position to claim his fourth consecutive OPS title. He holds a seven point lead over Merlin with St Jude (Noel Cornish) a further six points adrift. Farren-Price is also in prime position to take the ORCi division series win
Recalling the race, Farren-Price said 'The first 30 miles were great – we managed to get in front of our rivals Occasional Coarse Language Too and Midnight Rambler and were in company with Victoire.
'The breeze shifted all around from 2 to 19 knots but averaged out at about 10-12 knots. We had a lovely tack going into the coast and a very ordinary tack coming out – we hit some nasty swell.
'Merlin had a cracking race – when the breeze filled in from the north east they just took off and at the 1635hrs sked I thought we were in trouble (we had given them too much time),' Farren Price continued.
'I'm happy with our tactical performance – we picked the shifts well.'
About Time was the last boat to cross the finish line at 23:25:51 before the time limit expired with two yachts Wax Lyrical (Les Goodridge) and Long Time Dead (Matthew Fensom) unable to reach the finish line in time.
Given the late hour of their finish, Farren-Price and his crew opted to return to Sydney and were having dinner (or a midnight snack) of lasagna approximately one hour after crossing the finish line as they made their way home.
The 63 nautical race to Newcastle, the longest in the OPS, was sailed in a light and fickle breeze that was predominantly from the north but flicked between north, east nor'east and north east as the race wore on.
The fleet of 21 started off Manly at 1000hours on Saturday morning in 4 knots of breeze from almost due north, after Race Officer Denis Thompson was forced to invoke the insufficient wind start sequence.
This sequence had the fleet motor in the company of the start vessel MV Offshore in the direction of Newcastle, until there was sufficient breeze for the smallest boats to achieve an average speed to arrive in the Newcastle finishing area before the 0000hours time limit.
'There was a total glass-out in the Harbour with the rain taking the breeze away, so we motored until we could find sufficient breeze to get the fleet away. Just off Manly, the rain showers cleared and a light northerly breeze trickled in, and racing commenced,' Thompson said
'Another rain shower came through shortly after the start and killed the breeze with Samarkand the last boat to cross the start line.'
At the 1635hrs radio position sked, Ichi Ban was off Catherine Hill Bay and had a distance of approximately 15 nautical miles to reach the finish line off Stockton Wharf. Andrew Wenham's Volvo 70 Southern Excellence II (the former Ichi Ban) was three nautical miles behind.
Quetzalcoatl (Antony Sweetapple) was at the rear of the fleet south of Terrigal and the crew had a long night at sea ahead of them battling to reach the finish line prior to the 0000hours time limit.
Aboard the finishing boat Wombat, moored in the vicinity of Stockton Wharf, Dianne Fitzgerald reported at 1730hrs, more light northerly winds yet the Bureau of Meteorology had issued a strong wind forecast of 20-30 knots for the evening.
'We'll see if the forecast breeze comes through and pushes the fleet home. We're all ready and waiting to greet them as they finish. The 'Rum Runners' are alerted and on standby to greet the boats as they tie up at Newcastle Cruising Yacht Club,' Fitzgerald said.
2013 Rolex Sydney Hobart winner Victoire, Darryl Hodgkinson's Cookson 50 was the first to retire citing time constraints and she would not be the last. In all, 12 yachts retired all citing time constraints as their reason with seven of the 21 boat fleet finishing the race.
Five yachts represented the race finishing club, the Newcastle Cruising Yacht Club: Marta Jean, Raging Bull (John Streeter), She's the Culprit (the Culprit Syndicate skippered by Michael McDonald), Long Time Dead (Matthew Fensom) and Summersalt (Tim Gleeson).
The planned return Newcastle to Sydney Ocean Pointscore race (which was a non-pointscore race) was due to commence at 0900hours this morning with only one yacht, Southern Excellence II, approaching the start line.
The Bureau of Meteorology issued a strong wind warning with northerly winds of 20-30 knots predicted for the morning shifting southerly in the middle of the day. Andrew Wenham took the prudent option and withdrew from racing opting to motor home rather than risk the forecasted adverse conditions.
The final race of the Ocean Pointscore Series is the Lion Island Race, starting on Sydney Harbour at 10.00am on 15 March.
About Time leads both the IRC and ORCi division in the Autumn Ocean Pointscore Series, which includes all the OPS races from 26 January through until 15 March and concludes with the Sydney Wollongong race that will be conducted on 22 March. St Jude currently leads the PHS division.

No matter how much I've written in my journal, I often show up to the page with a scattered mind and little idea of what I want to talk to myself about. Maybe it's the act of committing words on the page that unsettles me. When the thoughts are still in my head, they can float around and go in any direction. Writing them on the page makes them real.
Words, both written and spoken, have power. Both take courage. That solidification of thoughts breathes life into the anonyminity fogging up my brain.
Writing is a release. Writing validates. Writing gives voice to mind clutter.
What journaling does is allow me freedom and space, especially when I'm most reluctant to write. It opens up the pathways, allowing the writing habit to take hold. I find journaling lets me get all those annoying thoughts and rants and randomness that I wouldn't share with others out of the way so I can focus on writing my stories. It pushes me to listen to my characters. Journaling doesn't take away creative time, rather, it provides the groundwork.
The habit of journal writing plants a seed of hope for the future. No matter what level of despair you face, the pages are waiting for you. No judgement, and a place of solitude.
The big question is how to journal when you have no idea where to start.
Got your notebook? (or keyboard?) Pen? (or fingers?) Great. Now write the date. (Or not, it's your journal). Then write something. Anything. Not happening? Here are some ideas:
- A quote.
- A mantra.
- A visualization.
- An affirmation.
- What resonated about the day before?
- Voice your regrets and fears.
- Breathe life into your hopes and dreams.
Your thoughts deserve validation. Start small, but make it habit of turning to your journal. Then there will be fewer times you show up to a blank page, or canvas, or performance space. Because when you give your randomness validation, you can focus on your creativity.
Non traditional creatives, I'm talking to you too. Journaling can help you bring your A-game to your favorite sport, rearranging your house, planting a garden, cooking, or building a relationship with your kids. Journaling will let you be in touch with your intuition so you can find solutions and approach problems with a clearer head.
Try it. Commit to a page a day. A paragraph if that's too much. Hey, even write a cool sentence to sum up the day before if that's all you've got. Just show up, and the words will follow. Even if you have to bribe them.

I wrote about the charming pilot for the TV series MINUSCULE back in September. MINUSCULE is a new CG series from France created by Hélène Giraud and Thomas Szabo at Futurikon. The show is comprised of seventy-eight shorts chronicling various (mis)adventures in the insect kingdom. When I wrote about the first short, I said, "If the rest of the episodes hold up to the quality of this pilot, I think we're in for something special."
Well, two more of the shorts have been posted onto YouTube and I'm happy to report that they're absolutely wonderful. The visual mixture of live-action backgrounds, semi-realistic characters and cartoony animation works flawlessly, and the storytelling and pacing of these shorts are things of beauty. In the "Catapult" short, the grasshopper's snickering laugh seems like a tribute to Tex Avery's bulldog character, which is only appropriate since these shorts remind me of Golden Age theatrical shorts more than anything else I've seen recently. The show is currently airing on the Disney Channel in the US, and if I read the schedule correctly, new shorts air Sunday nights at 7:55pm. The show's official website is Minuscule.tv.

What is your experience with the Lab Series BB Tined Moisturiser ?
Descriptions sound almost too good and the price is relatively high (about 40 for only 50ml). What alternative products (or combinations) would you recommend for moisturising and tanning?

As a venture capitalist with OpenView Venture Partners, Adam Marcus sees a lot of projections from early-stage companies. No doubt, some are fairly comical -- some might show that a company will hit $1 billion in revenues after just a few years.
"I'm less focused on the numbers," Marcus said. "Instead, I care more about the thinking behind the numbers."
So how can entrepreneurs put together solid projections? Marcus has some advice:
Projections should have quarterly numbers for the first year. From there, you'll have annual numbers for two to four years.
Marcus wants the founders to deeply understand the projections. It's not just for the "finance guy." This means answering questions like "Who are the target customers?" "What is the pricing?" and "What will the sales and marketing strategy be?"
Adam says the projections for a consumer Internet company are focused mostly on user growth and engagement. Key questions include "What is the average time spent on the site and the number of page views per visit?" and "Is it possible to target the audience based on interests?"
In most cases, monetization will be based on a CPM (cost per thousand) basis. So in the projections, you'll try to figure out the right amount as well as when the user base will reach critical mass. If the audience is highly targeted, you should be able to get a premium on the CPM rate.
To estimate the market size, you will work by analogy. Example: Suppose you plan to sell to financial institutions. You'll find the number of companies in the segment and see how much they typically spend on similar products.
But Adam also believes you need to show how much marketing/sales spend you need to get a customer. Is the pricing high enough to produce profits over time? Will customers renew?
Some companies -- like Apple (Nasdaq:AAPL), Groupon (Nasdaq:GRPN), LinkedIn (NYSE:LNKD) and Zynga (Nasdaq:ZNGA) -- likely were able to handily beat their initial projections, but this is rare. The fact is it often takes time to get a strong base of revenues. Actually, even standout companies like Yelp and Angie's List (Nasdaq:ANGI) have yet to reach $100 million in revenues, even though they have great brands.
For more on this, I recently discussed growth ramps for early-stage companies.

A three-alarm fire damaged the 88-year-old Majestic Hotel in Ocean City, city officials reported.
Firefighters arrived at the hotel, located on the Boardwalk at 7th Street, around 12:30 p.m. Friday. Witnesses told investigators they heard a large boom, then saw smoke coming from the building. The fire was extinguished a short time later.
The hotel is closed for the winter, city officials said. Only one person, a maintenance worker, was known to be on the premises at the time of the blaze. A cadet firefighter was treated on the scene for a minor injury sustained while fighting the fire.
Investigators believe the fire started in the building's basement. The cause has yet to be determined.

Re: "With election and cliff behind him, real Obama returns" (Charles Krauthammer column, 1-4).
I think it is time to look at the real Krauthammer rather than the "real Obama." He regularly criticizes President Obama for "redistributionism" while showing little concern for the form of it he favors: redistribution of wealth upwards into the hands of extremely wealthy people.
He calls Obama's efforts to reverse that upward trend "class warfare" yet ignores the already devastating impact of another form of "class warfare" which has been going on for decades.
Using their political influence to cut back governmental regulations and to get "corporate welfare" solidly entrenched, the wealthy and powerful (the so-called "1 percent") have done exceedingly well these past few years. Meanwhile a great many of the "99 percent" have suffered severe consequences. This has been a well-documented and very deliberate "redistribution" of wealth from the many to the few.
Krauthammer seems to be all in favor of that trend. Is the pot calling the kettle black in blithe ignorance of the hard facts of this new and gross income inequality? Or is it a deliberate strategy to mislead the public about what is going on and to undermine confidence in the newly re-elected president's efforts to build a more just and equitable society?
I wish Krauthammer would admit his own "redistributionism," explain it, and try to justify it as a truly equitable system which serves "we the people" and the "general welfare" of all. Then we could have a healthy debate about what the president is trying to do.

What is the purpose of fasting? Why do we do it? What can we hope to accomplish?
Have you ever gone through a fast. Did you accomplished anything? Did you break strong holds? What were you really trying to do? I ask, does fasting change God. Can we manipulate Him into doing something for us?
I believe it does several things. Just from a natural stand point it helps us to keep our flesh under subjection to our spirit.
1Cor:9:27: But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
The real Paul, Paul�s spirit, was talking about his flesh. He said I keep my body under. This body is not the real me. We have got to realize who the real us is!
Does God require us to fast?
Isaiah 58:5. Is it a fast that I have chosen, a day for a man to afflict his soul? Is it to bow down his head like a bulrush, and to spread out sackcloth and ashes? Would you call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the Lord? Is this not the fast that I have chosen: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out; when you see the naked, that you cover him, and not hide yourself from your own flesh?
Then your light shall break forth like the morning, your healing shall spring forth speedily, and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard. Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; you shall cry, and He will say, `Here I am.' If you take away the yoke from your midst, the pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness, If you extend your soul to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light shall dawn in the darkness, and your darkness shall be as the noonday. The Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and strengthen your bones; you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.
First, God asks a question; Is it a fast that I have chosen?
then He answers it vs. 6. Is this not the fast that I have chosen: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke? In other words Is God requiring hunger? Does self abasement please God? That is not the final goal or purpose of this fast. Just to rip your clothes and throw ashes in the air.
Couple of points.
This fast is a required fast. Why is God requiring this fast? God had a definite purpose in mind at the very start of it all. Not because He wants to see us hungry, but because He wants to see us restored and to restore others. We can't do that if we are not first restored ourselves. Can we?
How does fasting accomplish this? Good question ?
Look back at Isaiah 58. �. God is asking the question, is this the kind of fast I am requiring of you.
Our works don�t impress God. Faith impresses God. Nothing else!!!
We have to go to Him on His terms, we aren�t going to cajole God into something just because of our actions. We sometimes thing well God if I do this then I want you to that. He won�t be coned into something. Without faith it is impossible to please Him.
If you are trying to please Him with works you will fail. It�s just not Scriptural.
Rom:4:2: For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.
We sometimes think there is some formula, and all we have to do is push the right buttons and then God moves. No it doesn�t work that way.
There are Godly principles here. Sowing and reaping, we can�t reap until we sow. This puts us in a place where we can be a receiver. You have to give first in order to be a receiver. We can't harvest until we have planted. You see that God is requiring this. Why? So He can get us in a place where we can receive from Him. If we are not receiving from Him, then it means we have to put ourselves into a place where we can receive from Him.
James wasn�t specifically talking about fasting, but He was talking about submission. Ja.4:7. That is certainly part of the process. Putting your self in a place of submission to God's will. You can't do that if you don�t know God's will, can you? If you want to break the yoke you have to be submitted to God
He knows we can�t be receptive if we are not in submission.
That�s one of the purposes of fasting.
Generally, You deny the flesh and this allows your spirit man to rise up.
This is what God wants. He wants our spiritual antenna up so we can hear .
He wants us to be able to receive from Him. We can�t do that if we are spending 4 hours a night watching TV.
You can deny your flesh without spending time in the word and prayer and also your own worship time. All that you will accomplish is that you might loose weight.
Specifically, a God led fast has a purpose (His purpose). It always has a positive
outcome, He wants to see His will fulfilled. Not only in us individually but also in us collectively. Many times God will lead us to fast individually for specific reasons.
There are often certain things in us He wants to clean up or straighten out. I know I have been led at times and I didn�t always know what God wanted until later.
I believe the purpose of a corporate fast is to help us find our individual place
within this local body so that we can begin if we haven�t already to walk in them. and then also to fulfill our collective purpose within the body of Christ as a whole.
If we can all find our individual position within the body and begin to walk in them then along with the right leadership and focus our individual gifts will edify and strengthen the collective body, and allow us to fulfill the plan of God both collectively and individually. A lot of bodies never fulfill that.
1 Corinthians 12:12 For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ.
Romans 12:5 so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.
Many pastors who have a strong vision for their local body and know what they are supposed to be doing, yet they can�t fulfill our individual calling, and are not responsible for that, but are only responsible for helping us to get going in the right direction together. We all have a responsibility in this.
If we don�t fulfill our individual purpose then the whole body could never be what God called it to be. (God has called us to fulfill His purpose together.)
Our success is directly tied to our pastor�s success, and our pastor�s success, is directly tied to ours. Their job is to show us our collective calling. They can�t show us our individual calling. We have a part to play in this. We can�t just sit on the pew and expect to see the perfect will of God performed in the body, it just won�t happen. There is a lot at stake here, more than just the individual success of any members. It�s the collective purpose of God for the body of Christ. We have a part to play in this joint success.
Joint success requires all of us walking in the will of God together, or it is not joint success.
When we fast together, we get revelation of our individual and collective purpose of who and what we are in Christ. We need to approach the next fast with these things in mind. We�re not just going hungry trying to get God to move and do something.
We are finding our purpose then walking in the things God has called us to walk in, then God will move.
If we won�t find our purpose then we will never fulfill the perfect plan of God in our lives. Our individual laziness will also affect the rest of the body, and we will never receive the full blessing ourselves. I would like to fulfill God�s perfect will.
Rom:12:2: And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable,
and perfect, will of God.
We can be in His good will and never come close to fulfilling the perfect will of God in our lives. There are churches all over the place that are doing just that. You could be one of them or you could go on to the next level. There are 3 levels here. We can�t get to the third level by being bystanders. It will never happen. Maybe some individually will reach out and fulfill their purpose, but we as a body will never collectively fulfill that purpose together if we aren't all participating. It�s a team effort.
Many pastors and leaders are seeking God to get direction and purpose for His body, and want us to do the same, and find the place in this body that God has preordained for us to occupy. What does the Word say? � without a vision the people perish.
Many times in a time of fasting not only are yokes broken but we are given specific direction, and the anointing required to fulfill the call of God on our lives � He's preordained us to fulfill these good works before the foundation of the world. Did you know that? You have a place within the body of Christ to occupy, and I'm not talking about a pew.
We have preordained works that God has called us to fulfill. Both individually and collectively as a body.
You and I have the responsibility to find out what our Fathers directions are, so we can fulfill that calling.
He will give us the specific direction and the anointing to fulfill His purpose, He�s not going to give us a purpose then leave us dangling is He? NO, He�s not!
Eph:2:10: For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Let's look at an example of this, in Acts 13:
Acts 13:1-3. Now in the church that was at Antioch there were certain prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, "Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.'' Then, having fasted and prayed, and laid hands on them, they sent them away.
Notice the conditions in which the Holy Ghost spoke,
Fasting and worshiping God. �
They were given a clear direction for their calling and an anointing to accomplish what the Lord sent them to do. These men were already accomplished ministers. They could have been satisfied with what they had right there, but God had more for them. You will notice in chapter 14 when it was talking about them it calls them Apostles. Paul didn�t start out as an Apostle, remember the good, and acceptable, and perfect, will. They wanted to fulfill that perfect will of God in their lives, So they were fasting, worshiping God, waiting on the Lord to give them direction, weren�t they?
Have you ever stopped to consider what would have happened to Paul and Barnabas if they had not taken the time to wait on God and seek Him, and avail themselves of Him. We have a part to play in this. You don�t just step out into the perfect will of God without clear direction, and you don�t get clear direction spending 4 hours a night watching TV.
A lot of people step out and do something for God, but just because you are doing something for God doesn�t mean that you are walking in His will.
The Word says unless the Lord build the house the labor is in vain. You can build
Something, but it will be vain labor. I want my labor to be in line with what the Lord wants for me don�t you?
Paul and Barnabas would not have received their Apostleship. They never would
Have had hands laid on them, and they would have never received the anointing to fullfill the work God had called them to fulfill, and they would have never fulfilled the perfect will of God in their lives
God equipped them and anointed them to fulfill His purpose. That equipping happened during a time of fasting and seeking Him, ministering to Him and worshiping Him, availing themselves to Him. The calling of God was already there, but they had to put themselves into a place where they could receive that calling and anointing didn�t they? .
Paul went on to fulfill the calling of God on His life and wrote 2/3s of the New Testament in the process.
God did not call any one person to do it all. Ministers get burned out trying to do it all. That is not God's will.
We each have a place to fulfill in God's plan. We have to seek God about the
calling and gifts He has given to us individually if we are ever going to build up the rest of the body. That�s what it is all about. There is not suppose to be a few people doing it all. It�s not supposed to work that way, every member is supposed to supply.
Every joint supplies to the whole.
We can not fulfill the purpose of our local body, if we can�t ourselves supply to every member what God has placed in our hand to supply, can we?
I would like for you to take the time to consider these things, and the next time you approach a fast, approach it with the attitude that you are going to put your fleshly desires aside, and put yourself in a position to receive from Him! Amen.

Lockdown: Escape From Furnace Series Fan fiction
((My first fanfiction! I hope you all enjoy it!))
I wasn't sure if I should have jumped from the ledge the moment I stepped foot in Furnace. Everything felt either to hot or too cold, and no one had any control over what they got to sleep with for the night. However, I did feel safer knowing that my pal Donovan slept right above me. He tended to help my paranoia whenever things got too dire. When the Blood Watch would pop up in the middle of the night and steel some poor kid from their bunks at night, Donovan was always there, helping me through the horror with just a simple smile.
He was picking away at the walls to make more room for more cells. The mere sound of picking the only thing that could be heard. No one really talked much with each other around here with the black suits guarding every hall. Their guns were always ready to strike down anyone, and they took great pride in it too. I remember seeing a boy, he had just turned fourteen the day he decided to make a run for it. Danny, I think his name was. A nice kid with as much ambition to get out of prison as I had. Danny had made a run for it through these very caves two weeks earlier before getting struck down by the butt of the Blacksuit's gun and taken away. Just like the blood watch. It was examples like Danny that kept me in line.
The Blacksuit walking the halls looked utterly bored as he gazed upon his sea of prey. All the prisoners were silent and didn't have any intention of escaping super fast and intelligent beings. I kept my eyes firmly ahead and slammed the pic-axe into the stone. It left my arms ringing in pain, but that was only the least of my worries. Zee, one of my closest friends in this hell-hole, got stuck doing laundry duty for the day. If I could trade places with him, I would have in a heart beat. Nothing felt worse than digging your own grave deeper into the ground. The guard suddenly disappeared around the corner, and I took my chance to speak to Donovan.
"What I wouldn't give to dig my way out of here." I whispered chipping stone bits at a time. Compared to Donovan's rough hits, mine were but mere fledglings. As if the stone laughed and mocked at me for being so weak. And I felt weak here.
"Alex. Don't talk like that here!" The blond snapped hitting the rock and pausing to glare at me. I knew how he felt about treason here. There was no way out, and nothing could convince him otherwise without a sure plan. But in a place like this, it felt impossible. "They will shoot you on the spot if they catch you saying that again. Or worse, they will put you in the hole."
The hole. I had heard a few kids talking about that once. They said it was a dark and horrible place. Even worse than running from guards now. It was hard to imagine a place worse than this. "I know. I just wish we could get out and see the fresh air. Have some real food for a change." My mouth watered just thinking about a brownie sundae, but now, it was about the only thing I could truly remember the taste of. The bland slop they fed everyone could speak for itself. Donovan's stomach rumbled, and he sighed lightly punching me in the arm.
"Now you've gone and done it." He murmured with a roll of his eyes.
I couldn't help but smile as we continued to break the walls. The kid named Jimmy hacked away beside us. His twig-like body almost shriveled away with each hit. Maybe it was just me, but every time I looked that way, he always seemed to be listening in on us. As if we were hiding something. It wasn't exactly a nice feeling, and I would have stopped him for it if it weren't for the fact we literally couldn't do anything if we tried now anyways.
The Blacksuit called out to us to put our tools away. All the inmates gathered around like cattle as we were herded into the main room. I resisted the urge to moo as we passed. My arms were like lead. I couldn't feel them, and I was pretty sure Donovan couldn't feel his either. Even he seemed to clasp his arms for a moment in a sign of drowsiness. "You ever get the feeling that you just want to drive one of these picks through their fat heads?"
"Oh yeah. I've had thoughts like that before. I wouldn't suggest trying it." The taller and more muscular friend whispered. "That's the fastest and most surest way to get hauled off.
Right. I shook my head wondering if Zee was having a better day. As I made my way the showers. Like all the other times, we were naked in what looked like a blood bath. The water sprayed down in red droplets from the stone around and made me and Donovan look like cotton candy twins for a minute except for the size differences. And by that, I mean more than one. We both grasped a new pair of clothes and slipped them on. Neither of us got lucky with clothes that fit well, but that was practically normal.
"Hey," I tried hoping to get Donovan's interest.
"Yea?" He whispered not even looking at me.
"Do you have any fond memories?" I was curious. Maybe he had a memory just waiting to be shared. It might just make him feel better, or it might just bring him down to the dumps. Either way, I couldn't hold back my curiosity to know what my cellmate had done in his life time. However, I only got back a grunt in reply.
"You might find out one day." He murmured following the other prisoners as they stalked the halls.
I didn't answer, seeing as how he didn't plan on giving me one any time soon, and kept walking silently through the red walls that gave me the impression of a beating heart. How could someone like him, the most handsome and strongest of Furnace, not want to escape? Well, he wasn't the strongest in Furnace, but with Donovan around I felt as if I could pass through any nightmare. With his presence, I felt safe.
I know that's hard to believe. I was thrust from home on the charge that I murdered my best friend, Toby, which I add that I didn't commit, sent down a hole in the earth to a place with vicious gangs, man-eating dogs, Blacksuits, and worst of all...The Warden. Yet it's all okay when He's around. Carl Donovan. Maybe it was just my imagination, but I could feel his eyes on me more often than normal. The thought didn't bother me, but I wasn't sure on how I felt about it either.
We trampled to the mess hall and my thoughts were interrupted by seeing a grinning Zee from ear to ear. "Hey guys!" His squeaky voice called over. "You won't believe it. I got to the food early today." Indeed, his tray was covered in gray mush. I wondered how he could be even remotely excited for food like that, but then again, it was better than nothing. I was about to ask how he had done it for future reference when a siren wailed into my ears.
My heart thumped loudly in my chest as my eyes scanned the area widely. Zee had dropped his tray in shock and had little time to worry over it before realizing that the siren was saying, "get into your cells". We bolted down the hall, Donovan already a mile ahead, and dodged kids who scrambled by in a panic. I craned my head behind me to catch a glimpse of what was happening only to see a skull bandanna whipped up in the air. Of course they would ruin a perfectly edible meal. Obviously, one of the inmates decided to start-up a fight he would surely lose. Zee darted up the stairs leaving me to catch up in the wild frenzy.
Kids toppled over one another, shoved others to the side, and even walked on each other to get to their cells in time. The ones on the first floor were lucky. I charged my way up the stairs and managed to make it up a few flights before I lost my footing. Yelping, my body flew backwards and ran straight . . . into Gary. The baddest skull leader of them all.

Phronk is an innovator and has been since June 2000. He's friends with Dead Robot, Mod Superstar and Raymi the Minx; these four bloggers are the Southern Ontario social club. They link to each other in their blogrolls, and comment on each other's posts, and share unflattering pictures of Stephen Harper…
But Phronk has the most colourful and compelling voice. His blog is surprisingly original, and very readable, and most of the art on display is his own. It's true Raymi and Dead Robot sometimes borrow his artwork to spice up their posts.
Phronk writes this about himself, "I'm a guy who lives in London, Ontario, doing various things, such as going to school (I'm a graduate student in psychology), going to work (I teach people and do science) and many other things. I really enjoy doing activities that are fun and eating things that taste good. I have a wonderful family, friends, and a dog. Bees make me nervous. That's all there is to me."
Actually there's a whole lot more to Phronk than that. A quick scan of his domain shows that he has boundless passion in multiple genres. For example, last fall he detailed the London Zombie Walk and his comment box was full after profiling the most listened to albums of 2008,
Phronk.com is good for funny cat photos, and 'ugly cakes' especially 'toilet cakes' which are edible cakes shaped like toilets (with yellow jello and candy bars in the center). And let's not forget about the vanilla chocolate cake that looks like overflowing cat litter boxes (my personal favourite).
Phronk documents lobster flavoured potato chips and good Google daily logos, exceptional movies that went straight to video, or straight to awesome as he puts it, and look at this early masterpiece Halifax Holiday photo post. Here he writes, 'I snap a random vacation picture, post it on my blog, and one of the people in the picture manages to find it. It's made even more incredible by the fact that everyone involved is as anonymous as can be.'
You get the feeling he's just goofing around, but writers know its a lot of hard work. Pretty much everyday this author explores something new. Most frequent topics include "life, music, movies, TV, psychology, philosophy, science, parapsychology, skepticism, technology, video games, horror, books, writing, news, stupid internet stuff, and whatever else comes into my head. It's all pretty self-indulgent, really."
There's a lot of Phronk to read – visitors should journey back to the year 2000 just to see how it all began. After a post listing his favourite movies, and another promising to make his new blog the repository for all his best stories, readers are treated to a very unusual sasquatch thriller wherein the monster appears on the highway and rear ends the car Phronk is test driving with a car salesman…
Some final wisdom from Phronk:
Contemporaneously should not be a real word.
Only semi-retarded emo kids post their crappy art to their blogs. Do you like the art? Check out Phronk's scrapbook, phronk.tumblr.com

Liberian authorities locate all 17 'runaway Ebola patients'
World Health Organisation says 1,229 people have now died of virus in four countries

Authorities in Liberia have found all 17 suspected Ebola patients who fled a quarantine centre in Monrovia at the weekend and transferred them to another clinic, the information minister said today.
"We are glad to confirm that all of the 17 individuals have been accounted for and have now been transferred to JFK Ebola specialist treatment centre," Lewis Brown said.
He also said that three infected African doctors who had received the experimental Ebola drug Zmapp were showing "remarkable signs of improvement", quoting an assessment by the doctor overseeing their treatment.
The World Health Organisation said today that the Ebola outbreak in West Africa has now killed some 1,229 people. It said 2,240 cases had been reported in Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria and Sierra Leone.
The latest figures include 84 additional deaths from 113 new cases reported between August 14th and 16th.
Officials warned that measures to restrict travel in heavily infected areas, including quarantines of whole villages and counties, are limiting access to food in many cases.

It's been a long haul for both the Band and Van Morrison; they have made their livings as rock & rollers for close to 20 years now. To judge solely by their new albums (Morrison's is his first release since 1974) time is catching up with them, though whether they will again outdistance it remains an open question. Morrison made better music in '64 and '65 with Them, the first (and last?) great Irish rock & roll band; as the Hawks, the Band made better music in '63, covering Bobby Bland and Muddy Waters tunes at the tail end of a Ronnie Hawkins session. Not that rock & roll has ever had anything to do with "progress."
There is a lot of neo-R&B huffing and puffing on A Period of Transition (from what to what?), but Morrison's performances rarely find a focus, almost never hit a groove. The grand gestures of Morrison's style at its most rhetorical ("We are Them, take it or leave it," he snarled during his 1964 sessions) fade in the air. The emotion that would justify those gestures, that would put a little terror into borrowed lines like "From a whisper to a scream," is just out of reach: Transition is "Jackie Wilson Said" without the bite.
The key to the album's sluggishness is the dullness of the horn charts. Van is the most inventive and lyrical arranger of horns rock & roll has known since the heyday of Stax-Volt, but "Flamingos Fly" is the only tune to which the horns add anything but sound; there, they add wit and a sense of fun. This is "Jackie Wilson Said" and something more; the album's finest number by a long distance. The groove is irresistible, and it capsizes the rest of the album.
Van Morrison once sang "Listen to the Lion" and made you feel as if you'd been cornered by one; he will do it again, but he doesn't do it on Transition. This is by no means a bad album, but it lives up to its title all too well.
"I'm not really here, I just stick around for my friends," Captain Beefheart used to say, and that sums up what I hear on Islands — which is not nothing. To be sure, there's not a grand gesture on it. I can't imagine this album meaning anything to someone who does not feel that his or her successes and failures are somehow reflected in the Band's. If one does feel that, Islands is anything but hollow — it may sound like an unassuming last word, if hardly a last stand.
Since the members of the Band have not moved to Hawaii, it's the album's title, and the specter of the Band's recent farewell concert, that implies that last word. Rick Danko and Levon Helm have signed solo recording contracts, and Helm is already working with Dr. John and Paul Butterfield; the thinness of the material on Islands suggests they may be keeping their best songs for their own albums, and the inclusion of a couple of oldies doesn't make up the difference. "Ain't That a Lotta Love," a barband staple that a couple of years ago on a San Francisco stage Levon, Garth Hudson, Danko, Neil Young, Tim Drummond and Ben Keith stomped out as if they meant to stop the sun in its tracks, is on Islands the stiffest excuse for R&B I ever want to hear; too many of Robbie Robertson's tunes offer cracker-barrel banalities without the music that could redeem them — or disguise them. "You don't know what you want 'til you find out what you need" might be true and it might not be, but the point is it isn't interesting.
Save for a couple of Richard Manuel's vocals, I was ready to give up on this record. Then I began to hear it on the radio, and it sounded fresh. Now, while the first side of the LP passes pleasantly and tiresomely enough, side two seems like real people talking: that last word. "Islands," the title instrumental, is slight and pretty — it disarms one's desire for grand gestures, and it sets a tone. The tone is one of moderation; that is almost what the best songs here are about, in their music, in the feeling they get across. Manuel's version of "Georgia on My Mind" recalls the heart he put into "Whispering Pines," almost eight years ago. "Knockin' Lost John," a fine, unprofound ditty about the Great Depression of the Thirties, simply speaks to the present, and again, Manuel, without ever reaching for a note, gives the piece its authenticity; his voice carries the authority of an old man who can put up with anything but who'd just as soon not. "I went through it once," he seems to be saying. "I'm damned if I'll go through it again."
And then there is "Livin' in a Dream," which closes out the set: a rewrite of "Row Row Row Your Boat." Well, it is the best song on Islands — a perfect cut. I hear it as a leave-taking, but then I have finales on my mind. The beat could not be less hurried, nor could the lines Levon sings, nor the way he sings them:
I'm gonna buy buy buy you
A sheepskin coat
I'm gonna string red rubies round your throat
Gently down the stream I will row your boat
'Cause you know we're only livin' in a dream.
There's no languor in the song, only pleasure; there are no promises that can't be kept, and the promises Levon makes seem to have been kept when the tune ends. That spirit doesn't sell records, but it may keep them in mind, when the time is right.
Still, in rock & roll a little modesty goes a long way. These are not the worst albums Van Morrison and the Band have made, but except for Morrison's "Flamingos Fly" and the Band's "Livin' in a Dream" they make the best almost inexplicable. One cannot think of the power of "Chest Fever" and easily understand the triviality of "Ain't That a Lotta Love"; one can't quite pin down the fatal difference between the urgency of "St. Dominic's Preview" or "You Don't Pull No Punches but You Don't Push the River" and the unconvincing strain of most of Transition. What you do, if you are committed to these artists, is wait.

A few month ago I started to get a clunking twanging noise when turning right. In stages I changed the drop pin links the wishbones and the anti roll bar. The problem continued The noise became worse and more often. Today I compressed the coil spring and checked the top bearing. It was bone dry and the housing was scarred. Not being able to get one until wednesday I greased the bearing up.I thought this might have done the trick but the noise continues. There is no play in the steering and I have never had a noise like this from a drive shaft. The engine mount seems to be ok. The track rod end is fine.I feel a new strut bearing may solve the problem. I am running out of ideas and expenses. Can you please think of any thing else that may be causing this noise. Your thoughts will be well appreciated. Regards Dave
have the same problem?

NO on 1: 3416 Maine Individual Contributions. Stand for Marriage Maine: Just 257
NO on 1/Protect Maine Equality is the organization leading the charge to vote NO on Ballot Question 1 in Maine this fall. Ballot Question 1 would overturn LD 1020, the law that made same-sex marriage legal in the state of Maine earlier this year. By my read of Maine campaign finance disclosure documents, the NO on 1 campaign, working to keep same-sex marriage legal in the state of Maine, has received 3,416 individual contributions from people living in the state of Maine.
Stand for Marriage Maine is the organization leading the charge to vote YES on Ballot Question 1 in Maine and make same-sex marriage against the law this fall. By my read of Maine campaign finance disclosures, Stand for Marriage Maine has received just 257 individual contributions from people living in the state of Maine.
The above figures are itemized contributions; very small contributions (like mine of $40) are not reported individually, but rather are lumped into a single row summing up all small contributions. NO on 1 / Protect Maine Equality raised $113,947.71 in small contributions in the 3rd quarter of 2009. Stand for Marriage Maine raised $82,759.13 in small contributions during the same period.
The following are maps of towns in Maine in which at least one person has given to a campaign. Towns in Maine where more than one person has given to a campaign are still represented by just one dot.
By a huge margin, more Maine towns and more Maine people have been giving to the NO on 1 campaign than have been giving to Stand for Marriage Maine.
It's easy to tell where the in-state excitement and commitment lie. The question is whether Stand for Marriage Maine's significant cash flow from out-of-state fundamentalist religious organizations will allow it to counter indigenous trends within the state of Maine itself. Stay tuned.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The White House's budget office says federal workers should expect to return to work Thursday morning as the partial government shutdown comes to an end.
The House and Senate both passed a measure late Wednesday to reopen the government and avert a federal default. Obama has not yet signed the bill.
But Sylvia Mathews Burwell, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, said Obama would sign the bill overnight. She was instructing federal employees to follow the news and to check the Office of Personnel Management's website for further updates about returning to work.
The measure awaiting Obama's signature restores government funding through Jan. 15 and extends the nation's borrowing authority through Feb. 7.
Hundreds of thousands of federal workers have been furloughed since the shutdown started Oct. 1.

Bignot Handed Blackpool Trial
Newport County's official Twitter page has tonight announced that defender Paul Bignot has joined Blackpool on trial with a view to a move to Bloomfield Road, and that the 25 year old could play some part in 'Pool's game against Rangers on Tuesday evening.
Bignot (who is a right back) began his career at Crewe, making 21 league appearances for them before joining non-league Kidderminster Harriers.
After being released by Kidderminster, he joined Newport where he has shone, attracting interest from clubs higher up the pyramid.
Indeed, earlier this summer he enjoyed a trial at Leicester, with it being reported that the Welsh club would be prepared to let him leave for a six figure sum.
Knowing Ian Holloway's connections with Dario Gradi, it is very possible that the Crewe manager has tipped him off about Bignot, despite letting him go earlier in his career.
'Pool are believed to have a few trialists in their ranks at the moment, with Scottish full back Bob Harris known to still be at the club after travelling to Portugal with the first team squad last week.
