Bacterial Lysis of Microalgal Cells
Bacterial Lysis of Microalgal Cells - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
This short communication reports a pioneering research of using bacteria for simultaneous algal cell disruption and cell wall-membrane utilization. Microalgae are regarded as one of the most promising feedstock that can potentially address the twin challenges of energy security and environmental protection due to their fast growth rate, high lipid content and CO2 biofixation capabilities. However, different from their terrestrial oil crops, the extracellular coverings of algae vary significantly, ranging from multiple layers of elaborate scales to highly mineralized coats to complex cell walls consisting of structural fibrils enmeshed in complex matrices. These strong cellular walls and membranes are resistant to disintegration, which makes lipid extraction from microalgae difficult. A bacteria-assisted algal cell disruption and lipid extraction method was studied here. The bacteria Sagittula stellata showed strong algicidal activity against two microalgae, Nannochloropsis oculata and Dunaliella salina. The algicidal rate reached 64.7% on N. oculata and 52.4% on D. salina in six days. A decrease in chlorophyll-a fluorescence density of both algae and bacteria addition was also observed. After 6-day treatment by S. stellata, hexane-extracted crude lipid contents increased from 32.9% to 45.7% and from 19.6% to 36.4% for N. oculata and D. salina, respectively, when compared with no bacterial addition. The preliminary results concluded that S. stellata was effective in the lysis of microalgal cells for effective lipid recovery.

Having secured a berth in the state tennis tournament, it seems anything is possible for the Lady Leafs' Madi Miller and Jane Thomas.
Having secured a berth in the state tennis tournament, it seems anything is possible for the Lady Leafs' Madi Miller and Jane Thomas.
The Geneseo doubles team of Miller and Thomas finished runner-up at the Galesburg 1A Sectional, on Oct. 14.
This will be the first time the Lady Leafs' tennis team will be competing at the state meet since the IHSA moved to the two-class system last season.
"I talked to them about how there are several teams out that we have faced that have gone to state," Geneseo Coach Kevin Reed said. "We are good enough to really do some damage at state, but we have to start with the first win and go from there."
Reed said the goal was to get a win at state, and if they accomplish that, earn a spot in Friday's field with a second win.
If Miller and Thomas reach the second day at the state tournament, they will be the first doubles team in school history to accomplish the feat.
In 2015, Geneseo's Tarah Fisher and Grace Madigan became first doubles team to reach the sectional finals, and they earned the first doubles win at state in school history.
Miller and Thomas became the second doubles team to reach the sectional finals earning them their first state trip.
Geneseo's Miller and Thomas had both fallen just short of state last season, but with state on the line, the duo cruised to a 6-0, 6-1 victory to punch their tickets to state.
In the semifinal match, Geneseo was in command leading 4-1 until they got a little too comfortable against the duo from Peoria Notre Dame and fell 4-6 in the opening set.
After dominating the second set 6-0, Geneseo was in a familiar situation leading 4-1 when they hit a bump in the road and PND closed the gap to 4-2.
"Jane Thomas said to Madi, 'This is not going to happen to us again,'" Reed said.
The Lady Leafs closed out the match 6-2 to advance to the championship.
Alleman's Lauren Hird and Noely Baumann won the final 6-1, 6-1.
In singles, Geneseo's Bryann Brophy fell in a three-set heartbreaker 6-2,6-7, 6-3.
Miller and Thomas will play against Kylie Jozwik and Melissa Variny from Lake Villa in the opening round of the tournament on Thursday, Oct. 19, at Schaumburg High School.
Alleman's Hird and Baumann are seeded among the top five in the state in Class 1A.

JAM meets during the Sunday morning service and is our Sunday School for aged 5 - 10 years and meets alternate Sunday's to SMYLE. We start off in church at 9.45am and then move down to the Parish Hall before coming back into church for the end of the service and to share what we've learnt and explored.
The sessions are very well planned by our bank of dedicated leaders who have lots of energy and enthusiasm. They are all CRB checked and committed to the safety and enjoyment of the children. The children learn about Jesus, through stories, drama, songs, craft, games and have lots of fun.
All the things that the children learn each session are fed back to the congregation at the end of the morning service so that the parents, and the whole congregation, know what they have been doing.
The leaders work hard to give our children a time to remember, especially at Christmas when we have a party, at Easter with a special Good Friday activities day and during the summer we have an outing which usually includes a picnic. JAM is a core part of St Mary's Church, and it continues to grow and deepen. Why not come along to be part of it?

How to pick up women
This is a step by step guide that will help you, hook up with hot girls. Sound a bit hard to accomplish? I know, but have a bit of faith in yourself..being with a girl is not as hard as you may now think!Dating isn't all that complicated, it's mostly a manner of practice, going out there and trying. Practice makes perfect.
The structure of this guide:
- The Fundamentals – what you need to know before you go on
- Going out – where to go, who to go with
- Scoping – learn to see what's really going on around you
- Meeting women – how to approach women, what to talk about, how to talk, when to talk
- Closing – finishing the conversation and getting her phone number or e-mail
- Dating – where to go, what to do, what not to do, how to get laid
- Relationships – how to start one, how to keep one.
The Fundamentals
It is vital that you have the fundamentals straightened out before venturing into the world of hot women. Without them, the effectiveness of your seduction techniques is massively reduced. So what are the fundamentals? They lie in your attitude and your appearance.
Step One: ATTITUDE
Attitude isn't necessarily about how you act and how you behave. It's more about how you think, and how you understand.
First of all, you must *truly realize* that you won't be able to get any girls (the kind that you don't pay for at least) by staying home, in front of your computer. This may sound upsetting to some of you, because it may be your favorite place in the world to be. But it's true. Don't hate me for it, it's just the way it is. Okay, bottom line, you will need to go out. Many men learn all the science behind effortless seduction, but never make the effort to go out there and actually try it.
Another thing that you need to realize is that since you're pretty new to this, or maybe you haven't done it before – at all – it's going to be challenging. But you like challenges, don't you? Maybe you don't, but you can't GIVE UP after your first failure. Because failure it will probably be. There's an old saying.."If at first you don't succeed, failure may be your style". Just kidding. Realize that getting a girl is not impossible. If you act like you don't stand a chance, I am sorry to tell you, you probably don't stand a chance. Think positive!
Step two: APPEARANCE
If you want to appear attractive to women, you must control the way you look, smell and sound. It doesn't matter if you're too fat, too thin or too damn ugly. This DOES NOT matter as much as what you wear – your clothes, your shoes, the cologne you use and so on. The key is controlling the way you look, make the choices that benefit you most. By doing so you will earn respect from those around you. And with respect comes social value, which is very attractive.
OK. So, what SHOULD you wear? Well, girls like to look to popular trends and contemporary public preferences much more than most men. So give them something to notice and find attractive in the clothes you wear. Look through some magazines to find out what's considered fashionable and trendy, and find something similar. Go for a balance of smart/casual gear with clean lines and only one bright color per outfit.
Shoes: many women often dismiss guys because of their shoes. What you need is a pair of clean shoes that match your outfit. They don't need to be expensive, and it doesn't matter what firm they're made by. By being careful about the shoes you wear, you eliminate the possibility that a girl will dismiss you based on your shoes.
Also you must take care of your hair. You don't need an expensive haircut, but try to keep it clean and simple and shave in whatever way it makes your face look best.
The way you smell: you should only use a little bit of cologne, on your neck, to surprise her nicely when you get closer. Don't overuse it because you don't want to smell like a cheap hooker.
This is the end of part one. In the next part of the guide, I'll tell you about going out . Where to go to find girls, who to go with, and what to do there.

ANAFE in partnership with the Finish supported FoodAfrica programme implemented by various CGIAR Center including ICRAF, plans to conduct a training workshop for educators and researchers on "Effective communication with users of knowledge" from 13th to 16th October 2015 in Nairobi, Kenya.
The training workshop is geared towards sustaining impact from interventions in agriculture. Educators and researchers need to be equipped with effective skills to effectively communicate with users of knowledge. There is a great wealth of indigenous knowledge that would be studied more closely and appreciated if there is effective communication between educators, researchers and users of knowledge. Institutions have initiated experiential learning programmes as a positive move, but communication with the communities and target beneficiaries of knowledge is vital for the success of these programmes.
Workshop Objectives The objectives of the training are to:
1. Share experiences and lessons on best practices in communicating research outputs;
2. Equip educators and researchers with skills for effective communication with users of knowledge;
3. Provide participants with a manual on effective communication with users of knowledge.
The applicants must:
• Be university lecturers, scientists or college tutors involved with community linked programmes;
• Have a good record of scientific publications in the areas of agriculture, agroforestry, forestry, environment or any other similar area;
• Have experience in communicating research outputs to end users for impact.
Applicants are invited to send an application letter illustrating their suitability, together with detailed curriculum vitae on or before Friday 28th August, 2015. All correspondence should be addressed to the ANAFE Secretariat: firstname.lastname@example.com, copied to the ANAFE Communications Officer, Mr. Alfred Ochola at a.ochola@ cgiar.org. Successful candidates will be notified by 11th September 2015.

The second-generation Renault Twingo had a souped-up Renaultsport edition, so it's no surprise that the facelifted Twingo, which made its debut in Frankfurt last year, is to get a similar job.
Called the Twingo R.S., the car retains the same 133 hp as before from a normally-aspirated 1.6 16V R.S. engine, with 160 Nm of torque on call. It'll come as standard with a Sport chassis, but there's an optional Cup chassis, which lowers the ride height by 4 mm. Other kit includes large 280 mm-diameter front and 240 mm-diameter rear brake discs, with the R.S. Monitor on-board telemetry system available as an option.
Exterior design cues include a dynamic grille design with four lights and a front bumper incorporating an F1-style blade – this detail, which now runs across the Renault Sport range, recalls Renault's success in F1. At the back, there's a tailgate-mounted lip spoiler, a special bumper incorporating a diffuser and aerodynamic extensions on the rear wheel arches.
A Design Pack is also available, and this one includes grey/dark gunmetal grey door mirror housings, F1 blade and R.S. lip spoiler, plus chrome details for the fog light surrounds. The hallmark Sirius Yellow finish will be available as an option from the end of May, and the car can also be specified with new 16-inch 'Emotion' alloy wheels, complete with 'R.S.'-badged centre caps.
Inside, there's the trademark Renault Sport yellow stitching on the steering wheel, seats and dashboard cowl, while the dashboard, radio console, rev-counter housing and lateral air vents all come with gloss black inserts. For further contrast, the top of the steering wheel, seat backs and cushions, rev-counter surround and manual climate control controls are picked out in white.
The Twingo R.S. goes on sale from the middle of next month in Europe, and will be marketed in 20 countries. There's also a Gordini R.S. version to pick from, if the R.S. sounds a bit too flashy.

1/9/2006 Ok, I just had the shock of my life!!! I haven't really had time to finish NJO, or start the new
books, but I just found out about Jaina (highlight to read) breaking
up with Jag, and her hooking up with Zekk! So I'm chaning the poll below, with geat sadness. And I liked how the series was going.
*sigh* Oh well, C'est La Viv!

1/8/2006 Happy New Year All!!!! As a special Christmas/New Years gift, I'm sharing with you my Cosplay pics
I made of me as Jaina Solo. For you who don't know what Cosplay means (because so often it is used as a term ascribed
to the manga/anime universe), it's just simply getting into costume as your favourite characters and playing dress up!!!
Often Cosplay takes place at special conventions and gatherings, but I like to have fun at home with it. I've also put
up a page for pictures of my Cosplaying. If you Cosplay as Jaina, Jacen, Anakin, or any other NJO/PostNJO character,
send me your pictures and I'll post 'em!!!
In other news, I've deleted some old/outdated stuff, which you may or may not notice, and I moved the navagation bar
about a bit, so that things are a little more organized.
Sadder news too, my file space is rapidly filling up, so I may have to do away with some things if we want this site
to keep up to date. So unless someone is kind enough to want to donate money to help a poor college student upgrade
the account, I may not be able to put much more up in way of pictures. I also am praying for a way to actually become
a .com site, being as we are called JainaSolo.com, and we are NOT!!! This has bothered me for quite sometime now, So
I'm looking for a way to do this. If you know of any, or you want to support me, that would be most appreciated.
In the mean time, just pray for the future of the site!

12/31/2005 Hey I'm on MySpace now, check it out! And everyone, have an awesome New Years!!!!
~~~~~~~~~]<<<< Jaina
12/29/2005 Home again, home again!!!! Updating the site with some stuff from college. Enjoy my link
to my page about my Phantom of the Opera Experiance. I hope you all are well, and had the best Christmas ever!!! I had a good one, though I miss my boy :(
I'll try my best to get some new stuff for the site and update as much as possible! Ok, I just got this link from my
boyfriend, it's a Jedi Training Game! Try it, it's fun, though, I'm not very good at it yet. God Bless! ~~~~~~~~~]<<<<
8/30/2005 Today I recived an e-mail from my guesbook asking me to stand up for my faith in Christ, and sendinf
me verses saying that I am not walking in the light of God in my relationships. So here I stand. Many of
you who come visit my site may be truned away by my saying this, but I don't care, because my Lord wants me to stand strong
for Him. I was saved by the grace and mercy of God when I was 13 at summer camp, and have been raised in a conservative
Christian home. I attend a private Christian College. I have tried to date only Christian young men, unfortunartely
for me, every single one of them have been false in their faith. I am so torn up by this. My current boyfriend
loves my with a pure Christian love, does devotions with me every night, and prays with and for me. Yes, I admit I have
made mistakes in my life, but I am SO thankful my Lord Jesus saved me from my sin by his death on the Cross. Whomever
that was who found my site and wrote to me in my Guest book, I ask you to be bold and to stand and tell me how you can accuse
someone you don't know of misrepresenting my faith. You don't know what hardships God has brought me through, to be
going out with a man who tells you everything you want to hear, who tells you that you are the only one for him, tell you
he loves you, then spits on you and leave you for dead. Please, if you were so intreseted in my faith, could you not
have asked if I were a Christian flat out, asking why I may have strayed, instead of just accusing me? To everyone esle,
I hope my testimony is of value to you, for I consider any who come here to this site a friend. I'm sorry if I sound
upset, but I am a bit. I hate being accused falsely. I went though it through out highschool, and I'm not about
to back down now. You all are special people, and I just want to do my best to put a smile on your faces each time you
come here. God bless.

Look, Im just gonna put it out there. I dont know why "they" call it PRE menstrual syndrome/tension/strain/whatever, when it can last anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks of the month, which includes most of the time I am menstruating.
For two weeks out of every month (that's basically HALF MY LIFE, PEOPLE!) I am an anxious, blubbery, angry, spotty whale who is convinced noone will ever love her, and whose career will soon be in the toilet once her employer realises that the swollen eyed whale is actually shit at her job and completely incompetent.
…and while you're at it- throw some insomnia into the mix.
Oh yeah, its not enough that the hormones make me stark raving mad, but it also seems to deprive me of the ability to go to sleep and block out this horrible world for a few hours reprieve, which only serves to make me more tired, more emotional and even less capable of falling to sleep.
All whilst my iron rich life blood flows from my loins leaving me on the anaemic side of the preferred blood iron level half the time as well.
Jeezzus- did I really just write "loins"?? FFS
So you can imagine what kind of state I was in yesterday when at exactly 1:03pm right when I was in the middle of preparing a report for the board, which our director usually does but I was doing because his wife was at that moment in labour, I received a message from Tall Irish – the guy I had been dating for a month or so and who I was really into and thought he felt the same. Well, apparently not- as he had decided to cancel our date for Friday because he just wasnt feeling "the thing".
…and well, don't we all just love to be informed of these things when we are AT WORK.
When I first saw the message, I just had to block it out- I was in the middle of something and I was stressed and I couldn't waste another moment thinking about anything but my deadline.
However, slowly but surely, as the afternoon creeped on, the emotions creeped UP, and before too long I was mapping out pie charts like a pro, with streaks of tears rolling down my face.
At my desk.
In an open-plan office.
I finished my report (along with my first box of tissues) and skulked home where I soon after found myself showered, lying in bed, staring at the ceiling, ramrod straight with the covers pulled up to my chin, unable to cry, unable to sleep and with a searing ball of frustration and anger churning in my gut.
I tried logic. Logically we had only been on a handful of dates. Logically, I liked him and I could have seen it going somewhere but I mean, right now, I barely knew the guy. Logically this really shouldn't be upsetting me this much.
But that's the thing isn't it? Logic is irrelevant when you have a potent mixture of hormones flying around in your brain at warp speed.
Don't tell me to be logical. I'm not an idiot. I am a perfectly rational, irrational person, and I know what's logical and what's not.
What YOU cant possibly understand is, what I'm going through right now! And I'm telling you- logic has nothing to do with it!!!
And so it was that I tossed and turned and cried until 4am when I finally drifted off to sleep, only to be hurled back into wakefulness by the 4:40am alarm that I forgot to reset (MOTHER*beeeeeeep*!!!!)
Consequently, with an air of determination at 4:55am I sent a text message to my trainer and booked a second PT session today. Two workouts in one day is surely guaranteed to send me into blissful oblivion come 8:30pm tonight?
Let's hope so, or the otherwise lovely colleague with the inexplicable need to whistle and click his pen incessantly ALL DAY LONG is far more likely than me, to be going home in tears tomorrow.

Stowe, Vermont
Kyle and I drove from Fort Collins, Colorado to Stowe, Vermont last October. We came to Stowe with no jobs, no place to live and no people we knew. I was hoping to get a ski instructor position. Our only other backup was to move to Ludlow, Vermont where Okemo Ski Resort is located. Some may ask why we would come to Vermont to go skiing. Well, I have lived my life in Colorado and the West and Kyle and I wanted to explore the East and see what it was all about. Yes, I knew the skiing wouldn't be better and knew that it was mainly ice skiing. But, I didn't care. For me it was about the new adventure and the new places we would get to see. The drive was beautiful since it was fall and the leaves had changed color. Driving through Pennsylvania, New York and Vermont was gorgeous! The day we arrived to Stowe, it was raining and we had to camp because we didn't want to pay for a hotel room. Those first couple of nights were cold and wet. Thankfully I got a job as a full-time ski instructor and we were able to find a place to live.
•Stowe has a population of 4,339 at the 2000 census.
•Tourism is a significant industry.
•Stowe lies in a broad, fertile valley between Mount Mansfield and other peaks of the Green Mountains to the west and the "Hogback" mountains to the east.

Buy You A Drink by T-Pain (Parody Lyrics)
Buy You Some Food
I made this lyrics based on the song Buy You A Drink by T-Pain. It was when I was in the middle school when I decided to write this parody. I think it is very hilarious. Please let me know if you like it. This would be my first time sharing.
Baby Girl, What's your mood
Let me talk to you
Let me buy you some food
I'm T-Pain, you know me
Convic music, you need to role with me
I know the restaurant close at 10
What kind of food can I give to you then
Back to the house
Show you the fridge
So I can get you some sausage
I'mo buy you some food (ooo weeee)
I'mo bring some food with me
Cause you're very skinny
I know why you look like that
You make a model look fat
I look at you like OMG, OMG, OMG....
Talk to me, I talk food
Lets talk burger, ohhh dude
big giant steak
with extra salt
shawty eating fast
It aint my fault
Let's get gone (chew it up)
Just like that that's what I'm talking bout
We gon get full
you gon see
around the table
you should eat like me
Meet me at the buffet
Buffet of China
You gonna eat a lot of food
You gonna eat for me Shauna
I'm checking your belly language
I hate the conversation
And the more I hear the growl
I get a scary sensation
Ill make you fit in a 42
10 rounds is worth a shot, not for me it's just for you
Now we're both on the same page
I see you're engage
All you need is bout 2 hours, why don't none of this seem strange.

Perhaps more than any other work by this American who has lived for many years in Brussels, Belgium, "Sweet Simplicity" is a very personal, revealing book. We learn of Yaffe's early interest in mathematics; his majoring in science and math at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA); his love of writing honed by experience in print journalism at UCLA and Los Angeles; his two years as a Peace Corps worker in Tanzania; his love of dogs; and his interest in language that led him to be proficient in several besides his native English. Yaffe relates his experiences in creating a universal language that avoids the spelling pitfalls of English and French and would be a potential universal language. Of course, this has been done with Esperanto, which has the exotic air of Wes Anderson's 2014 film "The Grand Budapest Hotel" but it was something I enjoyed. The spelling of both English and French is so difficult that it makes both wonderful languages so much more difficult to learn.
I read the book, provided to me in the form of a digital review copy, in one sitting at my computer and was particularly pleased by his praise of journalistic writing. This month marks my 49th year in journalism, beginning in Hammond, IN where I answered an ad for a reporter trainee in The Hammond Times. It was the first of five newspapers I've worked for -- including almost 10 years at The Milwaukee Sentinel and almost 15 at the Los Angeles Times. It may be self-serving, but I've known many journalists on all five newspapers and their work inspired me to do my best with my own writing.
Enough about me; I'll let Yaffe describe his new book in his own well chosen words:
Have you ever gone to a restaurant and when asked about it later, you said "The food was simple but good"? Or gone to an art gallery and said "The sculptures were simple but memorable"?" Or read a book and said "The plot was simple but entertaining"?
"You probably don't realize it, but every time you use this turn of phrase, you are betraying a prejudice, i.e. that simple and good are almost contradictory terms. If it is simple, it is unlikely to be good; if it is good, it is unlikely to be simple;" says Philip A. Yaffe. "The fact is, simple things are often the best. What you should really be saying is that it was simple and good. Or perhaps more to the point, It was simple, which is why it was good."
This is the theme of Yaffe's new book "Sweet Simplicity: An Exploration of the Simple and the Complex." It is largely a collection of 28 of his essays over several years; the value of simplicity is the leitmotiv running through them all.
"I hadn't planned it that way, but I was recently asked how I get ideas for my expository (non-fiction) books. I said I really couldn't answer because I really didn't know. They just came. But then I suddenly realized that whether on topics of science, political philosophy, language learning, etc., there was a common thread running through them: a search for simplicity," he recounts.
The book is divided into five major chapters:
Essence of Simplicity
Simplicity in Writing
Simplicity in Speaking
Simplicity in Science and Logical Thinking
Simplicity in Daily Life
These principal chapters are augmented by an eight-part appendix covering topics such as simple techniques for writing and speaking clearly and concisely, the simple concepts that underlie basic science, and simple rules of logical thinking vs. illogical thinking.
"You may be puzzled by the claim that logical thinking is simpler than illogical thinking;" Yaffe says. "This is because illogical thinking is not thinking at all. It is a perfect example of confusing simplicity with simplistic. Because Illogical thinking so often leads to false ideas and conclusions (occasionally you can get lucky), it is largely a waste of time. On the other hand, logical thinking almost always leads to correct ideas and conclusions, so it is never a waste of time."
Another key appendix is "The United States Constitution: Simplified and Updated for the 21st Century."
"If the United States Constitution were written today, it would have pretty much the same content as the original but would look different, be organized differently, and would be considerably easier to understand," Yaffe says.
The simplified and updated Constitution excludes all text deleted by amendments from the original Constitution and all text rendered invalid by legislation, historical events, or other factors. The list of amendments, of which there are 27 in the original Constitution, has been entirely integrated into the main text.
For easier understanding, the simplified and updated Constitution has also been somewhat reorganized.
"There is a misconception that the Bill of Rights, the collective name of the first 10 amendments to the Constitution, spells out all the rights and freedoms of the people. However, other rights and freedoms are also in the Constitution, either in the original body or in later amendments. Thus, there is a new section called 'The Rights and Freedoms of the People.' This new section brings together all the rights and freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution into a single place, for better understanding and for easy reference," he concludes
* * *
Philip A. Yaffe was born in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1942 and grew up in Los Angeles, where he graduated from the University of California with a degree in mathematics and physics. In his senior year, he was also editor-in-chief of the Daily Bruin, UCLA's daily student newspaper.
He has more than 40 years of experience in journalism and international marketing
communication. At various points in his career, he has been a teacher of journalism, a
reporter/feature writer with The Wall Street Journal, an account executive with a major
international press relations agency, European marketing communication director with two
major international companies, and a founding partner of a specialized marketing
communication agency in Brussels, Belgium, where he has lived since 1974.

OK, so it's a little irreverent to say God is a comedian, but look at the scripture from Genesis to, well not so much in Revelation, and you see God's sense of humour coming through.
There's so much I can only touch on a few scriptural examples, but let's start in Genesis. God makes a Covenant agreement with a man named Abram who has no children and says his children will inherit the land of Canaan. Then He promises Abram a child born of the Covenant through his wife, Sarai. Abram meets God again at the age of 99 with no children and God tells him his name will now be Abraham - meaning Father of a multitude - but still no child. God tells Abraham that Sarai is now Sarah - and she's 90. Then the punchline "Then God said to Abraham, "As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name. And I will bless her and also give you a son by her; then I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples shall be from her." Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, "Shall a child be born to a man who is one hundred years old? And shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?"" (Genesis 17:15-17)
God's sense of humour makes a mockery of our knowledge. Isaac is born, and named "Laughter".
Then in Numbers 22 there's Balaam. Balaam had a donkey who spoke. It's ridiculous to think about. More than that, Balaam enters into a debate with the donkey! Imagine you go downstairs first thing on a winter morning to let your dog out and the dog looks up and says "In this weather? You're kidding!" Now we're not talking about a cartoon donkey voiced by Eddie Murphy or the family pet. This is a real donkey that this man has been riding for years. This man, Balaam, is a prophet himself, and God opens the donkey's mouth to prophesy to the prophet!
If we look forward to 1 Chronicles 4:9-10 we see Jabez. His mother named him, and the name means sorrow-maker. Jabez cries out to God and despite his name, God answers his request. All we know of the man is his name, his petition, and God's sense of humour dancing over his faith!
The Gospels are full of the humour of God. Jesus Himself is a walking joke - until the power flows. From the worldly perspective, Jesus is the illegitimate child of a carpenter. Not a king, descended from David's line, definitely, but so far removed from Israel's throne that it's almost impossible to count how many other heirs would need to die before he got that crown.
But Jesus's humour was a message with meaning that the "learned" people couldn't understand. They were so far removed from Godliness that when God Himself walked with them they couldn't recognise Him.
His birth was announced by shepherds, and news reached Herod because three men stopped to ask for directions. Then there's His miracles. Cana, just after He's baptized by John and He's at a wedding. The host runs out of wine, and Jesus's mother asks Him to help. So He does - Each amphora used to hold water was probably between 4 and 5 feet tall, and probably held gallons of liquid. Imagine the twinkle in His eye as He tells them to fill the jars to the brim, then take the contents to the taster. I can see the "Wait for it" look in His eyes as the bemused servers take the contents across and the purest red wine of the highest quality pours into the cup and the startled taster declares it to be the best wine of the night.
Peter says he needs cash to pay the Temple Tax. Jesus tells him to go fish - literally - and there in the fish's mouth is enough for both of their taxes!
The disciples are drowning on a sinking ship, Jesus casually strolls over to them on top of the sea and as if that's not enough, Peter calls to Him and His response "Come!" and Peter walks on top of the waves as well.
God's Truth makes mockery of Man's facts. The crowning punchline of the Gospel is the Resurrection itself. The Pharisees crucified Him and walked away, Jesus got up again with the sun three days later. Peter had denied Him three times, and after the resurrection he goes back to the life he knows - fishing. He's dragging the nets all night with nothing - just like 3 years before. Then Jesus stands there on the shore and calls out - like before - let down the nets again. And the nets are filled with a mammoth catch. They go to the shore and Jesus is already cooking fish for them. There must have been a twinkle in His eye as He sat with the disciples just like old times. They must have enjoyed the joke together as they went out into the World to tell everyone about Jesus.
The Truth of God makes men's thinking sheer folly. His wisdom is so far removed from ours that we are totally baffled by His ways. The only logical thing to do sometimes when a miracle hits your life is laugh. If we try to understand it we'll just end up with a headache, so just enjoy the ride.
We'll have Eternity to ponder the humour of God together!

WASHINGTON — Disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff spent two hours dispensing advice in one of Washington's temples of good government Monday, telling soldiers in the cause of cleaning up corruption they have a lot of work ahead of them.
"I was deeply involved in a system of bribery" and nothing is going to be done to stop it unless the political forces of both the right and the left join together to change it, Abramoff told an audience at the offices of Public Citizen.
Ralph Nader founded Public Citizen four decades ago and a former president of the organization, Joan Claybrook, was on hand for Abramoff's visit.
"Abramoff is uniquely situated to offer an insider's view on the systemic problems in the influence industry," said Public Citizen's current president, Robert Weissman. "Learning about his illegal activities is illuminating. Even more important are the legal activities that remain the norm as practiced by countless super-lobbyists every day."
His name now synonymous with corruption in the nation's capital, Abramoff has been on a speaking tour since the publication of his book, "''Capitol Punishment: The Hard Truth About Washington Corruption from America's Most Notorious Lobbyist"
Abramoff spent 3 1/2 years in a federal penitentiary paying for bribery of public officials and other crimes before his release last year. The influence-peddling schemes he masterminded resulted in convictions of 20 people.
Federal lobbying laws were tightened up following the Abramoff scandal, but he says the improvements aren't nearly enough.
Abramoff's drastic prescription for setting things straight: no campaign donations from lobbyists or anyone receiving federal contracts, term limits and a life-time lobbying ban on lawmakers and congressional staff.
Another much-needed change: Congress should widen the definition of lobbyist to include the kind of work that former House Speaker Newt Gingrich did for Freddie Mac, said Abramoff.
"Clearly people who are involved in strategic planning for lobbying campaigns, public affairs campaigns, any activity designed to impact legislation" should register as lobbyists, said Abramoff.
Abramoff was sentenced in 2006 for a fraudulent Florida casino deal and in 2008 for conspiring to defraud the U.S., corrupting public officials and defrauding his clients. Among the defrauded clients were Indian tribes operating casinos. Abramoff is the subject of a documentary film, "Casino Jack." A fictionalized version, "Casino Jack and the United States of Money," stars Kevin Spacey.

Exploring Deuteronomy Week 12: Celebrate!
We went back to Deuteronomy on Sunday, and we'll be there for a few more weeks. If you'd like to listen to Pastor Dan's sermon "Celebration," you can do that right here!
Pastor Dan talked about the biblical holidays this week. So, this won't be a long blog post because I've been blogging about the holidays all year! You can check them all out right here. These holidays are so cool! We have a God who invites us to celebrate with Him!
It was so great to hear Pastor Dan read the words of Psalm 103 over us on Sunday. All of us have received such mercy and grace from God, and it was a great reminder of what He has done for us. I thought I'd just repost the Psalm here — read it again and let its truths wash over you.
Have a great week, CrossRoads family!
1 Praise the Lord, my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
2 Praise the Lord, my soul,
and forget not all his benefits—
3 who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,
5 who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
6 The Lord works righteousness
and justice for all the oppressed.
7 He made known his ways to Moses,
his deeds to the people of Israel:
8 The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in love.
9 He will not always accuse,
nor will he harbor his anger forever;
10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve
or repay us according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his love for those who fear him;
12 as far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
13 As a father has compassion on his children,
so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;
14 for he knows how we are formed,
he remembers that we are dust.
15 The life of mortals is like grass,
they flourish like a flower of the field;
16 the wind blows over it and it is gone,
and its place remembers it no more.
17 But from everlasting to everlasting
the Lord's love is with those who fear him,
and his righteousness with their children's children—
18 with those who keep his covenant
and remember to obey his precepts.
19 The Lord has established his throne in heaven,
and his kingdom rules over all.
20 Praise the Lord, you his angels,
you mighty ones who do his bidding,
who obey his word.
21 Praise the Lord, all his heavenly hosts,
you his servants who do his will.
22 Praise the Lord, all his works
everywhere in his dominion.
Praise the Lord, my soul.

I wish I could video tape it, but lately when we put Madisyn to bed, she's decided that she's going to sing her prayer (in a really high voice - which is already high :) ). When she's done she says, "That's the new one."
Rob and I were discussing something the other day (actually that I needed to shower since I smelled) and Madisyn puts her hands over her eyes and forehead and says, "Oh, my word!"
Rob said, "What did you say?!"
She repeats the hand motion and says, "Oh, my word!"
Rob and I stare at each other and start to chuckle, where did she get this?
THEN she starts shaking her head and follows-up with, "I can't believe it!"

There was an article published in the Daily Mail today that struck a chord. It was, in fact, entirely out of character for the DM, it was sweet, uplifting and genuinely moving. It was the story of Zoë Folbigg, a woman who fell in love on her daily commute with 'Train Man' and, over a year later, went out with him, married him and lived happily ever after. Read the article here.
It struck a chord on a few levels with me, firstly because it convinced me that those sort of love-at-first-sight moments do genuinely still happen and secondly because her nervous, faltering attempts at attracting his attention are exactly how I would have gone about the situation. We are fed love stories on a daily basis, from the great loves in novels to the 'it almost never happened' romances in films. From fairy tales to mythology, from adverts to toys and even in nature, we are led to believe that out there, somewhere, is our Mr Darcy, our Prince Eric, our Ken or our lobster.
Even though the concept of 'the one' is open to ridicule and might even be an artificially created concept born from a saccharine and unattainable, idealistic notion of love, I am still a hopeless romantic and from my first taste of Disney and Hans Christian Anderson, I have been looking for someone indescribably but irrefutably 'special.' I waited to lose my virginity until I was in love and have really only had one long-term relationship that ended horribly – he floated the idea that we should get engaged, on a plane, during the worst turbulence I have ever experienced. I felt that sinking feeling literally, metaphorically and physically and we broke up pretty much as soon as we got home.
I have a university friend who was on a constant search for her 'one.' She was incorrigible and decided that everyone she met or went out with was 'the one,' from 'piggy Mike' who showed up at our house hammered and professing his love at 2am to 'library boy,' whom she relentlessly pursued during revision season before our final year exams.
I used to laugh, never taking the conviction of her 'ones' entirely seriously, but now, looking back, I'm both envious and incredibly impressed that she had the balls to do what she did, over and over until she found her real 'one.' She's getting married next June to him.
After licking my post-breakup wounds for well over a year and moving in with a French girl who has an achingly cool and relaxed attitude to sex – one that was an anathema to the 'sex is for love and marriage and promiscuity is only for the unladylike' version I was raised on – I decided I should experience that most transient and sexually defining occurrence: the one night stand, especially as it has featured on my 30 before 30 list of 'things to do' since I was 16.
I've never been a one night stander. I attract wistful men who want to rescue me, never ravage me and, as I'm nearing the end of my twenties, I'm becoming convinced that I have about as much sex appeal as Anne Hathaway.
My idea of a one night stand is probably the same as most women: a David Gandy who smoulders across the bar and an instant sexual frisson takes hold, the electricity in the pit of your stomach that snakes over your skin and, following a wild night of passion, he leaves. In short, this:
Then it happened, in a rather grotty bar I fell into met a rugby player of a man with shoulders like Thor and a lilting Irish brogue. Did I swoon when I saw him? Did I feel butterflies? Nope, but five dirty martinis and a latterly much regretted shot of absinthe later I bowed to my own peer pressure and dragged him home for a night of carnal passion.
When you're a few drinks down, there's a moment when caution flies to the wind. Mine was when I thought I was Dita Von Teese incarnate, seductively shedding clothing and ignoring the deeply unsexy condom fumbles, the clumsy first kisses and embarrassingly loud finale – his, not mine.
Job done, box ticked, list crossed. I could now retreat back into my Amelie-induced fantasies of train station rendezvous. That was until three days later when I got home from work to find a letter addressed to: 'The beautiful blonde occupant.'
There it was, that moment filled with possibility and potential that I'd been yearning for. That crazy, romantic, When Harry Met Sally, The Notebook moment, which could be the start of the love of my life. And how did I feel? Panicked, dizzy and like my stomach had taken up permanent residence in my boots. I still can't decide if it was the absinthe-induced memories that came lurching back to me, his poor punctuation or the fact that he memorised my address but either way, that letter went into the bin. Turns out romcoms aren't for everyone. But it hasn't put me off hoping that at some point I will see or meet someone who sends my brain into chaos, who turns my bones to liquid, who will, instead of sending the contents of my stomach on an upward projectile, fill me with absolute certainty that yes, this is, without doubt, my 'one.'

Simple Spring or Summer Entertaining Menu
It's no secret how much I love entertaining and sharing time with friends over a great meal. It's even better when the menu comes together perfectly, is easy to prepare, and is thoroughly enjoyed by all. This was the case last weekend. So much so I just HAD to share.
So, if you're looking for a simple, tasty, spring or summer entertaining menu I've got it my friends.
I almost always start off with charcuterie because it's easy to prepare…everyone can nibble, and the opportunities for presentation are endless.
I love serving soup. Mostly because I love making and eating soup. This soup has been in heavy rotation since I first made it a few months ago. The recipe is so simple and SOOO good for you. If you are looking for a new cookbook to add to your collection, Yum & Yummer is definitely one I would recommend. I've made a bunch of recipes from this book and have loved every one.
Another huge WIN in the recipe department >>> this peanut sauce from Once Upon a Chef, along with her sriracha lime marinade >> served on a big salad (ingredients I used below). So tasty, so full of flavour. I marinated both shrimp and chicken thighs (so much tastier than the breasts) and loved the combo in the salad.
Salad ingredients:
- rice vermicelli noodles (they are hiding at the bottom under everything)
- thinly sliced red cabbage
- thinly sliced red pepper
- cucumber (seeds removed)
- green onions
- carrots (pre-cut julienne style)
- radishes
- a bag of pre-cut PC kale-slaw
If you give this a try, let me know:) It was SO tasty, I know you'll love it.

Now that summer is drawing to a close, it's a good time to start talking about herbs that help improve immune system functioning. There are quite a few herbs that have a tonifying effect on the body's immune system, such as Echinacea, Astragalus, Garlic and Ginseng.
There are also some mushrooms which have almost legendary status as immune system tonics. Today, I want to talk about Shiitake and Reishi mushrooms.
Shiitake mushrooms are widely available in supermarkets and health food stores, they are often available either fresh or dried. It is even possible to purchase Shiitake growing kits.
Shiitake mushrooms are delicious added to soups, stews, and sauces; pretty much anywhere you would use any other mushroom. The stems are very woody, so use only the caps.
Studies in Japan have shown that Shiitake mushrooms boost the immune system, as well as inhibit viral replication, two activities which make Shiitake a great addition to your diet. Japanese research has also led to a cancer treatment based on Shiitake mushrooms.
Reishi mushroom is another immune boosting powerhouse. At one time, these mushrooms were extremely rare, and prohibitively expensive, because they were only found growing in high, remote mountains. Relatively recently, it was discovered how to grow Reishi mushrooms, so you no longer need to be the Emperor to afford them.
Reishi mushrooms were thought to increase longevity and were highly prized as a result.
Modern research has shown them to be high in immune boosting phytochemicals, and to improve production of lymphocytes (lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell, and an important part of the body's defenses against infection). Reishi also seems to modulate immune response, (this means it can both strengthen a weakened immune response, and lessen an overactive immune response), and helps some allergy sufferers get relief from their symptoms. Reishi also seems to have some anti-cancer properties, and is a part of several commercially available preparations said to protect the immune system while patients are undergoing radiation or chemotherapy as part of a cancer treatment regimen. (If you are being treated for any medical condition, please check with your doctor before taking any herbal supplements.)
Reishi mushrooms don't seem as widely available as Shiitake mushrooms, although most local health food stores carry several varieties of prepared Reishi supplements, as powders, capsules and extracts, as well as an instant tea concentrate. It's a useful supplement anytime you feel your immune system needs a boost.

Life has been pretty busy lately. After the excitement of making the Graphic 45 Design Team, I had to get back to business as usual. Still trying to finish up an order of over 1000 paper flowers. Still 400 to go...I have till the end of this month to get them all done. Flowers are still flying out the door at Sobo Style and they are preparing for their big 10 year Anniversary May 7th and have placed another large order!! Looking forward to hopefully delivering them personally myself and attending the event too!
On April 2nd I set up shop at Bloody Prom!
I know this sounds weird, but really it was a lot of fun. Can't go wrong when you get to mix fancy clothes with a little blood and gore!! It was an event held to raise money for an Indy Film being produced here in the Dayton Area called Kiss Me Dark. Set up in an old stone church basement. There were Dj's in the ballroom, and about 10 vendors selling. Of course I had to get all bloodied up, and I had a truly amazing time. Here is a glimpse of me at my booth!
Thanks to everyone who came out to show their support! Always great meeting new and exciting people as well as fellow talented artists!!!
Onto the second order of business. I just found out that one of my flowers were published in Somerset Life 2011 Spring Magazine! My mom called me the other day b/c she saw the picture and wondered if it was really mine. Not knowing anything about it,. I wanted to see the picture to make sure. Instantly I set out to find the blog of my customer. Surely if she is getting published in Somerset she had a blog? Luckily it didn't take too long to find since her blog was named after her etsy name. And sure enough, there was my flower reflecting on the back. So neat to see something you have created, inspiring others to make amazing things!
And then getting them published too!
Stop by and check out more of Stephanie's wonderful designs here.
That's it for today! Off to knock some of the paper flowers off my list before this INCREDIBLE box of Graphic 45 supplies comes. Can't wait to get started playing!
Make sure to stop by Graphic 45 over the next few weeks see the introductions of all the New Design Team Members for 2011 and all their amazing designs submitted to Oregon during try outs.
My day in the spotlight is next Wednesday April 13th and I am super excited to share my designs with the world!
Stop back by here Wednesday for more details on my 3 designs, and leave a comment letting me know what you think! Always looking forward to hearing what you all have to say!
Tomorrow is Friday, Woohooo!
Hope everyone has a relaxing weekend filled with sunshine!
Thanks for stopping by!
