Acceptable Worship
Mankind, due to his creation in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:26, 27), is instinctively a creature of worship. The book of the Preacher reveals that God has set eternity into the heart of man (Ecclesiastes 3:11). Although the desire to worship is engrained within man, this does not mean that every expression of worship is acceptable to God. Through the long ages, man has often been guilty of worshipping created things instead of the Creator, but the wrath of God will be summarily administered upon all who refuse to submit themselves in honor and thanks to the Creator (Romans 1:18-32). The issue at hand is not a question of will we worship, but of what or whom and how will we worship?
The Hebrew Scriptures use the word sahah to describe the act of people coming before God to pay homage. W. E. Vine defines this word, "to worship, prostrate oneself, bow down" (1996, p. 295). Worship is a dominant theme of the Bible. True worship is characterized by a deep sense of religious awe and honor that is expressed though unselfish acts of devotion and service in compliance with God's holy decree. God made it clear that He alone is God, and that He should only be worshipped in accordance with His expressed commands (Deuteronomy 6:13-17); yet, in deviation of this order, the Old Testament is replete with examples of unauthorized worship (Genesis 4: 2ff; Leviticus 10:1, 2), idolatrous worship (Isaiah 44:15, 17), even vain worship (Isaiah 1:10-15).
Unacceptable Worship
Many through the ages have mistakenly assumed that worship is unregulated and man may substitute or improvise at his own discretion. This was the philosophy of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, king of Israel. Following the division of the nation, Jeroboam, initiated his own design for worship (I Kings 12). He authorized golden calves as replacements for Jehovah. He substituted the cities of Bethel and Dan in place of Jerusalem as the centers of worship. He appointed priests from all the various tribes in opposition to the Law of God which specified priests only from the tribe of Levi. He instituted a feast on the fifteenth day of the eighth month – likely to simulate the Feast of Tabernacles which God ordained on the fifteenth day of the seventh month (Leviticus 23:34).
All of these changes to the prescribed worship by Jeroboam were "devised in his own heart" (I Kings 12:33). The willful neglect and unabashed substitution of God ordained worship by this innovator resulted in his being condemned no less than twenty-one times in the Old Testament as the one causing Israel to sin. Lessons are definitely to be learned from incidents of antiquity such as this one (Romans 15:4; I Corinthians 10:6, 11), for many Jeroboams still exist in the world. Neither can we ever forget that Satan is the ever present tempter seeking a willing instrument which he may use to corrupt and/or render impotent the worship of those whom he cannot dissuade from assembling. We must ever be mindful that acceptable worship to God is the honest heart submissively bowing in adoration, faithfully paying homage through authorized acts of worship.
It was on account of vain or empty worship that Jeremiah was instructed, "Stand in the gate of the Lord's house and proclaim there this word, and say, 'Hear the word of the Lord, all you of Judah, who enter by these gates to worship the Lord!'" (Jeremiah 7:2). God detailed through the prophet that, although the people were coming to worship, without repentance and a proper reverential attitude toward God, their attempt at worship was vain (7:3-20). Pure worship is a sincere acknowledgement of the supremacy of the Creator, demonstrated through the reverent observance of the specific acts of service commanded by God. It was not acceptable worship for the people of Israel merely to gather at the proper place and at the proper time; God demanded a heartfelt expression of devotion to Him as the only true and living God, carefully observing those specified acts of service which constitute divine worship. The final book of the Old Testament relates God's disgust with impotent, vain, and unproductive worship. There we find God Himself expressing the desire that someone would shut and lock the gates to the temple to avoid the continuation of meaningless worship (Malachi 1:1ff).
True Worship
When Jesus was traveling from Judea to Galilee, He stopped at the ancient well of Jacob near the city of Sychar. Entering into a conversation with a Samaritan woman, the topic quickly turned to spiritual matters and the where and how of worship. The Samaritan woman had been taught all her life that nearby Mount Gerizim was the only place that God accepted worship. Her ancestors had worshipped there since the days of Nehemiah; a temple even being erected in which to worship. Upon believing Jesus to be a prophet, this sincere woman desired to know the truth pertaining to worship. She sought an answer from Him concerning the long controverted question regarding the authorized place of worship. Of course, the Samaritan claim was based solely on tradition. The Jews worshipped in Jerusalem according to the pattern ordained by God (Deuteronomy 12:5-11; I Kings 9:3; II Chronicles 3:1).
Jesus delicately answers the Samaritan woman by foretelling the end of a specific geographical location for worship, saying, "Woman, believe Me, an hour is coming when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall you worship the Father. You worship that which you do not know; we worship that which we know, for salvation is from the Jews. But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshippers. God is spirit, and those who worship must worship in spirit and truth" (John 4:21-24). Jesus dismisses any future claim pertaining to a single fixed location for worship, revealing the time had arrived for the fulfillment of Malachi 1:11 which depicted the worship of God as occurring in every place. However, this does not mean worship may be conducted absent divine oversight or regulation. In His answer, Jesus reiterates the "holy must" trinity of practices which had always represented the foundation of acceptable worship.
1. The proper object of worship is God, i.e., deity. In His confrontation with the devil, Jesus declared that only God is to be worshipped (Matthew 4:10). It remains a sad fact, even in the church today, that many still do not know the God of the Bible. Too many have dangerously aligned themselves with the perversion of Watchtower Witnesses, supposing that only the Father is God. When Jesus declared that only God is to be worshipped, He did not use the term "God" as a synonym for "Father," thus commanding that only the "Father" is to be worshipped; rather, He used this term as indicative of the entire Godhead. The Father is deity (Ephesians 1:3), the Son (Word) is deity (John 1:1; 10:30), and the Holy Spirit is deity as well (Acts 5:3, 4).
God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – is to be worshipped by all who desire to be true worshippers. The baptism commanded by Jesus involves being baptized "into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" (Matthew 28:19; ASV). The singular word for "name" is linked to a plurality of Persons; namely, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These three wear one holy name, and that is the name of God. The act of baptism is, itself, an obedient act of worship honoring equally the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. In fact, it is impossible to honor the Father without honoring the Son in the highest esteem held for the Father. Jesus clearly articulated, "For not even the Father judges anyone, but He has given all judgment to the Son, in order that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him" (John 5:22, 23).
The Psalmist issued a warning in the long ago to the kings and rulers who took counsel "against the Lord and against His Anointed" (2:2), advising them to "Worship the Lord with reverence, and rejoice with trembling. Do homage to the Son, lest He become angry, and you perish in the way, for His wrath may soon be kindled. How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!" (2:11, 12). This Psalm is Messianic, depicting the rebellion and hatred to come against Christ when He born into the world as the Son of God. Verses 11 and 12 illustrate the gravity of worship, evincing the necessity of conducting worship with due reverence or else potential disaster may occur (e.g., Nadab and Abihu or Ananias and Sapphira). Furthermore, do not fail to notice that the Son is specifically identified as the object of homage. The word "homage" captures the meaning of the Hebrew which signifies "to kiss," indicating a kiss of submission in association with a king or ruler. Jesus Christ, born of the virgin as the Son of God, is the Lord or King of Psalm 2:2 who is to be worshipped with all seriousness and solemnity (cf. Acts 4:23-31).
Jesus, as a member of the Godhead, is to be worshipped. The Bible is replete with examples of Jesus being worshipped as deity. The Father commands all the angels to worship the Son (Hebrews 1:6). Wise men came from the east to worship Him following His birth in the flesh of man (Matthew 2:2, 11). Jesus was openly worshipped no less than ten times during His days on earth (Matthew 8:2; 9:18; 14:33; 15:25; 28:9, 17; etc.). Thomas confessed Him as his "Lord and God" (John 20:2). Paul reiterated the need for steadfastness in this present age, "looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus; who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds" (Titus 2:13, 14).
At least twelve prayers recorded in the New Testament are addressed to Jesus Christ. When Steven was being stoned, the Bible says he was "calling upon God, and saying, 'Lord Jesus, receive my spirit'" (Acts 7:59). This is a prayer spoken specifically to Jesus as God, for if Steven had not perceived Jesus Christ as God, would he have ever committed his very soul into His hands? The apostle Paul addressed Christ in prayer multiple times, but in I Thessalonians 2:16, 17, he prays, "Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace, comfort and strengthen your hearts in every good work and word." This prayer is jointly addressed to both the Father and Son, yet Paul beseeches the name of Jesus first in the petition. The very last prayer recorded in the Bible also addresses Christ, John pleading, "Come, Lord Jesus" (Revelation 22:20).
Those in the church today who yelp and howl disagreeably whenever Jesus is called God would probably turn inside out to hear a prayer spoken to Jesus, much less His name being placed ahead of the Father in the petition, but the inspired writers and guides of the church did not hesitate to address all three Persons of the Godhead in prayer. It is pure ignorance of the God of the Bible that gives Satan the advantage in causing disruption and strife even in the church involving matters clearly discernable as doctrinal truths. Acceptable worship of God involves recognition of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as deity.
Since only God is to be worshipped, all others are excluded, including the following:
(1) We do not worship angels. When the apostle John attempted to worship an angel, he was vigorously instructed to cease and desist (Revelation 22:8, 9).
(2) We do not worship departed saints, notwithstanding the greatness they may have achieved in this life. When Peter determined to build altars in honor of Moses and Elijah, along with Jesus, he was quickly shown that these mere men were in no sense equivalent to God the Son (Matthew 17:4f). The Roman Catholic dogma which asserts it is acceptable to pray to Mary and other departed "saints" is clearly at variance with the teachings of the Bible.
(3) Similarly, we do not worship men involved in church leadership. When Peter arrived before Cornelius in Caesarea, "Cornelius met him, and fell at his feet and worshipped, but Peter raised him up, saying, 'Stand up; I too am a man'" (Acts 10:25, 26). When Paul and Barnabas were praised as gods, they rent their clothing, crying out, "Men, why are you doing these things? We are also men of the same nature as you, and preach the gospel to you in order that you should turn from these vain things to a living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that is in them" (Acts 14:15).
(4) We do not worship our family members or loved ones. Approaching worship, we must consider that any form of devotion that relegates God to a subordinate position is a form of idolatry. Jesus exclaimed, "He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and He who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me" (Matthew 19:37). Worship is not fellowshipping with friends and loved ones, but is an act of devotion which must be directed toward God as the sole object or recipient of our adoration.
2. True worship must be conducted in spirit. All who sincerely desire to worship God acceptably must do so with a tender and pure heart, glorifying God from the inward spirit of man which was created in God's image. "God is spirit" (NASB). On this point, Morris correctly observes,
We should omit the indefinite article, which some translations (e.g., KJV, Knox) place before "spirit." Greek has no such article, and we insert it or not in English as the sense requires. Here Jesus is not saying, "God is one spirit among many"; rather his meaning is "God's essential nature is spirit." The indefinite article is no more required than it is in the similar statements, "God is light" (I John 1:5) and "God is love" (I John 4:8 ) …Since he is essentially spirit it follows that the worship brought to him must be essentially of a spiritual kind (1995, p. 240).
Because God is spirit, man, consisting of a physical body united with a spirit formed within him by God (Zechariah 12:1), must worship not merely with the physical body present at a particular place and time, but rather, worship must come from the inner spirit of man, i.e., the entire intellect and presence of man's being focused upon the Creator. Thus the whole of man is involved in worship; a sincere disposition of heart and mind characterizing acceptable worship. As brother Webb recently noted:
There are some who will come to church and sit about an hour, and think that they are pleasing God. These people maintain that they are faithful Christians. God seeks our worship! He is worthy of our undivided, focused attention in praise and adoration of Him (2011, p. 3).
The Old Testament contains a statement remarkably similar to the announcement of Jesus in John 4:24. Joshua warned those of his day, "Now, therefore, fear the Lord and serve Him in sincerity and truth; and put away the gods which your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord" (Joshua 24:14). When Jesus spoke to the woman of Samaria, He did not declare to her some new theological doctrine of how to worship God; He simply foretold how true worship would no longer be confined to Jerusalem. The "holy must" trinity of John 4:24 had always been required to approach God. True worship is the honest and sincere expression of the inner person directed solely toward God, worshipping in careful compliance with only divinely authorized activities.
The devotional attitude of the Christian in understanding and personally participating in the divinely appointed acts of worship is underscored several times in the New Testament. For example, Paul stresses the importance of each individual worshipper discerning for himself the significance of the bread and fruit of the vine in commemorating the Lord's death. Inattentiveness of the worshipper may result in condemnation (I Corinthians 11:27-29). Likewise, prayer and singing must be attended by the mind of the worshipper "with the spirit" (I Corinthians 14:15). Those singing "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name" or "Worthy Art Thou" without thinking of the meaning of the words they sing are guilty of vain worship, exercising mere formality. Acceptable worship is directed toward God and issues from deep within the hidden spirit of man.
3. Acceptable worship consists only of authorized acts. Jesus commanded that true worship be offered in truth. Many have a difficult time assessing the meaning of the term "truth" in association with worship, primarily because the biblical definition of truth will not support the various innovations they deliberately introduce into the worship. What does it mean to worship in "truth"? Fortunately, we are not left to supposition in this matter, for Jesus later affirmed to the Father, "Thy word is truth" (John 17:17). God is only to be worshipped in accordance with His word. This fact is corroborated by other passages of scripture in the New Testament.
Paul avowed to the church at Rome, "For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of His Son" (Romans 1:9). The word "serve" is from the Greek "latreuo" which Vine says: "signifies (1) to worship, (2) to serve." This passage acknowledges the "holy must" trinity voiced by Jesus as pertaining to true worship: note 1) the object, "God"; 2) the disposition, "with my spirit"; 3) the form or standard, "in the Gospel." To worship God acceptably requires adhering to the authorized forms of worship found in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
In discussing worship activities - specifically singing – Paul explains how all things must be done "in the name of the Lord Jesus" (Colossians 3:17). This signifies that the authority of Christ must be the sole director of every activity for the Christian in worship. Man is not left to devise his own system of worship, and neither is he allowed "to exceed what is written" (I Corinthians 4:6) through innovations and self-gratifying activities by which he "goes too far and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ" (2 John 9). If true and acceptable worship is to be offered unto God, it absolutely must be only those activities as found authorized on the pages of the New Testament.
Let us, then, as many as desire to be true worshippers of God, worship with great passion and enthusiasm, giving no advantage to the evil one in the assembly of the body of Christ. May we be ever careful to remember the exhortation of the Hebrews' writer: "Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe; for our God is a consuming fire (Hebrews 12:28, 29).

Crediting Prior Experiential Learning.
Ranta, Richard R.
With the increase in mature, highly (although informally) educated students returning to or beginning high school or college, the need for a system of crediting prior experiential learning has also increased. Prior experiential learning refers to knowledge for which no course corresponding to a student's learning exists in a curriculum, but that learning would be a legitimate part of the curriculum. One system for crediting prior knowledge, portfolio assessment, has been successfully implemented in the communications college at Memphis State University (Tennessee). Portfolio assessment is the examination by faculty experts of a detailed and documented claim for credit. In this process, the student must first exhaust all other possible means for receiving credit. The student then prepares, with an advisor, a portfolio containing all pertinent information, which is then given to a faculty assessor. The assessor then determines whether: the work is college level, there is a knowledge of theory and skill, and the student can apply the knowledge. The decision is forwarded to the dean for approval. Programs such as this, which are becoming more widespread, will encourage many students to return to school. (HTH)

Hmm, a interesting period is history. I don't know if I should feel ashamed or not, but I have no idea who "Flashman" is. Maybe I should google the subject before I post this and look like an idiot. Don't wanna hit that post button just yet....
- jmnlman said...
He's the "hero" in a long running historical fiction series written by George MacDonald Fraser. The Character first appeared in Tom Brown's Schooldays by Thomas Hughes a victorian morality tale. Flashman was the villain eventually thrown out of the school for drunkenness. Fraser borrowed the character positing that he became a victorian hero but didn't deserve it being the same cowardly, womanizing scoundrel portrayed in the original but often through dumb luck and lies able to shape things to his advantage. The books are very politically incorrect and extremely funny. The first is Flashman: A Novel published in 1969.

a ultra tube screamer could be a screamer(type) circuit with the tone section converted to a EQ section. EQ could be high and low sheving controls with graphic or multi parametric mid controls. R.G. Has stated many times here that EQ before and after distortion make big differances. in tone. Maybe I should draw one up and build it. The pre EQ is the tone shaping of the TS clipping section.
maybe a sliding high pass 400 to say 1000 Hz.

I've messed around with something similar. The key to smooth distortion seems to be ramping the frequency response low to high before clipping. Much like a tube amp does when power amp distortion is involved. High frequencies get clipped first. The problem with trying to emulate this with a pedal is that the signal is going to go through the preamp of the guitar amp which is going to highpass filter the signal again making it sound harsh. The common solution to this is to filter a lot of the highs out in the pedal before it goes through the amp.
I thought that if you could emulate the tone control stack of an amp before the clipper and then emulate the 'inverse' of the tone stack after the clipper, it would cancel the effect of the tone stack in the amp itself. This would leave a distorted signal at the power amp that more closely represents an overdriven amplifier. Depending on how well you implemented the clipping, of course.
Complications come in with emulating different 'inverse' tone stacks and allowing for different tone adjustments on the amp itself. Makes for a lot of knobs on the pedal.

Legal documents claim Jay-Z fathered a boy 21 years ago
Jay Z has been blasted with a paternity suit that claims he blatantly lied to a New Jersey court to avoid taking a DNA test that could prove he's the father of a secret love child — who is now 21 years old, according to legal documents.
Rymir Satterthwaite alleges that his mother, Wanda, hooked up with the 45-year-old rapper and entrepreneur in the early 1990s and the two engaged in numerous sex romps before Shawn Corey Carter had become the megastar he is today, the National Enquirer reports.
Acting through legal guardian and paralegal Lillie Coley, Satterthwaite filed a civil lawsuit in December 2014 in which he accused Jay Z of lying in court when he tried to weasel out of taking a paternity test. Satterthwaite has been fighting to get Jay Z to take the test since 2010, when Wanda took the entertainer to court after it was declared that another man in question was not the father.
But the case eventually was dismissed by New Jersey Superior Court Judge Edward McBride Jr. on the basis that he did not have jurisdiction to preside over the proceedings. Jay Z's attorney had previously argued that his client was living in Manhattan at the time, the National Enquirer reports.
The dismissal opened the door for Coley to file her suit in December, claiming the rapper lied when he said he resided in New York. She argued that Jay Z had provided "fraudulent" and "false" information to the judge and that he in fact owned three homes in the Garden State, according to the court papers.

Possible Cause: The Bottom Power Switch is turned OFF, or DEEBOT 79's battery is low.
Solution: Make sure DEEBOT 79's Bottom Power Switch is ON and fully charged.
Possible Cause: The infrared signal cannot be transmitted because the Infrared Emitter on the Remote Control or DEEBOT 79's Infrared Receiver on DEEBOT 79 is dirty.
Solution: Use a dry cloth or the Multi-Function Cleaning Tool to wipe the Infrared Emitter on Remote Control and the Infrared Receiver on DEEBOT 79.
Possible Cause: There is other equipment interfering with the infrared signal to DEEBOT 79.
Solution: Avoid using the Remote Control near other equipment using infrared signals.

text: Have a question. I am coming from a Berry. I have the Gmail account set up but the emails are very delayed. On my berry I would get all Gmails almost instantly. Dont want to go start changing settings on the phone that will kill my battery. Like most have said the phone is very nice. The screen is way nicer than the Evo and on LTE it is very fast. So far the battery seems like a big issue (for me). I work in 4g area and live in 3g. I am going to give it a few days to settle before making any real determinations. Any help appreciated.

Inventory & Purchasing Management
Inventory Management
You want to sell stock now, but you also need to ensure that you have the right product, in the right place, to meet variable demand. You must have pinpoint control and visibility of your stock at all times in order to meet demand and remain competitive.

to finish - that's if you want to use paper. The software also caters
for paperless delivery of purchase orders to suppliers, goods receipts
and receipt of supplier invoices using the latest EDI / XML technology;
Quantum VS will even automatically match invoices against goods
received notes wherever possible. Invoices which fail can be matched
Purchase orders may be produced based on standard reporting criteria, or sophisticated stock analysis routines generated to automatically calculate & suggest stock replenishment levels. Stock receipts are matched to originating purchase orders with support for multiple supplier deliveries, over/under delivery and product substitutions.
Supplier invoices are matched against original purchase order and goods receipts. Fully matched supplier invoices are processed with an optional debit note and a covering letter generated for disputed invoices.

|Real Bug Paperweights for your favorite Entomophobic (STAGHORN LIMITED, 362 Third Ave 212.689.0858).
We New Yorkers are forever in a rush. There are always places to go, leave or be at, sometimes all at once. I've often boasted that I once attended three dinner parties, all scheduled at the same time, and ate dinner at all three.
Little wonder that I've SOMEHOW accumulated that dreaded middle-age spread, despite doing Pilates, swimming, weight-lifting and riding my Schwinn daily.
Occasionally, one finds oneself with some time to waste, maybe because we're running early, or others are running late, or we've finally decided to stop running and just enjoy a mindless stroll around our beloved metropolis.
|CAROL'S DAUGHTER window featuring famous investor (and face of) Jada Pinkett Smith.
|Unfortunately, for my pocketbook, it's during those little gifts of time that I indulge in my FAVORITE bit of exercise: Store exploration. And it's not like you even need to expend any energy seeking out a shopping center: This entire city is a mall!
When I was last with you, I was spending my way through Harlem, so that's where we'll begin. And what better way to salute uptown than with an emporium filled with treasures for one's crowning glory? I speak of the awesome CAROL'S DAUGHTER (24 West 125th Street, 212.828.6757).
The offerings are a godsend for the dry and damaged amongst us and don't end at the hairline if you take the trip up to their flagship store (A limited range of their hair products can be found at Sephora and a few other outlets around town). With little sayings sprinkled throughout the store like "You are far too spiteful. You've got to cleanse your spirit, but so God can bless you."
Price offers remedies in loads of scents (How about "Sweet Honey Dip Chocolate Brown Sugah"?) and various configurations. Between all of the salts and butters (shea, scar, love…) are fragrances, make-up, bath products and collections geared towards kiddies, mommies-to-be and gents.
The prices are extremely reasonable, being in the low to mid-range double digits. Check out the web site (CarolsDaughter.com) to see the bounty since I was forbidden to shoot photos inside (though I did sneak ONE).
I next ambled up to re-connect with an old pal, Montgomery Harris, at JOLINDA BY MONTGOMERY (23113 Adam Clayton Powell Blvd: AKA 136th & 7th Ave 212.690.2166). It took 2 seconds before she screamed and we were in each other's arms. Monty made clothing for me to DJ in years ago and then we had a falling out.
The highest compliment I can pay Harris is that Vivienne Westwood once hired me to spin at her post-show party in Paris, partially because she was so awestruck by the way I was dressed when I deejayed an event in Monte Carlo that she had attended. Monty had designed all of my clothing for that weekend.
Though she now has a lovely spacious shop, there is, as usual, no inventory, no stock, but only one-of-a-kind capsule collections. "Once a story is finished, I go on to a new story." Harris explains, emphasizing that her inspirations come from pop culture and iconography. Happily, Monty let me take many photos of what was featured that day.
Luckily, I found exactly the dress I was looking for to DJ a big wedding I had coming up. These pieces are timeless, beautifully crafted and easy to wear, care for and pack. And our personal problems are a thing of the past. As her website says: "Art is an elastic sort of love."
|Rayon Jersey Swarovski crystaled JOLINDA (It means "I am pretty" in Spanish) DRESS ($260 at JOLINDA BY MONTGOMERY, 23113 Adam Clayton Powell Blvd. 212.690.2166).
|Long TOGA DRESS with vintage jeweled shoulder strap. A micro-mini version is also available ($360 at JOLINDA BY MONTGOMERY).
|Silk Chiffon FLAPPER DRESS with Vintage Chantilly Lace Trim and Crystal Closure ($563 at JOLINDA BY MONTGOMERY).
|Cotton DORIS DAY Dress ($240 at JOLINDA BY MONTGOMERY).
|With that in mind, let's spring down to Gramercy. Have I got an unexpected pocket of delights for you! Being a neighbor, it has often made me giggle to watch people walk by the 30 year-old STAGHORN LIMITED (362 Third Ave., 212.689.0858), then IMMEDIATELY backtrack and either stay glued looking in the windows or rush inside. Though it carries the usual gift shop fare, this is NOT your usual gift shop.
You can find photo albums everywhere, right? But these, by Canadian-based Molly West, are hand-bound and covered in embroidered and printed silks, linens and velvets, sometimes dotted with Austrian crystals. There's even one called the "Jackie O." Naturally, there are tea thingies.
|Scented and Flavored Spanish Lip Balms and Scented Soaps (Lip Balms: $9.50 each or $21.95 for a set of 3 and Soaps $10.50) at STAGHORN LIMITED, 362 Third Ave 212.689.0858.
|However, when was the last time you saw silk loose tea infusers shaped like pyramids? I thought so. And while there are books that are super for coffee tables, there are also ones that might actually be read when left in your guest rooms. Who could resist such titles as Where's Dildo?, Kabbalah On Love, How To Be A President or a wondrous pop-up book on dinosaurs? If only our childhood Summer reading lists carried such material, we all might have pursued doctorates in English Lit.
|Clockwise from top left: Embossed wood 1930's JEWELRY CASES reclaimed from Shanghai. "Housekeepers made these for their master ..." ($65-$150); TEA FORTE Teas and Tea Accessories ($12-$74); Various Dog-themed Items (Leather and Plastic Frames, $16-$18); MOLLY WEST Photo Albums ($24-$64); Designer FLOOR MAT ($22).

Multi-colored paisley PLATES ($54), DEMITASSE CUPS AND SAUCERS ($48) and CAFE CUPS ($46). All available at STAGHORN LIMITED, 362 Third Ave, 212.689.0858.
|We'll end our tour even further Downtown off Third Ave, right around the corner from the Bowery Hotel. Let's say you have a friend in town or you're spending a lovely romantic weekend away from your own home or you are from out-of-town or….oh you get the point. Anyway, you want to go shopping and you fear and/or loathe SoHo. Well, march your bad self into JOHN DERIAN CO. DRY GOODS (10 E. 2nd St. 212.677.8408) and whip out the credit cards…unless you're carrying $22,000 in cash for that Queen Anne Highboy you suddenly cannot live without.
I've actually scored some gorgeous silk and sheer cotton clothing there for under $100, so there ARE alternatives. And even if $200 seems pricey for a child's Halloween costume, the sales associate helpfully explains, "These are YEAR ROUND costumes. We consider them HEIRLOOMS because they are of such high quality."
|Clockwise from top left: 1780 QUEEN ANNE HIGHBOY ($22,000); SIDESHOW KITTIES (Disco Kitty, $315; Lobster Kitty, $336; Mermaid Kitty, $378; Lola the Parasite Twin, $336); Rack of CLOTHING (Various Prices), LE CORBUSIER 3 SEAT SOFA ($2,900), LE CORBUSIER PAIR ($3,200), JOHN ROBSHAW PILLOW COVERS ($48-$125 depending on size and style), and PILLOW INSERTS ($20-$60). FRENCH CHANDELIER WITH TURKISH ORNAMENTS circa 1850 ($1200). All available at JOHN DERIAN CO. DRY GOODS, 10 E. 2nd St, 212.677.8408).

|Uh-huh. Now, rush to the nearest (wine) bar to drown those sorrowful memories of yesteryear when a purchase in the E. Village didn't require taking out a second mortgage.

"When the month of Ramadan comes, the doors of Heavens are opened and the doors of Hell are closed and the devils are chained"The Holy Book of Quran was sent down in Ramadan, which increases the significance of the month further. Quranic Ayah States:
"Ramadan is the (month) in which the Quran was sent down, as a guide to mankind…"
Further, in 30 days of the month, Muslims perform Sau'm (Fasting) being a Divine obligation which is incumbent upon all adult Muslims. It is not the question of going without food; it actually strengthens the relationship between the man and his Creator, because the man avoids all sinful activities.
The Holy Quran states:
"The one, who fasts for a day for the sake of Allah, will find his face away from fire (Hell) to the extent of distance to be covered in seventy years."Apart from spiritual benefit, abstinence from food and water for an entire month is physically beneficial as well. It gives rest to stomach and cleanses extra elements such as cholesterol and toxic materials from the body.
Even a social benefit rises up, as when the whole Muslim community is fasting, it gives a sense of togetherness in the community.
There is no better time to learn Arabic than Ramadan; hence One Month- special Arabic Language Course for kids and Family will be conducted at Mentors Linguist Teaching and Translation Consultant - premises in Defence Area, from 20th June 2015 till July 15th 2015.

Esther Baker Troll
Yes little Esther, or 'Fester' as some have taken to calling her is by her own loose definitions, a troll.
Fester likes nothing better than trolling. Sod catching her alleged Lord and Judge, who nicely gave themselves titles whilst Fester claims they were abusing all and sundry in the woods.Or not in the woods, since her story seems to have moved on, and the woody element is now downplayed against houses. And the family member and others she happily named, are also now downplayed to 'trusted family members'
Perhaps if Fester could have got that one right to begin with, she might have had more credibility.
Having had her 5 mins of 'fame' and a few 1st class rail tickets, Fester is drifting back to her trolling ways
Now with Fester, a troll is someone who disagrees with her. Obviously that includes her pet hates, Lavery and McFadyen, but also several others have joined like Eve Thomas, anti-abuse campaigner who dared to disagree with Fester and the dubious survivors group, 'reflections'.
Now too be fair, there is probably no more than a handful of members of reflections, and that includes, who-ate-all-the-pies Jenny Tombola, and Phil Weasel, trolls in their own right.
Here Goes Fester again, lying and trying to keep someone in the fold by doing so.
Now this is untrue, since Fester allegedly went into hospital late on the 9th or early 10th according to her mates TL, yet the Wilmers kicked off much earlier in the day along with the csa announcements, but hey whats another Lie
Fester herself was giving 'media interviews' darlings, same time the Wilmers were trolling during that day
Interesting to note that whilst she claimed to be in hospital the next day, she still managed to RT one of Rory Mitty's posts
But Fester believes she can blag and and play the sympathy card for all it's worth on anyone to achieve her aim.
Shameless exploiter and a disgrace to all genuine victims
But perhaps Fester and the gutless G Wilmer should take Rory Mitty's suggestion to someone else
Namely if you can't cope with social media criticism,yet troll happily, remove yourself - don't blame others or shamelessly play for sympathy and use it to deflect genuine criticism
When arrests are made lmao
At the rate Fester has named her abusers before the police have even had time to get their notebooks out, there will be no case, genuine or otherwise
As for any other arrests re Wilmer - the man is an utter fruitcake, a laughing stock - wasting police time and doubtless giving them a good laugh as well
Here's Fester's favorite card
Here are some comments about Fester etc, from another entirely unrelated blog, and I post them without comment for the moment at least
Ms Baker a few days ago ( pre Sky broadcast) went into a frenzy about how a csa meeting unauthorised recording might 'identify her if it were made public (which was at best, extremely doubtful). It caused her much distress she claimed, reliving abuse, her abusers might locate her etc.That was just a few days before her media story went public and she identified herself with pictures and PR to millions,not just a few twitterati
She works in a betting shop in Merseyside
So why the fake outrage and tears a few days before? -see her timeline,
Was it distress as she claims that a previous alleged abuser might identify her, or merely distress it might interfere with her media exclusive spotlight?
It must have been lies because she was clearly going ahead with Sky at the time, which meant millions would see and know, including her alleged abusers.
Or was it just her excuse to attack someone on a false pretext, even now more fake outrage saying the Inquiry isn't 'protecting her' .It was her choice to launch the PR with Sky, not the Home Office.
Check on all the sky reports for the plug for Lantern project at the bottom, since this venture was organized by Wilmer, and he got his spot and plug in on every Sky report as a condition.
Would it have been given the coverage without the alleged politician??
So it's not just someone deciding to go tell the police, it's a planned media staged event linked to funding and promotion.
Why not just go to the police and let them handle it, including any public appeals?
why prejudice a case via a media story?
There is an obvious answer.
Wilmer wants to be seen as THE voice of survivors and wants cash, and losing his position on the panel meant he lost not only the fat daily fee, he lost his snout in trough time for available funding that went with it.Since then he's been MEGA MEGA pissed off, blaming McFadyen and Laveri
Esther is part of his troll group for both, along with his son Rory ( twitter account now deactivated ) who basically said McFadyen was a paedophile and more.It was all very very very toxic from Rory. So much so that Rory Wilmer's previous supporter and helper, gojam, decided he was too much of a liability and disowned him- see his TL - i have screenshots.
RWilmers account 'disappeared' shortly afterwards. Graham Wilmers proxy trolling nosedived.
This is Rory and the Wilmer desire for publicity
Not comprehensive, but arrested and charged numerous times.
Rory claimed he just wanted to see his son, who was about 5 at the time in 2004 ( now about 16). Heart strings you might say, except it's hardly the full story.He was abusive to his ex,and had restricted access to his son as a result,but he wanted it HIS way or no way, threatening his ex if he didn't get it.But if he was so wanting contact with his son, why did he a few months after the demos, piss off to Europe for 10 years traveling and avoiding maintenance?
Both Wilmers are very OCD liars who demand their own way or else.
Why does Ms Baker seem more keen until the recent Sky report that is,on trolling other 'survivors' namely McFadyen and Laveri and supporters,than anything else?
That didn't make the Sky report,surprise, surprise!!!!
There is far more untold and reaches back to others.

Esther Baker may indeed have been a victim of abuse at some time, by someone. But it's hard to work out who, as she claims to have been assaulted by many different individuals. http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sm9hsl. I'm also left confused as to what she told the police sixteen months ago when they rescued her from domestic abuse and what she's only told them now. Have they investigated or even arrested any of the other people she's accused of serious criminality - her father, the pimp, her partner, any of their associates?
I have to say the Sky news tale sounds like a rehash of the old Satanic abuse stories, hence the incongruous open air setting. The mention of a *Labour* politician may be a subtle hint that the whole thing is even sillier than it appears.
Perhaps they should put up posters.
'Were you on Cannock Chase in the 1980s or 1990s? Did you see a bunch of kids,miscellanous adults, and a well known politician with a police guard. Oh, and a cameraman. If so contact Staffs Police on etc.etc.
If you go down to the woods tonight . . .
Anonymous29 May 2015 at 22:34
I have read Esther Bakers tweets, and not just the recent ones, but those dating back for some time. I would describe her as something of a social media bully, who if confronted quickly plays the victim card to try to portray herself differently than her actions would suggest.
No, we heard nothing in the MSM of her claimed long term family abuse, or the abuse she's claiming with later partners, yet this must have covered a larger section of her life, and where she must know some of the names of her alleged abusers, who if correct would have abused others, so one might expect greater chance of prosecution.What we only get to hear is of nebulous Lords, Judges, and a 'Politician' the headline grabbing stuff that sells.
She claims her mother was a nurse who worked night shifts during her childhood, which provided the opportunity for her father to abuse her. Odd then that what must have been some very obvious physical and mental signs of distress, her mother failed to note or act upon
There is I understand, a Sunday Times article due which she appears upset about and she claims it concerns one of her alleged abusers
She is described as co-founder of the new CSA group reflections UK, with her twitter associates including Graham Wilmer.Oddly enough these events have all coincided.
disco30 May 2015 at 03:57
I believe the Sunday Times article is this weekend, and she Baker is already saying it's lies. I can only assume it's her father/ex/pimp as they must be the easiest to trace.
Surely it's only fair to hear both sides, even in the media.
I have heard nothing whether any previous claimed abuse was actually prosecuted or not. If not why not, and why is so little coverage given to it?
Bit like Karen Danzuck's own claims which her family contested were porkies.
I am sure having her husband an MP on the make and plugging child abuse,and Karen looking for advancement had nothing to do with it.
Perish the thought.
I don't know what happened or not to EB, but I find the thought that such a group on the chase were calling each other judge, or lord during a major crime.
What next, bank robbers leaving their contact details.
Anonymous31 May 2015 at 13:36
I was thinking the same on the Dolphin Sq aspect that Fester said she read someone's description, and decided she was there too. Most nurses work shifts, bit unusual to be working all nights if that's what she is implying.But it gets more bizarre. She is saying there wasn't just her, but about 7 girls on the chase.Seven!!!!!. So how many alleged abusers, apart that is from just 2 police officers, sometimes in uniform, sometimes not. I wonder how she knew they were police officers if not in uniform,unless she's claiming they were just two regulars. So for all those years with all those girls, in the evening sessions and all those people, nobody noticed/reported a bus trip on the chase, with a large number of people, few policemen, camera, lights and strange goings on, and why no girl made a break for it and managed to successfully hide in the undergrowth, at least a few times, given there were about 7 or more?
Why the chase anyway, surely it's hardly the place to take 7 or more kids to abuse in secret given the risks involved, surely they would have found a secure place rather than risk being caught by passers by, who apparently never saw a thing over all those years.
She claims by going public now, shes more safe since her abusers wont dare come back as she's now high profile. Since the only abuse she is talking about is when she was a girl, she isn't anymore, so why would they?
She also says she first reported events to the police in 2012, but by implication, nothing happened.
I wonder why? Wasn't till she teamed up with the-man-with-a-stupid-moustache and exaro,a former lib dem mp, and sky, that changed. Exaro sell stories and need cash.What sells now is this stuff.
Anyone 'counseling' must have few stories they could plug, add a bit of media circulated but uncorroborated gossip, provided by newsagency and dah da.
Anonymous2 June 2015 at 23:29
The ex LibDem she is accusing, if you read back on her tweets, is actually part of the inquiry.
He sat in on many meetings, poses as defender of children and a reformer. I know one smart chap's worked it out - he pointed it out to me. Once you know who she is accusing, the fury of some of the others in the group makes sense! Look at Wilmer's tweets about hiding in plain sight, cloaking devices, the inquiry being infiltrated by paedophiles..
Anonymous3 June 2015 at 04:42
There are no MP's who are 'part of the Inquiry' .I read what she tweeted, taken with other bits of information it's not difficult to narrow things down.That should not be done.
That's what happens when you bit by bit have someone named. So anyone coming forward could have done the same, together with now knowing details of where, how and when.Evidence unreliable.
Wilmer is stupid, and his son is even more stupid.The only thing he's interested in is cash and revenge.
Wouldn't trust him an inch. Can't say much more about Baker either from what I've seen and read.
I don't want trial by media, and I don't believe in those who do.
Anonymous3 June 2015 at 05:51
Exro won't, they will just drop hints,because it's yet another drip-by-drip story to flog.They can't afford a libel action.
They need cash pronto to pay back their loans,and were allegedly expecting a few nice stories from some former Inquiry panelists as was, till May rightly dumped the old panel, and now they have never stopped moaning about it since.
Wilmer's customers might be a ready made client list for any PI firm, and Wilmer would have had his panel fees and funding under the old setup.
T King wants to be deputy leader of Labour Party, partly on the back of csa
All very cosy, but nowt much to do with justice.
Wilmer and his cronies are loathsome self-interested vermin, pretending to be something else
Michaela Norton10 June 2015 at 16:34
You complete and utter arseholes. You have no idea! Way too quick to judge. The Lantern Project is such an amazing organisation who in no way care or are interested in fees from anyone!
You bastards have no clue. Wait and see then your apology will still not be accepted!!!!!
Disco11 June 2015 at 04:46
That would be the same Ms Norton who is seen in a picture cuddling up to Mr Wilmer, and religiously defends his every action on social media.
Wilmer is a very odd looking character, and while that isn't always a good indicator, in this instance it rather is.
He & his son the feckless Rory ( whose idea of beautiful Prague and Performance Art, was slinging dog poo around the city ) have been trolling others on twitter because he is pissed off he lost his daily dosh.
He is currently spamming everyone to support his bid for cash, even though Ms Norton says he has no interest in it.
Odd the FACTS don't support her.
How much did Exaro make from selling Bakers story to MGN? how much did Baker & Wilmer get?
Baker's supporters claim she got nowhere till she teamed up with Wilmer, and the mysterious Lords & Judges, and the not so mysterious Lib Dem ex MP
And Exaro know of two others alleged to have come forward- one before Bakers own PR campaign
So how do Exaro know as apparently they haven't been interviewed, nor to my knowledge have the police confirmed this?
Surely they aren't more complainants from the Exaro stable, - come forward my children, Exaro will listen and sell your story - 'by the way did you ever meet one ex LibDem MP vocally supportive of the Inquiry, surely you must have, perhaps in the Chase - think hard I am sure you will recall, we can help.'
I have no reason to believe some of the volunteers are not supportive at Lantern, but Wilmer has his eye & their stories on other more material things if they broadly fit the bill, and are receptive.
Add to that Exaro's appeal for you to tell them your tale, and you too could be in the Sunday People or Mirror.Complainants get publicity and greater focus from the police, others get a nice wedge out of it.

Healthy, athletic blonde leading lady Shawn Weatherly was elected Miss Universe in 1980. Four years later, she made her first film, Cannonball Run II, and co-starred in her first weekly TV series, Shaping Up. In the late summer of 1985, viewers watched as Ms. Weatherly learned the rudiments of deep-sea diving during a round-the-world voyage, a year-long experience pared down to a five-episode TV documentary series Oceanquest. Shortly before accepting the occasional role of Dale Robertson's daughter on the weekly J. J. Starbuck (1987) Weatherly displayed a hitherto unsuspected flair for comedy in the role of a nude, accordian-playing Russian defector on the funky Fox Network sitcom The New Adventures of Beans Baxter. In 1989, Shawn Weatherly was cast as lifeguard Jill Riley in the internationally popular series Baywatch, a job she held until March of 1990, when her character was killed by a shark.

Mature Beauty and I went on a vacation to Europe and these photos were taken while we were tourists. Because of her profession her face can never be visible in the photos. If that offends you then seek another contribution. Mature Beauty is 60 and fully natural except that she trims her cooter for me.

The Gift Goes On
Contributed by Curry Pikkaart on Jan 4, 2010 (message contributor)
Summary: Since we are adopted we have a responsibility to promote adoption.
"The Gift Goes On"
Several years ago the Kalamazoo Public Schools made the national news with the announcement of The Kalamazoo Promise. As you may know, some generous anonymous donors gifted large sums of money to establish a fund that would provide students educated in the Kalamazoo Public Schools with money for attending public Michigan colleges. That's what I call a gift that goes on. This morning we celebrate another gift that goes on – the gift of adoption.
We begin where the Bible begins. WHY DO WE NEED TO BE ADOPTED? As the Apostle Paul wrote (Eph. 2:12) "…remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world." Because of the fall of Adam and Eve, we were kicked out of the house, out of the family. We are by nature children of wrath who are disobedient and rebellious. So we need to be adopted BECAUSE WE WERE BORN INTO A SINFUL FAMILY AND WERE THEREFORE OUTSIDE THE FAMILY OF GOD. The only way to get on the family tree, said Paul, was to be grafted in – to be adopted.
So the Bible states that WE ARE ADOPTED. But just what does 'adopt' mean? The dictionary DEFINES it as "to choose for or take to oneself; make one's own by selection or assent...to take or receive into any kind of new relationship…to take as one's own child, specifically by a formal legal act." So to be adopted means TO BE CHOSEN TO BE MOVED FROM ONE GROUP OR FAMILY INTO ANOTHER. Gerald Penix describes it well. "My wife and I waited 15 years for a child that never came by the natural way. However we were approached one day with a lead of a newborn not yet born. I remember standing in front of the judge on our day of adoption. He pointed his finger and asked of me, "Is anyone coercing you to adopt this little boy?" After we had assured him that we were doing so out of love for our son, he made this statement. "From today on, he is your son. He may disappoint you, even grieve you but he is your son. Everything you own one day will be his and he will bear your name." Then he looked to the clerk and gave this command. "So order a change in this child's birth certificate and may it reflect that these are the parents of this child.""
So HOW IS IT WE CAME TO BE ADOPTED? God began with the tiny NATION OF ISRAEL. He decided to love them and bring them into His family. (Dt. 7:7) "The LORD did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples. 8 But it was because the LORD loved you…" So God went to work and freed Israel from bondage to Pharaoh in Egypt and led them into a new home, a Promised Land. The Old Testament tells the history of God's working in the life Of this chosen, adopted people, because he loved them.
Yet we were not part of Israel so how did we get adopted? In 1st century Greek times, parents adopted children in their adolescence, after they had proven their worthiness to carry on the family's name. But the Bible tells us that with God our Father it was different. Paul wrote (Gal. 4:4-7) "So also, when we were children, we were in slavery under the basic principles of the world. But when the time had fully come, GOD SENT HIS SON, born of a woman, born under law, to redeem those under law, that we might receive the full rights of sons." Adoption is not free – there is a huge cost to pay. So God our Father sent Jesus to die in order to pay for our adoption. As someone said, "The price of our adoption was the emptying of heaven of its greatest treasure, God the Son, who is our Savior." On the day of His resurrection Jesus said to Mary, in the Garden, "Go to my brothers and tell them I'm ascending to my Father and your Father." Your Father. Mission accomplished. We were adopted. In Jesus God brought us from one family into another and made us His own. We now belong to Him.
Rob Willis has pointed out that "on January 29, 2003, Athina Roussel became the richest teenager on the planet, inheriting a fortune estimated at that time to be between $800 million to $1 billion; and it all came from her grandfather, Greek shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis through her mother. In 1988, when Athina was 3, her mother, Christina Onassis died at age 37. All of Christina's assets were left in trust to her only child, Athina, who turned 18 in 2003 and was legally able to receive her inheritance. But she had to wait for the money until she was 18! But our spiritual inheritance is different than this. When Paul wrote Ephesians 1:5, he was undoubtedly aware that Roman law allowed for adopted children to enjoy the same rights as natural children. And because we are sons of God, we have an inheritance, and blessings, and riches that are ours in Christ. But unlike Athina Onassis, we are not required to wait in order to receive our inheritance. Adoption is the act of God by which He gives his (children) an ADULT STANDING in the family. Why does He do this? God has adopted us and given us the right of sonship so that we might immediately begin to claim our inheritance and enjoy our spiritual wealth!" We are the children of God, brothers and sisters of Jesus, with full rights and privileges to the family fortune. We are co-heirs with Jesus. And all because of God's great love. What a gift.

Random Thoughts...and Some Bad News
- I NEED a stalker help group! This is serious! I can no longer control myself!
- I had the hiccups the other night and someone suddenly asked me "Where do fish swim?". I responded, "In the sea" and was very confused as to how the question was relevant to my hiccups. I didn't have them anymore.
- If two people who are dating/seeing each other/wanting some action both live with their parents...how do they have sex? It's not like you're in high school anymore and you can sneak home right after school before you're parents get home. It's not like you're in college and you can straight up say to your roommate "Hey...I'm getting laid today. Don't come back until after 4". How does it work? Do you do it in your car? Do you get a hotel? If so then how often? Is it enough? Is it ever enough????
- Update on the Giants game last night...Eli Manning played almost the entire first quarter. I think they put him in because he knew I was there watching. He really does love me.
- After being at a backyard party on Sunday I got a mosquito bite on each foot that have swollen up and my feet now look like sausages. Luckily, I have cute feet so now that they're all swollen they still look so-so.
- If you're looking for some good, clean fun then go on Facebook and change your default language to "English(pirate)". You will not be disappointed.
- Apparently I don't know how to make coffee because every time I make it, it tastes like dirt.
I wrote the previous stuff a few days ago and had it ready to post today. My house caught on fire today while we were all out of the house. The fireman got the dog and the rabbit out safely but our apartment is ruined and we'll be out for a few weeks. I probably won't be around much because we're not sure where we're staying and we have to bounce back and forth with the animals. I'll get back and keep you all posted when I can. Take care until then.

I obviously had too much to drink last night and missed the whole "fire" thing.
I am so sorry to hear about that...
I am sickened by my lack of comprehension of your post when I read it last night.
Peace and Blessings to you and yours.

I had a high school teacher that taught us how to get rid of the hiccups. Someone wanted to go get a drink because she had the hiccups. He pulled out $20, slammed it on the desk, and said, "It's yours if you can hiccup again." I find this method works unless the person is drunk. :)
Sorry to hear about your apartment. I can't imagine!

Sorry about the fire but glad all living things got out safely.

well that IS my real name. Just cause I don't like my last name and prefer NOT to have it there so stalkers (like you) can find me...
In fact, I'm pretty sure that last name swishes away soon as I find Mr. Right. So I can't really claim that name anyway. All that's mine is my first and middle.
Soon as I find Mr. Right...*sigh*

Sorry about the fire, and the lack of a sexual zone! Living with relatives sucks.

I'm changing my name to "Nicholas Alexander" until I find a woman worthy of my last name.
Think of it as a Cinderella search but with names. Whoever's first/middle name best matches my last name will win.
And to your question about where to have sex, you do it in fields/woods where cops aren't going to cite you for public indecency.

Too bad about your apartment fire.. hope things get back to normal soon..
I wish I had your problem-having someone to sleep with, just not a place.. I have the place, just not a man..
Lately I have been thinking of changing my name in the blog world.. hopefully that won't piss you off :)

We had a fire in our last apartment - the idiot in the adjoining apartment brought his motorcycle into the basement and was emptying the gas tank down the drain by the washer. There's a WTF for you . . . big explosion, both my kids are with me in the apartment, and the cat - just craziness.
As far as the sex thing - hotels, backseats, fields, malls, parking lots, the hood of a truck, back of the garage - oh, I'm getting carried away, aren't I?

There are many forms of yoga out there, and I choose to practice Power or Vinyasa Yoga due to the fact it is a rather vigorous and athletic form of yoga.
Performing the Power yoga poses creates internal heat. This heat purifies muscles and organs by expelling unwanted toxins from the body in the form of sweat. Thus, the body is rid of harmful substances making it healthier. The increased body heat also stimulates blood flow to various body parts. As blood carries with it essential nutrients and oxygen, different organs and body systems are replenishing these parts.
Next, just like the body increases its temperature to help fight an infection, the raised temperature helps the immune system and reduces any chance of infection. The heat reduces the chances of injury by helping the muscles loosen up and not straining them. The tendons and ligaments are sufficiently lubricated keeping them flexible. This will help you go deeper into a stretch as well.
Now this is the part most of you would be interested in -
Additionally, the heat stimulates metabolic activity levels and speeds up the process of the breakdown of glucose and fatty acids. This helps to tone your body, giving it shape and definition and also assists the weight loss process.
A lot of people do not know what to expect from a yoga class so they choose not to go. Do something different for yourself - why not!?
Some people think it will be too hard - however, yoga is NOT a competition, so you can take break after break in class. Your ego might not like that, but after a few classes you catch on, and will need less breaks. It is just like learning anything else new.
On the other hand, some people think yoga will not be much of a workout. Power yoga consists of flowing movement, doing postures such as push ups, lunges, ab planks, backbends, and more. How good are you at push ups? How long can you hold a lunge? How are you at balancing on one leg? Or balancing on your arms for that matter? It is very challenging - and fun!
Lastly, I hear - I'm not flexible enough for yoga. Ummm......that's why you need yoga! To keep yourself limber. Don't limber people just look better? I certainly know they feel better!
And yoga keeps the body able to be physical in other activities as we age.
Now I do not mean to offend anyone when saying this - but if you are to try a class, and you SHOULD, I would try it at a studio. Not that gym yoga isn't any good, but studios offer longer classes, heated classes, rooms conducive to yoga, go deeper into the breathing benefits, and are geared towards yogis rather than gym goers. It makes a difference. I definitely teach differently at a gym than I do at a studio. Just my two cents.
Most studios offer first time visitors discounts, especially this time of year, so go for it!
Hello everyone and welcome to the 'Be Better To Yourself' blog. It is my hope that this blog will help you be more fit and more nutritionally aware. Remember, your body is your temple, and it is the only one you have. If you don't take care of it, who will? I am not claiming to be a guru, nor is this to replace medical advice - it is simply a place to voice opinions on how to better yourself! Please feel free to post any comments or questions you may have.
