Do Republicans and pedophile priests share the same vile sexual morality.
I wrote this for the religious forum but it seems to be a question that I should have put to Republicans as they are exhibiting the same vile morality as pedophile priests and the religious who ignore morality to feed their tribal needs.
Do you see any difference in the immoral and unethical position of both groups?
How and why can people ignore their God's immoral ways?
I find it quite strange that Christian, Muslims and Jews can ignore the immoral ways that their God is shown to have in the Bible, Qur'an and Talmud.
If you have read any of the critical books on God, you will have seen God described with some rather disingenuous terms that, if applied to a man, would see that man executed by any moral government in quick order. The Buddhist saying that if you ever meet God, kill him seems quite fitting. Frankly, I think killing him without making him suffer for a time would be too good for him. If hell were real, that would be a better end for him as mankind would surely need to see that torture to gain real closure for God's crimes against humanity. This aside.
I can appreciate the value for society of local churches, mosques and temples but cannot fathom why lying priests, preachers and imams try to sell their God as a good God, when he is obviously more satanic than Satan. Perhaps scripture speak at least one truth in that the whole world would be deceived by Satan and his lying preachers and imams. Not that I believe in Satan.
As a Gnostic Christian, my focus has been to try to become a Parfait, a perfected moral man, using the methods Jesus taught. It has been a long climb up Jacob's ladder and apotheosis put me up one rung and I have tried to climb higher, but seem to have stalled due to my inability to find arguments that are persuasive enough to loosen Satan's grip on the minds of Christians, Muslims and Jews. Their need of fellowship is stronger than their work on their moral sense and they stay in their religions even though they know that their God is immoral and not worthy of their idol worship. This Gnostic Christian truth is not a flattering epithet for God, which is likely what cause their destruction by Inquisition.
The truth hurts the religious even when given with a loving touch. I am not that good at that but have seen good honest lovers of Christ get verbally abused by theists. They think hate is motivating those who speak against their God even when love is the motivator. Hate is born of love, and the Gnostic hate of God is justified on moral grounds, and the attempted correction of a believers moral sense and their thinking is done out of love. They forget that that is how Jesus was and how that love driven expression of hate with what he saw around him almost got him killed at the hands of the Jews. So the myth says.
The fact that I have had many theists resist entering into moral argument of their God indicates that they know that their God is immoral. I can appreciate that once a person accepts the fellowship that his tribal nature seeks, and he can survive without having better morals, he is loath to jeopardize the comfort zone he has created for himself. The problem is that theists are living in self-deception and for one who seeks or has attained Gnosis, a deeper knowing of himself, self-deception is basically not allowed. That is why I have to bother fighting a fight that is almost un-winnable.
If you have an answer to the question I posed at the onset, please enlighten me as I am quite disappointed to see so many living in self-deception and without Gnosis, and following Gods who are demonstrably more Satan like than God like.
In the terrible days that we will face from environmental degradation that will soon be upon us, a new and moral God will be required and we presently do not have one.
I recognize that our tribal and fellowship needs are quite strong and a part of our basic instincts. Do you have any idea as to how we can break Satan's hold on Christians, Muslims and Jews and change their fellowship and tribal needs to a need for a God with decent moral values?

Sorry DL if I don't believe God I certainly don't believe in satan
Neither do I. At least not in the way you understand those words.
That is irrelevant to the issues in the O.P. though.
I hope you did not miss the message.
DL I do jump the gun sometimes. But I'm just glad you're putting questions out there. Cheers mate.
Stephen Thanks. Regards DL
DL, in 1957 when I was quitting Catholicism I read of the Roman church saying the Gnostics were heretics. I understood that they had gone to Egypt and guessed that they might have something worth checking out.
In a couple of years I did look them up but by then I was back to studying math and science and quitting all religion. I chose agnosticism, and finally atheism.
I concluded that a religion that keeps a guy out of prison is serving a useful purpose.
PS. Not every Republican. In 1972-1976 I was living in Phoenix, where only Republicans won elections. I wanted to run in a primary election for the state legislature, and wanting to win, I registered to vote Republican. It was the wrong party for me and I quit it before I became vile.
A wise choice.
"a religion that keeps a guy out of prison"
The U.S. touts itself as a Christian nation.
You might have noted that it has the highest per capita of people in jail.
If I may suggest; return to studying Gnostic Christianity. It is a religion without woo and concentrates on making us the best people we can possibly be.
Some say that the only good Christian is a Gnostic Christian and they are correct.
may i suggest that stiving to be a good person can be done without the belief in a god or afterlife
I agree but seeing as how the U.S. leads the world in jail stats, you are saying that many adult Americans are not good people.
Given the immorality of the mainstream Gods, religions are a hindrance to moral thinking.
Given the immorality of the mainstream All Gods, religions are a hindrance to moral thinking.
I see you did not view that link I gave Tom.
That or you are a poor judge of morality.

Wushu Classes in Portland
Wushu - which is sometimes called Guoshu, Gongfu, or Kung Fu in the West - is the overall term for all self-defense sports in China. Originally, Wushu comprised a set of martial skills used by Chinese soldiers and fighters that were passed on within a family, or a monastery, or from a master to his or her students. Many of these martial arts have an ancient heritage, with Wushu practitioners dating to China's earliest dynasties. Today, Wushu has evolved to become a national sport in the People's Republic of China, with standardized forms, judging criteria and annual competitions. Most of the modern competition forms were derived from parent (or classic) styles and forms.
Wushu is best grouped into four categories: fighting with hands or fists, fighting with swords and other weapons, training in pairs, and training in a group. In practice, Wushu incorporates combinations of attack and defense, advance and retreat, movement and silence, acceleration and slowing down, hardness and elegance, pretense and reality.
Providing instruction in the full range of Wushu styles and forms enables us to find the best styles and techniques for each student's age and physical capabilities. From a physical standpoint, Wushu training in Portland helps students develop strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, stamina, reflexes, and body awareness. On an emotional and intellectual level, we have found that Wushu helps young people gain better self-discipline, focus, and respect both for themselves and for others.

Zenith SA the Swiss luxury watchmaker founded in 1865 by Georges Favre-Jacot brings you the new Zenith Heritage Pilot Extra Special Chronograph. Boasting a long-standing reputation for quality and precision, its one of the few Swiss watch manufacturers producing their own movements in-house. They are famous for the 1969 El Primero calibre that was one of the first automatic chronograph calibers, and n 2012 the El Primero Stratos Flyback was released. Now in 2017 the Zenith Heritage Pilot Extra Special Chronograph has been born.
1969 El Primero Calibre
Zenith Heritage Pilot Extra Special Chronograph
When it comes to Aviation Watches Zenith really have the scene covered with a collection of aviation-themed watches that now includes the new for 2017 Zenith Heritage Pilot Extra Special Chronograph in bronze. Yes, that's right, in bronze. Just look at it, the large bronze case housing the El Primero movement sports giant luminescent numerals on the face, and to the side enormous onion crown and pushers. There is no hiding this beauty!
It's clear Zenith are releasing their creativity in bucket loads when it comes to releasing new Pilot watches, and with this model, Zenith struck all the right notes.
The 45mm wide case is big in anyone`s language and its depth is pretty substantial at 14.25mm but it all comes together to create a large but manageable timepiece with a domed sapphire crystal complete with AR coating on both sides offering water resistance to 100 meters. Sadly, the ornate solid titanium case back with the Zenith flying instruments logo obscures any view
Sadly, the ornate solid titanium case back with the Zenith flying instruments logo obscures any view of the movement, which is disappointing but hardly a deal breaker. As I mentioned before it has massive pushers and crown crafted in browse just as the case is. On the dial, the Arabic numerals are oversized just as everything else is on this model, and the hands are long, wide with gold-plating to complete the aviation theme.
Ornate Solid Titanium Case Back
If you look closely you may see the dial`s surface can either appear satin dark or alternatively, a finely grained but reflective giving a somewhat duplicitous nature that only adds to its attractiveness. The fine grain certainly fits well with the relatively rough and ready masculinity of an unrefined bronze finish.
Satin Finish
Grainy Finish
The strap is a really nice touch using oiled green nubuck leather with a rubber lining that stands out more than many other straps in my view.
Oiled Green Nubuck Strap
So, by now you may be asking yourself about the huge sum of money that you need to hand over to get your hands on this beauty? There have been reports the Zenith Heritage Pilot Extra Special Chronograph will be priced at $7,100 which is a relatively cheaper price than the price of the 38mm Zenith El Primero Original back in 1969.
So far I have seen a number of different prices ranging from $4,450 from chrono24 to $22,900.00 on eBay, so right now its probably best to let the market settle down before making a realistic bid for Heritage Pilot Extra. It's something we see time and time again when a new model is released, first a big rush then the over priced piece appear on eBay for the more passionate of us to make a big emotional purchase.
My advice? Cool your boots and just wait. Prices will level off and you can find you perfect Heritage Pilot Extra at a comfortable price.
If you can't wait that long why not take a look at some other Zenith models that may well catch your eye and cost you a little less, by visiting one of my favorite discount watch stores Jomashop, or alternatively Ashford.com


text: Collection of four short films from Japanese directors. 'Hagemashi Garuza' is directed by Yosuke Fujita and follows three cheerleaders, led by Chiharu (Nanami Sakuraba), who decide to go around cheering up those in need rather than pampered football players. However, when the owner of the coffee shop they frequent (Yoshiyoshi Arakawa) directs them to someone he believes needs cheering up, for the first time the girls' routine doesn't have the effect they had anticipated. 'Boy? Meets Girl' is directed by Tomoko Matsunashi and follows shy teenager Konosuke (Aoi Nakamura), who is unable to make headway with the object of his desire, wannabe photographer Kaori (Misako Renbutsu). Konosuke's friends disguise him as a girl and get him a job modelling for Kaori's photographs, but what will happen when his disguise slips? In 'Kuremu Naito!', directed by Mipo O, Tomochika plays Mayuko, a disgruntled power customer who demands compensation for her loss of electricity and her frustrating dealings with the company call centre. When a complaint rep from the company, Kasai (Tenkyû Fukuda), arrives at her house to apologise, his attempts at conciliation prove more successful than he may have anticipated. 'Sebiro Yashiki', directed by Gen Sekiguchi, stars Kyôko Koizumi as Mayumi, a housewife with tremendous compassion. When she discovers a man, Hirata (Yoshiyuki Morishita), hiding in a car park because he has been fired from his job and feels unable to tell his wife, Mayumi finds a new vocation as a smoother of other people's troubles.

Parting words/
There's a few things I'd like to say before anybody blows these posts off as some depressing memoir. Because yes, it is hard. In fact, it is absolute hell, and I could rant for hours about the trials and tribulations of the loneliness and the medicine, but instead, I'd like to raise mention towards the things that helped me through it.
People are always going to be stubborn. It comes as our first response to our problems, to try and be stubborn and deal with it alone, but at some point you need to learn to forsake pride for your own health. I have held a very straightforward mindset my entire life – if I can't deal with a problem alone it was a weakness, that I wasn't strong enough to solve by myself, and I was always trying to be better. But it isn't weak at all to rely on people to help you through tough times. It's not a matter of whether you're strong enough to get through something.
It's a matter of love. Of whether the people you love are willing to help you through your problems. I learned this summer who I wanted to keep in my life because I knew I could count on them. Physical pains are only the first step of a life-altering journey and my situation was no different. I experienced so much this summer, but it wasn't all bad. I simply had closed my mind to all the good; I couldn't notice it. It seems I had my angels and I didn't even notice they had their wings. My sister, always knocking on my door to see if I wanted to talk, day in and day out, despite my fighting that I'd rather be alone. My mother, trying so hard to get me to eat food or drink water or even get out of bed. My friends, always calling me or sending me messages, always making sure I was okay.
Because now, at this stage, I am okay. My friends and family helped me through it. The people that fought to keep me around when I tried so hard to be alone mean the world to me, and I'm blessed to be able to call them all my angels. I wish there were a way everybody could feel that loved, so I could wish it onto all of you without you experiencing the pains it takes to get there. It is an experience everyone should have and nobody should have, because you see yourself at your best and your worst. It's certainly a humanizing situation.

Its Day 3 of 12 days of Christmas and today i thought i would talk to you about my christmas favourites. I don't have many and i actually found this harder then i thought i would, but nevertheless, i have picked out a few festive items which i enjoy around this time of year.
First up has got to be a good Christmas Jumper. Everyone must have a christmas jumper and if you don't, then you either hate christmas or have been living on planet X for the last couple of years. I am not a big fan of christmas, but its still a necessity to have one or two. I have a snowman one from Primark and also a really cute gingerbread man one from New Look. Not going to get into too much detail as i may or may not have a blog post coming up on them.
Next up is really odd and something i should be into all yer round, but i really love doing skincare in the winter months. I think its because i can feel the effect the cold weather has on my skin and i absolutely hate it. I love nothing better then coming home and lathering my face in serum and moisturiser. Its not really a christmassy thing, but it certainly does love the winter months.
Next up has got to be champagne and chocolate. You can never have enough of these. I don't really drink any form of alcohol, but if i do, i do love a good champagne. My expensive taste isn't pleasant for my bank balance, but i can stretch to prosecco if i have too. I rarely drink champagne after drinking 4 bottles last new years eve, but i do like to have a glass or 2 on christmas day to celebrate. Chocolates are an all year thing, but the maltesers celebrations are just divine. Someone tell me why they haven't made a tin just for them?!?!
Christmas films and music are just an absolute must. From the classics to the new films (not the christmas bunny, looks horrific) they can really get you in the mood for the festive season and when people hear them, i feel everyone is so much more happier and joyful and festive. Sunday nights are the perfect time to wrap up and watch a good christmas film, whether its the Grinch, Elf, Holiday, Home Alone, you can not beat a christmas film.
Wooly hats are just my favourite accessory at christmas. I never wear them in the winter and i think they are so festive and just so cute. I have seen lots of people with christmas pudding ones and i really want one, but i just haven't managed to find one. I think they are just the ultimate christmas accessory and they really do make a christmassy outfit even more festive and winter appropriate.
Finally is some Red lippie and glitter. I love this combination at Christmas as its so festive and really suits the christmassy vibe. I love have golden glitter eye makeup and also glory highlighted cheeks. For me, they really make me feel so much more festive and glam for the christmas period. There is nothing better then red lips on Christmas day either!
So there we go, my christmas favourites. I don't have many, but what i do have i really love to pieces and are super special to me. I would love to know your christmas favourites. I hope you enjoyed and thank you for reading!

Everyone wants a toilet that "does the job" in a single flush. MaP Testing of toilets was developed to identify how well popular toilet models perform bulk removal using a realistic test media, and to grade each toilet model based on this performance. The test results provided here list numerous toilet fixtures and the flushing performance of each fixture. This is essential information for anyone buying a new toilet and for agencies offering financial incentives for the purchase of efficient fixtures. Read more about MaP Testing here.
UNAR is a voluntary qualification system adopted by water authorities that believe it is critical to: 1) achieve sustainable water savings from toilet fixture replacements, and 2) ensure a high level of customer satisfaction with flushing performance. UNAR incorporates elements of the Maximum Performance (MaP) toilet fixture testing protocol together with the Los Angeles Supplementary Purchase Specification (SPS) requirements for chemical resistant flappers and a maximum flush volume under maximum adjustment conditions. Read more about UNAR here.

This year I was determined to visit some new places. I also made an exception a revisited Woods Bagot, Architectural firm right in the city. Mainly because I love their repurposed (and done so in a thoughtful manner) office space and catch up on their latest projects.
My focus being on lines/ light > details. Finding a point of interest, determining the best angle / approach for the photo. And the occasional post edit. One day soon I shall purchase a tilt/shift lens, ideal for tight spots and shooting verticals.

|Paiśācī Prakrit
|North India
|Perhaps from 5th century BCE; most texts 3rd–10th centuries CE[1]
|Language codes
|None (
Paishachi (IAST: Paiśācī) is a largely unattested literary language of the middle kingdoms of India mentioned in Prakrit and Sanskrit grammars of antiquity. It is found grouped with the Prakrit languages, with which it shares some linguistic similarities, but is not considered a spoken Prakrit by the grammarians because it was purely a literary language, but also due to its archaicism.[3]
The etymology of the name suggests that it is spoken by piśācas, "ghouls". In works of Sanskrit poetics such as Daṇḍin's Kavyadarsha, it is also known by the name of Bhūtabhāṣa, an epithet which can be interpreted either as a "dead language" (i.e. with no surviving speakers), or as "a language spoken by the dead" (i.e. ghouls or ghosts), the former interpretation being more realistic and the latter being the more fanciful. Evidence which lends support to the former interpretation is that literature in Paiśācī is fragmentary and extremely rare but may have been once common.
The 13th-century Tibetan historian Buton Rinchen Drub wrote that the early Buddhist schools were separated by choice of sacred language: the Mahāsāṃghikas used Prākrit, the Sarvāstivādins used Sanskrit, the Sthaviravādins used Paiśācī, and the Saṃmitīya used Apabhraṃśa.[4]
The most widely known work, although lost, attributed to be in Paiśācī is the Bṛhatkathā (literally "Big Story"), a large collection of stories in verse, attributed to Gunadhya. It is known of through its adaptations in Sanskrit as the Kathasaritsagara in the 11th century by Somadeva, and also from the Bṛhatkathā by Kshemendra. Both Somadeva and Kshemendra were from Kashmir where the Bṛhatkathā was said to be popular.
Talking of its existence, Pollock writes:[5]:92
Linguists have identified this as everything from an eastern Middle-Indic dialect close to Pali to a Munda language of inhabitants of the Vindhya Mountains […] In fact there is little reason to bother to choose […] Paishachi is the joker in the deck of South Asian discourses on language, having an exclusively legendary status, since it is associated with a single lost text, the Bṛhatkathā (The Great Tale), which seems to have existed less as an actual text than as a conceptual category signifying the Volksgeist, the Great Repository of Folk Narratives […] In any event, aside from this legendary work (which "survives" only in one Jain Maharashtri and several Sanskrit embodiments), Paishachi is irrelevant to the actual literary history of South Asia.

I promised last week that I would actually write a bull opinion on a stock rather than going around and ripping the social media space. So I'm gonna force my attention over to financial institutions and recommend a buy. Beware: most of my posts are written as a result of something I see in the market. This time, however, I'm writing because I want to be bullish on something.
I was tempted to do something in Europe but given the turmoil and uncertainty, I could not think of anything I'd actually recommend.
So how about Bank of New York Mellon? It's great asset manager that has gone through a lot of M&A, acquiring asset managers around the world. This does two things: it diversifies their holdings and gives them increased economies of scale. Given that it is in an industry that is going through much consolidation, worldwide research and economies of scale is a good thing. Add to that a wide economic moat and its an attractive company.
So how are the stats? At 21.44 it's trading at 3/4 book value of 28.51 (ttm). Compared to the S&P 500 it's trading below PE, Price/Sales, and Price/CF ratio averages also. Therefore, it's a pretty cheap stock with regard to those metrics.
As I mentioned before, the company has done a large number of acquisitions lately but is not planning any future acquisitions. I believe this will give the company some opportunities to grow organically as these acquisitions settle into place.
Overall, it looks to be a great stock. While it is an "asset manager", it also is a custodian for a number of funds, giving it the ability to collect fees at low risk, unless something like financial crisis of 2008 happens again and banks start refusing trades from people. But I don't see that happening any time soon.

The hallmark of A. Kahn Design is the lack of pretence – what you see is what you get. And this is why you will see Kahn products in the smarter streets of London, Shanghai and New York. The common denominator is the Kahn brand. In automotive terms it is the ultimate designer label.
And by taking this opportunity to review the Chelsea Wrangler Sahara 2.8 Diesel 4 door, the Chelsea Truck Company CJ300 LE to be precise, we find out first-hand; When you own a Kahn Jeep, you get noticed.
Some would say the Jeep has gone soft, yet the fact of the matter is that Afzal Kahn has successfully presented a warhorse that has become domesticated enough to sit serenely in your garage.
In terms of driving capability - on the open road, or the snow for that matter - the ride is generally good with impressive handling capability. You can't help but drive with graceful purpose - even though the roads are not great due to the bad weather.
On the open road it is rather civilised; with city based commuters and young pretenders in the clamouring city landscape at the helm.
Refinement is much enhanced over previous Wranglers thanks to a very decent styling package. This includes the customary cross hair headlamps, brake calipers, LED daytime running lights, rear light sections and side repeaters, side wing blades, vented foot pedals, spare wheel cover, door entry sill plates in stainless steel and Kahn branding.
And one must not forget that the Jeep's body has been increased by 127mm, so there's enough space for about three or four in the back. And you can get the vehicle with a canvas top, which, along with the doors, can be removed, ensuring a radical look – but we recommend this for warm climates only.
The Kahn Chelsea Jeep also scores profoundly with its luxurious cabin, there's enough space in there to place all your belongings and then-some!
In addition, the Kahn cross hair exhausts in stainless steel ensures the engine purrs, responds quickly and only gets noisy if you are daft enough to go head to head with a Ferrari.
The front grille endows the vehicle with a quintessential British take on motoring luxury, whilst staying true to the original aesthetics of the vehicle – some feat!
Designed to slot in with factory mounting points for easy installation, the Kahn Jeep contains openings within the grille and lower valance in order to combat unwanted road debris - ensuring optimum airflow to the radiator, intercooler and front brakes, thus 'the Kahn grille', can stand the test of time, says Afzal Kahn.
This particular vehicle comes complete with quilted and perforated front and rear seats (heated) in black leather, speedo and rev counter in black and floor mats with 275x55x20" tyres (set of 4).
And if you want a special interior, Afzal Kahn would be happy to design for you a vehicle with an exterior the colour of your jeans and an interior with seats akin to the shade of, let's say, your living room, the choice is yours.
One thing for sure, by owning a Kahn Jeep - you will find that you are not simply blending in with other drivers on the road - the road is your catwalk!

Hey, remember SCO?
I almost forgot myself. It's hard to focus on SCO when we're now into Son of SCO. Or is it Father? Anyway, there was a filing today, and it's important. SCO, as you'll recall, did some FUDding in the media about alleged spoliation, which some SCO-supporting media types lapped up to the very last drop and made sound like a big deal. Well, here's IBM's side. You'll laugh, snort, and then perhaps get mad at SCO, if you're like me and have a sense of justice. SCO has to know that they are raising a bogus issue, I think, but they did it anyway. What do you call that? I call it a frivolous motion, personally, and I more and more suspect we may well see the court sanction both SCO and Boies Schiller before this is over.

Prayer of thanksgiving
Blessed are you, Sovereign God of all,
to you be praise and glory forever.
In your tender compassion
the dawn from on high is breaking upon us
to dispel the lingering shadows of night.
As we look for your coming among us this day,
open our eyes to behold your presence
and strengthen our hands to do your will,

Blessed be God forever.
Light of Those Whose Dreary Dwelling

Light of those whose dreary dwelling
Borders on the shades of death,
Come, and by thy love's revealing
Dissipate the clouds beneath.
The new heaven and earth's Creator,
In our deepest darkness rise,
Scattering all the night of nature,
Pouring eyesight on our eyes.
Still we wait for thine appearing;
Life and joy thy beams impart,
Chasing all our fears, and cheering
Every poor benighted heart.
Come, and manifest the favor
God hath for our ransomed race;
Come, thou universal Savior,
Come, and bring the gospel grace.
Save us in thy great compassion,
O thou mild, pacific Prince;
Give the knowledge of salvation,
Give the pardon of our sins.
By thine all restoring merit
Every burdened soul release;
Every weary, wandering spirit
Guide into thy perfect peace.

Seek the Lord when he can still be found;
call him while he is yet near.
Let the wicked abandon their ways
and the sinful their schemes.
Let them return to the Lord so that he may have mercy on them,
to our God, because he is generous with forgiveness.
cf Isaiah 55
A time of silence and self-examination may be kept.
Lord God,
we have sinned against you;
we have committed evil in your sight.
We are sorry and repent.
Have mercy on us according to your faithful love.
Wash us completely clean of our guilt; purify us from our sin.
Put a new, faithful spirit deep inside us,
and return the joy of your salvation to us
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
cf Psalm 51
May the Father of all mercies
cleanse us from our sins,
and restore us in his image
to the praise and glory of his name,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Bless the Lord,
because he has listened to our request for mercy.
Therefore our hearts will rejoice
and we will thank him with our song.
cf Psalm 28:7,9
The Word of God
Psalm 12
You, Lord, will keep us, protecting us from this generation forever.
Help, Lord, because the godly are all gone;
the faithful have completely disappeared
from the human race!
Everyone tells lies to everyone else;
they talk with slick speech and divided hearts.
Let the Lord cut off all slick-talking lips
and every tongue that brags and brags,
that says, "We're unbeatable with our tongues!
Who could get the best of us with lips like ours?"
But the Lord says,
"Because the poor are oppressed,
because of the groans of the needy,
I'm now standing up.
I will provide the help they are gasping for."
The Lord's promises are pure,
like silver that's been refined in an oven,
purified seven times over!
You, Lord, will keep us,
protecting us from this generation forever.
The wicked roam all over the place,
while depravity is praised by human beings.
Glory to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning is now
and will be forever. Amen.
You, Lord, will keep us, protecting us from this generation forever.
Psalm prayer
Lord, when faith is faint
and speech veils our intentions,
restore us by your word of power and purity,
both now and forever.
Psalm 14
The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord; the knowledge of the holy one is understanding.
Fools say in their hearts, There is no God.
They are corrupt and do evil things;
not one of them does anything good.
The Lord looks down from heaven on humans
to see if anyone is wise,
to see if anyone seeks God,
but all of them have turned bad.
Everyone is corrupt.
No one does good—
not even one person!
Are they dumb, all these evildoers,
devouring my people
like they are eating bread
but never calling on the Lord?
Count on it: they will be in utter panic
because God is with the righteous generation.
You evildoers may humiliate
the plans of those who suffer,
but the Lord is their refuge.
Let Israel's salvation come out of Zion!
When the Lord changes
his people's circumstances for the better,
Jacob will rejoice;
Israel will celebrate!
Glory to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning is now
and will be forever. Amen.
The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord; the knowledge of the holy one is understanding.
Psalm prayer
God of heaven,
look with mercy on all who are consumed
by ignorance and greed,
and let the children of earth know
that you are God forever.
Old Testament reading
Isaiah 25:1-9
Lord, you are my God.
I will exalt you; I will praise your name,
for you have done wonderful things,
planned long ago, faithful and sure.
You have turned the city into rubble,
the fortified town into a ruin,
the fortress of foreigners into a city no more,
never to be rebuilt.
Therefore, strong people will glorify you;
the towns of tyrant nations will fear you.
You have been a refuge for the poor,
a refuge for the needy in distress,
a hiding place from the storm,
a shade from the heat.
When the breath of tyrants is like a winter storm
or like heat in the desert,
you subdue the roar of foreigners.
Like heat shaded by a cloud,
the tyrants' song falls silent.
On this mountain,
the Lord of heavenly forces will prepare for all peoples
a rich feast, a feast of choice wines,
of select foods rich in flavor,
of choice wines well refined.
He will swallow up on this mountain the veil that is veiling all peoples,
the shroud enshrouding all nations.
He will swallow up death forever.
The Lord God will wipe tears from every face;
he will remove his people's disgrace from off the whole earth,
for the Lord has spoken.
They will say on that day,
"Look! This is our God,
for whom we have waited—
and he has saved us!
This is the Lord, for whom we have waited;
let's be glad and rejoice in his salvation!"
Silence may be kept.
New Testament reading
1 Corinthians 4:1-5
So a person should think about us this way—as servants of Christ and managers of God's secrets. In this kind of situation, what is expected of a manager is that they prove to be faithful. I couldn't care less if I'm judged by you or by any human court; I don't even judge myself. I'm not aware of anything against me, but that doesn't make me innocent, because the Lord is the one who judges me. So don't judge anything before the right time—wait until the Lord comes. He will bring things that are hidden in the dark to light, and he will make people's motivations public. Then there will be recognition for each person from God.
Silence may be kept.
Gospel canticle
The Benedictus (The Song of Zechariah)
Jerusalem, look to the east and see the joy that is coming to you from God.
Bless the Lord God of Israel
because he has come to help and has delivered his people.
He has raised up a mighty savior for us in his servant David's house,
just as he said through the mouths of his holy prophets long ago.
He has brought salvation from our enemies
and from the power of all those who hate us.
He has shown the mercy promised to our ancestors,
and remembered his holy covenant,
the solemn pledge he made to our ancestor Abraham.
He has granted that we would be rescued
from the power of our enemies
so that we could serve him without fear,
in holiness and righteousness in God's eyes,
for as long as we live.
You, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High,
for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way.
You will tell his people how to be saved
through the forgiveness of their sins.
Because of our God's deep compassion,
the dawn from heaven will break upon us,
to give light to those who are sitting in darkness
and in the shadow of death,
to guide us on the path of peace."
Luke 1:68-79
Glory to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning is now
and will be forever. Amen.
Jerusalem, look to the east and see the joy that is coming to you from God.
Brief silence.
The Apostle's Creed
Let us unite in this historic confession of the Christian faith:
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again;
he ascended into heaven,
is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
Intercession and thanksgiving
Prayers are offered
for the day and its tasks
for the world and its needs
for the Church and her life
Father, hear our prayer,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Silence may be kept.
Collect of the day
O Lord Jesus Christ,
who at your first coming sent your messenger
to prepare your way before you:
grant that the ministers and stewards of your mysteries
may likewise so prepare and make ready your way
by turning the hearts of the disobedient to the wisdom of the just,
that at your second coming to judge the world
we may be found an acceptable people in your sight;
for you are alive and reign with the Father
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and forever.
The Lord's Prayer
Awaiting his coming in glory,
as our Savior taught us, so we pray
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power,
and the glory are yours
now and forever.
May the Lord, when he comes,
find us watching and waiting.

Reviews & endorsements
'… interesting and relevant for political theorists.' Political Studies ReviewSee more reviews
'This delightful collection of essays in the Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought series is warmly to be welcomed. The effect is impressive. The book sheds considerable light on Maitland's interest in groups and its significance for political theorists and historians of political thought, in particular. The Cambridge edition is as much a tribute to the editors' erudition as it is to Maitland's. The greatly improved accessibility of all the essays is a boon to those interested in questions of law and the state, liberty and groups, and the adaptation of legal theory to life, in a historical and contemporary context.'

Yet another lovely piece. Your illustrations help to make my week.
I find that exercise is the first thing I need to do after breakfast, otherwise it just doesn't happen. I find that the body is much more prepared to workout during the morning than in the arvo.

Saint Bonnet le Froid
Along the road of the peaks, between the collar of Luère (light) and that of Maleval (the reverse) is the hamlet, between two legs of the dragon. It passed a Roman way there (of Aquitaine). From time immemorial this top was devoted to various worships: the druids raised there a furnace bridge, the Romans a furnace bridge with Mercure, and the VIII ème century, the Christians a vault.On the frontage of the current oratory, one can read:"the first Christians devoted to the Blessed Virgin my furnace bridge druidic.

JC Penney is the latest retailer to announce it will begin offering Black Friday deals on the night of Thanksgiving.
Much like Macy's, which announced last week it will be opening at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day, JC Penney department stores will also open at 8 p.m. Thanksgiving Day.
Last year, the struggling retailer opened at 6 a.m., missing much of the Black Friday rush that has crept into Thanksgiving Day for 9 p.m. and midnight doorbuster deal kick off times. In an effort to continue rebranding the retailer's new image, JC Penney has jumped on the Thanksgiving Day shopping bandwagon.
Last year, Walmart, Target and Toys R Us began offering deals as early as 9 p.m. Other chains, like Kohls and Best Buy, held out until midnight.
In 2011 and 2012, Thanksgiving Day beat out Black Friday for the most bargains offered by retailers, according to DealsNews.com, a retail-tracking website that analyzed three years of coupons and discount data in its annual survey. Analysts expect the trend to accelerate for the 2013 holiday season.
JC Penney has stores in the Westfield Sarasota Square Mall and the Desoto Square Mall in Bradenton.

Dad's Veggie Bake
- Place the fresh raw broccoli and cauliflower florets into a baking dish. Make sure to mix them together.
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
- In a sauce pan, pour the milk in and add the English mustard, Aromat and ground pepper.
- On a medium to high heat, bring the milk mixture to the boil. Make sure you continuously stir the milk, to avoid it sticking or burning at the bottom.
- Once the milk starts forming tiny bubbles and at boiling temperature, remove from heat and add the maizina (cornstarch).
- Place back onto the heat, and continue to stir until you feel the mixture thickening.
- Once the milk is at the right consistency, take the mixture off the heat and add 3 cups of grated cheese.
- Stir in the grated cheese until smooth and melted through.
- Pour the cheese sauce over the raw veggies, making sure all is covered.
- Sprinkle the remaining grated cheese on top and bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until golden brown.

Wounded from Gaza battle find shelter in an East Jerusalem hospital
Ashraf Aman, 34, had gone to a bank in the Gaza Strip town of Tal el Hawa to cash his paycheck when an Israeli missile hurtled to the ground nearby, sending shrapnel through his left shoulder and knocking him unconscious.
Now he lies in a bed in Makassed hospital in Jerusalem, one of dozens of wounded Gaza residents who've been referred here by overwhelmed doctors at Gaza City's Shifa hospital. Aman, a messenger with a pregnant wife and six children, has been told he should expect to be hospitalized for four weeks. His home in the Shajaiya section of Gaza has been destroyed _ his wife and children are staying with his brother _ and his father, Nabil Aman, spends the nights on a mattress on the floor next to his son's bed.
"I just want to go home and see my wife and the kids," Aman said.
Jerusalem's Makassed Islamic Charitable Society Hospital is the largest Palestinian medical facility in Arab East Jerusalem, and it is now the primary address for many patients who can't be treated in the Gaza Strip. A day at Makassed shows the brutality of the civilian casualties in Gaza. It also displays moments of grace where both Israeli Jews and Palestinian volunteers meet among the patients.
Before the Israeli military operation in Gaza, Makassed director Rafiq Husseini said, his hospital was caring for 35 patients from Gaza suffering from chronic or complex ailments. Now that figure has nearly doubled, and Gaza residents occupy a quarter of his hospital's 250 beds. Their injuries range from skull fractures to spinal cord damage and trauma to the limbs, kidneys and lungs.
"When you have 10,000 injuries in Gaza, no hospital system can cope with these numbers," Husseini said. In addition to accepting injuries from Gaza, Husseini said he has sent a surgeon and six nurses to work in Gaza's Shifa hospital. He has also had an increase in emergency cases because of clashes between Palestinians and Israeli security forces in East Jerusalem and the West Bank, mainly triggered by anger over the war in Gaza. At least 17 people have been killed in West Bank unrest.
"We're running out of everything almost," Husseini said. "When you have all emergency cases you have to rush them immediately to theater, you have to deal with them in intensive care, there is no waiting and there is no way to plan."
Husseini said he is in close contact with colleagues at Shifa hospital. Asked about reports that Hamas set up a command center beneath the hospital, Husseini said he thought they were "rubbish" and that neither he nor the visiting doctors from Makassed have seen evidence of the claim. If it were true, however, it would be unacceptable. "To use a hospital as headquarters for . . . a militant group is immoral, and therefore I hope there is no such thing," he said.
Khaled Abu Mrahil, 6, fractured his skull when the building he was in in the Zeitoun neighborhood of Gaza City collapsed two weeks ago during an Israeli strike. He has emerged from a coma but he barely speaks. His mother, Nehad, left Khaled's three brothers and four sisters in Gaza to join her young son. At night she sleeps on a foldout couch in his room.
Other companions of patients sleep on mattresses in the hospital hallway. Israeli authorities grant patients and their companions a day-permit to leave Gaza to travel to Makassed; after that, they must stay on the hospital grounds. Husseini says it's difficult to care for the needs of both the patients and their companions; he hopes to provide mobile homes outside the hospital to ease congestion.
Televisions on stairway landings play news nonstop. On Tuesday, one screen showed Hamas spokesmen claiming a victory in Beit Hanoun.
Volunteers visited the hospital, bearing gifts, flowers, balloons and food. One of those was Mustafa, a man who asked to use a pseudonym for fear his visit here would affect his pending request to live permanently in Israel.
Eight years ago, Mustafa was driving through Gaza with his family when an Israeli missile hit a militant in a passing car. The shrapnel killed Mustafa's wife, mother, son and brother, he said. One of Mustafa's two surviving children was paralyzed, and he has been in Israel ever since providing care.
Mustafa came to visit his brother-in-law, and brought plastic bags full of fresh hummus, Falafel and pita bread. Walking through Makassed's wards, Mustafa said the scene brought back terrible memories.
"It is returning me to what happened eight years ago," he said. "My heart is aching over what's happening. . . . I thought my child would be an example for all the world to stop these wars, and just to live life."
Operation Protective Edge, as the Israelis call the military campaign in Gaza, has broad support in Israel, according to public opinion surveys. One poll taken in July by the Israel Democracy Institute, a nonpartisan Jerusalem research center, showed more than 90 percent of Israelis supported the operation, which Israel says was intended to stop Hamas from firing rockets at Israel and to destroy a network of tunnels Hamas has used to send fighters into Israel.
Still, the bloodshed _ nearly 1,900 Palestinians dead, at least 9,000 wounded, plus the 64 Israeli soldiers and three civilians in Israel who died _ has produced some dissenters. For them, Makassed has been a place to act on their frustrations.
Naama Preis came to the hospital to donate blood, her fist clenched as red fluid streamed from her arm into a medical pouch. Above her was a grainy photocopied photograph of the late Yasser Arafat, chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization, doing the same thing. Preis, 29, said she drove to Makassed from Tel Aviv after she read about the Gazan patients there. Makassed sent 150 units of blood to Gaza on Sunday, and Preis was contributing to a second delivery.
"It's important for me to meet Palestinians, and to talk to them, to let them know that I maybe think differently," she said. "And to give myself hope."
Areej Masswadeh, a trainer in the blood bank, snapped a photo of Preis.
"I just find it weird," she said. "I see this for the first time. That Jewish people come and give their blood to us."
For Nabil Aman, even sleeping on a mattress on the hospital floor near his son reminds him of better days. He speaks Hebrew from years of working on Israeli construction sites near Tel Aviv – but he has not worked in Israel since 2004. Now he's waiting for his son to recover, both because he is Ashraf Aman's father and because Ashraf is the main breadwinner for 17 people, including his parents.
Talking with visitors at the hospital, Jewish and Palestinian, is a breath of fresh air for Nabil Aman, who never leaves the hospital grounds.
"I go downstairs to the garden and I smoke a cigarette," he said. "I can't leave. His arm is in so much pain all the time. He can't sleep at night from the pain."

Farmer Anne's Thoughts About That Tough Month
I always advise other farmers to refrain from making big decisions in July. I have told enough friends this piece of advice that it has begun to make its way back to me. "Anne, you know what you say, you should never make big decisions during the month of July." Why, you ask? July is an interesting time as a farmer. You started sowing seeds in the greenhouse during the end of February. You have been going full force (ish) for five months, and have another five months of steady work ahead of you. Often times the weeds have taken over (though, I must say, Poughkeepsie Farm Project is a miraculously almost weed-free farm, go team!). The heat is making certain crops jump for joy (tomatoes and melons), and other crops hang their head in defeat (lettuce, brassicas, and the sweaty farmers themselves). There has been enough time for a few diseases and insects to do some real damage on certain crops. The true bounty that is the months of August and September hasn't quite kicked in yet. You are waiting on the tomatoes and peppers to ripen up, as you pick cucurbits all day long, leaving your arms scratched and you palate craving sweet. Farmers can be a little tired, worn out, maybe even a little discouraged in July.
But, here's the thing about July. It's a GREAT time to bite into that first watermelon. To taste the first sungold of the season. To make your first bouquet of the year. To "hug it out," (as I say), with your crew after you finish planting the last bed of brassicas on plastic (which is possibly one of the most frustrating tasks for this farmer). To sit and catch up with a friend in the blueberry bushes, nibbling away as you chat. To take time to jump into cold bodies of water. To sit after work and gaze at your yard for half an hour, doing nothing but watching, being, seeing.
This leads me to one of my favorite quotes, which I feel is one of those saving graces, an important reminder for all of us, especially for farmers during the month of July. The following is an excerpt from Annie Dillard's book 'Pilgrim at Tinker Creek'.
When I was six or seven years old, growing up in Pittsburgh, I used to take a precious penny of my own and hide it for someone else to find. It was a curious compulsion; sadly, I've never been seized by it since. For some reason I always "hid" the penny along the same stretch of sidewalk up the street. I would cradle it at the roots of a sycamore, say, or in a hole left by a chipped-off piece of sidewalk. Then I would take a piece of chalk, and, starting at either end of the block, draw huge arrows leading up to the penny from both directions. After I learned to write I labeled the arrows: SURPRISE AHEAD or MONEY THIS WAY. I was greatly excited, during all this arrow-drawing, at the thought of the first lucky passer-by who would receive in this way, regardless of merit, a free gift from the universe. But I never lurked about. I would go straight home and not give the matter another thought, until, some months later, I would be gripped again by the impulse to hide another penny.
It is still the first week in January, and I've got great plans. I've been thinking about seeing. There are lots of things to see, unwrapped gifts and free surprises. The world is fairly studded and strewn with pennies cast broadside from a generous hand. But—and this is the point—who gets excited by a mere penny? If you follow one arrow, if you crouch motionless on a bank to watch a tremulous ripple thrill on the water and are rewarded by the sight of a muskrat kid paddling from its den, will you count that sight a chip of copper only, and go your rueful way? It is dire poverty indeed when a man is so malnourished and fatigued that he won't stoop to pick up a penny. But if you cultivate a healthy poverty and simplicity, so that finding a penny will literally make your day, then, since the world is in fact planted in pennies, you have with your poverty bought a lifetime of days. It is that simple. What you see is what you get.
May we all recognize the many pennies in our lives. The farm is rich with them these days.

In her 2007 Book, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, (free library), Stanford Researcher Carol Dweck shares the following research conclusions:
1. People have either a fixed mindset or a growth mindset:
People with a fixed mindset believe intelligence, ability and personality are unchanging, deep-seated traits.
Whereas people with a growth mindset believe these traits can be developed over time with effort.
2. The two mindsets are conditioned -- and self-fulfilling prophesies:
It's important to know that mindsets are conditioned. Up until you learn about these mindsets, you haven't chosen one over the other -- it has been ingrained in you by the messages you receive from others.
Dweck explains in her TED Talk,
"Every word and action can send a message. It tells children — or students, or athletes — how to think about themselves. It can be a fixed-mindset message that says: You have permanent traits and I'm judging them. Or it can be a growth-mindset message that says: You are a developing person and I am interested in your development."
Dweck also shows through her research on student learning that in effect, these mindsets become self-fulfilling prophesies. In essence, people with the growth mindset really do… grow.
Whether observing pre-med college students or fifth graders, Dweck observed that students with the fixed mindset showed greatest concern over looking smart, and were more likely to seek out easier tasks that affirmed their smarts and to give up when learning got hard -- hence preventing them from achieving at higher levels.
In contrast, students who believed in their ability to get smarter with effort were more likely to take on, enjoy and master challenging tasks, even if they had experienced failure -- thereby enabling greater achievement.
3. The good news: it doesn't matter which mindset you embody today, because you can grow into a growth mindset person:
Dweck writes,
"Just by knowing about the two mindsets, [people] can start thinking and reacting in new ways… [Instead of] passing up a chance for learning, feeling labeled by a failure, or getting discouraged when something requires a lot of effort... they switch themselves into the growth mindset — making sure they take the challenge, learn from the failure, or continue their effort."
For example, one of Dweck's studies involved observing the math scores of a 7th grade class. Half of the students were taught about the growth mindset and the other half was taught about the states of memory. Remarkably, the control group's grades decreased overall, whereas the growth-mindset group's grades improved on the next test.
The research shows that "with practice, neural networks grow new connections, strengthen existing ones, and build insulation that speeds transmission of impulses." In other words, every time you learn you also improve your ability to learn.
How we can start acting on this knowledge today:
With the above in mind, there are a number of small but significant ways to act on this knowledge and improve opportunities to learn and grow for yourself, your employees, your kids, your spouse, and just about anyone else you share this earth with.
1. We can change the way we talk:
When we refer to someone as smart, gifted, bright or perfect, we reinforce fixed mindset and diminish potential.
When we talk about others as stupid, incompetent, or not the brightest crayon in the box, we reinforce fixed mindset and diminish potential.
When we praise others for their scores, outputs, intelligence or talent, we reinforce fixed mindset and diminish potential.
We have the ability to control our language, and to remember to focus on the growth-mindset message that says "You are a developing person and I am interested in your development."
We do this by simply shifting our conversations to focus on growth-oriented abilities like effort, strategy, focus, perseverance, and improvement.
2. We can observe and modify our response to learning, effort, and challenge:
Again, it's within our control to shift from the fixed to growth mindset. If you've found yourself shying away from challenges, getting defensive when you receive feedback, or resenting the success of others, that's okay -- but it's time to exercise your growth muscles and recognize you have the power to lean in and benefit from a change in response.
3. We can get specific about where we want to dedicate our learning energy:
Growth mindset isn't about making you do everything. It's about helping you see that you can become significantly better at just about anything you put your whole self into. And you can't put your whole self into everything, you don't physically have time.
Take a few moments to reflect on what your top priorities are today and what that you deeply care about it missing from that list. Slash the non-importants. And then start leaning in.
4. We can espouse the most powerful examples that this. thing. works:
Dweck offers countless examples of the power and improved results of the growth mindset, from abilities like drawing and fitness to math, leadership and parenting.
Like Wilma Rudolph, an Olympic runner who won three gold medals in the 1960 Rome Olympics. When Wilma was four, she almost died of pneumonia, scarlet fever, and polio -- and survived with a mostly paralyzed left leg. Despite doctors' assumptions that she would never walk again, Wilma dedicated herself to physical therapy, kicked using her leg brace when she was 12, started walking normally and then trained to become a professional runner.
When others challenge the growth mindset or pull you down the rabbit hole of "I'll never be Picasso," help shift the conversation to the reality that there are tremendous examples of effort leading to significant improvement and sometimes mastery -- show people it's more productive and empowering to focus on the inspiring stuff that gets us moving.
5. We can keep each other in check:
There's much we can do on our own to change the way we lean into learning, challenges and development. But imagine the impact of this change taking place not just within us, but within those we work with, live with.
Dweck's research shows us that just knowing about the two mindsets initiates change from within. Share it, discuss it, prove it in your own actions and support it in others'. I think no matter our mindset or response to Dweck's research, we can all see the tremendous potential value.

On July 14, 2007, 16-year-old Eric Jones went to the city of Springfield's public beach with his brother and cousins. The public beach is located on Lake Springfield. Eric did not know how to swim. He was in the water at least chest-deep when he disappeared beneath the surface. His relatives, brother and cousins did not report him missing for an unknown number of minutes. The nearest lifeguard had not noticed Eric's disappearance.
As soon as the lifeguards were notified, they began searching the lake for Eric. It took several minutes to find him in the opaque water. They were unable to resuscitate him.
Eric was survived by his mother and brother. The family filed a lawsuit arguing that the city lifeguards violated the city's internal guidelines regarding where the lifeguards would be located, chose not to immediately form a line search in the area where Eric was last seen, and were guilty of willful and wanton misconduct for those failures. It was alleged in conclusion that the city's actions or inactions were the cause of Eric's drowning death.

The World's Best Stargazing Spots
Looking for an incredible travel destination? Maybe you should look up to get inspired and take a trip to some of the world's best places for stargazing. There' s nothing more awe-inspiring than seeing the universe unfold before your eyes. Unfortunately, it's not something most of us have the opportunity to see every day. In cities, we're lucky if we can see 500 stars at night. A park or other remote location – especially one that's made dark skies a priority – can show up to 15,000 stars. Take a look at some of the very best below.
1. Natural Bridges National Monument, Utah
Star-gazers don't even need a telescope to see the Milky Way from this incredible site, seen above. The park is called Natural Bridges because of the strange and beautiful rock formations that were created by a centuries old river. They make for wonderful sights for daytime travelers, and frame the night time star show. This particular park has even made protecting its dark sky a priority so it can be enjoyed for centuries to come.
2. Mauna Kea, Hawaii
Located on top of a 13,000+foot volcano, Mauna Kea's night skies are virtually cloud free. That means that stargazers are almost guaranteed to enjoy incredible views. This makes it a hot spot for both professional astronomers and amateur enthusiasts alike.
3. Wiruna, New South Wales, Australia
This remote location is such a great place to watch the stars that each year, it hosts a "South Pacific Star Party" where hundreds of campers gather to watch the skies. This 100 acre plot is nearly as beautiful in the daytime, situated in the center of the eucalyptus woodlands.
4. Hotel Elqui Domos, Chile
This is no ordinary hotel. This astronomic hotel has been specifically designed for stargazing tourists. These domelike hotel rooms – which are much more luxurious than they look from the outside – all have a detachable roof above the bed, and massive patio for evening relaxation and stargazing. It's perfect for the star enthusiast who doesn't like to "rough it". They even have night time horse rides! For rates, reservations, and more gorgeous photos of the astronomic hotel, visit airbnb.com.

We changed plans a few times in Europe, both based on budget and time. Prague is a city that I really wanted to see and luckily enough an old friend of ours lived in the centre and invited us to spend some time with him.
We ended up taking a day train from Budapest and as luck would have it, we ticked off another of our bucket list, fine dinning on the train. It was really a surprise to find a restaurant of that standard on a train. Straight out of a movie, with massive glass windows for maximum viewing, fine cut glass and very cheap A-grade food. It's one of those moments when you sit back and don't have to say anything.
We arrived in Prague to be met by Kuba, our friend who showed us to our Air Bnb Accommodation. Air BnB is always a bit of a lottery. Overall its been a bit of a disappointment, as a lot of the time the accommodation is not like the pictures and can be quite dirty. Luckily, we hit the lottery this time, as the apartment had a great view of daily life, was next to Prague centre and was exceptionally clean.
Meeting a friend who is native to a city is always the best. We've really enjoyed meeting travellers, but having that local knowledge of where to eat, what to see and just generally how to fit in quicker makes a city so much better.
Luckily, Kuba, who lived a minutes walk from where we were was able to spend a lot of time with us and the kids really liked him, after having met him in SA when we were working together.
Kuba made our Prague visit, introducing us to the most fantastic local restaurants and showing me some of the less touristy spots on a great Saturday walk around the harbor. We were also spoilt with a braai in a locals mystical garden…
Although the kids really liked Prague, they are kids after all and really missed some child friendly things to do. As fate would have it, our overnight bus to Switzerland was fully booked, so we decided to make the 1000 km journey into a road trip and hire a car for a week, returning it to the airport in Switzerland.
Lee-Anne, whom I met in Japan when she was teaching and one of Ronelle's best friends from University, was now living in Neu Ulm, Germany, which happened to be on our way to Switzerland, so we decided to camp out at her place for a few night's and catch up again.
We also surprised Kai, who is the biggest Lego fan, by taking him to LegoLand, an incredible little town completely made out of Lego. He had trouble breathing for the first 5 minutes of our Legoland visit and was running around like a mad man, not really being able to comprehend the amounts of Lego that were around him. He also got to meet his "hero" Darth Vader..
Needless to say, the kids got their fix and before we knew it, we were kissing Lee-Ann goodbye and were on the road again, this time to visit the ex CEO of Tourism Radio, in a little town called Biehl. Once again, it was great to catch up with Jacques, Regula and their beautiful kids, Jill, Raul and Freddy the dog.
Watch out for Jill, she won the mixed doubles Junior Olympics and is well on her way to winning Wimbledon. I'm looking forward to sitting in the members enclosure "golf clapping" when she holds the gold trophy. She has promised to mention me in her speech.
Our last few days in Switzerland were spent at a friends flat, relaxing and planning our US adventure and as usual, with a blink of an eye, we were on a plane eating chicken or beef winging our way to New York…

If you're contemplating opening an online business, don't make the mistake of trying to sell something that you think will be popular. You can sell whatever you like online. Think instead about what you want to sell and how to go about marketing it.

Wouldn't you rather have a business that made you money and that you enjoyed instead of a business that made money but you didn't enjoy? You have to bear in mind that you will be doing this for a long time. If you go about your internet marketing strategy the right way, you can make just as much money from selling cake decorating books as you can from marketing any other product.

There are plenty of products out there that have made people fortunes in the past. You may be tempted to try to copy their success and join a successful affiliate program. Don't forget, though, that thousands of others are doing exactly the same thing. That means you're going to be up against stiff competition in order to carve out a niche for yourself.

If you like decorating cakes, however, you're going to have far less competition. You can join a book publisher's affiliate site and sell their books about decorating cakes. Better yet, you can write your own and all the profits will go to you. You can self-publish the print edition of the book and offer it as an eBook. In your book, you can give step-by-step instructions on how to decorate cake. There are millions of people who would love that information and be willing to pay for it.

The next step is to make your website stand out from the rest. Make it something that people will want to stay at and browse. Make it inspiring, so that your visitors will think, 'I want to learn how to do that.' Offer a free newsletter that includes cake decorating tips and other interesting news. Don't give them too many tips in your newsletter, though. The idea is to pique their interest and get them to buy your book, not to give it all away in your newsletters.

You will be surprised by how much you can expand your site and draw more customers. For example, once you have established a reputation, you can make arrangements with large bakeries in major cities and get commissions on referrals. You may even want to start a new website devoted to wedding cakes.

Cakes may not be your thing. The idea here is not to talk you into selling cakes, it is to prove that you can sell whatever you like online. Focus first on the things you want most to sell. Then focus on your internet marketing strategy. Good luck!
