The Duggars are a family known for their traditional values, their Christian faith, and their love for both their community and one another. Although most of us kinda have an idea about what to expect from this beloved clan, there are times when they surprise us -- like when they bring up (or hint about) sex, for example. It definitely catches plenty of people off guard, to say the least.
Given the number of marriages, siblings, and babies popping up left and right, it's pretty safe to say -- or assume -- that (married) members of the Duggar family, such as Jinger Duggar and Josiah Duggar, are enjoying a healthy sex life. We mean, just because they can't even hug before marriage, that doesn't mean they don't enjoy it (and much more) after they tie the knot.
Here's a look at some of the times the Duggars got real about all things sex that prove they aren't as tightly wound as people assume. Some of these may confuse you, and others will make you laugh.
And they definitely might make you look at the fam a little differently!
Michelle Duggar's Marriage Advice1
Michelle Duggar turned heads with her marital advice blog post she wrote back in 2015 that people are still talking about. Encouraging newlyweds to "be available," mama Duggar did not mince words when it came to the importance of physically satisfying your mate. "You've got to remember this. Anyone can iron Jim Bob's shirt, anybody can make lunch for him," Michelle wrote. "He can get his lunch somewhere else. But you are the only one who can meet that special need that he has in his life for intimacy. You're it."
Jeremy Vuolo Revealing the Most Exciting Part About Marriage2
Tell us how you really feel! Jinger's husband Jeremy Vuolo joked about the most exciting part about marriage during the February 27 episode of Counting On. "I'll tell you what I'm excited about most in marriage," Jeremy said, laughing. Yeah, we get it, Jeremy -- even though he didn't quite have to say it in those words to accurately get his feelings across. At least he's honest?
Amy Duggar's Premarital Sex3
"I think that if I was a virgin on my wedding night and had never been kissed, I would end up rocking in the corner! That is so much emotion all at once," Amy Duggar once admitted to People. Even though Amy Duggar discussed having premarital sex in the past, the Duggar cousin notes she and hubby Dillon King decided to establish boundaries regarding their physical relationship before they got married.
Kissing & Guy Advice From Papa Duggar4
Leave it to Jim Bob Duggar to give love and marital advice to his daughters. Before Jessa married Ben, Jim Bob gave the soon-to-be newlyweds a few tips on how to kiss. "Let me show y'all the best way to kiss here," Jim Bob said to the couple on a past episode of 19 Kids and Counting before getting wife Michelle to help demonstrate.
Talk about a hands-on approach!
Pops also informed the couple about the realities of being married -- specifically, how important lovemaking often is to husbands. "Both of you will like the physical relationship, but for the guy it will be kind of like the main focus," Jim Bob said during the episode. It's kinda true.
The Duggar 'Code Word' for Sexual Thoughts5
It's no secret that the Duggar family prides themselves on trying to stay as pure as possible -- which is one of the reasons why we're not surprised to hear about the Duggar boys having a code word for impure thoughts. Redbook magazine once revealed that in the family's advice book Growing Up Duggar, a few of the Duggar sisters mentioned "Nike" was the code word the Duggar guys used when coming across a woman who might cause lust.
"That's [Nike] a signal to the boys, and even to Dad, that they should nonchalantly drop their eyes and look down at their shoes as we walk past her," the Duggar daughters wrote.
Jessa Duggar Opening Up About Life as a Married Woman6
Months after she said "I do" to Ben Seewald, Jessa (Duggar) Seewald joked about her married life -- possibly making a sex joke in the process. "I think we're past the side hugs," she reportedly admitted to Us Weekly about her sex life. "We're definitely in love, and well on our way in this newlywed life." Nothing wrong with that, and of course it was good to hear that things were going well from them, even from the beginning.
Derick Dillard's Unexpected Response to Pregnancy Question7
Straightforward questions get straightforward answers! Derick Dillard had no problem answering a pregnancy question on Twitter months before we found out Jill (Duggar) Dillard was expecting baby number two. Even though there's nothing controversial about Derick's "not yet" answer, you kinda have to look at the elephant in the room -- the one who's yelling "They're having sex!" in order to make having another baby possible.
Pregnancy Tests for Everyone!8
We aren't experts, but something tells us that someone must be having lots of sex if they're stocking up on pregnancy tests. In 2014, Jill (Duggar) Dillard revealed mom Michelle keeps a stash of pregnancy tests at home, which, ironically, has ended up working in her favor. After getting two negative responses to pregnancy tests, Jill followed her sister Jinger (Duggar) Vuolo's recommendation that Jill try a test from their mom's stash -- that ended up being the one to reveal Jill was pregnant with Israel!
Jeremy Deals With Temptation9
Even after getting married, people are still human, and temptation can definitely hit. Not only did Jeremy admit to facing that himself in his marriage to Jinger, but he also shared how they combat it, too.
"I, very early on, from the moment we were married, I wanted Jinger to be in with me on the battle for purity," he said when the couple visited Audrey and Jeremy Roloff's podcast. "It's a difficult conversation at times to have, to be able to say, Hey, I'm being hit with some temptation, or I'm just struggling this morning with this or that, can you pray for me? And it's amazing to bring her in on that."
Derick Shares His Sex & Relationship Tips10
In a blog post on the Dillard family website, Derick didn't hold back when it came to sharing his tips for keeping things hot in the bedroom. In his blog post, he told men to be "joyfully available" to their wives whenever they may need them.
"Let your spouse know that you're always available. Guard against fulfilling sexual desires alone. Be open with your spouse about your desires and change things up to keep it exciting!" he wrote.
Amy Duggar on Keeping the Flame Alive11
While Amy and Dillon were still trying to conceive their son, Daxton, Amy was open about how she kept things interesting between the sheets so that fire between them would stay alive. In an interview with People in 2018, she said they have sex all the time, and like to "keep it wild."
"He does like candlelight," Amy said. "I have a built-in masseuse as a husband. He's incredible."
Derick & Jill's Birth Control Use12
Given that birth control is a big no-no in the Duggar fam, we were surprised to find out that Jill may actually be using contraceptives ... and Derick didn't shoot down that rumor when fans asked him straight up about it on Instagram.
"We never said we don't believe in birth control," he wrote in a comment, adding that he believes it's up to each family to decide what might be best for them.
Jill Supporting 'Bedroom Games'13
Last year, Jill continued to open up her sex life by promoting Dating Divas, a monthly service that supplies couples with "bedroom games" and sexy activities that could help liven things up in their relationships. Given how tight-lipped the Duggars tend to be about sex, this definitely threw a lot of fans for a loop, and it seems like Jill was admitting that she and Derick actually use the service themselves.
Jill's Anniversary Activities14
To celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary, Jill and Derick had a quick getaway to Branson, Missouri, and Jill even shared some of the activities they were partaking in in their hotel room. This included a cleaned-up version of the Kama Sutra, as well as proof that they had been playing a bedroom-themed game of Minute to Win It. This was TMI for a lot of fans, but it shows they're committed to keeping things interesting.
Speaking of Jill being real about sex, she shared it all in a blog post she wrote last year about having a healthy marriage. In the post, she advised that married couples should be having sex at least three to four times a week and that couples should be staying intimate in other ways if a medical situation kept them from fulfilling that kind of commitment in the bedroom. She really wasn't holding anything back!

Technically, the Bike Tours in Haiku is not set in Haiku. The tours listed here leave Haiku but mostly takes place in Haleakala. Haleakala is a great place for biking. The way up will certainly knock off a few pounds from your weight but the bike tours will take you straight to the top. Cruising down the Haleakala mountain is a very memorable experience. Seeing all the greenery pass by and feeling the wind in your face, you will certainly understand why guests keep coming back to Maui.
There are two kinds of Bike Tours available in Haiku. There are Sunrise bike tours and the Day Bike ones. Both of them will take you to the top of Haleakala in vans and they will allow you to cruise down the slope of the mountain. The Sunrise Bike tours will leave early in the morning around 2 hours before the estimated sunrise on that day. You will ride a van going up Haleakala and will be dropped off at the top. You will be able to see the beautiful and world-famous sunrise at the Haleakala Park. After this, you can take in the sites and cruise down on your bikes. The Day tours will take you there after the sunrise. You can still check out the sites in Haleakala and marvel at the impressive cinder cones and the huge crater. Then, cruise down the slope.
These tours do not have guides and you can go at your own pace. You can stop and get off the road to take pictures or just relax for a moment. Always remember to exercise caution when doing this type of activity. Always be careful in turns and always give the right of way for cars going down or up the road.
Here is a list of the different options for Bike Tours in Haiku.

Dustin Johnson is the world number one golfer with an impressive track record of title wins and what looks like a pretty good love story going on in his personal life. Take a look down below at the life of the golfer who has 5 World Golf Championships and 17 PGA tour wins to his name as well as having emerged the winner of the 2016 U.S. Open held at Oakmont Country Club.
He was born on June 22, 1984, in Columbia, South Carolina, U.S.A. His pursuit of a higher education later in life led him to the Coastal Carolina University, while there he joined the golf team and began recording wins in 2007 at the Monroe Invitational and the Northeast Amateur games. He would go on to launch a career in the professional league riding on his wins in 2007 and by 2008, he began his PGA tour.
Right off the bat in his professional career, he won the Turning Stone Resort Championship and the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. The 2009 golf season met him at number 15 on the PGA Tour money list. His career continued to progress and as mentioned earlier he won 17 PGA tours, 5 World Golf Championships and emerged as the winner of the 2016 U.S. Open. Since he has also earned 5 wins between 2008 and 2015, he is also considered one of the top drivers on the PGA Tour. After he won the Sentry Tournament of Champions in 2018, he became the third player on the PGA tour history. Dustin also stands alongside legendary golfers like Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods as one of the only golfers to land a tour title in every season for his 11 seasons.

Dustin Johnson is probably one of the highest earning golf players in the world. His net worth has been placed in the park of $24 million, not surprising since he partners/ endorses high-end like Body Armor, Hublot and Adidas.
Who Is Dustin Johnson's Wife, Paulina Gretzky?
Dustin Johnson is not married but he has been in a long time relationship that has resulted in an engagement. The lucky woman is Paulina Gretzky, a model and pop singer. The two met, weirdly enough, through Gretzky's mother and the entire Gretzky family can be said to be as invested in their relationship as the two lovebirds themselves. It was in 2009 that Dustin Johnson met Janet Gretzky, Paulina's mother and the wife of the legendary hockey player Wayne Gretzky. After the two met at the Hero World Challenge golf tournament, Janet invited Johnson over for dinner.
At the time, however, Dustin Johnson and Paulina Gretzky had been in their own relationships so, despite an immediate click, they could only explore friendship. Johnson in fact became a friend of the family. It took three whole years for any relationship fires to be lit after the two met up at the World Challenge and then went for their first date. The Gretzky parents went along with them and their relationship blossomed from then on with Gretzky becoming a regular at Johnson's tournaments.
A relationship which began in January 2013 resulted in engagement by August 2013. The couple has given hectic schedules as the reason behind the delay in wedding announcements. They have, however, now welcomed two children; Tatum Gretzky Johnson on January 20, 2015, and River Jones Johnson on June 12, 2017.
Affairs And Relationships
Despite being in a seemingly happy relationship with fiance Paulina Gretzky, Dustin Johnson has been linked to some women who it has been suggested that he has had affairs with whilst still being engaged to Paulina. One of such women is Alli Mackenzie, the wife of Will MacKenzie who is also a member of the pro golf tour. The two were implicated based on a sighting in South Florida where they were said to be shopping while displaying loving gestures. Alli Mackenzie has denied any claims of an affair, suggesting that nothing more than friendship is between the both of them and that she wishes the couple and their kids a happy home.
Dustin Johnson and Paulina Gretzky have also denied the existence of any affairs insisting that they have a loving relationship with no plans to cheat or break up. Dustin Johnson also told Sports Illustrated in 2015 that he had really grown and wanted to be a role model for his sons.

All organisations regardless of size or sector need to be compliant; this may appear daunting but in fact with a clear action plan and thorough audit, Guildford HR can support you with compliance. Compliance is important to avoid heavy fines, but more importantly to protect your business reputation. You can find out more here.
All employers are legally required to give their employees what is known as a "statement of main terms".
If these are not given to the employee within 2 months of their start date, the employee could make a claim for compensation.
These do not need to be complicated but there are certain terms that must be included. We recommend these are issued with the job offer letter.
You do not need to legally supply a handbook; however, we recommend you supply a simple summary of how you want your new employee to represent your business. It is also a really useful place to discuss how the business operates, health and safety topics, as well as any general HR policies and procedures.
The document can be a traditional staff handbook, but it does not need to be formal or really detailed. We can tailor a document to your business and it could be framed as a welcome pack for the new employee.
All pregnant employees are entitled to a maximum of 52 weeks' maternity leave.
An employer must not allow an employee to work during the immediate period of 2 weeks after the birth; if the employee works in a factory this is then 4 weeks. This is called Compulsory Maternity Leave.
All women are entitled to Ordinary Maternity Leave regardless of their length of service or hours of work. This is for a maximum of 26 weeks, and includes the Compulsory Maternity Leave.
Ordinary Maternity Leave can start from the 11th week before the expected week of childbirth.
When your employee is on maternity leave they are entitled to the same terms and conditions of employment that they would have had if they were not on maternity leave.
In terms of pay the employer has to pay statutory maternity pay, the amount of which changes every April. Refer to https://www.gov.uk/maternity-paternity-calculator. If you prefer we can also tell you we will just need some basic facts on the employee's current pay, hours and length of service.
Fathers (husband/partner/civil partner) are entitled to take a single period of 2 weeks paternity leave. This starts on the date the baby is born, provided that the employee has 26 weeks service by the end of the 15th week, before the child is born.
Adoption leave is available to all employees regardless of length of service.
The earliest date that adoption leave can begin is 14 days before the expected date of the placement of the child. It cannot be taken by someone who is adopting a step child.
It is important that an employer understands that all of the employee's terms and conditions of employment are protected during this period. Please ring us for more information.
This is a complex area so we recommend that you contact us with the particular request you have received and we will talk you through what this may mean to your business, and what your legal obligations are. As with all people discussions we advise you to deal with this quickly, but do talk to us first before you discuss with your employee.
As a small business you will know your employees well, but also you need to protect your business for the future, this is a complex area and we strongly recommend you get professional advice. This can be supplied as a simple guide, or we can support you and manage the entire process including communications with your employees.
We would need to understand the circumstances better, so please call us so we can take you step by step through what you need to consider.
Sickness absence is a major frustration to a small business, but it is important that you consider all the facts before you look at dismissal. Please supply us with the background, and we will give you guidance, alternatively we can have a conversation with your employee for you.
It is very sensible for you to check the calculation as it will be dependent on the contract of employment, public holidays and hours worked. We have a simple calculator that we can use with you to make sure this is accurate.
According to the UK Government website "You can be sent to jail for 5 years and pay an unlimited fine if you're found guilty of employing someone who you knew or had 'reasonable cause to believe' didn't have the right to work in the UK".
It is very straightforward to protect you and your business, we can give you guidance over the phone on what checks you need to take to ensure your employees have the right to work in the UK. As a small business this administrative burden can be taken away from you and we can manage this for you. Including follow up in future years to ensure work Visas are up to date.
The government introduced auto enrolment a few years ago, and small businesses are now included, we would need to know your circumstances first before we could give you more information.
This website is also useful:
Health and Safety is a broad topic and covers employees as well as customers. Employees who are home workers also need to be considered.
It is important you have a clear Fire evacuation plan, Health and Safety policies and procedures, supported by regular audits. There are several legal/mandatory requirements too, it does differ dependent upon what type of business you are running; so please give us a call. We work with a National H&S provider, who can complete on site reviews, and can support you if you have an incident with your business.

Stop Wearing Products Chock Full of Chemicals & Embrace Natural Sun Protection
- Our natural sunscreen for babies is effective no matter the weather and heat.
- Say "goodbye" to chemicals and "hello" to effective sun protection with our all-natural sun block.
In the heat of summer, it's nice to be outside and enjoying the weather. Before you head out in the sun, put on Sun Shield, our natural skin protector and non-chemical sunscreen!
What is Sun Shield?
Earthley's Sun Shield is a natural skin protector — not a sunscreen — that helps to keep your skin healthy and safe when you're out and about and in the sunshine.
How Does A Natural Sun Protection Work?
Sun Shield doesn't absorb the rays or reflect them. Instead, it sinks into your skin and helps to prevent damage at the cellular level. We use pure, plant-based oils infused with whole organic herbs that are rich in antioxidants. This formula nourishes your skin, blocks free radicals, and protects your skin from redness, wrinkles, and damage.
Sun Shield is Not a Sunscreen
Sun Shield is not a sunscreen — it's a natural sun cream protectant that provides a completely natural way of safeguarding your skin from sun damage, penetrating deeply for effective protection. Some will prefer to pair this with a mineral-based sunscreen for very hot or sunny days; others find this to be enough on its own.
Safe For the Whole Family
The best part? It's safe for the whole family! No need for separate products for adults, babies, or faces — it can go on the entire body and the face. All ages!
See What Loyal Customers Say!
This product is one of our best-sellers! Our customers have tried this all over the country, including southern states, with very good results. Read the reviews to see what our customers have to say!

Word to the Wise
Tuesday, November 10, 2009 - St. Leo the Great - Pope and Doctor of the Church[Wisdom 2:23 - 3:9 and Luke 17:7-10]
When you have done all you have been commanded, say, 'We are unprofitable servants; we have done what we were obliged to do.'' [Luke]
The question of "recognition" arises once more in this passage from the Gospel of Luke. It appears that those who were serving as disciples "out in the field" were coming home and expecting everyone to give them special treatment for doing the very thing that faith required them (the missionaries) to do. Jesus warns against such expectations! I live in a small community that is dedicated to itinerant preaching. Although they are good about warm "send offs" and "welcome backs" they do expect me to pick up with my share of the chores when I return! I am reminded of the old joke about the Professor of Homiletics in a seminary who warns the seminarians, "When it comes to praise for your Sunday preaching, let it be like water off a duck's back! But the duck loves it!" Jesus warns disciples earlier in the Gospel of Luke not to get all worked up because "the demons are subject to you." Any disciple or preacher who expects lavish praise and thanks for ordinary Christian acts or for every homily is wrongly and unrealistically motivated. Sometimes all one gets is stony silence! When we go beyond "the call of duty," we may be recognized for it, but we should then take our regular place and keep doing what we are "obliged to do." AMEN

Hello darlings!
December is here and everything's perfect, all that's missing is some snow. It's really sunny and kind of warm here in Gorizia, and I don't think it's going to be snowing any time soon.. I hope I'll be able to make a Christmas escape to a cabin on a mountain with lots of snow - if you have any suggestions the comment box below is waiting for you (:
So last week I met some guys from Oslo, Norway, who came here for a workshop at my university. When we talked about what we do of course I also mentioned my blog and I wouldn't be me if I haven't asked the tall handsome guy if I could shoot some outfits with him. I was so happy that he was up for it and the photos turned out so good, I will probably post some more of his outfits! So here's what we're wearing:

This is an mechanically up to date checklist of news merchandise and articles referring to RIPE NCC and NRO involvement in Internet governance. Our firms continue to be attractive investments for third occasion capital, as demonstrated by the current investments of Axa, Goldman Sachs and Orange into Africa Internet Group at the start of 2016. The Guardian and different mainstream media retailers have added blogs to their sites. For the primary time, Rocket Internet SE reported full year IFRS 2015 consolidated outcomes. Consumer advocacy group Choice is demanding customers be allowed to interrupt their mounted contracts if they've been affected by Telstra's multiple phone and internet community outages.

Also, with the ever-rising reputation of online media, veteran publications like the U.S. News & World Report are abandoning print and going surfing-solely.

Washington Internet Daily is an indispensable source of information relating to public coverage and IT, specifically close to its emphasis on info safety issues.

Munster Paintless Dent Repair Services
Serving those in the city of Munster for more than a decade and a half, our experienced paintless dent repair specialists at Dent Dimensions Inc. know how to quickly and effectively fix your car's dented hood or side panel. Our dent repair services can almost always be completed within the hour, and we are able to travel to your location when traveling to ours isn't possible or convenient.
If your car is dented and you want a fix from a service professional whom you can trust, contact us today for free information and a fast assessment.
How It Works
When a car's paneling is dented, the most traditional way to fix it is to sand over or fill the dent, and then paint the affected area and hope that the paint-over isn't too obvious; if it is, the entire panel, or even the entire car, may need to be redone.
Paintless dent repair, on the other hand, does not use any fillers, sanders, paint, or chemicals to get the job done. Instead, our service professionals locate the area of the dent, and then gently massage the dent from the inside out using specialized tools. This allows us to complete the task quickly, affordably, and in a manner that is safe for both our technicians and the environment.
Can Paintless Dent Repair Fix All Dents?
Paintless dent repair can be used for any nearly all small dents where the paint has not been damaged. If the metal has been stretched or the paint has been extensively damaged, paintless dent repair may not be effective. It's not just about the dent's size; many large dents that are shallow can be corrected using paintless dent repair. Check out some of our before and after pictures!
Why You Should Work with Dent Dimensions Inc.
Working with Dent Dimensions Inc. is the smart choice when dealing with a dent in your vehicle. We guarantee our work, and prioritize customer satisfaction. At Dent Dimensions Inc.:
- All of our service technicians are paintless dent repair certified, and we only hire the best in the business.

- We know cars. From growing up with a father who was in the auto body industry for over 30 years, to 17 years working as a paintless dent technician, our owner knows what he's doing.

Arab-American candidates score big
WASHINGTON - Thirty-seven of the 57 Arab Americans, including candidates for the US Congress, state governor, mayoral offices and state legislatures on ballots across the United States, were victorious in the US midterm elections November 6.
Two Muslim-American women will serve for the first time in Congress: Palestinian-American Rashida Tlaib from Michigan and Somali-American Ilhan Omar from Minnesota.
Tlaib is the daughter of Palestinian immigrants and Omar moved to the United States 20 years ago as a refugee. Another Michigan Arab American, Justin Amash, also won a seat in Congress. Michigan, especially the greater Detroit area, has one of the largest populations of Arab Americans in the United States. Twenty-one Arab Americans ran for office in Michigan and 14 were elected to offices ranging from state legislature to city councils and school boards.
Eight Arab Americans were elected to Congress, including Donna Shalala in Florida. Shalala, of Lebanese descent, served in the cabinet of former President Bill Clinton and was president of the University of Miami. It was her first run for political office — at age 77. Two Arab Americans won congressional seats in Louisiana, which has only six seats in the US House of Representatives.
In addition to the eight victors, three Arab Americans lost elections for a seat in Congress. Among them was Democratic candidate
Ammar Campa-Najjar, a 29-year-old Palestinian American in California whose opponent, incumbent Republican Representative Duncan Hunter, ran a campaign filled with personal attacks and ethnic slurs.
Among other things, Hunter claimed that Campa-Najjar's election would be a victory for terrorists and reminded voters that Campa-Najjar's grandfather participated in the Palestine Liberation Organisation's attack on Israeli athletes in Munich during the 1972 Olympic Games. Campa-Najjar never met his grandfather, who was killed by Israeli commandos, and was raised a Catholic by his Mexican-American mother. He worked in the Obama White House in a job that required a security clearance.
In New Hampshire, Republican Chris Sununu was elected governor. Sununu, a Palestinian American, is the son of John Sununu, a former top aide in the George H.W. Bush administration who also served as governor of New Hampshire.
Of the 37 victorious Arab-American candidates, 29 won seats at the state, county or municipal levels. This bodes well for future Arab-American political successes because these political jobs are often stepping stones to higher political office.
With the exception of Campa-Najjar, none of the Arab-American candidates faced overt bigotry from their opponents, although more subtle forms of prejudice against Americans of Arab descent — and especially Muslims — remained. A number of far-right and white supremacist publications and websites such as JihadWatch warned of the "dangers" of electing Muslim candidates. JihadWatch noted that Tlaib was "draped in a Palestinian flag" at her victory celebration after winning the Democratic primary in August.
Arab-American candidates mostly focused on domestic issues in their campaigns. Tlaib, for example, advocated for a higher federal minimum wage, expanded health coverage and higher taxes on the very wealthy. However, the progressive Jewish lobby group J Street withdrew its endorsement of her after she expressed support for a one-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. J Street advocates for a two-state solution.
In her victory speech, Tlaib said: "I want you to know my mom, who is from a small village in the West Bank, they're literally glued to the TV — my grandmother, my aunts, my uncles in Palestine — are sitting by and watching their granddaughter."
She said her victory "shows a lot of Muslim Americans that even with Trump in the White House and the Supreme Court telling us the Muslim ban is legal, our voices are powerful and remind people that we belong in this country like everyone else."

John 12:1-7, here we find that what Mary did had an effect on the whole house. That would make an interesting study: things which affected the whole house. The words, the attitude, the spirit of one person in the house can affect the whole house. A soft answer when there is wrath or strife, or on the other hand, the wrong words, harsh words, etc.
There are things that affect the atmosphere of the house. Many things that are done affect the house. It is necessary to teach the children the importance of the things of God, of denying oneself, of keeping first things first, etc. But does the savour of the home back up the teachings of the home? Children are very quick to detect this, even if they can't define it. It's the savour that affects people and that remains with us.
There was one who criticized Mary here. She didn't open her mouth, but One did. We're glad she kept quiet and gave Jesus an opportunity to speak. We're glad for what He said here, speaking about his death and burial, etc. Mary understood more than the disciples at that time. She did this to encourage Him to die. She understood that He would have to die in order for all the promises to be fulfilled. We owe a great debt to people like Mary.
We can do the same thing today by the savour from our life and sacrifice. We can encourage others to make the most of Christ's sacrifice and to sacrifice their own will. We could also discourage people in this. Hopefully our life speaks volumes to encourage others to deny themselves. We expect the old to give that message but it's good when young people also do it through their manner of life, their behaviour, their dress, etc.
Jesus came to spend and be spent and to minister to others - He didn't come to be blessed. This was a rare day for Him when He received a blessing from another person. He came to bless us. Judas criticized. We tend to criticize when our own conscience is pricked. It is good to be inspired when others do the right thing rather than to criticize because our conscience is pricked. Everyone would have left that gathering that day with the odour of the ointment clinging to their clothes. But two were especially affected. Jesus would have carried the odour a long time because it was poured on Him, and it was very potent and concentrated. But, Mary also. Her hands and her hair would have been impregnated with the ointment. When we sacrifice, we bear signs of the sacrifice to the honour of God's kingdom. She wiped his feet with her hair.
We read in I Corinthians 11 that long hair is a woman's glory. She took her glory to the feet of Jesus and wiped His feet with it. There are certain things we glory in, abilities or attributes, etc. Look for ways to use them to glorify Jesus Christ. She herself went out blessed, also.

Dog Faced Soldiers Deserve Our Thanks
A hearty welcome home to the members of the 3rd ID from Ft. Stewart GA. This group of soldiers were part of the Surge and have completed their 15-month tour of duty in Iraq. And boy did they make a difference! Here's some of Maj Gen Rick Lynch's comments during the Welcome Home Ceremony on Monday...
"In the course of life, you get a choice between reading history and making history, and by God, we made history over the past 15 months," he said to hundreds of family members and soldiers at Fort Stewart Monday."
You can't go from tyranny to democracy overnight, you don't build up an economy overnight, so it was a struggle. We started at the bottom and worked our way up, 75 percent of my soldiers lived with the population," said Lynch. "Then the turning point started, when the people of Iraq saw that the enemy had been vanquished in that area and the coalition was there to stay, they said, 'how can we help?'
"We had 36,000 concerned citizens. We called them the Sons of Iraq and they secured their area and that happened in September and October and I saw a drastic drop in attacks and casualties. By the time we left, there was a 90 percent reduction in civilian casualties," he continued. "That's because the local people said, 'I'm tired of violence, I'm tired of attacks.'"
Too bad SanFran Nan neglected to mention the accomplishments of the dog-faced soldiers when she was praising Iran for its role in Iraq. I won't be holding my breath waiting for a statement of thanks from any of the Leftoids.
152 heroes gave the ultimate sacrifice during the deployment...
Lynch paused to remember 152 soldiers killed during the deployment and honored the heroes who continued the cause.
"I've changed my definition of what a hero is," said Lynch. "We held memorial services for each soldier killed and I attended 152 services. Someone who knew them would eulogize the soldier and everyone would be crying including the division commander. After the memorial services, we all donned the battle gear and went back out to fight the insurgents. That's the definition of hero to me."
>Despite the 15 month deployment and loss of 152 brothers & sisters, the 3rd ID MET its 2008 recruitment goal in March. Another myth debunked.
Maj Gen Rick Lynch has been nominated for his 3rd Star and reassignment to become commanding general of III Corps at Fort Hood, TX. His candor and leadership will certainly be missed at Ft. Stewart. The picture posted is Maj Gen Rick Lynch being welcomed home by his wife - That picture just made me smile. Photo credit to Steve Carrington of the Savannah Morning News.
There are some members of the 3rd ID still serving in Iraq. The 2nd Brigade Combat Team is set to return stateside in late June, early July. The 4th Brigade's 15-month deployment ends in early 2009.
Thank You Dog-Faced Soldiers! You are our heroes and we are forever in your debt. And to the families, thank you for your sacrifices while your soldier served in Iraq. You have my utmost respect for holding down the homefront.
And while we're on the subject of Iraq, please read Fouad Ajami's piece in today's WSJ. Here's a snip from the piece...
Fair enough. In the narrow sense of command and power, this war in Iraq is Mr. Bush's war. But it is an evasion of responsibility to leave this war at his doorstep. This was a war fought with congressional authorization, with the warrant of popular acceptance, and the sanction of United Nations resolutions which called for Iraq's disarmament. It is the political good fortune (in the world of Democratic Party activists) that Sen. Barack Obama was spared the burden of a vote in the United States Senate to authorize the war. By his telling, he would have us believe that he would have cast a vote against it. But there is no sure way of knowing whether he would have stood up to the wind.
He makes some great points in the article. Too bad that so many are just obsessed with failure to grasp the concept of Ajami's statements.

Well the above text is obviously too small to read, so here's what's happening.
A touring exhibition, curated by Kate Rhodes and Craft Victoria, How You Make It explores artisanal fashion design practices that draw on traditional tailoring techniques to form contemporary collections.
Existing garments are deconstructed: unpicked, reconfigured and reworked, using fine tailoring and conceptual templates in order to create a new style of clothes. These conceptual Australian fashion designers open a dialogue between craft and design that places the focus back on how and why objects are made.
The designers in the exhibition create not only new garment forms and new ways of wearing clothes, they develop new design systems. How You Make It will be accompanied by an exhibition catalogue, to be launched on the opening night.
The exhibition features new works by the following designers:
Simon Cooper, Paula Dunlop, Ess.Laboratory (Hoshika Oshimi and Tatsuyoshi Kawabata), FORMALLYKNOWNAS (Toby Whittington, Anthea van Kopplen, MATERIALBYPRODUCT (Susan Dimasi and Chantal McDonald), Project (Kara Baker and Shelley Lasica) and S!X (Denise Sprynskil and Peter Boyd).
Exhibition open to the public: 6th March - 12th April 2008
Opening night: Friday 14th March, 2008, 6-8 pm
Guest Speaker: Karen Webster, Director, L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival

Four truths in decision making
Decision making is much like gambling. We throw the dice, make the decision and hope that what comes up is a winner.
So, how do we win?
Decisions are made to influence a future situation. They cannot make a situation come true but they can influence it. Good decisions use data and assumptions underpinned by an attitude that befits a gambling mentality. The leaders who make good decisions know that each one is but a minor step in the massive gamble of life and recognise this in their planning. They know that the best they can do is influence an outcome and so put effort into understanding what can go wrong as well as go right. Please note the order of this sentence.
After a bad result I have read or heard more times than I like the statement "I trusted that source and made my decision accordingly", as though this is an acceptable excuse. "Sorry shareholders" I hear, "I trusted that report and expanded into a new area, it was the data not me that was at fault". Really? Who believes that.
Value the watching
Great leaders make a decision then watch. And watch. And watch what happens as the decision takes effect so they can act quickly if needed. Their value comes not from acting too often, but from knowing what to watch. Its not about making the right decision, but about making the decision right.
Great leaders make a decision then watch. And watch. And watch what happens as the decision takes effect so they can act quickly if needed. Their value comes not from acting too often, but from knowing what to watch.
The four truths in decision making
Here are 4 truths that savvy leaders know about planning and decision making:
(1) Data is biased: Relying on data is risky. Publicly available data is prepared for the public and won't fit user needs exactly. Privately collected data is swayed by emotions, politics and a raft of other factors. All data has limits. Reading data without consideration of its limits and relevance is problematic.
A highly recognised authority[1] included a statement in an economics briefing this week that there was "bleak news" because Australian retail sales stalled throughout September 2017. Its reference to retail sales is important: The September Trade Surplus, a different index, doubled against August and was the 11th straight month of positives after 31 months of negatives. Looking at the trade figures things are better than bleak I would say.
The authority then went on to say that "Households are confronting the weakest wages growth in a generation". The day prior a local paper reported[2] wages of a CEO as being 56% more than 5 years ago. I would think he belongs to one of the households referred to earlier. Not for him the lowest wages growth in a generation methinks. Granted he is an anomaly but all of his sector had strong wages growth, especially when the low inflation rate is factored in. Another conflict.
So when a leader reads the authority's data, is it 'bleakness' she should see, or cycles and changes in consumer behaviour? Suffice to say that the leader who reads this as "bleakness" will make different decisions to the leader who reads it as "changes in consumer behaviour". This difference has big ramifications for agility and longevity.
(2) The future is uncertain: No one knows what will happen next. Leaders who understand this have equanimity and a watchfulness that allows rapid response. What happened today and at any point in the future is a result of hundreds to millions of past decisions made by a plethora of people. To expect something to occur as proposed is foolish at best.
The US President Mr Trump has allowed the world to see what happens when a leader says what he is thinking. Mr Trump is a leader who has influence and to whom people listen. Although you may not have the same global impact as he, each decision you make and each dollar you spend also impacts the global situation – albeit not as immediately or as significantly but it impacts none the less.
There are a myriad of decisions made everyday which impact your future and that of your firm. Only some of which you are aware. What you can't see may be more important than what you can. A truth that is often forgotten.
(3) Assumptions are lies: A lie is "Something intended or serving to convey a false impression[3]". Anything attempting to describe a future as certain is a lie that should be treated with appropriate tremor. Yet plans are put into place and adhered to as though life is certain. A fallacy at best. Leaders show their inexperience and disengagement when they adhere to plans. A plan merely starts the journey, opening negotiations, setting priorities and pointing a direction to take. It is the outcome not the plan that is important.
(4) Facts apply in situ: Facts exist in situations long gone that are more faceted than a fly's eye. Will the current situation match the past? Unlikely. Even some medical experiments controlled to the minutest detail fail to replicate. How can you expect to recreate something made logical only in hindsight? Don't agree? Ask your loved one to describe a situation you know well. The answer will differ to your recollection in some shape or form. Now pose the question again, framing it carefully. Likely the answer will be closer to what you remember but whose facts are now seen? You are guiding the response to uncover the facts that you thought important. How will you replicate that?
Successful leaders know that decisions are important, as without them nothing happens. They also know that decisions rarely produce the result desired as they apply to a future yet uncovered using facts that occurred long ago. These leaders thus spend time educating themselves on what is happening in the world, and watching how people act in various situations. They know the decision is the start, not the end of any journey and its results need careful attention.
Great leaders know that it is they and the people round them who create the future, not facts, or assumptions, or indexes and thus put much effort into reflecting on their colleagues, their team, their competitors and their even own behaviour so they can act rightly when needs arise.
So if you desire to be a leader of influence then become a well educated leader: When you next read a statement, statistic or listen to a colleague, test the words written or spoken against your experience, and the experience of others. Read widely and assimilate the information before you put your view forward and then carefully watch the results of your actions unfold.
If you want to build a personal leadership brand that is trusted, be a leader who owns the decisions you make, don't make the mistake of hiding behind data. Everyone knows that it was your job to make the decision work. Own it.
Let me know how you go.

It contained texts for declaiming aloud and was chanted repeatedly by the clergy in the course of their liturgical duties.

Mitsubishi Chemical Media Unveils New Weather-Resistant Card Stock
Tuesday, September 10, 2002
Press release from the issuing companyIdeal for Indoor and Outdoor P-O-P and Posters, New Color Laser Cardstock Can Be Printed with Standard Color Laser Printers and Withstands Environmental Abuse San Francisco, CA (September 9, 2002) -- At the Seybold San Francisco 2002 Conference, Booth #2235, today, Mitsubishi Chemical Media Co., Ltd. and Verbatim Corporation unveiled a new synthetic paper called Color Laser Card (CoLaCa) that is weather and water resistant. Ideal for point-of-purchase, indoor/outdoor poster and similar informational and promotional applications, CoLaCa stock withstands the rigors of wind, rain and sun but can be easily and economically printed using standard color laser printers. Developed to meet the fast turnaround, low-cost production requirements of the grocery, food service and beverage industries, the CoLaCa stock delivers true color printing while withstanding even the most severe environmental conditions. In addition, the new waterproof and UV resistant synthetic paper enables graphic and promotional designers to produce signs, posters and marketing materials that have superior color saturation and clean, crisp illustration reproduction. Mitsubishi's unique new stock was developed using patented coating/lamination formulas and bonding technology. The laminated coating was formulated to thoroughly impregnate and bond with the base paper stock so that it repels the elements including dirt, dust and ultra-violet rays. The sealed card stock remains stiff and unaffected even when it is immersed in liquid. Environmentally Resistant Available with a gloss or coated surface, the crisp white stock does not alter or affect the color graphics or images that were specified by the designer and artist. While delivering faithful reproduction of the artwork, the new synthetic card stock withstands constant exposure to the wind and sun. The CoLaCa stock delivers superior durability and can be written on using ordinary oil-based pens or today's leading color laser printers. The stock can be immersed in water for weeks without losing its body strength. "The new weather-resistant synthetic stock was initially developed to meet the unique requirements of the food, beverage and grocery industries," Jun Ishihara, product manager at Mitsubishi Chemical Media, commented. "However, graphic designers and printers are also finding other creative applications where printed material must withstand rough handling and the environment. It is excellent for posters in schools, government offices and businesses as well as hospitality menus, tent signs and other spot promotion because posters printed on CoLaCa stock don't have to be frequently replaced or displayed in protective covers. If the printed item is soiled or soaked, it can be easily wiped off with a clean cloth. In addition, the synthetic card stock is being used for general-purpose applications such as business cards and identification cards." Sizes, Formats To meet a broad range of promotional and informational card, poster and sign requirements, the CoLaCa stock is available in A3, A4 and B4 sheets as well as B2, B2 half, B6, B6 half, B7 and B8 formats. For business and office applications, the B5 - B8 formatted stock is produced with micro perforation to permit easy separation. Competitively priced, the CoLaCa stock is available through leading paper distributors and office supply outlets across the country. The weather-resistant card stock is part of Verbatim and Mitsubishi Chemical's complete family of imaging and data storage hardware, media and software product family. For samples and the names of local distributors and dealers, contact Verbatim Corporation, 1200 W.T. Harris Boulevard, Charlotte, NC 28262, (800) 421-4188, FAX (704) 547-6609; or visit the company's web site at www.verbatim.com. Or, contact Mitsubishi Chemical Media at www.mcmedia.co.jp.

This lazy weekend I set aside some time to make a new design of this colorful Elephant.
There is something totally therapeutic about cutting and pasting paper and having it evolve into something new. I added it to my Kitschy Mama Spoonflower shop this morning and ordered a swatch as well as one of the owl design I previously made. Since I ordered these designs this week, they should become available for purchase sometime in the next few weeks. I love the idea of these designs not only as fabric but as wallpaper and giftwrap too. The test swatches I made I hope to turn into products I can also feature in my Kitschy Mama Etsy Shop.
Thanks for stopping by and checking out what I've been up to!
Check back soon for exciting things to come!

Bring back the melting pot
Doctrinal multiculturalism furnishes, writes Dalrymple,
- a portion of the intelligentsia with an opportunity to exhibit its virtue and generosity for all the world to see
- cultural bureaucrats with a minor if lucrative source of employment
He points out that understanding another culture
is a Herculean labour.
What chance
is there for people to understand, in any but the most superficial way, the hundreds of extremely diverse cultures from which immigrants come to our shores? To understand Amhara culture in any detail is the work of a lifetime for a highly intelligent person of American or European background who is determined and motivated to do so; for one person to understand Bengali, Somali, Yemeni and Vietnamese cultures as well is impossible.
It follows
that is it for immigrants who do us the honour of coming to our country to understand us, not for us to understand them — which is impossible in any case. It is for them to make the mental, intellectual and cultural adjustments, not us.
In special circumstances,
it is well that certain people should try to learn something of the culture of immigrants. But it is humanity that should demand it, not bureaucratic multiculturalism.
For instance, it was very necessary in Dalrymple's work as a physician in an area with many immigrants that he should understand
the situation of Muslim girls brought up in Britain and forced into unwanted, indeed repellent, marriages to a first cousin in a village in Pakistan.
understanding and sympathy cannot be decreed.
The answer to the problems of the multi-ethnic, multilingual society remains
the melting pot.

Using a variety of analytical platforms, researchers are able to discover novel differentially expressed proteins in serum, urine, BAL fluid, saliva, frozen tissues, formalin-fixed tissues and cell lysates. The MS&P/PSR is part of the Campus Chemical Instrument Center managed by the OSU Office of Research, with significant operational management by the OSUCCC. The MS&P/PSR is located within OSUCCC space in the Biomedical Research Tower. This facility is an interdisciplinary unit that provides researchers with technical expertise and state-of-the-art instrumentation needed to identify proteins, protein modifications, protein interactions and protein biomarkers as well as protein quantitation studies in cancer samples. The MS&P/PSR can identify proteins from solution, 1D and 2D gels using electrophoresis and imaging equipment, robotic sample handlers and (tandem) mass spectrometers.

Executives Have Their Pay Cut; How Do I Feel?
On Thursday, the "Pay czar" of the United States (I didn't even know we had such a thing) decided to slash the salaries of those bank executives from banks that the administration gave bailouts to. These slashes were drastic, and were in response to bonuses that had to be paid out to brokers who, somehow, were a part of helping the Dow Jones break 10,000, and had incentive clauses in their contracts.
Pay czar Kenneth Feinberg reworked contracts for the 25 highest-paid employees at five financial firms and two automakers who were the biggest benefactors of the bailout. He's cutting their compensation 90% for the rest of the year. He did say he wouldn't go backwards and take some of what they've already been paid back. This involves: American International Group; Bank of America; Citigroup; General Motors; Chrysler; GMAC; and Chrysler Financial.
To say that the American public was up in arms is more muted than how people actually reacted. Some folks lost their minds when they heard about the bonuses being paid out. I can't say I blame most of those people. After all, the Dow has gone back and forth since it hit 10,000, and the weekend ended with it under that mark again. Also, it wasn't really these companies that had much to do with the Dow getting to 10,000 either. Citigroup and Bank of America posted big losses. Chrysler did post a profit, but they also sold 20% of their company to Fiat, so that might have helped some. Overall, these companies haven't quite lit the world on fire with the bailout help, and, it seems, the banks might either need some help or, as many believe, should be left to burnout and go away.
How do I feel about cutting salaries? Oddly enough, I have to say that I had mixed feelings, but I don't now. Initially I thought the government was going after everyone at these companies, and I had a problem with that concept. Seeing that it's limited to 25 people total, I don't have those qualms anymore. One of these guys, and I don't remember which one right now, still earned $10 million last year. Another, who had dropped his salary to only $1, still earned $40 million in bonuses and incentives. For a bank that had been bailed out!
That's not criminal, but how could anyone not see that as a problem? I don't have a problem with incentives for employees because that's just how the world works. But for these executives to take that much money after having to be bailed out; that's just a shame. I'm one of those people who never holds it against anyone for making the money that someone is willing to pay them, but in this case I'm making an exception because the bonuses that were earned were false. The salary part, I really don't have as much of an issue with, but lessons have to be taught, right?
One of the Bank of America executives said that cutting these salaries could result in talent leaving these companies for greener pastures, which meant companies that didn't have to accept the bailout. To me, it seems that one of the problems with these companies is that they didn't have any real concept of how to recruit, or at least evaluate, talent in the first place. That's not uncommon, but it's still frightening. If the only "talent" someone has is making money, but they have no discretion, I don't know that I want that kind of talent on my staff. At the same time, I also don't want the kind of talent that feels everything can be fixed by slashing workers and protecting profits above everything else. There has to be a balance after all.
Those are my thoughts; what are yours?

Rare Tea Company
The Rare Tea Company are true connoisseurs, sourcing for quality and bringing some of the world's best tea to London before shipping it to your door.FIND OUT MORE
Because it's Cool:
The Rare Tea Company are revolutionising the way we drink tea. They are true connoisseurs, sourcing for quality and bringing some of the world's best tea to London before shipping it to your door.
They also create exclusive, bespoke blends for chefs that you can same at their restaurants, including the HIX group, Fergus Henderson's St John restaurants and Angela Hartnett's Murano.
Founder Henrietta Lovell says: "Where once we had only had granules we now have fragrant coffee beans. Beside malt vinegar in cupboards across the country there is wine, cider, sherry and aged balsamic. Where there was only vegetable oil the nation has embraced olive, sesame and groundnut… Now it's tea's time."
Because it Matters:
The Rare Tea Company do not just provide rare and exceptionally tasting teas. Their whole approach to business is very unique in the tea industry, which is notoriously exploitative.
Firstly, they source their tea leaves directly from farmers. This means that the farmer – and not some middle man – gets the money for the crop they have cultivated and picked. Plus, farmers are paid significantly above market price, which helps them to live, work and thrive.
Pretty much all their farmers are organic or biodynamic, but hardly any are certified because certification is too expensive for most of them. The Rare Tea Company ask you to trust them on this point.FIND OUT MORE ABOUT RARE TEA CO
