Those Sweet Times
Chapter 48 Part 2
Xiang Nuan was actually quite scared but couldn't stop herself from visiting the forum.
The number one hot post on the forum wasn't about the ghost, rather it was……
[Topic] Is there anyone who was studying in room 702 last night? Hahahaha, I finally got to see the rumored love triangle!
Posted by: Sugar Iron Egg.
Post: [picture] [picture] I was a little far away from them and didn't want to keep turning back to look at them. The pictures are a little blurry. You all just make do, find the highlights yourself.
Many more posts followed.
-- --I was there too. I didn't take pictures. I really wanted to move closer but I didn't have the courage to. Shen Zemu's presence was frightening. TAT
-- --I admire Xiang Nuan's willpower. If I sat in between these two guys, I wouldn't be able to study.
-- --Xiang Nuan already has good looks. Would she fall for someone just because of their looks? Certainly not.
-- --Raise my hand. I found the highlight…...In the beginning, Xiang Nuan was sitting in the middle, later on it's Shen Zemu in the middle. What happened between them?
-- --Has anyone noticed how their clothes changed? Lin Chuyan is wearing Shen Zemu's jacket. The two jackets have the same color, but are different styles. Look carefully.
-- --Damn, damn, you have good eyes. It's true!
-- --They put on the wrong jacket? Don't plots like this only happen in dramas after the characters have gone to bed together? What did those two do? My god, I don't want to think about it……
-- --It obvious it's Xiang Nuan who's embracing both men. Shen Zemu helped her solve problems and Lin Chuyan kept chatting with her. That's right, I was present. I'm going to have the final soon and I'm still here posting.
-- --How many people were present last night? ?
-- --I regret having paid attention to my classes and not going for an all-nighter. I would have been able to see the once in a blue moon love triangle.
-- --I wasn't there last night. But I saw Xiang Nuan and Lin Chuyan at the cafeteria today. Lin Chuyan peeled a hard boiled egg for Xiang Nuan, he was looking at her so indulgently! Aw! My girl friend and I couldn't even move when we saw it! If Lin Chuyan's willing to peel an egg for me, I'm willing to go to bed with him.
-- --Wake up, Lin Chuyan isn't lacking anyone to sleep with him. Even Shen Zemu has been put down by him, Ok?
-- --[picture] [picture] [picture] The id in the pictures, 'Chu god' is Lin Chuyan and 'Zemu' is Shen Zemu. Last night, the two had played duo several times while Xiang Nuan was concentrating on her studies.
-- --Your post is awesome! Hahahahaha, I feel sorry for Xiang Nuan now……
-- --It's too early to feel sorry for her. As far as I know, Shen Zemu usually uses Han Xin or Zhao Yun. Take a look at the champions he used when playing with Lin Chuyan? Diaochan? Da Qiao? Cai Wenji? It's obviously a girl who was playing with Lin Chuyan. Let me make a bold guess, the one who was playing duos with Lin Chuyan on Shen Zemu's account was Xiang Nuan.
-- --A modern day Sherlock Holmes……
-- --It makes sense. Who can tell me which combination of couples should I support? I'm quite confused, even more confused than when I was taking my differential calculus final.
-- --Don't support a couple, support the triangle. Hahahaha!
More posts were coming. Some students were about to have a final and stopped posting, while others had just finished a final and returned to the discussion. It seemed to Xiang Nuan that all of them had quite the imagination. They could almost come up with a novel now.
She felt so embarrassed.
Shen Zemu was even more embarrassed than her.
People were only guessing which man Xiang Nuan liked, at least no one questioned her sexual orientation. For him, his sexual orientation had changed directions many times. Normally, he would ignore rumors about him having affairs with other men, but with Lin Chuyan…...He couldn't stand it.
He reported the posts and not long after, they were all deleted.
The boiling gossip finally ended. Everyone was back to their studies again.
Xiang Nuan later saw the post about the ghost. She was too scared to go to the study room again at night. She stayed in the library to study. Fortunately, the rest of her finals weren't too hard. Just studying at the library during the day was good enough for her.
After finals, came the most exciting moment: vacation!

We're back, this time at the RIALTO Theatre for likely the FINAL large sized public screening of this film. We do expect it to sell out. So if you are viewing this and thinking "yeah but I'll get tickets later"...you may want to just get them now. The first two shows sold out.
We are going to have some amazing raffle prizes from REI, Great Outdoor Provision Company, Yoga Mojo, and other local businesses that support saving the forest ...including a $230 REI 2 person Tent!! You can buy raffle tickets in advance at https://www.rduforest.com/400feetdown
Film Description:
Seen the #stoprduquarry signs around town? Wondering what it's all about? What if there was a movie that explained all of it?
Two non-profits, a local homeowner and resident of Raleigh, are standing against a backroom deal to give away our public lands to a stone quarry. With litigation and court dates getting closer for them...time is of the essence for the public to become informed about how the "lease" of the OddFellows Tract affects our entire RDU community, greenways, Umstead State Park and Crabtree Creek.
There is much more to this true story than a simple business arrangement between RDU Airport and Wake Stone Quarry.

Doors open at 6:00 and movie starts at 6:30.
NOTE: All tickets sales will go towards the legal defense fund for the #stoprduquarry litigation.

CELEBRATED Short Strand photographer Frankie Quinn is about to launch the third in his striking series of books capturing memorable images of Belfast's peace walls.
It is a subject he has explored in depth for more than twenty years, with two books, in 1994 and 2008, chronicling both the shifting and static nature of the defensive barriers that divide Belfast's communities along sectarian lines. Frankie connects his fascination with peace walls to his upbringing in the besieged Strand.
"I live within golf ball-throwing distance of one of the peace walls in Short Strand," he said. "I grew up in their shadow and it's a subject I've always returned to. I consider it forensic work, charting every ten years what's changed and sadly in most cases what hasn't."
Frankie's latest book, 'Towards 2023', is a response to the commitment made by First Minister Peter Robinson and deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness to remove the walls by 2023. I asked him as someone with unparalleled knowledge of the subject how realistic he thinks that goal is.
"Ultimately the decision to take down the walls has to be made at a local level by those at the coal face, not by faceless securocrats" he replied. "I'm also interested in Berlin as a divided city, and I think the lesson there is you need a change of mentality before the physical barriers can be dissolved."
Despite the optimism initially surrounding the peace process and devolved government, it now appears that the peace walls may be a permanent feature of post-conflict Belfast's landscape given the reoccurrence of sectarian violence, not least at Short Strand.
According to official statistics there are over 48 peace walls in the city and while in some areas the walls have been removed or opened up, elsewhere more have sprung up.
"Well, the first and most positive development is that some of the barriers have come down or been decreased," says Frankie.
"Some areas like the Strand seems to be stuck in a recurrent cycle of tension but elsewhere, like in parts of North Belfast in particular, we've seen peace walls being dismantled, or at least they've been redesigned to allow easier movement and access.
"Some of this is down to demographic change and some of it is down to important community work on the ground. Of course the majority of the barriers haven't moved and the photos will also document that reality."
Frankie is a traditionalist photographer, who eschews digital photography and still shoots using film. His panoramic analogue shots are ideal for capturing the widescreen feel of the peace walls which often extend for miles.
Before their compilation in book form his current series of peace wall photos will go on display at the Red Barn Gallery, where Frankie is director, by late summer.
Frankie's archive along with prints can be accessed at http://www.frankiequinn.com

A very typical conversation with a potential client goes like this:
"What do you want in your home?" -Me
"Blah, blah….and wood floors." -Client
And they aren't alone. A vast majority of home buyers are looking for wood floors. They typically increase the selling value of a home. Not to mention, they are beautiful, especially older restored ones.
You may remember, in this Flip, there were original hardwoods. Hardwoods in terrible, terrible shape. But after hiring a professional company to restore them, they received a new lease on life.
And they look gorgeous. Definitely a show stopper when people enter the home.
But what I'm about to say might just be blasphemy in the home remodel world.
I don't like wood floors.
[I can hear you gasping!]
Despite how beautiful they are, despite the value they add…they have one pretty dominant flaw.
They are so fragile.
Yes, it depends on the type of wood you have. There are harder woods than others, but they all have the same flaw- they're fragile. Everything, and I do mean everything, you put on the floor must be prepared in advance so it won't scratch the floor. If you spill something, the products you can use to clean it up are greatly limited. I'm a household of 1 adult. I couldn't imagine preserving these floors with multiple people, especially children. Every scratch is there and visible.
Case in point.
One of my contractors that was working on the laundry room remodel laid a piece of trim with a nail in it on the floor. And, without thinking, scooted it over with his foot [with me screaming in the background]. But the damage was done…a 13″ deep scar on the floors.
I called the company that did the floors hoping for a miracle. Since the scar covered so many boards, they are unable to fix it. I was hoping they could buff just that one little area. I was grossly mistaken. To fix something like this, the entire room (which would be the living room and the kitchen since it's now "one" room) would have to be stripped, sanded, and restained. The reason they can't do just that one area is because it would not match the rest of the room. So my only option is to get a stain pen from Lowe's and fill int he scar so it's not as noticeable.
Scars like mine don't just happen from careless contractors. Furniture can cause several scars on a floor. Another downfall of the hardwoods is that every single piece of furniture has to have furniture pads on the feet to prevent scarring the floor. The felt bottoms protect the floor.
You may recall that in Flip 2, I used engineered wood floors. And just to clarify, because I see this mistake happen frequently in the world of real estate, engineered wood floors aren't wood floors. For hardwoods, we are talking real, honest to God wood floors. Laminate floors aren't wood. They can't be stripped and stained. Engineered wood floors and hardwoods do not add the same value to a home. At any rate, I loved the floors because they had the historic charm of old wood but the durability of laminate.
In Flip 1, I also used laminate wood floors–but in a more fresh, clean, and modern tone. I think those were my absolute favorite floors. They were beautiful and a great contrast to the gray walls. They were extremely durable and the furniture did not require felt pads for protection.
Another option I've chosen, but not as economical as laminate, is faux wood tile. This has become more and more popular, and there are so many varieties now. It's tile, so it's durable and not fragile. I added two very different tones in Flip 2, and I loved both.
When you buy a home with original hardwoods, and I think we can all agree…there's really only one choice. You keep them. Duh. You restore them. Duh. I couldn't stomach ripping them out.
But if I'm building a new house? I'm not going to add hardwoods. If I'm gutting old, ugly floors like I've done in previous flips, I'm not going to add hardwoods. Gosh, I'm in love with their beauty, but their fragility is the deal breaker for me.
What are your experiences with hardwoods? Any tips or lessons you've learned?

Barack Obama is a parasite - he is also a spider and an extinct lizard
Barack Obama has officially been declared a parasite according to the Journal of Parasitology.
The august journal has announced the discovery of the Baracktrema obamai - a parasite which infects black marsh and southeast box turtles in Malaysia.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the parasite was discovered by Thomas Platt, who has spent decades studying turtle viruses.
He decided to bestow the president's name on the parasite after discovering he was in fact a distant relation - fifth cousin twice removed to be precise.
It appears their common relative was George Frederick Toot, who lived in Middletown, Pa., from 1759 to 1815.
Naming Mr Obama after a turtle parasite was intended as an honour rather than an insult, Mr Platt insisted.
"It is a unique component of the diversity of life on this planet," he said. "Anyone should consider it an honour."
If being named after a parasite is a mark of respect then, it appears, Mr Obama has few rivals.
There is also a fish named after him fish (Etheostoma obama).
Then there is a trapdoor spider (Aptostichus barackobamai), a lichen species (Caloplaca obamae) and an insect-eating lizard (Obamadon gracilis).
Alas the lizard is now extinct.
The White House has yet to comment on the president's new found status.

Every year, more than one million deaths are attributed to malaria and approximately 40% of the world's six billion people remain at risk of contracting the disease. Such staggering numbers make the development of an effective control strategy of the highest importance. One proposed methodology for disease intervention capitalizes on the obligate requirement for development of the malaria parasite (Plasmodium) within the mosquito for malaria transmission. Recent studies have demonstrated that a mosquito serine protease inhibitor, serpin 6 (SRPN6), limits parasite success during the invasion of the midgut and salivary gland epithelium. Serpins are conserved components of many organisms and have been implicated in a variety of cellular events including the regulation of the insect immune response. During both invasive stages of parasite development, the expression of SRPN6 is dramatically increased in response to Plasmodium infection, yet the molecular mechanisms that lead to this response remain unknown.
In Specific Aim 1, I will identify the protease target of SRPN6 and thus begin to define the mechanism by which SRPN6 impairs parasite development.
In Specific Aim 2, I will elucidate the molecular components that lead to the transcriptional activation of the SRPN6 gene.
In Specific Aim 3, I will determine the role of a transcription factor (LL3), a known regulator of SRPN6 expression in response to Plasmodium midgut invasion, in the transcriptional regulation of other co-regulated immune genes. Through these experiments I hope to provide novel insights into mosquito immunity in response to parasite invasion that may lead to new molecular targets for disease intervention strategies.
The transmission of malaria requires the mosquito host. By understanding the mechanisms of parasite invasion and subsequent mosquito immune response, novel strategies for malaria intervention can be developed. The characterization of an anti- parasitic pathway involved in mosquito immunity is outlined within this proposal, which may lead to the development of disease intervention strategies to prevent the spread of malaria.

With the modern climate of social media and immediate fame, Pressure's story of the unsung heroes of the D-Day landings is a truly enthralling tale that reminds you of how different the past was, when your morals and a strong handshake were enough to seal someone's trust. Centred around the final planning stages of the Normandy landings, we follow Group Captain James Stagg in his quest to secure the safety of the landings and accurately predict the weather conditions under immense pressure, whilst also juggling trying to be a caring husband and father in his family's time of need.
David Haig gives a truly captivating performance in the lead role of James Stagg, showing that after years of mastering his trade, he can still control an audience and entertain an entire room just with his physical presence and how he embodies a character, never mind his flawless dialogue which was delivered with a terrific air of grace to it. Laura Rogers was simply flawless as Kay Summersby, giving the play a root in calm and control and making sure that the enormous energy in the piece was supported by a strong base. In particular her farewell moment at the end really moved me and had me close to tears. Philip Cairns was good as Colonel Irving P Krick, working well with the limited amount of stage time and meaningful script given to him. However I do feel that he was given somewhat the short straw out of the cast and this character could have been so much more compelling had we seen him more. Ultimately though the standout performance of the night for me was Malcolm Sinclair as General Eisenhower. He fantastically portrayed a very famous and well-known figure in a multi-faceted way and this is a truly un-enviable task as everyone would have their own perceptions of who Eisenhower was, but Sinclair took all of these on and crafted a real human, not a celebrity construct. His control throughout was fabulous and really made you empathise with him and feel his struggle to get the mission over the line.
From the creatives side, I thought that the direction by John Dove was impeccable and there were so many fantastic moments in this piece, both on script and off, that really made you stop and just take in the wonder you were viewing. The set design and use of lighting were both great too, in particular the way they showed the changing weathers out of the window really added to this piece in my opinion.
Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this show and would recommend it in the highest regards to anyone else. This is a fabulous true story that needs to be told to the masses and Pressure is exactly the way to tell it!

Thirteen is a 2003 movie written by the then fifteen year old Nikki Reed. The movie is intended to be partially autobiographical as it shows much of what Nikki's life was like between the ages of twelve and thirteen. The movie deals with the experience of girls just barely out of their pre-teens and getting into situations that would be better handled by adults.
It was produced independently and only picked up by Working Title Films only after the movie had finished production.
The plot revolves around Tracy Freeland struggling as an adolescent trying to become popular, then becoming popular only to find out that the cost to stay there in morality and self-worth to be too high.
Holly Hunter received a nomination for best supporting actress from this movie and a golden globe. Evan Rachel Wood also received a nomination for a golden globe.
Not to be confused with Thirteen: The Musical.
- Abusive Parents: Evie claims to have them, and it would make a lot of sense
- Adults Are Useless: Averted, but only at the very end: Tracy's mom essentially rescues her from Evie's influence, but until then played horrifyingly straight.
- All Men Are Perverts: Subverted - Tracy and Evie try to seduce Tracy's neighbor Luke, but he's understandably freaked out by the idea of sex with two thirteen-year-old girls, and kicks them out of his house.
- Author Avatar: The story is auto-biographical and the character of Tracy is modeled after co-author Nikki Reed, who is actually playing Evie.
- Broken Bird: Evie definitely, also Tracy could be seen as one.
- Consummate Liar: Evie
- Drugs Are Bad: Using a gas duster to get high, it doesn't sound sexy and they show you just how not sexy it is.
- Fille Fatale: Evie is very good at knowing what boys/men want.
- Fish Out of Water: When Tracy frist meets up with Evie and her friends she is a very good example of this.
- Hey, It's That Guy!: Jeremy Sisto from Six Feet Under and Clueless and Sarah Clarke from 24
- High School Hustler: Evie
- Middle School: While the actual school is not showed very much the setting uses this style of drama
- Les Yay: Between Tracy and Evie
- Mama Bear: Melanie Freeman protecting her daughter Tracy from Evie and her mother.
- Manipulative Bastard: Evie
- Naive Newcomer: Tracy
- Self -Harm: Tracy deals with her stress by cutting her arms with a razor.

Leaving on vacation tomorrow, and I'll be back June 9th. I won't be totally deprived of internet access during this time, but it'll be spotty and when I do have it, it'll likely be very slow. In other words, I won't be around much for the next couple weeks.
I'll miss you guys!

You certainly want to avoid being taken advantage of when booking a hotel room. Whether you get charged a bunch or end up a place that isn't that nice, you will have a bad time if you don't have good information about this. To avoid these problems, use the tips in this article to find the right hotel for you.
Before booking your hotel room, look to online review sites for in depth reviews from recent travelers. Here you can get first-hand reports of the experience people had staying at different hotels. What former guests have to say with regards to a hotel being considered can ensure you make an informed decision.
To keep your electronics safe when you are out of the hotel room, use the safe that you'll find in your closet. Place your iPad, GPS and other small electronics in the safe when you are not in your room.
When thinking about the type of hotel you would like to stay at, there are plenty of options to consider. Of course price is a big deal, but a hotel close to where you are head is a big consideration. Amenities like a swimming pool, a gym, free local calls or breakfast, and other amenities may be things that you prefer. Seek out hotels that offer amenities that appeal to you.
Check your room when you arrive. Is it tidy and sanitary? Does your shower, sink, and toilet work in the right way? Count how many linens and towels you were given and make sure there are enough for everyone traveling with you. If you notice any problems, report them immediately. If your issues are not resolved, ask to move to another room.
Plan your trip as far in advance as possible. A lot of hotel locations offer discounts for reservations a month or more in advance. You may find yourself saving as much as half off of the room's typical rates.
Although many hotels have certain rooms that allow pets, never assume your hotel will without researching ahead of time. Therefore, make sure you call the hotel staff to confirm that they will allow pets. Even if they have a website that states pets are allowed, you should still call to confirm this. Get the term "pet-friendly" defined, as well. The hotel may not allow large dogs or certain types of pets.
If you want to arrange for a couples massage at your hotel, be sure to book the appointment right away. The best masseuses are booked well in advance.
If you belong to AAA, see what kinds of discounts the hotel offers. You might be surprised to learn that your membership to the auto club also includes discounts on hotels. You can save 5 percent or more motels and hotels in the US. This can add up in time!
By following this smart advice, you can avoid negative experiences when staying in hotels. When you learn up front what to look out for, you'll be far more likely to stay in a nice hotel with no troubles. When you stop at your hotel while on the road, you should be able to relax rather than be stressed and uncomfortable.

Welcome to the Friday edition of The Cooler, where you better not be reading this after 4 p.m. Friday on a holiday weekend. Let's get to it:
*The MIAC has made it big, though perhaps not for a reason it would prefer.
The excellent Scott Van Pelt brought to a national stage the big local story of St. Thomas getting booted from the conference during a two-minute monologue on ESPN late Thursday. His take on it was decidedly pro-St. Thomas.
"Now I tried to look at this from the perspective of the smaller schools," Van Pelt says toward the end. "I tried to see how it's anything other than what it is, but I can't. What it feels like is the parents in town who don't like that Little Leaguer who strikes out their kids and hits it in the corn field over there, so they try to ban it."
The indispensable C.J. Fogler got the whole thing here:
*Former Vikings special teams coordinator Mike Priefer departed in the offseason to take the same job with the Browns — where he is getting a chance to work with ANOTHER rookie kicker drafted in the fifth round, Austin Seibert of Oklahoma. We'll see if that young man can win the job and hold it longer than Daniel Carlson did last year with the Vikings.
Anyway, Priefer met with the assembled Browns media during organized team activities on Wednesday, and by the sound of it he was pretty impressed by the press contingent that gathered to ask him questions for 16 minutes.
He reportedly also used the time to compliment Cleveland and/or take a shot at what he perceived was a smaller group that used to listen to him in Minnesota.
*FSN's broadcast of the Twins game Thursday featured a hodge-podge of color analysts because LaTroy Hawkins couldn't stay for the makeup game because of a graduation conflict. Several different folks joined play-by-play voice Dick Bremer in the booth — including Twins baseball boss Derek Falvey for a few innings.
*Speaking of that game, Miguel Sano hit two home runs and has an .800 slugging percentage after starting the season injured. The Twins went 6-1 on their recent road trip, and those "Will Sano mess up the Twins?" takes are disappearing (dugout conspiracy theories aside).

I joined Elegant Resorts in 2005. All the fabulous places to see became even more breathtaking when you add in pure luxury accommodation and travel. An important facet of my own holidays now is good food - it has become one of my great loves. I have had the pleasure to eat at wonderful restaurants such as La Chevre d'Or at the Chateau De La Chevre d'Or in Eze, France, Rossellinis at the Palazzo Avino in Ravello, Italy, The Tasting Room at Le Quartier Francais in Franschhoek in the South African wine lands and at Araxi in Whistler, Canada to name a few.
I started work in the travel industry in 1996. From a very early age I knew I wanted to work in travel. Family holidays to the Pyramids, the Grand Canyon and the Terracotta Warriors were such amazing sights as a child.
Arriving into Venice onboard the Orient Express – just fabulous. After a wonderful day relaxing and taking in the beautiful scenery after a fun-filled, glamorous evening the night before there is nearly silence onboard as a warm breeze blows through the carriages. Everyone is leaning out of the windows to greet the city at the end of this most memorable journey, and Venice is just magical.
Getting on a speed boat with a glass of fizz from Positano to go to the Capri Palace - I felt like Katherine Hepburn. In reality I probably looked more like Bridget Jones as it was quite windy! It was such a spectacular view looking back towards the bay of Naples and the Amalfi Coast line. Picture perfect.
I have personally visited 71 of the luxury hotels in our portfolio. Click the link below to see a list of hotels for which I can offer first hand experience.
"Do a very early morning trip to Pompeii with a private guide to appreciate such a special place before the tourists arrive."
"Book a table at the rooftop restaurant at the Danieli in Venice for stunning views over to the island of Guidecca and the mouth of the Grand Canal. "
"Upgrade to a pyramid view room at the Mena House hotel in Cairo. To wake up and open your curtains to that incredible sight at sunrise is magical."
"See an opera whilst in Prague. It is very reasonably priced and the theatres are absolutely beautiful."
"Emma sorted out a last minute booking for us she was very professional, kind, caring and helpful.
"Excellent friendly service, Emma was extremely helpful and knowledgeable in assisting with our family requirements. "
" I have been with Elegant Resorts since 1992 and in that time I have been lucky enough to travel to some amazing destinations in our programme. I work closely with our hotels and ground handlers and so I am here to assist with any special requests you have. My job is to make your holiday a wonderful, stress-free experience, so please feel free to contact me. "

"Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven" (Matthew 6:10)
Emanuel Swedenborg in writing about his interactions with angels he said he witnessed a common event in heaven. Odd as it may seem, that when people on earth are reading the Bible (the WORD) reverently and as the Holy WORD of God, one or more angels in heaven are following along. When humans read the Bible the text, a spiritual release of understanding is given to the mind to see spiritual truths.
The mind of the born-again regenerate Christian is lifted up into heavenly places while reading the Bible
"made us alive with Christ, even when we were dead in our trespasses. It is by grace you have been saved! And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages He might display the surpassing riches of His grace, demonstrated by His kindness to us in Christ Jesus" (Ephesians 2:5-7)
While reading the Bible the Christian's mind is raised up to a spiritually to "heavenly realm". So it then goes to follow that then the angels of heaven have spiritual access to the WORD being read on earth. Or, "as it is in Heaven".
The Angels' experience of seeing and hearing the WORD is different
The angels are dwelling in a spiritual "heavenly realm", so they can make a direct connection with the people or persons reading the Bible on the earth when they have elevated their mind when reading the Bible.
Today I was reading Exodus,
"They saw the God of Israel, and under his feet as it were a work of sapphire stone, as the substance of heaven for purity" (Exodus 24:10 )
As I began to read I realized that each and every single word I read I had to pause, absorb and dwell on that one word before moving on to the next Word in the sentence.
I then could see in my spirit angels looking at and hearing my Words. For each Word, they had indescribable joy and delight. Although I could not perfectly see what they saw, it was a kaleidoscope of heavenly colors appearing before their eyes and exposing the heavenly spiritual meaning of the Word. This was some kind is of a direct reflection of Jesus Christ Himself. So we who love the Lord as the WORD can understand this heavenly delight that angels must have experienced.
Today there is a spiritual disconnect between heaven and the church on earth. His church body is not moving in unison with the church in heaven.
"When Jesus had spoken these things, He lifted up His eyes to heaven and said, "Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son may glorify You. For You granted Him authority over all humanity, so that He may give eternal life to all those You have given Him. Now this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent. I have glorified You on earth by accomplishing the work You gave Me to do. And now, Father, glorify Me in Your presence with the glory I had with You before the world existed" (John 15:1-5)
We of the Christian church need to raise the Sword of The Lord. For the Lord has already raised us up "into heavenly realms".
Try this yourself. Read the Bible verses aloud and allow yourself to meditate on each Word, dot, and tittle. See for yourself if God will not open your spiritual eyes as He has promised He would do in His Word!
"And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him" (Ephesians 2:6)
In the Book of Revelation, it is promised by Jesus He would open His Word (Bible) to a much deeper and transparent level of illumination. So we weak, puny mortals who see as a glass darkly spiritually can become like the angels in heaven in being able to worship and adore the Lord! Thank you, Jesus!

Recently I've come to a realization. I care about fashion. Not like an overwhelming amount, I'm not going to be looking out for all the hot new trends and paying out the nose to be the first to own them, but I genuinely care about the clothes I wear.
This is a complete and total reversal of how I thought about fashion growing up. As a younger man, I thought fashion was a complete and total waste of time, and the only rule that was worth following was "Comfort is King". (I don't know if that is an actual rule, but it sure sounds like one) Really though I was horrible about clothing growing up and I'm sure my older sisters and mother will attest to this. I was the guy wearing pajama pants, graphic tees and hoodies almost every day and then I'd show up one day with clean jeans and a button-up shirt thinking that would make people magically forget how I dressed for weeks before. It wasn't pretty. I haven't abandoned the idea of comfort being important though, Skinny jeans just feel awkward to wear and that's that.
But now that I've discovered my fondness for my own personal fashion, what am I doing to do now? Uhh… good question. Right now All I do is that whenever I happen to be at a place that sells clothes I just sorta look for whatever I think looks good. It's really a bit of a guessing game right now. I think it's working, but the only mild piece of evidence of this I have is this picture I took on Instagram.
It's not a terribly great photo, but for my small account, the shirt I'm wearing got a good bit of praise. So for that reason alone, I think I might be on the right track for how to dress. I'm open to suggestion though. My tax return is in and I'm wanting to put a little bit of that money into leveling up my wardrobe so let me know if you have a good idea of things I can wear. I swear to all that is good in the world if anyone sends me links to Supreme gear I will come for you. That crap is just dumb.

5 Perfect Occasions to Send FlowersShopping TipsGift IdeasFlowersJust FlowersLuxury
Sending flowers is a time honored tradition for many occasions. But in the modern world, many people are unsure of what the correct etiquette is when sending floral arrangements. The type of bouquet one sends varies according to the reason for sending flowers.
There are times when certain blooms may be wildly inappropriate. You would not send a romantic arrangement of red roses to a grieving widow or to the manager in accounting. Nor would you give your love interest a funeral basket if you wanted to go on another date. The perfect bouquet may be just the right picker upper for the special person in your life. When shopping at websites like Just Flowers, use a coupon code and consider the occasion, the person receiving, as well as your budget.
1. Sympathy Arrangements
In lieu of a note or card, floral arrangements are a simple reminder that our thoughts are with those affected. White blooms such as lilies and roses are historically conventional. But a conservative color scheme is suitable as well. Most reputable florists should have a selection of sympathy arrangements to choose from.
2. Get Well Soon
An injury or other unfortunate accident is not the same thing as a death and should not be treated as such. These parties need to remember to stay positive when they look at the flowers you sent. A potted plant may be ideal if you think they would not mind taking care of it. Or try to incorporate another gift with the arrangement such as fruit baskets, cookies, or a teddy bear.
3. Greeting Card Holidays
There is a holiday for nearly every job that one can do. Mother's and Father's Day come to mind, but there is also Secretary's Day and Indigenous Peoples' Day. Then there are the holidays that are fun to celebrate – Labor Day, St. Patrick's Day, Tax Day – but are not as commercial. A decorative floral arrangement brightens up anyone's Groundhog Day.
4. Important Milestones
Everybody goes through important stage in their life, like graduation or parenthood. These are the times when it is nice to express your warm wishes in the form of flowers. Sentimental tokens like a flower basket really do make the day more special for your loved ones. For example, graduates often wear leis of orchids around their necks during the ceremony.
5. Just Because
It is a widely acknowledged fact that women enjoy receiving flowers just because. If sending flowers just because to your girlfriend or wife, make sure you do it in such a way that she is not suspicious that you feel guilty about something. They say that chocolates say "I love you," so why not surprise her with flowers and chocolate before a romantic dinner date?

The Annual Chili Cook-Off is an event in Springfield that, as implied by the name, occurs yearly. As indicated by the name, it serves as a place where various members of Springfield cook their own chili and feed it to visitors (including vegetarian chili). It also has a square dance session and, at least one time, a cotton candy machine.
Homer and Marge went to one of the Annual Chili Cook-Offs every year. Homer was also well known for being a taste-tester of various chili and being utterly merciless in his critique of them. However, during each visit, Homer ended up becoming "as drunk as a poet on pay day" and as a result doing something very humiliating. This eventually came to a head the year prior to the events of "El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer" where Homer ended up becoming drunk, and then proceeded to strip naked and then bathe in a cotton candy vat, while declaring that everyone look at him as he was "a puffy pink cloud", to everyone's shock, as well as his running off giddily with the kids being frightened by his antics, and eventually collapsing to the ground as two dogs proceed to lick off his cotton candy "clothes", much to Marge's embarrassment. This event in particular acted as the last straw for her, and resulted in her going for drastic measures to ensure Homer couldn't go to the cook-off, including trying to prevent any evidence of it occurring (by cutting out the newspaper mentioning the cookoff, using a vacuum cleaner to drown out Lenny Leonard's attempt at calling Homer to notify him of the event, and even taking up smoking). Homer eventually managed to find out when stepping out to get fresh air, with Marge eventually caving and allowing themselves to go to the cook-off, although only under the condition that Homer remain sober for the entire event. Homer ultimately managed to keep his promise, although he came very close to breaking it after ingesting a Guatemalan Insanity Pepper-laced chili by then-Chief Clancy Wiggum. This event also lead to a near breaking of his relationship with Marge when Homer proceeded to flee the Cook-Off in an apparent psychotic break (ironically, despite Marge's assumptions, his psychotic break had absolutely nothing to do with his drinking beer, but was the side effect of a second try of the Guatemalan Insanity Pepper).
Chili sellers
- A Little Bit of Lenny (Doesn't actually sell chili, but sells ingredients and equipment for making it; Helmed by Lenny Leonard);
- Muntz Family Chili: It takes weeks to make Muntz (Helmed by Nelson Muntz);
- Old Elihu's Yale Style Saltpeter Chili (Helmed by Charles Montgomery Burns);
- Professor Frink's Virtual Chili (Helmed by Jonathan Frink)
- Firehouse Ned's Five Alarm Chili (Helmed by Ned Flanders and his family; though it's revealed to only be two alarm, two and a half alarm tops);
- Moe's Chili Bar (Helmed by Moe Szyslak);
- Chief Clancy Wiggum's tent (In the events of "El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer", Wiggum, in large part due to Homer's merciless reviews, proceeded to add to his chili an extra ingredient specifically for Homer, the Guatemalan Insanity Pepper.);
- Beer Garden: Proof of Age or Exact Change Required (Not actually selling chili, but sold beer);
- Joe's Spoons: Hand Waxed (not actually a chili stand, but sells spoons for eating chili);

Posted on Apr 03, 2019, 3 p.m.
The long standing belief that the aging process will slow down or even stop once a person reaches a certain age has been refuted by a study suggesting there is no such thing as an aging plateau, that people will continue to get older as the years go by.
The aging plateau theory was made after researchers evaluated the risk of death during every year of life which noted those who turn 90 are more prone to dying compared to those who are 75; however if a person reached 105 the chances of dying did not appear to be much higher than during the 90th year of life. The phenomenon was called late life mortality deceleration, and theorized the aging process which increases mortality rate with every passing year more or less halted at that point in a person's life. Based on this a person should not get any older past that point which is the aging plateau, meaning as the person passes more years the body would not age any further.
Australian National University Acton researcher Saul Justin Newman claims this theory is wrong, that it was just a statistical error that somehow kept getting repeated. Newman made a list of errors that could be committed when aging data was being collected and evaluated which may account for the evidence of the plateau. Newman points out that although researchers have accepted the idea of the plateau none of the experts could agree upon a biological reason for its existence.
Pro-plateau researchers assume the data derived from scientific databases were accurate, while Newman himself believes that at least some of the data was incorrectly entered. Newman suggests that some of the participants may have actually been 75 but were listed in the database as 85 for example, and likewise there could be participants who were much older than the age listed.
Newman says there were more younger subjects than older ones, statistically speaking the average subject therefore stood a greater chance of having data entered into the database as having an older age than they actually were. Newman goes on to explain errors don't need to take place very often, a small number of incorrect ages of death would be enough to cause what is considered to be the aging plateau.
Newman has also challenged findings of a 2018 Sapienza University of Rome study drawing on Italian databases of lifespans which claims to have found evidence supporting the existence of an aging plateau. Newman's counter study dismissed these new findings saying if 1 out of every 500 subjects listed in the database had incorrect age of death the results would match findings of the Sapienza study.
Newman has said "..the human body will only last so long before its functionality gives out. Aging does not stop in old age... biological machinery will get relentlessly worse from puberty until death."

On Thursday 18 June local botanist Tricia Moxey led her ever-popular midsummer wildflower walk around the exchange lands, one of the richest areas for plants in our area.
The large group of 33 people was taken on a circular route around the area centred on the old sewage works site south east of Wanstead Park. Much disturbed by human activity over the years, and with large expanses of made-up ground, which adds to the potential for ecological diversity, the area is now largely left to its own devices. Encompassing areas of naturally regenerated woodland, scrub, grassland, as well as a pleasant stretch of the River Roding, the flora is dominated by characteristic native species, but includes exotic interlopers and garden escapees.
This event was organised by the Wren Conservation and Wildlife Group and was part of the 2015 Wanstead Park Festival.

Part I -- ROOTS AND STRATEGIES OF THE COLD WAR BEFORE REAGAN
Chapter 1 - America's Freedom Faith and The Cold War
The exceptional principles, institutions, history, and documents of America's freedom faith and experience are demonstrated in its revolutionary founding, civil war, civil rights progress, and international role. Together, these historical elements demonstrate why even with America's acknowledged uneven progress on full human rights for all, it became and remains the world's great beacon of hope and resistance against tyranny and for liberty and opportunity. Inspiring American freedom documents include the Mayflower Compact, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the words of James Madison, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King, Jr. During the Civil War, Lincoln, the first Republican president, rallied the American people to America's high cause of freedom, reconciliation, and peace. At the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C., King proclaimed that he "still" had a dream of transformative peaceful democratic progress in human rights, and in letters from prison in 1962 and sermons in divided Berlin in 1964, he sharply contrasted America's faith in freedom and peaceful progress with the heartless tyranny of Communism. The historic texts of America's most beloved national hymns, many incorporated in its civil rights movements, also demonstrate the freedom faith, institutions, vision and dream that made America the Soviet Union's prime target during the Cold War and the prime source of international strength and hope for peace and freedom.
1. The American Revolution for Freedom and Four Regressive Revolutions—France, Russia, Germany, and Imperial Japan
Throughout the long Cold War, the American Revolution and its freedom faith and institutions stood as the great alternative of Western democratic civilization to the German National Socialist, Japanese Imperialist, and Soviet Marxist-Leninist totalitarians. The American Revolution and, some 200 years later, the Reagan Revolution and Reagan's strategy, assured an American rebirth at home and won the Cold War abroad in the name of human freedom, democracy, strength, responsibility, justice, and peace. The American Revolution and the Reagan Revolution were forward-looking, ethical, and positive in ways fundamentally different from three other famous historic "revolutions" and their associated political ideologies that were not open to democratic reform and were enforced by violent vanguards claiming a monopoly on intellectual, political, and economic wisdom and power. These three revolutions, the French Revolution, Lenin's Bolshevik Revolution, and Hit-

Soul Asylum at First Avenue, 12/17/10
Soul Asylum
December 17, 2010
First Avenue, Minneapolis
It felt like the early '90s at First Avenue again, as a packed crowd awaited the highly anticipated first show by Soul Asylum at the venue since last December. Mysterious percussion and tool noises came from behind the screen as Soul Asylum opened with "Artificial Heart" from their 1989 Clam Dip and Other Delights. In keeping with the nostalgic opening (perhaps an homage to First Avenue's 40th Birthday?), they tore into a rousing "Marionette," (1988, Hang Time). Along with several familiar songs and a few covers, Soul Asylum performed new songs sounding as good as much of their earlier material.
[jump] The ever-charismatic, wild frontman Dave Pirner, and Dan Murphy on guitar/back-up vocals remain core Soul Asylum bandmates since their Loud Fast Rules beginning. They were joined by bassist Pete Donnelly of opening band, the Figgs, (also a back-up band for regular Soul Asylum bassist, Tommy Stinson). Former Prince stalwarts joining them were longtime Soul Asylum drummer Michael Bland and keyboardist Tommy Barbarella.
Soul Asylum's propulsive, energetic performance was as playful and simultaneously poignant as always; it's their live music performance standard and what we know to expect from all their live shows over nearly three decades. After I moved to the Twin Cities in '90, I saw as many of their live shows as I could. They, and a few others at the time, left an indelible imprint on me regarding what live music could and should be. I can't think of Soul Asylum without recalling them playing an early '90s outdoor show in a tent - Pirner lunging into the air at a tent pole and spinning horizontally around it 360 degrees high-speed, landing gracefully and continuing to perform without pause. They perform with an agile athleticism to this day.
Pirner's dark blonde hair is grown out near its '90s length, ideal for his signature hair-whipping-and-spinning while performing high-energy songs such as "Someone to Shove" and anthemic "All is Well." Pirner, smiling through most of the set, looked delighted to be playing his hometown again. He dedicated songs to friends lost over the years -- "It's Bob Stinson's birthday, today!" led into "Whatcha Need." And of course, he talked about playing First Avenue over the years: "Its always a great time to play here! Happy 40th Birthday, First Ave!" before kicking into a crowd favorite, "Black Gold."
On a more somber note, Pirner announced, as usual, a dedication to original Soul Asylum bassist, Karl Mueller, sadly lost to cancer in 2005, with the song "Leave Without a Trace." He also honored friend Vic Chestnutt, who died last year, by covering his song "When I Ran Off and Left Her." During this, it struck me that Soul Asylum has the killer combination of their guitar skills, a stellar lineup of backing musicians, Pirner's gravelly, emotive vocals, and Pirner and Murray's compelling lyrics, sung at times with a lilting quality belying their depth and gravity, that Soul Asylum hook you and don't let go.
Personal Bias: I was there in the early '90s. I've seen Soul Asylum dozens of times over nearly three decades.
The Crowd: It looked sold-out, could hardly move. Mostly mid-30's - 40s, with a lot of younger people.
Overheard in the crowd: "That shit was hot!" "They have as much energy as ever!"
Random Notebook Dump: More people in a mosh pit than I've seen in a long time. The Christmas tree and lighting on stage added warmth to a set rife with beautiful nostalgic moments. Epic fun.

German container ship attacked off southern coast of Nigeria
The firm said on its website that the crew members were abducted by pirates who later left the ship with their captives.
"Container ship Demeter was attacked by pirates at around 0600UTC [GMT] Oct 21... south of Port Harcourt, Nigeria, Bight of Bonny, while en route from Malabo Equatorial Guinea to Monrovia, Liberia," said the firm.
"Pirates boarded the ship, kidnapped six crew, including master, chief officer, second officer, second engineer, bosun and cook, and then left Demeter.
According to report, there were eight pirates on a black speedboat. Remaining 12 crew reported unhurt, the ship resumed sailing, ETA," it added.
Local police spokesman Omoni Nnamdi said authorities consider the development as a "rumor for now".
"I cannot confirm the development for now. Our command is unable to confirm the incident because we have contacted all the units and none has confirmed it yet," Nnamdi told Anadolu Agency. ■
