A younger sibling to the Discovery Channel, Animal Planet began in 1996 as a niche that, within less than six years, had 80 million subscribers. Today's it's still one of the fastest growing American cable networks in the global market.
Released with TLC Beyond in 2006 as the second phase of Discovery Communications' broadband broadcasting initiative, Animal Planet Beyond joined the original multi-channel portals like Discovery Channel Beyond and Travel Channel Beyond, both of which launched several months earlier.
The release of Animal Planet Beyond marked the first of Discovery's broadband supplements to include an impressive amount of original content, apart from its traditional television programming.
Clips from the channel run from 1 to 10 minutes in length – though most tend to be around 2 – and are categorized by what's new, what's on TV, what's popular, and a rotating line-up of various subjects. Some categories of past and present include Pets, Wild Animals, Prehistoric Beasts and Legends, AKC/Eukanaba, and Bug Week. Each section has roughly 5 to 20 clips, with commercials running before every few videos.
Since most of the clips were originally produced to air on Animal Planet, it goes without saying that the quality of the content is superb. Animal Planet Beyond also usually offers at least one series of original web content – currently, it's Pet Trends. Maggie Gallant, founder of Spotlight Communications and a trend expert on NY1 News, is the affable host, showing viewers the latest in pet food, clothing, toys, and other accessories.
Maggie Gallant's Pet Trends is a fun show, if a little odd. There's one 3-minute show devoted to Doggles, a company that creates designer canine sunglasses. But like all of Discovery's online broadcasting supplements, the constant advertisements before each video can be off-putting, especially since the videos are not much longer than the commercials.

Side effects of clove
(Eugenia caryophyllata)
Side effects of clove
- Dermatitis: Cloves may cause dermatitis or skin irritation by direct contact. The essential oil is very irritating and can cause blisters or burns.
- Gastritis: Clove is very rich in eugenol, a component which, in high doses, can be irritating to the digestive mucosa. Its use in high doses can cause gastritis to people with sensitive stomachs. Clove remedies may be contraindicated in case of heartburn and digestive ulcers.
- Allergy: Some people may have allergies to clove.
Precautions when taking clove
- NO treatments can be made with clove during pregnancy and lactation.
* More information: Plants and pregnancy.
Dry clove
Clove for babies and children?
Babies and children who are teething are often administered remedies for toothache with clove oil. This is a very dangerous treatment: Infants are more susceptible to the components of the nail and, if you exceed the dose, it can produce side effects to the nervous system.

Jackson, the former Lions quarterback who spent seven seasons with the club as a player and the 2013 campaign as the team's quarterbacks coach, was most recently the passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the Saskatchewan Roughriders in 2016 and 2017.
"Ed and I are very pleased to welcome Jarious back to the Lions," said head coach Wally Buono. "My thoughts on Jarious' ability as a coach are well–documented and he has gained some valuable experience over the past number of years. He's enjoyed a significant amount of success since being here in 2013 and we're fortunate to have him returning to our organization."
Prior to his two-year stint in Saskatchewan, Jarious spent a pair of seasons with the Edmonton Eskimos as quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator where he helped tutor the Green and Gold's stable of pivots and enjoyed a Grey Cup win in 2015.
"I'm excited to return to where my career in the CFL began in 2005," said Jackson. "I believe the team that Ed and Wally are putting together is going to be very competitive and I'm excited to be part of the organization once again."
The Lions also announced that Ryan Rigmaiden has resigned his position as director of U.S. scouting.

I had a friend in town this past weekend, and we drank too much. Calories in alcohol aside, I felt like garbage the next day, ate a million pork dumplings and felt bad about the whole thing. Pizza and nachos were also involved. I try not to be too hard on myself when this happens, but it's hard not to when you've been working hard to lose weight. And because alcohol leaves me feeling tired for days, it often leads to days of poor food choices. This time, I got back on my diet and am feeling good about it.
If your friends are anything like mine, socializing often just means eating and drinking. Part of my success in losing weight has been due to just staying home and watching Frasier. While that hasn't been too hard in the cold winter weather, I can't avoid my friends forever. When I have ventured out lately though, it's been for more reasonable activities that leave me feeling good.
A lot of weight-loss articles tell you to pair up with a friend and exercise together. Most of my friends wouldn't be interested, and neither am I. But there are plenty of things to do that aren't just eating and drinking. While Frasier Crane likes to indulge in a nice glass of wine or sherry and try new restaurants like Le Cigare Volant, his social calendar is also filled with events like the symphony, theatre and opera. Going to the movies followed by one drink, for example, is a much healthier way to spend time with friends. Also, your friends will likely agree to do this with you.
And if you do spend a night out drinking Ballantines and eating junk, it happens.
Has anyone else had a hard time being social while dieting? Please share your tips or experiences! I'm listening.

Medical Cannabis for Irritable Bowel Syndrome in Toronto and across Canada
Free Medical Cannabis Clinic
Medical Cannabis for Irritable Bowel Syndrome in Toronto and across Canada
Free Medical Cannabis Clinic
White Cedar Medical Cannabis Doctors are trusted by Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) patients and healthcare practitioners in the Greater Toronto Area, throughout Ontario and across Canada.
Our fully integrated clinics offer comprehensive cannabis assessment and education services for eligible patients, free-of-charge.
Symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) are numerous and include abdominal pain, irregular bowel movements and nausea. These symptoms can be difficult to manage and traditional treatment options are often found to be ineffective. However, recent research studies have shown that cannabis may be helpful in relieving and managing IBS and helping patients improve their quality of life.
The therapeutic effects of cannabis have been attributed to the presence of CB2 receptors in the Gastro-intestinal tract. These receptors are activated by Cannabidiol, also known as CBD, a non-psychoactive cannabinoid in the cannabis plant.
The results of CBD rich cannabis strains are anti-inflammatory effects as well as a decrease in abdominal pain. Research indicates that cannabis has also been found to help in the movement of secretions as well as regulation of bowel movements.
Because cannabinoids such as CBD act on CB1 and CB2 receptors found throughout our body and throughout our endocannabinoid system, cannabis has the potential to assist with a variety of related symptoms.
In addition to relieving inflammation and managing pain, cannabis has the potential to decrease anxiety and improve the quality and duration of sleep.

TORONTO, Oct 28 (Reuters) - The Toronto Stock Exchange's main index .GSPTSE may rise at the open on Tuesday as commodity prices recovered and profit at Rogers Communications (RCIb.TO) rose sharply.
But gains may be tempered by the financials sector as brokerage Dundee Securities downgraded the country's biggest banks as their fiscal year-ends draw to a close.
Some bargain hunters may also emerge after Monday's late-session drop. The index closed on Monday below 9,000 for first time since December 2004, as it lost more than 300 points in the last half hour of trade. It finished down 8.14 percent at 8,537.34. The benchmark index is down 27 percent so far this month.
Here is some of the news that could affect the market.
The country's biggest wireless service provider said quarterly profit jumped 84 percent, beating analysts' expectations, helped by sales of Apple's iPhone. Rogers also lowered its 2008 outlook for its wireless unit as the costs to activate new subscribers mounted. [ID:nN27347751]
Tracking a recovery in European and Asian stock markets, oil rose above $64 a barrel. Market players were also watching closely for evidence OPEC was implementing its decision last week to cut output, as well as Wednesday's data on U.S. fuel stocks. [ID:nSP356619]
Gold climbed more than 3 percent in Europe as the dollar softened against the euro and a recovery in equities curbed selling of bullion to over losses on other markets. Platinum and palladium were also firmer. [ID:nLS113101]
Dundee Securities downgraded eight Canadian banks, saying earnings estimates and valuations for the banks will remain under pressure and will decline even further. Half the banks have a sell rating, including Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS.TO) and Royal Bank of Canada (RY.TO). The other four have neutral ratings, including Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD.TO) and National Bank of Canada (NA.TO). [ID:nWNAB2961]
Canadian Pacific Railway (CP.TO) posted a lower third-quarter profit, citing foreign exchange impacts on long-term debt and charges associated with the revaluation of an investment in asset-backed commercial paper for the dip. [ID:nN28373363]
Pharmaceutical company QLT QLT.TO QLTI.O reported a jump in third-quarter profit, primarily because of gains from asset divestments. It also said it expected sales of Visudyne, aimed at fighting macular degeneration, for the year will be at the low end of its forecast range. [ID:nN27316515]
Brokerage Genuity Capital Markets cut the price target on Research in Motion RIM.TO to $100 from $140, while UBS cut Shoppers Drug Mart SC.TO. Versant Partners cut WestJet Airlines (WJA.TO) to C$11.50 from C$14.50 and reduced the carrier to hold from buy on increased market challenges.

Just how popular is your web site? Figuring out the answer to this is a complicated task and you can't expect to get a precise answer. Even where you do get an answer it is only applicable for a short period of time as web pages that are popular today may not be as popular tomorrow. Of course your popularity may follow a pattern so if you track your popularity over a longer period of time you may obtain more relevant information than if you only track it for a short period.
So how can we find out how popular our web site is? There are a number of tools out there that can help us to determine this.
One tool that can be used on any web page is a hit or visit counter. It doesn't matter whether your site has its own domain or is on a free service because you can't install a counter on your site directly you can always link to one of the many free or paid services that provide them. These counters will provide a varying amount of information about the visitors to your page depending on which you choose.Bravenet provide a free counter that records quite a lot of information about the visitors to your site.
The biggest problem with hit/visit counters is that they don't count the true number of visitors to your site as some visitors will get counted multiple times while others don't get counted at all. For this reason I suggest that a more practical use of such counters for determining the popularity of your site is to count the hits or visitors for a set period (eg. one month) then reset the counter to count the same for the next period. A comparison of these counts over several periods will give you a good indication of how the popularity of your site is changing whereas the straight count doesn't tell much.
Most sites consist of multiple pages. To determine the popularity of your whole site using hit/visit counters you either need to place a separate one on each page of your site or alternatively place the same counter on all of your pages and collect one set of statistics for the whole site. This latter approach may be more practical with sites having a large number of pages but you wont get any info on whether one page is more popular than another.
If you have your site hosted at its own domain name then there is a good chance that your host has implemented logging that tracks all of the accesses to your site. If this is installed then there is a fair chance that they will also have installed some form of analysis program that can read these log files and provide you with information about how often your web pages are visited. Depending on which analysis program is installed you may get access to more or less information about accesses to the individual pages. If the information supplied by the preinstalled options are insufficient to meet your needs then you may be able to install your own program to analyse the access. There are a number of programs available that can do this, just check with your host to see whether they support you installing your own log analyser.
These techniques give you an indication of how the popularity of your web site changes over time. The next thing to look at is how the popularity of your site compares to other sites on the web. You can't do this with a counter or by analysing your stats. In fact there is nothing available to you on your site that can help you with this at all. Fortunately someone else is actually tracking the popularity of web sites - the search engines. Most search engines today try to use site popularity as part of their criteria for determining which order to display search results in. Some of these very kindly make this information available to webmasters.
Probably the two most important of these ranking systems are those provided by Google and Alexa. Of these the Alexa ranking is easier to understand and easier to access. Alexa collect information about all of the pages that are visited on the web by people using the Alexa Toolbar in their browser. From this they estimate the relative popularity of the different web sites. You can find out the position of a given web site in order of popularity by looking up the Alexa ranking for the site. Rankings run from one for the most popular site on the web (currently Yahoo) through into the millions for sites that only get a few hundred visitors each day. If you use the toolbar then you get the information displayed on the bar when you visit the page. You can also go to the Alexa web site and look up the information there. Alexa also provide a means of displaying this information directly in your web page - like this:
The Google ranking system runs from 10 for the most popular sites down to 0 for the least popular. Instead of counting visitors the Google Page Rank uses the number and quality of links to rank pages. The more links the more popular the site is and the higher the rank of the pages where those links are found the more important the link is. Of course the relevance of the links is also looked at so you can get a higher rank from a few highly ranked relevant sites than you can from a larger number of low ranked relevant sites and irrelevant links are either not counted or may even lower the rank. The Google page ranks can most easily be found for a site by installing the Google toolbar in your browser. One final thing to note about the Google rank is that it uses a logarithmic scale so that if a site ranked 4 is "n" times as popular as a site raned 3 then a site ranked 5 is "n" times as popular as a site ranked 4. (Google don't say what the actual value of "n" is). his means that the vast majority of sites on the web will have very low numbers for their Google site rank and only the top few will have really high numbers.
Note that since Alexa toolbar tracks the web pages that users visit, it is considered by many to be spyware.

Chelsea vs Manchester United: Antonio Conte wants Jose Mourinho to be shown respect by fans in Sunday clash
Special One returns to Stamford Bridge for the first time since his exit last year and won't be given any special treatment
ANTONIO CONTE has told Chelsea fans to remember the part Jose Mourinho played in the club's history.
Mourinho returns on Sunday with Manchester United for the first time since he was sacked last season after losing ten Premier League games with Chelsea.
Conte said: "I think that he was an important manager for Chelsea. With the club, with the players, he brought a part of the story. He won three championships. I think he was an important man for the club.
Keep up to date with ALL the Chelsea news, gossip, transfers and goals on our club page plus fixtures, results and live match commentary by clicking HERE
"I think he deserves a good reception. I repeat: he brought, with the club and with the players and the staff, a part of the story of this club. When you've won three championships you remain in the hearts of the fans. It's normal, this.
"I think he deserves this. Then, after the whistle, he becomes like the other players of Manchester United. An enemy. But from a sporting aspect.
"Sure, I have great respect for him. Sure, he's a great manager. He won a lot in his career. I think that he deserves the maximum respect."
The Italian boss has got off to a great start at Stamford Bridge and will be hoping to keep his winning streak going after seeing off Hull and Leicester.
Conte confirmed Willian and Oscar were available for selection again after returning from respective bereavements in Brazil, although they're not guaranteed a place in the matchday squad.
There's also good news regarding Kurt Zouma, with Conte expecting the crocked Frenchman to be back in full training next week.

Self Image
I tracked a few more days, and it does look like I am coming up just a few hundred calories short of where Im supposed to be. Some days this isnt as much as others depending on what I eat. So I guess next week I will try to fit in an extra healthy snack here and there. Ill admit Im nervous about it, because normally you think youll eat more and maintain or gain. I know that if I went into the maintenance portion of my the LAWL program, I would be eating more, so I guess I feel slightly uncomfortable eating more with hopes of gaining weight. But its just a test to see and I know that if I do start gaining, Ill cut back again.
Ive been trying really hard to look at my body lately and see it how it really is. I think my self image is way off. The other day I got a friend request on Facebook from a high school friend. I accepted and proceeded to do what everyone does - look to see how they are doing and of course, compare themselves to them (I do anyways!). This friend wasnt obese or anything in high school, but she was definitely the heaviest of our friends. I checked out her pictures and she looks great! And by great, I dont mean that she dropped down to a small small size, but she has lost some weight. I was looking at her, and realized that she is probably about the same size and proportions that I am now. It got me to thinking about how hard I am on myself. Here I am thinking how great someone else looks when I too have a body like that. Its not the skinniest, but it looks healthy and proportionate. I am almost admiring what I have, and the reason is that I just cannot see what I have.
I dont really know how I go about changing myself image. Dont get me wrong - sometimes I look at myself and really like how I look. But other times I still look at myself and think that I dont look much different than when I was heavier. I know thats silly because looking at pictures, its quite obvious I dont look the same. I dont always feel like I see myself the way I really am. I am my own worst critic, and rather than looking in the mirror and liking what I see, I am so much harder on myself than I am looking at someone who has a body just like mine. Again, I am not sure how to really change this. Ive always been a perfectionist and while this has served me well in my professional life, personally its not the best quality to have. I need to really see myself and work past the issues I have with my self image. I guess I will have to do some researching around on the 'net to get some thoughts on how to change this.

Hey, I'm in the same boat. I still am not satisfied with the way I look, but it's so much better than before. I guess we just gotta learn to accept ourselves for who we are---as trite as that sounds.

I remember walking into Dillard's one day (about this time last year, as a matter of fact) and seeing the reflection in the plate glass windows of another woman walking toward the store. I had been a little impatient with the weight loss and not happy with how I looked, and I remember thinking, "If I could just be her size, I'd be happy."
You probably know how this ends. When I got closer to the door, I could see that the woman in the reflection was ME. LOL (Guess I "got told", as the saying goes.)
Whenever I get to fussing over my appearance, I think about that day. I suspect we will ALWAYS have days of discontent, but we have to accept that we mostly look pretty darn good. :) Keep working on it; it will happen.

You are so close to that number! I'm so happy to hear a scale being nice to someone this week :) Way to go!
You know, it is amazing how skewed our self image gets.... I remember back when I was in high school, I was obsessed about being smaller (I was already a size 6). I was in a store buying a prom dress and picking all of these larger size dresses. The sales woman (who I thought was so skinny and gorgeous) looked at me and said "you are the same size as me - get a 6). I was floored. I can't even tell you what my image is now.... it's sad. Judging from your pics on your blog - you are gorgeous! If you can't believe it for yourself just yet - let us be your eyes. You are!!
Have a great night!

We all have days where we feel pretty good about ourselves and days where we don't feel so good about ourselves - no matter how big or small we are! I think the first step is recognizing the negative thoughts, which you have already done, and then it's a case of keeping them in check when you have them. Not always easy to do, but I think the more you banish those thoughts, the easier it gets.

Not trying to push motherhood on you or anything ;) but I have to say when I became a mother a lot of the things I used to worry about became not so important anymore.

I agree with the other comments - we are so much harder on ourselves (by the way, I do the compare thing on facebook as well). To me, you are creating the weight loss path that so many of us are just starting on. Wish I had more insights for you, but I think you are doing great. Self-image is a hard thing to figure out. I can't wait to find out what you learn.

Organ in pieces
Today saw the first pieces of the organ start to be removed. It's quite a piece of work!
It's also aroused quite a bit of local interest with the radio, television and newspaper all wanting a piece about it.
There are about 4500 pipes in our organ. Each has to be removed, restored and replaced. It should take about 18 months, and costs a small fortune.
shelved as Music, Organ, Year in the Life

So did you commission a Durham firm for the restoration because they built your organ, or for nostalgic reasons...?
This is a hugely ambitious project, and we wish you every success with it. I can't wait to come to Bristol to listen to the newly restored organ.
Surely it is not premature to start a discussion on the commissioning performance?

Finally the Cherry Cobbler one. I love how bold and vibrant this card is! Instead of using the Polka Dot folder for this white panel I clear heat embossed the Marbled Background, it was a little too subtle for my liking so the rest of the cards were run through the Big Shot. It's still an amazing card!shop the Online Extravaganza going on now!
Thanks for looking see you soon!!!!

Northwestern prof sues school over "flawed and one-sided" sex charge investigation
We have reported that male students have begun filing lawsuits related to gender discrimination and libel against their schools, based on an questionable sex crime charges and flawed investigations conducted by kangaroo campus courts.
Now, a male professor is initiating a similar lawsuit of his own, based on his own experiences with "campus justice."
Philosophy Prof. Peter Ludlow is suing Northwestern and top University officials for defamation, gender discrimination and invasion of privacy.
The University acted "with malice and with reckless indifference" toward Ludlow's rights under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, according to the suit. Ludlow names University President Morton Schapiro and an NU graduate student as defendants in the suit, which was filed Wednesday.
In addition to his allegations against NU, Ludlow denies reports that he had non-consensual sex with a philosophy graduate student while they were in a relationship.
Ludlow is raising his concerns in the wake of a different Title IX lawsuit filed in February against the University by a rising Medill senior. The Medill student alleges that NU acted with "deliberate indifference and retaliation" after she reported that Ludlow sexually assaulted her in 2012. The student's report spurred an internal investigation that found Ludlow in violation of NU's sexual misconduct policy. Ludlow called this investigation "flawed and one-sided" and has denied the student's allegations.
Ludlow's suit reveals that the University also investigated Ludlow after a philosophy graduate student lodged a complaint in March that Ludlow had non-consensual sex with her. The pair had "a consensual romantic relationship" from about October 2011 to January 2012, according to Ludlow's suit.
He is alleging that the graduate student, along with philosophy Prof. Jennifer Lackey and director of NU's Sexual Harassment Prevention Office Joan Slavin, who are also named in the suit, defamed him in statements they made during a third-party investigation into the student's allegations.

Adelaide Crows get the better of the Western Bulldogs in 37-point AFL victory
Josh Jenkins (L) and Darcy Fogarty celebrate a Crows goal in the wet against the Bulldogs. (AAP: Kelly Barnes)
Adelaide livewire Eddie Betts slotted four goals in a rain-soaked 37-point win against the Western Bulldogs.
Betts' Friday night haul included two more specials in the Crows' resounding 9.9 (63) to 2.14 (26) triumph at Adelaide Oval.
The Bulldogs' total was the equal seventh-lowest in their 93-year history.
In heavy rain, Betts scored with an outrageous effort, a 50-metre left-footer on the run, for the opening goal of the game.
He later threaded a remarkable drop punt from the boundary line as the Crows defied their injury crisis to bank a sixth win of the season.
The Crows were missing nine topliners, with captain Taylor Walker, vice-captain Rory Sloane, All Australian Matt Crouch and Mitch McGovern among their injured list.
But with Bryce Gibbs (26 disposals), Rory Laird (28 possessions), Paul Seedsman (22 touches) and Betts taking up the slack, they made the Bulldogs pay for waste in attack.
The Bulldogs managed just one goal in the initial three quarters – from Lukas Webb, after a questionable free kick in a slide with Crow backman Daniel Talia.
Bulldog Jack Macrae continued his prolific ball-winning streak with a game-high 36 disposals, Luke Dalhaus (25 possessions) and Marcus Bontempelli (28 possesions) battled gamely but the visitors will rue a sloppy opening half.
At half-time, despite having 11 more inside 50s, the Bulldogs trailed by eight points.
Adelaide then sealed victory with three unanswered goals in the third quarter, including Betts' 30-metre boundary line set shot, with the Dogs a meagre 1.10 at three-quarter time.
Betts potted two more majors in a tame final quarter, leaving the Bulldogs with a 4-5 win-loss record this season ahead of a Friday night fixture against Collingwood.
The Crows face a testing month – Melbourne, Greater Western Sydney, Fremantle away and Hawthorn away.

Stop forming inappropriate relationships with unbelievers. Can right and wrong be partners? Can light have anything in common with darkness? Can Christ agree with the devil? Can a believer share life with an unbeliever? Can God's temple contain false gods? Clearly, we are the temple of the living God. As God said, "I will live and walk among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people." The Lord says, "Get away from unbelievers. Separate yourselves from them. Have nothing to do with anything unclean. Then I will welcome you." The Lord Almighty says, "I will be your Father, and you will be my sons and daughters."
For decades the practice of compromising has been a common experience in all facets of our society. It takes place in the professions, the world of business, the arena of politics, within the tainted realm of the entertainment world, and tragically, within the church that professes to be Christian in faith.
Less than half of our population in the United States can find itself in a place of worship on Sunday mornings. Of those involved in Sunday worship, pastors and laity, compromise concerning the Christian faith has accelerated through time!
Compromise regarding the Christian faith really got started in earnest in the beginning years of the 20th Century. "Doctrines of devils" were imported from the continent of Europe at that point in time, and as a fast growing malignancy, they spread throughout the republic.
Basic doctrines of the Christian faith were denied, such as the virgin birth of Jesus Christ - a human mother, but with no biological father being involved. The miracle deniers had a field day with other reported miracles such as the Israelites crossing the Red Sea, Jonah being swallowed by a great fish, and Jesus' feeding of a huge multitude of people with a few loaves and fish! Many other supernatural events were the targets of skepticism and denial. And it follows that the literal resurrection of Jesus from the dead following His crucifixion would be denied - it simply could not have happened, could it? A few of us respond by asking a simple question - "How can you be personally acquainted with a Person whose body lies in a grave, and how can you be in daily conversation with Him?" Conversing with a corpse is strictly a one way street, wouldn't you say?
The problem of denial was the result of taking the position that the holy Scriptures were not trustworthy but simply literature that was solely produced by humans such as you and I. This literature was saturated with a lot of myth and fairy tale type of stuff - you know, human imaginations running in overdrive with some really wild stuff recorded!
And we have always had those individuals around who say that it doesn't matter what you believe when it comes to the Bible - any and every interpretation is possible - just pick and choose what fits your lifestyle and it's OK.
As the rebel seed was sown over months and years, the compromising became more obvious.
Sunday used to be a day when businesses shut down completely. Only the essentials were in operation such as hospitals, law enforcement agencies, fire departments, and those companies which maintained furnace operations such as making steel and glass every day. For a majority long ago Sunday was a day of worship, rest, and time spent with families.
But then over time "blue laws" were discarded with stores and entertainment enterprises beginning to do business on Sundays. Manufacturing expanded and Sundays became just another day to make stuff for sale in the world of commerce. This became acceptable to Christians without much objection.
Compromise on religious issues began in earnest with more and more Christian church groups going on record as saying that other "faiths" outside Christianity also have legitimate claims when it comes to addressing the issues of life, human relationships and responsibility, as well as the all-important matter of eternal destiny. Further, that Christianity does not have sole authority in such matters! This means that Jesus Christ is deceived or simply does not know what He is talking about in those "I am…." claims He stated about Himself and the absolute demands He placed upon us humans such as you read in the opening statements of John 3.
Compromise on a most destructive decision took place in 1963 - the U.S. Supreme Court handed down a ruling that Bible reading and prayer would no longer be permitted in our public schools. Most professing Christians seemed to accept that with little or no objection. And there were those in the community of "faith" who even said it was a good thing. But now in retrospect can any person honestly say that conditions have greatly improved and our schools are all the better and more superior after that decision than they were before it was handed down?
Then a very critical moral issue came before the court a few years later. In 1973 the U.S. Supreme Court made the most deadly decision in its entire history in which it became a "constitutional right" for a female to intentionally have her unborn child mutilated and murdered for whatever reason she chose to spew forth from the bottomless pit of ignorance! Many professing Christians, along with not a few church leaders, went along with this without serious objection. There are church groups that accept this practice of destroying about 25,000 unborn children each week without so much as a whimper of protest. Perhaps a major stumbling block on this is the fact that within the ranks of professing Christianity there is colossal ignorance concerning God's view of human life and His planned purpose for every conceived human life! A recent poll now indicates that the majority of citizens do not want Roe v. Wade overturned - they want the slaughter of the unborn to continue without hindrances.
Unborn Babies Brutally
Mutilated and Murdered
since Roe vs. Wade
January 1973
Watch this for 60 to 90 seconds
and see what happens!
The issue of sodomy and lesbianism surfaced within churches with the very divisive question, "Are these practices morally acceptable?" Over time we have witnessed the trend of professing Christians to accept same-sex activity and relationships as being "normal" - more and more church "leaders" are going on public record in favor of same-sex unions and marriages. A number of states have approved marriages for same-sex couples and more will give approval in the future. Even the present resident of the White House in Washington DC has given his stamp of approval to marriage between persons of the same sex. The National Cathedral in Washington DC recently announced that same-sex marriages will be performed within that institution. Just a few days ago (as of the writing of this commentary) the Boy Scouts at the national level announced that the "ban on gays" is being reconsidered. That is most likely a preparatory word which tips us off that soon sodomites will have all the rights and privileges that go with active involvement in the Boy Scouts! So the pressure is mounting day by day - if you are Christian in your professed faith, you better accept these changes. All kind of reasoning is used to convince us that compromise is a good and healthy thing for all concerned due to our being a pluralistic society and our "diversity" will make us a much better and stronger culture, IF we don't refuse to go along and accept it all!
The extent of a Christian's compromising will depend on a number of things. First, our position on the holy Scriptures - are they God inspired and the absolute authority on all matters pertaining to our faith, our relationship with fellow humans, and our relationship to Almighty God Himself through His Son, Jesus Christ, as Savior and Lord? Or is the information contained within those pages simply the production of a number of very active minds with a lot of imagination thrown in for good measure? Second, are we disciplined in diligently searching the Scriptures on a daily basis along with the practice of daily prayer in order that we may grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ? Third, do I view other religions as being on an equal level with Christianity or is Christianity the only true faith and all other religious expressions in this world are totally false and deceptive? And fourth, do I agree that same-sex activity and relationships are just as legitimate as that existing within heterosexual relationships? Or do I take the position that God has drawn the boundaries of sexual expression and experience and this is strictly confined to the covenant of marriage between a male and a female?
To refuse to compromise on such matters as those just mentioned is to open yourself up to attack in times to come. The worst of all possible accusations will be made against the Christian who attempts to be faithful to his/her Lord and clear teaching of the Scriptures. Extreme negative labels will be used in describing who and what you are by those angered due to you not accepting and digesting the lies and the deception such as they have already done.
In those times of extreme pressure to just "go along in order to get along" it is very wise to keep in mind statements by Jesus and His promises to those who overcome this world with its many pressures, temptations, and deceptions:"Blessed are those who are persecuted for doing what God approves of. The kingdom of heaven belongs to them. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, lie, and say all kinds of evil things about you because of me. Rejoice and be glad because you have a great reward in heaven! The prophets who lived before you were persecuted in these ways." (Matthew 5:10-12 - God's Word)
"To him who overcomes, I will grant to sit down with me on my throne, as I myself have overcome and have taken my seat with my Father on his throne." (Revelation 3:21 - Centenary Translation of NT - see other promises to overcomers in Revelation 2 & 3)
"Her priests have violated My law and profaned My holy things; they have not distinguished between the holy and unholy, nor have they made known the difference between the unclean and the clean; and they have hidden their eyes from My Sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them. Her princes in her midst are like wolves tearing the prey, to shed blood, to destroy people, and to get dishonest gain. Her prophets plastered them with untempered mortar, seeing false visions, and divining lies for them, saying, 'Thus says the Lord GOD,' when the LORD had not spoken. The people of the land have used oppressions, committed robbery, and mistreated the poor and needy; and they wrongfully oppress the stranger. So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one. Therefore I have poured out My indignation on them; I have consumed them with the fire of My wrath; and I have recompensed their deeds on their own heads," says the Lord GOD. --- Ezekiel 22:26-31
"The instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, to pull down, and to destroy it, if that nation against whom I have spoken turns from its evil, I will relent of the disaster that I thought to bring upon it. And the instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it, if it does evil in My sight so that it does not obey My voice, then I will relent concerning the good with which I said I would benefit it." --- Jeremiah 18:7-10
A Significant Selah Moment!
O LORD, how long shall I cry, and You will not hear? even cry out to You, "Violence!" And You will not save. Why do You show me iniquity, and cause me to see trouble? For plundering and violence are before me; there is strife, and contention arises. Therefore the law is powerless, and justice never goes forth. For the wicked surround the righteous; therefore perverse judgment proceeds.
Habakkuk 1:2-2 (NKJV)
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness....
It is time for You to act, O LORD, for they have regarded Your law as void. Therefore I love Your commandments more than gold, yes, than fine gold! Therefore all Your precepts concerning all things I consider to be right; I hate every false way.
Romans 1:18; Psalm 119:126-128 NKJV

A pistol-packing grandmother is set to become Australia's oldest Olympian in 28 years after earning selection in the shooting team for the Athens Games.
At an age when many of her contemporaries are starting to slow down, 56-year-old Annette Woodward has her finger on the trigger and her sights set on Olympic gold.
"I think it just shows what self-belief can do," Woodward told Reuters. "Because of my age I didn't really think I could make the team so I'm pretty pleased with what I've done."
Woodward's selection for the 25m pistol event for Athens was as remarkable as it was unlikely.
Not only did she come out of retirement to make the team, but she will also become the oldest person to represent Australia at an Olympics since equestrian Bill Roycroft won a three-day event bronze medal at Montreal in 1976 aged 61.
A mother of six, Woodward had never held a gun, let alone fired one, when she suddenly became interested in the sport after watching the 52-year-old Patricia Dench win bronze at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles.
Inspired by her compatriot, Woodward decided she too wanted to be an Olympian. She first tried archery but did not like it so went down to her local shooting club and asked if she could have a try.
"Like a lot of people I was frightened of guns, I thought it was all cops and robbers stuff," she said. "But I hit the target with my very first shot and I was hooked straight away."
Woodward quickly set about making up for lost time. She made the Victoria state team a year later but it was not until 1990, when the last of her children had been enrolled in school, that she started to take the sport seriously.
A natural talent, she won two gold medals at the 1994 Commonwealth Games in Canada and represented Australia at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, finishing 20th.
She won a third gold medal at the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur but retired immediately to nurse her husband who had been diagnosed with cancer. He died in 1999.
"I couldn't do it any more when I lost my husband," Woodward said. "I just didn't have the ability to concentrate any more. I couldn't even stand on the line without thinking about him so I had to give it away."
Not long after her husband's premature death, a thief broke into Woodward's home and stole her shooting medals, though they were later discovered in a rubbish bin.
To help her deal with her grief, Woodward poured her energies into her job as a radiographer but after missing the Sydney Olympics and the 2002 Commonwealth Games she decided on a comeback.
"I really needed to make a comeback. I didn't want to leave the sport the way I had," she said. "I knew I had to learn to start dealing with things and getting back on the line was an important part of it."
Woodward initially planned to start training for a possible career in coaching but regained her form so quickly that she began to think about Athens. Now a grandmother, she knew that time was running out but she turned back the clock to earn her spot in the team and a place in history.

Phonvert has a plan to convert old smartphones into IoT nodes
Pretty cool idea and worth a try!
As humanity creates more and more smartphones each year there is an unintended glut of still capable yet less desirable one-year-old or two-year-old smartphones that take the backseat to new models. While many of these retired smartphones still work and have usable sensors like cameras, accelerometers, touch screens and bluetooth radios, large swaths of them remain unused or, worse yet, end up in landfills.
At SXSW 2016, I spoke with the leader of the Phonvert project, Tomo Kihara, and he pointed me to research from IDC "that more than 280 million working smartphones were replaced without being recycled last year."
With this info in mind, Tomo along with Keisuke Shiro, Kosuke Takahashi, and Seibe Takahashi founded Phonvert—an open source software platform that can convert retired smartphones into usable IoT (Internet of Things) nodes.
You install Phonvert onto your old smartphone and then you can make it usable and valuable again for a variety of tasks like: Fridge Cam,…

Kevin Bizier waited 26 fights before he crossed the border for his first U.S. fight.
For Bizier, the wait proved rewarding as the native of Canada scored a technical knockout victory over previously-unbeaten Fredrick Lawson in the main event of a card late Saturday at Miccosukee Resort and Gaming.
From the opening bell, Bizier (25-2, 17 KOs) applied repeated pressure, keeping Lawson on the defensive with punishing shots to the body. Bizier eventually expanded his punch arsenal as he rocked Lawson (24-1) with combinations to the head.
Bizier sent Lawson through the ropes with a right to the head in the fifth round for the fight's only knockdown.

In the minutes rest before the 11th round, Lawson's trainer Abel Sanchez instructed referee Sam Burgos to stop the bout. It was revealed later that Lawson had suffered a broken jaw.
"Pressure -that was our plan from the beginning," Bizier said.
Earlier, Miami resident Breidis Prescott won a convincing unanimous decision over Brazil's Claudienei Lacerda.
Using his height and reach advantage, Prescott (29-7) outpointed Lacerda with lead left jabs and straight rights to the head during the eight-round junior-middleweight bout. Prescott solidified his victory when he floored Lacerda (17-13) with a lead left jab and straight right to the head in the third round for the fight's only knockdown.
All three judges scored the bout for Prescott, 80-71, 79-72 and 78-73.
"Although the fight could have ended by knockout, we took our time and avoided his wild-throwing shots," Prescott said. "After the knockdown, we decided to fight the rest of the bout by maintaining distance."
Prescott did not use Saturday's performance as a motivator to overcome his split decision loss against Lawson in March at Hialeah Park and Casino.
"To be honest with you, I felt the winner against Lawson," Prescott said. "Because of that result, he was given the better opportunity (Saturday) instead of me. But that is boxing. I still believe I have great opportunities coming my way."
In other bouts: junior-welterweights Keita Obara and Walter Castillo fought to a draw; junior-middleweight Slam Kanat knocked out Jonathan Batista at 2:14 of the first round; light-heavyweight Victor De Rocha scored a technical knockout over Marlon Farr at 46 seconds of the first round; welterweight Courtney Jackson scored a TKO over Elijah Linder at 1:18 of the first round; featherweight Miguel Del Valle scored a TKO over Yuandale Evans at 2:38 of the first round; welterweight Bruno Bredician won by unanimous decision over J. Clifford Gray.

In a house or apartment that has a spacious room, then it must needs be placed a divider. It is intended that in the room look neater and does not seem empty. We take the example of a studio apartment. With only one room, then all the rooms together in one room. In general, both houses and apartments consist of bedroom, living room, dining room, kitchen, and bathroom. If all the parts are in one room, it will be neat and attractive if each one is given a seal with room divider. To get a lot of advantages and benefits, the room divider should be multi-functional design. There are two types of design of the room divider, which is permanent and mobile. If the material room divider made of wood, then we can choose a design with many rack or shelves. If in design with many rack, then in addition as insulation between rooms in the apartment or a house, the type of room divider can we functioned as bookshelves, shoe racks, shelves for accessories, the wine, and more. If it is permanent, then we can take advantage become a garden wall, or other. Or it could also be utilized into an indoor fireplace. In addition to the example mentioned earlier, there is still a lot more creative ideas in making a multi function room divider.

Sunday Sermon: The Olympic Spirit
Yes, even my bloody Blog is going to be infected with a touch of the Olympics. Right now here in the UK you can't bloody take a breath without somebody trying to sell you a product based off of the fact they've sponsored the Olympics. Coke being the official 'drink' of the Olympics and McDonalds being the official 'restaurant' of the Olympics does bring a wry smile to my face. I have to be honest I was more than a little bit cynical about the Olympics and the rampant commercialism that seemed to come along with the biggest show on earth... perhaps it's P&G announcing every 10 fecking second on my TV that they're proud sponsors of moms that finally did it for me. Do they not know what the word sponsor means? I mean if the person you are supposedly 'sponsoring' is having to pay you for your products that's not sponsorship! They've been doing my head in for months now, and that's the last thing my head needs right now. So I sat down to watch the opening ceremony, wandering what new and wonderful ways my nation would find of embarrassing itself...
And yeah OK Danny Boyle's 'extravaganza' didn't make that much sense to even us Brits, and at times I found it utterly bewildering and yes, cringe-worthy, but you know what... there was one part of it that made me sit up and take notice. No it wasn't James Bond with the Queen... I found that rather odd. Nor was it Sir Paul singing Hey Jude, no, after all the fireworks, the shamelessly socialist overtones, 50 foot Voldermort's and glowing beds (WTF was all that about?) came the athletes pledge or oath. If you didn't stop up to watch it, and I can't blame you if you didn't, it's reproduced below:
"In the name of all the competitors I promise that we shall take part in these Olympic Games, respecting and abiding by the rules which govern them, committing ourselves to a sport without doping and without drugs, in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of sport and the honor of our teams."
I do wander just how many of the athletes who will take part in the Olympics this summer will honestly live up to those ideals embodied in that oath. They are quite pure and noble ambitions, and in my experience very little of humanity is pure and noble.
But I like that those are the standards to which, we will hold our competitors. Realistically that for me was the only part of the Olympic opening ceremony that caught my attention. There is something noble about the individual athlete trying to do their best, to go faster, further or to be stronger or more accurate, to try and push the boundaries of what the human body is capable of. Pierre de Coubertin said this of the games:
"The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part; the essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well."
Now, it sounds to me a bit like loser talk to me, but he had a point. Jesse Owens once said something like the 'only victory worth anything is the victory over yourself', I can't quite remember the exact quote, and I don't really have the time to find it as I've already been sat in front of the computer writing this out for too long... however, Jesse was a smart cookie and one hell of a competitor and if he believed that, then you know what the rest of us should sit up and take notes. He believed it was about getting better and personal achievement, about always trying your best and pushing yourself, and I admire that mentality.
So where am I heading with all this? Well I've often heard gamers talk of the implied contract between us when we play our games. I've often spoken about it with my friends, most of us are relatively competitive, but for us it's party about the journey you have with a game, your own personal improvement. Well what would a gamers oath look like? What ideals would we hold ourselves to? What things are important to us as a community? What is important to you? I've been thinking about this a lot lately and the Olympics, and that oath just brought it sharper into focus. I've said on countless occasions that our hobby takes at least two to tango, and I believe therefore it is an almost collaborative event when a game takes place. Even if we are both aiming to wipe the floor with our opponents. There are ways of doing it and maybe sometimes some of us forget that at times, we forget we're both meant to have fun and that yes there is a competitive element, and I wouldn't want it any other way, but there should also be a bit of fair play. We should also acknowledge that there are other ways of playing, narrative games, campaigns and that these are just as valid as the straight up pitched battle. So if you were writing a wargamers oath what would it look like? I'm going to put my version up next Sunday, but I'll be interested to see what you guys come up with in the meantime. Peace out!

I think I'd nab Newbolt for mine: "Play up! play up! and play the game!"ReplyDelete
My favourite bit of Olympic sponsorship has been McDonald's. Apparently, if one buys a large meal, they will give you a special Coca Cola glass. In some way this is supporting the efforts of some highly trained, physically fit athletes. I laughed quite a bit at that!Replies
It's arguably the best bit of the Olympics for me. Watching multinational conglomerates try to link their products in some really tenuous way to the Olympics. I love it.Delete
dont forget the free wristband too ! im wondering if it makes you run quicker ?ReplyDeleteReplies
Now that depends if you make the wrist band out of 'red' because red ones go faster... even though red paint is actually normally heavier than most other paint colours because it requires more pigment to get a consistent coverage. Am I over thinking this now?Delete
"I will learn the rules, according to what the rulebook says, not what I *think* the rulebook says."ReplyDelete
"I will help the guy learning to play by offering balanced suggestions, not just suggestions that help me to win."
"I will pay attention to my personal hygiene. Deodorant, soap and the shower are my friends."Replies
Some good ideas in there. Some I'd thought of, others I hadn't. You'll see my results this Sunday.Delete
I will respect my opponent as a person and as a competitor and remember that this is entertainment for two and play as such.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yep, words to that effect found their way into my gamers oath too.Delete
My mother tongue isn't English, but I think it should sound like that:ReplyDelete
"I promise that I shall take part in the game doing my best, respecting my opponent and following the rules which govern it, committing myself to a game without cheating, in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the pleasure and enjoyment of myself and my opponent."Replies
Yep that's a pretty good first stab actually. My first go at it read pretty similar to yours actually.Delete
The one above says it all, I would just add,ReplyDelete
I will not play with unpainted minis on a makeshift terrain.Replies
Yeah, I agree I think Rob89 did a pretty good job actually. I too though would like to see something about unpainted miniatures, although right now I'd fall foul of that with a lot of games that I'm playing, as I would the makeshift terrain.Delete
This one is complex. There needs to be a line about treating your opponants Space Barbies as you would like yours to be treated or something to higher effect to prevent the shoebox-army kid trashing stuff, something about RAW/RAI arguements to be left at home (unless trolling GW staffers), a bit about belts is highly recommended by a friend of mine as the sight of hall full of "hairy man crack" isn't exactly his cup of tea.... heck, there's a lot to this hobby that is hard to codify succintly.ReplyDeleteReplies
"I will not touch another man's dice or models without his express permission"?Delete
That works, but you still have to work out the belt issue then. It's going to be something massive like the Appostle's Creed or something...Delete
Yep it is a fairly hefty tome Arquinsiel. But hopefully it's one that be worthwhile in the end.Delete

I solemnly swear that I will play in such a manner that, whether I win or lose, my opponents will look forward to our next encounter.ReplyDeleteReplies
That's not a bad sentiment actually. I might pinch some of that.Delete
"I promise to play this game in accordance with the spirit in which it was designed and created, in recognition of the close bonds of friendship which bind us as gamers to this table [and in doing so showing the greatest respect to the Fallen of this battle which we now recreate*]"ReplyDelete
*Additional oath for historical wargamers!Replies
Hmm. I had a discussion about this months and months and months ago with some FoW players. They were concerned about a young lad at the club who didn't seem to grasp the importance or gravity of re-enacting battles from WWII and was getting a bit too over the top with his "theatrics" shall we say. Thing is no one had tackled him on it, when they did he was mortified that people thought he was being disrespectful to the memory of fallen soldiers everywhere. So perhaps there also needs to be something about open and honest communications too.Delete
How about: I will not touch another man's dice or models without his express permission ,except if he exposes his hairy man crack ,in which case I will drop them in there one by one until he pulls up his pants.Replies
I don't know about that one. Seems a tad extreme to me. Besides with some of the cracks I've seen it'd take a 3000 point skaven army to fill them.Delete
*shudders at the memory*
"The goal of the game is to win, the point of the game is to have fun. If one of us doesn't have fun, we both lose. I will remember this and strive my best to make the game as pleasant and entertaining as possible for all involved. Both as regards to the game and my person and conduct."ReplyDelete
Add stipends as needed locally about hygiene (Soap shall be my ally), sportsmanship (Those across the table are not my enemies, they are my fellows. I shall be considerate to those I play with.), respect (I will ask permission before I touch. Be not an Asshat), etc...
That should cover most bases. ;-)
It's pretty close to what I try to hold myself to with regards to gaming. The way I see it, you do this for your enjoyment, so you also assume the responsibility to make the game enjoyable to those you game with.Replies
I think most gamers hold themselves to some sort of internal code of ethics, and I think groups of gamers generally tend to hammer out behaviour issues between themselves, whether openly or tacitly. I think I'm working up a pretty good one though now having read through it again this morning.Delete

No updates for a long time... Is everybody alright? Have you just given up blogging or has something bad happened?ReplyDelete
Hope you are OK.Replies
I'm guessing the cat is well and truly out of the bag now, I've not been feeling 100% this past month. I've had other things I really, really need to deal with so I've not felt able to sit down and give the Blog the attention it deserves. So rather than throwing up any old crap just to fill the dead air I took a bit of a break and tried to rest up a bit. Also with some of the flak I received off of some people for the Misogyny Sunday Sermon I felt like taking a break might have been a wise thing to do, so coupled with feeling a bit under the weather I felt it wise to just step away.Delete

Social Media Marketing
- A major record label asked me to develop a marketing plan to help one of its artists, a breakout star from 'American Idol,' achieve mainstream success. Informed by online conversation monitoring tools and social media, I delivered a strategy document that revealed insights for how to best leverage the artist's core audience along with suggestions for advertising, philanthropy and professional partnerships. The artist went on to a Grammy nomination and best-selling albums, and still tours worldwide.
Social Media Strategy & Reputation Management
- A luxury appliance brand with a negative reputation for reliability and service was apprehensive about opening up a public dialogue with customers using social media channels.
- To address this, I worked with the company over a period of 18 months to create a social media strategy in which online conversation monitoring, Facebook and Twitter were used in conjunction with in-depth analysis to identify and communicate with unhappy product owners. I also provided training assistance to employees who would be staffing the brand's Facebook and Twitter pages, and helped guide the company through a product recall.
- Following implementation of my recommendations, social media mentions almost tripled and positive consumer sentiment of the brand increased from 7 percent to 96 percent. In addition, the company's Facebook page currently has more than 700,000 fans and is used daily for branded conversations with current and prospective product owners. The Twitter page is now routinely used to successfully solve service issues, receiving accolades from consumers and prominent bloggers alike.

Reblogged this on The Epicurious Texan and commented:
I interrupt this blog to bring you a shameless plug for another blog of mine…
I'm not the most trendy person on the planet–by any stretch of the imagination–but recently I've been seeing friends on social media post fun pictures with the following hashtag #100happydays.
Finally, curiosity got the better of me; I googled it and found this website 100 Happy Days.
It's pretty simple: for 100 days, log 1 picture of something that made you happy that day–and then watch the magic happen!
According to the website:
People successfully completing the challenge claimed to:
– Start noticing what makes them happy every day;
– Be in a better mood every day;
– Start receiving more compliments from other people;
– Realize how lucky they are to have the life they have;
– Become more optimistic;
– Fall in love during the challenge.
Even when the challenge is over the collected 100 happy moments can always remind you about the beauty of your life.
I think it allows us to stop and appreciate the beauty in each and every day. Most of us have amazingly wonderful lives, but we're always so focused on the things we didn't do or don't have or can't achieve that we don't appreciate it. I'm not sure about you, but I know I tend to do that all the time.
At the start of this year, one of my New Year's Resolutions was to be nicer to myself and I decided to start this challenge as a reminder that despite the ups, the downs, and all the uncertainty, life for me really is good. I also thought it was a great platform for blog posts. While I originally thought about posting them to The Epicurious Texan, I realized that since the majority of my posts would be NYC related this would be the perfect opportunity to breathe new life into this sadly neglected blog of mine.
And so, without further ado–I bring you my 100 Happy Days!

The Moon is moving against the backdrop of constellation of Taurus giving us a slow and steady approach to things today. There's much emphasis on grounding, getting comfortable and developing amiability and peace when it comes to our various stresses.
Our overarching desire right now is to make sense through the senses. Connecting through touch, food, smell, the beauty of vibration and sound and the subtle recognition of all the sublime aspects of our earthly experience.
Potentials for this energy are indulging in the following :
Good food
Good wine
Beautiful people, friends
Sweet, sugary things.
Growing Something
Making Something
Desire to Sing
Nature as teacher, signs from the nature Kingdom
Harmony and Symmetry
A Taurus moon makes us want to earth our desires, make contact with real living things, people, places and feel good!
Abraham Hicks says "It is good to feel good".

The fourth quarter began with a sharp stock market sell-off and spike in volatility. By mid-October, U.S. stocks had fallen nearly 10% (in intraday trading) from their previous high before rebounding and closing the month in positive territory and at a record high. Overall, large-cap stocks rose 2.4% for October, bringing their year-to-date gain to 10.8%. Smaller-company stocks, which have lagged for much of the year, also rallied in the last weeks of the month, gaining 6.6% for October and tipping into positive territory for the year (up 2% through October 31).
The month's dramatic fall and subsequent rise suggest a market significantly influenced by the ongoing flow of news. In the first part of the month, stocks declined as investors seemed to grow more concerned over a range of big-picture worries including the global economic outlook (with Europe, Japan, and China all showing signs of faltering growth), eurozone deflation risk, and uncertainty surrounding monetary policy (i.e., next steps for global central bankers). What was striking is that none of these concerns were wholly new; moreover, the month's subsequent rally occurred largely against the same set of headwinds, albeit with some new developments that may or may not have longer-term impact. Among the news that helped shift the U.S. market's tenor in the second half of the month was better-than-expected third quarter earnings for U.S. corporations and the first data release of U.S. GDP growth for the third quarter, coming in at 3.5%. Overall, the U.S. economy has averaged around 2% growth since the recovery started in mid-2009. While this is well below the average economic recovery, it appears increasingly attractive as other major economies continue to struggle.
Central bankers also made news in the month's second half. In the United States, the Federal Reserve announced the conclusion of its QE bond-buying program as expected but also adjusted its post-meeting written statement to acknowledge further positive progress in economic growth and employment. Nonetheless, the Fed maintained its statement that it expects interest rates to stay low for a considerable period of time following the conclusion of its bond buying. At the very end of the month, the Bank of Japan surprised economists and investors by announcing additional stimulus, increasing its asset purchases to 80 trillion yen (about $730 billion). Separately, Japan's major pension fund announced it would invest more in stocks. In response, Japanese stocks rallied and the yen fell relative to the dollar. Expectations are high that the European Central Bank will eventually undertake outright QE (asset purchases) in the face of very low inflation and subpar growth. The bottom line for many investors is that even as the Fed begins to scale back its support, monetary stimulus remains a global support for stocks.
The divergence in economic outlooks (reflected in central bank policies) has contributed to strong returns for the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies. As was true in the third quarter, this factor was a performance drag on international stock returns for U.S.-dollar-based investors. Looking at international stocks in aggregate, October was negative. More specifically, Europe suffered losses in both local-currency and U.S.-dollar terms, while Japan rose in local-currency terms, thanks to its end-of-month rally, but was negative in U.S.-dollar terms. Emerging markets were positive, however, as the index's largest components—China, India, and Brazil—gained. The stronger dollar is among potential clouds to the U.S. economic forecast, as this could at some point crimp exports. It's also the case that slower growth for major trading partners could be another headwind: China's growth slowed during October, with third quarter GDP growth coming in at 7.3% (below the government's official 7.5% target); Japan's economic growth stalled in the second quarter following implementation of a sales-tax hike earlier this spring; and Europe's economic growth is barely positive.
The bond market's October performance was the mirror image of stocks'. After rallying at the beginning of the month—sending the 10-year Treasury yield briefly below 2% as prices rose—bonds fell later in the month and the 10-year yield ended at 2.335%. All totaled, the core bond market proxy we follow rose 0.9% and high-yield bonds rose 1.1%.

"I think between us we can change a wheel in ten minutes."
February 11th, 2015 (07:20 am)
Just caught up with the last episode in the current series of Last Tango in Halifax. Thank you, BBC, for making such a consistently wonderful programme.
(Not gonna lie, there's something rather exquisite about Sarah Lancashire turning up 20 minutes late for a wedding covered in horse dung. The Beeb: no place for Hollywood glamour...)
Delighted to know that a fourth series is on the cards.
