I've taken awhile to write this blog post because I think it really is such a hard topic.
Suffering is such a difficult thing to understand.
It's also a very sensitive topic because of the current pain you may be going through, as well as the suffering that we know people are experiencing around the world.
So I don't want to give trite answers, and I also want to learn and express the truth as well as possible.
Why So Much Suffering?
Actually, one of the main objections people give for the existence of a loving God is the question of "why is there so much suffering?" or "why wouldn't a loving God stop the suffering?"
I believe these questions are good to ask and seek answers to, if they come from a genuine place of wanting to know.
We could also ask in relation to this blog topic, "If God wants us to enjoy our lives, then why is there so much suffering?"
I have to be honest and say that I don't know all the answers.
So I hope these points don't seem simplistic, especially if you or someone you care about is going through a lot of suffering.
And I also hope these ideas can be a starting point for you as you seek answers on the subject of suffering.
Please let me know in the comments if you have any other thoughts on this.
(By the way, if you are looking for a deeper dive into this, have a look at the books listed at the bottom of this post).
Here are some of my current thoughts on suffering:
1. A Lot of Responsibility is in Human Hands
God has given tremendous responsibility to the human race.
Here's one Bible verse that expresses that:
Genesis 1:28 (NLT) Then God blessed them and said, "Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground."
This is a huge gift, which used rightly can create tremendous joy but used wrongly can bring tremendous pain.
Even though God commanded us to "love our neighbours as ourselves", this is certainly not what often happens.
Parents, who are in charge of their children and influence their lives tremendously, can hurt and abuse their kids, causing incalculable pain.
Government officials can take advantage of their people and cause great suffering.
And strangers can step in and change other's lives by doing horrible things.
Because humans often choose to act with hate and stupidity, there is tremendous pain in the world.
(Suffering also happens through natural disasters and other unexplainable reasons, which I believe is part of living in a broken world, though it's a concept that is harder to understand.)
2. Accountability for Suffering
God is a very loving, merciful God, but He going to hold each person accountable for what he or she has done.
Because he loves the human race, people are not going to get away with hurting each other forever. This is a little scary, but can also be very comforting.
Christians believe that Jesus' death payed for our wrong-doings so that we can have forgiveness and new life if we will accept it–but at the same time, all of us do reap the results of our actions in this life.
So, not only does that gives us even more incentive to treat others well, it's comforting to know that people who continually harm others are all going to face Him and give an account for their actions one day ….and justice will be done.
Here's a verse that expresses that:
"Don't be misled: No one makes a fool of God. What a person plants, he will harvest. The person who plants selfishness, ignoring the needs of others—ignoring God!—harvests a crop of weeds. All he'll have to show for his life is weeds! But the one who plants in response to God, letting God's Spirit do the growth work in him, harvests a crop of real life, eternal life. " Galatians 6:7-8 (MSG)
3. Redemption Makers
God wants us–His people– to be His hands and feet and bring love and joy and justice to the world now.
He wants us to help bring joy to others' lives by using our time and talents to make the world a better place, including rescuing others from injustice.
So if we look around, wondering why God isn't doing anything to relieve suffering, we should realize that He is asking us over and over again to reach out to help others and show His love to them.
Although God can and sometimes does intervene Himself, He wants to do it through us–through our prayers, words, and actions.
We need to prayerfully ask how we can help and then take those little steps to do so, trusting Him to help us.
Eph. 2:10 "In Christ Jesus, God made us new people so that we would spend our lives doing the good things he had already planned for us to do."
4. Helping Others Brings Great Joy
When we do use our time and talents to help others, this actually brings joy and tremendous enjoyment of our lives.
It's true that we can be overly busy doing all kinds of good stuff that overwhelms us and brings stress and unhappiness.
But if we'll ask God to lead us in the steps He wants us to take, and prioritize those things, we'll likely find life so much more enjoyable.
5. Jesus Suffers with Us
Jesus chooses to feels our pain as if it were His own and this can be comforting.
He suffers with us and whenever "the least of these"–including ourselves– is hurting or in need physically or emotionally, it's as if He is hurting or in need.
Even when it doesn't seem like He cares, He is closer than we could ever imagine, encouraging us, comforting us, and suffering with us.
He will never leave us or forget our pain.
That's also why He said that people who relieve others' suffering, will be relieving His suffering. And this is a mark of a true follower of His (Matt. 25: 31- 46).
He also brings comfort to us in our suffering.
Perhaps through a friend, through something we read, a "coincidence" that happens, or an encouraging thought we have from him, the Lord doesn't leave us comfortless.
2 Cor. 1: 3 says, "What a wonderful God we have –He is the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the one who so wonderfully comforts us in our hardships and trials…"
6. God will Use Our Pain for Good in Our Lives
God promises to give us "double for our trouble".
This is something Joyce Meyers says and I love it. If we will trust Him to help us, He will eventually bring us so much more than we could imagine–redeeming our pain and giving us great joy.
This will definitely happen in heaven–where we will continually enjoy life to the max!
And we are also often promised something of this on earth–if we will trust Him to do so.
Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
7. Suffering Can Make Us Better People
Our pain can be used to refine us into something better.
If we use our painful times to lean in to God, and ask Him to help it draw us closer to Him and to refine our characters, we'll come out better than before–like diamonds in the rough.
This will help us reflect His loving character and help others all the more.
Our pain also helps us to empathize with others and to desire to encourage and help them.
So again, God can redeem our suffering so that we are filled with joy and bring joy to others.
James 1: 2 -4 (NIV) Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
8. We can Find Joy even in the midst of Suffering
This is a difficult one.
Even when we are suffering, God wants to help us to have His joy on the inside.
This doesn't mean we need to try to fake joy and pretend to be happy despite our pain.
But if we ask God to help us know His genuine joy in the midst of our own suffering, over time He can make that happen.
This is certainly something that I need to pray about, too.
It may take time, but we can learn this with His help.
Then, no matter what happens, we can be filled with His joy and peace and feel content.
Phil 4: 11 -13 "…I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
Some Summarizing Thoughts:
So those are some of the thoughts I've had about suffering. Again, I hope I don't sound too flippant. Suffering is a serious topic to wrestle with and I think I will continue to wrestle with it. How about you?
When it comes to enjoying our lives, I guess the main point is that I believe: yes, God does want us to enjoy our lives.
But I think one of the main ways he wants us to do so is through the fulfillment of using our talents, time, resources and even our own painful experiences to help to make others' lives better.
This can fill us with joy!
As I mentioned in the first post in this series, when we our use our lives unselfishly, not selfishly, it brings true joy and lasting enjoyment.
Here are some good books, if you want to explore this subject further:
Where Is God When It Hurts? by Philip Yancey
Enjoying Where You Are on the Way to Where You Are Going: Learning How to Live a Joyful Spirit-Led Life by Joyce Meyers
In the next blog in this series, I'll go into more detail about what enjoying your life would look like as you use your gifts and abilities to bring joy to others, having what Jesus described when He said, "I came so that everyone would have life, and have it in its fullest" (John 10:10 CEV).

|I blame the Ysgawen
The scene was set. Friends arrived. News was exchanged over a cup of tea as peas were shelled from their pods. Lots more chatting over a couple of beers as I lit the logs in the Rayburn and prepared the steak supper. Inside the oven some skinny chips, big mushrooms and tomatoes with garlic and pepper. As an afterthought, and a quick rummage in the deep freeze, I threw in a few onion rings. Searing hot griddle pan et voilá, a local feast was on the table.
There were compliments to the chef who modestly said it's all down to the ingredients but apologised for the onion rings which hadn't quite worked out. Then someone solved the mystery – these onion rings were made of squid. I blame the Ysgawen.

What a summer! It has been a busy one here at LGI Farms! Things are going great. I was in downtown Calgary, Canada a few weeks ago and I had a world agriculture business leader look at me and say: "I would trade you all my money, land, and assets to be twenty years old and entering the field of agriculture right now." I truly believe this. There is a bright future ahead for agriculture and I am excited to see what it holds!
In the last three months we built a high tunnel, finished a building, hosted a soil judging clinic, added 6 acres of corn, 5 pigs, 10 sheep, 200 mums, culled our cattle herd hard, spent a weekend with farm bureau, and I went to Canada for a week! All of this on top of the general farm chores and Amanda swapping jobs!
One of the biggest projects we just completed is a High Tunnel in which we will grow vegetables out of season. We just planted 250 tomato plants in it, and hope to have tomatoes in November and December. We also have cabbage, cauliflower, and lettuce in it. Look for a detailed write up on it in the future.
Amanda is currently growing about 120 mums. They are doing pretty good, but it has been an awful year for growing mums due to the cool cloudy weather. We have also been battling groundhogs(who knew??).
We added 5 pigs, and are looking at getting more. We will be selling whole and half shares of pork either delivered to the local slaughter house or delivered to you. If you are interested in purchasing one give us a call.
There are thousands of other things that we did, and I will let you know about them as time goes on. Days are getting shorter, which means more chances for us to write. People ask when the best time to catch us is, and my standard reply is: "After Dark!"
Here at LGI Farms, we believe diversity is the key(as you can tell). We have a lot of interesting things going on. Stop in and say hello sometime. We would love to show you around and answer any questions you may have.

Vote Once Per Day Per Device
DURHAM, N.C. – The "Splash Sister" dynamic duo of Lexie Brown and Rebecca Greenwell of the Duke women's basketball team were named finalists for the 2017-18 Senior CLASS Award Thursday. To be eligible for the award, student-athletes must be classified as NCAA Division I seniors and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence: community, classroom, character and competition.
An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School®, the Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their athletic platforms to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities.
Along with the Duke duo, others selected finalists include Ariel Atkins (Texas), Tyra Buss (Indiana), Emily Clemens (Western Illinois), Delaney Hodgins (Eastern Washington), Kaylee Jensen (Oklahoma State), Jackie Kemph (Saint Louis), Victoria Vivians (Mississippi State) and Gabby Williams (UConn).
A native of Suwanee, Ga., Brown currently leads the ACC in both points (20.4) and steals (3.6), while also averaging 4.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists. The 5-9 guard is one of the best all-around players in NCAA Division I and is the only player in NCAA power five conferences averaging 20.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.0 steals and hitting over 40.0 percent from three-point land. Her streak of 24 straight games with a three-pointer currently ranks third among power five conferences. Brown was a 2017 CoSIDA Academic All-America and ACC Women's Basketball Scholar-Athlete of the Year.
A two-time All-ACC selection, Greenwell is Duke's all-time leader in three-point field goals with 274, while ranking sixth on the ACC all-time charts. Greenwell has averaged 12.9 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1.5 assists on the season. The 6-1 guard has drained 46 three-pointers on the season for a 45.1 percentage, which ranks second in the ACC and 15th nationally. Greenwell is a two-time CoSIDA Academic All-District and three-time All-ACC Academic Team honoree.
The finalists were chosen by national media from the list of 30 women's candidates announced in January.
Nationwide fan voting begins immediately to help select the winner, and fans are encouraged to submit votes online at the Senior CLASS Award website through March 19. Fan votes will be combined with those of the media and Division I head coaches to determine the winners.
Duke has featured two winners of the Senior CLASS Award with Alison Bales (2007) and Alana Beard (2004) earning honors. The Blue Devil duo became the ninth and 10th finalists over the last 15 years.
The Senior CLASS Award recipient will be announced during the 2018 NCAA Women's Final Four®. For more information on each of the finalists, visit seniorCLASSaward.com.

Europe has denied market economy status to 13 Chinese footwear manufacturers. This moves the EU closer to imposing anti-dumping duties on shoe imports from China. The European Commission is still studying what it costs the Chinese to make shoes, to assess whether exports have been dumped on the European market. Lawyers say it is likely China's wares have been sold at below domestic prices, and will therefore be liable for extra duties.
Brussels began investigating last year. Italy had led complaints by EU states with shoe industries of their own. But Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands, with strong retail interests, want to avoid extra duties. EU retail lobbyists say the import tax would add seven euros to the price of each pair.

hahaha.. no lah. Just run for fun and run for good health. And run to challenge yourself.
Hey do you know by telling people what you wanna do, you're making a commitment and getting support? So I just wanna tell you guys that I've registered for the 10km marathon. Please support me. hahaha ;p
At first I wanted to sign up for the 5km fun run but then I changed my mind coz I felt that it would be too short. My current personal record at the threadmill is 3.5km in 32 minutes. Can that be counted as a record? Kasi can la beginner's record. hehehe... If I can run 3.5 km in 32 minutes and keep that pace, I can finish 5km in less than 50 minutes. Wouldn't that be too short? Lari sekejap je dah habis. *Berlagak seyy.. * --> Time limit dia 40 minutes pon tak sampai ada hati nak berlagak ;p
So I challenged myself to run for the 10km category. 10km only mah. It's not that far. ;p
The overall route. 10km marathon's route is the one in light blue color
The time limit for 10km is 1.5 hours. So I've gotta train! 61 days to go!

United States District Court, D. New Mexico
September 29, 2017
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff,v.NEW MEXICO STATE UNIVERSITY and NEW MEXICO STATE UNIVERSITY BOARD OF REGENTS, Defendants.
Fashing, United States Magistrate Judge
MATTER comes before the Court on defendants New Mexico State
University and New Mexico State University Board of
Regents' ("NMSU") motion for protective order
filed on August 24, 2017 (Doc. 106), and fully briefed on
September 22, 2017. Docs. 113, 117, 127, 128. NMSU requested
a hearing on the motion on September 22, 2017, which is
opposed by plaintiff, United States of America
("USA"). Docs. 129, 130. Having reviewed the
submissions of the parties and being fully advised in the
premises, the Court finds that a hearing is unnecessary and
will DENY NMSU's request for a hearing. The Court further
finds that NMSU's motion is not well taken and,
therefore, DENIES the motion.
Background and Procedural Posture
case arises from the allegations of pay discrimination by
NMSU based on gender in violation of Title VII. The USA
alleges that NMSU discriminated against Meaghan Harkins,
f/k/a Meaghan Gregory, by paying her less than her male
counterparts although they were performing similar
responsibilities for NMSU's track and field program.
See Doc. 1.
the course of discovery, disputes arose over NMSU's
responses to the USA's discovery requests. Having failed
to resolve their differences, the USA filed its First Motion
to Compel in February of 2017. Doc. 44. The Court held a
hearing on the USA's motion and granted the majority of
the relief sought by the USA. Doc. 78. In the Court's
order granting the USA's motion in part the Court ordered
3. With regard to requests for production, NMSU shall provide
to the United States a description of what reasonable
searches for documents have been performed, including, but
not limited to, specifying which email accounts have been
searched and what search terms, if any, were used;
4. If the United States objects to the adequacy of such
searches, NMSU shall meet and confer with the United States
in an attempt to reach agreement regarding what, if any,
additional searches should be conducted.
Id. at ¶ 3-4.
On July
28, 2017, NMSU submitted a letter to the USA that described
the scope of the searches conducted by NMSU "to locate
documents and information responsive to the United
States' Discovery Requests." Doc. 106-1 at 2. On
August 14, 2017, the USA responded to NMSU's letter
describing what the USA believed to be inadequacies in
NMSU's searches and deficiencies in their supplemental
responses to discovery requests. Doc. 106-2. After attempts
to resolve their disputes, the parties once again contacted
the Court for assistance. At a telephonic hearing on August
23, 2017, the parties raised the issue of the adequacy of
NMSU's searches and the Court requested additional
information in order to make an informed decision on the
matter. Doc. 104. Although the parties submitted their
respective correspondence as requested by the Court (Doc.
105), before the Court had an opportunity to follow up with
the parties, NMSU filed its motion for protective order. Doc.
Motions for Protective Order
to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c), a "court may,
for good cause, issue an order to protect a party or person
from annoyance, embarrassment, oppression, or undue burden or
expense." The decision to enter a protective order is
within the court's discretion. Thomas v. Int'l
Bus. Machs., 48 F.3d 478, 482 (10th Cir. 1995). The
Supreme Court recognizes that "[t]he trial court is in
the best position to weigh fairly the competing needs and
interests of parties affected by discovery. The unique
character of the discovery process requires that the trial
court have substantial latitude to fashion protective
orders." Seattle Times Co. v. Rhinehart, 467
U.S. 20, 36 (1984) (internal citation omitted). The party
seeking a protective order bears the burden of establishing
good cause. Velasquez v. Frontier Med. Inc., 229
F.R.D. 197, 200 (D.N.M. 2005). To demonstrate good cause, the
movant must make "a particular and specific
demonstration of fact, as distinguished from stereotyped and
conclusory statements." Id. (quoting Gulf
Oil Co. v. Bernard, 452 U.S. 89, 102 n.16 (1981)).
"If a motion for protective order is wholly or partly
denied, the court may, on just terms, order that any party or
person provide or permit discovery." Fed.R.Civ.P.
In its
motion, NMSU argues that the discovery sought by the USA,
particularly with regard to the additional requested
searches, is not proportional to the needs of the case. Doc.
106. NMSU complains that it has produced more than 14, 000
pages of documents and performed more than 20 searches.
Id. at 3, 4; Doc. 127 at 3, 7. The government
responds by explaining that the searches conducted by NMSU
are inadequate to produce responsive documents. Doc.
117-1.[1] "There are presently only three
discovery disputes remaining between the parties." Doc.
117-1 at 1. The disputes involve the adequacy of NMSU's
key word searches for documents responsive to the USA's
requests for production ("RFP") numbers 8, 10,
and 24.
case presents the question of how parties should search and
produce electronically stored information ("ESI")
in response to discovery requests. "[T]he best solution
in the entire area of electronic discovery is cooperation
among counsel." William A. Gross Const.
Assocs.,Inc. v. Am. Mfrs. Mut. Ins. Co., 256
F.R.D. 134, 135 (S.D.N.Y. 2009). Cooperation prevents lawyers

She recently came forward and kind of recanted her statement about some of the things she said in her book." Gotti: "I don't wanna be anywhere near Superhead. I'm really good friends with Gail and I said, 'Gail, how y'all not having no rappers on, but you let the c**ksucker on there? You wanted to do all of this though."Gotti: "Here's the real.

Mr. Sand Man Sent me a Beach
He sprinkled sand like you wouldn't believe. I went to inspect the new septic system at the camp. We now have a hay covered beach want-a-be right next to the deck. It's hard to get all freaked out over sand, but this is weird. I wasn't expecting the side yard to be 3 feet higher. Truth be told I didn't really think about it. I just figured the lawn would be a mess and we would deal with it.
It needs pink flamingos and a pony to eat the hay.

AFA Upset that McDonald's Sponors SF Pride July 29, 2008Posted by truthspew in AFA, Gay Pride, Gay rights, objectionable material, prudes, puritanical, religion, secular society, stupidity.
Tags: AFA
Oh this is great. The AFA has their nads in a lather again. This time its over McDonald's being a sponsor in the San Francisco Gay Pride parade and festival.
McDonald's sponsors gay pride parade
Dear Truthspew,
McDonald's says they "stand by and support our people to live and work in a society free of discrimination and harassment," here is what they ! won't tell you. McDonald's helped sponsor the San Francisco Gay Pride Parade. Want to see what McDonald's considers worthy of support? Click here. (Warning: These photos are extremely offensive and graphic.)
AFA asked McDonald's to remain neutral in the culture war. The company refused, stating they will continue to support the gay agenda including same-sex marriage. AFA has called for a boycott of McDonald's restaurants.
McDonald's spokesman Bill Whitman told the Washington Post that those (even Christians) who oppose homosexual marriage are motivated by hate, saying that "… hatred has no place in our culture."
This boycott is not about hiring homosexuals or how homosexual employees are treated. It is about McDonald's choosing to put the full resources of their corporation behind promoting the homosexual agenda.
To help promote the gay agenda, McDonald's paid $20,000 to become an official "organizational ally and corporate partner" of the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce and secure a seat on the group's board of directors. The NGLCC lobbies against laws protecting marriage as between a man and a woman.
Get ready for the link to the images they find so shocking. First of all, in only one picture do I see a gent with it all hanging out. The rest of the pix have genitalia covered. It's just they object to showing so much skin I suppose.
They even put up this warning:
WARNING: The images below contain male full-frontal nudity. Please be aware and exercise caution before viewing these images. If you are under 18, please leave this page!
Ok, you've been warned. Prepare to be scandalized.
Note that at the very bottom of the pix is one of a little girl with a balloon and the caption reads "And, sadly, yes. This little girl was exposed to everything you see above. Thanks, McDonald's."
Yes, thank you McDonald's for not caving in to the demands of a bunch of religious fuckwits. Because that is precisely what the people at the AFA are, they are the people who would like to force their religious world view on the rest of us.
Christianity has had a roughly two millennium chance to get things right and they've failed miserably at the task. It is time for us to move past the religious bullshit and embrace a concept called personal responsibility.
Move toward spirituality and that spirit tells you to love one another, not start angry pogroms because a man has sex with a man, or a woman with a woman, or even a man with a woman. You'd be surprised, some of the more mentally unbalanced in the AFA think that even straight people shouldn't have sex, or at least not sex that they've put the AFA stamp of approval upon.
I think we still need Gay Pride (Yes, I know, LGBTQ….) because every day we're surrounded by straight pride, including the asinine blabbering of the people at the AFA. We see PDA's, we see it in the majority of literature, television, movies, etc.
And then there is the homophobic attitude of the AFA. I guarantee you there's more than one closeted homo in that organization. Look at the track record of others who were vociferously anti-gay. I'll use Ted Haggard as an example. Yep, don't piss off a gay hustler is the only advice I could give to Teddy Boy. Look at the most homophobic congressmen who've been caught with pants down and worshiping at the altar of the cock.
We're EVERYWHERE. And we need to make it clear that we won't take second class citizenship. And this gay man will not stand for it any longer. I'm politically active too.
- 1. onanaite - July 31, 2008
The AFA are a bunch of homophobes that meet in the May companies restrooms for sex. Just read my blog to see what the Christian right is really up to.
- 2. Capt. Mary - August 4, 2008
I don't understand why we have to go through so much work to protect each other from hatred. We are all different and all deserve to be treated as individuals, if there was less hatred in this world we wouldn't have to fight the masses. Where does all this prejudice come from? Every living thing is precious. Lets work on protecting each other and everything around us.

MTA has come a long way from the old RTD days. I still remember sneaking on the backdoors of the bus to get on for free. The new fleets are much better designed, roomier, classier and cleaner. Although the Supreme Court had to sort of force MTA to finally replace the old junkers I'm still glad that they got something new. I hope they dont raise the day pass as high as they are predicting. Sure miss the days of 25cent transfers.
I am realizing that whoever designed the bus was apparently not a bus rider. I see high traffic bus stops with no benches, wastebaskets or rain guards. Then I see the city put benches or rain guards on stops that people rarely use. I think the bus stops that are high traffic bus stops with alot of daily riders should get preference with the benches, wastecans and rain barriers. I have caught so many bus stops near colleges or hospitals with no rain guards or even benches that it is upsetting. Groups of people in the rain or standing while other low traffic stops have a bench and everything that sits empty most of the time. It is poor planning.
It would be nice if the buses ran later also. I noticed they put bike racks on the buses now though and that is great. Someone had a good idea there. I see alot of people use them.
Then again most stuff is not designed for the pedestrian. Everything is designed for the car. You never have roads dead end and pick up somewhere else with no connect for the car to use to get from one to the other. Yet walkways have a bad habit of just dead ending and you have to walk through stuff or in the road or parking lot to get to the next part of the walkway. Either that or go all the way around while cars are given closer connection ways. They are the ones driving. Shouldn't they be the one to have to go around further instead of the pedestrian?
Everything is designed by car drivers for car drivers it appears.
I guess that is just the way L.A. is. Maybe they should let GM go bankrupt. The auto industry really screwed Los Angeles when they tore all the rail out in the early 1900's and replaced everything with freeways forcing Los to become a car city. Why should we pity them now that they are hurting? They never cared about us. They used politicians to ruin the rail system Los Angeles historically did have in the early 1900's just to make money off us us. New York and other cities kept their subways and rail systems but ours got dismantled to build freeways. Alot of recent arrivals to Los Angeles don't even realize that Los Angeles used to have an extensive rail system that was pretty big across our county from the South Bay to Downtown LA to the Harbor to downtown Long Beach. It is long gone. I saw the Belmont Tunnel recently and that yard is changed. They built big townhomes on most of it although the old subway station is still there. Hurt to see an old West Coast spot get ruined by development. Still tagged up but not like the pieces I saw when I visited it in the mid-nineties. I can only imagine in the 80's when it was poppin back in the day.
The Auto Industry has done alot of backroom deals to implement or cripple public policies in favor of their profits. The long term effects of the damage they have done are still hurting people like me that were born long after they did what they did. Why should I pity GM or any of them? I think I made a mistake to initially feel bad. I only regret it is a Union Company that is hurting. A company that apparently did respect its workers (so I'm told) is the first to suffer and that is just not right. It should be the other way around.

Unlike the Victorian sofas, they do not have extreme carvings as well as scrolled legs. One of the most crucial functions of the these couches is the upholstery. The these sofas are on the earliest instances of couches that come with total furniture. Normally, the material chesterfield sofas are not something brand-new and startup. They as well, have a log as well as classy history.
These were typically covered in velvet or natural leather and also worked as a primary focal point in any type of environment. Throughout the years, the technological elements of sofa creating have boosted a whole lot, and also the existing sofas are not only high on looks but additionally provide significant degree of comfort.
You could always pick a classic navy blue, to temper the nuances in a space as well as produce an easy-to-the-eye design. This classic blue is perfect for a nautical decoration, of blue and also white. The subtle luster of a top quality velvet gives it beautiful depth.

Melissa - 07/12/2017
We purchased these for a beach event and were happy with the service and quick turnaround time. However, i agree that the logo was much smaller in the panel than we expected and felt like it wasn't worth our money to buy the logoed beach balls since it was hard to read the logo. It didn't really have the branding impact we expected and wanted. We did feel like the quality of the beach balls was better than we expected, but we really wanted our logo to POP and were dissappointed that it didn't do that.

Was disappointed that the logo was off center on some of the balls. Larger logo would have been nice too. The print of the logo was clear and the ball looks to be of good quality.

Title: Baccano!
Director: Takahiro Omori
Original Creator: Ryohgo Narita
Number of Episodes: 13 (complete)
Plot Summary: Each of the stories in the series involves several unrelated plots intersecting and crossing each other as events spiral farther and farther out of control. Immortal alchemists, mafia operated speakeasies, and many other elements of pulp fiction mashed together for a world straight out of the movies.
REVIEW: We all have at least a little bit of an appreciation for anime series that just don't let you comprehend much about the plot at all. Then again… there are series like Persona Trinity Soul which just didn't seem to want anyone to understand anything (unless you have previous knowledge of the game before hand). Baccano! at first worked it's enigmatic magic with the hope that someone will get it eventually. Quoting from The Nihon Review:
The plot is told in about a dozen anachronistic and unrelated stories running at the same time. For a good portion of the series, this method of storytelling is quite confusing, but things become clearer over time.
This tactic certainly worked as a way to keep the audience begging for more! (I was constantly thinking though, "If you aren't going to give me any straight answers, then at least give me some aspirin!") Baccano! weaved it's plot twists elegantly and rewarded it's loyal followers with clues and cryptic answers within it's fun and mysterious ways.
Characterization was flawless in the sense that every character was fresh, flawed, and fun to watch. Whether all the characters got their fair share of screen time is another issue all in itself though. Complete with great characters like Jacuzzi Splot and Maiza Avaro, sprinkled with cool characters like Luck Gandor and Firo Prochainezo, spiced with psychotic anti-heroes Rail Tracer and Ladd Russo, and topped off with a dynamic duo Isaac Dian and Miria Harvent, Baccano! offers everyone a character they could call their favorite.
Don't let the music stop! One of the many great feats that Baccano! accomplished as a series is the music! The opening theme (as well as the opening sequence) is, for a lack of a better term, perfect! Gun's & Roses by Paradise Lunch was a impeccable choice for the opening that's both catchy and cool, completely setting the mood for the series. Makoto Yoshimori's pieces were simply the coolest BG music choices for this particular series. I can't wait for the soundtrack prices to go down so I could get my hands on a copy of this amazing collection.
As for bumps in the road towards the end of the series that didn't actually get smoothed out along the way… or resolved in the end… it would probably be the constant jumping from one story plot to the next and back and forth. It is a bit distracting at times and yet fluidity is not one of Baccano!'s more stronger points.
Yet even with that aspect of the series, it was still very enjoyable and even adds a bit of personality to the series that feels very unique.
Overall: It comes down to one phrase: "DAMN! This neurotic anime is effin' good!" So hop on to the craziest train ride of the 19th Century… for a bit of sexy, a tad of wonky, but definitely all cool experience on the Flying Pussyfoot! All aboard?
Overall (sub) : A
Story : B+/A-
Animation : A-
Art : A
Music : A+

If you're gearing up for a big workout session, one thing that you must make sure you aren't overlooking is good hydration. It's vital that you are hydrating yourself properly because this can have a significant influence on the overall performance that you are able to give.
Let's go over some of the main points about what you should remember with regards to hydrating yourself properly around your workouts.
Stay On Top Of Hydration From The Start
First and foremost, always make sure you are staying on top of your hydration needs in the first place. If you aren't in a dehydrated state before the workout session occurs, you won't have to take in as much fluid, which could potentially lead to cramping in the hour or two before you do the session.
Dink 8-10 Oz. An Hour Before
To top off your hydration however, do make sure that you consume around8-10 oz. of fluid about an hour before the workout.
This will give it enough time to hit the body, have a positive effect, but still not cause cramping to occur.
Sip Fluid During
Sipping fluid during your workout is another way to stay on top of your hydration needs. You don't want to be drinking larger amounts because again, it can cause cramping to take place, but by replacing some of the lost fluid you're seeing, you can prevent declines in performance.
If the workout is going over the one hour point, you may want to make this a light glucose or electrolyte solution as well.
Replenish After The Session
Finally, make sure that you replenish any lost water after the session is over. Drink at least a few cups of liquid so that you are back in a fully hydrated state and don't have to make-up for it later on.
Pure water tends to work best in this case, unless you're planning on using protein powder as a post-workout meal, in which case your post workout shake will work best.
So there you have the main points to keep in mind at all times regarding proper hydration around exercise. This is one element that far too many people completely overlook that can have quite a significant influence on the rate of progress that you see. Make sure you are taking care of your needs.

BOSS Katana Guitar Amps
Waza Crafted Tones Forged for Rock
BOSS's newly introduced, and already highly acclaimed, Katana amp line delivers a wide-range of edgy, versatile rock tones and a true tube amp experience that dynamically cuts through a band. A quick search online delivers countless positive impressions of the Katana sound from user reviews that also praise the line's solid price-to-performance ratio.
Katana amps are based on decades of BOSS technology used to develop the flagship Waza amp head. Standout features for the Katana line include support for more than 50 different BOSS effects, Power Control, Tube Logic for a true tube wattage experience and dynamics, five unique amp types (including the BOSS Brown Sound), and the ability to use three effects simultaneously. The onboard BOSS effects are also easy to customize using BOSS's free Tone Studio editor software with a computer online.
This new award-winning series (Guitar Player Editors' Pick) includes three combo amplifiers and an amplifier head. The 50-watt KATANA-50 and 100-watt KATANA-100 have one custom 12-inch speaker, and the 100-watt KATANA-100/212 has two custom 12-inch speakers. All three combo amps include a built-in tilt stand for optimal monitoring and sound projection as well. The KATANA-HEAD is a compact, 100-watt amplifier head that was designed for use with an external speaker cabinet (like BOSS's 4×12 Waza amp cab) and features the unique and convenient built-in monitor speaker that works great for practice, checking tones, and recording. A convenient MIDI input for Tone Setting selection and effects on/off from a MIDI foot controller is helpful feature for the head as well.
These core amps (and head) in the BOSS Katana line have all of the following standout features:
- Power Control for achieving cranked-amp tone and dynamic response at low volumes
- Five unique amp characters: Clean, Crunch, Lead, Brown (derived from the Waza amp), and Acoustic (for acoustic-electric guitars)
- Dedicated gain, EQ, presence, and effects controls for adjusting sounds quickly
- Three simultaneous effects with 58 to choose
- Tube Logic for a true tube wattage experience and dynamics that allow the amp to cut through a band
- The output sections of Katana amps employ a special method developed for the Waza amp that optimizes the interaction between the speaker and cabinet. This delivers authoritative punch and cutting stage presence previously attainable only with much more expensive amps
- Tone Setting memories for storing and recalling all amp and effect settings
Plus, the recent Katana Version 2 Update brings these great new features into the line:
- Tone Setting memories increased from four to eight (two banks of four)
- Access to 58 total effects (SDE-3000 delay, Phaser 90E, and Flanger 117E types added)
- Full-time channel and global parametric EQs for refined tone shaping
- Three Cabinet Resonance types adjust the interaction between the amp's output section and speaker, enabling you to fine-tune the feel and tone of the amp
- Cabinet simulation on the line, USB, and phones/recording outputs enhanced with three Air Feel settings for adding depth and dimension to direct tones
- Reverb section now supports delay and delay-plus-reverb in addition to reverb only
- Expanded send/return routing options for inserting external processing in the effects loop
The Katana line includes the fun and portable Katana-Mini Battery Powered Guitar Amplifier as well, perfect for travel and practice.
Guitar players can access great Katana tone on the Katana-Mini with rich full sounds that exceed other amps in its class. And it weighs just under three pounds! All Katana-Mini's feature an authentic multi-stage analog gain circuit and three-band analog tone stack, three versatile amp types (Brown, Crunch, and Clean), built-in tape-style delay for warm ambience, aux input for jamming with music from a smartphone, phones/recording output with cabinet voicing, and it runs on six AA-size batteries or an optional AC adapter. Unlike typical small, battery-powered guitar amps that offer so-so sound quality, the Katana-Mini produces big, full tone that inspires players to plug in and play for hours at a time. BOSS's comprehensive design approach includes a custom speaker, advanced hardware, refined circuitry, and special component selection, which all work together to produce maximum sound quality in a minimum footprint.

It was these practices which most deeply pervaded Russian society. First and foremost, the early Russians believed in the veneration of their ancestors. The family or clan (rod) was venerated both in the literal sense and the more figurative sense as an offspring-producing spirit (rozhanitsy.) "In the twelfth century", Vernadsky tells us, "many a Russian still offered bread, curd, and mead to Rod and Rozhanitsy, in spite of the admonition of the clergy to abstain from these pagan rites". Also part of these beliefs was the veneration of the clan founder (the praschur). Finally, the home was seen as a sacred space in its own right. It was protected by the domovoi, a home spirit, and the hearth fire formed the focus of the household, a symbol of its health and livelyhood. In Christian times, their place would be taken by an icon placed in a corner shrine, to which devout Russians would bow upon entering a room.
Outside the home, many of the beliefs revolved around the agricultural cycle and the forces of nature. One of the oldest of Russian deities was Moist Mother Earth (or Mati srra zenlja) herself. Marija Gimbutas documents a number of practices regarding this deity, including the calling upon the Earth to witness oaths and the ban on striking the Earth or plowing before March 25 (the approximate date of the spring equinox) because the Earth was believed to be pregnant before that date. Kupala was the festival of Mother Earth: it took place at the summer solstice and included mass bathing, prayers at springs and great bonfires. On the eve of the solstice, the fires of both homes and temples would be symbolically extinguished and then rekindled. Another custom involved the placement of a figure of straw dressed like a woman under a tree which had been cut down and planted again in the earth (representing the Tree of Life which links heaven and earth); sacrifices would take place nearby.
Belief in wood and river spirits was also strong, and they played a strong role in folklore long after the Christian conversion. These were the rusalki , who are usually depicted as female and who could lull the unwary wanderer into drowning himself or becoming lost in the forest. Trees themselves were also the focus of veneration.
Besides the various less-defined deities, a group of named gods were known to have been worshipped by the early Rus'. More about these in a moment. We have both contemporary descriptions and archaelogical evidence of the appearance of temples. They seem to have been constructed of timber, and their exterior was often decorated with animal horns and sculpture. Temples could be either rectangular or rounded in shape, and were usually located on the tops of fortified hills. Inside, the walls might be hung with coloured cloths (purple cloths are specifically mentioned); the focus area would be in the middle, which might be either raised or sunken and which also contained the ceremonial fire. Here would stand the idol or idols, made almost always of wood, though ornamented in larger temples by silver. Virtually any plant or animal matter might be offered as a sacrifice; the choice depended on the god, the time of year, and the purse of the sacrificer. Cocks were a common choice for everyday-type animal sacrifice, while grain was the choice vegetable matter (Russian reverence for the sacred nature of grain or frumenty survived the transition to Christianity). Usually the sacrificed matter was then consumed communally.
The most well-know god of Russian mythos is Perun, the god of lightning and thunder. He seems to have been particularly associated with the Rurikid dynasty, which makes Perun's identification with the Scandinavian Thor unmistakable, though the Slavs were worshiping Perun long before the Varangian period. He is depicted as a man in his prime with a copper-coloured beard who travels through the sky in a chariot, throwing his axe (which was identified with the lightning bolt) at evil spirits and people. Interestingly enough, a person struck by lightning was felt to be gifted with healing powers. It was also thought that a bolt of lightning was needed to stir the earth into fertility in the spring (a good example of the age-old mythological union between Mother Earth and Father Sky). After the conversion to Christianity, Perun was identified with St. Elias, who also rides a fiery chariot.
Perhaps more important (though less well-known) than Perun was Svarog, the father of all gods, the "heaven-walker". The other gods were thought to be in reality children of Svarog, or manifestations of his spirit. He is sometimes depicted with three heads. Svarog was a sort of blacksmith-god, associated with fires (the hearth fire was termed "Svarog's son"). He forged the sun (Khors Dazhbog -- Khors representing the sun itself and Dazhbog representing sunlight) and the atmosphere (Stribog --god of winds and atmosphere). Svarog could assume many shapes--that of a bull, a grey wolf, a horse, or most especially, a falcon. In Christian times, Svarog's features in Slavic lands may have been assumed by St. George, who is said to have stirred up a great wind while fighting the dragon.
Volos was the god of wealth and cattle. His cult was quite popular around Novgorod, and he became to be particularly associated with commerce; his idol seems to have been often placed in marketplaces. Volos was known as a mischievous god, fond of playing tricks and casting spells, but he also seems to have been god of poetry and oracles
Yarilo or Svetarit was the god of war and fertility. He was associated with the harvest and the springtime; his name means "young" or "shining one". A white horse was reserved to him; only the priest might ride it and it was used to make auguries before battle.
The god Simargl is depicted as an eagle or a dog, who travels over the earth spreading seeds of fertility. He may have also acted as a warrior-god. Sometimes he was split into two aspects--Sim, god of households, and Rogl, who is associated with the harvest.
Finally, there is Mokosh, the only goddess of the more formalized pantheon. She was usually depicted spinning flax and is thus associated with sheep. Mokosh is also associated with springs, water, and prosperity, and is invoked against drought.
The conversion seems to have been most rapid in the south and in urban areas; as late as the late eleventh century there were still pagans in Novgorod. There is little evidence of extensive forced conversion; the process seems to have been gradual, and conversion did not mean immediate abandonment of pagan practices, as we have seen.
Vladimir is supposed to have opted for Orthodox Christianity because of the reports his envoys brought him of the beautiful liturgy. Indeed, the aim of this liturgy is to create a kind of "heaven on earth". The typical Orthodox church is characterized by soaring vaults topped by domes, the inside of which are either painted or covered in mosaics of Christ, the Theotokos (Virgin Mary) and the Apostles and saints, all portrayed in a stylized manner that conveys the eternity of the Church. The priests are clad in shining vestments and use gold vessels; bishops wear mitres of gold and carry gold croziers. Candles flicker everywhere. The liturgy is highly ceremonial in nature, filled with incense, meaningful gestures, bowing, and choirs placed in high balconies. The similarity to Byzantine court ceremony is not coincidental. At a certain point in the ritual, the Holy Spirit is believed to actually descend into the church and into the rite itself, transfiguring and bathing all in holy light. The liturgy is a mystical experience and works to promote an inner transformation in those who witness it.
This is, of course, the Byzantine model. In the Russian Orthodox Church, however, a second layer was added to Christianity. Increasingly, popular practice emphasized the humanity of Christ, rather than his awe-inspiring majesty or the complicated theology of the Greeks. This emphasis is seen in the choice of the first two Russians to be canonized-- Boris and Gleb, not learned bishops, but laymen, innocent martyrs who chose to suffer their fate in imitation of Christ. This empathy for those who suffer is seen in popular works such as The Descent of the Virgin into Hell (see the literature article). Unlike Western Christianity, too, the Orthodox Mass was designed to instill understanding in attendees. Readings from the Old and New Testaments, hymns to the Virgin and Christ, collect hymns explaining the lives of saints, and sermons all were in Church Slavonic, close enough to the Russian tongue for all to understand. Saints' lives, works on theology, and sermons were all written down and educated layfolk encouraged to read them to increase their understanding.
The introduction of Christianity brought social changes to the Rus' as well. The tithe system was instituted, in which all Christians were expected to donate a tenth of their income to the Church. Church courts now assumed jurisdiction over a wide variety of cases, including those involving divorce, adultery, abduction, abortion, incest, magic, poisoning, witchcraft, heresy, biting, bestiality, certain kinds of theft, and so on. The penalties for these crimes tended to be monetary, rather than physically punitive. The Church was also given charge of administration of monasteries, extending hospitality to visiting dignitaries in towns, inns for strangers, the welfare of pilgrims, physicians, the blind, widows, and the lame, and bishops were given the right to supervise markets and set standards for weights and measures.
Just a few final words about practices amongst the people. Orthodox Christians made the sign of the cross backwards from Roman Catholics: forehead, middle of chest, right breast, left breast. Russians made this sign with two fingers. Most of the other differences between the Eastern Church and the Western involve theology or practices in liturgy and need not concern us here. But icons must be mentioned. Far from simple pictures of Christ, the Virgin, or the saints, icons were believed to be divinely inspired and sometimes capable of miracles. The features of the figures on them are always painted in a stylized manner, symbolizing the eternity of God and the saints. Most Russian homes had at least one, often given a special niche and an oil lamp to illuminate it in the main room; it became tradition to bow to the icon upon entering a home.

No Time!
I was thinking about my plan for this year and I have no time to hunt for a spouse and if by some miracle I find him, I have no time to get married. How unfortunate is that? The only way I can get everything I want done is to prioritize one thing over the other, delay a few things and such. But how much time do I set aside to look for a potential spouse? Some people say that you can look all you want but it'll happen when it's meant to happen and others say that you need to tie your camel if you want Allah (swt) to make things happen for you. Aren't these the exact opposite?
Also, looking for a husband/wife is not like going to a market, picking out who you like and bringing them back home with you. You may like someone and they may not like you or someone is interested in you but you aren't so interested in them for whatever reason. The entire process is time consuming. It's not that I don't want to get married right now but do I really put the rest of my life on hold because of it? Since, I haven't really had the time to look for someone, I didn't have anything to blog about. :P
I think perhaps I need to buy me Sheikh Muhammad Alshareef's time traveler package. But is it me or does that sound damn expensive? :(

No time for love? Oh no. You are not even in the middle, you are at the beginning. Just joking.
It (love) will come to you anyway you go about it. Just look out because it might hit you when you least suspect it.

Actually, I had been spouse hunting for a while before I decided to blog about it. As for it hitting me when I least expect it, I don't know if I believe that since I'm not looking for the traditional "fall in love and get married". But if you don't look, there's no way someone's just going to fall in your lap. Only question is, how hard do you look?

Sweetheart, you need to relax. You can keep your eyes and ears open without making marriage Job One. Take a break. If you are feeling overwhelmed and/or exhausted, it is a signal to stop pushing.

- y said...
Yeah, this is a pretty interesting question you pose in this post, and I guess everyone has to kind of analyze it for themselves, like for their own circumstances. Like, me, for example, I'm still in school, so I won't be making money for a couple more years, so that's basically my excuse. Like, I don't want my wife to work and pay for everything I have, but I want to be able to buy her stuff. Not trying to be chauvinistic or anything, lol, but that's how I feel. So I'm not really looking for anyone now just to focus on my studies.
Someone told me once that there is no such thing as not having enough time, that if there is something very important to you, that you either make time for it, or it isn't really as important to you. Like, for finding someone for marriage, maybe it is important, but maybe not as important to you as the other things that you don't want to move out of the way to make room for this. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that, people just have different preferences.
I guess you can switch around your preferences and stuff. And also, just something to think about, you'll have to switch around your preferences when you get married anyway. Like, a person must make time for their spouse and children and possibly pets. like, when a person gets married, they can't do all their hobbies and things they used to do before.
Do you guys think those internet sites would be good for people who have busy schedules? I heard there are a lot of problems with those sites, though, like a lot of fake and non-working profiles. what do you think?
- 7 January 2010 at 19:47
- NidalM said...
This would be no reason to give up of course. But if you do find that you prioritize certain things above marriage, you have every right to keep you 'selection process' strict enough to preserve it. Noone can (or should) keep marriage numero uno. Everyone has an "I'd rather not be married if I have to..." list (a deal-breaker list). This is not wrong. This is practicality.
Is it possible to find someone who fits all our criteria? Perhaps, or perhaps not. But I do know that we sometimes meet people that we like enough to conveniently forget our little lists. This, again, is not wrong. You may call it love :)

Sorry I'm replying to the comments this late. Been really busy and tired. So here goes:
Habibti - I know right. Poor us. :P
Stephanie - thanks for dropping by. Good advice. It's difficult to constantly be looking for a spouse so I have to take long gaps and concentrate on other things. I don't think the guy I was communicating with would appreciate it if I disappeared for long periods of time to do other stuff. I certainly wouldn't.
y - I think you have a good reason to want to take it easy for now and concentrate on other things. Sometimes, you have a lot of things that are important to you but you still aren't able to find time because you aren't sure how much of it to dedicate to each thing. Hence, why I'm probably a bad planner. I can't really follow time tables either.
As for matrimonial sites, I think they are the easiest way to spouse hunt. You know the people (majority anyway) are looking for a spouse so it only leaves the question of whether they'd be interested in you or not. The problem is that matrimonial sites make people even more fussy because you feel like there are so many choices to choose from, might as well get the best who has everything you'd like in a spouse. After a while when you've rejected half the people, you realize the numbers weren't really realistic and you need to broaden your criteria. :P Even then, I'd suggest you try it out & always pray istikhara.
NidalM - Glad you said that. In my social circle, very few people agree with that and some are even more extreme than I am. I can't listen to everyone's advice and follow it. I have to make my own decisions which are suitable for me. If I feel they have some sense into what they are saying then sure but if it's unrealistic then I just listen to them and do what I think is best. There's usually no sense in arguing about it. :)
- 11 January 2010 at 00:28
- y said...
single4now -
I think you brought up an interesting point. A lot of people aren't looking for someone because they feel it wouldn't be fair if they were really busy, and couldn't talk to the other person except intermittently. I think that is correct, that it wouldn't be fair, for most people. But there are probably a lot of people who are also doing the same thing as you, that is, putting off looking for someone for a couple of years because they also don't think it would be fair to be absent a lot, then they wouldn't expect you to be there always either. Like, if you find someone who is also really busy, and not looking to get married immediately or something, then they wouldn't think it unfair if you disappeared for long periods of time, since that's what they would be doing also. Just a thought.
- 12 January 2010 at 14:14
- single4now said...
Yes, I suppose if you can find someone who can understand your circumstances then it should be fine. :) But usually when you are talking initially to someone, you'd hope for quick replies, especially if you are interested in them so it might be frustrating to wait long periods of time for answers to important questions. One could always chat but I usually don't recommend it. :P

Sorry to be late to this discussion. I must agree fully with NidalM and add that this type of thinking comes more easily to men, and so the good ones remind us to think this way for ourselves too.
I find it odd not to have time for love, although I understand what you mean. It can be hard to find time to cultivate and nurture relationships, and this is true before and after marriage.
Love, however, seems to find us when we aren't paying too much attention, or to squeeze itself in to the time available. The initial and subsequent new or renewed feelings of love are very exciting, and the deeper ongoing feelings are sustaining.
In that sense there is, or always should be time for love.
You might need to let it find you rather than screening for it, though. I know very Western romantic, I'm sure. Easterners in my experience have a much greater belief both in love at first sight, and love growing from duty.
Just for the record, I am not really the overly romantic type; and I am a firm believer in lust at first sight, rather than love at first sight, although sometimes in retrospect they coincided.

Imperfect Stepford Wife - actually, I don't have anything worth writing about right now. I have a few things but it's more like ramblings inside my head and not a defined topic. :P I'll see if I can straighten it out and gather enough material to make a post. I did think of something last night before I fell asleep but it seems to have slipped out of my head. lol.
Chiara - I really don't see how love can find us unless we make an effort. I'm trying to make time but it's not like talking to someone. It's basically going through profiles and such. Long process and hence time consuming. :P Actually, it's always been that I generally don't initiate many conversations. It's been mostly people contacting me. Reason is if I read something that I feel I'm not the person for them, then I move on. Occasionally it has happened that the person noticed that I visited their profile, read it, probably liked it and contacted me. :) I guess I need to start contacting more people.
- 20 January 2010 at 06:45
- Chiara said...
Well it is easier to find and be found in a non-segregated setting, like med school, hospital etc. Somehow people manage this even in very traditional cultures. Ah, but the profiling route would be more time consuming.
True too, that opening yourself to more options, while doing it safely would create more opportunities.
Maybe you need a break though, or are more invested right now in other concerns.

The only people in a hospital are dr.s, patients and possibly male nurses. I don't see that as a great place for a hook up. :P It just doesn't seem like a good idea to hook up with someone at the workplace. What if it all goes sour?
I guess I need to sort my schedule out.

LOL :) NB different specialty, different circle and area of hospital, no real power over you, and will eventually earn more than you do even if you do clinic full time.
Patient with a non-disfiguring acute total treatable non recurring illness. Or patient's family member. NB not your own patient! LOL :)
Good luck!

Question for you: How are you looking/searching???
They say put your books away & go out there, but I ask WHERE?
What do you do & How????
Yes I have asked parents & friends know (if they don't, they are clueless). I attend weddings and masjid but those are gender segregated & I guess I don't catch anyones eyes walking cross street or those wedding based on my look.
so what are you doing sis?
- 6 December 2010 at 12:57
- single4now said...
Well, I would say you try whatever works for you. If you think it's easier for you to meet someone through people then go with that. If you think online is the way to go, try that. Or speak to your local imaam if you prefer that. Whatever is more comfortable for you. But I'd advise you to always have your family involved and them know what you are doing. It's just safer that way.
Also, if you know of a brother who you think is good and you might be interested in marrying him, don't be afraid to get in touch with him, either through a mediator or your family. Just do your best, make dua and pray istikhara. InshaAllah, it'll work out for the best. :)
