My quantum theory of everything "Quantum Philosophy"
Quantum philosophy is a metanarrative. There are 3 major categories for all that exists. 1) Physical things i.e. things with atoms (Manifesting Consciousness). 2) Things that think (Coherent Consciousness). And finally the fifth fundamental force 3) That which allows thinking things to interact with physical things (Perceptible Consciousness). Perceptible Consciousness is a totally revolutionary concept found in the book Quantum philosophy meanings, answers and Promises. By thinking in terms of Perceptible Consciousness you find answers to life's great mysteries. It is a indescribable enhancement to modern theories of Quantum Physics, Quantum Mechanics and Metaphysics.
paul AshtonJul 30 2012: I think The answer is the egg. Evolutionarily speaking the origin of a species is rooted in mutation that can intially define a new successful breed or spieces. The expression of new traits would initially start with the egg in unison with a perceived new adaptation. So I think it was the egg. And frankly I'm pretty sur I'm right. Something tells me you were alluding to something more profound though. I am going to have to check that book out!
Jul 30 2012: I think it's the chicken.
Say, germs were the most basic forms of life. These germs split asexually to reproduce and multiply. However, let's say there are other germs that can take over these germs now. So perhaps in order to protect themselves, some of these germs developed a new mechanism to protect themselves from takeover. Eventually one of these defense functions become the "egg."
So the egg is like a defense mechanism. Some animals have different mechanisms with eggs. For example, a spider will create eggs that contains thousands of spiders. The reason is that most of these spiders die and only a few can survive, so you need a higher number of baby spiders to increase the chance of legacy carrying.
James Zhang 30+Jul 30 2012: It depends how you see it really. The way I see it is this:
The germ itself is what I consider the "chicken."
The "egg" is a defense mechanism of that chicken.
If there was nothing to threaten the germ reproduction of just splitting asexually, then there would be no need for an egg that would protect themselves from a threat that doesn't exist.
Jul 30 2012: But if you see all types of reproduction process as the "egg" then may be a little different... hmmm...
Maybe perhaps there were many other life forms out there that were created by the right conditions. However, most probably deceased because they had no method of reproduction. So perhaps there were a few types of germs who figured it out and that there needs to be reproduction to sustain life.
James Zhang 30+
Jul 31 2012: Wow, such a simple argument, but it really made an interesting point. I always say that it is the egg, because of the identity property, the first mutation we identify as chicken, came from the first chicken egg. Based on evolution, the thing which layed the first chicken egg, wasn't quite a chicken yet... It's child was the first of a new species, a mutation.
If however, as you did James, take it beyond actual chickens and eggs, to single celled asexual creatures... The first mutated offspring is born, a germ/chicken. I do however believe that in the sense of what comes first the "child or the adult"... "the sperm or the man"... In terms of evolutionairy identity I believe the child comes first, because the first of a new species, begins in a world which has no adults... not of its own kind.
As far as this theory... I find myself confident in my assertion that there is perception and intent in all physical things. We want to speed up, heat up, bump into one another, bond, and reproduce at light speed : )
Jul 31 2012: I am with you 100%. Your statement is intelligent and sound but the true answer, as you definitely gave is a relegation. As we advance in our understanding old expressions lose their charm. The point to my question is a paradox. Though this expression can be explained in linear views the reason for the question still brings dept. I have found profound truth about the paradigm of a paradox.
Jul 31 2012: I think the child came first before anything as well. Probably, there were many different children out there, but a lot of them probably didn't figure out that they needed to reproduce to keep the legacy going. Hmm so if this were true, how exactly did some figure out to reproduce while others did not? Or did all life-forms already have a reproductive mechanism already built in...
@William, man I really hate paradoxes, they're everywhere but they don't make sense!
Jul 31 2012: Popular belief is that life arose from the proper mix of chemical compounds which created single cell organisms. If evolution is true which I do believe then that would mean, like the rest of you have argued that the egg came first as a mutation.
Do you believe that there are any true paradoxes?
Aug 1 2012: Dividing Pi, which is and infinite number, yields an even greater Infiniti. A second can be infinitly divided and yet time passes. Take a line divide it onto thirds then remove the middle section. Repeat this division ino thirds with the remaining two segments. This division is infinite. There is no number of divisions that will result in a line of 0 length only more minute units measured. These are true paradoxes and their nature forms the fundamental foundation of the universe. True paradoxes are at the heart of modern physics and we will most likely never reconcile them. Check out the doc. "how long is a piece of string".
Gordon Barker 10+Aug 3 2012: You can't divide something an infinite number of times (except memtally) because you would eventually go lower (shorter) than the limit of Plank length. Nothing can be shorter or smaller than plank length, which is natures way of saying, get on with it.
There are no real paradoxes. There may be lots of things that are counter intutive, but they are not paradoxes.
Jul 30 2012: Robert Landser, bio-centrism pretty much is what you are postulating. There is a whole book and everything apparently.
If pereption and conciousness are all of reality why would different conciousness' need o communicate or interact. Would it not be more "quantum" to describe conciousness as both he parts and the whole simultaneously. Cheers!
Jul 29 2012: Are these statements given as fundamental truth on which to build some sort of belief?
They all seem slightly slippery for a non initiate (like myself) 1) Do things have an intrinsic existence/what is matter?
2)Does matter produce thought - are they a seperate species? 3)Why shouldn't they all interact?

A wicked Midwest satire with razor blades stashed beneath its bright candy-apple surface. Full Review
Hardly the high-priced spread, this condescending comedy about Middle America will score with some audiences and put off others. Full Review
Plays like one long, slow descent into cloying moralizing and uplift that's well past its expiration date. Full Review
The movie's entire superior attitude is kind of annoying. Full Review
We're still just scratching the surface of witty, provocative humor as long as envelope-pushing directors such as Jim Field Smith continue to find work. Full Review
At times, the Midwestern satire "Butter" is almost funny, and in its honor I almost laughed. Full Review
Director Jim Field Smith keeps the quirky characters coming with smooth efficiency and throws in some nice touches along the way. Full Review
At 90 minutes it feels inflated, and though clearly intended as funny, it's difficult to locate, except in the most general terms, the focus of the movie's satire, and there's not a laugh to be had. Full Review

For many us parents, we have fond memories of watching Charlie Brown as a child. Our entire youths were spent seeing the hapless, luckless kid muddle his way through childhood. Well, when KIRO Radio personality John Curley showed the classic It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown to his kids, he as shocked at their reaction. To them, the characters were so mean. It made him wonder if the content was too harsh for children.
While I agree that Lucy was certainly the quintessential mean girl and Peppermint Patty's quips could be a bit scathing, that is something that kids today sorely need to see.
In Great Pumpkin, Lucy and the rest of the gang get loads of cookies, candy and gum while poor old Charlie Brown gets a lousy rock. There are instances were kids are called names or maligned because they do not bath enough (remember Pig Pen?) Curley's kids feel so bad for them. But so did we. That is how we are supposed to feel for the kids, especially Charlie Brown.
You see, the cartoon hasn't changed, but the kids who watch it have. And that's because so much of children's TV is watered down, sanitized, feel-good gibberish. Not that there's anything wrong with that. My son loves the counting games and vocab lessons so much of the shows are filled with. But life isn't really so sweet and PC, is it. It's not in adulthood that they are hit with the harsh realities of life -- it's in pre-K and Kindergarten. I remember being totally floored when I witnessed three-year-old mean girls ostracizing another girl in my son's nursery school class.
Perhaps Charlie Brown helped prepare us better for school, which can feel a bit "Lord Of The Flies" even before middle school. Kids are cruel but today, so many kids don't get a real sense of how cruel they can be until they are confronted with it on the playground. Oddly, those cartoons were much closer to reality than anything else on kids TV these days. I say, let's watch Charlie Brown with our kids and then talk to them about the behavior they will undoubtedly encounter as soon as they hit kindergarten anyway.
Do you think Charlie Brown cartoons are too harsh for kids?
I don't understand the nostalgia of Charlie Brown. I thought the cartoons were stupid then and I have made no effort to let my daughter see them because they were so lame. It is time for the Charlie Brown strip and cartoon to just fade away.
My kids love Charlie Brown. Yes...it would be stupid to ban them.
I love Charlie Brown. I let my 2 1/2 year old watch Great Pumpkin for the first time this year and she loves it too. I watched them for years and I can't recall calling anyone a "blockhead" or anything. Maybe that's because my parents were actually parents and told me that cartoons weren't real and that words can hurt.

The Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) produces weather forecasts on a 24/7 basis for the Australia region. During the fire season provide direct and timely information for the fire and emergency services community.
What will FIRE-DST do that will add to the weather information already available?
The Bureau's Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) system will be configured for extremely high resolution applications over regions of complex topography in severe fire weather conditions. This will entail a considerable tuning and validation exercise as the resolutions envisioned will be an order of magnitude finer than hitherto available operationally. The validation of the expected detailed and complex flow structures, both in space and evolving in time, will be a challenging task.
The Bureau has a new computer-based weather prediction system called the Australian Community Climate and Earth-System Simulator (ACCESS). It is based upon the UK Met Office Unified Model system (www.accessimulator.org.au). It uses improved technology and is much more accurate and reliable.
FIRE-DST involves the Bureau configuring ACCESS for very high resolution forecasts, with application to severe fire weather conditions in rugged terrain. Modelling at this scale really stretch the computers (3000 processors being utilised for recent severe weather simulations), but it is necessary to be able to understand the complex winds, temperatures and humidity that occur during events like Black Saturday.
Once BoM have validated the modelled weather against case-study observations, partners in this project will use the data as an input to their fire behaviour models – the aim is to improve the prediction of the spread, intensity and impact of a fire.
The FIRE-DST project also plans to look at some alternate scenarios – "what if the wind change arrived an hour earlier or later?" It will be some years before computers are powerful enough to run these very high resolution simulations in real time. Within FIRE-DST we plan to also use these simulations to better understand and interpret the resolutions that we can afford to run operationally today.
Once the model configuration has been established, then two or three case studies for recent major fire events will be constructed, and the resulting wind fields offered to the fire behaviour models to assess their sensitivity to the more complex (topographically-affected) information. An important part of the assessment will include measures of uncertainty in the forecasts – what happens if a wind change arrives an hour earlier or later, what happens if the inversion breaks an hour earlier or later, what happens if the wind direction is 10, 20 or 30 degrees different relative to the topography? These uncertainties will be investigated using simple methods, in which the model output fields are modified. These modified output fields, when coupled to the fire spread model, will provide some measure of uncertainty in terms of the range of possible fire spread due to the possible range of meteorological conditions.

Iggy & The Stooges::Riviera Theatre::08/29/10
I have seen what must be a thousand terrible to mediocre bands in my short time on this world. I don't mean to be disparaging in that. Not every band can be great. Not every band gets it. And by "it" I mean being a magnetic spectacle of rock & roll.
I remember thinking this the first time I saw Iggy & The Stooges: I wished that everyone in that audience was either in a band or inspired to be in a band. I'm firmly convinced that most terrible to mediocre bands might be averted if they simply saw Iggy & The Stooges live. I'm also pretty convinced that most really great bands would even be inspired to elevate their performances.
Iggy is 63 years old. His band mates are his contemporaries. Many people like to comment on how old this is. Then they hit the stage. If you couldn't make out age lines or graying hair, you'd swear you were watching a bunch of 19 year-olds who just got buzzed up on something and decided it all had to go while they were on the stage.
And go it does. It's not the hardest show you will ever go to. It's not the heaviest. It's not the most brutal. But there is probably more energy released in that 90 minute set than almost any other showcase out there.
Here's the basic thing you need to know from this post: go see Iggy Pop. If you can, go see Iggy & The Stooges.

Good month (?) Rebuilders or others
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 12-29-2005 - 10:24am
Don't you hate when you post something and it get's deleted... Here I go again
I was hoping for some advice from rebuilders or anyone else that has had to heal from this crap....
For the first time in our almost 7mths of rebuilding I have been feeling stable. I have mentioned this before but what I am wondering is, what to expect?
Will this feeling of stability stick around or is it pretty likely that I will probably go thru another stage of rage and loneliness?
Am I more at the acceptance stage? I am afraid to get to hopeful and when or if I regress I want to be warned and not be disaappointed in myself if that should happen so I am asking my friends here what to expect.
We have had a good month and when I say that there has been lots of talking, crying, yelling (from me), but the best part is I feel stable. I feel our relationship is more stable and we are improving immensely. I have gained lots of insight this month. If you dissect our rebuilding I feel that the first 3mths were very honeymoonish with anger and rage, the last 3mths were full of anger and rage and now this a calm stability feeling. I even had thoughts of forgiveness on my mind, although I am not ready "yet" to grant forgiveness. I can not believe that I even had those thoughts. I know I shouldn't hold this granting like a high and mighty person but it's very important to me to reach that goal, someday and when I do it will be special to me. The realistic side says those thoughts are just creeping because of the holidays. But anyways.........
Can I ask where you found yourself at 6/7 mths and what to expect? Thank you and Happy Holidays, Tea
|Thu, 12-29-2005 - 11:08am
Tea, Today marks 1 year of rebuilding. I know what you mean about the grainting of forgivness and how special that will be. I feel the exact same way. I am not there yet but since about month 7 I have felt "stable". There are still triggers but not to the point of being worth talking about. I mean I don't feel the need now to bring each and every trigger up to my H. Now when they hit I go to him and sit on his lap or hold his hand or call him on the phone just to hear his voice and remind myself that we are no longer on that horrible roller coaster. I have just also started to make plans for future things. Like a trip in Feb. with my h and our kids. Something I would not have done 5 months ago. For a matter of fact in August when my H said something about Christmas "I said we will have to see how we are doing then. I am not ready to commit to anything beyond today.." So when I told him I had sent the deposit for the trip in Feb. He came up to me and kissed me... Took me on his lap and said "I love you thank you for believing in us" I am not saying we are in the clear or that I am ready to fully trust him yet. But I feel better about myself. I am not sure how to explain it.. I guess I feel I have a choice and a voice now. I decided to stay and fight my way past the fear and anger. He was there every step of the way no matter what I said or did to test "us". I had one foot out the door more times then I care to count but when push came to shove I always decided I was where "I" wanted to be. I guess maybe I forgave myself for being too dependent on my H. I have learned I can love him but I do not have to "live to please him". i hope that makes sense. Anyway I am happy for you. I can't say we are out of the woods so to speak but at least that gut turning feeling has passed....
|Thu, 12-29-2005 - 12:28pm
Tea...I think you are in a good place right now. For the first few months...maybe even the first year or so, you have that pendulum of emotions swinging wildly. The anger, the rage, the honeymooning, the anger, the Retrouvialle weekend. At some point there needs to be a leveling off of all these emotions. You have to get back to "normal". For me, normal felt safe.
For a long time I felt so lost because I didn't remember what it actually felt like..."normal". I wanted to be there. I can honestly tell you, that I am there. I also want you to know that it is now hard for me to remember that unbearable roller-coaster. I can if I go digging into the archives of my mind. Actually sometimes posts from here take me back there...but that's OK because I feel safe.
Tea...as you move foward with your healing, I think you will feel more stable with each day. I think you should expect that there will be days when you revert back to other stages of the grieving process, but I also expect that you will recover more quickly, and you will have longer periods of stability.
Be patient. Keep dialoging....every day! Even if you have to use the "What made me happy today?...DYAF" question 5 days in a row! You are doing fine.
|Thu, 12-29-2005 - 8:27pm
Thank you julie and Irene!
I really hope to reach that stabilization and know that it can be uphill from here. I just want to feel normal and I finally am starting to feel that way. Thank you again. Tea
|Thu, 12-29-2005 - 9:04pm
So well put. We, really it's more I am at 5/6 months (July 8). Hubby has had since May 2001. Anyway...
I have days when the sky is blue the birds are singing and I am so happily married I surprise myself, but unfortunately there are days when I feel sucked under by a tidal wave. I too would love to tell hubby that "I forgive you," but I can't. Maybe it is because I don't still understand how someone who loves you so dearly can hurt you so badly.
I think the feeling of being disappointed again is the hurdle yet to tall to jump. The what if, is haunting. All could be sunshine and roses, and then BOOM! I thought it was sunshining before so...
Time heals all, how much time? I guess I will just have keep climbing and hope that I make it over that hurdle without getting hurt and that there isn't a ditch on the other side.
|Mon, 01-02-2006 - 12:10pm
Happy New Year, Tea!
I just wanted to drop you a quick line and thank you for posing this question to those who are further along in the rebuilding process than either you or I. It definitely helps to know what to expect (at any stage).
I hope your holidays were as wonderful as mine were (finally!)
|Sun, 01-08-2006 - 12:34pm
Hello bbalm you must post and let me know how you and hubby are doing. It's great to read such hopeful stories and the process. One thing I will not lie is there is still pain and we deal with it but it's definately different. Gone is that hopeless and lonely feeling. My husband has come a long way and I am very proud of that. In fact I have felt fabulous lately. It's amazing to me. I don't like to give new comers the wrong impression that every thing gets hunky dory but it really feels great to feel NORMAL!!!!
and happy. best wishes,
7mo of rebuilding and 9mo since my last dday when I found out the whole truth.....
|Mon, 01-09-2006 - 3:31pm
"I think the feeling of being disappointed again is the hurdle yet to tall to jump. The what if, is haunting. All could be sunshine and roses, and then BOOM! I thought it was sunshining before so..."
I understand about this fear, as do many others on this board. The way I try to handle this emotion is realizing that my H & I have finally turned a corner in the right direction. We've both laid all our cards on the table and we're ready to heal. The chance that he'll have another A is always going to be there in my mind, even though he says he learned his lesson and will never do it again. We're doing all we can do to get our marriage back on track and it's up to my H to prove to me that he can be trusted.
For me I look at it as a wait and see situation. My H is already doing small things to rebuild the trust so that helps my feelings a lot. If the worst happens and he has another A, knowing what I know now, I won't tolerate it. That's where we as BS's have power. Yes, it'll rip my heart out again, but since I'm choosing to stay in the marriage I'm willing to give it some time and see how things go. I try not to worry too much about possible future disappoinments because I'm trying to get rid of these obsessive, negative thoughts about the past 3 1/2 months, so I hate to add to that!!
I try to focus on the here and now, but I also try to look to the future realistically too and am making myself stronger to face whatever decisions I might have to down the road. Stay strong!
|Wed, 01-11-2006 - 2:17am
I haven't been on the site in awhile, I like the changes, we have our own heading now. I can't believe I am 18 months from DDay, there are days I can remember it detail by detail as if it were an hour ago.
I told our MC, I don't things will ever be the same, I have come to the realization that those anxiety attacks, or doubts I get are only my own insecurities. I cannot blame my H for my own insecurities. I think that is what bothers me now, is I never used to be that way, I now notice when he looks or talks or talks about another woman, and it bothers me, I refrain from asking stupid questions, like "How do you know her" "IS she married" "Does she know you are married". I did that for at least a year after DDay, and even though at times I want to ask, I do not.
That is what the MC said, I guess I am improving since I know it is my own insecurity and nothing he is warranting, and that I can control the same questions. The MC said, things will never be the same, there was something lost, there was grief, our marriage is no longer what it used to be. I think I am finally trying to accept this. The question it brings is will it be enough?
Always a question, always a doubt, when I never had them before...at this point I just want to find me again, that strong, independent, stand up gal I knew a year and a half ago...I think she is slowly coming back, and I know I am the only thing that is stopping her. Wishing you all a very Happy New Year!

4 Standard Tree Care Tips
Posted by admin in Gardening, Home Tips, Improvement on May 26, 2014
A well-chosen selection of trees can offer a beneficial element for any landscaped garden. They offer beauty, shade, and habitats for local wildlife. But, the trees that are poorly maintained can soon start to make the garden appear overgrown and run-down. Here are several steps to take care of the trees:
Many of the garden trees grow quite fast in the first few years and need water regularly. Insufficient watering for the young trees can mean a higher chance of disease or pest infestations, poor foliage development, or general stunted growth. If the local area doesn't experience enough natural rainfall to keep the soil moist, it will be necessary to give the trees at least two or three inches of water on a weekly basis. This should be enough to encourage active growth until the tree matures and becomes more resilient to the occasional dry period.
Similar to any other plant life, trees can benefit from a regular schedule of pruning. A proper approach to pruning ensures the trees have better resistance to illness, stimulates new growth, and helps maintain the busy and dense foliage.
Use the proper tools to carefully remove the branches that obstruct walkways or overhang buildings, as well as drooping limbs and suckers. Make sure the pruning tools are kept sharp to ensure a clean-cut is given to each branch. Dull blades can ripe and damage the tree branches, which can result in harmful pathogens entering the part of the tree left in place.
Also, avoid over-pruning the trees since this can be quite damaging. Tree topping or similar practices that remove large trunks or branches can have a negative impact on the tree and can even be fatal. Read the rest of this entry »
Natural Benefits of Vegetable Soy Wax Candles
Posted by admin in Healthy Family on May 19, 2014
Psychologists have long noticed the power that scents have on the memories, moods, and mannerisms of people, and in much the same way that music is claimed to calm the savage beast, the proper scent can tame your home's smells into a tranquil and serene environment. Rather than spraying room deodorizers into every conceivable nook and cranny of your home however, why not freshen the place up with the enchanting aromas of soy candles? Not only are soy candles biodegradable and burn longer than traditional paraffin candles, but soy candles are also known to have triple the fragrance properties of mass produced candles.
Biodegradable and Non-Toxic
Concern for the environment and your family's health dictate selecting soy candles as the perfect medium to provide the ultimate in relaxing ambience for your home. Vegetable wax candles are non-toxic and biodegradable, and they burn cleaner than paraffin wax candles thus greatly reducing the irritants associated with burning traditional candles. As such, they are not only non-carcinogenic, but they contain no pesticides or herbicides that can place your family's health at risk making them ideal for homes with children, pets, or people with breathing difficulties.
Burns Longer and Cleans Easier
Although soy candles may cost a bit more when you purchase them, you see where your money is going with the long burning time of the candles. When you consider that soy candles burn nearly a third as long as regular paraffin wax candles, owing to the lower melting point of soy wax, and fill the house with its fragrance during the entire lifetime of the candle, going soy is an excellent way to beautify your house and save money in the end. Additionally, when a tradition candle spills wax on your furniture, you are going at it with a razor blade to try to clean it up whereas soy wax cleans right up with a little bit of warm, soapy water.

Make Travelling Easy For You And Your Baby With Prams
Posted by admin in Babies Toddler, Travelling on May 15, 2014
Planning for a baby is quite exciting but when it comes to planning a new born's baby gear it can be confusing for new parents. As the first baby in the family brings a lot of joy and happiness with it, the entire family and the parents get together to give the best to the baby. In our busy life we have mastered the art of juggling between personal and professional life and often take our baby with us while we go to shop at the supermarket or for a walk to the park. It is best to keep your baby in a pram while you take him out.
History of pram
A pram is a baby transport designed like a four wheeled carriage and pushed by a person on foot. Short form of the British word perambulator, a pram is also known as baby carriage. A pram comes with a soft flat bottom which makes resting and lying down comfortable for your sleeping baby. A canopy that provides a half covering to the carriage keeps your baby safe from heat and dust during his outings. Designed with wheels, a pram makes transportation convenient. Developed in the 1800s, prams were known to people and associated with the aristocracy and high born during the Victorian era. The first pram was made of wicker in which the baby sat on it. However, with passing days, in the mid 1800s prams were redesigned to be pushed and pulled by the parents while the baby lay asleep. The common design of prams have varied through ages and redefined to suit the needs and comfort of parents and baby.
Types of Prams
There are different types of prams that are available online. While buying a pram for your baby it is important to know about the various features of each type. Designed along the traditional style, the 3 in 1 prams can be used as carrycot, pushchair and car seat. The newer versions of the 3 in 1 prams are equipped with pushchair seat unit that are removable. Hence, the pram can be converted into a travel system with a car seat. The 2 in 1 prams are ideal for newborn babies as they feature a compact design. The pram body usually flat to ensure comfort to newborns but with the growth of the baby, the pram can be converted into a stroller so that baby can be seated on it. Most of the 2 in 1 prams can be easily converted into a travel system by adding the car seat onto the chassis. Read the rest of this entry »

Meet Brian & Karen Stanek!
Brian and Karen Stanek are members of the WLVF team who will soon be representing us in Israel. Their work in Israel will include non-biased reporting from Israel on topics such as… Israel's national security; attacks on Israel and Israel's retaliatory strikes; the land (borders; properties; developments; etc…), foreign policy makers and their demands on Israel to comply; etc…; hosting interviews; and human interest stories. The Stanek's in essence, will be touching the lives of every class of Israel's citizens, from the noble to those that go unnoticed.
Presently the Stanek's are raising much needed support for their move to Israel and could use your help with either a onetime donation, and or a promissory commitment to a weekly or monthly amount. We ask that you make your contributions through your Church. If you have no Church, please make all donations payable to Landmark Baptist Church, 2020 E. Hinson Avenue, Haines City, FL, 33844. Be sure to mark the memo…The Staneks Israel.
Please help with much needed prayer and financial support to expedite the Stanek's arrival to Israel. The Stanek's have a long standing working relationship with our organization and will be providing us with periodic reports that will be broadcasted on WLVF Gospel 90.3 FM, and www.gospel903.com.
Brooke Jeanette Amos
Say "Hello" to Brooke Jeanette Amos. She is the first born child of Stephen and Donna Amos. Stephen is the host of "Midday Meditations" and also serves as our production manager. Brooke was born on May 19, 2010 at 4:59 p.m. She weighed in at 8 pounds and was 20.5 inches long.
Featured CDs for the Month of April
As many of you know, each month Midday Meditations and the Headin' Home Show feature a CD of the month. Each deejay respectively will play a song or two from their CD of the month and often give you some background information on the song, the artist, or the song writer.
This month during Midday Meditations, which airs each weekday from 10 a.m. to 12 noon, host Stephen Amos is featuring Greater Vision's CD "Hymns of the Ages." For this project Greater Vision endeavored to present the gospel chronologically from creation to the second coming of Christ. Some of the hymns included on this CD are "All Creatures of Our God and King," "The Stranger of Galilee," "Christ the Lord Is Risen Today," and "Jesus Is Coming Again Medley." Members of the Prague Symphony Orchestra join Greater Vision for this majestic collection of hymns.
Each weekday from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., the Headin' Home Show hosted by Lewis Cruz will feature a new CD by Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver. The recording is "Light On My Feet, Ready To Fly" and if you like down home, gospel bluegrass you are going to love this CD. It contains some fast paced, foot stompin' songs, along with some wonderful and poignant slow numbers. One song worth noting is "He Will Remember Me." It tells the story of a person suffering from Alzheimer's disease who finds peace in knowing that no matter who or what they forget, God will always remember them. Bluegrass great Dale Perry has rejoined the group and resumed his duties as banjo picker and bass singer. Lewis believes that this is one of the best recordings that Doyle Lawson has produced in recent years. Both the vocal harmonies and musicianship are stellar.
Sights & Sounds of Restorathon 2010
Restorathon 2010 was an amazing three days to say the least. It was truly an interactive event. Thousands listened via Gospel 90.3 FM and www.gospel903.com. Some were able to stop by "Restorathon HQ" and experienced both the sights and sounds of Restorathon in person. For the first time in Restorathon history we added a web cam which allowed those online to view Gospel 90.3′s studio during the last four hours of our revival on the radio. Another Restorathon first is a slideshow containing audio, pictures, and video of this year's activity. Click on any of the sldeshow links to watch it. We would like to give a very special "thank you" to Mrs. Carolyn Lee for producing the wonderful slideshow.

Every Saturday morning at 10 a.m. from November through March there will be some great gospel music, a gospel message, and a delicious meal. Throughout the season there are also some wonderful Senior Patriot trips to various sites and events in the area.
Yeehaw! You're invited to Round Up Sunday, November the 8th. On this day folks young and old will don their western garb as we try to "round up" as many visitors as possible for church that morning. Sunday school begins at 10 a.m. and the morning service follows at 11 a.m. A nursery for the infants and toddlers is available, and there are Sunday school classes for every age group. So polish up those cowboy boots, dust off that ten gallon hat, and come join us for Round Up Sunday.

We've been through so much together, especially this last year baby. I am so thankful to have someone in my life who treats me the way you do and knows me for me and truly loves me back. I'm just so happy and so very much in love. I can't wait for all of the experiences the future will bring. I'm scared for next month, but I'll be thinking of you 24/7 and I'm so very proud of you. Here's to the next year of the many more years to come…

PowerScout Hockey, a division of PowerScout Sports Inc., is the incorporation of its founders' 30+ years of experience in NHL statistics research focused on winning.
Today, PowerScout has become the industry leader in optical tracking technology for hockey. We work with NHL teams to provide the most advanced performance analysis ever made available in hockey. This technology was pioneered in 1995 by our partners Prozone Sports who have set the standard in the performance analysis industry. Prozone brought the technology to market for European 'soccer' (football) and have since worked with over 300 clubs and organizations worldwide, including the world's top professional sports teams such as Real Madrid FC, Manchester United FC and Arsenal FC, to name a few.
Using state-of-the-art ultra high resolution Sony cameras combined with advanced proprietary software, this technology was adapted to hockey in 2013. It tracks, tags and maps every player and puck location, providing the context to every single moment and virtually all ice-events in hockey. Teams can measure strengths and weaknesses of players in all area of performance including fitness, passing, receiving, possession, shooting, and much more. This will fundamentally change the way teams look at hockey.
NHL coaching staff, scouting staff and team management are provided with performance analysis on existing and prospect players, confirming their instincts and providing unbiased insights in ways that have never been possible before now – a first in the history of the NHL.

Fallen. Hook. Line. And Sinker.I don't like people touching me – especially if I do not know them well. I hate it, in fact. My personal bubble is my space and no one else's.
There are those people who love to bear hug others and wrap people up in their big embrace. I've had people do that after, like, the second time I've met them and I seriously take a turn to avoid seeing them again because I don't want them to do that to me again. If someone comes too near to my ears, I panic. My English teacher sprayed water in my face one day and I had no idea she was going to do it, I sprang out of my desk with a yelp. Every optician and doctor I've been to knows that I'll begin to flinch away if they want to look in my eyes or ears. Once I attended some masseur thingy with my sister and some friends and the girl practicing on me eventually gave up working by my eyes and ears. People near my face without my consent is dangerous for their own health… call it a nervous twitch… but I have often accidently quickly stepped away only to stumble onto someone else, swatted with my hand to put distance between us or flinch so much that it becomes unbearable for me and the person close to me.
My one friend has a habit of biting my finger if I point it at him and even though I put up with him trying to cut through my flesh, it becomes annoying because it actually hurts! Some days I feel like biting him back and ripping off a piece of his own flesh. O.o But, I'm no fan of meat, so, for not I'll just slap him. My cousins also do that to me when I scold them for smoking or drinking as excessively as they do, but they'll get to my shoulder, arm or something like that. When family members kiss me on my cheek or forehead, I grimace. Some of my girl and guy friends and I will greet each other by planting a light peck just to the side of the lips. But those that do that have learnt that it's less than a slit second long. "Touching" isn't on my "To-Do" list. Neither is "Biting." =/
But for some queer reason, my neck and collar bone has always been a sensitive place for touch.
Lost strands of lonely hair falling over my neck…
A gentle gesture of a hand on my neck…
Brushing finger tips slowly along my neck…
Faint fluttering by eyelashes dabbing my neck…
Warm air from a mouth ajar escaping to my neck…
Light tickles of a tongue tracing across my neck…
Silent bursts of blood vessels from forceful inhales through the mouth on my….
The pressure of lips pressed against my neck…
A sharp jab of teeth carving temporary indents…
And, whether it's fortunate or unfortunate, one certain EP member tends to stray to exactly there. My sarcastic wit flies out the window. I am distracted. Not even distracted – I just can't think or react. For once I'm submissive. I'm weak: my knees, my arms, my body. my mind. I'm drowning in a sea of helpless surrender. I'm his without him even having to try.
add me .. im not into physical contact at all either,, u will see if we chat ever
great story plus pix to go with it... who needs to read a book today? that did it for me :)
This girl I dated kept telling me that, when I kissed her neck or collarbone, she couldn't think of anything anymore... she was completely distracted. So of course I kissed her there all the time.
beautiful pictures and nice story
Given enough time, and the right situations, falling for anyone is possible.
I could...
*applauds bleed*

Hell yeah..... i love it..... being nibbled, and the gentle stroke of hot breath on my vulnerable neck...

I just want to know when men are going to wake up and read these stories. I don't know of any women that doesn't melt when her neck is kissed, licked and bitten yet men rarely stray that way. I've even had men go weak at the knees with a little neck nibbling so it's not just us ladies either.
Well I am an officially ordained priest (really) so if for some reason the fellow is unable to show. . .

Fallen in love with that gorgeous, delightful creature you're marrying. :)
Priests are religious.. We need a Justice of the Peace >.>

Fallen? I've fallen many times..
Mmm - need a pries to perform the ceremony? ;P

Have you yet fallen?
Probably not, different time zones and all..

I'm a little..
Mmm - I might be able to do something dramatic . . . any particular time?

Should I be frightened?
Ah..

The wedding is Friday. I guess you'll wait until "If any of you can show just cause why they may not lawfully be married, speak now; or else forever hold your peace." and interrupt?

She stole a kiss from me in another story's comments o.o
Mmm - I don't get jealous easily, and I tend to try and solve conflict as nonviolently as possible. :P

Besides, I haven't registered you two as serious enough to be dangerous - yet.
You don't instinctively?
Am I supposed to fight?
*watches with amused smile*
Oh, of course my dear.
Interesting story . Maybe you should overcome your touch phobia, learn giving massage to someone else . There is a lot of nerves in the neck , try foot massage as a beginning . Have fun
Just for thought-provoking, we'll jump off the cliff into the water, climb aboard a boat and go to the island, where there will be an underground choo-choo that will carry us to a roller-coaster park, rented out just for us. As the day gets darker, so will our inhibitions.. ;)

Wrestling, hide-and-seek-ninja, throwing-fork tag... just the beginning..

Any of this can change for your pleasure.

text: World-renowned photographer Rankin has re-launched his website with One Dress, a collection of images of famous women wearing an identical Gucci dress. Among the women photographed in the dress are Jerry Hall, Lucy Liu and Marianne Faithfull. Each photograph has a different feel, as each woman chose their pose and the way they wanted to wear the dress. Rankin comments: The Gucci dress is a potent symbol of a strong woman and the single defining garment of the early twenty-first century .the dress is a classic cut yet is not easy to wear and I was amazed each model bought something so distinct to it. One Dress will be launching on 15th of September, and you can access it at www.rankin.co.uk.

My self-summary
Write a little about yourself. Just a paragraph will do.
What I'm doing with my life
Don't overthink this one; tell us what you're doing day-to-day.
I just moved back to London, not sure what the future holds but I'm excited to take it on. I know that I want to make my own way on my own terms. Scary stuff but so liberating!
I'm really good at
Go on, brag a little (or a lot). We won't judge.
Being a good listener who can also be honest and up front or my quick wit. I'm reallll good at that too.
The first things people usually notice about me
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
I'm a short quiet person then they notice that I'm still short but less quiet. I have a quick wit that sometimes can be awkward or "too soon".
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Help your potential matches find common interests.
I love an array of movies, shows, music and food. I use to be a book worm as a kid but have lost that love of read as an adult.
The six things I could never do without
Think outside the box. Sometimes the little things can say a lot.
My family, friends, art, movies, food and oxygen.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Global warming, lunch, or your next vacation… it's all fair game.
Short term. I'm no longer living my life in the future so I'll go a week max planning things out. I've also started living out of my head more which means I'm beginning to find out who I am without all the societal parameters of who I'm suppose to be. It's very cool!
On a typical Friday night I am
Netflix and takeout, or getting your party on — how do you let loose?
Either at home relaxing or out with my friends giggling.
The most private thing I'm willing to admit
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
It's maybe not private but I LOVE trashy gossip articles or magazines and I am quite proud of my knowledge in pop culture, I think it's a way to put your woes in perspective. I know some pop trivia that'll blow your mind! Or not cause ya know some people just don't care, either way.
You should message me if

The Jack Rabbit Flat Zinfandel is a dark ruby color that offers big style Zinfandel characters with powerful sweet jammy fruit characters of blackberry, cherry, and plum. On the palate, the wine has a bright entry with ripe flavors of berry and plum. The fruit characters, finishing with a hint of vanilla, balance the firm tannins. The block called "Jack Rabbit Flat" Zinfandel comes from the Fox Creek Vineyard, which is one of the classic ancient vineyards of Amador County that was planted over 80 years ago.

KNOXVILLE (WATE) - Police have arrested a man accused of setting a South Knoxville warehouse on fire Thursday evening.
The building is a vacant warehouse located at 2110 Chapman Highway, next to Kern's Bakery. It has been empty for five or six months.
According to Capt. DJ Corcoran, a passerby saw the flames and called 911 around 9:30 p.m. The fire was under control by 11:15 p.m., but crews expect they will still be battling the flames until early Friday morning. Corcoran says the building is a total loss.
A homeless man, Curtis B. Dunbar, 62, is suspected of starting the fire. He is being held in the Knox County Jail on charges of public intoxication and arson.
Knoxville police say Dunbar was seen leaving the building and going across the street to a liquor store. He allegedly told store customers he had set the building on fire.
Police say Dunbar told them he lit papers and a rug to burn the building because it was "a Confederate building."
No injuries were reported.
