By Kenneth H. Carter Jr.
For 28 years, I was a pastor in local congregations. Besides the recurring pattern of the Christian year, celebrations of Christmas and Easter, weddings, memorial services, visitation of the sick and confirmation classes, the request for intercessory prayer is a constant.
On the way out of a service, an elderly man will say quietly, "Please pray for my wife"; an email message arrives: "Please pray for my sister who lives in another state." Or the request may be more direct: "Pray for me. I have a real challenge ahead."
I have always responded that I would pray. But in reality, and in hindsight, my actual response was at times perfunctory: a fleeting thought or just writing down a name on a page, to give to others later. I was being asked for spiritual help and attention, but I was not giving the request the engagement it merited.
Even more troubling was the knowledge that many expect the ordained – those set apart – to have the expertise and the time to provide this spiritual support. Intercessory prayer is not exclusive to ordained clergy – we share intercession with all of God's people.
Here I will share some of what I have learned so that you may be more prepared when someone says to you, "Pray for me."
The Bucket
The words pray for me signal a person in need. And when someone is in need – because of illness, a broken relationship, loss of work, a spiritual crisis or grief, it is as if he or she is carrying a heavy bucket – a bucket filled with emotion, filled with grief, filled with confusion, filled with disappointment.
I learned about the bucket image from a pastor friend. This powerful image of the bucket has elucidated intercessory prayer for me.
A person in need or in grief is carrying around this bucket of emotion. An intercessor is one who comes alongside that individual with an empty bucket. The person in need gives his or her agenda to the intercessor, and the intercessor receives that agenda as the work of God, namely prayer. Intercession is carried out by those with enough space in their lives to include the needs of others: family, friends, congregations, communities and the world.
Emptying Ourselves
Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited, but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness. And being found in human form, he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death – even death on a cross. (Philippians 2:5-8)
Intercessors follow the example of Jesus, and we need to consider the cost of having the mind that was in Christ Jesus. Intercession requires emptying oneself on behalf of another.
When we worship, we move into the presence of a Holy God. We offer gifts of praise and silence, listening and humility, adoration and repentance. We place these gifts upon the altar. We gaze upon the greatest act of intercession, the cross of Jesus Christ. And we remember that Jesus continues to pray for us. He is the great high priest, seated at the right hand of God.
To make intercession is to worship God. All along the way, we are praising the God who shares our prayers, who is "our help in ages past, our hope for years to come." We "lay aside every weight and sin that clings so closely" (Hebrews 12:1). We empty ourselves. We look to Jesus, who emptied himself, who endured the cross, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of God (Hebrews 12:2).
As you journey more deeply into a life of intercession, imagine that you are a part of a great procession approaching the throne of grace. You are not alone. You are laying your burdens before the altar. You are preparing for something. Perhaps you are preparing for a more profound ministry of intercession.
I have learned to honor the request "pray for me." It is a cry for help, however it may be expressed. It is an acknowledgment that we are limited and finite creatures. It is a trust placed in a higher power. It is always prompted by a situation that would not be desired: an illness, a loss, a need, a crisis, a doubt – and yet it is always an occasion for the grace of God, whose power is made perfect in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).
That intersection – God's power and our weakness – lies at the heart of intercession. May the grace of God lead you into a deepened life of prayer for others.

Instagram Photo Dump (June 2013)
June was my back-to-reality month after all the happy cray that went down during April and May. For most people, it signaled that start of another school year. For me, it felt more like August, when all the midterms are supposed to be. Suddenly, my workload tripled and it seemed as if the previous months existed so I could prepare myself accordingly. Ugh. Just a few weeks/months before I can relax with that secret project I keep on mentioning, but in the meantime… HUSTLE!
At least I'm not 3 months late with my IG Photo Dumps anymore, though I'm well-aware that I still have 2 Kyoto posts and an MOFW Japan pending. Right now, I'm thinking if I should just merge it with my upcoming MOFW Hong Kong since I tend to buy Japanese brands there anyway. Decisions, decisions!
Anyhow, here's a collection of photos I took back in June. Wow, I was really up and about. Little by little, as I post more IG Photo Dumps, you'll get to see how much of a hermit I've become since then!
1) Late beach outing with my friends. A week later this was taken, rainy season finally arrived in the country, making it almost impossible to enjoy weekends with zero chance of rain.
2) Posted this on my Twitter, but it's related to the beach photo. That out-of-town trip was the last trip our 7-year-old group of friends was going to have in a while. Kiks is now taking his masters in an art school in San Francisco, and he won't be back until 2015! Woot, good luck to him!
3) New (and affordable) accessories from Just G. I haven't been able to visit them last summer so I was surprised to see so many new designs from them!
4) What's an IG Photo Dump without food porn? This is my favorite seafood salad from UCC. Yes, it has a ton of fried stuff in it. Makes the whole thing taste really good.
5) Selca from the mirror in Just G Megamall. Wearings INGNI top, EMODA pants, bag and necklace, and Gold Dot wedges on a busy errands day.
6) Look who I bumped into on the way out of the mall!
7) Roasted bone marrow from Village Tavern in High Street Central.
8) Another selfie. For some reason, I have so many selfies from last June and almost zero for July-August. Stress, what are you doing to meee
There is always time for annoying selfies.
9) Man, was I vain last June or what?
Wearing a cute cut-out Tracyeinny top!
10) ViVi's popular July issue which came with a free snidel shirt. I've been seeing the shirt so often in Japanese street snaps that it has also become one of my favorite everyday shirts.
11) I don't know why I look so different here, but it was a good bangs day. This was also the last proper photo of my accidental ombre which I got so tired of eventually.
Wearing an Apartment 8 halter top!
12) I visit Marufuku in Ortigas every month, it seems.
13) Trissey on Independence Day!
14) Our first meeting with the CANMAKE Philippines team at WIld Flour in Podium. L-R: Crissey, Arbee, me, Eri, Sachie and Bea.
15) Went to Caffe Bene to work and was easily tempted to get a mango crunch cake. #skinnyfatproblems
16) Darker hair color fresh from the salon. It stayed this way for about 1 1/2 weeks until it gradually faded to the lighter ash brown I've been sporting recently.
This is actually a mix of different levels of ash brown, since I was really set on killing the accidental ombre caused by my bleached ends. The dye used for the bleached parts were a bit darker than the one used for my roots, so it's hard to say what exact color this is!
Visit my hairstylist Lena at Park Jun's in Glorietta if you're interested in this color, but I'm not sure if it's going to be as ashy if you've never had your hair bleached before. Try it anyway!
17) With David and Lissa at the Aeropostale Aero Jam!
18) Dropped by Cupcakes by Sonja's since I was in Glorietta. Shang branch, please open soon!
19) Intentionally changed the way I did my make-up and went for a simple eyes-bold lips combo for once.
20) Ikkoryu Fukuoka Ramen on a rainy day.
21) Thanks @houseofjelly on IG for contributing to my already-junk-filled lifestyle. Can't say no to Nutella and green tea Crunch.
22) @polishedinthecity on IG gave me the prettiest colors! OPI Every Month is Oktoberfest and My Vampire is Buff, ZOYA Toni, Yara and Skylar.
23) Straight hair, don't care!
24) The placement of the bread in this dish reminds me of bunny ears. This is the truffle pasta I always get in Locale!
25) Fooled around and called this my high fashion alter ego, lol. Actually, I just finished my make-up and decided to camwhore before blowdrying my hair. Check out my pretentious model squint.
26) Back to my normal self! Pink cheeks, pink lipstick and soft curls. :)

Instagram Photo Dump (May 2013)
Almost three months overdue, but not entirely irrelevant yet! May was a special month. I went on a sponsored trip to Tokyo, thanks to EMODA, but I also stuffed myself with so much food, it's surprising I haven't doubled my weight yet considering my no-diet, no-exercise lazy ass lifestyle. Thanks mom for the metabolism. FOR NOW!
Also, my IG is @tgosingtian and I use Afterlight or Camera 360 for most of my photos. Will make an updated post on the photography apps that I use soon! Keep an eye out for that!
Warning, food porn ahead!
1) Fatty but awesome ramen from Mitsuyado Sei-men along Jupiter! Met up with the girls of Stores Specialists Inc (SSI) to discuss some collabs!
2) Black, red and white! Thanks to Crowned Velvet for the one on the left and Mikee Mariel Luxe for the one on the right.
God, I can't even begin to imagine what I'll do with all my iPhone 4S cases once I upgrade to a higher model. My current iPhone still works perfectly so I'll wait for iPhone 6 to come out, I guess!
3) Brotzeit at Shang! Thanks to my brother Calel for introducing this place to us!
4) Because I ran out of Ramune Pink a long time ago, I got myself a new one back when I was in Osaka/Kyoto. The new packaging is a touchy subject, as a lot of people prefer the old one better. Me? I'm part of the very few who prefer this one than the black/silver one with stripes. I'm very partial to black/gold.
5) My default flats nowadays. Pointy shoes have a certain sophisticated feel to them, and I love Poppy Red Shoes for making these weaved ones available for all of us girls to enjoy!
6) Because Kozui (along Tomas Morato) will always be one of my favorites EVER. I really wish they'd open more branches.
7) Paid a visit to the new Morellato in SM North Edsa and got to customize my own bracelets! I had so much fun mixing and matching a whole selection of charms.
8) Annoying selfie! I liked my make-up here so I had to. I almost never wing my eyeliner nowadays, but I used to be so addicted to this extreme style the last few months!
9) Yummy oysters at Locale Gastropub in City Golf.
10) My fave Sea Salt Caramel Latte from Umami at The Grove.
11) My first hearty (because of the bowl) not-so-hearty (because of the size) meal in Narita Airport. Most of the restaurants were already closed by the time my brother and I arrived.
12) OOTD! SLY dress, Lowrys Farm denim jacket, and INGNI headband. Not in photo: black Converse hi-tops!
13) Straight bangs and side bangs! Had pasta dinner with pretty Camille and EMODA's Kumiko somewhere in Shibuya before the touchMe show.
14-15) OOTDs! EMODA everything. Even iPhone case.
16) My kind of accessories. GYDA bracelet, L.CHANCE rings. All from Japan!
17) Another selfie. Tried out the hair chalk / soft pastels that Glam Effect sent me. Pretty cool but super drying! I'll stick to photoshopping ombres!
18) Burger Mac & Cheese from Torch in Greenhills! Cast iron mac and cheese served with US Angus Beef patty, OMG.
19) Thanks SNS Accessories for the love and heart rings! Chanel Pearl Drop and Emprise on my nails.
20) OOTD! Dress from PINZA Shibuya 109.
21) Another selfie! EMODA top and earrings.
22) NY Cheescake and milk tea from Subspace Coffee House in Ortigas. Rg and I love hanging out at this dainty Korean cafe! If you're a fan of K-pop, I'm pretty sure you'll recognize all the songs that they play here. :) Sometimes they even do latte art inspired by certain boy/girl groups!
23) Vidakush sent me these perfect knuckle rings! Simple, just the way I like my accessories.
24) That awkward moment when I started to not look like myself. My hair went back to blonde over time, and my bangs? Non-existent! Gives off a mature feel, yes?
Got a haircut soon after because my forehead felt naked and I got so conscious when I looked at the mirror and found myself looking like my age (or even older). Bangs can really add to a more youthful appearance. Can I just look 18 forever? Lol
25) Started the month with food, and ended it with food. Happy Wildflour opened in Podium recently! So near where I live <3 Tried their apple pie and latte. Both were lovely!

Instagram Photo Dump (April 2013)
April was the time when I went to Osaka, Kyoto and Nara, but for some reason I didn't really bother documenting other stuff that happened during the rest of the month. But I took a ton of pictures of food, which officially makes April my ultimate pig-out month so far. Even in Japan, I was eating like every 3 hours or so, lol.
My IG is @tgosingtian btw!
1) Obligatory selfie to start this post! What's Instagram without annoying selfies?
2) My favorite salad from La Creperie. IT HAS EGG AND BACON. NOM
3) Nachos from Friday's because le boyfriend loves nachos in general and could probably eat them everyday.
4) Ramen at Kichitora of Tokyo
5) Apple pie, most chocolate cake, black sesame and salted caramel ice cream!
6) I can't remember what happened during this day but all I know is that I ordered pizza. And it was good.
7) Sleepy dog! (Follow Bailey on IG @mybebebailey)
8) Massive Hiroshima Oysters at Marufuku!
9) This was just 2 months ago when Bailey was still sooo small! Now she is 36 pounds or so!
10) Thanks to @crownedvelvet on IG for these cases!
11) Le Bunny Bleu is finally in Manila thanks to Yhansy!
12) Wonderful dinner at TWG. Spinach Fettuccini and TWG Tea Salad.
13) Macarons in all colors! At TWG
14) The most adorable nail polish, thanks to Rin of Luscious Closet (@lusciouscloset on IG)
15) My cousin Gilainne got married! <3
16) Flowers for the bridesmaids and sponsors
17) Took this picture of her right after she got ready! Blooming!
18) With her new husband Justin! Congratulations guys!
19) Touchdown Osaka!
20) Had okonomiyaki as my first meal as soon as I landed in the airport.
21) Osaka Castle!
22) Buy all the lashes in Japan! (I have a fear of running out of false lashes for some reason so I tend to splurge on a lot whenever I can)
23) Selfie! Pink cheeks and pink lips!
24) Make-up close-up.
25) Yummy beef at Morita-ya in Kyoto.
26) Earrings and top from EMODA, jacket from Lowrys Farm, skirt-leggings from Yesstyle.
27) Lowrys Farm shirt, Motel Rocks pants, INGNI jacket, EGOIST bag.
28) My last meal in Osaka, huhu.
29) Wore my Casio Sheen watch at the airport. Got it from Time Depot.
30) Thanks to Mariah of @bluedotpastries on IG for the cupcakes!
31) Went to Starbucks and the barista put this smiley on my drink! Cute!
32) My own pair from the new Keds x Taylor Swift collection! Thanks @KedsPH on IG!
33) Summer feel selfie!
34) Got these goodies from Kate Spade Saturday in Japan! Huu, I wish they'd open in other parts of Asia too. ;_;
35) WOODCEPTION! I got this iPhone case for my boyfriend somewhere in Shinsaibashi. Made from real wood! :D

Instagram Photo Dump (March 2013)
1) First dibs! Got these ob for shu uemura products at the intimate event they held to launch these adorable limited edition goodies.
2) Camwhoring with my Haurex watch from Time Depot and MAC Pure Zen lipstick from Lannel Boutique
3) Macarons at Bar Dolci.
4) Wrong Ramen at Burgos Circle, The Fort.
5) 8 scoops of this Chocolate Earthquake from Swensen's. Shared this with my ice-cream loving friends, and finished this bowl in 5 minutes.
6) Fuss-free all-black outfit on a busy errands day! Black oversized top and leggings from Topshop.
7) One of my ESPRIT looks!
8) Ikkoryu Fukuoka Ramen at the new Shangri-la East Wing.
9) Finally cut my hair short! My hair was too damaged that I couldn't go out without curling it (and further damaging it in the process) or hiding the damaged parts in a bun. Ugh. At one point, I couldn't comb through the ends anymore so I had no choice but to cut it all off. Coincidentally, I was obsessing over long bobs for so long (thus the fluffy wig in my outfit photos last month) that the 7 or so inch cut didn't hurt too bad.
I'm currently a new and loyal customer at Park Jun's in Glorietta! A nice Korean girl named Lena cuts and colors my hair now. This is where I also buy my new MUCOTA (Japanese brand) shampoo, conditioner and hair treatment. So far it's been wonderful in reviving my close-to-dying hair.
How did I achieve this hair length? I had saved photos of my girl crush Olivia Palermo's long bob (or "lob") on my phone! Showed it to Lena and she got it instantly. I was so happy. It was all so cathartic too.
As of this writing, it's about 1 1/2 inches shorter, thanks to Rumiringo and Rui Kotobuki inspiration <3
10) With my brother's girlfriend Farrah who is just the cutest girl ever! <3
11) At the Lacoste L!ve event with David and Lissa. DAVID'S JACKET, I COVET.
12) Reunited and it feels so good. Not an entirely new combination of bloggers, if you've been following my blog for a while now. Comment if this group looks familiar :)
13) Wearing my book print top and jelly bag from Lacoste L!ve.
14) Chanel Fatal Rouge polish thanks to I Do Nails and Chapi Green lenses from Japanese Candy. I'm always wearing pink blush and pink lipstick now. I can't remember the last time I opted for coral or red…
15) With Kana Odawara-Evangelista (our translator), Yoshio Koiwai, Youhei Harada, Shudai Shiota, Daisuke Hashimoto, Katsuya Inagaki and Yuuga Suzuki! HAKUHODO (with TNC, Inc.) conducted an interview about lifestyle and trends among young people, and in my case, they focused more on fashion, cosmetics, travels, and the other things that I write here on my blog!
We also talked about my previous trips to Japan, and how I found out about Japanese culture and fashion. One of them ended up singing the first line to L'arc's The Fourth Avenue Cafe when I mentioned how my older brothers have been fans for as long as I can remember.
16) Thanks to @crownedvelvet and @quirky_minds (on IG) for these iPhone cases!
17) US Ribeye and oyster teppanyaki at Akira in the new Shangri-la East Wing! Shang has always been my favorite mall ever since I was a kid, and my family often goes there for dinner or shopping. Most of the time I would bump into Crissey as well because it's also her family's favorite hangout!
18) Picked this baby girl up from a trusted labrador breeder outside Manila. Welcome to the Gosingtian family, baby Bailey! We had to think of a name that started with the letter B as Bailey's parents' names also started with the same letter. My brother's initial suggestion was to name her Bog. Bog the dog, lol. I was like, "No way! It's totally not a cute girl name!" :( (edit: or even a name fit for anyone or anything that is as cute as this)
So I named our first family dog Bailey. Our driver called her Billy Joe when he first thought it was a boy. Then he changed it to Billie Jean when he found out it was a girl, hahaha
Everyone's attention is now focused on her. <3
19) Macarons at Bizu!
20) And yet another heavy dinner at Borough. Where I order the same thing. EVERY SINGLE TIME. Darn it, Brooklyn Omelette. Why do you have to be so good? My cholesterol is not pleased.
21) Just one of those lazy, minimal make-up days…
22) ONIONS. ONIONS EVERYWHERE! Had dinner with the family at Lugang in Greenhills. My dad's choice, of course! Chinese cuisine is my least favorite but…
23) …xiao long bao is my only exception. <3
24) I keep doing this pose now. Sad attempt to show off my current nail colors and arm/finger candy at the same time, heehee
25) Bailey after one week with us. My mom has been so patient and loving with her, which I think can buy me and my siblings some time before she starts talking about grandchildren.
Of course, most of Bailey's stuff are pink. Even her first water bowl was a cute heart-shaped pink one that she absolutely loved playing with. And you know how all labradors love water… (we eventually got her one of those water bottle dispenser things that you attach to her crate so it's easier and a lot less messy)
26) Ended the month of March with a giant plate of sashimi. <3

Gingrich is good for a laugh but not much more at this point. I love to hear him go after the vulture capitalists as this provides ammo for Obama to handily defeat Willard in November.
Gingrich's attack on "urban sophisticates" was laughable. This is boogie-man rhetoric. By any definition, he is an urban sophisticate, having lived in Washington DC for the past several decades, gotten wealthy as a lobbyist, shopping at Tiffany's, wearing a Patek Philippe watch, "the Rolls Royce of watches," for his 1 March 2009 New York Times Magazine cover photo.
Some facts: Home ownership rates in the US have been in the 60% range over the last 50 years, creeping up from the low 60s to the high 60s over that period, regardless of who controlled Congress, or who was president. Yes, the rates have moved up and down a bit, in part reflecting the state of the economy, but they are higher today than a half century ago.
One not too surprising fact: home ownership rates increase as income increases: per 2011 Census report #s: households with an income equal to or above the median family income have an ownership rate north of 80%. Households with an income below the median have an ownership rate of just over 50%. Ownership rates also increase with age. People settle down, begin a career, raise a family, buy a home.
Remember, too, that small business owners use their homes for sources of cash to fund their business through home equity loans, lines of credit or refinancings. Steve Odland
If you toss a frisbee in Newts general direction…he backflips before making the catch.
Good boy.
@Steve Odland
You should be speaking in the past tense there. Not happening now or into the foreseeable future.
I am a social and fiscal conservative, a believer in small government and a small footprint, a believer that the free market and efficiency can work together, hand-in-hand… and that is exactly why I am an urbanist.
Small government is like a small brain, all the while mega-corporates span countries and governments, bumpkins like Bossi ride their tractors dreaming of 1812…
I love watching these Republican aristocrats trying to pretend that they understand the lives of the 99%. Pure comedy Gold.
well! if the 'urban sophisticates' don't understand, newt, what do you think of the position of the 'dandies'?
the 'urban dandies' are much smarter than the silly 'sophisticates.' right, newton?
I believe that Newt's quote was payback for this paragraph from the Reckless Endangerment book by NY Times reporter Gretchen Morgenson and consultant Joshua Rosner:
"There to celebrate the Fannie Mae commitment was none other than Newt Gingrich, the Georgia Republican who was Speaker of the House of Representatives and a big proponent of reducing government's size. "Fannie Mae is an excellent example of a former government institution fulfilling its mandate while functioning in the market economy," Gingrich crowed, not quite accurately, for there was nothing "former" about Fannie Mae's government status. "Fannie Mae has had a regional presence in Atlanta for over 40 years and the announcement of a partnership office demonstrates its continued commitment to affordable housing in the Atlanta metropolitan area."
When he says Urban Sophisticates, what he means is smart and educated people. I don't understand how anyone with any intelligence could even listen, let alone vote for this guy. He's cheated on 3 wives, among other things. How can you vote for a person who doesn't follow through on his words. American is stupid and his relevance is this election cycle a reflection of that. Repubitards are so afraid of the big and bad black guy that they are willing support any least intelligent, rational, and honest person. I'll vote for Republican because they will destroy American all around them and I'll stand to benefit with my rental homes and other business interests.
You are precisely right on your assessment of Republicans. I speak to many people in the immigrant community (legal and illegal) and 99% of them are on the same page as well. What we are witnessing here in America is birth of the US Nazi party. Their GOP/Nazi agenda is big business corruption, money over people, dogma over intellect, hate mongering, fear and wars. I only don't get how voting for them would benefit any of your businesses, unless you were sarcastic?
What's wrong with living in an apartment and using mass transit? Isn't it better to rent an apartment I can afford instead of buying a house I can't afford?
Newt have you ever once considered that those of us, who have bought property in cities, are doing so to help the country? I purchased a condo which cost more than most of these cheaply made northern virginia homes out in the boondocks in order to be closer to my job and the city. To build a sense of community in our area, with new culture, new vitality, new entrepreneurial connections, and a thousand other reasons. I conserve my gas because I think that national security and military uses should come first, and just like our grandparents (aka the Dad that you are clearly rebelling against by being so ignorant) did during WWII we are rationing this gas.
So keep sneering at us but once your generation is feeble and dependent our much more educated and sophisticated generation won't be very kind to the caretakers of our country which nearly sent it into bankruptcy with false economics.
- A real citizen
What's wrong with living in the city? I live in Downtown Miami, and take the Metro. By purchasing an apartment in the heart of the city, I'm helping to bring back life to our city center and not promote suburban sprawl, by buying some cheap, cookie cutter home out in the middle of nowhere. Buying in the city makes me more proud than any suburban home could do.
When I lived in the suburbs I never saw my neighbors. In fact, I knew more about their cars which left their garages than I knew about the individuals. Now I live in the city and I know all of my neighbors. It just snowed but I know one of my neighbors will shovel it since I'm away and they know if they're gone and I wasn't I'd do it for them. That's community.
I own a home (soon to own two) and I take the metro….seriously Newt?
One of the greatest drawbacks to the recovery is the moneypit coastal cities which require far too much infrastructure per capita. Clearly, in a Cloud Economy we can finally decouple a lot of work from commuting, and with A.O.D. (Auto Oriented Development) and sparse design we can spread out centralized work. High Speed Rail and Boeing composite planes could make a 500 mile commute possible cheaply. The mindset of old urban density is hamstringing our progress into the 21st Century.
@John Bailo – you cannot be serious unless you are some shill for Fanny or Freddy. The ecological impact and efficiency of eastern cites is BECAUSE they are so densely populated. The mortgage meltdown didn't hit her ein New York, it hit in the god forsaken suburbs and exurbs – it is extremely expensive and inefficient to run roads, sewer, water and utilities to sparsely populated areas.
Urban density is the only thing saving many states and regions. If you don't think this is true, compare New York City with Las Vegas.
@John You can't be serious. Cities less efficient than suburbs in terms of infrastructure spending per capita? Take a basic American history or urban development course or look at Detroit. Suburbs, and the idea that everyone needs their own car, TV, washing machine and fenced-in house is the definition of inefficient are killing this country.
John, the reason cities have more infrastructure per capita is that the serve as nodes for the rest of the "capita".
The George Washington Bridge is not just about New York City.
In historical fact, cities appeared at natural locations for infrastructure nodes.
For a historical counter-example, look at the history of Newport, Rhode Island. At one point it was a peer of other colonial settlements. But- it wasn't in a good node location. Infrastructure avoided it. Boston and New York surged ahead.
In short, your analysis is backwards, because it would imply that if you removed the cities but not the people, and somehow leveled the population density, the total infrastructure requirement would go down- which is simply wrong. If you were to somehow randomly distribute the population geographically, and they had to recreate their infrastructure networks, you would still see high density zones- cities- emerge at the logical node points, as surely as hot dog vendors tend to cluster in areas of high lunch time pedestrian traffic.
"I remember the feeling my mother had…"
Wow. That's some serious empathy there, Newt. Clearly you're the right choice for America.
This was obviously written by an "ivory tower" journo! The tone is snide and disinterested in the message of his subject. The article lacks imagination of possible solution, and an understanding of the history that allowed us to create what we have, and the author to have a place to post.
It was personal property rights that allowed us to fly, and drive, and be cool in the summer. This is because people made those things. They made them because the founders told them the fruits of their labor would be theirs to trade! These very people, without the help of government, devised the assembly line. These private bicycle mechanic types dragged bundles of typed lumber to kitty hawk to beat the Smithsonian Institution to powered flight. That's imagination!
The author gets his third paragraph backwards. The general is specific, and vice versa. How did that get by editing?
Production capital is created by private individuals. If they are good managers, they can form their own assembly line of individuals trading their time and effort to help build something valuable. In this case, valuable means something that someone else will pay for!
We got here without government. Most of the homes in America are their without Fannie Mae's or Freddie Mac's involvement. We are in the current financial mess, because no one in power will own up to that FACT that those GSE's failed, their solution was unworkable, and the time spent making them work was wasted. Note that we haven't even started on the possible criminal activities within the beltway.
Newt was obligated to support Freddie Mac, by contract. Newt's company took in nearly 100 times less than Damon Corporation was fined for activities directed by Mitt Romney while Bain owned them. Newt has been a small force, big impact idea man from the beginning. His ideas deserve more than the drivel in this article!
The mortgage meltdown did hit New York City like everywhere else in the world. New York isn't the only city on the planet immune to such things.

Hello again,
just four more questions and after that I am hopefully set =).
1. It is possible to disale the search button? It doesnt seem to work.
2. Is it possible to set the heading (to h4 instead of h2) for the sidebar, check out hjoverktyg.com/produkter/pelarstyrda-verktyg/ and as you see the name "Pelarstyrda verktyg" is to long to fit on one row.
3. Do you know if qTranslate works with your theme? Or if you have suggestion on any other multilanguage plugin. I need the site in Swedish and in English.
4. Are you planning to put in the filter function for the Portfolio in the future?
Thanks a ton =)

I had my eyebrows tattooed yesterday but they are very dark and look odd against my hair colour. Can anyone reassure me that they will go lighter and look more natural and not look like two caterpillars on my face as they do at present.
I was bought up in the 70's when thin eyebrows were all the rage and since then I have always plucked my eyebrows and have never grown them back. I had them tattooed in 1997 and the lady that done them just done 2 thin lines but didn't give me any shape. I have put up with them ever since and have spent years penciling them in as the tattoos faded. However,I finally decided to have them tattooed again and have some shape addded as I realised that 2 thin lines looked silly and out of date, but am now wishing I hadn't gone through with it. I don't know if it is due to the fact I look so different, or if it is due to the fact the colour doesn't look right, all I know is that I never want to leave the house again!
My husband and my daughter tell me they look much better than when I used to pencil them in, and they are trying to reassure me they look fine, but I really don't believe them, I feel they are just trying to be kind to me as they know this is stressing me out. I want to scream everytime I look in the mirror and wish I could turn back the clock.
I have taken a week off work hoping they will settle down, and even though it is early days and the lady that done them reassured me they would go 30% lighter after 7 days I am already starting to wish I had not had them done as they look so false.
I am due to go back next month for a top up, but at the moment I wish I could reverse the process!
Is there anyone out there that felt the same way as me, and if so did it get any better after a week once it had healed?
Your answers would be most appreciated.
Many thanks!

Thank you for your reply.
Yes, you are right. After the third day the scabs fell off and hey presto they were much lighter and looked so much better. Luckily it was hot during those 3 days and I was able to go out in a pair of large sun glasses!
Now they look great, and I wish I had had them done slightly darker, and wish I had had them done a long time ago. It's so much easier than using a pencil and looks more natural.
I am due to go back on the 21st May so now I know what to expect I will have them done a little darker and hide away for 3-4 days until the scabs fall off.
I hope this helps anyone who reads this as it was quite worrying knowing this is permanent, but give it time and everything will be fine in the end.
I will get my husband to take some photos so I can post them on here for everyone to see.
Thanks again for your reply.

No problem jbee,
I'm so glad everything worked out. Sometimes it just takes a little reassurance and some time ;) Let us know how your next appointment goes and yes we would love to see pictures.

Hi J,
Welcome to the Permanent Makeup community. So it's been just short of a week since you posted. How is everything looking today, still very dark? Often times with tattoos it takes about a week for them to lighten because they usually scab over and then the scab falls of and it is much lighter. Has that happened? Please keep us updated and if you are comfortable sharing pictures we would love to see them.
Thanks so much for the review,

text: Hello I am a guitarist / songwriter. As I am moving into a flat, I can no longer use my amps, so I will be venturing in the virtual amp simulation / recording world. I have not bought any amp simulation software yet, but will probably settle on either Guitar Rig, Amlitube or Logic Express. Considering I know nothing about virtual simulation, can anyone point me into the right direction in terms of the pros and cons of the various products? I need realistic amp simulation and a large pool of drum patterns, with the ability to knock out descent recordings. I have already invested in some descent monitor speakers. Also, I have a JamVox which I use for practicing. Can I use the JamVox as an Audio interface? How would it compare to some dedicated interfaces such as the Apogee series or Line 6 UX series?

Melbourne is the king of cultural Australia, the centre of the arts and crafts movement in the country. With unlimited creative spaces and a myriad of avenues for expression, this is a city of museums, galleries and shows. A favoured cultural destination is the Melbourne Museum, enjoyed by over 700 000 visitors per year. Here you can get comprehensive insights into the Aboriginal culture of the state of Victoria, explore a world of emotions and memories in the Mind exhibition and completely immerse yourself in the history of Melbourne. Another museum worth visiting is the Chinese Museum, or if galleries are your thing then have a look at the National Gallery of Victoria. For more contemporary education visit the bohemian-esque suburb of St Kilda, where you can enjoy some live music, street theatre or a show.
Port Arthur
Located on the Tasman Peninsual 80 kilometres south east of the Tasmanian capital Hobart, Port Arthur is a former penal colony that was built entirely with convict labour. In the early nineteenth century it was home to the most hardened of British criminals, and its unsavoury past has become the building block to its tourist development. The impressive architecture and charming gardens of the Port Arthur historic site are a major tourist attraction, and stories of the past seem to seep out of the walls of each unique building. Guided tours can be taken of the site, and a boat goes out regularly to the little island offshore known as 'Isle of the Dead', where hundreds of convicts are buried.
The Hunter Valley
The Hunter valley is one of Australias most established wine producing regions, with over 4500 acres under vine and over 60 wineries and 80 grapegrowers in the region. There is a lot to be learnt in a holiday to a wine producing area- about the economics of the industry, about the growing of grapes and the production of wine, and about your own personal preferences of wine. There is a rich history of culture in the region which is represented by the numerous museums and galleries, which pay homage to the history of the region in terms of both its mining past and its wine growing present.
A vibrant and eclectic port city located just to the south of the Western Australian capital Perth, Fremantle has long been a stronghold for creativity and the arts. Freo is home to an array of heritage buildings and the city is characterised by Georgian and Victorian architecture. It also supports a large student population that attend the local campus, and help fuel the creative flames of Freo. Places worthy of a visit are the WA Maritime Museum located on Victoria Quay, and the Fremantle Prison, once one of the most notorious prisons in the British Empire. Expect plenty of live music on your visit to Freo, as busking is an encouraged art form that is immensely popular here.
Often overlooked as a sleepy oversized country town, Brisbane is actually a world class city with a rich heritage and established cultures. It supports a number of universities, and in the Southbank and Cultural Centre area there are theatres, galleries and museums. The Queensland Museum is especially impressive, as is the Queensland Performing Arts Centre. Fortitude Valley, close to the city centre, is an outlet for very contemporary creativity, so expect a thriving live music scene and a laid back cafe culture.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11)- Brightside has been uniting people in clean and green activities to beautify Louisville and foster community pride for 25 years.
Brightside is unique, because it functions as a public and private partnership, merging the resources of the Metro government with those of private citizens.
All programs are run entirely on privately donated dollars.
In Monday's Project Green, Chief Meteorologist Monty Webb talks about Brightside's biggest fund raiser of the year and how you can get involved.
"We partner with YPAL and the Urban League Young Professionals to create a fabulous fundraiser for Brightside's community beautification programs," said Brightside's Program Director Lisa Gunterman.
The fundraiser is not your ordinary black tie event. It is a Green Tie Bash with green cocktail attire.
This year's Green Tie Bash is special for Brightside, because they are celebrating their 25th anniversary.
They have worked for 25 years to keep Louisville clean, green and beautiful.
The event will feature a special awards ceremony sponsored by Stoll Keenon Ogden and will honor corporations and individuals who have helped sustained Brightside all these years.
Over the past 25 years, Brightside has planted 1.5 million daffodil bulbs, removed 375,000 tons of trash from Louisville's sidewalks, streets and green spaces, planted 5,000 trees, invested $10 million in community-wide beautification projects and has educated 65,000 area-school children.
You cannot drive around Louisville without seeing something touched by Brightside.
The Green Tie Bash is a time for Brightside and their partners to celebrate their community's success.
The purpose of the event is to raise money for Brightside and to develop service projects for young professionals wanting to make our city a beautiful place to live.
The Green Tie Bash is Friday, March 4, and the cost is $45.
This year's event will be emceed by WHAS11's Renee Murphy.

Haslet's second annual National Night Out event Oct. 1 at Haslet Community Park attracted about seven times as many residents and exhibitors as it did last year. For that reason and more, Mayor Bob Golden assesses the community-spirit-building occasion as a massive success.About 400 people, including 37 exhibitors, attended the event. Golden was among those who made it out. "I think this one was a huge success," Golden said. "For a city our size, we had a very good turnout."Exhibits included AT&T's promotion of its no-texting-and-driving campaign. Liberty Mutual had a DWI simulator. Door prizes were offered by local businesses. Churches, law enforcement agencies, emergency responders and other community stakeholders also participated. Do the HustleFolks will be dancing in the streets Oct. 12. A 1-mile and 5K run event called the Haslet Hustle will take place in Haslet starting at 6:30. Runners will be giving glowing necklaces and glow rings. After the Haslet Hustle run, participants and community members are invited to a dance party. The event starts at Haslet Community Park. Race registration costs $35 in advance and $40 the day of the race. Race proceeds will fund a Haslet Parks and Recreation scholarship to be awarded to a Northwest High School senior from Haslet. For more information about the race and post-race dance party, go to www.haslet.org.

Copper Declines as China Manufacturing Gauge Misses Estimates
June 3 (Bloomberg) -- Copper fell as a private gauge of China's manufacturing missed estimates, curbing demand prospects from the world's biggest user of the metal.
The contract for delivery in three months on the London Metal Exchange retreated as much as 0.7 percent to $6,885 a metric ton and was at $6,914.75 by 3:13 p.m. in Hong Kong. The metal rose 1.3 percent yesterday, the most since May 12.
A purchasing managers' index was at 49.4 in May, HSBC Holdings Plc and Markit Economics said in a statement today. That compared with 48.1 the previous month and the median 49.7 forecast in a Bloomberg News survey. The official factory PMI released June 1 rose to 50.8 for May, beating the 50.7 median estimate of economists polled by Bloomberg. Numbers below 50 indicate contraction.
"After the weekend's positive official factory output report, today's HSBC data disappointed investors," said Hwang Il Doo, a senior metals trader at Korea Exchange Bank Futures Co. in Seoul. "There is good selling interest around $6,950."
China's Qingdao port has halted shipments of aluminum and copper on investigations by authorities over discrepancies between metal pledged as collateral and available metal, Reuters reported yesterday.
The development will probably make companies more wary of financing copper, putting downward pressure on prices, said Tetsu Emori, a senior fund manager at Astmax Asset Management Inc. in Tokyo.
In New York, futures for delivery in July slid 0.5 percent to $3.156 a pound. Futures for delivery in August climbed 0.1 percent to close at 48,690 yuan ($7,790) a ton on the Shanghai Futures Exchange. Markets in China were closed yesterday.
On the LME, aluminum and lead advanced, while nickel and zinc were little changed. Tin fell.

Naturally Occurring CBD
When it comes to industrial hemp, America sadly lags the rest of the industrialized world. Other than for a brief period of time during World War II, hemp has not been grown in America since the 1930�s http://www.thehia.org/facts.html .
From hemp, a naturally occurring substance known as cannabinoids can be extracted. In certain cultivars of hemp, a particularly high portion of a special cannabinoid, known as cannabidiol (CBD) can be found (http://www.druglibrary.net/schaffer/hemp/indust/PHARMAfiber.html).
This CBD is now available in select nutritional products that are available to consumers for health and wellness benefits. Cannabidiol, CBD supports the nutritional and dietary health of aging bodies (US Government Patent # 6,630,507).

Cannabinoids are extracts derived from the industrial hemp plant and cannabidiol or CBD as it is known, is the most abundant cannabinoid that is so extracted. The human body will produce its own natural cannabinoids when undertaking extreme exercise.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - Maryland's highest court has overturned the ousting of an Anne Arundel County councilman who was convicted of failing to file a tax return.
The Maryland Court of Appeals issued the 4-3 ruling on Monday in the case of former Councilman Daryl Jones.
The majority of judges found that the Anne Arundel County Council did not have the authority to remove Jones. They ruled Jones did not move his residence when he went to South Carolina to serve five months in a federal prison. Jones was released in December. He appealed a court ruling on the council's action.
The case has been sent back to Anne Arundel County Circuit Court to decide whether he can return to office.
In March of 2012, the council appointed Peter Smith to Jones' seat.

I'm a designer and a huge fan of Game of Thrones. So I thought I would put this together. Aside from the dragon in the eye, the interpretation I Was going for was to see that "window of light" in death.
There are a ton of articles here on the internet that give away secrets to what real hiring managers do when it comes to looking for a new employee to bring onto their team. Except those articles often forget one large aspect that people are often ashamed of admitting, it's actually extremely shady too if you think about it, but in the end there are ways to battle through those tests with your resume.
So, I'm just going to get straight to the point with this one. Most hiring managers want to hire people that already have a job. It's true. If you are one of those people that have been laid off, you're usually the bottom of the list. However, you can combat that "laid off" statement by adding a simple, "ran out of funding" or "Contract ended". Which that will then end up resulting into a call to your references, which if your reference doesn't pick up his or her phone, then you're discarded and the next candidate is pulled up.
This believe it or not happens in a lot of places. Everything from fast-food and retail, all the way to executive financial positions in major corporations.
What happens if you were fired? Well I will put it this way, if you were fired and you let them know you were fired, you definitely won't be getting the job. It's plain and simple.
So Sean, how do you know all of this? Well, after working with hiring managers now for roughly over seven years, I can safely tell you that the process I'm speaking of is standard and routine. That is it, black and white. No gray areas. So even if you are great at what you do, a layoff with no specification as to why the layoff happened, or if you were fired – you definitely won't have the job. Not to mention let your references know that they really need to pick up their phone too. Don't ignore the call.
How to counter this? Specify why you were laid off. Were you fired? It might not be a good idea to bring that up. Although, most of the time if you were fired, whatever happened will usually come up in your next job through your work. That's just the truth. Which in other words means it might be time to take a long good look at yourself in order how to figure out and fix whatever the heck happened.

My Beaker Design has been featured in the weekly Dribbble Replay! WOO! BIGGER THAN ANY VIDEO GAME ACHIEVEMENT. EVER.
Thought I would share a couple images of my recent graphic design work. If you have a dribbble account, I would love to connect with you! :) http://dribbble.com/SeanFathom
My mind has been set on this for a few days now, realizing that there should never really be a "standard" to UX design, since that standard is ever changing. Not only that, but if you aren't ever changing, then the standard actually hurts the Users Experience. This may sound obvious, but really think about it for a second.
The users experience should be unique, captivating, yet simple enough to provide an excellent experience, right? Well the only way to do that is to really dig deep into not only personas, but also your creative understanding. Let's take a web portal SaaS product as an example: Users want to update their information, quickly and concise, but also want to be able to know exactly what was done. With a SaaS, it would be foolish to have a simple, "Thank you! Your information has been updated." Now this of course is obvious. We would want to redirect the user back to their account so they can feel comfortable knowing that they just confirmed their update.
But what if we took that a step further? What if we made their experience seem not only simple and reassuring, but also captivating? I know what you're going to say. You're going to say, "Sean, this is just a SaaS website, how can updating information on their subscription feel captivating?" Let me explain in just a few simple words: connecting emotion and interface.
Sounds a little strange, but probably not. Sure a great looking design is great, but why not connect the users emotion to a form of joy? Okay, here's an idea. SaaS websites have these really simple setups, why not include something like a point system, and every time a user subscribes with their account, points are added, not only that - these points build up, and of course people will always associate receiving points as a form of currency. So every month 15 points are added to their account, and these points are used to purchase something, like one free month subscription, or maybe a small prize of some sort.
This will connect the user, to the SaaS and the overall product. I think facebook and gaming companies are a perfect example of this.In doing this, the user gains a full experience. Anyone can be happy, but it takes a real application to bring joy to a user.
Hey Everyone! It's been a little while since I've been on tumblr, but I wanted to show everyone a little of what I've been working on. I've finally been able to piece together my UI/UX design portfolio. Check it out! Tell me what you think. :)

Let's talk about e-Commerce for a second. Today I am doing some conversion rates for a company and thought I would share this with everyone. This may seem like a no-brainer, but the price of your product ( especially the shipping ) , will heavily impact your sales. If you as the owner of the company decide not to invest in a tool that compares prices of competitors nor allow someone to provide feedback on your products - you will find yourself at a 0.47% conversion rate. Yes, this is absolutely terrible. This means that 0.47, rounding it up to 1 because you can't have half of a person, are purchasing your product. One person out of every one hundred people purchase a product from you. This can display a few things, which means you will have to go through a process to check your strategy.
Realistically, even unrealistically, the main thing that will usually attract clients are the prices. This is huge and these prices must be maintained. Yes, a fantastic web design is needed as well as the user experience. But what happens if both of those are covered? Well, it then comes down to once again, the prices. In order to compete virtually, you must either convince people why they should purchase your product or you must display a great savings for them. Otherwise, they mine as well go to the store and pick it up for much cheaper. This is difficult, I know, but the honest truth is that if you don't do this, you will fail in the virtual world. There is no other way around it. Once everything is said and done, this is what you're left with.
To clarify, this is experience talking. I'm witnessing this exact event as I type this. My solution? I've pretty much offered it. There is a lot of competition out there and you must play the game in order to compete. Sure, creativity will help you win, but creativity is a tool. Not necessarily a goal. The goal is to increase your sales and the only way to do that is look at this from a logical stand point while wielding creativity as your tool.
Wrapping this up, I strongly believe that if you want success in e-commerce, don't ignore the evidence. Be open about your product. The virtual world, at best, can be compared to Alice in Wonderland. Everyone is "mad", but that's what makes it so beautiful. Understand your customers and provide logic in the realms of marketing to win the inbound sale.
