Sorry for a year ago post (more like month ago post tehee). Since I'm bombarded with a lot of school stuffs and this is the only night that I am able to squeeze in my daily dose of bloggery (self version dictio on) cause today's the last day of hell days. I am pretty much fascinated by the outcome of my whimsical 2012 and it had been more magical because of Christmas!! My most awaited twime of the year!!!!
For the last years' gimik we rented some studio lights to give more arte with our photo portraits!
The 'NYE!!' pose pauso of my ate
Last year's celebration was strange for us, because it is the first Christmas without our Lola Nene, but with all of that we always feel her presence surrounding the house :)
Hope you had a wonderful time just like what we had!
Onto the last high school party of my life, sound devastating! Everything was like easy breezy until you get to the point wherein you meet the last things of your high school life. All I can do is to embrace the present and take in all the possibilities that will come my way.
The joy and laughter I had shared among my classmates are some of the priceless moments that I will keep and endlessly cherished even after graduation.

We have less than three months pa, let's make the most of it. Love you forevs kids!

Birthday celebration of my siblings! Everything was just perfect quality time.
Stayed at Holiday Inn
As part of our school org activities two clubs namely BSP/GSP and The Arcade had an educational trip to Laguna last November 29. Actually it was a hiking trip at Mt. Makiling and afterwards we spent the last hours at Enchanted Kingdom. Honestly speaking I did not came to this event because of the EK mode hence because of the hiking. It doesn't show right? Haha. I love outdoor activities and hiking is also part of my bucket list and why not fufill it right. Once we got into the place my expectations have once again failed. Haha. I just don't want to tell you the details because it's just too dissapointing. Anyway let me share you what happened afterwards..

In all kinds of time, family time is the best!
Who would have thought that my very lazy outfit would place me to a page in a magazine? (not actually a page spread lol) Well expect the unexpected. Perhaps the boots saved me. Haha
Spotted myself at the November issue of Candy magazine!!!!! Thank you to the editors of candy that I met few months ago in a very unexpected situation and who made it possible, it is really very flattering. Grab yourself a copy guys! :) Next stop, cover girl. I kid!
Also thanks to The Boy Who Blogs, my good friend Earl Aves for the feature :)
Happy Halloween xx
Great way to start our semestral break beach exploring like what we are always used to. Brought the whole clan to just temporarily leave the buzzing life of the city and enjoy the taste of nature and family bonding.
The clan would not be complete without the mightiest man ever. My lolo Iba :)

text: We've all heard the phrase: "Knowledge is power." (And of course, we associate power with success). Yet, this is 100% false. Knowledge is not power. For the world finds itself overflowed with highly educated people who remain broke. And right now, as you're reading this there's someone sunbathing on his or her own yacht as they thank themselves for dropping out of high school. But real-life examples of successful dropouts aren't what exposes the myth that "knowledge is power." A French dude named Gaspard-Gustave de Coriolis did in 1889 (you'll see how in a second). But first, let's dive into fundamental physics. Physics 101: In physics, a fundamental lesson concerns itself with power. Defined, "power" is the rate at which energy is converted. And the lesson continues on to define two forms of energy: 1. Potential Energy (which is the energy stored in a system — like your mind or body) 2. Kinetic Energy (which is energy driven by action). In physics, potential energy doesn't equate to power; it's merely potential power. The true form of power that everyone seeks is "Kinetic" power. A concept that French physicist Gaspard-Gustave de Coriolis uncovered in 1889. The word "kinetic" stems from the Greek word kinesis, which means motion. "Kinesis" is the same root as in the word cinema (referring to motion pictures). So basically, true power (kinetic energy) is driven by action or application. Thus, Knowledge is really "potential energy" (or "potential power"). Whenever you hear anyone use the phrase in the future, kindly guide them through that physics lesson. If they look at you like you're insane, take it as a compliment (and try not to drool or talk like Charlie Sheen). ironically i found this on a products page for selling things = Product Launch Formula

Paula's little brother, Bubba, owns Uncle Bubba's Oyster House with his big sister. In this video recorded just off the back dock of Paula's house overlooking Turner's Creek, he teaches us all about shrimp sizes. Below is a chart to help you follow along.
All Shrimp are sold by sizes, whether they are sold by the actual count or by a name such as jumbo or extra large. It's good to know what the marketable name is and the count of shrimp per pound the goes with it. Good markets or grocers will label the shrimp both ways to help you determine the size you are buying. For example a Jumbo Shrimp would have 21 to 25 shrimp per pound.

I love Uncle Bubba, such a nice family I could just gobble y'all up!!!
Mari Ann Hutchinson of Vero Beach, Florida on September 08, 2010 04:59 PM
Do you find more flavor in the extra large shrimp rather than the colossal or jumbo prawns?
Fran Kaminski of USA on September 08, 2010 05:45 PM
Great! We just had some shrimp at the Pahrump Winery in Pahrump, and they were HUGE! Now I know they were the Colossal one Bubba showed in video! Tks… M. Chism

President Bush says he feels good about the preparations for Hurricane Gustav.
He says the coordination among states and the federal government has been "a lot better than during Katrina."
But he cautions that "this storm has yet to pass." He says "it's a serious event."
Bush spoke at an emergency operations center in Austin, Texas, where he's getting briefed on the storm. He'll also visit a command center in San Antonio.
Bush says he wants to ensure that assets are in place to handle the storm, and preparations are being made to help the Gulf Coast recover.
The president praised residents who heeded warnings to evacuate. He says he knows it's hard for citizens to "pull up stakes."
The Category-2 hurricane slammed ashore this morning west of New Orleans, in the heart of Louisiana's fishing and oil industry.

"I thought he kicked it, also," Corbin said. "The foul was a little premature. We'd have liked to come down at that point and maybe just make him make a play."
Gordon Hayward carried the Jazz for much of the second half, scoring 11 of his game-high 21 points in the third quarter. The Jazz opened the period on a 13-4 run to tie the game at 62. They scored 37 points in the quarter and took an 86-85 lead into the final 12 minutes.
But once again, as he has been so many times over the past 18 games, Corbin said was left to talk about the lessons learned.
"We have to be able to finish games off," he said. "I think this experience will prove valuable if we learn our lessons from it."
In five of the nine losses, the Jazz have either been tied or led in the fourth quarter. At some point, a treacherous piece of scheduling becomes as much about surviving as it does excelling. Five of the Jazz's next seven games are at home.
If they win all of them, their record will not reflect that of a struggling team, as the mood around the Jazz Saturday night might suggest.
"I felt as though we gave a couple away," guard Randy Foye said. "At 9-9 I wouldn't say that I'm satisfied, but I'm pretty happy."

I say it every holiday season, but it's still true.
Shopping for the beer geeks on your list is so simple — just buy them something rare or seasonal or find out what style of beer they love and create a special mix pack.
How about celebrating Southern craft beer with a collection of winter and holiday brews, such as Abita Christmas Ale, Highland Cold Mountain Winter Ale, Red Brick Old Stock Ale, Sweetwater Festive Ale or Terrapin Wake-n-Bake Stout.
Belgian breweries make some of the world's most interesting and complex holidays beers. A few to look for: Corsendonk Christmas, N'ice Chouffe, Delirium Noel, De Ranke Pere Noel, Dupont Avec Les Bon Vieux, Fantome de Noel, Scaldis Noel and St. Bernardus Christmas.
Beer glasses from a special brewery always make a fun gift. But if you want to splurge, grab a set or two of Spiegelau Beer Classics glassware. They come in lager, tulip, wheat and ale shapes and sizes in packs that retail for around $25-$75.
Compared with a generic shaker pint, you'll be amazed by the quality of the ultra-thin glass and the way it reveals the true color, aroma and flavor of the beer, while helping retain the temperature and carbonation.
Almost as much as drinking beer and arguing about beer, geeks like to read books about beer — and sometimes argue about those, too.
There's no doubt "The Oxford Companion to Beer" edited by Garrett Oliver (Oxford University Press, $65) is at the top of the 2011 list of most important beer books. The 900-page encyclopedia easily delivers on the jacket hype that touts it as "the most comprehensive reference book ever published on the subject." But it's also surprisingly entertaining.
Here are three more beer books to slip under the tree:
"Craft Beer Bar Mitzvah" by Jeremy Cowan with James Sullivan (Malt Shop Publishing, $16.99) is another example of the crazy chutzpah and offbeat branding genius of Cowan, the man behind the Shmaltz Brewing Co. and He'brew, "the Chosen Beer."
"Brewed Awakening: Behind the Beers and Brewers Leading the World's Craft Brewing Revolution" by Joshua M. Bernstein (Sterling Epicure, $24.95) is a good primer for exploring craft brewing and a guide to current hot topics like extreme beers.
"The Great American Ale Trail: the Craft Beer Lover's Guide to the Best Watering Holes in the Nation" by Christian DeBenedetti (Running Press, $20) suffers from the same problem that plagues most guidebooks — they're often outdated on arrival. But this one still has a lot of good info and the section on Georgia is sure to start some fights around here.
If you're looking for stocking stuffers, gift subscriptions to beer magazines, like Beer Connoisseur, and papers, like Southern Brew News, are always a good bet.
And, of course, beer festival tickets, which often sell out far in advance, make a super gift. Here are a few on the horizon:
World Beer Festival, Jan. 28 in Columbia, sponsored by All About Beer magazine, allaboutbeer.com.
Sweetwater's Brew Your Cask Off, March 10 in Atlanta, with guest brewers and Sweetwater beer, brewyourcaskoff.com.
Classic City Brew Fest, April 15 in Athens, with lots of Georgia beers and a new cask ale pavilion with one-off firkins, brewfest.net.
December 8th, 2011
8:30 am
Sure wish there was more wine articles and more often.
December 8th, 2011
9:18 am
The last time I looked there were also tickets available for the Atlanta Cask Ale Tasting on January 28th. This is a great event and would make a great gift. http://www.classiccitybrew.com/
December 8th, 2011
11:31 am
[...] Townsend from the Atlanta Journal Constitution's Drink: A Beer, Wine, and Spirits blog recommends these [...]
December 9th, 2011
8:59 am
Agreed on the Atlanta Cask Ale event. Unlike other beer festivals where it is hot, crowded and too many pedestrian beers, the ACAT is not hot, not as crowded and most beers are one off brews. Owen does a great job with this event, even after the state DOR tried to screw it up.
December 9th, 2011
12:55 pm
I think Sunday Sales was the gift many beer fiends were waiting for this year…
But that Cask Ale event looks like it would be an awesome present!

What Economists Don't Understand About Scots
Everyone from Paul Krugman to Joseph Stiglitz is weighing in on Scotland's risky bet. But they don't get the feeling of yes.
Should Scotland vote to leave the United Kingdom and become an independent nation? Economists think they know the answer. But why should anyone in Scotland listen to them?

A Volunteer in Mission and Haitian recipients work together to assemble solar ovens. Photo courtesy of Rick JostThe World is My Parish
Haitians conserve resources with solar cooking
By Joey Butler
In the impoverished nation of Haiti, people lack for many basic necessities. But a United Methodist missionary is helping the Haitians to harness something they have in abundance: sunlight.
Missionary Rick Jost directs Solar Oven Partners, an outreach of the Dakotas Conference Board of Global Ministries. The group provides inexpensive solar ovens, which tap the energy of the sun to prepare food.
One of the most deforested countries in the world, Haiti's economic woes and massive environmental destruction have led to the pillaging of virtually all its trees. They provide charcoal and cooking fuel. Solar ovens offer an alternative to cooking with charcoal, allowing the few remaining trees on the island to be saved and reforestation to begin.
By using solar ovens, Jost says, Haitians can save up to 30 percent of their food and cooking budget. The ovens can also be used to pasteurize water. Access to safe drinking water is another issue in Haiti.
"Whenever there is sunshine in this land of abundant sun, Haitians can cook their food with no cost for fuel, and without cutting trees, which pollutes the air and water, exposes the land to erosion and has tremendous health and economic fallout," Jost said.
Haitian Project Director Montas Joseph forms dough to bake French bread during the solar cooking seminar at Chomey, Haiti, November 2008. Photo courtesy of Rick JostThe project originated during a 1999 Volunteers in Mission trip to Haiti to build schools. Jost's team took along a few solar ovens as an experiment, and the concept was well received. Jost then presented the idea to the Dakotas Conference.
In 2000, the General Board of Global Ministries began its 10-10-10 missionary program, and Jost was invited to develop the solar oven project.
The nine-year-old project is now a project of The Advance, a designated giving program of global ministries, as well as a Dakotas Conference Advance ministry. In more than 30 trips, 2,400 ovens have been distributed. "We could provide many more ovens if we had the resources," Jost adds.
Jost acknowledges, "The support is outstanding. People experience the mission and bring that message home to their conferences, so we've had widespread support across the connection."
Each solar oven costs about $100 to produce. Through Solar Oven Partners, Haitians can buy one for $5 by attending a three-day course led by Montas and Raymonde Joseph, a Haitian husband-and-wife team employed by the organization.
"The solar oven is a miracle for Haiti," Montas Joseph said.

Actors Playhouse Rips Into Auditorium For Murder Ballad
Some patrons might be a tad uncomfortable at Murder Ballad at Actors Playhouse. After all, a lovesick swain likely will pour his heart out while standing on a chair a few inches away from an audience member's face. A ticket buyer may find herself within spitting distance of a sweaty couple trying to kill each other.
Actors' Playhouse Mid-Life 2: The Crisis Continues — Second Verse Same As The First
These fluffy summer fripperies at Actors' Playhouse must be successful because here's a sequel Mid-Life 2: the Crisis Continues, the off-spring of 2008's Mid-Life! The Crisis Musical. Once again, the same folks have achieved precisely what they sought: a fun, light-hearted divertissement, but the varied quality of the material is not worthy of the skill, talent, polish and unflagging commitment of the cast and crew.
So Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Zelda, Picasso, Tallulah And Gertrude Stein Walk Into A Bar….
Scott and Hem, an imagined reunion of Fitzgerald and Hemingway, is half comprised of deadly accurate insights into the angst of creative souls; the other half is just deadly dumps of name-dropping and exposition. A talented cast and director struggle to make the play at Actors Playhouse land solidly, and sometimes they succeed, but not always.
Spamalot Is Supremely Silly And Delightfully Demented Fun
A delightfully demented cast enhanced by the inventive imagination of chief jester/director David Arisco and choreographer Ron Hutchins make Actors' Playhouse's Spamalot a satisfying pleasure even on its fourth or fifth visit.
End Of The Rainbow Focuses On Judy Garland's Disintegration
End Of The Rainbow is not a Judy Garland tribute concert – it's a dramatic play with music about her death spiral entering its final turn. Actors Playhouse's production is shot through with witty gallows humor and compassion for a wounded soul.
15 Years, 4 Productions And 400-Plus Performances Later, Wayne LeGette Returns to Role
Sometime after more than 400 performances, Wayne LeGette lost track of how often he had appeared in the enduring musical about relationships I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change. Whatever the figure was, the odometer is about to roll over this month.
Home For The Holidays: Comedy In Making God Laugh Morphs Into Poignancy At Playhouse
Put Actors' Playhouse production of Making God Laugh pretty much in the insightful column. Playwright Sean Grennan uses our recognition of the laughter and pain common to most familial relationships and uses it as a building block in his farcical comedy that transmutes into poignant drama.
Showbiz Lampoon Ruthless Is A Bit Long, But Wickedly Funny
Everything about Ruthless! The Musical at Actors Playhouse from dripping furs to the Ethel Merman voices, everything is over the top. Way over the top. Thank goodness. Well, actually, don't thank goodness. Ruthless is a gleefully uninhibited celebration of greed, venality, ambition and ego. In other words, show business.
Actors Playhouse Rated P For Parenthood Is Frothy Fun
Rated P For Parenthood at Actors Playhouse is a 90-minute hoot that bowed off-Broadway last year strings together almost 30 vignettes that chronologically trace the joys and absurdities of raising a child from conception to empty nesting.
Actors' Playhouse Outwits Dimwitted Fox on the Fairway
The Fox on the Fairway, plays more like a 1970s sitcom. When any one of the comedy's exaggerated characters comes bursting through the door (and this happens more than a few times), you expect a canned laugh track to surface.The Fox on the Fairway won't take the World Cup when it comes to comedy, but it's a fun romp and summer fare that only requires the audience to be swept away in its lunacy.

Things have been going better and I cannot wait for this year to start. I also have to get my wisdom teeth pulled in 2 weeks. I have 4 wisdom teeth and two supernumerary teeth. I will try to post a picture of all this when it happens. I may be moving my blog over permanently to my Wordpress Blog.

Some good ideas on this DVD 4 stars because I find the routine a bit short and it could be played a lot more funny or longer. This is just performance style of course however this could have included a bit more. Overall it is a good escape that packs very small and could play big with some imagination.
Great training but need a different rope Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 4th, 2014
The video here trains you perfectly for this effect. It takes a few minutes to get the knack of it, but you really can have anyone tie you up and you'll be in and out of it in seconds. There is a rope included, but I quickly ditched it in favor of regular rope as I had people thinking it was gimmicked because of how it felt. It seems more like a boat rope than regular rope, so it almost comes undone on its own after it's tied. Of course, the volunteer can see that as well so the challenge isn't there. Using regular rope can be a little tricky if you don't manage your volunteers right, but it ultimately pays off better. Tony's routine is very short, but if you add to it you'll have a great effect that can play for just about any size audience.

We can only hope that they finally get tired and do as they said they would do in May of last year;) Praying very hard for that:)
Hugs and have a wonderful week
And how is you this fine Sunday?
With Jason nuking Paris (still in France), Matt blasting his crotch - both with the Big Red Buttons - and Gort nearly destroying the world of Zoomers as we know it, this coming week can only be more scary for those nice Canadians who blog here.
Oh yes, and The Cat Group don't take prisoners either....
i am so so sorry about your gender identity issues, kenny.

i think i will read your blog.
soon.argh, this place= a new place, & i hate change.
I have three blogs up. So if you keep scrolling down the page on zoomers you will go throught the comments section, then you see the pictures, and right in underneath there is the section entitled blogs so you just click on the title of the blog and then you can see it. I will post the first one on FB so you can find it easy. Then you will get the hang of it easy. I thought if I put the comments here others having problems could just look in your comment line. I have a theory about new sites... LOL When in doubt click everything. :-)
You have not found the place where you blog. Click on "Blogs." Then look right below it and you will see a button that says, "+Add." Click the button and the blog page opens up. I just explained this to someone else. I think there needs to be a help section here. I wonder if there is one? I have wrote a 25 page blog here. I hope to see your posts here too soon. I like it over here.

By Alicia Lutes, Hollywood.com Staff
Yeah, well stick that into your pipe and smoke it, Abu Nazir! Carrie Matheson and her merry band of CIA agents are kicking ass and taking names: ratings-wise. The Showtime series has continued to grow in popularity following its string of Emmy wins this year, and Sunday night's new episode (the incredible, divisive, and best-so-far of the season, Q&A) was no exception. In fact, the show hit a series high with its Sunday episode, on top of delivering a first-time honor to the network.
The episode, which revolved around (SPOILER ALERT, duh) Sgt. Brody's maybe-sorta-gosh-I-hope-so crossover to the side of the good guys (but did he really? Gah!), drew 2.07 million viewers during its 10PM premiere on Sunday. That's a 19 percent jump from the previous weekdelivering the highest viewership to date for the sophomore series.
And that's not all, Showtime brethren Dexter, now in its seventh season, increased its numbers 5 percent from last weeknabbing 2.28 million total viewers. For those keeping score at home, that means Sunday marked the first time in Showtime's history that two back-to-back episodes of original series drew more than 2 million viewers each in a single night. No doubt Carrie would be thrilled to know that so many people know she's right.

How to build an effective Physician Referral Program - Stimulating doctor to doctor referrals
In the past 10 years, Healthcare Marketing Center of Excellence consulted and set up more than one thousand referral programs for doctors in the U.S.. Here are the top 5 aspects a doctor-to-doctor referral marketing program needs before launching:
Research local doctors and related allied health care professionals before sending out physician referral letters, representatives, or making calls
- this is critical because not every doctor is a good target for referrals. While you may feel inclined to refer patients to the physician, he may not feel the same. Many doctors don't refer patients back to you. They may treat patients themselves, even though it may not be in their area of expertise. One of the most effective ways to do so is to check out their website... find out whether referring patients to a doctor would be a bad idea.
Awareness of local societies, meetups, and professional organizations outside of the medical field
- many professionals' businesses depends on relations with doctors. Attorneys are one of the biggest missed opportunities. And so are affiliations with corporations. Putting together a wellness program as it relates to your expertise to try to limit the amount of missed days of work can save a company millions of dollars and they're willing to pay a big premium for it.
Awareness of local medical conferences and events
- doctors are most receptive to discussions about patient referrals when they're away from their office. There are most likely hundreds of events sponsored by medical societies, organizations, and hospitals within a short driving distance of your office where you may meet like-minded doctors. Spending an evening or half a day on meeting them can lead to a significant pay-off.
Having appropriate referral slips and materials for every source of referrals
. Do you have the same brochure or referral slip for everyone? Why not spend an extra 30 minutes on creating materials specific to that source of referrals? Do you have the information on your website?
1st Impressions are the most important!
What message you include in your email, letter, postcard, greeting, phone call, or first meeting really counts. You have one chance to get a doctor's and their practice managers' attention. Find out what make the biggest impact.

Kanye Brings Drake Out In Toronto To Perform "Forever" and "All Me" (Video)
On Sunday night Drake and Kanye partied at the Hoxton in Toronto for Ye's 'Yeezus Tour' after party. It was amazing to see Kanye rap the words to Drake's "Headlines" and "Worst Behaviour". As if that wasn't epic enough, tonight on the last stop of the 'Yeezus Tour' Kanye brought Drake out to perform both "All Me" and "Forever".
If that's still not enough, Kanye also believes that "Hold On, We're Going Home" is song of the year and ranted about it at the show last night. This serves as no shocker as Kanye previously stated he wishes he had made the song himself.Read more here: http://wordonroad.net/news/kanye-brings-drake-toronto-perform-forever-video/

LA CROSSE, Wisconsin (WXOW) - People who work for the state and smoke might have to pay an additional $50 a month for health insurance.
It's a part of Gov. Scott Walker's budget proposal.
His office reports health care costs for "people who use tobacco are estimated to be 30 to 35 percent higher than non-smokers."
"I would say the majority of employers have taken deliberate action to implement wellness programming at their work site. Or, they're working with their health plan to incorporate different kinds of incentives benefit into their health insurance product," said Sarah Havens, director of Gundersen Lutheran's Department of Community and Preventative Care Services.
Walker is treating the state like an employer, Havens said.
But the plan concerns some anti-smoking advocates.
Health First Wisconsin said they haven't seen evidence that a $50 dollar surcharge reduces tobacco use.
Paula Silha, health educator at the La Crosse County Health Department, wonders if the state will provide tobacco prevention and cessation programs, or fund medication to help smokers quit.
"For some people it may be the thing that tips the domino over for them and other people may dig their heels in even more because if they haven't quit already, they certainly need the support," Silha said."
The Wisconsin Department of Administration said this proposal could affect about 10 percent of state employees. But it's just a proposal. Details will be determined before it's reviewed by the Group Insurance Board.
The DOA said a smoking surcharge is not common. Records from 2010 show nine state charge higher premiums for smokers.

The Proposition0 Reviews
Kyo and Shinya meet up with Die and offer a proposition of assistance.
As they traveled onward they began to notice things out of the corner of their eye, but when they looked in that direction, everything seemed normal. The nights sway was slipping as Kyo and Shinya continued on horseback to their journey for shelter. Every now and then he caught glimpse of the trees around them moving. Shinya discarded this as the wind moving them.
"We're almost there" said Kyo.
"Where are we going?" asked Shinya.
"You'll find out when we get there" replied Kyo.
With that they met a forked road, at which Kyo took the northeast road. Shinya could see lights ahead of them and knew that was where they were going. The little village's name was Tsumi, which Shinya thought was strange for a town to be named for crime and indiscretion. The village was blocked off at all sides except for a small sectioned gate which was probably guarded on the other side.
Kyo continued forth and got off his horse and knocked lightly on the gate four times at which a little slot on the gate slid open and a man's eyes appeared to be viewing them.
"What's your business in Tsumi?" asked the man.
Kyo's reply "we have a meeting with someone."
"Who is this someone?" asked the man.
"His name is Daisuke Andou"
The man closed the gate slit and everything went silent. After about thirty seconds the gate opened. Kyo got back on his horse and they entered through it. Shinya followed Kyo quietly as he led them to the bordello of houses. Kyo got off his horse and tied it off to a post, Shinya did the same. Kyo walked up to the door and knocked three times, Shinya had stopped a few steps before the door to admire the size of the house and all the adornments. The door cracked open and a man shown through the crack.
"What business do you have at this house?" asked the man.
"I've come to see Daisuke" replied Kyo
The man closed the door and returned shortly after.
"Die isn't expecting anyone at this hour so leave" said the man.
He went to shut the door but Kyo grabbed and held it open and said to the man "He is expecting me so I advise you to tell him Kyo is here."
The door man studied him for a few moments before asking "who's the other?"
"He's Shinya Terachi, he's not to be worried about" replied Kyo.
The door closed again and a few moments later you could hear bolts and chains being pulled loose and unlocked. The door opened and Kyo motioned for Shinya to follow behind. Kyo continued walking behind the door man to the destination in which Shinya didn't know. While on the way to their destination he took in all of his surroundings. He noticed halls upon halls all of which had black walls and checkered floors. The rooms themselves gave off a blatant black and white vibe of mono-toned emotion.
The door man stopped at a white door, which stuck out due to the black walls and doors everywhere. The door man opened the door and Kyo walked in, Shinya followed. There was a man sitting in a chair behind a desk but was turned to the fireplace behind it. The doorman went out the door and shut it behind him. Kyo and Shinya got up to the desk and Kyo said "your doormen get more and more disrespectful with the ages Die."
"Disrespectful Kyo or very suspicious of all my visitors, they do their jobs as they are paid to do" said Die. "Kaoru does his job well and is well compensated for his work" continued Die, "After all that happened before I thought you'd expect such things of me."
"That may be, but down to business friend" said Kyo.
"It's always about business with you, isn't it?" asked Die.
"It usually is" said Kyo.
Shinya continued to watch the two talk with content.
"What is it you want Kyo?" asked Die.
"I need your help with a Tengu" said Kyo.
Die turned the chair around to face the two at which revealed a much built man with fire red eyes, pale complexion, and clothes fashioned in the olden days of America.
"They are extinct Kyo, so you wouldn't need my help in this matter" said Die.
Kyo replied "there is... one... and this one is more than a rumor and powerful enough to worry about."
Shinya became a little worried at the words Tengu and that it was more than rumor and powerful. He didn't believe that demons were real and that they could physically be real non-the-less.
"If this is so then I will accompany you and your friend to defeat this foe, it's been ever so long since I fought the fight worth the draw of my weapon" said Die.
"That's fine, but be ready by tomorrow night to journey because I and my companion Shinya need rest" replied Kyo.
"Still hiding from the day Kyo" said Die with a taunting laugh.
"Of all people you should know my nature" said Kyo.
"Yes, yes I know, so it's settled, we leave tomorrow at sun set" said Die.
Kyo nodded in accordance and walked towards the door at which Kaoru opened and ushered them out and to their rooms for the day. Kyo was the first to get to a room, he went in the room and before Shinya could continue following Kaoru, Kyo pulled Shinya to the side and told him "you don't have to worry about the Tengu, it's not your problem"
"I still wish to help in any way I possibly can" said Shinya.
"That will be very brave of you Shinya, and remember this isn't some little Oni, this Tengu can change forms to sway you from your goal of defeating it" said Kyo.
"I understand" said Shinya.
Shinya left the room and continued to follow Kaoru to his room. They got to a door at the end of the hall and the Kaoru opened it. Shinya stepped inside it and the door man closed the door. Shinya looked around at the room taking in all the dark shaded furniture and walls. He went over to the bed and studied it a few minutes before considering changing to lay on it. He changed out of all the heavy clothing he wore on the journey and climbed into bed and immediately dozed off not even taking into notice that it was day time as opposed to night.

This sermon was preached by Jason Shodd on Sunday, March 11 2012 at 11:00AM. To download the sermon, CLICK HERE, or just listen from the webpage. If you would like a CD made of these sermons, let us know and we would be happy to oblige.
A. Illustration:
In the 1976 Summer Olympics, Shun Fujimoto competed in the team gymnastics competition for Japan. In a quest for the gold medal, Fujimoto suffered a broken right knee in the floor exercise. But this injury did not stop him, for during the next week he competed in his strongest event, the rings. His routine was excellent, but he astounded everyone by squarely dismounting with a triple somersault twist on a broken right knee. When asked concerning his feat, he said, "Yes, the pain shot through me like a knife. It brought tears to my eyes. But now Ihave the gold medal and the pain is gone."
1. Here we have one who was truly committed to his sport and his country.
2. So committed was this man that he would let nothing stop him short of his goal.
3. We need this same type of commitment today in the Lord's church!
4. Paul tells us that we need to be "fervent in spirit; serving the Lord" (Roman 12:9-11 9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. 10 Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another; 11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer;).
B. Illustration:
A hen and a pig came upon a church building and read the advertised sermon on the billboard out front, which read, "What can we do to help the poor?" Immediately the hen suggested they feed them bacon and eggs. The pig thought for a moment and said, "There is one thing wrong with feeding bacon and eggs to the poor. For you it only requires a contribution, but for me it requires total commitment!"
1. Many today are not willing to be totally committed to the Lord because it demands too much of them.
2. Oh, we need to remember (Romans 8:18 18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.)
3. Total commitment is worth every effort.
C. What is commitment?
1. A definition: a pledge to fulfill, an obligation, to obligate ourselves to a cause.
2. Synonyms: responsibility, pledge, promise, vow, resolution, determination.
A. (Matthew 19:16-22 Slide) Rich young ruler
a. This young man was not totally committed financially – he cared more for his money than he did the Lord.
b. Totally committed means totally committed
B. (Matthew 10:34-39 34 "Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. 35 For I have come to 'set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law'; 36 and 'a man's enemies will be those of his own household.'37 He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. 38 And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. 39 He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.)
a. We are to be totally committed – to put God above ALL people or things.
b. We are even to put God above our family.
A. (Deuteronomy 24:16 16 "Fathers shall not be put to death for theirchildren, nor shall children be put to death for their fathers; a person shall be put to death for his own sin.)
a. Parents can't blame it on the children.
b. Children can't blame it on the parents.
B. (Job 19:4 4 And if indeed I have erred, My error remains with me.)
a. Job knew he couldn't blame his sin on anyone else.
b. He was responsible.
C. (Proverbs 9:12 12 If you are wise, you are wise for yourself, and if you scoff, you will bear it alone.")
D. (Jeremiah 31:30 30 But every one shall die for his own iniquity; every man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge.)
E. (Ezekiel 18:20 20 The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.)
A. Personal incompetence.
a. This is what Moses did.
1. "Who am I? … What shall I say unto them? … I am not eloquent," slide only don't need to read: (Exodus 3:11 11 But Moses said to God, "Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?", 13 13 Then Moses said to God, "Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they say to me, 'What isHis name?' what shall I say to them?", 4:10 10 Then Moses said to the Lord, "O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before nor since You have spoken to Your servant; but I am slow of speech and slow of tongue.")
2. Do we use these excuses…
b. This is what Jeremiah did.
1. (Jeremiah 1:6-7 Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth." 7 But the Lord said to me: "Do not say, 'I am a youth,' For you shall go to all to whom I send you, and whatever I command you, you shall speak.)
2. Are we using these old worn out excuses?
c. Some say it is too difficult for me.
a. (Proverbs 22:13 The lazy man says, "There is a lion outside! I shall be slain in the streets!")
b. Nothing of lasting value ever comes easy.
A. Committed to God.
a. (Matthew 22:37-38 37 Jesus said to him, "'you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'38 This is the first and great commandment.) … We are to love God with every ounce of our being.
b. (John 14:15 15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments.)
c. (Matthew 6:33 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.)
B. Committed to Truth.
a. (Jeremiah 6:16-17 "Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it;)
b. (Jude 3 3 Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.)
C. Committed to Each Other.
a. (Matthew 7:12 12 Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.)
1. Do we treat our brethren as we would want to be treated spiritually?
2. Do we treat our brethren as we would want to be treated physically?
b. (Matthew 22:39 39 And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.')
D. Committed to Our Family
a. (Ephesians 5:22-23, 25 22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her,.)
b. (Ephesians 6:4 4 And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.)
E. Committed to Purity and Modesty.
a. (Philippians 4:8 8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things arepure, whatever things arelovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.)
F. Committed to Souls.
a. (Matthew 28:19-20 19 Go thereforeand make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.)
b. (Proverbs 11:30 30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is wise.)
A. Do we have total commitment to the Lord and His requirements for us, or are we just trying to get by?
B. God does not want our second best; He has never accepted anyone's second best.

Saving Earth so we save ourselves. That's one step forward on the yellow brick road to awareness. Better than saying we're saving the planet for "nature"'s well-being. Like George Carlin said, the Earth has been around for Millions of years (yeah, fuck you bible), it has gone through earthquakes, meteor blasts, volcanic erruption, plate techtonic shifts, and far worse events. And we think a couple of plastic bags are going to harm this beautiful green and blue ball called Earth?
Oh and what the fuck do you care what it'll be apart of, you'll be fucking dead! As long as your body isnt used as some marrionette, or in some way that will leave a bad last memory.

So imagine your 11-year-old daughter has stomach pains. You and your boyfriend decide to take her to the hospital. After some tests, the cause of the stomach pain is revealed: Your 11-year-old daughter doesn't have the flu nor food poisoning. Nope. She's pregnant. So, just as you're trying to adjust to this astounding news, your 42-year-old boyfriend asks for the keys to the car so he can run an errand. And he never returns. This story gets much, much, much worse before it's over.
When it turns out your 11-year-old daughter is pregnant and your middle-aged boyfriend suddenly disappears, it doesn't take a genius to put two and two together. But then the boyfriend saves you the trouble by calling you and apologizing for knocking up your 11-year-old kid.
And it gets worse. The man, Gregory Johns, then robs a couple at knife-point. There, he reportedly leaves a note also apologizing to the 11-year-old girl for sexually assaulting her.
And it gets worse. Then the guy breaks into the home of an elderly woman, and allegedly gags her and ties her up for 12 hours. He also calls his girlfriend and tells her that the cops will have to kill him before he goes back to jail. Oh yes, did I mention? He'd been in jail 10 times already -- on charges ranging from aggravated assault to armed robbery.
Eventually, the dude holes up in a hotel in Florida, where the cops find him. He reportedly comes out of the bathroom with a knife in hand, threatens the police, and they fatally shoot him.
While we're all pondering why this mother let her 11-year-old girl around her criminal boyfriend (because this is no doubt what everyone will focus on), let's consider some other facts: We now reportedly have an 11-year-old girl impregnated by her mother's dead middle-aged boyfriend. Who is going to say this is a blessing?
I hope the mother does what is right for this little girl for a change and that does not include forcing her to have her dead criminal boyfriend's baby.
What would you do as a mother in this situation?
Image via Treasure Island Sheriff's Dept.
Well obviously she is not gonna get the mother of the year award. And yeah cant say that im even i lil sad that he was BRUTALLY shot to death. And yes someone needs to beat that mothers ass for letting her crimanal boyfriend around her ELEVEN year old daughter. STUPID BITCH!!!!!
and im sorry workingmamma i cant believe you would let ur daughter go through with the pregnancy and let alone have the baby and keep it. What the hell is wrong with you OMgoodness. another women that should not win the mother of the year award!!!!!
Just another "she's got to have it" ghetto azz mother exposing her child to a criminal. She's probably 4'5", 200lbs.

Rio de Janeiro Metrô Strip Map
Submitted by David Daglish, who says:
Rio De Janeiro's metro system has only two lines, both cover the same stations through the business district to the tourist areas of the Zona Sul. The transit map also shows "metro bus" connections that don't quite make geographic sense.
Transit Maps says: a "straightened" linear version of the full map (reviewed here, 2 stars), which enhances the legibility considerably. Strangely, this version also has information about weekend services that the full map completely lacks. However, the directional arrows between each and every station has to be one of the most ridiculously redundant pieces of design I've ever seen.
Official Map: Metrô Rio, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Here's a map that's going to be seen a lot by tourists over the next few years as Rio de Janeiro hosts both the FIFA World Cup and the Olympic Games. Will it stand up to such international scrutiny and join other transit maps as a definitive icon of its city?
Probably not.
Have we been there? No.
What we like: Suitably bright and exotic Brazilian colour scheme. Relatively clean and simple design.
What we don't like: Poorly drawn route lines with some very uneven curves, which clash stylistically with the very straight "Subway Bus" route lines. Heavy-handed elements throughout the map, including very large and bold text for station names and enormous bicycle parking icons. Inconsistent placement of connection information: why is the "Cosme Velho" label placed below the station it connects to, when nearby stations have the label placed neatly to the side? Some absolutely hideous distorted text in the legend below the map.
Our rating: Not great. 2 stars.

From the Publisher A Shelf Awareness Best Book of the Year From the beloved and best-selling author of Plainsong and Eventide comes a story of life and death, and the ties that bind, once again set out on the High Plains in Holt, Colorado. When Dad Lewis is diagnosed with terminal cancer, he and his wife, Mary, must work together to make his final days as comfortable as possible. Their daughter, Lorraine, hastens back from Denver to help look after him; her devotion softens the bitter absence of their estranged son, Frank, but this cannot be willed away and remains a palpable presence for all three of them. Next door, a young girl named Alice moves in with her grandmother and contends with the painful memories that Dad''s condition stirs up of her own mother''s death. Meanwhile, the town's newly arrived preacher attempts to mend his strained relationships with his wife and teenaged son, a task that proves all the more challenging when he faces the disdain of his congregation after offering more than they are accustomed to getting on a Sunday morning. And throughout, an elderly widow and her middle-aged daughter do everything they can to ease the pain of their friends and neighbors. Despite the travails that each of these families faces, together they form bonds strong enough to carry them through the most difficult of times. Bracing, sad and deeply illuminating, Benediction captures the fullness of life by representing every stage of it, including its extinction, as well as the hopes and dreams that sustain us along the way. Here Kent Haruf gives us his most indelible portrait yet of this small town and reveals, with grace and insight, the compassion, the suffering and, above all, the humanity of its inhabitants.

Safety and Security of a WordPress Blog an Infographic
source: wptemplate
WordPress is one of the most popular content management system (CMS) in use and around 17% of the websites that are present on the internet these days are powered by this CMS. With the growing use of WordPress its security and safety has also become one of the major issues to deal with. In the year 2011 more than 144,000 word press sites were hacked and this number reached to 170,000 in the year 2012.
The website owners and the core developers of WordPress are responsible for the security of the system. In order to keep their security tight, the WordPress site owners should keep various points into consideration like updating the WordPress to the latest version that is released, keeping back of data, do not display the version of WordPress on blog, reporting bugs to WordPress security, not installing the free themes, using strong passwords for all the entry points, using only trusted plug-in and others.

Thanks to a rule change at the 2014 LHSAA Convention, C. E. Byrd could be heading back to the non-select bracket of the high school football playoffs. Byrd was one of only two public school to be classified as "select" last season because more than 25% of their football roster came from outside of their school's attendance zone. With the new rule, that 25% is now expanded to the school's Parish, making Byrd eligible to return to the public school bracket.
Despite the news, Head Coach Mike Suggs says it will not change his opinion on the heavily debated playoff split, which was voted to continue for the 2014 season in every classification last week. Byrd Principal Jared Badgley shared the same opinion saying he's not sure if the split is what's best for the schools or players.
Byrd's alleged move to the non-select bracket also eliminates a chance of a playoff rematch with Archbishop Rummel, the team that defeated Byrd in the Division I state championship game in December. It also raises concern about the Division I bracket itself, that only had 10 teams last season.

Q. "What if you go to dinner with somebody who does that thing where they want everybody to stack their phones in the middle of the table and you're like NO; is there a good way to do that?"
A. "[Horrified GIF] Oh my god. Stop going to dinner with that person? That's my main answer. Stop going to dinner with that person until he or she has learned the error of his/her HEINOUS ways. I'm bossy (not like this, like this.) and I would never DREAM of telling my friends to hand over their phones, or any other personal belongings for that matter. That's parenting. Are you talking about going out to eat with your parents? Even still. Stop going to dinner with them.
The other thing you need to do is work on being assertive, because people don't often test assertive people with bizarre/dictatorial regulations like this. This is shit, and don't take shit from anyone! If someone asks you to hand over your phone, you say, "Are you serious?" and give a look like this, and then say, "I'm not doing that." And then put your phone away, and don't take it out again during dinner. Both of you! Shape up!"
- Still experiencing aftershocks associated with the practice described in this question. WTF?? This must be a coastal thing. The rest of my FWD column is here.

10 most expensive homes of 2012
By Colleen Kane of CNBC
These were the most expensive homes on the market in 2012, according to Trulia.com. They're not necessarily massive; some are spacious New York penthouses without enough square footage to qualify as a mansion. Most are still on the market.
We'll start with the No. 10 home, a penthouse priced at $60 million, and work up to the most expensive home of the year. One home has a swimming pool lined in 24-karat gold. Another is on 90 acres of untouched California land. One was designed by an award-winning architect; another employed master craftsmen to install custom features.

5. Old-growth acreage
Price: $85 million
Location: Woodside, Calif.
Bedrooms: 9
Bathrooms: 8 full, 1 partial
Size: 9,000 square feet
The hefty price tag on this estate, which has never before hit the market, may be less attributable to the 1940s house itself and more owing to the three parcels of land that total 91 acres of beautiful property. With old-growth oaks and open meadows bordering Huddart Park, the painting-like grounds also include a gate house, a caretaker's cottage and a school.

2. Ocean Drive mansion
Price: $100 million
Location: Miami Beach, Fla.
Bedrooms: 10

1. Fleur de Lys
Price: $125 million
Location: Los Angeles
Bedrooms: 12
Bathrooms: 15
Size: 35,046 square feet
Coming in at No. 1 is the mansion called Fleur de Lys in the Holmby Hills section of Bel-Air. The enormous home built by David Saperstein — now belonging to his ex-wife, Suzanne — has been on and off the market since 2007. The pair divorced soon after the mansion was completed, so this estate has hardly even been lived in. Listed among the estate's interested potential buyers was Petra Ecclestone, but it was off the market until the day she bought the Spelling Manor in the same neighborhood, after which Fleur de Lys relisted.
The house takes normal mansion amenities and supersizes them, so the garage houses nine cars and the screening room seats 50.
