At eighteen years of age, I was finishing my senior year at high school, while looking ahead to the future. I still had not decided on which college to attend, and I felt disheveled due to the numerous decisions I had to make. What school should I go to? What should my major be? In addition to these questions, I had a nagging ache inside of me. Raised Greek Orthodox, I was familiar with Christ and the Scriptures – at least I thought I knew God. There was developing within me a hunger to find out if there might be something more to my faith. I turned to the church for answers and began to check out books on spirituality from my parish's library. These books only confused me. They were ridden with lessons that encouraged extreme self discipline and the practice of good works to gain God's approval.
I attended church faithfully, and viewed the Lord as a powerful Judge, who I could never please. One of the colleges that interested me was Wheaton College, and I decided to attend a three-day "Get Acquainted Weekend" to learn more about the school. I stayed in a dorm along with two students and attended classes to learn about the school. One of the events on the agenda for me was to attend a free concert. The performer was Leon Patillo, who was a former singer with the band Santana. Being rather musical myself (I play the guitar and sing), I was interested to experience this.
The concert was nothing like what I expected. My understanding of Christian music was limited to ancient Byzantine chanting and Christmas Carols. Leon's concert was contemporary, professionally done, as well as profoundly inspirational. He took time to share his story of how he embraced Christianity. He spoke of Jesus so freely. It was as if Christ was His closest Friend. He shared the simple truth of the gospel. I learned in my heart that knowing God was not a matter of what I do, but of what Jesus had already done for me.
Jesus' death on the cross paid the price for my sins to be forgiven and for me to receive the free gift of salvation. When I was younger, I attended a summer camp that was also put on by Wheaton College. A counselor shared the gospel message to me then, but I was not ready to make a commitment to Christ. I was afraid. As Leon Patillo shared, I remembered that day at summer camp. I became gripped with the reality of my own sin and my need to accept the Lord's forgiveness. I realized that my experience with Christianity had been rooted in ritual, but God desired for me to have a relationship with Him.
At the end of the concert, an invitation was given to come forward and accept Christ's free gift. I was hesitant, but a man asked me if I wanted to go forward. I slowly made my way towards the foot of the stage. Then I prayed along with others to receive Christ into my life and heart.
I began to see changes in my life. I found my fears being replaced by God's love, my confusion with confidence, and my sense of distance from God with a rich intimacy with my Heavenly Father.
If you haven't embraced Christ in this way, know that you can – even today. The Scripture says,"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. " (Ephesians 2:8-9) I learned that night at a concert that all my striving was futile. All Jesus wanted me to do was to surrender and receive His free gift of salvation. Why don't you do the same, if you haven't already. Just pray a prayer like the one below.
Dear God,
I realize my need for you. I am a sinner and You are holy. Thank you Lord for sending Jesus to die for me to pay for my sins and forgive me. Jesus, I ask you to forgive me of the things I've done that have hurt you. I accept your sacrifice on the cross as payment for my own sin. I receive your free gift of salvation. Help me to know You as You really are. I choose to follow You. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen.
If you have prayed this prayer for the first time or if you have rededicated your life to Christ, let me say congratulations! The Lord is singing over you with joy and the angels are rejoicing. I encourage you to tell somebody of your decision. You may email me at email@example.com, I would love to support you in your new walk with Jesus.
It's important that you begin reading the Bible - it is like food for your spiritual life. Read a little each day. I encourage you to start with the book of John, which is found in the New Testament.
Also, take time to pray each day. Give God thanks, tell Him Your frustrations, and surrender to Him your worries. Then be sure to pray for others. Also, begin to tell others about Christ – you will find great joy in doing this.
Finally, attend church regularly. Go to a place where the Bible is preached without apology in a way that you can understand it. Look for a place where the people truly love God and each other, but remember there is no perfect church.
Your journey with Jesus has just begun. Know that one day you will see Him face to face. Until then, let's follow after the One, who loved us first.

Sarah Palin is going to resign as Governor of Alaska. http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2009/07/reports-sarah-palin-wont-seek... I guess the Libs have won after all. Now she will be out of politics, it seems, and the democrats have nothing more to fear from her------------or have they(heh,heh,heh,heh!)?
Sarah Palin to Resign as Alaskas' Governor
heard all week, now maybe her children will be able to get some attention.
Wow, this is so sexist, and a conservative white male is pointing this out.
Women can't have full time jobs AND be mothers? Way to take us back 50 years.
They're going to say:
Pa-Pa-----where's our Ma?
Gone to the White House--Ha-Ha-Ha!
I'm sure she won't be out of politics, and this is likely a set-up for some kind of national run, but her ending up in the White House? LOL, cold day in Hell.
She's also burned her share of bridges in Alaska.
I hope she wears her tightest skirt when she gets inaugurated! I can't wait.
But, hey, maybe she's the best conservatives have to offer. If that's the case, more's the pity and pass the popcorn.
Ive always been amused at the level of hatred that the left still has for Palin.
How much press did Edwards get 6mo after W. took office?
Seems to me he was pretty much forgotten, even tho everyone pretty much knew he was going to take another shot at the #1 seat the next time around.
And yes thomas, you're correct about the ignorant sexist comment, but you really need to consider the source.
the majority of the left, and, let's be honest, a large share of Republicans as well, see her for what she is...an empty suit and a phoney one at that.
Her press conference announcing this was laughably lame and does anyone actually believe tripe like this?:
'Mrs. Palin said she reached her decision after polling her children about whether they wanted her to "make a positive difference and fight for all our children's future from outside the governor's office."
Barf bags all around, please.
I'm with John McCain's buddy here:
'Those close to Mrs. Palin's former running mate, Sen. John McCain, were less circumspect. One of Mr. McCain's closest friends and confidants, John Weaver, told the Washington Post he was "not smart enough to see the strategy in this."
"We've seen a lot of nutty behavior from governors and Republican leaders in the last three months, but this one is at the top of that," Mr. Weaver said.
Please name ONE bill introduced by Barak Obama while he was a Senator.
Just one.
After all, Barak Obama was elected president. He cannot be "an empty suit and a phoney one at that" which means he must have done something for America that warranted being elected President.
Plenty of bills he Co-sponsored. But none written and indroducd by him. Looks like Barak was just riding coat-tails in the Senate. An empty suit, a play-dough type of person who could say nothing better than anyone.
Don't blame me,
I didn't vote for a socialist.
of threads dealing with any topic except George Bush, and some liberal on here will post a comment that blames George Bush for whatever the topic is about, with conservatives hollering all the while.
You're talking about Barack Obama because of the empty suit comment?
I actually agree, in historical terms, Obama's accomplishments before being elected President can be considered meager.
In large measure, he was elected because the American voting public believed he had the promise, the potential, the intellect to be an effective President...and, yes, the Republican brand name was soiled by eight years of Bush screwups.
Was it a somewhat risky choice? Yes, and time will tell if it was the right one.
Sarah Palin did nothing, in debates, in the few press conferences she actually had, to demonstrate a sound grasp of issues or an intellectual wherewithal to even discuss the issues voters felt important.
Obama has the potential to be effective, maybe even great. (He could also flop). Palin doesn't rate highly on the potential meter and she's mostly effective with extreme right-wingers who place issues like religion, God and guns at the top of their agenda.
Those are not the issues the majority of Americans are concerned with. If she's the face of the Republican Party, conservatives may not win a presidential election again for a very long time.
I think the underlying reason (regardless of what she said) was that she can't 'prepare' to run for president as long as she's stuck in Alaska - this frees her up. I honestly don't care if she runs - she won't win, she's not smart enough, and the shortest skirt in the world won't hide that.
If an idiot who can't speak w/o a teleprompter can win-she can.
won't be responsible for the baby anymore, maybe. They are such little mothers. But the real mother needs to mother her children. Thomas this is not a sexist statement, it is a true statement. That is part of the reason children are having children, no one is home watching them. That is why children are so out of control, their parents have abandoned them. Sarah Palin AND her husband abandoned the children. I think that is plain for all to see. It has absolutely nothing to do with the sex of the parent but the commitment of the parents to be parents.
The moral right Sanford and Palin, full of family values both abandoned their children while serving as governor. One is male and one is female, one is a mother and one is a father. Surely you can understand where my statement came from. You can't be that closeminded.
I don't think anybody hates/hated Sarah Palin, I know I don't/didn't. I just thought she was in over her head and used her "sexuality" to garner the attention of the republican party. It just didn't work, I am sure there is more coming down the road, other than abandoning her constituency that is the reason for this decision. Probably been on the Appalachian trail.
Can women have full time jobs and be mothers? I think the state of America in 2009 when it comes to families will give you the answer to that question. Babies having babies. Who is minding the children? Nobody! Conservatives aren't parenting their children either. Mommy is at work, Daddy is on the Appalachian Trail and the kids come home to an empty house, TV, Computers, Cell Phones and video games.
So you don't think women should have children and work outside the home?
get back with me on that question after you and your wife have your first baby.
conservative white male...
Now you all KNEW it was only a matter of time before the resident bigot would start spewing the racist pap, didntcha?
Oh how she stereotypes:
Conservatives aren't parenting their children either. Mommy is at work, Daddy is on the Appalachian Trail and the kids come home to an empty house, TV, Computers, Cell Phones and video games.
In your mind that's how all conservative households are run?
You embarrass yourself. My Lord, just how is what you just said any different from when Georgeassholejetson posted his moronic views about blacks contributing nothing to society but entertainment. You're no better than he is, and he was denounced by posters here en masse as a troll. How are you different?
You pontificate on Palin and her children. If she's such an awful parent, lets hear some facts about how horrible her kids are turning out? You know the press is up their backsides for every thing they do - what laws can you show me that her kids have ever broken? Can you say the same about your own children? You already posted about how you cant keep one of your kids out of jail - why dont you mind your own back yard before you start running down other people and how they raise their kids.
Yes, her daughter became pregnant. OH Despair!!!! Despite the circumstances, there are actually people on both sides of the political fence who dont see that as "a punishment", as some presidents have called it. And there have been thousands and thousands of mothers who've had unplanned babies, who have turned out just fine - AND there are thousands and thousands of unplanned babies who have been welcomed into a family and grown up into wonderful people. Did all these young mothers and fathers come from lousy parents? Or maybe it's just the white conservative ones because black democrats have it all together and dont produce unplanned babies?
That comment coming from you of all people speaks volumes about you. You are a true cretin.
if you could read you will see that Thomas referred to himself as a "conservative white male." I did not insert /spew race into this conversation. You are just silly. I will now read the rest of your rant and possibly comment.
after reading your silly rant, I choose not to comment.
he does seem as a silly little boy at times.
Continue to refrain from getting down in the gutter with the uneducated and the unenlightened such as him.
He is not worth it.
He acts like he owns this board.
His attribution of remarks to you is, at times, preposterous.
He appears to be trolling for an argument.
Apparantly that is what makes his day. Sad, sad.....
A true troll, indeed.
I can see now why you refer to him as "sillyBilly".
"let's be honest, a large share of Republicans as well, see her for what she is...an empty suit and a phoney one at that."
I disagree with this statement.
She has done well in her state and even despite the media attacking her at every step she has very comparable approval ratings. You don't get those by being a phony especially during a recession.
Besides she did help the McCain ticket despite what the media tells you. McCain got more female supporters to support him than Bush did in '00 and '04 without any significant legislation or without picking up a single female issue. The only factor that could raise female support logically would be the addition of Palin on the ticket.
As for purnhrt. That is why children are so out of control, their parents have abandoned them. I totally disagree. Most children are out of control is because the parents allow their children to be. I see "cougars" out all the time with their children. They dress alike and they act alike. These single mothers are allowing their children's inappropriate behavior because it will help them score a 20 yr old boyfriend.
Just yesterday I was at a water park in palm springs. I saw countless numbers of 7-12 yr olds wearing bikini's. I believe at that age by allowing that type of swimwear you are promoting their sexuality earlier and by the time they hit 13 it's no wonder why they are already sexually active.
with almost every poll between the time she was announced as the VP choice last year and the election.
The more people saw of her, the more they thought she was unqualified. That included many Republicans.
This latest decision by her is only going to add to that opinion.
True, but you'll get that when you go for as visible of a position as what she was going for. Add to that the attacks on her.
Yet this month she has a 54% approval rating. Compare that to Ted Strickland's 46%. Strickland has been anything but high profile and definitely hasn't had the attacks. Strickland's drag on his numbers is the state economy.
you're going to have to get past this 'blaming' notion that the press and 'the attacks on her' are the reason her approval numbers dropped and the McCain-Palin ticket got creamed last fall.
Voters looked at her, and they didn't like what they saw..except certain right-wingers who appreciated her positions, as I already spoke of, on religion, abortion and guns.
She didn't measure up on everything else and its the 'everything else' that really matters to the vast majority of Americans.
It's a tough pill to swallow, perhaps, but you're just gonna have to do it.
By the way, just to add, who quits a governorship because of perceived attacks in the press and borderline-ethical jokes by late-night comedians (Letterman)?
Honestly, she can't stomach this malarky enough to finish her governor's term but she's still considered presidential material and able to handle the world stage and everything that comes with that by her defenders?
And Obama's considered soft by some by way of comparison? Please.
"Voters looked at her, and they didn't like what they saw..except certain right-wingers who appreciated her positions,"
um... she has a 54% approval rating in her state. Barack Obama has a 53% approval rating according to Rasmussen reports yet people are talking about how well liked he is.
I was talking nationally, about what happened with the '08 election.
If you want to talk about Alaska, and if those are actually her approval ratings (54%), now we're talking of someone, alledgedly popular, quitting her term because the press has been nasty to her and her family? Wow, isn't she tough under fire?
She's quitting, IMO, because she can now focus on the lower 48 for a '12 election test drive. She's also, with her book coming out, going to be getting speaking engagements up the wazoo. She'll be raking in the dough hand over fist.
Turns out she's just another politician selling out to get richer. It's not unethical or illegal, and neither is it noble or endearing. Many others have done it, although most of them at least finish the job they were elected to do in the first place before turning on the money spigot.
But, I know, she 'polled her children', LOL.
Here's what a Palin presidential candidacy means to me.
The death of the feminist movement!
Fifteen years ago this movement still held some power even with the failure of the ERA. However today it's a nonexistent joke. Too many conservative women have been attacked and not been aided for them to hold any type of political clout anymore.
They allowed Hilary Clinton to be attacked and stood silent. They allowed Sarah Palin and her children to be attacked and stood silent. They allowed Miss California to be attacked and stood silent.
So with this it's not surprising to me that Homosexuals serving openly in the military is still an issue yet Women serving on the front lines is not.
Hold up! You are all over the place with this thread. Focus! And who is "they?"
Who is this MikeA of which you speak?
But when I asked Palin if she ever decided to pursue national office again, as she did less than a year ago when she joined Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., in the race for the White House, wouldn't she encounter the same political blood sport? Can such ugliness ever be avoided?
Palin said there is a difference between the White House and what she has experienced in Alaska. If she were in the White House the "department of law" would protect her from baseless ethical allegations.
"I think on a national level your department of law there in the White House would look at some of the things that we've been charged with and automatically throw them out," she said.
There is no "Department of Law" at the White House.
I think she means the justice dept don't you?
There is no TU anywhere in Toledo yet people still insist on calling it that.
Even if she meant Justice Department, it doesn't perform the function she's describing, just ask Bill Clinton and Richard Nixon.
As for calling it TU, is some guy who was interviewing for the job of President of the University of Toledo kept calling it TU, you'd think him an idiot.
"you'd think him an idiot."
I didn't call anyone an idiot.

i was in one of the restaurants near shangrila mall's cinema lobby, attending a meeting. funny how the chairs the attendees (including myself) sat on, resembled those highschool armchairs we used back at school. i was at the back row, with most backs turned away from me; but i had the funny feeling that all the men and women attending this meeting were all high profile people in the society--businessmen perhaps, or politicians even--i can tell from the suits and the coats. in front of us, customers were lining up for gourmet sandwiches at Oliver's sandwich counter. the light chatter starting to emerge was suddenly hushed when she entered the room, resplendent in her eighties big blonde hair, teased to perfection; big pearl bling-blings dangling from her neck, happily chewing her bubble gum. "ooh, its melanie marquez! haha, great", i thought to myself. a booming voice somewhere declared, "all rise for the president". and suddenly all the men and women in the meeting rose to greet her. Horror of all horrors. Am i really seeing this? this is melanie marquez, right? then she started to speak : "All right ladies and gentlemen, you may take your seats. as you all know i called this cabinet meeting to let you see my new dress". a red polka-dot piece with big shoulderpads. "You see, this is the current state of our country".
and then i woke up. thank God i woke up.

BomberMan X MegaMan
I'm super excited to tell everyone that I won the BomberMan Grand Finals~!!! I won 8,000 MS pts in total~!!!! I pride myself on being a great BomberMan player, but I have to admit, the final match was intense. It literally came down to the last falling block in sudden death. I came out the winner though with some quick thinking~! This is the official facebook page for the game: http://www.facebook.com/#!/officialbomberman . They don't have all the pictures up yet I think, but check it out. The game is AWESOME. The new weapons and modes are insanely fun. BTW, that blow up black ball you see in the pic is supposed to be a bomb....
MegaMan Universe is addicting and super fun. You can customize your MegaMan and create your own stages. You can pick characters from the CAPCOM world too, for some reason I'm not too hyped about that tho. I just want to create my own stages. You can add artwork~!!!! My stage is gonna be littered with graff. Also the new MegaMan...Men designs are bad ass. Especially the Universe MegaMan created for the game. He's all shiny and TRON looking~!!!! It's hilarious that you can also select the MegaMan 1 box art character.

Modern Ireland
Senia Paseta
Publisher: Oxford University PressFormat: Paperback
This is a book about the Irish Question, or more specifically about Irish Questions. The term has become something of a catch-all, a convenient way to encompass numerous issues and developments which pertain to the political, social, and economic history of modern Ireland.The Irish Question has of course changed: one of the main aims of this book is to explore the complicated and shifting nature of the Irish Question and to assess what it has meant to various political minds and agendas. No other issue brought down as many nineteenth-century governments and no comparable twentieth-century dilemma has matched its ability to frustrate the attempts of British cabinets to find a solution; this inability to find a lasting answer to the Irish Question is especially striking when seen in the context of the massive shifts in British foreign policy brought about by two world wars, decolonization, and the cold war. Senia Paseta charts the changing nature of the Irish Question over the last 200 years, within an international political and social historical context.

Hit the reset button...
So I had originally planned on doing a blog post at least a couple of times per week during Centrifuge, hence the wonderful post below from June 24, 2004. If you want to see some classic Barkerian prose, do read that post. It's a good one.
Obviously, I wasn't too successful in doing what I had hoped, since I only have one post there. Mainly, I ended up not having enough time to do the kind of posting that I wanted to do—which, as I'm sure you'll guess, was quite extensive (I mean, look at the post below—it's good stuff).
I basically forgot about my blog 'til now, when I was over on blogspot looking at something about Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) running for President in 2008. We'll leave that particular speculation to the Hotline.
Anyway, I've decided to resurrect my blogspot for whatever purposes individuals might choose to read it. I'm not sure who my audience is, but I suppose I can learn that from the guestbook. Perhaps you'll leave me a message?
So what's with the title?!
When I originally set up my blog, I wasn't very creative and just called it "diezbablog." That's good enough for a just a normal, run-of-the-mill fun times blog, but when I decided to redo it, that didn't seem to have the flavor that I was looking for.
I set my mind to thinking, and I came up with what you see before you: Annales Hiezecihelium. It is Latin, and it means (hopefully) "Annals of Ezekiel." It could also be interpreted "Chronicles of Ezekiel."
If you don't know why Ezekiel might play a role in my life, well you should probably get to know me better or quit stalking me (or both).
"Forward!" ever be thy watchword...
I should start posting fairly often now, as I discovered the method by which one can publish things rather easily. So stay tuned, and hopefully you'll enjoy things as much as I do.

• 42 percent of U.S. workers make less than $15—and they are disproportionately women and people of color;
• More than half of African-American workers and close to 60 percent of Latino workers make less than $15;
• The overwhelming majority—96 percent—of fast-food workers make less than $15 an hour;
• Nine cities and states have adopted $15 wages to date, and proposals are pending in more than a dozen others;
• There is growing economic evidence supporting $15 wages.
Moreover, recent polling released by NELP of low-wage workers shows that $15 an hour and union rights are issues that would drive unlikely voters to the polls. Candidates gearing up for the 2016 elections should take note of these workers' urgent calls for change. At a time when Congress is stuck in gridlock, the Fight for $15 movement is a testament to the power of worker organizing and to the change that can occur when workers come together to demand what's right.

British troops expect to continue fighting in Helmand province for another five years. Over 250 service personnel have died and the situation is predicted to get worse before it gets any better. I wonder if we will see any improvement in the next five years. I really doubt it.
Casualties and deaths will certaintly increase. The violence could intensify this summer, according to US military sources. The country is very unstable, even after our involvement over the past eight years. It is hoped that things will improve over the next five years, but this may well be a vain hope and false expectation. A bright future for the Afghan people is not assured by any means. The UK is contributing around 10,000 troops and that is over 50 per cent more than Germany. In fact we send more troops than Germany and France combined. The Afghan Army totals over 97,000. It should be for them, with assistance, to sort out the mess in their own country.
There is talk that the leading insurgents, which means Taleban backed fighters and certain warlords, are to receive hundreds of millions of pounds, i.e. loads and loads of money, in what amounts to bribes to stop them fighting. That will enrage war widows, the wounded, relatives of the fallen and many others on meagre allowances, poor pay and parsimonious pensions. It would be outrageous to see a great deal of money going to criminals, terrorists and bandits. Perhaps it has already happened. Would it surprise you?

Hell in Helmand? More hardship ahead for British troops
British troops expect to continue fighting in Helmand province for another five years. Over 250 service personnel have died and the situation is predicted to get worse before it gets any better. I wonder if we will see any improvement in the next five years. I really doubt it.

Sound teaching on the Trinity
Some people are rather snobbish about the internet and YouTube. If you know where to look and if you are eager to find it, then you can come to some fine Bible teaching and sound doctrine on YouTube. Yes, there is plenty of rubbish, examples of shallow thought and badly presented material, but there are some real gems and pearls of wisdom.
I would recommend Alistair Begg's series of videos, Reflections on the Doctrine of the Trinity. His sermon is presented in four parts and well worth viewing. You can get to the first part by the hyperlink below and then follow the links for the other parts.

Afghanistan quagmire
Can we believe that fighting in Afghanistan will make the streets of Britain safer? I would have thought that the reverse is true. With no clear exit strategy and the frequent loss of life by British servicemen, how long will this conflict continue and how many more servicemen and women will have to die? For what? Why are we fighting this war?
We seem to be asking a great deal of our servicemen. They have been inadequately equipped. The costs are enormous in terms of helicopters, daily weaponry, logistics, injuries, deaths of highly and expensively trained personnel, and medical support. Is it worth sacrificing our people in a country where there is widespread corruption, political turmoil, administrative bedlam, systemic failures and factional fanaticism? There is no end in sight. We are regarded as impostors, invaders and an occupying force. For hundreds of years the tribal groups have been fighting foreign invaders; we are seen in the same light. Will we succeed where others have failed? The infrastructure needs a radical overhaul which we are not able to provide. The people of Afghanistan must eventually solve this mess, this quagmire. There should be far more support for internal democratic institutions. Education rather than military action should be given much more thought. Hearts and minds need to be won. Warfare will not change minds but will cause resentment and the desire for revenge, spirals of violence. The massive cost of military investment in Afghanistan would be put to better use in our home intelligence service, health service and our educational system. That investment would make Britain a safer and a better place.
The Second Coming of Jesus will be after the tribulation
The clearest teaching of Jesus about the Second Coming taking place after the tribulation is found in Matthew 24: 29-31. This is no secret event at all. The passage indicates that this is a very public and glorious occasion. Let's look closely at the words of Jesus.
Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall down from heaven and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
And He will send His angels with a great trumpet sound, and they will gather up His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other end.
If the tribes of the earth see Jesus, and His coming is with power and great glory, and also with angels and the great trumpet sound, then it will not be a secret event. Far from it! His elect will be gathered up (επισυναξουσιν τους εκλεκτους αυτου). In 1 Thessalonians 4:17 its says caught up in the clouds (αρπαγησομεθα εν νεφελαις) which refers to the rapture.

Three teams now. The Storm are in the draft.
I will get my draft players in to you when I get my post finished later today.
I too will b e sending my picks with my awards suggestions
Sent from a Galaxy far away via R2-N6
You really know how to bum a person out don't you
It doesn't matter though with all that extra stuff, if I win then all that is avoided right?
Yes. Win and not only will you be in, but you'll guarantee yourself the number one seed.
Sunday can't come soon enough then . This just gave me another piece to the masterpiece post I'm cooking up right now. Also this just makes me love this game even more
Ok my nominations and potential draftees have been sent in.
I'll get my picks in tomorrow, along with any noms and other ideas I may have.
No rush, as long as they're in before Sunday.
Also, all of the participating teams and draftees are listed in the 272 draft thread. And yes, someone did submit more than their obligatory three to give us some nice choices.
Oh twin lizards!
OK, good. I'll take a look at the list, then.
Hm, interesting list there. This will be an . . . interesting draft, I must say. Especially since there are a lot of goalies now and not a lot of others.
Does anyone else find it odd that twin Trandosians are from the University of Kashyyyk... doesn't that seem to be oxymoronic?
Sent from a Galaxy far away via R2-N6
I will admit I did a double take when I saw that.
They're trying to break down racial barriers I guess.
Or infiltrating the enemy...
I like option two.
Though if you have a walking carpet on your team at least you know these lizards can work with them.
I wonder if the same team will try to draft the pair...
Too bad they weren't named Sedin.
Oh wait, somebody once had a pair of Sedin twins in a previous iteration of the game. Henrik and Danael. They were on Liam_Vehn 's favorite team.
I figured that if the Kashyyyk Rangers could get Wookiees and Trandoshans to work together on one team, then perhaps the racial barriers between the two species are finally being torn down. After all, we are roughly 250 years, give or take a few, past the films, so it stands to reason that there could have been some changes in that time. That was my basis for putting Trandoshans in the U of Kashyyyk.
Speaking of the Rangers, by the way, I just looked at the Rangers' old roster. I wonder if Ruunjaa and Ruunron are any relation to Jowruun. Perhaps an older sister, or even their mother? I'm not going to establish anything there right now, but it's something to think about for whoever drafts these lizards.
We've already broken the barrier with the old Rangers, so I wasn't surprised at all.
I hope no one is counting on help for the Midfield position coming in the draft.
There are still more draftees to come
Sent from a Galaxy far away via R2-N6
I have now sent in my draftees. And one of them was a midfielder.
Good to know my not so subtle hint worked.
Actually, Limmie has historically been a bridge for species. The Rangers have indeed tried bringing on some Trandoshans to promote peace between the two. It's sometimes a tenuous peace, but it's held more often than not. The Sabilon Skookumchucks of Glee Anselm helped to heal the divide between the Anselmi and Nautolans as well.
Of course, the Smugglers and Miners drove Ssi-Ruuk and Bakurans even further apart. So it's not exactly foolproof.
I didn't even see your post before I sent my draftees in, so I guess it was a super-subconscious decision on my part somehow influenced by a post I never saw. Because that makes sense, right?
Perfect sense.

Been spending an inordinate amount of time here tonight and I don't know why. Haven't had any signs of sickness, not even a stomach ache so, it has to be something I ate, but, to be honest, I can't think of what. Unless it was the licorice. That's the only thing I've eaten lately that isn't in my regular diet. I love black licorice so I bought some. But, I made it last almost a week, which is good for me. Hum. Still, I don't know…
My TV went out, sort of, this week. No picture, just sound. Good thing I had my DVR set to record all my favorite shows. Will be getting a new, used TV tomorrow, just need to find a place for it. It's bigger and older (Analog NOT LED) so it won't fit where my not working TV is. I don't have much room and even less electrical outlets. But an idea is forming… just have to do some measuring to be sure…
Got my taxes done. Getting a decent amount back, should help me get caught up on my bills and stuff.
One finally note, next month I have my hearing for my Disability. So hope I win. It would be such a big help financially… Wish me luck.
Now, it's back to the bathroom and then, hopefully, to bed.
Good night all.
(Not really my bed, but you get the drift…)

Well, the girls managed to pull one over on me...and did a right fine job with it, too!
On Friday, I packed up Tinkerbelle to drive her back to Boston to get her on her plane home. Or so I thought;-). I should have known something was up when Munchkin offered to ride up and back with me because she inexplicably had the day off. So, what did I find when I got back to Boston?
Surprise! Bachelorette party...
Turns out that Tinkerbelle was not actually leaving on Friday, she was leaving Saturday morning, which gave her the chance to hang out with us on Friday night (and Munchkin, too) in Boston. Smoking Hot Roommate and The Boy did some behind-the-scenes chicanery to fool me:-).
Friday was pretty low-key. Dinner and drinks and totally PG-rated activities with some local friends...we went out in the North End and then hung out at SHR's place for the night. Boss Foxy came with her daughter, and one of Munchkin's best friends came over, too (and slept over at our place). All in all, it was really fun, and I was obviously really happy to include Munchkin and Tinkerbelle in the festivities. We have sort of done the same kind of thing for Big Sis and SHR's bachelorette parties to get Munchkin involved, and it is a fun tradition.
Saturday morning started with getting Tinkerbelle to the airport, getting Munchkin's friend back home and getting her back to the beach (Papa Bear stuck around until Saturday morning so he could drive her back). All went smoothly, and then it was off to...
Las Vegas, NV...
No one would tell me where we were going until we got to the airport...although I had my suspicions once I knew that Munchkin wasn't coming. If it had just been a beach place, she probably would have come with us and just stayed in the hotel while we went out. So, Big Sis, SHR, both of The Boy's sisters, four other friends and I headed out, got there with no trouble and got checked in and settled in time to sit by the pool for afternoon cocktails;-).
BFFg was already there, along with two of my cousins and Munchkin's sister-in-law (they all flew out from Chicago together). I was actually really happy that Munchkin's SIL came...I hadn't expected her to at all, but I like her very much, she has been incredibly good for Munchkin's Brother, and I definitely don't think she has nearly enough fun!!! So, I was happy that she was willing to leave the baby at home and take a few days to come out to celebrate with me.
The Body, The Mouth and another college friend arrived as we were sitting by the pool, and the fun was started! I should actually note that our trips to Vegas in college were WAAY crazier, but we still caused a little bit of trouble. Drank too much, ate too much, gambled a little bit (at least I only gambled a bit...I can't speak for my compulsive gambler friends), danced a lot, met tons of new friends, and just basically had a grand old time.
Thankfully, the girls did not request that I wear any stupid "Bride" clothing...or any tiaras...and just basically wanted to let loose, tear some shit up and have a good time. We hit a whole mess of clubs, ran up some astronomical bar tabs (not to mention the damage that the girls did to the tabs of the hopeless men trying to hit on them...) and then wore very dark sunglasses during the day to ease the pain of the headaches:-).
All in all, a really great time. Highlights included a totally priceless monologue from The Mouth on Saturday night about men that try too hard (complete with lots of examples pointed out in the crowd), Big Sis winning and then immediately losing a sum of money that nearly made me choke during three hours of blackjack, a random meathead losing track of his location while trying to talk to us at the pool and falling backwards into said pool, my cousin breaking a heel, tripping and totally feeling up a random old woman when she fell, and a couple other things that I will keep to myself;-)
One thing we did not do a lot of was sleep! So by the time we got back last night, I was totally beat. I took The Boy pretty much straight to bed...hee hee...and then slept pretty straight from about 10:30 until 9:00 this morning. And once I finish this blog entry, I am headed back to the beach for a couple of days and then on to the great Parisian Love Adventure of 2009:-)
More on that later...for now...I am off to the beach!

I was in Boston this weekend on vacation! No wonder I couldn't find you! I kept looking for a tiny blonde with tattoos, diamond earrings and ridiculously hot friends. No one fit the bill. However, my hotel was close to the bridge where The Boy proposed... so beautiful!
Glad you had a great time in Vegas. It sounds awesome!
WOW I'm very jealous!

Image from here.
If you're like me, you spend a fair bit of life piddling away spurts of your own actual potential, taking quizzes to figure out what you're really like when you already know what the answer is: LAZY BASTARD.
In that spirit, via Bonnie, here's a detailed quiz by actual dog show people to discover what kind of dog you are, personalitywise. According to them, I'm a Golden Retriever, but I have my doubts. It was surprising to me how extensive and undoggy the personality questions are, but the Golden's fabled industry and constancy don't exactly seem to mesh with my incredible failings in those areas.
Of course, this other, shorter quiz (not by dog show people) says I'm a Jack Russell terrier.
Who can I trust to tell me the truth when the dog-personality quiz people can't even agree? I do believe, however, that self-absorbed emo about my schizophrenic failure to be genuinely grasped in a canine analog can divert me from productivity for another hour or two. Too....sad....and confused.....to write. Pass the broken cookies, and rev up the Murder, She Wrote. I am bereft of hope and require comfort!
P.S. Firefox works way better for posting in the new Blogger. So that's good. But I'm still not working.

Busy Bunny
I have been really lazy with keeping this Blog up to date so I have decided to change things up a bit with the Blog, give it a slightly new look, as well as the image of this Blog I will also be updating the content with songs, photographs, illustrations... just about anything that interests me. Things have been going well for me, I have my fingers in many different pies right now, expanding my creative skills and talents but right now most of these projects will be kept secret until the time is right to show the world. Saying that I have a couple of projects that I am happy to tell you about, I have been helping a local businessman set up a local Cafe in Dunton Green called Bojangles Coffee House, he asked me to come in and brand the company as well as designing the interior for him.The cafe will all be finished by beginning of July with the interior fully finished, and so far its going to look like an amazing place. The doom collaberation went well and we finsihed of the piece about a month ago, but i have been too lazy to post things so here you finally go, this will be available as an A3 Print soon so people look out!

Product Description
This beautiful teardrop pendant featuring layers of pink dichroic glass that reflect varying shades or colors depending on the background. It has been delicately hand wrapped in 14k gold filled wire.
The pendant is approximately 2-1/4" long and 3/4" wide including the bail. Its wire wrapped bail will accommodate up to a medium size chain or cord.
The cabochon was kiln fired twice in my home studio. It was then hand wrapped in 14k gold filled wire creating a gorgeous pendant for you to wear.
Please note that kiln fired dichroic glass reflects many colors. I have tried to capture the unique colors of this piece in the photos shown with it. The pendant may look different on your monitor than it does on mine.
The chain shown in the photos is for demonstration only and is not included with the pendant.
Our handcrafted jewelry is created by combining the unique skills of creating dichroic or art glass cabochons together with wire-wrapping. The result is a one-of-a-kind jewel for you to wear.
One of the unique characteristics of dichroic glass is its reflecting color. Pictures don't really express the true beauty and depth of the piece. Carapace said the following about a pendant she won: "Wow. Wow! The pendant came today. It's amazing-the pictures didn't even come close to doing it justice. The wire wrapping is so liquid, I love the way it twirls around the glass-and the glass looks like a field of blue fireworks! It's just an amazing piece, and I'm so thrilled to have it. Thank you so much!"
We also create bracelets, earrings and other items using a combination of lampwork, African Krobo, sterling silver, Tierra Cast and other beads and findings.
Thanks for stopping in. Have a blessed day!

I am trying to get some practice at this blogging thing so I figured I would add one about our Polar Bear ride on New Year's day. We had a great trip even thought it was a tad bit chilly. Most of us met in Bealeton and then we finished forming the group in Catlett. We rode down to Longhorn's Steakhouse in Manassas and the food and company was great. As you can see by the picture we all bundled up well. Remember Dave, mine is the shortest one!
I also want to give a big Kudo's to all of the ladies who hung in there and rode with us unlike that whimpy group we saw on 28 riding without their ladies.

Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital
Smiths Falls, ON
59,000 SF Addition 48,000 SF Reno
The Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital services approximately 44,000 residents of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville areas with sites in the towns of Perth and Smiths Falls. Erskine Dredge & Associates Architects Inc. is the prime consultant for the redevelopment initiative of the Smiths Falls site which includes demolition of the 1904 wing, extensive renovations throughout the remainder of the hospital building and the construction of a new two-storey wing. This new addition to the hospital, completed in May 2010, is the state-of-the-art home for Diagnostic Imaging, Ambulatory Care, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Surgical Services and ICU. The renovation of the existing hospital, including the 36 Bed In-patient Unit, is nearing final completion. An essential part of the project was the complete re-cladding of the original hospital, built in the 1950's and added to in the 1960's, using an exterior insulation and finish system. The final result will not only increase the insulation value of the exterior wall, it will provide a cohesive and fresh new image for the hospital.

My daughter was a very healthy and happy baby for the first year of her life. Then things went downhill. For the next 1 1/2 years, she was constantly getting sick. We were dumbfounded because I am a stay-at-home mom and my daughter was not around other children on a daily basis and around very few children when they were sick. It didn't start out so bad, but eventually seemed that every six weeks we were back at the doctor's office with some type of respiratory illness. And… we were hearing the same thing every time we were there, "It's just a virus." And we were sent away with yet another decongestant to "pacify" us, and help us and our daughter get some rest at night. Now, typically a virus will run its course in a few days, only, for our daughter, it lasted a few weeks. She would finally get well and then in a week or two we'd be right back at the doctor's office with yet another "virus". And the cycle would repeat over and over and over and… well, I'm sure you get the picture. My husband and I began asking questions very early on and were always shot down. I think the first time I asked about allergies my daughter was only a few months old. Even as an infant she was always sneezing and clearing her throat. The answer I was given…, "Babies can't have allergies." Now the direction of my thought at the time was seasonal allergies because all of her symptoms were upper respiratory. For the course of these first 2 1/2 years, she never had one ear infection, never had any stomach issues, and only rarely had a rash – which I was able to related to certain lotions or diapers. Her symptoms always consisted of coughing, sneezing, clearing her throat, and congestion – definitely not what would make one think about a food allergy.
People were always giving me advice, and had several people mention chiropractic for young children. I didn't really know what to think about that, but shortly after my daughter turned 2, I decided to question my own chiropractor about adjustments for my daughter to see if it would help her. He took one look at her and said, "She has allergies, and she is probably allergic to dairy." He asked several questions about her diet and then he then explained to me that although it may not be a severe allergy – only having cough, congestion, and sneezing, it may be that she had so many seasonal allergies (over which you have no control over being exposed to), that eliminating the dairy (which we do have control over) could really benefit her. It made sense to me, and decided to give it a try. We tried this for a week and didn't see any real difference, so we stopped and concluded that it couldn't be dairy.
Around this same time, we were finally referred to a pediatric allergist, and because of her age, they didn't want to do any testing yet. Instead, they wanted to see how many times she had to be on oral steroids in the upcoming 6 months to determine if any testing should be done. By the way, she had already been on oral steroids almost every 6-8 weeks during the previous year!
Another six months later, we finally decided to switch doctors and see the one that my friend had been recommending. At our first visit, she patiently listened to our story and instantly believed us that something was not right and there had to be an underlying cause other than "just another virus". It felt SO good to finally have some support! She agreed that our little girl had already been on WAY too many steroids. She immediately referred us again to a pediatric allergist and also to a pediatric pulmonologist.
The pulmonologist determined that she had asthma and immediately started her on inhaled meds to help. The allergist however, still didn't think anything would come of allergy testing, although tested her anyway (they don't like to test children under the age of 3). Having the initial allergy "skin prick" test was miserable for our girl, but definitely confirmed everything I'd been saying from the beginning. She was allergic to practically every plant in our area! What did surprise me is that she also tested positive to dairy and eggs. WOW! Time for some big changes!
at first, I was so overwhelmed. How was I going to get my toddler to understand that she could no longer have the milk and cheese that she loved so much? No more mac and cheese which she had almost every day! It was quite difficult those first few weeks, but it did slowly get better. One thing I found while changing her diet was that practically every processed food in our house contained some form of milk ingredient. Wow! Things I wouldn't even expect, like taco seasoning and beef bullion.
I found it much easier to stop reading labels and start getting back to the basics. Thus our quest to become more healthy and eliminate most processed foods began. My shopping cart began looking like a vegetable stand instead of a typical cart with a toddler in it. All the 'quick and easy' foods were no longer an option. I was challenged in my baking hobby as I could no longer use any dairy or eggs for my family. The family joke at our house was that we were "vegan" but not "vegetarian". I am grateful that my girl has always loved all types of foods. The road was not easy, especially for our daughter. She was always disappointed, and we had many tears when I had to tell her "no" to some of her favorite foods, but she eventually understood that she was "allergic" and that those foods were making her sick. Even at 2 and 3 years of age, she was very good about always asking me if she could have certain things if we were at friends' houses. I was so impressed by her ability to understand and accept her new diet.
I would like to say that we noticed an immediate change in our daughter's health, but we didn't. It actually took close to 4 weeks after changing her diet and starting her asthma meds for us to see an improvement. When we did start seeing improvements, they were drastic! Looking back on it, I am amazed by all the changes we've seen! Literally, in the past 2 years, we have had 2 sick visits!
I would love to have the doctors who took care of us to see the vast improvement in her health, but shortly after finding our answers we moved and had to find new doctors. Because the doctors here never saw her "before", they often looked at me crazy (still do sometimes) when I go over her medical history. Even her new allergist flat-out told me that she didn't think she had a dairy allergy at all because it "doesn't present itself with respiratory symptoms, it always shows itself with stomach and bowel issues." I've had many other people look at me like I'm crazy, and have even been told "she can't be allergic to that, it's healthy for you." To every one of them I've said, "All I know is that once we took it out of her diet, she has become a different child! If that's what it takes to keep her healthy and out of the doctor's office, it's what we'll do!"
In the past year, under the direction of our doctors, we began offering dairy and eggs in baked goods as it changes the chemical composition of them and is easier on the body. They said doing this would help her build up an immunity to the dairy and eggs. A few months ago had another scratch test and blood work for allergy testing. She tested negative to dairy and very low to eggs. The next step was a 'milk challenge' and 'egg challenge', which again she passed without any problem. She now has no dietary restrictions at all! We are so blessed, but we are forever changed by the road we traveled those couple of years.
We continue to eat minimal processed foods. In fact, I have not added any processed foods back into our diet other than the occasional package of goldfish. 🙂 We have added back some dairy and eggs, but not to the extent we had before. My daughter no longer likes the taste of milk, so we rarely buy it. She does enjoy having "real" cheese again, but usually can't eat a whole cheese stick before tiring of it. These things have become accompaniments to an occasional meal rather than a staple on our plate. Of course she loves yogurt and ice cream but with the sugar content, those are rare treats at our house. Mostly though, she likes the "idea" of having things more that actually eating them. I have a box of cheese-its in my cabinet that has been sitting there for weeks because she "wanted" it, but never chooses it when given snack options so apparently doesn't "like" it – which is completely fine with me!
Because of this journey we have been on, you'll find me often referring to my daughter's allergies and why we make the recipes we do. You'll find many dairy-free recipes and some egg-free recipes, all of which we still eat on a regular basis at our house. But you will also see some which do contain these items because we are no longer restricted in her diet.
Our lives and our health have forever been changed! We have definitely become more aware of what we are eating. I truly thought I was cooking healthy food for my family before, but now I know exactly what I am buying, and always strive to feed my family with the healthiest of foods. For us, that means using whole food ingredients and very few processed foods.
Although I would never wish food allergies on anyone, I am actually glad we have been down this road. I have a new perspective on food allergies, the foods we eat affecting our bodies, and we are now a whole lot healthier because of it. I am forever grateful for the doctors who took the time to listen to us and genuinely cared about our daughter. They helped us find the answers we needed to help our daughter stay healthy!

Come Back Michael Fish, All is Forgiven
I watched the Big Brother Launch last night, because I am a top postmodern-socio-analyst and not because I am a voyeur who likes a good freak show. Of course. I think it would be a good jape if they put them all in there and then turned off all the cameras and slowly walked away. The woman whose job it was to open the car door for each gaudily daubed abortion was clearly concerned about a zombie attack.
For tea I want a songbird no bigger than my thumb, drowned in a glass of cognac and placed roasted and whole on my tongue. I will cover my head with a hood to hide my sins from the gods and in the seamy dark I will savour the fat dribbling down my throat. Slowly I will bear down on the bird. I will lick away its breast and crack its back and it will surrender its secret sweet meats. I will not face the light until the bones of it are gone. Then I'll have a cuppa and a fag.

Oof where i come from its hot like you wouldnt believe, i would choke clouds for snow :(ReplyDelete
ROTFL on the freakshow and the songbird, i am a herbivore, but you remind me much of me sometimes Sack Posset, its disconcerting :)!
If I were one of those contestants, I'd be very concerned for my safety. Should ratings ever dip to a dangerously low level, I would not be surprised if the next twist were to completely seal the house, cut off the light and water and wait to see who eats who first. They'll throw a rotting chicken bone in through a trap door in the roof once a month and make them fight for it, with tiny blades strapped to the soles of their shoes, assuming they haven't eaten their shoes yet. That'd put the real in reality television, mother fuckers!ReplyDelete
You are simply fantabulous, beyond description and compare. Your food fantasies are stunning, I've never read anything like them anywhere, not even in the history of literature. Absolutely original and superb, you are.ReplyDelete
Mental Mist, that's a complement and a half! Thank you.ReplyDelete
Arc, get thee to a TV studio poste haste, you could make a gazillion quid.
Paul - those birds are real, they're called ortolans and Mitterand ate two just before he died. Fact of the day.
Incredible. 'gaudily daubed abortions' is a line of poetry and the orotlans may be real but your writing of them, I reiterate, is unprecedented, a fantasy. Perhaps Rabelaise,ReplyDelete

These muffins are unbelievably orangey-(if that is a word) and packed full of blueberries and just enough nuts for crunch…. I love blueberries so I always put a lot into the recipes I have—so if you are tempted to add more, trust me—you wont need too!!!

Brighton and Hove Albion 1
Barnes (90)
Liverpool 2
Bellamy (7), Kuyt (81)
This was a game that should have been wrapped up long before the referee blew for half time.
Liverpool created chance after chance however the woodwork and a few inches here and there denied what would have been a deserved and conclusive lead at the break. Brighton came back into it and tried to make us pay however, our first half performance suggested that we always had enough and so it proved. Into "the hat" for Saturday's Soccer AM draw and deservedly so.
Kenny made seven changes from Sunday some were optional some were forced. In defence Kelly, Robinson and Flanagan started and their performance was such that one was left wondering why all, or at least some, didn't play on Sunday. In midfield Maxi, Kuyt and Spearing were given starts and Bellamy replaced Carroll to lead the line with Suarez. Steven Gerrard, presumably not to be rushed back too quickly, was given a place on the bench.
Before the game much was made about the size of Brighton's pitch (apparently it is big) and how they like to knock the ball around and make use of the space. What many seemed to forget that this would also do us quite nicely thank you very much. And so it proved right from the kick off we found it easy to make openings as Brighton didn't really work to hard to close us down effectively once they had lost the ball. The writing was on the wall at a very early stage as we knocked the ball around with ease and found space at will. So it was no surprise when Suarez found an opening on the left to slide in Bellamy whose low cross shot found the back of the net via the post.
The goal heralded a plethora of chances. Maxi, Kuyt, Suarez and Bellamy were at the heart of them as Brighton allowed them to riff off each other seemingly as and when they wanted. Suarez's cross shot, after a delightful first time through ball from Kuyt, was inches wide. Suarez then grazed the post with a header from Bellamy's free kick. Bellamy then when for the direct route with his next free kick, from thirty or so yards out, and hit the bar and Spearing hit the other post with another effort from distance and Mackail-Smith cleared off the line after Brighton flapped after one of our corners
We left the field having been totally in control however, at 1-0 there was always the nagging feeling that we hadn't made this tell and that Brighton would improve. They did and in the second we were pushed back as the home side presumably took on board Gus Poyet's half time advice to have a go. Coates didn't help matters early on by making the schoolboy error of playing the ball across the face of his goal. Noone took advantage and rapped a shot against the bar. Later Sparrow got in a good position and should have made Reina work harder to make his save. Nonetheless were rode out the "storm" with relative ease and Kenny must have felt confident that extra time would not happen as he decided to give Gerrard a run out for the last twenty minutes or so.
I'm not sure if the captain's return had any influence however shortly after he was introduced we put matters to bed. Bellamy fed Maxi who slipped in Kuyt whose cross shot, in a mirror image of the first goal, also found the net via the post.
Brighton pulled one back after the otherwise excellent Carragher fouled Vincente. Barnes belted the ball past Reina however, and despite the four minutes of added time, it was too late.
Brighton: Ankergren, Greer, Calderon, Vincelot, Cook, Navarro (Barnes 78), Sparrow (LuaLua 78), Noone, Bridcutt, Buckley (Vicente 60), Mackail-Smith Substitutes: Brezovan, Dunk, Taricco, Vicente, LuaLua, Kasim, Barnes
Liverpool: Reina, Coates, Carragher, Kelly (Flanagan 86), Robinson, Maxi, Spearing, Lucas, Suarez (Gerrard 75), Kuyt, Bellamy Substitutes: Doni, Wilson, Flanagan, Gerrard, Downing, Shelvey, Carroll

Dinner smells gross! It's grilled chicken pasta salad...which sounds simple enough. But, Lord knows Rachael Ray has to add all kinds of crap to it that made it smell and taste like crap! The dressing for the salad is red wine vinegar, evoo, dijon mustard, and parmesan cheese. I think it's the mixture of the parmesan cheese and the red wine vinegar that made the weird smell/taste. Maybe I'll be able to salvage the chicken out of it, because it smelled/looked really good. Anyways...then you add the chicken, grilled onions, celery, grape tomatoes, and mozzarella cheese. It looks relatively appealing, but I tasted one noodle and that was it for me! That used to happen a lot though...I would cook for Jacob and then not eat it. He hasn't tasted it yet, because we didn't eat lunch until after 1:30 because he had his ultrasound on his throat/neck. They already called him with the results...nothing looked abnormal. So, where do we go from here? Who knows? I'm tired from not getting a nap today. I got my rx filled for ambien today. But my OB will only call in 15 pills because she only wants me to take them every other night. Too bad 1 pill isn't going to make me tired probably. Ugh!

Back when I was teaching...he he he. I don't miss these. I do miss school but I dont miss the relicensure classes.

I really do have a sense of myself in this universe. I really get that God loves me and knows me and wants me to be happy. I get that there is not a measuring stick in the sky that I'm failing to measure up to. I get all of this. I feel of God's love for me daily. I know that when he considers the lilies of the field, and the sparrows in the sky and all of the world's wondrous creations, he sees me and loves me and counts me as an individual too. He knows me.
I know my husband loves me. Wayne loves me in good health in bad, in rich times and poor, and in thin and heavier times. He really does.
I am enough.....I should be enough.....but....
It's my crazy head that keeps me trapped in my chub. I look in the mirror and don't like what I see. I don't like how I feel when I'm out of control eating, when I can't stop.
Anyone who has more than 20 pounds of chub to lose, just doesn't get what I'm so crazed about. They roll their eyes at my blog and say, "You look great."
Why, when there are so many "real" struggles in the world , am I trapped in this one?
Who cares?
Why do I care?
I get all of this.....I just know that after 30 plus years of struggling with this, if I don't try to get this monkey off my back now, I'll be 60 years old and still obsessing about it. So I'm dealing with it now. Straight on. Heads up. I'm going to be fearless and excrutiatingly honest.
At the end of this blog adventure, I'm going to either end up "my version of thin" or else right back where I am now, just more okay with it.
I'm hoping for the first option, but I'll settle for Okay.

Underground Railroad Rescues Fathers
The divorce hit Daren blindsided like a ton of bricks. He never saw it coming. One day he found the locks changed on "his" home. He soon was served with a restraining order alleging domestic violence and ordering him not to get within hundreds of yards of his wife or children. Her lieyer had encouraged her to file a fictitious allegation of "abuse" to make a paper trail and increase her justification for custody of Daren's children. It didn't take the court too long to strip Daren's life of everything he had worked for. She got custody, routine in the "family" court. Sandy got the house, the car, the savings account. Daren was ordered to pay most of his take home pay to her for so-called "child support" which she spent on crack, entertainment, and new shoes. Daren found a one room hole to live in and managed to find an old beat up car that still ran. After taxes and "child support" he had to survive on about $600 per month. He ate mostly beans and rice, when he could afford it. As bad as Daren's life had become, it was going to get worse.
Daren made the mistake of driving by his children's school, just to see them. He was arrested for "stalking" and spent time in jail. The jail time resulted in losing his job, and he was unable to keep up with the child support payments. His dismal life of indentured servitude, slavery, was no longer possible. He was ordered to appear in court where he expected to be sent to debtor's prison until he paid his back "child support." Some men have been in debtor's prisons for more than 10 years, still unable to pay. An estimated half a million American men rot in debtor's prisons today, most of them will never be able to pay the "child support" orders. The bureaucracy of "enforcement," courts, lieyers, and prisons doesn't really care about Daren's money. They get paid by the federal government to destroy the lives of men on a head count basis. Daren's life was gone, and his body was about to be gone too, slammed into hell and the key thrown away.
That was when Daren found the underground railroad. Whenever slavery is practiced as the legal process, it eventually creates a support organization for escaped slaves. Slavery usually generates an underground railroad to help slaves escape. It's not a real railroad of course, with iron tracks and snorting locomotives. An underground railroad is a chain of safe houses, secret meeting places, way stations, and hidden transportation that allow an escaped slave to move by night though and around official slave catchers. One such underground railroad which now has been created to help men like Daren is The Planetary Alliance for Fathers in Exile (PAFE).
A man in Daren's place has very few options. He could have remembered the old adage that "Dead Cunts Don't Get Custody" and taken care of his children before all the divorce trouble began, but Daren was a non-violent man who had believed in the system. He hadn't learned the truth about the feminazi divorce system until too late. He could have acted like John Malvo did after his second family was taken from him, gone on a shooting rampage and taken revenge on the evil society that works every day to destroy men and families. But Daren was a peaceful man. He could have joined the French Foreign Legion, long a retreat for men with a past they want to forget, but Daren was a peaceful man. Daren needed to find a non-violent way to start over after his life had been so ruthlessly destroyed by feminism and their evil agents of Satan in black robes of hell.
Daren found PAFE. He was quietly moved through several safe houses in different locations to cover his route. He ended up in an undisclosed country with a new identity. He eventually found a new job with his new identity and now lives quietly. He often still wonders about the children that he still loves and cares about, but they were taken from his life by evil feminists, and he had no way of even seeing them again.
Daren is not alone. About 250,000 North American men have been helped to escape the slave catchers in the US and Canada so far, mostly from the US. Bob was surprised by the reported numbers, but not surprised by the existence of the underground railroad. Slavery always creates runaway slaves and good people will try to help. Most PAFE escapees live in European countries with new identification and identity.
The US now has an estimated 500,000 men in debtor's prisons for falling behind on their slavery payments. Add to that 250,000 men who have escaped on the underground railroad and the magnitude of our problems begins to be clear. The feminazi destruction of marriage and enslavement of men is a societal disaster unprecedented in human history.
A government that works hard to destroy families and bind men into slavery is evil in its core. Has any of the widely publicized political candidates been willing to speak about the millions of destroyed families and enslaved men? LOL. Do old tired sows have wings?

Our site uses urlRewriter http module that does the url rewriting for us.
I want to create another http module that will handle our customize URL redirects. Now I want this new customize http module to be call before the UrlRewriter module (to avoid page not found messages the UrlRewriter generates). Is there a way we can contol the calling order ?
I am trying to write a http module that redirect the url:
basically i got a lookup table that contain the Url Alias "breaking_news.aspx" and its associate ID. Any idea how can i accomplished it?
Hi, I have created a http module to update the list item but when i use the Update function of SPListItem object it gives the error: "Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object". Below is the HTTP Module i have written to update the List

A .NET client consumes web services using Soap 1.2 via WCF. The services generate SOAP errors with http status code 400 and body containing SOAP fault code as well as subcodes. The client side exception that is thrown only contains InnerException = {"The
remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request."} without ability to access SOAP error code information.
For http status code 500 type of errors everything works fine by raising a FaultException with information.
Is there any flag to get it working for http status code 400 as well?
I have MOSS 2007 and it is published through an ISA 2006 Server. My SSL recently expired, so I purchased a new SSL and installed it on my MOSS server on the SharePoint - 80 server. I then exported it and installed it on my ISA Server using these instructions
Everything works fine if users log in through the ISA Server (these users are external to our Network).
However, internal users navigating directly to SharePoint could no long reach http:// links. When I remove the SSL, http:// links work, but https:// links do not.
I don't believe I changed anything except installing the new SSL. How can I get both http and https traffic working again with the SSL installed on the SharePoint box?
Thanks in advance.
Hello again SQL Guru's
I have been trying to learn and master module signing and have had pretty good success with help from articles such as
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/raulga/archive/2006/10/30/using-a-digital-signature-as-a-secondary-identity-to-replace-cross-database-ownership-chaining.aspx?CommentPosted=true and
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/lcris/archive/2005/06/15/sql-server-2005-procedure-signing-demo.aspx and some others as well.
However I am running into a snag in my Sandbox environment. I can sign modules for cross dbase access using certs and these (SELECT, INSERT, DELETE, FX) work but when I try to do (EXEC) they fail. However if I add the user to the DB it works. The user has
ZERO, SQUAT, NADA for perms but he has to be there??? Consider this:
2 databases. 1 for WebAccess (WebAXDB) and 1 for CustomerData (DataDB). I create a proc on the DataDB. Signed it and obtained the sig. Created the exact same proc on WebAxDB and signed it with the sig from DataDB. Inside the proc it does a
select. My webuser has access to the WebAxDB and can exec the
I have Created a custom Module for my application. It works fine when i am testing on a sample website.
But when i integrated the same with the original application it dosent works fine. Actully i am using Ajax control toolkit and it uses its own module for request processing.System.Web.Handlers.ScriptModule.
Hence my handlers section becomes something like this :
<httpModules> <add name="ScriptModule" type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptModule, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" /> <add type="MyModule, MyModule,Version=184.108.40.206, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=ba11cfdfb1d1111b" name="SiteMinderHttpModule" /> </httpModules>
Now i think my module working fine but because of it there is some hinderence caused in the Ajax request processing.I get the error sys is undefined.
I have created a class library Project and implemented the iHTTPModule interface and then registered the assembly in GAC and then accessing the assembly from there..
Is there any work around for this problem as my page is not rendering properly.
Please Help.
Dear All,
I am working on a project where we have used few of the web application plateforms & techniques. I need to build a robust exception handling framework for my applications that handles all type of exceptions i.e server exception, unhandled exception, http module exception and custom raised exception etc.
In our projects,
1) we have static ASP.net pages (without code behind) for jQuery menus which uses jquery ajax and custom HttpHandler to fetch the data from the server.
2) some aspx pages load and save application data using jQuery ajax and custom httpHandlers.
3) some functionalities are developed in MVC3 which uses strongly and non strongly type views. Strongly type view save the data through controller on page submit and non strongly type view used jQuery ajax and json to save the data from controller.
4) We are also using HttpModule in our web site to authenticate the user.
Please guide me how to handle exception from multiple sources and display custom error message to the user from asp.net pages and jquery ajax calls?
Hello All,
Need help on one issue, suppose you have a web page(aspx) and having Text box and Submit button on it.
you have added text in this text box and clickd on this submit buton.
In page life cycle where (in which events) you will get value of this text box. ?
Thanks and Regards,
Nilesh Thakur.
Not sure which category to put this question in, so I will put it in here.
Just to give you an idea of the layout of my solution, I have the main project, along with 2 class libraries, BLL and DAL. (Business Logic Layer and Data Access Layer)
The BLL refers to the DAL and the main project refers to the BLL.
I had a test website and the code worked fine, but the same code will not work on the real project. The only difference is that in the test project, the code was on an aspx code behind, whereas in the real project, it is an ascx code behind (Web User Control )
The code is:
Dim connectionString As String = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("ASPNETDBConnectionString").ConnectionString
Dim recordEntry As New UserRecord(connectionString)
recordEntry.UserName = "TestName"
recordEntry.BMI = bMI
recordEntry.BMR = bMR
recordEntry.FTM = fTM
recordEntry.TDEE = tDEE
recordEntry.TodayDate = dateForToday
(VB Express website directed me to ASP.NET Web Services which in turn redirected me to this forum).
Hopefully someone can help me here......
I am using VIsual Web Developer and downloaded the small business application to use as a starting point to help my wife get a website up for her small business. When I load the application, I can F5 and it runs fine but as soon as I make any modification to the app and hit F5, I get the HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden when it tries to show the website.
I notice a pop up that occurs when I run that allows me to choose the link for my app and it displays correctly (I close the webpage that has the error on it).
This seems like a pain, is there a setting I'm missing - I would think that this should "just work".
What's up?????
Hi all,
I just wanna setup a .net framework 4.0 on my VPS for a
new site. While I could not find the ASP.NET tab on properties. I did
some research find some similar problems but haven't fixed it yet.
Any suggestion would helpful.
