Yesterday was my mum's birthday. I am really close to my family and always have been, but somehow I hadn't seen them for ages – nearly a month, since before I went to Mexico, which is one of the longest times ever! I was so excited and spent the whole day at work staring at the clock and wishing the minutes away until it was finally time to head over to Convent Garden.
We met in Henry's, which is a really nice bar on the other side of the market area. I pushed my way through 700 Japanese people taking photographs of red telephone boxes (seriously, it is SO touristy round there) and excitedly joined the fam! We had a drink and then made our way over to Maxwell's Bar & Grill for dinner (conveniently bumping into my boyfriend on the journey).
I've been to Maxwell's a couple of times and I would describe it as a better version of TGI's – big portions of decent food served in a diner type setting. On Mondays they offer 'Monday Madness', with reduced prices and happy hour all night, which I would seriously recommend – it's slightly overpriced at other times! I would book – being in such a prime location, right opposite Covent Garden station, it can get really busy – and be aware that it's quite a noisy, busy restaurant – my Dad spent the first half of the evening looking confused and asking us to repeat ourselves!
But if you do go, the food and drinks are great. We had champagne, obviously…
We shared a chicken platter to start, which for some reason I forgot to photograph – a shame, because it was great!
My boyfriend had fajitas as a main and declared that they were very good – no scrimping on the portions!
My mum had a 'salad'. Not exactly the healthy option as it was an entire chicken plonked on some lettuce – topped with bacon – but very tasty!
I had chicken smothered in BBQ sauce with chips. YUM.
I didn't photograph everyone's meal as obviously we were all having too much fun enjoying ourselves, but everyone enjoyed their food and we left extremely full and contented. I love family occasions like this and it's made me look forward to going home at the weekend even more. It's also made me realise how much fun it is to go out on a Monday – I'm going to recommend it more often (sure my boyfriend won't be happy!)

From the Clot Spring/Summer Clotone Collection comes the new Outdoor Backpack. For the first time, the Hong Kong brand, Clot, presents their own backpack. The bag, coming in classic mountaineering aesthetics, features a leather bottom, multiple compartments and a subtle Clot logo embroidered on the backpack. It comes in a red colorway and a black/gold colorway and it is now available from Haven, so check them out.
With their first bag being released, I must applaud Clot for their outstanding design, in terms of aesthetics and colorways. Quite honestly, I am such a fan of this bag because it mixes practical use with luxurious looks. I prefer the red bag over the black/gold bag, but I would easily pick up either of the bags. Good job for a first bag. Thoughts?
Be sure to check out more detailed photos of the Outdoor Backpack by Clot after the break.

Labor Day, in much the same fashion as Memorial Day, carries with it the task of performing that respectful nod to the rituals of tradition. Memorial Day symbolizes the corner we turn toward summer. While June 21st enjoys the actual start, Memorial Day is acknowledged as that day when we can wear white and still fashionably be seen in public.
I cannot imagine permitting the sun to set on Memorial Day without toasting the holiday with a gin and tonic (and yes, a wedge of lime) – the act that serves to solidify that we acknowledge the coming of summer and all of its possibilities. The pool is readied for the first swim of the season, the grill is stocked with fresh coals, the outdoor furniture is scrubbed and refurbished for the coming months, and the volleyball nets are erected and readied for a season of play.
The celebration of Labor Day symbolizes the conclusion to these games of summer. We plan one final trip to the beach, one last gathering with friends to lounge in the sun and dream away the day, and the last hurrah with the favorite white outfit before it is respectfully retired. With the coming of Labor Day, we turn yet another corner out of summer in anticipation of cooler temperatures.The 'fire bowl' replaces the grill on the patio, flower pots are replaced with stacks of firewood, and we wait for those autumn evenings where we can enjoy after-dinner coffee in front of an outdoor fire – candles are lit and nature embraces us with the overwhelming beauty of autumn colors.
In celebrating Labor Day, I realize that I'll miss summer, but I would not trade this progression of the seasons if it were to translate to even one lost day of autumn. Inwardly, I realize that the casual attitudes that surround the warm weather will dissipate.
It would be remiss of me not to acknowledge one of the greatest motivators in welcoming the coming of autumn – – – Goodbye summer – – Helloooo FOOTBALL!!!!
This magnificent bit of prose that propagates literally every sense I am aware of has been brought to you by Simplistic States newest contributor, JMJ.

BONN KRAUS GINSBURG AND JOHN PAUL GINSBURG, MINORS, BY THEIR GUARDIAN AD LITEM, BETTY K. GINSBURGv.PAUL GINSBURG, APPELLANT.
Before KALODNER, STALEY and HASTIE, Circuit Judges.
Per Curiam.
The court below found that the appellant's "Motion to Strike Judgment and Quash Execution Thereon" presented no new matter and "was merely a rehash and a resubmission of contentions incorporated previously in various motions".The court then concluded "that what is now being done is purely a matter of delay" and denied the motion. This appeal followed.
Our independent examination of the long series of post judgment motions filed by the appellant in this case convinces us that the district court's characterization and disposition of this motion were proper.
The district court's order will be affirmed. The appellees' costs and an attorney's fee of $500. on this appeal shall be taxed against the appellant. See Ginsburg v. Stern, 295 F.2d 698 (C.A.3, 1961), cert. denied, 368 U.S. 987, 82 S. Ct. 603, 7 L. Ed. 2d 525 (1962).

So, this was my first Cake Slice attempt and it sounded so good, I couldn't let myself forget like I have in the past couple of months.
Even with the multiple step process, my baking partner (my hubby) and I put this together over the weekend. And we only made one mistake!!! WOW!
This mistake? Well, we are trying to eat better and I decided to cut the cake down to smaller 6 inch rounds and we made all the correct recipe reductions for the cake. But, something happened and when we went to make the ganache, and the praline filling, I followed the original recipe. Again, not a problem EXCEPT I didn't buy enough white chocolate for the FULL recipe, and it didn't dawn on me until the very end when I couldn't taste the white chocolate that I realized I'd only cut the white chocolate in half but kept the pecans, heavy cream and vanilla at the full amount.
Thankfully the overall construction and flavor were not hampered, we just didn't get the full ganache flavoring.
Overall, it was wonderful and a huge hit. The banana flavor was not overpowering which was nice, and it all blended together nicely.
Visit Gigi and Katie for the recipe or you can purchase the book: Sky High: Irresistible Triple Layer Cakes (Alicia Huntsman and Peter Wynne). The The Cake Slice Bakers will show all the different takes on this cake!
Wow - in this picture, the cake looks like it is about to tip over, but it's not, I promise!!


text: You can't fail to notice the farm fields full of sweetcorn at the moment, and this photo was taken while dog walking after work. I have fond memories of Mum and sweetcorn. She carried on with Dad'd vegetable patch after he died, and the first year she had a bumper sweetcorn crop. However, thereafter was a complete disaster year after year, and no matter what she tried the crop always failed. She got ever so frustrated by it 😊 If I ever get a property where I can grow vegetables I will have a crack at sweetcorn for sure. Happy memories 😆

Hello everyone! So the weekend has come and gone, again. I hope you all had fun! Mine was fairly low key this week, and I loved it.
Food wise, I didn't do (or make) a lot, however I did consume some very delicious meals.
Earlier in the weekend I was treated to some incredible late night snacks and bizarre beer at Sugarbowl (one of my favorite spots, ever). On top of the great food, I didn't even have to blog about it! That job was done impeccably by Patrick on his blog, 1hundo.
Later in the weekend I got to enjoy one of the best comfort food meals that have been served in this household for a while. It was so simple, yet so perfect and delicious. The meal consisted of: a beef stew type of thing, mashed potatoes (oozing with melted butter) and caesar salad (home-made dressing, of course).
Mmm, so good.
The beef we used was probably one of the cheapest roast cuts you could buy, however the cooking method made this beef melt in your mouth. It was honestly the most incredible thing I have ever tasted, you could compare the texture of the beef to soft, white bread (that's how tender it was)!
Beef Stewed in Beer with Gravy
1/2 kilo inside round roast, cut into bite size pieces
olive oil
salt and pepper
1 can of beer (we used Heineken)
1/4 cup butter
all purpose white flour
Brown the beef stove-top in a large sauce pan or skillet with enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
Add in the salt and pepper, and garlic.
Once the beef is nicely browned, pour in your can of beer.
Pop a lid on the pan or saucepan, and let the beef simmer for 2 hours on low to medium low heat.
After 2 hours, make a gravy by melting butter in a separate, small saucepan.
To the melted butter, slowly whisk in flour until you have a nicely thickened sauce (the consistency is up to you and how you like your gravies).
Next, spoon some of the hot cooking liquid from the saucepan containing the beef, into the butter/flour mixture.
Then, when you have a smooth gravy, slowly pour this into the center of the pan containing the beef, stirring quickly.
Only add enough of your gravy mixture as you'd like.
For the mashed potatoes, a good trick to keep from obtaining "gluey" potatoes is to heat up your milk, butter, cream (or whatever you are adding to your potatoes) before you add it to the potatoes. It really works! You will never have gluey mashed potatoes again.
Real Caesar Salad Dressing
2 egg yolks
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3 teaspoons lemon juice
dash of Worcestershire sauce
2 cups olive oil
2 tablespoons warm water, if necessary
1 cup parmesan
Place egg yolks, mustard, anchovies, garlic, vinegar, lemon juice and worcestershire sauce into a bowl or food processor (or magic bullet, in our case).
Mix with a whisk, or blend the ingredients together.
Slowly in a slow pouring stream, add the olive oil until fully incorporated.
If the dressing gets too thick, add warm water and then continue until all the oil is added.
Add parmesan and continue to mix.
Makes 1 1/2 cups of dressing.
The chef was quite pleased with herself about this meal, not a scrape of food was left!
Well, now it's time to get back to working on 1 of my 3 essays due very, very shortly! Enjoy the rest of your Sundays!

Renowned author and activist ALI ABUNIMAH is coming to Portland! This lecture is part of an ongoing tour for his latest book, "The Battle for Justice in Palestine," published earlier this year by Haymarket Books. Accoring to Abunimah, efforts to achieve a "two-state solution" have finally collapsed, and the struggle for justice in Palestine is at a crossroads. As Israel and its advocates lurch toward greater extremism, many ask where the struggle is headed. Abunimah's lecture will offer a clear analysis of this crossroads moment and looks forward with urgency down the path to a more hopeful future. Abunimah is the author of One Country: A Bold Proposal to End the Israeli Palestinian Impasse, and co-founder and director of the widely acclaimed publication The Electronic Intifada. Based in the United States, he has written hundreds of articles and been an active part of the movement for justice in Palestine for 20 years. He is the recipient of a 2013 Lannan Cultural Freedom Fellowship. *Cosponsored by the Portland State University chapter of the International Socialist Organization* ---------------- Feedback on Ali Abunimah's book: "Every community that stands fast, loving its people and its land, its customs and its ways, will be seen, eventually, as worthy of saving. This is because it is our own humanity we are learning from, our own value. There will also arise a special voice to champion us, one that is brave, trustworthy and true. In The Battle for Justice in Palestine it is the voice of Ali Abunimah, fierce, wise - a warrior for justice and peace - someone whose large heart, one senses, beyond his calm, is constantly on fire. A pragmatist but also a poet. This is the book to read to understand the present bizarre and ongoing complexity of the Palestine/Israel tragedy. And though it is filled with the grim reality of this long and deadly, ugly and dehumanizing, conflict, it also offers hope: that as more people awaken to the shocking reality of what has for decades been going on, we can bring understanding and restitution to the Palestinian people. Their struggle to exist in dignity and peace in their own homeland - and this may be the biggest surprise of Abunimah's book - is mirrored in the struggles for survival and autonomy of more than a few of us." —Alice Walker "This is the best book on Palestine in the last decade. No existing book presents the staggering details and sophistication of analysis that Abunimah's book offers. Abunimah's scope includes an analysis of the politics, economics, environmental policies, identity politics, international relations, academic scholarship and activism, global solidarity, and official and unofficial lobbies that have come to bear on Palestine and the Palestinians. The Battle for Justice in Palestine is the most comprehensive treatment of Palestinian suffering under Israeli control and offers the only possible way to end it. It is a must read for anyone seeking to understand the current situation of the Palestinians and Israel." —Joseph Massad, Columbia University "With incisive style and scrupulous attention to documentation and detail, Ali Abunimah's new book offers a complex portrait, from every angle, of the Palestinian struggle for justice today." —Rebecca Vilkomerson, Executive Director, Jewish Voice for Peace "A crucially needed dose of educated hope. This is what hits me from this fascinating amalgam of incisive journalism, analytic prose and intellectually compelling vision that emanates from many years of brilliant activism. Sailing effortlessly from the domestic to the global, from Johannesburg to Belfast and from Chicago to Tel Aviv, Ali Abunimah paints a lucid, accessible picture out of a complex web of racism, racialized oppression, and creative resistance. Abunimah does not give us hope; he helps us dig for it within us by meticulously laying out before us the facts, the trends, the challenges and the inspiring resistance to them." —Omar Barghouti, Palestinian human rights activist, co-founder of the BDS movement, author of Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions: The Global Struggle for Palestinian Rights "In The Battle for Justice in Palestine, Ali Abunimah—the most astute commentator writing on Palestine today—bursts the leaky myths of Israeli exceptionalism while carefully examining where the battle for Palestine is currently being waged. Forget the endless "peace process," which has ushered in little more than massive economic exploitation, tragic environmental degradation, and servile and destructive politics. Focus instead, Abunimah tells us, on the many civil society and campus initiatives around the world that are bravely ushering in a new era of global grass-roots organizing for justice. Rich in information and deep in analysis, The Battle for Justice in Palestine will inspire readers that Palestinian self-determination is not only possible but absolutely necessary." —Moustafa Bayoumi, author, How Does It Feel to Be a Problem?: Being Young and Arab in America "The Battle for Justice in Palestine is a crucial book appearing in a crucial time... Abunimah strips away Israel's justifications for its occupation and makes a vital contribution to real justice in Palestine." —Ron Jacobs, CounterPunch "The inspiring vision Abunimah lays out reflects the hope stirred by a growing and increasingly successful movement on the ground, which is helping to turn the tide in the struggle for Palestine. For those active in this movement, this book is a must-read, but its lessons are for anyone interested in the fight for a better world." —Wael Elasady, Socialist Worker http://www.facebook.com/events/611111062296270/

Admittedly, there are many, but I put thought into the things that I feel knowledgable enough to write about. I realized this morning exactly what this was: … Continue reading
Battling the Bosu
Happy December everyone! It's crazy how fast time flies. I finally got around to putting together my Bosu video. I filmed this one at LA Fitness in Bellevue over the summer, and thus didn't have the room to myself (hopefully you don't mind people doing their thing in the background- just ignore them). This video … Continue reading
Glute Killer
Small movements make everything harder, in my opinion. Why? Because you're holding the exercise at it's highest intensity and moving from that point. Eventually, your muscles start screaming at you in agony and begging for a break…but it hurts so good! Today's Glute Killer does just this. The key is to try and keep your … Continue reading
Glutes & Guns
Multitasking. It's something I'm good at in general, but especially when it comes to exercise. As evident from many of my previous videos, I don't frequently work just one muscle group. These days, everyone is too busy to spend several hours in the gym working every group carefully and meticulously. With my workouts, you can … Continue reading

Seems to me that the religionists concede that the theory of evolution is based on "reason."
Their point, probably, is that God put the evidence there to test our faith, or that Satan put the evidence there to deceive us.
This is the most rational way of contrasting science with blind belief in the Word of the Bible.

I better don't touch this...
... I may break something.
We don't deploy often.
Deployments take too much time.
The deployment is broken
but we don't know why.
Did we miss a step?
The issues will be fixed in the next release...
in 3 months.
Ooops, Production has some settings meant for the Development environment only.
Production is down, a server broke.
It is faster waiting for a sysadmin to fix the server than deploying on a new one.
We can't deploy changes today

We need a new environment for the next generation version of the website.
The project requires 50 persons and lasts 2 months.

If you don't stop Uber, we will stop them ourselves, meter taxi drivers warn
Meter taxi operators have upped the tempo in their fight to have Uber stopped from operating in the country.
Hundreds of them marched to the Department of Transport in Tshwane on Wednesday' demanding the expulsion of Uber.
The three-wheeled tuk tuks have also become a target of the operators. "If you fail to stop them' we're going to stop them ourselves'" they shouted, after handing over their memorandum of demands.
For many months, meter taxi operators have raged against Uber, saying it was pushing them out of business. Johannesburg meter taxi operators joined forces with their Pretoria counterparts for Wednesday's march.
The march began at an open space near the Marabastad bus terminal' where scores of private cars were left.
Under the watchful eye of police' the operators sang protest songs outside the transport department. They walked back to Marabastad peacefully.
Their memorandum gave the department 14 working days to act against Uber and the tuk tuks. Read by Mang-Mang Nkadimeng' the memorandum said that Uber and the tuk tuks were operating illegally on the country's roads.
"Uber' a foreign company' is allowed to bully us as people of this country'" said Nkadimeng.
Members of the EFF and Black First Land First joined the march in solidarity.
"We're supporting the operators because they want their businesses protected. Uber is an international app' while as the EFF, we speak about the protection of local industries'" said MoAfrika Mabogwana' deputy chairperson of the EFF in Tshwane.
The operators vowed to march to the transport department again if it did not give them a satisfactory response within 14 working days.

Fighting For The Faith With Chris Rosebrough – Steven Furtick Answers the Question Did God Make a Mistake?
Below is a transcript taken from Chris Rosebrough's radio show podcast Fighting For The Faith Radio podcast which was originally broadcast on Tuesday May 14th 2013, which you can subscribe to iTunes. I highly recommend you do this if you want to develop discernment. You can also listen to Steven Furtick's sermon mp3 – The Antidote to Insecurity by subscribing to his church podcast: Elevation Church:: Charlotte, NC.
Here is the video link http://youtu.be/h0JVXhEzFBM
[First Segment – 00:09:29 – 00:09:41]
Chris Rosebrough, "We have a Steven Furtick update and he is going to be answering the question did God make a mistake? We are going to focus a little bit more on Steven Furtick's narcissistic way of handling God's Word.
[Second Segment – 00:50:46 – 01:13:55]
[Plays intro music for Steven Furtick]
That is right Steven Furtick update.
You walked up to the pulpit,
Like you were a man of God
Your hair strategically cut to the new style
That Bieber was making hot
You had one eye on the camera as you watched the crowd applaud
All of the pastors dreamed that you'd be their mentor, You'd be their mentor and…
You're so vain, you probably think The Bible's about you
You're so vain, I bet you think The Bible's about you
Don't you, Don't you?
You fooled me several years ago,
When I was just a baby sheep
Well you told me we were made to serve
And my tithe was all you'd need
But you twisted up The Bible so no one else had said a peep
I was afraid, then I heard the real gospel, heard the real gospel, and…
You're so vain, you probably think The Bible's about you
You're so vain, I bet you think The Bible's about you
Don't you, Don't you?
Alright so Steven Furtick's blog has a fairly recent blog post entitled Did God Make a Mistake? Now obviously the answer to the question is well no especially if you understand the correct understanding of the doctrine of original sin and also understand that as you are listening to Steven Furtick it is not God who has made a mistake. It is he who Steven Furtick who is making a mistake in his wrong handling of God's Word. See I am getting distracted by the music. I am loving it, alright enough of that.
Okay so without any further or due here is Steven Furtick answering the question Did God make a mistake? And he is making a huge, Steven Furtick is he is making a huge mistake in how he is applying scripture and the understanding of the image of God. I will explain along the way. Here is Steven Furtick.
Steven Furtick, "The Bible says that….
1 Samuel 16 v 7 (NASB – New American Standard Bible)
7 Man looks at the outward appearance, God looks at the heart.
We can be all put together on the outside, but until you realise that God has been at work since before you were born, putting you together on the inside. You don't even have a clue how valuable you are in Christ."
Chris Rosebrough, "How, yeah narcissism written with a capital s.t.e.v.e anyway yeah weird there, see he did make an allusion to scripture. Listen again….."
Steven Furtick, "The Bible says that….
1 Samuel 16 v 7 (NASB – New American Standard Bible)
7 Man looks at the outward appearance, God looks at the heart.
We can be all put together on the outside, but until you realise that God has been at work since before you were born, putting you together on the inside. You don't even have a clue how valuable you are…."
Chris Rosebrough, "Oh wow I am so important because I need to know that God has been working on me on the inside since before I was born. Hogwash that is not what The Bible teaches. Now let me make you know a couple of things clear here. If you have your Bible flip on over to The Gospel of Mark chapter 7 and we are going to kind of pick up with the tail end of Jesus chastisement of the Pharisees and the scribes who came to visit him from Jerusalem, of course took issue with the fact that the disciples were eating with common hands.
The Greek there is common, so they were eating with common hands or you could say defiled hands and why were they defiled? Because they were not ceremonially washed before the disciples were eating their meal and of course everybody knows that if you since cleanliness is next to godliness, if you don't wash your hands before you eat then you soil your Spirit and you become unclean in God's eyes.
Well at least that was the Pharisees thought and they couldn't be further from the truth and so Jesus chastises them for making void the Word of God through their tradition. Basically teaching things that are not in scripture, exalting their own man made notions and nullifying and letting go of God's clear Word right and then for further clarification starting at Mark 7 v 14. Here is what Jesus said…..
Mark 7 v 14-17 (ESV – English Standard Version)
14 And he called the people to him again and said to them, "Hear me, all of you, and understand:15 There is nothing outside a person that by going into him can defile him, but the things that come out of a person are what defile him." 16 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear! 17 And when he had entered the house and left the people, his disciples asked him about the parable.
Now it is funny this wasn't really a parable. You know here Jesus disciples think that Jesus is speaking parabolically, yeah He is not. This was just straight matter of fact. So He said to them…..
Mark 7 v 18-22 (ESV – English Standard Version)
18 And he said to them, "Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him,19 since it enters not his heart but his stomach, and is expelled?"
The Greek here is wonderful it says and then leaves him and goes into to the latrine. Right and so by saying this he is declaring….
Mark 7 v 20-22 (ESV – English Standard Version)
(Thus he declared all foods clean.) 20 And he said, "What comes out of a person is what defiles him. 21 For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,
22 coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. 23 All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person."
Now with this little bit of information then could you somehow point me to something fantastic inside of me, inside of you that tells me how important you are? Because if you examine your life in light of this list I am absolutely confident that one hundred percent of everybody hearing my voice at this moment, whether it is a year from now, ten years from now or whatever everybody hearing my voice. There was nobody left standing after I read that list. Let me you know okay if you are able, if you are left standing and there is not a single thing on this that doesn't apply to you email me I would like to hear from you because you obviously can walk on water. But let me read this list again. Jesus said…..
Mark 7 v 21-22 (ESV – English Standard Version)
21 For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality,
Have any of you had sexually immoral thoughts?
Mark 7 v 21-22 (ESV – English Standard Version)
21Theft, murder, adultery, 22 coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality,
By the way the Greek here is fantastic.
Mark 7 v 22 (ESV – English Standard Version
22 Envy, [the Greek is somebody with an evil eye. Somebody with the evil eye, that means envy] slander, pride, foolishness.
23 All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person."
Now is there anybody after listening to that list that can say, 'Oh I am undefiled.' No-one, we are this list shows that each and every one of us are defiled. That we have actually tested positive for the disease known as sin and that disease is doing what it does, producing the pussy oozy nasty defiling icky stuff that defiles us, because we sin as a result of what comes out. Sin starts in the heart.
So here already I mean Steven Furtick and this tiny little sound bite that we are going to be playing from him, already is off on the wrong foot. Oh you know because he says, 'Well God looks at the heart.' Well that is not good news. Because God knows exactly what is inside of there and Jesus Himself makes it clear, there ain't nothing good in there. Listen again…..
Steven Furtick, "The Bible says that….
1 Samuel 16 v 7 (NASB – New American Standard Bible)
7 Man looks at the outward appearance, God looks at the heart.
We can be all put together on the outside, but until you realise that God has been at work since before you were born, putting you together on the inside.
Chris Rosebrough, "No you were born dead in trespasses in sins and at war with God. Read Ephesians 2 v 1-3…."
Steven Furtick, "You don't even have a clue how valuable you are…."
Chris Rosebrough, "Oh I am so valuable. Right yeah….."
Steven Furtick, "You don't even have a clue how valuable you are in Christ. I want to say to every lady in our audience today. God put you together. He formed you. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. Every part of you is intentional. Everything about is something that was on His mind. You are unique…."
Chris Rosebrough, "Really so every part of you was intentional and on God's mind. So it was on God's mind and it was completely intentional on God's part that all the ladies listening to this message would sin through coveting, envy, backbiting, gossip. You get what I am saying here? Yeah so that was all intentional on God's part."
Steven Furtick, "You are crafted in His image Genesis 1 v 26 according to His likeness. Say it again ladies."
Chris Rosebrough, "Genesis 1 v 26 says that Adam and Eve were formed in the image of God. Adam and Eve and that something terrible happened and that is that well Adam and Eve rebelled against God and by rebelling against God their children they were born in the image of Adam and Eve the sinners. Let me read this from Genesis 4. You see quoting Genesis 1 and saying, 'You are in the image of God. Well you are just super special, super duper wonderful all inside and out.' No you are not. Adam and Eve sinned and every one of their children was born dead in trespasses in sins. I would point you to Romans 3 for instance where it says….
Romans 3 v 10 (ESV – English Standard Version)
10 There is none righteous, no, not one.
Yeah read that section from Romans 3 and you realise, yeah something has gone wrong here. But Genesis 5, I am sorry if I said four it is actually Genesis 5. Let's just note that there is a change. There is a change that is going on here. Let me read to you from the book of generations from Genesis 5.
Genesis 5 v 1-2 (ESV – English Standard Version)
1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God. 2 Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them Man when they were created.
Now in Genesis 5 v 1 notice it starts there with that we were as humans originally created in the image of God.
Genesis 5 v 3 (ESV – English Standard Version)
3 When Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered a son in his own likeness, after his image,
And so you begin to think, 'Oh well something has changed there.' In fact Genesis 6 & 7 really lay this out. Let me read to you the opening portion of Genesis 6.
Genesis 6 v 1-4 (ESV – English Standard Version)
1 When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose.3 Then the Lord said, "My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years." 4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.
Now real quick here, just a quick little hermeneutical note, there are two schools of thought on this particular passage. One school of thought actually does go way back into the church fathers that believe that what we are talking about here in Genesis 6 v 1 are procreation taking place as angels are mating with women.
However Jesus Himself makes it clear that the angels are not given in marriage. Plus angels are spirit there and not corporal and so you know that I think that is not a good hermeneutic. I think that is not born out, although there is many Christians throughout Christian history who have believed that is the case. I disagree with that interpretation. I am with the other school.
Okay that being the case what is being talked about here are the sons of God. Well we are talking about intermarrying between those who are godly believers with well the descendents of Cain. So you have got two tracks going on here. You have the descendents of Adam, the generations following Adam and Seth and others and then the generations of Cain and his descendents and so you have inter you know basically religious intermarrying which shouldn't be taking place.
I think that is a valid interpretation of a more probable interpretation based upon Jesus own claim regarding angels and so you know that is the school that I go into. But this is not one of those things that rises to the level of you need to anathematize somebody if they have one view or another. I just don't think it is a tenable view that we are dealing with angels. But we get to v5 here is what it says…..
Genesis 6 v 5-6 (ESV – English Standard Version)
5 The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. [Or all the time] 6 And the Lord regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart.
So here is the idea is that you know Genesis 5 makes it clear that because Adam and Eve sinned that Adam and Eve's descendents are born in the image of Adam and Eve who are sinners and that this wickedness goes all the way down into the heart. Which is exactly why Genesis 6 v 5 says that…..
Genesis 6 v 5 (ESV – English Standard Version)
5 The thoughts of man's heart was only evil continually.
And the other passage there in Genesis says from youth. You know this is something that you know it begins in the womb if you would. So when Steven Furtick here is puffing people's egos up and saying, 'You are super duper special and God looks on the heart.' And all this kind of stuff and then he makes an appeal to Genesis 1 that is a faulty appeal because that is pre fall of man. That is pre original sin and you know to make an appeal to that is to make it an appeal to Adam and Eve's nature prior to them rebelling against God. We continue….."
Steven Furtick, "That is God put me together. [Crowd, 'God put me together.'] Yeah you have got to get that deep down inside of you yourself. Because some of you feel thrown together and you are not thrown together."
Chris Rosebrough, "Yeah maybe the reason they feel that is because they understand how sinful they are."
Steven Furtick, "When it comes to your spiritual relationship with God. You are put together. He is match matchie. Let me read you a Bible verse."
Chris Rosebrough, "He is what? Match matchie? What is that?"
Steven Furtick, "Let me read you a Bible verse about God's match matchie-ness."
Chris Rosebrough, "Match matchieness. What is that? I feel like I am missing a cultural allusion here."
Steven Furtick, "Ephesians 2 v 10…."
Chris Rosebrough, "Uh huh now what does Ephesians 2 v 10. Notice here in seeker driven megachurches and the purpose driven churches there is a rash of misreading of Ephesians 2 v 10 and what I mean by that is that it is quoted oftentimes from The Message paraphrase although Furtick is not going to read it from The Message paraphrase here. But to tell you how wonderful you are, but you see Ephesians 2 v 10 is the you know kind of the concluding thought of a bigger thought that begins at v1 and kind of has its culmination in v10. So let me read a little bit of Ephesians here so we understand what is really going on here.
So that when somebody quotes Ephesians 2 v 10 for you out of context, there is a better than ninety percent chance that they are twisting the passage, not always. But I mean there is ten percent chance they maybe correctly citing it. But it is always dubious when already we are off on the wrong foot. He is appealing to Adam and Eve – their nature before they sinned. Telling you how wonderful you are. Talking about all this stuff on the inside and God judges the heart and yet Jesus says out of the heart comes all this evil, vile filth and then here is what Paul writes….
Ephesians 1 v 1 (ESV – English Standard Version)
1To the church in Ephesus.
He you know talking before they were Christians and he says…..
Ephesians 2 v 1 (ESV – English Standard Version)
1 And you were dead in the trespasses and sins
By the way dead means you know dead.
Ephesians 2 v 2 (ESV – English Standard Version)
2 in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience—
Weird that you know here Furtick is going to read Ephesians 2 v 10. But if he would just read few verses ahead I mean he couldn't be saying any of this stuff that he is saying.
Ephesians 2 v 3-10 (ESV – English Standard Version)
3 among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.4 ButGod, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us,
5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— 6 and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
So we the 'we are God's workmanship' here is not some universal statement. This is talking about those who are Christians and those who are Christians they are in Christ Jesus and are God's workmanship – created in Christ Jesus for good works, so God has saved us by grace through faith. It is a gift and not of ourselves. I mean great stuff there. But it is fascinating to me as I continue to study and listen to seeker driven sermons and exhortations and things of that nature that they skip Ephesians 2 v 8-9 and just skip right over to v10 and oftentimes read it from The Message paraphrase which says, 'Oh you are God's masterpiece,' all of this designed to puff up your ego and not confront you with your sins and show you what a merciful and kind Saviour you have who would forgive even somebody as sinful as you born dead in trespasses in sins.
Instead the appeal here is to tell you just how amazingly wonderful you are. Hmm far from repentance and the forgiveness of sins we continue…..
Steven Furtick, "(Ephesians 2 v 10 – NIV – New International Version) 10 For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
This is the same essence of the sentiment that the Psalmist is trying to communicate. God prepared things for you to do before you ever showed up on the scene."
Chris Rosebrough, "Yeah because salvation apparently is being purpose driven."
Steven Furtick, "And He created you to specifically match the very thing that He made you to do. Security in Christ begins when I realise that God put me together. He didn't throw me together…."
Chris Rosebrough, "Yeah security in Christ begins and ends with, has its culmination and consummation in Christ and Him crucified for our sins, not how wonderful I am. Because what does Paul write in Romans that…..
Romans 5 v 8
8 God demonstrates his love for us in that while we were yet sinners,
Powerless Christ died for the what, for who? The ungodly you know people like me. People like you.
Steven Furtick, "Security in Christ begins when I realise that God put me together. He didn't throw me together. Life didn't throw me together. I am not an accident. The circumstances surrounding my life do not reflect directly the intention of my life. The intention of my Creator determines the direction of my life. God put me together and all of our locations clap your hands if you are grateful that your life was designed by a Master Creator."
Chris Rosebrough, "Yeah there you go so. It kind of reminds me of that prophecy that the apostle Paul gives. Let me see if I can read this to you.
2 Timothy 3 v 1-2 (ESV – English Standard Version)
1 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. 2 For people will be lovers of self,
Now you are thinking wait a second I mean that is you know, it has always been that way. There has always been lovers of self and lovers of….no this is a prophecy about something that is going to take place in the church in the last times.
2 Timothy 3 v 1-2 (ESV – English Standard Version)
1 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. 2 For people will be lovers of self,
Narcissistic that is what we are talking about here.
2 Timothy 3 v 2-5 (ESV – English Standard Version)
2 Lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good,4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.
In other words the apostle Paul prophesying about men like Steven Furtick. It doesn't say, 'Well go ahead and go to their church you know eat the meat, spit out the bones. He says, 'Avoid such people.' Yeah Steven Furtick's gospel is the gospel of narcissism – self-love. Rather than God loving the unlovable in Christ by dying for their sins.
Big difference in the messages and well the end results of the two different types of messages. One true, the other false. The one self-love, the other Christ's love for us, well the difference is night and day and the end result will be either heaven or hell depending and so which gospel are you believing? The gospel of self-love or the gospel of Christ died for sinners, wicked and vile who are defiled by the sin that burbles up from within their own hearts. See what I mean?

Goodbye Summer, and Thank you
Hello, Beth here. So Susannah had a rock'n'roll summer. She went to Chattanooga, Florida, Maine, Cape Cod and Quebec. She had visits from Papa, Moonpie and Anne Louise. She learned to ride a tricycle with Buzzy and Shay Shay and she picked blueberries with Jill. She went to the Bronx Zoo, the Natural History Museum, the Prospect Park Carousel, and playgrounds all up and down this fair city, from the Upper East Side to the South Street Seaport. Girlfriend got around.
Her allergist said she was still allergic to a bunch of things, but she eats butter by the forkful. Her kidney doctor said her kidneys looked better than ever. Hurrah! She turned three. She started potty training. She knows all the words to Chattanooga Choo-Choo. She now throws things on the ground (or at the person next to her) whenever she doesn't get her way. Girlfriend got feisty.
She gained four pounds in four months. There's a friendly dragon that lives in her room, and a worm and caterpillar and sometimes a snake, and they must all be removed before she can go to sleep. She told someone on the elevator in our building that she had a baby sister and the baby sister's name was "Emma the Cat." Folks, you can't make this stuff up.

One more of the million things she can do by herself.
Now we're headed to the Highline, a cool elevated park in west Manhattan.

The dreaded 3:00 pop.
My office has had free pop for years. I've been here 10 years in May and the tradition is from well before then. At the end of last year, that changed. We went through a series of layoffs and along with it, my boss decided to raise the cost of soda to $.25 and coffee to $.10. The point was not to have employees pay for their own pop, (although it would have seemed strange to still have free pop when friends and coworkers were just laid off) but the point was to constantly remind us that we are in tough times and need to be frugal. It was a way to encourage us to conserve and save money.
I've never been a huge soda drinker, but somewhere along the line I developed a 3:00 pop habit. Come 3:00 each day, I'd find myself heading on over towards the break room for my fix. The increase in price and my fixed budget slowed me down, fortunately, and it became more of something I had when I was having a rough day. I'd throw some quarters in my desk drawer and see how long they would last. Some weeks I didn't have any, other days I ended up having 2. Almost always when I did indulge it was at 3:00.
I'd say that is when my blood sugar drops and when I start craving something sweet, except that I always drank Diet Caffeine Free Coke. It has nothing in it, and yet, I was addicted. What was I drawn to? I have no idea. The odd thing is that I rarely drink soda at home - occasionally some ginger ale or sparkling water, but that's about it. Occasionally I will have pop out at a restaurant, but I am just as likely, if not more likely, to have water or ice tea. If I am on vacation or away from the office, I don't have this craving at all. It is only here where I work that I feel that dreaded puuuulllllllll....
Of course, that has all got to stop.
Soda at work is definitely an unnecessary expenditure. So, as part of my No Spending Challenge, I am going to break this habit. Honestly, I think soda is pretty evil. We are talking about a whole lot of chemicals and no nutritional value - so why am I putting it my body? I love tea and usually keep a few different kinds on hand at my desk so, if I need a beverage I am going to have a cup of Earl Gray or Peppermint tea and skip the soda.
This is another one of those little things - $.25 or $.50 a week really isn't all that much when you compare it to $900 a month. Even if I have 3 cans a week, it is still under well $40 a year. However, being frugal isn't just about saving money - it is about making wise choices. Is drinking these chemicals really a good choice - even if it does cost me change? Can those quarters be put to a better use? I'm going to use this Challenge to motivate me to drop kick my work pop habit. My consumption outside of work is so small that I don't see it as a problem at this point, but the work sodas gotta go!!

Kicking the Pop Can Habit
The dreaded 3:00 pop.
8 comments:
- getting stuff done said...
diet coke has nothing in it?? are you sure? I am convinced it is even more addictive than fat coke. Folk I know who drink diet coke/ diet pop have a serious habit and crave it. Also it has something in it that is very not good for your liver. A friend of my husband was having a health check and thought that he had a drink problem because of the state of his liver. He was teetotal, but had a serious diet drink habit (like 5 a day or so) and he was told to stop drinking the stuff.
might help with the not drinking it?

Wow - eeeeewww... I find that scary. Yep, that definitely helped! Cool clear water or herbal tea for me!

I read an article about a study of dieters and diet soft drinks. The results were that dieters who drank diet soda lost less weight than those who only drank sugar soda (if they drank soda at all). The conclusion was that after tasting something sweet the brain expected to receive actual calories and when it didn't it just became more hungry for them, leading to eating of more food.
I can't have diet anything. It makes me literally sick. If in makes me sick then I think there must be something bad about it.

K-Money... wow! That is really interesting. I can totally see how that would happen. I am drinking my ultra healthy big mug O water and being really glad this challenge is going to help me kick my habit. After the comments from you and getting stuff done, it might be permanent!

I think this one will be an easy habit to break. Especially after all the comments I've been getting about the dangers of pop! The stuff scares me now!

This is something I just went through myself, only a little different. We don't have sodas at work (sorry, I'm from the south, we call it plain old soda), but I was drinking A LOT on my own. Let me put it this way. I drank so much Dr. Pepper that it was probably running in my veins. It was bad, not to mention fattening as can be. I've been working on dieting and weight loss goals this year because I want to be more healthy and I knew that was one of the first habits I needed to kick. So I've been drinking a lot more tea and water. Like you, I love tea. Matter of fact, need to get some more Earl Gray, but that's another story. But, unlike you, this was also very costly for me. I would buy three cases of Dr, Pepper and that would last me maybe three weeks if I was lucky - and that was just at home consumption. So my habit was costing me a lot of money.
So, dropping the habit has dropped about 6 pounds because I don't have all the sugars and stuff, and left me with more money in my pocket when I leave the grocery store. Sodas really are a bad habit!

It is 3:04 as I write this and I keep thinking "MAN, I WANT A POP!!" I am drinking water instead.
I don't think I drink enough to change my weight, but if I lose a little I won't object! After reading all the comments on this though, I really think I need to give it up completely. (Well, with the exception of some ginger ale now and again.)

|This is how he normally poses for pictures anyway
I learned something yesterday. I got a really great book that I know I am going to love from Roxanne and Troy for Christmas. It is a Max Lucado trio in one. I started with Come Thirsty, and as the title implies it talks about water. This is something that spoke to me as a coach and as a woman in general, but especially in this moment of this week it spoke directly where I have been struggling spiritually. You know why? Because I dried up! Our body needs water to swallow, temperature control, to fuel our organs, lubricate our limbs, help the blood travel, etc, and our soul needs water so our heart doesn't turn into a raisin. Tis' the season, Jesus is our water - that's the gist of Ch.1. Temper/moodiness, worry, guilt, fear, irritability, insecurity, I could go on... We need spiritual water to fuel our soul. The story is told in John 7, but specifically, John 7:37-38 says: "If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. 38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water." It's funny how you read these verses (especially a common one like this verse), and you think, yes, this is great, makes sense, check. But then it comes around later at the perfect time when there is serious application needed. I even have a cool acronym for you (thanks to Max, of course): Think of Jesus as your WELL: his Work on the cross, the Energy of his spirit, his Lordship over your life, and his unfailing Love. Neat, right? Ok, cheesy math teacher, moving on... Not going to church and only having occasional time to work on the soul has caught up to me - it was an easy time to prey, but now I have this great book and found that my church has all the Sunday services via podcast online. I'm going back to work (before I really have to go back to work that is)! Loving God's timing today - He truly will never leave you and meets you right where you are at!

today is the extremely rare occasion that the austrian national holiday falls onto may the first. while that means having one day off less, it also means, well, having two at the same time.
my usual participation in this is passive, though in this country i've come to learn that already is quite a spectacle. from germany i was used to first of may [day of the work] being basically a buffer for all those who danced into the may the night before. an elegant solution for everyone not to loose their job.
but not so here. it's quarter past eight in the morning, and i've just had the day's first marching band pass my window, and believe me that that is far from anything you could ignore in your sleep. seriously, their valiant drumming made me fear for my windows. of course first thing crossing my mind were curses for my neighbours, who are renovating since half a year and usually starting at 7:30am, but this time it was simply the procession in the distance, coming closer.
imagine you're on the streets,
demonstrating for more men in the kindergardens and fight poverty, etc. etc. etc. and you're enforced by a professional marching band and children with whistles, doesn't that sound like gathering attention? but when this stream of people - demonstrators, children, balloons, posters, marching bands [yes, plural] and the much needed ladies at the very front with their handy portable beer barrels around their torso and breadbasket in their hand [hello austria] - passes the streets at 8 in the morning, i'd question the receptiveness innocent bystanders.
this is austria, and it never ceases to amaze me.

today is the extremely rare occasion that the austrian national holiday falls onto may the first. while that means having one day off less, it also means, well, having two at the same time.

Darling don't be scared by the drums of the parading bands. Remember those astonishingly cruel events in Mülheim in the summer, where all those marching bands played unnecessary things never called music. This seems to be a theme in the back of your life which repeats to appears from time to time. Just don't be scared.

you have to admit, though, that those enthusiastic leaders of these procession (tambourmajors? majorettes? cheerleaders? whatever) are quite a sight!

in my neighbourhood there's this tradition, the candy day (free translation).
people on horses and charriots ride along the street throwing candy everywhere for desperate mums and greedy children.
That'd be quite fine if it wasn't for the riflemen that fire their bazooka-size rifles to the air at 7 in the morning all along the neighbourhood :D

In my area we have a significant number of MS-13, widely believed to be the most ruthless and bloodthirsty bunch of bastards out there. They recruit as young as 8. Yes, we have eight year olds out there with firearms. Could you shoot an eight-year-old? Could you shoot this boy?
I cannot say I could, I'll have to find out the hard way if the situation ever presents itself. I'm thinking that in a lawless environment it would be smart to take the fight to them. I am flat-out endorsing the assassination of higher-level gang leadership in a TEOTWAWKI situation. In the long run the world would be a better place. Either someone else rises up to become the leader, or the group disintegrates into chaos and infighting. Either way, there is a period of turmoil you can use to your advantage.
Here is an excellent resource for figuring out what gangs are in your area, their colors, graffiti, etc. It's very comprehensive, and kept up to date. I think everyone should bookmark it and refer to it after scouting missions.
I'm not done reading it but here is a book written by a sociologist who has studied gangs for ten-plus years. He has interviewed law enforcement, gang members, parents, etc. It's quite the body of work, and has interesting first-hand data from the front lines of major cities and their fight with gangs.
Neither site has much in the way on biker gangs. Once I get some good info I'll do my best to pass it along. In my area I would say that biker gangs would be the second most likely organized enemy I would have to face.
Gangs are adapting to law enforcement's increased pressure by adapting their look. Many of the newer members are forbidden from getting facial or lower arm tattoos so they can blend in. They wear polo's and jeans, but they are still gang members – selling drugs, running prostitution, and are always well-armed.
Another disturbing trend is many gang members are going into the military, and then coming out of the service with urban combat training. These are the ones that fear me the most. Thankfully it's a west-coast trend, how soon it gets out here I am not sure.
I will be driving around my area this weekend, during the day, and at night to see what I can find. I'll snap pictures of any graffiti for later reference. Don't forget to mark on a map where you saw it! This scouting mission could be invaluable information down the line if the poop does hit the fan. I recommend you scout around, just be VERY careful. Don't look like a cop, and don't look like easy prey either! Be careful.

It's Not the Money It's the Land: Aboriginal Stockmen and the Equal Wages Case
Bill Bunbury
Publisher:Fremantle Arts Centre Press
Before 1966 Aboriginal workers on Australian cattle ranches were often not paid or paid extremely poorly, but the rancher assumed some responsibility for the welfare of the entire community.
