13 Generations in North America
Acknowledgments:Special thanks to William Laimbeer, Philadelphia Historical Society, Dr. Robert W. Harper, history professor, Rowan University, Glassboro, NJ, and Thomas Bowen, editor and publisher, Today's Sunbeam, Salem, NJ.Disclaimer:History is not just a record of events; facts are elusive without access to people of the past.To reconstruct the most probably path, one must exercise imagination and empathy, whilst striving to maintain truth.Bill Redstreake (1932-____ ).
FIRST Generation in North America:John-the-Finn, a.k.a. JOHN REDSTREAK, born in Varkus, Finland, abt. 1620.Cooper and fur trader on both shores of Hudson's south river (Delaware R) in "New Sweden" (1637-1655), then lower portion of "Nieuw Nederland" (1656-1664), then, after the Dutch lost their south river, he continued to trade in the renamed region, "West New Jersey" (1664-?).First wife: Unknown, believed to be a Flemish or Dutch Walloon woman from "de Vereenigde Netherlandts" (the United Netherlands).Consort (2nd wife):"Walela" (Hummingbird), sometimes called Bright Star, a member of the Unami/Unalactigo tribes of the Leni Lenapes (later called "the Delawares").
SECOND Generation:JOHN REDSTREAKE (born between 1660-1670 in Nieuw Nederland, if born before 1664 -- or in West New Jersey, if born after 1664.)His mother was 1st (?) or 2nd wife (?) of John-the-Finn.This John Redstreak(e) was a fur trader and farmer in what is now the Penn's Neck region of NJ.His 1st wife:Unknown.Then, he md. twice-widowed Frances Go(o)dwin/Godwyn on 9/29/1714, "contrary to (Quaker) discipline" -- assume John was a Baptist.Quote is from Hinshaw's Quaker Records, Vol. II, p.93.( Frances Go(o)dwin, widow of Thomas Chandler, who died in Philadelphia on 7/13/1694, md. 2nd husband/ Edward Goodwin in 1700 and had 4 sons; then after her 2nd husband died, she married John Redstreak in 1714.)

Elizabeth was a granddaughter of John Pledger (1650-1702?), a ships carpenter, who came to Nieuw Nederland (later named West New Jersey) on the eastern shore of Hudson's south river BEFORE 1664 on a Dutch ship -- most probably "de Onrust" (the Restless) or "de Walvis" (the Whale) -- with his "cousin" (brother-in-law) Hypolite LeFevre to negotiate for the land at "Varkens Bloed" (Pigs Blood), a former Dutch whaling post (near "Fort Elsborg"), which became "Fenwicke's Colony" (now Salem, NJ), the 1st permanent Quaker settlement in North America.

Last week I got a little sick of my hair and booked a last minute appointment at the hairdresser, and finally cut my hair again! …new season, new hair 😉
A long oversized coat has been on top of my fall/winter wishlist and now I've finally found the perfect one. So now it's my current everyday uniform!
Other similar options:
Bhs coat, Ugg boots, Pull&Bear jeggings, Zac Posen bag, H&M scarf

Now I have over $300 sitting in my associates account that I don't know which is the best way to receive this money in England. Our banks don't like USD direct deposits, .com gift cards are useless in the uk or am I wrong? Can I cash my cheque (check ) in a different country which is more friendly with USD cheques even if I registered in the UK? Thanks for your input. Cheers!

Each and every week we scour the Internet for nothing but the best in nerdy art. We leave no digital stone unturned, we poke and prod every nook and cranny of the Interwebz. Why? Because we love you, and we love to bring you weekly feed of nerd art. On with the dump!
Above. Catwoman. By Mike Mignola. Like you need more? [Nudity and Nerdery]
Hit the jump for the dump with Django Unchained, Indiana Jones, Super Mario and whatever else we found!
ArtofTu took a twist on the Django Unchained poster with some nice results. Featuring stars Jamie Foxx, Christopher Waltz and Leonardo Dicaprio blended perfectly together. The movie might be some of Quentin Tarantino's best work, but this is some of the best work from ArtofTu. [Deviant Art]
This all new, all rodent Justice League by Bobby Timony is Earths first line from defense from… cheese? Stereotypical 50's housewives standing on chairs armed with brooms? [The Mary Sue]
Paolo Rivera is a damn fine artist and if anything can cement that it's awesome character work like Power Girl here. If your want a cheap joke, you're going to have to do it yourself. [Comics Alliance]
Even the Dark Knight needs to take a break from all the criminals and psychopaths walking around Gotham while on patrol and what a better way to do it then with Tetirs on the side of a building. Created by artist BossLogic this highly detailed piece almost showing a lighter side to the man in the shdaows. [Geek Tyrant]
Ever want to follow your favourite Indiana Jones character through the journey of an entire film, but hate to sit down for two hours to do it? Than you're in luck, thanks to artist Andrew DeGraff and his "Path of…" series you can have an entire film on one image. And if Indy isn't your thing DeGraff has also done a line surrounding the Star Wars franchise, get your while you can. [Topless Robot]
Based on Action Comics issue #1, the first appearance of Superman, this Mario twist by Hartzack is a perfect E for everyone design. Even better, you can get this "Super Mario" of your very own to wear as of today only for $10. [Game Freaks]
If an army of these Star Wars stormtroopers can't hit a single jedi there is no way in hell these walking meat shields will stand a chance against rhymesyndicate and the Xenomorphs. [Obvious Winner]
I'm surprised that with Disney now owing the entire Marvel catalogue Christopher Stoll is the first person to do this. Crossing each Disney Princess with a Marvel Avenger is pure genius! [Lado Inverso]
Is this a Princess Bride cartoon? INCONCEIVABLE! This actually the work of Jeff Victor called "As You Wish…," featuring Westley and Buttercup in the dreaded fire swamp. It almost look like it could be a full blown cartoon, maybe after twenty-five years it's time. We call dibs on the idea. [Geek Tyrant]
and lastly…. no… No…. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! [Bluewater Productions]

Breaking the law? Come to Fort Worth, Texas!
That's the message that Fort Worth police officer Daniel Segura shared in a nearly 6-minute Facebook video on Thursday morning. Sitting in his patrol car, he took time out of his busy day to reassure illegal aliens in Fort Worth that they have nothing to fear from the law, according to TheBlaze.
In fact, Officer Segura wants them to know that they will be protected from the consequences of breaking the law.

Speaking entirely in Spanish, Community Service Officer Segura made it eminently clear which community he serves.
"In the City of Fort Worth for many, many years, we have not enforced immigration laws. We are not federal officials that can enforce federal immigration laws. I want to make that very, very clear," Segura said. "If you are the victim of a crime, we don't care about your immigration status. You have the same rights as anyone else who lives in Fort Worth. We are going to defend you. We are going to protect you."

"We, in Fort Worth, do not execute or enforce laws on immigration so that people that live in Fort Worth do not have the fear that we can possibly deport them. That is not true," Segura added.
Here's the video:

The reaction from the Fort Worth Police Department was sure and swift.
"The Fort Worth Police Department enforces all laws and protects all its citizens and is not a sanctuary city. The video was not intended to represent the views of the City of Fort Worth on immigration or compliance with immigration policies," the Department said in a statement released Friday, according to NBC News.
Officer Segura will not be subject to disciplinary action related to the video, the department told KDFW.
This is revolting. Every officer vows to uphold the law, and this man, who works for the taxpayers, proudly wants the world to know that he doesn't. He is a disgrace to dedicated uniformed officers everywhere.

Amid an outrage over its denunciation of Indian security forces and intelligence establishment, the Canadian government chose to remain mum today.
Canadian diplomats here did not take phone calls of journalists while emails sent to their headquarters in Ottawa resulted in pass-the-buck attitude with their Foreign Ministry saying the query should be addressed to the Interior Ministry.
The Interior Ministry did not respond to an email.
The stony silence by the Canadian government came even as the Home Ministry is pushing the External Affairs Ministry to adopt a tough line over the issue and political parties reacted with outrage over Canada's behaviour.
The Canadian High Commission, over the last few years, has denied visas to a number of senior serving and retired officials of the armed forces and intelligence establishment, claiming that their organisations or they themselves have served in sensitive areas like Jammu and Kashmir and engaged in violence and human rights violations.
Home Secretary G K Pillai has written a strongly-worded letter to Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao, insisting that the MEA should act tough and seek apology from the High Commission and withdrawal of the officials who made the adverse comments against the security forces, sources said.
The Home Ministry wants the apology and the other action from the High Commission within a week, warning that there will otherwise be retaliation and the Canadian officials going to Afghanistan via India would be denied permission.
External Affairs Ministry sources said it has taken up the matter with the Canadian High Commission "more than once".
Meanwhile, BJP today accused the Government of following "a very weak" foreign policy.
"Has India's foreign policy become so weak that a country like Canada is denying visas to top offficials?.. We don't need any certificate from Canada on our armed forces but such incidents show that we are following a very weak foreign policy," party spokesman Ravi Shankar Prasad told reporters.
He said that while India was fighting terrorism for the past several decades, the government was unable to present its case properly before the world.
NDA convenor and JD(U) chief Sharad Yadav said, "this kind of attitude by a country like Canada only goes on to show that India has become subservient to such countries."
He said, "if the nation is strong then nobody can behave in such manner with us. There is a need to strengthen India in front of the world."
Congress also disapproved of the Canadian action.

CONCORD, N.H. — When 20 slaves petitioned New Hampshire two centuries ago seeking their freedom, lawmakers decided the time wasn't right and delayed action.
Now, 233 years later, legislators in one of the nation's whitest states have decided the time is right to consider the request. A Senate committee on Wednesday unanimously recommended the full body posthumously emancipate the 14 petitioners who never were granted freedom.
Woullard Lett, a member of the Manchester NAACP, said it's never too late to right a wrong.
"It's symbolic and 200 years late, however then and now it's the right thing to do," Lett said before testifying at the hearing.

Nice but didn't like the slant
Posted by Unknown on Dec 10th 2016
These are nice set of saddle bag liners but the heritage Softail does not have slanted saddlebags so these do not go in there the way the prior model did they were just straight bags that drop-down in and left you with more room on either side of the liner.

Views from the Ocean Park Needle.
I'm a day late in getting this started. Most of yesterday was spent on my to do list from our RiverGrace Leadership Team meeting.
Our Leadership team interviewed a candidate for pastor. I will not reveal his name yet, as it has to be interviewed by the Yan Yue (mother church) who will give official approval if they deem him a wise choice.. Hopefully they will conduct an interview in the next couple weeks.
After the deacons approve the application, the church conference, Hong Kong Evangelical Church, will also conduct an interview and give final approval. The last step is normally just a formality, and unless something is known about the candidate that has not come out in the vetting process, they will approve.
I will tell you this much. I've known the candidate since the late '80's. He entered United Christian College in 1989, and was in the school my last two years teaching there. He was in the English stream so I got to know him pretty well there. He became a Christian soon after he entered UCC, and was influenced a lot by the basketball coach at that time, Chan Siu Cheuk.
The candidate was also a graduate of the seminary we started in 2000. Please continue to pray for God's will in this decision. We look at this candidate as the one to take over when we retire, or even before, if he's ready.
To be honest, it's hard to find pastors now in Hong Kong. I'm not sure all the reasons, but we had only one other application after several rounds of advertisements in the Christian magazines here. The other applicant was not one that we considered in the end.
The one that we interviewed only came by "chance". haha. I think it was another God-thing. About a month ago I was sitting by Dr. Tony Kwan at lunch after our monthly co-workers prayer meeting. I asked him if he knew of any graduates / students who might be suitable to pastor RiverGrace. He immediately mentioned the one we interviewed, and texted him on the spot. Even before lunch was over, we had communicated about meeting up to talk about the possibilities. So I thank the Lord for his work and leading in all of this.
On one other note this week, this coming Sunday we'll have 3 ladies baptized at one of the Hong Kong Evangelical Church's joint baptismal services. One of the gals is from China and the other two are Filipinas. We praise the Lord for his work in their lives! Next week, I'll have photos of them.
That's it for this week. Make it a great week! Blessings, Dave

Pondering God's Achievement
God, I ponder Your achievement.
You don't condone my sin,
Nor do you compromise Your standard.
You don't ignore my rebellion,
Nor do You relax Your demands.
Rather than dismiss my sin,
You assume my sin,
And incredibly sentence Yourself.
Your holiness is honored.
My sin is punished…
And I am redeemed.
You have done what I cannot do--
So I can be what I dare not dream--
Perfect before You.

"Neither" - Connie Willems
I've been reading the book of Joshua recently and noticed a new "beginning"to the familiar account of the battle of Jericho. In Sunday school, thestory always started in chapter six with God telling the Israelites to walk around Jericho for seven days before the walls "came tumblin' down." This time, I realized the story actually starts at the end of chapter five.
Joshua is "near the city"—a risky place for an enemy commander to be. In fact, I wondered what he was doing there. Was he on a reconnaissance mission? Was he studying the city walls, trying to come up with a plan of attack?
Suddenly, Joshua is interrupted when he looks up and sees a man in front of him holding a drawn sword. His battle instincts triggered, Joshua walks forward with a challenge: "Are you for us or our enemies?"
How does the man answer? "Neither, but as commander of the army of the Lord I have now come." Neither? I love that reply!
Joshua's take on the situation had been clear: "This man is either for me or against me." But that "neither" blew his friend-or-foe categories out of the water. The passage reveals that it is not just a man but God who was in front of Joshua - and God isn't bound by "option A or option B" thinking.
"Take off your shoes," Joshua hears, "for the place where you are standing is holy." And soon Joshua is standing barefoot in the middle of holiness as God outlines His battle plan.
I don't know about you, but I often get stuck in "this or that" mode: People are either friends or foes. A situation is right or wrong. I can only choose between Door 1 or Door 2. Sometimes I even batter away at God, trying to get Him to tell me which option He's going to identify with. Joshua's story reminds me that God may be replying to my "This or that?" questions with, "Neither."
And just maybe, He would like me to recognize His presence, take off my shoes, and stand still for a while on holy ground so He can outline a perspective I'd never have considered otherwise.

Turkeys will thaw in the morning, then warm in the oven to an afternoon high near 190F. The kitchen will turn hot and humid, and if you bother the cook, be ready for a severe squall or cold shoulder.
During the late afternoon and evening, the cold front of a knife will slice through the turkey, causing an accumulation of one to two inches on plates. Mashed potatoes will drift across one side while cranberry sauce creates slippery spots on the other. Please pass the gravy.
A weight watch and indigestion warning have been issued for the entire area, with increased stuffiness around the beltway. During the evening, the turkey will diminish and taper off to leftovers, dropping to a low of 34F in the refrigerator.
Looking ahead to Friday and Saturday, high pressure to eat sandwiches will be established. Flurries of leftovers can be expected both days with a 50 percent chance of scattered soup late in the day. We expect a warming trend where soup develops. By early next week, eating pressure will be low as the only wish left will be the bone.

Those with military experience are very familiar with the expression "sleep fast." This refers to grabbing a few winks whenever, wherever possible. That's because in the military, sleep is unpredictable and often inadequate—especially in combat.
In recent years, both the medical community and the military have conducted extensive, continuous testing on all aspects of sleep, from minimum sleep requirements to the effects of sleep deprivation.
I'm not an expert on sleep, and my views are only those of an average person who knows just enough to defer to the real experts in the field. Respected experts like Lt. Col. Dave Grossman who discusses at length in his presentations and books, the effects of sleep—especially sleep deprivation.
Occupational Hazard?
Why is sleep deprivation an issue for police? Because, just like the military, police have unpredictable, changeable, sporadic work and sleep patterns. Police often routinely "double back" from their regular work shifts—for court, overtime (double and even triple shifts), and for SWAT with callups at any hour of the day or night.
Like the military, police are very familiar with what it means to "sleep fast" – sleeping whenever they get the chance. Firefighting is another profession with unpredictable, sporadic work and sleep patterns, but with a very different view toward sleep.
Firefighters are "institutionally smarter" than military and police. By "smarter" I mean firefighters are not only authorized to "sleep on duty," but even have beds provided for them. In stark contrast, police are put up on charges for "sleeping on duty," and in the military they are court marshaled for "sleeping on post."
On-Duty Disasters
Studies show that sleep deprivation contributes to work-related mistakes and accidents, including possibly two recent fatal traffic accidents. A Midwest security guard on his way home after working his first overnight shift apparently fell asleep at the wheel, striking a vehicle and killing its driver.
A West Coast sheriff deputy's cruiser struck and killed two bicyclists, and injured two others. The accident, which occurred at 10:30am, may have been the result of the deputy falling asleep at the wheel—after working a 12+ hour shift the day before.
Both cases are under investigation. These are only two of the many actual and near-miss incidents where sleep deprivation may be a factor.
Sleep Debt
While sleep deprivation is a growing concern for law enforcement, there is a light at the end of the sleepless tunnel. That light is getting the recommended 7 to 8 hours of sleep every day. However, for police, this is often far easier than done, given the unpredictability of the job. The result is "sleep debt." The good news, according to Dave Grossman, is we can pay off "sleep debt" by "catching up" on lost sleep. Also, a cat nap of at least 30 minutes is helpful, although not a substitute for enough sleep.
Now, I'm not advocating sleeping or napping on duty. Not only will it get you put up on charges, but it's also dangerous (since you're vulnerable to anyone intending you harm). Instead, what I'm advocating is, no matter how demanding your work, family obligations and hours are, strive to get enough sleep every possible day. And when this isn't possible, when you do get the opportunity, catch up on your sleep, to eliminate or reduce your "sleep debt."
This is especially true for SWAT, where you are subject to Callups 24/7. "Murphy" (as in Murphy's Law) is fond of late-night, early morning Callouts, especially right after you've finally fallen asleep. How many of you have awakened from a dead sleep at 3 a.m., shaking cobwebs from your brains? Then, minutes later, you're headed to a life and death situation.
When the Callup ends, it's time to work your regular shift, handling a number of high-risk warrants, often working overtime. By this time, you're beyond ready for some much-needed sleep. So, you finally fall into bed and into immediate deep sleep only to be awakened at 3 a.m. by your pager because you have another SWAT Callout. Now you wish you had gone to bed as soon as you'd gotten home, but instead you chose to "unwind" by watching your favorite TV show.
Catching Up
This may not happen every day, but you get the picture. Police work "crazy" hours. They are going to work when most people are going home, working when most people are home.
However, as Dave Grossman points out, there's good news. You can still get enough rest if you get 7 to 8 hours of sleep each day on a regular basis. When this isn't possible, the next best thing is to catch up on your sleep to reduce or eliminate your "sleep debt."
And remind yourself that once in awhile, under the right circumstances, it's OK to take a little "cat nap" (as long as it's at least 30 minutes).
Medical experts are proving the importance of sleep when it comes to proper performance, especially for police and military. However, when it comes to sleep, the best advice of all may be what the military has been telling us for many years: "sleep fast." Because the life you save just may be your own.

That is why "siestas" are still used by us latinos. Granted, there are not as many or as frequent, but they are still going. What about the sea lions, walruses and sea elephants? They let one on guard until it falls asleep. As this guard collapses for need to sleep, it falls on top of another, awakening him and this is the new guard. Sounds funny? Remember, our acts are going to be put through a microscope by really awake prosecutors and juries. Think about that!

I go almost religiously without enough sleep, out till early dawn and then up at first light, seems like all I ever do is work. I love what I do and that seems to be my motivation. even my wife ask how I do it. truth is I don't really know how. I just do it. There are no tricks to it that I know of but 2-3 hrs deep sleep always seems to be enough for me. I read that 7-8 hrs is good I don't remember the last time that has happened. I only drink 1-2 ice coffees a day and the rest of my drinks are water, 4-6 bottles a day min. I was an MP and even the guys I served with always asked when do I stop and I always responded with when my head hits the pillow. self motivated not self medicated.

I have often said to my buddies at work "How many cops riding around right now, all over the U.S., are exhausted?" I know myself, that I have worked some horrible shifts just to make enough money for my family. If police officers were paid what they should be, then maybe we wouldn't have to work so many hours. Our lives depend on our alertness.

How many people are trained by fear to produce moral behavior instead of growing in grace? Fear is a powerful motivator. The most powerful, but not the most productive.
"Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven" – Luke 6:37 ESV.
Many say that if you hold a grudge you will go to Hell based on this verse others believe in a karma-type system that insists that if a person acts a certain way then the forces of the universe set in motion a series of events to make sure a person gets a taste of their own medicine.
Then there are the "weeping teeth" passages. I like to call them that anyway.
"When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth." – Matthew 8:10-12 KJV.
"So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth." – Matthew 22:10-13 KJV
"But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth." – Matthew 24:48-51 KJV
"And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:" – Matthew 25:30-31 KJV
"Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them, but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps. As the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept. But at midnight there was a cry, 'Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.' Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.' But the wise answered, saying, 'Since there will not be enough for us and for you, go rather to the dealers and buy for yourselves.' And while they were going to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut. Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, 'Lord, lord, open to us.' But he answered, 'Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.' Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour." – Matthew 25:1-13 ESV
"Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." – Matthew 7:22-23 KJV
Knowing Jesus is the Issue
Some look at these verses and say, 'See! God casts his servants into outer darkness if they do not do the right things.' But the point is missed entirely. These aren't salvation passages so much as damnation passages.
Behavior isn't the issue when it comes to salvation. Knowing Jesus is the issue. Knowing Jesus gives us a white garment. Knowing Jesus fills our lamps with oil. Knowing Jesus is the difference between "doing many wonderful works" in God's name and being a wonderful work that God has produced.Knowing Jesus gives us a white garment. Knowing Jesus fills our lamps with oil. Click To Tweet
God never uses a fear that has torment to motivate change — never, ever. If we have never experienced forgiveness, then we can't forgive and forgiveness is cut off from us. If we try to dress ourselves for the feast, then we have a deep problem because we haven't made a true transaction with God.
Forgiving isn't how we get forgiveness. Seeking oil isn't how we get oil for our lanterns. Not lusting, not lying, being diligent — these things don't impress God. Our righteousness is filthy to God. Rags used to contain a mess are just dirty rags.
"On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, 'If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, 'Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.' Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified." – John 7:37-39 ESV
The Power of the Spirit
All of the "weeping teeth" passages were given to people who could not yet experience the Spirit because He had not been given yet. They would. Jesus didn't lose anyone.
So if anyone tries to scare you into being better and claims that God is behind it don't believe them. If you use that tactic on yourself, knock it off. It isn't the Gospel. No one has ever been transformed by fear. True change has only ever come by awe and love.
Turn to Jesus and you will turn away from everything else also. It might take time for the ugly things to drop away, but they will.
"For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ," – Titus 2:11-13 ESV
Grace will change us into the new person God has made us to be. Our effort only gets in the way.
This morning I see Jesus and my lamp is suddenly filled with oil. Just like the water was turned to wine. Just like the oil that is produced in the olive tree's olives.
"The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. … But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires." – Romans 13:12, 14 ESV
I see the righteousness He has given me and I put the armor on as if it is a wedding garments. It all comes from God. It is free of charge.

I only got four because that was all the had. A guy I know purchased over a 1000 rounds at one in a little town about 40 miles south of Fort Worth, Dallas the other day. They must have just got a big shipment in.

With over 50 million pounds of toothbrushes being thrown into US landfills a year and tons of unnecessary chemicals added into your everyday toothpastes and mouthwash, there has to be a more sustainable and eco-friendly way to experience great oral hygiene. Well, we are in luck! Lots of great brands have done their part to make this world a little less wasteful and toxic, and offer us some wonderful products which are good for our health AND the planet. If you are new in your sustainable journey beginning with how you care for your teeth is the easiest start!
1. Bamboo Toothbrush by Mable
First, you need to start with the toothbrush. I think most of us can agree, the plastic has got to go - bamboo is where it's at! Not only are Mable's {self-standing} bamboo toothbrushes biodegradable & chic, they give back to our communities, too. For every toothbrush purchased, one is given to a U.S. child. Through their BUY GIVE TEACH program, Mable travels to schools to educate kids on sustainable choices, personal health and conscious products. They are passionate about bringing environmental awareness to a new generation of consumers. A toothbrush which supports sustainability education, has a little carbon footprint and cleans my teeth well is a winner in my book :D If you need to make the switch, I highly recommend saying 'yes' to bamboo & choosing Mable!
2. Natural Toothpowder by Ashley Asti
My go-to tooth'paste' this year has been Ashley Asti's Tea Tree & Clay Toothpowder. I never thought a powder could make my mouth feel so refreshed! The essential oils help clean, protect and whiten your teeth. Plus, $.50 of every sale are donated to Woodstock Farm Sanctuary, a nonprofit shelter in New York for farm animals rescued from neglect, abuse, and abandonment.
{also, I don't always use a cleaner when brushing my teeth : according my dental hygienist friend, it isn't necessary - we just like it! so, if you're out or forgot some on your trip, no worries!}
3. DIY Toothpaste by Leotie Lovely
Haven't fallen in love with an eco-toothpaste, yet? My good blogger friend Holly of Leotie Lovely created a post & vlog a few months back on how to make your own eco toothpaste in 5 minutes flat. It's an old family recipe, and incredibly easy to make! Make sure to follow her blog daily as she is constantly coming out with new sustainable tips & tricks to make living eco a little easier for us all.
4. Vegan Floss by RADIUS
I have to admit.. I am the worst flosser. It is just one of those things I forget to do... I need to be better. I have rolls of old floss which need to be used, but once I'm in the market for new floss this vegan floss is my next purchase! {click photo to purchase} The floss is 100% VEGAN, Leaping Bunny & Cruelty Free Certified, and comes in a recyclable container.
5. High End Mouthwash by Oral Essentials
Now I know mouthwash isn't necessary, but if it adds great value to your life then go for it. I love a good mouthwash every once in a while, and this one is on my radar. {click photo to purchase} If you are needing to wash away those coffee stains, the Oral Essentials Mouthwash is great at whitening teeth {so I've read!}. If you purchase it, let me know how you like it!
Here's to many happy & healthy smiles!

This is a very eye-opening book. I have a few Scripture verses that I pray pretty often, but the concept of praying SO much Scripture is new to me! The opening chapter begins with Kathi being very real about how hard it is to spend time in prayer. She offers great encouragement to just pray… just for one minute. It will grow into time you cherish as you make the time, and be consistent. She offers practical advice, like setting a time, having a specific place, and having "stuff" to get you going (Bible, a good devotional book, a journal, pen, etc.)
The second part of the book is broken down into categories of our lives – different problems and issues we face. She begins a chapter with a very real experience from her life, or a story from someone else's life. Then she gives many examples of Scriptures and example prayers to pray from those verses. Some example categories are : 1. When You're Overwhelmed, 2. Your Marriage, and 3. When You're Despairing. This will be a great resource in the years to come when I am needing strength in a certain area. She has done a lot of work, having several Scripture passages for each subject.
This is a great resource for anyone who wants to grow in the area of prayer!
I received the book free from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

On top of my transformation into my mother, I seem to have performed some weird Vulcan Mind Meld between myself and my grandma. And though I love my grandma, I don't necessarily need to have the same outlook on life as she does.
Case in point: HBL and I were driving home from my dad's house this evening, listening to the radio. I became irritated. "What kind of song is this? What in the world are they playing on the radio these days?" I said. He laughed and shrugged his shoulders. Is it just me, or do they let anyone write music these days?
I know, I know. How dare I get on my high horse! Look, I'm a product of the 80s and 90s; I sang along to the lyrics of Digital Underground's "Humpty Dance". Hello? R. KELLY? Ppppfffttt!
Yes, yes, yes, it's no different now than it was back then. But I'm older now. That means I'm actually thinking about what I'm listening too. That's not crotchety, is it? More like "choosy", right?
What's in store for you this Top Ten Tuesday? Evidence of my downward shame spiral. Enjoy!
My Top Ten Pet-Peeves
(That Me and Grandma Most Likely Share)
- Bad music
- People who don't do their job
- People who insist on blasting their radios with their windows down, at a stoplight
- Teens who hang out at the mall and think that screaming at the top of their lungs is the right volume for general conversation
- Girls who insist on wearing enough makeup to shame a drag queen
- Girls who wear dresses/skirts and sit with their legs wide open
- People who cut in line
- Waiting. For anything.
- That 'Politeness' is almost non-existant
- People who don't listen to me
I love memes. They take the pressure off my foggy brain so I don't go cross-eyed thinking about a blog topic. Wait, you too? WE'RE TWINS! Well then, why not take a break and play Top Ten Tuesday? Grab the button on my right hand sidebar, choose your Top Ten topic (or use mine!), post it on your blog, and let me know so I can come check it out!
Happy Tuesday relaxing!

London Fashion weekend gives the press and public an intimate look at the London Fashion week event. Not only are there amazing designer and trend catwalk shows, but you have access to designer retailers on the day with goods at amazing discounted prices. You can also get involved with the stylists of the show which this year for make up was Maybelline and hair by Toni & Guy. The venue this year was the Saatchi Gallery, a beautiful location. Everything was beautifully laid out and very accessible. With 4 floors to explore you were spoiled for choice with fashion and beauty to look at and if you needed a rest a fab champagne bar or coffee shop.
My best friend Marty and I got Gold Tickets this year which gave us access to a designer catwalk show , a trend catwalk show and a designer filled tote bag! (Who doesn't love freebies!). We couldn't wait to get inside and have a look and see what London Fashion Weekend was all about. We went in and had a look around the ground floor shopping areas. There were lots of different designer outlets selling clothing, accessories, shoes, make-up and hair products. It was a lovely shopping experience being able to get your hands on so many different designer goods all in the one place. Designers such as Dolce and Gabbana, Michael Kors, Armani, Vivienne Westwood, Barbour and Burberry just to name a few. A pure blissful shopping experience with amazing prices. The second floor had a coffee shop, champagne bar, the catwalk space and some amazing accessories retailers . On the third floor there were shoes and more accessories, the swatch watch shop and British fashion awards information and sign up booth.
The first show we went to was the Trend show. It was split into four sections Americana - Bold stars and stripes motifs were a dominant feature on many of the spring catwalks. Beautiful Botanicals - The ever-lovely floral motif is back in a big way for spring, with many designers featuring prints that wouldn't look out of place in an English country garden. Pop Art Bright's - This painterly trend will make the season fizz with colour. Bold head-to-toe colour. New Romance - Embracing your inner romance with spring's most refined trend. Runways were awash with delicate, feminine looks. A truly amazing collection of designers including Marc Jacobs, J Brand, McQ Alexander McQueen, Carven and See by Chloé as well high street delights such as Karen Millen and Reiss. Shop straight from the catwalk.
The second show was the designer catwalk show. We choose to see Mary Katrantzou collection. The show took my breath away. Katrantzou works with digital print, textures and unique designs. The pieces had such movement with amazing embellishments catching the light, that even structured tailored pieces had fluidity on the runway.
A truly amazing day and even better I got to spend it with my best friend. The next blog post will be my London Fashion Weekend Haul!! Watch out it will be such an awesome Haul Post!
Lots of love
Purple Poodle (and Marty)

(4 out of 5 stars)
"In the absence of any intelligible listener reviews (such as the well written entry by BluesDuke below) I usually defer to Amazon's editorial reviews for guidance on unfamiliar music. As I am well familiar with the music on this disc I find Mr. Greilsamer's comments to be pretty far off the mark. What he dismisses as "enjoyable but dispensible noodling" I have for almost the last three decades considered to be some of the finest electric blues guitar playing I have ever heard. Indispensible. Opinions in music vary widely to be sure but to provide a more founded perspective than the editor who either listened to this disc only once or has no real insight into the music he's reviewing I have been studying guitar for 30 years and have found Mike Bloomfield's playing on this disc to be some of the finest I have ever heard, unqualified. In attempting to learn the craft of blues guitar improvisation I have learned more from "Albert's Shuffle" and "Really" than most all other albums combined. From what I have derived over the years, many other listeners and guitar players alike share this opinion. I'm a little concerned when I read supposedly authoritative reviews by people who have no more than a superficial knowledge of the genre and the music they are panning."

Who is PewDiePie, what's the YouTube star's net worth and how has Felix Kjellberg responded to the Logan Paul suicide video scandal?
With millions of subscribers worldwide, Felix Kjellberg is Sweden's biggest export since ABBA
THERE'S a reason Felix Kjellberg is known as the king of YouTube.
The Swedish video game commentator, web-based comedian and video producer is better known as PewDiePie and is no stranger to controversy.
He has over 52 million fans making him the number one subscribed person on the channel for his Let's Play commentaries.
His channel has received over 13 billion video views and he was named one of "The World's 100 Most Influential People" by Time magazine.
But he is not without controversy.
In September he was at the centre of a firestorm after using the racial slur "n*****" in one of his videos AGAIN.
He had previously found himself at the centre of a racism row when he appeared to use the word "n*****" in a video watched by 2.7 million people.
The Swede sparked an antisemitism storm after he paid two men to unravel a banner bearing the message "Death to all Jews" in a video that has been watched by 6.6m people.
It resulted in him being dropped by Disney, and the shocking video also led to his reality show being cancelled by YouTube, who dropped him from its premium advertising channel.
PewDiePie has issued a passionate and emotional response to the claims of antisemitism, appearing to choke back tears as he spoke out against the backlash.
His fans have targeted the American journalist and hacked his Twitter account in revenge for the perceived attacks on the much loved YouTuber's reputation.
A tweet was also retweeted from the star's YouTube account which featured a hashtag containing the same racial slur, provoking an explosion of criticism on social media.
What does Felix Kjellberg make videos about?
His "bros" and the collective "Bro Army" wouldn't exactly call him quiet.
Felix is known for his quirky videos and enthusiasm – read: shouting and screaming.
He plays indie games, makes cheeky remarks and is very loose lipped.
How many subscribers does PewDiePie have?
As well as 48 million subscribers on YouTube, he has 8.8 million Twitter followers, 10 million Instagram followers and a website where fans can buy official merchandise.
Felix was born in 1989 in Gothenburg, Sweden and graduated from university with a degree in Industrial Economics and Technology Management, but in 2013, he had the most subscribed YouTube channel.
He currently lives in Brighton with his Italian fashion and beauty vlogger girlfriend Marzia Bisognin with their two pugs, Maya and Edgar.
The couple, who have been together since 2011, were introduced over the internet and have been referred to as 'YouTube's biggest power couple'.
What is PewDiePie worth?
His total net worth is unclear.
But his yearly income from his YouTube channel is staggeringly high considering his low overheads.
According to Forbes' most recent ranking of YouTube stars, he was raking in $15million annually or £11m.
Why has PewDiePie been dropped by Disney?
Disney announced it would be severing links with the Swede over several controversial videos he had released.
Some of the videos contained references to Nazis and were found to be anti-Semitic.
Among them was one clip in which he paid two Indian nationals to hold a sign saying: "Death to all Jews."
A statement from Disney subsidiary Maker Studios read: "Although Felix has created a following by being provocative and irreverent, he clearly went too far in this case and the resulting videos are inappropriate."
How has Felix Kjellberg responded to the Logan Paul suicide video scandal?
Kjellberg branded fellow YouTuber Logan Paul a "straight up sociopath" in response to his "suicide forest" video.
In a scathing clip, the Swedish star, 28, slammed his rival over Paul's controversial video showing a dead man hanging from a tree in a forest in Japan.
Kjellberg said he always knew the 22-year-old American was a "jackass" and claimed he was not surprised by the gaffe.
He said: "Logan, he's a straight up sociopath. You know when you're doing those daily vlog videos and you're always looking for the next big thing just dangling in front of you.
"What's going to draw in more people to the channel 'me filming a dead body' (and) not even hesitating."
What other work has Felix done?
It's not all about sitting behind his computer screen.
With the help of his fanbase, 26-year-old Felix has raised over £758,000 for various charities.
In 2015, PewDiePie released his own video game PewDiePie: Legend of the Brofist on iOS and Android.
That same year he released a parody self-help book called This Book Loves You and was announced as a voice actor in the Vimeo fantasy series, Oscar's Hotel for Fantastical Creatures.

Heavy metals are soluble in hot high pressure water. So the river of geothermal water running over the earth's mantle is full of metal dust.
As is water rises to the surface, the pressure drops and heavy metals precipitate. So all ore deposits were left behind by a scathing geothermal water.
There is no reason to leave this to nature. We can drill down to the geothermal water: geographers have helpfully published the maps on the Internet(I think).
In places we only need to drill down 10 metres to go to the geothermal water. We pass this water through a vent valve, then a double helical flow investor (a Dyson dry cleaner) to extract the heavy metals.
Then we pass the clean steam through a steam turbine. And generate power before the steam vents to the air. We are best use in this idea off shore. ½ mile into the sea.
We send the power along a cable. And transport the metal dust to a metals processor at regular intervals. To turn into ingots.
We will get gold, platinum, silver, copper, titanium and iron. Gold is actually a very common metal we geothermal mining. Not going to do a lot the gold price!

Re: Towards a unified Aïkido ?
Ted i think you have it backward as i understand it Tohei wanted to "add" all kinds of ki exercises and remove certain waza (which is what has happened in ki society)... we do the hop when appropriate and it is apporpriate when done...;-P
Clark, right on about politics and human nature... i just hoped aikidoka were a little more evolved... i used the US as an illustration not as a model
Mary i am NOT suggesting a standard curriculum that all MUST adopt, but rather an agreed core that can be added to but not abridged... Takemusu Aiki... don't we all do ikkyo?
Lyle as a poor ronin aikidoka i do NOT want to pay more dues, but i believe there should be some control of WHO gets to claim the authority to teach aikido
James i see your point but is fraud a constitutional right... It is illegal to claim to be a lawyer or a doctor(medical) or law officer if you are not... there are limits to freedom of speech...
Michael these questions have not taken care of themselves in the years since the split... and the saying about evil triumphing when good men do nothing jumps to mind... aikido is about fighting and training and that happens on and off the mat and is both physical and spiritual... do we allow the spirit to be tarnished because we don't care or think it is too diffucult(impossible seems to be the general consensus!)
I agree that there is only one aikido with many ways of teaching and approaching it...prospective students should do research, but what authority is there to appeal to for information?
I hereby proclaim myself 11th dan of the unified aikido movement (trademarked!) you are all under my jurisdiction now and will be assimilated... resistance is futile...;-))

Auxiliary Bishop John J. Dougherty, a priest for 52 years, a pioneer of Roman Catholic television and former president of Seton Hall University, is dead at the age of 78.
Bishop Dougherty slipped into a coma and died Thursday night at Holy Name Hospital in Teaneck.
He suffered a stroke in 1980 and a series of other illnesses since then.
Bishop Dougherty, a Jersey City native, was ordained a priest of the Newark, N.J., archdiocese in 1933. He served as a seminary professor, president of Seton Hall from 1959 to 1969 and as an auxiliary bishop and church pastor. He also was well known as host of a nationwide radio and television show, The Catholic Hour, beginning in 1946.
He was consecrated a bishop in 1963. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Bishop Dougherty again attracted national attention, this time for his vocal opposition to the war in Vietnam.

Once June rolls around, Ja Rule will begin serving his prison sentence for having a loaded gun in his car.
The judge in the case set Ja's sentencing date for June 8 — where he will get two years in the big house stemming from a traffic stop back in 2007 … when cops found a loaded semi-automatic gun in his sports car — the same exact day Lil Wayne got bumped following a concert performance in New York for his pistol which he already did his time for.
Ja Rule pled guilty to attempted criminal possession of a weapon back in December — and agreed to serve two years for the offense.
