Often times, I'm always inspired by the photos that I snapped & printed out for my layout. For this particular photo, my daughter was asked to be a flower girl for my brother-in-law's wedding & we were happy for her. She's such a girly girl and she has witnessed a few weddings herself.
So with that in mind, I started to look for flower patterned paper in the Susie kit. I'm a huge fan of flowers and thrilled that Felicity Kit has flower patterned papers each month! Yes, you heard me right! I also love the black & white bold stripes at the back of the flower patterned paper & decided to include that onto my layout as well. The bride & groom were wearing black & white and with that it matched the bill. Floral + stripes are such awesome combo.
Next, I added the doilies onto the layout. That was certainly inspired by the bride's beautiful dress that has lace patterns at the shoulder. And completed the layout with a lil stamping for my journaling, pretty details & a title.
Thank you for letting me share today!

This week's Booking Through Thursday question was suggested by Mariel: Book Gluttony! Are your eyes bigger than your book belly? Do you have a habit of buying up books far quicker than you could possibly read them? Have you had to curb your book buying habits until you can catch up with yourself? Or are you a controlled buyer, only purchasing books when you have run out of things to read?
Of course I have a stack of books waiting to be read. Still, most of these books I didn't buy. I may have swapped them, or borrowed them, or received them as review copies. If I actually bought them, most likely they pertain to my primary long-term reading challenge. I don't know that I actually wait until I've run out of things to read before buying more. However, I don't spend much money at all on books, so it's hard for me to call my book-buying actions gluttony.
What about you? Could your book-buying habits be called a deadly sin?

No Easy Way Out is an achievement in Halo 4[1] and Halo: The Master Chief Collection. It is obtained by surviving all enemy waves during the defense in Chapter 1, Episode 5 of Spartan Ops on Normal or harder.
- After defending the sensors do not activate the generators you must kill all remaining Prometheans until the achievement is awarded.
- Dying is irrelevant. Surviving means eliminating all enemies.
- Must actually be achieved on Heroic and not just Normal


text: In leading the Houston Rockets to a big road win in New York last night, James Harden scored 16 of his 36 points from the charity stripe. An incensed Carmelo Anthony (no slouch himself with 45 points in the losing cause) complained about not getting the same treatment as Harden from the refs. Per the AP: "Asked if it was tough that the Knicks sent Harden to the line often when they got close, Anthony replied, 'We didn't put him on the line, they put him on the line.' Harden led the NBA in free throw attempts last season and is third this season. He was 16 of 18 Thursday, while Anthony, his teammate on the 2012 U.S. Olympic team, was 9 for 11. 'You look at that, you see the way that some guys get their calls,' Anthony said, 'and for me, I've got to get cut, you've got to see blood for me to get a call down there. So that's where the frustration comes from.'"

It has been said that nobody reads anymore. Of course, each successive generation since the time of Plato and Aristotle has been branded lazy and unintelligent by the one that preceded it. But if you look at the reality of the situation, perhaps things are not as dire as they seem. According to a study reported by The Atlantic, "[s]ome 88 percent of Americans younger than 30 said they read a book in the past year compared with 79 percent of those older than 30" and "high school and college-aged people reported reading more than survey respondents in their late twenties." This is encouraging, isn't it? The idea that literacy is not dying and that in truth casual readership is on the rise? It certainly seems so.
One of the biggest questions I get asked when I'm promoting a book or talking about my experiences as a writer in general is why I self-publish. Have I tried to submit to a major publisher? If it isn't good enough for a major publisher, why would anyone want to read it? All manner of questions that, while frustrating, are valid.
As an author, I have submitted far more pieces for publication than have seen the light of day. The world of publishing is, honestly, a relentless thunderstorm of noise and confusion. Something that I feel has value may not fit the vision of a particular publisher. A publication house has to think about their audience and their finances and the truth is even if reading as a common pass-time did drop to an all-time low, there would be no shortage of hungry, eager writers looking to see their work published.
As of late, I have adopted a DIY attitude toward publication because as the cultural landscape changes and we see an increase in younger people reading, the importance of big publishers does seem diminished. Big publishers care about their bottom line. That means telling and selling stories that will find the broadest audience so that no money is lost. But, and I know I'm getting older and I can't claim to be part of the "younger generation" much anymore, young readers want to read stories that are unconventional. Stories that big publishers might not want to take a risk on.
That's why I wrote Madeline McCallister. That's why I wrote a series about a bi-sexual female protagonist whose main ally is a black British agent who rejected his affluent upbringing to forge his own identity. That may not seem bold or groundbreaking, but it is a turnoff for some publishers. And the fact that it is even part of the conversation is why I put the work out into the world on my own, unfiltered by any mandate other than my own.
In the past, writers had to trade their vision and their control of their work in exchange for an audience. That was the power publication houses dealt in. Now, that isn't precisely the case any longer.
For example, I have a few friends who work in the comic book industry. That world is so much bigger than Marvel and DC in terms of where stories are being told and what type of books are being produced. I look at what people like Isaiah Broussard and Jessi Jordan are doing and wonder why that same determined, boots-on-the-ground approach cannot work in the realm of literature the way that it does in comics. I understand that they are two different monsters, but in the age of social media and digital content, perhaps the differences aren't as vast as they may once have seemed. Unfettered creative control that leads to genuine, interesting media in turn will find an audience. At least in theory.
So, in the interest of being clear, I want to assure people that I stand by the quality of my work. In fact, I would say that the DIY approach that births the projects published under my own banner allows me to take full responsibility for what I produce. That allows me to engage with my readers in a way some other writers are simply not able to. Maybe it is my affinity for the old punk rock mindset, but I take pride in my process. Does that mean I do not have designs on seeing my work distributed by a major publisher? No. I'm not against major publishers. I just want to combat the preconceived notion that self-publication should be dismissed as amateur hour.
As I gear up to begin promotional work on Too Close To Kill, part of that mission is also to educate people on the wonderful work being produced by other skilled writers like myself who are consistently producing excellent work that finds itself overlooked in the marketplace. Small and independent press are where some of the strongest and freshest literature in the modern world is being produced.
At this point, I simply want to raise enough money to convince Jeff Goldblum to record himself saying "literature finds a way."
That would make it all worth it, don't you think?

Not sleepy at all, just very busy, but thanks for your patience.
I've never seen this problem before, but it sounds like Outlook is having trouble reading from the .PST file.
A few questions:
1. Was the .PST created in Outlook 2010, or an earlier version?
2. What is the exact path to the .PST location?
3. Have you tried installing Outlook, reinstalling it and re-connecting to the .PST?
Something to try first:
1. Open Outlook, click File, then go to Options, then go to Search, and then select Indexing Options...
2. Click on Microsoft Outlook, then Click Advanced
3. Click Rebuild to re-index the .PST

Hello Golden ..
Thanks for your Support .. and it take ages to get an answer ..
1. Was the .PST created in Outlook 2010, or an earlier version?
Yes created in Outlook 2007
2. What is the exact path to the .PST location?
Over Network on the Server
3. Have you tried installing Outlook, reinstalling it and re-connecting to the .PST?
Yes ..
But why you are asking those Questions .. those Questions and the Something to try Related to the blank emails problem or the .PST Conflict Problem ??
Why i have to Index step ?? what the point from it ??
|My System Specs
|07 Mar 2012
It takes ages because we are all volunteers here - we try our best to answer queries as soon as we can.
I suggested the index because I thought it may help solve the .PST issue. However, since the .PST is located on a network, it sounds like that is probably a connectivity issue....I can't be sure since I have no idea how reliable the network is.
The only other thing I can suggest is to check for and repair .PST corruptions:
Repair Outlook Data Files (.pst and .ost) - Outlook - Office.com
|My System Specs
|07 Mar 2012
I know you all busy .. and i appreciate your concern ..
i did the repair step .. but nothing work ..i will try the Index one and i will give you the feedback...
but what does the PST file has to do if it been created in outlook 2007 not 2010 ??
|My System Specs
|07 Mar 2012
Windows 10 Pro x64 x3, Ubuntu
Is this a large PST?, Outlook relies on reading the whole file to present the data, I have seen this problem with remote PST files where connectivity was an issue. If you move the file to local storage, does the issue remain? The way I have solved similar issues ids the basic one of reducing the PST size by archiving to a local file, which also circumvents possible network quota limits

I had the similar issue that emails were downloaded blank. No header, no body no subject - nothing but a date and time in the inbox.
Tried everything on the net to solve this. fixed .pst tweaked all settings, repaired Outlook install -on and on
After 5 days of grief trying to figure it out, it turns out that I got a clue from testing Thunderbird email. After I originally installed that, it worked fine, (Opera mail did not when I installed that) After a short while, Thunderbird too showed the same symptoms. This led me to investigate the antivirus I had installed. (McaFee internet suite) I had already deactivated the email scanning both from the email clients and from within the Mcafee control panel. No success. (you would assume deliberately turning off a feature would actually turn it off but not so)
Only after I completely uninstalled Mcafee and you must use BOTH windows uninstall first and then their own downloadable uninstall tool to completely remove this pestiferous program. McAfee Removal Tool - Uninstall McAfee
I opted to install Avast free version and everything seems to be operational now.
This was an extremely aggravating problem that cost me a lot of time so I hope my sad tale helps somebody.
Good luck with this one.

ON AIR - Night Time Network
The Kingdom reigned in the early semi-final in Croke Park.
Kerry booked a spot in the Allianz Football League final with a commanding display leading from the outset.
The final score was Kerry 3-15 Roscommon 0-14
The old cliché goes that 'goals win games' and it proved to be the case here.
Kerry hit the net three times in ten devastating minutes before half time to make the second half an academic exersize.
Roscommon for their part responded well in the second half, hitting nine points, but is wass certainly too little too late.
Kerry March on.

I called the Roadside Assistance number to see how it works.
I had to go through about three different menu trees, plus listen to "May be monitored or recorded" and greetings in Spanish. I wouldn't want to go through that at the edge of a busy highway.
It would be good to have one number just for initiating roadside assistance. I know, unlikely to happen.
BTW, after you call 1-877-NOGASEV (1-877-664-2738) press 1 and then press 1. They require your VIN. I'm putting that info on a card in the car.

Another Shining Inheritance / Brilliant Legacy (찬란한 요산) wallpaper. I got the DVD over Christmas and fell in love with the show multiple times over again, so this was begging to be made.
I liked this picture that came with the DVD set because Eun-sung and Hwan just look like there lost in their own world together - like nothing matters but each other at that moment.
The lyrics I added just for some extra oomph and because Korean script looks really cool. The song the lyrics are from is 1:03 by 넬 Nell, a Korean alt-rock band. They go:
일초가 일분처럼 또 하루가 일년처럼
ilchoga ilbuncheoreom tto haruga ilnyeoncheoreom
A second like a minute, a day like a year
길게만 느껴지네요
gilgeman neukkyeojineyo
It feels so long
잊혀질 것 같았던 너의 기억은 시간이
ihyeojil geot gatatdeon neoui hieogeun sigani
Memories of you that I thought I could forget
갈 수록 선명해져서 이젠 손에 잡힐 듯 해요
gal surok seonmyeonghaejyeoseo ijen sone japhil deut haeyo
Become clearer with time; now it feels like I can grasp them with my hands
(If you want to listen to/see the entire song, click this link)
Hope you enjoy ^-^

Over the weekend when we opened Lucie's gifts I nearly forgot this toadstool outfit that I'd purchased way back in January for her Bamboletta doll. The outfit is made by Jane of Little Seedlings and is modeled after her son's Halloween costume. Her craftsmanship is amazing as usual.
Now I just need to head over to our local children's bookshop, Bookbug and see if they have a copy of Children of the Forest. Can I just be honest here and say that being able to buy stuff like this is really the reason I had kids?

Bang! Pow! Zap! It's a Batman Transmog Plate Set! This superhero mog set is created with a couple of cool black plate items. Can you imagine it is actually hard to find those pure black items in the game? We've seen various Batman versions out there that combine leather, mail and plate, but then you would not be able to wear it all the time.
Armor Type: Plate
Max Level Req.: 80
Availability: Warrior/Paladin only
How to get the set:
The Plate Batman set is here! The Batman transmog plate set is not that hard to obtain, the belt and chest are the 2 items you really need to farm. The gauntlets and the leggings can be crafted with blacksmithing.
Items needed for the Batman Transmog Plate Set:
Head – Iron Riveted War Helm
Flame Leviathan drops this BoE helme, it is the second Boss in Ulduar Normal 25. You can also find it on the Auction House for a lot of gold.
Shoulders – Earthslag Shoulders
Drops from Lord Roccor the first Boss in Blackrock Depths a level 53-56 Dungeon.
It has a 21% dropchance If you kill Lord Roccor "at least 40 times" and it doesn't drop, then you are just running into an extremely bad stroke of luck.
Back – Redoubt Cloak
This lootable cloak is looted from the Gordok Tribute chest. The chest spawns when you defea King Gordok and after speaking with Cho'Rush the Observer in Dire Maul North.
A Dire Maul Tribute can be done when you do not kill any of the bosses: Bosses: Guard Mol'dar, Guard Fengus, Guard Slip'kik, or Captain Kromcrush. When you kill the King, the Gordok Tribute chest will contain one item for each boss left alive.

Phil Knight definitely didn't pay for this. Rutgers gets the Dennis Franchione/Texas A&M treatment. Charlie Strong's promotion is far from successful. The fall of Sparty continues.
Dumpster Fires of the Week: Week Six
1. Oregon's free fall
Did you know that Huskies are bird dogs? News to us, but the Washington Huskies feasted on Ducks Saturday – to the tune of 70 points.
If Mark Helfrich's seat was not warm before, it has to be smoldering right now. Lackluster offense, terrible defense, and an inability to recruit and develop a quarterback are a bad look for a former offensive genius.
Lots of questions about what Helfrich can accomplish without Chip Kelly and Marcus Mariota.
2. Rutgers
Rutgers has never really been known as a football power, and the success of the Scarlet Knights' move to the Big Ten is certainly in doubt. However, on Saturday, they joined some rarefied air as a Power 5 that allowed 77 points or more. The last time I can recall a P5 team getting beat that badly was OU's famous 77-0 wipeout of the Dennis Franchione-led Texas A&M Aggies.
Unlike that game, tough, there's an upside for anyone willing to go to the Ann Arbor Ruth's Chris, where patrons are being treated to 50 percent off their food. Thanks, New Jersey Knights.
3. Texas' ongoing slide
Charlie Strong has taken over control of the Longhorn defense, and like Gandalf at the Bridge
of Moria, Big 12 offenses shall not pass! Well, like Gandalf, the UT defense continues to fall down into a dark, bottomless abyss.
Unlike in past years when Strong was able to motivate his team to play its best game of the year in the Cotton Bowl versus OU, UT's defensive failures are apparently mounting with Strong's personal involvement. The Longhorns gave up 45 points despite forcing four turnovers, and the Sooners had their first game ever with a 300 yard passer, a 200-yard rusher and a 200 yard receiver.
We're talking historic levels of failure for Texas.
4. Michigan State's losing streak
Sparty is very close to establishing some kind of new record, going from College Football Playoff participant to a losing record in the span of one year. This week, BYU came into East Lansing and walked out with a double-digit win.
Keep in mind, MSU hasn't played Michigan or Ohio State. Right now, you'd have to think both teams will pound the Spartans badly, giving the Spartans no margin for error the rest of the year.
5. Who will Brian Kelly blame this week?
Notre Dame's terrible season reached perhaps its lowest point with a 10-3 loss to North Carolina State in the middle of a hurricane. The game-winning touchdown came courtesy of a blocked punt that was returned for a score.
The head leprechaun has blamed his now-fired defensive coordinator, his QB and now the rest of his team. So far, Kelly has not directed his ire towards himself.
The ugly way that he is throwing his young players under the bus can't be going unnoticed by recruits and their parents.

MORRIE held his fourth one-man tour from April 1st through May 13th. On April 29th, his musical journey returned to YOKOHAMA O-SITE, the intimate all-seated venue he has always chosen since the first season of SOLITUDE.
MORRIE appeared on the stage with a white electric guitar. Clad in black, he started to sing the first song Last Day in his rich voice and beautiful falsetto. The singer invited fans deep into rapture with the resonating sound of his guitar. Next, MORRIE played Kampeki na sora, a song containing a mix of adoration and hidden irony.
"The world is full of wonders: that the universe exists, and that one's being exists. I will continue to speak of it until you awake to that truth, not by understanding, but by intuition," MORRIE casually spoke to the fans during the performance of Unchained. "Where does a deceased person go after death?" He asked while strumming his guitar. Then, he returned to singing again as if he was projecting his voice to a realm beyond finitude. His final guitar stroke of B flat major symbolized liberation.
MORRIE switched his guitar effector after that song, and he received a new electric guitar from a staff member. "Welcome to Episode 26. The previous episode made me feel as if I was migrating through a purgatory. Are you cold? We can turn off the air conditioning or you can dance to warm yourself up," he said, making the fans laugh. "One day, a person said to me that he could feel a wind blowing when he listened to my music. He understood it well, and I intend for my music to be that way," MORRIE commented about his musical style. Later, he played Goodnight Reverie. The sensation of soft, yet cold wind blowing in the dark night could be felt through the sound of his gentle voice.
After that song, suddenly, he changed the topic to classical music. He spoke about Franz Schubert and one of his masterpieces, Ave Maria. "I do not know all the lyrics," he said, but he started to play an introduction of Ave Maria on his guitar. The venue was filled with a sense of amazement as MORRIE hummed the song's melody. "I got to come to my senses," MORRIE said after the song, setting his foot on the effector switch on the floor. Then, Killing Me Beautiful started to play. His clear high note drew up his mindscape of a dry desert, and it also indicated the presence of his muse.
"SOLITUDE started two years ago. I've come far since the first time. SOLITUDE is kind of like a life's work to me," MORRIE said. He also added that he cut his guitar strings during the show in Kobe. "I rarely cut my guitar strings," he said.
In a later part of the show, MORRIE played covers. First, he covered David Bowie's Space Oddity. The fourth season of SOLITUDE also brought something new: MORRIE covering a Japanese artist. He selected Inoue Yousui's Aozora, Hitorikiri, which was released in 1975. "I used to listen to this song on the radio, and I liked it," he recalled. Lastly, he covered Calling You, which is a famous theme song of the movie "Bagdad Café." MORRIE gently yet passionately sang of the hot, dry wind that brings on anticipation of a sweet release in the future.
During the show, he spoke about different topics, such as the Biwa (Japanese lute), The Tale of Heike, and also about a spiritual experience when he heard the sound of wind bell that no one else could hear. He said the sound of the wind bell eventually ceased. "I was not scared," he added. At the end of the show, he played his new song Hikaru Kouya. With the beautiful sounds of a 12-string guitar, his voice dramatically described a solitary journey of a man running through a field filled with Japanese pampas grass by his horse, and his inevitable end under the crescent moon.
During the encore, MORRIE played DEAD END's Luna Madness. He once again spoke to fans in the middle of the song, telling them he would start creating a new album. Uncharacteristically, he cut his guitar string again, but the small accident made fans feel closer to him. "Thank you for coming today," MORRIE bade the crowd farewell.

Habitat of Lamelligomphus camelus (Hoa Binh Province) : foothill fast flowing and open rocky stream (here surrounded by bushes and rice fields, not forest). This species was abundant here.
Male adults usually settles on rocks in mid-stream. A quite tame creature, easy to get close to.
The caudal appendages look rather gruesome, as they are large compared to the size of the dragonfly.
Note the "camel humps" (slightly hooked forward in lateral view) on S8 and (although the picture is not very sharp) the basodorsal tooth on the superior appendages, both diagnostic features.
For comparison, look at this other male Lamelligomphus photographed at Hoa Binh Province :
Lamelligomphus sp.
Superficially it looks like camelus, but it is not camelus : no pair of hump-like tubercles on S8 and no dorsal tooth on the superior appendages.
Tip of abdomen, lateral.
It is impossible to clinch identification from these 2 photos above. A specimen need to be collected.
In the the key to Chinese Lamelligomphus provided by Wilson & Xu, 2009, the shape of the male's hamuli are important diagnostic features, among others.
The genus Lamelligomphus is very diversified in Chinese territory with 11 species known there (Wilson & Xu, 2009). On the contrary, only two species have been recorded from Vietnam : camelus and biforceps. The male above is not biforceps also, so clearly something unrecorded in the country.
Lamelligomphus camelus is known from eastern, southern and southwest China (Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan), Laos and Vietnam (North and Centre, common species, Dô Manh Cuong pers. comm.).
Many thanks to Dô Manh Cuong for the ID confirmation and the informations about this species

Massachusetts court recognizes in-state same-sex marriages of New Yorkers
[JURIST] Judge Thomas E. Connolly of the Massachusetts Suffolk County Superior Court has ruled [judgment, PDF] that the marriages of more than 170 same-sex couples from New York who married in Massachusetts before the New York Court of Appeals upheld a ban on New York same-sex marriage [JURIST report] on July 6, 2006, are valid because a 1913 Massachusetts statute [text] only forbids the marriage of couples who are "expressly prohibited" from marrying in their home states, AP reported Wednesday. The Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders (GLAD) [advocacy website; press release] welcomed the May 10 ruling, describing it as having "[lifted] a legal cloud from these marriages."
In September of last year, Connolly ruled [opinion, PDF] that Massachusetts must allow same-sex couples from Rhode Island to marry [JURIST report] because Rhode Island did not expressly prohibit same-sex marriages [JURIST news archive]. Massachusetts became the first US state to legalize same-sex marriage [JURIST report] in 2003. In April, New York governor Eliot Spitzer introduced a bill to legalize same-sex marriage in New York [JURIST report]. AP has more.

To Build Up, Not Tear Down: The Value Of Balanced Forgiveness
by Cate Russell-Cole
10/19/2015 / Christian Living
Definition To Forgive: To free fully, relieve, release, dismiss, let die, pardon, divorce, depart, let go, loose, set at liberty.
I always thought that forgiveness was "forgive and forget." Act as if it had never happened, the connotation being that I shouldered the brunt of the pain and offence, sweetly overlooking it while the offender got off scot free. The emphasis was on me being the "good girl," no matter what. Forgiveness never seemed to consider the need for justice or healing, nor was I allowed to say, "hey that hurt and it's not fair!" That would be selfish. I always seemed to be the one to lose, and that never seemed fair to me. I've never seen forgiveness in my family. The attitude has always been pay-back and nothing was ever forgotten, ever. If there was an argument, everything you had ever done wrong was thrown back in your face, even if it had been previously resolved. How long ago the incident took place or how insignificant it was didn't count, it was a permanent mark against your name.
I have always struggled to understand how you let go of pain and injustice. That is what forgiveness, to me, really means. It isn't supposed to be a Christian sacrifice of feelings and rights just because we are supposed to be nice, or well behaved. Forgiveness is letting go of the hurts and wounds of the past, and not allowing yourself to build up hatred or bitterness. It builds bridges in relationships rather than burns them, and teaches us valuable lessons on inner healing. It is not supposed to have a destructive outcome in any way. Forgiveness is simple and powerful, and like many, I have oh, so many problems achieving it! Particularly when the wounds are fresh and they really sting.
I always find it nearly impossible to forgive when I am still caught up in a painful situation. It takes me awhile before I can come to a place within my heart where I can start to let go and forgive. That generally only happens when I have had some breathing space away from the situation, so I can be clear headed enough to be able to see both sides. Often I discover that the person who hurt me didn't do so intentionally, and more often than not, they are hurting in some way themselves. That doesn't make the action excusable, we are all accountable for what we have done to others, however it does make it easier to let go of.
Even if justice or an apology never comes my way, I now know the best thing I can do when hurt is to take charge on my own attitude, and try and let go. The offender is often not affected by our lack of forgiveness, unless we directly attack in return. We are the ones who lay awake at night fretting and hurting, so to let go is to release us, maybe even more than it is to release them.
Forgiving someone is hard work, and one of the greatest lessons I have learned is to be willing to be patient with myself. I now know I can't just magically forgive instantly. I expect too much of myself. But I know I have to forgive, and not let the poison build up in my system. Some people believe that arthritis can be caused by bitterness and unforgiveness. Stress and unhappiness does biologically release toxins into our system, which do damage to the body over a period of time. Compared to the pain of a long term illness, it certainly seems saner and simpler to bite the bullet and forgive!
I know I am not alone in these struggles. Everyone has their "battle wounds," many which have been there for years. The initial lacerations may have healed, but there is still a scar, and every time we look at that part of ourselves, we remember what happened. Some scars fade. Some scars over heal and form ugly ridges. Some still stay tender for years where the surrounding nerves have been damaged. So how do you forgive? How do you just let the past slip away as you walk free?
Like many attitudes, forgiveness is a choice you make independently of any other person or event. You have the choice to either stay angry and plot your revenge (and plotting a confrontation to force your voice to be heard can also be a form of revenge...) or you can make the choice to be grateful for your life and the good that comes out of your relationship with that person. Chalk it down to experience, allow it to make you a stronger, wiser, more compassionate person, and walk away. That also includes a willingness to be accountable for any destructive part you may have played.
What we do all need to understand though, is that forgiveness does NOT mean allowing destructive behaviour to be repeated by blindly turning the other cheek, or using a passive attitude to escape. If you are in a bad situation (such as domestic violence or sexual harassment), get out of it if you are able. If you are being taken advantage of in another way, stand up for yourself! There are times when it is appropriate to draw some boundaries, or even just let people know that what they thoughtlessly said, really hurt. Forgiveness should not allow cruelty and selfishness to have its own way. You can deal with problems with fairness, compassion and positivity. Just try not to let your feelings rule how you handle it.
Unforgiveness eats away at us mentally and emotionally. Over time unforgiven incidents mount up, causing a negative outlook on people and life, and crippling otherwise healthy relationships with bitterness. Letting go is tough, but it is worth it! I don't always have the inner resources to do it, and often I have to ask God for help. He is the safest, most comforting friend I can talk to, and He will help me.

Homes built in the last fifty years were NOT designed to accomodate rain water harvesting. Those adding rain barrels to such a home often discover obstacles and inconveniences to rain barrel use. Manufacturers are busy working on efficient, leakproof ways to get water into the barrels, and handy add-ons for conveniently using our rain water. I've surfed the internet for rain barrel accessories. Below are descriptions of some of the offerings, reasons why you might want one, and links so you can see various products.
Rain barrel and accessories offered at Ace Hardware in Edgewater, Maryland
Downspout diverters: How do you get water in the barrel without causing drainage problems around the house?
Diverters are downspout adaptations that direct rainwater to the barrel. Designing a diverter sounds simple but presents challenges. The device must send water to the barrel but not overflow near the house or clog with leaves or ice. The original concept for rain harvesting called for shortening the exisiting downspout, then installing an elbow. or downspout extension, to carry water to the barrel. This works well on a barrel with a large screened inlet and a properly placed and sized overflow. (Rain water must not leak and pool next to a house foundation.) Before freezing weather, the barrel must be removed and the downspout reinstalled for proper drainage. That seasonal downspout changeover leaves some folks yearning for a maintenance-free alternative.
Next to come along is the "Save the Rain Water Metal Diverter" offered at Rainbarrelsource.com. This device adds a section of downspout with a moveable front flap. The flap is flipped down to send water to your barrel, or flipped up to send water on its normal gutter path. There's no seasonal change other than a flip of the flap, and winter storage of the barrel. A more ambitious device is sold at Aquabarrel.com, and by many other sources. This diverter uses downpout material and a special "splitter" piece to construct a bypass spout. This system stays in place year round and seasonal change is a flip of a lever. Your barrel must have an overflow.
Now there are several versions of "third-generation," high tech diverter. These are somewhat sleek and are permanently installed in the downspout. Water leaves the diverter through a secondary tube and enters the rain barrel. This may allow you more choice in placing your barrel. Some of these units are designed for a sealed barrel system. When the tube is sealed to the barrel, a full barrel and tube causes overflow to occur in the existing downspout.
Rainbarrel.net offers a reservoir diverter with dual outlets for two barrels (and detailed pictures which give a good idea of how the thing works.) Fiskars (and possibly others) makes a permanent in-line diverter which is mounted at the height of the rain barrel. The tube is attached and sealed to the side of the rain barrel. On this diverter, overflow occurs when the barrel water level reaches the tube level. Click here to watch a Youtube video of the Fiskars diverter in action. The rain barrel user in the video seems pleased with the device, but does point out the potential for leakage.
All diverters should be scrutinized after installation for leakage during heavy rain, and clogging with winter ice. Whichever diverter you choose, you must still winterize your rain barrel.
Connectors and spout kits make it easier to make your own barrels, and let you link barrels to add storage capacity
Instructions for making rain barrels from plastic drums often list all the parts for spout assembly. Now kits are sold containing all the parts for a spout. And should one barrel not suffice, you can simply add a second barrel and link it with the first. Buy a linking connector and join your barrels. Place all barrels at the same height.
Pumps: The gravity flow of rain barrels can be annoyingly weak
Rain barrel output pressure is very low. It's fine for filling a watering can, but a sprinkler or hose nozzle won't work unless you boost the pressure. According to Doug Pushard at HarvestH2O, "sizing a pump correctly is not straightforward and installers often fail to make the appropriate calculations." Serious rainwater users will want to read the entire article, and more, at HarvestH2O.com before buying a pump.
Casual backyard gardeners might be satisfied with one of the pumps marketed to the homeowner. A number of companies sell a solar powered water pump for rain barrels. The electric pump sold at Rain Barrels R Us plugs into an outlet and installs easily right onto the barrel's hose bib. This submersible pump is sold for rain barrel use. Wayne Pumps recommends their 1/6 horsepower submersible pump for rain barrel use. Cleanairgardening.com offers a battery powered pump. According to the product description, this pump's utility seems limited.
Rain barrel rated soaker hose or drip irrigation eliminates the need for a pump
Rain barrels use only gravity to force water from the spout. Conventional soaker hoses will not work with a rain barrel. Buy a specially designed, low-pressure rain barrel soaker hose. Rainbarrelman.com shows options in soaker and drip systems that will work when connected to a rain barrel.
Roof washer or first flush device keeps stored water cleaner
Roofs get dirty and rain barrel water held for periods of time can get dirty too. This is of no major concern for the garden but may be unpleasant for the gardener. For household use of rainwater, sanitation becomes important. A roof washer, first flush device, or first flush diversion valve lets the dirtiest rainwater drain off before sending the rest of the rainwater to the barrel. More effective filtration roof washers are recommended for household use of rainwater but not required on a "garden" rain barrel.
Rain barrel stand elevates the barrel and is more attractive than cinder blocks
Rain barrels are raised to create more pressure for the outlet, and height under the spout so you can fill a watering can. Commercial stands are shaped to allow room around the drainspout. They also come in various plastic colors, in case your rain barrel is NOT cinder-block-gray.
Water level gauge
How can you tell how much water is in a solid, opaque barrel? With a gauge like the one sold at Rain Barrels R Us.
Last but not least? A "snuggly" cover to tuck the barrel in for winter
Empty the barrel below the level of any working parts, then cover it for the winter to keep more water from entering.
Your choice
Given the range of stylishness, effectiveness, and cost involved in these accessories, I'm not qualified to recomend any in particular. Nor do I reommend these particular vendors, as I haven't patronized any. Those just planning for a rain barrel now know that more may be needed for a fully functional system. Those already using a rain barrel might be inspired to improve the system by seeing the array of products out there. With the assortment of add-ons out there, any rain barrel installation can be as useful, stylish and cost effective as you'd like it to be.
HarvestH2O.com is the most informative of the sites I found while researching. http://www.harvesth2o.com/about.shtml accessed 7-21-2012

Qena Police Camp to Luxor, 104 km
Riding out of the desert today, we finally found our legs. Made very good time on the approach into Luxor, as the sand dunes subtly gave way to fields of squash and sugar cane.
Arrived in Luxor to the crowds and hustle of another Egyptian city. A police escort over several kilometres eventually spilled us into the Rezeiky Campsite courtyard where we opted for the luxury of a dirty room instead of a dusty tent pitch.
Very aggressive street merchants, not taking no for an answer, ruined a promising walk along the Nile.
I switched to the tour's vegetarian meal plan effective today. It's been too much meat for my system over the past 6 days.

Not So Young Anymore
It was a busy one, that's for sure. We had another wedding this weekend, some friends of ours married off their son. We jumped in and helped them out as much as we could. I took some tools over to their house last Thursday night and we built the decorations for the reception. Then on Saturday while they were all at the reception we helped set up for the after party and had the fires going, the beer iced and the food cooking. This way when the wedding party came back to their house everything was done.
Somewhere in all that I was able to get down to the old farm and cut up about a cord of wood. I had a lot of help form the family so we were able to get it done quicker than I thought.
Even with all the help, that saw got really heavy. My old back is not as young as it once was and all that bending over just about got me. I had to force myself to get out of bed the next morning.
It's always better when my dad brings the loader down. He was able to get the trees in a good location to cut, plus loading the wood is a lot easier. Check out the homemade log splitter in the pic to the right.
That thing is over thirty years old.
Next weekend we need to go back down and split up what is left. There is about another cord to split.
This wood will last us the rest of the winter. I was almost out of wood and the house was cold. My heater just don't heat like it should and needs to be replaced. It just runs and runs burning electricity. I think at best it will get the house up to 58 degrees. The fire place keeps the house at a comfortable 68.
I got some more materials for the fire trough yesterday. Just another piece of the outdoor kitchen. This is where the dutch ovens will hang and it is where I will make the coals for the Cajun Microwave. I should have it done by the end of the week, I hope. I will show you what I'm talking about when it's done.
Please be safe out there this week. New Years Eve is for the amateur alcoholics to be out and being they don't drink all the time, they don't know how to handle themselves.
The professionals stay at home.
Saying that, I plan to stay at home and have some family over. The plan is to sit around the fire and have a good time.
Stay safe,

Many winters and much wood is cut and split by the time we start feeling it. The rows in the garden get longer in the summer. At least we aren't setting around like some people, well except on new years eve. Have a good one, I will raise a glass to all the bloggers!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks SBF, I guess if I did it all the time then it would not effect me as much, but being I only do it once a year it tends to get those areas that are not used so often.Delete
Us, getting older folk, all feel your pain. It was my knees & back due to pulling weeds this past weekend. I wish you & your family a very Happy New Year!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks DFW, same to you and yours.Delete
Jerry, In our minds we are and will always be Superman, but our bodies tell us differently. Bitter cold here in MN tonight. a bakers dozen below zero last night and again tonight. We also got some lite snow so driving is not fun.ReplyDelete
Have a safe New Years Eve.Replies
Rob, that is way too cold for me, I will take my mild winters in a heart beat. The summers here though, I would rather have yours.Delete
You be safe as well.
We usually stay home new years. We don't party and I always seem to wake up at the crack of dawn anyway. Good luck with the wood. When I was little, we had a wood stove. I don't miss moving and stacking it. Hubby has a bad shoulder and knee, so our projects always take a little longer.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks for the comment J&M,Delete
I would miss the smell and the warmth of the fire if I did not have it. All the work I would not miss.
Joe and I aren't party animals. Sitting around a fire pit is as exciting as we get, but it's our kind of wonderful. I hope some of you can bring out the guitars. I miss sitting around our bonfires in Indiana, picking and grinning. Ahhh, country and bluegrass, where have you gone. Now, we mostly move slowly and listen to our joints pop and realize our futures are behind us. Have I cheered you up yet?ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks for the uplifting comment there LJ,Delete
We are staying home tonight and I'm going to try to make spicy chicken wings :)ReplyDelete
I need to post. I have so much going on it's unreal! I had my first litter of meat rabbits four days ago. I'm hoping I will be able to eat them, they are soo cute :/
Happy New Year to you and your family! 2014 is going to be AWESOME!!!!Replies
Thanks Kelly, yes it will.Delete

When Deliver Hope Founder Daniel Tyler was younger, he was in and out of juvenile detention, struggling because of the hand he was dealt in his family life.
Tyler said he was suicidal, depressed and that he often lied, building himself up to be somebody worthy of his name.
He said that followed him into his adulthood and it wasn't until someone looked him in the face and told him that he was good enough, that he didn't have to be anything more than what he was, that he accepted that.
"That's the kind of heart we want to give kids," Tyler said. "That's why we say 'those kids have a name,' because we want to look every young person in the face and say 'you are good enough for me, you don't have to be anything more, all you have to do is trust me and let me walk through some of this stuff with you so you can be who God created you to be.'"
He said from the beginning — this is Deliver Hope's fifth year in Conway — the group has focused on that and reaching an at-risk teen where they're at, providing them with tangible resources they need to succeed.
Tyler said those can vary. For example, he said, it could mean providing a teenager with a way to clean themselves every day or a way of transportation.
Tyler said in one setting, he had two brothers who had great athletic potential but were wearing shoes too small and sleeping on the floor at night and the resource was just getting them shoes that fit.
"When you have a kid like that who doesn't have running water at home, how are they supposed to act right at school?" Tyler said. "Those needs are incredibly important for them."
He said once that is accomplished, then hope is available for these kids and when that is there, these kids can dream. And when they dream, they get off the streets.
"So many programs funnel kids through; we worry about helping one kid at a time really well," Tyler said. "Basically, what we've said from the very beginning is we wanted to be a gap filler so wherever the gaps were between high-risk, or at-risk, teenagers and our community, we tried to figure a way to fill that gap."
He said they've seen the greatest impact through their mentoring program in partnership with the juvenile court, the staff going above and beyond to give a teenager what they need "basically, to remove all excuses for bad behavior, and, it's working."
Tyler said the "biggest kicker" for them is their work with Faulkner County Circuit Judge Troy B. Braswell, who loves the kids just as much as Deliver Hope does.
"Deliver Hope is a vital partner with the Court as we strive to provide restorative justice and support to at risk youth and their families," Braswell told the Log Cabin Democrat in an email. "While the court's new assessment tool has helped identify areas of risk and need, Deliver Hope stands ready to provide the classes, mentors, time and compassion to kids that need both consequences and rehabilitation."
Since its implementation, he said, there has been a 47 percent reduction in kids going to jail and a 33 percent reduction in delinquency petitions filed by the prosecuting attorney, important because "public protection" is always a top priority for the court.
"While there are many organizations and factors that impact our court, I am thankful for Deliver Hope and their tireless work and dedication to make a difference," Braswell said. "We would not be the same without Deliver Hope. I invite anyone interested in having an impact on youth to contact the court or Deliver Hope. We will find a place for you to serve. This is our community and these are our kids."
Tyler said through that partnership they are able to first connect with kids through the intake process. They work with the court to provide two "significant programs," that the kids are ordered to take including sober support and justice circles, a restorative justice program where they focus on victim impact, how to make it right, what they would say to their younger self if they had the chance to do it again and then set goal for their future.
"It's a really basic opportunity but it's incredible to watch the kids grow through that process," he said. "Our staff works with kids one-on-one in the court system through that process and after we build relationships in that process. It's easy to: if the kids wants a mentor, well, then we can get them a mentor."
Tyler said the staff also works with the alternative learning environment through Conway Public Schools, puts on a sports night at the Boys and Girls Club every Tuesday and holds bible studies for kids in jail as well.
"Those are the ways that we've shown up," he said.
Especially working with kids who already have trust issues, consistency is No. 1, Tyler said.
While Deliver Hope has grown and its had success and impact through the years, that time hasn't been without strife and challenges, he said, including getting people to believe in the same mission and have passion for that.
"You've got to understand, this was a faith deal for me," he asid. "This was a 'I believe God called me to do this and so walking in obedience and faith for me is the kicker. I think when we walk in obedience, God's just faithful in it to take care of the needs that are there."
Tyler said another is burnout.
"I hate the saying but, you can't help people who don't want to help themselves," he said. "You hear that saying all the time and there's so much truth to it that it's a hard pill to swallow. You invest and invest and invest and invest and then all of a sudden, nothing. It doesn't work."
Tyler said that can be discouraging and force the staff to ask themselves if they're even making a difference.
"But, like I said, the big kicker for us is we're not trying to funnel hundreds of kids through we want to help one kid at a time really well," he said.
It's the success stories, the kids who have made it out and changed their course, Tyler said, that keeps them going. That, and supporting each other through the good and the bad.
"I think that's the big deal for me is I wasn't trying to make this the Daniel Tyler show because Deliver Hope has always been more about the kids than it was about me," me said. "I would, in a heartbeat, leave if that meant I couldn't keep my staff. The staff is the one who's making an impact in the community.
"I think what we do … I hope any person who runs any kind of organization believe this, but I think what we do is right. It's making a difference and kids lives are being changed for the better and our community is better because of it."
That belief, that need, is why Jordan Camp, who used to work at Deliver Hope in Conway, started a Deliver Hope in Mobile, Alabama and works as the program director and is working on forming relationships with the court system down there to, in turn, build those needed relationships with the at-risk teens.
Tyler said he's had at least 12 other counties call him, interested in what it would take to implement a Deliver Hope in their area but it's all about finding people who will seek the welfare of their community.
"When you think about the amount of money it costs our county to incarcerate a young person and then to know that because of Deliver Hope and our partnership with the court, we've been able to lower the number of kids going to jail, then we end up saving our county money and we can use that money for other things that are needed in our community," he said. "That's special to be a part of. I like to see that that's working."
Tyler said he has a tagline that he loves to use: "We're dedicated to inspiring young people to dream beyond their circumstances, to excel despite their disadvantages, so they can reach their fullest, God-given potential."
"Our circumstances don't determine our destiny but our choices will. Helping kids see that, is one of the greatest … when a kid gets that it's like the greatest thing for me to see them catch that because that's what it was for me … when I realized that my circumstances don't determine my future is what we're about," he said.

Embodied religion
|About the research
SIIBS Embodied Religion research theme supports inquiry into how religion is experienced through and advertised on the body. For instance, Embodied Religion research seeks to highlight the physicality of ancient and modern religious experience, from martyrologies' focus on physical pain and suffering, to the smells, tastes and sounds that are part and parcel of religious experience, and to the sartorial aspects of soteriology.
|Research Aims
In focusing on the physical aspects of religious behaviour and religious identity, ER research especially highlights the religious activity of non-elite participants, since theology is and has often been committed to writing by elite men. As such, these findings will certainly intersect with notions of gender, sexuality, race, and class. In antiquity, as today, clothing worn on the body signifies participation in or exclusion from particular religious groups or rituals - for instance, Augustus's regulations concerning women's clothing in the first century reflect anxieties about what was considered appropriate for elite Roman women. Similar anxieties also found their way into the texts which make up the New Testament. Likewise, the food prepared and consumed by members of a religious community creates a delineation between insider and outsider in part because of how taste as a sense works, whether the meal is a first-century passover supper or a communion cup at Sheffield Cathedral.
|Future projects
Work has only recently begun in this important field. We hope to support research in each of the three main areas of clothing, the senses, and the body in general. In the future we aim to offer modules in areas such as ancient Mediterranean food and religion, where students would both research economic aspects of meals (such as scarcity and demand), as well as cook and taste recipes preserved from antiquity. This work confirms the University of Sheffield's current reputation as a place that supports cutting-edge research in religion and the Bible.
|Dr Meredith Warren
Dr Meredith J. C. Warren works on sensory modes of religious experience, and in particular, on the frequently overlooked sense of taste.
Her current book project, titled Hierophagy: Transformational Eating in Ancient Literature, examines how characters in literature are transformed by eating otherworldly food. An article emerging from this research, "My Heart Poured Forth Understanding: 4 Ezra's Fiery Cup as Hierophagic Consumption," was recently published in the journal Studies in Religion, and a forthcoming essay on Persephone's pomegranate will be included in Taste and the Ancient Senses, due to be published in 2018.

Lizard Island
Lizard Island
Heli Scenic Flight Tour
- Daintree National Park
- Cooktown & Great Barrier Reef
Inc. all levies & taxes
Lizard Island Info
Lizard Island : Untouched, unspolit and truly memorable. There is a lot of fact in the statement "The further North you go, the more unspolit the scenery" and this is the case with this itinerary.
Highlights include: Daintree National Park, Cooktown, Lizard Island, the Great Barrier Reef and Cairns.
Daintree National Park
Fly north over the stunning Daintree National Park. You are flying over the oldest living rainforest on the planet. This is a place of great scenic beauty. From above, the rugged mountains are a carpet of green, cloaked in thick rainforest vegetation. Watch mighty, wild rivers snake their way through the mountains and down gorges, making their way out to the glittering blue Coral Sea.
We land at the "frontier" town of Cooktown. There is a lot of Australian history in Cooktown and it is worth taking it in. Did you know Captain Cook stopped at Cooktown to repair his ship the Endeavour, after hitting some of the coastal reefs? Coming ashore he and his crew made the first documented European sighting of a kangaroo. In later years, this now tiny township was a booming miners stop during the Gold Rush.
Lizard Island
Continue your northern adventure, heading out over the Coral Sea to one of the more spectacular parts of the reef, Lizard Island. Home to a myriad of bird and marine life, it is also home to a stunning resort and we invite you for lunch. There's time to relax on the long sandy beach of Watson's Bay and/or explore the mangrove boardwalk and climb the hill to soak in the panoramic views.
Great Barrier Reef
Head back down the coast and marvel at the grandeur and awe inspiring spectacle that is the Great Barrier Reef. This is the world's largest living structure and is visible from outer space. From the helicopter, you will see over 2,000 individual reefs and might even be able to see turtles, rays and whales.
Cairns and/or Port Douglas
Landing back in Cairns, we will transport you back to your accommodation after a day seeing why this destination is just so diverse and dynamic.
In Flight Audio Tour
Each guest is provided with a headset, enabling easy communication between themselves and the pilot. Your pilot and guide knows this region well and will share stories on the major landmarks throughout your journey.
This trip departs Cairns. Return transfers available from Port Douglas: $49 per person.

Lancelot Links Makes America Great Again
- Author Gabriel Sherman, who is used to loud voices, takes us inside the Trump campaign, which is small, inexperienced, douchey and massively successful. That Wall of Shame in his headquarters? There should be a lot more people on it.
- The call for "Open Carry" at the GOP Convention? That actually originated from gun-control advocates—pushing the Republican policy to its logical (read: illogical) conclusion. Adam Gopnik applauds and cries "Encore!"
- A quick history of the Panama Papers, the 11.5-million-file leak from Mossack Fonseca, the fourth-biggest biggest offshore law firm, via The Guardian, that exposes the private financial activities of the rich and powerful. A lot of the trails are covered up, but many lead to specific people like Vladimir Putin. Not to mention Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson. More, please. MF (nice acronym) is only fourth-biggest, after all.
- Paul Krugman points out that Obama's approval ratings are rising, and he feels it's because 1) the GOP is showing us what shitty leaders look like, and 2) his policies have been successful.
- Benedict Cumberbatch was filming "Dr. Strange" in New York, so what did he do? Stopped by a comic book store for research. Oh, and he also looks perfect in the role.
- Lin-Manuel Miranda, the man who turned a biography of one of the founding fathers into the biggest Broadway musical of the century, is asked by The New York Times what he reads. Turns out he reads a lot. He's reading like he's running out of time.
- If you've been paying attention, you can't help but notice that Netflix has fewer and fewer movies in its catalogue. Apparently this is a feature not a bug. It's also why I'm watching more on Amazon Prime—not to mention returning to Scarecrow Video to get the movies that nobody has.
- Indiewire has a new critic. Here's Jeff Wells' slow, backhanded clap. Agree with Wells on every one of these points.
- Omer Mozzafer picks his favorite Roger Ebert review: "Milk Money" from 1994. I didn't even know this thing existed. Anyway, it's a good review.
- Vox gives us 19 Nonsensical, Idiotic Things in the "Batman v Superman" movie. What's interesting is how many of them boil down to: This character has no motivation for what they're doing, and that's why we're bored.
- In the New Yorker, Ryan Lizza really breaks down the Hillary Clinton/Bernie Sanders divide better than almost anyone.
