"Technology is a tool for teaching, not a substitution for the teachers." – Artur Rudnicki, Poland
Artur Rudnicki Teacher
V-CE Head Master
Radom Technical School
Radom, Poland
Most of the educators we speak with here at Daily Edventures have a "moment" that sticks out as a defining time in their career. For Artur Rudnicki – an IT teacher, Microsoft Innovative Educator Expert, and MIE Master Trainer – it was when the teenagers at his school let him know the technology at their homes was better than what they used at school.
"I made a decision that in our school, it would be really modern," shares Rudnicki. "That students would be surprised by our software, our solutions. And we are doing it! Nowadays, the students check to see what technology we use at school because they want to have exactly the same in their houses."
As part of his quest to ensure that mission continues, Rudnicki and his school, Radom Technical School – a Microsoft Mentor School – have organized a nationwide Polish conference for teachers, which introduces teachers from all over Poland to the newest technology.
"We must keep teachers up with changing the technological realities," adds Rudnicki, "because students are born with technology and they understand it already."
Here, Rudnicki shares some views of his work in Microsoft ClassRoom, Office 365 and OneNote Class Notebook. You can also connect with Rudnicki and learn more about his work on his Microsoft Educator Profile.

Should this be nominated for Teens' Top Ten? Why? Yes. Although it is the sequal to "Sucks To Be Me", the main character's ( Mina Hamilton) go for it attitude stays the same, and juust as in the previous book there's a surprising twist at the end. It leaves you wanting more!
Annotation: Every page in "Still Sucks To Be Me" compelled me to stay up till midnight every night 'till I finished the book. As in the first book, I was once again surprised with the twist ending, and just as always, I wanted more.

Should this be nominated for Teens' Top Ten? Why? Yes. Its fun and I never want to put it down.
Annotation: It is about a vampire girl who has to fake her death to move from California to the middle of nowhere in Louisiana and fit in. The only other teen vamp in town could possibly be part of an evil vamp clan and a human won't leave her alone. Put that all together and your life sucks!
Additional Comments I would like a copy of this book.

Out and about in London
London is perfect for walking as it is relatively flat and I always feel it is the best way to explore a City. You see so much more walking and taking in the sights, smells and atmosphere and you don't get that, when you are driving in a car.
We stayed at Blakes Hotel and this was in a great location with so many gorgeous old homes and within minutes of unpacking our bags, we headed off to check out the neighbourhood.
Here are just a few snaps taken when we stayed there, back in September.
Do hope all is well with you and wishing you a great December.
All good here, just lots going on and I hope to get over to visit you soon.

Your gorgeous photos make me want to visit again!
One of my mahjong friends and her husband are there now visiting their daughter and SIL for Christmas.
We were there just before Christmas one year before joining our daughter in France for Christmas and I enjoyed seeing the shops and decorations - especially Regent Street.
Harrods was amazing - I bought a beautiful box of Christmas crackers there - which I thought were quite reasonable until I arrived home and saw the credit card statement!!! Quelle horreur!
I've sent my first large carton of parcels off to France and I'm preparing the second one now - I love this time of year!
Beautiful scenes of your stay in London! Those cakes look divine! xo KReplyDelete

Enjoy this Christmas season!

Dearest Carolyn,ReplyDelete
Lovely photos, even though I had to laugh with the very French Deux Chevaux parked in front of the building.
Such photos keep the fond memories alive for years to come.
Thank you so much for your prayers in regard to my Dad.
They got answered as finally, after 7 days, I could call Dad and he did not need surgery. Today he came home; we feel so blessed!

almost 37 weeks!
So, Tuesday I will officially be 37 weeks....and that also means that Payton will be considered 'full term' on Tuesday! I can't believe it! She could be here any day now!
Eric is home for the long memorial weekend, and we have a dr appt this afternoon.
Last week, my mom went with me to my appt, and she got to meet my wonderful nurse midwife, Jonne Sveum at Maternal Gynerations. I talked with Jonne about intermittent monitoring, and she is all for it. She is going to let me get in the jacuzzi bath in my room, bounce on the birthing ball and just walk around and move positions while I am contracting. My goal is to avoid getting an epidural....but this is my first baby, and I won't know my pain tolerance level until I get in there....so I could be dying for pain meds, who knows.
But I do know that I have several options and a very encouraging midwife and husband who are going to be there to help me get through the pain. (well hopefully eric will be there)
All of my pregnancy symptoms are still pretty much the same....I still feel blessed!
My weight gain is around 19 lbs....I kinda lost track, but I think thats where I am at. All I know is the Dr said I am doing great with my weight, and my belly is measuring right on track still.
I have my hospital bag packed, and we are going to get the carseat in the truck this weekend. :)
For mother's day, Eric got me a Vera Bradley diaper bag. But of course, I found it for much cheaper today on RueLaLa. (the super tote in Puccini) http://www.ruelala.com/invite/bkamleh If you've never been to RueLaLa.....definitely check it out. Once you join, you get access to all their weekly deals, and then for every person you invite that makes a purchase, you get $10!
We are so ready to meet our little girl...more updates to come.

32 weeks!
I couldn't be happier with how the pictures turned out, and I haven't seen them all yet.
J Martinez Photography on Facebook
The picture above is Payton's bedding, that my wonderful mother made....and the outfit that Payton will wear home from the hospital. The blanket folded next to the outfit was what I was wrapped up in when I left the hospital in 1982. (one good thing about my mother being a pack rat)
Here are a couple more pictures...hope you like them.

God Bless America
Here is a family shot from 4th of July weekend.....We celebrated at Kathryn's on Sunday, the 5th with a cookout! On the 3rd we all went to a park in Suwanee and watched an awesome fireworks show after a really great performance by a Beatles cover band. On the 4th Eric and I joined Amanda, Goof, Ali, Pete and Nancy for dinner at a mexican restaurant nearby and then Eric and I sat on our roof and watched more fireworks. I love the feeling of patriotism and love for our country that I get on Independence Day. God Bless America!
This past weekend, we spent camping on the Raven Fork River in Cherokee, NC. We had such a fun weekend.....we went tubing, (eric went midnight tubing too), biking, danced all night saturday to the Clayborn Band http://claybornband.shutterfly.com , and I even sang a solo.... 'You really got a hold on me' done originally by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. It was so much fun singing and before I could even start, the dance floor was packed full of dancers....it was really a great crowd.
This is a little clip of my niece Ali enjoying the music saturday night....

Just a couple of days ago, we reported that Aaron Sorkin had officially agreed to script for the Sony's upcoming film adaptation of Walter Isaacson's authorized biography of Steve Jobs. Sorkin is well know for his work on The West Wing, The Social Network, Moneyball, and A Few Good Men. The cast for the film has not been determined yet, but rumors have suggested that George Clooney and Noah Wyle may be the top choices for the role of Jobs.
Now, Reuters reports that Sorkin held an interview with reporters and said he was still looking for something in Jobs' life to hang the movie on.
Sorkin noted that "The Social Network" saw the Facebook story through the lens of an acrimonious lawsuit that pitted CEO Mark Zuckerberg against his Harvard friends over the creation of the social media network.
"Drama is tension versus obstacle. Someone wants something, something is standing in their way of getting it. They want the money, they want the girl, they want to get to Philadelphia – doesn't matter … And I need to find that event and I will. I just don't know what it is," Sorkin said.
According to Sorkin, the movie won't be straight from the biography. He also disclosed that Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak has been hired as a consultant by Sony Pictures to advise the filmmakers on the technical aspects of computers and about Jobs himself.
Sounds like the movie will actually be good unlike the movie Ashton Kutcher's starring in.

City Light Holding Meeting for Ambaum Blvd. SW Customers Tonight
Seattle City Light is hosting a community meeting for affected Ambaum Boulevard SW customers this evening – Tuesday Oct. 30.
The meeting will take place from 7– 8 pm at Mount View Elementary School, 10811 12th Ave. SW.
According to their website:
City Light will be upgrading the underground electrical cable system along a portion of Ambaum Boulevard SW beginning in early November.
The project's boundaries are at the intersection of 16th Avenue SW and SW 98th Street on the north and the intersection of SW 144th Street and Ambaum Boulevard SW on the south. All affected customers have been notified by mail and are invited to a community meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 30, from 7– 8 pm at Mount View Elementary School, 10811 12th Ave. SW. City Light representatives will be on hand to answer questions from the community about the upgrade and subsequent impacts of the construction work.
Ambaum Boulevard's electrical cables are aging, which means that their protective insulation is beginning to deteriorate. This can cause cracks, which can lead to unplanned power outages. City Light is working with a company called Novinium to repair the cables using a silicone injection process. The silicone fills the cracks in the cables and extends their useful life. This will provide more reliable electrical service for the neighborhood. City Light has used this method successfully in 22 other neighborhoods since 2009.
Affected customers can expect planned power outages so crews can work safely. All customers impacted by the outages will be notified the Thursday before the outage. The electrical configuration along Ambaum Boulevard may require up to six planned outages for some customers. Planned outages will not occur on consecutive days. The outages will last approximately eight hours each.
Work will begin in early November and last approximately 27 weeks. Work hours are 8:30 am – 4:30 pm. There will be no planned outages on Thanksgiving Day or the day before, nor the week of Christmas or on New Year's Day. Some traffic and parking disruptions will occur in the work area, all of which will be clearly marked with signs. Flaggers will be used on the arterial streets and on residential side streets. Crews will ensure that access to driveways is maintained.
More information is posted here.

Jim Wells County and the City of Alice, in partnership with Blackboard Connect Inc., has instituted a regional notification system that will be able to send telephone notifications to residents and businesses within Jim Wells County impacted by, or in danger of being impacted by, an emergency or disaster.
This system, called LUCAS, will be used by emergency response personnel to notify those homes and businesses at risk with information on the event and/or immediate action (such as a boil-water notice, missing child or evacuation notices) we are asking them to take. The system uses the database of landline numbers only to send a notification. If you have a Voice over IP (VoIP) or cellular telephone and would like to be notified over that device, or if you would like an email notification, you must register those telephone numbers and/or email address for use by the notification system.
Please use only supported browsers when using LUCAS. Supported browsers are Internet Explorer 9 or above, Firefox Version 23 or above, and Google Chrome Version 18 or above.

5. How we became humans 2: Stones
Our ANBOS had to become professional stone throwers. They could not safely take a step on the open grasslands without their armament of stones. One stone was not enough to ensure their safety; they needed a handful of stones.
But how can apes carry a handful of stones? On the open grasslands, plenty of animal hides could be found. Sabre toothed tigers ate the entrails of their kill. The hyenas with their mighty jaws were capable of eating the rest of the carcass, including bones, but left the basically inedible, hairy hides. So the ANBOS used those animal hides to carry things; and with their long experience in braiding their sleep nests, knitting these hides together was easy. But how would apes carry bags filled with stones? How do bonobos and chimps carry heavy things? They use their hands, and in order to do so they must walk upright on their feet.
In tens of hundreds of thousands of years our ANBOS, having no other choice, turned into 'professional' bipeds with longer and stronger legs, special pelvic and buttock muscles, special midriff, and adapted blood circulation. At least they began to develop these features in a way that was good enough for foraging on the savannah. They still kept the climbing facilities of their hands and feet: it was not safe to sleep on the ground, so they still had to make their sleeping platforms high in the bushland trees.
Females had to carry their babies and gather food for themselves and the rest of the group, so they couldn't carry and throw stones. Males couldn't gather food: they had to protect the others, because the predators were always watchful for moments of inattentiveness. So from the very beginning, our ANBOS cultivated a division of labour. Women and children gathered the food: grass seeds, tubers and roots (with digging sticks), larvae and insects, eggs and small animals. The adult men did nothing but provide safety. The groups with the most effective behavior flourished, kept more young alive and soon outnumbered the groups that were clumsy at these things. In tens of hundreds of thousands of years, through hundreds of generations, the most adept populations survived.
The same mechanism applies to group harmony. Bonobos live in female-dominated groups characterized by group harmony. They solve all tensions with sex. It is clear that our ANBOS 'professionalised' this behaviour too. Nice breasts and buttocks for the women (the 'attractive' red vaginas of the chimpanzee-women and heavy scrotums of the males were not maintainable for bipeds), large penises for the men, and continuous sexual willingness and unnoticeable oestrus of the women are all mechanisms for reducing tensions.
Didn't the men hunt? No way. The bipedal speed was insufficient to keep up with the savannah predators. But thanks to the presence of predators such as sabre toothed tigers, there were hides all over the place, leftovers of the other carnivores of the savannah. The hides provided a new niche for the handy apes. The ANBOS could pick and scrape protein-rich tissue from the hides with the sharp edges of bones, shells and stones. And when a hide was totally clean, it made a perfect bag for carrying things, a blanket on cold nights, a screen against sun, wind, or rain, or a practical canvas for stone tools. The multipurpose hides were the ANBOS' most valuable property. The 'paleos' lack attention for the importance of these hides in the technical development of our ancestors. It was the beginning of 'the stone age': the beginning of the use of stone flakes for processing hides.
All these environmental changes and physical adaptations developed unperceived by our ANBOS. Just like normal apes 10 million years ago, they made their daily foraging tracks in a vast territory. In the course of two million years even more open grasslands became part of their territory and daily route. All needed adaptations developed during this time. By 6 million years ago, our ANBOS were experienced savannah dwellers.
They had evolved into a new kind of chimp, a totally new species in the history of life on earth: the australopiths. The only thing which remained unchanged was their way of life. They would leave their nests early in the morning, wander along a route they knew perfectly, gathering food along the way, and finally come to the next wood where they would share the gathered food and then make their nests high in the trees. The only part of the routine that changed was that instead of eating their food while ranging on the woodlands, they carried most of the gathered food (tubers, grass seeds, larvae, eggs, and so on) to their camps to be distributed equally among group members.
99.5 % of the time we exist, our ancestors were hunter-gatherers. This is an important fact for understanding ourselves.

This summer, for the first time in 13 years, I decided not to grow a backyard garden. I even grew a clandestine veggie garden outside my apartment while in Med school, so this was a big change! Instead, we bought shares in a local CSA and we've been up to our ears in produce. I've never had so much salad in all my life! The challenge of 'eating down' the veggies before the next week's share is delivered has been fun. I've also enjoyed the variety of vegetables.
Sisters' Zucchini BreadMakes 2 loaves
2 heaping cups grated zucchini, skin and all
2 cups sugar
1 cup oil
1/4 cup dairy-free milk, I used Silk PureCoconut
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups flour (I have experimented with 1/2 white and 1/2 whole wheat and it works)
1 t. cinnamon
1 t. salt
1 t. baking powder
1 t. baking soda
Crumb Topping (optional)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup flour
1 T. dairy-free margarine, melted ( I use Fleischmann's Unsalted Margarine)
1/2 t. cinnamon
1.) Preheat oven to 325.
2.) Mix the first set of wet ingredients together in a medium bowl.
3.) Mix the second set of dry ingredients together in a larger bowl.
4.) Dump the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until everything is just blended.
5.) Divide the batter evenly between two greased bread pans.
6.) Mix the crumb topping ingredients together in a small bowl, and sprinkle over the batter. You'll have extra, so save it in the freezer for topping muffins someday.
7.) Bake for 1 hour. They're done when the center is set. You can try inserting a toothpick to see if it comes out dry, or just touch the tops. When they spring back, the bread is done.
8.) Let them rest for a few minutes, then carefully remove from the pans to a cooling rack.
The first loaf gets devoured immediatly, the second loaf gets cut into slices. I put a small piece of waxed paper or parchment between each slice and freeze…perfect for lunches or mid-day snacks!

He transforms in this costume. It is something hilarious and slightly strange and amazing to behold. He has a dance all choreographed and he slinks down the hallway on all fours. He moves in close -- too close -- and doesn't ever say a word.
That's how I knew the costume was perfect for him. Lots of people will be Avengers and Mario Brothers -- that's what I told him. And he thought about it for weeks and chose to suit up in a way that really suits him.
He wore the costume many times before today. One Saturday, he was in and out of it six or seven times. He is uninhibited. He is inspired. He is in love with himself in all that spooky Spandex.
This morning, he couldn't keep still while I tucked all of his skater-punk hair into the mask and Velcro-ed it shut. He fidgeted while I tied his sneakers and tucked his pants way down in the skinny legs of it all.
"I can't wait to see how kids react when they see me!" He said this as he waved at people passing by in cars as we drove to school.
But when we got to the playground and the kids stopped and stared, he moved in closer to me. His gelatin moves stiffened and he tucked under my arm as a pair of Mario Brothers pointed and said he was too spooky.
My alien-boy got shy. And maybe a little embarrased. I tried to pull him out of it, but he waved off my attempts. When the bell rang, he waved off his friends as well as they tried to touch his wig and tug at his finger tips. It didn't go the way he envisioned.
It wasn't the kind of encounter he planned. I hope when I go back to pick him up, he sees it all differently. I hope he's warmed up to the weirdness of his costume and the fabulousness of the opportunity to be mysterious and funny and a little creepy all at once. I hope he's found his way back home in his costume.
We will go to a party and then trick-or-treating with too many kids on a street too crowded with parents and wagons and strollers and chaos. Then his dad will arrive, surely dressed to match, and I will snap a thousand more photos of us all. It will be cold and too soon we will be ready to call it a night, no matter how much candy is in the bucket and how much more the other kids are up for.
I will whisper to him that he is so him. And that even swathed from top to toe in alien green, I see the boy he is and I see who he is becoming and I see the part that connects it all and will stay true, year after year, get-up after get-up, change after change.

Ángela reviews "The Thirty-Nine Steps"
Review by Ángela Fernández Fernández-Avello
"The Thirty-Nine Steps"
By John Buchan. 1875-1940
Oxford Bookworms Library
Stage 4.
The author was a Scottish writer and politician who served as General Governor of Canada, and also worked as a correspondent in France for "The Times" when World War I began.
The main character of the book, Richard Hannay, is inspired by his close friend Edmund Ironside, an adventurer he had met in South Africa.
This is a thriller and adventure book, it tells the story of an adventurer and traveler who has just arrived in London from Africa and discovers an enormous secret about events that will lead to the First World War, having to escape from his enemies as they want to kill him.
He goes all over Great Britain trying to hide from them, he stays for a while on the Scottish moors as the police is chasing him too (for a murder he did not commit).
The book is very entertaining; it describes very well the main features of the characters and the place where the story is developed. The story has lots of action and is very surprising.
I recommend it because reading it is very enjoyable. It is so exciting that you will not want to stop reading until you get to the end.

October 29, 2011
After a 10 day visit, our beloved Monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, Head of the Commonwealth, has departed our shores, probably for the last time as she is aged 85, to return home to Buckingham Palace.
Wherever she went and whatever event she attended she was greeted by tens upon tens of thousands of well wishers and admirers, in many cases up to 20 deep.
Her farewell public barbeque today in Perth, Western Australia, attracted a joyful crowd of 100,000 of all ages, from babies, children, youth, mums and dads and the elderly and from many Races including Sudanese, and from Australians of all political persuasions. Her visit was telecast across the World to 40 Nations. She is a magnificent unifying force indeed.
The principal reason for her visit was to open CHOGM , Commonwealth Heads Of Government Meeting – this family of Nations comprises some 54 countries from all points across the Globe.
Wouldn't Obama be envious of the adulation, admiration and the sustained popularity that the Queen has enjoyed since her Coronation in 1953? She has made 16 visits to our shores as Queen and is more welcome than ever. Wouldn't he just love to draw the crowds that Her Majesty does!
Today Obama is yesterday's man; after almost 60 years the Queen is as much loved as ever.

7 Secrets to Improve Your Luck
April 1, 2001
- Think you are lucky at all times Did you know that studies show that those who lead a charmed life actually think and believe in ways to get them what they want. More does actually happen to you if you are willing to go for opportunities.
- Don't be afraid to ask questions. Being a know-it-all may make you feel like a genius but you certainly don't learn things. When you ask questions and seem more interested, the person will see you in a more positive light and feel better about themselves and hence go out of their way to help you.
- Make other people feel special. Look at any modern slick leader and they will have this way of making people at ease and comfortable. The trick to being charismatic is not about being a good saleswoman but about making someone feel important.
- Make your life look easy. Always control your self-doubt in public. Always prepare ahead for situations that make you nervous. Shrug off disappointments, knock-backs and minor set-backs.
- Show you appreciate things Always send a handwritten note to thank someone, whether it's for a dinner party, payrise or favour. Nothing is more powerful than the handwritten note in today's busy world. People will see you in a very different light.
- Always be generous. Help a friend, ask a neighbour in for a drink. If you are kind the favour will be returned.
- Hang out with people you aspire to be. Whether they're successful, rich, famous or well-read the more time you spend with your personal role models, the more you'll learn about which qualities make them the 'lucky' ones.

1. What is your name and where do you call home?
My name is Patricia, but you can call me Patty. Never with an I though. I live in Upper Michigan along Lake Michigan with my husband.
2. Do you have a pen name?
Kinda-sorta. On my books it says Patricia Lynne. That's my first and middle name. When I started writing I knew my hubby and I would be getting married and my last name would change. But my first and middle wouldn't.
3. What is the name of your most recent book and if you had to sum it up in 20 or less words, what would you say?
My recent release is called Snapshots. 20 words or less... Let's see if I can do this. Writers have a lovely ability to crank out words, but as soon as you ask them to summarize something, we get a glazed look in our eyes and go, Huh?
Cyc can see the future in your eyes, but his own future lies in his past.
4. Do you have plans for a new book? Is this book part of a series?
I have a few books I'd like to eventually published. The one I'm currently working on is the sequel to Being Human. It's called Being Vampire, but it's not a direct sequel. It has cross over characters, but I think you could read either one on its own. While I love reading series, they annoy me because of the wait for the next book. I think that annoyance keeps me from coming up with book ideas that would be series.
5. What or who inspired you to start writing? And how long have you been writing?
I started writing just for fun. I always have trouble falling asleep at night, so I'd let my imagination wander and think up stories. One day, I decided to write one down. After that, I had a dream that I thought would be an interesting story (minus the cast of True Blood since they were in the dream.) It spiralled out of control after that and here I am four years later.
6. Do you gift books to readers for book reviews?
Yup. All you have to do is ask. Or if I find you and think my book might interest you, I'll ask.
7. How did you come up with the cover? Who designed the cover of your book?
I am horrible with Photoshop and Gimp so I hired Keary Taylor to do my cover. Her work is beautiful and very affordable.
8. Which is your favourite cover of all the books you have written?
So far, I only have 3 (4 if you count the second short story I haven't released yet.) Being Human is my favorite because it's my first book, making it my baby, and Keary did an amazing job.
9. Is there anything you would change about your book covers?
No way. When Keary sent me the mock up of Being Human, I squeed and spazzed out. I loved it. Then when she sent me the mock up to Snapshots, I squeed and spazzed out again. Needless to say, I love Keary's work.
10. Would you have different book covers for different countries?
I was approached by a Turkish publisher for rights for Being Human and I'm pretty sure they did a different cover... sorta. It's the same cover I have now, but friends and I are pretty certain it's a different model. What do you think?
11. How did you come up with the title for your book?
Titles are tricky so any title I get for my stories are strokes of luck/genius that I believe sap my creative juices for a few days and nothing gets done while I recharge.
12. Is there anything you would change about your book? And why?
Nope. I'm happy with how it turned out.
13. Do you have a book trailer? And what are your thoughts on book trailers?
Yes, I have a few book trailers. I LOVE making them. At first, I was resistant and tried to get a friend to do it for me, but he refused so I had to suck it up and do it myself. Ended up really enjoying the process and decided to offer myself to others if they wanted a book trailer. Strangely, I'm not too big on watching them. Only seen a few I liked.
14. What is your opinion on ARCs?
I enjoy ARCs. Always nice to read something before everyone else. With my second book, Snapshots, I tried to have eARCs for a book tour, but I ended up being so paranoid about it and decided I'm too neurotic to do it with my next book.
15. Do you prefer e-books, paperbacks, hardcovers or audiobooks?
I like e-books and paperbacks. The only audiobook I've listened to was for Harry Potter and the narrator doing Hermione's voice annoyed me. Hardcovers are nice but the slip cover always annoys me and gets ruined.
16. Are you a self-published / Indie author?
I'm a self-published author, but I also call myself an Indie. I know some people keep the two terms separate, but I see self-publish as a type of Indie. Indie for me is anyone who goes independent of the major publishers. That can be with a smaller press or on your own. I don't argue with someone who has a different opinion.
17. Have you ever read a book more than once? And if so what was it?
Harry Potter is the only series that I've reread books. I keep my favorites incase I want to reread, but with so many new books I never get a chance.
18. Have you ever bought a specific edition of a book because of it's cover? (For example a UK, US or Canadian version)
I'm working on getting the entire Harry Potter UK version. Not because of the cover though but because of the British slang on the inside.
19. Have you ever read a book just based on it's cover?
I bought Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments series because the shiny covers caught my attention. In the end I didn't read them. Started the first one, but put it down and never picked it back up.
20. Has the quality of the cover of a book ever put you off of reading it?
Yes. A cover is the first impression and if it's not good then I'm leery of how the inside will be.
21. What is your favourite film based on a book?
Does Scott Pilgrim Vs the World count because it's based on a comic book?
22. What is your favourite book genre at the moment?
I'm a big paranormal fan all the time. You can always get me to pick up a paranormal book.
23. What books have made it onto your wishlist recently? And why?
I'm always adding books to my wishlist and then instantly forgetting about them. I'm so horrible like that, but if the blurb perks my interest I add it. No idea if later on I will actually get the book.
24. What book are you reading at the moment? And in what format?
Sadly, I'm not reading anything but I need to start Wintergirls by Laurie H. Anderson.
25. If you could invite any four celebrities (alive or dead) to your dinner party, who would you invite and why?
If we count Green Day as one person, then Green Day, Johnny Depp, Morgan Freeman and Angelina Jolie. If we count Green Day as three people then Green Day and Johnny Depp. No reason other than I highly enjoy these celebrities (Okay, I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Green Day) and would fangirl meeting them.
26. Do you have any advice for other writers? And what's the best advice that you have been given when it comes to writing?
I know it's tough, but be patient. Work on improving your writing ability and putting out the best story you can. No matter what route you choose, do the best you can.
Best advice I've gotten is to relax. I have a bad habit of thinking of everything I need to do and it overwhelms me. My writing always stalls when this happens and I have to remember to stop, relax and breath.
27. Do you have any hobbies that aren't related to reading & writing?
I love to knit and make handmade jewelry that I sell locally.
28. Where can your readers follow you?

It was Jeffrey Cox who made the inflammatory statement via his Twitter account. Then the deputy attorney general in Indiana was sacked after calling for the use of live ammunition against union protesters in Wisconsin. Simple and to the point, he was FIRED. Just as all the Democratic Assembly should be for not showing up for work. Can you imagine if our Continental Congress had not shown up when the debate got heated just to keep their constituents happy. Shame on them. It's time to cut their pay, down to ZERO. It's time to impeach each and every one of them. A day of protest, is a protest. But not showing up for work, is TERMINATE-ABLE, not to be confused with open fire.
Where else in the world can you be offered free speech only to have those elected to speak run away and hide. President Obama has only been President a little over two years, can we take six more? The world is falling apart, people willing to die for the right to elect who they want and have free speech. Yet in this country they are holed up in another state at a cut rate motel.
Take a good hard look at the unions demanding more. They protest and yell, yet none of them are working to pay for their own future.

"Louisiana Voucher Test"
Review & Outlook
Wall Street Journal
November 28, 2012
Here's the bizarre world in which we live: In 2007 Gabriel Evans attended a public school in New Orleans graded "F" by the Louisiana Department of Education. Thanks to a New Orleans voucher program, Gabriel moved in 2008 to a Catholic school. His mother, Valerie Evans, calls the voucher a "lifesaver," allowing him to get "out of a public school system that is filled with fear, confusion and violence."
So what is the response of the teachers union? Sue the state to force 11-year-old Gabriel back to the failing school.
This week a state court in Baton Rouge is hearing the union challenge to Louisiana's Act 2, which expanded the New Orleans program statewide and allows families with a household income less than 250% of the federal poverty line to get a voucher to escape schools ranked C or worse by the state. Gabriel's voucher covers $4,315 in annual tuition.
The tragedy is how many students qualify for the program. According to the state, 953 of the state's 1,373 public schools (K-12) were ranked C, D or F. Under the new program, more than 4,900 students have received scholarships allowing them to attend non-public schools.
Enter the teachers unions, which sued this summer to stop the incursion into their rotting enterprise. According to the Louisiana Federation of Teachers and the Louisiana Association of Educators, the voucher program steals money from public schools.
But teachers who do their homework know that the state constitution has no prohibition on where money may be allocated, as long as it is going to educate Louisiana children. Louisiana school funding is determined by a designated Board of Elementary and Secondary Education, instead of directly by lawmakers. According to the state's constitution, the Board must set a "minimum foundation" for funding

2013 | 560 Pages | ISBN: 1443854387 | PDF | 7 MB
Picturing The Language of Images is a collection of thirty-three previously unpublished essays that explore the complex and ever-evolving interaction between the verbal and the visual. The uniqueness of this volume lies in its bringing together scholars from around the world to provide a broad synchronic and diachronic exploration of the relationship between text and image, as well as a reflection on the limits of representation through a re-thinking of the very acts of reading and viewing. While covering a variety of media - such as literature, painting, photography, film and comics - across time - from the 18th century to the 21st century -this collection also provides a special focus on the work of particular authors, such as A.S. Byatt, W.G. Sebald, and Art Spiegelman.

Verde mate medio, precioso
I have gray-blue eyes and fair skin. When I put a thin line of this over my bottom eyeliner, it brightened up my whole complexion and made my eyes pop. I'm so glad this was in a sample quad from another purchase, otherwise I'd never of used it. Love this shadow!

Microsoft 'Flattered' By Apple iOS 5
Shortly after Apple CEO Steve Jobs unveiled iOS 5 at the Worldwide Developer's Conference (WWDC) on Monday, a Microsoft exec tweeted that he was "flattered" that so many of its abilities resemble Windows Phone features.
"Feeling flattered today. Lots of great WP ideas headed to iOS. (Camera button/above lock, auto-upload of pics, better notifications," tweeted Joe Belfiore, vice-president of the Windows Phone Program Management.
Minutes later he added, "Feeling flattered today part 2 ... wi-fi sync, built-in twitter, background downlad (sic) service, short-messaging chats (though we do Facebook!)"
Since the iOS 5 announcement, pundits have pointed out that many features introduced in Apple's latest mobile build were taken from legacy products in BlackBerry, Android and Windows Phone 7 operating systems.
For more on Apple's latest mobile OS, see "iOS 5: What We Wanted and What We Got."
Belfiore is partly right, of course, not that Steve Jobs or Apple's jailbreak community (which gave jailbroken iPhones better notifications and instant messaging long ago) care. Windows Phone 7 does feature mobile photo auto-uploads, Wi-Fi syncing, a camera button and lock screen, but things like iMessage resemble Research in Motion's BlackBerry Messenger and iOS 5's new notifications system resemble Android's more than anything.
And perhaps Belfiore's bitterness goes back much further, say from 1989, when Apple claimed Windows stole the "look and feel" of Macintosh's visual displays. Just sayin'.

The Escape of the Bride to the Marriage of the Lamb November 2, 2007Posted by Watchman in Bible Prophecy, Christian.
Tags: Bride of Christ, Christian, church, marriage of the Lamb, Marriage supper, rapture
Matthew 25:1-13
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
This parable is representative of the rapture of the bride of Christ to the marriage. We can see upon examining some ancient Hebrew wedding traditions how these were physical foreshadows from earthly marriage to the future marriage of the church to Christ. As we will see, this study highlights the importance of obedience to God's Word as true Christians living a life of selfless love toward God and others. It should also be noted that marriage to Christ is in the spiritual sense of two becoming one like marriage. The church is the body of Christ and He is the head of the church. The head gives direction to the body as God has done in His Word. We are promised to Christ now for a future time when we will be together in more than just spirit. The point of first meeting is upon being called out to meet Him at His coming.
This going out at Christ's coming to meet Him can be placed in the timeline of prophetic events based on how Christ's coming is described and a time we are promised escape from. Both Matthew 24:36-39 and Luke 17:26-30 associate Christ's coming with sudden destruction like the days of Noah and Lot. Prior to both of those times coming, the earth was in a place of spiritual wickedness and ignorance to their impending destruction until it came suddenly and they did not escape. Likewise, 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 describes a time when God's wrath comes beginning the day of the Lord. This time comes suddenly like a thief in the night from which those caught by surprise will not escape. We are warned to not be caught up in the cares of this life and a life of ignorance so this day doesn't also catch us off guard. Our point of escape from this destruction of God's wrath is laid out in Luke 21:34-36 regarding a time coming on all them that dwell on the whole earth.
Luke 21:34-36
And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
Our escape coincides with Christ's coming followed by sudden destruction. Ephesians 5:1-8 states that God's wrath is for the children of disobedience whom we are not to be partakers with. So if God's wrath is for the children of disobedience and we are removed prior to that wrath, a dividing line of obedience vs. disobedience to God is laid out determining who escapes when Christ comes to gather His bride and who does not. This highlights the importance in a Christian trying to remain obedient to God's Word of selfless love for Him and others.
As you will see, this isn't just an escape, but the point of departure to attend the marriage of the Lamb. Some interesting points of similarity are highlighted when we examine ancient Hebrew wedding tradition that I believe is relevant to understanding the details of this parable. There are two parts to the marriage according to tradition.
The Erusin or Kiddushin (Betrothal or Engagement)
"This is a significant time before the actual marriage when the groom pays a price to show he is serious about the marriage, this is in the form of a wedding ring today. He also gives a speech of promise that he will come back and get her soon. The reason he then leaves for a while, sometimes a year or more, is because traditionally the groom would leave to his father's house to prepare a place for him to return with the bride and live." [1]
This first part was fulfilled by Christ upon His first coming as the suffering servant. He came and paid the price by dying for our sins to show that He was serious about His proposal for marriage to the bride, His church. Our wedding ring is the receiving of the Holy Spirit, who is our seal of promise. Ephesians 1:12-14 | Ephesians 4:30 Moreover, He also made a promise in John 14:1-3 regarding His plans to return and gather us to Himself.
John 14:1-3
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
The Nisuin or Chuppah (Ceremony or Nuptials)
"The word Nisuin means 'to lift up' or 'carry.' Lifting up the bride is an ancient wedding custom of carrying the bride to the ceremony in a carriage lifted by poles. Although seldom done today, the ceremony bears the name. The Chuppah is not only related to the bridal chamber, it is also 'lifted' by poles like the ancient carriage. The custom of lifting the bride and now the groom in chairs is rooted in this processional. The last part is Yichud – Seclusion- After the Wedding Ceremony the Bride and Groom now retreat to a private room to enjoy one another. This is a time of togetherness before the great feast that awaits them." [1]
The Chuppah: "A traditional chuppah, especially within Orthodox Judaism, recommends that there be open sky exactly above the chuppah. The bride lived with her parents until the actual marriage ceremony, which would take place in a room or tent that the groom had set up for her. At this new ceremony, the chuppah, or the portable marriage canopy, was included as a symbol of the chamber within which marriages originally took place. The groom enters the chuppah first to represent that it is like his home or garment. When the bride then enters the chuppah it is as though the groom is providing her with shelter or clothing, and he thus publicly demonstrates his new responsibilities toward her." [2]
This second part will be fulfilled by Christ at His second coming I went over above just before the pouring out of God's wrath. His arrival, according to the marriage tradition, means that the preparations of the chuppah are completed and He is calling out the bride to come and meet Him. I find the tradtional name's meaning of lifting up or carrying interesting given the nature of the rapture in catching away from the earth and our journey to the Father's house with many mansions, New Jerusalem. As Matthew 25:1-13 shows, the bride leaves with the bridegroom to the marriage.
Are all Christians the Bride of Christ?
When we read the Bible today, before these future events have come to pass, we see written that a Christian is the bride of Christ. It is therefore easy to assume that if you are a Christian, you will be the bride. However there is an element and determining factor of who attends the marriage and who is shut out based on obedience. Yeshua stated that our obedience to His Word and Commandments was a demonstration of love for Him and a requirement to remain in God's love. John 14-15 In light of that and the idea of marriage, we see that the determination of who Christ marries is based on obedience and one other factor, timing.
In the kingdom parable meant to associate the coming of Christ and marriage tradition, 50% of those who call Christ Lord and desire to attend the marriage are shut out of it. Since the bride must attend the marriage to be the wife, it follows that those not raptured will not be the bride of Christ. This shows how Bible prophecy, telling of events within earth's timeline of history, further defines who the bride of Christ is. I'm not trying to be divisive, although many have taken this subject as offensive. I'm pointing out the scriptural reasoning for my conclusions on this matter in hopes of clarifying the importance of obedience to Christians now before the wrath comes suddenly.
Those who are ready when the time of escape comes will pass through the door to the marriage that also shuts some out from the marriage. Those shut out aren't spoken of in the weeping and gnashing of teeth sense, so I don't think this escape is a determination of eternal salvation that is through Christ alone. However, it is a defining moment for those who would be the bride of Christ since the marriage follows it and those who don't pass through the door do not attend the marriage. Scripture makes it clear that there are those who die for Christ's name during the time following the rapture of the bride of Christ. And in addition we see that there is a resurrection of the just after Armageddon and the binding of Lucifer for 1,000 years. Revelation 20:4,5 So I don't view being left behind at the rapture as an eternal death sentance, but given what those left behind will be going through, physical death is very likely a part of being left behind.
Is the bride of Christ special? To God she is because she believed God and it was counted to her for righteousness. When Christ is dwelling on the earth it is no longer by faith, but seeing. If faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen, Hebrews 11:1, then during the millennium it is not by faith we live but by obedience when Christ is ruling with a rod of iron on the earth. I think that is the difference of who the bride is defined as. She believed God when it was not necessarily convenient, being in the world, or the disobedience didn't have immediate consequences. She read the Bible and understood the wages of sin is death and so tried to separate herself from sin and be obedient to God's ways of love.
The bride of Christ are soulmates to Christ by faith and obedience in purifying themselves by conforming to the ways of God before the point of escape is passed. They do this not because it is easy in this dark world, but because they understand the Truth and God's ways and love them. The Bible warns us that alliance with Christ will mean the world views us as an enemy and will hate us as they hated Christ. This very moment around the world people are dying for their faith in Christ. It can cause Christians problems in this world and many who begin that path to Christ find it much easier to do their own thing and satisfy the lusts of the flesh forgetting God's ways. This is not the kind of wife the Lord wants, He desires a bride who loves Him. How do we show our love for God? According to John 14-15 by our obedience we remain in God's love.
God determined a time at which point He would come to gather His bride as the kingdom parable of Matthew 25:1-13 shows. He warned those who would listen and read His Word, believing it to be true, to watch for that time of His coming and not be caught off guard like those revelling and drunk of the world. He told us only those who obey would escape the wrath intended for the disobedient. So given this prophetic event tied to earth time and not eternity, is Christ going to become one body with those who would not listen without being shaken from their complacency of a life lived for the flesh? Or is Christ going to marry those who heard, repented, watched, prayed and obeyed?
The point is that eternal salvation is through Christ alone. Everyone in eternity will be Christians because all have accepted Christ as their savior as He is the only way to heaven because He is the only one who died for our sins so that we would be found blameless before God. Since the wages of sin is death and Christ is the only one who loved us enough to die for our sins, we have been freed from the bondage of sin and given eternal life through faith in Him. However, we have also seen that before eternity there is coming a time of God's wrath on the children of disobedience. Those who are obedient escape to the marriage of the Lamb while the disobedient are shut out of the marriage. Since the bride must attend the marriage to be the wife, it follows then that not all who are eternally saved by Christ's blood are married to Christ. These are the wedding guests.
The Marriage Supper of the Lamb
Part of the tradition discussed above was the marriage supper. According to tradition, this takes place after the consummation and is the point when the wife is presented to the wedding guests. There are guests present at the marriage supper as opposed to the time the bride and groom spend alone together prior to this celebration of the marriage. My position in the timing of the marriage supper of the Lamb is based on the following scriptures.
Revelation 19:7-9
Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
Daniel 12:11-13
And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.
I realize the connection is not an extremely strong one, but given the blessings to both groups and the need for guests to be able to attend the wedding feast, I believe the marriage supper of the Lamb takes place on the earth during the millennium and after the resurrection of the just in Revelation 20:4. They are not the bride of Christ because they missed the marriage itself, but they are the guests and they are eternally saved by the blood of the Lamb. Traditionally the feast is placed after the time the bride and groom spend alone following the marriage, so this timing of the feast after Christ's return in glory at Armageddon and about 45 days after the end of the 70th week of Daniel fits the criteria for guests being there and following the time spent following the marriage.
New Jerusalem: Home of the Bride and Groom
This brings me to another point regarding the timing of our removal to the marriage and the connection of New Jerusalem, the Father's house with many mansions being prepared for the Christian church right now. This scripture ties the escape following a resurrection to hide during God's wrath.
Isaiah 26:19-21
Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
So what is New Jerusalem? According to scripture it is a central theme of the eternal kingdom of God following the destruction of this current heavens and earth. Upon the creation of the eternal new heavens and earth, New Jerusalem comes down to the earth and is as a city among the nations of saved that dwell on the new earth. A description of its purity and beauty can be read in Revelation 21. What I want to discuss here is how New Jerusalem is related to the bride of Christ.
Revelation 3:10-13
Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Revelation 21:23-27
And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it. And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
Here we see the home for the bride of Christ is the city of God, New Jerusalem. We also see in Revelation 21 that there are those dwelling outside of New Jerusalem in eternity on the new earth who bring their glory to New Jerusalem where the Father, Son and the bride of Christ dwell.
The time of Christ's coming is fast approaching, are you ready? Do you have a personal relationship with Christ based on love and obedience to His Word? Do you communicate your heart to Him in prayer and wait upon the Lord? Nobody is perfect and God doesn't expect perfect obedience because it is not possible for us to be perfect by our own works. His grace is sufficient to cover our sins, but we must try to conform ourselves to God's ways of selfless love as demonstrated in the 10 Commandments, the shadows of love. So even in our failings, let us glorify God and get back up to walk on the spiritual path that leads to Christ and assures by the sealing of the Holy Spirit of promise, our participation as the bride of Christ in the marriage of the Lamb.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-18
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

In watchmanbiblestudy.wordpress.com/2007/11/02/the-escape-of-the-bride-to-the-marriage-of-the-lamb/,
The author claims that "not all who are eternally saved by Christ's blood are married to Christ. These are the wedding guests…and they are eternally saved by the blood of the Lamb". They do "enter the gates of the eternal city".
It is true that only those who are "washed in the blood of the
Lamb" will dwell forever in the New Jerusalem that comes down from heaven upon/over the new earth. This can be
deduced from the original KJV translation of Rev.22:14. This
conforms to the stated truth of Rev.21:2,27.
But the same verse in most of the other translations states
that only those who "keep His commandments have the
right to the tree of life and enter the gates to be healed by
the leaves of the tree of life". Rev.22:2,14.
It is unproven doctrine to teach that guests to the Lamb's wedding supper have received eternal life because they
are washed in the blood of the Lamb. These guests will
inherit the kingdom on earth and will only "enter the gates of
the New Jerusalem" to be "healed by the leaves of the tree
of life"…because they were saved during the Millennium by "keeping God's commands". Rev.21:24-26; Rev.22:2,14; Matt.25:32-34.
The original KJV is incorrect if it suggests anyone will be
removed from a share in the "Book" of life. For Rev.22:2,14,19
refer to the "Tree" of life; not to the Book of Life. No one
whose "name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life from
the foundation of the world" will deny Jesus or worship the Beast. Rev.13:8; Rev.17:8.
But those who become the "goat" nations in the Millennium
will be cast into Hell at the end of the reign of Christ. Matt.
25:41-46. Those of the "sheep" nations will inherit the
kingdom on earth and "enter the New Jerusalem day or
night to be healed by the leaves of the Tree of Life. Mel Miller email@example.com

Hello, I thank both of you for all of the information you have shared. I have been praying and asking God to show me the Truth to all of this. I origally Googled "Day of the Lord" to research all the verses in that discuss this. I have been observing that there is a differencs between being saved and doing the will of God. There is a difference and this makes it more clear for me. I am so much more intersted in "obeying" Gods commandments now. God has taken me on a long journey of lessons to bring me to my level of faith as it is now. Small things like forgiving and mending relationships, and not exchanging loving others for the gain of money. Also tithing, which is a difficult thing for me at times. Besides that, fasting and just simply getting into the word more and more has broadened my knowledge of the One and only True God. Or God that is true, however you would like to put that. Point being, getting to have faith in a God that does not lie, and one you can trust at his word. What interest me is I do believe that the entire "pretribulation Rapture" is a huge Lie from Satin and this World. I find that the Day of the Lord is what the bible says. and that we will witness the Antichrist build the temple, and show himself to be God before the Day of the Lord. In 2 thes. 1-4.. Also in Mathew, it talks of One disapearing and one staying at the time of this "coming" of the Lord. Where people get the idea there there is a 3rd coming I dont know. As in 1 cor. 15:52 this rapture happens at the "last" trump. Now I know, there are 7 seals, and the 7 trumps happen between the 6th and 7th seal, and the 7 bowls happen between the 6th and 7th tump. I think this is true, but not certain. Anyhow, the Author here is the One and only peson I know that believes what I see the scriptures saying. That the rapture does not happen before the 7 year tribulation. But accaully at the end. before God's wrath. Not satins. In addition I would like to thank the author for putting this all in a format that can be easily shared with others. I will have to read it all again, because I am still not sure about the saints that come back with christ. Who this is? The bride? the 144000? See Christ comes back with "all the saints" ,and he comes back at to end the battle of Armegeddon. So does the church get raptured, and in the blink of a moment have the wedding and in the same moment came back with chrsit? this here is my question. I am still in the dark about this and also I am still in the dark about what occurs in this 1000 year reign. If there is sudden distruction when he comes back, then the unsaved must all die, so who does christ and the saints rule over? If the saints rule with christ then who do they rule? the outsiders that are saved, but not married to the Lamb? The disobediant ones that are saved by grace through faith? But if they had real faith, would they be disobedient? And when they are seperated to the right and to the left, and the one stack is given to be with the hypocrytes and the ones that are nashing teeth and weeping, are they all saved or eternally dead after this? hmmm…. I hope to get a response and I would really appriciate the time you would spent to respond because I do beilieve it will not b e in vain, and the truth will be heard from me and spread to others if I can understand it better.. thank you much. George Thompson

I was reading about when George quoted "And when they are seperated to the right and to the left". Isn't that exactly what is happening right now? And I was also wondering if the whole religion of "environmentalism" is related to the scripture about thos people who are of the world?

New Delhi: India has been assessed to have a deficit of about 18.78 million housing units in urban areas, and more than 95 per cent of the same pertain to economically weaker sections and low income groups of the society, Urban Development Minister Vennkaiah Naidu said.
In this scenario, the government is evolving comprehensive strategies towards achieving the objective of "Housing for All" by 2022, through active and beneficial involvement of a variety of stake holders including public-private participation and improving governance of housing delivery, the minister said yesterday.
Naidu was addressing the Plenary Session of Asia Pacific Ministerial Conference of Housing and Urban Development (APMCHUD) in Seoul.
Commending the Seoul Declaration, Naidu appealed to all Member Nations to adopt 5E policy - Education, Employment, Entertainment, Economic Upliftment and Equal Opportunities - to make the lives of people comfortable.
Quoting him, an official statement released here said he added that India has one of the largest urban systems in the world.
"Though accommodating slightly less than one third of the total population, the urban centres in India contribute a substantial part of the Gross Domestic Product already with 63 per cent in 2007 and the same is expected to increase to 75 per cent in 2021. By 2050, half of the Indian population will be living in urban areas and the Government of India is fully seized of the imperative of urban up-liftment through improving quality of public transport, providing drainage, sanitation, waste management, water recycling and wi-fi facilities for public and commercial areas," he said.
Naidu stressed that there is a commitment to adopt modern scientific methods of town and country planning practices based on Geographical Information System (GIS) in urban development.
Extension of metro services to important and major urban centres, development of twin cities and creating infrastructure in satellite cities are other priority areas to promote sustainable and integrated development of urban settlement system, he said.
It is in this context, the government is according top most priority to set up 100 new smart and safe cities in the country, he said adding that this entire effort would be "people centric" and pro-active urban reforms, planning and management as well as citizens' participation would be the hall mark of this strategy.
