Here I share more insights gained since Holy Week, citing an example to prove this post's title and looking at early church history. First, listen to Jesus in prayer:
"Father, I pray for those who will believe in Me..that they may all be one, as You Father are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent me." (John 17:20-21 NKJV – emphasis added)
Is Jesus' prayer about to be fully answered at long, long last? Especially for the sake of saving lost souls?
Sixty years ago many Christian denominations had scant tolerance for one another, even though a large percentage of Britons attended church regularly or, if not, would at least go for Easter and Christmas. Those who didn't were religiously well-informed – unlike today's spiritually unwashed masses who are religious illiterates! As a youngster I was subject to some most unexpected personal animosity between Protestants and Catholics – despite their claiming to believe in the same God!
Thus, disunity was one reason for my rejecting Churchianity and seeking truth beyond science and religion in metaphysics and mysticism (the Eastern and New Age variety).
As well as ignoring Jesus' expressed desire for unity and command to love one another, believers weren't doing what Jesus did – and more – as He foretold:
"Most assuredly I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do because I go to My Father." (John 14:12 NKJV)
History demonstrates churches across the East and West hadn't complied with Jesus' desire. Moreover, it seems God didn't answer His Son's deep prayer request! Mankind's free-will and Satan's steering were determined to prevent its fulfillment at all costs.
Heavenly Father can ensure Jesus' prayer gets met. No doubt He's waiting for the right time and conditions for inspiring believers who are responsive to His Spirit; rather than to make them comply. He didn't create robotic automatons. First, however, we need to want and allow Holy Spirit into our lives rather than deny, quench or grieve His gracious ways.
Re-born Into Christ
Consequently, it was an extremely pleasant surprise to find after being born again in 1989-90 those antagonisms had disappeared. When I was baptised in Holy Spirit in 1992 I saw Jesus healing people and so I wanted to associate with the group who'd organised that day's event. That Circle of Prayer for Healing in the mid-Thames Valley was a mixture of Catholics, Anglicans, Baptists and independents – and all charismatics!
Thus, spiritual unity of that small group enabled Holy Spirit to flow in power and manifest the presence of the Kingdom of God – praise You Lord. Hopefully we may expect a much larger manifestation now we're 25 years further down the road…
An increasing emphasis from those with prophetical voices and gifting is indicating Holy Spirit wants to inspire, infuse and direct our hearts and minds with Jesus' love for fellow Christians, and to express that as a Unity of spirit and action – so the world no longer sees believers as squabbling hypocrites and realise who Jesus is and that we really do have the answers they're desperately needing and seeking spiritually.
Hence my enthusiasm towards unity in belief and action (with the caveat of obedience to Jesus' instructions) throughout Christendom – no doubt the intensification of secular and terrorist persecution is drawing us out of our shells and making us stand up!
So, let's remind ourselves of recent 'God-incidents' focusing on Unity (as here and here).:
- Extraordinary vision: "I watched as these fiery, burning and anointed ones moved together in PERFECT UNITY".
- Revelation from the Lord about angels of Revival being released and that "The body of Christ is coming alive in Jesus, in purity, in life, in love, in UNITY".
- Obedient response to: "The Rhema Word God has had for me the past few months is UNITY".
- Writing a new book for which "The major outcome theme…is Unity".
- Three years' preparation for church-wide act of unity across the UK.
The details of the last from Malcolm Duncan warrant brief re-iteration:
"I lead Spring Harvest and for three years I have been working on an act of unity across the United Kingdom that will see all…evangelical bible conventions and celebrations declaring that, whatever our theological differences are, we are one in Christ Jesus. It is going to involve 130,000 Christians from March (Spring Harvest) through to October next year with the Festival of Life…perhaps the biggest demonstration of Christian unity that we have seen in the evangelical church in the United Kingdom for almost two hundred years – and they've all said "Yes" – there's the miracle! They're all on board, and I am sure the Bible says,
"Where the brethren dwell together in unity, the Lord commands a blessing."
Seventeen months ago Heidi Baker brought a word about 'A New Move of God in the UK' which prophesied about Unity as follows (underlining added):
"…There's going to be a movement of unity in the UK that's going to shake the world, says the Lord. I hear the prophetic word of the Lord. It's going to flow through the universities and the colleges of the universities. It's going to flow through denomination and the non-denominations. There's going to be a move of unity within the Body of Christ.
"You're going to fill Wembley Stadium. You're going to fill stadiums, stadiums, with worshippers of the living God. And there's going to be this holy affection where people come before the Lord. They're not going to even know who's speaking in the stadium, they're not going to even know the name of the preachers, because they're coming fixing their eyes on Jesus. It's going to shake the nation, says the Lord.
"There's going to be a unity even between Scotland and Ireland and the UK, that's going to SHAKE, SHAKE, SHAKE, SHAKE. There's going to be a shaking that's going to bring a unity, says the Lord. There's going to be something that the people of other faiths are going to see in this nation, as believers come together in radical love…"
Amen to all the above.
The Early Church on Jesus and Unity
My meditations have been based upon Apostle John's understanding and revelations of the glory and nature of His dearly beloved rabbi, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. This meant musing upon, seeking the Lord and researching into what the disciples may have learned after the Resurrection; 'To whom', the physician and chronicler Dr Luke records that Jesus, 'also presented Himself alive after His sufferings by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and (His) speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.' (Acts 1:3 NKJV)
[THUS, after that privileged private teaching they logically concluded the Kingdom was going to be restored to Israel. That's clearly the Lord's action plan – they just wanted to know when to expect its execution. Had that not been a legitimate request they'd have been rebuked. But Jesus told them that's not their – OR His – concern because it's The Father's prerogative! Jesus had another plan for them: transmitting the Gospel with all the consequential signs and wonders: ie. fulfillment of John 14:12 – see Acts1:6-8.]
Scriptural meditations encouraged me to re-read The Hidden Tradition of the Kingdom of God – an exceptionally informative book by the Methodist Bible scholar Margaret Barker, whose Doctorate in Divinity was conferred by the Archbishop of Canterbury, 'in recognition of her work on the Jerusalem Temple and the origins of Christian Liturgy'. (It is designated, 'Temple Theology'.)
Dr Barker's significant new contribution to the understanding of the New Testament opened up important fields for research.
In checking out her website I found the paper 'Jesus the Nazorean' most illuminating and confirming my thoughts on Paul's many references to the 'mysteries' of God. On page 9 therein lies a useful insight into our consideration of Unity in the Lord (emphases mine):
"Theodotus, the second century teacher whose work survives only as quotations in Clement of Alexandria, was condemned by later generations as a Gnostic. He taught about Jesus' role in restoring the unity, just as John's Jesus did in his final prayer after the last supper. This is what Theodotus said:
They say that our angels were put forth as a unity and are One in that they came out from the One.
Now since we existed in separation, Jesus was baptised that the undivided should be divided until he should unite us with them in the Fullness, that we, the many, having become one, might be mingled with the One which was divided for our sakes.'
"And this is what John's Jesus said:
"[I pray] that they may all be one; even as Thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they may also be in us, so that the world may believe that thou hast sent me". (John 17.21)
Restoring the unity was a sign of divinity. But John's Jesus also brought judgement: '[The Father] has given all judgement to the Son' (John 5.22).
"Theodotus is not telling us anything different from what Paul said in his message to the
'For he has made known to us in all wisdom and insight the mystery of his will, according to his purpose which he set forth in Christ, as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth' (Eph.1.9-10).
"So too in his letter to the Colossians, Paul said that Christ holds all things together (Col.1.17).
"The secret of the kingdom was the secret of unity, restoring all things to their unity with God, and so Paul saw the future as the Son of God bringing all things into the kingdom – he called it subduing all things, the judgement – 'that God may be all in all' (1 Cor.15.28)."
Therefore, in my humble opinion, this information is well-worth mulling over. I'm especially pleased Dr Barker refers to and stresses Ephesians 1:9 (see my covering intro to God's Eternal Purpose – and reference to Unity therein). This reinforces my interest in what Paul knew by personal revelation from Jesus Himself, as well as gained when he was caught up into heaven.
Thank you Lord that Your Spirit of Wisdom and of Revelation brings knowledge of You (Eph 1:17).
In discussion with a leader at a local church we visited recently I queried his opinion upon the source of Paul's knowledge of the Last Supper and the Resurrection. He was keenly recommending a new devotional book, 40 Days With Jesus by Dave Smith of New Frontiers church. In considering the evidence for Jesus' resurrection, the leader echoed Smith's citing 'compelling evidence from 1 Corinthians 15 (as) important because not only was it…written early [in 55AD] but (also) Paul's evidence would have come from meetings with the other apostles that took place only a few years after the resurrection itself'.
This book's a useful adjunct to my meditations, but the above remark may be playing fast and loose with scriptural data!!
Paul's letter to the Galatians may be dated 6 years earlier, depending upon which of two groups he was addressing, or else contemporary with that sent to the church in Corinth. In stating how he changed from being a severe persecutor of believers to becoming an on-fire believer and preacher, Paul writes (Gal 1:15-16 NKJV):
"When it pleased God…to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood, nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went to Arabia and returned again to Damascus."
In about 62 AD, Dr Luke completed his careful investigations of early church history. He wrote, 'In his account to King Agrippa Paul states, "I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision but declared first to those in Damascus…(to) repent, turn to God and do works befitting repentance" (Acts 26:19-20). Earlier, in recording post-conversion events of Paul in that city, where Paul regained his sight through Ananias, Luke states 'Then Saul spent some days with the disciples in Damascus. Immediately he preached the Christ in synagogues…' (Acts 9:19-20).
Therefore, if Saul didn't receive full revelation personally about the Last Supper and the Resurrection whilst blind, then wouldn't he have got the basics from Ananias' group?

If you own and operate a website, there's a fairly good chance it's powered by WordPress. A 26.4% chance to be exact, though it's even higher now (that statistic is from March of last year). 500 sites are launched through WordPress daily, and it is by far the most popular CMS.
There's many factors you could attribute WordPress' ubiquity to: its pricing, its functionality, its countless customization features. But perhaps its most renowned quality is its ease of use. Without any prior coding experience, users can easily operate and maintain their website.
But WordPress' usability is not perfect, and neither are we. In fact, often times WordPress' more complex functionalities and versions can confuse novice users—and at one point, we were all novices.
To avoid these pitfalls, here are just a few common mistakes WordPress newcomers make, and the most effective methods for correcting them.
Between WordPress.com, WordPress.org, and the multitude of packages in between them, it's tough to discern which platform suits your website's specific needs. Often times, beginners choose incorrectly, and find themselves paying for features they don't need, or frustrated with the limited functionality of the version they selected.
As a quick reference, WordPress.com is the more general, versatile version. It works well for just about everyone, from artists to bloggers. On the other hand, WordPress.org suits those who need more customization and control of their site.
Of course, the foolproof fix to this blunder is to consult a WordPress expert—instead of wading through the prices, functions, and features of every package, you can simply state your needs, and have a web design agency do the rest.
Often times site owners don't prioritize the security of their website until it's too late. It doesn't matter if you're site handles customers personal or financial information or not—every website is susceptible to hackers, and just one cyberattack can crash your website for good.
There are a few preventive measures you can take, from creating a backup of your website, to employing limited login attempts or two-factor authentication. But again, for a more robust security solution, consider enlisting the services of a web development company.
Yes, there is a difference between a category and a tag. Categories are broader, more general groupings of your posts and content, and tags describe more specific details. What they both have in common is that they're easy to create and implement, meaning often times users take them to an extreme.
In short, having an overwhelming amount of categories is poor UX design practice. With too many, users have a difficult time sorting through your content, and finding the posts they're most interested in. Try limiting your categories to about 5 or 6 to provide a better user experience.
It's a no-brainer that your website's theme is the cornerstone of its user interface, and thus it's UX as well. As the foundation of your website's design, it's important to consider a variety of factors before selecting a theme, instead of just impulsively picking one that looks nice.
Some of these factors include your desired layout for the site, the usability for both you and your site's visitors, the price, and it's level of customization. You can choose from any one of WordPress' theme providers, or hire a UX design agency to tailor a solution specifically for you.
It shouldn't come as a shock that a sizable portion of your users will be accessing your site from a smartphone. In 2014, one study reported that a third of all online traffic is from smartphones. If you're website isn't optimized for mobile, it is already a relic of the past.
Mobile Traffic Statistics – (Source)
Luckily, WordPress provides their clients with a few tools to make their websites a bit more mobile-friendly. WPtouch and WPTap are both examples of plugins that offer mobile compatibility, but the websites that offer the best mobile experiences have used a mobile app development team.
We've only scratched the surface of common mistakes WordPress newcomers make, though I hope we've covered at least one flaw your current WP website may have.
If not, there is one panacea, one magic piece of advice I can offer that remedies any WordPress errors you may make.
No matter what issue you're having with your WordPress site, the cure-all is always hiring a design and development agency that has mastered the art of WordPress. Many of these agencies are reliable, well-trusted, and can tailor to any business, no matter the size or budget.

When I saw the opportunity to jump into "The Secret of Ella and Micha" blog tour, I didn't think it twice. I was so intrigued by this book, its cover and its blurb. You know that saying that goes: "count the sin not the sinner"? Well, I'm not going to give you much detail about it but, this specific story about an unfinished love, reminded me of myself and, *a-hem* let's just say, a special story. So, now you know what I was referring to when I'd mentioned how captivated I was by this book. But, enough about me, this book is too special to get interrupted by my nonsense.
From the very first scene I felt completely dragged into this story. I don't like spoilers but, the setting of that singular scene… The rain, the bridge, Micha Scott, *blushes while fanning self* Oh Micha. I don't know what is it about bad boys but they are just... In absence of a better word, HOT. Yes, that's the right one! Bad boys are HOT and Micha isn't an exception for that rule.
As you've read on the blurb, Ella used to be the perfect crime partner, a rule-breaker. Nevertheless, she's now trying to keep her new low profile, straight "A", responsible self in line. Hiding all her problems from the world and her only new friend/roommate Lila, her biggest fear is to return home. She's afraid of returning to the place where everybody knows about her past, the place where she's just a sidewalk away from Micha.
As I said before, Micha is a bad boy. He's a tattooed, lip pierced and sweet as a honey bun bad boy. At least, that's what he wants everyone to believe. However, he doesn't fool Ella. They've known each other long enough to know what's going on with the other just by a glance.
The patience Micha shows Ella it's immeasurable. While she wraps her head around how she deals with her past and her family, Micha is her constant, her unconditional support. The clearest example of this comes from Micha's lips: "I love you, Ella May and nothing will ever change that. You can push me away—run away—and I will still love you."
If he isn't "Prince Charming" material, I don't know who can be.
One of the features I enjoyed the most about this book was the characters. They felt real, as if they were taken from our 3-D world and left into their flat, bookish realm. I'm not only talking about the main characters but the secondary, Lila and Micha's friend Ethan, too. I was ecstatic when I learned that Lila and Ethan are having their own story told. Yes, you've read me right, Lila and Ethan will be the main characters for the 3rd book in "The Secret" Series, right after "The Forever of Ella and Micha".
Jessica's Sorensen writing was fluent, flawless and poetic.
"The scream that shatters my mouth could shatter the world's happiness into a thousand pieces. But the silence that follows it is enough to dissolve it completely."
Not only I excessively enjoyed this book, but it also kidnapped my heart and didn't give it back till I turn the last page.
"…when it all comes down to it, it's just me and her against the world. Always has been."
At this moment, before you get tired of me, I'd like to thank Heather (SupaGurl) for her kindness, awesomeness and joyfulness. She was the first blogger to let me be part of her blog, the first one to trust me and to encourage me to write reviews. Therefore…
H, as I told you before, I ♥ YOU and think of yourself as warned when I tell you: "Worry about the day we meet", because my hugs can be extremely tight. ;)

Well. We just returned from a temple stay in Beomeosa Temple in Busan, which we attended to try and learn a bit about Buddhism and perhaps achieve 'enlightenment'. After having to get up at 3 a.m with the Monks, and then hike a mountain along with other taxing activities, I can definitely say we now know how difficult this life is if you are fully immersed in it. It was however, postmodernism at its finest when we saw 20 pizza hut pizzas, along with 10 bottles of coke, being delivered into the monks quarters. We certainly didn't see any of that in our traditional Buddhist meal. And I was a bit disappointed when I saw our designated Monk slipping his cell phone in and out of his robes. It was definitely worth the trip though and I feel I have a better understanding of this religion that focuses on finding yourself, and happiness. I want to share more with you about it now, but honestly I really need a nap. Sorry. But, I'll give you a sneaky peek here of what it all looked like. It's no outfit photo, that's for sure!
And while I'm busy being lazy after such an enlightening journey, I'll show you the beautiful ladies that are inspiring me this week.

The Kimberley and Pilbara in northern Western Australia have had ONE OF THEIR WETTEST MONTHS ON RECORD due to three cyclones and a low-sitting monsoonal trough. Broome Airport has received 288 millimetres of rain over 24 days in March, compared to the monthly average of 100mm. The high rainfall has not reached Broome's record of 493mm set in March 2000. Meanwhile, in Port Hedland, three cyclones have given the Pilbara town close to its wettest month on record. A Port Hedland weather observer says the average rainfall for March is only 42mm. "Well, it's VERY UNUSUAL, the previous wettest March on record was only 250mm back in 1967, so 426mm is well and truly the NEW RECORD."

Somehow I got wind that the Star Trek Deep Space Nine documentary, "What We Left Behind," was having a NYC screening. I backed at the DVD level though, so I wasn't invited! No matter, I drove in and waited in the lobby. I got a photo and had show runner Ira Steven Behr sign my cast piece. He told me who else was coming, but the few didn't excite me. Well, one kinda did, which was Felecia M. Bell, who played Captain Sisko's deceased wife, Jennifer, for a few episodes. I got her leaving, and she was very nice.
After that, I met up with Wong, and we did a few spots. First we waited for Christopher Lloyd, who tried sneaking out. Wong got him to do the photo, while I pleaded and got an autograph on my Roger Rabbit book! I grabbed some food, and we set out to the next spot. There we waited for Annette O'Toole from Smallville. Wong wanted the photo, while I just wanted my cast piece signed. Her husband Michael McKean showed up to greet her. We got photos with him and she gladly signed for me.
Lloyd added...
O'Toole added (gold on the house)...
Moving on, I tried a spot that was an utter mess for members of The Good Fight. I mainly wanted Michael Boatman, who was in Arli$$, and he was cool and did the photo. The arrival was later than I hoped though, so I couldn't try the way in for F1 superstar driver Lewis Hamilton. Instead, I drove to another spot for Melissa McCarthy and Richard E. Grant. I started getting worried they would show up at all, but they finally did. Grant did a photo no problem, but I got another because the first one was zoomed in a lot. McCarthy arrived and was led in a side door, but said she was late and had to hurry. For the way out, a few people I knew had arrived. They got Grant too, and to our glee, Melissa was nice, and took photos and signed when she left!
I then drove downtown and waited for Lewis. Eventually his car pulled up, but before I can say anthing, his group turns and walks away. Huh?? Well they walked to the restaurant across the street and went in, so I was forced to wait another 45 minutes or so. Right as he was walking out, the rain picked up big time, and Lewis took off for the door here. I screamed LEWIS LEWIS and waved my camera. To my surprise, he stopped for me. I asked and he signed an old magazine for me, and took the selfie. The photo came out fuzzy though, probably because of the flash hitting the glass door he was holding open. In any case, it was cool, because he pre-taped an appearance later in the week, and I would have missed him there.
Speaking of pre-taping, I lucked out the next night, which became a bit of a Grand Tour. First, I started at a messy spot, but I wanted my Dale Jr. stuff signed. I had a 2008 release 1:24 diecast of his 2004 Daytona 500 winning car, plus a 2012-ish mini-helmet. He was super, and signed them on the way out. With a good photo this year, and good merch signed, I no longer have to go for the guy!
Jr. stuff
Anywho, I hit a TV spot, where to my surprise, Robin Wright was taping a day or two early. This was great, because I really didn't want to try for her at a "ticketed venue." Just as well, because she did nothing there. Anyway, she arrives and starts signing. I reach over for a selfie, which comes out fine. She only got through about 2/3 of the line, and then turned and ran in. My mistake though here was not waiting for Lin Manuel Miranda to exit, because he wound up doing for all there. Instead, I tried a spot nearby for John Stamos. I hoped he would arrive early but he did not. I got an upgrade with Penn Badgely, but when Stamos got there, the dealers were on site. He signed a bunch, so I got my Full House cast piece signed, but did only a couple photos. Leaving he blanked entirely. Unless Andrea Barber suddenly becomes friendly about signing, that piece is complete. The Olsen's will never sign.
Stamos added...
Moving on, there was an event for The Connors, less Roseanne, which I heard was not too good. The cast didn't do much there. I didn't know the hotel, but took a flyer that maybe they were using the same one. I got word that they left the venue, so a collector Paul and I RAN over there. Lecy Goranson, who has foiled and denied me so many times in the last 2 years, arrived and YES finally did the photo. Never saw the other cast members, so I still need Sara Gilbert.
Lecy finally
Prior to going home, I took the subway back to my car, which was parked for free way down by the Holland Tunnel. I got there, but decided to try one last thing. Harvey Firestein and Jane Curtin were doing an appearance close by. I need both, but I have heard terrible things about Jane. I walked over, and saw 3 graphers. Jane left, and refused to sign, which is what the graphers have told me in the past. Well I figured there's no harm in asking, so I caught her and asked for the photo. As hard as she denied the graphs, she happily agreed to the photo. She even took a second one as we both were startled by the camera flash on the first one. A grapher jumped in for his own selfie, later commending me for getting her to do it. Harvey was much easier, and I got the selfie.
Ahhh, the week would conclude quite oddly. I went out for some spots featuring Hugh Grant, Sigourney Weaver, Meryl Streep, and others. Everywhere I went, it was a big time bust! Way in for Sigourney had terrible access and setup, and couldn't get anyone. I gave up and left, trying what I figured was an easy spot for Allen Maldonado from The Last O.G. Well he was in early so no dice. I then drove to the Grant spot, and guess what? Yep, he got there early too. Around this point, Capman starts sending me messages about a secret retirement party for Carroll Spinney aka Big Bird. We both surmised that other Sesame Street and/or Muppet performers would be there. Now, I should have just driven home to NJ, got my items, and driven to the party in Queens. I definitely had enough time to do it. Instead I dillydallied and didn't have the time to do it. So I drove out there, and parked. People were leaving the party, so I didn't know what to expect. I saw a photo though with Loretta Long aka Susan. The party seemed to end and they wheeled Spinney outside, and 25+ people exited with him. I instantly spot Long, and go to talk to her. She was very nice, and her date took our photo. She also let me know that Linda Bove was not there, so don't wait for her. I was going to leave, but I see a guy that looks familiar. I ask someone, and sure enough, it's Dave Goelz! He of course played Gonzo as well as other great Muppet characters and on Fraggle Rock. Dave was super cool, and chatted for a few minutes, before I got the photo. Again, big thanks to Capman, though I really wish I had my stuff to get signed! No idea if I'll ever see Loretta again.
I returned to Manhattan, where everyone including Sigourney and Streep blanked when they left their party.

End-of-Summer Party Idea: Garden Swap
Now that August is winding to a close, our outdoor party days are numbered, but if we were going to squeeze in one last garden soiree, this would be it. The Etsy handmade blog, The Storque, partnered up with Food and Wine magazine to plan a "garden swap" party, where guests bring the bounty from their vegetable gardens and prepare an impromptu dinner together...
Etsy's Christina and the Food and Wine folks had some great ideas for how to put together this easy, pretty party:
• Mix up a batch of sangria with seasonal summer fruits.
• Offer cute re-usable produce bags as party favors.
• Use mix-and-match vintage linens (available in abundance on Etsy) to create a casual garden party vibe.
To read the full story, including suggestions for tableware and more decorations, click over to The Storque.

The Story of American Freedom, Written On Granite
By Wayne Lutz, photos by Katherine Fialkowski.
Tucked away in a working-class North Philadelphia neighborhood is an amazing repository of American History. The Philadelphia National Veteran's Cemetery is mostly hidden from the view of city traffic by vine-covered stone walls topped by ornate iron bars. The story of the birth and growth of our nation is written with the blood of patriots. This cemetery tells that story in a way no book could do – if you have the eyes to see the blood in the soil, spilled for freedom's sake, and the ears to hear the voices of thousands of war dead crying out to us to keep as a sacred trust the promise that they have not died in vain.
As you step through the granite entrance at the corner of Limekiln Pike and Haines Street, you are immediately struck by the sense that you are on hallowed ground. Row after regimented row of identical, white granite tombstones stretch out before you. The grounds are meticulously maintained — hardly a leaf out of place even in autumn, the grass surrounding the stones perfectly manicured at all times.
Thirteen thousand veterans and family members rest beneath the green grass there — vets from every war in every era from the War of 1812 to Vietnam. Built in 1862 (the first remains were moved there from other scattered burial locations around Philadelphia), the Philadelphia National Cemetery is filled to capacity and long since closed to new interments. There are few if any living family members still connected to these graves, and the cemetery seldom has visitors, even on Memorial Day.
The Philadelphia National Cemetery was also one of the first to rebel against the strict segregation of that time. Black veterans have been buried there since it was opened, albeit with most in the same section. Segregation was the rule in 19th century Philadelphia, despite that since the American Civil War black American soldiers have fought and died for the nation that segregated them. Most of the grave stones bear the mark "US CLD TRP" or "US CLD INF", for "US Colored Troop" or "US Colored Infantry".
The segregation of that era is all the more disturbing when you consider the many heroic contributions that black soldiers made to the freedom of the United States, fighting and dying in all American wars. Although segregated in life, even in war, the dust to which our heroes have returned mingle to enrich the soil. Dust is dust, it has no color. All blood spilled for liberty is red. And dreams of a better life lived in freedom are the dreams of all races since the beginning of time.
When the civil war ended, Congress formed two regiments of black cavalry with the designations 9th and 10th U.S. Cavalry and four regiments of black infantry – the 38th, 39th, 40th and 41st Colored Infantry Regiments. History has recorded the heroism of those Cavalry units that collectively came to be known as the Buffalo Soldiers. Among the silent witnesses to the struggle of 235 years are 66 Buffalo Soldiers, buried there in the Philadelphia National Cemetery in the same ground as their white brothers-in-arms.
Standing in perpetual witness to the gravestones of 13,000 veterans are four monuments to the heroes of the wars of different eras fought throughout our unique American story. There is a Mexican War Monument, a marble obelisk that was erected in honor of 38 men who served and died in that war. There is a Revolutionary War monument, erected in 1911.
And in another defiant act of "inclusion" in this "Yankee" cemetery stands a Confederate Soldiers and Sailors Monument, installed by the United States in 1911. This is a granite monument that honors Confederate Soldiers and Sailors whose remains were re-interred there from other locations after the Civil War. At the foot of this monument is a large rectangle of grass without stone markers. One Hundred and Eighty Four Confederate soldiers are buried there, without grave stones because the individual bodies could not be identified. The names of those soldiers are listed on three sides of the monument.
Turn another page in the story of the Philadelphia National Cemetery and read on. As if the ground in this place were not already saturated with more honor than it could absorb, two recipients of the Medal of Honor are buried there. Major General Galusha Pennypacker fought in the Civil War with the 97th Pennsylvania Infantry in 1865. And Seaman Alphonse Girandy, U.S. Navy, who served aboard the U.S.S. Petrel, 1901.
The American People remain the freest people in all of Human history. Our Nation was conceived by the yearning to be free and born in the pain of war and the fires of revolution. The Philadelphia National Cemetery is one of 146 National Cemeteries across the United States. Added to that number are cemeteries on foreign soil that hold American war dead and the countless State and privately owned cemeteries that are the resting places of our veterans. When you stand in any of those places you stand on hallowed ground. You stand on soil soaked in the blood of heroes. You walk among rows of gleaming white stones that mark the passing of patriots.
The entire history of the United States is one long story of the struggle of men to be free. For as long as mankind rules the Earth, some men will seek to deprive other men of freedom. A place like the Philadelphia National Cemetery is a reminder of that struggle. The stones and granite monuments there are the tablet upon which is written the story of that struggle.
Go there, and in the quiet of a summer evening as you stand among the stones you might even hear the voices of fallen patriots telling their stories. Listen, and they will tell you what they did, what they sacrificed, what they lost, for your freedom. Hear, and they will plead with you to keep the freedom that they bought for you at so dear a price. They will beg you to hold on to your freedom and guard it as a sacred trust, so that they will not have lived, sacrificed, and died, in vain.
This is the story of the cost of American Freedom, as told by the Philadelphia National Veteran's Cemetery. Read it. You need only eyes to see, ears to hear, and the moral courage to keep the story alive.

Police: Greenhill Pharmacy Burglarized, Suspects After Sudafed
LAUDERDALE COUNTY, Ala. (WHNT) — Three people are behind bars after trying to burglarize a Shoals pharmacy overnight.
This is the third break-in at Greenhill Pharmacy since the business opened in 2008.
However, this time the Lauderdale County Sheriff says the suspects were not after prescription pills or cash.
"They were looking for Sudafed to make meth with and that`s what they were after, the cold medicine," said Sheriff Ronnie Willis.
Shortly after the break in, deputies stopped a car speeding down the street.
"He noticed tools in the floorboard of the vehicle, they were burglary tools," said Sheriff Willis. The sheriff says the detective found a ball bat and crow bars. "Once he started talking to the driver, they said they knocked the window out at the pharmacy."
Angela Franks and a 17-year-old boy were inside the car.
According to the sheriff, Franks told the deputy a third person helped during the attempted break-in and Misty Campbell was arrested at her home.
"I think they knew they caught so they went ahead and told the truth," said Sheriff Willis.
All three suspects are charged with attempted burglary and possession of burglary tools, which makes the crime a felony.

How To Hide App Store Purchases On iOS
Here's how you can hide App Store purchases, or unhide them, on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch quickly and easily.
When you start to download apps onto your iPhone and iPad, a list of those titles is compiled in the background that sits in the 'Purchased' section of the App Store. The idea is to give you a glimpse of everything that you've downloaded before and what you own so you can re-download them on any device without having to search the App Store all over again. All is well and good until you start to realize that the list is getting bigger and more useless than ever before. In that case, you'd want to remove unwanted purchases from the list so that everything looks neat and tidy. Today, we'll show you how to do just that, and walk you through the process of hiding App Store purchases on iOS.
Hide App Store Purchases On iOS
1. Launch iTunes on your PC or Mac. If you haven't downloaded iTunes already, then you can do so by heading over to apple.com/itunes.
2. Make sure you're signed in to iTunes using the same Apple ID which you use to download apps onto your iOS device.
3. Once signed in, click on the 'Apps' icon on the top left hand corner of iTunes.
4. At the top and center of iTunes you should see an 'App Store' option, click on that as well.
5. Look towards the right and there's an entry labeled 'Purchased' there. Click on that too.
6. You're now looking at ALL the apps that you own, free and paid both. Now, float your mouse pointer on the top left corner of an app icon until the pointer changes to a 'pointing finger' and then initiate a click using your mouse.
7. iTunes will ask you if you wish to hide this purchase. Simply click on 'Hide.' Do the same for the rest of the unwanted apps and games as well.
From here on in, whenever you launch the App Store on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, tap on the 'Updates' tab then 'Purchased'; you will not see a single app or game which you removed from your Purchased list using the above mentioned steps.
Unhide Purchases
Accidentally deleted an app or game which you didn't want to in the first place? Then follow the steps outlined below:
1. Click on your account name at the top right hand corner of iTunes then click on 'Account Info.'
2. Under the 'iTunes in the Cloud' section you should see an entry labelled 'Hidden Purchases.' Click on the 'Manage' button next to it.
3. Here you'll see all your hidden purchases. Simply click on 'Unhide' at the bottom of each entry to revert your changes.

Become a Volunteer Library Translator
The ICDL depends upon a network of individuals who volunteer their time to translate books in the ICDL collection, the ICDL Web interface, bibliographic information about our books, author biographies, and other documents into various languages.
You do not need to give up a great deal of your time to volunteer as a translator. The time you devote is up to you. While some tasks such as translating the Web interface may involve a longer time commitment, other tasks such as translating basic bibliographic information and a brief abstract for a single book take only 10-15 minutes. We can easily divide more time-consuming tasks or groups of books between translators. Our translators are extremely useful no matter how much time they have available to assist the ICDL.

Discovering the best in people.
The Positive Emotions and Psychophysiology Laboratory (PEP Lab) at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill studies people's emotions, particularly their positive emotions. We are interested in how positive emotions affect people's thinking patterns, social behavior, and physiological reactions. Our ultimate goal is to understand how positive emotions might accumulate and compound to transform people's lives for the better.
We have three core ideals:
- To do high-quality science.
- To answer questions that matter to humanity.
- To have fun and feel good about doing it.
Our research team is working to show how it is that being moved by positive emotions can move you forward, and not only lift you to your higher ground, but also create a world that is worth giving to our children.

For decade after weary decade there have been chuckleheads claiming that working border collies aren't all that, and who needs a real stockdog nowadays, anyway, and oh — remember to buy a pup from my non-working kennel! It's such an unoriginal, predictable sort of background noise that by now most people with working stockdogs simply tune it out.
Retrieverman is the latest to troll these waters, with a post entitled, of all things, Intellectual honesty on the effects of trials and shows. [H/T: For the Pit Bulls.] The one bit of intellectual honesty you'll find in his post is this admission: "I know next to nothing about actual herding trials."
And I'll be darned if he doesn't proceed to write paragraph after paragraph demonstrating just how little he knows about working stockdogs and actual herding trials. Seriously, I can't wait for his "Don't know much about geology" post.
A few points. First: nice to know that the press coverage of the USBCHA Finals has made an impact. Working border collies are amazing dogs, and it can't be repeated often enough that the border collie's brains and biddability and athleticism are a direct result of rigorous selection for stockwork, as opposed to rigorous selection for a pronounced stop.
Point Two: if you think the following comment by BC Board moderator Eileen Stein is "the funniest bullshit [you've] ever seen," you might be as ignorant of working stockdogs as Retriever Man:
[Border collies] are like Alaskan Huskies in that they are bred to a working standard rather than an appearance standard, and they are a breed rather than a type in that they have been bred to that working standard long enough that they almost always meet that working standard better than any other kind of dog.I think the part he missed is that working sheepdogs and racing huskies are bred for different purposes, but who the hell knows. And not that racing husky people concern themselves with bloodlines or anything like that.
Alaskan Huskies don't have a registry and border collies do -- that's the only significant difference.
Point Three: there is nothing esoteric about a USBCHA sheepdog trial. Any stockdog remotely deserving of the description should be able to gather stock, drive the stock to specific areas, and help sort and pen the stock. This isn't rocket science: I've seen Lhasa Apsos manage it in a small corral with tame sheep — which, I should emphasize, doesn't mean that Lhasa Apsos represent the gold standard of stock work, however proud of their efforts you may be. A really good stockdog will be able to accomplish those tasks in wide-open, unfamiliar terrain, in an efficient manner, with unfamiliar stock. That's what a USBCHA sheepdog trial tests, and if that's hard to understand, I'm Lady Gaga.

The client will be draped or clothed at all times. The client determines which articles of clothing to remove. Many therapeutic techniques are best experienced in clothes you can move freely in.

Daybreak in Beirut after deadly bombing
Oct. 20 - Lebanese army and security stepped up around a blast site which killed anti-Syrian intelligence officer and 7 others. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
A prominent Lebanese intelligence official opposed to President Bashar al-Assad was killed in a huge car bomb in Beirut on Friday (Oct 19) in another sign that Syria's civil war is dragging its volatile neighbour into the conflict. Wissam al-Hassan, who led an investigation that implicated Syria and Hezbollah in the assassination of former prime minister Rafik al-Hariri, and seven other people were killed when the bomb exploded in central Beirut on Friday afternoon. Hassan, a Sunni Muslim who was close to Hariri, also helped uncover a bomb plot that led to the arrest and indictment in August of a pro-Assad former Lebanese minister, in a setback for Damascus and its Lebanese allies including Hezbollah. The bombing was the most serious to hit the capital since Hariri's 2005 assassination and prompted Sunni Muslims to take to streets across the country, burning tyres and blocking roads in a show of sectarian anger. Hariri's son, Saad al-Hariri, accused Assad of being behind the bombing, while Lebanon's opposition March 14 bloc called on Prime Minister Najib Mikati's government, which includes ministers from Hezbollah, to resign over the bombing. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton condemned the "acts of terrorism" and called the murder of Hassan "a dangerous sign that there are those who continue to seek to undermine Lebanon's stability." Rubble and the twisted, burning wreckage of several cars filled the central Beirut street where the bomb exploded, ripping the facades and balconies off buildings. Firefighters scrambled through the debris and rescue workers carried off the bloodied victims on stretchers. In the confusion following the blast, it took several hours before any official word emerged that Hassan had been targeted. The bombing, which was reminiscent of scenes from Lebanon's own 1975-1990 civil war, ripped through a street near Sassine Square in Ashrafiyeh, a mostly Christian area.


text:
You see, there was a time, not long ago, perhaps a decade ago, that I was very much enthusiastic about the world around. I was bothered by the things that happened around the world, while people gave into fascism, religious crusades, how people were mocked if they weren't religious, how people inflicted opinions upon each other, how conniving the politicians were, how those jocks in Wall Streets got the whole world into financial crisis, why America had to go on war with any other nation when their idealism didn't match with hers, why poverty killed some 25000 people per day, why people were bombed, why Palestine's cries went unheard, why racism still existed, why world had ammunitions which were expensive and why didn't they build schools or gave food for free, why the world didn't hear Tibet's cries now but interestingly during the colonialism she was that hot chick which every white nation wanted to date and wanted to get to know her, and at the same time, if Buddhist valued impermanence so much then why few Rinpoches cling upon wealth so direly more than a marwari merchant, etc., and yes, there were too many 'whys' in my head.
But I was a kid then, writing and expressing about those thoughts were too much of a double standard, it was negative to think so, and I was going hard on myself: These were the things I was told then, and as years passed by, I stopped writing about these things, because I would get schooled for thinking so, to have these opinions was simply wrong, it was like I was always pointing towards the dirty gutter while I should have been thankful for the beautiful pedestrian above it.
I would write then, I would write about the wrong doings and the reason why I wrote was because I indeed was affected with everything that was happening in the world. And was I wrong? With time, I stopped reading papers, with time I started not to get bothered about people dying. And how much correct and right I was, I started to blend in, I started to blend in with people who didn't bother about what others went through, and while everybody succumbed into Nationalism in the third world countries, it was a patriotic thing to be blinded by Nationalism. And the countries changed, the countries moved from Palestine to Afghanistan to Iraq to Yemen to Libya to Lebanon to Syria to Palestine again, and it was hard to keep track of which nation was being bombed after a while and there were simply many killings. There were many people burned and bombed alive, then it just became and still is, Headlines and Breaking News for mainstream media. Just like me, many don't care today, we just care whether we can afford something with our pay roll, we just try to survive and we are doing just fine. We are happy with our families and friends around and we are doing good, we don't bother nor we write about what is wrong and what is right, we don't preach nor do we do anything.
While the self proclaimed world leaders and self proclaimed messengers and chosen ones of Gods, obliterate the human race, we just turn on our televisions and flip those newspapers and read those stats like they were mere vegetables, and move on, might feel sorry for a while. We don't care how many people: men, women and children died. We don't care about their innocence nor do we care about their voyage to oblivion, we are just fine that it is them and not us, and that we are to be thankful for we are not them.
Perhaps, the answer lies in all of us, how all of us have started to behave. We just can't stand for ourselves, for we are too scared and frightened to have opinions, that if we express what we really think, we already know in our heads what-we-have-as-consequences. Maybe that's why, in the name of our principles, we have found our solaces into loyalty, we don't question what is right and wrong, but we blindly support those, to whom we have given our loyalty. Perhaps, if there were few who could really speak up, vouch for virtues, the bombings might have stopped? But who wants to sacrifice their comfort zones? So on the global scale, we all are on our boats of 'it is not us, we thank we are not born there' and continue with our lives. The bigger impact of ethnic cleansing around the world in the name of terrorism, is yet to reap, and when it does, God forbid, many of us will bleed tears and hear shrieks from those who have gone the other side.
So, yes! Shame on all of us! Shame on all of humanity! This is the future we all along longed for? This isn't what we were supposed to be? Perhaps, too many morons got hold of the wrong technology. While there are so many poor people in every nation, while they are famished and have given upon being vagabonds and outlaws in their own nations, the nations have audacities to blame one another of being terrorists, have branded the whole citizens of other nations the same and continue with their sprees of killing the innocent people: and what is the whole world doing about it? We are busy watching funny videos about kitty cats and some clowns on youtube. Yes, those dying people and their footages are too painful and depressing to be watched, so we forget about them, we try to avoid reading about them, and we warm up in our blankets of comfort zones and say the prayers, boasts ourselves for not being them, thank for being where they are not, and we forget that some kid could have been the next Einstein but his limbs, hands and head were blown up, because he thought he would get food from a truck and not explosion!
Perhaps, the modern Black Death plague isn't in physical form to be termed as pandemic, it is in the form of ideas - not to react when some do wrong? Perhaps, in mere future when those generations would read about us, they would always ask: But Miss Ronda, I don't get it! Why didn't the rest of the world question those leaders when they sanctioned those bombings and went on wars? Were they all mere cowards or were they all too blinded by their expectations for having money which they weren't even sure of getting from them? And I wonder, will there be any future generations as well?
It doesn't rekindle my lost knack to get affected again, however, it just shames me this time: How low can you go down world? How low? Shame on all of us!
