How To Solve Fights Between Two Kids?
Parents having two kids have to give equal attention and love to both the kids. But when kids resort to fighting then the situation becomes a little difficult. Teenagers are usually have very hot blood. Teenage problems can get complicated, especially with siblings. Where parents must intervene and help them resolve their issues. Some of the parenting tips to solve these kids fights are given below.
1. Do not get unnecessarily involved- Parents, to deal with sibling issues must take care not to interfere unless it is extremely important. Parents involvement in the fight can make it more ugly. They should stay away till it is really needed and they might have to take sides which leads to hard feelings. They should let their kids solve their own issues or just prompt them to come to a mutual agreement.
2. Inculcate good values- Fighting between kids can occur out of petty issues. Try inculcating good values and make them understand the oneness between siblings. Let them understand the worth of being born from same parents and the bond of togetherness. By teaching them etiquette and manners to behave in the very beginning will help them become mature individuals and reduce fights.
3. Avoid giving importance to fights- When parents have two kids then they need to be the 'bond' between the two. When the kids are fighting parents must give no importance to them. Parenting tips involve not to show leniency to any of the two children and they must avoid putting their point of view because that causes more problems.
4. Teenage ego clashes- Teenagers have ego problems. Where parents need to know how to deal with it . Several teenagers get very aggressive and loose their temper very quickly so parents need to know to calm The best way is to know both the sides of the story and then advice them in a very naive way. Teenagers needs to be dealt with a lot of care and affection to avoid issues and make peace within the family.
5. The best way to avoid sibling issues is to keep them busy- Fighting between kids can be avoided by keeping them busy. So try engaging them with activities and mainly let both of them decide things they want to do to kill extra time. These will keep them be occupied. Parents having two kids can divide some household work between them so that they do not interfere in each others matters.
6. Avoid situations causing fights- Fighting between kids can occur in certain situations; anticipate those situations and try avoiding them. For example you prepare one dish which one kid likes and ignore the other kid's preference then it might create a fight. So prepare both their favorites on consecutive days to avoid fights between the two. Kids fighting can be avoided if parents know the reasons and the situations where kids can engage in a fight. So try staying clear of situations which can cause cold vibes and prevent bitter feelings.
These ways can be used to avoid teenage problems

Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore - IDA
Award winning content from Singapore includes factual entertainment series Very!'s Chasing Happiness, which won a Rockie at the BANFF World Media Festival in 2013; and The Great Elephant Gathering by Beach House Pictures, which reaped a Silver Medal Award for the Nature & Wildlife category at the New York Festivals 2013.Moving from providing services-for-hire to co-owning and creating original content, Singapore media companies have also proven to be strong co-production partners. An example is Serangoon Road, where Singapore-based Infinite Studios partnered with HBO Asia, Australia Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) and Western Australia to co-produce HBO Asia's first original series. Serangoon Road is a ten episode hour-long detective series set against the tumultuous backdrop of 1960s Singapore. Other recent co-productions include Kakadu, a documentary series on Kakadu National Park in Australia by Beach House Pictures, Northern Pictures and ABC.Beyond producing content for television, more producers are exploring transmedia storytelling and new formats, extending the TV experience to multiple platforms. Notable multi-media content created include Mediacorp's drama 96°C Café and Beach House Pictures' Hidden Cities Extreme, a travel and adventure series. 96°C Café was first telecast online on xinmsn.com and continued its run as a 20-episode series on free-to-air (FTA) TV; while Hidden Cities Extreme had viewers engaged on its Facebook page which shared videos, images and upcoming episodes of the programme.In addition, being strategically located in Asia, with excellent content production, aggregation, distribution and broadcasting capabilities and a burgeoning creative community, Singapore has become the natural home and springboard to other parts of Asia for some of the world's most established global media companies. They include AXN, BBC, CNBC Asia, Discovery Asia, FremantleMedia Enterprises, HBO Asia, MTV Asia, Nickelodeon and Walt Disney Television.
Public Service Broadcast
OverviewIMDA supports the production of Public Service Broadcast (PSB) programmes, which serve the following national and social objectives:
The provision of PSB programmes is guided by its vision to foster a connected society through quality, engaging and informative public service content with reach and impact and the mission to inform, educate and engage Singaporeans by supporting the development of quality content.
e-Brochure Brochure PDF
IMDA supports the production of locally-produced PSB programmes as well as the acquisition of foreign programmes in a range of genres that cater to the public's diverse viewing interests. These include news, current affairs, info-education, infotainment, arts & culture, drama, sports, children, elderly, variety and minority-language programmes.
Programmes are telecast across Mediacorp's seven free-to-air (FTA) television channels in Singapore's four official languages and also available on Mediacorp's online service, Toggle (www.toggle.sg). With the launch of the PSB Contestable Fund Schemes in July 2012, Singaporeans can expect to watch PSB programmes on more platforms beyond FTA, such as on StarHub's E City and SuperSports Arena channels in 2014.
While PSB programmes have generally performed well in terms of viewership and public satisfaction, in a digital environment, more needs to be done to extend the reach and deepen the impact of PSB programmes in step with changing media consumption habits. An eight member PSB Review panel was set up in 2010 to review improvements to the delivery of PSB programmes and recommend ways to maximise its reach and impact. The PSB Review Panel submitted its recommendations to the Ministry of Communications and Information (then Ministry of Information, Communications and the Arts) in March 2012. The Panel noted that though there is public affinity with PSB programmes, media consumption habits of local audiences have changed as a result of digitisation. More media choices and increasing ease of access to global content have also led to audience fragmentation in Singapore. Considering these factors, the Panel recommended that the PSB framework be strengthened so that it will remain relevant and appealing to the public. The quality and accessibility of PSB content must also be continually enhanced to meet these challenges.In July 2012, the Government announced its acceptance of the majority of the Panel's recommendations to enhance the quality and increase the reach of PSB programmes. A five-year (FY2012 to FY2016) budget of S$630 million was allocated to enhance the quality of programmes on FTA TV. PSB support was also extended to non-FTA local platforms such as Internet TV and pay TV; and to create sustained training plans for talent development. In addition, Dr Yaacob Ibrahim, Minister for Communications and Information, announced in Parliament on 8 March 2013 that the Government would invest another S$182 million over the next four years (FY2013 to FY2016) to support more locally-produced documentaries and current affairs programmes.Key initiatives under the revised PSB framework launched in July 2012 include:

In which John teaches you about the Seven Years War, which may have lasted nine years. Or as many as 23. It was a very confusing was. The Seven Years War was a global war, fought on five continents, which is kind of a lot. John focuses on the war as it happened in the Americas, Asia, and Africa. the "great" European powers were the primary combatants, but they fought just about everywhere. Of course, this being a history course, the outcomes of this war still resonate in our lives today. The Seven Years war determined the direction of the British Empire, and led pretty directly to the subject of Episode 28, the American Revolution.

My eyes are your eyes,
to watch and protect you and yours.
My ears are your ears,
to hear and detect evil minds in the dark.
My nose is your nose,
to scent the invader of your domain.
And so you may live,
my life is also yours.

This week is Police Memorial Week, when we celebrate all the law enforcement personnel who gave the ultimate gift, their lives, to ensure the safety of ours. This week is SO deserved and such an honor for the family members who are left standing dazed and heartbroken in the aftermath, as well as for the brothers and sisters in the vast law enforcement family to share in such a tribute.
We should also give a tribute to the police K9's that have given their lives to ensure the safety of their handlers and the public. These animals do not work for money, status or benefits, they work solely for love. Their motivation is the handler's happiness and the love/praise reward received. The bond that is created between the handler and the K9 is like no other.
I have been in a family with animals my entire life, dogs and cats mainly. My father was a veterinarian technician, a Chief Master Sergeant, in the United States Air Force and was part of the initial team tasked with developing the Air Force working dog program. I learned from an early age the amazing capabilities of these dogs, their physical prowess, and the incredible drives they possess.
I was not aware, however, of the tangible and absolute bond between handler and K9, and nothing could prepare you for this. These teams work together, live together, train together and sometimes die together. To lose your K9 partner to illness or injury is devastating. To lose your K9 to evil or violence is unimaginable.
We train our K9 partners to track human scent, to sniff out explosives or narcotics, and to alert us to the presence of hiding suspects. They are exposed to many volatile situations and violent encounters. They do their jobs eagerly day after day, not knowing the danger they face from so many origins. They work alongside their handlers in heat, rain, sleet or snow. They work in the dark, in run-down buildings, in high crime or heavy traffic areas. They keep the handler company and are ever watchful for unseen threats.
The K9 leads the way into danger without faltering and oftentimes quells the situation. Ironically, sometimes the K9 leads itself or his handler to an unwinnable situation. Doing their job with precision and diligence often is the downfall of the K9. How do you train for evil? How do you prepare your K9 to escape a bullet or a knife? There is no way to prepare your K9 for every dangerous situation, just as there is no way to train yourself for every encounter. You train your team to be proficient and you train to win.
We in law enforcement know the dangers and risks. We know at any given moment we may lose our life, the life of our co-workers or the lives of our K9's. We know that we might never return to our precious families. We enter this profession by choice and by calling, completely aware of all it entails. Our K9's do not.
A hero is defined as "a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities". Valor is defined as "a strength of mind or spirit that enables a person to encounter danger with firmness". Love is defined as "the unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another". All of the fallen law enforcement professionals who have given the ultimate gift are the embodiment of all three of these traits. They stood tall and proud, and they stood for all of us against evil and will live forever in our hearts.
What if the fallen hero is a dog instead of man? Is the courage any less distinguished? Is the valor any less prominent? Is there still not a life for a life? I believe the police K9 falls into its own category of a hero. It is defined by intelligence, distinguished courage or ability, valor and selflessness. The K9 brings another quality as well, which is unconditional love. This is a concept that means showing love towards someone regardless of his or her actions or beliefs.
One of my favorite quotes by Josh Billings is "A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself." The police K9 exemplify this quote in every way. He or she is often the only one at your side, is fierce in his/her protection of you, will not leave you in battle and would at any moment give its own life for that of yours.
In closing, I wish to give my absolute and heartfelt thanks to the many heroes that have fallen for this nation. They are men, women, and police service dogs, some known to me and others not, yet we are all of the same family. Your families will stand proud knowing that the ultimate price was paid in the pursuit of righteousness and justice will prevail.
Master Deputy Charlotte Raschke has worked in law enforcement since 1988. She started her career in detention services and worked all phases of patrol, street crimes, crime prevention, property detective and the K9 unit. Deputy Raschke has been in K9 for 13 years as a handler, working three patrol utility/narcotic dogs and a single purpose EOD dog. Charlotte is currently a K9 trainer for the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office in Tampa, FL. She was twice awarded the Law Enforcement Officer of the Year, the Deputy of the Quarter, and four life saving awards. Charlotte is an adjunct Instructor for St. Petersburg College's Multi-Jurisdictional Counter Drug Task Force.

|RACIBORZ: Śląskie
Alternate names: Racibórz [Pol], Ratibor [Ger], Ratiboř [Cz], Ratihor. 50°05' N, 18°12' E, in S Poland, 76 miles W of Kraków near the Czech border. 1900 Jewish population: 948. With 60,218 inhabitants in 2006, the town is situated in the Silesian Voivodeship since 1999 and previously in Katowice Voivodeship (1975-1998) and is the capital of Racibórz powiat. [June 2009]

The first documentation of the Jewish population in Raciborz supposedly comes from the end of 11th century, when a synagogue possibly was located in the Old Village at or near the present church of St. Mikołaja na Starej. In 1379, a group of Jews lived here in this large trade and craft center. In 1495, the Jews had their own synagogue on the streets Solnej and Leczniczej at the corner of the existing streets Solna and Lecznicze. At the beginning of the 16th century, anti-Semitism flared in Silesia. On January 1, 1510 the prince expelled the Jews from Racibórz. They returned, however , mainly to Biala in sufficient numbers to set up a prayer house. In 1796, 30 Jewish families lived in Raciborz. In 1812 King Frederick Wilhelm III granted all Jews in his kingdom full civil rights. In 1825, Jews here purchased a plot at current street Szewska for the 1650 talarów on which to build a Neo-classical synagogue completed in 1830 with chandelabra from Barcelona for 376 by 1832, 777 in 1847, more than 1,200 in 1872, and 1,500 in 1900. The wealthy Jewish community completed a new Moorish synagogue in 1889 that survived to "Kristallnacht" in 1938 when the Nazis burned it. The remaining walls were demolished in 1958 replaced by a square. In the 1930s, very few Jews managed to immigrate. Very few survived the Holocaust. [June 2009]The 2.03 hectare cemetery was located on the Wilczej Górze and Fojcik głubczycki streets. The kahal purchased the cemetery in the Old Village from Jana Hutnego in 1814, but began its use only in 1817. Prior to that the Jews used Jewish cemeteries in nearby cities or Biala Prudnicki, Bodzanowie, or Mikołów . The oldest documented gravestone is that of Rosalii Wachsner from 1821. The last burials at the cemetery probably were Josef Bohn (7.03.1940) and Adela Fraenkel (10.02.1941). Most gravestones dating from the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries are black, white,and pink marble or granite and sandstone as either traditional shapes or obelisks, boulders, and more artistic forms and a wide array of decoration. Inscriptions are in Hebrew and German and only rarely just Hebrew. In 1973, to decommission the cemetery, masons from the surrounding area were allowed to take them to reuse in Catholic cemeteries. Some fragments and stone foundations are all that remain. Photos. video. [June 2009]

I've developed a huge passion for baking the past few years. Whether it's making homemade bread, a cake, a pie, or even simple cookies, I've fallen in love with baking. Believe it or not I actually went to culinary school some 17 years ago (dang I'm getting old) to be a pastry chef. I quickly discovered at the tender age of 18 that I definitely did not have the patience it took to be a pastry chef. I'm not about to wait all day for a cake to cook and completely cool before icing it. HECK NO!! So I knew after my first baking class, about 6 months in, that being a pastry chef was not in my future. I did instead pursue traditional culinary skills and really put baking on the back burner for about 14 years. I have a 4-year-old so dang has my patience increased, and because I've been learning this asset it's made it more fun to bake. Thanks Olivia!
In addition to acquiring a bit of patience for the art of baking, I've really enjoyed the science behind it. While there is definitely some science into baking sweet's it's much more predominant in bread making. The yeast feeds off the glucose, but then it needs to be a certain temperature to come out of its dormancy. Then it causes the flour and liquid to rise and produce this mostly air filled dough mixture that is then baked, which again is a mostly air filled cooked dough mixture. WOW is it so cool to me. Ok now that I've geeked you out let's leave the baking process and focus in more to this Savory Tart with Sweet Potatoes and Goat Cheese in Honey Wheat Crust. While dough rising isn't necessary in this recipe, there is still some down time so dough can rest before cooking.
There are so many sweet tarts out there I really wanted to make something that was loaded up with vegetables while using a whole wheat crust. Bob's Red Mill makes the most amazing stone ground whole wheat flour. The flavor alone is superior to anything out there and its high protein content makes it perfect for anything baked, especially a hearty savory tart like this one.
Believe it or not any tart or pie crust shell is so easy to make that once you learn how to do it you'll feel silly for going to the store and buying the premade version. It's seriously only flour, butter, a bit of sweetness, salt and tad bit of water. Seriously that is it, so no more crazy talk like you can't do it. Put all of those ingredients into a food processor and spin it together until it becomes like a meal and then you form it into a ball with your hands and let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes so that the butter can cool back down. If you use room temperature dough it becomes harder to work with as it can fall easier due to the butter melting. Let's be honest too, 30 minutes is nothing to wait for when making this Savory Tart with veggies.
Once the dough has cooled down a bit you want to form it to a tart shell pan. If you don't have a tart shell pan then you can use a pie pan, no worries. Next you want to dock the dough with a fork so it can breathe a bit when baking, and so no dough bubbles form. You then place a sheet of fitted parchment paper down onto the dough and add either raw beans or rice to the top to give it some weight and you bake it. Since the vegetables in this savory tart are already cooked there is no tart crust pre-baking, this is it.
When the tart is done baking cool it too room temperature and spread on a layer of seasoned ricotta cheese. You can even add a few goat cheese crumbles at this point so feel free to get a little flavor creative. To finish off this savory tart you want to add on a layer of roasted leeks followed up by spreading out some cooked and sliced beets and sweet potatoes. Yes, I did add a few goodies to the top like fresh herbs, goat cheese crumbled and some reduced balsamic vinegar to give it a little extra umph! I always try to make my recipes as versatile as possible so you can add on a lot of whatever you want tailoring it to your taste buds. So in the end, get creative with what you want to finish off your savory tart with. Enjoy!
Savory Tart with Sweet Potatoes and Goat Cheese in Honey Wheat Crust
For the Shell:
- 2 cups of Bob's Red Mill Whole Wheat Flour
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 1 teaspoon of Kosher salt
- 12 ounces of ice cold unsalted butter
- zest of 1 lemon
- 3 ounces of ice cold water
For the Filling:
- ½ cup of ricotta cheese
- 2 thinly sliced leeks
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 each oven bake cooked peeled and thinly sliced red beet, purple, white and regular sweet potato
- 12 to 14 asparagus stalks
- ½ cup of goat cheese crumbles
- 1 teaspoon of chopped fresh thyme
- 2 teaspoons of chopped fresh chervil
- 1 tablespoon of reduced balsamic vinegar
- Kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
- Preheat the oven to 350°.
- Add the flour, honey, alt, butter and lemon zest to a food processor and process on high until it becomes a meal. The butter should be size of rice. If the dough seems dry add a little water.
- Remove the dough and form it into a ball using your hands. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Next, form the dough to a 10" tart pan. Dock the dough using a fork. Place a circle fitted piece of parchment paper over the bottom of the tart shell and add on 1 to 2 cups of dried beans or rice.
- Bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until lightly browned and firm. Cool completely to room temperature.
- Spread the leeks and asparagus over a sheet tray lined with parchment paper and coat them in olive oil, salt and pepper and roast in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned and cooked. Cool to room temperature.
- To plate: spread the ricotta cheese onto the bottom of the cooked and cooled tart shell and season with salt and pepper. Next spread on the leeks followed up with fanning on the individual sliced potatoes and beets. Surround the outside of the shell where the potatoes and beets are not with the asparagus. Top off with herbs, salt and pepper, goat cheese crumbles and reduced balsamic vinegar.
- Eat cool or at room temperature.

Give God Your Best
First, a word of thanks to all those who support the ongoing ministries of Our Savior Lutheran Church. Your offerings make a difference as our shared ministries touch the lives of many each week. Thank you for every way in which you gift our congregation!
"The gift of the Magi" is a deeply moving short story about two people who love each other so much that they offer to each other their very best (click here to read). The gift of Jesus, who John the Baptizer announces as" the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world," reminds us that God loves us so much he has offered his very best for so that we might have forgiveness and life in his name" (here to read).
Sacrificial love is not easy. Indeed, self-sacrificing love of God offered for the sake of the others is counter cultural in an age that prizes individualism. But the Lamb of God invites us to follow his example. "Come and see" is his simple invitation. Watch and learn is his encouragement. Give it a try is his challenge.
As you strive to give your very best back to God by sharing his selfless love with others, may you be strengthened by the Lamb!
Blessings, Pastor Mark

I have always imagined that fall dates were more romantic and meaningful. Perhaps it is the cold weather that brings people together; over warm heating, dim lighting and a mug of hot tea or a good pint of beer. No matter what the occasion, a fall gathering always seemed more intimate to me. So when it comes to dates with that special person you have been admiring from a distance, these fall dates are enchanting.
My first fall date occurred last night. It was a painful process to arrange it but in the end, it paid off. It wasn't really that romantic. In fact, he made no reservations, we had no back-up plans and were limited to our neighbourhood. But despite those limitations, it was a night I would not forget...not for a long time.
We met outside an old pub and began making small talk. Scratching original plans, we ended up hopping into a cab to take us to a cozy neighbourhood bar. We sat huddled on this small loveseat, under very dim red lighting and unidentifiable background noises filled the room. It was perfect. With his leg crossed over his other leg, his knee leaned on my thigh. We casually touched each other's arm mid-conversation and a lot of laughter. I was starting to ease up and relax. And then, we got the news that a few people would be coming to the bar; people who would cause some drama so he paid the tab and off we went.
Again, with no plans, we headed to another pub. It was nearly deserted, with only a regular at the bar and a couple in the other corner of the room. It was perfect. We argued over who would pay for the bill; we laid things out on the table and talked openly and honestly. It all went--unexpectedly--well.
But the most memorable and most simple part about the night was walking home. While walking home, he made a subtle move of holding his hand out and without any hesitation, I put my hand in his. And that was how he walked me home.

My Gut Reaction / For Promotional Use Only: Remedy - Remedy EP (2000)
At least nobody can claim that Ross "Remedy" Filler didn't put in the work. After getting signed by The RZA and having it discovered that he is actually the son of a lawyer Prince Rakeem either once employed or still has on the payroll, Remedy was quickly dismissed as a novelty act who wasn't worthy of the one-sheet ads in The Source that he appeared on. Thankfully for him, The RZA gifted him a slot on the Wu-Tang Killa Beez compilation The Swarm in 1998, and he responded with hip hop's answer to Schindler's List, "Never Again", which proved that the man could actually write, rap, and produce, and that his signing wasn't necessarily a fluke, even though, sure, RZA certainly could have given that deal to a bunch of other rappers who would have taken better advantage, but whatever.
After a number of false starts, Remedy's debut album, The Genuine Article, found its way to store shelves in 2001. Your mileage will vary depending on how much you like Wu-Tang b-teamers who take this rap shit far too seriously (apparently none of the artists affiliated with the Wu have ever taken a cue from the late Ol' Dirty Bastard, except for maybe his brother 12 O'Clock and that Shorty Shit Stain guy, because I believe you can't take anything seriously if you're going to leave the house looking like that). But it was clear that Ross had taken his time trying to put together what he believed was a solid piece of work. I know this because he went through a ton of tracks before landing on what ended up on The Genuine Article, some of which appear on the Remedy EP, a project curated by our host with hand-picked tracks from his vault, intended to build a buzz for whatever the fuck his debut album was supposed to be called at the time. (This EP is also known online as The Library 1995-1999, which makes a little more sense, but I'm running with what I have.)
This EP is not available for resale, but can be heard fairly readily on the Interweb. It features five previously-unheard tracks, one song featuring Killarmy that Wu stans were very familiar with (and were shocked to discover its absence from The Genuine Article), and, because this is a man who has never heard of the phrase "beating a dead horse", "Never Again", since Remedy is committed to beating the Guinness record of how many non-greatest hits projects that song can appear on, apparently. At the very least, this EP shows a mind at work, as Remedy plays around with his production style and his flow to see what works best for him, even though you don't get to hear any blatant fuck-ups since, once again, this was curated by Remedy himself, and he controls how you perceive his work.
With such a strong music scene in her hometown of Philadelphia, it stands to reason that she didn't necessarily have to stop rapping, as everything is cyclical and she would earn another shot at grabbing the ears of potential listeners. Which is pretty much exactly what happened: Bahamadia parlayed her cameo appearances on tracks from The Roots, Talib Kweli, the Boogiemonsters, and, most surprisingly for anyone that hasn't paid attention, fellow Philly natives Jedi Mind Tricks into a deal with the independent label Good Vibe Recordings, who released her follow-up to Kollage, an EP entitled BB Queen, in 2000.
BB Queen received a mild amount of buzz on the Interweb: I remember people actually giving a shit that Bahamadia was attempting a comeback of sorts, even though those very same people didn't actually purchase Kollage, which caused this problem in the first place. For her part, Antonia decided that it dodn't make much sense to follow the original recipe, since the first time around didn't work out for her: on BB Queen, she shed all of her previous collaborators from Kollage (including Philly heroes The Roots, who are missed) and started from scratch, ending up with only an EP's worth of material, which begs the question: was this always designed to be an EP, or did Bahamadia lose steam halfway through the recording process?
The answer, I think, is found below.
Reissues of BB Queen contain a bonus remix of "One-4-Teen (Funky For You)" produced by the late J. Dilla, but that's not the version I have, so if you're familiar with the remix, leave your thoughts somewhere below.
The Cactus Revisited is, at its most basic level, a remix EP, consisting of six re-imaginations of album cuts (plus one b-side that eventually became a little bit more) guided by the likes of Prince Paul, Marley Marl, and 3rd Bass themselves. The group, made up of MC Serch, Prime Minister Pete Nice, and the long-forgotten-by-me-even-though-his-fucking-name-is-on-the-album-cover DJ Richie Rich, used this EP to tide fans over while they were getting their shit together for their sophomore (and, to date, final) album Derelicts Of Dialect, and, as a way to keep their name out in the world, Def Jam could have done much worse (and has, as you two all know).
3rd Bass has always come across as an anomaly in the rap game, and not just because the actual rappers in the group are two white guys: it's because they weren't playing to any specific gimmick and still became mildly popluar. Serch and Pete Nice opted to stand behind their actual lyrics, leaving the pop world to Vanilla Ice (who most people forget was technically their peer around this time in history) and the party atmosphere to their sworn enemies, the Beastie Boys (who are still far more entertaining and are the much better crew, but let's face it, Ad-Rock, Mike D., and the late MCA were never poetic wizards behind the mic). Their no-bullshit attitudes earned them respect within many circles, but they just weren't able to keep it together long enough to be able to actively participate in the golden age of hip hop.
Well, Serch kind of did, having discovered Nas and all, but that story's already been told.

Create Top Notch Vemma Marketing With These Amazing Ideas
Thinking about starting a career in network marketing can be an overwhelming task. But if you use the few tips and hints presented in this article about how to get started, you should have no problem getting your feet wet and working on starting a successful Vemma career.
Don't spend more than 15-20 minutes talking to applicants. It's enough time for both of you to size up each other and decide whether you can work with each other or not. The rest of the talking can be done by members of your team. They can teach the most important tricks to the new member while you can deal with more important issues.
In network marketing, when people ask a question, you should provide the information they're looking for. If you keep an index of topical information, people will see your website as a resource and continue to return time and time again. Keep your content fresh, useful, and plentiful, and you'll see a great rise in visitors.
Looking professional will allow you, as a network marketer, to seem like an expert and draw in new people. The key to successful network marketing is signing people up who are quality workers - they will draw in more people, creating a downline, which makes you a profit. If you want to draw people in, make them believe you are the king of your market.
Practice your network marketing spiel in front of a mirror. Do you look nervous? Do you sound like you're lying? If what you're saying is true, you should feel comfortable. If there is something that makes you look less than honest when you say it, then don't say that! Stick to the things that make you proud of your business.
People who do join in your network are undoubtedly going to have a lot of questions, so you will need to make yourself available to answer them. You can't shut yourself off from your network once they've handed over a little cash. As their network grows, so do your earnings. Always help them help you in every way you can.
If you're new to network marketing and don't yet have the profile to fall back on, there's nothing wrong with borrowing someone else's. Make sure you can identify and refer to leaders within your particular market who are doing well. Their reputation just might help you attract a larger network.
It's hard to feign concern in network marketing if you don't have it, so when a person approaches you with questions or complaints, they'll spot the fakeness if you're displaying it. You won't need to be overly compassionate to their plight, but you will have to take their concerns seriously so that you come across well.
By using the tips above and your Vemma review to start your network marketing career, you are taking the first step in becoming your own boss and a successful business owner. Just follow them one by one and you will be able to break this whole thing down into a more manageable and less confusing task.

We Believe the Bible is God's Truth
I preached this sermon on the 7th of January. More than the Bible just being truth, it is God's truth with power to tranform us into His image, to make us holy.
Text: 2 Timothy 3:14-4:5
Listen to these stories and see if you can catch the common thread.
The Taco Liberty Bell. In 1996 the Taco Bell Corporation announced that it had bought the Liberty Bell from the federal government and was renaming it the Taco Liberty Bell. Hundreds of outraged citizens called up the National Historic Park in Philadelphia where the bell is housed to express their anger. Their nerves were only calmed when Taco Bell revealed that it was all a practical joke a few hours later. The best line inspired by the affair came when White House press secretary Mike McCurry was asked about the sale, and he responded that the Lincoln Memorial had also been sold, though to a different corporation, and would now be known as the Ford Lincoln Mercury Memorial.
Swiss Spaghetti Harvest. In 1957 the respected BBC news show Panorama announced that thanks to a very mild winter and the virtual elimination of the dreaded spaghetti weevil, Swiss farmers were enjoying a bumper spaghetti crop. It accompanied this announcement with footage of Swiss peasants pulling strands of spaghetti down from trees. Huge numbers of viewers were taken in, and many called up wanting to know how they could grow their own spaghetti trees. To this question, the BBC diplomatically replied that they should "place a sprig of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best."
Sidd Finch. In its April 1985 edition, Sports Illustrated published a story about a new rookie pitcher who planned to play for the Mets. His name was Sidd Finch and he could reportedly throw a baseball with startling, pinpoint accuracy at 168 mph (65 mph faster than anyone else has ever been able to throw a ball). Surprisingly, Sidd Finch had never even played the game before. Instead, he had mastered the "art of the pitch" in a Tibetan monastery under the guidance of the "great poet-saint Lama Milaraspa." Mets fans everywhere celebrated at their teams's amazing luck at having found such a gifted player, and Sports Illustrated was flooded with requests for more information. But in reality this legendary player only existed in the imagination of the writer of the article, George Plimpton.
Instant Color TV. In 1962 there was only one TV channel in Sweden, and it broadcast in black and white. The station's technical expert, Kjell Stensson, appeared on the news to announce that thanks to a newly developed technology, all viewers could now quickly and easily convert their existing sets to display color reception. All they had to do was pull a nylon stocking over their TV screen, and they would begin to see their favorite shows in color. Stensson then proceeded to demonstrate the process. Reportedly, hundreds of thousands of people, out of the population of seven million, were taken in. Actual color TV transmission only commenced in Sweden on April 1, 1970.
Nixon For President. In 1992 National Public Radio's Talk of the Nation program announced that Richard Nixon, in a surprise move, was running for President again. His new campaign slogan was, "I didn't do anything wrong, and I won't do it again." Accompanying this announcement were audio clips of Nixon delivering his candidacy speech. Listeners responded viscerally to the announcement, flooding the show with calls expressing shock and outrage. Only during the second half of the show did the host John Hockenberry reveal that the announcement was a practical joke. Nixon's voice was impersonated by comedian Rich Little.
Left-Handed Whopper. In 1998 Burger King published a full page advertisement in USA Today announcing the introduction of a new item to their menu: a "Left-Handed Whopper" specially designed for the 32 million left-handed Americans. According to the advertisement, the new whopper included the same ingredients as the original Whopper (lettuce, tomato, hamburger patty, etc.), but all the condiments were rotated 180 degrees for the benefit of their left-handed customers. The following day Burger King issued a follow-up release revealing that although the Left-Handed Whopper was a hoax, thousands of customers had gone into restaurants to request the new sandwich. Simultaneously, according to the press release, "many others requested their own 'right handed' version."
Did you catch the main theme? I think you did. We can easily be deceived. Last Sunday we looked at a passage in Galatians that spoke of the heresy that church believed, and the importance of knowing what we believe. This Sunday we'll be looking at another situation in the New Testament where Christians were being deceived into believing one thing and acting differently.
The one question I have after reading these stories is, "What is the one thing that turned the situation around for those who had been deceived?" Truth. For us, that means an understanding that what the Bible says is true, and everything else is commentary. But when we say that God's Word is true, what does that mean? To get a better grasp at this concept, let's look at 2 Timothy 3:14-4:5.
It says, "But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
"In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry."
So, I'm going to share with you some of the background of this passage. And hopefully once we understand what is going on, we'll understand a little more about the truth of God's Word.
The Church in Ephesus
Paul is writing to a man named Timothy, a man he had traveled with and trusted. Paul was in chains in Rome, awaiting execution. And he had sent Timothy to Ephesus, the place the book of Ephesians was named after. In Ephesus at this time the church was in dire straits. There were many in the church who were following Paul's teachings about the gospel, about who Jesus was. And then there were those few loud people who disagreed. They wanted to be known as teachers and leaders in the church, but their teaching was far from orthodox. They denied a bodily resurrection, instead claiming that a spiritual resurrection had already taken place. They followed strict dietary laws and were ascetics, which means they believed all things physical, including one's body, were evil and all things spiritual were good.
These people also practiced magic, seduced women into leaving their husbands, and were concerned with earning money as a way to spiritual success. Basically, they wanted to teach good theology, but their lives didn't match up with their teaching. And in verse 13, Paul describes them as "evil men and impostors who go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived." Whether their intentions were good or bad, these people were deceiving people into believing they could talk one thing and live another. And this is serious stuff.
Paul's Command: Continue in What You've Learned
Paul commands Timothy to do two things in the face of this ongoing deception within the Ephesian church: Continue in what you have learned and preach the Word. Why are these two things important in light of the heresy? Timothy couldn't get caught up in the hype of these messed-up Christians. He had to stay focused on what he knew was true, and Paul was out to remind him of that. Paul wrote this letter to Timothy while he was in prison in Rome, shortly before he died. Timothy had been one of Paul's closest and most trusted friends. Paul had even sent Timothy to Ephesus to stem the tide of this growing perversion of Christianity. Paul and Timothy trusted one another. And just think: these are Paul's last words to him. Words that Timothy would remember more than any others. Words that Paul thought were significant enough to save until the very end. So, with Paul gone, Timothy's main source of encouragement and strength had to be the Word of God. It had to be the Word of God.
Paul basically gives Timothy 3 reasons why he should continue in what he has learned (the gospel of Christ). And the first is found in verse 14. "But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it."
The first reason Paul could exhort Timothy to do this was because of their trust and good relationship. If Paul had just been a Christian leader Timothy had heard about but never met, Timothy could easily have been skeptical. He could have decided there were better ways of dealing with the situation, like taking matters into his own hands and making a mess. Paul tells Timothy that he knows from whom he learned it…the gospel. He knows the people who taught him…Paul, along with Timothy's mother Eunice and grandmother Lois, who Paul speaks of in chapter 1:5.
It makes a real difference knowing and trusting your brothers and sisters in Christ. How often do you talk with someone else who's sitting in the pew next to you about a certain situation, get their advice, and follow it? Probably much more often than you do when you turn on INSP and hear a preacher give a message. Why is that the case? Because you know the people you're sitting with.
The second reason Paul could tell Timothy to preach and continue in what he learned is because Timothy has known the Holy Scripture since infancy. Not only does he know Paul, but he knows the Scripture. His mother was Jewish and his father was Greek. So he was taught Scripture by his mother just like any normal Jewish boy was. He knew Scripture inside and out, having memorized the Torah as a boy.
I just listed these two as separate points, separate reasons. But in reality, for Paul and for us, they must be combined. You cannot separate one from the other.
It's like the story of the woman who was cooking ham, and got to the part of the recipe that said, "Cut both ends off and stick in the oven for…" And she wondered, "Why do I need to cut the ends off?" So she called her mom, who had given her the recipe. "Mom, why do we cut the ends off the ham?" Her mom replied, "I don't know. That's just how my mom always did it." So she called her grandmother and asked the same question. "Oh, I only cut the ends off because my pan was too small to hold the whole ham." Sometimes we continue to do things because that's the way they've always been done. The woman trusted her mother, and so she followed the recipe, just like Timothy trusted Paul. But she assumed that because her mom said it, it must be true.
And here's the point: It's great that we trust people enough to listen to them. But sometimes people get it wrong, even unintentionally, and so we must go back to the source. We must go back to the Bible itself. Paul reminds Timothy that he has known Scripture since being a kid on mom's knee. Timothy not only had Paul as a witness to the truth of Scripture; he also had Scripture itself. And that's the key.
Too often we rely on other people to spoon-feed us God. We rely on the pastor to tell us everything we need to know. And God calls us to look for ourselves as well. Look for yourself, and listen to a group of Christians talk about Scripture. Don't only rely on their testimony; don't rely only on what you read.
If you rely on only one or the other, that's how cults get started. I just watched NUMB3RS last night. And they were tracking down a man who claimed to be sent by God as the true apostle. He formed a community where he kicked out all the males and slept with the women, saying salvation comes through marrying him. And he married 72 women. In the end, in a shootout with police, he killed his followers and let himself be captured.
The people that listened to that man alone became part of his cult. And that man listened only the Bible, misinterpreted it, and started a cult. You must have both together.
Timothy can preach the Word and listen to Paul because he knows Paul and he knows Scripture. The third reason he can do this is because of the characteristics of Scripture. Now most people like to quote verses 16-17 as a way of saying, "Scripture is totally accurate. God breathed it. We can trust it." And that's good. But they're using the wrong verses. Look closer at verse 15 with me. Paul describes Scripture as "holy." And the word he uses here is not the normal word used for holy. The normal word denotes being set apart by God, being sanctified. It's a word the Wesleyan Church emphasizes. But this word is different. This word is almost always translated "temple" in the NT. Jesus is at the temple clearing it out, the disciples preach there, you make sacrifices there. The temple. And what it literally means is "something filled with divine power when it's been consecrated to God." And that makes sense. Jews believed that God dwelt in the temple, in the Holy of Holies. But when Jesus died, the curtain separating the Holy of Holies from the rest of the temple was torn, symbolizing God's Holy Spirit going to dwell in men. And here Paul uses this word to describe Scripture as holy in the sense that God has filled it with divine power. God and His Holy Spirit bring to life these words.
We take this to mean that Scripture is inerrant. It is without error, inasmuch as the writers intended. And God speaks through these words to our hearts, to teach us, rebuke us, correct us, and train us in righteousness. We say God's word is true because we've seen the power it has to change us.
I could write an autobiography and have you read it. It would be true, but it wouldn't change you. You might laugh, might cry, might think, "What was he thinking?" but you won't be transformed. That's what makes the Bible different from any other book of truth: It's God's tranformational truth.
Part of being transformed into the image of God means we act like Him. Paul says that Scripture is useful for all these things in order to equip us for every good work. It teaches us who God is, it rebukes us and convicts us of our sin, it corrects us and straightens us out when we go off on tangents, and it trains us, just like a father trains his child to grow up to love God. And from all of this, we are then able to live like God has called us to live.
That was the issue for the people in Timothy's church. They wanted to teach some of the things in the Bible, but didn't want to live like it. Paul tells Timothy you cannot hold God's Word to be true and live like its not.
And that's the issue for us today. We can say we believe God's Word to be true, but unless we read it and allow God to meet us in the text, to shape us into righteous men and women, then the Bible is just another book.
What are some ways you know that God has transformed you, specifically because you read the Bible? How have you been equipped for good work? Do you know your spiritual gifts? Are you using them to build the kingdom?
If you can answer those questions with a "yes," continue in what you have learned. If not, start learning. Start reading the Bible. Pray and ask God to show you what He's trying to communicate. Pray that you would be open to His work in your life. He really wants to change you, and He wants to do it through His Word, His truthful Word.

I shall remember this next time my kids are bored. Rather than hide in the kitchen secretly trying to ring Barnardos to see if the will do a two for one offer on the pair of them, I'll give them the contents of the recycling box, scissors and sticky tape. I shall then lock the doors and run! By the time I return they will have created something amazing.

Great stuff! I totally agree about boredom - it did me no harm at all. I often wish Mums wouldn't cram every moment of their children's lives with activities, classes etc. It so often ends in rebellion too.

What wonderful creativity has evolved from boredom - your little man has made a Marble Bazaar masterpiece. I wonder which country he had in mind when he decided on using dinars - I think that there are several countries which use them as their currency.
I did comment before but it seems to have disappeared into blogosphere - may be this time I will be lucky.

That's such a heart warming post, he's really imaginative and talented. So many children never get the time to think, they're shuttled around from one activity to another and then 'baby sat' with electronic games.

That is so cool! Look at what little man created and just because he had nothing else to occupy his time with. What a wonderful creation! I think all kids should spend time using their imagination, creating things, reading and writing stories. There is so much kids can do to keep busy.
I loved marbles as a kid...I used to shoot them with the boys. We would pay for "keepsie's"...if you hit their marble they had to give it to you for keeps. I was always trying to win those large steely marbles. LOL Loved it and those "cat eye" marbles.

Last Friday (March 3, 2012), Tobias Leingruber issued IDs. The number was limited to 100. As expected one had to stand in line in order to get one, after all standing in line has at all times been an essential part of any interaction with administration.
Unlike other artists and activists before him, Tobias does not claim to start his own state and his critique is not aimed at the state as such, but at what he believes may replace the state some time soon: Facebook
In order to get an ID, a Facebook Account is required. It then shows the holder's FB user name, photo and the date he/she joined the social network.
The fascination (sometimes as fear, sometimes as hope) that the state may get replaced has been around for a while. In Snowcrash, Corporations that run gated communities with their own police take over some of the typical tasks of the state. In the late 90s Sealand made it on the cover of Wired when investors thought a micro state on a Maunsell Sea Fort would make a perfect base for hosting internet sites outside the reach of state legislation. Later MMOs emerged, some of them with veritable economies. In 1997 players of Ultima Online staged a protest in front of Lord Britsh's castle.
Unlike these examples, Facebook, if it became a state, were not a micro, but, with close to a billion users, a macro state. Facebook's stateliness derives from the knowledge it has about the it's users. Thinking of Facebook as a state is therefore in the best tradition of big brother paranoia and it seems like the artist himself was a bit paranoid about the capabilities and the power of Facebook. In the last moment Leingruber decided to change the title from "Facebook ID" to "Social Network ID", because he was afraid of getting into trouble and facing lawsuits. The fact that Facebook does not yet have it's own legislation and courts was apparently not reassuring. Unfortunately the otherwise smart intervention unnecessarily suffered form the artist's confused anticipatory obedience to a degree that almost makes it worthless as a work of art and quite useless as a form of activism.
1. In case of a law suite the amount of dispute after handing out 100 free ID cards with a Facebook Logo would be quite low (certainly lower than the sum sympathizers would donate within hours after such a lawsuit becomes public)
2. The intervention took place in Germany. Place of jurisdiction is therefore Germany.
3. According to German law, it should be very difficult for Facebook to claim violation of intellectual property, let alone damage of reputation, because artistic freedom to address a topic of public interest will certainly be valued higher than Facebook's claims.
4. If Facebook was stupid enough to sue the organizer of such an intervention, it would create the kind of publicity artists and activists can only hope for.
Update: Whether the cease-of-desist letter that Facebook allegedly sent Leingruber is a hoax or not makes little difference. If Facebook actually sent the letter, it just shows that Leingruber got enough attention for Facebook to hear about it (and of course that FB's lawyers are clueless). If it's a hoax, it is only an attempt to make the best of the situations as it is now, but it is besides the point and dilutes what could have been an elegant piece.

Michael Clarke can't wait to return to international cricket, with the Australian captain declaring himself fully recovered from the hamstring injury which sidelined him for a month.
Clarke missed all of Australia's five-match one-day campaign in the Caribbean last month, only returning to action in this week's three-day tour match against a WICB President's XI in Barbados.
The 30-year-old made 30 and 4 in his two innings in the eight-wicket win and while he conceded he would have liked more time in the middle, Clarke is just looking forward to leading Australia onto the field in Saturday's first Test against the West Indies at Kensington Oval.
"My body feels fine, I'm looking forward to getting back out there to be honest," Clarke told reporters.
"Missing the five one-dayers was quite hard at home watching on the television. I'm not a good watcher at the best of times.
"I'm excited to be back out there. I felt like I hit the ball pretty sweet in the first innings (of the tour match). Like all batsmen I would have liked to make some more runs, I'd like to still be batting now.
"Hopefully I've saved a few for this first Test match."
Clarke and the rest of Australia's selectors confirmed a squad of 12 for the first Test on Friday with fast bowler Mitch Starc, batsman Peter Forrest, spinner Michael Beer and wicketkeeper Peter Nevill the players to miss out on the match.
The final XI won't be named until the toss but young Victorian paceman James Pattinson appears the man most likely to miss out with Ryan Harris likely to beat the 21-year-old for the final place in Australia's three-man pace attack alongside Peter Siddle and Ben Hilfenhaus.
The first Test begins at 10am Saturday (0000 Sunday AEST).

"I guess we can both be sure that we aren't the mother of this piece of delicious cake," remarked Jacob.
"Agreed," Trish agreed, as she smoothed the long folds of her bright Sunday school dress. "How shall we divide it?"
"Why don't I divide it," said Jacob. "Boys are better able to divide cake than girls."
"Very well," said Trish, "but I get to choose first which piece to take. Girls are better at choosing pieces of cake than boys."
Jacob, who couldn't quite believe his luck, quickly said, "Why, of course, that makes perfect sense!"
Whatever might be said about the relative skills of boys and girls, you can be sure Trish is no saint and that she prefers larger to smaller pieces of chocolate cake.

Conn Wonder Mellophone
Date: 1900. Owner unknown
A "Wonder" mellophone from 1900. These mellophones had many different options: they could be tuned in either F, Eb, D or C and low pitch or high pitch. In total 8 tuning options! All this was done using different mouthpipe slides for F, Eb, D or C and a separate set of slides for high pitch and low pitch. Judging from this picture and a Conn ad I have seen for this model, the pictured instrument is configured for Eb and low pitch. They were in production between at least 1900 and 1915.

Welcome to our nature paradise
Krumhuk Farm lies 25km to the south of Windhoek, Namibia. Its terrain consists of some 8000 ha of upland savannah in the middle of the Khomas region. Here you can experience numerous wild animals in their natural habitat – oryx, kudu, springbok, Hartmann's zebra, warthogs, wildcats, abundant bird-life – and those are just the most obvious ones.
Nestling in the pristine savannah of Krumhuk Farm are the three spacious Sarima Guesthouses. Here you have the perfect opportunity to relax, go for walks, and get to know the diverse animal-life of the bush. Krumhuk is also a suitable base from which to explore Windhoek and its surroundings.
There are two things that make Krumhuk Farm stand out as something special in Namibia. One is that it is run on bio-dynamic principles, and the other is that it is home to a multi-cultural community of some 80 people.
The farm has its own stall at the weekly GreenMarket in Klein-Windhoek, and here its products are on sale every Saturday from 8.00 to 12.00. Its Arts and Crafts products can be bought at the farm or at selected tourist outlets in Windhoek.

COST: $175 Per week includes all materials.
During the summer morning camp we will focus on a single area of art and create artwork portraying what we have learned. These classes are for children ages 6-10 (possibly 11&12) who are serious about their artwork and would like to spend their mornings creating in an intimate studio setting with friends. We will be learning techniques and skills in each area that they will be able to use beyond the class. We will also have a lot of fun. Sign ups are per week and you may sign your child up for as many or few weeks as you like. If you would like to sign up your child, please email me and I will send you a sign up form (theredbowstudio at gmail). There is a $50 deposit per student to reserve a space per class.
