Two vehicles in Delhi with even (l) and odd license plates.
A collective Delhi succeeded in lowering its air pollution. The means was the implementation of an odd-even scheme of car rationing on its roads, promulgated from January 1st for a total of 15 days by the government of Aam Admi Party led by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, writes Priyanka Bhardwaj. (@Siliconeer, #Siliconeer, #Delhi, #OddEvenScheme, #DelhiAirPollutionControl, #ArvindKejriwal, #AAP, #AamAadmiParty, #narendramodi, #UniversityofChicago, #HarvardUniversity)
According to this rule only odd numbered private four wheelers could ply on odd days and even numbered ones on even days.
The scheme was not in force on Sundays and was relaxed for cars driven and occupied by females only.
Proving the point on bettering of air quality is the study by the green body, Center for Science and Environment, immediately after the rationing experiment.
Analysis showed that on the first day after the scheme fine particulate matter was at PM 2.5 which means a rise of more than 57 percent.
This jump in pollution evidently proves that any gains from the odd-even attempt stand to be lost if any contributory factors such as cold weather, lower wind speed and western disturbance come into play, thereby necessitating the quick implementation of emergency measures which include diversion of goods traffic, closure of the coal-based Badarpur Power Plant, introduction of more walking and cycling facilities, induction of more public transport vehicles and perhaps a second attempt at a revised road rationing scheme.
Another study on air quality during the first two weeks of the month, by a team of researchers from the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago and Evidence for Policy Design group at Harvard University, too support the scheme as pollution concentrations indeed reduced by about ten to thirteen percent for those 15 days.
Furthermore, a survey carried out by the Department of Transport Planning, School of Planning and Architecture (SPA) experiment has thrown some light on a significant reduction in travel time across some of the most congested stretches in the National Capital Region as traffic volumes during morning peak hours reduced from 8-16 percent.
However successful the experiment was if comparative studies are anything to go by the average journey speed in the city during the trial period was still on the higher side vis-a-vis other cities across the world.
In London, Berlin and Paris it stands at 19 kmph, 24 kmph and 31 kmph respectively.
Therefore, considering that car ownership makes for an essential emotional acquisition and a status marker for the middle class heavy city there is bound to be 8 to 10 percent rise in traffic volumes in a year and in this situation the odd-even experiment would accrue benefits for not more than two years.
Queerly the central ruling political party, the Bharatiya Janata Party, and to some extent the opposition party, Congress were too bewildered to throw up their counter narratives to muster a mass dissension.
It is a known fact that the BJP still enjoys a significant support base, 32.3 percent vote share, especially among the city's middle class while the AAP has come to wield the power baton riding on the strength of the two-wheeler-owning voter base.
And despite the disillusionment of the middle classes the BJP failed to outflank Kejriwal and there was about cent percent compliance as 2,000,000 cars on an average plied on the city-roads in the 15 days and only 100-500 violations were issued.
To his credit Kejriwal ensured ad-campaigns and a seemingly consultative approach with every stakeholder translated into widespread participation as none and no political party wanted to appear politically incorrect on the issue of pollution.
In a major boost to Kejriwal's efforts a Bench led by Chief Justice T.S. Thakur said the pilot project had to be promoted and even Supreme Court judges had did their bit by carpooling amongst themselves.
Interestingly, the scheme has opened a business frontier for taxi aggregators' shared car services and major firms such as Uber and Ola are into a price war of sorts to woo the office going commuters who had been availing their services on alternate days.
If hiring a shared car service such as UberPool across Delhi NCR is down to as low as Rs.5 a kilometer (25 percent reduction), Ola cabs, a rival to Uber, has also brought down its fares by Rs.49 for four kilometers.
Giving in to demands for a second attempt at the experiment Delhi's Transport Minister, Gopal Rai has said that his government intends to implement a revised odd-even scheme by March along with introduction of 3,000 buses by the end of the year.
Sources in the government say that the scheme did not come cheap.
Out of the Rs. 0.2 billion kitty Rs. 0.14 billion went for hiring 1,200 private buses so as to augment public transport and the rest was expended on recruiting hiring civil defense volunteers who manned roads and handed flowers to encourage citizens to follow the odd-even rule.
Additional outlays of Rs. 0.08 billion accounted for expenditure on advertisements, pre-event promotion and thanksgiving advertisements.
Kejriwal may be commended for trying out a new experiment that may be a success in the short term but since cars make up for just about 10 percent of the pollution emitters in the city more creative policy measures may need to be adopted and in this crowd-sourcing of newer ideas may have a vital role to play.

St. Paul knows he is about to die. He is not concerned with himself. He had long ago repented of all sin and abandoned himself into God's loving hands. Paul is concerned that his followers remain grounded in the truth. He wants them to guard themselves and others against those savage wolves who will try to lead his flock astray with false teaching after he dies (Acts 20:28-30).
Jesus is about to die. He is not concerned with Himself, having daily abandoned Himself into His Father's loving hands. Jesus is concerned that His followers remain grounded in the truth (Jn 17:17, 19). He wants His followers to guard themselves and others (Jn 17:12, 15) against those savage wolves who will try to lead His flock astray with false teaching after He dies (Jn 10:5, 8, 12).
What would be your reaction if the Lord prophesied to you: "Put your house in order, for you are about to die" (Is 38:1). What would you be concerned about? Would your mind be focused on yourself? Or would you immediately be occupied with your loved ones and those to whom you have ministered the Good News of Jesus by word and deed? Would you be concerned that they would remain in the truth and be able to stand strong in faith?
Put your life immediately in the hands of God. Repent! Ask Jesus to give you a shepherd's heart (1 Pt 5:2). Feed God's sheep (Jn 21:17) and lead them to Jesus.
|Father, may our hearts be occupied with what pleases Jesus rather than pleasing ourselves (Phil 2:19-21).
|"He gives power and strength to His people." Ps 68:36

aded the sidewalk; as we stepped into the small vestibule of Sheba's, we were submerged by the unequivocal musical trademark of none other than our talented Jacky Ambroise and his group Strings.It was a night of flamenco tropical, spiced with Haitian flavor, during which even the most bashful found themselves swaying to this stirring rhythm; such, so well mastered by Jacky and his colleagues, in a style second to none.After setting the crowd ablaze for nearly two hours, it was time to give way to a more subtle, yet equally vibrant sound. Indeed, the moment had arrived to yield the limelight to Mushy Widmaier, who would bring us a delightful hour of jazz. Teamed with his brother, Joel, the pair knew no limits: melody after melody they revived our most dormant musical senses. With the interpretation of a few selections from his latest CD "My Love", Mushy virtually led some of us to a jazz euphoria, hard to put into words…undoubtedly scrumptious, to say the least!Determined to end the soirée with a bang, Strings once more took the stage and enchanted us with its music. With a mixture of joy and nostalgia, a former member of the original group, Philippe Augustin, joined them on the podium; this, to many, brought back tremendous reminiscences. Through his base guitar, he spouted profusely harmonic responses to the distinctive notes of Jacky's own, ultimately making this event "a night to remember". Alas, as all good things must come to an end, thus came time to say farewell…to Jacky, Mushy, Joel, and their support group…to our friends and acquaintances…until granted the privilege to meet again for another exciting night!

There are so many things on the table in this year's election. I don't think Aaron Sorkin himself could have written a better storyline. Ours is a nation divided, and the stakes could not be higher.
Ask anyone who knows me and they'll tell you I'm an impassioned liberal Democrat who uses social media to editorialize, share links and facts, promote TRUTH, and generally add to the discourse with humor, photos and whatever else is relevant. Over the last few weeks, however, my online interaction has landed me embroiled in some gnarly Twitter and Facebook debates with friends/followers who don't believe such platforms are appropriate for political discussion.
I couldn't disagree more.
What – you thought Facebook was just for pictures of babies, updates about epic soufflé recipe fails and witty someEcards? Sure, we love to see those things. They're topical. Lighthearted. Cute. But really, given how much time we spend on these networks each day, shouldn't we actually drop some real knowledge on one another? Share real, scalable content? Isn't that where the power really lies? Don't get me wrong, Facebook friends… I love seeing the pics you post and the funny, innocuous commentary. This is how we stay in touch for the most part — how we stay "connected". After all, between family obligations, work obligations, Real Housewives obligations, I really do cherish the time I get to spend perusing your goings-on and such. So please, bear with me
I am simply making the case that social media is ALSO the place for us to post interesting, relevant political content. It's called engagement. It's called helping ensure that we all remain informed so that we can make our own evaluations and decisions! Really, shouldn't it be all our responsibilities to make sure that "low information voters" become "information voters?"
Look, I didn't friend you on Facebook just so I can photo stalk you (although I like to do that too). No, I friended you on Facebook because I'm interested in hearing what you have to say. And the great thing about Facebook, and Twitter? It's opt-in or opt-out at your convenience! You don't like hearing about how Jennifer's potty training is going? Hide her mommy's statuses. You don't want to see any more pictures of cats using the words "iz" and "cheezeburger?" Hide 'em! Block 'em! Unfriend 'em!
But don't — DON'T make me feel guilty for posting my political beliefs, my opinions, or sharing FACTS within my networks. And ladies, I'm talking to you! It's bad enough Republicans want to take away all of our other rights, like our right to equal pay, or our right to birth control, or our right to make decisions for our bodies that we have already fought (hard) and won (fairly) for the rights to. I don't want to have to fight for my right to party politically on Twitter or Facebook too. That's just not cool.
Listen, I love a cat video as much as the next person, and I love knowing that my friends and followers have senses of humor and soft spots. So keep 'em coming. But the next time you get uncomfortable reading about my strong political convictions, consider exploring why you feel such discomfort. Do it for your mom, your sister, your gay friend, your daughter, your BFF, your grandmother. Do it for yourself. Explore that unease. You may find it comes from a natural fear of having your rights threatened. Which they are.
And whatever you do, whatever you believe in, whichever candidate you stand behind, ROCK YOUR VOTE on November 6th! It's our inalienable right, our obligation as citizens, and in an election this critical, every vote counts.

Preheat oven to 400F
Mix dry ingredients in one bowl:
- 1 3/4c Cornmeal
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp sugar (optional)
In a separate bowl:
- Whisk 2 eggs until foamy
- Whisk in 2 c plain yogurt (I used nonfat)
Stir the dry ingredients in to the wet ingredients and add one finely chopped jalapeño (I included the seeds). You can also mix in a cup of finely grated cheese, but I haven't tried that version yet.
Line muffin tin with papers, or oil the tin, distribute batter evenly. bake for approximately 17 minutes (until toothpick/knife comes out clean)
These muffins are very fluffy because of the yogurt in the mixture, the jalapeño adds a delicious bite.

"There is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him" (1 Corinthians 8:6).
We do not exist for ourselves—we exist for the Father and through the Son. The world tells us that we derive our existence from it and that we should live for ourselves, but the Word teaches us that all we are and have comes from the Father who formed us for His pleasure and purposes.
Ultimate reality is not the cosmos or a mysterious force, but an infinite and loving Person. The implications of this, if we think about it, are astounding and pervasive. The infinite-personal Lord of all is an unbounded loving community of three timeless and perfect Persons. In the superabundance of His joy and life, He is at once solitude and society, the one and the many, supernal being as communion. The magnificent God who abounds in personal plenitude has no needs, yet He invites us to participate in the intense and interpenetrating life of the three eternally subsistent Selves. Jesus prayed on our behalf "that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us . . . . I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me" (John 17:21, 23). The impenetrable mystery of us being in the divine Us, and the divine Us being in us transcends our imagination, but if it is true, all else pales in comparison.
Devotional spirituality revels in the glorious attributes of God and aspires to lay hold of God's aspiration for us. It prepares our souls for the "mystic sweet communion" of living entirely in God and in one another as the three Persons of God eternally live and rejoice in One another. It instills in us a passion for Christ's indwelling life and inspires us to swim in the river of torrential love that flows from His throne of grace.
In 1677, Henry Scougal observed in his little book, The Life of God in the Soul of Man that "The worth and excellency of a soul is to be measured by the object of its love." Our souls become emaciated when their pleasure is affixed to position, possessions, and power, because these things are destined to corrupt and perish. But as we gradually (and often painfully) transfer our affections from the created and finite world to the uncreated and infinite Maker of the world, our souls become great and glorious. As we take the risk of seeking God's pleasure above our own, we discover the ironic byproduct of a greater satisfaction and contentment than if we sought these things as ends in themselves. As we learn to fix our eyes on Jesus, not for His benefits but for Himself, we find that we have all things in Him.
Scripture teaches us that we steadily become conformed to what we most love and admire. Hosea declared that the people of Israel "became as detestable as that which they loved" (Hosea 9:10). But when we turn the focus of our love away from the idols of this world system to the beauty of Christ, we discover the liberty of the Spirit of the Lord. We become like our focus; as we behold the glory of the Lord, we are being "transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit" (2 Corinthians 3:18). We gradually come to resemble what we worship. If our heart's desire is fixed on something in this world, it becomes idolatrous and soul-corrupting. But if we draw our life from loving communion with the caring, radiant, majestic, and unfathomable Being who formed us for Himself, our souls become noble as they grow in conformity to His character.
God in His inner essence is a mystery beyond our comprehension; we will never know Him as He knows Himself. The great pilgrims along the way have discovered that progress from superficial to substantive apprehension of God is not so much a movement from darkness to light as it is a plummeting into the ever-increasing profundity of the cloud of unknowing. Kallistos Ware in The Orthodox Way distinguishes the essence of God and the energies of God. In His essence, God is radically transcendent, but in His energies, He is immanent and omnipresent. As Ware notes, "The Godhead is simple and indivisible, and has no parts. The essence signifies the whole God as he is in himself; the energies signify the whole God as he is in action. God in his entirety is completely present in each of his divine energies." As we reflect on God's revelatory actions, we come to know Him more clearly, and this enables us to love Him more dearly, and to follow Him more nearly. God makes Himself known to us through His world, His word, His works, and His ways.
"The heavens are telling of the glory of God; and their expanse is declaring the work of His hands" (Psalm 19:1). "O Lord, how many are Your works! In wisdom You have made them all; the earth is full of Your possessions" (Psalm 104:24). Read Psalm 19:1-6 and Psalms 104 and 148 carefully and prayerfully and you will be struck by the manifold ways in which God designed the heavens and earth to display His glory, wisdom, and greatness.
Meditation on the created order is too often neglected as a meaningful component of devotional spirituality. This is unfortunate, because creation abounds with resplendent wonders on every order of magnitude from the microcosm to the macrocosm that point beyond themselves to the beauty and unimaginable brilliance of the Creator of the cosmos. Consider these marvels of order and design: particles and atoms, light and colors, microbes and diatoms, snowflakes, insects, seeds, flowers, leaves, shells, rocks and minerals, fruits, vegetables, plants, small and large birds, small and large fish, whales, small and large animals, trees, mountains, clouds, weather, the seasons, our earth, the planets, stars, nebulae, our galaxy, clusters and superclusters of galaxies.
"You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother's womb. I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; wonderful are Your works, and my soul knows it very well" (Psalm 139:13-14). Of all God's created works, the human body best displays God's creative skill and design. I recommend two books that will help you worship God by reflecting on the marvels of the human and spiritual body: Fearfully & Wonderfully Made and In His Image by Dr. Paul Brand and Philip Yancey. These books portray the way physical systems like cells, bone, skin, motion, blood, the head, and the sensation of pain teach spiritual truth.
Let me mention two things that have helped me love God through His world. The first is an occasional trip to special places where I am encompassed in the natural order. In such places I sometimes sit back and stare at the stars until I realize that I am no longer looking up, but also down, and that I am wholly enveloped by the splendor and grandeur of the heavens. An experience like this is humbling because it dramatically shifts my perspective and reminds me that apart from God and His grace, I am nothing. I gain a similar sense of awe by looking at recent photographs of star clouds and distant galaxies. The veritable explosion in scientific knowledge in our time gives us access to new avenues of appreciating God that were never before available.
The second thing I use to stimulate wonder is a set of field lenses and a miniature high intensity flashlight. I use this "nature kit" from time to time to observe otherwise invisible colors and patterns in flowers, insects, rocks, and so forth. The very act of slowing down enough to observe and appreciate the rich intricacy and diversity of the created order is a healthy exercise in recollection and renewal.
There is no limit to the images and insights that can be gleaned from nature if we take the time and have the eyes to see. We would do well to cultivate a childlike sense of amazement and awe at the things we tend to overlook every day. Our artificial environments and busy schedules make us forget that we are surrounded by mystery and majesty. I encourage you to make the effort to enjoy more frequent and deliberate contact with God's creation and to develop a deeper appreciation for the complexity, beauty, and resplendence of the heavens and earth. As you do this, you will sense that the God who designed all this and spoke it into being is utterly competent, trustworthy, and lovable.
"Open my eyes, that I may behold wonderful things from Your law" (Psalm 119:18). The Word of God restores the soul, imparts wisdom, rejoices the heart, enlightens the eyes, reveals God's righteousness, and endures forever (Psalm 19:7-9). Scripture was revealed not merely to inform us, but to transform us. In Shaped by the Word, M. Robert Mulholland, Jr. contrasts two approaches to Scripture:
Seeks to cover as much as possible
Focuses on small portions
A linear process
An in-depth process
Seeks to master the text
Allows the text to master us
The text as an object to use
The text as a subject that shapes us
Analytical, critical, and judgmental approach
Humble, detached, willing, loving approach
Problem-solving mentality
Openness to mystery
There is an important place for informational reading of Scripture and for exegetical and topical methods of Bible study. But those who approach Scripture in this way often overlook the formational approach that centers on speaking to the heart more than informing the mind. The Bible is not merely an object, but a divinely inspired oracle that is "living and active" (Hebrews 4:12) and has the power to transform those who receive it in humility and obedience (James 1:21-22). Devotional spirituality stresses the formative power of revealed truth and encourages us to love God through His Word. We will look at a time-tested method of doing this in the pages ahead.
Say to God, "How awesome are Your works!"
Come and see the works of God,
Who is awesome in His deeds toward the sons of men.
I shall remember the deeds of the Lord;
Surely I will remember Your wonders of old.
I will meditate on all Your work
And muse on Your deeds.
You are the God who works wonders;
You have made known Your strength among the peoples.
You have by Your power redeemed Your people.
(Psalm 66:3, 5; 77:11-12, 14-15)
The psalmists frequently reviewed and reflected upon God's historical acts of redemption, protection, and provision. Both testaments abound with accounts of how God has worked in specific and dramatic ways in the lives of people and in the destiny of nations. He has demonstrated His just and loving purposes in the arena of human history, and prayerful consideration of His mighty works of creation, redemption, and consummation is another way of enhancing our worship and devotion for the triune Godhead.
"Worthy are You, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and because of Your will they existed, and were created. . . . Worthy are You to take the book and to break its seals; for You were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God; and they will reign upon the earth. . . . Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing. . . . To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, be blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever" (Revelation 4:11; 5:9-10, 12-13).
"He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the sons of Israel" (Psalm 103:7). Moses not only knew the Lord through His works, but he also knew and loved the Lord through His ways. God's ways concern His personal involvement in our lives and our experiences of His peace, power, provision, protection, compassion, and care. It is good to build a personal "history" of God's providential care by reviewing and remembering the things He has done at various points along your spiritual journey. Remember His surprising answers to prayer, the way He drew you to Himself, the way He carried you through turbulent waters, the way He provided for your needs when circumstances looked hopeless, the way He encouraged and comforted you in your distress, the way He exhorted you through others and disciplined you for your good, and the way He seeks to strip you of your hope in the things of this world so that you will learn to hope only in Him.
Come and hear, all who fear God,
And I will tell of what He has done for my soul.
Certainly God has heard;
He has given heed to the voice of my prayer.
Blessed be God,
Who has not turned away my prayer
Nor His lovingkindness from me.
Your way, O God, is holy;
What god is great like our God?
(Psalm 66:16, 19-20; 77:13)
"I will tell of what He has done for my soul." Grateful reflection on what God has done for your soul is a vital component of devotional spirituality.
God's ways also relate to the multifaceted attributes of His person, powers, and perfections. Since our capacity to love God is related to our image of God, we do well to pray for the grace of growing apprehension of the glories of His attributes: His unlimited power, presence, and knowledge; His holiness, justice, goodness, truthfulness, and righteousness; His goodness, grace, compassion, mercy, and love; His beauty, glory, greatness, transcendent majesty, and dominion; and His self-existence, eternity, infinity, and immutability. As Dallas Willard puts it in The Divine Conspiracy, God is "an interlocking community of magnificent persons, completely self-sufficing and with no meaningful limits on goodness and power." He is the absolute answer to the perennial quest for the true, the good, and the beautiful.
The ancient art of sacred reading (lectio divina) centers on loving God through His word. It was introduced to the West by the Eastern desert father John Cassian early in the fifth century. The sixth-century Rule of St. Benedict that guided Benedictine and Cistercian monastic practice ever since, prescribed daily periods for sacred reading. In spite of the simplicity and power of this method of praying through sacred Scripture, it gradually fell into disuse and obscurity. Unfortunately, by the end of the Middle Ages it came to be seen as a method that should be restricted to the spiritually elite. As time passed, even monastics lost the simplicity of sacred reading as it was replaced by more complicated systems and forms of "mental prayer." In recent decades, however, this ancient practice has been revitalized, especially by those in the Cistercian tradition. Writers like Thomas Merton (Contemplative Prayer, New Seeds of Contemplation, Spiritual Direction & Meditation), Thomas Keating (Open Mind, Open Heart), Michael Casey (Sacred Reading, Toward God, The Undivided Heart), and Thelma Hall (Too Deep for Words) have been promoting sacred reading in Catholic circles, and Protestants are now being exposed to this approach as well. Lectio divina involves a progression through the four movements of reading, meditation, prayer, and contemplation.
In his study of monastic culture, The Love of Learning and the Desire for God, Jean Leclercq distinguished two distinct approaches to Scripture that were used in the Middle Ages. While Medieval universities were urban schools that prepared clerics for the active life, rural monasteries focused on spiritual formation within a liturgical framework to equip monks for the contemplative life. The scholastics approached Scripture by focusing on the page of sacred text (sacra pagina) as an object to be studied and investigated by putting questions to the text (quaestio) and by questioning oneself with the subject matter (disputatio). By contrast, the monastics approached Scripture through a personal orientation of meditation (meditatio) and prayer (oratio). While the scholastics sought science and knowledge in the text, the monastics sought wisdom and appreciation. Those in the schools were more oriented to the objective, the theological, and the cognitive; those in the cloisters were more oriented to the subjective, the devotional, and the affective.
Most contemporary approaches to Bible study have more in common with the scholastics than with the monastics. Recalling a distinction we made earlier, they are more concerned with informational reading than with formational reading. There is a legitimate need for both approaches, since an overemphasis on one or the other can lead to the extremes of cold intellectualism or mindless enthusiasm. But when evangelicals study Scripture, they typically look more for precepts and principles than for an encounter with God in the depths of their being. The practice of lectio divina can correct this lack of balance, because it stresses the reading of Scripture for spiritual formation through receptive openness to God's loving call of grace. Lectio is not an intellectual exercise that seeks to control and to gather information, but a voluntary immersion in the Word of God that seeks to receive and to respond. Spiritual reading melds revelation with experience. It is done in the spirit of the collect for the second Sunday in Advent in the 1928 Book of Common Prayer:
Blessed Lord, who hast caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning; Grant that we may in such wise hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them, that by patience and comfort of thy holy Word, we may embrace, and ever hold fast, the blessed hope of everlasting life, which thou hast given us in our Saviour Jesus Christ.
May we learn to hear the holy Scriptures and to "read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest" them.
As you move from reading to meditation, you are seeking to saturate and immerse yourself in the Word, to luxuriate in its living waters, and to receive the words as an intimate and personal message from God. The purpose of meditation is to penetrate the Scriptures and to let them penetrate us through the loving gaze of the heart. The term "mental prayer" is often associated with meditation, but this could be misleading, since lectio, meditatio, and oratio involve not only the mind, but also the heart. Meditation attunes the inward self to the Holy Spirit so that our hearts harmonize and resonate with His voice. Meditation is a spiritual work of holy desire and an interior invitation for the Spirit to pray and speak within us (Romans 8:26-27) in such a way that our whole being is transformed into greater conformity with Jesus Christ. It is an intentional process of building our passion for Christ by meeting with Him and spending time with Him to know Him more clearly, to love Him more dearly, and to follow Him more nearly. By meditating on God's truth, we are inviting Christ to be formed in us (Galatians 4:19) by a deliberate dwelling on His words. Thus, mental prayer should not be seen as an abstract exercise but as a vital vehicle for the metamorphosis of the soul.
"This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success" (Joshua 1:8). This familiar verse tells us that the path to success as God defines it is the habit of making space in our lives to meet with God in His holy Word with a heart intention to apply what He reveals through obedient action. Only those who delight in God's Word and habitually meditate on it (Psalm 1:2) will experience the fullness and stability of God's purpose and calling. May you be one of them.
The discipline of prayer is usually associated with a personal dialogue (colloquy) with God, though the majority of our prayers appear to be petitionary monologues. In lectio divina, prayer is specifically related to the two prior movements of sacred reading and meditation on the text. Oratio is the fruit of meditatio, and it is the way in which we "interiorize" what God has spoken to us through the passage. The transition from meditation to prayer may be subtle or unnoticed, but it is a response of the heart to what has been largely occupying the mind. It is a movement from truth to implication, from hearing to acknowledgment, from understanding to obedience.
Depending on how the "living and active" word is shaping us (Hebrews 4:12), this period of prayer can be sweet and consoling, or it can be painful and revealing. The two-edged sword of the Spirit has a way of exposing the thoughts and intentions of the heart, and when our selfish, distorted, and manipulative strategies are "open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do" (Hebrews 4:13), oratio becomes a time for compunction, confession, and repentance. When the soul is exposed and we see our interior and exterior lives more as God sees them, this experience can be both devastating (in light of God's holiness) and exhilarating (in light of God's forgiveness and compassion). At other times, we may be gripped by the power of spiritual truth (e.g., the kindness and love of the Father, the grace and faithfulness of the Son, the fellowship and presence of the Spirit) and respond in adoration or thanksgiving. Oratio is a time for participation in the interpenetrating subjectivity of the Trinity through prolonged mutual presence and growing identification with the life of Christ.
Some who use the term lectio divina limit it primarily to slow, careful, and prayerful reading of a biblical passage, book, or other spiritual text rather than the whole movement from reading to meditation to prayer to contemplation. As I see it, however, the process of lectio divina should begin with reading and culminate in contemplation. Contemplation is often confused with meditation, but as we will see, they are not synonymous.
Meditation and the prayer that flows out of it bring us into communication with the living and transcendent Lord, and as such, they prepare us for contemplation. Meditative prayer should be more than an intellectual exercise; when it is accompanied by affective intention it leads to the love and communion of contemplative prayer. Because of its very nature, it is notoriously difficult to communicate the characteristics of contemplative prayer. It is a mysterious territory in which the language is silence and the action is receptivity. True contemplation is a theological grace that cannot be reduced to logical, psychological, or aesthetic categories. Perhaps these general contrasts between meditative and contemplative prayer will help:
Discursive thought
Loss of mental images and concepts
Vocal and mental prayer
Wordless prayer and interior stillness
Natural faculties of reason and imagination
Mysterious darkening of the natural faculties
Affective feelings
Loss of feelings
Reading and reflection
Inability to meditate
Talking to Jesus
Entering into the prayer of Jesus
When he witnessed the miracle of the transfiguration of Jesus on the holy mountain, the awe-struck Peter inappropriately broke into speech and was silenced by the voice out of the cloud that said, "This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased; listen to Him!" (Matthew 17:4-5). When we enter into the numinous territory of contemplation, it is best for us to stop talking and "listen to Him" in simple and loving attentiveness. In this strange and holy land we must remove the sandals of our ideas, constructs, and inclinations, and quietly listen for the voice of God. Periods of contemplation can be little "dark nights of faith." During these times, God may seem absent and silent, but His presence and speech is on a deeper level than what we can feel or understand. By preparing a peaceful place in the soul we learn to "Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him" (Psalm 37:7).
A number of people have been exposed to aspects of contemplative prayer through "centering prayer," a practice that was recently revived and updated by three Cistercian monks, Thomas Keating, William Meninger, and Basil Pennington. This method of prayer is based on the 14th-century classic of mystical theology, The Cloud of Unknowing. Another approach to contemplative prayer is the "prayer of the heart" that is described in the Philokalia, an anthology of quotations from Eastern monastic Fathers from the third century to the Middle Ages. In this tradition, the invocation of the name of the Lord Jesus is used to create a state of receptivity and interior recollection of the presence of God.
My colleague George Grove uses the following set of analogies to integrate the four components of sacred reading:
Lectio divina engages the whole person from the physical to the psychological to the inward spiritual center of our being. It promotes a harmonious unity through an organic process that uses a variety of means. Fidelity and consistency in this long-term activity will gradually enhance and enrich your life.
The polarity between the contemplative life and the active life has been a source of tension for many centuries. St. Gregory advocated a more contemplative approach to prayer as rest from exterior action in the quest for communion with God. St. Basil promoted a more active approach to prayer in association with work. Carried too far, the contemplative extreme could divorce our primary calling to know God from our secondary calling to express this knowledge in the world. On the other hand, the active extreme tends to elevate our secondary calling of work to the point of replacing our primary calling. A more balanced approach integrates and honors both callings and unites the contemplative and active vocations. St. Benedict encouraged this blended rhythm of rest and action, interior aspiration and exterior obedience, devotion and discipline, prayer and labor, desire for God and service of neighbor, the spring of living water and the stream that flows out of it. By uniting the strengths of both Mary and Martha, we can learn to be contemplatives in action.
Devotional spirituality is like a delicate grapevine that flourishes only when it is planted in the right soil and carefully cultivated in a good climate. Unless it is nurtured, it will wither through neglect and fail to bear fruit. The fruit of spiritual passion can be threatened by natural enemies, but it can also be stimulated by several sources:
As you can see, A Journal of Sacred Readings is designed to guide you through three months of lectio divina passages. I have selected 90 texts from Numbers through Revelation that are particularly well-suited to the process of sacred reading. These texts range from one to several verses, and they are arranged in biblical sequence to attune you to the flow of progressive revelation. This is my translation, and in several cases I have adapted and personalized these passages.
The daily four-part sequence of reading, meditation, prayer, and contemplation invites you to engage personally with the text and to record your thoughts and prayers in the process. This journaling component will enhance your interaction with each of the readings, and it will yield a valuable record of your reflections and prayers during these months. When you have completed this journal of sacred readings, you will profit from reading through the comments and prayers you have recorded.
I also suggest you go through this process a second time and visit each of these passages once again. You will discover new things in the Scripture texts that you did not see the first time through.
May the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the full knowledge of Him, and may the eyes of your heart be enlightened, in order that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the incomparable greatness of His power toward us who believe. (Ephesians 1:17-19)
O my soul, above all things and in all things always rest in the Lord, for He is the eternal rest of the saints.
Grant me most sweet and loving Jesus, to rest in You above every other creature, above all health and beauty, above all glory and honor, above all power and dignity, above all knowledge and precise thought, above all wealth and talent, above all joy and exultation, above all fame and praise, above all sweetness and consolation, above all hope and promise, above all merit and desire, above all gifts and favors You give and shower upon me, above all happiness and joy that the mind can understand and feel, and finally, above all angels and archangels, above all the hosts of heaven, above all things visible and invisible, and above all that is not You, my God.—Thomas à Kempis, The Imitation of Christ

Does the practice of forced or commanded morality make you a moral person? I ran upon this quote and it was a revelation of sorts.
If I were to speak your kind of language, I would say that man's only moral commandment is: Thou shalt think. But a "moral commandment" is a contradiction in terms. The moral is the chosen, not the forced; the understood, not the obeyed. The moral is the rational, and reason accepts no commandments.
-- Ayn Rand: John Galt's radio address in Atlas Shrugged
Views: 337
Following precepts, commandments, dicta, etc., is morality. Thinking about one's choices and trying to make the best one is ethics.
I dont know why but when I read that Ayn Rand quote, I think of it being said to a criminal ...
In fact the whole bible is starting to looking like one big penitentiary to me ....
Is the bible about criminal law?
Be good or go to jail ...
Is the bible about criminal law?
Be good or go to jail ...
Religion is.
Be obedient or go to hell.
In many ways religion has the opposite effect: it makes a human being amoral! It breeds bigotry, hate, animosity, supposed intellectual superiority, prejudice and all sorts of immorality.

Umineko no Naku Koro ni Game OP Download
Yes, it's finally here. Well, I'm a week or two late but I didn't find the torrent now. I forgot about it (how terrible of me!) until I heard the song on Tenka Seiha. I almost died. It's so awesome. PERFECT is more like the word. To make up for forgetting it I come bearing a download. This is the entire album that contains the song it's pretty big but don't worry. It's safe it's just that it has the scans and one song is twelve minutes long. Twelve minutes. But who cares. Just listen to Umineko no Naku Koro ni! It'll blow your mind. Atleast I hope so.

LMC is proud to offer for sale this 1965 Sunbeam Tiger Mark I
When the small British sports car called the AC Ace was outfitted with American V8 power and called the Shelby Cobra, many people were watching, employees of the Rootes Group, another British car manufacturer included. Inspired by the outcome of the Cobra, they took one of their Series III Alpine Roadsters, originally powered by a 1.7L 4-cylinder engine, and sent it right to the source, Carroll Shelby, to see if something similar could be developed. Shelby and another California based racer named Ken Miles set about fitting a small V8 into the little Alpine, in both cases the new, lightweight Ford motor was chosen and successfully put together. Both cars were then sent back to Britain for testing. The Shelby design, with its engine set far back for good balance was chosen and the Sunbeam Tiger was set to be produced by Jensen Motors Ltd. based out of Staffordshire England.
British sports cars have always held a special place in the hearts of automotive enthusiasts, with their lightweight designs and good looks they are often the darlings of classic car shows -- with the Carroll Shelby association, the Tiger is often referred to as the "poor man's Cobra".
Presented here is an absolutely stunning example of a fully restored Sunbeam Tiger Mk1. According to the Chassis Number this Tiger was built in the early stages of the Mark I production. This is a very special 1965 Sunbeam Tiger built to drive after a complete ground-up restoration with some tasteful modifications. The ground-up restoration was on a rust-free California car with all original panels and a new interior placed in a super straight body. The immaculate restoration of this Tiger has retained all the proper originality such as the Rootes Group Sunbeam logo and the Powered by Ford 260 Fender/Trunk Tags. The high quality paint job was painted while apart with new trim and interior. The familiar Green, commonly referred to as 'British Racing Green' has wonderful depth and shine. Once you lift the hood many of the restoration highlights can be seen such as a custom Four-core Radiator, Custom Fan, balanced and blueprinted Ford 289 cubic inch motor, Aluminum Intake Manifold. Holley 650, Ceramic-coated Headers, Aluminum 'Tiger Powered by Ford' Valve Covers, remote Oil Filter, Dales restoration front clip with Rack and Pinion, Dales sub frame and connectors, Sway Bar, Four-wheel Wilwood Calipers, "Toploader 4-Speed Manual Transmission, Dana 44 Rear End and Stainless Steel Exhaust. All this modified power provides a mean growl and is delivered to Kuhmo radial tires mounted on 8-spoke Panasport 'Racing' Wheels. The new Black Bucket Seat interior includes a beautiful Burled Walnut Dash with full set of original gauges and Factory Wood Rim Steering Wheel. all chrome has been replated including the Dual Racing Mirrors, Front and Rear Bumpers complete with Bumperettes, Gas Cap and the Chrome Tips of the Dual Exhaust Pipes. As well the previous owner has passed along his impressive collection of ownership history for this Tiger.
This 1965 Sunbeam Tiger Mark I is perhaps one of the best driving and performance Tigers out there!

IDisposable guarantees deallocation of resources by a certain point. (This is why you should never use Gc.finalise alone to manage the collection of external resources!) So you write a "use" binding: let read_first_line file = use ch = open_in file in input_line ch and it gets translated into: let read_first_line file = let ch = open_in file in try input_line ch finally ch#dispose where the "dispose" method that was automatically inserted at the end of the scope of the "use" binding calls "close_in" in this case to deallocate the external resource (a file handle in this case but it could be anything with a dispose method).

Look at F# to see how OCaml + overloading done right can be hugely beneficial. OCaml has fallen far too far behind to catch up completely but we could take some baby steps in this direction, just like SML's ad-hoc polymorphic approach but with a wider range of types (complexes, vectors, matrices). This is fairly easy to implement and, again, will remove a world of pain when doing arithmetic in OCaml. > The best way to handle this IMHO is Haskell-style type classes.

But this is a very non-trivial change to the language. Type classes are more powerful but they also make performance less predictable (the dictionary may or may not be optimized away). They are also unachievable, as you say. -- Dr Jon D Harrop, Flying Frog Consultancy Ltd. http://www.ffconsultancy.com/products/?e

Although the 'authenticity' of several of the other previously released leaks off Uncle L's thirteenth studio album Authentic, which drops today, have come into question, there's no denying the credibility of a Premo x Cool J collab.
*UPDATE: According to DJ Premier's twitter account, Premo is not responsible for the production on this track. At least my blurb mentioned that it lacked that Premo'esque rawness, so for lack of better words, I wont take it personal.
To all you Blog Fuckers that call ur sites Hip Hop,I did not produce "Jump On It" for the LL Cool J LP….all I can say is stay tuned…

Strange RT-PCR amplification plots - (Jan/26/2012 )
Hi everyone,
I'm relatively new, but so far I have found this site very useful! However, I have a problem I couldn't find the answer to on the forums!
I have been getting some strange amplification plots for my RT-PCR recently. I use Taqman mastermix and tailor-made probes, which have worked in the past. But, having tried a new probe I have been getting strange results (see attached) - a hump-shaped curve initially, then a gap, then the reaction proper starts later on, but for most samples it doesn't reach a plateau before the cycles end. I add a "gene of interest" probe and a "housekeeping" probe into the same reaction, and the housekeeping one works fine, it's just the gene of interest that is a problem. I am using the same cDNA and the same reaction volumes as I have successfully used before.
Any suggestions? I have already tried increasing the cycle number from 40 to 50, adding twice as much cDNA and adding 10-fold less cDNA. Should I increase the cycles further, add more probe, or add more cDNA?
This is a logarithmic graph, can you post linear? Ideally a graph without baseline-correction.
I'll try
Those up the threshold look normal, but very late.
For those under there don't seem to be any start, they apper just flat, but this one is baseline-corrected curve, that could cover it.
There should be the raw output visible somewhere, it shouldn't have "delta" Rn in a graph. Maybe we will be able to see more. Unfortunately I don't remember well ABI interface but I know it's there somewhere.
If you have new probe, look specificaly for the initial fluorescence of those samples in raw graph, if it's higher that the previous probe it could be bad. Can you try SYBR assay to check the efficiency of the primers? To point out to the problem in the probe. We once get a bad working probe from ABI, they gave us new after we proved it.
If I saw those results, I would assume I had no template in the reaction. There is some amplification after 34 cycles, but that is often garbage rather than a real signal. Do you have a positive template control? Do you have evidence that your primers are working? There is very little to be gained in running more than about 35 -38 cycles.
Thanks for the input guys!
I'll take a look at the raw data when I can get on to the machine (the only computer with the software on!). Unfortunately my supervisor can't get more probe as he's short on money. But I'll see if I can borrow some SYBR.
As for positive controls, the cDNA I have used for the standards is supposed to express it highly. I ran a gel on the products yesterday and the bands were very faint compared to the ladder, but there looked like there were two products, maybe primer dimers?
Ok I've got some raw data.........
Hi everyone,
So I've tried doing the reactions in singleplex (i.e. without the housekeeping primer) at three different primer dilutions and there's been no change. The other options are increasing the annealing temperature further or adding DMSO. On the plus side, my supervisor is increasingly thinking that the primer is just rubbish and considering getting a new one, or at least letting me do a SYBRgreen assay to determine efficiency
Hi everyone,
Bad news, we bought a different primer and the results are the same! Any more ideas? I've also tried a different mastermix, but no improvement

3 reviews for Pink Queen Poop Emoji Pillow
I could squeeze it all day!
So soft and fluffy! The face is hilarious!
I spent so much time looking for a poop pillow that wasn't brown, in the end I was so excited that I found a pink poop with a crown on its head! What a fantastic design! The blue jewels on top make the entire pillow. Furthermore, my kids have gotten a kick out of it. I wish the face also had a nose on it, or maybe some additional colors, but this was the best gift at the party. The customer service was so kind and friendly. They made sure I got that last minute gift I needed!

Saving for retirement is one of the most important financial decisions you can make. Without retirement savings you may never be able to retire or if you are forced to retire, you find yourself completely dependent on the government for assistance. It is smarter to take control of your retirement savings now, while you have options. But looking at retirement options — ranging from a Traditional IRA to a Roth IRA to a 401k to a 403b — can be an overwhelming task if you are just starting out. How can you simply the process?
The easiest way to get started saving for retirement is to use your employer's 401k plan. Many large and medium-size companies provide this retirement plan option for their employees. Here are a few reasons participating in your employer's 401k plan is a great idea.
Starting with a 401k is a good idea because the mutual fund investments you have to choose from have already been narrowed down by the company. You probably get some paperwork associated to a 401k when you are first hired, so you don't have to take a lot of time to research accounts — the paperwork is sitting right in front of you.
This can have a downside because the mutual fund options may not be the absolute best that you could find, but that is okay because what matters more is having the right asset allocation and getting started as early as you can. The cost of not participating or delaying so you can make "perfect" investment choices is much higher than just getting started.
Many employers have now automatically enroll their employees into the 401k plan when they are first hired. As you go through your paperwork there is an option to not automatically enroll, but a majority of people go ahead and sign up. Automatic enrollment usually starts you at about 3% of your pay, and most people don't miss the amount from their check. However, 3% is probably not enough savings for you to retire on, so be sure to go back and increase the percentage if you can afford it. (You can also change the contribution amount when you first sign up for the plan.)
A nice benefit of having your retirement investing come out of your paycheck is you don't have to make a conscious decision to send money in to a brokerage firm. If you have to sit down every month to log in to your brokerage account, and consciously make the decision to send money from your bank to a company — even if it is for your ultimate benefit — you may not do it. You may not even remember to do it. With a 401k, you are investing the money automatically with minimal obstacle.
One of the greatest reasons to use your employer's 401k plan is many companies will match how much money you save for retirement. Every employer is different, so be sure to learn how your match works. One company might match your contributions dollar for dollar up to 6% of your pay, while others might match 50 cents to the dollar of every dollar contributed up to 5% of your pay.
In the first scenario if you saved 6% for retirement the company puts in another 6% on your behalf out of their own pocket. You would be getting 12% of your salary in your retirement account, but only have to put in 6%. Likewise in the second scenario if you invested 5% of your pay, you would really get a total of 7.5% of your salary put toward your retirement because the 2.5% is free money from your employer.
Employer matches are one of the most powerful forces in retirement saving. Even if your employer doesn't offer much of a match, you should still contribute enough to at least get the match. Otherwise you are turning away absolutely free money.
I think if you don't take advantage of employer matching contributions you're leaving money on the table. If you do select the employer plans make sure to look at the investment fees and expense ratios.
Do you think taxes will be higher or lower when you retire? That's a critical question to ask yourself when considering tax-deferred retirement plans. Most people think that taxes will be higher when they retire, but they think that paying taxes later is a better option financial move.
401K's are a great way to save for retirement and save now taxes. Plus if your company is willing to give you free money why would you not take it! For my 401k I like the horizon or time line funds that adjusts as you age.
The match is most definitely free money. It's an instant raise. Combine this with the compounding qualities of the stock market and you can start to see what a huge benefit a 401(k) plan can be. Start early and be consistent with your contributions.
Good points! I would add the obvious, tax deferred savings.
I couldn't agree more. When I was younger, I failed to opt-in for the match – must have thought retirement was so far away and did not want any more coming off my current checks. Boy was I naive. Now I realize that it is one of the few legitimate, risk-free ways to get a 100% return on your investment.
Good on you for encouraging everyone. Don't wait too long like me.
I like contributing to my 401k because I never have the opportunity to spend the money on other things since I never see it.

Adelphi University Reviews
The campus is beautiful and the faculty is great. The professors are very knowledgeable and are always available in office hours to help. There are also a lot of opportunities to get involved on campus to make your experience there much more entertaining. v
My undergraduate was also from Adelphi, I liked the quaint intimate feeling it provided
This program was pretty good. I went to the satellite location so I really can't speak about the campus. It was quite expensive.
Adelphi is a fairly small school which gives students an opportunity to not only make long lasting connections with peers an fellow classmates but also receive attentive one on one help from professors. Adelphi offers many amazing opportunities for all students and is dedicated to making sure their students have a wonderful experience and are well equipped for the work force upon graduation.
Adelphi University has an amazing social work department. The professors and other faculty are so involved in helping their students see thier full potential and seeing where they fit in in the field of social work. They offer multiple opportunities to be trained in different area for example the have offered in the past mental health trainings, child abuse trainings, and domestic violence training that I could contest to. The only difficulty I have faced was financial aid. As you may know the school is very expensive and I had a hard time getting them to help.

JERUSALEM—Israeli police say more than a thousand people have protested in support of ultra-Orthodox Jews who were detained for failing to report for a mandatory draft assessment.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld says Monday's demonstration took place outside the jail where the men are being held. He said police broke up the protest when participants, mainly ultra-Orthodox Jews, threw stones at them. Other similar protests have taken place over the past week.

The military said the men are being detained for two weeks for refusing to report to a military recruitment centre.
The protesters also demonstrated against a recently approved plan that would gradually halt automatic draft exemptions to ultra-Orthodox seminary students and require all to register for service. They say the military will expose their youth to secularism.

text: Don't know if this has been brought up, but I've discovered an issue with the RBA contacts in my BBB. If you look at the base of the RBA, there's a wide bar that makes contact with the firing pin. What I've discovered is that when the Tank is screwed together tightly, this bar is pushed down so far as to make contact with both the pin AND the surrounding base, causing a short. I've never encountered this with coils, but since I prefer the RBA, I've had occasional issues when putting in new coils. Looking at the bar and inside the base of the mod where it screws in, I can see a small black burn mark on both. Doing some research, another person said most of the bar and the base on their BBB was black. Basically, I cannot screw the tank together as tightly as I normally would, as too much pressure from the chimney to the RBA would push the underlying bar too far down. I'd show you a picture of the burn marks, but I don't want to disassemble the tank again because it's working now. Here's the Reddit link where I got the info: https://www.reddit.com/r/electronic...psa_tfv8_baby_beast_coilbase_shorting_issues/ At some point, I guess I will lightly grind down the edges of the bar to prevent contacts in the future. That is all.

Bathroom Sink Cabinets
Bathroom sink cabinets are an essential component in any bathroom, no matter what size it is. The small bathroom really needs a cabinet as much as the lager bathrooms do. Bathroom sink cabinets are as important as having mirrors, a toilet, tub, shower and other bathroom essentials. Bathroom sink cabinets are where most people put their linen for the bathroom or their cleaning supplies and toilet paper. Having several bathroom sink cabinets allows you to keep your bathroom more organized.
Bathroom sink cabinets come in various sizes and finishes. If you are remodeling your bathroom make sure you plan for the right sizes and finishes on your cabinets. If you have more than one sink, you'll need more than one cabinet. Most master bathrooms these days have at least two sinks so you'll need at least two cabinets for the sinks in your bathroom. That way, each person can have their own sink and their own cabinet to keep things in. These cabinets can be bought premade from the factory. You can also go in to stores like Lowes and Home Depot to buy bathroom sink cabinets. These stores are nice and have a good selection. However, if you want the best selection or if you need to place a custom order, the best place to do that now is online.
When you go online and shop for bathroom sink cabinets you'll be amazed at all of your choices. Try using google images to see the different bathroom sink cabinets and to get ideas on what kind of cabinets you want in your new or remodeled bathroom. You can buy unfinished or finished bathroom sink cabinets. The choice is up to you and the design of your bathroom. If you are having a contractor remodel your bathroom, using the internet to show him the kind of cabinets you want is a good idea. Having a visual can really help prevent miscommunications and your contractor can tell you if the bathroom sink cabinets you have selected will fit with your new bathroom design or now.

The world has a dark asphalt-black sheen on it that some people ignore, but others tap into and enjoy brooding about. The ones who like to smoke dirty cigarettes just because they do not want be perfect, but to be flawed. Trying to live life in a way that notices the small, peculiar, painful realities of the world and accepting that you are a part of it.
The dark face of the world has a funny way of showing up. It makes you fall in love with someone whom you have nothing in common with, with a goddamn "problem" that leaves you feeling unsatisfied, and who pretends not to even give a f*ck about you. Despite all of this, there is a connection that goes beyond. Beyond what I don't know, but there is a fascination with who he is. And I don't think I can be making this up. I have been known to be delusional and melodramatic about such things. Well, now that I think about it, I have been delusional in more than one instance, but that's a story about broken-heart-boy that takes place in a hospital for another time. Logically thinking, this unspoken gravity has no definition, and is without explanation or confirmation. And it could just be nothing, but there is so much to learn about the world; what if it's something?
Someday I'm going to be very happy and I'll regret smoking cigarettes.
