I've been away this week but kept calling Lydia at the store several times a day as I was anxiously awaiting the arrival of new stuff. The UPS man delivered not one but TWO LARGE BOXES yesterday!!!
The BO BUNNY box was full of papers: Double Dots in paprika, seafoam, harvest, burnt orange, and pink punch; beautiful double-sided papers in Kitchen Spice Cinnamon, Gypsy Lace (teal), and Gypsy Spice; and the St. Nick line for Christmas in Noel (holly), Sugarplum, Sleigh (don't know why they named it this because there is no sleigh on the paper), and St, Nick Cut-Outs (It's going to be hard to decide which side of this one to use!). Old-fashioned Beautiful Life Cut-Outs, St. Nick Christmas Wishes Rub-Ons, and Candy Jewel embellishments rounded out the order. I could hardly hear Lydia over the oohs and aahs of the women in the store!
And MEMORY BOX STAMPS AND PAPERS are here! The papers are collections of 6X6s of their new releases: Dewfrost (just right for winter), Spiceberry (perfect for Christmas), and Twilight (for fall/Halloween). And the stamps!!! You are going to LOVE these!!! Love Cat; Cat with a Lamp; Cardinals in a Tree; Owls in a Tree; Staircase (pumpkin on the landing); and Pumpkin Field will be perfect for fall and winter holidays. The other really cool stamp for fall is one that is a bare tree with an extra stamp on it of leaves so you can make your own tree!!! Several of their wood stamps are set up this way--a regular image on the large area of the stamp and a word or phrase on one of the edges. Others like this that came in are Deer Friends, Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree, and Jumping for Joy. Bramble Wreath is a great one for fall or the holidays--you could decorate it for any season actually. There's also a sledding bear, a bear with snowballs, a poinsettia, and a silhouette of a deer. "Happy Fall" is a new sentiment. And there's one Neighborhood stamp. The second Memory Box order has gone out already, even before this one came in! Be sure to browse the catalog when you are in the store as a third order form has been started. As the only stamp store in central/southern Maine carrying these stamps, you HAVE TO come in and see them and take some home!
I bought a new camera this week (14 megapixels!) and will photograph what's left when I get to the store on Monday and post again on Monday night. (That is, unless I can figure out a way to get in there tomorrow during the day!)
Come into the store and pick up stuff while it lasts!!!
Happy stamping!

We have a Taijiquan (Tai Chi) program for everyone. Come practice with us and feel welcome!
We separate the Taijiquan (Tai Chi) teaching in four levels for didactic purposes only. Since Taijiquan (Tai Chi) is a principles-based art, the underlying principle is always the same, what changes is the complexity of its application. This gives you freedom to choose to follow the more general advice – start at the beginner level and progress at your own pace – or to choose more complex programs if you feel like. It all depends on your commitment.
- Warmup
- Short Standing Meditation
- 9 Posture Form
- Occasional Qigong practice
Most people need about 6 months to learn this form.
Intermediate 1
- Short Standing Meditation
- 19 Posture Form
- One-hand Silk Reeling Qigong
Most people will take one year to learn this form, counting from the day they started the Beginner program. This means that it doesn't matter if you start with the Beginner or the Intermediate program, you will probably need a year to learn the 19 Posture Form anyway.
Intermediate 2
- Medium-length Standing Meditation
- First half of Laojia Form
- Two-hand Silk Reeling Qigong
- Optional cooperative Push Hands
Usually one takes one and a half years to get to the end of this program, counting from the day one started Taijiquan (Tai Chi).
Advanced 1
- Medium-length Standing Meditation
- Laojia Form (complete)
- Two-hand Silk Reeling Qigong
- Optional competitive Push Hands (fixed step)
This would take about two years to complete, from the day you started your Taijiquan (Tai Chi) practice.
Further Learning
After you complete the Laojia Form, You can learn the Taijiquan (Tai Chi) Forms with traditional weapons, like: Sword, Saber, Spear and Halberd (Guandao); the second set of Silk Reeling Qigong, and more advanced Energy Work.
So, if you start at the Beginner program, you will take two years to reach the end of the Advanced 1 program. If you start directly at the Advance 1 program, you still take two years to reach its end. This is because each program builds on the previous one. For example, about 60% of the movements in the Laojia Form are inside the 19 Posture Form, if you already know this last one, you will know a lot when you start the Advanced 1 program.
We usually advise that one start at the Beginner program, because this gives the Taijiquan (Tai Chi) student landmarks and achievements to measure progress and keep motivated along the way.

SUBJECT/S: Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, Citizenship, Bennelong by-election.
SUBJECT/S: Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, Citizenship, Bennelong by-election.
SABRA LANE, HOST: Mr Dreyfus, good morning and welcome to the program.
MARK DREYFUS, SHADOW ATTORNEY-GENERAL: Morning Sabra. Thanks for having me.
LANE: How alarmed should governments be by that warning that abuse is still happening within some institutions?
DREYFUS: Very alarmed and that's the lesson from this Royal Commission, which has given thousands of Australians affected by these crimes the opportunity to be heard. What we now need is to take action. And that's the message from Peter McClellan and the other commissioners yesterday – that we should not assume just because thousands of survivors have been able to tell their stories, that it's stopped. We now have to move onto the next stage, which is to act on the recommendations we're going to get from the Royal Commission today.
LANE: Justice McClellan also says that abuse in the family setting was an even greater problem. How can governments and agencies respond to that?
DREYFUS: We have to change our culture. That's what – I hope – this Royal Commission has gone part of the way to achieving; to create an absolutely clear understanding among all Australians that these are crimes. This is an evil crime that permanently blights the lives of Australians, people who are abused as children. And the Royal Commission has to be regarded as a start. It's told us that institutions have failed to act. It's told us that governments have failed to act. And we now need to take those lessons and act on them in the future.
LANE: Should people be disappointed that no senior officials from the Catholic Church appeared at yesterday's final hearing?
DREYFUS: Of course they should. I was very disappointed to see that no senior officials from the Catholic Church turned up. The Catholic Church has been at the heart of thousands of the stories and referrals that have occurred to criminal prosecution authorities. And in other respects, the response of the Catholic Church has been appropriate – it's participated – but they should have turned up yesterday.
LANE: The final report and the recommendations will be out later today. How long is a reasonable amount of time for the Federal Government and state governments to consider it before announcing whether they'll adopt all the recommendations?
DREYFUS: All governments have to take speedy action. This Royal Commission was announced at the end of 2012. It's been running for five years. It's given interim reports. I'll say that Labor is very disappointed at how long the Federal Government has taken to act on the Redress Report of the Royal Commission which of course, was delivered in September 2015, with the express hope of the commissioners that the Government would be able to act on it and that the Commission would then be able to comment on it in its final report. That hasn't happened. The Government has only just now introduced legislation to set up the redress Scheme. And as of yet, not a single state or institution has signed up. That should not be the speed – that is, taking two years to act on those recommendations about redress - that should not be the speed with which governments respond. We need much quicker action than that.
LANE: As you say, some states seem reluctant. Dare I say, recalcitrant to act on this. Why should the Commonwealth bear responsibility for a scheme that ultimately state governments have a moral responsibility for?
DREYFUS: All governments have a moral responsibility for this. It's a national issue. That's why it was absolutely right for Julia Gillard, Jenny Macklin and Nicola Roxon – my predecessor as Attorney-General – our Labor Government to act at the end of 2012. And the national government needs to continue to lead. That was the point made by the Royal Commissioners in their redress report, I don't know exactly the way in which the Commissioners are going to put their report today but I'd be confident they would be calling on the national government to take a national role.
LANE: Compensation for victims who have been subsequently convicted of serious crimes - the Federal Government has said no to that. Mr Porter says it's been one of the most difficult issues he's had to confront. What's your view?
DREYFUS: The redress legislation has got a number of exceptions which we find concerning. You've mentioned one there, and the other is out of home care. But as Bill Shorten said yesterday, I don't think we should be creating two classes of victim. And that is seemingly what the Government has done in the way in which it has framed the redress scheme. We are going to continue to look at the way this redress scheme is proposed, how it's working, but it needs to be a truly national redress scheme that looks after all survivors. And at the moment, it doesn't seem to be that.
LANE: On citizenship. Are you still intent on pursuing Josh Frydenberg over his citizenship?
DREYFUS: I think I've said all I need to say about that subject. But I want to make clear that what I was saying is that a number of Liberal MPs, including Jason Falinski, Nola Marino, Julia Banks, had not made adequate disclosure and that remains the case. What's regrettable here is that the Prime Minister hasn't taken the opportunity to end this mess. We are still going to be talking about citizenship when we come back in February.
LANE: And Bennelong, just quickly on that. How close do you think that context will be tomorrow?
DREYFUS: It's going to be very close and I very very much hope that the excellent candidate that Labor has, Kristina Keneally, is going to be joining me in the Federal Parliamentary Labor Party because I know that she will make a tremendous contribution to national politics.
LANE: Shadow Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus. Thanks for joining the program this morning
DREYFUS: Thanks very much, Sabra.

Thomas Tank Engine
In view of a progression of youngsters' books, "Thomas and Friends" highlights Thomas the Tank Engine going on enterprises with his kindred trains on the island of Sodor. Thomas is well-suited to cause harm by making a decent attempt to be, in his words, an "extremely valuable motor," endeavoring to do things that are best left to greater motors. Different individuals from Sir Topham Hatt's railroad incorporate junior motor Percy, Thomas' closest companion, who is continually ready to help, and enormous motor Gordon – the speediest and most intense individual from the group – who utilizes his better quality than enable the littler motors to escape inconvenience.
In 1979, the British writer/producer Britt Allcroft came across the books and arranged a deal to bring the stories to life as the TV series Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends (later simplified to Thomas & Friends). The programme became an award-winning hit around the world, with a vast range of spin-off commercial products.

Stressing A Little And Need Help Quick!
Business By puddles_gal Updated 4 Feb 2015 , 3:22am by julia1812
AI have been contacted by someone in my town who is interested in my baking for a woman's gala coming up in March. The gala is is for women to celebrate fun, encouragement and empowerment, and there is no theme. They are wanting to use cupcakes/desserts for the centerpeices for the tables. I am also going to guess that this event won't be over-the-top fancy, as my small town just doesn't "do" parties like that, lol. They are expecting 100+ women at the event. I am very excited that they asked me to be a part of this, but am completely stressing out about what to even offer! Almost 100% of my business is cakes and cupcakes, and I do bake other desserts, but do not have a price list for them. Using the food as a centerpiece is completely throwing me off, as I don't think having a platter of dainties in the middle of a table makes for a presentable centerpeice, you know? The only idea I have thought of so far are cupcake bouquets, which I have never made before and hence wouldn't know what to charge, but they seem simple enough to do. And not having a theme makes it hard too! Anyone ever done one of these events before, or care to share other ideas as to what I could offer as a sweet centerpeice? I really don't want to lose this order and it could mean GREAT exposure for me in my small town, and I need to email her back right away! Thank you in advance!
You could do a dessert buffet setup and make a few different flavors of cupcakes or whatever you want to promote. Maybe one large cake as the centerpiece and little cupcake minis around it on fancy cake stands.
If you opt do make cupcake bouquets, I'd definitely practice first. It's probably just me but I found cupcake bouquets a nightmare to make- my cupcakes were too soft (they were sliding off the toothpick), the pots I bought were too light so I had to put gravel in them to weight them down, etc etc. I once used the plastic cup method and arranged around a plate. On delivery, hubby drove off too quickly out of our drive and one of the cupcakes flew out.
Cake pops look great on desset buffets- make them upside down to make your life easy- they look just as good as the upright ones.
Costumescar has given excellent advice- a big cake and all manner of cupcakes - mini, regular size, various flavours plus cake pops, cupcake bouquets, some cupcakes decorated in just buttercream, some in buttercream with fondant toppings, and so on and so forth.
Your theme could centre around colours instead of an idea. That way all your cakes coordinate using the colours and you can then use various designs for various cakes and it will all still have a cohesive look.
good luck :)
AThank you for your suggestions! I did hear back today,and she is not wanting a dessert table and is dead set on having dessert as the table centerpeices instead. I am going to scratch the cupcake bouquet idea, as I have no idea how I would even transport them, and they would be rather expensive after buying all the pots and styrofoam! Not to mention I might have another order for the same day for an event for 350 people, so I certainly don't want to experiment then! Lol. Living in a small town can be so frustrating when people are not open to new ideas. However, I am sure I will come up with something. Thanks again!
AJust put whatever you make on a pretty plate (thrift shop. They don't need to mstch.) Then put that plate on four upside down wine glasses in the center of the table. Just make sure the glasses are the same height. or you can get vases and put one open rose down in the vase floating on shallow water and set the plate on top of that.
AYes, that's what I would do to. Make your own tiered cupcake holders. You find really pretty and inexpensive ideas on Pinterest.com You could make all sorts of desserts. Brandy snaps, scones, toffee... Those are very very inexpensive and relatively quickly made. And on top of the stands you put some decorated cupcakes. You could pipe some BC flowers on them...

When I was in college, a lot of kids (not me — I clearly scheduled extra classes) would try to fix their schedule so they would not have class on a Friday or a Monday (or before 10 or after 4 or any time it was sunny and over 60 degrees). When you enter the "real world," it is much more difficult to formulate a work schedule that permits such behavior. Nevertheless, even though it is not officially "summer," the unofficial start to the summer season kicked off this weekend. This also marks the unofficial start to the shocking Friday/Monday flu season, the backdoor way employees try to keep up the time honored tradition of the college four-day weekend.
In order to prevent employees from catching a case of the Friday/Monday flu, employers should have written policies in place to address excessive absenteeism or tardiness. Employers should also counsel and discipline employees if they violate the attendance/tardiness policies and inform them that they will be subject to discipline, up to and including termination, if they continue to engage in excessive absenteeism or tardiness. Employers also should have a specific written policy stating that paid time off accrues on a monthly basis, and any time used and not earned must be repaid at the time of termination.
Either that, or just close every Friday and Monday until Labor Day. I have recommended that to our office, and I'm still waiting on a response. For questions about this or any other labor and employment topic, please do not hesitate to contact a member of our Labor and Employment Department.

Why Have You Abandoned Me
- Why Have You Abandoned Me
- Matthew 27:37-43
- Lyndol Loyd March 5, 2017
3-5-17 Sermon from LakeRidge UMC on Vimeo.
Today, we are going to start a series that I believe is going to impact you in a very significant, very deep and meaningful spiritual way. We will look at some of the things that Jesus said while hanging on the cross. As we prepare our hearts for Easter weekend, when we celebrate the empty tomb, I thought it would be very meaningful if we look at the phrases, the powerful and theologically deep phrases that Jesus uttered while on the cross.
Let's start in Matthew 27:37-43, to give you context on the first words we are going to look at, Jesus on the cross. The Bible says: 37 A sign was fastened above Jesus' head, announcing the charge against him. It read: "This is Jesus, the King of the Jews." 38 Two revolutionaries[a] were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left.
39 The people passing by shouted abuse, shaking their heads in mockery. 40 "Look at you now!" they yelled at him. "You said you were going to destroy the Temple and rebuild it in three days. Well then, if you are the Son of God, save yourself and come down from the cross!"
41 The leading priests, the teachers of religious law, and the elders also mocked Jesus. 42 "He saved others," they scoffed, "but he can't save himself! So he is the King of Israel, is he? Let him come down from the cross right now, and we will believe in him! 43 He trusted God, so let God rescue him now if he wants him! For he said, 'I am the Son of God.'"
"Where is your God now?" Admittedly, if you were there looking on at Jesus hanging on the cross, you might say something similar to what they did as well. "He trusts in God? Where is his God now?"
If you would have seen Him, you would have been deeply disturbed, because Scripture tells us very clearly what they did to Jesus. They beat Him and abused Him so severely, that He didn't even look like a human being. Think about this; they took His shirt off, His clothing off, and whipped Him thirty-nine times across the back with a leather whip that would have had pieces of glass and metal and sharp objects, that literally would rip His back open. Often times, this kind of scourging would leave His internal organs exposed.
They blind folded Him, and with their big signet rings, they pounded Him again and again in the face, crying out, "Prophesy! Tell us who hit you!" Until His face was black and blue, and bloody. Then they put the crown of thorns upon His brow, just to make fun of Him. The sharpest thorns you can imagine and pushed it down where blood just covered His face.
They kicked Him again and again, they spit on Him. They put Him down on the ground on pieces of wood and drove stakes through His flesh, through His heels. History tells us that they would have stripped Him down naked. There He is, looking more like an animal than a man, hanging naked on the cross, and they were saying, "You still trust in God? Where is He now? Where is He now?"
Trust, the root word that is translated as trust in this portion of Scripture is spelled, peitho (pi'-tho). If you are taking notes, it means to convince or to rely on with inward certainty; to have full confidence or complete trust.
"You still trust in God?" It's very easy to trust in God when things are going well, but it's difficult to trust in God, for many of us, when life goes dark. All of us must answer, at some point, the most fundamental question of life: "Do you really trust God?"
From the beginning of creation, every force in hell would try to undermine the character, authority and nature and goodness of God. Even in the form of a serpent, the evil one came to talk, he said, "Are you going to trust Him? Did He really say, 'Don't eat from that fruit?' Are you really going to trust Him?" Because it is easy to trust Him in the light, but it's so much more difficult to trust Him when life goes dark.
To give you an example, right after Joni and I moved to Hot Springs Village we were living in a rental house with a master bedroom that was on one side of the house and the other bedrooms on the opposite side of the house. Abigail had just turned two and we had transitioned her from her baby bed to her big girl bed while using every trick we could think of to convince her that it wasn't okay to get out of her bed until we would come to get her.
One night, at about 2:30 in the morning, a straight line wind came through our neighborhood and took out all kinds of trees, ruining our neighbor's roof and crushing our other neighbor's truck. It sounded as if a locomotive was coming through our neighborhood. When it happened, Joni and I sat straight up in bed and said, "What was that?" There was no electricity. It was pitch black in the house. We didn't have a match, a candle, a flashlight – nothing. In a fit of panic the two of us about broke our necks trying to make it across the house to get to Abigail. Praying she was okay between stepping on toys and running into furniture. Eventually we made it to her bedroom only to find her still asleep and completely unaware that anything had happened.
It strikes me that it's so easy to trust God when life is going the way you want it to, when you can see where he is at work, but it's so much more difficult when you don't understand, when your life is in the dark.
Speaking of dark, here is what the Bible says about this time on the cross, Matthew 27:45-46: 45 At noon, darkness fell across the whole land until three o'clock. 46 At about three o'clock, Jesus called out with a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" which means "My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?"
Never, not even one time, did He complain when men did their worst. But, when God withdraws He screams out in agony, "I can't take this. I don't understand this. Why?"
It's interesting to me that all through the Gospels, Jesus referred to God as His Father, His Abba, His Daddy. But at this moment, something happened. I don't know what it is, but instead of saying Daddy, Abba, Papa, Father; He says, "My God, my God, why?"
This is perhaps one of the saddest verses in the Bible. Unquestionably, it is one of the most confusing. Martin Luther, centuries ago said, "How can God forsake God?" Because that is what happened. The answer is I don't know, I cannot explain this. There are so many theological challenges in this question that I could not even begin to answer how God can forsake His Son. How? Why? What? Jesus had to know, did He know? Surely He knew, He was God! All these questions and He embraces the one question that almost all of us ask at some point in our lives. When it goes dark and we don't understand, we end up asking "Why?"
- It's the young couple who go in for a routine ultrasound only to discover that their baby doesn't have a heartbeat.
- It's the woman who grew up with a sexually abusive father who also physically abused her mother.
- It's the man who loses his life savings after making what he thought was a sound investment only to discover that he has been swindled out of his money by a con artist.
Maybe you know what it is like to feel like you've been left in the dark? Maybe you know what it is like to feel betrayed by God? Maybe you've been left feeling dirty? Maybe you've felt all alone? Maybe you've wondered why God would allow something like that to happen to you?
Hearing those hurts and those questions, I mean that's where we all live at some time or another and you ask "Why? I don't understand." The reality is, we are not always going to understand. That's truth, because we only see part of the story. We can't understand everything from God's perspective. In fact, Paul said this very clearly in 1 Corinthians 13:12 when he was comparing now with eternity, he said: "Now we see things imperfectly as in a cloudy mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely just as God now knows me completely."
N O W H E R E. It's a little bit like this: If I asked you, "What two words do you see?" Many of you would say, "I see nowhere." Others of you would say, "No, actually I see now here." Those of you from the deep south you'd say, "I see no hair! No hair!" You only see part at the beginning. A lot of people in hard times say, "God is nowhere to be found." Others who truly get to know God say, "No He's now here, even though I don't understand, He is here."
We are often incapable of understanding, just as we are often incapable of understanding God and His divine purposes, even, or especially in our pain.
Here is what God says, Isaiah 55:8-9: "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the Lord. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."
But the good news is, God's Word gives us some things that we need to remember when we don't understand.
I want you to say this declaration with me, "God is good! God is for me! God is with me!" How do we get from the place in life where we say, "God is nowhere to be found in this circumstance." to the place that we say, without a doubt, "God is now here."? Life moves. Curve balls come at us. Things change. How do we get from here to here? We hold on to a God that is unchangeable. That's what we do.
Let's be honest, some of us are not in a crisis. Some of you here today feel blessed and praise God for it! You feel the abundant smile of God in your life, and remembering who God is and holding on to Him in your life probably looks a little like this: It's a calming time with Him, you're reassured that He is good and He loves you.
But, in every life the winds change directions and the storms of life begin to blow. The challenges, the curve balls, the betrayals, and the things you didn't expect, and all of a sudden holding on to who God is looks a little bit more like this. Anybody relate? Sometimes in life, you get to the point where the chaos and the hurt and the confusion are so great that holding onto who God is leaves you with white knuckles and worn out muscles spiritually. Today, we are going to hold onto an unchanging and an immovable God.
- We are going to remember that God is good. In Mark 10:18, Scripture says this: "No one is good except God alone."
He is good. Here's why it's important: Because we tend to project our present situation on God. When we are confused and when things happen that we don't understand, we say, "God, why have you left me in this place, I don't get it, where are you?" When things happen that are bad, we sometimes think maybe God isn't good because He's allowing this thing.
But, our God transcends circumstance. That's what we hold onto. In the middle of cancer, God is good. In abuse, in hurts so deep that we can't even explain it, and they affect our lives for years, even then God is good. In grieving a loss, God is good. In war, in atrocious things like genocide, God is still good; forever, and it will never change. He is always good. We remember, we cling onto that. God is always good.
- God is for me. Would you write that down? God is for me. Romans 8:31, Paul writes this: "If God is for us, who can be against us?"
I want you to just think about how ridiculous this idea is, it's unbelievable! God authored everything. The Bible says that He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. He is the great I am! He breathed the stars into space, and yet, Scripture says He is for you.
If that is true, and Scripture says that it is, that the God who created everything is for you; then friends, who and what circumstance could dare phase you? The all-powerful God is your advocate, He believes in you, He has a dream and a purpose that is beyond the confusion of today. We hold onto that and we remember that God is always good. He is always for us.
- God is with me! He is with us! In Hebrews 13:5, Scripture says: "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."
Never, that is good news! No matter how alone you may feel. No matter how betrayed you may have been, God promises that He will never leave, He is good, He is for you, and He is with you. Even when we don't understand, we can always remember that God is good, and God is for us, and God is with us. He will never leave us nor forsake us.
So, the question I would ask you is this: "Do you trust God?" Because it's easy to trust God in the light, but it's more difficult to trust God when life is dark.
Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us this, the Bible says: "Trust in the Lord your God with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight."
We are not going to understand everything. But, "in all of your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight." The word in the Hebrew that is translated as acknowledge, is actually the word, "yada." Very literally, this word means "to know." In all your ways, know God. In all you do, know God. Even when you don't understand, know God; and He will make your paths straight.
Here's what I'm finding in my life: The better I know God the less I ask, "Why?" And the better I know God the more I ask, "What?" Instead of, "God, why is this happening? God, why are you doing this? Why aren't you doing what I want?" The better I get to know God, the more I ask, "What? God, what are you doing? God, what do you want me to see? God, what is your purpose? God, what is your plan?" When so many people say, "God is nowhere to be found." I say, "No, no, no! Because I know Him, God is now here." Instead of asking, "Why?" I've learned to ask, "What?"
You may ask, "Why did god forsake Jesus?" "My God, my God, Why have you forsaken me?" The answer is found in Scripture, 2 Corinthians 5:21, The Bible says: "God made Him (Jesus) who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God."
Jesus became sin, why? So that in Him we might become the righteousness of God. On the cross, He became murder and adultery, and lust and lying, and pornography and cheating, and racism and hatred, and any other sin that's existed in this world.
Jesus became sin and God had to look away because His eyes are too righteous to even look upon sin. He died for our sins, so that our sins can be forgiven. When everyone around the cross didn't understand, God made him sin, so that we can become the righteousness of God in Christ.
So, no matter what you're going through; never, ever forget that…
God is good.
God is for you, and
God is with you. He will never, ever leave you.
God, we find great comfort in the words of your Son, Jesus; on the cross. Even God, when He asked, "Why?" We see Your divine hand and Your purposes leading every step of the way. Help us God, to trust you, to truly trust you.

text: More than two-thirds of human-resource managers view well-written, PERSONALIZED cover letters as advantageous to a job applicant, as reported in Resume Writer's Digest. Nearly half believe that cover letters are more important — or as important as — resumes. In still another poll, this one from HRnext/BenefitsNext, 7 percent of respondents said the cover letter is so important that it can clinch a job, and nearly 40 percent characterized cover letters as "among the important factors" in the hiring process." "It depends on the job" was the response of 22 percent, which is important to note for those aspiring to jobs in which they will be judged by how well they express themselves. According to almost 20 percent of respondents, a good cover won't necessarily land you the job, but an awful one will throw you out of contention. For an overall refresher on cover letters, see our Cover Letter Tutorial.

Serves: 4-8
Prep & Cooking time: 75 minutes
Recipe adapted from: Holycowvegan.net
Notes: This recipe contains: B-vitamins, Vitamin C, protein, fibre, calcium, iron, potassium and is low in salt* and saturated fats*!
Firstly, we would like to thank Holycow for this great recipe! We've made this a few times before, but usually with a GF crust; see below!
We have adjusted the cooking temperatures as we see fit; baking the pastry for the full duration (especially in a GF format) always produced a crust that was just too hard for our liking! We value our teeth and don't fancy using a huge knife to hack away at it during our dinner!
This tart is delicious, and hopefully you'll find (with the pictures) it's easy to prepare! Be creative, change the flavours of the crust or filling; see some suggestions below!
We have used a DF margarine instead of a DF shortening or coconut oil, and it's worked well; it has also very nicely cut down on the total fat/saturated fat contents ! The suggested serving size is 4-8. It's not unreasonable to serve yourself a quarter of the tart… just as long as you are mindful of your daily calorie, fat and salt intakes (as always)! For a lighter meal, serve an eighth of the tart…but with all 'higher calorie/fat/sugary foods'- eat them in moderation!
We suggest that you serve this tart with a green salad or some steamed green veggies to help make it a balanced meal!
Nutritional info (tart only):
Based on 4 servings, this tart has an orange traffic light rating for its fat, saturated fat and salt content.
*Based on 8 servings, this tart has an orange traffic light rating for its fat and green ones for its saturated fat and salt contents (a.k.a low in s/fat and salt)!
NB: Remember orange values make an OK choice, but green ones are always healthier!
Open and drain the tofu. Place it between two heavy chopping boards for approximately 20-30 minutes to remove any excess water.
In the meantime, prepare the pastry for tart. Place the wholemeal flour and cornmeal into a large mixing bowl. Season it with some salt and black pepper to taste. Mix together.
Add the DF margarine.
Use a knife or a fork and break it apart; work it gently through the flour mixture.
Add the water. Use a knife, pastry knife or fork and stir the mixture until it comes together…
…to form a ball (use more water if needed…and don't be afraid to use your hands!).
Place a piece of kitchen film onto a flat surface. Transfer the dough onto the film. Wrap it up. Press/flatten the dough into a disc.
Place it into the fridge for 30 minutes. Remove.
Meanwhile, prep the tart filling. Peel and chop the onions into halves and then into thin slices.
Drain and chop the tomatoes into small pieces. Wash and dry the thyme (if using fresh) and remove the leaves from the stem. Drain the pressed tofu. Organise the remaining ingredients.
Heat the oven to 200°C/400°F.
Place the oil in a large, non-stick saucepan over a medium heat.
Add the onions and sugar. Stir together. Gently fry for 10-20 minutes or until lightly browned and/or caramelised.
Add the water to help de-glaze the pan. Add the thyme. Mix together.
Remove from the heat. Allow it to cool slightly.
In the meantime, prepare the pastry. Lightly flour a clean surface. Unwrap the dough and place it onto the flour.
Using a large rolling pin, gently roll it out; large enough to cover the pastry case.
Gently re-roll it onto the rolling pin.
Unroll the pastry over the case.
Gently move and press it to fit into the case; shape it with your fingers and remove any overlap.
Cover the pastry with kitchen foil.
Add baking beads or dried beans (ones that you never plan to cook and eat!).
Place it into the oven. Blind-bake for 10 minutes. Remove.
In the meantime, place the tofu, milk, mustard and onion powder into a food processor.
Blend until creamy. Season it with some salt and black pepper to taste.
Transfer it into a large mixing bowl.
Add the tomatoes. Stir together.
Add the onion mixture. Stir to combine.
Remove the foil and beads/dried beans from the pastry. Place it back into the oven. Bake for a further 5 minutes. Remove.
Increase the oven temperature 220°C/430°F.
Add the onion filling to the pastry case. Use a spatula to help spread it evenly.
Place it back into the oven. Bake for a final 30-40 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove. NB: We baked ours for a final 30 minutes.
In the meantime, prepare a green salad or steam some veggies!
Allow the tart to cool slightly; approximately 5-10 minutes.
Cut into slices. Serve with a salad or steamed veggies.
Here is one me made last year when we were transitioning into veganism (it has a GF crust)!
Refrigerate any leftovers in a resealable container…
…enjoy them hot or cold, but consume within 3-4 days.
If preferred…
- Use red onions instead!
- Omit the sun-dried tomatoes and try some other combinations! Try adding some leek, alternative fresh herbs or a medley of them (chives or parsley), nutritional yeast, pine or walnuts, brown lentils, balsamic vinegar, dried mushrooms or maybe even some apple!

So you're ready to start writing your admission essay. I mean, you don't feel like you are and you don't want to be ready, but the fact is that the essay only gets written by writing it. So: you're ready.
The best writing advice most of us ever hear or give is just to get started. Just write. Stop worrying about it. Stop thinking about it. Most important of all: stop reading about how to do it. Just start writing! That's much, much harder than it sounds for most people, and even most professional writers will tell you that. There are many, many other easier things to do.
Regardless of whether students are using the Common Application, the Coalition Application, or institution-specific prompts, the biggest hurdle they typically face when it comes to getting a start on their admission essay is freaking out over organization, which just means they're uncertain how to set up their essay the "right" way.
As I previously mentioned, college-bound teens aren't used to writing about themselves in an academic context most of the time, and they've usually never produced a college essay or personal statement before, so it's understandable that they feel overwhelmed about where and how to start—and then, once they start, how to proceed.
This might help. The pre-writing exercise I described last month helps identify the student's best bet for a topic; use those initial notes as springboards to the bigger ideas the essay will engage. These bigger ideas will eventually take the shape of paragraphs, but as students begin drafting, they might not have a definite grasp of what their "bigger ideas" even are. They will, however, once they start writing.
So now we've got to get from the raw materials we've collected about the topic to figuring out what to say about their significance. To build this bridge, try thinking about paragraphs as answers to specific questions. I'm sure I got this idea from a composition textbook somewhere along the line, and it works.
The straightforward exercise of answering a question gives kids something concrete and contained to do for the space of a paragraph. So once the writer lands on the topic, try asking these five questions:
1. What does it take to be a successful _____________?
(Remember I used the example of a duck hunter last time.)
2. How do I match up with the qualities/keywords for #1?
Be specific! How do these traits/qualities/keywords demonstrate who I really am?
3. Can you describe one time _____________ went really wrong or really well?
Here's where the writer can plug in some of the detail keywords that indicate expertise. Anecdotes make impacts and grab attention. This should be no longer than a handful of sentences.
4. How did #3 reveal #2?
In other words, how did #3 test my traits/qualities/ keywords? What did this teach me about myself/how did this impact me? (This is moving toward big ideas and larger significance, right?)
5. How does the combination of #2 and #4 connect up with my future plans (during college and perhaps beyond)?
It's the essay's job to introduce the writer by drawing meaningful connections between key elements of his or her identity and experience that create a trajectory.
A real-life example would be a high school outfielder who suffered a serious shoulder injury junior year that ruined his baseball season. Instead of being at practice, he was at physical therapy. This was a huge disappointment (that many high school athletes can relate to, right?), but it introduced him to the field of sports medicine. Now he's back on the field senior year with a recovered shoulder and a prospective undergraduate field of study that he didn't know anything about before he got hurt. And he's armed with a winning essay topic that he doesn't dread writing. His essay combines his favorite interest, talent, and expertise, and he has the raw materials for making a pretty compelling statement that signals more broadly how he handles challenges. Interpreting the biggest bummer of his teenage life as a sign pointing toward his future demonstrates important character traits that are attractive to colleges, including maturity, resilience, and determination.
One of the best things about coming to paragraphs by answering questions is that these questions can be broken into multiple sittings. Addressing even one question per sitting will allay writing anxieties and help students feel productive.
Keep in mind that the five questions do not mean the essay must be five paragraphs. It will likely be more. Any of these questions can lead to other questions that might depend on the essay prompt you're working on. There's no hard-and-fast rule. Also, at this stage of the drafting process, the writer is not concerned with perfect word choice or Pulitzer-winning style. The writer is focused only on getting ideas (i.e., words) down on the page.
You'll find these five questions lend themselves to the Common and Coalition Application prompts, and with some minor tweaking, they should apply to plenty of institution-specific prompts as well. This is because most college essay options are geared to the same end: getting a fuller picture of who the prospective student is.

Voice of Europe
13 September 2018
Laura Cat
Poland's foreign ministry in Warsaw has noted it's "concern" over Wednesday's decision by Euro deputies to trigger a punitive procedure against Hungary citing [trumped up]accusations of flouting EU rules on democracy, civil rights and corruption.
The country announced it stands with Hungary against the EU and will veto any sanctions against its ideological ally. The foreign ministry said it "has noted with concern [Wednesday's] decision of the European Parliament supporting the motion to trigger Art. 7.1 of the Treaty on European Union against Hungary."
Adding: "Each EU Member State has a sovereign right to carry out the internal reforms that it considers appropriate."
The European Commission took the step of triggering Article 7 of the EU Treaty against Poland in December. At that time, Hungarian Deputy Prime Minister Zsolt Semjen pledged his country's defence of Poland against the "unjust" and "political" measures by the EU, stating that it was unacceptable for Brussels to put pressure on sovereign EU member states, arbitrarily punishing democratically elected governments.
The Polish foreign ministry said after yesterday's vote, "measures taken against Member States lead only to the deepening of divisions within the European Union, by increasing the current distrust of citizens in European institutions."
Yesterday's vote was deemed successful to trigger Article 7, however, there have been several challenges to the legality of it. Article 354 TFEU says that Article 7 requires two-thirds "of the votes cast", therefore not including abstainers. The results of the vote were: 448 Yes; 197 No; 48 Abstain. Without the abstainers, it is clearly NOT two-thirds in favour of enacting Article 7 against Hungary.
Zoltan Kovacs, Government Spokesman, Cabinet Office of the Prime Minister of Hungary, said in a tweet: "It's called FRAUD. EU Treaty clear about voting rules: requires 2/3 of all present. Do the math: 448 Yes; 197 No; 48 Abstain. That ain't 2/3.
Irony? Pro-migration MEPs bashing Hungary for allegedly violating the rule of law resort to violating the rule of law to pass resolution."
Poland's foreign ministry has said in a statement posted on its website that Poland will "vote against any possible sanctions" that could be "imposed on Hungary within … European institutions".

TokyoMagic!, years ago I saw a black and white xerox showing what appeared to be an updated version of the Rocket to the Moon poster with Douglas markings. My understanding is that it was a mockup done by the Studio, but I would love to learn more. I don't think any Douglas/rocket posters were ever made.

K. Martinez, that happens to be the only Tiki Room posters that I have! It's a rare one, but I do wish I had one of the earlier versions as well.

Chuck, Pepsi has had their imprint on the Golden Horseshoe posters from the beginning, which *does* look a bit odd considering that most of the other early posters have no sponsorship mentioned. There are some exceptions of course!

Dean Finder, I love that "Flight to the Moon" poster, and regret not buying one when they could be had for a few hundred bucks. Now they go for many thousands. Live and learn.

Patrick Devlin, there are no dues, but you must promise to be honest, brave, and loyal. If you look on this blog, you'll see plenty of photos in which the "TWA" is visible at the top of the rocket. Or make things easier and check out Davelandweb.com! As I said to TokyoMagic!, I do not believe that there ever was an actual 3rd version of the RTTM poster.

Nanook, I suppose you are right! I've always kind of wanted a "butcher cover" of that Beatles album. Or even one of the copies that you had to peel - just look for the triangle of Ringo's black shirt!Major Pepperidgehttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-85183519778090608062017-03-20T11:24:02.031-07:002017-03-20T11:24:02.031-07:00Major- I suppose one could say this is the "...Major-

I'm not sure if there was an interim poster using the Rocket to the Moon design and McDonnell Douglas branding, but the poster I found in the Poster Art book and online is the 1967 Flight to the Moon one. It features the moon more prominently than the rocket.

Conservatives claim to have all the answers, and think that being able to recite a handful of simplistic talking points on economic issues is actually the same as having any understanding of economics. When things go wrong under their rule (as they generally do) they are also experts at shifting the blame and never taking responsibility for the consequences of their own policies.
During the Bush years everything was Bill Clinton's fault. If that doesn't work, more and more conservatives are even willing to abandon their previous support for Bush, claiming he was not actually a conservative.
Anyone have any doubt that they will try to blame the current economic crisis on Obama if they run out of ways to blame it on Clinton? One example comes from Michelle Malkin who points to the stock market declines since Obama was elected (not even when he took office) as if the problem occurred under his watch as opposed to under Bush.
I'm certain that in future years Republicans will speak of the economic crash as being an event of the Obama administration. The right has already been in total denial over how the 9/11 attacks were largely a consequence of the failings of the Bush administration to pay attention to the warnings both from the Clinton administration and in Bush's own daily intelligence briefings.
The only remaining question is how they will rewrite history to shift the blame for the other major failing of the Bush administration. Will future conservatives rewrite history to blame Katrina on Clinton or Obama?
Update: You would think that not many people would be so ignorant as to how the stock market works to take this post by Malkin seriously, but apparently many conservatives do. I wonder how they explain the approximately 25% drop in the market while Bush was in office, and the overall trend even before Bush for the market to do better under Democrats than Republicans. Doug Mataconis and Steven Talor, neither of whom supported the stimulus bill, both debunk the idea that Obama's policies are responsible for the stock market drops since election day.
