Halloween was a wonderful time. Inviting everyone to feast upon the words of Christ was a blast. Trunk-or-treating was great with the LIvermore wards and participating in both wards in their Haolloween activities was certainly productive. I think I mentioned this before, but both of the ward that Sister Gregerson and I cover (Livermore 1st and 4th) decided to hold their Halloween parties at the same time. We invited LOTS of our investigators as well as part member families and many of them showed up. The 4th ward party was held on a giant field. There was a cake-walk, a chili cook-off, trunk-or-treating and lots of other fun activities. The 1st ward all met at the church and had a party. There was trunk-or-treating in the parking lot.
|(This is a random trunk-or-treat picture to give you the idea)
Sister Gregerson and I knew it would be difficult but decided that we would try to spend 30 minutes at each party goig back and forth. Of course, it didn't turn out that way. We got stuck at the 4th ward party the whole time because of the trunk-or-treating and the chili cook off. Sad part is, is that two of the investigators that we invited to the 1st ward party showed up and we never saw them! It was very sad. We felt very bad.
Now let me tell you a bit about these two investigators that we invited. . .
Sister Gregerson and I like contacting. We are pretty good at it too if I dare to say. Almost two weeks from this day we were contacting in a neighborhood called Leahy Square.
We decided we would knock on the door of a girl Najaya who at one point was getting the discussions. We knocked on her door to be greeted by her mom who just walked away not saying anything. Najaya then came to the door and quickly realize who we were said she was busy because she had homework. We quietly told her that we could help and her face lit up! She ran away and came back with all of her bags and books in hand throwing them in our arms. We walked over to the benches in her apartment complex and started.
Ever since that day of helping Najaya with her homework we have been teaching her along with seven of herneighborhood friends, two of which we invited to the Halloween party and came.
Turns out Najaya had a baptismal date for February and ended up being dropped because she was not keeping her commitments. As all of the neighborhood children started to see us there every other day, they too would come out bringing their homework. Sister Gregerson and I quickly used this as a teaching opportunity and invited the children to call a number on the back of a pass along card that we gave them for a finding faith in Jesus Christ video.
Two of the children in particular Elaijay and Elijah are progressing. They have been going to church activities and thank goodness for members.
Elaiyah and Elijah don't have too much support at home but are getting lots of love at church. In their prayers they thank their Heavenly Father for feeling and being accepted at church.
I love these children. I am so excited about how they are progressing.
Lots of miracles; lots of blessings.
Miracle: We still get fed every single night
Miracle: Elijah wants to be baptized before Thanksgiving.
All my love,
Sister Carter

Four students of a secondary school in Alagbado area of Ilorin, Kwara State, escaped death on Wednesday after a two-storeyed building under construction collapsed on them.
Sources said one of the teachers of the students, Muritala, had brought them to the building on Opeyemi Street, in the Saw Mill area of Ilorin when the building collapsed at about 9am.
The students were quickly rescued and taken to a nearby building, where water was poured on them.
An eyewitness, who declined to give his name, said, "The teacher is a son of the owner of the building.
The teacher is in the habit of taking the students to the building site for menial jobs.
They were rescued and taken to a nearby building where water was poured on them.
"Muritala also took the four male students through the back door after they were calm enough and took them back to school."
Sources claim that students were usually brought to the building as a form of punishment.

Ler Phaw helped with Bible translation
Sunday I talked with JB, a missionary involved in Bible translation work. JB has just finished translating the Bible into the Karenni language for the Kayah people. He has been completing the project stateside, living right here in the Triad. In a couple of weeks he will be returning to Southeast Asia
His key assistant for this project was a refugee who has now resettled in High Point. Saw Ler Phaw arrived last week and lives in an apartment on Ardale. He speaks English, Karen, Karenni, Burmese and Thai. The Thai is important because Pastor I.I. is fluent in Thai. Attached is a picture of his family along with Ma Nay Htun their neighbor. Ma Nay Htun and her husband, Be Aye have been showing these new arrivals the ropes.

A man previously arrested for digging up bodies and eating them was arrested again after authorities in Pakistan said they found the head of a young child in his home.
The BBC reports that convicted cannibal Mohammad Arif Ali was taken into custody on Monday morning after police in Darya Khan, Pakistan, raided his home following reports of a bad smell emanating from the residence.
"We found the severed head of a young child, about 2 or 3 years old," Ameer Abdullah Khan, superintendent of police in Darya Khan, said. "They probably dug up his body from a grave, but the identity of the child and the graveyard from where his body might have been stolen is not clear."
The Express Tribune reports that Arif Ali and his brother, Mohammad Farman Ali, were imprisoned in 2011 for digging up as many as 150 bodies and eating their flesh. They were both sentenced to two years in prison.
Farman Ali is also wanted in connection with the latest incident.
"I'm not a doctor, but these guys are trouble," Chief Constable Zafar Iqbal of the Bhakkar Police said, according to NBC News. "They've served time before. Maybe they have psychological problems, or maybe they're just bums. No wives, a family that doesn't talk to them, and a community that shuns them."
NBC News also reports that Arif Ali was charged with various crimes, including terrorism.
According to the Tribune, Pakistan has no specific law against cannibalism.

Ethnomusicology is the study of music-particularly that outside the Western classical tradition-in its social and cultural context. In 2008, the course focuses on the musical cultures of one large geographical area: the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia, where the interaction of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism has produced both convergence and contrast in the rich array of musical traditions shaped by the Abrahamic belief systems and the social practices that have emerged from them. Open to all students. Reading music not a prerequisite.
The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course.

-I really enjoy shower scenes, especially if they have the body for the scene,lol
-Idk the main lead is kinda cute but the hair cut he has kinda bowl-shaped isn't it? XD
-the guy following/stalking him needs to work on his stalking skills,lol so obvious. He caught you why try to hide behind a post,lol
-if i was the girl i would be creeped out, why bulge you eyes out like that it's creepy, especially when she has already a bad impression of you. Seriously dude stop staring like you want to kill her or something,lol
-my reaction when his "son" spit at him "omg,jajaja""ewww he had his mouth open"
-wow a bunch of people saw the accident and no one rushes to help him tsk tsk tsk when they finally do go they're like look at all that blood. Maybe it just me but i didnt see all the blood everyone was talking about
-and no one is calling the ambulance but she's calm enough to call the ambulance,though a little late no, but at least she didn't carry him on her back and rushed him to the nearest hospital.
-ugh there is always politics involved =/
-just ten days more, that's all he had to wait but i guess seeing that much bullying is too much and in the end waren(?) kim dies, but I blame the cop for letting the other prisoner do what he wanted and provoke the main lead.
-…and im lost,lol I think ima have to start writting this post after I watch each episode of this drama. 1st episode and im lost already oh boy,lol
so far im liking this drama the main lead is all full of negativity(its understandable) while the other guy is positive regardless of where he is.

Archaeologists have been able to figure out many amazing things about Paleoindians (first human occupants of North America). For example:
- Paleoindians lived in Maine while remnants of the ice sheet were still here (~13,000 to 10,000 years ago).
- They made beautiful tools, spears, axes, and points from high quality materials sourced from distant quarries.
- Different groups traded with one another during seasonal migration, while following herds of wooly mammoths and caribou.
I don't remember learning about this in school, and I wish I did. I was instead drilled with "In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue", which is nice, but an article in National Geographic this month says the explorers were looking for good places to grow sugar.

…becoming? Aren't we already there?
I see the word 'wussies' in Rendell's quote with a blank underneath. We have been known as a nation of heroes, of courage, of greatness, hope, of a better future. But now the blank is filled with language like politicians, critics, saps, schemers, weakness, greed, envy, sloth, spineless morons, blamers. This last is what holds us back; although we live in our future and must be content with our present, we do nothing but put blame on our past. We cannot confront the idea that it is us, the iconic, media-glorified 'best' of us, who are truly to blame, and we have allowed it to be so. We are wussies, spineless, weak, unable to stand and take it for our own mistakes. We were once known as heroes, and back then we were. And as the years come and go, pieces of that world we had fall behind us without a second glance.
Almost three weeks ago we lost an icon of that heroism. Five days later I discovered that loss through a Facebook post of an article run by NPR. I found a newspaper to find out more. I searched for over an hour for the name Dick Winters and found nothing. Finally the next day I found something. And article from his hometown of Hershey, PA. It was on page ten, only eight lines. A man who was a hero, and who "served in a company of heroes," lost on page ten. What held the eye of the people? What did they read and brood over from that piles of paper? The bi-annual shooting and who was to blame.
We emphasize that which makes our world crumble and urge it forward to push us off the edge all the faster instead of striving for the honor which we once held thanks to men like Major Dick Winters. We hide behind the pain of today because we can't bare the idea that we are not the heroes we were. We glorify war without giving praise to those who fight it, we criticize pain and suffering without lifting our finger to stop it. What do you call such a person who crouches behind the thing that blocks the truth? I'd call that a wussy.
One thought on ""We are becoming a nation of ______.""
I really like your non-fiction stuff! Haha, I like "alot" of your stuff, but the rest I want to further comment on via email. This piece and the Tucson piece though, I have no real comments on other than I really enjoyed reading them. You do something more important in your non-fiction than seeking answers; you pose great questions.

Shift-click in workpad?
Posted: Fri Feb 24, 2006 3:26 pm
The shift-click to open an item in the default browser doesn't appear to work on workpads. Is there any way that function could be implemented? I know you also mentioned in the future allowing users to set a 'open in default browser' option so all items open in the default browser so perhaps that would cover this as well.

"I swing open a hollow wooden door with force. I walk in. I glide with persistance. The emptiness of the room; so vivid; begins to fill my heart. I take a deep breath and move forward. Dark. So very dark. I believe but begin to question myself. I let myself a little lose trying to feel something; anything. The huge rounds of the shadow begin to approach me; nearing me with motive. I feel cautious but somehow manage to catch myself. There are broken pieces of glass scattered randomly like blood in a crime scene. I move forward but slightly towards my left this time and stop. A mirror. A perfect yet insignificant mirror stands a few feet ahead of me. It shines. I can see myself. The wounds of my past have healed; leaving behind obscure scars on my cheeks, forehead and parts of my neck and hands. I feel empowered by the idea of saddness and i feel it; preserve it; and adore it."

Care Cases provide comfort to foster kids
Imagine having to leave your home and family with no notice, with only the clothes on your back and a personal item or two stuffed into a garbage bag.
That's exactly what happens to many children suddenly placed into our foster care system. And it's why Paul Snyder III, deacon of St. Mary Parish in Swormville, and his wife, Susan, have started a special mission to help.
Since last year, the Snyders, with the help of the community, have made more than 700 "Care Cases" for local children placed into foster homes. Filled with pajamas, a blanket, stuffed animal, personal care items, and a book or journal, each case, or duffel bag, is customized for boys and girls in different age groups. They are outfitted with reaffirming tags stating, "You matter" and "This belongs to:" where the child's name can be added. Care Cases are distributed to foster care agencies, whose social workers distribute them to the children.
"We wanted to give them some dignity and let them know someone cares about them," said Susan Snyder. "This is a difficult time in their lives and we've met a lot of people through the foster care system who went through the same thing and explained to us what this has meant to them."
The Snyders are thankful to community members and businesses who have generously backed their initiative with time and donations. There are currently 974 foster care children in Erie County, ranging from birth to 21 years old. Michele Pfeffer, director of children services, says the Care Cases are just what children and teens need at a traumatic time in their lives.
"When you remove a child from their home, they will grab onto something that's theirs and this is what [Care Cases] try to do for kids. It's never easy, but this makes it a little easier for them to have something that's their own — something that no one will take away from them," said Pfeffer.
If you would like to support the Care Cases of WNY mission, call 465-8917 or visit Care Cases of WNY on Facebook to learn more.

MM March Sale Day-2: Average Up 36%
A pair of outstanding colts shared the honours as prices soared with the 2015 Magic Millions Gold Coast March Yearling Sale declared a "roaring success" after another great of selling yesterday. Thanks to a revitalised QTIS scheme, increased prize money and the announcement of Australia's richest raceday including a $1 million QTIS feature, the sale gross rose 57 per cent on last year's auction and the average price climbed over 36 per cent. The clearance rate was a record for the March Yearling Sale at 81 per cent. Youngsters by Turffontein and Northern Meteor topped the day's proceedings and rounded out the sale with the honour of being joint sale toppers when selling for $170,000. Top Brisbane trainer Kelly Schweida secured his top pick of the sale, the Turffontein half brother to his talented stable runners Cape Kidnappers and Tiger Dimejan early on Tuesday afternoon. Catalogued as lot 270, the bay colt was presented at the sale by Glenlogan Park. He is the seventh foal of the city winning and top producing Red Ransom mare Kidnapper. "He's a very nice horse and I'm delighted to be able to purchase him," Schweida said. "He will be syndicated amongst owners of Cape Kidnappers and Tiger Dimejan and other stable clients." Meanwhile, Lot 391, the Northern Meteor-Rose Island colt from the draft of Wattle Brae Stud sold late in the evening for $170,000 to leading trainer Barry Baldwin. The colt is the third foal of the lightly raced Fusaichi Pegasus mare Rose Island - a half sister to group performer Bound to Blush. He hails from the same family as Gr1 winner Keeper. "He's a nice, neat colt who looks the ideal horse for next year's Magic Millions (2YO Classic)," Baldwin said. At the close of the sale over $8.68 million (up 57% on 2014) was traded on 297 lots sold at an average price of $29,227 (up 36%) the clearance rate soared to 81 per cent - well up on the 69 per cent recorded last year. "It's been a staggering sale from start to finish," Magic Millions Managing Director Vin Cox said. "By every measure the sale is a roaring success." He added, "The success of the sale can be wholly attributed to the prize money increases in Queensland racing. Since Kevin Dixon and his team have taken over Racing Queensland there has been a seismic shift in the attitude of all participants."

The Datasaurus Dozen is a set of datasets with the same summary statistics. They retain the same summary statistics despite having radically different distributions. The datasets represent a larger and quirkier object lesson that is typically taught via Anscombe's Quartet (available in the 'datasets' package). Anscombe's Quartet contains four very different distributions with the same summary statistics and as such highlights the value of visualisation in understanding data, over and above summary statistics. As well as being an engaging variant on the Quartet, the data is generated in a novel way. The simulated annealing process used to derive datasets from the original Datasaurus is detailed in "Same Stats, Different Graphs: Generating Datasets with Varied Appearance and Identical Statistics through Simulated Annealing" < http://dx.doi.org/10.1145/3025453.3025912>.
This package wraps the awesome Datasaurus Dozen dataset.
The Datasaurus was created by Alberto Cairo in this great blog post.
Datasaurus shows us why visualisation is important, not just summary statistics.
He's been subsequently made even more famous in the paper Same Stats, Different Graphs: Generating Datasets with Varied Appearance and Identical Statistics through Simulated Annealing by Justin Matejka and George Fitzmaurice.
In the paper, Justin and George simulate a variety of datasets that the same summary statistics to the Datasaurus but have very different distributions.
This package looks to make these datasets available for use as an advanced Anscombe's Quartet, available in R as
Currently, only available on GitHub, so use
devtools to install the package
You can use the package to produce Anscombe plots and more.
library(ggplot2)library(datasauRus)ggplot(datasaurus_dozen, aes(x=x, y=y, colour=dataset))+geom_point()+theme_void()+theme(legend.position = "none")+facet_wrap(~dataset, ncol=3)
library(devtools)test()#> Loading required package: testthat#> Testing datasauRus#> datasets: ......................#> Raw files: .#>#> DONE ======================================================================
Anyone getting involved in this package agrees to our Code of Conduct. If someone is breaking the Will Wheaton rule aka Don't be a dick, or breaking the Code of Conduct, please let me know at [email protected]
When you file a bug report, please spend some time making it easy for us to follow and reproduce. The more time you spend on making the bug report coherent, the more time we can dedicate to investigate the bug as opposed to the bug report.
Got an idea for how we can improve the package? Awesome stuff!
Please raise it with some succinct information on expected behaviour of the enhancement and why you think it'll improve the package.
We really want people to contribute to the package. A great way to start doing this is to look at the help wanted issues and/or contribute an example.
Examples for this package are done in base R or with ggplot2 as an optional example, using the structure:
if(require(ggplot2)){#ggplot2 code here}
As this is a data package, most of the documentation is sitting in one file (
R/Datasaurus-package.R) so we keep the examples in a separate directory (
datasetname.R. To reference an example file, add the line
@example inst/datasetname.R in the relevant documentation section of
We're relatively loose on coding conventions.
theme_minimal where axes labels matter and
theme_void when they do not but I'm OK with the default ggplot2 theming if you want to avoid writing longer ggplot2 code

It was not one of my better weekends. I'm very tired today and not dealing too well. There are a bunch of things I've been trying to do after work or on the weekends, but by the time I get to that point I'm too tired to do them. I'm still battling the elusive toilet issue; I did manage to replace the fill valve, but now it appears that I need to replace the flapper as well. The toilet also bit me- I lost a nice chunk of skin in between the knuckles on my left hand.
Mostly I was just very tired and run down the whole weekend. My pain levels were much higher than they've been in some time and I didn't deal with it very well. I managed to overdo things trying to vacuum and had to pass off to hubby halfway through. I don't like vacuuming, but I still try to do it every other week just to keep up with the cat hair. Being able to vacuum is a certain accomplishment for me since it does aggravate my shoulders and elbows. Not being able to accomplish even that was very frustrating.
I spent some time moving around chairs this weekend. Because of my elbows I was told not to use an armchair at the desk. My hands have been so much better that I thought I would try swapping it back since the lower chair was aggravating my back and hips. Almost instantly my elbows became much worse. I've now traded chairs again and I'm trying one of the dining chairs at my home desk to see if that is more comfortable.
Today has not been much better. Dragon froze and crashed my browser. I have things working again, obviously, but there's still a lot I need to learn about how to use Dragon effectively. At least at this point, I am not sure that speaking my typing is any faster than actually typing it myself. I don't think I realized how much I revise as I type until I started using a tool like this. I do want to give it a solid try however, so that I can better understand it.
Mostly, I am just tired. I feel overwhelmed by everything. I'm thinking about taking one or two days off just to rest and catch up on things around the house so that I don't feel quite so swamped. In good news, I have been working on some craft projects again, even if it's only for an hour or so each Saturday. It really does make me feel better and it's nice to have that sense of accomplishment. I think I need to do more crafting. I also had a really good time having dinner with friends Friday night. I wish I had the time and energy to do that sort of thing more often. Look for at least one product review later this week.

*The following is a snippet of an untitled writing project I'm working on for this blog. It's a snippet of a larger chapter on the mission of the Church.
Counter or Sub?
Once the church strays from her core mission, she will entangle herself with things that undermine the very mission of the church. In our haste to deal with the depravity of culture, some of us have created our own subculture in which to escape.
For instance, in a recent article, the Los Angeles Times reported in a column entitled "What Would Jesus Sell?" on the staggering profitability of the Christian retail industry, especially those that offer products with Bible verses tattooed on them. Plain white golf balls might work for Tiger Woods but for the believer, we must have John 3:16 on them. Ladies, do you want to smell heavenly? Well, there is now Virtuous Woman to catch that unsuspecting unbeliever's attention. As its creator insists, "It should be enticing enough to provoke question: 'What's that you're wearing?….Then you take that opportunity to speak of your faith. They've opened the door, and now they're going to get it." I suppose that I have labored in vain, preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ while wearing that heathen Calvin Klein's Escape perfume (it's still my favorite perfume).
The article was headed for my trash bin until I read further and found an interesting insight from Alan Wolfe, a political scientist and director of Boston College's Boisi Center for Religion and American Public Life. Wolfe states, "It's as if they're saying the task of bringing people to Jesus is too hard, so let's retreat into a fortress."
What Wolfe calls a fortress, I call an unhealthy subculture. Essentially, we create faith in a vacuum, inviting unbelievers into the suction of our stifling, religious, and sometimes, graceless worlds. I am not saying that notebooks that say "I Love Jesus" are wrong. But I believe that if we allow products to replace engaging people with two-footed proclamation of the gospel, then we are fooling ourselves. The Great Commission, not our products, is what we are to be about. If Jesus took a cord to the peddlers in the temples, I wonder what He would do at our local bookstores and "conferences." I shudder to even think about it.

Rebecca Peters quote from "The Gun Debate" with Wayne LaPierre.
Cheif Justice of the Arfcom Intergalactic Court of Appeals
Hmmm.....wonder what protects and insures that we have democracy?
Could it be guns?
What a dumbass.
"When I read about the evils of drinking, I decided to give up reading."
- Henny Youngman
Until democracy decides that it wants to kill them.
I am the Poo Czar.
Rest in Peace Mighty Poo Thread... Rest in Peace.
+1, Democracy bad, literally means "rule of the mob"
So why don't they ban guns in their countries and leave the US alone?
Cheif Justice of the Arfcom Intergalactic Court of Appeals
Oh Yes , I'll just stand in the middle of the fight going on around me and wait for someone with kind words to save me. I am so sick of the clucking sheep in this country.
IIRC, in 1934 Adolf Hitler was elected Chancellor of Germany ina plebiscite election with 90% of the vote.
Sounds like I do need guns. To protect myself, my family and my country from people like her.
That's actually kind of funny in a way. When lib/coms ask me why I need guns I always tell them it is to protect myself from liberals like them who would infringe on my rights and freedoms. "What? You'd shoot me...?" You bet your ass.
because the U.S. is supposedly supplying all the guns?
Since when is the US supplying Kalashnikovs to Uganda?
Cheif Justice of the Arfcom Intergalactic Court of Appeals
No, I'd shoot the illiterate, drug-addicted welfare m----y you'd sick on my ass. We all know how this sort of thing would unfold. Think LA in 1992. Eliteist libs in the media stir up a bunch of racial shit and then step back and allow the process to unfold. Dan Rather and Al Gore don't need guns.
Except for the RKBA, it would be a slam dunk.
I was thinking along the lines of protection FROM democracy.
John Kerry is a traitorous pig.
The simple answer is that social crusaders aren't content unless everyone else heed them some attention & follows whatever they say. She doesn't want to acknowledge the fact the places like Rhwanda, Somalia, Uganda, & the like aren't even democracies in the 1st place. Funny: the NRA membership a represents a free nation, while IANSA membership represents, among others, 3rd-world dictatorships & warlord-controlled enclaves. Yet somehow, I am supposed to believe that IANSA & its membership have a better take on how countries should conduct their internal affairs.
Go figure.
In her closing statement, she mentioned mass human rights abuse ..
Wayne should have said in his followup (maybe he does, I'm listening to it now):
These human rights abuses and massacres are done by GOVERNMENTS .. to whom we gladly sell armament
It seems to me that the UN has devolved into an organization that is purely about maintaining control in the hands in which it currently sits. That is why they are so worked up about Iraq and Saddam Hussein. If it can happen to him, it can happen to them and that scares the hell out of them.
That sounds good until the wrong guy cons his way into office, it also implies that non-gun owners have something to fear from gun owners. Like black people and all of those other kinds of low life..
One of the biggest frauds spread by schools. Democracies are horrible ways to run government. Most people don't realize that we are a Republic were the Rule of Law is the law of the land, not the whims of the people.
I am going to live forever if the good die young
I am amazed that they can get away with it when the Pledge of Allegiance is said every morning.
...And to the Republic for which it stands...
Now lets learn about how great the democracy that we live in is.
I am the Poo Czar.
Rest in Peace Mighty Poo Thread... Rest in Peace.
Sounds like she remembers hearing; "Make love not war" some where years ago.
"Never shall I fail my comrades........"
The simple fact is that a gun in the hands of a Citizen is that Citizens ulitimate "NO!" to any government action upon that Citizen.
While the result of government intrusion may include the death of that Citizen, it still places that "final choice" in somone's hands other than the government (and will most likely result in several less government Functionaries in the process).
This is something that socialists/Communists and all those that will not accecpt the idea of true freedom of the individual cannot allow to take place. The State must be in control and having individual Citizens with the power to say "NO!" must be overcome at all costs for they know that it doesn't take many Citizens with the power to say "NO!" to throw their carefully crafted plans into chaos. Those first ones that resist government power may die, but it won't take long for the sheeple-at-large to get the idea that they may be next, thereby tipping the ballance of power, or at least destroying the carefully crafted lie of "We're from the government and we're here to help you."
On Sepember 13, 2004 "Free America" became a bit more free with the sunset of the AWB. On that same day California banned the .50BMG. The nation looks to California as a "trendsetter". Ignore what happened here at your own peril.
Actually, these days, a lot of the guns are going the other direction. Many of the former Communist block countries are dumping their small arms (Mosins, SKSs, CZ-52s, Tokarovs, Makarovs, etc.) for cash, and most of these arms are going to America.
Hate the idea of PRESIDENT John Kerry appointing our next 3 Supreme Court judges? Then put your money where your mouth is – Make a contribution to George W. Bush's reelection campaign at www.GeorgeWBush.com
I've watched just about all of this and my head is ready to explode.
Peters is a fucking polyanna who wants global communism.
She obviously doesn't understand the American psyche and our dedication to freedom,as well as our willingness to fight in its name and defend ourselves from tyranny.
She is an obvious American hater. She hates our culture, our way of life, and our love for INDIVIDUAL freedom.
She, and types like her, inluding those who are US citizens, are the ENEMY. They are not deserving of a "debate" on the issue, for any debate with them will only lead to capitulation, in some form, to their cause.
We should be prepared to take whatever means necessary to deal with these destructive ideas and the individuals who seek to enslave us with them--by politics, or any other means.

It was my last month in Perth, I was juggling my exams, deadlines for major assignments, a part-time job, as well as packing up to go back to Singapore for good!
Now I am back in Singapore for good am looking for a permanent job to the best of my ability, meanwhile I got an offer at a bank and we will see how it goes first!
If you all must know, remember all those months back when I proudly claimed the top ten dishes I am gonna make when I'm back in Singapore? Well, I started off by making two of those; the marble cheesecake and the kueh tart. They were both an astounding success and I enjoyed making them both as well.
In my next few posts I will be uploading the pictures of my endeavors!
Past few days, I have made chicken rice, chicken curry, mee soto with begedil and a variety of other foods! I am gonna be more hardworking with my blog from now onwards!

Still featuring my beautiful cowgirl daughter, as I have in the past two posts.
This shot was part of her senior portrait session. As a photographer Mom, I got the honor of taking my daughter's senior photos as well as her wedding photos two years ago.
This photo won a second-place award in the professional portrait category of the Benton County Fair a few summers ago.
Recently I entered it in a special category through my photography club – Meterite, in Salem, Oregon. (For more on Meterite Camera Club, click here.) The category was Sweet, Smooth, Curvy. These special category competitions are open to individual interpretations.
It took second place, which pleased me – there are some amazingly talented photographers and post-processors in our club. One judge commented on how much he liked the shadow play on my daughter's hat.

My avatar…..
August 13, 2008
Once upon a time, in a small little town on a small little island Singapore, a boy was presented with a key chain for his birthday.
It's a small little "golf ball" dangling at the end of the chain and on that ball is imprinted with the numbers "88".
Through many twists and turns, this small boy found his place in the world. But, the key chain never left him ……
Neither did the numbers "88*.
So there you have it, the name "Eric88Ling"!
And this week, I finally got around to work with my designer to do up a small logo which will serve as my avatar, watermark ….. anything I want to identify as coming from me…….
My designer told me, the logo looks a little like a cartoonized pig because that's my Chinese zodiac sign…. yeah yeah yeah….

"Experience with Nnnow"
Selection Experience
I shopped many products from online stores like shoes, watch, face wash, flip flops, shower gel, kids toys etc. But, I prefer Nnnow for online clothing and footwear shopping cause they have the most trending looks and by going through there site I also get to know about styling those pair of shoes on different occasions. Yes, Nnnow gives nice discounts. Mostly I prefer this because almost all products showing in this site delivery are available at a place which is a village, which is placed in the remote area of Kerala.
I must tell you only a few sites are there who provide product in such remote areas. Nnnow is one of those stores.
Coupon Availablilty
I mostly search all online websites before buying a product to find the best deal. After liking a product I read the reviews which helps a lot in buying a product. Yes, I always search Nnnow coupons before shopping a product. I used to search in sites like paytm, freecharge, Jabong, Flipkart, snapdeal to find a relevant deal including latest coupons which could get me a discount on all my products.
I used one coupon on nnnow while buying this pair of shoes which got me 100Rs. OFF on the final bill. The code was STYLE100 and I got this one on google, I don't remember the site name properly cause there were so many sites offering different coupons.
Payment Process
Product booking is faster in comparison to Jabong or myntra. The main difficulty faced during booking product is server error and suddenly hike in the price products like whenever there is a sale going on for a week or so the prices fluctuate as well like one day the shoes were displayed under the price range of 990RS. but, on the 3rd day of sale, the shoes were displayed under the price range of 1100Rs. I guess they work the price of the product based on the demand.
In case of refund for prepaid ordered cancellation, the refund is a bit slower and on one instance I have to call Nnnow's customer care executive 3 times and after several days actually, my cash was credited into my account.
Refund/Cashback Process
Just like I explained above the refund takes a lot of time when not done right. I am happy that at least they have a contact no. to discuss such problems, not like other stores who only provides you with an email-id in case of such issues.
The products are delivered within 4 to 5 days in most cases. Also, the products delivered to the mentioned address. The product quality is pretty good but most of my products come through Indian Posts and once the product reached there instead of delivering it me, they call me and tell to collect the product from the post office which is not fair as I have already paid the money for home delivery.
User Interface
The user interface of Nnnow's app is pretty good especially I like that scanner to find a product and it is very easy to navigate through the app to find a product. The difficulty I faced while searching a product is that a lot of items which is not fulfilled by Nnnow are showing on the list and also showing the different price for the same product. Which makes it hard to decide which one to select.
Overall Experience
Overall, shopping experience with Nnnow is good and I like the way you treat customers. I would suggest Nnnow implement a cash on delivery to remote areas which will attract more customers. Also, a bit of extra care must be given while shipping products like perfumes, white clothes, etc. as they reached my destination in leaking condition or damaged.

Flipkart offers the best deal as compared to other competitors. The best part is the assurance of the name of flipkart which makes me feel secure to shop from flipkart.
The delivery is very fast and if there is any problem in the product then the new product arrives on the same day when the pickup boy will come to pick up the wrong product. Also the refund policy is best and fastest I have ever seen in any online company.

- I purchased a pair of sport shoes from Ajio. Being a size 13uk it's difficult to find my size on most off the online stores. Hence I was overjoyed to find my size on Ajio. I checked other sites like eBay and paytm but couldn't find my size. I purchased the item using an Ajio gift card of one thousand rupees which I got for 950 rupees and was pleasantly surprised to get a fifteen percent cashback after I signed up with Ajio special deals.

I also purchased purse from this site for my wife. Price of these products was very reasonable and quality was good compared to products available on other shopping sites. I have used all products purchase from this site well and I am very satisfied with them.

Reviewed By "Sudhanshu Surma"
- I was looking for a smart pair of flip-flops. I reviewed Snapdeal for the product options I had, since Snapdeal usually stocks the best of styles and brands. I zeroed in on a very smart cool Puma Red Odius Flip Flops, which had raked in some very positive reviews from other Snapdeal users. I then looked for the same product at various other sites like Flipkart, Amazon etc. to make sure the Snapdeal was giving me the best price online. I was also getting a great cashback offer from Freecharge for the shopping on Snapdeal.

Editorial By KAY MATTHEWS
As I post this editorial on La Jicarita the Interstate Stream Commission board is preparing to make a final decision on whether funding from the Arizona Water Settlements Act (AWSA) will be spent to build a diversion project on the Gila River, the last free-flowing major river in New Mexico, or to fund other alternative water projects. At its previous meeting, the ISC staff recommended to the commission that 90 percent of the available funding be used for the diversion while 10 percent, or $7.85 million, be allocated for non-diversion alternatives. A restraining order, filed by former ISC director Norm Gaume, that prevented the commission from making its final decision regarding the diversion, was lifted on November 20 (his lawsuit will be heard in April of 2015). Gaume contends that the commission violated the Open Meetings Act during its hearings on the Gila River.
Opponents of the diversion project will hold a press conference today at 1:30 pm outside the meeting at the Albuquerque/Bernalillo County Government Center, Vincent Griego Chambers, 1 Civic Center Plaza, Albuquerque.
In February of 2003 La Jicarita co-founder Mark Schiller and I interviewed Estevan López, who had just been appointed director of the Interstate Stream Commission (and now appears headed to the Bureau of Reclamation, as its boss), which governs New Mexico's interstate stream contracts and is the agency that oversees development and implementation of the state's regional water plans. This is part of what Lopez said in that interview:
"Let's have a discussion about growth, then. Is that something we ought to be trying to control? Frame it in terms of the available resources. I think there is a great deal that can be done in terms of efficiencies in urban environments as well. Perhaps there are ways we can access some untapped resources, like brackish water that's deep beneath the surface, treating that to drinking water quality. But we still need to have the discussion about growth, whether it's wise for us to continue with unlimited growth. A lot of people say that you have to have growth to have a viable economy, but I don't know if that's a valid assumption. People need to weigh in on these issues. But even assuming we have those debates, and make the decision that we shouldn't grow, we still have a huge amount of work to do in water planning to overcome the momentum of our current growth."
As I've reported over the years in La Jicarita, we've tried to have a discussion about "growth" and "efficiency in urban environments" and "water planning to overcome the momentum of our current growth" in the context of regional water planning, but either Lopez didn't represent ISC policy or he was just mouthing platitudes. The ISC was complicit in the highjacking of several regional water plans and now is preparing to implement the ill-conceived Gila River diversion dam that will cost taxpayers millions of dollars. Whenever there's been a choice of less costly, conservation based water projects or big projects to move lots of water around, the ISC is usually on the side of the latter. It's thinking very similar to the that of the United States Forest Service over many decades: if we don't spend the big bucks on timbering, even beyond a sustainable yield, we won't get the big federal bucks. If the ISC doesn't approve the big diversion and water delivery projects, they don't get the bucks from the legislature. They're certainly not getting it for planning.
Gila River Diversion Project
The groups fighting this plan—Gila Conservation Coalition, Sierra Club, Audubon Society—and the many individuals, including former ISC director Norm Gaume, have made substantive arguments against it:
- There is ample evidence, which the ISC has ignored, that the amount of water will be less than half the 14,000 acre foot per yield that is allocated in the settlement. Norm Gaume submitted a written report to the ISC at its April 30, 2014 meeting in Tucumcari in which he challenged the model the agency used to quantify the amount of water available from the diversion. The ISC denied his request for the model spreadsheet used to calculate water availability, but after a successful claim under the Inspection of Public Records Act, Gaume was able to calculate that the model results show an annual quantity of available diversion water at 8,000 afy, not 14,000 afy. In testimony before the state legislature in October of 2014 Gaume claimed the "fatally flawed" engineering report on the proposed diversion was reviewed by a consultant hired by the ISC in March of 2014 that found "The expected [reservoir] seepage, when combined with evaporation loses, could easily equal or succeed the planned minimum annual diversion of 10,000 afy, which would result in no available usable water from the project."
- Taxpayers will have to supplement the $66 million funding provided under the AWSA to meet the projected diversion cost of over a billion dollars. In his report Gaume also shows evidence that rates for project beneficiaries would more than double and that operational and energy costs (water will have to be pumped across the Continental Divide) have not been factored into the process.
- The proposed diversion would also hugely impact the headwaters of the Gila River, habitat for federally listed endangered birds, fish, and snakes. Proposed reservoirs would reduce small floods and high-flow pulses that are important for the plant and animal life in this riparian corridor.
Regional Water Plans
All of us who've been involved in the regional water planning process as non-governmental stakeholders trying to address critical water issues within both the planning and implementation processes have bumped up against the ISC. A member of the Middle Rio Grande Water Assembly told me, when push comes to shove, state agencies still stick to "top down" as opposed to "bottom up" planning when it comes to decision making.
When the Taos Regional Water Plan was presented to the ISC for approval in 2007 the commission voted to delay approval until the "parties could reach consensus." The "parties" they referred to were the stakeholders, who represented unincorporated communities, environmental organizations, acequias, mutual domestics, and other water users who met for over two years, as volunteers, to draft the plan, and who came to public meetings across the region to help devise critical strategies, which included a priority of keeping water in its area of origin. The "consensus" that was trying to be reached was the creation of a public welfare oversight committee to look at all water transfers both within and from the region, and based on the public welfare criteria that had been developed (cultural protection, agrarian character, watershed health, and long-term economic development), make an informed recommendation to the Office of the State Engineer (OSE) as to whether the transfer was in the public interest.
Did we come to consensus? Hell no. With the backing of the ISC the "decision makers," Taos region municipalities and water district officials, along with Abeyta Water Rights adjudication parties who had objected to the public welfare component of the regional water plan, informed the stakeholders that their job was done and were no longer part of the process. It was time for the decision makers to draft a final plan and that would not include a public welfare statement with a public welfare committee to review water transfers.
Several years later Taos County stepped up to the plate and approved an ordinance that established such a committee, which makes recommendations to the county commissioners, instead of the State Engineer, whether a transfer is in the best interest of the citizens of Taos County. I've written extensively about that ordinance, and about the various water transfers the committee has reviewed (I served as chair of the committee for three years). Again, controversy developed when the committee challenged several transfers made under the auspices of the Abeyta settlement, and as a result, I ended up resigning.
Since then the committee has been reduced from nine to five members and is posed to change the bylaws at the December 15 meeting, which I plan on attending to see what's up. It seems the county wants to make the committee a more "in-house" function of the Planning Department and diminish its role as an informational conduit to the public (the Public Welfare Ordinance states that one of the purposes of the committee is "To inform residents of the County about proposed appropriations and changes in point of diversion, place of use or purpose of use of water from and within Taos County").
The Middle Rio Grande Water Assembly, which drafted its regional water plan in 2004, has seen considerable strife and controversy over the years as plan implementation has slowed to a crawl and numerous changes to the water situation have occurred. While some positive steps have been taken to conserve water, initiate the San Juan/Chama drinking water diversion plan (some folks would challenge that as a success), and restore the Rio Grande bosque, this plan has experienced the same division between the stakeholders and the decision makers as in the Taos Regional plan. Over the past few years the ISC has initiated a process to update all the regional water plans. Unfortunately, in the Middle Rio Grande, the Council of Governments has taken over the organization of the steering committee assigned to guide the update and the Water Assembly has been denied membership on that committee. The Assembly represents the diverse community of stakeholders, not the governmental interests that are now guiding the process.
The elephant in the room in the Middle Rio Grande Regional Water Plan is the fact that the waters remain unadjudicated. The (OSE) and the ISC don't want to touch that adjudication with a ten-foot pole. This is Frank Titus, a member of the Water Assembly and longtime hydrologist who has worked for the USGS and New Mexico Tech: "I suggest it's because the concept of adjudicating the Middle Rio Grande ranges from worrisome, to threatening, to terrifying for individuals who understand its potential ramifications. This includes personnel of the OSE and many legislators." And what are the ramifications? Number one, an evaluation of the "voodoo" accounting that has allowed the over appropriation of water will threaten many water rights; and number two, agricultural surface water rights are senior and underground water rights that have been pumped to facilitate urban growth and large farm irrigation are junior. The powers that be don't want to adjudicate when it's urban water rights that are at risk.
The process to update the regional plans appears to lie squarely in the hands of the decision makers, not the stakeholders. Water policies that were developed by the stakeholders to address public welfare and conservation are subsumed in the rush to fund infrastructure projects that require the movement of water out of its area of origin. And as will no doubt be demonstrated in today's decision regarding the Gila River diversion, the ISC decision makers, just as the regional water plan decision makers, want to make these decisions without the scrutiny of the stakeholders.
I'd like to end with a quote that we ran in La Jicarita a number of years ago. It's taken from a study called "Climate Change and Its Implications for New Mexico's Water Resources and Economic Opportunities," by NMSU Agricultural Economics Professor Brian Hurd and UNM Civil Engineering Professor Julie Coonrod: "Under current climate there is virtually no spare water in New Mexico. Imagine a very plausible future, as this study attempts, of significantly less water and at the same time significantly more people." They warn us that water transfers from agriculture to urban use will hugely impact not only our ability to grow food in the future but our "environment, our identity, and the character of New Mexico. . . . Irrigated lands support more than crops. They provide habitat for wildlife, open space and scenic vistas for the backdrop to New Mexico's thriving art, tourist and recreation economies."

Over the past 8-9 years I've accrued school debts, credit card, small loan, and everything else kind of debt and because I've chosen as kid to not pay them back my credit is completely screwed and the debt pile is overwhelming.
I know that I made these decisions myself because I looked at it as "free money" but it's not and I need some serious help fixing this. I know what I have done is completely wrong but I can't change the past and I confess all of this and want to be transparent and truthful if I want help.
I'm a waiter at a restaurant because that's the only job my credit will allow me to get and the pay isn't enough to sustain myself and fix all of this.
I think that credit consolidation can be a good thing for some, but for me I believe the right thing to do because of my actions is that these companies that I've borrowed from should be paid in full since I used their money in full.
I've been praying for help but I need a miracle, like winning the lottery miracle. Please help.Return to Financial Prayers

Ernest Hemingway was a man who loved life. He was always seeking pleasure and enjoyment out of life and new experiences. But he was also very productive, turning out novel after novel, all of the highest literary quality, without ever seeming to have to curtail his other activities at all.
How did he do it? Well, this article looks through his writings for nuggets of advice on being productive and getting stuff done, from getting up early to get through his word count, to quantifying his progress. Who better to learn about productivity from than Papa Hemingway himself?
