Detoxification is the biochemical process that transforms non-water-soluble toxins and metabolites into water-soluble compounds that can be excreted in urine, sweat, bile or stool. Our body undergoes lots of wear and tear both inside and outside. Hence, body has to be detoxified in order for it to function properly and to promote general health and well-being.
Garlic and onion for detoxification!!!
Garlic and onions are rich in sulphur-containing compounds which are involved in sulfation, the main detox pathway for environmental chemicals and certain drugs and food additives. These also help with the elimination of harmful heavy metals from the body.
Garlic cleanses the respiratory system and purifies the blood. Garlic act on bile ducts, and activates gastric juices as well as cleansing the gastric system. It helps the body to naturally detox nicotine, and other toxins that can even help to reduce stress.
Tips: Eat 3-4 fresh garlic cloves every day. Crushed or grated garlic can be used for all gravies & curries; chopped raw onions can also be used in fresh salads, curds and raitas.

When my hometown of Vero Beach, Florida finally got its first Starbucks in 2007, it happened to be perfectly placed on the way to my high school. Like any other middle-aged working woman, my mom is not functional in the morning until she has her cup of coffee, and since she was my ride to school, a caffeine detour became part of my early morning routine. Within days, this habit grew to addiction.
When I came across CBS's report that climate change might be pushing coffee to extinction, Jon and I thought this would be perfect for our final multimedia project. You can follow the progress of our project and that of our classmates' projects on twitter @thinkfwd.
According to Todd Sanford, a climate scientist from the Union of Concerned Scientists, "Coffee likes a pretty narrow range of temperatures, and one of the hallmarks, really, of climate change, will be increased extremes in temperatures." Since coffee plans have adapted to specific climate zones, a temperature increase of even half a degree can make a big different.
The director of sustainability for Starbucks, Jim Hanna, said climate change is threatening the world's coffee supply. He told the Guardian newspaper, "What we are really seeing as a company as we look 10, 20, 30 years down the road — if conditions continue as they are — is a potentially significant risk to our supply chain, which is the Arabica coffee bean."
So what does this mean for your morning cup o' joe? It will most likely become increasingly more expensive as businesses such as Swing's Coffees are forced to pay more for the same coffee beans.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, a 1-pound can of ground coffee sold for an average of $5.10 in the U.S. in April, up from $3.64 the year before
As for the people who support your caffeine fix for a living, such as Luis Garzon, genetically modified coffee may be in the future.
Coffee extinction might be brewing…who wants to be around coffee drinks who can't get their fix in the morning? I don't.

This week has had the most ups and downs for sure.
The flight was AWESOME! Aunt Liz surprised me on the flight! She is so so so sweet! It was wonderful to see a face from home and of course she always comes bearing gifts!
We stayed the first night at the mission home and spent the next day touring Kirtland with all of the other missionaries that came in on our flight. We are the luckiest missionaries ever because Carl Anderson directed our tour! He knows everything there is to know about Kirtland! Elder Maxwell asked him to write a book specifically on the Savior's appearances in Kirtland and he also has a book about Joseph Smith in Kirtland. His knowledge of the Doctrine and Covenants is incomparable and it was a rare occurrence that the Community of Christ let him teach us about the Kirtland Temple from the Doctrine and Covenants while inside the temple.
We learned that there is NO place on the earth more sacred than the Prophet Joseph's office in the highest level of the Kirtland Temple and the School of the Prophets above the Newel K. Whitney store that the church owns. Second only to the holy land of Jerusalem due to the countless times the Father and the Son have appeared in those two places as well as in numerous other places in the land of Kirtland. That really hit me. Every time I give a tour in the School of the Prophets I am overwhelmed knowing I am teaching in the place where the Prophet Joseph, the Savior of the world, and our loving Father in Heaven have all taught.
It was a once in a lifetime day of learning about the Savior and the Father, about the early saints, and about the significance of this area. He gave us a fascinating handout of Kirtland prophesies that have come, or are coming to pass. I feel so honored to have been chosen to serve at such a place. Kirtland will be built up in the last day (D&C 124:83), what a responsibility the missionaries here in Ohio have to help bring that to pass and to prepare for the Savior!
My companion is Sister Clark and she has been out for 6 months. She is the sunshine of my life! She is so sweet and kind and we get along really well! I feel so lucky! We also have another Sister with us. She is our temporary companion. Her name is Sister Mitchell and she has been out for 9 months. That makes us a trio, or as I like to say, triceracomps (: Sister Mitchell is our temporary companion because Sister Clark and I are both new to the area and Sister Mitchell has been here for a while so she knows the ward and the investigators! It is great to have someone to phase us in!
This weekend marks the 10th anniversary of the dedication of the Kirtland Visitor's Center. We will be honored to have Elder Ballard come to speak to us VC sisters on Friday, Saturday for the adult session, and Sunday for Stake Conference!!!! I think it is so cool that he is allowing us to come to what they're calling the "VIP" meeting on Friday. I think he is actually coming to the Visitor's Center to meet with us! I am soooo excited! (: Before conference we had brunch at the Salmon's house. They are a family in our ward. Bro. Salmon said he would tag us in a pic on FB.
Conference was as awesome as always! Sadly I only got to hear one talk on Saturday :( All of the VC sisters who were assigned to work on Sat. were all curled up with blankets and snacks in one of the theaters at the VC. It was so fun! Until people kept coming in wanting tours -__- Hence I only got to see one talk. I didn't mind it when non-members came in for tours, but I had no sympathy for the members! They knew they should be watching! Instead they weren't and we didn't get to either.
It was, however, a miracle day. On Friday a lady named L, a non-member, came into the VC and we took her on a tour of the Newel K. Whitney store because she didn't have enough time for the whole thing. She felt the spirit SO strong in the School of the Prophets and when we told her the floor boards were original in the Revelation Room, the same ones that a Prophet of God walked and prayed on she took of her shoes and ran her feet along the wood. Her faith was inspiring. Afterwards she asked if she could bring her two daughters the next day. We were so excited!!! She brought her daughters and it was an amazing day. The tour took twice as long as Sister Clark and I taught the doctrine throughout the tour. Her sweet daughters, 8 and 10, felt the testifying of the Holy Ghost. They said, "I feel like my heart is...open. It's tingling!" "I think someone is giving me a hug right now." That family was prepared to receive the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. While in the School of the Prophets on of the little girls said she never wanted to leave because it was the best feeling of her whole life. Sister Clark and I were struggling to hold back our tears as we watched the testimonies of this family grow throughout the tour. They have agreed to meet with the missionaries in their area and we will continue to keep in contact with them (:
I also saw Sister Secrest! Unfortunately I was on another tour, but it was fun that she came to Kirtland! :D
Another investigator we are meeting with is slow to understand principles as it appears that his brain as been damaged from heavy substance abuse. Sister Mitchell said he is also schizophrenic, but I can't tell if that's true. He has spent a portion of his life in prison and has endured many difficult situations. How wonderful the power of the Atonement. I am excited to continue working to help him overcome his addictions and help him find happiness though the gospel. Our last lesson with him his brother's girlfriend came in and shared her inspiring story about overcoming addiction. She has felt Heavenly Father in her life as she has over come many of the same addictions as Scott. It was a miracle that she decided to listen to the lesson on that particular day. I really hope that she will continue to listen to the lessons and increase her faith.
|Sun porch in the house I live in!
My address is 7800 Kirtland-Chardon Rd. Kirtland, OH 44094 You should put it on the address tab of my blog because my mail just goes to the VC. I love you and miss you! Wish I had more time! I'm going to send a hand written letter too! I am going to use my debit card to buy a voice recorder because I HATE writing in my journal. I'm praying there's money on it. xoxoxoxox Write me hand-written letters! I love those! I still haven't heard from my sibs! miss you! crying right now! xoxoxo
(Sister Mohler and her companion live in a lovely little antique house. She said, "It's so roomy and all to ourselves! There are two floors, a basement, an attic, but one bathroom. It is really old and cutely historic inside." She sent a picture which I will not post due to safety reasons, but it is a darling house!)

Our young library patrons LOVE the "ology" books….Dragonology, Egyptology, Monsterology etc. Each book comes with items like envelopes stuffed with secret treasure, magnifying glasses to look at encrypted papers, pieces of topic-related memorabilia to really give kids a hands-on exploration of each subject. At first, we thought these books might be a lost cause…losing any of the items in the books would make for disappointed readers, but for the most part, our youngest readers seem to treat these books like they are actual treasure and care for them with the utmost respect.
So when I heard about this new book from Brad Meltzer, straight from the History Channel's show History Decoded, I got excited! It's called HISTORY DECODED: THE 10 GREATEST CONSPIRACIES OF ALL TIME. It's got all of the great conspiracies…from who shot JFK to the question about what's inside Fort Knox. But the best part is that each chapter includes a custom-designed envelope, made to look like something from the time period or case, and inside are facsimiles of relevant evidence. how about reviewing the will of John Wilkes Booth, or taking a close look at JFK's death certificate. Each envelope is meant to provide the reader with hands-on items to help them understand the cases better. Doesn't this sound like fun?
Whether or not this is a new trend, we'll have to wait and see.

City: Delphi, Greece
Address: Sygrou 15
Date: July 28, 2013
Meal: Lunch
Tales from my travels: We had just arrived at Delphi. We headed out in search of a restaurant where we could have lunch in this quaint little town. I could not help myself when we passed this restaurant as it is named after my favorite Greek god. It was a large and friendly atmosphere. We sat at the far end next to the open windows which looked out onto the beautiful landscape. I had spanakopita or Greek spinach pie. Unfortunately, they do not have website.

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Arizona's defense did the damage, and Josh McCown finally came through with a couple of big plays to Larry Fitzgerald. That was enough to give the Cardinals an ugly 20-10 victory over the Tennessee Titans, who were torn apart by injuries and buried by their own mistakes Sunday.
Cardinals story line
David Macklin returned an interception 61 yards for a touchdown and the Cardinals turned three Titans turnovers into 17 points. Neil Rackers kicked field goals of 33 and 24 yards for the Cardinals, who trailed 10-0 in the first quarter. The Cardinals (2-4) clinched the victory after LB Karlos Dansby's spectacular fourth-quarter sack of Billy Volek. Volek, who never saw the diving Dansby coming, fumbled and Dansby recovered at the Tennessee 34. On third-and-10, McCown hit Fitzgerald, who scored on a 34-yard play to make it 20-10 with 5:20 remaining.

Fun and good quality t-shirt
National Sarcasm Society (like we need your support) | Sarcastic Unisex T-shirt
Got it for my "sarcy" missus – and she loves it!
The t-shirt itself is very nice too, with excellent print quality. Missus is a 10-12, so got it in a small, to make it more of a "top" than a t-shirt.
There was no neck tag one this one (a nice bonus), instead all details were printed on the inside of the neck.
Washes great (missus has already used it a couple of times)!
Purchased with a discount, with the promise of an honest review… and I got one happy missus who loves the fun take on National Geographics logo.

I know this probably isn't the right place, btu...I absolutely love your Cobalt Firefox Theme! That said, there is one thing in 2.1.5 that's bothering me. Is there a way to make the tabs white again, ala 2.0.2 and 2.1.1 style? I know the blue glow is supposed to differentiate the tabs from one another, but a CSS chrome hack to make them white again would be great!
Great job btw!

I love the blue bible theme for Firefox, but have two problems with it. One is, it isn't using my Windows XP font from Windows theme. And add in icons are elevated on the toolbar. The font is the biggie for me as I use the same font for everything.
Thanks very much for a gorgeous theme! I hope you can help with the font issue particularly.
Kind regards,

When you see Jason Lee around campus, he'll probably look the same, but he doesn't feel the same these days since transferring from IT to teaching computer courses full time at HCC's Fort Campbell campus. "It's weird to work at the same place but be doing a totally different job," he says. Already, he's noticed the warm welcome from those who relied on him when we hit a tech glitch. We're sad to lose him as our go-to person but Jason says, "The faculty seems really happy to get someone they are familiar with and know."
In his summer CIT 105 course this summer, Jason drew heavily on a past experience teaching continuing education courses. Several years ago, he taught a few for Carol Kirves, who coordinates CE. "The classes had five to eight students," Jason says, and the classes were "Intro to Computers." These gave Jason hands on experience with a mix of students, some having no experience with a keyboard or mouse, while others were advanced and there to hone skills or learn new developments.
"That's the challenge, when everybody is not at the same level – when a class has such diversity of skill level." This helped prepare Jason for the college classroom where diversity of knowledge is never a surprise. "In basic computer courses, some students come right out of high school and have grown up with computers, tablets, and phones, whereas nontraditional students may not know how to copy/paste yet or save something to a USB."
Jason's first class as a new faculty member went well this summer. He used the first part of class for lectures and PowerPoint and then got the students doing their homework, pacing things so that he could actually check their homework before class ended.
He's already discovered using games in order to stimulate participation in what has always been the time honored short answer question or fill in the blank response. "The software to the textbook mentioned an online download for a Jeopardy game. It was a big hit; students who hadn't said much were calling out answers." Jason says the game includes low value and high value questions just like the television version. "I was impressed with how they enjoyed that kind of learning, and I'd like to find a more detailed version." Jason also used words like "fast paced" and "interactive" to describe Jeopardy.
Jason is doing a one year stint, filling a vacancy, but he can see already that his longtime leanings toward teaching are proving what he had hoped they would. Even when he finished his BA degree years ago, he wanted to try teaching and gradually get into it. The doors didn't open, but he waited and even completed his MA degree. It's early; he's taught the one course so far, but he says about teaching, "I think I'm really going to like it. I've always liked working with students." There's the secret, and it's no surprise to us. We're just glad he's teaching at HCC and didn't go elsewhere!

Laundering Your Baby's Clothes
After a baby arrives, it can seem as if the laundry doubles! Many parents think they need to use baby detergent to clean their little one's clothes. And when a newborn's skin is sensitive, this can be true.
But if baby detergent isn't getting rid of stains and odors as well as you'd like, it might be time to switch to a regular liquid detergent. (Liquid detergents can rinse out easier than powder detergents, so might be better for sensitive skin.)
Unless your baby has allergies, eczema/atopic dermatitis, or another condition causing sensitive skin, washing your little one's clothes with the rest of the family's clothes isn't likely to irritate your baby's skin.
If you switch from a baby detergent, test wash one piece of your baby's clothing with a color- and fragrance-free detergent. If you notice a skin reaction, stick with baby detergent for a little while longer. Whatever detergent you choose, avoid anti-static products or fabric softeners, which often have chemicals and fragrances that can irritate skin.
Note: Cloth diapers do need to be separated from your regular laundry because harsh detergents can cause diaper rash. Wash these with mild baby detergent in hot water and be sure to double rinse each load.

Today is the day, the Canadian National Exhibition begins today, here in Toronto. Can you believe this exhibition is 135 years old? I love the traditions of the exhibition and well they are always doing something new every year. You really do get the best mix, as a blogger this year I got an invite to Media Day, which was on Wednesday morning, it gave us a sneak peek of what is new at the EX.
We got to see to new acts Mr Spin and Pandoras Pink and Cascade are new to the Ex..find their shows for some great entertainment. Then one of our favorites is returning, The Flying Wallendas.
On the midway there is a new ride, but we love all the traditional rides as well, and there are a number that we have to do just as tradition.
Now when it comes to food at the Ex there are so so many options, and bacon is again back and on almost everything! For me I sampled some great vegan nachos, a great fried rice ball, and some sweet potato fries with nutella.
Remember there are so many free things to do at the ex and that is part of the traditon. The shows at the band shell will be amazing. My first concert was at the ex and well so was my daughter's last year. In the kids area there are great arts and crafts, the shows, a play area, and even an area for the wee ones. For the foodies there are some great chefs coming like Micheal Smith.
Now one of my favorite traditions is tomorrow when my large family will all be at the ex with our families. Warriors Day has always been a family tradition. My grandfathers were both in World War 2, and after they came home this parade was family routine, one we still carry on over 60 years later. The parade starts early at 10:30 and the best place to watch it is just west of the princes gate. I love going early, and getting a great spot.
Do you go to the Canadian National Ex? It so what are some of your traditions? What do you look forward to?

This is, as the title suggests, my five quotes for this week. I have been meaning to post this for, I don't know, three days or so, but have been busy with Geometry and enjoying my summer. Isn't enjoyment so time-consuming? 🙂
As a theme for this week, I am going to post the five best fortune cookie fortunes I know. It surely sounds weird, but the quotes are good. And we had Chinese food for lunch the other day, so I have some fresh ones 🙂
Here are the five best fortunes:
1. "Playing safe is only playing."
2. "Before you ask yourself 'Am I doing things right?', ask yourself, 'Am I doing the right things?'."
3. "Warning: do not eat your fortune." (this was my sister's the other day)
4. "To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target."
5. "The beginning of all understanding is innocent."
I hope you have a great week!

Bob Mould will perform 1992's Copper Blue, from his post-Husker Du band Sugar, as part of the 20th annual Noise Pop Festival in San Francisco. The Flaming Lips will also present their 1999 release The Soft Bulletin.
This is the first time Mould has reimagined the album on stage, and comes 20 years after Sugar's debut was named album of the year by NME. Organizers say the Noise Pop Festival, to be held February 21-26 across the city, will also include appearances by Built to Spill and the recently reunited Archers of Loaf, among others.
Here's a look back at our recent thoughts on Bob Mould, Sugar and Husker Du. Click through the titles for complete reviews …
HUSKER DU – EVERYTHING FALLS APART (1982): Start here, with a release that was a little more cohesive than the live debut. They chew UP Donovan's "Sunshine Superman." Eleven years later, "Everything Falls Apart" was released again on CD (and this is funny) with some extras as "Everything Falls Apart … and More." More than — everything? Cool. (P.S.: Included was a new basement tape called "Do You Remember?," the translation of "husker du" in Norwegian.) Only after properly absorbing that, should you move on to the more mainstream "Zen Arcade," a triple-album smart bomb from '84 that led directly to post-hardcore. You need to hear them grinding before you hear them easing off. Still, it is here that we stumble upon the beginnings of that so-called "alternative rock" movement.
SUGAR – COPPER BLUE (1992): If you were thinking your copy of "Zen Arcade" could use a rest, the news was good: Sugar's '92 debut "Copper Blue" contained a flinty mix of acoustic hard-core, backward tape loops and, of course, the crash-and-ebb guitar musings of Mould. In fact, to my ear, "Zen" — moreso than, say, Husker's initial 1981 trash-rock classic "Land Speed Record," which was pure, angry adrenaline — was the template for this release. Mould is back in the trio setting here — Sugar also included former Mercyland bassist David Barbe and former Zulu member Malcolm Travis on drums — and better for it. Still, from a punk-lover's standpoint, he hasn't gotten away from those familiar ringing guitars — and that's ringing of the eardrum sort. Taken in total, there's a refreshing first-take brilliance to all of Mould's stuff that powerfully recalls the jazz innovations of an earlier time. It's music from the heart, and for the heart. And I don't mean that in a soft way.
ONE TRACK MIND: SUGAR, "BELIEVE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING" (1994): Mould's most heartfelt work, something obviously inspired by real loss — and it manages to get across that kind of stunned disbelief you feel when someone you love decides, seemingly out of the blue, that they no longer care to keep you in their life. Mould's voice is double and triple tracked (maybe more?) to get some deep, lush harmonies. Later, a version that's stripped down to just Bob-and-guitars was first issued as a b-side then part of 1995's farewell b-sides/outtakes disc, Besides. I'm hard pressed to decide which is better — and I'm glad I never have the make the choice.
BOB MOULD – BODY OF SONG (2005): As a follow-up to the more electronic, experimental, but ultimately disappointing Modulate, this was an overwhelming success. As a new addition to his strong catalog (including Husker Du, Sugar, and his other solo material), it will probably depend on what era of Mould you like. Those looking for a Sugar fix were likely a little disappointed: Very little of this album contained the pop buzz Sugar was so good at. At the same time, those looking for follow-ups to his first two, more stripped-down solo albums needed some time to adjust, too — less so than the Sugar-enthusiasts, however. What you got was an album of guitar rock with a techno edge — nothing new in the music world, but Mould's particular spin on this style was something new and interesting.

Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Mt 14:13-21 (Is 55:1-3 / Ps 145 / Rom 8:35, 37-39)
It is not good to preach with an empty stomach. But it is worse to preach to an empty stomach. The intensity and sincerity of our desire to provide for the spiritual nourishment of others should never make us insensitive and neglectful of their material hunger. Never is evangelization an alibi for starvation. Rather, real nutrition is in evangelization. When we evangelize others, we need to feed both their bodies and their souls. In the Gospel today, Jesus emphasizes this guiding principle: after feeding the people with the Word of God, He serves them food from the five loves and two fish of His disciples.
Our Gospel today is entitled "The Miraculous Feeding of the Five Thousand". But the miracle in this episode is not the work of Jesus alone. Both Jesus and His disciples miraculously feed the multitude. The miracle begins when the disciples refuse to hide what they can otherwise selfishly keep for their own consumption. The miracle happens when they open their hearts to welcome in the hungry crowd even as they open their basket to feed them. And when Jesus blesses the five loaves and two fish, He blesses their hearts that show compassion and made their love multiply the little they first thought they have.
We, too, can do miracles. Miracles begin with an act of love. Miracles are deeds of love. Miracles happen when the love for the self becomes the self that loves. We make miracles when we truly love. The greater our love is the greater the miracle is. The more loving we are the more we become miracles ourselves.
It is love that can simultaneously feed the body and the soul. On the one hand, despite sincere efforts to nourish the soul of countless people still they starve because the love preached perhaps begs for more and better concrete acts of charity. On the other hand, despite feeding programs here and there still many are hungry because the attention to the care of their souls is probably not enough. It is not feeding that satisfies the hungers of people. It is love! When we love the rest follows: the Word of God is preached, hearts are blest, baskets are opened, compassion works, food is multiplied, miracles happen, and all is satisfied.
Evangelizing means loving like Jesus. Feeding the hungry is loving like Jesus. Miracles happen when we really love like Jesus.
When we look around us, we see how starvation has come close to home. The miserable sight of children enduring the night with empty stomachs should disturb us and make us rise from our dining tables to feed them. The distressing documentaries on television that carry the stories of the increasing number of our countrymen scavenging from our leftovers in restaurants for their daily meal should question us all who call our selves "a Christian nation in the Far East". The hungry face before us is the face of God. If only we recognize Him we would readily and generously feed Him. It is love that makes us see Jesus in the distressing disguise of the poor. For, Victor Hugo said, "To love another person is to see the face of God."
In the Gospel today, Jesus challenges us even as He confronts His disciples with the truth that they seem to be hiding from Him: "There is no need for them to go away; give them some food yourselves." Open baskets only follow open hearts. Unless hearts are open, baskets will remain close (even locked). "But all we have," the disciples confess their hording, "are five loaves and two fish". Aha, so they have something! But they worry that sharing may end up with them having nothing of the little they have. "Bring them here to me," Jesus tells not only them but you and I as well.
In life, let us not count what we do not have but what we have. Let us not declare that we have none when we actually have little, for little is not none. Please let us not say that we do not have when, in truth, we do have but we want to keep it from the needy. Disciples of Jesus that we are, let us bring to Him whatever we have - great or small, plenty or little. Let Him bless them and use them to make miracles real in the world.
It is not good to preach with an empty stomach. But it is worse to preach to an empty stomach. After all, Jesus often likens the Kingdom of God into a wedding banquet where all is not only invited but is lavishly fed as well.
A poor and old woman lives next to a rich and old man. Poor though she is, the woman has great faith. She prays everyday and, probably because she is hard of hearing, she prays rather loudly. But her rich neighbor is a man of no faith at all. Understandably, he does not pray. He only has tricks for his poor neighbor.
One day, having no food, the poor old woman prays, asking God for even just a piece of bread. The rich and old man, overhearing the prayer, decides to make fun of the poor and old woman's faith in God's providence. He takes a loaf of bread, places it at her front door, rings the bell, and hurries back to his apartment. When the woman opens her door, she is overjoyed to find the loaf of bread.
"Praise the Lord!," she cries out. "Thank You, Jesus, for answering my prayer."
"You fool!" grins the faithless man at her. "It was not your God who gave you that bread. It was I."
"Oh," replied the woman, "You then are God's answer to my prayer!"
Be a miracle. Be God's answer to someone's prayer.

It hit me the other day to some degree and an even greater one today how I literally do not take a Sabbath. Now, don't get me wrong, I want to. Oh, how I wish I could take a day just to rest and regain my composure from the rest of the week. However, I find myself in a predicament that I am sure many others do as well and I am not quite sure how to handle it.
We know that a Sabbath is necessary to avoid burnout and in fact, it is commanded by God in Exodus. Now, I am more open-minded in my thinking because I recognize that the Sabbath could be a different day of the week for you or my pastor or a doctor instead of requiring that it be on Sunday. I am not one to beat myself up over some things like this, but it still my question is still a question that begs to be answered. Is it possible for bi-vocational church pastors and/or leaders to truly have a Sabbath?
I say this because, like most other people, my life is very busy. Between my secular job in the corporate world, being a full-time husband, trying to keep up the work in and around the house, as well as other things that are on my schedule, I have very little free time. I do not have one day that I can take off from work the week after I preach at church just to recharge my batteries. Instead, we have Sunday morning service, our Bible study that afternoon, and then on Monday morning I am expected to report back to the office for work. We all know that lives are busy through the week with trying to keep up with the chores among the daily grind, so that rules out an extra five days for someone who is employed elsewhere. Saturdays are a busy day for me and most to mow, do laundry, run errands, all those important things that you cannot get done during the week. Then, on Sunday, we're right back in church.
Now, this is not to say that I do not enjoy doing what I do for the church because I really do. If I didn't enjoy it and feel called to it, I wouldn't do it. It does however, leave open the Sabbath becoming a way of the past. As sad and potentially sinful that is, it may very well be the truth. So, how do you prevent running on fumes the entire week?
For me, I try to take Monday evenings after the rush of Sunday and the work day are over to just relax. This doesn't give me the full day that I would like, but it allows me to have some time just to gather my thoughts and prepare again. It's not perfect and far from ideal, but it helps me cope. I also prefer to use Sunday evenings for the same purpose if everything pans out that way. I am afraid that the Sabbath is going the way of the dodo in general as people are just as busy on the weekends as they are during the week.
Is it possible to not feel like you are forsaking the Sabbath?

It was Winter Challenge day at Rosehill on Saturday and we saw some nice types step out, as was the case at Morphettville for Lightning Day. Here are the Blackbookers.
Parkers Piece – Pulled up lame, so it's a case of completely forgiving. Trials leading in were good, so don't drop off.
Clear The Beach – Mighty win really, considering the hot tempo and the pressure he copped. Had no right to win but he clung on.
Insensata – Huge in defeat despite finishing second last. Leader ran home home in a tick over 34. Had to be Group l quality to come from the back and win. Her effort was very good.
Prada Miss – Not sure she's a Saturday class horse, but she's a good one. Wide, with no cover yet still dashed to the front and was soft on the line. Keen to see where she goes.
Appoint Percy – Had an abrasion, which may explain his weak finish, because on the turn, it looked like there would be no beating him. He was bolting, just couldn't finish off.
Liapari – Was hard to make ground, and 1600 metres back to 1500 metres probably didn't suit. Think he is looking for further now so I wouldn't sack. Honourable mention to Berry Delicious who did make ground.
More To Gain – Wet track and up in trip this time in, he will be winning races. Outstanding return.
Star Of Monsoon – You are not a city horse – Cairns Cup Carnival isn't far away. A maiden there looks ideal.
Magical Stance – Wide no cover again, but he doesn't help himself with his racing manners. He's too keen and just can't finish off.
Zourkhan – Not buying the excuse of the firm track, because he had been racing on firmer at Flemington and winning. He can win without me.
Zara Bay – Yep, she can go in again. She was awful, again.
Violent Snow – There is only so many honourable runs you can have. She's had her last one for me. No more.
Bold Zamour – He's flying the old boy. Grand Nationals in SA aren't far away. He would be very hard to beat in either the hurdle or steeple. Going very well.
Shakopee – Was going to put him down below, but he pulled up lame, so he has an excuse for the poor showing.
Illumicon/La La Luchie – Very good debuts. Illumicon just got lost early on in the straight but once balanced up, he really attacked the line. La La Luchie is going to be an Oaks filly I think for next year. She will love more ground with time and maturity.
Supreme Polarity – Tough watch if you backed this resumer. Clearly wins with a clear run in the straight. Just no luck at a vital stage when building momentum. Lovely return.
Manuel – I want to be forgiving. That track was very shifty and choppy, and he is the sort of horse that doesn't really excel on that sort of going. Wait until he gets on top of the ground.
Affray – Could not have had a better run in front by Holder. Given every chance on speed and should have kicked on better. Very disappointing run.
Ducimus – Looked wound up to run well fresh, but you'd have to say disappointing when you consider he was hard in the market and Tommy came over for the ride. Wraps were huge, but a very flat run.


text: I am here in our playroom with Sophie sitting next to me watching Scooby Doo while Jackson is out in our family room doing his therapy with John. I am feeling super tired today. I'm not sure if my body is still recovering from my run this weekend or what, but I'm drained. Sophie is her normal, energetic self, so thankfully, Misha is taking her to go see The Lorax this evening. I'll get some low key Jackson time with hot tub and movie at home on our agenda. I'll post tomorrow when I have more energy.

VAL THORENS, FRANCE—Canada's Marielle Thompson can rest easy knowing that she has locked up a spot for the Sochi Olympics.
Teammates Kelsey Serwa, Dave Duncan and Brady Leman are virtual locks to join her. As for the rest of the Canadians on the deep national ski cross team, they have a long, anxious weekend of waiting ahead.
The Olympic qualification window for ski cross closes Sunday, and the 26-member Canadian freestyle team will be announced Monday.
Ski cross is one of five disciplines that fall under the freestyle umbrella, so inclusion could be tough. There are several World Cup events this weekend, so it remains unclear who will make the cut.
"I'm sure a lot of (the athletes) will have empty stomachs depending on where they sit on that bubble," Canada ski cross director Dave Ellis said on a conference call. "Depending who's in the rankings behind them and how they perform, that's going to make a difference for sure."
Thompson, from Whistler, B.C., won Friday at Val Thorens to extend her lead atop the women's overall standings.
"I didn't really feel anyone too close to me today," she said.
Duncan, from London, Ont., moved back on top of the men's standings with a bronze medal. Leman, from Calgary, took fourth place and Montreal's Chris Del Bosco, a winner on Thursday, was fifth Friday.
"The competition from within the team is what drives the success, so it's fun," said head coach Eric Archer.
Del Bosco, fourth at the 2010 Olympics, won gold in the first of back-to-back races a day earlier. The race was cut short by high winds so results were based on qualifying and the heat. Del Bosco had not cracked the top 10 until this week, so it remains to be seen whether he has done enough to make the cut for Sochi.
"I did pretty much everything I could this weekend to give myself a shot," Del Bosco said. "At the end of the day that's all I can really do."

"The very first thing I tell my students on the first day of a workshop is that good writing is about telling the truth."
Anne Lamott in Bird by Bird
The truth. It's clear we want the truth, even in fiction. We can spot a lie within a fiction story instantly. That character would never do that! And then we get angry. Have you ever watched your favorite TV series and then someone does something completely out of character and it makes you so angry you quit watching? Ahhhh…for the love of ratings!
Great art is about presenting the truth. It has to come honestly from the heart, not from the desire to shock or manipulate emotions or increase your follower count.
Lamott emphasizes throughout her book the importance of allowing the characters to come to you and to reveal themselves to you. She cautions against…

A BFP Forum: What's Happening In South Sudan
See more photos HERE.
See the program on YouTube
June 7, 2017
A forum, "What's Happening in South Sudan,," was held in the Brooklyn's Friends Meeting House on Schermerhorn Street. The speakers examined the background of the ongoing conflict there which has created untold suffering, tens of thousands of deaths and over a million displaced people who have been forced out of their homes. The forum was sponsored by Brooklyn For Peace and co-sponsored by the United African Congress and the Give Them a Hand Foundation.
Violence is escalating in South Sudan, and famine has been declared in parts of South Sudan. As of 2016 estimates of victims of the war in South Sudan had already exceeded 100,000 and thousands more have been killed since that time. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) most recently reported 1,559,815 refugees since December 2013.
What underlies the conflict? And what is the role of the U.S. and the U.N? Speakers pointed out that the U.S. is the primary financial supporter of the government in South Sudan.
Dr. Charlotte Phillips, Chair of Brooklyn For Peace, opened the meeting. Then. Dr. Mohammed Nurhussein, Chair of the United African Congress and a Board member of Brooklyn For Peace introduced the speakers and moderated the evening's discussion.
The evening's first speaker was Milton Allimadi, Ugandan-born, Publisher of The Black Star News, human rights activist and Adjunct Professor at John Jay College. Allimadi gave a brief overview of the history of South Sudan which became independent from Sudan in 2011. However since that time conflict has broken out between the President Salva Kiir and the Vice-President Riek Machar. Mr. Allimadi places a large part of the responsibility on Gen. Museveni, current dictator of neighboring Uganda, who seeks regional hegemony and has sent forces and military aid in support of Salva Kiir. Uganda, he noted, is a major ally of the United States and often does its bidding in regional conflicts. Military aid to Uganda, funded by U.S. tax dollars, has been used against the civilians in South Sudan.
Mr. Allimadi has started a petition addressed to Antonio Guterres, Secretary General of the U.N., asking that he not politicize the suffering of South Sudanese refugees by allowing Museveni to host a conference about the refugees without addressing his role in creating the refugee crisis. Signatures are requested. The petition is available HERE.
The second speaker was Dr. Bereket H. Selassie, the William E. Leuchtenburg Distinguished Professor of African Studies, and Professor of Law, UNC-Chapel Hill. Having played a role in writing the constitution of Eritrea when it became independent, he is also a participant in writing the constitution of South Sudan. He emphasized the importance of including women as well as all ethnic groups in the political process.
A question and answer session followed the presentation by the speakers.

The previous post discussed the potential for blackbox kleptographic implementations of ECDSA to leak private-keys by manipulating random nonces. What about other cryptographic algorithms? Would offline Bitcoin wallets be less susceptible to similar attacks if Satoshi had made different design choices?
As a natural alternative we can look at RSA, the first widely deployed public-key cryptosystem. RSA signatures also involve applying a padding scheme to the raw message hash before feeding it into the trapdoor. Some of these schemes are probabilistic, meaning there is some arbitrariness in the way that the original input is extended from size of the hash function (say 32 bytes for SHA256) to the full size of RSA modulus (2048 bits or higher by contemporary standards) Such freedom in choosing those additional bits create the same problem as ECDSA. But RSA can also be used in conjunction with deterministic padding. One message, exactly one valid signature. While that eliminates a very specific threat involving covert channels from blackbox implementations, it raises other questions. How would RSA stack-up against ECDSA along other aspects- security, performance, efficiency?
Theoretical security: a paucity of provable results
At a very fundamental level, there is no clear winner. Reflecting our general state of ignorance about the complexity of core cryptographic primitives, neither cryptosystem has a formal proof of security. It is widely believed that the difficulty of RSA rests on factoring while that of ECDSA/ECDH rests on the discrete logarithm problem. But even those seemingly obvious facts have eluded proof as of this writing, if we define "proof" to mean a specific type of reduction: showing that an effective attack capable of breaking RSA (ECDSA, respectively) leads to an equally effectively algorithm for factoring (computing discrete logs.) It's clear that efficient factoring would break RSA and efficient algorithms for computing discrete logs would break elliptic-curve cryptosystems. But it is the converse that matters. Proving or refuting that conjecture remains an open problem: whether there exists a way to decrypt messages or forge signatures without solving either of those problems. In fairness, few cryptosystems have been formally reduced to an existing problem. Rabin cryptosystem is provably equivalent to factoring. A few others rarely used in practice such as McEliece are based on an NP-complete underlying problem, but that does not imply that attacking a random instance is NP-hard.
Both elliptic-curve and RSA signatures vary in security level based on parameters, and there are various guidelines for relating the difficulty of breaking one to another. RSA is simpler because there are relatively few knobs and parameters to tweak when generating keys. Key-size is the main variable, with 2048-bits being the consensus recommendation today. In the past there have been varying opinions about choosing primes of special structure, on the grounds that most efficient factoring algorithms known at the time fared better when order of the group was "smooth" eg P-1 and Q-1 have many small divisors. But the most efficient algorithm known today, the number-field sieve, does not rely on such special structure and operates equally fast (or equally slowly, depending on your perspective) against all RSA moduli. Public exponent is generally chosen to be a small number to allow quick public-key operations, and attempts to optimize performance based on choosing special private-key exponents faces security problems. That leaves modulus-size as the main tunable parameter for determining security of the RSA cryptosystem.
For elliptic curves, the story is more complicated. For starters there are many subtypes of curves: they can be over prime fields or binary fields. Their parameters can be generated according to different criteria. Unlike choosing primes, picking a curve is both tricky and complex. So much that end-users do not generate their own curve, instead pick from a menu of options that are supported by their software. ("openssl ecparam -list_curves" for a glimpse at the options on your system.) This is where competition for curves starts to look like a market for used-cars, with each group pushing the virtues of their own curve. With many options come the possibility of some spectacularly bad ones. Some have been inadvertent, with advances in the field revealing that certain classes of curves were weaker than expected. Others may even be deliberate, clouded by allegations that curve parameters have been "cooked" by a conspiracy— with NSA usually playing the role of the supervillain in these stories— to have a very specific weakness exploitable by the powers-that-be.
Further aggravating matters, Bitcoin lacks cryptographic agility— it has committed to a single curve with no opportunity to increase hardness along this dimension short of a hard-fork. In any case, there is no linear scale as with RSA, where modulus size could be increased gradually one machine word at a time. Bumping up security requires a discontinuity, switching to a different curve with different parameters.
Implementation matters
Cryptographic algorithms also fail because incidental weaknesses in an implementation implementing that has nothing to do with the underlying mathematics. How does each choice fare along this dimension? As noted earlier, ECDSA is critically dependent on a source of randomness for each signature operation- and not just during key generation. Even a partial failure of the RNG during signing is fatal. RSA does not have this problem, particularly when used in conjunction with a deterministic padding mode.
Both algorithms are subject to side-channel attacks: in a naive implementation, the sequence of steps taken during the computation has direct relationship to private-key bits. For example the code may take one code path versus another depending on whether a key-bit is 0 or 1, and these different code-paths could have very different profiles in terms of time required for completion, memory references or even aggregate power consumption. Hardened implementations try to obscure these differences against external observation. For elliptic curves it can be more difficult to do this. To take one example, in RSA a source of side-channel leaks is that squaring operation is often distinguishable from side-multiply because it can be implemented faster, for example using the recursive Karatsuba technique or simply noting that only half as many multiplications are required because the same pair of operands appears twice. But this optimization is optional: an implementation can choose to forgo faster squaring and fall back to doing it the hard way.** For elliptic curves, there is no such option. The basic group operation, point addition, is inherently different when adding a point to itself as opposed to adding two different points. That difference can't be swept aside by falling back to a less efficient version of addition. More subtle techniques such as the Montgomery ladder are required to avoid key-dependent behavior.
At some level there is an irony to worrying about the performance of Bitcoin—an extremely inefficient system predicated on wasting massive amounts of CPU cycles, and consequently energy, to operate without any centralized trust. But suspending disbelief and assuming that speed matters, RSA appears to have a surprising advantage for transaction signing. Surprising, because in general speed is touted as one of the advantages for elliptic-curve cryptography. That part still holds true, and one can get ballpark estimates from (highly outdated) Crypo++ benchmarks or running openssl speed tests locally:
sign verify sign/s verify/s 256 bit ecdsa (nistp256) 0.0000s 0.0001s 26840.5 11228.1
sign verify sign/s verify/s rsa 2048 bits 0.000554s 0.000025s 1805.1 39505.7
That's an order of magnitude difference. The problem for ECDSA is that both signing and verification are relatively expensive. RSA on the other hand has a very asymmetric performance profile: private-key operations (decryption and signing) are 20x slower than public-key operations (encryption and verification, respectively.) Bitcoin transactions are signed once by the originator but verified thousands if not millions of times by full-nodes validating the ledger. In that usage mode, RSA gets the nod for lowering total cost across the network over the lifetime of the transaction.
Looking at key-generation on the other hand, ECDSA gains a slight edge. RSA keys have mathematical structure as the product of two large primes; not any old number will do. Key generation involves a relatively costly search for primes by testing candidates repeatedly until primes are discovered. For ECDSA any positive integer less than the order of the generator is a valid private-key. Randomly choosing a value in this range is sufficient and very quick; so much that bulk of the time in ECDSA key-generation is spent computing the public-key. That property also makes it easier to implement deterministic key-derivation schemes such as BIP32, where multiple keys are derived from a single root secret. Because any old integer in a particular range is a valid private key, it is easy to map outputs from key-derivation functions to ECDSA private keys in one-to-one manner. While RSA key generation can be made deterministic based on the starting point for prime search, it does not have a similar uniqueness guarantee.
A different measure of efficiency is space: how many bytes are consumed by the signature. Shorter is better and arguably this is more important than speed for Bitcoin. Signature size is a major determinant of transaction size. Given that each block is capped and current 1MB limit is already becoming a limitation, any increase in TX size further constrains how many transactions can be mined per generation. On that dimension ECDSA looks a lot better. The size of an ECDSA signature is twice that of the underlying curve. For secp256k1 that comes out to 64 bytes. (Somewhat puzzling is that Bitcoin sticks with traditional ASN1 encoding of signature, which introduces up to 7 bytes or 10% of additional overhead compared to plain layout.) At first glance, even that inefficient encoding looks like major savings compared to the alternative of using 2048-bit RSA signatures, which represents a whopping 300% increase.
Surprisingly some of the overhead for RSA can be optimized away by merging it into the signature. RSA supports message recovery, where part or entirety of the message is squeezed into the signature block itself. For example with 2048b modulus and SHA256 as the underlying hash function, over 220 bytes of plaintext message can be safely recovered using PSS-R padding. Surprisingly the net overhead than could be lower than ECDSA depending on amount of data merged into the signature. Using a data-point from December 2014 that average Bitcoin transaction size is ~250 bytes, we can estimate ~190 bytes of preimage without the ECDSA signature. That is less than the maximum recoverable message which means that the entire TX would become a single RSA signature, without any appreciable bump in space used.
Unfortunately one detail in Bitcoin signing greatly limits the applicability of message recovery optimizations: every input into a transaction must be signed individually. This holds true even if the inputs are using the same address and in theory a single signature could prove control over all of them. For transactions containing multiple inputs, the hypothetical RSA signature overhead would apply for each input. That means one may run out of "message" to squeeze into the signature, unless we complicate matters further by starting to squeeze signatures into each other. In that case part of the "message" recovered from an RSA signature could be a chunk of a different RSA signature. Such cascades break one of the assumptions about TX construction: inputs can be added independently of each other. (There is a even a signature type that allows anyone to add inputs.) If input signatures incorporate fragments of other inputs, parsing becomes tricky.
One last point on space efficiency of existing Bitcoin signatures: ECDSA is far from being state of the art in optimizing signature size. It has been known for some time that pairing-based schemes enable shorter signatures. For example the Boneh–Lynn–Shacham scheme from 2001 provides a security level comparable to 1024-bit RSA using as few as 20 bytes. But pairing based cryptography remains relatively esoteric with limited implementation support and a potential minefield of intellectual property claims, making it an unlikely candidate for Bitcoin.
Verdict on ECDSA for Bitcoin
In retrospect then ECDSA looks like a reasonable middle-ground for the requirements Satoshi faced. It produces relatively compact signatures compared to RSA without requiring elaborate message-recovery tricks, allows rapid key-generation to promote better privacy for funds and has plenty of implementation support. (Modulo the choice of secp256k1; most of the initial focus on elliptic-curve support has been in response to NIST Suite-B curves. secp256k1 is not among them. For example Windows native cryptography API still does not support it.) On the downside, it has a suboptimal distribution of load between signing/verification, inflating the global cost of verifying blocks.
** To be clear, this only removes the timing leak. Other side-channels exist to still permit distinguishing squaring from multiplication by a different operand. A side-multiply will typically reference different memory regions than multiplying a number by itself. Observations exploiting local channels such as CPU caches as can still infer such key-dependent memory references.

Rafael (Ted) Edward Cruz Officially Running For President. Pastor Hagee Predicts The End Of The World.
. Coincidence?
Ted Cruz Officially Starts Up The 2016 GOP Clown Car!
>snip< "He's in, creepy smile and all." >snip< "Here's what we can expect for the foreseeable future. Fox News will take him very, very seriously, defending his Canadian birth as no big deal while forgetting that Barack Obama's Hawaiian birth was also no big deal. CNN will hang on every word he says, while Chuck Todd takes him very, very seriously, because "official candidate." Andrea Mitchell will explain carefully why Cruz suddenly has credibility in the foreign policy area, because as the only Republican candidate declared for 2016, we all need to hear what he has to say. In other words, brace yourself for the 2016 Clown Car, where the candidates aren't as bad as the reporters covering them. Except, perhaps in Ted Cruz' case."
Meanwhile, back at the Crazy Ranch.
Pastor Hagee: 'Blood Moon' Eclipse On Tuesday Means End Of The World By 2015
Granted , he made the prediction in 2014 but coincidence…?
Or soothsayer?
"Pastor John Hagee is warning members of his megachurch to prepare for the end of the world because a "blood moon" eclipse on Tuesday is signaling that the End Times could be beginning." >snip< "Is this the end of the age?" Hagee asked during a recent sermon, before quoting Acts 2:19-20: And I will show wonders in Heaven above and signs in the Earth beneath, the sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord." "I believe that the heavens are God's billboard, that he has been sending signals to planet Earth," he explained. "God is literally screaming at the world, 'I'm coming soon.'" Hagee predicted that the four eclipses were signaling a "world-shaking event that will happen between April 2014 and October 2015." "God sends plant Earth a signal that something big is about to happen! He's controlling the Sun and the moon right now to send our generation a signal, but the question is, are we getting it?"
I wonder if doomsayer preachers have a tin foil hat booth at the front door?
Maybe Rafael should have consulted with Hagee before his announcement or is Rafael part of the Armageddon?
Update: You should also check out TedCruz.com and TedCruzforAmerica.com.
The soothsayer pic is Charlie Callas from the movie 'History Of The World-Part One'. See it if you get a chance, it is a very funny movie.

Like marshmallows we squash into the sea of people on the train from Aluthgama to Colombo, finding space in the cracks that seem impossible to fit a whole human. But the Sri Lankans are experts at this and we gradually learn the tricks of the trade. At each stop we're jostled out of the way when we think it couldn't get any fuller, more people get on, so we are eventually eye to eye, arm to arm, butt to butt with our fellow travellers. We smile grimly then find a place in the corner of the jammed door, sitting on top of my suitacase in relative comfort. Finally we can enjoy the vistas of the sea, shore and village life that roll past the train's open doors.
Madulkelle is a 1.5 hour drive from Kandy but may as well be a million years and miles away. It's the ultimate end of journey reward, after our sweaty train trip. At least from Colombo to Kandy we managed a spot on the air-conditioned Rajadhani Express, which transitions us from hot, stifling Colombo to the lush mountain countryside that surrounds Kandy. Before we reach Madulkelle though we must encounter in the dark a series of hairpin turns. The shrinking villages and cooler air come as a surprise.
The main house and luxury tent at the Madulkelle Tea and Eco Lodge are warm and inviting in the crisp mountain air, but it is only in the morning, after hearing every sound of the night through our flapping tent walls, that we can truly appreciate where we are. In the morning that we discover our tent (well, it is a tent, but has wooden floors and a well equipped bathroom) is perched on a sheer drop atop the looming valley below, all the other tents around us positioned like sugar crystals on the rim of a margarita glass. The valley itself seems endless, a vertiginous journey down, filled with lush green tea fields and their signature leaf shapes pointing up to the sky like graceful ballerina arms.
The fields are criss-crossed by dirt roads that looks breadcrumb trails spreading through villages that look like doll houses from where we are. The hills across look like sleepy hedge hogs, or like resting sea turtles, covered in a furry green blanket. The brightly coloured tea pickers, hard at work, resemble pomegranates in a green salad, while close up, they laugh at us with gap toothed leathery grins for not having umbrellas in the pouring rain, which springs life into an impromptu waterfall right outside our tent window, making us feel like part of the landscape ourselves. We are both on top of the world and at the end of it. There's no pressure to do anything except enjoy the moment, interrupted only by leisurely meals in the main house and an ensuing pool tournament between husband and wife, or if you feel like it, a walk or tuk-tuk ride to nearby waterfalls (beware the leeches – we ended up covered in them!).
After three blissful days, our tuk-tuk ride down the mountain reveals what we missed on the way up. As we wind down the mountain as we are on a fairground ride, the view is heart breakingly, brain imprintingly stunning, nothing even a postcard could capture. We stop to take pictures of a local Independence Day mountain cricket game.
All too quickly the air heats up again and the vegetation changes, traffic speeds up, more people emerge, litter begins to reappear, and all of a sudden we are back in Kandy, back in civilisation, a million miles away again from our sleeping hedgehog mountains, our window side waterfall and ballerina tea leaves.

Semi-trucks, tractor-trailers and other massive commercial vehicles all have one thing in common - their sheer size means that any accident they cause can be devastating. These behemoths of the road, often weighing in excess of 50,000 pounds, can change your life in the blink of an eye. When you or a loved one has been injured in a truck wreck, The Gold Law Firm is here for you. We work closely with you at all stages of your claim, so that you always know where to turn for a trusted adviser and strong courtroom advocate.
Our Shelby County Truck Wreck Attorneys Will Advocate For You
There are many reasons that truck wrecks occur. These include:
- Driver fatigue
- Trucks' giant blind spots hiding other vehicles
- Speeding
- Drivers talking on cellphones while driving
- Trucking companies imposing unrealistic schedules on their drivers
Unfortunately, it is unlikely that the insurance company will grant you much sympathy, regardless of what caused the accident. In fact, what is more certain is that you will be faced with a dollar amount and a short window of time in which you must settle after your accident. Oftentimes, the insurance company is shortchanging you, and it is essential to your healing process that you obtain the compensation you deserve. You need a legal advocate who will aggressively fight for you.
Our Approach
At The Gold Law Firm, our Tennessee lawyers draw on their experience and determination as they listen closely to our clients. After gathering the details surrounding your accident, we begin to set realistic expectations and offer straightforward legal representation. We understand that you seek compensation quickly and efficiently.
The Gold Law Firm is not a personal injury claim mill. You will not be passed around between several lawyers and paralegals. All calls are returned within 24 hours and from that first conversation, we are dedicated to growing personal relationships with each of our clients. It is this compassionate and tenacious approach that helps us obtain favorable outcomes for our clients.
Contact The Gold Law Firm For A Free Initial Consultation
Our office is open from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on weekdays. Our Memphis truck accident attorneys offer evening and weekend appointments and hospital and home visits. Our initial consultation is free, and we do not get paid until you get paid. Call 901-303-8619 or 800-610-9622 to schedule your consultation or email us for more information.

My first find in my quest was this article: Rails Logging Tips. It provided foundational knowledge of logging options as well some advanced logging pointers. I learned that the Rails log levels available to me are: debug, info, warn, error, and fatal. I also learned that Rails defaults to the "info" level when in the Production Environment. The section on Reducing Log File Size drew my attention. I decided to edit my config/environments/production.rb file to config.log_level = :warn. At first it looks like its going to do the trick, the log will only have warnings and errors in it from here out! But when I purposefully generate an application error I notice that the information logged about it is really not all that helpful. It does give me a backtrace. But I want to know what user actions caused the error so I can duplicate it (maybe this is possible with backtraces and I don't know it yet). The information I want is a timestamp and the url or request that was made resulting in the error. This information was available in the :info log level.
Next order of business, trying out all of the log levels to see if a different one will suit me better. Note: When changing log levels in your production.rb file you have to restart you application for the change to take effect. I couldn't remember how to restart my application. Our server is running Passenger. This wiki article: Restarting a Rails Application Using Passenger gave me the magic command I was looking for (touch /tmp/restart.txt).
Wow! :debug gives some pretty handy info. Including SQL statements. After poking around a bit more I decide none of the log levels do what I want. I'd like to get the information displayed in the :debug or :info log levels but only when the message is :warn or higher. I remember that the Rails Logging Tips article mentioned something about filtering log messages. Maybe I could set the log level to :info and apply some sort of filter. My Google searches on this don't turn up any promising leads. But I do happen upon a few blog posts about adding timestamps to the Rails logger. There are two different ways to do it. One way is to extend the logger class the other way is to initiate your own logger class. Apparently Rails changed up the logger in version 2.x.
How to modify the logger class in Rails 1.2.x:
How to modify the logger class in in Rails 2.x:
How to create your own custom logger in Rails 2.x
I add the lines of code to the end of my environment.rb file and voila I have timestamps. :)
I am not quite ready to jump into creating a custom logger. I am still interested in possibly filtering the :info log messages. Maybe I could get it to disregard logs for requests that return an status 200 ok.
Two more parting nuggets I dug up while researching this. How to rotate your rails logs and how to log to STDOUT when using the console.

Lil Texas & VenessaMichaels Can't Do It Without You
Huge breaks and jersey club track coming out of a team up from Lil Texas and VenessaMichales. This song is just fun and is sure to get some booties moving out in the club.
"I've been a fan of Lil Texas for a while, (not just because he has mad meme game) but he's also one of my favorite producers when it comes to innovative beats. He sent me this session and we worked separately for a minute, and then we realized we live 1 mile away from each other. This track shows a new side to both of us. He was talking about coming back with his old sound and I've been talking about dropping tracks with a new sound. So instead of me trying to describe the sound, check out what we are excited bring you with a track that was super fun to make for both of us."

It's unfortunate and saddening that it takes a tragedy like Eight Belle's for the horse racing community to make some reforms, but at least it's finally happening.
For starters, Kentucky Derby winner, Big Brown, was wearing glued-on poly-flex horseshoes, making him the first horse to win the derby without shoes nailed to his feet. Though more expensive than traditional metal shoes, the glued-on shoes are better for the horse's foot, allowing his hooves to flex. Joe Camp, best known as the author of Benji, is a big fan of the shoes and raves about them in an interview here. The shoes have been available for 10 years but are just now getting more exposure.
Alternative horseshoe awareness isn't the only good thing to come out of the derby tragedy. After Eight Belle's accident, the Jockey Club commissioned a committee to take a second look at horse racing practices and recommend ways to improve the health and safety of the animals. The committee will meet May 14.
