I'll be honest, before I was married, I didn't seek out God's word for "good wife instructions". I know many of you sought to be a "Proverbs 31" wife before you were even married, and that's great. For the rest of us, trying to figure out what God expects from us as a wife can be intimidating.
My goal here is to get you thinking about how you can become a more godly wife by highlighting Scripture of women we don't want to be. God is very clear in his Word, there are certain attitudes and behaviors that are not acceptable to him. The thing we must remember friends, is that each of us can fall under each of these traps at any given time, but when Jesus died for us, he forgave all of our past sins and all the sins we'll commit in the future. Give yourself some grace, but ask for his help.
Starting in Genesis (19:26), we see what happens when as a wife, we don't trust in our husband or in God.
Let's put this verse into context. Angels had come to Lot and ordered he and his family to leave Sodom. The sins of this city were so great, God intended to destroy the city and its inhabitants, but he had mercy on Lot and his family. After hesitation, Lot agreed to leave, but the angels told them, "Run for your lives! And don't look back or stop anywhere in the valley!"
Lot's wife looked back. She disobeyed instructions from God's angels and didn't trust that her husband would care for her during this difficult time. What are some things in your life that you need to let go of and not look back on? If God told you to do something, and was very clear about how and why, would you hesitate? If your husband asked you to trust him during a difficult or trying time, would you question him?
We need to learn to let go and trust our husband. Trust also in the Lord's plan for your life.
This particular Proverb isn't necessarily referring to a wife, but instead the author is referring to "immoral women". But as wives, don't we want to live morally? Well then, first let's look at "the path of life". It's so easy for us to think about the future, what we want, where we want to live, the job we'll have, and so on. We like to dream, and there's nothing wrong with that, but what about the path we take to get there? God tells us that we should care about the path, about the journey. He tells us instead of just focusing on the goal, whatever it may be, we should concern ourselves with the here and now. Today, start living each day for Christ.
When I think of staggering down a crooked trail, I think of two things. First, that we are so self-involved, we cannot see what's happening around us. Maybe that's too deep, it could just mean to quit drinking so much… eh?
Second, when we do this life our way, we often get tripped up or jolted around like the little metal ball in a pinball machine. When we rely on God, and seek out his will for us, that doesn't mean it will be easy, but we'll at least get some direction.
Oh man, that was me. Still is sometimes. It's so hard to let go of our pride and stop being mad, not even mad just being defensive.
You guys know how annoying a leaky faucet is right? People have used drippy faucets to torture other people, that's how annoying the sound is. I don't know about you, but I would never want my husband to think of me as quarrelsome or annoying.
Avoid quarrels by listening and trying to understand. Avoid quarrels by walking away and taking a few minutes to yourself, that's okay. Avoid quarrels by submitting.
Yep, I just threw out the "s" word. Submit. We are called to submit to our husbands. So what if "his way" to the restaurant is longer, if that's the way he wants to go, let him. Biblical submission does not mean waiting on him hand and foot or letting someone abuse you, it simply means to serve well or to honor.
It's no wonder men want a "man cave". That's today's equivalent of living in the corner of the roof. (I'm not saying him having his own space or you having yours is a bad thing.) Can you imagine though, really? When we nag or micromanage our husbands, it would be better for them to escape to their den.
Let's all be honest, if your husband got after you as much as you get after him, wouldn't you want to run and hide as well? I'm certainly not pointing fingers here, I'm guilt of being a "brawling woman" at times.
Some versions translate "wide house" as being pretty. The idea is the same, imagine the most beautiful, well put together home. Go ahead, take a minute. Mine has a wood burning fireplace and hardwood floors, an open kitchen, and big windows facing the mountains. So peaceful. Now, place a brawling woman in there…. someone whose words cut to the bone. Someone who doesn't acknowledge the hard work her husband does. A woman that bosses her husband around or accuses him of being lazy. A woman who only wants things done her way. That house suddenly loses its appeal.
The Bible is clear, a woman who doesn't trust in her husband's judgment and who focuses only on her needs, or a woman who picks fights and uses her words against her husband is not a wife that is honoring God, or her husband. Even if you aren't a Believer in Christ, could you argue with these points?
Father, we pray that you would change our hearts. That you would examine us from the inside out and help us to better understand what it is that you expect from us as wives or wives someday. God, we lift up the men in our lives to you, that you would show us how to best honor them. We ask that you would show us how to focus less on our needs, and more on theirs. Lord, we thank you for the husband you gave us, he is a treasure and it's our hope that we can start becoming a wife that not only honors our husband, but glorifies you. Amen.

Background: Vemurafenib(VF) is highly active against melanomas with a BRAFV600E mutation. Although remarkable clinical responses occur, progression ensues, in part due to innate resistance driven by the tumor micro-environment (TME). 2D co-culture screens have demonstrated that the cMet-HGF axis is an important mediator of TME-associated resistance. However, many aspects of the TME including cell-extracellular matrix (ECM), ligand-receptor interactions and signaling are different in 3D versus 2D cultures, thus potentially limiting the clinical utility of a 2D co-culture screen. We report our initial results of a 3D perfused co-culture model of VF-resistant melanoma as a clinically relevant screen for identifying agents and combinations to revert VF resistance. Methods: Media conditions, 3D hydrogel scaffolds and cell ratios were optimized prior to establishing 3D co-cultures. Stromal components and tumor cells were assessed for adaptation to 3D perfused conditions using the 3DKUBE™ segregated co-culture plasticware. Multi-syringe pumps achieved flow rates of 10ul/min. Analysis consisted of cell viability, dsDNA quantification, confocal imaging and immunoassays (secreted HGF and c-Met). Results: Fibroblast HGF production correlated with increasing cell numbers in 3D perfusion, but not in 2D and there was significantly more HGF produced by fibroblasts in 3D perfusion (2504 v 1639 pg/ml, p<.05). Melanoma spheres maintained cell viability better in Matrigel ™ versus Matrigel:Collagen mix and retained 3D structure in perfused co-culture for 7 days. VF showed increased activity in melanoma spheroids in 3D ECM-free static cultures versus 2D monolayer (IC50 0.016uM v 15.79µM). There was a concentration-dependent response but reduced activity of VF against perfused 3D melanoma spheroids embedded in ECM, whereas there was no effect of VF against perfused melanoma spheroids in co-culture. Conclusion: V600E melanoma cells are extremely sensitive to BRAF targeting in 3D ECM free spheroids as compared with 2D monolayers. Clinical resistance is mimicked by a more complex 3D TME comprising ECM, perfusion and segregated co-culture of HGF-secreting fibroblasts in 3D. Mechanistic studies are ongoing to identify specific factors critical for VF resistance, including HGF/cMet axis interrogation. Future Direction: The ultimate goal is to establish clinically relevant 3D perfused co-culture models to identify novel agents or combinations which will overcome TME-mediated resistance to VF and other targeted agents. Future efforts are focused on incorporation of well characterized primary malignant epithelial cells with defined stromal components in the 3D perfused co-culture model in order to better identify combinations of multitargeted agents in both the preclinical(lead compound selection) and the co-clinical process (patient selection).

"A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving."
― Lao Tzu
But, work awaits in a few more days, so arrive I did, and on time, too.
Groceries have been purchased, the dog's universe has been partially restored to normal, clean-ups have been started, laundry and my NaNo project await. I don't go back to work until Wednesday, so that's better than it sounds. I hope. I've even taken a quick look at my work emails to double-check on an interview and a couple of performance evaluations that I need to do tomorrow. Even though I'm not officially back to work. <sigh>
Although not unconnected, or unaware, I did try to stay as removed as possible for the news while I was away, so I'll work out my opinion and commentary for later in the week when I've had some time to do more thinking. And after I've finished up Camp NaNo.

San Diego State coach Rocky Long spoke with reporters, including The Gazette's Brent Briggeman, during the Mountain West Media Summit on Tuesday in Las Vegas.
You've been the only coach in this league to consistently have Air Force's number, with your team winning six straight games against it. How do you explain that? Have you just seen that offense enough over the years to understand how to stop it, or is just a matchup issue?
I don't know that that's right. That seems like too many. It doesn't matter how many times I've seen that offense because I'm not the guy making tackles and doing all that. I know our team has great respect for that offense. They have great respect for the teams that run that offense, No. 1. And they have great respect for that offense. This is a personal opinion, and obviously I tell them this, but I think that's the best college offense that's ever been designed. You don't have to have big guys. You have to have a little quickness and speed. You don't have to have fast guys, you don't have to have big guys because you don't block anybody. I mean, the quarterback decides on who gets the ball, and they've got nothing but double teams or chip blocks and they cut, so they're knocking people down. Nobody cuts anymore, so the defensive guys don't know how to take on a cut block, so they're all laying on the ground. And then the quarterback decides on who gets the ball and they don't block two guys. Every other offense you've got to block everybody. You block everybody and hopefully your running back can make the free safety miss. In that offense you don't even have to block everybody. And then normally they have really smart kids who make good decisions when they're deciding on who gets the ball. They have really tough kids because of their training – they're very aggressive and tough kids. I truly believe that's the best offense ever designed for college football. I think it if wasn't for public opinion, you'd have 40 or 50 teams in the country run it. But we have to sell tickets. You have to get people in the stands, and people in the stands want to see the ball in the air. OK? All of the sudden you've got the spread. Let's throw it around and let's don't play football anymore, let's play basketball. It's 11 guys, but let's play basketball.
When you look at what Air Force became last year with Arion Worthman at quarterback, I assume you've done plenty of study and preparation for this season.
Uh-huh, I've watched them.
How different was that offense with such a quick quarterback running the show?
Now, (Nate) Romine's back, too, right? Romine's a better thrower. The starting quarterback is a much better runner. He looks fast. I don't know how fast he is, but he looks fast. Romine looks like he runs the offense very, very well, he just doesn't have the kick-in speed. OK? One of them you have to worry about the pass more, the other one you have to get the ball out of his hands and make him hand it to the fullback or pitch the ball; don't let him carry it.
For your program, what advantages are there with the Chargers leaving San Diego?
I don't think there are any advantages. I think there are NFL fans, college football fans and there's high school football fans. Now, there's some crossover football fans, and we're trying to attract the crossover fans – the ones who are liable to go to an NFL game as well as a college game or even a high school game. We're trying to attract that group. The idea that because the NFL has left we're going to get all these fans because they're going to come watch us play instead of the NFL, that's not true. There are so many that are such NFL fans, they're going to watch it on TV. They're going to miss their team, but they're going to watch it on TV. There are a few fans around that really just like football, and hopefully we're going to attract the ones that just like football that they'd rather watch us play and have a nice experience instead of driving three hours up the freeway, bumper to bumper, to go see a pro football team play. Now there are a lot of just true NFL fans. We're not going to attract them. That's just not the way it works.
Having played in an NFL stadium, would you find it preferable to move into something a little more college-sized?
I think it's all determined on what the stadium looks like and how it's built. If it's going to be a 60,000-seat stadium but can easily be reduced to 40,000 with banners or anything like that, it's a positive. The stadium we play in is a 70,000-seat stadium and no matter what you do to it, it's a monstrosity. So we get our 35,000 people in there and it looks like nobody's at the game. But the way they're building the newer stadiums now with all the electronics and everything, they have a legitimate way to close it off. The one I've seen on video on the internet is the one in Atlanta. That is unbelievable. It's going to seat 60,000 people for NFL, but they can get it down to 25,000 or something for Major League Soccer. And they do it with curtains and everything. I mean it's a cool deal. So I say the deal here is all how they build the stadium. If they can do it like that where it will still feel intimate and all that, it will help the program tremendously. If it's going to be this monstrosity where it looks like nobody's there, it's not going to help them. It will help them until it's built, because they'll talk about how they're building a new, state-of-the-art stadium. I don't think it's a real good experience to come to the stadium we play in.
You always have strong opinions about the Group of Five and the Power Five and gap that has grown…
It's getting bigger daily, by the way.
So where do you see this going, and is there anything that can reverse the course?
Yes. Well, first, I don't see it changing with the way it's going. But even though it's much more difficult, I don't think that prevents a Group of Five team from once in a while having a team that's as good as any of them. It won't happen a lot, but it will happen once in a while. When that does happen, not being allowed to show that that team's good enough is a travesty in college football if they're calling us all Division I teams. … Every once in a while there's going to be a non-Power Five team that's good enough to beat those guys. Nobody's going to give them a chance to do it. … If you expand the tournament to eight teams, then all of their champions get in. You give a few spots to other highly rated teams and you give one spot to the non-Power Five guys. Now you've got a legitimate chance for a national championship. It might not be one out of 10 years, but there will be a time when a non-Power Five team is going to be good enough to beat them. And if you have one of those teams, you actually have a chance to win it. … The ones that don't want that are the Power Five guys. They don't want to take a chance at losing to a non-Power Five team. Why would they take that chance? Plus, if they let us in they have to share the money? Why would they let us share the money if they don't have to?

Weaving Tradition: Peru's History and Culture
Explore Peru's history and culture in May 2018. You will experience three distinct geographical regions: the Pacific Coast, the Andean Mountains, and the Amazon River and Rainforest. You will visit important Incan archeological sites, including Machu Picchu, and take classes in cooking, chocolate making, and textiles (plant-based dyeing, weaving, knitting and/or spinning). You will learn from a shaman about plants and animals in the Amazon Rainforest and how they are important to the indigenous groups of the area.
Peru's history is a fabric woven from threads of intermingling cultures, including indigenous, Spanish and other European, and Asian peoples. As we learn from the people of today's Peru; visit archeological sites; study hand-made artifacts; and tour modern cities whose architecture still retains the footprint of those that came before, we will examine how this fabric continues to evolve, expanding to encompass new perspectives and ways of life while maintaining patterns from the past. Topics to be covered include:textile handicrafts
societies, food, religion, nature, art, and architecture.

No,he didn't say that. But my point is he might as well. The man swallowed hook line and sinker all the violence of hip hop,video games and STEROIDS. Nobody could have a sound mind and flush it all away like he did.
When I was a kid they would say all the 60's protests and violence was because of Bugs Bunny cartoons. The young who grew up on that were desensitized. If Bugs could do that..the outright violent media that young men listen to now is Judas Priest and Bugs x 10,000. Add STEROIDS to that and you have the 27 NFL athletes arrested since January. The more I read of steroids the more I read of that rage that even the most intense athletes don't carry on their own endorphins.
Reality Aaron Hernandez will find, is not a steroid fueled dreamworld where you kill at will. What a waste huh? Steroids had a steep price to success.

I'm in the mood to grab some friends and paint some faces! With the matric farewell coming up, I've already got an amazingly gorgeous girl to work on. But I'm gonna need some more to stop this face paint craving. Haha.
Anyway, here are some eye makeup looks to get you inspired for your matric farewell…. Maybe! If you're ballsy enough to go for an OTT look!

Gospel duo Erica and Tina Campbell return to our homes each and every Thursday night in the explosive fifth season of Mary Mary.
With Tina embarking on her solo career after a tumultuous year, it seems as if reuniting for an album is the farthest thing from her mind. So what does this mean for the group who still owes Sony another record? They both talk to the Tom Joyner Morning Show about their alleged money problems, where their relationship stands with husbands Teddy and Warryn and rumors on fans getting a new Mary.
"We love Mary Mary, we love each other, even though we get into it. But we're family. We're also growing as individuals so the Mary Mary fans will just have to wait a little longer," Erica said.
On rumors that one of the Mary's is being replaced?
"You got the label and then you got people with dreams and visions of getting back into the Mary Mary business. Mary Mary is Erica and Tina."
Mary Mary is on We TV at 9p/8p CST.

12 thoughts on "Erica & Tina Campbell Set The Record Straight On Their Money Problems, Rumors Of A New 'Mary'"
No more series of Mary Mary. They have forgotten who they are to serve which is Christ Jesus. No other God befor me. There only concern is money which have become their God.
Am nhlanhla from south Africa the only thing I can tell you people you should try and learn not to judge other people, I believe God will help Mary Mary to overcome all of this
According to Tina, she didn't get no advance.she never wanted the group to break. I understand why it happened,
I think artists use whatever they can to get known then feel they're big enough to break up and do what they really want to do but it's what you started with that most want to see. Not always a good move.
When Jesus said yee without sin cast the first stone I think whether you are a sister on tv or in the streets the meaning is the same.
They have put money ahead of truly Serving God.when your serving him right the money will come.seem like there interested in money first and then God when it's vice versa.there music is better than there tv gig.
If you don't to be judged, keep your business off of tv. Its that simple
No Mary Mary are just human. Born again. Not perfect. Ye without sin cast the first stone. Stop your judgment.
Special, I totally agree. If they didn't have "divatude" before, they have it now. Their attitudes, catty arguments and topping one another makes tyeem look just as bad as these other trash so called reality shows.
They may have had minor problems before doing this stupid show, but this show only magnified them and caused this division. Somebody got the "big head" and their egos got in the way. Nothing about this is Godly. It's all about the money. It's hard serving two masters, money & God, and God says "Thou shalt have no other gods before me." Ex 20:3. Get it together ladies while you still have a chance.
Point blank another album needs to be made or the record company is going to sue them. They signed a contract and took the advance for a certain number of albums. The company wants the album or their advance money back. I think they were always quirky just now everybody can watch it. Album or money. They have two options sing or pay up
All talk about and worry about is there weaves and makeup there like Kirk Franklin they need to stop trying be stars and helping people know the Lord.Mary Mary have become silly.

I enjoyed every minute of this audio book, and am amazed that it is the author's debut novel. She writes wonderfully, with full, rich characters, and a compelling mystery that makes one keep guessing, "Who done it?!". As an artist myself, I especially enjoyed the references to art and painting, and her colorful, and often humorous descriptions of the scenes and characters.
The narrator did a fantastic job, and enriched the story and experience. She was perfect!
I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good mystery with likable, true to life characters, that keeps you guessing until the end. I'll miss those folks, and can't wait to listen to the next book in the series.

Almost two years ago, a pretty unfavourable report was delivered on the internal communications here. At roughly the same time, our CEO was furious at being unable to retrieve his email while on the train: someone had sent a 9MB email to all staff which took so long to download via mobile that the CEO had to give up on getting other, potentially more important messages. The 9MB consisted of personal photos.
Both these issues are typical of the sorts of problems faced by organisations which rely on a combination of paper and email to deliver internal communications. The IT department was asked to "sort it out". It was an opportunity to introduce some new technologies which were growing dramatically in popularity on the internet and starting to spread into the enterprise: blogs, wikis and newsfeeds.

Brachial plexus
The brachial plexus is formed from the ventral roots C5 to Th1, with small additions from C4 and Th2. The 5th and 6th cervical nerves unite to form the upper trunk, which continues on to become the major component of the lateral cord. The ventral root of the 7th cervical nerve becomes the middle trunk and together with portions of the upper and lower trunk continues on to become the posterior cord. Ultimately, the 8th cervical nerve and the 1st thoracic nerve unite to form the lower trunk, which together with portions of the middle trunk becomes the medial cord. The brachial plexus passes through the posterior scalenus gap relatively close to the surface between the scalenus anterior and scalenus medius muscles. A short distance away, it leaves the suprascapular nerve, which primarily supplies the shoulder joint, exiting from the upper trunk to the dorsal. The trunks subsequently divide to form the individual cords just above the clavicle.
The axillary artery is encased together with the cords in a common sheath which runs beneath the clavicle in the direction of the axilla. This neurovascular sheath should run from the deep cervical fascia to the axilla. Before reaching the axilla, the plexus divides into the following nerves:
- Musculocutaneous nerve from the lateral cord
- Median nerve from the lateral and medial cords
- Ulnar nerve from the medial cord
- Radial, axillary and circumflex humeri nerves from the posterior cord.
It is assumed that differing septation within this common sheath is responsible for the varying susceptibility of the individual nerves to the effects of anaesthesia. This septation as well as the functional existence of a common fascial sheath have been the subject of discussion. Nonetheless, clinical practice and a number of studies have shown that there must be an anatomical basis for a single injection technique. Our own investigations on the cadaver did not reveal a common "tube", rather a filigreed, hexagonal, certainly very easily penetrated septation.

It's been awhile since we've had an orgy scene but when BSB makes you wait they certainly have a way of making it up to us. Today they've put Chandler, Tyler, Gage, and David together in a foursome and boy oh boy it going to be a treat! There's no need to talk, these boys know what they're here to do. Let's get cracking.
The boys split up, Chandler with David and Gage with Tyler. Both pairs make out and begin to strip each other. Soon David and Gage are sitting back while their partners suck their growing dicks. Chandler and Tyler are both great cock suckers and they have their partners stiff in no time. With everyone on brick, it's time for the fucking to begin. The boys get on the bed, with Chandler and Tyler on all fours ready to take cock. Gage and David eagerly enter the asses before them and begin to pound away. Tyler's bubble butt has me drooling as Gage fucks him hard and raw! David is also putting in work, making Chandler moan at the end of his joy stick. At BSB caring is sharing, so David and Gage switch allowing the other to get in their partner's sweet asses.
When the time comes for them to flip, David and Gage get treated to rim jobs from their partners before getting fucked on their backs. Soon Chandler becomes the center of attention. Chandler ends up getting his ass fingered by the other three guys and then things get a little rough as they tie his hands behind his back and take turns pounding that sweet ass and fucking that mouth! When all is said and done Chandler is covered in the cum of three friends.
How does a simple game of pool turn into an orgy? When the stakes revolve around a blow job. Once Ian makes his final shot, Brody gets down on his knees to pay up. He pulls Ian's dick right through his BSB underwear and begins to suck on it. It's safe to say that despite his newbie status, he's becoming one of the best cocksucker s on the site. As he gives s was world class blow job; their buddies, Ronan and David watch and begin to stroke their cocks.
Brody stands and Ian starts to fondle his cock before getting on his knees and taking full advantage of the boy's hard on. Ian sucks that meat-sicle like a true cock hungry pro. Brody moans in pleasure as their audience continues to stroke. Brody bends Ian over the pool table and pushes his pole deep inside. Once he's in, all bets are off. He fucks Ian nice and hard. Ian's ass bounces nicely off Brody, what a delicious site.
Sick of just watching Brody get all the action, Ronan comes over and takes over fucking Ian while David gets on his knees and services Brody. Ian groans out as Ronan's big monster cock stretches his hole even more. Being the pro that he is, Ian takes every inch of it. The boys switch, allowing David to get his chance to fuck Ian's juicy booty on the pool table. Brody and Ronan also end up on the pool table, making out and exchanging blow jobs. After getting a blow job form David, Ian gets on his knees and lets all three boys cum on him at the same time. Ian releases his load after the first drop lands on his chest. I should play pool more.
And another BSB orgy! It's about to go down. This time we've got Vadim, Brandon, Zeno, and Blake. This is an interesting mix of guys and I can't wait to see who's going to do what. Let's get it in!
The boys quickly lose their clothes and pair off; Vadim with Brandon and Zeno with Blake. It's a scene of opposites attract as the smaller boys are all over their taller counterparts. Brandon quickly gets on his knees and begins to suck Vadim's' dick. He gets on his knees and begins to suck Vadim's dick. He is soon joined on the floor by Blake who wraps his juicy lips around Zeno's thick cock. Vadim is audibly pleased; verbally letting Brandon know that he's doing an excellent job. While getting their dicks slobbered on, Vadim and Zeno begin to kiss. The boys transition into a cock serving chow line: Blake on Brandon, Zeno on Blake, and Vadim on Zeno. I would say me on Vadim but I think my invitation got lost in the mail L
After some very filling, sausage swallowing the boys move over to the bed. Brandon bends over and offers his ass to Blake while Vadim sits right on Reno's cock. I've seen a lot of great asses on BSB; but Brandon's is quickly making it to the top of the list. That beautiful bubble ass bounces right off of Blake. While watching those fleshy gloves get worked, Vadim demands that Zeno fuck him harder. Zeno of course obliges and begins to pound those cakes from below. Wanting to join in on Vadim's rough treatment, Brandon smacks and playfully chokes him while continuing to get his hole drilled.
Our BSB boys are always down to share. Zeno makes his way over to Blake while Brandon gives up his booty to Zeno. Vadim works Blake's dick over with his mouth before getting bent over the bed and pummeled from behind. They transition to Vadim getting spit roasted by Brandon nad Blake, while Brandon happily sucks Zeno's dick.
When it's time to cum these boys CUM! They all fire their loads all over Vadim. All except for Brandon, who shot his hot jizz right into Vadim's pretty mouth. Hell even my load hit Vadim, albeit on the screen.
Hot, hot, hot scene boys!
Oh boy! Another group scene! They're starting to spoil us. Tyler, Romeo, and Kaden are on set and ready to fuck. These dudes waste no time. Tyler gets things cracking by pulling Kaden and Romeo toward him. I don't know what's gotten into Tyler lately but he loves to taste armpits. He gives Kaden's and Romeo's pits a good cleaning.
Soon the cock sucking fest begins with Tyler sucking Kaden and Romeo sucking Tyler. This is how BSB boys mingle. The boys move over to the bed where Tyler lies down and begins to give Romeo head while experiencing some mouth on dick attention from Kaden. All of these boys know how to use their pie holes!
Kaden decides to really get things popping by sitting on Tyler's dick. We cannot really hear him moan because his mouth is filled with Romeo's cock. After having his hole thoroughly stroked; Kaden gets up and lets Romeo have a turn. Tyler fucks Romeo from the back good while Romeo swallows Kaden's man bat. They flip Romeo on his back and fuck him stupid until all three of them blow nice loads. They completely hose Romeo down with cum!
Oh my! It's time for another BSB orgy! Ryan and Skyler have never been in an orgy mix like this so I hope they're as excited as I am. Tyler and Kaden have been through this before so I'm sure they'll show these boys the ropes. Let the games begin!
The boys instantly pair off and begin kissing and rubbing all over each other. Tyler gets a little too excited and takes a hair out of Kaden's arm pit with his teeth! Kaden returns the favor by kissing and sucking on Tyler's pits. Yum! Meanwhile, Skyler has his hands full with Ryan, literally. These two are really into each other as they intimately rub and kiss. Ryan and Tyler get laid onto the bed and their respective partners begin to eat their asses. They really are into taste testing today! Kaden and Ryan put those tongues to good use and really work those holes over. Skyler digs deep into Ryan's ass with his tongue. Kaden and Skyler pull their boys to the edge of the bed and they begin to digest their dicks. Tyler and Ryan enjoy the sight while making out with one another. Then they form a good ole' cock slinging chow line. Kaden sucks Tyler, Tyler sucks Ryan, and Ryan sucks Skyler.
After some good cock sucking the boys really get things popping. Tyler fucks Ryan on the side of the bed. That boy has a nice juicy ass. Tyler slides over and feeds his dick to Ryan while Kaden moves behind Skyler and slides his dick inside him. Wow! Now we've got two asses getting fucked! Kaden sits on the bed and Skyler sits on Kaden's' dick. Ryan begins to suck Skyler's dick while getting fucked from behind by Tyler. After being fucked all over the place, it finally time for Ryan to get some ass, he puts Tyler on his back and takes his turn. Skyler lies on his back beside Tyler and gets fucked by Kaden.
After all that fucking, sucking, and cock handling all four boys blow their loads. But it doesn't end there. We get to see this sexy foursome take a steamy shower. BSB out did themselves this time!

SOUTH BEND Â? Christian Smith, professor of sociology and director of Notre DameÂ?s Center for the Study of Religion and Society, has written a new book on the subject of giving to the poor.
Co-written by Smith, with Michael O. Emerson and Notre Dame graduate student Patricia Snell, Â?Passing the Plate: Why American Christians DonÂ?t Give Away More MoneyÂ? will be published by Oxford University Press.
The book is a sociological examination of the anomalous stinginess according to which the traditional Christian exhortation to tithe Â? that is, to give a tenth of oneÂ?s income to the charitable works of the church Â? has fallen on ears so deaf that, by some accounts, most Christians give as little as 1 percent of their annual income, and fully a fifth give nothing at all.
Making use of social surveys, government and denominational reports, and interviews with Christian pastors and church members, the book assesses various influences on charity.

Hello everyone today I wanted to share my thoughts on a great series Crossroads Academy:)
You can also connect with J.J. at:
CrossRoads Academy#1
When Katia enrolled at Crossroads Academy she knew things weren't exactly going to be easy. The sole heir to the worlds' most powerful vampire, her presence was bound to cause a stir. But nothing could have prepared her for this. Whispers follow everywhere she goes. So does trouble.
Bodies start turning up in nearby Rutland and Katia is sucked into a twisted web of danger and deceit. Haunted by nightmares she can't explain and a thirst for blood that is never sated, Katia will do whatever it takes to keep her past buried.
Nothing at Crossroads is what it seems and Katia's secrets may be the darkest of them all.
CrossRoads Academy#2 RED DAWN
Katia's done running. She's fought fiercely to protect her identity, her secrets, and those she loves most. And while it hasn't been easy, she's finally making peace with the past. Katia's even looking forward to the start of a new school year at Crossroads Academy.
Too bad things at Crossroads are going to be a little different this fall. There are new rules, new students, and new relationships. Katia quickly discovers that navigating the halls of Crossroads is as complicated as ever.
When a friend's life is at stake, Katia will be forced to choose between the safety of Crossroads and an enemy more dangerous than any she's ever faced. Will Katia have the courage to risk it all -including her life- for a friend?
Book:1 The Crossroads Academy series Book#1 and #2 follows seventeen year old Katia who is the new girl at an exclusive boarding called CrossRoads Academy. The only thing Katia wishes to do is to study hard and train for one reason, to make her Uncle Aldo proud. Katia does not want to make friends, desiring to remain under the radar. Katia has a painful past and a dark secret and to protect not only herself but those she loves, she attempts to keep her distance. This proves difficult as she meets the very gorgeous Nikolai and the quirky, vivacious Shaye. Both become someone she cares for and one of the first she has to protect when her past catches up with her. There are murders happening in the town,and her friends wishes to fight by her side. Katia knows that ultimately it is her fight alone.
Book:2 Katia must once again face danger once, to save something she never expected to have- a friend. Now the dangers are not just from Katia's past but a present danger that threatens her entire world.
I happened to come across this series while surfing Amazon. The incredible covers caught my eyes first. Then the blurb caused me to hit the click button. I found the story very interesting; there was a steady build at the start of the story creating the world that Katia now found herself in. Plus the author plants the seeds of suspense, that keeps the reader turning the page. Katia has a secret and the author does an incredible job of maintaining the thrill throughout the entire book.The reader does not discover until the end, right alone with the characters Katias secret! Oh my goodness that almost drove me crazy!:O) I was on pins and needles the entire time wondering WHAT was it about this girl? What is she hiding? Why? and What will happen now?
It was wonderful twist on not only does she meet the boy of her dreams at the beginning, within the first few pages. She spends half the book, not sure if she really likes him! Wow, no love at first sight!:O) I found that little twist fun, because poor Nikolai, as hot and charming as he was, had to gain Katia's trust by being a friend first and showing his mettle!This touch of realism made the eventuality of their being together(oops! I hope I did not spoil it:) much more realistic and their devotion authentic.
The pace started slow and steady, a wonderful build up, and then once it took off then there was no holds barred on action which carried right into the next book Red Dawn. Where all is pretty much established now the group is solidified, and each of the member's talents are being shown. This makes me believe that this series is going from, just a new girl goes to school has a secret finds a hot guy and then all is solved and well! No! It has now fleshed into much more and takes these kids on an adventure into the Big Easy, yes one of my favorite places New Orleans!
The second book is action from the start and stays steady, flowing well into the great ending. I am looking forward to the next because I can see a long successful series, due to the direction the author has taken with these characters, as they fight not only for their friend's life but now their very existence as a people!
Well written, fun, entertaining a must read for lovers of the supernatural, and paranormal reads. Appropriate for Teens 14 and up due to mild fantasy violence.

Simulating the Sacred: Theodore Strehlow's Songs of Central Australia (1971)
It may be impossible to reconstruct what it meant for the Arrernte people of Central Australia to have the Bible translated into their language. The continuing practice of Christianity among the Arrernte shows just how powerful this wealth of stories was for this remote community. This conversion experience was reciprocated by a whitefella and the son of the Bible translator, Theodor Strehlow, who worked on converting the song-cycles of the Arrernte into English. These are not so much translations as conversions, as Strehlow, much to the annoyance of later anthropologists, rendered them into a poetry of rhythm and cadence influenced by Greek and Norse myth. In doing so, Strehlow wanted to simulate his own conversion experience, his own experience of this desert people and their lives, and to do so he was forced to turn to that which simulates the sacred in Western culture, in the language of poetry and literature. In reading Strehlow's Songs of Central Australia (1971), we might begin to approach the conversion that took place in the desert of Central Australia, and begin to reconstruct the event of religious imperialism.

Revenant Revelation: Reading the Archive in Carpenter's Gothic
Encyclopaedic in its ambit, William Gaddis's 1985 work, Carpenter's Gothic, does as Derrida says all good literature should do, and 'tries to say everything'. In this way, the novel functions as a textual 'archive', gathering its material from all manner of disparate sources, and making reference to the political, economic, and religious conditions of an America in the midst of the Reagan-era. In this paper, I will try to elucidate the type of archival labour that such literature engages in, and, with Carpenter's Gothic as my guide, will seek to understand the specific deployment of the Bible within such a framework. Whether in the perversion of scriptural quotation, or the offering of skewed biblical allusions, the workings of Gaddis's archive point towards a 'decanonising' of any 'original' biblical text, a questioning of all interpretive authority, and the collapse of literal and figurative signification. What are the wider implications of this archival hermeneutic? What can it reveal about American culture more generally? And what does it say about the Bible as an archive in and of itself?
Marion Maddox
Faith in our Leaders
On the rare occasions when public commentators delve into the relationship between religious and political commitments, the result is often naively determinist—'He believes X so he does Y'. But such a striking distinction invites over-simplified analysis. The determinist approach bears little relationship to what we know about real political and religious behaviour, and extreme examples do little to challenge it.
In the UK at the beginning of the twenty-first century, one avowedly Christian Prime Minister succeeded another. Same party, similar traditions, and both claimed the Christian socialist mantle—but the transition marked a significant shift in the flavour of Labour politics.
Taking a case study of two closely politically-aligned leaders can help avoid the dangers of a 'left wing / right wing' oversimplification, and holds out the possibility of a finer-grained exploration of the relationship between religion and politics.
Matthew Chrulew
Suspicion and love
Central to the recent philosophical reactivation of Paul has been the argument that in our era of imperial sovereignty and advanced global capitalism the most appropriate politics is one of love. These attempts to reinvigorate progressive materialist politics are often characterised as a break with the perceived relativist tendencies of French philosophy. We must move, it is said, from the postmodern negativity of critique and disconnection to a new, positive politics of creativity and fraternity. Deconstructionist criticisms have insisted on the violent exclusions necessary to any such politics. This essay will argue that Foucault's genealogy of modern biopolitics and governmentality as a Christianisation-in-depth demonstrates its suffocating history and contemporary risks. Only through attention to the dangers of the Christian-secular dispositif could a politics of love be articulated that might unravel, rather than intensify, the grid of power relations.

Job's Body in Pain: Reading Job 16:7-14 with Elaine Scarry
Saturated with pain and suffering, Job 16 is one of the most gruesome accounts of divine violence in the Hebrew Bible. In this paper, I consider the ways in which Elaine Scarry's theory of pain, body, and voice is reflected in Job 16: 7-14. My analysis begins with two of Scarry's central arguments: pain destroys language and narrows the sufferer's focus onto her body and to be embodied is to be without power while to have voice is to have power.
In this passage, I see Scarry's model reflected in Job's diminished voice and in his accentuated bodily experience. By ignoring his claims to innocence, his friends and community diminish Job's voice, while his obsession with his physical inflictions accentuates his own bodily experience.
At the same time, though embodied, Job is not wholly without power. Thus, Job extends Scarry's thesis on the relationship between pain, body, and language. In this passage, I see Job showing his resistance to the source of his pain despite his apparent lack of voice. His nuanced body imagery gives him voice and enacts resistance. Rather than surrendering his body to God in battle, through his body imagery, Job articulates his resistance. While the marks of divine disfavor on Job's body cause him to lose power in his community, in a subtle twist, Job uses his body to gain some agency.

The Vulnerable Body in the Wisdom Literature
This paper seeks to reconstruct a physiognomy of the human body by analysis of metaphorical language pertaining to the body. The body as an entity vulnerable to an array of detrimental pressures and afflictions is fundamental to much of the metaphorical language used in the Wisdom literature. Of primary concern is imagery in which the body is the vehicle for expressing what modern Western thought would deem mental processes. The issue of dualistic thinking thus becomes pertinent; the extent to which the historian can discard this binary structure of thought is problematic when approaching an ancient framework that often did not differentiate between "mental" and "physical". To what extent does the body imagery in the Wisdom Literature envisage a cohesive state in which mental processes and mental states are consistent with bodily disease, degeneration or affliction (or their opposites, physical health, wholeness and well being)? Is it appropriate or even possible to talk of a Hebrew conception of pathology? The aim of this paper is to address these questions with a view to providing a model of Hebrew conceptions of bodily distress and their related mental processes, as seen in the Wisdom Literature.

Ideology, Intertextuality, and the David and Jonathan Narratives
The question of the ideologically determined use of word statistics to disambiguate the David and Jonathan narratives is the crux of the disagreement between Silvia Schroer and Thomas Staubli (1996; 2000) on the one hand, and Markus Zehnder (1998; 2007) on the other. There are several underlying issues here. What is the role of intertexts in the exegesis of biblical narratives whose construal is not only uncertain philologically, but whose meaning is disputed on ideological grounds? What is the role of the reader (cf. Eco 1979) in the disambiguation and construal of such texts? What is at stake in identifying limits to the interpretation of such texts (cf. Eco 1990)? This paper addresses the use of the Holiness Code in the study of the David and Jonathan narratives, the appeal to Homer's Iliad and the Epic of Gilgámesh, and the excerption of material from the David and Jonathan narratives from Samuel and their insertion into an anthology of 'gay' literature (Fone 1998), and seeks to demonstrate that while some of these uses of intertexts are intended to close down the possibilities for interpreting the David and Jonathan narratives, they in fact necessarily contribute to the polyvalence of these narratives, a polyvalence that is not only rooted in the narrative art of the texts themselves, but that is organically related to their Rezeptionsgeschichte.
Michael Carden
Sodomy, Sodomites and Same-Sex Marriage
In which I revisit Sodom and Gomorrah. Current debates around same sex marriage have shown up marriage as a site for heteronormativity. On the face of it, a male or a female couple getting married should not be a cause for panic, least of all invested with dire apocalyptic meaning as one finds on so many US Christian fundamentalist sites. Indeed, one of the arguments used in favour of same sex marriage is that it provides stability in sexual relationships. And, traditionally, marriage is one of the chief ways of regulating sexual activity, albeit primarily women's sexual activity. Surely people who rail against gay "promiscuity" should be in favour of anything that would regulate and "stabilise" homosexual sexuality? However what if marriage is itself understood as a sign of heteronormativity, even a guarantee of heterosexuality itself? Same sex marriage then undermines this heterosexual, heteronormative guarantee? The underpinnings of this equation can be found in Reformation discourse on marriage, continence and sodomy. The Swiss Reformer, Heinrich Bullinger, in his Decades expounds a vision of a "continent" society, in which marriage is the lynchpin and set up against the apocalyptic evil of sodomy. The same themes recur in a 17th century execution sermon, The Cry of Sodom, from American New England by the Puritan minister and preacher, Samuel Danforth. The paper will explore the way both Bullinger and Danforth anticipate many of the themes in contemporary fundamentalist Christian discourse against same sex marriage.

"Hurt me is not women's speech. It is the speech imposed on women by pimps to cover the awful, condemning silence." (Dworkin, 'Against the Male Flood,' 17).
"Splayed legs are silence. Being beaver, pussy, cunt, bunnies, pets – that is silence. 'Hurt me, hurt me more' is silence. And those that think it is speech have never heard a woman's voice, not ever." (Dworkin, 'Pornography and Civil Rights,' unpublished speech)
In the Song of Songs, the beating of the woman by the watchmen in 5:7 is generally understood to be either part of a dream or waking fantasy/nightmare (?) by the woman. Briefly, having risen to open the door to her beloved, she is stunned to find that he has left. She goes out searching for him, but the watchmen instead find, beat, bruise and strip her (Song 5:2-7). This has always been a problematic moment in the text, especially for those who wish the song to be understood as an egalitarian model of love between the sexes. However, according to Virginia Burrus' and Stephen Moore's (2003) recent work on the Song, developed especially in light of Roland Boer's own pornographic x-egesis, the 'beating' scene might just subvert the oppressive reduction of woman to passive sexual partner, even victim, expressing instead woman's desire for masochistic enjoyment.
Burrus and Moore do pay particular care to the obvious question of abuse. They insist, though, that the text is ambiguous:
…the line between the female masochist and the battered woman may continue to blur troublingly – as though it were actually impossible to distinguish in the
end between a woman whose rapist claims "she asks for it" and a woman who quite
literally asks for it, in the "contractual" context of s/m eroticism. (Burrus and Moore, 2003: 48-49)
Ultimately, they insist that this ambiguity in Song 5:2-7 – the difficulty of distinguishing 'the pain-filled pleasure of a bottom and the pleasureless pain of a battered woman' – is essential to maintain. The queer, often pornographic elements (possibilities?) of the text, drawn out implicitly in the writings of medieval allegorists and most explicitly in the work of Boer on the Song, destabilise the gender binary that thwarts women's sexuality and subjectivity under the regime of heterosexuality, i.e. heteronormativity.
In this paper I want to ask two different, though related questions: 'Does a woman's desire for a "good beating" subvert or sustain patriarchal sexual order?' and, 'Is it possible to imagine a woman being beaten as a (philosophically) good thing, as something that enhances her humanity in a patriarchal social order?' I shall offer some preliminary answers to these questions in conversation with Virginia Burrus, Stephen Moore, Roland Boer, Andrea Dworkin and the Song of Songs.

'If I forget you': a linguistic and stylistic analysis of Psalm 137
No other psalm defies the delineation of genre to the same extent as Ps 137. Hailed variously as a 'touching lament' and as a 'bitter dirge', many admirers of the work are hard-pressed to incorporate the final, somewhat dissonant verse into the same broad category. Rather than attempting to downplay this verse, as some scholars have done, this paper aims to demonstrate that it is crucial to an understanding of the psalm's sitz im leben. It allows us to establish (albeit hesitantly) a date for composition, to remark with more surety upon the intended audience in their relationship with the author, and to confidently identify the central irony within the overall piece. It is this ironic element that says more about the author and his/her own identity as a Judean than would a hundred other psalms, written in more conventional fashion.

The secular state of the nation: sovereignty, secularism and law
What does it mean to say that the Australian state is a secular one? Secular law typically begins when a state has no religious competitor for authority. For this reason, it can be said that the Australian state is secular because its authority is derived from its own laws. What makes Australian law sovereign, the highest authority within the state, is its secularity. However, given Australia's colonial heritage, it is not just the absence of religious authority, such as a state religion, that gives the state its secularity. The law's foundations in colonial violence and the extinguishment of Indigenous sovereignty as a competing authority are also a crucial way in which secular Australian law can continue to operate as the sovereign authority within the state. In this paper, I will think through the ways legal and political characterizations of the law as secular work to disavow the state's racialised foundations in colonial violence. How might secularism be re-thought of as not simply the operation of law without religion, but also, as complicit with the ways indigenous sovereignties in colonial states are negated?

Negri, Job and the Bible
This paper is drawn from an afterword to Antonio Negri's The Labour of Job, the translation of which will appear with Duke University Press later this year. The book was written when Negri was in prison in Italy and then in exile in Paris and it is an effort to come to terms with revolutionary disappointment after his involvement with the far left in Italy. The text of Job was one way of dealing with that disappointment. In assessing Negri's engagement with Job, three features stand out, at least for one trained in that arcane discipline of biblical criticism: radical homiletics, philosophical commentary and the politics of cosmogony. In this paper I explore each one as I follow the ropes that moor Negri's The Labour of Job to the Bible and biblical criticism.
At the heart of the book is what I would like to call a radical homiletics. A discipline much neglected these days, homiletics is really the art of connecting a text like the Bible with the realities of everyday life, moving from the intricacies of textual analysis to the application to life. Negri's homiletics is radical on two counts, one political, resting on Marx, and the other textual, reading Job as a pre-eminent document for our time. Job both describes our time and offers a way through the impasse of Left action.
Further, this book is a philosophical commentary. Caught in the rough ground between two camps – radical philosophy and biblical criticism – it is not conventional biblical criticism, if such a thing actually exists, with its characteristic assumptions, methods and skills. Is Negri then a lone philosopher making a foray into biblical analysis? Without a sense of what may be called the 'mega-text' of biblical criticism, is he bound to trip up? Not quite, for there is another patchwork tradition of what may be called philosophical exegesis or commentary. Some texts of the Bible – Genesis 1-11, the letters of Paul, Job – continue to call forth commentary from philosophers and sundry critics of other persuasions. Negri's text falls in with this group.
Third, there is the strong organising axis of measure and immeasure, an axis I will soften and reshape into the tension between chaos and cosmogony. Indeed, (im)measure is the way Negri reinterprets that biblical opposition and he does so through the theme of the 'creative ontology of labour'. I want to explore the political possibilities that this biblical theme offers Negri.

The Address Dubai Marina - Dubai (04 454 9538). Average cost for 2 people: Dh700
There's something special about Ruth's Chris during Christmas. Sure, the steakhouse is a must-visit for local carnivores all through the year, but in December, it outdoes itself.
The walls shrink in and the massive space feels rather cosy, the otherwise blank spaces on the walls are filled with Christmas décor and there are large well-decorated trees placed ever-so-carefully around the restaurant.
As their 2016 Christmas menu was probably one of the best in Dubai, I was curious to see how they would outdo themselves this year around.
You're welcomed with a glass of white grape and led to your table sprinkled with Christmas confetti and your own personal Christmas cracker. After you childishly fool around for a bit, your first course is served.
You have the choice between the Northwest snow crab bisque and the smoked duck breast salad with Saint Germain vinaigrette.
I truly hoped the duck tasted as good as it had looked on the menu. Its preparation and presentation seemed similar to something anyone with a passing hobby in the culinary arts could whip up in a few minutes. The crab bisque luckily came to the first course's rescue. It was rich in flavour while light enough to not fill up precious real estate in your tummy.
It was a good start to the second course that followed. Following the bisque was the Osso Buco Ravioli and Cremini mushrooms ragout. The ragout was an experience: flavourful, delicious and it carried the dish single-handedly. Since I'm going through a pasta phase right now, and have hurled a fair amount of pasta at my kitchen walls, I can safely say that that ravioli was a tad bit overcooked and rubbery. To be fair to the ravioli, I did keep it waiting a few minutes while I surveyed the bar.
After you're done with your first two courses, appreciating the flavours and mumbling about minor faults – your entrée shows up to steal the show.
You have the choice between the Petite Filet with Foie Gras and Black winter truffle; the BBQ Spiced salmon with roasted fennel; the stuffed chicken with dried fruit and fingerling; and the Chef's turkey with all the trimmings.
I lost you after Petite Filet didn't I? Ruth's Chris lost me after Petite Filet too.
While it would seem apt to opt for the Turkey and trimmings during the festive season, it just didn't feel right – deep down in my soul – to not order the steak at Ruth's Chris STEAKHouse. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
As expected from one of the best steakhouses in the city – my medium rare filet was exceptional. Don't let its small size fool you – it was quite filling.
Even if you're a bottomless pit, its sides of fire-roasted corn with garlic butter, roasted brussels sprouts in honey butter and – my personal favourite – rosemary baby roasted potato will definitely usher you into a deep food coma for the rest of the night.
After a quick trip to the bar and a walk around the restaurant's outdoor balcony, you're ready for dessert – if you can manage it.
A generous portion of white chocolate bread pudding rounds up your festive experience at Ruth's Chris. Despite being stuffed by the previous courses, the bread pudding is sinfully delicious, and you will force yourself to inhale every single morsel on your plate. Despite being a dessert-hound, I'm ashamed to admit I couldn't finish it. Though I have spent many days since that evening thinking about the rich pudding that I turned my back on. :(
The experience sets you back by Dh450 and a 24-hour booking is required in advance.

In advertisements, women are often portrayed as losing control when they eat chocolate. They are often shown as aroused and only focused on indulging in chocolate. However, what is problematic about these types of advertisements is that they portray women as sexual objects, and as irrational and weak human beings who cannot control themselves. These advertisements, regardless of whether they represent female consumers or producers, are hyper-sexualized in order to demonstrate that women have an innate need for chocolate, and to encourage them to indulge. Thus, chocolate advertisements undermine women's power in society, and as cacao farmers. In order to counteract this bias towards women, we created an advertisement that shows women as strong and powerful.
In Nutella's advertisement, a young woman is portrayed as highly aroused due to Nutella, a famous hazelnut spread made by the Ferrero Rocher company. The woman's eyes are only focused on the Nutella jar. Her hair is messy, and she looks like she is not even worried about that. Her messy hair also adds to her sexualized image because of the stereotype of women with messy hair after sexual intercourse. As Robertson discusses in her book, women as consumers of chocolate have historically been depicted as obsessed by chocolate (Robertson 35).
With her backpack hanging from her right shoulder, she looks like a young woman about to go to school. A young woman might have been picked for the advertisement to demonstrate the fantasy promoted by chocolate manufacturers that chocolate is a freedom from adulthood (Barthel 1989). According to this notion, chocolate relieves people from the boredom of the real world and puts them in a euphoric state in which they give in to their innate need for chocolate. The narrative behind the advertisement seems like the young lady was about to go to school, but instead, she got intrigued by Nutella and lost control completely, forgetting about her responsibilities such as going to school, and her appearance. It also seems like she does not mind having Nutella all around her face. In fact, her tongue is visible, trying to eat Nutella around her mouth. The caption "everyone wants it" merely adds to the sexual tone of the representation of this young woman. As chocolate is depicted as an innate desire for women, it goes together with other innate needs such as sex. Thus, she is portrayed as an "irrational narcissistic consumer" (Robertson 33), who shows women that it is okay to indulge. But, the advertisement does not demonstrate the hardship behind producing chocolate. She is only portrayed as a consumer and definitely not as a producer.
However women are featured in advertisements, whether they are producers or consumers, they are portrayed in a hyper-sexualized way. The above advertisement shows a woman who is a cacao producer but still portrays her as a sexual object. The woman in the advertisement is a Ghanian cacao farmer of the Kuapa Kokoo cooperative (Leissle 123) holding a piece of chocolate in her hand. She is also a co-owner of Divine Chocolate, a company that the above advertisement markets. The advertisement highlights her breasts especially with revealing clothing and her sassy, alluring pose. The caption of the advertisement also alludes to her attractiveness by suggesting that the viewer has an "appetite" for the woman in the ad. Leissle claims that Divine Chocolate advertisements offer an opportunity to demonstrate women farmers as actors and beneficiaries in transnational exchanges of materials such as cacao and chocolate (Leissle 122). While the advertisement does more than Nutella advertisement in looking beyond the image of women as mere consumers of chocolate, it fails to show them in a non-sexual context.
In order to push back against this sexualized image of women, we created an advertisement that demonstrates women as rational consumers and active producers. In our advertisement, the women are portrayed as ordinary people who are happy working in cacao farms to produce chocolate. The pictures used in the advertisements are taken when the women are in cacao farms and are carrying cacao beans. They are in a normal pose and wearing daily clothes that they work in. Their facial expressions are very natural and realistic. The woman on the right is smiling as she is carrying the cacao pods but her smile is not seductive; it is purely a representation of the joy she gets as a cacao farmer.
Women are shown as sexualized, weak consumers of chocolate in advertisements. This is problematic in mainly two ways: women are sexualized, and the actual importance of producing cacao is undermined by the way these images turn female producers into indulgent consumers. The image of women as "irrationally overwhelmed and rendered slaves of chocolate" (Robertson 54) is embedded in the ideologies of our society. The sexualization of chocolate represents the societal ideology that women are objects, and diminishes their sense of agency and importance as contributors to society. As long as the contemporary image of women does not change, it seems unlikely that such portrayals would cease to exist.

Hi Friends old and new.
Yesterday we moved from Downton Bridge 36 to Crick, but due to poor internet signal I was unable to get on here. Isn't it funny how moving just 200metres up the towpath this morning can give you a better signal, and even better TV reception.
Yesterday began with the sound of the Skylark's singing in the field opposite the boat. They were really singing their little hearts out as Paddy and I walked the towpath to a field where he could have a good run. Not that Paddy is much of a runner, but he likes to make an attempt. The weather was a little gloomy, but it did brighten as the day wore on. Whilst we were on the move, I put some Sausage Rolls in the oven and we had them on the move with Coffee. I got to take the tiller just after Yelvertoft and all the way to Crick. My confidence grows the more I handle the boat. Because she handles differently when loaded and unloaded, I need to keep working her. Hadar does not handle like our old boat, but then our old boat was only a 50ft floating cottage. As they say practice makes perfect. Not that any boater is perfect, even though some seem to think they are. We arrived at Crick and moored up near Crick Bridge, which was fine, but for the internet and TV siganl, they were pretty none existent. Watching the tv was bad on the eyes, because it looked like the picture was coming through a snow storm. During the afternoon Paul and Merleen friends of ours from Warwick came and paid us a visit. It was lovely to catch up with them both and all their news. They bought me some lovely Daffodiles.
So far today we have delivered coal to three customers in the rain. It has not stopped raining all day, which means the canals are going to be nice and full. With coal deliveries done, I relit the back cabin stove, made an Apple Crumble and got the usual jobs done. We are going to be at Crick for the weekend, so we will get to watch the coming's and going's of the boats in the marina. I would love to say I feel on top of the world, but that is far from the truth, because yesterday I came down with a sore throat and a headache, which laid me up during the early afternoon. I am not one for laying down for nap, but yesterday I took myself into the back cabin and laid down for an hour. I did not really sleep, but dozed a little which helped. Today the sore throat has all but gone and now I just have a head full of cotton wool. Not sure where it came from, but I could really do without it.
Oh deep joy Paddy has just peed on the back cabin floor making one of the rag rugs wet grrrrr. This is very unlike him. I just took him off of the boat and he peed for England. I guess I have to go and wash the mat out now, which will be fun.
Chat soon xx
Hi I am Jo…wife, lover, best friend and soulmate to Keith. Lover of all things to do with nature and the canals. I am passionate about the Waterways and its history.
I hope you will join me in my rambles and do please comment – I love to hear from and meet new people in blogland!

Traditional namespaces also occur outside the field of computer science -- for example, the names of people could be thought to inhabit a traditional namespace, as could the names of species.They are disjoint -- that is, they are not related.A traditional namespace is a set of zero or more names, each of which must be unique within the namespace and constructed according to the rules (if any) of the namespace.For example, the names of element types in an XML document inhabit a traditional namespace, as do the names of tables in a relational database and the names of class variables in a Java class.
The mechanism for associating an XML document with a schema varies according to the schema language.
The SAX and the DOM XML parsers are available on Android.
SAX and DOM have their limitations, therefore it is not recommended to use them on Android.
All XML documents must be well-formed, but it is not required that a document be valid unless the XML parser is "validating", in which case the document is also checked for conformance with its associated schema.
DTD-validating parsers are most common, but some support XML Schema or RELAX NG as well.

PROTECTOR is the fastest growing rye variety available, it even grows at low temperatures when other varieties stop growing.
Helps provide protection against soil erosion because of soil coverage and rapid plant development in autumn.
Constantly high uptake of nitrogen during the autumn period. Fertiliser can be applied in early spring but should kept at a moderate level.
Dry matter yield of PROTECTOR is higher than that of other similar varieties (and is similar to hybrid rye) at time of cutting in early May.
PROTECTOR is a useful cover crop option before silage maize.
This makes PROTECTOR a commercially valuable choice.
PROTECTOR is an excellent supplier of biomass due to its good time:output ratio.
Harvest tip: Wilt PROTECTOR to a dry matter content of more than 18 % to prevent unwanted effluent.

Newton Abbot, UK (PRWEB) February 5, 2009
Credit card companies are now more likely to take legal action against borrowers who default on payments, warns Credit Problems No Problem (http://www.creditproblemsnoproblem.co.uk). The credit card companies are seeking County Court Judgements (CCJ) against bad credit card holders who default on payments. If money is still not forthcoming, the credit card companies are then applying for charging orders against the homes of borrowers who cannot pay up.
"In the past credit card companies shied away from taking a defaulter to court and applying for a CCJ against them," said a spokesman for Credit Problems No Problem, which specialises in 'bad credit' loans online for borrowers with County Court Judgments and defaults.
"This is because interest stops accruing when a CCJ is registered against the defendant - preventing a credit card company from adding interest to the monies already owed. But times are changing now. Many card holders are home owners. The credit card companies are seeking CCJs against them then going for charging orders."
A charging order is made by the court and placed on your property's Land Registry file. Should you sell your home in the future, the charging order has to be paid before you receive any money from the sale.
"You should also be aware that a charging order cannot alone be used to force the sale of your home. We advise anyone faced with having a charging order placed on their property to get good legal advice and proper representation at court. Better still, talk to your credit card company and seek another solution if at all possible."
According to the Ministry of Justice, 132,000 charging orders were granted by courts in England and Wales last year, 42 per cent than the previous 12 months and at least a tenfold increase since 2000.
Credit card companies' crackdown on bad credit borrowers comes despite a string of interest rate cuts by the Bank of England's monetary policy committee - 0.5 per cent in October, 1.5 per cent in November and 1.0 per cent in December and 0.5 per cent in January.
Last month, it was reported that increasing numbers of non-mortgage debts - such as credit card debts - were triggering repossessions. One building society discovered that 28 per cent of all its repossessions were initiated by other lenders.
The sudden increase in repossessions has prompted City regulator the Financial Services Authority to warn lenders over their behaviour towards borrowers who default.
Last November, data from financial information service Moneyfacts revealed that credit card companies had raised interest rates or fees on at least 10 per cent of credit cards. This pushed up the average rate on all credit cards from 16.8 per cent to 17.2 per cent.
Some credit card companies have also cut their zero per cent balance transfer rates - making it harder for borrowers to pay off their debts cheaply. Moneyfacts said the credit card companies were pushing up interest rates to cushion themselves against defaults.
In November it was also reported that the Government had given credit card companies two weeks to agree to stop overcharging borrowers. Prime Minister Gordon Brown told the Commons: "We have got to have proper measures to regulate the industry where people are charging exorbitant rates and we will take whatever action is necessary."
