Ten years ago today, Broadmoor made good on a promise to Tom Benson,
the NFL, the Saints Team and the managers of the Superdome, SMG, that we would
complete the necessary repairs to restore the Dome to "Football
Ready" status in order to open for the NFL Monday Night Football game
between the Saints and the Atlanta Falcons.
This achievement became not only a milestone in Broadmoor's history, but
the return of the Superdome and its home team spoke volumes to the City of New
Originally, it was
assumed that the project would not be completed until 2007. Further into the debate, 2006 became a
possibility, when Paul Tagliabue, the NFL Commissioner, said that the team had
to be in New Orleans for the 2006 Season. With a community in need of a
significant symbol of hope amidst the tragedy, it became clear what a positive
impact the return to the Superdome could have should it be completed in time
for the first Saints home game. Broadmoor's
promise to have the Dome "football-ready" in six months required that we put a collaborative
management approach in place that divided all the scopes of work among the team
and closely coordinate between suppliers and subcontractors in order to assure
that the schedule was maintained.
Taking on a massive
project with an important completion date comes with its share of challenges.
During the initial stages of the activities inside the Superdome, Broadmoor
worked around the remediation contractor hired by the State, who was still
performing the clean-up from the interior destruction. The challenge of the Dome's physical
conditions included a lack of working plumbing, water, or air conditioning in
the 1.9 million square foot building during the hottest summer months.
A lack of vertical
conveyances required the movement of materials and manpower on the ramps. In
tackling this challenge, the work had to be orchestrated to protect completed
areas working from the top to the bottom of the building. Broadmoor devised a
rhythmic plan in which the ramps were designated as "Up" or "Down" for vertical
circulation, which alternated to accommodate the progression of work. The flow
of this essential coordination resulted in a smooth process that prevented the collision
of the vehicles used to maneuver so many companies working in the building at
The impact the Superdome's completion would have on the community held great significance for the
Broadmoor team. The 12-person project management team, many suffering great
personal losses themselves, worked tirelessly to achieve this goal. The project
provided an unprecedented learning opportunity to hone team work skills. The scope of work and intense pressure was
further heightened when the game was moved from a Sunday game to Monday Night
Football. Being watched by the world
pushed Broadmoor's construction teams to interface in unprecedented ways. With
the right planning, and the right team on board, Broadmoor succeeded in having
the Superdome ready in time for that much needed homecoming.
Because Broadmoor actually
completed the necessary repairs ahead of schedule, we were able to further
exceed expectations of the owners with a broadened scope. In addition to
achieving our desired goal, Broadmoor utilized most of the time remaining
before the first home game with renovations that included new flooring, concessions
and finishes.
Just as the
Superdome profile in the skyline of the City of New Orleans is an icon, the
rebuilding of the Superdome became a symbol of the rebirth of the City itself.
The collective understanding of the importance of this project was as pervasive
as the despair of the event that created its necessity. Broadmoor was honored
to be a significant force in this historic moment, as it is an example of how
we strive to honorably serve our community.
"As Construction
Managers for the Louisiana Stadium and Exposition District (LSED), Broadmoor
LLC met the biggest challenge in the history of stadium construction in the
USA…The Saints won that night, but so did the entire state of Louisiana, thanks
to the outstanding team effort led by Broadmoor."
– Doug Thornton, SMG Regional Vice President.

How to develop creative thinking skills and to be more productive?
No doubts, it is an undeniable fact that a person with well-developed creative thinking skills and with an originative potential is much easier to achieve desired goals in life. Those people are more successful in many areas of activity.
The creative vision of life truly helps us to find a proper way to solve problems, to maintain great relationships with others, leads to a healthy lifestyle and is one of the proven ways to the happiness and success.
So, before I will answer the question: how to develop the creative thinking skills, I need you to believe that you absolutely capable of doing everything you are dreaming about.
You are a unique person on this earth and you have an unlimited creative potential!
Creative thinking for artists is a crucial thing. Because whatever you do, your unique and not ordinary creative vision separates you from others. Therefore, to keep your mind in constant creative activity even if you somehow missed an inspiration, there are few creative thinking tips and strategies to follow.
Creative thinking strategies that will help you to increase your the imagination.
15 minutes a day do something unusual and new.
The first and the very important step is to believe in your creative abilities. Write down three things that bring you an incredible excitement, things that you love doing best of all.
The next step is to identify if you do this enough to perceive yourself happy. I am talking about the laziness, fear to be not good enough or something else. Unfortunately, we lose our creative thinking at school or university and we need to learn how to constantly generate this creative power.
For instance, at school, we were told to constantly follow rules. In most of the cases it is very good, but not in the field of art. Now it's time to go out of the limits and to do something opposite of your daily routine.
Have you been using only pencils to draw? Now you try to draw with your fingers only. Used to draw using Photoshop brushes only, grab a sketchbook, pencils and go to the park, spent at least half an hour to try sketching or create beautiful dog portraits instead of people, even if you are not good at that. Do you follow what I am saying?
Do something not typical for you. Try to spare at least 15 minutes a day to develop a new skill doing something not ordinary.
Experimentalize аs often аs you can.
To create something, sometimes you need to blend something new with something old. So let's do it, take something new and mix it with something very old.
Give a freedom to the inventor in yourself! What will happen if you will take and old piece of wood and will think what can you do with it? Maybe you would create an interesting piece of art? Maybe you can create something using only a garbage, by the way, its highly profitable form of art these days.
Try as much as you can and never give up
Do you know what separates geniuses from simple and not ordinary people? A number of attempts before they reach the results, they never give up on their goals. Do you know how many times did Edison fail before he successfully invented the light bulb? As an inventor, Edison made 1,000 unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb. Can you imagine?
Fake it till you make it
If you want to be successful be ready to learn from successful and creative people. As an idea, investigate the story of the latest winners of the Nobel and Pulitzer Prize. It's more than fascinating and interesting, you can learn so much from them. Do you remember one of the most popular quotes: "Fake it till you make it". Dream and imagine how you are reaching your goals, trust me it really works.
Be brave and fearless
Each of us has an own level of curiosity. But only the fearless people are able to expand their limit of curiosity by going out of their own zone of comfort fulfilling their curiosity with real answers to their questions.
For instance searching for the sponsorship support for my projects i forced myself to be dare asking reach people if they are interested in supporting me. It was way not comfortable to approach unknown people introduce myself and ask for help. Some of the people still afraid to do something like that. But only those who ask with get the answers. Force yourself to get acquaintance with at least one new person a week. Be fearless and become unique, learn how to be different from the crowd.
Develop your own persistence
Your success can be right around the corner, but if you are not diligent and you don't know what means perseverance you are in trouble. You need to fight the impatience otherwise; you can lose this single step that separates you from that corner where the success is waiting for you!
- Beside of everything else always get a pleasure from the process of creation;
- Always be honest and open with yourself and others;
- Love what you do and do what you love;
- Travel and explore new destinations;
- Be like a child, be sincere and don't forget to play games and to be funny;
- Watch movies, read books, listen to a music;
- Be active! Sport is very important part of our lives even if you are lazy you have to start working out. The results with come and you will become stronger in everything you do!
- Communicate with people it is also a very important skill to develop.
I would be very happy to recommend you to read an incredible book: "Lateral Thinking: Creativity Step by Step" by Edward De Bono.
This is a first practical explanation of how creativity works. This results-oriented bestseller trains readers to move beyond a "vertical" mode of thought to tap the potential of lateral thinking.
But the most important i think is to know that you are a unique creature and you have got an exceptional gift of life with unlimited abilities to create. Be proud and share this beautiful gift with people and yourself.
Start following those creative thinking strategies today! Spare just 15 minutes a day to develop those new skins and within a week you will see wonderful results that will inspire you to go further and do more. I hope you liked my thought and i am looking to hear what do you think in the comments below!
Please support me sharing this post with your friends via social media!Love you all and wish you a lot of positive thoughts!

17.1 At the Kyoto climate change conference in December
1997, the Community agreed to take certain measures to reduce
emissions of a "basket" of six gases carbon
dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and three so-called "industrial
gases" (hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulphur
hexafluoride). In the light of that agreement, the Commission
put forward in June 1998 a Communication[36]
in which it set out a first analysis of how those commitments
might be met. This was followed in March 2000 by a further Communication[37],
which reviewed the Community's progress to date in meeting its
emissions target, and looked at the steps which will be needed
to reinforce existing policies and to reduce emissions further.
17.2 On the first of these points, it noted that, whilst
the aim for the Community as a whole is to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions by 2008-2012 to a level 8% below 1990 levels[38],
such emissions had in fact been rising in recent years, and that,
without further measures being taken, they were likely to increase
by between 6 and 8%. It also noted that trends in Member States
varied widely from the Community average, with many Member States
finding it increasingly difficult to control their emissions.
17.3 As to the further steps to be taken, the Communication
observed that implementation of the Kyoto Protocol appeared to
be high on the political agenda, in that some Member States had
already strengthened their climate change strategies, whilst many
others were in the process of developing them. It also said that
the Commission had successfully brought forward important measures,
but that "progress would have been far more pronounced"
if some key measures, such as the energy tax proposal, had been
more actively pursued by the Council.
17.4 However, it believed that Member States would have
to commit themselves to a further strengthening of their domestic
policies if their respective targets under the burden sharing
agreement were to be achieved, and that common and co-ordinated
measures at Community level would be needed to supplement these.
It saw this as involving in particular the development within
the Community of an emissions trading system, and the integration
of environmental aspects into sectoral policies, within the context
of a European Climate Change Programme (ECCP). It also said that
it would elaborate further on the Programme, but suggested that
it should initially address ways of achieving the Kyoto target
through action in the energy and transport sectors, which were
the main sources of carbon dioxide emissions.
The present document
17.5 In the present document, the Commission seeks to
outline the first phase of the ECCP, in the light of the priority
given to combatting climate change by the European Council in
June 2001, the further developments on the Kyoto Protocol within
the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC),
and the latest analysis of the Community's progress towards meeting
its Kyoto targets (which suggests that, if further action is not
taken, there is still likely to be gap of around 8%).
17.6 The Communication highlights a package of measures
it proposes to put forward over the next couple of years. These
are grouped in four sections (cross-cutting, energy, transport
and industry), which it says have to be viewed against the background
of other initiatives such as the promotion of electricity from
renewable energy sources, improved energy efficiency, and so on.
(a) Cross-cutting issues
17.7 These would entail:
The Commission says that this measure, which applies to large
industrial and agricultural installations, requires operators
to take measures yielding the best results for the environment
as a whole, and focuses on prevention. It suggests that better
use could be made of the Directive, and it will be asking a technical
group to provide recommendations, whilst at the same time encouraging
Member States to develop relevant national strategies for dealing
with energy requirements.
Directive on linking Project-based Mechanisms, including
Joint Implementation and Clean Development Mechanisms to the Community's
emissions trading scheme
The Commission says that this measure would be complementary to
the Framework Directive on Emissions Trading, and will specify
the conditions under which "credits" from project-based
mechanisms on greenhouse gas emissions trading can be added to
allowances. It adds that decisions concerning Joint Implementation
and Clean Development Mechanisms are still under negotiation within
the UNFCC, and that the proposal will need to take into account
the outcome, and be consistent with the Community's development
Review of the Monitoring Mechanism
The Commission is required under existing Community legislation
to assess progress at Member State and Community levels in reaching
the Kyoto targets, but it says that these requirements are both
inadequate in terms of existing measures, and not sufficient to
cover the decisions agreed in connection with Kyoto on such issues
as sinks (carbon sequestration through forestry and agricultural
activities). It will therefore be proposing the necessary amendments.
(b) Energy issues
17.8 These would involve:
The Commission says that energy efficiency measures applying to
tradeable goods must be established on a Community-wide basis
in order to prevent internal market distortions, and that it will
address this need in relation to all types of end-use equipment
sold and used on the Community market, including standard components
(where there is a significant potential for energy saving) and
domestic appliances, lighting, and building equipment. Its aim
will be to set ambitious and cost-effective energy efficiency
Directive on Energy Demand Management
The Commission suggests that completion of the internal market
for energy by developing and encouraging energy efficiency on
the demand side, especially that provided by utilities and related
service companies in the form of energy services, is an important
element in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It therefore envisages
Member States being required to set targets to promote and support
energy demand management, especially for smaller consumers, such
as households, and it would also set out a certain minimum level
of investment for energy efficiency and demand management, mainly
through business-driven activities.
Directive for the Promotion of Combined Heat and Power
The Commission's aim would be to complement and strengthen existing
measures to promote CHP, so as to double its share in Community
electricity generation by 2010. It would do this by drawing on
the steps contained in the Renewables Electricity Directive, notably
on grid access and connection costs, and the encouragement of
the relevant technologies.
Non-legislative proposals
The Commission would supplement various proposals by a couple
of non-legislative initiatives, involving increased energy-efficient
public procurement and a public awareness campaign.
(c) Transport
17.9 There would be three main measures within this heading,
as follows:
The Commission notes that road transport alone represents 84%
of all transport-related carbon dioxide emissions, but that the
fastest rate of growth in greenhouse gas emissions arises from
air transport. It therefore wants to encourage a shift from these
to cleaner means of transport, such as rail and waterways, involving
a revitalisation of the railways, the improvement of inland waterway
transport through the standardisation of technical requirement,
and the promotion of short sea shipping by improving port services
and infrastructure.
Improved infrastructure use and charging
The Commission says that congestion reduces transport efficiency
and thus increases greenhouse gas emissions, and it suggests that
this could be addressed by further integration of external transport
costs, and fair and balanced pricing, between the different modes.
It sees this being achieved through a framework directive on an
infrastructure charging system, combined with uniform fuel taxation
for commercial road transport.
Promotion of biofuels for transport
The Commission wishes to provide a Community framework to foster
the use of biofuels for transport within the Community, and has
in mind requiring Member States to set the targets needed to achieve
this, including a reduction in excise duty.
(d) Industry
17.10 The Commission's sole proposal within this area
is for a Framework Directive on Flourinated Gases (which it says
account for only around 2% of overall Community greenhouse gas
emissions, but nevertheless have a high global warming potential).
The main sources of such gases are refrigeration and air-conditioning,
and the Commission envisages measures to minimise emissions at
the design, manufacture, installation, operation and disposal
stages, together with enhanced monitoring.
The Government's view
17.11 In his Explanatory Memorandum of 13 December 2001,
the Minister of State (Commons) (Environment) at the Department
of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Mr Michael Meacher) says
that the Government shares the Commission's view that clear action
is needed at both Member State and Community level in order to
achieve the Kyoto targets, and that there will be benefits in
ensuring some European measures are in place to help deliver the
target for the Community as a whole. He adds that the UK has taken
a leading role in calling for action to tackle climate change,
and therefore welcomes this Communication as part of a positive
Community-level response. He describes the proposed scope of the
ECCP, and the list of possible common and co-ordinated policies
set out in the Communication, as "wide-ranging", and
says that the Government will need to look carefully at individual
proposals, and consider their costs and benefits, and likely impact
on the UK, bearing in mind that some of the measures which the
Commission may propose could cut across domestic action or be
more appropriately introduced nationally.
17.12 Although this Communication is in fairly general
terms and is not in itself a legislative document, it does nevertheless
deal with an important subject, and some of its suggestions, if
pursued, could prove to be controversial. We will therefore want
to look more closely at any individual proposals. In the meantime,
we are content to clear the current document, but we are drawing
it to the attention of the House in view of its potential significance.
(21092) 6914/00; see HC 23-xiv (1999-2000), paragraph 9 (12 April
2000). Back
Under the "burden sharing" subsequently agreed, some
Member States have undertaken to make a steeper cut: in the case
of the UK, by 12.5%. Back

Publication Date: September 27, 2011
About the Author
Praise For Daughter of Smoke & Bone…
* "National Book Award finalist Taylor (Lips Touch: Three Times) again weaves a masterful mix of reality and fantasy with cross-genre appeal. Exquisitely written and beautifully paced, the tale is set in ghostly, romantic Prague, where 17-year-old Karou is an art student--except when she is called "home" to do errands for the family of loving, albeit inhuman, creatures who raised her. Mysterious as Karou seems to her friends, her life is equally mysterious to her: How did she come to live with chimaera? Why does paternal Brimstone eternally require teeth--especially human ones? And why is she "plagued by the notion that she wasn't whole....a sensation akin to having forgotten something?" Taylor interlaces cleverly droll depictions of contemporary teenage life with equally believable portrayals of terrifying otherworldly beings. When black handprints begin appearing on doorways throughout the world, Karou is swept into the ancient deadly rivalry between devils and angels and gradually, painfully, acquires her longed-for self-knowledge. The book's final pages seemingly establish the triumph of true love--until a horrifying revelation sets the stage for a second book."—Publishers Weekly, starred review
* "[A]long with writing in such heightened language that even casual banter often comes off as wildly funny, the author crafts a fierce heroine with bright-blue hair, tattoos, martial skills, a growing attachment to a preternaturally hunky but not entirely sane warrior and, in episodes to come, an army of killer angels to confront. Rarely--perhaps not since the author's own Faeries of Dreamdark: Blackbringer (2007)--does a series kick off so deliciously."—Kirkus, starred review
* "Taylor crafts both her world and her romance with meticulous care, building the first on a wealth of thought-provoking details and making the second equal parts tender and antagonistic...Fans of torturously star-crossed lovers a la those in Marr's Wicked Lovely and Black's Tithe will find much to enjoy here, but those who flock to innovative, character-driven fantasy with thematic depth will be equally enthralled."—The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, starred review
"Author Taylor has created a variety of worlds, time frames, and creatures with such detail and craft that all are believable...Readers will look forward to the suggested sequel to this complex, exciting tale."—Booklist
"Wow. I wish I had written this book."—Patrick Rothfuss, author of The Wise Man's Fear
"Daughter of Smoke and Bone is that rare beast: a novel that takes the familiar and makes it appear startling and new. Taylor has embraced the mythology of angels and reworked it in an extraordinary form, so that by the end of this lyrical, haunting book, I wanted to believe in the existence of these violent, tormented beings. I can hardly wait for the next installment."—John Connolly, author of The Book of Lost Things
"Daughter of Smoke and Bone is a lush, sweeping, romantic marvel of a book. Taylor's writing is a revelation, masterfully blending an intricate fantasy world into our own, with an artist's flair for exquisite details. Funny, devastating, delightful, unforgettable. Pure storytelling perfection."—Kiersten White, author of the Paranormalcy series
"[A] breath-catching romantic fantasy about destiny, hope and the search for one's true self"—The New York Times Book Review
"Thrillingly fresh and new"—Entertainment Weekly
"An adventurous story of self-identity, "Daughter of Smoke and Bone" is written with high-stakes flair and a touch of humor...[It is] well-told and well-paced, raising intriguing questions about notions of identity, expectation, trust, betrayal and belonging."—The Los Angeles Times

This is a topic that interests me. I identify as a Seventh-Day Adventist, although I only hold loosely to some of the teachings of the church. I personally believe the Sabbath day to be Saturday, the 7th day of the week in the traditional calendar, and the day of the Jewish Sabbath. I was a bit surprised to find that Conservapedia's article on the Sabbath asserted that the "date given by Moses has been lost". (I'd correct that, but I'm a bit wary about introducing my own biases, which may not be quite what the project wants.) In either case, I figured this was a good topic for debate. What day is the Sabbath day, or does it even matter in the life of the Christian? --Blu Aardvark 09:20, 25 March 2007 (EDT)
- Genesis 2:2 "By the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done." In the biblical sense, Sabbath has much more meaning than just a day of the week. There were also 7 year sabbaths and 50 year sabbaths. I'm no expert at this, but I believe these were also referred to as the Year of Jubilee. Christians meet on Sunday (first day of the week) because that is the day they believe that Christ rose from the grave. --Ymmotrojam 15:45, 31 March 2007 (EDT)
- The sabbath day is from Friday at sundown until Saturday at sundown, local time. The Jews are quite meticulous about ensuring their law is transmitted from one generation to the next without error, and one law commands the sabbath to be remembered. As far as Christians are concerned, Paul said, (Col.2:16) "Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days" Teresita 17:12, 2 April 2007 (EDT)
The Sabbath Day depends on what calander you're using--solar or lunar. Our comprehension of what day is which is thrown off by the fact that we have an extra day every 4 years to keep the calender sensical, which might also affect the Sabbath. It seems to be more important to observe rest and the power of God every seven days than to quibble about which of the seven it is. I seriously doubt God is going to scold you for not being a historical mathmatician and damning you for observing on the wrong day.
Really the Sabbath Day is any day that the Lord has deemed as Holy. The original holy day was the day that God rested. Jews believe this to be Saturday while Christians like to think of it as Sunday. It could be either it's more likely to be Saturday since the Christian calender has been altered so many times over the centries.Dfairlyxed13
We should note that none of the calendar changes over the centuries has ever altered the weekly cycle.djconklin 8:04, 11 May 2007(CST)
I agree with the above--that the Sabbath was initially instituted as the seventh day of the week as recorded in the Old Testament, and that it was Saturday. Now whether it remains to be Saturday or has been changed to Sunday is up for debate. It is also up for debate whether the Sabbath should still be kept. First of all, I think that it is more important to keep the spirit of the law over the letter; in other words, I think that it is more important to demonstrate love to all people than to keep all the laws. If one keeps all the laws, they keep them for themselves in a sense--either demonstrating, or attesting thier righteousness. Unless ofcourse it is the laws that pertain to the gracious treatment of others such as loving thy neighbor, not commiting adultery, not stealing, nor lying, nor falsely testifying. In other words, "treating others the way that you would like them to treat you" These are all good commands to keep. However, I believe that it is impossible to attain a righteousness without love which would properly prepare one for heaven. This is attested in 1 Corinthians when the Apostle Paul basically says that one could perform all kinds of various acts of love and kindness to others that would be basically useless or worthless if not done in the spirit of love. Now concerning the fourth commandment--the Sabbath. It began as historical day of rest and as a commandment from God or Yahweh to Moses--the Leader of the Israelites around 1500 BC, to be observed by everybody. I believe that "This day was affirmed in the New Testament while Jesus was in the Earth after his crucifixion, "[the disciples] rested the Sabbath day according to the commandment" (Luke 23.56). The fact that the Sabbath is mentioned in the New Testament in the context of Jesus' death and resurrection not only affirms the Sabbath as still being efficacious for believers, but it also affirms the day as the Seventh since it says "according to the commandment", namely the fourth commandment-- "For [in] six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them [is], and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it" (Exod. 20.11. Now concerning my own thoughts, I think that it is good to keep the Sabbath for several reasons. First of all, it is good to keep it because of the commandment, so it must be good. Secondly, I think that our bodies, minds, and spirits need to have a break every week from the stresses and strains that we go through. We need time to heal and to rebuild. More later. Feel free to respond. [Petrarcah]--Petrarcah 13:48, 27 April 2007 (EDT)
My view is that Christians have leeway to do whatever they want on the Sabbath. Colossians 2:16-17 says: Do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. DanH 13:50, 27 April 2007 (EDT)
Paul isn't talking about the seventh-day Sabbath in Col. 2:16-17. The passage refers to outsiders (i.e., non-Christians) judging the believers for their eating and drinking on (en merei) the feast days, new moons and ceremonial sabbaths. For more details see http://www.666man.net/Colossians_2_16-17_By_David_Conklin/colintro.html. djconklin 8:04, 11 May 2007 (CST)
As djconklin states the reference in Col 2:16 is to ceremonial sabbaths that were celebrated according to the handwritten law of Moses as told to him by God as a symbol of future events. I'm amazed so many misquote this, having apparently not read the verse in it's context to the rest of the chapter. All through the Bible we are exhorted to keep the 7th day holy since creation. Calendar changes are another red herring; there has always been 7 days in a week since creation. I would assume that God would see that something so important would remain intact. Jesus kept the Sabnbath on the seventh day of the week. If His dying had any effect on the Moral Law wouldn't He have mentioned it? Celebrating Sunday as the day of rest because of His resurrection doesn't fit either. Baptism was given to us as a symbol of his death, burial, and resurrection. The Roman Catholic church claims the authority to change times and laws by sanctifying Sunday. It has no Biblical authority, nor from God either, to change a command spoken by God, written with His own finger and shouted from the mountaintop at Sinai.The Bible warns what will happen to those who teach as doctrine the traditions of men as well. It behooves us to obey the Word and keep the seventh day Sabbath.--InHIsImage
I personally celebrate it Friday sundown until Saturday Sundown. --Redsox70707 16:19, 22 June 2009 (EDT)
I agree with DanH. Another misused law from the old covenant is the Sabbath law. There are certain groups that insist we must keep the Sabbath to be pleasing to God. These groups teach that you are sinning if you meet on Sunday (1st day of the week) instead of Saturday (7th day). It is true that Saturday is the 7th day and under the old covenant this is the day that Israel was commanded to rest in observance of God creating everything in six days and His resting on the 7th day. We will see that the Sabbath is a shadow of Jesus; the Sabbath required that the people of Israel rest from their work in observance of the work of creation performed by God. It is teaching us to rest in the work of Christ which brings about the new creation of us. This new creation takes place when we are born again or born from above. The true picture is that the Sabbath is not about resting on a day but it is relying on the fact that we rest and have confidence in the work of Jesus for our righteousness and acceptance with our Father. Jesus is the True Sabbath; rest in all that He has accomplished for you, for this is the Sabbath that God intended for you from the beginning. The only alternative to resting in Christ and His work is death; He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life; the only access we have to God.
Heb 4:1 Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us fear lest any of you should seem to have failed to reach it. Heb 4:2 For good news came to us just as to them, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united by faith with those who listened. Heb 4:3 For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has said, "As I swore in my wrath, 'They shall not enter my rest,'" although his works were finished from the foundation of the world. Heb 4:4 For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day in this way: "And God rested on the seventh day from all his works." Heb 4:5 And again in this passage he said, "They shall not enter my rest." Heb 4:6 Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news failed to enter because of disobedience, Heb 4:7 again he appoints a certain day, "Today," saying through David so long afterward, in the words already quoted, "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts." Heb 4:8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken of another day later on. Heb 4:9 So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, Heb 4:10 for whoever has entered God's rest has also rested from his works as God did from his. Heb 4:11 Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience. ESV see realityischrist.webstarts.com . Kennywillb

Dear Girlfriend,
The reason for writing this letter is upcoming mass phenomenon called Valentine's Day and I can imagine you expecting big surprise or beautiful gift from your boyfriend. If you get what you wanted or never wanted or even if he attempts to do something as a part of that day, be very much thankful. If not, do something special for him yourself, that's all. Let me warn about the gifts. If its a dress it will not to fit you or be of a color which you don't like. Get it exchanged asap.
I saw him grow up, trying hard and craving to have that 'Me time'(I don't know whats is the hype with this, but some boys are very particular about it). He had reservations about hanging out with friends and not letting us into his room. His friend circle and his interests grew to clinch the little part of the day he would spend with us. Our family was little worried initially, but we gradually understood his need for privacy and independence. He was missed by our family at dinner table and would skip family get togethers sighting reasons like projects, seminars, college fests etc. Sometimes, he would make up for those lost times with occasional surprises, which had nothing to do with our birthdays or anniversaries. The timing of the surprises were as random as his mood. Mostly it would be a pizza order or a take away and occasional gifts which were mostly gadgets, the reason I got more gadgets than teddy bears.
Let me I assure you, he is not the kind of typical boy one sees on romantic movies, any similarities to that character are completely coincidental and even if it is is real it may not last long. Expectations of him to be like one of them may bring disappoint. My mother and me had to remind him of upcoming birthdays in the family, so that he could wish them and buy a gift before the midnight of their birthday. So, you should get used to be his backup to remind him of your and your families birthdays and anniversaries and do the needful.
The only times I spent with him after we grew up was during his dinner, as the rest of us would be done with it and I had to serve food to him. But, we will always cherish those family outings and trip with him in our school days and the games we played as kids. The last trip was over 5 years back and we try to compensate with a family dinner outside if time permits during his visit these day. Now, you got the reason to value the time you get to spend together over a cup of coffee, dinner, movie apart from the calls he makes between his busy work just because he cares for you. You should be happy that he is sharing his life, joy and his precious 'Me' time with you, and the same applies to him.
Coming to the Valentines day, it is just another day, or rather much hyped for commercial purpose. One doesn't need a special day to show how much one loves him/her. If one forgets to wish and gift ones mother of mother's day, will it make them a bad child? No! The same applies to valentines day. Simple. Also, the gifts and efforts one puts in on valentines day should not measure how much one loves. I assure you it is actually the time one gives you which reflect their love more than anything else. Cherish every moment wholeheartedly, than wait for that one day of the year to express the so called unconditional love.
His sister.
PS: This is crap. Well, I don't know what it is like to be a girlfriend and don't take my words seriously. A gift for any reason is a must.
PPS: To demanding boyfriends, gift her so much that she never says No;)

PHILADELPHIA >> When the Philadelphia Flower Show opens March 5, visitors will be dazzled not only by acres of outstanding landscapes, but by a number of fine art displays featuring beautiful and fascinating plants.
One group, the Philadelphia Society of Botanical Illustrators, is gearing up for this year's show as members assemble paintings they have created that examine and highlight the intricate details of flowers.
This society is a local branch of the national organization and covers the Pennsylvania counties of Chester, Delaware, Berks, Montgomery and Philadelphia as well as the states of Delaware and New Jersey.
The 80 or so members engage in a unique and highly specialized form of art that involves painting flowers and plants with high accuracy on a white background while artistically highlighting the unique and beautiful features.
"Everything we do is botanically accurate. … The art goes back thousands of years to help people identify which plants were poisonous and which were not," Flower Show Producer Carol Ashton-Hergenhan said.
Still, there is plenty of room for human creativity, as the artists are free to manipulate the positions and lighting of their subjects — just as long as the plants remain true to their species' qualities.
"We tend to paint from life. We can see stereo-specifically. We can eliminate distractions and discern unique characteristics of the plant," Ashton-Hergenhan continued.
Like many high-quality art displays, the artists submit their work ahead of show time and it is juried by outside judges for inclusion in the show.
When it is time to hang the display at the Pennsylvania Convention Center just before the opening, the paintings are placed in a setting that is landscaped with live flowers and a natural environment by the members.
The artists are guided in their selections of subjects by the theme of the Philadelphia Flower Show. Last year it was the movies, and this year it is the 100th anniversary of the nation's national parks.
"We get the theme the year before and give lots of time to the artists," Ashton-Hergenhan said.
Last year, they had some interesting subjects to work with that included depicting plant themes from such movies as "Pretty in Pink," "Hollywood and Vine," "Fried Green Tomatoes," "The Grapes of Wrath" and "Cactus Flower."
This year, they have the opportunity to explore the flowers, plants, vegetables, trees and even dead stems in parks from throughout the nation.
Society Secretary Marilyn Greist of Penn has prepared a painting for entry into this year's show. It is a vivid portrayal of Asteraceae Helianthus annuus — or sunflowers.
Greist, 70, has come to botanical illustrating late in life. In fact, she said, she has only been in the society for a few years, even though as a very young child she loved art.
Still she has a highly equipped and well-lighted studio off her bedroom that includes paints, paper, brushes and an ample surface for his work.
She said she is consumed by her passion for painting flowers.
Sometimes, she said, she can go for up to eight hours working on a piece until her hands hurt.
The work, although it can be acrylics, colored pencil, graphite or egg tempera, is frequently done with water color.
Greist studies her subjects carefully and in great detail and mixes her own colors for accuracy. As she paints, the strokes are almost transparent, as creating even one flower involves layers and layers of lightly applied medium.
Quality is achieved by capturing even the slightest highlights or shadows.
Greist admits that there are many standards and regulations that apply to botanical illustration, but she said her personality fits well with that.
"I'd rather bake than cook, because baking is precise," she said, adding that in contrast for some people, a free-wheeling approach to art (or cooking) is their cup of tea.
Greist's neighbor, Membership Chairman Susan Jenkins, 63, agreed with Greist that those who engage in botanical illustration see it as a passion, even to the extent that they never seem to know when their picture is done.
"Sometime you have to put it up and keep walking by it [to know it's what you want]," she said.
Jenkins said the judges who look at the paintings not only see the picture itself, but also consider the matting, the suitability of the kind of paper to the subject and the framing.
"They like metallic [or metallic-looking on wood] frames," she said.
Preparing for the Philadelphia Flower Show is not the only thing the members do, although it's very important.
Jenkins, who has not submitted work for this year's flower show but has in the past, said she makes cards and prints, takes her work to craft shows and puts it online. Members also have their own shows.
Overall, members of the Philadelphia Society of Botanical Illustrators meet throughout the region for demonstrations, workshops and shows, both individually and as a group. There is one major business meeting a year, but the members meet often at socials, and many times those socials include speakers.

Lost in the foodie hubbub over cupcake this and pan dulce that is the doughnut: the unassuming, fat-producing pastry of 3 a.m. fryings and black coffee, of Cambodian families misspelling the word to save a few bucks on the marquee and working-class stiffs seeking a meal of sugar to fuel the coming day. Orange County still has quite a few places whose most artisan pastry is the doughnut with sprinkles, though not as many as before. Few ever receive the praise they deserve, mostly because if you've eaten one dozen, you've eaten them all.
But standing as a calorie-busting exception is Oh Those Donuts, a Costa Mesa institution that has seen the rise, flourishing and fall of Triangle Square just up Newport Boulevard while never ceasing to bake its offerings 24 hours a day. Its selection is just like that at any other doughnut shop—bulging jelly versions with a crimson indentation to mark where the bakers stuffed sweet goo; plain doughnuts, thick and hearty, optimal for a dunk in milk; glazed pseudo-wheels that shine brighter than a just-polished fender. The maple bars work fine, while the bear claws look little like an ursine paw but nevertheless please you the same way they did when you were 10 and Dad allowed you to pick the final choice for the baker's dozen. Half of Costa Mesa seems to worship the glazed twists, which look like a DNA strand come to life, but I've always been a cinnamon-roll guy, and the swirling, slowly rising rendition here is a must-eat: chewy inside, completely caked on the outside with a glaze that cracks when you bite into it. Or—better yet—unspool the roll to reveal the cinnamon frosting inside. If you want it topped with even more frosting, the shop's staff will oblige—and it's piping-fresh.
Oh Those Donuts has evolved with the times. Fat burritos share the menu with towering sandwiches, which you can custom-order by filling out a form. Cooks must use some of the oil they use to fry the doughnuts on the onion rings and French fries, so gloriously greasy are they. It even offers free WiFi, a fact usually lost on the drunks from the many bars surrounding the place who stumble in around 3 a.m., looking for anything to soak up one too many—an annoyance, to be sure, but something also strangely comforting. And that drive-through window? Genius.
Oh Those Donuts, 1734 Newport Blvd., Costa Mesa, (949) 646-4046.

When we think of our phones in a traditional sense we think of the high tech, high resolution, fast processor lean mean machines that they have become. They're great for keeping our lives organized and keeping us in touch with those around us. However, there are other functions that I feel are worth mentioning that might not be in the typical description for our phones.
This is just a silly list of alternative things that our phones can do for us in our everyday lives; I wanted to write a more light-hearted conversation piece for this round.
They make great companions
While dogs and cats make great companions as well, there are certain things you just can't do with a pet that you can do with a phone. You can't always take them into public places like restaurants and stores. You can't change the way they look with a new fur and they don't always send and retrieve messages as well as you might like for them to. When you get mad at your pet, you can't throw them across the room at the wall, and you can't yell at them without feeling bad. Phones make the best companions because you can passive aggressively take out whatever frustrations you have on it and it will still love you just the same.
Phones can make you look busy, even when you're not
I'm pretty sure we've all used our phones as scapegoats at least once in our lives. That one annoying person you actively go out of your way to avoid somehow managed to finagle their way into a conversation with you again, and you have no other way of escaping it other than feeling the phantom vibrations of a cell phone that isn't really ringing. "Sorry," you tell them. "My mother's second cousin's cat is getting married in a half hour and I really must be going." It will look totally legit because you had a real cell phone in your hands, and anybody who questions the legitimacy of the story obviously doesn't know the importance of marriage in feline culture.
Phones keep us alert
And I don't mean with alarms and notifications. Subconsciously, those of us with cell phones have developed a keen sixth sense that can detect whether our phone is near us or not. If I leave home without my phone, you can bet within 5 minutes I will gasp and say, "Oh no, my phone!" I reach for my phone for no reason at all, just to physically make sure that it's still there in my pocket or in my purse. It's almost like having an extra child around. Emily? Check. Sasha? Check. Joshua? Check. Siri?
"Yes Anna, what can I do for you?"
There's a whole lot of things that our phones can do for us that don't include texting and making phone calls. I take my phone with me everywhere, I use it as an excuse to get out of situations I don't want to be in, and I've developed a sixth sense for it. What sort of odd uses have you been able to come up with that make your phone useful in non-traditional ways? Let me know in the comments!

A twisting nexus of living shadows takes form between the sorcerer's hands. As she completes the spell, she casts the umbral tangle upward, where it expands into a column of ebon darkness large enough to blot out the sun for a town, or village.
Within the Impenetrable Veil of Night, torches, lanterns, and even anima banners cast light out only to half their usual range, while speech and noises echo in strange, unnatural ways, granting a -3 penalty to awareness Even characters with supernatural senses capable of seeing in mundane darkness still suffer the penalty on all Awareness or Perception-based rolls made within the veil.

Prior to entering any information into a sample expense report, it is necessary to ensure systems are in place to gather the appropriate data, notes the Houston Chronicle. Users must note the company policy for filling out expense reports and reference the employee handbook when necessary. Including any receipts associated with expenses serves as proof of official record. You must deduct any money provided in advance from the expense report. The accounts payable department then handles the processing and issuing of checks. Some common expenses requiring reimbursement include airline tickets, hotels and cab fare. In some instances, it is important to obtain supervisor approval before submitting an eligible expense.Learn more about Financial Calculations

SIREN call for energy conservation
The Southern Indiana Renewable Energy Network (SIREN) is a local group dedicated to increasing the amount of renewable energy used in the area. This is an especially important goal around here, since almost all of our power is currently produced by coal.
Maggie and I have gone to one or two meetings and found them very interesting. Their focus appears to be primarily solar energy, with several group members getting together to buy solar panels in bulk. Unfortunately, even then solar panels are expensive since Indiana doesn't have any solar incentives. As near as we've been able to figure, our break-even period would be over 30 years, which makes it hard to justify.
Recently, however, SIREN has begun advertising the SIREN Energy Showdown. The goal of the contest is to get people to reduce the amount of electricity they use in 2010 as compared to 2009. Although you have to meet certain requirements to win prizes (owning a house in Monroe county, etc), anyone can sign up to play for fun. If you do qualify, you can sign up to win some cool prizes, including a 1kW solar system as the grand prize.
We've already signed up and are looking forward to tracking our electricity more carefully. I've started checking our daily usage instead of just our monthly usage and I'm using my Kill-o-Watt to figure out what our big energy hogs are. I don't expect that we'll win anything (we've already done most of the easy stuff), but I think we could still reduce our usage by 10%. Reducing our electrical usage by 10% could save us more than $60 a year. According to my back-of-the-envelope calculations, it would also reduce our CO2 production by over half a ton!
Even if you can't compete, I encourage you to sign up and see how much you can reduce your usage. Let me know if you do sign up and especially if you have any good energy-saving tips!

If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: I came up with this cheese and chocolate sandwich as a fat kid spending a summer in Belgium and trying to get all things Belgian in my belly. I know it sounds really odd, but the sweetness of the chocolate and the saltiness of the cheese create such a nice, smooth combination. It delights every time. —MySocialChef
Serves: 2-3
French Baguet
pound Sliced Swiss Cheese
piece Good quality Milk Chocolate Bar
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Cut a sandwich-length piece of baguette and slice it open like you would to make a hero. Apply a thin layer of butter inside and put a few slices of Swiss cheese on both sides of the bread. Leaving it open, place the sandwich in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and gooey. Remove it from the oven and add a couple pieces of milk chocolate, then close the sandwich and let it rest for a minute

Reviewer Comments:
Terrific property, and very well appointed. Everything you needed was provided, and what was most delightful was how well organized. Whenever you needed something, whether a spare towel, TP, or a kitchen gadget, it was just where you would expect to find it. Eliminating treasure hunts made the stay so much more relaxing! Parents with young children might make a quick pass through removing the fragile shell decorations to higher locations before the rugrats get them.
This villa exceeded all of our expectations! We've vacationed at the Four Seasons Hualalai for the past 8 years but have not rented a villa until now. The Four Seasons resort is fabulous but for our growing family, we needed more space. The villa is the best of both worlds -- full access to the resort plus a 3 bedroom villa with a full kitchen. The owners of the property did an exceptional job of decorating and stocking the villa to match the 5 star experience that we're used to at the resort.
The rental experience was also outstanding and very professional. There's an onsite property manager that can handle requests. Overall, we had a wonderful vacation and are planning to return next year.
We've stayed at the Hualalai Four Seasons on many occasions over the years, but this was the first time that we stayed in a home. We are now HOOKED! This home was absolutely perfect for our family of six. Our four kids had plenty of space, the decor was beautiful, and the location was ideal. The owners provided EVERY little thing you could possibly want or need to make their place feel like our own home. One of the highlights of our stay for the kids (and us, I'll admit!) were the golf cart rides into the resort. It was a quick, fun, easy trip every morning to get to the amazing resort that we all love. Additionally, all of the furnishings and amenities are first-class. We loved it so much that we booked the same ten days for next Spring the day that we returned home. We are accustomed to five-star vacations and accommodations, and this home exceeded ALL of our expectations!!! We can't wait to return next year!!!
We were looking for the perfect spot to vacation with with my husband, 4 year old twins and the grand parents and we found it! The house was exquisite, well kept and luxurious! There was far more room than we needed considering we spent most of our time at the pool, restaurants or playing golf. The resort is obviously a Four Seasons and lives up to all they are known for. The golfers in our group said the course was a perfect "resort course" and we LOVED the pools! We highly recommend the house and resort, you will not be disappointed!
My family of six stayed at this villa for a week in February. It is beautifully decorated, perfectly located, and plenty big for my four active kids. The less than five minute golf cart ride to the resort was something my kids looked forward to everyday. We hope to stay here again and again.
