Expect fun and good fortune on leap day in Vegas
A leap day only comes around once every four years. Because of that, it's considered to be a "lucky" period of time. Although there's no guarantee you'll hit a jackpot in the casinos, just being in Vegas on Feb. 29 already makes you fortunate!
Of course, there are plenty of ways to get lucky in Sin City that don't involve gambling. If you're marriage-minded, leap day is an excellent occasion to tie the knot at one of the quickie wedding chapels.
"It is a special day. It also should be pretty easy for the grooms to remember their wedding date," joked Brian Mills, the general manager and a performer at the Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel. He expects at least 40 ceremonies will be held there during February's bonus 24 hours. "Any time there are special number days like this – or like 10-10-10, 11-11-11 and 12-12-12 – they're always very popular."
In honor of this year's 366th day, the Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel is offering several specially discounted packages. There's the Leap Day Wedding Package, which includes a two-rose bouquet, a boutonniere, a candlelight ceremony, courtesy limousine service to and from the chapel, the wedding coordinator, the music, the chapel fee and photography (24 poses/proofs). For something quirkier, couples can leap into their new lives together with the '50s-style Rockabilly Wedding Package held in the Doo Wop Diner with the King. It features almost everything mentioned above, in addition to six free prints and an Elvis impersonator who will sing two songs. Another well-liked option is the Pink Caddy Wedding Package, where the twosome is actually driven down the aisle in the back of a '64 pink Cadillac convertible.
"Our chapel is where people come to do out-of-the-ordinary weddings. We always have really fun couples who just want to do something different," said Mills. "Coming to Vegas for a fun themed wedding on a very unique day that only rolls around once every four years is really the perfect marriage of the two – no pun intended."
Soon-to-be newlyweds can get more information by clicking the chapel's link on VEGAS.com's Weddings page. According to Mills, there are still openings available for Feb. 29, but he advises that you book as soon as possible.
If you're not getting hitched, there are other fun ways to celebrate leap day in Las Vegas. Head over to Rhumbar in The Mirage. The stylish cocktail lounge reminiscent of a cool Caribbean beach bar is hosting a patio party from 3 – 7 p.m. Along with leap year-inspired drink specials, guests can mingle, dance (the turntables will be manned by DJ Larry Lynx) or just behold the stunning view of the Strip.
Jerry's Nugget in downtown Las Vegas has been running its "Cash Winning Days" promotion in February – and the month will conclude with a leap year cash giveaway. If you sign up for The MoreClub players card and earn at least 229 base points playing slot, video poker and video keno machines from 4 a.m. – 11:55 p.m. on Feb. 29, you can swipe it and win up to $229. Plus, while you're in the casino, take advantage of your last chance to indulge in the English Cut Prime Rib Special, which is being offered at Jerry's Famous Coffee Shop. It's only $9.85 (normally $11.89) through Feb. 29. The mouthwatering meal comes with choices of soup or salad, rice or potato, and garlic toast or French bread. Sides of horseradish and au jus are also served with the juicy slab of meat.
There are some great perks for visitors who are "leaplings" – i.e., born on leap day – as well. For instance, Palace Station, which is located on Sahara Avenue just a few blocks west of the Strip, is hosting a special birthday party on Feb. 29 that will include a big cake and a champagne toast. Guests will also have the opportunity to test their leap year trivia skills and win special prizes. The fun begins at 6:30 p.m. in the resort's Cabo Mexican Restaurant.
What's more, Madame Tussauds Las Vegas in The Venetian is boasting a wonderful freebie for leap year babies. Just show your ID (a driver's license or anything that displays your birthday) at the box office on Feb. 29 to receive a complimentary general admission ticket. You'll have an amusing time getting close to and taking photographs with the attraction's more than 200 iconic wax figures from film, TV, music, sports and politics.
There's another interactive attraction on the Strip recognizing this unique holiday. On Feb. 29, CSI: The Experience at MGM Grand will give free admission to anyone with a leap year birthday, as well as half off the general admission price to Las Vegas locals. If you love the various "CSI" TV series and have always wanted to solve a murder, this is your lucky break. CSI: The Experience involves three true-to-life cases to be solved in a 12,000-square-foot facility that houses two state-of-the-art crime labs. You can even attempt DNA and fingerprint analysis here.
Since leap day so seldom comes around, make this one count and try something new while you're visiting Las Vegas. And if you're not in the Entertainment Capital of the World, then celebrate by planning a trip in the near future. You'll always find great promotions for air and hotel packages on VEGAS.com's Deals page.

This is my first summer in New Orleans in a long time, and the steamy, stereotypical Long Hot Summer references catch in my daydreams without effort, reminding me of love and sensuality and heartbreak.
Last week I referenced the summer of 1967, thinking about the irony of what I thought was a loveless marriage. However, this week, in a Dear-Abby sort of way, I'm thinking of this Summer of Love, the hot summer of 2011, as I watch a couple-friend, separated a year now, still struggling and still confused.
For months I encouraged her to move on. He humiliated her, implied that she should wait for him through his soul-searching. But I've softened on this point over time, watching my girlfriend suffer, watching the pain in her eyes as she tries to follow everyone else's advice when, obviously, all she wants is to have him back.
He was just a jerk and he screwed up, I told my sister about my friend's relationship. That's all there is to it.
"Most men are jerks and screw up," she replied.
I've been there, dropped by my true love, no explanation, no returned phone calls, no letters, just silence for months. It was heartbreak the likes of which I've only felt in losing my mother. I didn't recognize myself anymore, and I moved through life in a fog, through a wild affair with an aging Big Sur hippie, whose California redwood cabin smelled of marijuana and cheerios, and whose life was as far from mine as possible.
I avoided Louisiana and my family, and I gave notice at my job. I wove daisy chains and played guitar with a stranger's children. I wandered in the Big Sur Wilderness, alone on winding trails through The Lord of the Rings, a bit disappointed each time I found my way back.
I convinced myself completely that he never would return, and yet even today, after fourteen years of marriage, I can't think back on that year without hunched shoulders and a caved chest, recalling a familiar, regrettable, debilitating ache.
The one time I joined friends for dinner, I sat the eleventh person at the table for twelve, and I ruined the party, a self-absorbed, self-imposed martyr-to-love. On sleepless nights I walked the twenty blocks from my Carmel-by-the-Sea cottage to the beach just to stare at something bigger than my problems. I got a cat.
I believe it's possible to die or slip into madness from a broken heart. When every day is a struggle, just existing takes effort. The physical body mimics our emotions. We stop caring about work, friends and family, about things that used to mean everything. A sunset or a table-for-two are painful reminders. Well-meaning friends inadvertently twist the knife.
He's too old for you.
What could you possibly have in common?
He lives in Louisiana; this is your home now.
And my favorite: You're still young; you'll find someone else. ….
(Conversely, I recall a conversation with my granny who, after I split with my previous boyfriend, begged me to take him back: "You're twenty-five!" she cried. "Who's going to want you now?")
When my true love returned to me late one summer afternoon, I sought neither an apology nor an explanation. In an instant, I started living again.
Recently at a dinner party I asked for stories from the broken-hearted. To my surprise, only two of us in ten knew the experience first-hand. However, few admitted that they knew true love either.
I was shocked when one friend, married forty years, asked,
"How can my wife and I have a relationship like yours?"
He explained that he felt disconnected from her, without anything in common, without romance, even without friendship.
I thought for a while, knowing the futility of flowers or chocolate from this man (…and maybe they are frivolous, but hey, a little Sucre never hurts). I also debated sharing our problems, bursting his illusion about my marriage, happy but certainly not perfect. I remembered a cousin who said, rather unromantically on the day before her wedding to her now ex-husband,
"I'm realistic, Wendy. Marriage is hard work."
Finally, I shared a story. Just this morning, I told him, George kissed my elbow as I left the bed. It was nothing, really, but as he rolled over, his breathing heavy in a half-sleep, I felt loved.
My friend thought for a moment and then shook his head.
"I don't see how kissing her elbow could make a difference. And besides, I could never do that!"

Offsite links:
The following report was submitted by Ken Lee.
Half of the 20 players in the field were new to the game.
Having played it on five or six occassions, I was one of the
more "experienced" players and ended up explaining
the rules at the introductory session. Thanks to the help of
other experienced players I think I managed to give a pretty
good overview in about 45 minutes.
Jim Vroom was the gamemaster and he did a good job of organizing
things especially since he and most of the players had very little
experience with the game. Between myself and Jim, I think we
were able to correctly interpret the numerous questions relating
to card effects. Three that I am not sure of:
1) Can a moving army unit use a "Forced March" card
to avoid interception? (We assumed yes) 2) Can an Insurrection
Corp move outside its home country if it can be intercepted and
thus forced to attack? (I assumed yes) 3) Manoever Sur Les Arrieres
- Can the army being overrun "Intercept" into its own
area? (I assumed yes, my opponent assumed no - I agreed to play
that it
could not.)
Play throughout the tourney was the 1813 scenario which I
believe almost no one, including myself, had played prior to
the tourney. As such, there was a great deal of uncertainty relating
to play balance. It was decided that the Coalition would win
if they could manage a Decisive or Marginal victory while the
French would win in all other circumstances. Sides would be decided
by bidding the number of cards one would give up from their initial
hand in order to get the side of their choice.
Based upon the rulebook statement that the French would be
fortunate to win the 1813 scenario, the assumption going in was
that the Coalition would have the advantage. As such, I believe
that most players bid for the coalition in the first round. As
it worked out, the scenario turned out to be very well balanced.
By the third round I was actually willing to bid to get the French.
In general, I believe the French are at a disadvantage in the
Campaign phase since they are vastly outnumbered by the Coalition
and have no ability to rebuild their forces since they have but
a single unit (Grouchy) left in their reserve. However, in my
opinion, the Coalition's advantage in the Campaign phase is made
up by the French side's advantage in the Diplomatic Phase since
they are the only side that can realistically benefit from the
play of diplomatic cards (Napoleon I, Tallyrand). This reasoning
proved its worth to me in the Finals when I got the French and
was able to play "Napoleon I" twice in the 1815 Diplomatic
Phase (thanks to a Napoleonica card). The result was that during
the crucial 1815 turn, I was able to remove both the Austrians
and the Russians from the game. (Even with this I almost ended
up losing) In all, I played four times - winning twice with the
Coalition and twice with the French. I believe my experience
was representative.
Overall I found the 1813 scenario to be extremely interesting
and enjoyable. Both sides have the opportunity to adopt a number
of tactics and strategies. For example, the French can try for
a knock out blow on turn 1; adopt a forward defensive position;
or fall back to France to defend on their home soil. The Coalition
can attempt to wear down the French army via combat;try for a
lightning strike at Paris; or attempt to attrite the French army
by taking away its minor ally corps. They also have the option
of attacking with a number of armies from a number of directions.
Based upon my four playings I did not see any "sure fire"
strategies. However, I do have a few tips for the Coalition and
the French:
1) Let the French go first.
2) Use the first turn to try to maneuver the French out of
Prussia and Spain and thus free their forces to invade France.
3) Pay attention to the minor countries that supply corps
to the French and to the British and attempt to conquer them
if possible.
4) Remember the use of sea movement; that it can be used by
non-British units; and that Paris is in a coastal space.
1) Never, never, never leave Paris ungarrisoned. (I was able
to steal a victory in the semi-finals by sneaking a single Austrian
unit into Paris while paralyzing the French with "Indecision"
and "Winter Quarters".)
2) Preserve as many forces as possible - you will need them
in 1815.
3) If you are going to lose a unit due to the loss of its
minor, utilize it in a suicide attack. At the very least you
will force the use of a card to reflip.
As far as the tournament is concerned a total of eight players
continued into the second round. I was fortunate to have some
excellent luck and ended up winning come Sunday morning. All
in all a very nice time and a great chance to test the game system
out under fire. I am happy to report that it passed the test
with flying colors.
I hope to see you all in Lancaster next summer when I defend
my title!
This event needs a GM in 2005.

By Steve Edwards
Even if you never played football, you've probably heard the term Hell Week. This is generally the first official week of football practice, which takes place before the start of school so the coaches can put the hammer down and not have to worry about whether or not the players can walk to class when they're done. It's essentially designed to condense preseason conditioning into one week-long period. Beachbody's latest workout program, INSANITY: THE ASYLUM™, follows this example. Except instead of Hell Week, you're in for Hell Month, which promises to have you ready for a season of pretty much anything.
"This is not INSANITY®," says Shaun while pushing the team through THE ASYLUM's Vertical Plyo. He uses a tone that suggests INSANITY is some form of lightweight aerobic work rather than the most intense cardio program burned to DVD thus far. And, true enough, THE ASYLUM isn't INSANITY; it's a sequel to that program, and it's designed to take things to the next level. But THE ASYLUM actually isn't harder so much as it's different. So let's take a deeper look at THE ASYLUM so you can decide whether it's the right program for you.
What if you're not an athlete?
Beachbody® is promoting INSANITY: THE ASYLUM as sports conditioning, which the guide defines as "speed, coordination, balance, agility, and power." And while these performance traits will certainly enhance your contribution to the company basketball team, they'll also help you improve in other aspects of your life. When you move better, life becomes easier. Sports are just games that highlight human function, so nonspecific athletic training is simply exercise that helps you perform various life tasks more effectively.
And if you are an athlete?
If you're an athlete, or even were just an active child, you're going to feel a bit like a kid in a candy store doing this program. For someone like me, who played a lot of different sports growing up, it brings back memories galore, often involving sports I'd forgotten I'd ever done. The entire program feels a bit like playing, or, as Shaun says, as if you're part of Team ASYLUM and all practicing together for the big game.
On one of my blog reviews of INSANITY: THE ASYLUM, I was asked the difference between sports training and sports conditioning. The simple answer is that sports training is systematic, and sports conditioning is getting in shape for your season as quickly as possible. Back on the Hell Month theme, THE ASYLUM is designed to whip you into shape fast, so it pulls from many different training systems, meshing them together to form what seems almost like a mad scientist's version of cross-training. "Frankentraining," if you will.
I'll back up and define the so-called Frankentraining a bit further. I often explain to customers, when comparing P90X® and INSANITY, that the X is like training for a season of INSANITY. The X is a longer, more systematic training approach that can be tailored a number of different ways to target strengths, weaknesses, and goals. INSANITY comes at you like a challenge and never lets up—more like a sports season.
THE ASYLUM is for when the season is about to start and you have to get ready as fast as possible—when there's no time to systematically tear you down and build you back up. It has to happen now, so you want to target strength, speed, coordination, flexibility, and stamina all at once. You heard the coach: It's Hell Month. There's no time to mess around. Let's get busy!
So what do you get?
Seven workouts, only six of which are actually part of the official program, though. However, as INSANITY grads know, the Athletic Performance Assessment (or Fit Test) isn't exactly a day off. Here's a quick breakdown of the programs that are included in INSANITY: THE ASYLUM.
"ASYLUM Strength will get more use than any anything in my Beachbody arsenal. For someone like me who does a lot of mountain sports—or, really, any weekend warrior whose sport provides a lot of cardiovascular fitness—it's a perfect complement."
Getting chiseled
As the Men's Wearhouse® guy says, "You're going to like the way you look®." A lot of people have already noticed that Shaun looks more ripped than he did during INSANITY. The thing about sports training is that body composition changes happen naturally. You're not bodybuilding, per se; you're just making your body more athletic. And the human body, in order to function well, tends to add muscle to places that look natural, balanced, and attractive. There's a reason why the most popular ancient statues are of athletes.

Contributors: S Tyler Stafford Rob Jackson, Kyle Baddeley-Read, Jon Robbins, Dave Huxley, Nick Soucek.
A little under a year ago the first volume of Rhizome came out and I wasn't all that enamoured with it (here's the review).
It simply didn't feel like my thing too much. Ho hum, different strokes for different folks etc etc. One big issue for me was the whole idea of an edgy sci-fi mini anthology feeling a lot like a comic book full of 2000AD Future Shocks, and by now I don't have to point out how I generally dislike those even when there's only one in an issue of 2000AD, so a whole issue of them… hmm.
And hmm is pretty much how I feel about this one. Sure, the strips here are ok. But ok is about it. There's certainly a variety of art styles and stories here, but few of them did enough to make me all that interested, indeed it was more a case of bemusement most of the way through. I'll get to the one exception in a moment.
S Tyler Stafford's 'Leera' is a time travel thing where the Barbarella-ish heroine finds herself transported 4 million years into the future, which scores points for the vast vistas of artwork but loses them as Stafford seems to imagine 4 million years hence would look something like every other futuristic thing we've seen, all arabian minarets meets post apocalyptic wilderness. Essentially MC-1 Arabian style and The Cursed Earth. Add to that a clunky pacing and there's that hmmm.
Kyle Baddeley Read comes up with a couple of strips here, 'Dr Ickbik' and 'A New World' and whilst the the former is nicely silly it's very slight silly whereas the latter does a great deal better, an 8-page with a feel of a classic Future Shock that's obvious enough but fun enough. Dave Huxley's 'The Company' comes across as a real throwback to various Underground comix, complete with muddy lines and grey backgrounds and a routine bit of alt-sci-fi thrown in as a story alongside a bit of gratuitous sex. Hmm again I'm afraid. Ending the issue is Nick Soucek with a tale of futuristic ecologists doing a little time travel surveying. Again, just not enough there to make me any more interested than hmm, Soucek's simplistic artwork here in just four pages just not connecting, not in the way it did in the longer 'A Working City'.
I'm sorry, but that's how it is with Rhizome. There's just not enough to make me go whoah… oh, except for the continuation of Rob Jackson's 'Corporation Pop', where he builds on the body swap, identity confusion stuff he established in part one and gets to go a little off reservation with it, putting loads of different ideas into this, running with the idea of 'Dan Smith' meeting the other 'Dan Smith' and deciding that something, maybe everything is very, very wrong with the world. How come he can see that this new Dan Smith is an exact doppelganger but noone else seems to get that? Cue an episode of barely restrained comedy from Jackson, really making the most of having 13-pages to play with here, introducing so much, and giving us a potential solution right at the end as well. Only potential though. I certainly wouldn't expect to second guess Jackson here….
And some of Jackson's familiar comedic moments….
Now the rest of the issue….

Four months ago, an Iranian-born medical researcher was gunned down in her car just a few steps from her family's home in Texas. The murder remains unsolved and the motive is still a mystery.
Hoping to bring the investigation to a successful conclusion, the Crime Stoppers chapter of Houston announced the largest cash reward for any case in the organization's history, offering $200,000 for "information that leads to an arrest or the filing of felony charges" in the alleged murder of Gelareh Bagherzadeh, according to a statement released Tuesday.
"The Houston Police Department is still actively and aggressively pursuing this investigation," said JC Padilla of the department's homicide division. "We hope that this significant amount will help us get the general public's support."
The 30-year-old Bagherzadeh, who also volunteered her time as a human-rights activist, died on Jan. 15.
According to an Associated Press report published five days later, "The fatal shooting remains surrounded by mystery in part because nothing was taken from the vehicle, though authorities haven't ruled out the possibility it could have been a botched robbery. They also haven't found any evidence suggesting she was targeted for her nationality or activism."
Anyone with information is encouraged to call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-8477 or submit a tip online at www.crimestoppers.org. Tips can also be sent in a text message by sending TIP610 plus the information to to CRIMES (274637).

The future is female! Hot off the fall 2017 runway the power suit trend is quickly emerging this season. In a time of political unrest designers are strongly vocalizing their support for female power through design. Taking a cue from Melanie Griffith's character in "Working Girl" the power suit is feminine and fun. Brock Collection shows us romantic red and white gingham, while Altuzarra's take on the power suit comes in bold stripes with fur-lined collars. Have fun, be bold, and remember the future is female.

launches a new master in digital communication for
fashion 2.0 »
If you're coming to Florence, why not learn Italian? Not only will your linguistic charm skyrocket, but you'll be able to dive head first into Italian culture and society.
Fashion SchoolsThe Milan of Tuscany! Quickly becoming a fashion capital on the world map, Florence has wonderful schools for studying fashion business, marketing and design!
Cooking SchoolsCuisine in Italy is equal to art. To get a real grasp of Italian culture, you must understand the Italian style of preparing and serving food and drinks. The schools we'll introduce you to are the best places to learn.
Italian Language Schools
Can you hardly distinguish 'che bella' (how beautiful!) from 'che palle' (what a pain in the a**!)? Do you somehow end up with a 'birra alla spina' (draft beer) when you want a 'birra in bottiglia' (bottled beer)? And what is the difference between 'caffé macchiato', 'caffé corretto' and 'cappuccino'?! Still fumbling through introducing yourself to a cute Italian? ...You really need Italian lessons!
Teaching English (TEFL)For native English speakers, one of the easiest ways to find work in Italy is to teach the language. And one of the best ways to make sure your teaching resume gets noticed is to be TEFL (teaching English as a foreign language) certified.
Fine Arts & RestorationFlorence is surely one of the best places to find inspiration to create your own works of art and possible masterpieces in the fields of drawing, painting, fresco and sculpture. It's no coincidence that Michelangelo, Leonardo Da Vinci, Brunelleschi and Botticelli, Giotto, Donatello all lived or worked here. Or, if you're not an exceptional artist yourself, you can always take a restoration course to help conserve what other legends have left behind!
Design & ArchitectureFrom the curves of its Italian furniture, to its sloping archways, to the round wheels of its Vespas, to the angles of its leather bags, Florence has got some beautiful lines! Add your own twist in an industrial design, graphic design, interior design, or architecture course!
Decorative ArtsThere are so many artisans in Florence, it's almost impossible to choose between them all without our handy list of decorative and craft art institutions, including: jewelry, goldsmithry, engraving, ceramics, leather work, glass work, batik, book art, furniture design, pottery, mosaic, framing, etching, lithography, weaving, printmaking, illustration, and serigraphy.
Modern Visual ArtsAre your tastes too modern for studying historic arts? Why not try a course in photography, animation, comics, video & filmmaking, film acting, multimedia?
Music & Theater
Italians are performers. Who better to learn the art of entertainment from than the champions of animated emotions, dancing gestures and uninhibited passion?
Not to mention this country is where Opera was born and one in which there is no shortage of gorgeous, centuries-old stages waiting for you to break into their spotlight.

Kathy Griffin's Grammy Gumption
Just recently a post appeared on Facebook telling that Kathy Griffin, 2014 Grammy Award winner blasted Jesus during her acceptance speech (watch Youtube) saying, "…Jesus had nothing to do with it. (Expletive) Jesus. This is my god now!" (referring to her Grammy statue). As a clarification, she made these comments during her 2007 award speech.
First, let me say, we (I include myself) need to be careful of what we see and share on Facebook. I immediately began to write my rebuttal and it wasn't till after I posted, did I see that the date of the Youtube spot was dated 2007. I need to be careful about checking facts too. Some things shared on Facebook are not true--others are there to incite riot in the ranks.
But, that said, I do have my input about the comments Kathy Griffin made--no matter when they were said...

Give Yourself Permission
|Image courtesy of Morguefile.com
Do I feel guilty – A bit.
Do I need the down time – Yes.
Grace is about giving myself permission to rest, without guilt.
I'm realizing a need for more sources to fill my cup. Of course I automatically think of more time with God. But, that can also become a source of guilt unless I realize that He is always with me and that sometimes I need to get off by myself to do something I enjoy—allowing Him to fill me along the way.
So, thanks for extending me grace today for writing a light blog post.
How do you fare on the 'out of steam' meter? Where do you go to have your cup refilled?
Fill my cup, Lord…cuz, I'm running on empty.

Can I Trust God?
Don't try to figure out everything on your own.
Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go;
He's the one who will keep you on track."

Living the Message of Christmas
Christmas opponents may be glad that the hubbub of the season has passed. But for those who love Christ 365 days a year, Christmas continues ad infinitum as we quietly worship the One who came to us over 2000 years ago. You can't silence the hope that lives within the heart of every believer. You can silence the Christmas songs from the radio and sentence the decorations to discount racks, but Jesus is here to stay.
Now, you and I both know that Christmas trees, shiny window lights and Jingle Bell Rock don't embody the message of Christmas—Jesus does. So, as I put away my decorations for another year, I think I'll leave one symbol of Christ to remind me of the One who will come again.
Jesus, present from eternity, came as the infant Messiah who became our Savior. And, He will keep His promise to come again, this time as Lord and King. He came to set us free to live abundantly without fear—in bold confidence and forgiveness rather than condemnation.
Once you meet the Creator of all things and the Lover of your soul, you can't pretend He doesn't exist. You don't want to! He settles in as LORD and gives life to all who come to know Him. He lights the fire in our spirit that no one can extinguish.
So, as we usher in the New Year, what do you hope to accomplish in light of living the message of Christmas?
Take risks to love and be loved – live boldly without fear
Be transparent so others will see Christ in me despite my failings
To reach for higher goals like writing a book and speaking more often to groups
Get involved so I step out of my comfort zone
Living the message of Christmas means not taking my relationships for granted, especially with God. He bought me with His blood, and I owe Him my life in return—a life lived for His glory.
So, my word 2014 is Intentional
I will live in bold confidence because of Who He is—the Great I AM.
What are your hopes for the New Year? Do you have a word or a Scripture to focus on in 2014?

Don't be fooled. This guy is lying through his teeth. This is one of the only guys who has the credentials to interpret the bible correctly and what he says completely smashes Zac Sitchin's BS.
Mike Heiser is a scholar in the fields of biblical studies and the ancient Near East. He is the Academic Editor of Logos Bible Software. Mike earned the M.A. and Ph.D. in Hebrew Bible and Semitic Languages at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2004. He has also earned an M.A. in Ancient History from the University of Pennsylvania (major fields: Ancient Israel and Egyptology). His main research interests are Israelite religion (especially Israel's divine council), biblical theology, ancient Near Eastern religion, biblical & ancient Semitic languages, and ancient Jewish binitarian monotheism.
Mike blogs about biblical studies at The Naked Bible, and fringe beliefs about archaeology and antiquity at PaleoBabble. He offers courses on the Old Testament, New Testament, Biblical theology, and various ancient languages through his online institute, MEMRA. He has also written several articles and short books on these sorts of subjects.
Mike's other academic interests include the paranormal and the occult. His UFO Religions blog discusses how the belief in aliens shapes modern religious worldviews. Mike has been a frequent guest on a number of radio programs such as Coast to Coast AM. He is best known for his critique of the ancient astronaut theories of Zecharia Sitchin and his paranormal thriller, The Facade, which intertwines many of his interests.
You want to know the absolute true well dig through his site and you will see for yourself.
www.michaelsheiser.com... This one page bust the whole UFO-Roswell MYTH!! See the pretty pic's? His book is pretty good reading too as its a story based on what he thinks is happening now between our governments and what the gov, thinks are aliens. I read the whole book in two nights so it must be good.
Mauro is NOT lying through his teeth, he has no agenda. He is making a LITERAL translation of the OT and using only as it was written using consonates and without injecting meaning. The symbols mean what they mean...and nothing more or less. THAT is where Mauro is winning and your bloke is FAIL. Mauro has no vested interest in making the characters say something that they do not. Here is another LITERAL translation project...and sorry but your dude has an agenda.
another literal translation project who are the supreme ONES

Actually, you do not have to work for the Vatican in order to translate ancient texts etc. All you need are some credentials. So far i have found none, not even from his official site. I think it´s more or less promoting a new book.
1. His official biography.
2. No records found in "Edizioni SaN Paolo", neither as curator/illustrator or author.
3. You do not have to be employed by Vatican in order to research in the Secret Archives.
Hope that helps

We are not here to debate the nature of the one and only god(if there is such a thing) we are here to debate the creators of either life on this planet or the human species. God might have made the universe but aliens can still make humans from apes. Try to keep up.

I wanted to inject the personal ideals of those who are believers of God and the like., Many do believe because of some external experiance that they cannot explain. Either supernatural, super coincidental (no such thing as coincidence, jewish law) or other external and or internal experiances. Either drug related, death, relationship, further involvement. So those individual experiances aren't shared online due to criticisms and the like.

So I saw this tag a million years ago on Bee's blog and for some reason or another it had become buried in my Unfinished-Not-Good-Enough-Shit-Post-Pile...UNTIL TODAY! Think of it like the time when you walked upstairs to get something but couldn't remember what it was or how you even got here, then the joy you felt when you got back downstairs and remembered that it was the pack of Malteasers you hid under your bed so no one would eat them. Is anybody else's family like that or is it just mine?
Anyway, as you may have guessed I am a massive book worm. My life is incomplete without one balanced on my lap as much as fish is incomplete without chips. There is just something so special about getting lost in a book and falling in love with the carefully crafted characters (try saying that 5 times!) that you cannot explain to the handful of ignorant people in society who would rather sit on their arse and watch TV all day than read.
I have never really spoken about my reading 'habits' or actually thought about them much myself to be honest, so here goes nothing:
One of my most loved places to read is the garden. Now it's nothing overly fancy or large, just a few flower beds, a mixture of block paving and grass and a wooden bench in one corner, but I think it's absolutely wonderful! In summer especially, it is just so great to get outside and make myself comfortable with a good book to the background music of nature.
Bookmark or random piece of paper?
Over the years I have invested in many bookmarks because there are so many bloody adorable ones on the market at the moment. Having a bookmark to make my page is a more of a necessity than anything else. The one I'm using at the moment can be found here and all the money goes to the animal charity as well so it's win, win both for the animals and the book.
Can you just stop reading or do you have to stop after a chapter / certain amount of pages?
Oh gosh! I don't know what it is but I just can't stop reading in the middle of a chapter...it just feels wrong. So wrong. No matter how many pages are left until the next chapter I will keep at it.
Do you eat or drink while reading?
Never. Why would I want to distract myself with food when I'm so engrossed in a good book, besides who wants sticky chocolate stains all over the front cover?
Music or TV while reading?
I've tried to read during the adverts of shows in the past (damn you ITV with all your commercial break!) but it's just not going to happen. I need peace and quite- not somebody advertising tampons thank you very much.
One book at a time or several at once?
Sometimes I will switch between books if I get bored, then pick the first up again and start to really enjoy it all of a sudden. However, I don't make it a habit to read more than one at once. Its not logical people!
Train or car journeys are pretty fun places to really get stuck into a book plot. I have been known to fall asleep on them in the past.
Well according to friends and family I read aloud even though I'm pretty sure I'm reading silently in my head. But then the way they describe it is like a hissing sound so I wouldn't really call that reading aloud that is if my definition of reading aloud is right *
Do you read ahead or skip pages?
When I first get a book I always read the front page and the last page but other than that I don't 'skip'. It sort of defeats the purpose of reading if you do.
Break the spine or keep it like new?
I always try my absolute hardest to keep the spine looking good as new and for most of my books the spine is holding up pretty nicely, apart from the few I lent to my mum. Thanks a bunch.
Do you write in your books?
A pen or pencil mark in a book is the enemy. I will not go to the dark side.
Where do you store your books when you're not reading them?
At the moment they are all piled on my side table, getting closer and closer to the ceiling. Now exams have finished I can sort through the mess in my room and hopefully make space for a big wooden book case. Ah, I'm drooling at the thought of it!
If you want to take part in the tag and share your strange reading habits with the world, just answer the questions above and let me know how you do!
*It is according to Oxford Dictionary anyway!

Assuming the individual user looking to dual-boot their two operating systems found a tutorial that was in fact accurate, then there is the matter of ensuring that they fully realize which partition is which.
Why? Because many tutorials have users working with partitioning tools that give no clear indication as to which partition now contains the Windows installation. Its be up to the end user to remember the size of each partition to make sure mistakes are avoided.
Can most new users actually do this? Should they be expected to install two different operating systems side by side? This is fine and well for advanced users like us, but its a fast track to a mishap for most people.
Common sense revisited
I'm certainly not advocating dumbing down the Linux experience. No, instead I would like to make sure people fully understand what they are doing before jumping into dual-booting their computers blind. Comprehending all of the risks involved is key when trying to establish a dual-boot setup.
So while many advanced users will continue to scoff at this notion as utter nonsense, not everyone out there has had to deal with a lack of understanding in working with multiple operating systems on the same computer.
What I would love for everyone to take away from this article is first, remember that not everyone is fluent in using computers. So to assume that providing a random link to dual-booting is all that is needed for someone to make it happen, is naive at best...irresponsible at worst.
I believe that along with a full disclosure of what it means to start messing with existing partitions, one might also mention that most people would do well to avoid dual-booting altogether. This may seem a bit absolute to some, but I can promise you that adding an Ubuntu guest installation to a VM in Windows does a lot less harm that trying to manipulate random partitions blindly.

Recently, in celebration of Mother's Day, I read the book "Heaven Is Here" by Stephanie Nielson. It speaks of the triumph of the human spirit only made possible by the presence of God. The book will go straight to the center of your heart.
Nielson said that, in 2008, she believed she had the perfect life - a wonderfully happy marriage for more than eight years and four healthy, happy children. Her husband, Christian, had a great job, and she, in addition to joyfully caring for their children, found creative fulfillment and a far-flung community of online friends through writing a blog called "NieNie Dialogues."
Everything changed on a sunny day in August 2008. She and her husband, a newly credentialed pilot, and Doug Kinneard, his flight instructor, were taking a day trip to her husband's family ranch in New Mexico. They were enjoying a beautiful return home with Doug at the controls until the voices in the cockpit sounded concerned. As she looked out the window, the houses below seemed to be coming closer. The plane slammed into the ground and burst into flames. Everything went dark.
When she woke up, it was November, and she was in a Phoenix hospital being treated for burns over 80 percent of her body. Her husband survived with burns over 40 percent of his body, while Kinneard died the next day in the hospital.
It was two months before Nielson could look at herself in the mirror. Her greatest fear was that her children would never be able to accept or love her. She wanted to die.
Yet the reunion with the children went better than she feared. Only one, Jane, their 5-year-old, took one look at her mother, gasped, and wouldn't look at her again for months. Yet all of that seemed to dissolve when, in March 2008, they moved into their new home and Stephanie could come home from the hospital.
It was on Mother's Day that she could type, though slowly and painfully with bandaged hands. She wrote: "It's true! I am alive! I look different and I walk slowly, but it's great to be back. I'm the luckiest mother alive!"

Out of 8 vehicles in a 40 mph convoy, only the one carrying troops was hit by the roadside bomb! This requires a wireless trigger, and those who planted the bomb
– had to know the convoy route in advance
– had to have free access to the roadside
– had to know this truck carried men not munition, on that particular day
– had to be near the truck just before departure
Click the video to watch how it happened.
My military buddies do not buy the "Zarqawi did it" tale anymore. Zarqawi = "resistance." We can understand Zarqawi. Zarqawi is not creepy enough, not cold-blooded enough, to explain what is happening.
Who gets next to us and earns our trust?
1. The Iraqi soldiers? But I don't think they are going to blow themselves up.
2. The contractors? I am suspicious about this group because they never seem to get hit.
Aren't they among us 24/7? Aren't they fixing the roads? Aren't they advising us on how to combat terrorism? Aren't they supposed to know about terrorists?
Who is checking our vehicles for transmitters before we go out on the road? Who can get their hands on high-tech devices?
For God's sake, who is standing alongside of the road making a video of the truck blowing up, or retrieving a hidden camera? If they are real, and not psy-ops, why don't we chase after them and catch them. That's the logical reaction.
Where are our roadside mine-sweepers? Why don't our trillion dollar spy planes and satellites link people to the scene of a blast?
My buddies used to be all fired up about Zarqawi. Now we have our doubts. We sense the plot is much more ominous–that the traitors are in our midst. They are among us, cold-blooded killers who look around and at any given moment decide who will live and who will die.
The effect of this bomb campaign is to keep the occupation going. Who wants to do that, we are asking ourselves?
The Arabs hate our guts. They are passionate. They yell and scream and curse at us, or regale us with fake sweetness and charm. They don't know how to hide who they are. They want us to get out. They don't want us dead.

James Olson
Ghostwords was written on November 17, 2007
Shortly after entering the Wildfire complex, the three male scientists walk naked through a doorway, in single file; we briefly see James Olson's rearview, as he's at the back of the parade. Shortly afterwards, he's shown lying naked on an examination table; we see his left side, but his genitals are obscured. (Earlier, there's a shot of a topless corpse, but the actress is not identifiable from the credits.)

Us Now film premiere (US, UK AND ONLINE)
I didn't pay enough attention to this and missed the "event" part, but the film is online here.
The DOD Blogger's Roundtable ran a little long while CAPT Lineberry found a line with a good connection. But that's fine....you know with me, Navy comes first.
I tried Twittering the call. Eh....it was ok. My ADD interferes with multitasking, lol.
CAPT Lineberry is Mission Commander for Continuing Promise 2009. The call started out with three bloggers and MC3 William Selby as our moderator. However due to the delays from USNS Comfort, it ended up just Beth Wilson of Homefront in Focus and myself.
I'll post more about it later. For now I want to catch this film.
Oh and a point I thought was important by way of a retwitter from @cheeky_geeky (Dr. Mark Drapeau) on Twitter this morning. -
Dont' focus on current tool, that changes, focus on why. That will help with adaptability. (RT @salemonz) #jpawg

Multiple Page Type filters within a Page List blockPermalink
I've run into a challenge where by I could do with creating a page list block that filters not just by one Page Type but rather two, so that the resultant list of pages are of either Page Type X or Page Type Y.
I've delved into the core page_list code and can see where the filterByCollectionTypeID function is used to set a filter on the query but I get a little lost as this transitions into the executable code within the core database_item_list.php.
From my limited knowledge, I'm not quite sure as to how I should override the code to include this logical OR into this filter.
Any guidance or help would be appreciated.
<?php Loader::model('page_list'); $pl = new PageList(); //Filters by page type handles. $ctHandle can be array of page type handles. $pl->filterByCollectionTypeHandle($ctHandle); // Get the page List Results $pages = $pl->getPage(); //Get all pages that match filter/sort criteria. // Display Page Name and Description foreach ($pages as $page){ echo $page->getCollectionName(); echo $page->getCollectionDescription(); } ?>
It was right under my nose I guess. I've now overridden the Page List Block controller getPageList method and utilised the filterByCollectionTypeHandle method instead of the filterByCollectionTypeID for the scenario where I needed to handle it differently.
Works great.

May 6, 2017
Saturday morning we were up early, finished our final load of laundry and was ready to head to the Hollywood Casino in Tunica, Ms. for a little R&R.
It was interesting to see all the service bays at Tiffin closed and at the same time, the service lot was completely full with RVs waiting for service Monday morning.
We were just about ready to pull out when we discovered that our water pump was not working. Not good as you could not flush the toilet or run any water. After contacting Dr. Norton (that's Al Norton who is Steve's go to for all things RV), Steve got it working (it knocked it with a hammer one time) but it was suggested we may want to consider purchasing a spare just in case future problems. This is now on our list of things to do.
We made it to Tunica to the Hollywood Casino RV park about 1 PM. Nice park, within walking distance to the casino. We parked and headed to the casino to have a little fun and to make our contribution to the local economy. We decided to drive over to Sam's Town to have dinner and to play a few more slots. By the end of the night, I was $20 down and Steve was $60 up so all was good. When we returned to the RV, we found a couple of the outlets were not working. The critical one was the one we use for the coffee maker, however, an extension cord took care of the problem temporarily.
Based upon a recommendation, we decided to spend a couple of nights at the WinStar Casino in Thackerville, Ok. It is the largest casino in the world so we decided that was a good place to stop in route to Las Vegas. It was going to be a 9 hr. drive so we wanted to get off early.
We were up and on the road by 7:15 am. That is really early for us, usually when we say an early start, we're lucky to be on the road by 900 am. It felt good to be on the go and looking forward to the next stop and all of the sights along the way.
We made it to Oklahoma without any problems, the campground is huge and very nice. We parked the RV, did not even take time to set up, just connected the power, turned on the A/C and headed out the door. The temperature was not so bad but as you can see, this park has no shade, just a lot of concrete, and a hot sun. The casino is about 2-3 mi from the campground but they run a shuttle every 15-20 min 24 hrs. a day. The pick up was right outside our door. That was about 5:30 PM, so we stayed and played, had some dinner. I ended up with $20 to the good (made up for previous night) Steve was up about $40. so he was doing pretty good. When we got back to the RV, we checked with Dr. Norton who suggested to Steve he may want to hit the reset on the outlets. He did and they now work.
Monday morning we slept in, I did another load of laundry and then we headed to the casino. When you have access to a nice clean laundry facility, you take advantage, as your not sure what the next place will look like and some of them I choose to pass on. The good news is we walked the complete casino both days which felt good after being so cooped up, and we had a lot of fun. We got in over 3 miles each day. Of course that much time in the casino was expensive. I won't discuss my losses in detail but let's just say we now plan to skip Las Vegas on the outbound and will reconsider when coming back.
We have changed our plans some, Steve is anxious to get to California to see his dad who is not doing well. We plan to get an early start tomorrow and cancel all side trips for now so most likely there won't be much to share for the next few days.

A recent article published by the Huffington Post discussed the health differences between fresh leafy greens and canned greens. For the last decade or so, Americans have been increasingly exposed to alternative dietary recommendations in an attempt to hinder the progression of the cancers and heart disease that have plagued the west for the last hundred years. More and more, Americans are finding that the addition of dark, leafy greens to their daily diets can vastly increase life spans by limiting the number of free radicals present in the body, effectively cleansing the liver, kidneys, blood, and intestines, and providing beneficial vitamins and minerals that are not found in processed American foods.
Although the benefits of the daily inclusion of dark, leafy greens has been declared to be beneficial by most major health outlets, a debate as to whether or not canned greens should been included in this beneficial category has been ongoing. The general consensus among the health concerned is that canned vegetables do not provide the necessary vitamin and nutrient content to compare with the benefits provided by the consumption of fresh leafy greens. The canning process that most large distribution companies use when developing canned vegetables does much to harm the nutrient levels in the vegetables.
Canned vegetables are often over cooked, a process which virtually destroys the bio-available nutrients in the greens. They are also packed with preservatives to help super markets to keep the product on shelves for extended periods of time in an effort to attain the maximum profitability. Additionally, canned vegetables can contain a level of mildew that is unnoticeable to the human eye and is, therefore, easily ingested by the average consumer. The Huffington Post article on the subject mentioned that the FDA does not classify mildew present in some canned vegetables as entirely harmful to the population, but the average consumer would probably disagree and desire not to ingest food that has any percentage of mildew present. The Huffington Post also mentions that canned greens like spinach contained larvae or larvae fragments from spinach worms that were harvested with the greens. Again the problem is undetected by the human eye because of the extensive preparation by the manufacturer. All in all, health enthusiasts are in agreement that greens are best when they are fresh.
