John 1:29-34
John 1:29-34
Many of you have probably seen the movie The Bourne Identity (1). The movie begins on a thrilling note as the protagonist, Jason Bourne is found barely alive, floating at sea. It is soon discovered that Bourne has no memory of who he is. In him we can witness firsthand what a terrible experience it is when someone loses their identity. Such a person is sad, restless and lacks peace and direction. At times we as Catholics can be like Jason Bourne. Even though we come to Church each Sunday, often times we are unsure about our mission. What is our main task as a Church? What is the most important job that we have been given to do? We risk losing our deepest identity. The gospel of today is a remedy against this. The example of John the Baptist is a strong reminder and example of what our identity is as a Church and individual disciples of Jesus.
Our identity as Catholics and the Church is that we are meant to lead other people to Jesus Christ. Our most important mission is to evangelize. John the Baptist is an example for us because his whole existence is like a signpost leading people to Jesus. Especially since the Second Vatican Council, the Church has reminded herself many times that this fundamental identity. For example, in 1975, Pope Paul VI wrote the following with respect to Catholic identity:
Evangelization is in fact the grace and vocation proper to the Church, her deepest identity. She exists in order to evangelize. (Evangelii Nuntiandi, 14)
We have just begun the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. This annual event strives to further the Ecumenical Movement, which works to bring about greater unity among Christians. One of the important reasons why the Ecumenical Movement began was because of a growing realization among Christians that our disunity hindered our ability to fulfil our primary mission of Evangelization. The Ecumentical Movement in large part began among missionaries. For example, in India, Anglican missionaries would come to a village and share the gospel among those who had never heard of Jesus. Soon after, Catholics missionaries would come to the same village and explain that although the Anglicans were right about Jesus, they were the wrong Christian group to be part of. Of course, the same thing happened when Catholic missionaries arrived first. The Indian people, seeing this situation, would ask why they should become Christians if Christians themselves had such disunity. Divisions among Christians hindered our main mission of leading people closer to Jesus; it went against our primary identity as an evangelizing community.
In order to fulfil this mission, we must have a clear understanding of who Jesus is and what he does for us. Today there can be a lot of confusion on this question. In the Gospel we see that John the Baptist is very straightforward in announcing who Jesus is and what He does for us. Notice that John the Baptist is not saying, "look everyone, there is Jesus, a great teacher, a good guy, or a sage, moral leader". No, John says, "behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world". Later on, He testifies that Jesus is the Son of God. In a few short statements, John the Baptist has proclaimed the core of the Gospel, which is often called the Kerygma, meaning "the cry" or "the proclamation". The Kerygma is something we should all know by heart. It explains very briefly who Jesus is and what He does for us. In four easy points, the Kerygma is as follows:
- God created you for a relationship with him
- Our relationship was broken through sin
- Jesus - true God and true man - restores our relationship
- We respond by inviting Christ to be the centre of our lives
In order to lead people to Jesus Christ, as did John the Baptist, we must have a clear understanding of who Jesus is and what He does for us.
More than knowing about Jesus, our relationship with Him must change our life. There is a big difference between simply knowing about something and having that thing change your life. Let us take, for example, the relationship that different people have with the Vancouver Canucks. Compare the relationship that a sportswriter will have with the team to that of a die-hard fan. The sportswriter might know everything about the Canucks: the history of the franchise, the statistics on all the player and every possible detail about the team. This knowledge, however might not have any impact on the rest of the writer's life. It is just a job. For a die-hard fans, the situation is completely different. Their relationship with the team impacts all aspects of their life: how they spend their free-time, what they wear, what makes them happy (victories, not losses) and what they talk to other people about. When it comes to Jesus, we need to be like the die-hard fan. John the Baptist was such an individual. He knew about Jesus but this knowledge changed all aspects of his life. Its not enough to know about Jesus, our relationship with Him must change us.
In order to complete our mission of bringing people to Jesus, we need to be able to articulate to others the difference He has made in our life. We, like John the Baptist, need to be able to testify about Jesus. When we are able to explain to others in an open and honest way the story of how God has worked in our life we are able to draw other people to follow Jesus. For a long time this was something that I struggled doing. During my time at University my friends would ask me questions similar to the following. Why are you Catholic and not some other religion? Why do you go to Church on Sunday? Who do you that think Jesus is? At the time, I struggled to answer these questions. Perhaps it was because I only a minimal relationship with Jesus back then. In order to better articulate our faith to others, we can begin by asking ourselves three questions:
- When in my life did I make the personal, intentional choice to put Jesus in the center of my life? Or, when did I chose to follow Christ in a deeper way?
- What was my life like before making this decision?
- How has my life changed since I chose to make my relationship with Jesus a priority in my life?
When we are able to articulate to others the difference that Jesus has made in our life, we can better draw other into a relationship with Him.
Jason Bourne eventually re-discovers his identity. This revelation does not suddenly make his life easy. Quite the contrary, in fact. After finding out his identity, Bourne's life becomes one challenging adventure. Knowing his identity, however, gives Bourne a sense of purpose, focus and peace. When we as Catholics remind ourselves of our identity, much the same thing happens. As individuals and communities we are given a clear focus and goal that unifies all our activities and energies. Today let us be reminded that our greatest mission is to be like John the Baptist. We are called to lead as many people as possible to know, love and serve Jesus Christ. This is our Catholic identity.
(1): Some ideas for this homily come from Catholic Christian Outreach's Commission Study. In particular the Bourne Identity reference and the 4-point Kerygma.

Saints -
I just got off the floor praying when the Lord spoke to me in a powerful voice that threw me right back onto the ground. "I want you to pay off the national debt in the USA". "Whoowww" I said, "Slowly Lord, does this include the $700 Billion we just gave to the banks, or is it just the normal $10 Trillion?". The Lord continued: "All of it, I command you to pay off the complete national debt when I come back. I will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:19). What a powerful message! Rejoice and don't even think about paying off that credit card yourself any longer! BetOnJesus with our Lord will take care of that as well when He comes back. Because if you have any personal debt, why don't you prayerfully bet and tithe with BetOnJesus and bet on our Lord's return. Our Lord is getting better every day. What an end to the world!
Yours in Christ,
Pastor Boj

This film will always hold a special place in my heart. Every couple of years I rewatch it and I am brought back to my years in middle school (I'm 28, quit trying to do the math). At that time, teen screams were at an all-time high with the recent releases of Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and Urban Legend. The Faculty followed in these films footsteps, and even though it is in the science fiction subgenre of horror, I still love it as much as the above mentioned (though Scream is definitely at the top).
The list of characters is undeniably similar to the characters in The Breakfast Club. We have the nerd, the jock, the princess, the rebel, the goth chick, and the new girl. As stereotypical and cliché as these characters are, the film really fleshes out their personalities in a way that everyone can relate. I know these characters. I grew up with them. As the audience, we are invested in these complex characters and it is impossible not care about what happens to them, even the ones we love to hate.
The rebel is in his fifth year and an "entrepreneur" of drugs. The jock is a conflicted quarterback with a kind heart. The goth girl uses a cover as a lesbian even though she is secretly in love with the jock. The princess with an attitude dates the jock and is perfect in everything she does. The nerd is the geeky Stephen King kid and the new girl is just trying to fit in. Each is dealing with their own high school drama. But life is about to get even harder when they realize that the disgruntled faculty has started to exhibit some bizarre behavior.
The first scene when all the characters are in one room together is when things really start to heat up and they have absolute truth that the faculty have turned into aliens. Aliens are taking over the fucking school! And what's even worse, the pandemic is spreading. But who is going to believe a bunch of delinquents? What really works in this film is the element of surprise. There are no true distinguishing factors that make someone recognizable as an alien or not. So each time an alien is revealed, it is a completely unpredictable and an absolute surprise- no matter how many times you have seen it.
'Human host' films can sometimes feel like a dime a dozen. Though this movie is reminiscent of older films, it is still totally original. The fact that it takes the common problems found in all high schools and makes alien-ism almost appealing, with the thought of everyone being equal and belonging with no fear and no problems, is totally genius. One of the characters even brings up the book Invasion of the Body Snatchers, which most of us know was turned into a big cinematic hit in the 70's. I like that the film makes a point of showing the direct relationship to this classic. This has actually inspired me to start reading Invasion of the Body Snatchers only days after watching this.
Everything is done right in this film, from the screenplay to the casting. The writing is excellent and full of foreshadowing with lines like, "I'm feeling pretty alien myself today," and "Stick a pen in my eye," and "I don't think a person should run unless he is being chased." And with a knockout cast like Josh Hartnett, Salma Hayek, Usher, Jon Stewart, and Elijah Wood, you can't go wrong. This film will always remain relevant to teens, no matter the era.

The digital world's answer to Encyclopedia Britannica has its detractors. These critics of open sourcing say Wikipedia is a spottily vetted and often utterly spurious source of online information. On of the more vocal Wikipedia naysayers is none other than its co-founder, Larry Sanger, who says the "radical egalitarianism" Wikipedia touts is nothing of the sort.
The charges against Wikipedia would perhaps not be so damaging if it wasn't one-stop shopping for millions of students trolling for citations for their term papers, i.e., there is a generation of learners being weaned on a scrappy new definition of "expertise."
Sanger attributes it to the mass participation model that creates Wikipedia's content. Suddenly, anyone can be an expert, a precedent that though seemingly democratic, laid fertile ground for half-baked knowledge to be passed off as sound empiricism, which of course is ultimately a disservice to any democracy.
Sanger has gone on to found a rival encyclopedic venue, Citizendium in hopes of alleviating the bad case of existential panic that Wikipedia has induced among scholars and academics. Citizendium set the bar much higher than its rival by requiring all authors to use their real identities, forming peer reviews to vet articles and eliminating real-time editing.
Sanger has further signaled the future of online venues for open-source information will trend toward a more rigorous approach as Wikipedia's content becomes worse over time. Poor quality expertise produces only more poor quality expertise in Sanger's dystopian vision of digital knowledge.

The first Presidential debate of the 2012 election season has now become part of history. There has been many takes on the debate especially about Obama's performance. Most people's take on it will depend on which side of the partisan divide they are on. Going by what matters to the very corrupt, corporate, for profit media we have in this country, truth is no longer sacred! What matters is the spin that will get the most following, viewership/ readership, and thus the most ratings and of course $$$$$$. So something as important as a Presidential debate, which should be about clear delivery of policy in a way the voting masses can understand and follow, is treated like the superbowl or UFC where the guys that pull the other down the most win. How many people came off the debate knowing exactly what Romney's policy position on any issue is? Yet according to the for profit media, Romney "won"!!! How rediculous is that?
What bothers me is that we live at a time when most people make judgements, not based on substance or truths, but on image projected in the media or on opinions espoused by so called self appointed "pundits" which are usually not worth 2 cents in my opinion ). How well has Obama projected the image of a strong leader? Before I go further, I must say that I am a strong OBAMACAN( supporter ) and have been since 2007. My contributions to Obama and Democratic campaigns is well over $2000 since 2008. I am proud of this support and I believe in President Obama's ideals, but I have had my points of disagreement. My strongest point of disagreement being Mr. Obama's inability to stand up strong in the face of fierce opposition!!
The early pointer to this was in early 2009, shortly after the President was sworn in. Many members of the Democratic caucus in the senate wanted Joe Libermann's committee chairman seat taken from him, and for good reason too. Libermann, a former Democrat endorsed Republican John Mccain and appeared at campaign events around the country with him, blasting Obama on every front. How did Obama handle this? He admonished the senate Democrats and advocated for the evil Libermann to keep his seat. How did that workout? Libermann never supported any of Obama's policies. He voted with Republicans to frustrated every policy that will turn the economy around and give points to the Obama administration.
Next, Mitch Mcconnell went on national television and shamelessly declared that the only agenda the Republican party had was to ensure that Obama never got a second term!! Obama never called Mitch Maccon artist out on this, rather he expended political capital trying to appease the rabidly evil Republicons. He never made a case against these self serving and unpatriotic Republicans before the American people. He never told the American people that what this really meant was that Republicans had chosen to hurt the country by opposing any policy that will lead to economic recovery, or even put forward policies of their own. Obama, ever willing to compromise succumbed to every Republican blackmail. How did that play out? It made the Republicans stronger and more vehement in their rabid and often unreasonable opposition, knowing fully well that Obama was the kind of guy that could be pushed around.
Fast forward to the Presidential debates. This was a big stage for Obama to take charge and dictate the tone and pace of the debate. All he needed to do on that night in my opinion, was to be President to both Romney and Lehrer and indeed 300 million Americans. It was an opportunity for Obama to stand strong, all macho and be the BOSS, call the shots and call Romney to order!! What did Obama do? He, in his characteristic way, ceeded this role to Romney, and chose to look from the sidelines, thus giving a whimp like Romney, the image of a strong leader. It is this image that won Romney the first debate and not the substance or the truths of his positions. Anybody can win a debate against Mitt Romney on the economy and domestic issues. The amount of material out there that will make Romney capitulate in minutes is mind boggling. But Obama,for reasons I am yet to understand chose not to use them.
This raises the question, are we ever going to see an image of a strong, kick ass Obama? Does Obama have it in him or is he just a pacifist, compromiser, why can't we all get along kind of guy? I have a problem with this image. I believe there is a time to compromise and a time to stand up strong and fight. I think the excuses of not wanting to appear as a bully or an angry black man are old and lame. The Republicans have made it clear at every opportunity that their loyalty is not to America or the American people, but to themselves and are willing to use every hurtful tactic that will fool the people and allow them to secure power. It is time for Obama to stand strong in the face of fierce Republican opposition and obstruction and hold his own. It is time he excudes strength and project the image of a guy who is willing and ready to kick Republican asses anytime. No more unnecessary compromise without getting anything in return, no more capitulation, no more allowing Romney to lie every second and behave like a hood thug without being called to order. I want the image of a strong macho Obama!!! But does it exist?

Family in Kinuso
Hi my name is Jody I am a single parent looking for a live-in nanny for my daughter Grace whom will be 15 months old for the initial start of this assignment. My home base is Alberta, but I am a Nurse Practitioner working in a one nurse station in a remote community of the Yukon, 6 months of the year (December to May). Due to the nature of my employment I will be required to run a clinic Monday to Friday 0830 to 1700 hr, but also provide 24 hour, 7 days a week emergency care response, therefore, due to the nature of my employment I am looking for a live-in nanny whom would be willing to provide the same schedule of child care. I would resume child care in evenings and weekends but would need to rely on a nanny to take over in the event of an emergency which I would not foresee as being frequent due to the small size of the community population, approximately 100. I am looking for an individual who would be willing and comfortable with travel, living in a remote but picturest setting, adventuress spirit, content with the lack of amenities of a city, can work flexible hours, patient, caring and passionate towards children. Room and board is also provided. Please contact me via emailif you feel you would be a suitable candidate.

Mentalities (say it French style for ivory tower street cred: mon-tall-ee-TAYS) are the hardest thing for a history teacher to convey. The past really is a foreign country, as some dead white dude said; they do things differently there. Archimedes, to take a well known example, invented all kinds of cool stuff that could've changed the world, and the Greeks even had a steam turbine. Pop quiz, hotshots: Given all that, why was there no "steampunk" in the Classical World?
The answer is: Slavery. Steam engines, hydraulic gears, levers, and all that badass Archimedes stuff are all, at bottom, labor-saving devices. The ancient world was not about saving labor. The ancient world had the opposite problem. They had excess labor and no real way to dispose of it, save slavery — and even that was woefully inefficient, often counterproductive (see, for example, the Roman latifundia destroying their military manpower base). So steam power was to them what nunchucks are to us — cool, but useless.
Problem is, it takes real imagination to see that. I'm pretty sure they still teach that slavery was the basis of the ancient economy, but that's just a fact, one of several dozen equally meaningless facts one is required to memorize for the test. What is it like to live in a world where slavery is the primary form of labor? Who cares? It's just like the American Civil War — write "slavery" in the blank and move on. Since there's no effort made to inhabit their mental world, it's impossible to make connections between disjointed facts.
"Inhabiting their mental world" is, in fact, very strongly discouraged. Let's say I'm teaching a course on the antebellum United States, and I assign you to read John C. Calhoun's Exposition and Protest. Calhoun makes some pretty solid arguments, and walking a class through them would be, if done right, not just a primer on American Constitutional theory, but on social contract theory in general… not to mention hitting the high points of Federalism, Anti-Federalism, Jacksonian democracy, the First American Party System, the first Industrial Revolution, &c. The problem, of course, was that the Exposition and Protest wasn't "really" about the Tariff of 1828. It was really about slavery, and if you give an inch to Calhoun's arguments, you can't help but conclude that he was probably right about the legal basis for slavery, too. Which is Badthink in the First Degree, punishable by an F in the class, a semester of mandatory Diversity Awareness, and the entire university kangaroo court apparatus hounding you every day for the rest of your brief college career. And that's just what would happen to you, the student — I'd be sent to the salt mines.
Which brings us to Fantasy and Science Fiction, and why it's nothing but SJW propaganda these days (betcha didn't see that coming!).
I honestly have no idea what our K-12 ed professionals think they're trying to achieve, but what they actually do achieve is the annihilation of imagination. History and Literature are still taught, of course, but only in the manner I've described — disjointed facts and canned answers to be memorized, regurgitated, and forgotten. How could it be otherwise? Western Civ is 99.97% the story of CisHetPat White males, who are, always have been, and always will be, pure evil. Why would anyone care what they thought about anything? Thus History, when it leaves off slamming the native stock's many and obvious flaws, is nothing but the hagiography of Diverse nobodies sticking it to The Man. Ditto Literature, all of which can be CliffsNoted "Blackity Black Latinx homo vagina, kemosabe."
How, then, is one to even begin imagining a different world, full of elves and dragons and androids and whatnot? The only creativity tolerated in our grade schools is the kind that brings a so-called "fact" into conformity with the Current Year's Social Justice catechism. These kids exist in an endless, contextless present; if there is no past, how can there be a future? This has been the state of American education for the past 50 years, and when you consider that Upper West Side SWPLs — you know, the folks that run every traditional publishing house in Manhattan — got it first and hardest, well, it stands to reason, doesn't it? To these drones, pronounless gunch really does seem like groundbreaking stuff, not a sophomoric marketing stunt.
I don't really read F/SF, or much fiction at all anymore, but I teach kids who do. They really think this crap is creativity. The faster Vox Day and Castalia House buries them all, and salts the earth around them, the better.

Designed for managers, Directors and business owners. The learning material gives you and/or your team the skills and knowledge needed to create strategies that boost competitive advantage. Our approach is founded on the need for high performers to acutely understand the 20% of strategies that generate 80% of the impact to inject power in marketing, process, people and money.
How does the it work?
This training module is split into two half day workshops. The training can be delivered in-house at your premises or at our selected training suite, for up to 12 delegates.
What will you learn?
Course Content:
- Understanding Strategically Important Action
- How to build brand power
- 20:80 marketing action
- 20:80 process improvement
- 20:80 people development
- 20:80 profit stimuli
- Filling in a Future Statement
- How to map strategy across a business
Sample Content from this Module
The working title for this element of the Game Change program is INJECT POWER.
Deciding the critical acts of business is needed to translate aspirations into reality and business as usual. You must become the catalyst for the 20% of action that generates 80% of the business impact. Samples from the course content are listed below.
20:80 Marketing Action – The Most Important Graph in Marketing
"The most common mistake people make when creating marketing and sales strategies is to assume they are the customer. They make decisions based on what they think and feel, not their customers' needs and emotions which obviously can be very different."
20:80 Process Improvement – People Break Processes
"Profit-margin is most commonly eroded at the interfaces, or handover events. It is usually people that break processes by not following the system, consciously through taking short cuts, or unconsciously because of poor communication. This is where management proves their worth by being aware of what's going on at these high risk interfaces."
20:80 Profit Stimuli – Influence the Price
"In our experience, most entrepreneurs fail to appreciate their real worth in the eyes of customers. Adopting a competitor-led pricing policy means every time you make a sale you are effectively throwing money away because of the missed income you could have earned if you had priced optimally."
If you would like more information on the content in this module, please download a PDF copy of the Game Change book. The learning content is included in the section Act 2: Inject Power.

"Everything happens for a reason and I have no doubt that meeting Elizabeth was no accident. I have been a successful conventional vet for 20years but have always known that there is more to veterinary medicine. It is not just a physical medicine there is a need to heal the spirit, a need to develop a spiritual understanding with my animal patient. Therefore, learning Animal Healing from Elizabeth Whiter has been an amazing transformational journey and I now believe I am a complete Veterinarian.
Elizabeth's passion, compassion and her dedication to animal well being is infectious and so genuine, that I feel tremendous respect for her work and feel greatly privileged to be working alongside her on our mission to better the lives of animals and their guardians worldwide." Dr Rohini Sathish

ACE Animal Care Egypt
Healing Animals Organisation (HAO) is supporting a project at ACE to provide subsidised neutering for pets of Egyptian owners in Luxor. The current cat and dog population is a great problem in the city. By providing locals access to neutering for their pets we can work towards decreasing the number of unwanted kittens and puppies and can help educate owners on how to care for their animals.
Donkey Sanctuary Portugal
The Donkey Sanctuary is situated on the Algarve. The sanctuary hosts about 20 donkeys, 5 mules, 1 horse and about 94 dogs. All dogs are neutered or spayed. The Sanctuary's goal is to home as many dogs as possible in Portugal itself. The Portuguese do not take puppies older then 3 or 4 months, so older dogs sometimes fly to Germany or Holland as they have a better chance of adoption over there. Read More…

Chris Soules' New Lawyers Claim He Didn't Flee Fatal Accident & Tried To Resuscitate Victim
Maybe these new lawyers can keep Chris Soules out of prison. According to 'The Bachelor' star's updated legal team, their client did NOT flee the scene of the fatal car crash on Apr. 24 and even attempted to resuscitate the victim. Here's the latest!
There are so many questions surrounding Chris Soules', 35, fatal car crash. Was he drunk driving? Was he talking on the phone? Is he going to prison? Following reports that the reality star fled the scene on April 24, his new team of lawyers released a statement obtained by People three days later that tells a difference story.
"While initial reports suggested Soules fled the scene, the 911 call confirms that Soules in fact was the one who contacted law enforcement immediately. Attorneys are confident that once all the evidence is made public, it will show Soules acted reasonably and did everything in his power to provide aid to Mr. Mosher."
The 911 phone call lawyers are referring to was released on April 26. The audio is absolutely chilling and will leave listeners with goosebumps. Chris' voice sounds winded, shaky, and above all disoriented. After making the call, the former The Bachelor contestant was reportedly arrested and CHARGED with leaving the car crash scene that left one driver, identified as Kenneth E. Mosher, dead. Chris made his first court appearance later that day and was released on a $10,000 bail bond.
Shocking Celebrity Arrests & Mug Shots — Pics
That being said, the television personality isn't out of the woods just yet. Once all the evidence is collected, there's a chance he may serve a TWENTY FIVE year prison sentence, lose his farm, and be forced to pay a $1.5 million fee. If authorities find ONE drop of alcohol or any illegal substances in his blood, Chris could face a "Class B felony which can carry up to a 25 year prison sentence." according to Iowa Defense Attorney Nick Sarcone who spoke with HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. We're getting nervous just thinking about the case.
HollywoodLifers, do YOU think Chris fled the fatal car crash scene? Tell us your thoughts!

The Black Forest: Book One
Paperback, 360 Pages
Price: $9.99
Prints in 3-5 business days
There were six of them. One was in love, and doubted he could ever be loved in return. One was struggling with her career, plagued by vivid, gruesome nightmares like none she'd ever experienced. One chose to hide his insecurities behind an alpha-male exterior, but wrestled with his own demons on a daily basis. One believed her life was over when her boyfriend left her sobbing on the street, and has never forgotten his betrayal. One is dry-humored, quiet, desperate for a change but too afraid to make it. And one is eternally devoted to a god she met as a child… a god who once saved her from a force so terrifying, so powerful, that it reaches across entire continents to devour its helpless prey. There were six of them, at first. None of them would ever be the same.

In the second part of my review of English art I will now consider the influence of Vanessa Bell who Frances Spalding considers in her commentary.
" Having previously confirmed herself chiefly to portraits and still- life's she (Bell) now painted the arbitrary configurations created by for example 'a street corner conversation or figures on a beach". [1].
" An important influence on this period was Degas who surprisingly was not represented in either of the two (Post- Impressionist) exhibitions". [2].
What Spalding fails to understand is that Edgar Degas was not a Post-Impressionists but an Impressionist. There was a marked difference between Impressionism and post-Impressionism if you study the works of Seurat , Signac and Van Gogh, the application of paint , the scientific application of the Iconography.
" It was Degas's example that taught Sickert always to look for the unconventional in a pose or setting inn order…

31dc2012 - day 17
The theme for today is Glitter.
I didn't go for anything extravagant today because I just didn't have time! I slapped on one glitter polish and called it a day.
I will have to do a crazy glitterbomb mani when the challenge is over to make up for it.
Lush Lacquer - Birthday Cake
This is a super cute indie polish from Lush Lacquer! I should have used this in my birthday manicure. Haha! At least I used it during my birthday month, right? It's only 4 days after... Haha!
I layered 2 coats of this polish over a white creme. I find that this polish looks very different in some people's photos, so there may be some variation between bottles. That's one of the cool and also uncool things about indies. Haha! It's nice to have unique things but sometimes you may not get what you're expecting.
Either way, however this polish looks, it is cute as hell!
Now I am off to ponder my half-moon mani for tomorrow. Hmmmmmmmm.

While Apple fanboys are getting excited over yet another iTablet/iPad supposed leak, others are turning their focus to an almost dead cert; a new iPod touch complete with digital camera.
The latest supposed leak includes a gallery of images posted on Flickr and a video to prove it of an iPod touch complete with camera on the back top and centre.
The shots, which could just be the work of an over eager fan boy with a drill do look legitimate, but we can't help feel that if Apple were going to put a camera on the back, and we suspect they will, why they haven't married it up in the same place as the iPhone camera location?
Apple is expected to announce a new iPod touch along with other music related announcements at their annual, yet to be confirmed, September product launch.
Current speculation suggests the announcement will come a week before the launch of Microsoft's latest Zune MP3 player in the US. It that is correct, it would put an announcement sometime during the week commencing the 7 September.
The company has yet to officially set a date.
We will keep you posted.

Today we took a ferry to Korcula Island. With an area of 279 square kilometres, it is the sixth largest Adriatic island. The main settlements on the island are the towns of Korcula, Vela Luka and Blato.
Approaching the town by ferry. Korcula Town is the main town on the island, with a population of about 3,000.
The economy besides tourism, is based on agriculture of grape vines, olives and fruit. There is also fishing and fish processing. Shipbuilding still exists although its importance to the total economy has diminished.
A dog waiting patiently for its family to come out of the museum.
The Kanalevic Tower is also named Bokar or Barbarigo as it was built between 1485 and 1488 under the rule of Augustino Barbarigo, who was the Doge of Venice. The tower is now called Kula Kanalevic, named after the 16th century poet, Korcula who lived in the house next to the tower.
An old Catholic Church.
Looking up at some old buildings.
I always like photographing old, interesting doors.
Canons protecting the city.
The old city is surrounded by walls and the streets are arranged in a herringbone pattern, allowing the free circulation of air but protecting against strong winds. Building outside the walls was forbidden until the 18th century.
Another old door in the town.
|Many of the narrow streets had steps.
The kids came to claim their scooters and were happy to pose for me.
Miles, down by the water. Once again, I noticed how clean the water was.
Marco Polo (1254 - 1324) was a medieval Venetian merchant but better known for being one of the first Europeans to travel the famous Silk Road trade route, stretching from the Middle East to China. It is said that Marco Polo was born in Korcula but there is little evidence to support this. This hasn't stopped the town from using his name. However, it is certain that he was taken prisoner by the Genoese in the naval battle of Korcula between the Venetian and Genoese states.
By mid afternoon it was time to head back to the mainland so we walked around the waterfront while waiting for the ferry.
The Princess Diana motor yacht is 131 feet long, was built in 2011 and had 16 guest cabins. The boat takes guests island hoping. It would have been a great way to see the Islands of Croatia.
Some of the local apartments next to the harbour.
Once we were back on the ferry we had some wonderful scenery heading back to the mainland.
Back to the mainland again.

Apparently this week is Halloween for Foyle! He found his pink pumpkin from last year during a closet purge and now he wants to carry it everywhere. He'll just sit there with it in his mouth waiting for someone to fill it up with his treats. Now I remember why I hid it in the closet in the first place!
Once it's filled he'll run over to the couch and throw it off the edge to get the treats to fall out. It's like watching a crow sitting on top of an electrical line and repeatedly drop a nut on the ground to crack it open. It's a bad habit I started with him last year, and he knows that I'll fill it up just to get him, or rather the two of them, to stop staring at me. I love the fact that it is pink though.

Attorneys Representing Michigan Infants and Families That Have Suffered From Birth Injuries
Every medical negligence case is unique, but there are common types of injuries that infants wrongfully suffer because of a hospital error. Sadly, these medical mistakes often cause a profound impact on the life of a baby.
Conditions such as cerebral palsy affect the victim for a lifetime. While nearly all birth injuries are irreversible, a successful malpractice lawsuit allows the victim and family to recover damages for past, present and future medical expenses. Other damages - such as loss of income/earnings, emotional distress and pain and suffering - are often recoverable.
The following list includes some of the birth injury types that McKeen & Associates, P.C., handles:
- Brain Damage From Reduced Blood Flow/Ischemia
- Cesarean Delivery
- Eclampsia and Preeclampsia
- Erb's Palsy
- Fetal Distress
- Forceps/Vacuum Extractions
- High Bilirubin
- Hypoxia/Birth Injuries from Lack of Oxygen
- Improper Fetal Monitoring During Labor
- Infections/Sepsis
- In Vitro Fertilization
- Kernicterus
- Low Blood Sugar
- Pitocin Overdose Errors
- Shoulder Dystocia
- Umbilical Cord Compression
- Uterine Rupture/VBAC

View Transit Connect Inventory
Are you looking for a versatile, tough work van for your business in the Bradley and Peotone area? The 2016 Ford Transit Connect is designed for work! You can choose from the van for transporting cargo or the wagon for transporting passengers, as well as having your choice of wheelbase, interior configuration, and plenty of features for safety and connectivity. Check it out today at Terry's Ford.
The Transit Connect Van is designed to transport goods. You can have your choice of a short wheelbase or a long wheelbase. The short wheelbase configuration has an impressive 104 cubic feet of cargo space with all two seats occupied, while the passenger seat folds flat for a total of 124 cubic feet of cargo space. The long wheelbase is perfect for transporting longer goods or just more of them--you'll get 128.6 cubic feet of cargo space with all seats occupied, and 149 cubic feet of space when the front seat is folded flat.
The dual sliding doors come with the long wheelbase, making it easier to unload the van with six more inches in width and two more inches in opening height than the next best competitor. You can also choose between rear cargo doors or a liftgate, depending on your needs.
The Transit Connect Wagon is built to transport people. The short wheelbase version can transport up to five, with 77 cubic feet of storage capacity when the rear seats are folded down. The long wheelbase is able to transport up to seven people, or six if you're opting for the fold-flat bucket seats. When the seats are folded down, you'll get 104 cubic feet of storage capacity.
When you choose the long wheelbase, you'll get the option of three different trim levels for your passengers' comfort. You can choose from vinyl, leather, or premium cloth upholstery. The Titanium trim adds standard heated front seats, as well as dual-zone automatic climate control. It also comes with an overhead storage shelf and front grab handles so it's easier for your passengers to keep their gear in place when exiting or entering.
The 2016 Transit Connect has plenty of available feature to make you and your business run better. The Blind Spot Information system with cross-traffic alert uses a radar array to detect vehicles or obstacles in your blind spot or to the side and back of your vehicle, and helps you avoid them. The rear view camera gives you a line of sight into the back of your vehicle, along with guidelines, so you can align with a trailer or just park in a tight spot. You can also choose forward and reverse sensing systems that warn you about objects directly behind or ahead of your vehicle.
The Ford Sync system lets you place hands-free calls with just the push of a button as well as voice commands. You'll be able to use voice commands to select your music as well, and you'll be able to connect your smartphone and apps to the Sync system to help you get about your day. 911 assist is standard, with the ability to contact emergency services even if your phone isn't working. If you upgrade to the MyFord Touch SYNC system, you'll get apps like real-time navigation and streaming satellite radio.
The Transit Connect comes with a choice of two engines. The base engine is a 2.5L Duratec 4-cylinder engine, producing 169 hp and 171 lb-ft of torque. It's paired with a six-speed SelectShift automatic transmission, which gets 28 mpg highway. It's perfect for everyday truck use and light towing, and can run on E85 fuel. You can also fit this engine with a CNG/propane capability. Alternately, you can choose the 1.6L EcoBoost 4-cylinder engine. This engine produces 178 hp and 184 lbft of torque, getting 29 mpg highway.
The Transit Connect has a maximum payload of up to 1,620 lbs., along with an impressive towing capacity of 2,000 lbs--that's the highest capacity of any small van in the market today! You'll get performance features such as electronic roll stability control with AdvanceTrak, and features like power-assisted steering for greater control, as well as torque vectoring control for taking corners easily and safely.
Are you ready to get your business moving with the 2016 Ford Transit Connect? Contact Terry's Ford today at (708) 258-9200 to place your order, or come see us at 363 Harlem Ave, Peotone to see what we can do for you.

Shadows melted with silver rain
retire, The sky is grey.
He flees (in fear he will be lost)
The rushing, gushing clay.
The clay, the sallow, yellow clay,
is but the Net Of Death,
Pursuing fleeing feet until,
at last, they're out of breath.
The sun breaks through the heavy boughs,
and lightens up the trees.
The heaviness thus leaves my soul,
and sets my heart at ease.
Hold My Hand
Shimmering strands of light
float down from the moon this night.
I'm all alone, out to roam,
hear whispers and a soft moan.
The bare branches of the trees
seem like evil threatening me.
The air is bursting with tension,
building up my apprehension.
The shrieking howl of a cat
sends shivers up my back.
Breathless feelings of fear,
wondering who is near.
As I creep along this path,
wishing for courage i don't have.
Out of the shadow steps a man,
saying, hold my hand, just hold my hand.
Well said Tombl.....well said. Thanks.
itd be nice but sometimes cats and dogs don't get along.the world has too many cultures,religions and races to make it fair and equal for all.
there are words,names,pictures,flags,ect. that are going to offend one side or the other.just look at words like wack that have different meanings to different cultures,italians-to kill someone,blacks-when something is messed up,white people from the south-to masturbate.
the main thing needed is to respect other religion,cultures and races wether they offend you or not.
I tell a lot of people like this,dont come to my house and tell me "i don't like nascar so you need to get rid of all your stuff".i don't go to your house and tell you to I don't like certain things and you better change or I'm throwing a fit in the streets of America.
I'm not a kyle busch #1 fan but I don't expect all you that are not to be just because his face offends me,lol.
hope is great and all it wont make everyone happy.
I share your hopes and desires Eddie. I wish the same thing for the whole world. I just wish the world would stop the hatting and killing and shooting. I know what it's like to be on the recieving end of a bullet and it hurts like something you just can't describe. It came from nothing more than hate. Hate and greed is destroying this world and it's growing like a cancer and there's no human cure for it. I really believe Jesus is coming this year but we 'll just have to wait and see. I hoping and praying for the best but preparing for the worst. We're living in scary times.
Thank you, Eddie....it is my hope that all your hopes become reality. I hope that people will respect and care for each other....
A new year begins
My hopes stay the same...
I hope love prevails over hate
I hope generosity prevails over greed
I hope courage prevails over fear
I hope justice prevails over terror
I hope tolerance prevails over prejudice
I hope harmony prevails over violence
I hope knowledge prevails over ignorance
I hope equality prevails over segregation
I hope peace prevails over strife
I hope honesty prevails over corruption
I hope the truth prevails over manipulation
I hope the will to act prevails over conformism
I hope communion prevails over selfishness
I hope abundance prevails over hunger
I hope prosperity prevails over poverty
I hope more people share my hopes
Thank you, Dan. those are wise words and will give comfort and inspiration to many.
During these rough times, we can all feel LOST at times. Here is something I wrote a while back to help me. I thought about whether to post this or not and thought it helps me, so why not share it. It doesn't matter what your religon is or is not. I just hope it helps you feel stronger and or better in time.
We have all LOST things we have missed in our life...
We have all LOST things that didn't matter in life.
We have all LOST someone we thought was our life
We have all LOST moments unlike any other in life
We have all LOST our mind at least once in our life
We have all LOST a job or two and survived in this life
We have all LOST someone leaving us lonely in life
We have all LOST faith in dangerous times in this life
But when I feel LOST, I just stop and look around
I look to nature, the stars, the good things and good people around
I then know in my mind and my heart, God is there always, to help me feel FOUND.
Daniel McCurry 2015
I feel like I'm losing some friends on nn. Haven't talked to my favorite one in such a long time. I do talk to some here but it seems now that when I get on here no one is here so I feel like the ones I used to talk to are losing interest. I don't know if it's me or the site but I miss them all the same. Lonely is a desolate place. I hope I'm wrong but the feeling I have is not happy. I miss you and you know who you are.

Earlier this year I made the decision to go for the chop. I cut off my long hair in favour of a short and classy bob. A decision I have made before, as it's a style that I love. I love my hair when it's short, and I kept religious appointments with my hairdresser every 5-6 weeks to keep the style looking fresh and well maintained. However I seem to have fallen into the next stage of my style craving, and I'm now ready to grow my hair back. (I do this every time - short/long/short/long etc.) Bring me back the long locks!
The only problem is that my hair is really, really thin. It always has been. It also means that the in-between stage - the stage between short and long hair, really annoys me because I feel like I can't do much with my hair. So this time as I prepared to grow out my tresses, I decided I needed a bit of extra help. The reason I love having short hair is because when it's shorter it feels thicker and fuller. I'm not lucky enough to actually retain thickness and fullness when it's longer, so some help was much needed, and I decided that hair favourite Bumble and Bumble were the trusted hair advisers to help me.
They have a whole range of products in their Thickening collection, from sprays, creams and a mousse. But for me I wanted to start at the very beginning with their Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner.
When I previously say I've got fine hair, I've got the type that looks limp at the mere mention of too much hair product - so anything I use needs to be lightweight. It can't weigh my hair down because fine hair has a tendency to look greasy with too much weight and product. So I was very relieved to find that using this duo doesn't weigh my hair down at all, in fact it's kept my hair feeling quite light and bouncy - which adds to the fullness and thicker appearance that I found started to appear after only a few uses.
I've used the same Shampoo and Conditioner for absolutely ages, occasionally trying other brands in-between, but always resorting back to my trusty old favourite. So for me, trying a new brand of shampoo always needs a bit of time for my hair to adjust. Kind of like washing out the build up of the other brand and replacing with the new. So it took 3-5 days of washing (I wash my hair daily) for my locks to adjust. When they did, my fine hair wasn't magically triple the thickness (hair extension style), but it felt fuller, thicker and had more volume on the top. Which is exactly what I was hoping for. It made styling more fun and meant that as I've been growing out the bob, I've felt like I'm retaining more of the fullness than I've ever been able to keep hold of when growing out shorter styles previously. It's made me think I might finally be able to maintain the look of thicker hair, even as I move away from a thicker cut (the bob) to a longer style. And that's not something I've been able to do before.
Being a Bumble and Bumble product means you can expect quality and performance, and these don't disappoint at all. They smell like a salon quality treatment - which, of course they are. And it shows that if they can be used in top level salons, then they can be trusted at home too.
The Thickening Shampoo is £19 for 250ml and the Thickening Conditioner is £21 for 250ml. They've lasted me nearly two months because you don't need a huge amount per use. So although more expensive than drugstore shampoo and conditioner, if you're looking for the top level fullness that you leave the salon with, then these are essentials. I've not used another thickening shampoo and conditioner duo that's actually created long lasting thickness, so these may just well be replacing my lifetime trusty brand from now on.

Harry follows in Falco's footsteps
02 February 2015|Tottenham Hotspur
Harry Kane has become our first home-grown player since Mark Falco almost 30 years ago to crack the 20-goal mark in a season.
The young striker's double in Saturday's 3-0 win at West Brom took him to 20 goals in all competitions - 10 in the Premier League, seven in the Europa League and three in the Capital One Cup - making him the top marksman in the Premier League in terms of goals in all competitions.
Hackney-born Mark joined us as an apprentice in 1977, made his debut in 1979 and went on to score 89 goals in 236 appearances before moving to Watford in October, 1986.
He enjoyed two goal-den seasons - 24 goals in all competitions including 22 in Division One in 1984-85 and then 25 in all competitions in 1985-86 including 19 in Division One.
"It means a lot to me and hopefully it will continue," said Harry, who has signed a new five-and-a-half-year contract which runs until 2020.
"Twenty goals was the next target after I got to 10 and I'm happy to be there now.
"I was on 18 for what felt like ages, in fact, it was only three matches, but I'm very happy to get to the 20-goal mark and hopefully I'll push on again now. There are plenty of games to go and I'm really enjoying at the moment."
Harry's next target is another first – a first goal in the North London derby at senior level as we take on Arsenal at the Lane on Saturday.
"Everyone throughout the club is looking forward to that one, it's probably the biggest game of the season for us and hopefully we'll get the win," he added.

Re: But, as usual -- disagreement in antiquity
Fri Feb 22, 2008 02:13
Oops--pressed some wrong button. Hatshepsut, her Speos Artemidos inscription, says the "Aamu" were ensconced at Avaris "with vagabonds among them". Now, the Aamu were realistically depicted in a tomb scene from the 12th Dynasty at Beni Hassan. They wore their colorful, striped tunics and are portrayed bringing powder for eyepaint to the local lord. The artist made a great point of their Levantine features. The name of the leader of the group is given as "Abisha". One would think that Joseph's "coat of many colors" would have appeared just like those of the Aamu.
Cullom, I don't place any more reliance on church fathers than I do on Jews and pagans. I just supply the info. People do with it whatever they like.
Re: But, as usual -- disagreement in antiquity

Cullom: Do you know of any king besides Ahmose and Amenhotep I during the period in question who was succeeded by a son-in-law? ML: Nope. And Ahmose was succeeded by a son. Cullom: I suppose...

Hello Marianne, I should have said that Thutmosis I was succeeded by a "son-in-law" since his son Thutmosis II married his daughter Hatshepsut. The story of Abisha is remarkably similar to the story...

There are a lot of Automated Teller Machines in the metro stations and in the streets. The larger shops and better class of restaurants accept the major credit cards.
There are lots of restaurants and cafes in the city and they are mostly open daily from 11:00 to 24:00. An English menu is available in most restaurants. Tips are usually not included.
Front desk clerks at hotels, personnel of airline ticket offices, travel agencies and some big restaurants usually speak English.
Conference participants are expected to make their own insurance arrangements. The organisers can in no way be held responsible for medical expenses, accidents, losses or other unexpected occurrences.
In June, the daytime temperature in St. Petersburg is usually around +15 +25 degrees above zero. For this season the weather is unpredictable - rains are usual but the heat is possible, too.
St. Petersburg straddles the mouth of the Riva Neva at the easternmost spur of the Baltic. Peter the Great town planning bestowed a grid-like legacy of wide boulevards dissected by canals. The earliest settlement is marked by the gold spire of the Peter & Paul Fortress on a delta of islands in the Neva.
The main commercial zone is clustered around the artery of Nevsky Prospect on the south bank of the Neva, with the tourist centre of the Winter Palace & Admiralty a little to the north. Three canals divide Nevsky Prospect & many of the tourist attractions are situated along these beautiful canals. They are (from the Hermitage end): the Moika, the Griboedova & the Fontanka canals.
Peter & Paul Fortress: This fortress on the bank of the Neva was one of the first structures in the city & marks the spot where Peter the Great conceived of St. Petersburg as a window on the West. Built between 1703 & 1733 to protect the new settlement from attacks by the Swedes, it is dominated by the soaring spire of Petropavlovsky Cathedral (122m tall). The Cathedral is the burial place of Peter & all his successors.
^ This ranks alongside the Louvre in Paris & the Prado in Madrid as one of the world's greatest museums. Just glancing at each of the 3 million exhibits would take nearly a decade. The vast collection includes Russian art, works by Da Vinci, Raphael, El Greco & French Impressionists. Admission $10.
^ This massive structure is one of the most prominent features of the St. Petersburg skyline & sports the third largest cathedral dome in Europe (after St Peter's in Rome and St Paul's in London). The Mariinsky Palace on St Isaac's Sq., now the home of St Petersburg Legislative assembly, & the legendary Bronse Horseman on the Neva are other points of interest. Admission $8, plus $3.20 for the colonnade.
^ This elegant garden is laid out in rambling English style, surrounded by water & adorned with 80 baroque statues. In the northern corner is the Dutch-style Summer Palace of Peter the Great, the third oldest building in the city.
The Russian Museum: Though not as vast as the Hermitage, the Russian Museum provides the visitor with more than enough art to digest. As well as the Icons, painted by medieval monks, the art lover can sample the Russian avant-garde of the early XXth century. Admission $6.50.
^ This church is a striking edifice, given its architectural departure from the very European Petersburg norm. With its onion cupolas, the Church stands alone as the city's one example of real Russian architecture. This almost exactly opposite Kazansky Cathedral, very much of the Petersburg style.
If you want to feel the lifeblood of St. Petersburg you should take the long walk down ^ . Start from the bustle of Ploshchad Vosstania & head straight towards the Admiralty, whose golden steeple will gradually begin to dominate the view. You'll cross over the three canals, Fontanka, then Griboedova, then Moika, & should stop a moment at each to savour the unique St Petersburg views they command.
A quieter alternative is to turn south off Nevsky Prospect onto Naberezhnaya Moiki & turn left into Palace Square where the Winter Palace stands, then head towards the River Neva behind the palace. Any direction you now walk along the embankment will provide glorious sights.

A Time for Reconciliation
Now that the country elections in the Philippines have been done with, we fervently hope that the new leaders will be given all the support they need from all sectors, to carry out their plans and programs for their respective areas of responsibilities, that reconciliation be the first agenda for all the opposing parties, and that the whole nation be united in working towards a better and more progressive country. The challenges of improving the economy, eradicating poverty, and giving jobs and income for the grass roots level is so great, so that there is really no room for continuing bickerings, and non-performing activities as we all move towards the successful accomplishment of the important tasks for nation building.
