Coyote BlueBook - 1994
Sam Hunter, a yuppie salesman who has everything he needs except the beautiful Calliope's love, confronts Coyote, the Indian trickster god, and his own forgotten and buried life as Samson Hunts Alone, a native American outlaw. 50,000 first printing.
Blackwell North Amer
Part love story, part spiritual search, and a totally delightful reading experience, Coyote Blue is a novel of amazing freshness, reminiscent of Kurt Vonnegut or Douglas Adams or Tom Robbins, with more than a hint of Carlos Castaneda.
Sam Hunter is a very successful thirty-five-year-old insurance salesman. His life is more or less complete: he's got a new Mercedes, a great condo, a 52-inch television - but no girlfriend.
Then he sees Calliope, the most gorgeous creature he has ever encountered. She's exactly the kind of woman he has always wanted in his life but never had the courage even to approach.
Enter Coyote, an ancient Indian god famous for his abilities as a trickster, wise in many ways, in others a total fool. He has just the medicine to bring these lovers together, but after that he hasn't got a clue.
In fact, Sam Hunter was actually born Samson Hunts Alone, a Crow Indian raised on the tribe's Montana reservation. At age fifteen, when he was full of rebellion, a miscalculation with the law forced him to run away. Twenty years later, safely ensconced in his yuppie persona, that earlier life is just a distant memory. Until Coyote enters the picture. From then on, nothing is the same.
From Los Angeles to Las Vegas, then back to the Montana Crow reservation Coyote Blue is the story of how Sam Hunter becomes a brave man, of how he finds love and redemption and release. It is a wonderful, spiritual, and totally uplifting tale, by turns mysterious, terrifying, and outrageous.
It is a cult novel for people too smart and too hip to be part of a cult.

Didn't know what to expect, reminded me of Tom Robbins (not sure who came first) - absurd, religious/sexual overtones (and undertones), definitely keeps you interested! I look forward to catching more of Mr. Moore's novels!
I love funny books and this guy has a sense of humor, plus he can write. Some of his books aren't quite the same quality, but hey--humor is good
Coyote Blue ---- By Christopher Moore ---- Listed is a: c - 2008 Reprint, Orig. c - ? ---- I rated this book as a double XXL (X Excellent), All the Spirit guides having fun here. ---- The coyote is the trickster: both in real life and the so called: 'aboriginal mythology.' ---- This read is funny from start to finish.---- Enjoy the fun! ----- RichardPaul

Some of the things I carried to school in my pockets when I was a boy would be confiscated today.
At best, I would be sent home with a three-day suspension to contemplate carrying such contraband.
A few of the things in my pockets might now result in a student being hauled to a juvenile detention center.
Even if the things I carried had disturbed administrators, I don't know where they would have found a juvenile detention center.
I suppose such things existed somewhere, but I never heard of a kid from Labadieville being sent to one in the 1950s.
The pocket knife that was always in my jeans surely would get me reported to a principal today.
Every boy didn't carry one, but they were prized possessions for the many of us who did.
My father had taught me how to use it, cutting away from my body so that I didn't slice a finger. I still have a Case pocket knife that he gave me. Actually, out of tradition, he sold it to me for a penny because to give a knife as a present risked severing a friendship.
Fights did break out at school from time to time, but nobody ever pulled a knife. That would have been unthinkable.
Another thing that often showed up in my pockets at school were BBs.
They were ever present in my pants pockets from the time I got my first Daisy lever-action air rifle when I was 6. I dumped them daily from my pockets into my jar of marbles and back again as I took my marbles to school for our daily games in the dirt.
What might cause a lockdown and search of lockers at school today were the .22 cartridges. When I reached what is now considered junior-high age, I sometimes, without thinking, scraped them off the dresser along with my change when rushing to school.
Like pocket knives, guns were part of Southern culture for a kid growing up in the country in the decade after WWII. Parental instruction went with the guns, which were used for hunting, sport shooting and slaying water moccasins or possums that got into the hen house.
When I reached into a jacket pocket, matches were another thing that often came out. I didn't carry them to burn down the school or even to light a cigarette in the restroom.
I had been taught that matches were something you should never be caught without when hunting, fishing or hiking. I never gave any thought to taking them out of a jacket before I went to school.
Considering the horrible things that have happened in schools in recent decades, the proscription of such items in the pockets of students today is laudable.
Still, for those of us who grew up in a different generation and culture, the lost innocence is sad.

This is yet another delayed unboxing article, it was supposed to be out last month but my time is limited as always so i decided to hold it back for a couple weeks which has now turned into over a month and then some.
DISHONORED 2 is one of those games that i never planned on getting, but thanks to promotional efforts and the style of my blog, well it ended up in my postbox for free.
So yes, i am now obliged to write an article and even play the game at some point in time.
The front of the box is wicked, it's huge and the colors used are bad ass to say the least. There is something about the paper used too, it feels different to other boxes lately, and no it is not a good thing as it feels more like a normal merchandise box rather than a sexy collectors box for collecting purposes.
The box got some really detailed side art too, wanted posters copies actually, which looks nothing less than stellar.
As you can see it really wouldn't matter which way you put this box on the shelf, any of the four sides will do. Outstanding quality and look.
Back side of the box is a bit more generic although very good with good style and design.
The steelbook included in this box is yet another gem, my god does it look good.
Glossy look with lots of black shades, this one would look brilliant in a display case.
The Blu-Ray on the other hand is nothing special, i mean , look at the steelbook and the manual, i guess you know what i mean now?.
To my big suprise the first game is included in the box too, the PS4 remastered version ofcourse.
I've had the game on PS3 since launch and yes i never completed it as the game just felt "off" when i tried it , and as with so many other games it just ended up in the gigantic backlog.
Will i give it a second chance one day?, well i have to now that i got this one so i expect that it will happen in early 2017.
Decent sized doublesided poster is also included, high quality print with a really good art design too.
I guess it is obvious what my take on b/w posters and the general art direction of the game is, but i'll keep it short and just say " grey , a boring color can light up just about everything" .
The inclusion of this ring is maybe the biggest surprise for me, i mean, first of all it was hidden quite nicely in the box and secondly it looks really expensive in terms of design and colors etc.
Yes it is most likely just "junk" but for a guy who never get jewelry this is cool stuff.
I do not wear jewelry for various reasons but my main reason is my health (a form of arthritis) but i will take it out once in a while and have a look at it, really cool item this one and a very welcome one in my collection too.
Next up is the mask/figurine thingy, a really bad instruction sheet for how to attach the mask on the included foot is naturally part of the package, this sheet is so awful that i actually disassembled the foot etc after i had put it all together to try again and see if i could understand it better.
Everything was self explanatory before i looked at the instructions, after that i nearly broke the god damn thing (maybe i over complicated the instructions when i looked at it?).
As you probably noticed within a second or two, the mask is nothing less than amazing. Colorful,original design and an good dose of attention to detail.
I have a few masks by now and while this is not better than the Darksiders II mask, it is still absolutlety brilliant.
Took a while before i figured out what this was, well i knew it was a sticker within seconds but where to put it and why, yup it goes on the foot of the mask thingy, not exactly amazing or anything but cool that they atleast tried to make me put a sticker on it.
What an box this is, huge suprises both in attention to details and in value here, the Steelbook is absolutely gorgeous and the figurine is a step up from many others. The ring kicks most necklaces and such from other boxes lately. I also have to mention that adding the first game remake in here was another brilliant move.
A great collectors edition this one, only thing missing has to be an artbook.

Poslední úprava: doc. PhDr. Martin Gregor, Ph.D. (05.12.2017)
This is an advanced undergraduate course introducing the students to the issues of market design: how to solve problems of economic resource allocation via markets. We will pay special attention to markets where prices cannot be used to match supply and demand. We will begin by studying matching algorithms: how to match doctors to hospitals, how to design an exchange for organ transplants, how to match students to schools or dormitories etc. We will prove some important results about properties of some of the leading matching algorithms. We will also look at data to investigate empirically (and experimentally) why some centralized clearing houses might have failed and some survived. Depending on time we will also look at issues caused by asymmetric information: why some markets may unravel completely when asymmetric information between sellers and buyers might be present and how this can be solved.

There is a deal existing nowadays about the boosting cost of health care as well as the issues it generates for residences as well as the elderly alike. When thinking about wellness, we greater than probably take into consideration the importance of rest, since we think of works that make certain wellness initially, as well as rest shows up defined to different as a lack of the task. Several studies reveal properly that rest is a required take into consideration exactly how we handle illness, as well as in just how we stop them; particularly the relentless treatment troubles. Regardless of your medical care protection, medical care expenses will swiftly total up to a significant price.
With this in mind, it could swiftly be discussed that the best sleep deals can be found online occassionally. Like anything else in the world, mattresses have a limited life cycle. For the typical mattress this damage of the feature starts practically as soon as possible, gradually benting as well as creating itself right into the forms of your body (probably) when it is your body that slowly contours itself to the type of your mattress inevitably. This unavoidably worsens joint as well as tiredness muscular tissue concerns, makes rest a lot less enjoyable, due to that much less trusted, and also the rest that we need a great deal to remainder and also recuperate from the anxiety degree we placed on it daily is dropped. Discomforts also worse, it winds up being harder to run well, it winds up being harder to battle off health issue. Rest is a crucial part of our essential health and wellness as well as wellness programs, and also the greatest mattress we rest on is vital in our chances of obtaining the top quality of remainder we need.
The inexorable malfunction in feature of a typical mattress is not so noticeable on a memory foam mattress. The design of the memory foam mattress represents return to its first kind, and also it will certainly do so for a number of years more than the regular mattress. Those people with scientific problems should take into consideration matching the mattress with an adaptable framework to increase the head rather. This furthermore aids with rest apnea, an actually unsafe rest deprival problem. Most of the styles supply layers of both cooling as well as helping foam, and also the blends of these usually assist in even more rest experiences.
The benefits of a memory foam mattress are not simply limited to its exceptional support and also lengthy life. There is also the inquiry of allergenic benefits. These will certainly allow you to copulate no kind of unsafe fumes and also will certainly be better for the setup. Each of these selections will, similarly, be doing not have irritant infiltration, unlike the regular innerspring mattress. Sensitive responses after that guarantee to remain clear of that specific drug if you have latex.

This is clever: Susheco, a reusable sushi container that packs flat and pops up
It's amazing how popular sushi has become; there seem to be more sushi joints around than coffee shops these days. If it is made with sustainably harvested fish it is probably the healthiest of takeout foods. However take-out sushi is usually served in disposable plastic trays with lids. That's why the designers of Sushecō came up with their clever reusable sushi tray; they estimate that half a billion takeout trays are thrown out each year.
They have come up with a clever design that you can carry flat, and that then pops up to double its height to carry up to eight standard sized pieces and are raising money on Kickstarter to put it into production.
I worry about how many sushi trays something like this would displace; When I get takeout sushi, it is usually pre-packaged in the tray already. I asked the designer in New Zealand, who responded that "it is purchased 90% of the time by the piece in New Zealand. Based on our understanding of the market there is a mix of both "piece purchase" and "pre-packaged fast food" sushi offerings. Globally, we believe this to be the case also." I don't know what the mix is in North America, but suspect it is a lot less than 90%.
However that doesn't diminish the fact that this idea could make a difference. And there is no reason you couldn't put a sandwich in it, either. You can support it here on Kickstarter. Now excuse me, I have to eat my sushi and I don't do it by my computer. More info on Kickstarter

New Jersey
How We Work
The Real Nature of New Jersey
For all its highways and neighborhoods and silly television shows, New Jersey at its heart is defined by its beautiful lands and waters. The same holds true for New Jersey residents, whose real nature is passion for protecting our wildlife and great outdoors—now and for future generations.

Land and Wildlife
Protecting Open Space
For the most densely populated state in the U.S., New Jersey truly values its unspoiled nature. Our forests, meadows and mountains safeguard our drinking water, provide spectacular recreation and sustain the wildlife we love. As New Jersey continues to grow, we must act now, while there is time, to preserve the lands that will quite literally shape our future. The Nature Conservancy has set the bar to conserve 5,000 acres of land in New Jersey by 2020, including 3,500 acres in "Bobcat Alley," a 32,000-acre corridor between the Highlands and Appalachians that will help give state-endangered bobcats a better chance of survival here. We are also leading a statewide collaboration to catalyze the protection of an additional 70,000 acres through a "shared vision" blueprint of priority lands.

Rivers and Streams
Protecting Our Drinking Water
Drinking, cooking, washing and growing food—our lives depend on water. But dense development in New Jersey directly affects our water supply. More than 85% of our rivers and streams are impaired due to factors like erosion and polluted stormwater runoff. Obsolete dams disrupt fish migration and the natural flow of rivers.
To safeguard our precious water resources, we must protect and restore our local rivers, streams and the land that surrounds them. The Nature Conservancy's plan includes restoring 75 miles of New Jersey's rivers with a focus on the Paulins Kill, our state's third largest tributary to the Delaware. We plan to plant 50,000 trees in the river's floodplains, restore degraded habitat at the headwaters and remove the Columbia Dam to improve water quality and reconnect American shad with their historic spawning grounds.

Protecting Our Beloved Shoreline
More than 1.5 million people live in New Jersey's coastal regions, and millions more visit each summer. As beloved as the Jersey Shore is, it is equally vulnerable to erosion, flooding and sea level rise. Natural habitats like marshes, dunes and reefs—the foundation of our coastline—are also some of our greatest defenses against these challenges. Too often, however, poor planning or weather events have compromised or degraded the natural systems that protect our coastal communities. The Nature Conservancy is working with New Jersey shore towns to harness nature's protective benefits as a way to combat damage from rising seas and unpredictable storms. We are testing innovative ways to use nature, like oyster reefs and living shorelines to slow down waves, and spreading sediment to raise drowning marshes, to develop replicable models that coastal communities can consider in their battles with the elements. Bonus: restored natural areas also provide great recreation opportunities for people and habitat for wildlife!

Wisdom teeth
You should wear a mouthguard if you play a contact sport or any sport where your mouth may get knocked.This applies to training as well. A fitted mouthguard from your dentist offers the best protection. Many different colours are available. TRY PURPLE for a change!

Many teenagers have orthodontic treatment to straighten crowded or irregular teeth or correct jaw problems.
When you have orthodontic treatment you need to:
1. Keep your teeth very clean.
2. Prevent damage in sports activities.
3. Watch your intake of acidic foods and drinks.
Read more about orthodontics
Wisdom teeth
You may find new wisdom (in the form of extra back molar teeth) coming through at about age 16 to 25. The problem is that you might not have enough room in your mouth for these teeth to grow into a normal position.
While they grow, a teething gel can relieve pain. A mouth rinse (chlorhexidine) may also assist in keeping the area free from bacteria and infection.

I am always seeking new ways to look at the familiar around me. Having lived just blocks away from Grand Army Plaza for nearly 25 years, I have never gone above it. From a terrace, I turn to look back at lower Manhattan and, as the sun is setting, I breathe it all in, again.
I was born in Lynn, Massachusetts, a factory town. When I was six, my family moved to Louisville, Kentucky, following my dad's work. We bought a house in a new suburb called Dorsey Woods. As kids we followed the storm drains and forged paths that cut through the fields of Berrytown. My mother was a social worker and physical therapist, often working for free, for the love of it. My father was a human resources guru, spending lots of time in India and South Korea, helping bring cultural understanding to newly "global" businesses. For my brother and I, National Geographic maps were our invitation to the world. Enchanted by the exotic gifts we received from our always-traveling aunt and uncle, our gaze was always fixed on the farthest stars. At 15, I worked on a dairy farm in Belgium. I spent my junior year of college studying at the Sorbonne and Institut Catholique in Paris, France. After graduation, I interned for a South Indian film production company, living in Hyderabad and Chennai, India. When I returned to the US, I moved to Brooklyn. I've been producing film (of all shape) for twenty five years. What connects all these experiences to what I do is a profound and un-quenched curiosity to observe and nurture what's human inside us. I am a romantic, with deep existential undertones. Photography gives me permission, a license to travel, the courage to really meet people, and the passion to observe and honor the most intimate of human experiences and emotion.

What? Another Surrey Quays restaurant? Yeah why not, I love, love, love curry!
I was at Miss Pinky's yesterday with Master H trying to relax but I also had to look at one of her assignments (I got a big headache in the end), she also got herself a goldfish (also called Pinky), which we almost killed because the bag it was in suddenly dropped onto the floor. I am now a godmother / auntie to a goldfish ¬_¬". Thanks Miss Pinky.
We actually all had a hearty meal at KFC earlier (I had no idea they changed the way they served - it's pretty cool!) and I wasn't hungry until quite late yesterday evening. Miss Pinky was craving for Indian food for a month! Hahahah, so we ended up in Curry Garden, which is also on Lower Road in Surrey Quays. She's been in there before, and it was the first time for me so I had to try it out!
|Outside Curry Garden

|Napkins were folded nicely
We both had this starter, a sheek kebab (one each, because I didn't order a starter)...
|Sheek Kebab - this is Miss Pinky's... I forgot to take a picture...
|All the food
|Lamb daghini
|Chicken jalfrezi

The Mystery of Salvation Revealed Through Ceaseless Prayer - from the book The Way of a Pilgrim
- this is an article that was shared with the Pilgrim and is replicated in the book
How does one attain salvation? This pious question comes naturally to the mind of every Christian as a result of two things: man's innate longing for truth and righteousness and his awareness of his tainted and weakened human nature. Everyone, even the man with little faith in immortality and the rewards of afterlife, finds himself thinking about salvation when he turns his glance toward heaven. But being unable to come up with any answers, he questions the wise and the experienced; he follows their advice and reads inspiring books of spiritual writers, and he tries resolutely to apply the truths and directives which he has learned. In one way or another all of these instructions show him the necessary conditions for salvation: a devout life, heroic actions, and complete self-renunciation. The practice of virtue and a wholehearted fulfillment of God's commandments are to bear witness to his firm and vibrant faith. Further, he learns that all of these conditions of salvation are to be fulfilled with deep humility and concurrently, because virtuous acts depend on one another, support one another, perfect and inspire one another.
This process is similar to the rays of the sun, which only show their power and light when they are concentrated through a glass into one point. Scripture confirms this when it says that he who is unfaithful in little things is also unfaithful in bigger ones. In addition to this, to convince him even more completely of the need to practice moral integrity, he hears of the tragedy of sin and of the excellence of virtue. All of this is strongly impressed on his mind with a promise of either a great reward of heavenly bliss or unspeakable punishment in eternity.
This is the special character of modern preaching. After hearing such instruction, the man who earnestly seeks salvation approaches the fulfillment of these directives with great joy and tries to apply and to experience all that he has read and heard. But alas! Even in the first step of his attempt he seems incapable of reaching his goal. He sees and experiences his weakened nature taking the upper hand over the convictions of his mind, and he finds that his free will is constrained, his inclinations are sinful, and the power of his spirit is exhausted.
In this awareness of his weakness he naturally wonders whether there is a method which would facilitate his striving for the perfection which the law of God enjoins on him, which Christian devotion demands, and which was fulfilled by those who were found worthy to attain salvation and holiness. And so, to reconcile within himself the demands of reason and conscience with his infirmity and his lack of strength, he once again turns to the preachers of salvation with the question, How can I be saved? How can I justify my inability to fulfill the conditions of salvation? And how about those who instruct—have they the strength resolutely to accomplish what they teach? "Ask God; pray to God that He would help you!"
So the questioner concludes: Would it not have been more fruitful to have learned first of all that prayer is the source of all which Christian devotion demands and by which salvation is attained? And so he begins to study prayer. He reads, meditates, and analyzes the teachings of spiritual writers on this subject. And without a doubt he finds in them many clear thoughts, profound insights, and forceful expressions. One writer eloquently discourses on the necessity of prayer, another about its power and its benefits; also man's obligation to pray and the necessary conditions of prayer: fervor, attention, warmth of the spirit, purity of thought, reconciliation with enemies, humility, contrition, etc. But what is the essence of prayer? And how does one actually pray?
To this first and fundamental question one seldom finds a comprehensive and clear explanation, and consequently the man who seeks to learn the art of prayer finds himself once again under the veil of mystery. From general reading he gets ideas about the external acts of piety and concludes that to pray it is necessary to go to church, to make the sign of the cross, make prostrations, kneel, read the psalter, or recite the canons or akathists. This is a common understanding of prayer of those who are not familiar with the writings of the Fathers about interior prayer and contemplation. At last the aspirant encounters the book called Philokalia, in which twenty-five holy Fathers clearly explain the essence and the truth about prayer of the heart.
Here the curtain is raised before the mystery of salvation and prayer, and he sees that really to pray means to direct the mind and heart to constant remembrance of God, to walk in His divine presence, to arouse in oneself the love of God by means of meditation, and to say the name of Jesus in harmony with one's breathing and the beating of one's heart. He begins this process by vocally calling on the holy name of Jesus Christ at all times, in all places, and in all occupations, without interruption.
But while these lucid truths enlighten his mind, open to him a path of learning and achievement in prayer, and convince him to apply himself to these wise directives without delay, he continues to encounter periodic difficulties until such time as an experienced director clarifies the mystery of prayer from the Philokalia completely and shows him that it is constancy in prayer which is the single most powerful means for attaining perfection of interior prayer and salvation. Constancy in prayer is the foundation or basis which supports a whole range of spiritual activity.
As St. Simeon the New Theologian says, "He who prays ceaselessly by this one good joins all good." And so in order to present the truth of this revelation in its fullness, the director develops it in the following way: The first condition necessary for salvation is true faith. Holy Scripture says, "Now it is impossible to please God without faith" (Heb. 11:6). He who has no faith will be judged. But it is clear from Holy Scripture that man of himself cannot give birth to faith even as small as the mustard seed; faith does not originate in us but is the gift of God; and as a spiritual gift it is given by the Holy Spirit.
What must one do then? How does man reconcile his need of faith with the impossibility of acquiring it by himself? Again Holy Scripture points to the means and also gives us examples: "Ask and you will receive." The Apostles could not of themselves bring their faith to perfection, and so they prayed to Jesus Christ, "Lord, increase our faith." This is an example of obtaining faith, and from this we can see that faith is attained through prayer. Other conditions necessary for salvation in addition to faith are good deeds or virtues, because "faith is dead if it is separated from good deeds."
Man is justified by his deeds and not by faith alone. "But if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments and You must not kill. You must not commit adultery. You must not bring false witness. Honor your father and mother, and you must love your neighbor as yourself" (Matt. 19:17-19). And it is necessary to observe these commandments together, as the Apostle James teaches: "You see, if a man keeps the whole of the Law, except for one small point at which he fails, he is still guilty of breaking it all" (Jas. 2:10).
And Paul the Apostle says the following about human weakness: "No one can be justified in the sight of God by keeping the Law" (Rom. 3:20). "The Law, of course, as we all know, is spiritual; but I am unspiritual; I have been sold as a slave to sin. I cannot understand my own behavior. I fail to carry out the things I want to do, and I find myself doing the very things I hate. In my inmost self I dearly love God's Law, but I can see that my body follows a different law that battles against the law which my reason dictates" (Rom. 7:14—15, 22—23). How then is it possible to do the works of the law when man in his weakness cannot be justified by observing the law?
Man finds this impossible only until such time as he asks for it, until he prays for it. "You don't have what you want because you don't pray for it" (Jas. 4:2). And Jesus Christ Himself says, "Cut off from me you can do nothing." And in regard to acting through Him He says, "Make your home in me as I make mine in you. He who abides in me bears much fruit" (John 15:4 and 5). Now to abide in Him means to be continuously aware of His presence, ceaselessly to ask in His name: "If you ask anything in my name, I will do it" (John 14:14).
Thus the possibility of doing good works is realized through prayer! An example of this is seen in St. Paul himself, who prayed three times that a temptation be taken away from him; he got down on his knees before God the Father, begging for strength of the inner man, and he was directed to pray ceaselessly about all his needs. From what has been said above, it follows that the salvation of man depends on prayer, and therefore prayer is of primary importance; it is more necessary than anything else, for it animates man's faith and is the source of all virtues.
In a word, with prayer all goes well and without it no good deed of Christian devotion can be accomplished. For this reason constancy and regularity apply to prayer exclusively; other virtues have their own time, but we are commanded to practice prayer without interruption; to pray constantly. It behooves us to pray always, at all times, and in all places.
True prayer must have its conditions; it is to be offered with a pure mind and heart, with ardent zeal, with undivided attention, with reverence and deepest humility. But who in good conscience does not admit that he is far from fulfilling these conditions for prayer, that he prays more out of necessity, by forcing himself, than by natural inclination, joyfully, and out of love of prayer? Sacred Scripture testifies to the fact that man does not have the strength to keep his spirit steadfast and to purify his mind from unseemly thoughts: "Man's heart contrives evil from his infancy."
It is God alone who gives us a pure heart and a steadfast spirit, for "both the will and the action" are of God. And the Apostle Paul says, "My spirit may be praying but my mind is left barren" (1 Cor. 14:14). And, "We cannot choose words in order to pray properly" (Rom. 8:26). From this we can see that of ourselves we cannot fulfill the essential conditions of prayer.
What then can man do toward his salvation when his weakness is so great? He can acquire neither faith nor good works without prayer, and by his own power he cannot pray properly. What then is to be his contribution toward salvation, what is within the range of his freedom and his ability? Is there anything he can do so that he will not perish but be saved? Every act has its perfection, but the Lord reserved this gift to His own will.
So that man would see clearly his dependence on God's will and would learn real humility, God left to man's freedom and ability only the constant flow of prayer. God commands us to pray ceaselessly, at all times, and in all places. This is where the secret of true prayer, of faith, of keeping the commandments, and of salvation is found. Man has the ability to pray regularly and frequently.
The Fathers of the Church clearly confirm this. St. Macarius the Great says, "To pray often is in our will, but to pray truly is a gift of grace." And Venerable Hesychius says that constancy in prayer becomes a habit which then turns into a natural state; he also says that without frequent calling on the name of Jesus Christ it is not possible to purify the heart. Venerable Callistus and Ignatius recommended frequent, uninterrupted prayer in the name of Jesus Christ before all actions and good works because constancy can bring even careless prayer to perfection.
And Blessed Diadoch says emphatically that, if man would call on the name of the Lord as frequently as possible, then he would not fall into sin. How full of wisdom and experience these directives of the Fathers are, and how they warm the heart; their simplicity is the result of experience, and they shed light on the ways and methods of perfection. What great contrast there is between their teaching and the moral directives of theoretical reason!
Reason dictates: Do this and that good, arm yourself with manliness, use your will power, let the fruits of virtue persuade you, that is, purify your mind and heart of vain dreams, fill their place with instructive thoughts, do good, and you will be respected and at peace; live as your reason and conscience direct you. But alas! All this reasoning power will not reach its purpose without frequent prayer and its saving help.
Let us look again at the teachings of the Fathers and see what they say, for example, about the cleansing of the soul. St. John Climacus writes that "when the soul is darkened by impure thoughts, you can overcome them by frequently calling on the name of Jesus. You will not find a more powerful and successful tool than this either in heaven or on earth."
And St. Gregory says the following: "Know that no man can control his thoughts; therefore when impure thoughts come to the mind, call on the name of Jesus Christ frequently and the thoughts will of themselves quiet down." What a simple and practical method and born of experience! And what contrast with the theoretical directive, which attempts to reach purity by its own efforts. After considering these directives of the holy Fathers, tried by experience, we come to the conclusion that the primary and most conducive method for performing actions leading to salvation and spiritual perfection is constant, uninterrupted prayer, no matter how weak it is.
O Christian soul! If you do not find in yourself the strength to worship God in spirit and in truth; if your heart does not yet feel the warmth and sweetness of mental interior prayer, then bring to prayer that sacrifice which you can, which is in the power of your will and your strength. Let your lips first become familiar with frequent, uninterrupted prayerful calling; let them constantly, without interruption call on the powerful name of Jesus Christ. This does not require great effort and is possible for everyone.
St. Paul, from his abundant experience, advocates this: "Through him, let us offer God an unending sacrifice of praise, a verbal sacrifice that is offered every time we acknowledge his name" (Heb. 13:15). Constancy in prayer will certainly become a habit and then second nature, and in time it will bring the mind and heart to a wholesome attitude.
Imagine this: if a man would steadfastly observe this one precept of the Lord regarding prayer then by this one he would fulfill all the other precepts; because if he would pray in all places and at all times and in all occupations, if he would secretly call on the divine name of Jesus Christ, even if at the beginning without much fervor so that he had to force himself, he would then not have time for sinful sensual pleasures.
Every sinful thought of his would meet opposition before it had a chance to develop; every sinful act would be considered less attractive than in an empty mind; useless talking would either be diminished or be completely eradicated, and every offense would immediately be purified by grace from the frequent calling on the name of the Lord.
Constant exercise in prayer would draw the soul away from sinful actions and would bring it to essential knowledge and to union with God! Now do you see how important and necessary is constancy in prayer? It is the sole method of acquiring pure and true prayer, the best preparation for it, and the easiest way of reaching the goal in prayer and salvation!
To convince yourself even more of the necessity and fruitfulness of frequent prayer, (1) note carefully that every aspiration, every thought in prayer is the act of the Holy Spirit and the voice of your guardian angel, and (2) that the name of Jesus Christ called on in prayer contains within itself real, self-activating salutary power, and therefore (3) do not be disturbed by the impurity or dryness of your prayer, but with patience await the fruit resulting from frequent calling on the name of the Lord.
Do not listen to the inexperienced, foolish suggestion of the world that though constant such prayer is only so many empty words. No! The power of the name of the Lord, if frequently called on, will bring its fruit in due time! One spiritual writer describes this beautifully. "I know," he says, "that for many seemingly spiritual but pseudo wise philosophers, seeking false grandeur and actions which seem noble in the eyes of reason and pride, the simple, vocal, and frequent exercise in prayer seems insignificant or useless.
But they are unhappily mistaken in forgetting the precept of Jesus Christ: "I tell you solemnly, unless you change and become like little children you will never enter the kingdom of heaven" (Matt. 18:3). They fabricate for themselves a knowledge of prayer based on the unstable foundation of natural reason.
Does it require much education, brains, or knowledge to say earnestly, "Jesus, Son of God, have mercy on me"? Was not this the kind of frequent prayer that the divine Teacher Himself praised? Was it not by such short but frequent words that miracles were performed? Ah, Christian soul! Take courage, and do not cease to call on the name of the Lord!
Even if this cry comes from a heart which is distracted and filled with worldly concerns, do not worry! only continue to recite the Prayer; do not become silent and do not lose your peace, for prayer will purify itself by repetition. Do not ever forget that "you have in you one who is greater than anyone in this world" (1 John 4:4).
"God is greater than our conscience and knows everything," says the Apostle. And so, after all these convincing reasons why constancy of prayer, despite human weakness, is so very powerful and is surely within the range of man's ability and his will, decide to experience it at least for one day in the beginning.
Observe the constancy of your prayer so that calling on the name of Jesus Christ will receive more time than any other occupation; and this preference for prayer over worldly concerns will show you in time that this day was not lost but brought you closer to salvation; that on the scales of divine justice frequent prayer outweighs your weaknesses and actions and expiates the sins of that day in the book of life, places you on the path of righteousness, and gives you hope for attaining holiness and life eternal.

The rewards of growing up in difficult times
The survival of manufacturing depends on technology. More and more, we are realizing that we can't compete in a global marketplace with antiquated machinery - machines that are 15+ years old. The risk-takers, problemsolvers, and inventors involved with technology developments are worth their weight in gold and need to be regarded in high esteem for their foresight and dedication.
While current data suggests that these individuals were born prior to the mid 1970s, the thing I find most interesting - and even humorous is that by holding to the standards of today's regulators and bureaucrats, these people shouldn't have survived their childhood.
For example, many of these forward-thinking individuals slept in baby cribs that were covered with lead-based paint and had slats that were not spaced close enough to keep them from trying to squeeze through. There were no childproof lids or locks on medicine bottles, doors, or cabinets. And when these youngsters rode their bikes, helmets were not a necessity.
As children, they would ride in cars without seatbelts or air bags. Riding in the back of a station wagon or in the back of a pickup truck on a warm day was a special treat. They didn't drink bottled water but, rather, drank from a garden hose. Worst of all, they shared one soft drink, from one bottle, with their friends. And surprisingly, they're still alive to talk about it.
That's not to say that protecting children from harm isn't a good thing. But it's also important to let them take some risks, deal with disappointments, and learn responsibility. For instance, many young inventors spent hours building go-carts out of scraps and raced them downhills. After a few collisions, they would figure out that they forgot the brakes and quickly discover a means to overcome the problem.
These kids didn't have Playstations, Nintendo 64, X-Boxes, or any other type of video games. Personal cell phones, personal computers, Internet chat rooms, DVDs, and 99 channels on cable television didn't exist. Instead, these brilliant young people went outside to make friends and use their imaginations to play games. As a consequence, they fell out of trees, got cut, even broke some bones. Occasionally, a fight would break out and, besides some black and blue marks, the only injuries were to someone's pride.
Back then, Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't quickly learned to deal with disappointment. It was also well known that some students weren't as quick to catch on as others. And since tests were not adjusted for any reason, some children actually failed and were held back to repeat the same grade.
The idea of parents bailing out those who got in trouble in school or broke the law was incomprehensible. Parents actually sided with the school or the law. In most cases, it didn't take long to figure out that the real "Board of Education" carried a more stinging effect than a group of elected people.
Throughout their early childhood years and into their teenage years, this generation learned that their actions belonged to them and them alone and for every action there would be a reaction. In some situations, it could be viewed as a consequence.
This speaks volumes as to why this particular generation is considered to be among the best risk-takers, problem solvers, and inventors of our times.
I can only hope that their actions rub off on the young up-and-comers in manufacturing.

Cookie Cousins may request certain information that is crucial to completing orders, such as name, phone number, address, email address, etc. It is understood that the requested information is done so on a voluntary basis. Cookie Cousins is in no way forcing one to give up information unwillingly. This being said, not disclosing certain information may not allow for order confirmation. Credit card information is necessary to the completion of the order taking process. Such information is attached to the specific order online, but is not visible. The final 4 digits of credit card information may remain visible to the Cookie Cousins team for verification purposes. Entering such information is done so on a voluntary basis, and is only received by Cookie Cousins if it is submitted willingly.
Removing Information

If at any point you are interested in removing personal information you may have shared with us in the past, you may make a formal request via email at firstname.lastname@example.com. By requesting removal of such information, it is understood that certain services may be unable to continue.
Order Change Policy
Cookie Cousins orders must to be placed at least 4 days prior to the pick-up/ delivery/ shipping date. This does not guarantee our availability to confirm order, as dates can reach capacity and are therefore booked. This allows ample time to complete production from start to finish. A 20% Rush Fee will be added to any cookie order placed 3 days or less in advance. Sundays and holidays are excluded from our production schedule, and will not be counted in our timeline of cookie orders. To request any changes in your order, we will be available to chat on the phone or via email during our store hours. Cookie Cousins cannot be held responsible for any time sensitive requested adjustments to your order that are made outside of our store hours.
Cancellation/ Refund Policy
Cookie Cousins requires any customer looking to cancel his/her order to do so at least 7 business days before the pick-up/ delivery/ shipping date. By doing so, the customer will receive a full refund. Any order cancellation made between 4-7 business days prior will only receive a 50% refund. Orders that are cancelled less than 4 days before their pick-up/ delivery/ shipping date will not be refunded. Partially refunded orders are non-transferrable. Cookie Cousins may or may not reach out as a reminder for order pick-up. Any order that is not picked up will not be refunded. Cookies purchased from our store cannot be refunded or exchanged, unless specifically allowed by Cookie Cousins management team.
Pick-Up Policies
Cookie Cousins offers the option to pick up custom cookie orders at our store location. Customers choose specific date and time from given availability. Cookie Cousins employees may or may not contact customers as a reminder for pick-up. If other person besides customer will be picking up the order, Cookie Cousins suggests that the customer informs the team of such change. While Cookie Cousins does not require photo identification for pick-up, the custom order will be handed to the merchant giving name confirmation on order.
Delivery Policies
Cookie Cousins offers the option to deliver custom cookie orders to certain zip codes within the Orlando area. The only zip codes to which cookies can be delivered are as follows: 32804, 32801, 32803, 32805, 32808, 32810, 32751, 32789, 32814, 32806, 32792, 32807, 32817, 32825, 32811, 32839, 32835, 32819, 32809, 32812, 32822, & 32829.

Cookie Cousins uses a courier service to transport the orders to each desired location, and are not liable for cookies between store pick-up and delivery at location. If there is an issue or concern with a certain delivery, a formal written complaint must be sent via email to email@example.com, and we will direct the message to our courier service for further assistance.
Shipping Policy
Cookie Cousins requires that custom orders to be shipped will be placed with ample advanced notice. The customer understands that the production process is multiple days, as is the shipping timeframe post production. Rush orders cannot be shipped, as they do not allow enough drying time to safely package cookies for shipping purposes. Due to the nature of our product, Cookie Cousins does not suggest shipments over the weekend, for best quality of arrival. Cookie Cousins cannot guarantee perfect quality of shipped cookies. We do everything in our power to keep the cookies as safe as possible, including additional packaging and cookie sleeves. Once the cookies leave our establishment, we no longer can be held accountable for the condition of our product. Any issues with broken or damaged shipments must be discussed directly with FedEx.
Cookie Cousins decorators are very talented and match requested designs as closely as possible. While exact image replications are only possible with our printed image logo cookies, our decorating team works precisely to create as close of a hand-drawn duplicate as possible. Using icing as a medium restricts certain details from being created within our designs. Colors may be matched identically during production, but alter slightly post allotted drying time. Certain colors may be more accustomed to bleeding. Cookie Cousins cannot be held accountable for any color changes that may occur. Due to the necessary drying time to complete each order, decoration adjustments cannot be made on the day of pick-up/ delivery/ shipping.
Cookie Cousins offers printed image logo cookies for custom orders, but is not able to edit the images in any way. The exact .jpg or .png sent to us will be the exact image printed on your cookies. The images are printed "as is" using edible ink on edible paper. Similar to icing colors, some slight color changes may occur on logo cookies. White icing borders are suggested on logo cookies, as colored borders are more inclined to bleed onto the edible paper. The clarity of the image is based entirely on the quality of image that is sent to us. The size and quality of the .jpg or .png will directly determine the outcome of the cookies. Cookie Cousins cannot be held responsible for subpar quality of image, if the image sent is equally as pixelated when enlarged to the size of the cookie.
Questions or Concerns
If you have any questions regarding our Privacy Policy Statement, please contact us via email at email@example.com. We are happy to discuss any questions or concerns you may have!
Changes to Policies
Cookie Cousins reserves the right to periodically make adjustments to any policy within the company. We suggest you continue to monitor our Terms and Conditions for any possible changes that may occur throughout our business.

The perfect way to introduce the Sun, moons and planets of our Solar System.
Suitable for Key Stage 1 and above, this show gives the audience a good grasp of the Sun, planets and moons in the Solar System. Students learn about the Sun, together with every planet including minor planets (asteroids), dwarf planets and the theoretical Planet Nine, plus some other odd things in the Kuiper Belt. Planet facts and info are tailored to suit the age and ability of each class.
The Solar System Experience is suitable for individual classes of up to 35 children – up to three classes per day. Each class will be wowed by a 30 minute immersive film about Solar System exploration – either We Are Aliens (preview here) or Back To The Moon For Good (preview here); followed by a 30-60 minute tour of the Solar System using real time, digital planetarium software; and the show concludes with a 30 minute interactive workshop in the dome to consolidate the learning throughout the day.
The last module of the show can be completely child focused, with the students asking questions about the Solar System, its place within the Galaxy, the fate of the Sun, and how it all works! This part of the show runs particularly well if the children prepare questions beforehand as a classroom activity. The planetarium tour and workshop are peppered with mini film clips and fulldome simulations to give this awesome workshop that extra wow factor!
A typical show will last 1.5 – 2 hours. And as the show can be split into modules, multiple shows can be interspersed with morning break and lunch.
Typical costs for the Solar System Experience are:
£250 for a half day (up to 35 pupils)
£400 for a full day (up to 70 pupils)
This is a flexible show, so if you have a tight budget, it might be possible to run two short sessions for up to 70 pupils for the cost of a half day. And with some creative time management, we might be able to squeeze in three classes (up to 105 students) over a full day.
Travel & overnight stay
Travel is free within a 20 mile radius of Hastings, and charged at 45p per mile if you need us to travel further. And if the journey will take us over 2 hours, we may have to charge for an overnight stay which costs an extra £35. If our journey includes tolls and ferry charges, these will be added too.
Location & space
The travelling planetarium is for indoor use only and needs a floor space measuring 6 x 6 metres plus a height of 3.2 metres. The floor space needs to be clean and dry. Access to electricity is essential.
Once you've read and agreed to our Planetarium Guidelines, please use the Planetarium Booking Form to make your booking. If you need to talk through any aspects of your booking before filling out the form, call us on 01424 420968 or send us an email.

Hi Everyone! My name is Te'Asia. I've always wanted to be able to study somewhere out of the country. I searched some student exchange programs for Europe. I found some that have host volunteer families. It all seems very cool. I know that the price of this is very expensive, but I'm hoping to be able to qualify for financial aid as well.
Since I've been researching this i've seen that all the teens that have gone have had such a positive experience, most of them came home knowing a second language and having the accent. The program website where you can find out information for yourself is called: AFS-USA.
One student from Serbia went to Italy for a whole year, If i raise enough money i hope to be able to go to Italy to study for a year as well. Here's the beginning of Nadja's Story . She has really inspired me. Please anyone who is kind enough to help me with my journey will surely not be forgotten. If you would like to email me, my email is firstname.lastname@example.com. To keep updated on my journey I have also started a blog, stay tuned :)

text: The key factors when comparing deca vs d bol is the benefits vs rewards. Always you have to consider whether you need slow-acting or fast-acting and how they will fit into your cycle. If you already have a stack set up, take into account any interactions that might occur. For a quick recap on the comparison, Deca Durabolin is slow-acting with added medical benefits while Dianabol is fact-acting with more severe side effects. Using them in combination is very common and can increase the effectiveness of both of the products. As with any new cycle, keep an eye out for any problems or lasting side effects. Contact your coach or doctor if you feel something is impacting your body or performance.

Gina's Review: When the Worst Happens …
We owe thanks to Adriane Dutkiewicz for this review, because she's the one who originally gave Gina her first Worst Case Scenario book, and she's been hooked ever since. I have to say, they are fairly amusing even for the older-than-9-years-old crowd.
Gina's Review: Worst Case Scenario Junior Edition Series
My review this time is on three books in the Worst Case Scenario Junior Edition Series. The titles are Survival Handbook Junior Edition, Survival Handbook Extreme, and How to Survive Middle School. The books are about how to survive certain things like How to Avoid a Polar Bear Attack or How to Survive a Nosy Sibling or How to Survive a Mean Teacher. The books give details on how to avoid things like poison ivy and what to do if you're attacked by a gorilla. They also give possible responses to bullies and how to survive getting a bad grade. The stuff in the book is mostly funny, but it's not really very useful. For example, the book tells you how to know the difference between an alligator and a crocodile, but it also recommends you don't get close enough to tell the difference.
I would recommend these books to someone who has a good humor and enjoys traveling or reading about it. My favorite book of the three is Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook Junior Edition. My favorite section in that book is How to Survive Getting a Bad Grade because they suggest that before your parent gets wheeled away to the hospital after seeing your grades, you place their hand on the x so they can sign. I hope you enjoyed this review and read the books.
It's good to know I'll be well taken care of in the event that a bad report card lays me low!

Re: John Alderson ,Arkengarthdale.YRK
In reply to:
Re: John Alderson ,Arkengarthdale.YRK
Prof. Albert Alderson 8/11/00
I am quite sure that there may have been many John Alderson's. My Great Grandfather James had a brother Jonathon born in Reeth, Yorkshire March 8, 1848 however he married Agness Knewstubb in America in 1853. I too am looking for more history and information such as what they did for a living, if they served in any of our countries wars for freedom and there general diaries.
My aunt M. Rylander did a comprehensive search and wrote a book but we want more pre 1800. If you have more please let us know

In openly displaying his homosexuality while serving as an Orthodox rabbi, Ron Yosef has broken a major taboo in the closed religious world that he inhabits.
Although May 17 is to be marked International Day Against Homophobia, the biblical stance on homosexuality remains clearly laid out in Leviticus, one of the five books of the Torah, which says that the sexual act between two men is an "abomination."
But 38-year-old Yosef, who holds an Orthodox rabbinical diploma, believes it is possible to be "both gay and observant."
He first became aware of his sexual orientation in his early 20s, with the realisation forcing him away from the faith and into the welcoming arms of secular Tel Aviv, the gay capital of the Middle East.
But it didn't last long.
He soon realised his faith meant too much to him, and he returned to the fold, taking the road less travelled by many of his peers in the same situation.
In 2008, he set up a website to help others in his situation which soon turned into an organisation known as HOD, the Hebrew acronym for "Orthodox Jewish homosexuals."
A year later, Yosef became the first — and still is — the only Orthodox rabbi to come out, in an interview with Uvda, one of Israel's leading investigative journalism programmes.
Three years later, he could finally say he had "broken the wall of silence in the religious world."
More than 6,000 people have turned to HOD since it was set up with the goal of initiating "a public dialogue in the religious community, among its leaders, its rabbis… that would lead to an improvement of the social situation of the religious homosexual man, within the religious society."
Although his group has won the support of more than 150 Orthodox rabbis, Yosef is not always welcomed within religious circles.
Today he lives in a religious neighbourhood in the northern coastal resort town of Netanya, where he gives courses in Judaism and looks after his flock of around 50 families that attend the synagogue where he serves.
But rabbis who try to "cure" observant Jews of their homosexuality make him angry.
One such group, Atzat Nefesh, was set up in 2001 by Rabbi Shlomo Aviner, a leading figure within the religious Zionist movement.
The group bills itself as a hotline for people looking to change their sexual behaviour or orientation and offers help to those struggling with "contradictory homosexual tendencies in order to bring them back to the right path," its website says.
Unlike other religious gay groups, members of HOD don't participate in pride parades.
Although he lives with his partner, who is also Orthodox, they do not go out in public together as a couple, and Yosef says the life of some homosexuals who live in communities ironically "resembles the ultra-Orthodox Jews who live in ghettos" because of the resultant reclusiveness.

Mark Mofid, M. D., is based and working in the San Diego Area, leading his business Mofid MD FACS. He specializes in plastic surgery and dermatology, offering services within those categories in his office at La Jolla, California and several other cities where he has offices.
Dr. Mark works primarily n his office at San Diego. There, clients can receive breast augmentation, liposuction, gluteal augmentation, facelift, and more. Te offices marry peosnalized attention ad client dedication in order to provide the most successful and pleasing experience at the clinic. Dr. Mark Mofid is a former student of the Harvard University where he received his undergraduate degree. After that, Dr. Mark started a fellowship at John Hopkins University- School of Medicine. He achieved a medical degree and received extensive training in plastic and general surgery. Dr. Mofid also did research in advanced craniofacial surgery.
Cosmetic surgery is widely talked about, and opinions always vary, jumping from one side of the spectrum to the other. One of the most discussed procedures is the gluteal augmentation, but what do cosmetic surgeons have to say on the matter? Dr. Mofid, for one, backs up the procedure and he also offers it at his office. Hard limits apply. However, and Dr. Mark Mofid refuses to overstep those preset boundaries.
Dr. Mark Mofid does such surgery, but he exercises some hard limits and encourages other professionals to do the same. As with any other procedure, there are some risks and things can get out of hand. With gluteal augmentation, too big of a size can be harmful later on as gravity will pull down the implant and cause deformation.
Instead of implants, Dr. Mark Mofid, for example, does not work with implants for gluteal augmentation. Instead, he would use only intramuscular implants, and never silicone. He drives a hard limit if patents want to go above 330 cc, as well. Dr. Mark Mofid believes that no matter how patients want to look at the end of the procedure, he should always perform surgery only when he is staying within the healthy limits of the patient. Health is more important than looks even in cosmetic surgery, says Dr. Mark Mofid.
