|In the spring of the year, the time when kings go forth to battle, David sent Jo'ab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they ravaged the Ammonites, and besieged Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem.
|It happened, late one afternoon, when David arose from his couch and was walking upon the roof of the king's house, that he saw from the roof a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful.
|And David sent and inquired about the woman. And one said, "Is not this Bathshe'ba, the daughter of Eli'am, the wife of Uri'ah the Hittite?"
|So David sent messengers, and took her; and she came to him, and he lay with her. (Now she was purifying herself from her uncleanness.) Then she returned to her house.
|And the woman conceived; and she sent and told David, "I am with child."
|So David sent word to Jo'ab, "Send me Uri'ah the Hittite." And Jo'ab sent Uri'ah to David.
|When Uri'ah came to him, David asked how Jo'ab was doing, and how the people fared, and how the war prospered.
|Then David said to Uri'ah, "Go down to your house, and wash your feet." And Uri'ah went out of the king's house, and there followed him a present from the king.
|But Uri'ah slept at the door of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and did not go down to his house.
|When they told David, "Uri'ah did not go down to his house," David said to Uri'ah, "Have you not come from a journey? Why did you not go down to your house?"
|Uri'ah said to David, "The ark and Israel and Judah dwell in booths; and my lord Jo'ab and the servants of my lord are camping in the open field; shall I then go to my house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? As you live, and as your soul lives, I will not do this thing."
|Then David said to Uri'ah, "Remain here today also, and tomorrow I will let you depart." So Uri'ah remained in Jerusalem that day, and the next.
|And David invited him, and he ate in his presence and drank, so that he made him drunk; and in the evening he went out to lie on his couch with the servants of his lord, but he did not go down to his house.
|In the morning David wrote a letter to Jo'ab, and sent it by the hand of Uri'ah.
|In the letter he wrote, "Set Uri'ah in the forefront of the hardest fighting, and then draw back from him, that he may be struck down, and die."
|And as Jo'ab was besieging the city, he assigned Uri'ah to the place where he knew there were valiant men.
|And the men of the city came out and fought with Jo'ab; and some of the servants of David among the people fell. Uri'ah the Hittite was slain also.
|Then Jo'ab sent and told David all the news about the fighting;
|and he instructed the messenger, "When you have finished telling all the news about the fighting to the king,
|then, if the king's anger rises, and if he says to you, `Why did you go so near the city to fight? Did you not know that they would shoot from the wall?
|Who killed Abim'elech the son of Jerub'besheth? Did not a woman cast an upper millstone upon him from the wall, so that he died at Thebez? Why did you go so near the wall?' then you shall say, `Your servant Uri'ah the Hittite is dead also.'"
|So the messenger went, and came and told David all that Jo'ab had sent him to tell.
|The messenger said to David, "The men gained an advantage over us, and came out against us in the field; but we drove them back to the entrance of the gate.
|Then the archers shot at your servants from the wall; some of the king's servants are dead; and your servant Uri'ah the Hittite is dead also."
|David said to the messenger, "Thus shall you say to Jo'ab, `Do not let this matter trouble you, for the sword devours now one and now another; strengthen your attack upon the city, and overthrow it.' And encourage him."
|When the wife of Uri'ah heard that Uri'ah her husband was dead, she made lamentation for her husband.
|And when the mourning was over, David sent and brought her to his house, and she became his wife, and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD.
|And the LORD sent Nathan to David. He came to him, and said to him, "There were two men in a certain city, the one rich and the other poor.
|The rich man had very many flocks and herds;
|but the poor man had nothing but one little ewe lamb, which he had bought. And he brought it up, and it grew up with him and with his children; it used to eat of his morsel, and drink from his cup, and lie in his bosom, and it was like a daughter to him.
|Now there came a traveler to the rich man, and he was unwilling to take one of his own flock or herd to prepare for the wayfarer who had come to him, but he took the poor man's lamb, and prepared it for the man who had come to him."
|Then David's anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, "As the LORD lives, the man who has done this deserves to die;
|and he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity."
|Nathan said to David, "You are the man. Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, `I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you out of the hand of Saul;
|and I gave you your master's house, and your master's wives into your bosom, and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah; and if this were too little, I would add to you as much more.
|Why have you despised the word of the LORD, to do what is evil in his sight? You have smitten Uri'ah the Hittite with the sword, and have taken his wife to be your wife, and have slain him with the sword of the Ammonites.
|Now therefore the sword shall never depart from your house, because you have despised me, and have taken the wife of Uri'ah the Hittite to be your wife.'
|Thus says the LORD, `Behold, I will raise up evil against you out of your own house; and I will take your wives before your eyes, and give them to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your wives in the sight of this sun.
|For you did it secretly; but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.'"
|David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against the LORD." And Nathan said to David, "The LORD also has put away your sin; you shall not die.
|Nevertheless, because by this deed you have utterly scorned the LORD, the child that is born to you shall die."
|Then Nathan went to his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uri'ah's wife bore to David, and it became sick.
|David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in and lay all night upon the ground.
|And the elders of his house stood beside him, to raise him from the ground; but he would not, nor did he eat food with them.
|On the seventh day the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead; for they said, "Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spoke to him, and he did not listen to us; how then can we say to him the child is dead? He may do himself some harm."
|But when David saw that his servants were whispering together, David perceived that the child was dead; and David said to his servants, "Is the child dead?" They said, "He is dead."
|Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his clothes; and he went into the house of the LORD, and worshiped; he then went to his own house; and when he asked, they set food before him, and he ate.
|Then his servants said to him, "What is this thing that you have done? You fasted and wept for the child while it was alive; but when the child died, you arose and ate food."
|He said, "While the child was still alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, `Who knows whether the LORD will be gracious to me, that the child may live?'
|But now he is dead; why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me."
|Then David comforted his wife, Bathshe'ba, and went in to her, and lay with her; and she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon. And the LORD loved him,
|and sent a message by Nathan the prophet; so he called his name Jedidi'ah, because of the LORD.
|Now Jo'ab fought against Rabbah of the Ammonites, and took the royal city.
|And Jo'ab sent messengers to David, and said, "I have fought against Rabbah; moreover, I have taken the city of waters.
|Now, then, gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and take it; lest I take the city, and it be called by my name."
|So David gathered all the people together and went to Rabbah, and fought against it and took it.
|And he took the crown of their king from his head; the weight of it was a talent of gold, and in it was a precious stone; and it was placed on David's head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city, a very great amount.
|And he brought forth the people who were in it, and set them to labor with saws and iron picks and iron axes, and made them toil at the brickkilns; and thus he did to all the cities of the Ammonites. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.

The purpose of Cycad Lady website is to serve as a practical guide with the layman in
mind to use in his/her pursuit to better understand, identify and cultivate his/her
cycads. The need for Cycad Lady website was prompted by the lack of South African
web information pertaining to the species indigenous to Southern Africa (specifically,
Encephalartos species). It is not intended as a scientific web site but promises to refer
to the relevant literature available to the indigenous collectors.
As a Collector myself (the Cycads Lady), I know the inevitable obstacles that delay a
beginner in the pursuit of completing a collection of the South African Encephalartos
species. Then, when that collection is finally complete, how to go about getting that
plant to a presentable size and to landscape the collection to do justice for all the
time and money spent on collecting these magnificent plants.
To avoid the same fate I suffered this site strives to inform the layman of the potholes
in the road of collecting Encephalartos (The Indigenous Cycads).
Cycad lady hopes to assist in all aspects of cycad collection and cultivation.

Content note: violence, detention, self-harm
"As a mother, no words can describe how I feel being stuck in this prison as my kids need me more than ever. Why are they punishing my family for something minor I did as a troubled kid? They are tearing families apart. What the Home Office is doing is inhumane and my basic human rights are being overlooked. On a charter flight, they can take me however they want without anyone seeing."
These are the words of Sophia, held in the harmful Yarl's Wood detention center since October and one of the estimated 50 people to be deported on a charter flight to Jamaica tomorrow.
Sophia has been in the UK for over 25 years with indefinite leave to remain (which has since been revoked) and has three children – aged 23, 16 and 13. One of her sons, the 13 year old, suffers from sickle cell disease and there are fears he would be unable to access the medication and treatment he needs if deported to Jamaica along with his mother.
The Home Office has offered her a stark choice – bring her kids who have lived in the UK their whole lives and have British citizenship or join the increasing number of 'Skype parents' who have been split from their families by the UK's border regime.
Sophia's leave to remain was revoked after being entangled in a fraud case she says she knew nothing about and was tricked and manipulated into by her then partner. Because of a criminal record for minor shoplifting, she was sentenced to 21 months but later served just over seven after an appeals judge ruled she deserved a second chance and her children needed her there.
Despite this, police acting on behalf of the Home Office removed her from her home five days later and took her to Yarl's Wood. Her 13-year-old son was rushed to hospital after going into shock witnessing this and his condition has since deteriorated.
The Unite Centre Glasgow reports some of the people to be removed on Wednesday have lived in the UK for nearly their whole life and many will leave behind children, partners and wider families. Despite having ongoing and inconclusive claims for asylum, some will be deported back to situations of potentially life-threatening abuse and persecution.
Many have pending legal cases and deportation will make it much harder for them to pursue them, disregarding their basic rights. Sophia herself is one of those cases, with the Home Office saying she can appeal the decision from outside the country, something which campaigners say is extremely difficult.
It is the second deportation flight to Jamaica since they stopped in 2014. The last one on 7th September 2016 saw 42 people removed from the country, separated from their families and into destitution and isolation. One of those deported described their experience of being 'sent back' to a 'home' they've never known:
"The lawyers in the UK took all my money, and now I have so little I can't even afford a bed to sleep on. I can't find a job and I have no family here. My kids in the UK need clothes and food that my wife can't afford with the small support I give her. I don't care about myself I just want to help my kids. Why hurt my kids too?… I still want to have a life but I feel like I can't breathe. The stress and pressure of every day alone with no one to talk to is going to kill me."
Zita Holbourne, co-founder of Barac UK described speaking to a partner of one of the passengers on the September deportation flight:
"In the background, as he spoke, she could hear crying, screaming and shouting from others on the flight. The pleas and cries will haunt her forever, she added; the heart has been ripped out of her family. She and her partner have seven children and four grandchildren between them, and her partner was their only grandfather. This is one family's story, but there will be many others like this."
Last night in Brook House
On Monday 6th at around 10pm in Brook House detention center near Gatwick Airport, a man refused to leave his room as guards came to take him to another center in preparation for the charter flight. The Unity Centre has issued a statement, drawn on accounts from detainees about what happened that night.
The other detainees were placed under lockdown, the guards strapped on their riot gear and moved in to forcibly remove him. During this, the man's left arm was reportedly broken and he had climbed out of his window and clung to the mesh covering it to avoid further violence. The Unity Centre reports that he had taken a sheet from his bed and was threatening to harm himself further with razor blades. As of 12:15am, the guards were reportedly pepper spraying him.
They said:
"Police have been called by a detainee and say they cannot help. Other detainees are showing support by making noise and contacting outside for help, but are under individual lockdown in their rooms. [We] received several calls from distressed detainees who were coughing uncontrollably and had difficulties speaking, because the guards had opened the roof of the building and turned on the air conditioning at full blast… Making detainees ill is one tactic by the Home Office to make them weak and thus easier to subdue and remove."
It is experiences like this that are evidence of the kind of violence it takes to enforce Britain's borders and makes it all the more difficult to believe the statement given to the Jamaican Observer by British High Commissioner to Jamaica, David Fitton. While Fitton seeks to emphasize that "the UK government always encourages voluntary departure", the physical and mental experiences of detention make the notion of 'voluntary' departure effectively empty.
Immigration detention is seemingly set up to create an impossible choice between being removed from the place you call home, being torn from your family, work or school and sent to a place you have little connection to or try to stay, endure the isolating and often traumatic experience of detention and continue to fight with unequal legal resources against a border regime that will do everything it can to find a way to deport you.
While there is much focus on Trump's rhetoric and policies, the racism and bordering practices of the UK government demands equal resistance. The extension of borders into nearly all areas of social life is being fought by groups such as DocsNotCops, Homes Not Borders, Schools Against Borders for Children and Anti-Raids Network, to name just a few.
The practice of mass deportation charter flights is costly and as such there is a heavy desire to keep the UK's border regime running as smoothly as possible, making fair legal challenge an unwanted hindrance for the government. Weakened, isolated and unsupported detainees whose stories are not heard and acted on by the public makes this easier. By sharing these stories, putting pressure on the Home Office and the airlines that take part in charter flights you can make it that bit harder for the government to live out the authoritarian nationalism of its darkest dreams.
Things you can do to help challenge deportation charter flights: "We must come together to collectively resist the racist and violent deportations of the Home Office – fight an immigration raid, donate to help people with legal fees before and after deportation, raise awareness, boycott airlines and companies involved."
UPDATE: The Unity Centre, Black Lives Matter UK and others urged people to call Brook House to demand the Jamaican man (now named as Darren C) be taken to hospital after The Unity Centre heard reports he had been taken elsewhere but remained inside the center. Twitter users are reportedly being told by staff at the center that there was no serious incident and no one was harmed. The Home Office also denies any injuries.
UPDATE (10:45 GMT): Thanks to crowdfunded legal support, Sophia got off the flight. Staff say the others will be boarding the flight by 01:00 GMT.

South Africa blitz Fiji to break Wellington 7s drought
Seabelo Senatla broke the South African try scoring record as the Blitzboks beat Fiji twice in a weekend to win the 2017 Wellington 7s. Their 26-5 Cup Final win, their first series win in Wellington since 2002, cements their spot at the top of the overall table after three rounds.
Senatla, who will be stopping 7s to play in Super Rugby, was named HSBC Player of the Final as well as DHL Impact Player on a weekend that saw him beat Fabian Juries' try scoring record. He now has 180 career tries to his name.
"I got burned early on (in the final) which doesn't happen very often, but got back to my structure," said Senatla post match.
"It was all about keeping calm and starting again. We have a great bond, the players play for each other. We have one big happy family, and we put our bodies on the line for each other."
Scotland finished in third place after beating Canada 28-22 in the bronze final, while Kenya won the Challenge Trophy after beating Australia 19-17.

'The Book of Eli' sweeps video charts
'When In Rome' and 'Family Guy' also releasedWarner Home Video scored a triple slam on the national home video charts for the week ending June 20, with "The Book of Eli" taking the top spot on all three charts.
The post-apocalyptic actioner, which stars Denzel Washington and grossed $94.8 million in theaters, bumped Walt Disney Studios' "Alice in Wonderland" out of the No. 1 position on the Nielsen VideoScan First Alert sales chart, which it had held the two previous weeks. According to Nielsen data "Eli" outsold "Alice" by a nearly 3-1 margin during the week.
Two other new releases also bowed in the First Alert top 10: Disney comedy "When In Rome" at No. 5 and 20th Century Fox's "Family Guy, Vol. 8" at No. 7.
"Eli" also debuted at No. 1 on Nielsen VideoScan's dedicated Blu-ray Disc sales chart, with 20th Century Fox's "Avatar" rebounding to No. 2 from No. 4 and "Alice" slipping to No. 3.
"Eli" also triumphed in video rental stores, easily snagging the No. 1 position on Home Media Magazine's rental chart. "Rome," which grossed $32.7 million in theaters, debuted at No. 2, although with just 44% as much rental action as "Eli."
The previous week's top renter, Lionsgate's "From Paris With Love," slipped to No. 3.
"Eli" generated 35% of its first-week sales from the Blu-ray Disc version. Blu-ray Disc accounted for 33% of third-week sales for "Alice" and 46% of ninth-week sales for "Avatar."

Readers of this blog know that I have posted suggestions for both Bolivia and Peru, and for the Drug Cartels, to consider the advantages of establishing health-spas where foreigners could come and enjoy a relaxing environment while taking advantage of the healing powers of pure, natural Coca Leaf. I have to admit, however, that until now I have inexplicably missed a much more obvious, much closer to the US opportunity for founding "Centros de Coca Curación".
The recent ruling by the Mexico Supreme Court that opens the way to the legalization of recreational Marijuana in Mexico has also potentially opened the door to a powerful new economic resource for the country, which would piggyback on an already-existing medical tourism industry. With very little effort, Mexico could become the leading center for Coca Leaf therapy in the world.
Each year hundreds of thousands of North Americans and Europeans head to Mexico for everything from dental procedures to fertility treatment to intricate neurosurgery. They are comfortable doing so because for generations North Americans and Europeans have experienced successful, inexpensive, highly competent medical treatment in Mexico. Medical treatment in Mexico is a known, fully accepted option. There are even a number of US health insurers who pay for medical treatment in Mexico such as BlueShield of California through its "Access Baja" health plan.
All that Mexico would have to do would be to legalize the possession and use of Coca Leaf and at least two potentially huge new medical industries would open up. Coca Leaf spas where people could go for relaxation and treatment, and Coca Leaf medications similar to those already being manufactured in Bolivia and Peru. Medical treatment at Coca Leaf spas would be closer, cheaper, and more familiar than having to fly to the southern Andes. Plus Mexico has a huge traditional community of healers as well as all varieties of contemporary medicine from allopathic to naturopathic MDs.
Freely available Coca Leaf medications in the form of teas, pastilles and – almost certainly – some version of Vin Mariani would soon make their way into the world market. This is already happening in Peru and Bolivia.
There would be no need for the Mexican government to spend a single peso to accomplish this. Turn on the green light and Mexican entrepreneurs would jump on this opportunity immediately.
Mexico would not have to wait for Mexican farmers to get Coca plantations established – it would be a simple matter of the Mexican government allowing the regulated importation of fresh Coca Leaf from Bolivia while licensed & regulated Coca plantations were coming of age in the Mexican mountains. Since it takes several years to get a Coca plantation fully productive the imported leaf option would enable the Mexican Medical Coca Leaf industry to begin immediately, with existing health spas and clinics, and even straightforward tourism destinations, simply adding Coca Leaf treatment to their healing repertory.
This activity wouldn't interfere with the powerful cartels either. It would be relatively easy to control where the freshly harvested Coca Leaf wound up, and the cartels have no trouble getting all the Cocaine they want from Colombia anyway. Besides, there would probably be at least a few Cartel leaders smart enough to see the incredible opportunity in Coca Leaf spas, just as I am quite certain that the imminent legalization of Cannabis has quite a few Cartel leaders contemplating the potential of Medical Cannabis treatment centers.
Mexico has no shortage of fantastically beautiful mountain and coastal locations for both kinds of spas – Coca Leaf and Cannabis – and could in a very short time become a global medical tourism destination. However, perhaps more important to the revival of rural Mexico's economy, there are over a hundred natural hot springs that are not used much if at all by tourists and outsiders, known to the locals as "Balenearios". You can find an extensive listing of Mexican Balenearios in a fine book by Mike Nelson entitled "Spas and Hot Springs of Mexico".
While these locally-known resources are not usually set up for accommodating outside visitors, the simplicity of making Coca Leaf treatments available to visitors would mean that with very little effort – a few guest houses and a little restaurant or two – hundreds of struggling little towns throughout Mexico's mountainous regions could transform themselves into destinations for the more adventurous health seekers who wanted to avoid the cloying atmosphere of upper-class health spas. Balenearios are primarily located in the states of Aquascalientes (duh), Guanajuato, Michoacan, Mexico, Morelos, Puebla, Queretaro, Hidalgo and San Luis Potosi, so medical travelers would have a wide range of choices.
This means that instead of having to travel to Peru or Bolivia for access to Coca Leaf for treating and curing everything from Alzheimer's to Congestive Heart Failure, North Americans could travel easily and inexpensively to Mexico. And of course many Mexicans living in the US would be even more incentivized than non-Hispanics to make the journey for Coca Leaf treatment as an alternative to the broad range of diseases and conditions that are treatable and curable with this simple, powerful, natural medicine.
There is also other reasons why Mexico should consider making Coca Leaf legal immediately. It would bring new life to small towns that have local hot springs and possibly traditional healing centers in remote areas. In many cases it would give Mexicans living in the hostile environment of the US, working for slave wages, an opportunity to return home and earn a good living in their home town or village. Finally – and this is no small matter – it would give Mexicans an excellent opportunity to give the Estados Unidos a great big middle finger salute and a hearty "Hasta la vista, baby".
Oh, and just because it would be the right thing to do, the Mexican government ought to pass laws ensuring that no US citizens who was or is a US Federal government employee in any of the agencies involved in narcotics law enforcement, could receive treatment in any licensed Mexican Medical Coca Leaf or Medical Cannabis spa. Decisions to profit from participation in evil should have consequences, after all.

A bet on a potential Overall Majority at the general election is one of the odder sounding bets involved with general election betting.
General Election Betting Offers
- 20/1 on the Conservatives to win most seats in general election – New Coral Customers – Enhanced Winnings In Free Bets + T&C's Apply – Offer Ends 12noon, Thursday
- 4/1 Theresa May to remain as UK PM after the Election – New Betfair Customers – Enhanced Winnings In Free Bets + T&C's Apply – Offer Ends 10pm, Thursday
- Bet £10 Get £30 on the General Election 2017 – New William Hill Customers Only
What Is An Overall Majority Bet?
There are 650 seats up for grabs in a UK General Election. To have an overall majority you will need to win more than half of the 650 seats, then you will have an overall majority. So a bet on an overall majority, is effectively a bet on a political party to win 326 seats or more.
So for example, if you placed a bet on the Conservative Party to win an overall majority, and they got 333 Seats, you would win, as it is more than half the available seats.
While, if you place a bet on the Conservatives to win an overall majority, and they got 302 Seats, your bet would lose, as they would have less than half the seats (although they would probably have won the Most Seats Bet).
Recommended Bookmakers
- Coral – £20.00 in Free Bets
- Paddy Power – £20.00 in Free Bets
- William Hill – £25.00 Free Bet
- Ladbrokes – £25 Free Bet
- Betfair – £30.00 Free Bet
- Betfred – £30.00 Free Bet
Due to the political landscape in the UK, there is only really three possible outcomes for the Overall Majority bet. They are a Conservative Overall Majority, a Labour Overall Majority, or No Overall Majority (also known as a Hung Parliament).
For the Conservatives or Labour to win an overall majority bet, they would have to win 326 seats or more. If no party wins 326 seats or more, then No Overall Majority is the winner of the bet.
In political terms, if there is no overall majority, it is known as a Hung Parliament, which basically means there is no outright winner in a general election. In this event, either a coalition could be formed (like in 2010), or a minority government could be formed, or a second general election could be called.

Effect of the federal estate tax on NIPF landowners
Greene, J., T. Cushing, S. Bullard, and T. Beauvais. 2003. Effect of the federal estate tax on NIPF landowners. In: Proc. Global Initiatives and Public Policies Conference, Atlanta, GA, p. 287
Non-industrial private forest (NIPF) landowners have played an increasingly important role in the nation's timber economy. Nearly 70% of the forestland in the South is owned by NIPF landowners (Powell et al., 1994). In Mississippi alone, these landowners control approximately 66% of the state's forestland base (Hartsell and London, 1995). Therefore, NIPF landowners are expected to provide a large portion of the state's supply of timber. However, whether they do so depends largely on how their timberlands are managed. Forest management decisions of NIPF landowners can impact future timber supply due to the magnitude of their collective ownership.

This blog post contains information that you should read, and by read I don't mean read the tagline on facebook, pinterest or any other social media outlet. You need to actually read what I write on my blog.
It is with great regret that I have to write this e-mail, but it has been eating at me (no not literally) for weeks. I have tossed so many thoughts through my head, questioning my own beliefs, values and importance. One thing I know for sure is I am not very good at taking criticism but when you hit me with slander, threats to stop reading my blog I kinda get upset but then I get angry.
This is MY angry outburst.
Why do I get angry? Let me give you a few examples of how Social media enables people to be bitchy, mean and judgemental.
Example 1: This featured on the 23rd of April about getting lips like Kylie Jenner. The post was displayed on our Facebook page. The Facebook post was viewed 42,000 times. 56 people commented on it. Comments ranged from anger at helping these girls to be "famous", anger for posting something not craft related and of course anger at writing an article about Kylie Jenner having big lips.
Annoyance #1 – The article was actually about a current trend where young girls were using containers to plump their lips and causing harm. This article shared natural and safer alternatives for the girls (who are going to do it anyway).
Annoyance #2 – The article/post was featured on this bath and body blog. A blog devoted to DIY recipes for facials, soaps, creams, lotions and other health (body) things. As it is DIY it most certainly comes under craft and it comes from a blog that has been on the Craftgossip.com network for over 6 years.
Annoyance #3 – 56 people commented on the Facebook post however 0 people commented on the actual article (on my blog) . The actual amount of people who clicked through to read the full article (and thus know its actual content see Annoyance #1) was only around 1600 people. So only around 3% of people on Facebook actually read the article before slandering the post.
Annoyance #4 – If these girls want to be famous for being famous then who cares. It is their life and they can do what they want. Since when do we have the right to tell people what to do? We can guide them, we can advise them but to shun them for their life choices, what does that do? If being famous was easy we would all be famous.
Example 2:
Baby enemas I can't link to this post as I was forced to take it down. Yes – forced to remove something even though it was not wrong. Why did I have to remove it? 100's of people disliked our Facebook page and we were losing traffic at an alarming rate. (Believe it or not I have bills to pay, this is my sole income).
What was the controversy? I wrote an article on how Scientology believes that an Enema could possibly cure Autism.
Annoyance #1- Very few people actually clicked through (from Facebook) and read the full article. Based on the title the judgement was that I was supporting the process and also believed this technique to be true. Had they read the article they would have seen that this was the total opposite of my view and I was slamming Scientology for their crazy beliefs.
Annoyance #2 – CraftGossip.com was slammed for not writing craft topics and that we should stick to craft. Yet 20 other DIY posts went live that same day.
Annoyance #3 – The traffic that this brought to our site (not from Facebook)) was higher than a typical DIY craft post, yet I was slammed for writing irrelevant content that nobody wanted to read. Yet nearly 70% more people actually read it.
Annoyance #4 – Apparently the image of a baby crying was disgraceful and I should be ashamed for showing it. I don't know about you but my kids cry like that 2-3 times a week. Of course its heartbreaking to see a picture of (anyone) crying but the reality of life is people cry. It's not as if the image was of a baby getting an enema (as people wanted to believe it was). It was a stock image seen all over the internet that I used for it's shock value (it worked) but for all the wrong reasons.
Example 3:
This one is about copyright issues. I know how important it is to protect your work, content etc. I have been the little guy fighting for what's mine and now I am the (little bit bigger) guy still fighting for what's mine. 90% of all copyright issues that come to us are from bloggers who do not want us to link to their website. Seriously? You don't want the exposure? You don't want the traffic? This reminds me of this article about copyright being for scaredy cats.
Then we have the other 10% who email me frightfully aggressive letters about how I will be taken to court if I do not remove their pattern or tutorial. I then have to remind them that they gave us permission to reprint their pattern or image and send them proof of our correspondence. If you are wondering if any of them ever apologize then the answer is no. No they don't.
I am a big advocate of everyone is entitled to their opinion but there is one exception.
You have to had read my FULL article first!

Big Brother state: Ai Weiwei's "Surveillance Camera" (Lisson Gallery)
Something troubles me about the Ai Weiwei affair. First, the artist victim. Victim he undoubtedly is, and a brave man, but more architect, designer, photographer and blogger than artist. For 12 years the well-born celebrity (his father was China's best-known poet) lived in New York. There he learned to play the conceptual game, a century-old style belatedly imported by British then Chinese artists, and is prolific in the high-toned vacuity of the genre. "After Duchamp I realised that being an artist was more about lifestyle and attitude than producing some product." Before the ready-mades Duchamp produced superb paintings, but never mind. And when his politicised blog is described as "social sculpture" in the manner of Joseph Beuys, Ai does not demur.
Emerging from his fellow-travelling phase, Auden pointed to the dangers of mistaking political gestures for art: "To do this is to reduce art to an endless series of momentary and arbitrary 'happenings' and to produce in artists and public alike a conformation to the tyranny of the passing moment, which is far more enslaving, far more destructive of integrity and originality, than any thoughtless copying of the past."
Ai's Dropping a Han Dynasty Urn (1995), a stunt to show irreverence for antiquity, is actually a kind of copying too: as early as 1919 Duchamp painted a moustache and goatee on a photograph of the Mona Lisa. But then as Gore Vidal remarked, everything changes except the avant garde. It is not done to say it — having your political heart correctly positioned forestalls criticism — but Ai's works can be as lumbering in concept as they are laborious in construction. Endorsing a political sentiment does not oblige us to admire its supposedly artistic expression. "The work continues to pose challenging questions. What does it mean to be an individual in today's society? Are we insignificant or powerless unless we act together?" The Tate curator's words on his sunflower seeds fit the work perfectly. Like the "sculpture" itself they are ponderous, inflated, pious and banal.
One thing appears certain: that Ai's cosmopolitan status has already ensured treatment less harsh than the 11 years meted out to the Nobel Peace prizewinner and university lecturer Liu Xiaobo, a serious political thinker, though a non-celebrity.
The second false note concerns Ai's Western art-world supporters. There is something a little indecent about the link between human rights in China and the commercialised showmanship of the contemporary art market. Consistency is not to be expected in these circles, but I do not recall the Western arts community making impassioned protests when the Chinese communists were murdering millions. Under the regime so many of them championed, Ai would be long dead, rather than released on bail, and in many an arts-person nostalgia for the Mao-badge era lingers. Most phony of all of course is China's pretext for locking him up — tax irregularities. True, he has pleaded guilty and thereby earned release after less than three months. In a perverse sense they have little choice but to go for him. In the wake of the Arab Spring the country is undergoing one of its periodic spasms of reaction: images of crowded squares give the Communist Party the jitters, and they can hardly leave someone as outspoken and prominent as him at liberty while arresting so many others, of whom we hear so little.

Weekly Update
on Aug 07, 2015
Our speaker this week was Dr. Michael Dugan from Exact Sciences in Madison. Dr. Dugan provided information about Cologuard, a recently FDA approved home test that detects the DNA from precancerous polyps. This test is highly accurate at detecting pre cancers and more cost effective. Additionally, more people are inclined to perform this test than would for a colonoscopy, the current screening procedure for people over 50. Medicare reimburses for this test and the company is working with other health insurance plans to provide coverage. Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths, second only to lung cancer.
Other Rotary news:
- Bill Wambach gave an update on the deck being built at Patrick Marsh. Several Rotarians participated in a work day this past week, in conjunction with youth from Operation Fresh Start.
- Steve Riggles will be coordinating the fantasy football league this fall. More information will be at upcoming meetings. The winner receives a Paul Harris Fellow at the end of the season.
- Jeanne Behrend and Bill Wambach are selling raffle tickets to benefit Patrick Marsh. See either of them at the next meeting.
- The Golf tournament is underway on Friday. Thank you to the Rotarians who sponsored holes, provided prizes and helped at the event.
Have a good weekend and see you Tuesday.

Let's see. There was Bill and Ted's Great Adventure. And, a few weeks ago, we got our own Miami Springs version of Kevin, Aaron, Artie, Steve, Ricky and Justin's Great Adventure.
While many in the River Cities Area were busy watching the FIFA World Cup soccer tournament and the U.S. team's great run in front of our TV sets or at local sports bars, these six — five of them local residents — got busy living it.
Following the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Kevin Hume, his brother Aaron and Steve Florio made a pact that they would stuff their respective piggy banks again and save up for a trip to Brazil and attend the 2014 World Cup.
And, true to their words, on June 24, the three, who played on the same soccer team together at Miami Springs High School in the mid-'90s, along with other Springs grads Artie Snoke, Ricky Ramsingh and another Hume brother, Justin, boarded a plane at Miami International Airport and headed for Rio De Janiero. Despite not having a single hotel reservation or knowing how they would move around once they got down there, off they went on their "great adventure."
Kevin, who now lives in Atlanta having started up another restaurant after the successful revival of Tom's NFL on NW 36th street which his other family members now run, actually went down a little earlier and met up with the rest.
"It was crazy to say the least but all in all we still had a lot of fun," said Florio as he sat in Tom's watching the final moments of Argentina's dramatic penalty kick shootout semifinal win over Netherlands. "It was pretty obvious from the time we got there that Brazil definitely wasn't prepared for this whole thing. The infrastructure just wasn't there and how they are going to be able to host the Olympics in two years is a mystery to me."
The biggest two hurdles that Florio and his crew encountered after landing in Rio was trying to communicate with the natives followed by trying to get themselves to Recife for the USA/Germany game on June 26. They had tickets in hand but getting there truly was an adventure.
"We wound up never even leaving the Rio airport because the native language down there is Portugese, not Spanish," said Florio who is of Latin heritage and is bilingual but not 'trilingual.' "Cab drivers had no idea what we were saying and vice versa."
So the group decided to stay right at the airport and head straight for Recife (about the distance from Miami to New York) which involved figuring out available flights and other modes of transportation.
"Unfortunately there were no direct flights to Recife," said Florida. "The only flight we could get was to some outpost called Joau Pessoa. We just started laughing when we got there because this was some small tiny airport out in the middle of nowhere and it was still over 200 miles to Recife."
Fortunately the cab driver knew the word "Recife" so off they went across the Brazilian back country hoping to eventually reach their destination.
"I was born and grew up in a third-world country (Dominican Republic) so I know what it's like and it was even shocking for me," said Ramsingh who tends bar at Tom's and was busy rooting for Argentina. This country was simply not ready for any of us or this event. Between language barriers, transportation issues and just the overall condition of the country, it was pretty rough. The sad part is that they had eight years to get it together and couldn't do it."
Even after finally reaching Recife the night before the game, getting to the stadium the next day was another mission.
"The stadium was only 15 miles from our hotel and it took us two-and-a-half hours to get there," said Florio. "Between flooded streets (Recife got 24 hours of non-stop raining leading up to and during the US/Germany game) and so many people not knowing where they were going, it was something else. Fortunately we anticipated problems and left ourselves enough time and wound up getting into the stadium just as the game was starting."
Despite their disappointment of the U.S. team's 1-0 loss, that was tempered by the fact that, thanks to a Ghana loss to Portugal, the U.S. team advanced to the knockout round anyway.
"We had a great time there," said Florio. "Ricky, Kevin, Justin and Artie had incredible seats down low right at midfield while Aaron and I were about 30 rows further up. It would've been nice to pull the game out but we were just glad the U.S. had advanced when Ghana lost."
The next day they were on a flight back to Rio where they would spend the next several days enjoying the World Cup atmosphere and hitting all the scenic sites including the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue along with the Copa Cabana Beach, the unofficial 'World Cup Hangout Headquarters' where the alcohol flowed freely.
"You could tell the difference when you were in Rio and when you got outside Rio," said Justin Hume who helps run Tom's. "Everything ran just fine when you were inside the city because that's Brazil's busiest tourist city and the focal point of the World Cup. But as soon as you went anywhere else, forget about it. It was a disaster."
Which again, led to the group's lack of success in getting themselves to Salvador for the first round knockout match between the U.S. and Belgium.
"Getting tickets to that game was never a problem," said Florio. "The problem was trying to get there. There were simply no flights available and while we might've been able to get there by train or bus, the problem was our plane reservations to return to the states were out of Rio and the very next day after the Belgium match. So not being able to fly, we would've never made it back in time from Salvador to make our flight home."
So our designated "River Cities" group hung out and partied in Rio while finding another large group of U.S. fans to sit and watch the Belgium game at one of the hundreds of Rio watering holes.
"Even though it was a little ragged, we still made the best of it," said Ramsingh. "The one thing I will give Brazil credit for is that the presence of law enforcement was everywhere so there were very few fights or incidents of disorderly conduct which made things much more tolerable."
And what about 2018 for the next scheduled World Cup in Russia?
"We'll be ready," said Florio who has now, along with Ramsingh, Aaron and Kevin Hume, been to three straight World Cups having first gone to Germany in 2006. "It's probably the greatest sporting event in the world and the fact that it only comes along once every four years makes it that much more special."

Check out one of the latest innovations from Boswyck Farms! We have recently developed a way to use aeroponics without the pesky, clog-prone nozzles.
Our Vertical Rain System includes a box-like structure mounted on the wall with holes drilled into the front for plants. Then, a piece of piping with small holes drilled in it is suspended directly above vertically stacked net pots. A water pump sends the nutrient solution up to the pipe, and then it rains down through the holes and onto the net pots. Roots eventually grow out into the open air and the rain provides a healthy balance of nutrient solution and oxygen. This awesome system was designed and built by Aleksandra Galczaka, a City College mechanical engineering student.
Work is currently under-way on a nozzle-less high pressure aeroponic system that will provide roots the ideal ratio of nutrient solution to oxygen at the ideal droplet size. This, we believe, will speed plant metabolism to optimal rates!
Stay tuned for more updates, or better yet, come visit us at the farm!

Welcome to Living Prairie Museum
The Living Prairie Museum is a 12 hectare (30 acre) tall grass prairie preserve located inside the City of Winnipeg. Set aside in 1968, this preserve is home ot over 160 species of prairie plants and a great array of prairie wildlife. Prior to European settlement, tall grass prairie covered one million square kilometres in central North America, stretching from Texas to southern Manitoba. Today, tall grass prairie is all but gone. In Manitoba only 1/20th of 1% of the original tall grass prairie remains. The Living Prairie Museum is one of the few remaining fragments of this once vast ecosystem.
The goal of Living Prairie Museum is to provide awareness and conservation of natural areas, specifically tall grass prairie, through environmental education. Download a copy of our Environmental Education Brochure.

Açai smoothies/bowls. Ever since I tried my first açai smoothie a little while ago, I completely fell in love with it and all I've been wanting to eat/drink were smoothies with açai. Açai is a berry from Brazil which is said to have tons of antioxidants and a caffeine-like behaviour, only that it's released more slowly, avoiding the 'crash' some might know to have after having coffee (I know I tend to have that quite often) Most importantly, it tastes super tasty and I automatically eat/drink more fruit because of it, so what's not to love? I found a cheaper way to get açai powder by buying it on Amazon instead of a shop here in Brighton, so this has been my breakfast pretty much every day for a while now!
Colourful coats. (from left to right: ZARA, Primark, Camden Town, Pull and Bear) It's no secret that I've been gathering more and more colourful coats over the past couple of months (three out of these four coats I actually bought this year already!) and I love every single one of them. The sunshine we've been having lately made me even more happy, as the colours matched the weather and my mood but I also really enjoy just throwing on a very simple outfit and adding one of my colourful coats to make it stand out, even if the weather is grey outside!
How to get away with murder. I have to admit, I only started watching this TV show yesterday (always a bit late to the party) but my housemate and I watched three episodes straight and I can already see this becoming one of my new favourite shows! I love the combination of crime and law (that might also be because I've been getting into Suits so much) and I'm a big fan of Shonda Rhimes' Grey's Anatomy, so this really hits the nail on the head.
Jasmine tea & Tiger teapot. I've been wanting a teapot for ages now, as I've never really been able to make more than a cup of tea for myself at a time, so when my dad visited me in Brighton last week and asked me if I needed anything, I immediately blurted out "a teapot!" and he got me this cute one from Tiger. To be absolutely honest with you, I mainly got it because of the copper part of the handle because... why not? I also finally bought some jasmine tea in an Asia supermarket. Jasmine tea is something I occasionally drank when I went for sushi or Asian food in general with my mum, so I decided to add another tea to out collection and I'm actually really enjoying it, especially with fresh mint leaves!
Primark pyjama pants. I'm the kind of person who sleeps in sweat pants (or shorts) most of the time but I always swoon over pretty pyjamas, especially pyjama pants. I got myself a pair of chequered pyjama pants from Primark a little while ago but they unfortunately ripped and I haven't gotten around fixing them, so I got myself a new pair when I went on a little shopping trip with my friend. They're just so cosy and it would've felt wrong not to include them in this post!?

We visit the UN Complex for the first time. I take time to chat with the Secretary General before entering the Assembly Chamber. The picture of the Chamber was taken just seconds before a security sweep and our group being "requested" to leave.
The New York Library a (the first???) Private Public Partnership that worked. WOW!
The Cloisters houses the Medieval Art collection. Built to resemble a monastery it really takes you back to the period. Well done NYC, with special mention to the Rockefeller's who not only purchased and donated the land, they bought the land across the river so development would not take place and urbanize the view.
View of the East River from son Jame's apartment. Sandra at dinner with James, his partner Maria and roommate Jeff. Another great NYC experience was make even better because we met Maria's parents, visiting from Argentina. Thx for the hospitality! We look forward to our visit on our return trip in the fall.

Part 1: Risk and Vulnerability
Hi Theresa! A recent issue of the online newsletter Missions Interlink from New Zealand has an article about the 2016 "Health and Safety at Work Act" and its application for missions.
Hi Theresa! A recent issue of the online newsletter Missions Interlink from New Zealand has an article about the 2016 "Health and Safety at Work Act" and its application for missions.
Brent, you point out correctly that not all problems with people getting along require some kind of psychological diagnosis. Some just relate to spiritual or emotional maturity, and may need pastoral counseling, coaching, or even just plain employment discipline. Some problems with people getting along trigger legal issues, and some do not.
The discussion continues on interpersonal relationships, proactivity, and appropriate response...
Defamation claims against religious organizations are more common than you would think. It's almost impossible to challenge who a religious organization selects as a minister or how it disciplines that minister. So these claims focus on the idea that what was said about the minister is defamatory—something that is not directly controlled by constitutional law. Here is a recent example of a case that ultimately had an indirect constitutional defense.
Keith mentioned three basic actions that the mission can take. Let me expand on those a little. The mission can indeed ...
Keith, your first hypothetical about the teacher with problems raises excellent questions. Here are some thoughts about approaches, both before and after accepting a person.
Having read the first parts of this blog, I think I have understood that a mission has some options for moving forward. Are these the three options? Let me propose a hypothetical case:
Hi Brent, You ask about how to have the interactive discussion regarding accommodation. In the case of your candidate, she has already volunteered that she struggles with depression, so the next logical step is...
This article was published in the 2014 Evangelical Missionary Society's annual publication number 22 called The Missionary Family: Witness, Concerns, Care.

This was very helpful, Theresa. I am beginning to get a handle on accommodation processes. I do have a continuing question (of course!), and it has to do with asking about issues needing accommodation....

|Grandma & Grandpa Haws!
|Homer family!
Our parents spoke as well. They have us some marriage tips, told stories about each of us growing up and again, made us laugh and cry. My dad's portion was hilarious! That man was born for public speaking. He said that while he was thinking of what to say and how to describe his daughter, everything he thought of started with an F. Therefore, he talked about "The Seven F's of Lexi Jones".
His delivery was hilarious, but here's a quick summary:
1. Fun: Lex loves to have fun and wants others to as well! She is a magnet for fun!
2. Freaky memory: She will always remember when she did something, what she wore, when your birthday is, etc. It freaks me out!
3. Photography (doesn't start with an F, but it should): She loves taking pictures and will document your life. Not only your life, but everyone else's around her.
4. Family: She keeps our family connected. She loves gathering everyone together.
5. Faithful: She is the most faithful sister, friend, etc.
6. Friend: She really is a friend to everyone and she will keep in touch with them.
7. Frugal: My daughter is cheap. I don't know where she got it, but she has always saved all of her money since she was a kid. Her favorite store is the Goodwill.
We also had a slideshow for everyone to view. I threw it on youtube for my grandparents who couldn't come to AZ. Enjoy! Watch our picture slideshow here :)
Ring Ceremony:
Having a ring ceremony was important to us because I have a lot of family who are not LDS. We had our parents and siblings (we used all of our siblings as bridesmaids/groomsmen) walk down the aisle before us. My 9 year old sister insisted that we needed a flower girl, so she walked down before Taylor and I did and dropped rose pedals. Everyone stood and Taylor and I walked down the aisle. Although we were already married, it was still a lot of fun to have ALL of our family there supporting us. My uncle Jeff spoke about marriage and wedding rings, and then Gavin and Jenn spoke. Then Taylor and I both said a little bit and sincerely thanked our family members for all they've done for us. We have some incredible relatives. We then did our ring exchange! :)
Our reception was a BLAST!
-Mine & Taylor's first dance song was "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri
-We had an awesome dance party and I made sure we had a lot of Spanish songs to dance to hahaha!
-Sadie Tullis caught the bouquet and Abe Tullis caught the garter. Sibling power! So impressive.
-We didn't smash cake in each other's faces.
-I was really sweaty from dancing! (TMI?)
-We had a photobooth and the pictures absolutely crack me up! Kids are HILARIOUS.
-We had a photobooth and the pictures absolutely crack me up! Kids are HILARIOUS.
-We left with everyone holding sparklers and I later heard that some of my younger cousins were lighting napkins on fire with them. Again, kids... so creative and funny.
-It was surreal leaving everyone and thinking that our wedding day had gone by so quickly.
Jessica Reed was our videographer and did an incredible job! Check out our wedding video here!

Post subject: Don't have my Suzuki yet, but hope to soon.
Dear Friends,
I don't have my Suzuki 4x4 yet, but I hope to have one soon. I am presently driving a Peugeot 306 1600cc model 2000. It is an excellent car, but I have decided that my next car will be a Suzuki 4x4 and the older the better! I made that decision after the last time my Peugeot broke down on the road. I figured out quite soon that the problem had something to do with the fuel pump. But I had no way to know what exactly it was with the fuel pump until I had it towed to the garage, where the garageman's son, a graduate electrical engineer, by the way, discovered that a relay box, which actuates the fuel pump, was burned out. There was no way I could have found this out on the road. And he found it only after trying various things. There was no way to isolate the problem using logic, as it used to be in the old days. Indeed, and to make a long story short, the garageman himself has been an automotive electrician for over 50 years. He told me that when he went out on road calls not too many years ago, he used to send 90% driving away, and towed 10%. Now he sends 10% driving away and tows 90%. I've had it. I want a car with a distributor with points and condenser, etc. I want a carburetor, a mechanical fuel pump that I can carry a spare in the boot, and replace it anywhere. Indeed, one that I can replace the diaphragm would be even better.
That was my first decision, an old car that I can care for myself. But which one?
I though a lot about the WV Beetle. That is a great car, also easy to care for by oneself. But I owned one, which I bought new in 1968. I would say that it was OK in every way. But nothing to get excited about.
I am not ready to buy my Suzuki at the present time. I have gone through many periods of time with plenty of money, and plenty of periods without. At the moment I am without. But I am sure things will straighten out as they always have. Meanwhile, I want to learn as much as possible about Suzuki 404s. That is why I have joined the Forum.
The Suzuki 4x4s seem to have the advantage that one should be able to have a lot of fun with a car, do crazy things, drive off-road in all sorts of places. Suzuki 4x4s seem to answer this requirement. Also, what I'll loose in economy by not having all that electronic stuff, I should gain by low weight and small cc's, in addition to off-road adventure. That is my first question for you experienced friends. Does this make sense?
My second question is as follows. I recently saw in the local garage an old Suzuki with what looked like a carburetor. After I studied it a little more and asked some questions, I learned only then that it wasn't a carburetor at all. It was some early form of fuel injection. I would like to ask you friends if any of you are familiar with this? Is the fuel injection (which looks superficially like a carburetor) electronic or mechanical? Is it something which a regular guy like me can fix by myself on the road or in the field, or would it have to be towed (by a tow truck which might not even be able to get there)?
My next question has to do with the widely accepted and also widely disputed opinion that the Samurai likes to roll over. I have not studied the entire Forum yet. I would not surprize me to learn that this question has already been adequately discussed on the Forum. If so, please just point me to the discussion. If not, please let me know what you all think. I guess this does not apply to later versions of the Suzuki 4x4. Is that right?
In my humble opinion it is just a matter of how good a driver you are. Correct?
Very best,

To that end, let us be as Summit Woods Women:
Walking in Titus 2:3-5.
With the goal that the women of Summit Woods Baptist Church would intentionally pursue, engage, serve, teach, confront, exhort, help and love the other women in the body at Summit Woods Baptist Church according to the pattern set forth in Titus 2:3-5, namely "older women teaching what is good and so to train the younger women" to the end "that the word of God may not be reviled" among us.
For more information contact Jodi Arnold or Kelly Capranica.
In response to the feedback we received from our 2017 Summit Woods Women's retreat in March, we have revised the weekend's Proverbs 31 Bible study booklet to allow the ladies who were not able to attend the retreat to complete the study as well. While you can go through the study entirely on your own, we strongly encourage you to get together with other ladies to discuss what you have studied and to pray for one another. Our purpose with this study is to begin a conversation that will continue as we encourage and disciple each other to live as godly women who fear the Lord.
Below you will find resources to assist you.
Titus 2 Women's Groups
Titus 2 Women's Groups at SW are designed to encourage, facilitate, and spark relationships between older and younger women among our body. Would you consider joining one of the Titus 2 Groups listed here as a further avenue to fellowship with Summit Woods Women?
Titus 2 Women's Group Mondays, 10:00-11:30 am
Titus 2 Women's Group Tuesdays, 9:30 am-12:00 noon
Titus 2 Women's Group Wednesdays, 5:15-6:15 pm during the summer
Titus 2 Women's Group Thursdays, 10:00-11:30 am
Titus 2 Women's Group Thursdays, 8:00-9:30 pm
Titus 2 Women's Group Fridays, 6:15-7:30 am
Titus 2 Women's Group Saturdays, 8:00-9:30 am
Need a nighttime option or a ministry to your children to participate in a Titus 2 Women's Group?
Consider coming on Wednesdays, 6:30-8:00 pm, Summit Woods Baptist Church in the Church Office!
Adults meet together in the Church Office for a brief overview of a gospel-centered book and then small women's groups meet to discuss the material read and practical application. There is also a significant time of praying for the needs of one another in a small group setting. Options for childcare through our nursery ministry, AWANA, and Grounded Student Ministries are provided.
SWW 2018 Retreat Recipe Exchange
During the 2018 SWW Retreat ladies submitted their favorite recipes to be collected for your enjoyment! You'll find a copy here.
Let's meditate and memorize Titus 2:3-5 together as Summit Woods Women. See a number of versions below:
3 Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good,4 and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, 5 to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled. (ESV)
3 Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, 4 so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored. (NASB)
3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; 4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. (KJV)
3 Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. 4 Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, 5 to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God. (NIV)
Let's listen to or read the following teaching on this passage to help us understand what the Word is saying:
From Summit Woods
From John MacArthur
From Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood
Helpful conversations on biblical womanhood:

It is only here in Svalbard that you can experience the extreme north of Europe so intensely. The Svalbard archipelago, of which the largest island is Spitsbergen, lies midway between Norway and the North Pole. Any traveller looking for Arctic sensations will easily find them here (just one comfortable SAS flight away from Oslo or Tromsø). Everyone reaches 74° north, but you have be a bit more intrepid to reach 81° latitude. A few centuries ago, the only visitors to Svalbard were whalers and hardy fishermen. Today it's seen as one of the most strategic places on earth. This is Europe, part of Norway, but on one side Svalbard faces Russia, and the North Pole is lurking just around the corner. NASA has installed one of its most important radars on Svalbard to closely track its satellites as they shear past several times a day on their orbit of the planet. Oil may soon be discovered here, and when that happens, Svalbard will be quickly swallowed into The New North Alliance of far-flung, northerly countries that are steadily gaining in importance. Fortunately, this isn't happening yet and for the visitor, Spitsbergen is still a white, deserted and tranquil paradise ideal for snowmobiling, husky treks to remote radio stations, skiing and of course enjoying the Northern Lights. For those who've always wondered what the hell there is to do on an island hidden deep inside Europe's freezer box, come here.
Our favourite addresses:
- Svalbard Hotell, for modern and clean rooms and a bath tub to warm up again after a cold and long day.
- Radisson Blu Polar Hotel, for its great breakfast with Arctic views over the bay
- Kroa pub and restaurant for a hearty meal in a cosy setting.
- Radisson Blu Pub for fair pub style food and a decent Arctic pint
- Svalbard Butikken Coop supermarket for food and tax free drinks
- Rabis Bua for great clothes from Norwegian brands

Take nighttime habits seriously, neuroscientist says
Laura Donnelly
People who boast about getting by on fewer than five hours sleep should be stigmatized like smokers because of the harm that fatigue can cause, a professor has said.
Russell Foster, a neuroscientist from the University of Oxford, said too many are trying to function with brain skills so impaired they could be drunk.
Studies have suggested that lack of sleep raises stress, which could lead to higher blood pressure and increased stroke risk.
Dr. Foster called for a change in attitudes toward getting an early night.
"There certainly is a culture of, 'Well I only had five hours of sleep last night, how fantastic am I?' In fact, we should be looking down on those sort of things. In the same way that we frown upon smoking, I think we should start to frown upon not taking our sleep seriously."
The neuroscientist raised concern that sleep deprivation could cause risks not just in jobs such as health care and transport, where dangers were obvious, but also could damage the quality of crucial decisions.
"We see this too much with really senior people," he said. "Lack of sleep damages a whole host of skills — empathy, processing information, ability to handle people, but right at the top of the chain you get overly impulsive, impaired thinking because of this problem.
"Look at banking, look at the recent decisions about the Greek crisis.
"We see major discussions going through the night, which have a massive impact, and decisions are being made when skills are very impaired."
Margaret Thatcher slept for only four hours a night as prime minister, as did Winston Churchill during the Second World War — although he insisted on a two-hour nap in the afternoon.
Dr. Foster said late goers and early risers are unaware of just how badly it could affect the functioning of their brain.
"At four o'clock in the morning, our ability to process information is similar to the amount of alcohol that would make us legally drunk, as bad as if we had a few whiskies or beers," he said.
In 2010, a University of Warwick study found that people who slept for less than six hours each night were 12 per cent more likely to die before the age of 65 than those who slept six to eight hours.
Dr. Foster said the evidence about the increased health risks posed by night shifts was also compelling.
Studies have suggested that working night shifts speeds up the aging process and is linked to increasing risks of cancer, heart disease and Type 2 diabetes.

Just got back from a fly fishing trip to the Bahamas. One morning, the sunrise was pretty vibrant and the fish were acting right, so I put down the rod for a bit and picked up the long lens.
Hope y'all enjoy. I also included an image of the sunrise to give you guys an idea of the light I was working with. It was awesome.
