This weekend I had the great privilege of going to Detroit to hear my friend, Patrick, preach what will likely be his last Sunday AM sermon at the church in which he has served for over twelve years. I mentioned Patrick's ALS in a post last year called "I Hate Living In a Fallen World." You can read that HERE.
I would encourage you to take an hour and listen to Patrick's sermon. You can listen HERE. Once you click on that link – listen to the sermon by Patrick McGoldrick. I promise, you will laugh… and cry. I will let the sermon speak for itself.

The unquestioned life is not worth living – Socrates
This article by LA Times reported William Lobdell really resonated with me. Among other things, it touches on a few of the areas connected to religious faith that I find troubling.
I just finished watching Deliver Us From Evil last week. As a father of two sons and a daughter, I couldn't help but be enraged watching the exchange with the father who's daughter was molested by a priest. The priest was a family friend and molested the man's daughter on more than one occasion in the man's own home. Watch as the man says forget the term "molestation," that sugar coats it. His daughter, around 6 years old, was raped and sodomized by this monster.
It's one bad apple you say, don't let it spoil the bunch. Then explain the behavior of the church going to unimaginable lengths to avoid rooting out this cancer and instead doing everything in its power to protect and shield these sick, twisted motherfuckers.
I'm crushing keys just thinking about this holy hell. And this is how the church deals with its innocents, its children. Not in my world. Not then, not now, not ever.

To generate an authentic Misplaced Halloween costume of Daniel Faraday, get a dress shirt that utilized to be white. A light blue shirt would work as effectively. Crumple up the shirt and put it below a mattress or stuff it in a drawer to make it wrinkle for a few days prior to you wear the Misplaced Halloween costume.
Thanksgiving Day is celebrated on the 4th Thursday every November. It is normally a family & pals day, then sharing the issues you've been thankful for the year. Wristbands can come into play as properly on this specific day by offering your loved ones some cheap wristbands that says "Thank you" or "Thank you God, I'm grateful", and you bet to see the smiles on their faces.
Also, cheap wristbands come in numerous diverse variations. You can get the glittery cheap wristbands for these who belong to the younger and a lot more faddish set. There are also some cheap wristbands that come in marbled colors and even some come in stripes. For these wristbands, you would finish up mixing and matching two or far more colours with one an additional. You can do this easily with the use of a machine. But of program, this is for the cheap wristbands that come in rubber materials.
Christian jewellery is often common amongst youth groups. Bear in mind the "WWJD" bracelet craze a handful of years in the past? And the silicone wristbands that seem to be to be all over the place these days? Not to mention the ever growing popularity of the Celtic cross and new swings on the traditional cross pendant-which includes cross earrings for men. Christian jewelry is an exceptionally common type of expression between these days's youth, and even though acquiring gold and silver earrings, rings and bracelets for your complete youth group may get extremely pricey, very swiftly, silicone wristbands personalized for your youth group can be purchased in bulk for an extremely sensible price.

Hello everyone. It's been a while.
Some things went on over the past few months that took up all my mental resources. But I have that out of my system now, and I'd like to get back into this. I'd like to get back into a lot of things, like art. My main goal is for 2009 to be the year I start getting myself involved and accomplishing things. To this point, my life has involved a lot of starting but not much finishing. I desperately want to fix this flaw. Also, my heart is suffering right now and I want to channel that into something positive, but I don't know how to do that just yet.
It's late, so I'll end this and write more later. I wish all of you the best in this new year. :)

I just saw Tony Yuke at a table, then I ran in to him (literally, I almost knocked the poor guy down) in the registration line as he's taking advantage of his one re-entry in Day 1B.
"There was a 4-way all-in and I was the only one with a flush draw," said Yuke, "Exactly what I want in that situation, especially in a $155 buyin."

The team's coach Frank Martin urged people not to judge all in SC by the actions of some.
The sight of the flag flying so prominently near the arena caught many people by surprise.
NCAA senior vice president of basketball Dan Gavitt quickly issued a statement about the presence of the flags. While it flew, the NCAA banned its championships from taking place on SC soil. We are committed to assure that our events are safe and accessible to all.
The statement continues: "No symbols that compromise that commitment will be permitted to be displayed on venue property that the tournament controls". Other areas are under the city's jurisdiction, and the NCAA backed the city's efforts to manage actions concerning freedom of speech.
A small group of protesters marred the return of the NCAA men's basketball tournament to the state of SC.
But the Secessionist Party is now pushing state lawmakers to place that flag in a museum.
Video posted on Twitter on Sunday by Sports Illustrated writer Jonathan Jones showed several trucks driving on a road and waving flags.
The group arrived Sunday morning, raising the flag from the back of a pickup truck.
Greenville Police Chief Ken Miller, speaking to WYFF, said that no laws were being broken and that the protesters reached out to see if they needed a permit to protest before hitting the streets.
This regional has dealt with politically charged events the past six months.
The NCAA has had a contentious relationship with both North and SC in recent years. Last year, the NCAA banned championship games from North Carolina due to the anti-transgender HB2 legislation, and then moved some March Madness games from Greensboro to Greenville. That's why this event is being held in our state right now.
In July 2015, the NCAA lifted its ban on hosting championship events in the state of SC after state lawmakers voted to remove the Confederate flag from the statehouse and Governor Nikki Haley signed a bill to officially bring it down.
Normally, it would have taken some time for SC to get added back into the hosting rotation, due to how far in advance tournaments and championships are scheduled - but luckily for them, another state stepped in to show its bigotry.

I noticed this car sitting in a parking lot not far from my apartment. It had been sitting for several months. The driver's side vent window was smashed and the driver's side interior had some water damage, but the interior looked in remarkably good condition otherwise. I left a note on the windshield, "If you'd like to sell this beautiful thing please call me..."
A couple of weeks passed and I'd basically forgotten about my note when a guy called talking about an Imperial he was trying to sell. I'd been looking at so many online I didn't know which one he was talking about until he told me where it was sitting. "Oh yeah, THAT one! How much?"
"12 - 1500."
"Wow. That's a steal."
Of course, I didn't know if it ran, though he said it had 6 or 8 months before when it had been parked. But when I told my girlfriend the price she wanted it. Eventually the owner came to town and told us a bit about how he'd inherited it but couldn't get it down to Florida where he lived. We bought the car, along with a book of everything that had been done with the car since about 1970.
More pictures:
6/14/2000 I bought a new battery and started her up. She ran ok in park,
no stalling or knocks or anything. Eventually I figured out how to get
the pushbutton transmission into neutral and checked the fluid level. She needed
a bunch of fluid but I couldn't find any major leaks. Apparently it had just
sat there too long.
I couldn't get the beast to steer. Having driven a 1971 Chrysler Newport 30 miles without power steering, I knew it would have to be investigated. Once I figured out where the power steering fluid resevoir was, I filled it up and it turned perfectly. Again, no leaks!
I filled the brake fluid resevoir and drove it around the parking lot. She was still jumpey and didn't like to move or stop smoothly.It needs to be driven a bit to wear off all the rust and dust of sitting so long.
6/26/2000 I didn't trust driving it yet, so I had it towed to a mechanic. He took one look at it and told me the front suspension was shot. I thought (more like hoped) it was just the shocks. His investigation determined it was the torsion bars, which needed replacing on both sides. I ordered them used from Mopar Restos up in Summerville, Ga. (706) 857-2832 Frank is a one man operation and a super nice guy, but he ain't cheap! On the up side, he does guarantee any part he sells.Once the new torsion bars were in the car no longer looked like a low-rider! The mechanic also replaced the spark plugs and gave it a once-over. He said the brakes are fine and to give it a test drive.
8/4/2000 I finally got around to driving it. The suspension was fine, the brakes were fair, but the engine continued to skip. The mechanic hadn't been able to nail down the problem but after talking to the folks on the Imperial Mailing List I got some leads. Apparently it's common for the power brake booster to rob the vacuum from one of the cylinders.
The transmission is still a little sticky too and probably needs to be drained, refilled, and a new filter installed. The guages don't work properly, nor does the radio but it may be something as simple as the fuses. I ordered a replacement vent window and assembly from Hoffmeister's Imperial Heaven - a massive yard for Imperials only. Super nice, but you pay for the specialization: http://www.imperialheaven.com/
8/11/2000 The new vent window went in fine. The driver's side door panel was shot so I didn't bother to have it put back on. It needs a replacement window motor for that side anyway. But my mechanic couldn't trace the problem with it skipping. It sounds like it's starved for gas and can't create a good vacuum. He checked he power brake booster and disconnected every vacuum line to check them all, but nothing seemed to help. Either it needs a new carb, or the motor can't create a good vacuum for the carb anymore and it needs a rebuild. It'll run about $400 to replace the carb, an expensive risk but if the engine needs rebuilding we'd want a new carb anyway. Hmmm....
12/1/2000 We decided to start with the new carb. That solved the vacuum leak problem but it wouldn't stop skipping. A new distributor solved that problem, but it still wouldn't run as smoothly as it should. I put super unleaded gas in her and she ran better than she ever has so it may just need some more tuning/adjustment. Unfortunately I decided to put this car on the back burner for a bit and work on my other car, a 69 Ford Thunderbird.
6/1/2001 After running into problems with the Thunderbird I decided I couldn't afford both cars. The Imperial has to go. I tried selling her on ebay but the high bidder wouldn't return my emails. Then I got laid off so I got a bit more desperate and finally let her go for $1200 back in November 2001. I actually miss it taking up the space in the yard but hopefully the new owner will get her running again.

general Imperial questions like how to find parts or how to fix
1. If it's not listed on this site I don't know where it is.
2. We're not mechanics and know very little about how to fix anything. If I didn't say how I did it on this site, I probably didn't do it myself but paid someone else to.
3. I don't have this car any more, and haven't owned it in years, so I don't keep up with Mopar or Imperial stuff any more. Sorry, I'm a Ford Thunderbird owner now.
But if you want to contact
us and talk about your car, please do!

Rare full moon to fall on Christmas Day – but will it bring festive fear?
CHRISTMAS Day will be lit up by a rare full moon this year for the first time in 38 years – but will it bring festive fear?
Scientists at space agency NASA confirmed a "Full Cold Moon" event will take place on the big day.
The last time Christmas Day was graced with a full moon was in 1977.
And the next one will happen in 2034.
But does it mean Christmas Day will go without a hitch?
There are various myths and legends surrounding full moons.
Some believe full moons coincide with an increase in bizarre behaviour, including sleepwalking, violence, suicide and people turning in to werewolves.
"As we look at the moon on such an occasion, it's worth remembering that the moon is more than just a celestial neighbour"John Keller at NASA
Just a day before, on Christmas Eve, a huge asteroid is expected to brush past Earth.
The 1.5-mile wide rock – named 2003 SD220 – is on a NASA warn list and astronomers believe it could cause "significant regional damage" if it strikes the planet.
The rare Christmas Day full moon spectacle also happens to fall in the same year as the Blood Moon phenomenon.
In September, self-styled prophets warned mankind could be wiped out, claiming the event would trigger world-ending earthquakes.
Rev Efraid Rodriguez claimed he had a vision of an asteroid striking the sea near Puerto Rico.
NASA currently has a spacecraft circumnavigating the moon.
The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has been investigating the lunar surface since 2009.
John Keller, from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Centre in Maryland, said: "As we look at the moon on such an occasion, it's worth remembering that the moon is more than just a celestial neighbour.
"The geologic history of the moon and Earth are intimately tied together such that the Earth would be a dramatically different planet without the moon."

Complex Microfluidics and Biomaterials
In biology most fluids exhibit a very unusual and complex flow behavior. At the same time the flow is confined most times to a microscale. The central techniques used here are different microfluidic devices based on the soft lithography technique and high resolution microscopy. We develop approaches to quantify the complex viscous behaviour of such fluids and apply it to unravel the natue of biomaterial production process such as found in the spider silk thread formation.

The drawings that create the sides of these trucks are extraordinary, and like yesterday, I received them in email. But for some reason, coming up with legitimate references to them was tough. No mention of the artist or the dates. BUT, many of the postings that I found of these photos also included the hokey "Chinese Proverb" at the end. What's up with that?
Enter Snopes, that great buster of rumors, legends and general hokiness, with the correct information. These trucks are actually digital mock-ups, although the winning entries were eventually made into canvas truck sides. They date back to a 2005 German advertising contest. Here's the link for more info.
Disclaimer to NWFL59's Blog: No disrepect intended; I enjoyed many of your blog posts. I linked to your photo post because it was one of the nicest I found. My aim is at hokey email messages. Like this.

5 Ways To Improve Your Privacy At Home8:00:00 AM
- Cordless Blinds – Modern screening focuses on functionality, and the days of ropes and pulleys are long gone, with motorised units that have covered mechanisms that allow for fine tuning of shading and privacy. The best way to source these is to browse online, where you will find a wide array of made to measure blinds, and with both horizontal and vertical designs, there will be something just right. You might prefer the timeless look of real timber, or perhaps a composite material, and the choice of colours is only limited to your imagination.
- Exterior Window Shutters – These come in stylish timber or anodised aluminium, and with bespoke creations, they can be tailored to suit your window opening styles. Plantation shutters are not only stylish, they are very functional, and with adjustable slats, you control the amount of light that enters the room.
- Window Tints – This is one are that technology has given us efficient window tints that reflect the heat away, keeping the interior cooler in the summer months, and with reflective finishes, you can have 100% visibility and complete privacy. You can even have an opaque design, with slats of clear glass to offer the required amount of visibility, and with the right combination, you can achieve every effective screening at an affordable cost. There are plenty of benefits of window tints in the home, which is a very eco-friendly way to improve seclusion.
- Window Awnings – These are very stylish and will no doubt add a touch of elegance to any property, but with the right design, they can also give you effective shading. Retractable units allow for fine adjustment, and with a matching patio awning, the look is complete.
- The Right Interior and Exterior Lighting – LED solutions make domestic lighting a very creative addition to the overall ambience, and aside from creating a pleasant environment, the right lighting can also improve seclusion. For those who would like some inspiration, there is a guide to home interior lighting online with some great ideas.
Lots of love

Fantastic tips! I'm withoit curtains in most of the rooms and don't really mind if the house opposite sees inside. Most of them have their blinds down 24/7 and I have never seen anyone peeking out. I need a lot of light and as much natural light as possible.ReplyDelete
Great ideas. I have a lot of privacy at home. Too much actually, I prefer the windows open and the natural sunlight shining through. But I could use some ideas for my RV which I will incorporate.ReplyDelete

Privacy is so important; since reading your blog I am looking for blinds as I always leave curtains open. I get your post and thanks for being an eye openerReplyDelete

the intervention of an angelic woman, towards whom he felt an almost religious veneration. "`The portrait of this woman, whom I saw a few years ago, as well as that of the man whom I hold in the greatest reverence, were painted by me from memory, and have been placed in the Red Room in the Rue Saint-Francois-- to be gratefully valued, I hope, by the descendants of my family.'" For some moments Gabriel had become more and more attentive to the reading of this testament. He thought within himself by how strange a coincidence one of his ancestors had, two centuries before, broken with the Society of Jesus, as he himself had just done; and that from this rupture, two centuries old, dated also that species of hatred with which the Society of Jesus had always pursued his family. Nor did the young priest find it less strange that this inheritance, transmitted to him after a lapse of a hundred and fifty years, from one of his kindred (the victim of the Society of Jesus), should return by a voluntary act to the coffers of this same society. When the notary read the passage relative to the two portraits, Gabriel, who, like Father d'Aigrigny, sat with his back towards the pictures, turned round to look at them. Hardly had the missionary cast his eyes on the portrait of the woman, than he uttered a loud cry of surprise, and almost terror. The notary paused in his reading, and looked uneasily at the young priest. CHAPTER XXIV. THE LAST STROKE OF NOON. At the cry uttered by Gabriel, the notary had stopped reading the testament, and Father d'Aigrigny hastily drew near the young priest. The latter rose trembling from his seat and gazed with increasing stupor at the female portrait. Then he said in a low voice, as if speaking to himself. "Good Heaven! is it possible that nature can produce such resemblances? Those eyes--so proud and yet so sad--that forehead--that pale complexion--yes, all her features, are the same--all of them!" "My dear son, what is the matter?" said Father d'Aigrigny, as astonished as Samuel and the notary. "Eight months ago," replied the missionary, in a voice of deep emotion, without once taking his eyes from the picture, "I was in the power of the Indians, in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. They had crucified, and were beginning to scalp me; I was on the point of death, when Divine Providence sent me unexpected aid--sent me this woman for a deliverer." "That woman!" cried Samuel, Father d'Aigrigny, and the notary, all together. Rodin alone appeared completely indifferent to this episode of the picture. His face contracted with angry impatience, he bit his nails to the quick, as he contemplated with agony the slow progress of the hands of his watch. "What! that woman saved your life?" resumed Father d'Aigrigny. "Yes, this woman," replied Gabriel, in a still lower and more trembling voice; "this woman--or rather a woman so much resembling her, that if this picture had not been here for a century and a half, I should have felt sure it was the same--nor can I explain to myself that so striking a resemblance could be the effect of chance. Well," added he, after a moment's silence, as he heaved a profound sigh, "the mysteries of Nature, and the will of God, are impenetrable." Gabriel fell back into his chair, in the midst of a general silence, which was broken by Father d'Aigrigny saying, "It is a case of extraordinary resemblance; that is all, my dear son. Only, the natural gratitude which you feel towards your benefactress, makes you take a deep interest in this singular coincidence." Rodin, bursting with impatience, here said to the notary, by whose side he stood, "It seems to me, sir, that all this little romance has nothing to do with the testament." "You are right," answered the notary, resuming his seat; "but the fact is so extraordinary, and as you say, romantic, that one cannot help sharing in this gentleman's astonishment." He pointed to Gabriel, who, with his elbow resting on the arms of the chair, leaned his forehead upon his hand, apparently quite absorbed in thought. The notary continued the reading of the will, as follows: "'Such are the persecutions to which my family has been exposed on the part of the Society of Jesus. "`The Society possesses at this hour the whole of my confiscated property. I am about to die. May its hatred perish with me, and spare my kindred, whose fate at this solemn moment is my last and only thought. "`This morning I sent for a man of long tried probity Isaac Samuel. He owes his life to me, and every day I congratulate myself on having been able to preserve to the world so honest and excellent a creature. "`Before the confiscation of my property, Isaac Samuel had long managed it with as much intelligence as uprightness. I have entrusted him with the fifty thousand crowns, returned to me by a faithful friend. Isaac Samuel, and his descendants after him, to whom he will leave this debt of gratitude, will invest the above sum, and allow it to accumulate, until the expiration of the hundred and fiftieth year from this time. "`The amount thus accumulated may become enormous, and constitute a royal fortune, if no unfavorable event should occur. May my descendants attend to my wishes, as to the division and employment of this immense sum! "`In a century and a half, there happen so many changes, so many varieties of fortunes, such a rise and fall in the condition of the successive generations of a family, that probably, a hundred and fifty years hence, my descendants will belong to various classes of society, and thus represent the divers social elements of their time. "`There may, perhaps, be among them men of great intelligence great courage, or great virtue--learned men, or names illustrious in arts and arms. There may, perhaps, also be obscure workmen, or humble citizens-- perhaps, also, alas! great criminals. "`However, this may be, my most earnest desire is that my descendants should combine together, and, reconstituting one family, by a close and sincere union, put into practice the divine words of Christ, "Love ye one another." "`This union would have a salutary tendency; for it seems to me that upon union, upon the association of men together, must depend the future happiness of mankind. "`The Company, which so long persecuted my family, is one of the most striking examples of the power of association, even when applied to evil. "`There is something so fruitful and divine in this principle, that it sometimes forces to good the worst and most dangerous combinations. "`Thus, the missions have thrown a scanty but pure and generous light on the darkness of this Company of Jesus--founded with the detestable and impious aim of destroying, by a homicidal education, all will, thought, liberty, and intelligence, in the people, so as to deliver them, trembling, superstitious, brutal, and helpless, to the despotism of kings, governed in their turn by confessors belonging to the Society.'" At this passage of the will, there was another strange look exchanged between Gabriel and Father d'Aigrigny. The notary continued: "`If a perverse association, based upon the degradation of humanity, upon fear and despotism, and followed by the maledictions of the people, has survived for centuries, and often governed the world by craft and terror- -how would it be with an association, which, taking fraternity and evangelic love for its means, had for its end to deliver man and woman from all degrading slavery, to invite to the enjoyment of terrestrial happiness those who have hitherto known nothing of life but its sorrows and miseries, and to glorify and enrich the labor that feeds the state?-- to enlighten those whom ignorance has depraved?--to favor the free expansion of all the passions, which God, in His infinite wisdom, and inexhaustible goodness, gave to man as so many powerful levers?--to sanctify all the gifts of Heaven: love, maternity, strength, intelligence, beauty, genius?--to make men truly religious, and deeply grateful to their Creator, by making them understand the splendors of Nature, and bestowing on them their rightful share in the treasures which have been poured upon us? "'Oh! if it be Heaven's will that, in a century and a half, the descendants of my family, faithful to the last wishes of a heart that loved humanity, meet in this sacred union!--if it be Heaven's will that amongst them be found charitable and passionate souls, full of commiseration for those who suffer, and lofty minds, ardent for liberty! warm and eloquent natures! resolute characters! women, who unite beauty and wit with goodness--oh! then, how fruitful, how powerful will be the harmonious union of all these ideas, and influences, and forces--of all these attractions grouped round that princely fortune, which, concentrated by association, and wisely managed, would render practicable the most admirable Utopias! "`What a wondrous centre of fertile and generous thoughts! What precious and life-giving rays would stream incessantly from this focus of charity, emancipation, and love! What great things might be attempted what magnificent examples given to the world! What a divine mission! What an irresistible tendency towards good might be impressed on the whole human race by a family thus situated, and in possession of such means! "`And, then, such a beneficent association would be able to combat the fatal conspiracy of which I am the victim, and which, in a century and a half, may have lost none of its formidable power. "`So, to this work of darkness, restraint, and despotism, which weighs heavily on the Christian world, my family would oppose their work of light, expansion, and liberty! "`The genii of good and evil would stand face to face. The struggle would commence, and God would protect the right. "`And that these immense pecuniary resources, which will give so much power to my family, may not be exhausted by the course of years, my heirs, following my last will, are to place out, upon the same conditions, double the sum that I have invested--so that, a century and a half later, a new source of power and action will be at the disposal of their descendants. What a perpetuity of good! "`In the ebony cabinet of the Hall of Mourning will be found some practical suggestions on the subject of this association. "`Such is my last will--or rather, such are my last hopes. "`When I require absolutely that the members of my family should appear in person in the Rue Saint-Francois, on the day of the opening of this testament, it is so that, united in that solemn moment, they may see and know each other. My words may then, perhaps, have some effect upon them; and, instead of living divided, they will combine together. It will be for their own interest, and my wishes will thus be accomplished. "`When I sent, a few days ago, to those of my family whom exile has dispersed over Europe, a medal on which is engravers the date of the convocation of my heirs, a century and a half from this time, I was forced to keep secret my true motive, and only to tell them, that my descendants would find it greatly to their interest to attend this meeting. "`I have acted thus, because I know the craft and perseverance of the society of which I have been the victim. If they could guess that my descendants would hereafter have to divide immense sums between them, my family would run the risk of much fraud and malice, through the fatal recommendations handed down from age to age in the Society of Jesus. "`May these precautions be successful! May the wish, expressed upon these medals, be faithfully transmitted from generation to generation! "`If I fix a day and hour, in which my inheritance shall irrevocably fall to those of my descendants who shall appear in the Rue Saint-Francois on the 13th February, in 1832, it is that all delays must have a term, and that my heirs will have been sufficiently informed years before of the great importance of this meeting. "`After the reading of my testament, the person who shall then be the trustee of the accumulated funds, shall make known their amount, so that, with the last stroke of noon, they may be divided between my heirs then and there present. "`The different apartments of the house shall then be opened to them. They will see in them divers objects, well worthy of interest, pity, and respect--particularly in the Hall of Mourning. "`My desire is, that the house may not be sold, but that it may remain furnished as it is, and serve as a place of meeting for my descendants, if, as I hope, they attend to my last wishes. "`If, on the contrary, they are divided amongst themselves--if, instead of uniting for one of the most generous enterprises that ever signalized an age, they yield to the influence of selfish passions--if they prefer a sterile individuality to a fruitful association--if, in this immense fortune, they see only an opportunity for frivolous dissipation, or sordid interest--may they be accursed by all those whom they might have loved, succored, and disfettered!--and then let this house be utterly demolished and destroyed, and the papers, of which Isaac Samuel possesses the inventory, as well as the two portraits in the Red Room, be burnt by the guardian of the property. "`I have spoken. My duty is accomplished. In all this, I have followed the counsels of the man whom I revere and love as the image of God upon earth. "`The faithful friend, who preserved for me the fifty thousand crowns, the wreck of my fortune, knows the use I mean to make of them. I could not refuse his friendship this mark of confidence. But I have concealed from him the name of Isaac Samuel--for to have mentioned it might have exposed this latter and his descendants to great dangers. "`In a short time, this friend, who knows not that my resolution to die is so near its accomplishment, will come hither with my notary. Into their hands, after the usual formalities, I shall deliver my sealed testament. "`Such is my last will. I leave its execution to the superintending care of Providence. God will protect the cause of love, peace, union, and liberty. "`This mystic testament,[20] having been freely made by me, and written entirely with my own hand, I intend and will its scrupulous execution both in spirit and the letter. "`This 13th day of February, 1682, at one o'clock in the afternoon. "'MARIUS DE RENNEPONT.'" As the notary had proceeded with the reading of the testament, Gabriel was successively agitated by divers painful impressions. At first, as we have before said, he was struck with the singular fatality which restored this immense fortune, derived from a victim of the Society of Jesus, to the hands of that very association, by the renewal of his deed of gift. Then, as his charitable and lofty soul began fully to comprehend the admirable tendency of the association so earnestly recommended by Marius de Rennepont, he reflected with bitter remorse, that, in consequence of his act of renunciation, and of the absence of any other heir, this great

Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival: Instant Inspiration
Fifty Shades of Taupe
Visiting far away places is always a good time for inspiration. For me, I didn't even need to leave my hotel for new visions in Aspen. Upon entering, the mahogany lined walls and blue stone floors immediately drew me in, never mind the low buzz of music and clinking of glasses in the lobby lounge. I was hooked and then sucked into the layers of taupe.
As a rule, I usually don't paint with it much as it's dull and tired, but not here. I went from one area to another are…all shades of taupe. Not dirt colored, not ashy, but layer upon layer of taupe, each with a different twist, hue and finish. I couldn't stop counting or taking pictures. In my mind, I was designing entire suites of work using the color I never use. Taupe, fifty shades of taupe…..introducing the newest pieces to our collection. Here's to many, many more shades of taupe.

Season 3 Episode 2 of Black Mirror is the Same as Season 1 Episode 9 of The Twilight Zone
The multiple plot twists of Playtest, Episode 2 of Season 3 of Netflix's Black Mirror, is the same as Perchance to Dream, from the first season of The Twilight Zone. In Playtest, we're supposed to believe that everything Cooper is going through is really happening. He's really playing whack-a-mole, he's really talking to Katie and living his worst nightmares in the mansion, he's really seeing his mother with Alzheimer's, and he himself is suffering from Alzheimer's. But of course, we see in the end that all of the plot twists and endings were fake, in reality, Cooper died less than a minute into the experiment due to his cell phone going off when his mom tried to call him. This is eerily similar to the episode of TTZ, Perchance to Dream. In this episode, a man is terrified to go to sleep because of his fatal heart condition. He keeps having nightmares that trigger his heart and cause him to suffer health wise. If he falls asleep he'll die, and if he keeps staying awake he'll die. There's no way out for him. We see him talk to a psychologist about his problems, him contemplate suicide (a surprisingly common theme in the TTZ), him thinking that one of the character's from his nightmare has come to life, and him actually committing suicide. Only for it to be revealed at the end that none of the things we've witnessed has happened, rather he died within five minutes after lying down on the psychologist's couch. All of the things in both shows were just grand illusions. The rug was pulled out from under our feet in both occasions. There is no pay off, rather an anti-climax.

Best Buy to sell used games in all US stores
E3 2010: Retailer announces nationwide buyback program launching in late summer; gamers to get gift cards in exchange for pre-played titles.
With the gaming industry's focus squarely on the biggest titles of tomorrow during this week's Electronic Entertainment Expo, Best Buy wants gamers to think about the games of yesterday. The electronics chain has announced that it will begin buying and selling used games in all of its stores nationwide beginning late this summer.
While some Best Buy stores will have dedicated trade-in desks, most locations will handle game buybacks at the customer service desk. Customers will receive their compensation in the form of a gift card good for anything in the store, and any used games purchased will be covered by the store's return policy.
Best Buy already offers a buyback program through its Web site that allows gamers to look up the trade-in "estimates" of all their games and systems. When the in-store program launches, gamers will be able to use the Web site so they know how much to expect from their titles before they head to the store.
To date, the used game market has been dominated by specialty retailer GameStop, but there are more companies looking to undercut the chain's business all the time. Wal-Mart, Toys R Us, and Amazon have all gotten into the used buyback business to varying degrees, and even game publishers are looking for a piece of the pie.
Electronic Arts recently introduced its Online Pass program, which requires second-hand purchasers of games to pay $10 to activate functions like online multiplayer. During an investor conference call earlier this week, Activision announced its own intentions to get into the used gaming business by collaborating with secondhand sellers. The publisher believes participating in the used market could bolster its own revenues by as much as $500 million.

I cut the stem on a diagonal and noticed a few more little broccoli heads have already started growing.
|I keep looking at this photo - makes me feel so happy and proud.
Even though you may only get the one main head you are then rewarded with the tiny new growth plus an abundance of leaves. The leaves will be trimmed from the base a few at a time and used in cooking as well as sharing with the chickens.
Since this broccoli is very special being my first I wanted to do it justice and was inspired by a recipe I found on the River Cottage website. The result is a bowl full of delicious goodness which we have all tried.
After trimming the leaves and washing I cut off the little florets and then also chopped the stem into pieces. I had just over 100g of florets which I boiled for a few minutes and then drained. The chopped stems were then added to the water and also boiled until just ready. I've already added some of the stems to my veggies at lunchtime and keep popping bits into my mouth.
Next I roughly chopped about 30g of cashews and toasted on a hot frying pan until browned. You can leave them whole however as I only had a small amount I wanted them spread about a little. Once ready I removed them into a bowl and added some olive oil, chilli flakes and one chopped garlic clove to the frying pan. After about one minute I returned the cashews to the pan along with the broccoli. A few minutes later we had a very tasty dish.
Once we had all tried the broccoli and cashews I moved onto the leaves. Firstly I removed the centre stem and then sliced by rolling the leaves together in a sausage shape. Using the same pan which had bits of cashews and other flavours I added a little extra olive oil and fried a finely chopped garlic clove with chopped rosemary leaves. The broccoli leaves were then added and tossed until cooked. About 5 minutes. Another tasty bowl of goodness.
|Broccoli leaves.
The chickens have also enjoyed their broccoli leaves. I've just checked on them and everything has disappeared.
|The colour is so vibrant.
Later this morning I walked inside with four warm eggs from our girls. Hard to put into words the feelings of growing and producing your own food. I feel so happy, proud and am so excited to continue on this journey. One of the most rewarding feelings.

About us
Hi, I'm David and I own and operate Excel Custom PC Services with my amazing wife Deanna. We have been providing computer services to the Lehigh Valley and surrounding areas for the past 10 years, although we have a little more history than just that.
I fell in love with computers with my first "486" back in the early 90's. In '98 I helped design and build my high school's first website (which was horrendous by today's standards). After that I began fixing computers for friends and family. It remained that way until I met my wife Deanna. Shortly after we were married we decided to start ECPCS. Now we run our "Mom and Pop" shop and couldn't be happier!
For the first few years it was only us, Deanna taking care of the administrative side of things and me working on computers. Then, a couple of years ago we started working with our friends over at Nicely Done Sites. Since then we have expanded our business to include web design, graphic design and print services, remote support and Windows and Android app development.
Below you will find some of our policies on our guarantee, warranties, on-site repair etc… It is our intention to be completely transparent and upfront. The last thing we like to see when doing business is hidden charges or unexpected costs so we modeled our business that way. There is no "fine print", no hidden charges.
Our Guarantee
Our guarantee is very simple, if we can't fix your problem – you don't owe us anything. This applies for all computer repair services, virus removal services, PC optimization, upgrades and new builds. This guarantee does not apply to any type of web or graphic design.

His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse, nor his delight in the legs of the warrior; the LORD delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love.
Psalm 147:10-11 (NIV)
Read: Psalm 147
Consider: Delight seems to be a natural human response to things that please us. Yet have you considered why as humans we take delight in things? In Genesis 1:26-27 we are told:
Then God said, 'Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.' So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
This does not mean that our outward appearance looks like God, but rather that God mirrors his characteristics in our spirit. One of the characteristics of God is that he takes delight in things and that explains why as humans we can also be delighted by things.
In the Bible, the Hebrew and Greek words translated as 'delight' carry with them the breadth of meaning to include 'take pleasure in', 'be pleased by', 'be well pleased', 'think well of' and 'rejoice with'. As such, delight tends to convey exuberant pleasure.
There are many instances in Scripture where God is described as taking delight; one such place is in Matthew 12:18 where we are told that God delights in his Son, Jesus Christ. In other instances (e.g. Deuteronomy 30:9-10; 1 Samuel 15:22) we are told that God delights in those whose lives are submitted to him.
Returning to the verses from Psalm 147 quoted above, it is obvious that God's delight is not in physical strength; what he delights in is spiritual strength. This does not mean that God is down on us being successful. What he wants is that our success does not take pride of place in our lives, squeezing him out. In Jeremiah 9:23-24 it states:
This is what the LORD says: 'Let not the wise boast of their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength or the rich boast of their riches, but let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know me, that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight,' declares the LORD.
Don't be afraid to show your delight when something pleases you. It is a God given characteristic and should be used.
Pray: Father, we recognise that you take delight in us when we turn our back on sin and come to you for forgiveness. May we also delight in you, being willing to submit our lives to your authority. Amen
Every blessing

Breaking news in the moth world!
It has always been known that most Moths have an almost fatal underlying attraction to bright lights- 'like a moth to a flame'. How ever studies into how light pollution may effect these photosensitive animals has shed some light onto a deeply concerning trend.
It turns out that light pollution may be encouraging moths to stay away from lights!
Scientist spurred by the question that if the high level of mortality rate of moths that are attracted to light would effect the populations, have found that in a test using behavior of 1048 adult Ermine moths (Yponomeuta cagnagella) from areas with varying light pollution.
( a Ermine moth)
Once these moths had been raised to there final life stage and emerged as moths they were released into a cage with fluorescent tube in one side. It was found that moths that were from a high level of light pollution had a 30% reduction in the flight-to-light behavior so associated with moths, this indicates that those Moths is high light pollution areas may be learning to stay away from lights.
With this new survival technique there are costs; to avoid lights the moths in the experiment were found to fly less then others, this would mean that they would fly less in the wild leading to less pollination of local flowers, and less hunt-able food for animals such as bats and spiders.
It has also been predicted that data from previous studies may show the 'declining' moth populations may in fact be the moths in the area are evolving this new behaviour, meaning conservationists will have to become a bit more creative with their moth traps in the future.
When you think of pollution you think of plastic bags & waste, but sometimes it can be other types of impacts we are having, and with the new behavior emerging it has worrying implications for future generations of these moths, and those animals & plants that rely on them.

By January 1, 2011, thermostat manufacturers must establish and maintain a program for collection, transportation and proper management of out-of-service mercury thermostats. Most thermostat manufacturers support the Thermostat Recycling Corporation(TRC), which is a industry-sponsored non-profit organization originally established by General Electric, Honeywell and White-Rodgers. TRC facilitates the collection of all brands of used, wall-mounted mercury-switch thermostats so that mercury can be separated and recycled. A list of participating manufacturers as well as collection locations are available on the TRC website.
Specific requirements for thermostat manufacturers are:

Update in the works.
August 20, 2008
Just a quick post to inform the few of you still interested in this theme that an update is in the works and on its way. I'll post a preview soon.
Thanks all for the encouragement.

I love this theme a lot. Do you have any tips on modifying it to replace some of the app store icons with the ones you've already done? I know you are a busy guy so I'd like to do a little work myself till you get a proper release finished.
August 28, 2008 at 2:32 am
Just rename the files to the name of the AppStore apps name.
September 1, 2008 at 1:29 pm
Hello there,
I run your theme on 2.0.1 and it works. But where do I find all the other icons for the app store applications ?
First: I don't know the link to all the other icons (transparent ones)
Secondly: What do you mean with "renaming" the icons ? If you could reply to my email, that would be hilfanteristic.

How do I write this without coming across as a lonely, isolated and introverted drunkard? Perhaps best not to protest too much as they say…No, I'll stop you there, I am not any of those, full time anyway, in fact I'm going to try and convince you of the merits of something I only started doing this year, something that may easily be seen as those things, but in practice can be the opposite.
It began in a long ago abandoned land, full of dark corners that no stranger should explore…my bedroom. I had decided to write as much as I could and finish my first short story but as a novice and unpracticed at prolonged spells of concentration (even with 6 years of Open University behind me the masterly scholar had not developed, some may say regressed) I was still in the habit of having the television or radio on in the background. I thought I needed something to relax to, something that would avoid the pressure of silence and for a while I managed it. I was so excited by the realization I had found focus to work that my attention wasn't drawn to watch the television or listen to the radio; it was simply a background hum. That lasted perhaps a couple of weeks. I had the same routine, I would get home from work, have something to eat and then disappear into my bedroom, switch the television or radio on and settle down to write on the laptop.
Then of course, as most of you reading this will predict, the early adrenaline of committed action slowed and I found myself snapping out of ten or twenty minute phases of comatose staring-at-the-telly that I didn't even realise I was doing…the focus would be broken.
That's when I decided to get rid of the T.V. You see, the radio wasn't as much of a problem. Long ago I knew that I could listen to anything without words and still carry on doing whatever I was doing, be that studying, writing or reading. If it was regular radio then I would find myself focusing on the words and there was nothing I could do to prevent it, so I became a bit of a jazz and classical fan. Not so much as I could reel off names to you here, but enough to by several albums and compilations and it really worked, I could and I still can, happily work while lyric-free music plays in the background, in fact it actually helps, I like having music on and jazz and classical can motivate me without being disrupting. However, the tv was impossible, I don't need to tell you how easy it is to be hypnotized and I knew that if I wanted to really make the most of the evening hours I couldn't have that temptation near me. So for the first time I can remember I was without a television set.
It works! I would advise anyone that wouldn't get lynched by the family for the mere suggestions of it, to get rid of their tv. The evenings now seemed like decent periods of time for myself, rather than just quick nap sessions between work. Now when I got home, I would eat and then go to write and not have the automatic switching on of the tv and my productivity increased dramatically.
Let's skip forward a month or so and something else now plagues me. Everything at home is how I want it, there are no excuses not to write, there are no interruptions or temptations…in fact, there was no life at all! I had the feeling I was too isolated, there was no movement, no noise, no feeling of time passing. It was strange as it was what I had wanted but it had an unwelcome displacement effect; it was like I was watching myself write from the outside, I was watching the development of my own story. Sounds odd I realise but it was beginning to be a distraction, I felt the pressure of the situation combating my feelings of wanting to still be an active man, going out and seeing friends, going out to eat and things like that. I would stand up sometimes and warn my reflection not to become a hermit, I could see it was easily done, I was having a tough time in my personal life and it was easier to stay in and wish the weeks away than it was to go out and have to pretend I was okay. The danger with that is that I was convincing myself it was the best thing for me, I was more productive and focused than ever, but I was also withdrawing into myself and the balance between feeling good because I was really enjoying the writing and feeling depressed because I felt the best years of my life were slipping away from me was tough.
This is where I was getting to, took a while sorry. The pub. Hear me out before concluding I became a barfly to drink my woes away! It was the opposite I promise!
I still wanted to write but I didn't want to lock myself away every night so I decided I would see what it was like to try and write in the pub. I am lucky, there is a very nice, quiet and welcoming pub near me that doesn't have the flashing lights of fruit machines, or have football on big screens, etc. so this was a possibility. If you don't have one like that near you, then this may not help you out much. I went in one night, laptop in hand and ordered…a coke.
How many of you regularly go into pubs or bars and don't drink? You may be driving or you may take it in turns with your partner or sometimes just quickly meeting friends before going on somewhere else so on occasion you may just order a soft drink, but let me tell you this, walking into a pub knowing you are going to be there for a few hours, on your own, resisting the urge to order a pint was not easy! I had to start that way though, what I feared was it becoming a replacement for the television, an automatic movement, walk into the pub and order a drink. If I intended on coming here regularly to write I was not going to become an alcoholic. We all know people who drink too much and I'm not going to go into that here but it was something I was not going to let happen to me and if I started off drinking alone then I felt it would be a slippery slope.
So coke in hand I walked to a small table in the corner and opened the laptop. There were a few stares. It was natural and expected. The pub wasn't packed but there were maybe two dozen people spread around and all of them were drinking and chatting as normal. There was no one else drinking coke in the corner working on a laptop, I was definitely the only one…
It took me mere minutes to relax and get over the fact I had now turned into that person that everyone avoids sitting near when walking into a coffee shop or café or pub (or nutter on a bus as the sketch goes), you know the type, something slightly unsettling about them that just gives off the, 'sit next to me and I will interact with you.' You never know what they will do, from just start a conversation to jump on you and start chewing your ears, so you just sit somewhere else and wait for other unsuspecting customers to go near and watch the fall out. Anyway, I was now that person, and I was okay with it because it felt great! I was totally comfortable on my own, I found it very easy to concentrate and the revelation was that the pub became my background noise, just like a tv or radio at home except it wasn't stealing my attention. I happily typed away while all the clinking of glasses, small chatter and rustling of chairs of people coming and going went on around me. I felt like I was both part of society and observer at the same time; I wouldn't get distracted by people's conversations, in fact I could dip in and out when I wanted, which was fun! There would be some absolute corkers of comment here and there…both pleasant and not so…sometimes funny, sometimes disturbingly stupid but it didn't matter to me, it was an energy I felt able to draw on while not getting involved. So it had worked, I had found a new place to write.
Alcohol. I didn't go every night and still don't, sometimes I feel happy just sitting on my chair and writing at home, sometimes I'm in the library, sometimes I'm in the coffee shop, but when it comes to night time, the only option really is the pub if I want to go outside. Can't write in the parks or open spaces, it's too cold this time of year and I can't write round friend's houses, it's chat and dvd time within seconds. So when I can't settle at home I am confident and happy enough to go to the pub. Now, the first few times went fine and I would either order an orange juice or coke or perhaps a sparkling water and get on with it. Then one night, I was typing away when the urge for a glass of red wine came over me, just a glass I thought, a large glass…maybe two. It must have been one of the nicest glasses of red I've ever drank! I was sat there on my own, headphones in, glass in hand and reading through my efforts. The ridiculous nature of the scene then hit me and I got the giggles, what an absolute typical scenario someone thinks of when imagining a writer! I only needed to transfer the scene to a Parisian café or a New York bar and it would have been complete. What on Earth did I think I was doing! I'm a total novice giving off the pretense I'm writing the next Booker winner. That night when I went home, I was slightly intoxicated by both the wine and the sense of place I had given myself. I imagined doing that every night, I imagined not working and having the days to myself wandering around London and then retiring to the pub to write at night, it was a pleasant sensation that was shattered the following morning when popping aspirin and cradling my sore head on the packed rush hour train to work.
So there is a warning. How well do you know yourself? How disciplined are you? How focused on your dreams are you? It's just like the trap I fell into when I was 18 working in the city. Just because you are working in the city does not mean you are working, 'in the city' if you get what I mean. Don't kid yourself you are further ahead than you actually are and don't fall into a lifestyle that suits your dreams but not your achievements. After a few nights working in the pub I realised that I couldn't simply drink every night, even if it just was one glass. There is nothing wrong with that and I'm not preaching anyone on alcohol consumption here but for me it was becoming more about the illusion I was creating than it was the work I was creating. I liked the image of being this lone person writing in the corner with a glass of wine and keeping himself to himself and then when the occasional person asked what I was up to I would say I'm writing. That wasn't what it was about though, so I refocused and went back to having cokes and juices, and every now and again if I did feel like a pint I would have one, but purely because I felt like it, not because it was a part of my routine. It's worked out really well, I can get a lot of work done, it's comfortable, close to my home and it's nice to be around people rather than isolated all the time. To any writers out there that sometimes feel stuck for a place to work I would recommend it but with a firm proviso, make sure you work! Don't become one of the regulars and spend an hour chatting to the locals or bar staff before sitting down to write, don't drink too much if at all, don't go to a place that isn't suitable, if it's got sports on tv or is full of 18 year olds slamming shots then you'll be too distracted.
Lastly, don't fool yourself into looking more like a 'writer' than actually being a writer. If you haven't trained properly and you step into the ring you are going to get knocked out. That's what I tell myself about pretty much everything.
Hour's up.
