Ask yourself a question: would you say 'I like a bit of racism in my romances' or 'I like a bit of bigotry in my romances'?
Probably not, I'm thinking. And yet it so many women freely admit to loving misogyny in theirs. Discussions like this one: Liking Sexism in Romances baffle me. I have no idea why women get off on fantasising about men who have no respect for women. I don't know why they find it an attractive trait that they're the only woman the hero bothers to learn by name or think of as an actual person.
I DNF'd a review book (above) a little while ago, because I could not for the life of me understand why the hero's total lack of respect for women was supposed to be sexy.
When we met him he was hanging out with his gang of sequel bait (male) SEAL friends – all mentioned and described by name – and two women. For the entire chapter and once a page he referred to the women as "the blonde" and "the brunette". Even while thinking about having sex with them, he couldn't be bothered to learn their names, and multiple references were made to their physical attributes and their party attitude.
He admitted the only woman he could be bothered caring about (and, evidently, thinking of as a human being) was the book's heroine.
I stopped, asked myself WHY I should be bothered following the rest of a story starring a man like that, and realised I didn't have to. These days it seems contemporary romance and romantic suspense is misogynistic more often than not.
Was this the most sexist book I've read? No, absolutely not. That honour would probably go to Walking Disaster. However, there's so much casual misogyny being tossed around in books and treated as normal and I don't think people are even seeing it.
I really don't understand why authors think the "I only respect one woman" attitude is an attractive trait in a man, and I certainly don't understand why so many women freely admit to enjoying it. This idea that it makes the heroine (and by extension, the reader) So Much More Speshul because she's the only woman the hero has ever respected… what is that?
The argument that it's all just a bit of fun and all just a bit of a fantasy? Turn the word Sexism into Racism or Bigotry and then ask yourself if it's still okay? The idea we have more respect for other issues than we have for our own gender is a disgusting and very popular attitude in the romance community.
We need to stop making excuses for it.

For some time I'll fondly recall an explosive Rajon Rondo performance (precisely when it mattered!), remember being oh-so-proud of Jesus Shuttleworth (a ring at last!), and wonder whether these brief fireworks were worth the mortgaged future the Celtics landed themselves with (obviously!).
And for almost as long, I'll miss this ad.

I felt lucky that we were able to connect - she came down from Connecticut and together we enjoyed a couple of exhibitions at the gallery and an open studio there as well. It was a great reminder of how wonderful the world of blog is, as however else would we have 'met' and then been able to 'meet'?
We had coffee, we wandered, we chatted, we photographed, we had lunch and then we walked together thru the streets of NYC until our paths took us our separate ways. Just special.

I came here to keep in touch with all my friends who left GR after the censorship debacle. I read a little of every genre. I co-blog at Musings of a Bibliomaniac.
I haven't seen the movie. But it's got to be better than the book. I mean, at least there's Julia Roberts and she is eminently watchable.
Eat Pray Love is a metaphor for women empowerment. Or that's what 30-plus women who have read this memoir have to say. But I'm nowhere close to 30. In my opinion, the book was too bland. It is pretty amazing that a divorced, depressed woman, facing a mid-life crisis, undertakes this epic journey of rediscovery, and I genuinely feel happy for Ms. Gilbert, but reading the author's first-hand account was just too tedious.
We start in Italy, where the writer explores food. Her strategy is simple enough – find out the best pizza and pasta joints in each city. I actually loved this part, maybe because it combined 2 of my favorite things – Travel and Food. But this is where the good stuff ended for me.
We then come to India, where Liz explores spirituality. There are detailed explanations on the science of yoga, the art of meditation, enlightenment, shaktis, mantras...YAWN. I think I skipped some parts, or maybe I fell asleep. Not sure. All I know is: It was boring.
I finally woke up when Liz reached Bali. Romance in Indonesia should be fun, right? Except, it was not. The love part was worse than her spiritual detour in India. Half of the things didn't make sense; what made sense killed my leftover interest.
Did I mention how tiresome the book was? It seemed to go on and on and on...
Moral: Middle-aged woman reclaiming her life as she travels across the world does not make for interesting reading, unless you are a middle-aged woman yourself, trying to reclaim your own life.
Better give this one a miss.

Love's got the world in motion
We are officially on the countdown to the World Cup; the flags are being raised, England T-shirts are being bought and advertising has been kick-started. As per usual, its time to dust out the official world cup songs, so here is my favourite from the nineties.
I'm actually looking forward to this, there's a buzz in the air and match-viewing parties being planned. Plus the fabulous Miss Alicia Keys is opening the games with no doubt, another fantastic performance. Which time will you be supporting?

Adorable blog! Right when I saw your blog's title I knew you were a woman after my own heart. ;P
I'm very excited about the World Cup! I'll be rooting for Mexico and Argentina. No solid reason why, really. I just love those two countries. (I'm such a bad soccer fan, haha.) Can't wait to read you more!

Scoliosis with an added bit of Zen!
Hey everyone, I have just come back from a short break, we left the morning after my last blog post actually.
We drove down to Barrosa Beach in Cadiz and stayed in the Iberostar hotel - Andalucia Playa - it was lovely, we slept for 2 days thereabouts. We were so tired and really needed a break, moving house, working hard, furnishing another house, organising it for rent, fighting daily pain with Scoliosis and a host of other activities, putting it mildly - bushed!
I would rather have gone without the car journey but once we had arrived I was in heaven, first time we had gone to a hotel that served buffet style food every night but we soon got used to that and worked out the rules and regulations surrounding how to eat buffet! ;)
We had cocktails during the day around the pool, lounged on sunbeds all day long and every now and then we went for a walk on the beach and a play in the sea, Cadiz is on the Atlantic coast so the waves are alot of fun.
I had a Thai Zen facial which was an experience, my face felt amazing afterwards and once we had covered the ground rules regarding no massage on my back or neck she went to work. Hot steamed towels and facial creams were just so soothing and relaxing, I will have another facial in the next hotel that's for sure.
I had Bowen the day after I arrived home (30th July) and mentioned that while on holiday I had some trouble moving my neck and I had shooting pains going through my donor site which was not very pleasant. What I found very strange was that I slept very well on their crappy beds, yet at home I have an all singing, all dancing memory foam, adjustable electric bed and I wake very early in the morning to pain and have to try out the spare bed before finally giving up and getting up.
Maybe the drinking was playing a part in the sleeping saga, now don't get me wrong I wasn't getting plastered every night but Chris and I shared a bottle or two of wine with sprite every night with dinner, perhaps this made me relax more and enabled me to sleep for that little bit longer.
I don't enjoy a drink at home on my own, I am more of a social drinker so I don't think I could get into the habit of a glass of wine with dinner every night - we will have to wait and see, maybe I might just give it a go! ;)
I go for Bowen again on Wednesday and this week I don't have many different feelings to report, I am still getting the very sore back of a morning where I find it difficult to stand up, I find myself clutching my back and walking very slowly into the spare room to prop myself up on pillows and wait for sleep to take me again or for the pain to dissipate.
I have also noted that my tolerance of working at a table has decreased even more, it just does not do me any favours, my shoulders complain, my neck starts to hurt and then today my arms have been aching also.
Well I am going to sign out for now and try to get some sleep
Love to one and all

A Modified J2F Duck
By pmmaker June 13, 2013
A rather large model for a bi-plane, the kit goes together rather nicely. Little need for putty to fill seams on the fuselage. Some sanding was needed to smooth out the join lines. The cockpit detail is sparse. Pilots are two well molded torsos and need to be replaced if possible. Careful painting of the pilots will make them acceptable. A full cockpit canopy which includes a rear facing gun is supplied. The engine detail is wonderful. The pistons are well molded and you get the exhaust ring that is clear visible behind the engine cowl. Propeller stencils are included. The alignment of the top wing is problematic. I recommend rigging the model beforehand as the box art and directions gives a good idea where the wires go. Aligning the struts to the wings is a bit of a challenge but Pro-weld will alleviate many issues. For rigging, I used a 0.20 gage music wire cut to size and glued using white tacky glue. Exhaust staining achieved through slight application of Tamiya pastels. I built my model in flight. I had to cut a slot for the borrowed stand and created a cover for where the landing gear would have extended. No parts to do this are supplied with the kit. I used alternate decals for a plane in U.S.M.C. markings.

lets hear it for retreads
By jctoymaker October 15, 2015
Glencoe models. Glencoe Avenue in Venice California was the home address of Revell when I was a kid; became aware of Glencoe a couple of decades later, when they started showing up with unpopular kits in the 70's/80's, like the Hiller tilt rotor, among others, that were Revell kits at an earlier time. Ex, employees taking over the Venice address when Revell moved? Something to look into. I am beginning to run out of American WWII aircraft to build, and am glad to see older kits reissued by new companies; I have warmed to them; their old style plastic material, their old style instructions, like Hawk, Lindberg, etc. Anyway , here I have this Duck. This is a great old kit, of an obscure but classic plane. The kit is primitive, yet with a surprising level of details, like the wing and pontoon mounts. It needed some putty (mine had a warped fuselage halves) and sanding, but other went together well It offers four different versions, with excellent decals for each, and good instructions on painting them. Three of the four versions are readily available online; they are dead on. Like all biplanes (at least for me) putting the pair of wings on is a pain and a half, but what a fun kit! lets hear it for retreads, and odd ducks

Rescue at Sea
By johncpo41 September 5, 2016
This kit was one of the most challenging models I have ever built. At the same time the model fills another gap in the model aircraft world. The parts are all over- molded with many places where I had to remove flash and the fit was very frustrating in the long run as I had to hold pieces together even using the strongest of super glues. I had heard the company Glencoe was an off- spin of another model company but I don't know that much about the history, although this was often common practice with model companies. Warped parts, over molded parts and improper fit plague this kit and the decals have to be replaced with others but this kit will look great with the others from WW 2.

J2F2 Duck
By brittond63 October 27, 2017
This kit is a gem. It is not super high tech. Thank goodness, for biplanes are hard enough just tackling the wings. Photos of this plane has prompted me to buy & do multiples for schemes & themes. Murphy's war, with Peter O'toole. Prewar paint schemes & catapult projects. A beautiful aircraft & a really nice kit. What a modeler friendly price for what you get. As a collector of float & amphibious aircraft,...Bingo!

Just like everything else, there are a lot of myths surrounding Reiki or do's and don'ts. You can't do Reiki on someone with Diabetes, has a Pacemaker, is schizophrenic or has seizure disorder. Well I've worked on 'em all, no problem! But just the other day I heard about a new one - the 21 day self-treating rule.
The attunement (sacred ceremony that a certified Reiki Master Teacher performs on you that connects you to the Reiki energy so that you can channel it for yourself), elicits a 21 day cleanse or detox in the body. This cleanse clears out any old negative, stuck energy in your energy field or body for the purpose of making you a clearer channel for the energy, in essence.
We instruct all of our students to began performing daily whole body self-treatments with their now "Reiki hands" as soon as they become Reiki. Some teachers are telling their students that you only have to do this during the 21 day cleanse/detox, hence the confusion possible. NOT SO! A Reiki practitioner is expected to perform this daily ritual for themselves EVERY SINGLE DAY for ever, especially if they are doing a lot of Reiki on others or sending a lot of Distant Reiki Healing to others, or going through a particularly rough cleanse (that's pretty rare).
I think this myth about only doing a daily self-treatment for the 21 days you are going through your cleanse has more to do with our crazy western lifestyle (on the go all the time, little time for self) so when you tell someone they have to perform this ritual on themselves (a one hour or more process) every day they freak out. So maybe some teachers thought they might be able to convince more of their students of the necessity of doing it if they shortened it. (Just a thought - I know lot of my students do!). Others think it got confused with the 21 day cleanse/detox.
Doing a daily Reiki self-treatment removes negative energy from your energy field and recharges your body, as well as opens, clears and balances your chakras and much more. So you can see it is very beneficial and of course, if you are having some kind of issue other than just your daily stuff (a cold, flu, allergies, injuries, surgeries, major stress,etc.) it will help you recover faster and maybe get sick less often.
The problem with Reiki and myths is twofold. We bombed the holy H word out of Japan in WW II and a lot of records were destroyed that possible could have given us a better picture about it's origins and history and it's founder Dr. Mikao Usui. The memorial society that some say was formed after Dr. Usui's passing (the Usui Reiki Royho Gakkai), is a very secret and secretive society. Reiki had to go underground after the war as the United States forbid anyone in Japan from practicing it. The Gakkai is still in existence today and they teach and do Reiki exactly as Dr. Usui instructed them to over 100 years ago. It is a closed society and not really interested in sharing it's secrets with us. Can't say as I blame them.
We have made contact with one of it's President's and one of it's members defected in a sense and has shared information with us, and more and more information is being uncovered about Reiki, thanks to the efforts of people like Reiki Master Teacher and author of many books on Reiki "Frank Arjava Petter, and many others.
It is very unlikely that we will ever know the complete history of Reiki and all there is to know about it and it's founder, so we just have to trust that it works and not get too hung up in the whys and wherefores, and try to clear these myths as they come up.

To answer the hateful word in like kind is easy, almost automatic. These are the things we struggle against--the knee jerk responses of the old Adam, the twitches to life of the unburied dead. Like a zombie, the old man grotesquely persists, tied to ones back, a heavy burden indeed.
We are tested beyond endurance, eternally exposed to the storm. We fall once, twice, three times--battered by the cross which we lug inch by inch to Golgotha. It is not light, but heavy, heavy, and the end of all is crucifixion. This is the death the new man insists upon--not the death which avenges, not the death that takes as many enemies as possible with it, not a death with honor and pride, but the death by love, naked and pierced, alone and forsaken, harmless to the end.
This is the shame of compassion, this is the burden of love incorruptible., the victory of refusal.
Hate is immune to itself. Hate is sustained by itself. It consumes the stone, the bitter word, the dagger and the sword, the rot of anger. It grazes on the thistles of unforgiveness, and chews the cud that hardens the heart. Hate eats the marriage, eats the promise, crushes and swallows the sacred vow. It calls itself courageous, and then moves on, a swarm of locusts, a plague of flies.
These are the worms that turn and burrow in the sockets of eyes that would not see. These are the mites that taint the fruit, the maggots that ruin the meat. This is the mold which gobbles the bread and starves the innocent child.
The termite eats from the bottom up, and so the foundation crumbles first. The job is done, though the house still stands. What life remains yet walks on air, all the way down to the finished pit.
What cure exists now for the cancerous heart, what blood for the dried up vein?

After volcanologists recorded over 244 volcanic quakes since June of this year, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) raised the alert status over Mt. Kanlaon yesterday morning.
Based on a statement released by Phivolcs, increased seismic activity may be followed by hazardous steam-driven, or phreatic, eruptions at the summit crater, despite the absence of visible degassing, or steaming, from the active vent this year.
Ground deformation data also indicates the structure of the volcano has remained inflated since December of 2015.
"These parameters indicate that volcanic processes are underway deep beneath the edifice that may be caused by deep-seated degassing, or hydrothermal activity," Phivolcs said.
According to Phivolcs, an Alert Level 1 signals a "slight increase in volcanic earthquake and steam/gas activity," illustrated by "notable increase in the temperature, acidity, and volcanic gas concentrations of monitored springs."
Phivolcs recommends the public keep a four-kilometer radius outside the permanent danger zone (PDZ), where "sudden and hazardous steam-driven or minor ash eruptions" are possible.
Phivolcs has also coordinated with the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP), advising pilots to avoid flying close to the volcano's summit as sudden phreatic eruptions can be hazardous to aircraft.
The agency added, they are closely monitoring the volcano for any new development and will inform the public of any concerning events./WDJ

It's summer and for all the adventurers this is the perfect time to go out. Exploring, hiking and all outdoor activities are the ones that you do with your friends. As alternative, why not explore the outside world with some of the most active dog breeds?
So, if you like that much playing outdoor with your dog, why not find out what are the best 5 dog breeds to take with you.
Any of them are just perfect to easily explore the outside world.
1.Jack Russell Terrier
This dog is filled with energy and enthusiasm for running around, so this breed can tackle many obstacles because he's so agile.
You can take him on hiking and even rock climbing since he loves a good challenge. Even though the Jack Russell is short and can't go for miles, he is very smart and he will find a way to climb any obstacle in front of him. More, he loves kids so you can take the little ones with you in a hiking day.
Having a thick coat allows the Husky to have high endurance in cold weather. So if you want to go on winter adventures, this is the breed for you as this dog really enjoys the snow.
These guys love to take long hikes, camping trips and all that in tough weather conditions. They want to be in charge, so loading them with extra gear will be a blast for them. They are often used to carry the equipment in tough terrains.
3. Viszla
Created in Hungary to work as a pointer and retriever, the Vizsla dog breed has an aristocratic bearing. All he wants, though, is to be loved. He's a super companion for an active family who can provide him with the exercise and attention he craves.
This dog breed is very athletic, active, and light on its feet. They are full of energy, and agility and can quickly find a path between trees in the forest. Because they have short fir they are only suitable for warmer conditions.
The Vizslas are very faithful to their master, and they will be by your side the whole trip.
4. Labrador Retriever
The Labrador Retriever was bred to be both a friendly companion and a useful working pal. Historically, he earned his keep as a fisherman's helper: hauling nets, fetching ropes, and retrieving fish from the chilly North Atlantic.
Today's Labrador Retriever is as good as his ancestors, and he's America's most popular breed. These days the Lab works as a retriever for hunters, as a search and rescue dog, so you can easily use him in all your outdoor activities.
5.German Shepherd
The German Shepherd Dog is one of the dogs that deserves all the attention as he is a very popular dog breed.
There is a good reason for this.
He's an intelligent and capable dog. His devotion and courage are unmatched.
He is amazingly versatile, excelling at most anything when trained well: guide and assistance work for the handicapped, police and military service, herding, search and rescue, drug detection and last but not least, a faithful outdoor companion.
With the right training, these breeds make for some of the best adventure dogs out there. But just remember—every dog is only as good as its human so treat well your pal, and make sure he has much of your attention when he is out there with you for several days.
Do you have a dog? How often do you go out with him? Please leave your comments below.

MHS golf wins CIML Iowa tourney
NORWALK — The Marshalltown golf team ended its regular season schedule the same way it started, with a win at The Legacy Golf Club over Dowling Catholic.
It wasn't just the Maroons the Bobcats beat on Wednesday though, as MHS won the CIML Iowa Conference Tournament with a team score of 304, just one stroke ahead of Dowling's 305.
Marshalltown adds the conference tournament title to its conference duals title already won this season, and it exacts a little revenge on the Maroons, who the Bobcats lost the conference tournament title to last season by six strokes.
Marshalltown head coach Lucas Johnson said The Legacy provides a tough challenge for his guys and he is happy to come away with the victory to cap off the regular season.
"A win is always good and on this golf course there is always a hole or two that can jump up and get some one," Johnson said. "Our guys started off really hot, it was kind of the opposite of what we've seen in the last few invites in the sense of today we were fantastic in the first eight holes out, then we hit a rough patch. Holes one through four were tough for the guys, I think one through six we put a lot of big numbers up and that brough everybody back into it."
Senior Nate Vance and sophomore Cole Davis were the top scorers for the Bobcats, both finishing at an even-par 72. They finished the day tied with Johnston's Nick Pittman for the top score of the tournament, and Pittman defeated both Davis and Vance in a playoff to come away as the medalist. Davis would finish as runner-up, while Vance took the third-place medal.
Vance actually started his day strong through the first eight holes, but as his coach said The Legacy has a way of evening things out as the round goes along.
"It started out pretty good, I was 4-under through eight and I caught a bad break on four when I made double," Vance said. "I didn't any putts coming in for birdies or pars so I finished with an even par, but that was my goal coming in, to shoot a 72 or less, so I will never be upset with finishing with my goal."
Davis had the opposite round, starting off slowly on the 10th hole but gaining momentum as the day went on.
"I started off bad, I had a nice, high cut into the creek on 10, but I made birdy on the next hole and kind of leveled out from there by making a bunch of pars," Davis said. "I made a pretty good birdie on six that really got me, I thought I would make one more coming in to maybe beat Vance, but it went well and I thought I played."
Tate Carlson and JD Pollard rounded out the scoring for Marshalltown with an 80 each, finishing in 13th and 14th respectively. Luke Appel shot an 82 and Mason Reid shot a 91 to finish off the Bobcat rounds.
Johnson said this wasn't the team's prettiest win on the year, but in the end they did what they needed to do to beat two good teams in Dowling and Johnston, who finished in second and third respectively.
"Our guys just had to grind it out, in a team sport like golf when you are adding everybody's holes in together, those one or two shots down the stretch is all it takes," he said. "I am proud of the way the guys finished, we have some things to work on for Tuesday but over all it's a good way to end the regular season. A couple conference championship trophies area great confidence boost."
Now that the regular season is over, the Bobcats set their sights on the district meet, scheduled for next Tuesday at Pheasant Ridge in Cedar Falls. Last season, the Bobcats missed qualifying for state as a team by two strokes at the district meet.
This year's team is made up of essentially the same parts as last season's narrow miss, and with a year of experience under their belts and a No. 1 ranking in the state, the Bobcats feel more confident heading into districts this year.
"Today was a good thing because we only won by one, so that keeps us on our heals a little bit," Vance said. "When we start putting more pressure on ourselves, when we change up our routines, that's when mistakes are going to be made. If we just go in level headed and just keep everything the same and just go play golf like we've been playing the entire season we will be alright."
Johnson agreed with his senior, saying the team won't change up its approach much over the next few days of practice before heading to districts.
"I don't think we have to change anything, I think we have to trust our routines and trust what's gotten us to this point and know we don't have to do anything special or do anything different," he said. "Know that a good day for us will put us in the position that we want to be."

Marijuana may bring on temporary paranoia and other psychosis-related effects in individuals at high risk of developing a psychotic disorder, finds a preliminary study.
Source: Marijuana may produce psychotic-like effects in high-risk individuals — ScienceDaily
This is like saying that people with frail bones are more likely to break them when they fall, or people who don't exercise are more likely to get tired when doing work, or other obvious connections. All this article says is that if you are a high-risk individual– "psychotic symptoms (such as unusual thoughts, suspiciousness, perceptual disturbances)", are more likely to have them exacerbated when using cannabis.
And my own revelation of the day: "People who can't do math are more likely to be cheated in financial transactions".
OK, back to sleep……..

I would like install plugin zoom but in my version 2.0.1 not run..
any suggestions
I would like install plugin zoom but in my version 2.0.1 not run..
any suggestions
The error is
plugin Zoomit: 'Zoomit' has no valid bootstrap file.
I'd double-check that you downloaded the correct version of Zoomit, and that all the files were transferred successfully
Sorry, looks like the updated files weren't uploaded to the Omeka site. The newest 2.0 code is now here
I have the correct version and the files were ok
hello I'm using version 2.0 of Omeka and I just installed the plugin zoom it 2.0 but not displayed pictures only show the name of picture for example 1372880181939.jpg... any suggestions... thanks
hello I'm using version 2.0 of Omeka and I just installed the plugin zoom it 2.0 but not displayed pictures only show the name of picture as we see in the following link http://184.108.40.206/pruebas/omeka-2.0/items/show/1 ... any suggestions... thanks
You click on the file that is underlined, as if it is a link. The reason the files are listed is that you might have more than file associated with an item and it offers the user the opportunity to choose which one they want to display.
Any issues with loading the images in the Zoom.It viewer, most likely are not related to Omeka but to the service.
Because the plugin relies on an external service and it may render or load differently in different web browsers. It also relies on the Silverlight browser addon, which some of your users may need to upgrade to experience the full functionality of zooming.
Sheila thanks for your information just install the silverlight but still does not work ... I wonder if you know of any other supplement or tool that can do this same function that makes "zoomit" as this link can make you stand in the exhibition lincoln
in advance thank you very much for your attention
The Newberry used Zoomify and created a customized plugin for it for their site.
The difference is that Zoomify isn't a free service.
Sheila thank you very much for your information I'm using neatline in other side and works fine( http://220.127.116.11/pruebas/omeka-2.0/neatline/show/prueba ) but I would like to know how to give coordinates and zoom preset for my using neatline.
I'll let the folks from the Neatline team chime in to help you with that.
Good luck.
Hai am using omeka and in that installed Zoomit plugin but the image is not displayed. How to set imagemagick path and zoomit. Anyone can you help me.
Thanks in advance

Yes, I know it's late, but still worthy...
Gun-toting Texans can relax about one concern this hurricane season: The state has no plans to disarm residents in the wake of a big storm.
A questioner got big applause at Brazoria County's hurricane preparedness conference Thursday when he asked whether law enforcement agencies were going to demand that private citizens surrender their firearms after a storm.
Texas Department of Public Safety Sgt. Randy Jones said taking firearms from citizens has never been part of a state plan.
He recalled going to Bridge City after that town was slammed by Hurricane Rita in September and seeing a homemade sign that read, "You loot, we shoot."
Residents conducted armed patrols to make sure that homes and businesses were secure, he said. State troopers going into the damaged area assisted the patrols, rather than stopping them.
"The locals know much better who belongs in their neighborhoods than a DPS trooper who may be from as far away as Lubbock," Jones said. "If you're guarding your neighbor's home with a shotgun, nobody is going to bother you.
"Of course, if you're walking out of his house with a television set, then we're going to arrest you," he concluded, drawing a big laugh.
Maybe I should have paid more attention to the news. I never knew about the armed patrols, the state troopers' assistance of them, or the "You Loot, We Shoot" sign. (No doubt that was not the only one!) What a stark yet refreshing contrast to the rape of the Constitution that occurred in the Big Easy in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Jeff at Alphecca makes a great point, though...
Promises are like turds. You can make a bunch of them but that doesn't mean you keep them...
Put it in writing. Put it in legislative writing. Make it the law that you can't confiscate legally owned firearms from law-abiding citizens.
Even after law enforcement confiscated guns from citizens in New Orleans, lying shit Nagin and company claimed they hadn't done any such thing. It took a court order and a lawsuit to get them to admit that they had.
That last thing is definitely worth pointing out, and it would very much be a good thing to have the proscription of post-disaster arms confiscations codified into state law (and federal law as well, but that's a whole 'nother discussion).
Still, though, I can't help but think that the powers that be here in Texas would never take their cue from Ray Nagin, especially taking into consideration his horrendous performance after Hurricane Katrina. And the fact that it was brought up at that conference, as well as DPS Sgt. Jones' response and that of the audience in general, is heartening, as it shows the confiscations were noted and not forgotten by Texas citizens and that Texas law enforcement saw the value of armed citizen patrols. I know the circumstances would be different, considering the fact that they'd be in their own jurisdiction, but I seem to recall various Texas law enforcement agencies recalling their officers in the wake of the Katrina gun confiscations. Add to that the utter public-relations disaster that would ensue in the state of Texas alone (and we haven't even gotten to those who might shoot back), and all that's left to be said is, those who would take guns in the wake of a Katrina-type disaster in Texas had indeed better beware. Still, though, we need it in the law. There need to be consequences, dire consequences, spelled out in the law for violations of such a natural right. They've gotten away with it so far in southeastern Louisiana. Nagin, Compass and Riley should be sitting behind bars this morning, and should be there for a bloody-well long time, and be held up now and forever as examples of what not to do after a natural disaster. A very, very bad precedent has been set, and we should be fighting as if our lives depend on it to ensure it never happens again. in any event, though...
Buy Ammo. Buy Guns. And train, Train, TRAIN.

O-kay, so the first half of my birthday was a bummer, but the second half was very nice.
My sweet, sweet husband, seeing how bummed I was about no chocolate cake, made a special trip to our local bakery and picked up a chocolate mousse cake for me. He returned with a very nice cake, and a bouquet of beautiful flowers.
Then we hit the road, picked up my grandma and met my mom at Buca di Beppo's for a very yummy dinner. Fried calamari, antipasto salad, baked ravioli and veal limon. A good time was had by all, and the kids were pretty well behaved. Especially Sophia. She enjoyed feeding her little sister, who sat in the booth with her and climbed all over her waiting for the next bite. For my birthday, my mom remade a lap quilt she had made years ago and I wore out with love. So she gave me the new quilt wrapped up in the old quilt, which at this point is still torn and worn, but I was happy to get it back anyway.
This morning my sweet, sweet husband woke me with a cup of decaf and a piece of cake for breakfast. A good way to start the day.

So, we just spent 2 hours at the church at the "Breakfast with Santa". Santa didn't show up! The snow was too bad.
I don't know if I can go to church tomorrow. I think that my faith is wavering based on the fact the snow was to bad for Santa to show up. I think it's a valid excuse to go apostate and get some sleep tomorrow.
Of course you all know that won't happen. =)

3 Things Every Good Small-Group Needs
Today, I met with a few other leaders from our church to discuss a new Sunday night worship/small group we are planning on putting together. Through the planning time, many questions and comments arose, and much discussion was generated. We all have our own ideas about what this small-group/worship time needs, or what any small-group needs. We also all have our own experiences and memories from small-groups we've experienced in the past – some good, some great, some not-so-good. However, in considering all the things we discussed, and the things I think Christ would want within a small-group, I've compiled this list of the 3 top, most important, basic things that every small-group needs to have in order to be successful. Without these 3 things, a small-group cannot hope to be effective in its mission to draw people into community and deeper relationships with each other and Christ our King.
1. Love
A small-group without love is like a meal with no food. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 13:
1If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
Likewise, a small group without love is nothing. Love is the substance of small-groups, and the substance of any deep relationship for that matter. As one of the goals of a small-group is to develop deeper friendships with each other, love is imperative as a catalyst for deepening relationships. CS Lewis' The Four Loves explores the 4 Greek words for love (storge: affection, philia: friendship, eros, agape: charity) – 3 of which are possible to experience within a small-group setting (all except eros).
Wikipedia defines the 3 loves I mentioned as such:
Affection (storge, στοργή) is fondness through familiarity, especially between family members or people who have otherwise found themselves together by chance. It is described as the most natural, emotive, and widely diffused of loves.
Friendship (philia, φιλία) is a strong bond existing between people who share a common interest or activity.
Charity (agapē, ἀγάπη) is the love that brings forth caring regardless of circumstance. Lewis recognizes this as the greatest of loves, and sees it as a specifically Christian virtue.
More directly, within a small group, the 3 loves can be seen in these ways:
Storge comes when people know each other very well, feel comfortable together, can share experiences, desires, hopes, and struggles freely together, and it feels like a part of a family, or very tight-knit group of friends. Storge is the kind of friendship and relationship that all small-groups hope to cultivate, although (at least at first) it can be difficult to do so. Even though Lewis describes this love as the "most natural, emotive, and widely diffused of loves," it can be difficult for people who are strangers every day of the week except Sunday to express this kind of love to each other from the very start. But, once members become comfortable with each other (and accept each other, flaws and all), the group can start to take on a familial feel, a very secure and tight-knit comfort, and storge may be readily expressed. A small group in which members feel comfortable to open their lives to one another very honestly with no fear of rejection or judgment is one in which storge is strong and growing.
Philia as Lewis describes it is the least natural (as in biological) in nature. The others are biologically necessary: storge – rearing a child, eros – creating a child, agape – providing for a child. But philia is a kind of love that has the least amount of impulse or emotion, and rather than looking to the loved one as its source, it looks to the "about" part of the friendship as its source. In other words, philia must have a common interest, theme, or "about" that draws people into friendship around it. Within a small group, this would be a shared love of Christ, and a shared desire to worship Him and grow in relationship with Him. From these shared interests, philia love may develop within the small group and may even extend itself beyond the bounds of the small group as members connect with each other throughout the week for shared meals or other shared activities. Increasing shared experiences outside a small group demonstrate a small group that is growing well and has a healthy dose of philia love within it.
Charity is a kind of love that is innate in God's character and a Christian virtue. It is a selfless love that always seeks the best for its recipient and asks nothing in return. This kind of love can be seen in the modern world through charity organizations, charitable donations to good causes, and the help of some groups of people during times of trouble (the earthquakes in Haiti for example). Charity in a small group may take on many forms, but the key is that it seeks to help others without asking for repayment. This may begin to be visible within a small group when someone volunteers to provide for a certain other need within the group without asking for repayment, or when outside needs are visible, individuals within the group, or the group itself may voluntarily provide for those needs. As this is the highest form of love, charitable giving and service, God's love can be seen most evidently through a small-group that freely expresses agape.
However, some groups, in their rush to "prove God's love" may only do charitable acts as a means of drawing attention to themselves, and they may ignore the other loves (storge, philia) that provide a solid context and base for this highest love. Agape, charitable love, never does service or gives for the sake of drawing attention to itself, even to "prove God's love." If charity is given in expectation of receiving anything (including simple attention), then it is not truly charity at all, but rather self-serving love posing as selfless love.
2. Communication
Every good small-group needs communication. Communication is no one-way street. Someone can't talk all the time and expect others to listen all the time. Good communication is an artful blending of the two sides of the street: part speaking, and part listening.
However, within a small-group, communication can sometimes be a hurdle to overcome, particularly in the beginning, and as people begin to be very comfortable with one another. Bring together a handful of people from a dozen different backgrounds and with just as many personalities, and communication is sure to be a thing that doesn't seem to come naturally, at first. In every group, there are talkers, and there are listeners, and there may be any range of extremes of either of these. At first, talkers will dominate the conversation within the group while listeners seem to just observe. Talkers may get frustrated with them and wonder why they are so quiet, or so shy, or why they "just aren't open to sharing." If given free rein, talkers may make those around them feel uncomfortable.
In Korea especially, when we are dealing with two different languages and people with varying skill levels in English (the small-group's language of choice), it can be very easy for English-speaking "talkers" to carry on a lengthy monologue while those who don't speak English natively may struggle to follow along, let alone think about their own answers to the questions. Therefore, it is important to always allow everyone an opportunity to share. Equally important is a translator to at least help explain the discussion, ask the questions, and summarize answers if need be. If nothing else, someone who is fluent in both languages may be able to clarify some points that would otherwise not be understood by one or more party.
However, within any small-group setting, bilingual or monolingual, members must also remember the first thing all small groups need: love. Ephesians 4:15 says:
15Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ.
And ultimately, that is the goal of a small-group, to grow up into him. Therefore, when we speak in small-group, we should do so in love. Likewise, when we listen, we should listen with love. And we should allow everyone a chance and part in the discussion. All of these things reflect the characteristics of the THIRD thing every small-group needs: Christ.
3. Christ
Without Christ in a small-group, there wouldn't be much point of meeting. After all, what separates a Christian small-group from a bowling club meeting, or a weekly poker club besides Christ? All three of those may demonstrate love as mentioned above: strong storge and familial closeness, philia friendship involving shared interests, even charity (charity bowling, or charity poker any one?). And all three of those may also demonstrate good communication: an equal amount of listening, talking, and participation by all members in the group. However, the one thing that Christian small-groups must have inherently present within them in order to be successful is Christ. He is the reason small-groups meet together. He is the goal that small-group members hope to grow into. A deeper relationship with Christ is the deep-seated reason small-groups meet together (though it may not be the only reason).
Some small-groups may demonstrate love and communication in abundance but still be lacking in the most essential ingredient that makes small-groups ultimately successful. Some small-groups meet to find new boyfriends or girlfriends. Some may meet to partake in a shared interest, like music (even worship music and worship teams). Some others may meet to escape boredom at home, or in the real world, some may just be meetings of friends who otherwise "wouldn't have time" to meet each other. But any small-group that does not have Christ as its central, deeply rooted reason for being, cannot grow as it should. A small-group without Christ cannot grow in deeper relationship with Him, it cannot grow in righteousness or holiness, it cannot grow in charitable service or giving, it cannot develop more real, authentic relationships among its members, and it certainly cannot serve others without Christ as its center (although any other name may suffice – "weekend bread-eating club" for example). As Christ himself says in John 15:5:
5"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing."
