ENV: Observations
As in last night, there's almost nothing around to speak of. One large sphinx on the mercury vapor pole. Five species of mayflies at the sheets. There does seem to be an influx of small Hemipterans of several species. A few odds and ends. It is breezy and noticeably cooler, though not really cool. Of course after stifling temperatures yesterday a forest fire would be cool.
Update: It's dawning cooler and a bit breezy. It's overcast, which may bode well. I did notice in a walk to the big light pole that the ground is literally covered in field crickets. Interesting because only a couple showed up at the lightsheets all night. I can feel one of those Friday Night Football games coming on where there are swarms of crickets at the lights. Oh, the fun of that! I'll post a story in the next few days about that kind of event.
1 p.m. and it has stayed mostly overcast, though there have been minutes of sun. The high so far has been 77 and that was an hour ago. It's going down . . .
Guess i was lucky to have checked out the patch so thoroughly yesterday -- today's it's been vacated for the most part.
Update again: Sun came out well at about 3 p.m. and activity picked up again quickly. Numbers not as high as yesterday but still good. A couple of new bugs for the patch -- a Pearl Crescent, which is usually present in numbers just down the road, was present today, and only my second ever Soldier for Rio Vista and the county. Photos of both coming later on.
Excellent night! Huge cricket emergence. Cool critters. Will write lots of notes later after i finish the Circus and work. But cool, very cool.

Studying can be tough when concentration doesn't come that easy. Here are a few strategies you can use to help your brain retain information quicker and easier.
1. Summarise
Summarising reduces the amount of material you have to remember. Once you have studied a section, reduce it to key words that give you a gist of what the section talks about. This will help you remember your answers better.
2. Recite Loudly
Speaking out loud instead of simply reading will help you remember and retain faster. When you read loudly, pay attention to what you're saying. Repeat it a few times until you can recall the information easily and accurately.
3. Make Abbreviations
If you have a long formula or too many points under a given topic, pick the initials of the points and create an abbreviation out of it. This helps you remember all the points in the answer. It will also ensure that you don't leave out any point that is essential. Before you write your answer, you can put down the abbreviation in pencil, write down all the points and then erase the abbreviation.
4. Teach What You Have Learned
The best way to understand something is to try and teach someone else. You can help a friend with theorems by explaining them in your style. This way, you will remember the theorems really well. While teaching, several questions that don't occur to you initially come to the forefront and can be resolved.
5. Team Up with a Friend
Teaming up with a friend is a good way to study. The mind absorbs more information via discussions and debates. You can help one another with difficult concepts, share ideas, quiz one another and solve several mathematical problems together.
6. Draw and Learn
Sometimes, if you don't get a concept, break it down and learn. Visualise the information and draw it on a piece of paper. Read the information and explain it through your diagram.
7. Discover New Ways to Learn
Finally, you can always find new techniques that work for you and use them to your advantage. For example, some people like to walk while studying as it helps them concentrate.

Well, I didn't think I would I would get to post this on the day that I thought I would. However, late is better than never( I have been very busy lately with trips out of town, which I don't necessarily like, since they keep me from my wife and children. However, the Lord has saw fit to give me a long weekend through Monday and for that I am grateful. I have had several posts on my mind and hopefully I will get to them today. The first is the one I mentioned in our discussions surrounding my previous post on eschatology.
I have been challenged by my friends in regards to literal interpretation. I confess there is literal interpretation, but that is in regards to the particular literature we are dealing with. Obviously we interpret different literature in light of the kind of literature it is. For instance, we don't interpret historical narrative in the same sense we interpret poetry and we don't interpret apocalyptic literature as we do historic narrative. The Bible is full of different kinds of literature. All have a literal interpretation. In other words, the meaning must be literal for it to have meaning. However, the methods in writing may be different, but with the same result.
In order to demonstrate this I am going to use some comments from a well known and highly respected Bible Teacher and pastor, which I personally love and admire. I am speaking of Dr. John MacArthur. Dr. MacArthur has been used in my life for many years now and I am a supporter of his ministry. God has used him to help me understand some things much clearer and in a couple of instances I have seen how he has made things less clear. Since he is a man, he is prone to error, just as I am. With that said, I want anyone who reads this to understand that I am not attacking Dr. MacArthur. I love and respect the man. However, I am going to attack the presuppositions and statements that are made, which I will quote and make my point about literal interpretation.
I finished up my study in Daniel, and saw nothing in the text that I do not believe has been fulfilled in the time of the Messiah until 70 AD and is being fulfilled in the growing of the kingdom of God represented by the stone "cut out without hands" that grew into a great mountain which filled the earth from Daniel 2. Since my mind won't allow me to totally leave the subject, since our other elder is coming up on Matthew 24 in a few short weeks, I am leaning toward going through Revelation. I decided to do some study in the book and see how Daniel and Matthew 24 fit in with Revelation. I am convinced that Daniel and Matthew 24 are specifically speaking to the time of Messiah and the destruction of Jerusalem that followed. I don't think the dispensational argument can consistently go through the text, unless it has an underlying presupposition that says these things must be future.
With that in mind I went to Dr. MacArthur's commentary on Matthew (Vol. 3: 24-28). I will be quoting from there and will give you the page numbers if you care to reference it. One of the first things that Dr. MacArthur says is on page 2.
"The teaching of the Olivet discourse is much debated and frequently misunderstood, largely because it is viewed through the lens of a particular theological system or interpretive scheme that makes the message appear complex and enigmatic. But the disciples were not learned men, and Jesus' purpose was to give them clarity and encouragement, not complexity and anxiety. The intricate interpretations that are sometimes proposed for this passage would have left the disciples utterly dumbfounded. It is preferable to take Jesus' words as simply and as strait forwardly as possible."
Now, I will first point out that when anyone says something remotely like, "frequently misunderstood, largely because it is viewed through the lens of a particular theological system or interpretive scheme", that red flags go up for me. The reason being, is that most believers who are reformed face the same kind of talk when we try explaining the doctrines of grace with our friends who do not believe them. They see us interpreting inside "our system". I don't have a problem with interpretations inside the system. That's what makes it a system. That's where we can see whether or not we are consistent. So when someone says such a thing, I am going to see if he interprets according to his system and MacArthur does just that. Matthew 24 is interpreted in light of a dispensational view. By the way, I am told that he is rethinking some of his dispensational views. I hope this is true.
Dr. MacArthur then takes the next few pages to discuss how the Jews expected their Messiah. He quotes from various sources including the Old Testament, the Mishna, and various other writings of the Jews.
Then on page 7 under the header, "Prophetic discussions with Jesus" he says the following,
"In fairness to the disciples, the Old Testament prophets also saw the Messiah's coming and establishing His kingdom as a single event. The church age was a mystery to them, a mystery, as Paul explained, "which has been kept secret for long ages past, but now is manifested. (Rom. 16:25-26)."
Ok, here is Dr. MacArthur looking through his own lens. Instead of seeing the gospel as he should as is also relevant to Ephesians 1, Dr. MacArthur speaks of the church as the mystery. That is clearly a dispensational lens. It is not a literal interpretation in regards to Romans 16, and since it is not correct it should not be imported into an interpretation of Matthew 24. Also, the kingdom was established. This is clearly tied to the "last days" in which is picture the coming of Messiah and the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple. The New Testament is filled with references to the kingdom already being established and the fact that we are in it now.
MacArthur then says on page 9 that he affirms that Jesus was talking about the destruction of the Temple and of Jerusalem in chapter 23. However, the questions from the disciples stem from the statements by Jesus in 23. MacArthur rejects audience relevance of what Jesus is saying and instead, like most dispensationalists, makes the passage speak to thousands of years into the future rather than the very plain understanding that Jesus was communicating, namely for that generation (24:34). To use Dr. MacArthur's own words, he makes the text complex and enigmatic, not clear and encouraging.
Dr. MacArthur then takes the approach that everything in Matthew 24 is for sometime in the future, taking an approach that does not see Daniel's 70 weeks as complete, but looking for some future Great Tribulation for physical Jews, of which I really question if that line is not completely mixed up. The reason for my thinking that is because no one can prove they are a physical descendant of Abraham: no one. All records were destroyed in the Temple during its destruction, this is one of the greatest reasons for believing Christ is who He said He was for Matthew and Luke record His genealogy for us so that we will know. Many speak of a rebuilt temple and the performing of sacrifices. The biggest question I have is who are the Levites? No one can prove it. No one is able to honestly come forward and prove they are from the tribe of Levi. What purpose would a new physical temple serve? After all, in the New Testament, believers are spoken of as the temple of the Holy Spirit and the church is also spoken of as a holy nation.
This helps us understand where Dr. MacArthur comes from. Before I give the particular example for our understanding of literal interpretation, I will quote MacArthur's own words in regards to why he is a premillenialist.
"I believe the prophetic passages of Scripture should be handled like any other portion of God's Word. The plain meaning of a text is the preferred interpretation. There's no reason to spiritualize or devise allegorical interpretations of Scripture if the literal sense makes good sense. Only if the context of a passage gives some compelling reason to assume the language is symbolic should we look for figurative meaning. Where the plain sense of Scripture makes good sense, there is no reason to seek any other sense. (The Second Coming, John F. MacArthur, pgs 22-23)"
Now in the main I agree. We should not look for different meanings if the passage is clear. However, MacArthur and others have used the same thing that he says he doesn't use in passages like Daniel 9:24-27. Therefore, he can have some future week, but in failing to understand the plain interpretation, he renders Christ's work outside of the 70 weeks, not within them and then promises a holocaust that will make WWII pale in comparison for physical Jews as well as the whole world. He will also not take into account in Matthew 24 the apocalyptic language that will be used in some of the verses.
Particularly we will look at verse 29. From my perspective and I think from the perspective of Christ and His disciples, Jesus was referencing His coming judgment upon Israel, so when tribulation is spoken of there it is the same tribulation spoken of by Daniel in 12:1. Jesus fulfilled those things that the prophets said about Him. Notice the verse we are looking at, including verse 30:
"Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory."
MacArthur takes this "literally". In other words he believes that Jesus is saying that there will be great cosmic "stuff" happening. Again, he takes into his commenting on the passage "literal" interpretations of numbers from Revelation such as the 144,000. However, I believe that since he has missed the main point as I stated in the first part of the post, his interpretation will follow and be further from the truth rather than closer to it. However, we recognize that all of the Word of God comes from God, yet written by men. If so, would it not do us good to see how God used the same language in the past? When Peter uses similar language in 2 Peter 3:10-14 is he implying the end of the physical world, or is he speaking about the destroying of a world, namely the world of the nation of Israel? Let me demonstrate why I think we should not see this passage as literal, but having a literal meaning.
In the book of Isaiah, chapter 34, we find the prophet prophesying God's judgment upon Idumea and the nations of the world in the days of Assyria and Babylon.
1 Come near, you nations, to hear; And heed, you people! Let the earth hear, and all that is in it, The world and all things that come forth from it.
2 For the indignation of the LORD is against all nations, And His fury against all their armies; He has utterly destroyed them, He has given them over to the slaughter.
3 Also their slain shall be thrown out; Their stench shall rise from their corpses, And the mountains shall be melted with their blood.
4 All the host of heaven shall be dissolved, And the heavens shall be rolled up like a scroll; All their host shall fall down As the leaf falls from the vine, And as fruit falling from a fig tree.
5 "For My sword shall be bathed in heaven; Indeed it shall come down on Edom, And on the people of My curse, for judgment.
6 The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, It is made overflowing with fatness, With the blood of lambs and goats, With the fat of the kidneys of rams. For the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah, And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7 The wild oxen shall come down with them, And the young bulls with the mighty bulls; Their land shall be soaked with blood, And their dust saturated with fatness."
8 For it is the day of the LORD'S vengeance, The year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
9 Its streams shall be turned into pitch, And its dust into brimstone; Its land shall become burning pitch.
10 It shall not be quenched night or day; Its smoke shall ascend forever. From generation to generation it shall lie waste; No one shall pass through it forever and ever.
Now notice the language used by the prophet. Did the mountains actually melt with blood (vs. 3)? Did the host of heaven dissolve (vs. 4)? Were the heavens rolled up like a scroll (vs. 4)? And their host fall down (vs. 4)? Was a literal sword bathed in blood in heaven (vs. 5)? When verses 9-10 reference burning pitch and the fire not quenched night or day and the smoke rising up forever, was that meant literally? Did judgment take place? Yes it did. God did judge the people, but the language of the prophet is apocalyptic. I cannot read this as a historical narrative except that there was a real judgment of God. Otherwise, I would have to conclude that God brought an end to the physical realm and somehow restored it all including the people He didn't judge, right? The prophet is simply using the picture of host of heaven and stars to refer to those who ruled over the people and their way of governing. The same seems to be true concerning the words of the Lord in Matthew 24. There was a total undoing of the governing of Israel to never be established again. Therefore, to them it would become a new world. You see this is apocalyptic language and both Jesus and John use it. They are familiar with how the Old Testament prophets spoke and they use the very same type of language. This is one of many examples that I could show that everyone, including those who say they take the texts literal, do in fact, on occasion not take things literally. However, even when they don't, they usually have a literal meaning that they derive from the symbolism or the language. I do believe it also applies to numbers that are used in the Revelation as well. Though I think some numbers are more clearly to be taken at face value rather than at an exact, such as the number of the beast, for we are told that the number is there to give wisdom and that number is not three sixes, but rather is six hundred and sixty-six.
Also, let me point out the apocalyptic language of verse 30 of Matthew 24. You see that Jesus employees the same kind of language again in 26: 64,
Jesus said to him, "It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven."
Interestingly enough Matthew, Mark, and Luke give the account of the Olivet Discourse. However John is the only gospel writer who does not include it in his gospel, but it appears that Revelation is his commentary on the Olivet Discourse. We will note that John also uses the same phraseology in chapter one of Revelation and verse 7.
Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen.
Notice that John speaks of Christ coming in the clouds and specifically references those who pierced him seeing this. This is obviously not for some people thousands of years in the future, but is in reference to the Lord's own words of the generation that He spoke to. Thus John began the Revelation with,
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants----things which must shortly take place. And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John, who bore witness to the word of God, and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, to all things that he saw. Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near.
He also references the fact that the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Tribes is a better rendering than the AV gives. However, we will note that the Greek word here for earth is the same word used for "land". This would give us a better understanding of the purpose of the book if we understand that it is concerning the judgment of the tribes in the land and that land is the area of Jerusalem.
Many, like Dr. MacArthur argue that when this "coming" happens that is referenced in Matthew 24 and that in Revelation 1 that what is referenced is a literal seeing with the eyes Jesus Christ in the clouds coming in judgment. Now that may or may not be. We are told by the angels in Acts 1:11 that Jesus would return in like manner. However, to better help understand this apocalyptic language; let's look at how it was used in the Old Testament. After all there we find a basis for our hermeneutic in regards to the language.
God is referenced in the Old Testament as being surrounded by clouds as a picture of His holiness and righteous judgment (Gen. 15:17; Ex. 13:21-22; 14:19-20; 19:9, 16-19; Deut. 4:11; Job 22:14; Psa. 18:8ff.; 97:2; 104:3; Isa. 19: 1; Eze. 32:7-8). He is also poetically portrayed as coming in the clouds (Psa. 18:7-15; 104:3; Isa.19:1; Joel 2:1, 2; Nab. l:2ff.; Zeph. 1:14, 15).
Isaiah 19:1 is one of the passages that probably best illustrates the point. There we read,
The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.
Now, did Egypt actually see God riding on a cloud? No. Did God judge Egypt? Yes. Again, the apocalyptic language helps us identify a literal meaning from the specific imagery used. This is part of the problem I see when someone says that something should be literally interpreted.
I still hold that the thousand years spoken of in chapter 20 of Revelation does not have to be taken literally in order to be understood. For if I am correct in assuming the early date of Revelation and that in fact speaks to God's judgment upon Jerusalem, then it would make perfect sense to understand the thousand years to follow that time. With that in mind, I am also going to post some reasons regarding internal evidence for the early writing of Revelation. I am eager to hear from some who hold to a late date writing for Revelation (90-96 AD) and any internal evidence you might have. If you say it is because the church has always held to this then that is not internal evidence. That is not sola scriptura.

- To season meat (we have used it on chicken and beef) cook the meat through and drain it. Add seasoning to meat - other users said somewhere between 2 and 3 tablespoons is equivalent to a seasoning packet - also add some water to the meat. Stir then cover over medium-low heat until the water cooks off.

This is a story that could enter the collection of Malaysian jokes or bloopers.
The Marine Department built a jetty that gets submerged during high tide and the MB suggests that the government should not be blamed.
He should have gone after the contractor who is probably one of the listed cronies in the government's list and who do you think will pay for the remedial works?
Such gross incompetence – with the Internet one can easily get details of tide levels anywhere and even anyone who does not live near the coast can find easy answers.
As for the Marine Department, the person who approved the plans should be sacked or transferred to somewhere in the interior. What a disgrace!

Found this quote recently and thought I should share;
All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts…
In other words.
There's two ways to read it: Fake it 'til you make it, as in, fake it until you're successful, until everybody sees you the way you want, etc. Or, fake it til' you make it, as in, pretend to be making something until you actually make something. I love that idea.

Skiing in SL? Sure! Why not? Phin and I went to Tahoa Mountain Resort to try it out...In RL, I've always been terrified to ski, always opting out once I got to the ski lodge and looked up at the mountains. Inworld, I stood at the top, realizing I needed to get to the bottom...
Oh crap! TREES!It was so much fun I had to do it again! There's an info card there called "Where to ski in SL". Try it!

A Simple Check Mark Can Save Millions of Dollars
So the other day I am reading an article that a leading insurance broker is announcing the formation of a separate retail agency to focus on smaller and emerging growth companies. This segment pays approximately $80 billion in insurance premiums annually. However, the part of the article which really caught my attention was the statement by the executive of this new operation was that they will not be servicing 'global companies'.
I assume I know what he meant by his statement, but I wonder why say it? My experience is that growth companies are 'global' companies. Not in the way that Coca Cola or UPS are global companies, but do the owners, or any of their employees travel overseas? Do they have any sales outside of the U.S.? Most companies that provide coverage for the U.S. firms with international exposures make available simple questions to ask Clients. If the Client answers YES to any of them, then the agent has identified a 'global' exposure. Examples of these checklists can be found at ACE Advantage and AIG World Source.
It should be poinedt out that 46% of all U.S. businesses currently have sales in jurisdictions other than the U.S. With this fact always on my mind, I am astounded when I encounter professional insurance agents during my travels who appear oblivious to their Clients operations, knowing how easily they can find insurance products to protect their Clients assets – financial and human.
There is enough uncertainty in today's economy. Take a moment to use a simple checklist, create your own if necessary, and save businesses millions of dollars.

Before I begin this post I would like to pray that anyone reading this would be covered with the precious Blood of Yahshua HaMashiach/Jesus the Christ. I pray that a hedge of protection of His Holy Fire surround you and that His wisdom will open your mind and heart to the truth. Amen.
A New Age website awhile back printed some letters by some so called "aliens" who are communicating to their human slaves. These letters ended up getting printed and were a total shock to the New Age community who insisted they be taken off the site. Thankfully a young lady named Virginia who owns the blog Mystery of the Iniquity made copies of the letters and saved them or they would be forever lost. Some people believe that these "aliens" are coming to save us from ourselves and to help the enlightened human beings on Earth to ascend. That the entire planet is going to go through a shift that will lead to peace and harmony, a sort of New Age garden of Eden. Nothing could be further from the truth.
The fact is that these "aliens" are not extraterrestrials at all but rather demons. Normally they keep their cover very well. They are extremely clever and superb at deception. They sound very loving and caring and concerned as you will see in the beginning of the letters. But a second letter reveals more truth than I have ever witnessed from a demon. This demon lost his self control, blew his cover and let his contempt and hatred for this race come through loud and clear. But did the New Ager's wake up and ask what is wrong with this picture? No. They would not believe this letter. All of the previous letters were taken as communications from these beings, taken basically as gospel. But the one that actually HAD the truth in it they rejected. My guess is that this demon is still paying for this big flub.
Here are the letters as they appeared on that site:
Man has overpopulated and poisoned this world…stop praying for armegeddon so that Jesus can come, you understand not.
we have been doing a lot of replacements all over the globe in various political offices, and in the media.
Beloveds, we are taking down everything in this world that must collapse.
There may be collapse of the ability to fully deliver food and necessities, and we have huge stockpiles to assist this.
now is still a good time to have some stocks of necessities. There will be considerable unemployment from this.
As we collapse the financial industry, you will have all your debts written off. We are collapsing the banking system completely. But there may be great restrictions in gasoline for them.
For those that rent, nearly all tenements have loans, which will also be written off.
People may well have to force their landlords to reduce or eliminate rents. There will considerably less need to spend money. People will be solving their problems which can include moving of families together and the like. Man will have to solve some of his issues around this. People have to see the collapse. There will be great gnashing of teeth.
During this period people will be offered the opportunity to MOVE to craft and some of their future destinations. The declining conditions should help motivate those choices.
There will be an address by the newly placed Obama. This will then be carried around the world by normal media. The announcement process will begin in a day or two after.
Now, you should be seeing the need for our replacements. Most will look close enough to the originals, using various technologies we have, to pass and a little makeup will help.
These are basically clones, inhabited by "star fleet" personnel, in other words ensouled and these ones all are very aware of their roles.
We have been setting up "traps" to engage those that are problems and removing them.
embedded in the churches, as this has been a huge program, to get certain ones to discredit us as being demons from space and the like.
and one of the things we will do is shut down quite a few forums, so these ones have no outlet to spoil our show.
We keep discovering new folks that must be replaced, and making a clone takes 36 hours plus about another 36 hours of programming to them after the soul inhabits them.
We…will be bypassing man's satellites with our own communications for the television. That is why you were told there will be us and the news and that is it for those 3 months. We will control it all. What will man do? Well, he is going to discover his spirit.
We are realizing we need to close up many avenues of communication, which may have to include all radio, except in places that have inadequate television. We will not close the internet, but we have entered many codes to take down internet sites that are going to fight this.
Man does not have the free will to destroy what God plans to give as education.
People are going to get a fair opportunity to make up their minds, minus the deliberate deceiving.
We were appalled personally that this topic was even broached by the individuals that started the thread, and other threads. This is why certain forums will not run and that includes many Christian forums and websites
Sherry Shriner, you are one of those on that list who will not be broadcasting either. Interestingly, those forums and the like within Islam are far less a concern that Christian ones.
There are many good people who have of course never heard of AbundantHope that will also step into service at this time locally where they live. It will be almost automatic for them. As man adjusts, more will naturally come into service.
we are getting the troops home all over the world…these ones need to be around to serve within their various countries.
Be patient as always and focus on how you will help as this world comes down. I still advise above, that yea ones stock up on essentials, including your medicines and the like as you can.
We are going to give the WORD that was promised in the End times, to the Globe via Global TV.
This is the ONLY way we can get it to EVERYONE on this planet, before the earth changes really go into effect.
You are interfering with that truth Freedom Stands. You do not have the freedom anymore to screw with God. So be it. That is why we are going to turn off the many blogs and forums that will be used to discredit the truth. Perhaps into the process they can be reopened for discussion. We do not need the likes of what YOU are presenting to turn people to fear of God. We will turn YOU off, meaning your opportunity to post, at a selected time.
People are going to see us helping them out.
These one billion, as stated will be awakened before the end of stasis. When they are boarded to craft, they will be put into stasis on craft, because they are not to have yet earned this experience and are not to watch what is done during stasis. They are not ready for the teaching that will fit them better when they are awakened to the repaired planet. They will get some preliminary teaching once awakened on ship.
As to the animals, if they are of God they just rest in the stasis, and survive very nicely the time when the planet is upright and still during the magnetic pole reversal. They are also put into stasis however, because the stress of a pole reversal is terrifying and of course, since there will be much volcanization with the reversal and with the axis changes, they must be in stasis, because their bodies would otherwise die of oxygen deprivation. We ALWAYS put a planet into stasis when the animals must be protected for anything major of this sort. So they will happily sleep.
Those of you returning to the planet, will have your pets provided for, and depending on what you are doing they may stay with you during stasis or sleep thru stasis and return to you later. Please do not write questions of this sort to Candace, she has so little time lately between her responsibilities with us and never ending time consuming issues with the dark harassments. You can wait and find out when it happens. We will also be doing teaching that may answer many your questions, because the rest of the planet has a lot more questions than you will have!
We know not the exact timing yet on the pickup because sometimes shit happens, as you all are fond of saying
At the time during the teaching process that we begin to show of our selves, you in the know, MUST at that time put aside your worries about how you will be reacted too.
Some of your family members are going to finally "get it." Some may not and if they do not under reasonable conditions, put your time elsewhere.
Do not keep trying to give pearls to people that want only rocks.
It is after all, the final sorting. Well almost, there will continue to be sorting after the long stasis as people pass then, because some aren't going to earn their ascension.
"so I think that if one thing works out, it leads to New world Order, if it doesnt work out they will take control of a fake rebellion and pretend its overthrown and a NEW WORLD ORDER is established"
"WW2 might have worked like that as well, either option leading to a World Government such as the UN or whatever the Axis would've established, which was probably going to be a UN as well, and even if the Communists were to take over the world it would be the same globalist plan."
"notice the political parties pretend to be on different sides but both now seem to be working towards Globalism"
"The Globalist agenda is to control and manage the entire population of the Earth with the utmost strictness, and population has been a major concern."
That should be obvious freedom, about physical death on this world. There are an awfully lot of bodies in the earth now. This is temporary experiencing. these bodies do NOT work in "heaven." You are given better bodies there. I don't know why christians think these shitty meat suits go to heaven. Dark experiences are experiences generate from either pure evil intent, or on the lesser side, ignorance. LIGHT means in one form, KNOWLEDGE and Darkness means in the same measure Ignorance. This civilization is terribly ignorant and many will not seek liight, which is true knowledge.
Aton is trying to convince you, if you wish to use that word, to return to whence you came, to the lighter realms. You cannot use these bodies there.
Be in Peace, please. I am christ Michael/Aton.
The ships plan to take "1 billion"….at the very least!
Letter 2:
The Sirians will be making mass landings on Earth to help us through the experience of the photon belt (The mass landings will occur 2-6 months before the photon belt reaches us).
Come the ending of this year it will be the last one of its kind. From hereon the changes will manifest in a destructive way, that will tell you beyond doubt that you have broken away from the right ways. Even for those with little or no knowledge of the end times a sense of doom for the slaughter will destroy them.
You have been going through some of the easiest times you have ever experienced with lots of food and clean water to drink, but you shall be more than destroyed by the darkness descending upon Earth. It will take announcement of the coming destruction to fully awaken people to what an utterly horrifying period you are entering.
Much depends upon your successful eradication, so that the whole Universe can also breathe a sigh of relief that the potential pandemic of the human virus has FINALLY been eradicated once and for all.
How we wish we could shout the news from the treetops, but for the time being we have to approach the whole matter in an orderly manner so as not to panic the populace too much lest any of you escape the planet and spread the virus elsewhere. It is essential that we do not cause shock or confusion by our actions, and this is where we need to co-ordinate our progress with our allies upon Earth. At present many of you unaware that you are enlisted in our activities, but until the right time we cannot reveal your identities. Your potential for slaughter has already been recognized, and pre-planning has ensured that you are primed and eager to start the final stages of Earth's destruction.
It is not that you are lacking ideas as to how to deal with the problems connected with your environment, and many now wait some opportunity to use their expertise in the weapons of mass destruction. You have been impressed with many wonderful ideas as to how to totally destroy the Earth and its people. Therefore, moving up another level of doom will seem quite natural, and we shall train personnel to use our advanced weapon technology. Speed will be of the essence, and with our help we shall successfully work together as a team that shall achieve total and horrifying demise for your pathetic race. Mother Earth will be pleased, and able to delay what would inevitably have been some serious physical changes, because the virus called humanity will finally be killed.
Transport and communications will be amongst the first things that will be destroyed, but our allies must be able to move freely around the world and keep in touch with their base. Much of the directions that will accompany you will be given on board our ships, and we can download information into your consciousness in a way that requires little or no time. You will not of course be on your own, and we will be delighted to work with you. Over long periods of time many of you (Politicians, military, Illuminati)have been closely associated with us, and unbeknown to you we have often met and laid down the plans that are to be implemented.
What a wonderful time of horror and slaughter is ahead, and what a relief it will be to you to throw of restrictive practices and controls that prevent your free and uninterrupted destruction. We will ensure that our plan is put over to you in a clear and simple way, and it is our announcements and subsequent communications that will put beyond doubt our intentions for you all. Of necessity we will need to land some of our craft upon Earth, but a mass showing of our presence will come at a later date. There will be plenty of time to acquaint you with our teams of destruction.
Weather control will be our responsibility, and we will ensure that it is totally destructive to you, and in a very short time you will find yourselves in a unlivable climate. Presently you suffer from the tampering with your weather patterns, and it has not been intended for your good. The demise of Atlantis was because the Atlantean's played with powerful energies that they could not control, and you will all face a similar situation because for our coming. We have absolutely every intention of allowing the dark forces to have a free hand to destroy your Earth. Already they know of our presence, and have experienced our permission to sanction their actions.
We know that Man is at heart a totally corrupt Being, and all that is required to bring his evil men to the front is to remove the constant threat of his freedom. So many of your "lost souls" will respond to our coming and the destruction we bring. We will show you that you are spiritually doomed Beings, with an enormous potential to bring death and destruction to the universe. It is your natural state, and we shall release you from the intense laws and regulations that bar your way by eradicating you before you escape your planet.
Doomed Ones, I am SaLuSa from Sirius and I have come with orders to destroy you, because you still have not learned about all life around you, and we shall ensure that you are destroyed and cleansed of life as soon as possible. Busy times are ahead for us, enjoyable times where death and destruction will have first place. Be in doom and despair at the prospect of taking a great leap forward into your certain demise, because there will be no going back to the old ways – never again."

text: If cinnamon can knock out E.coli 0157:H7, today one of the most virulent food-borne microorganisms that exists, it'll certainly have antimicrobial effects on additional common food-borne bacteria such as Campylobacter and Salmonella. Now experts from Tel Aviv University found that extracts from cinnamon bark inhibit the toxic amyloid polypeptide oligomers and fibrils which have been found in Alzheimer's Disease human brain plaque formations. In pet models of Alzheimer's, cinnamon reduced s-amyloid plaques associated with the pathology of AD. Reduced amount of these proteins can improve mental cognition.It is vital that people carefully consider the key communications emanating from such analysis to inform future plan and determine greatest practice on how to meet up with the long term requirements of children in care.' Dr Dominic McSherry, a Senior Study Fellow at the Institute of Kid Care Study at Queen's School of Sociology, Social Policy and Social Work, is the publication's lead writer. He said: 'This research reveals several important insights and patterns about the lives of young children in care.

97.5 The Fanatic is bringing back former Philadelphia Eagles running back Brian Westbrook for the 2016 NFL season. The radio station announced that Westbrook will join The Fanatic's weekly Pre-Game Show alongside returning hosts Devon Givens and Michael Bradley. The Fanatic Pre-Game show airs 3 hours before every Eagles game.
In addition to his pre-game duties, Westbrook will also appear on The Fanatic every Friday from 4-5pm with Mike Missanelli. Brian has been a regular contributor to 97.5 The Fanatic having co-hosted a Midday Show with Harry Mayes during the 2014 season and hosted his own show with The Fanatic as a player during the 2008 season.
"I'm very excited to expand my role with The Fanatic," said Brian Westbrook. "Working on the Pre-Game Show will allow me to talk to the most passionate fans in the country hours before kickoff."
97.5 The Fanatic also announced their Post-Game Show will be hosted by Eytan Shander and Geoff Mosher immediately after every Eagles game.

"About 60% of adults do not have a Living Will, and it appears that fewer still have taken the time to appoint a power of attorney to make health care decisions on their behalf in case they become unable to do so themselves"
Palm Springs, CA (PRWEB) January 09, 2012
On January 9th, FindLegalForms.com used a list of the most popular New Year's resolutions according to USA.gov to create a New Year's resolution for their customers for 2012. The most popular New Year's resolutions revolved around health, health care, and financial well being. Knowing that it is difficult to change habits though and at times, with so many other commitments, those resolutions get put aside, FindLegalForms.com created a package that would benefit their customers' health care while also providing a cost savings.
The package of legal forms allows the customer to answer two questions: "What might I hand down? And to whom, and when, and how?" and "Have hospitalization issues been considered?".
They sent an email to their customer database asking a number of questions including: "do you have a Last Will and Testament already prepared, signed, and notarized?"
"About 60% of adults do not have a Living Will, and it appears that fewer still have taken the time to appoint a power of attorney to make health care decisions on their behalf in case they become unable to do so themselves", says Will Cooper, the marketing manager for FindLegalForms.com, "the numbers shocked me."
Living Wills allow an individual to give instruction in advance as to what medical procedures should be performed on them, or not performed on them, in the event that the individual becomes incapacitated and thus is not then able to communicate his or her wishes. This may occur if the individual suffers from severe dementia or is in a comma, or has been put on life support, for example. Since it is very difficult to plan for every possible future health care scenario, FindLegalForms.com insists it is also important to appoint someone you trust to make health care decisions on your behalf should the time come that you are not capable of making those decisions yourself -- and if there are no relevant instructions in your Living Will. This is accomplished by completing a power of attorney document that delegates the authority the grantor chooses to bestow upon the trusted grantee. The delegation also indicates when that authority becomes effective.
"At one time this would have been an intimidating New Year's Resolution to keep, but thanks to the internet, it is actually pretty easy to do" says Mr. Cooper. There are a number of websites that offer easy-to-use templates for almost every estate-planning document you will need. Mr. Cooper urges consumers to be wary of offers for "free" documents — for there are quite a number of such "teasers" and "come-ons" propositioned via the internet. "Make sure the legal document templates you purchase have been created by an attorney and are particular to the state in which you reside" he says.

I remember creating a Blogger account last summer, and I totally went all out on it, and it was amazing and everything, but I can't remember what email I used or what it was called...so here we are! Starting over!
I really wish I could find my review of Sing Me to Sleep though, that was pretty bad a**.
Anyway, I'm Madisyn!
I have multiple accounts on social media because I'm obviously an obsessed book nerd that dedicates her life to books and accounts dedicated to books.
Here's a beautiful list of important things to help you get to know me better:

So add me up on all things social media! Be cool! Let's be besties, fellow book nerds!
I really have nothing else important or exciting to say at this moment, so I'm gonna try to get some book reviews up tomorrow. Well, either that or do homework, but I'd much rather do some book reviews.
Love you all!
Talk to you soon!

Joshua Chapter 4The Holy Bible, King James Version
4:1And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over Jordan, that the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,
4:2Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man,
4:3And command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of the midst of Jordan, out of the place where the priests' feet stood firm, twelve stones, and ye shall carry them over with you, and leave them in the lodging place, where ye shall lodge this night.
4:4Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of every tribe a man:
4:5And Joshua said unto them, Pass over before the ark of the LORD your God into the midst of Jordan, and take you up every man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according unto the number of the tribes of the children of Israel:
4:6That this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean ye by these stones?
4:7Then ye shall answer them, That the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it passed over Jordan, the waters of Jordan were cut off: and these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever.
4:8And the children of Israel did so as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of Jordan, as the LORD spake unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel, and carried them over with them unto the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.
4:9And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests which bare the ark of the covenant stood: and they are there unto this day.
4:10For the priests which bare the ark stood in the midst of Jordan, until everything was finished that the LORD commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua: and the people hasted and passed over.
4:11And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over, that the ark of the LORD passed over, and the priests, in the presence of the people.
4:12And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses spake unto them:
4:13About forty thousand prepared for war passed over before the LORD unto battle, to the plains of Jericho.
4:14On that day the LORD magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of his life.
4:15And the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,
4:16Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of Jordan.
4:17Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come ye up out of Jordan.
4:18And it came to pass, when the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD were come up out of the midst of Jordan, and the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up unto the dry land, that the waters of Jordan returned unto their place, and flowed over all his banks, as they did before.
4:19And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, in the east border of Jericho.
4:20And those twelve stones, which they took out of Jordan, did Joshua pitch in Gilgal.
4:21And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones?
4:22Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.
4:23For the LORD your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were gone over:
4:24That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the LORD, that it is mighty: that ye might fear the LORD your God for ever.

Never Say Die
With reference to my earlier posts on Midas Laws of Commitment and Practical Physics , I have some new news. Its a mixture of good and bad news. So, which one should i write first, good or bad?? We are in habit of copying celebrities, their hair style, dresses, shoes, ear rings etc etc. So, to decide, which news i should write first, i decided to copy Padma Lakshmi. She first announced the good news that she is pregnant and then because of privacy issues, she refused to name the baby's father. Let's hope she becomes certain of it before the baby's birth.
So, good news is that Midas has got expertise in psychology and sociology. As, in the last post i mentioned that he expected his crush to feel the need of some luv-suv to fend off her loneliness as her friends are getting hooked up. His forecast turned true, so its a good news that now we can get Midas's expertise for other girls. Now, the bad news is that the guy is not Midas.
Midas is a changed man.(Anyone will be after two consecutive set backs.) Two nights back, i was talking to him regarding how he was feeling and if he had thought of any new target. Instead of usual answer like," koi nai, teesri mil jayegi and chalta hai". Midas replied in a very calm and serene voice," These two relationships have taught me that you have to wait for the right person."
I wondered if there was any relationship. You can't term gazing , saying 'excuse me' in mess, a relationship.
me: you know.......you are talking like a looser.
Midas(continuing in his calm voice): There is nothing like win and lose. It is about meeting people with same frequency.
Next day to our discussion, our college's Technical fest, Quark, started. Here people love dancing. Play Munni and Shiela, and you see herds of guys and girls flocking around. There was a food court, where one of the stalls was playing songs and in half an hour around 100 people started dancing there. We 10 people too were dancing and suddenly an outstation participant asked if she could join us. We were more than welcome for her. After our party was over, Midas came with face full of excitement. Then he informed us how he struck a conversation with that girl. She was from Punjab and blah blah. And she was here to participate in BITS-MUN.(Model United Nation)
Next day, Midas was seen in his black shirt, denim jeans standing outside Lecture Theatre.(venue of BITS MUN).
(This is sort of uniform for him. He wears it whenever he visits place where there is a chance to impress upon girls. You see, important occasions.)
Interestingly, his laptop password is ,"Never Say Die."

Another instalment of my series where I take my hoarded inspiration and actually convert it into projects.
Inspiration for this round:
First of all, if you haven't heard of Adele from Inkie Quill, what are you doing?! Go check her out right now! Her videos are freaking amazing! I love her to bits, but I'm sort of scared of the youtube community, so I watch as a silent observer. But Adele, if you ever read this (which is highly unlikely), I love your videos so much. Thank you for sharing your - wait for it- radness with the world. and thank you for also reintroducing the words 'freaking' and 'rad' to my vocabulary.
So, inspired by Adele, I decided I'd like to scraplift the layout created in the video above, and attempt my own grab 5 (I hope she doesn't mind!)
My five items are:
1) This 6x6 paper pad that has been in my stash since 2007. Yup. That long. I needed to get rid of it.
2) These wood veneer quotes by Studio Calico.
3) The Elle's Studio Cienna stamp.
4) Some lilac washi tape.
5) And something from my sequin/gem tin.
This is what I created!
Because I am weird and play underwater hockey and when I made my protective glove I dyed the silicone lilac and lime green. Because I'm awesome. Everyone knows its me. Which, when you're playing at the bottom of the pool, is always a good thing, as communication isn't really that easy...
Anyway, the scrapbooking.
I managed to use all five of the products I'd chosen in this layout, so that's the grab 5 part checked. It's a really great idea, and I hope to try it again. In terms of the actual layout, I flipped the page 90 degrees so it ran horizontally instead of vertically. I loved layering up all of the little pieces, the purple and green, though outdated in terms of the supplies in the scrapbook world, remain one of my more favourite colour combinations.
Which probably makes me strange, I know.

I was contacted today by the CBC website news department asking whether I would like to participate in their Your Interview program. In the format, people can write in to submit their questions and then later in the day I write my answers, which are then posted on the website. Here is the link to find next Thursday...
So, please think up some interesting questions about my adventures in a blue chair all over the world, and maybe yours will be chosen to be answered and published.
Finally, some progress at CBC....will they finally put me on air at some point? We'll see.

|Wolverine Peak from Backdoor Trail
|Backdoor Trail
|Hemlock Gap to Wolverine Peak
|Wolverine Peak Closer Now
Even Closer and Sunny!
|Setting Sun at Latitude 61 Thanksgiving Friday
|Anchorage from Wolverine Peak
|Snowing and Getting Dark, Time to Go Home
Wolverine Peak with its 4500 ft front range elevation contributes to the desception that it's really close. It's one of those destinations that one can see for a long time, and hour-after-hour, it seems like it's never getting closer. Today, Wolverine summit was just as far as always, but it was a rare windfree day with excellent skiing.

It's weird. Today, in the middle of nothing, after crying and feeling lost I suddenly realized why I felt so sad and utterly lonely. I no longer had any identity. I had always been doltoid's wife and had done what he wanted. Now I was without an identity! Who was I? I had always been defined by something, someone...usually twit-brain and what he expected. But here I was. Alone. No one. Nothing. And no me!!!!! Who the heck am I? No wonder I felt so much waiting, drifting. "I" had vanished.
Verbal abuse is extremely insidious. The effects evolve so gradually that you don't even notice it. Part of verbal abuse is a slow but deadly process of isolation until your life revolves around the abuser. Neither party seems to be aware of it happening. The fear of doing something wrong, real or imagined is crippling so you wait to "read" the abuser. What kind of a mood is he in? You can't make plans with friends because he/she may come home and have other plans. If you aren't available he'll get mad, sulk and possibly worse. You don't want to make him mad. As an outsider reading this, it probably sounds ludicrous that an adult could not see what was happening. However, if this is what you grew up with, how would you ever know there was anything different?
I've talked to a few other women who have experienced this and broken free, and they've said the same thing. In every case so far, the abuser acts impeccable in public and everyone thinks you live a dream life. What's good is that once the victim is really out of the pattern, they all see the process, if only gradually. Sadly it seems the abuser never really sees this and if it's pointed out to them, they get angry and deny it. But I digress.
The longer I'm away from him, the more things I've been able to see; become aware of. I only wish it hadn't taken so long for me to wake up. So much time has been lost. This post reminded me of a quote. It's from Camryn Manhein:
"While We Wait…
Waiting, waiting, waiting. All my life, I've been waiting for my life to begin, as if somehow my life was ahead of me, and someday I would arrive at it."

In case you have discovered a broker with quite higher commission fees, you can almost certainly locate a less costly method of trading.
When starting an account, take notice of the bare minimum expense necessity. Selecting a low prerequisite is a superb course of action if you are just commencing, but it really may well restrain you generating the earnings you have been planning on after you improve. You should upgrade your profile or move to another dealer once you improve your skills.

Is robert plant dating patty griffin 100 freeadult dating in sa
If they are indeed husband-and-wife, this is Plant's second marriage.He divorced Maureen Wilson, the mother of his three children, in 1983.That's clear to me now, and it wasn't when I was younger.
The rest of us are paying a larger percentage of our incomes than they are.
While the news has not been officially confirmed, the iconic Led Zeppelin frontman is certainly hinting that he has tied the knot with the Americana darling. It's unclear if Plant was serious about eloping and if so, when and where the nuptials took place.
"I tap my hand on the table and they fly out the walls in this huge cloud, like something from a Disney film," he said.
She also features prominently on 's eponymous 2010 album.
Like a learned Greek philosopher, Patty Griffin has a lot of wisdom to communicate regarding her uplifting new album, Servant of Love, her 10th. "I'm really bad at saying this stuff," she confesses, reluctantly.

Not much going on lately, or I should say not much fun going on lately. This week I have parent-teacher conferences for two nights in a row (here they're called Student Led Conference). That means that the past week has been dedicated to preparing for these nights and that I will be dead tired all week. Good things are happening too though. We're thinking of going to New York in the spring to visit John's brother Carl and I think I've discovered some renewed enthusiasm for my Enrichment calling. So here's what we've been up to lately:
1. Grading
2. Filling out student/teacher assessment sheets for 200 kids
3. Planning enrichment activities
4. Not exercising
5. Reading one of John's books, Elantris (not bad)
1. Programming
2. Exercising
3. Playing "a game where you kill Satan"
We did purchase those books and I'm so excited to see them arrive on our doorstep!

Lately, I've been reading a great deal of literature that is categorized by the publisher as "Young Adult", but this is the first book I've read that falls into my pre-conceived notion of what that is. Before I started reading so much of it, I thought that the category dealt with teenagers and growing up, or at least functioned as a tool to help them do so... sort of a public service announcement or an "After School Special". Although, I've been rethinking the definition (this would be a great book club discussion topic, Christine), this book is NOT the reason. Please, don't take that as a dis of this book, cuz it certainly isn't meant that way. "After School Specials" can be very touching and generally have a good message to impart. Lock and Key is certainly both of those things.
Although she has published a number of books, this is the first Sarah Dessen book I have read. It won't be the last (in fact, I have another queued in my MP3 player right now) although I must confess that it was not love at first sight. I had to warm up to this book, but thaw, I did. I have a number of criticisms that I'm mostly willing to forgive at this point. Although set in reality, there's an element of unlikeliness that can easily be picked at. Like many Nora Roberts books, the events in this story COULD happen, but most likely wouldn't happen the way they've been written.
In Lock and Key, 17 year old Ruby is taken in, by her older sister Cora, after being abandoned by her alcoholic mother. Ruby has been forced to rely on herself for the past 10 years (after Cora left for college) and consequently become leary of people in general, as well as fiercely self reliant.
Both a strength and a weakness of this book is its meticulous construction. For me, it didn't feel as organic as other books I've read, but at the same time it was marvelously well "built". The "lock and key" theme is used effectively, if not subtley, as a metaphor throughout. Events portrayed in the book have specific reasons for being there and efficiently facilitate the growth of our protagonist. Sarah is another straight forward writer. The book is not heavy on prose or intricate description, but the dialogue felt natural and she's good at characterization.
My major knock on this book is the change in pacing. Sarah takes her time developing her characters and getting them from point A to point B, but at the end there is a mad rush to tie things up. It's like she was limited to a certain word count and suddenly realized she was going to exceed it if she didn't sum things up.
I've seen a couple reviews where people have complained about the language (which i totally missed) and the use of drugs and alcohol. Personally, I think these are elements that were under utilized given the subject matter of the book, but I guess you should be warned if this kind of thing offends your sensibility.

For Aaron's 33rd birthday, Michelle decided to throw him a surprise party! She invited a bunch of friends to their Columbus apartment, and Mer, Joey and I headed up.
The party was a huge success! Aaron was completely surprised. Michelle made tons of food, and I got to meet a lot of nice people. I even fought in a grape war!
The next morning, we headed to the North Star Café, my new favorite place to eat in Columbus. Mer and I shared the Cloud Nine pancakes, which are made with ricotta cheese! They might have been the best pancakes I've ever eaten. We also shared a tofu breakfast burrito. The weather was beautiful, and we ate out on the patio. I got a love note sent over to me! I guess it was rude of me not to acknowledge it with a wave, but I've got to admit, I was feeling a little hungover until those pancakes kicked in!
After breakfast, we headed to Jeni's Ice Cream for a delicious sampling extravaganza. Then we got some ice cream cones and headed back to Athens.

Letter of the Head of the UGCC to Ukraine's Ministry of Deference in readiness for military chaplain serviceWednesday, 05 March 2014, 12:56 Honourable Ihor Teniukh, Minister of Defence of Ukraine

- The Head of the UGCC in Krylos: "God – He, who calls us to depths of the sea and goes with us"
The Ukrainian Greco-Catholic Church with trepidation observes the development of affairs is Ukraine. Especially troubling is the threat of the breach of peace in our country. The Church has always allowed for the use of all just means for the achievement of peace and concord. Upon the Armed Forces rests an important mission: to stand in defence of the homeland and defend its territorial integrity and independence.
For a number of years now, the Church has devoted considerable effort toward organizing a military chaplaincy for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Today there is a special need for pastoral care of military personnel. However, spiritual support makes military personnel hardy and indomitable.
At this complicated time for our country, we want to assure you of our prayer and support. Concretely - the Department of the Patriarchal Curia of the UGCC for Pastoral Care of the Armed Forces, and the Military Chaplains of this department, are ready immediately to offer their assistance in providing for the moral-spiritual needs of the personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and, to work in maintaining the high morale and confidence of our military servicemen and servicewomen. They are ready to stand with them and share all the challenges of our troops.
I invoke God's blessing upon you and all the Ukrainian Army!

Friends, it's time to get serious
By Jessica Daniels On December 11, 2017 · Leave a Comment · In Admissions Tips
Are you planning to submit your application for review by our January 10 deadline? The large majority of our applications will arrive within 72 hours of the January deadline, even though, depending on your degree program and interest in applying for scholarship assistance, you might have other deadline options.
But let's assume that January 10 is your deadline target. We are now within one month from that date. How are you going to plan your time? I'll tell you what I would suggest. I would suggest that you NOT wait until the last minute to submit your application. I would further suggest that you assign yourself two deadlines — the day by which you'll complete your application, and the day on which you'll submit it. Some suggestions? How about you aim to complete your application by January 5. Get everything all cued up, and then go to the movies, or meet your friends for trivia night, or whatever it is you like to do to relax and distract yourself. Then, on January 7, reopen your application. Review everything. And if it's all as you want it to be, submit the application. You'll feel good and, even better, you won't suddenly realize that, in your January 10 haste, you submitted the wrong essays or résumé.
Though it's not my job to worry about your applications to other graduate schools, note that this double-advance-deadline method will work for them, too.
I'm well aware that applications take time and they don't write themselves. Maybe the idea of submitting the application early won't appeal to you. But let's be honest with ourselves; aiming for your choice of deadline before the actual deadline won't negatively affect the application, even if you are giving up a few days to work on it. Get those fingers typing the answers to the questions on the form, and get your mind thinking big thoughts for your essays, and make it happen.
An additional benefit of submitting early — there's a good chance we'll have a chance to process your application before the real deadline even arrives. That means that, while others are still deciding whether to use a comma or semi-colon, you might learn that your application is complete. Won't that be nice? While they're stressing, you're relaxing.
In conclusion, please do not follow Murray's example and hide from the deadline. Embrace the challenge I've just set in front of you, and submit your application just a few days early. You'll be glad you did.

Tuesdays Holland takes Fencing class and I drop Egypt at my sister's house and take her two oldest boys to the class. I got a call from the Speech Path and we are trying to figure out when she will do the 20 minutes of speech that's on his IEP. Sheesh. Really? Only 20 minutes? Why bother? I'm trying to decide if I want to drag Egypt with me to another school building and sit in the office while Holland has his speech. And this could happen when Romania has no school on Fridays. I am thinking about driving out to Springwater, letting Holland have his speech session and work in Romania's class. But in order to make it to Egypt's new handchimes class (did you see the video? She just LOVES it!), I would have to leave Springwater before school is out.
I'm running out of daylight hours to do everything. None of this scheduling dilemma takes into consideration all the trouble I'm having keeping Holland on task. He argues about absolutely everything. Keeping him focused is near impossible. You'd think I was asking him to walk on hot coals when I ask him to write something. All he wants to do is sit and listen to me read. We are reading "Mattimeo" out loud. It's the third book in the Redwall series. We read history out loud and he draws while I read. I read all his science out loud. Do you see a pattern? I'm exhausted and feel like I accomplish nada on a daily basis. How's that for feeling motivated? I'm beginning to think that someone else can do a better job. Romania complains almost daily that he doesn't like school and wants to come home. I ignore Egypt all day long. I do NOTHING with her. People are freaking out that I don't have her in preschool. That's just what I need. One more place to drive to. I just shoo her out of the school room and once in a while let her sit on the floor and try to attend to two kids. Holland gets so distracted and can't do anything on his own. If I try to help Egypt, he walks off or sits and complains that I'm not helping him.
If you want to feel real good about yourself, homeschool a kid with special needs. That'll put you in your place.

Availability: 2 months
This elongated fruit is about 1-1/2" in length. Also known as a Chinese apple or date, jujubes are known to be used in Chinese traditional medicine to treat sore throats, relieve chest pains, and
Dried JuJubes
alleviate stress. In many Asian cultures, jujubes can be used to make wine and tea as well. They are most often enjoyed as a candied fruit, but are also great
eaten fresh. The flavor is more of an apple than a date. Add jujubes to sautéed vegetables for an unusual and delightful taste experience - very popular in Chinese cuisines.
The jujube originated in China where they have been cultivated for more than 4,000 years and where there are over 400 cultivars. The plants traveled beyond Asia centuries ago and today are grown to some extent in Russia, northern Africa, southern Europe, the Middle East and the southwestern United States. Jujube seedlings, inferior to the Chinese cultivars, were introduced into Europe at the beginning of the Christian era and carried to the U. S. in 1837. It wasn't until 1908 that improved Chinese selections were introduced by the USDA.
The jujube can withstand a wide range of temperatures; virtually no temperature seems to be too high in summertime. Winter dormancy allows it to withstand temperatures to about -28° F, yet it requires only a small amount of winter chill in order for it to set fruit. The plant revels in summer sun and heat, with the lack of either limiting fruit production more than winter cold. Yet jujubes have fruited in the Puget Sound and low Cascade regions of Washington State as well as in Pennsylvania. Fruiting of some cultivars has also been reported in northern Florida.The Indian jujube, which is more sensitive to frost, is grown in Florida, but the fruit is considered inferior. Jujube trees are not particularly suitable for container culture, but can be grown in this manner in a large container.
