My sufferings are growing through you !
My sufferings are growing through you ,
All that I AM growing anew ,
The blood , the stripes , the words you know ,
Persecution that just seems to grow and grow ,
My very essence speaking and flowing through you ,
Oh ! but as you suffer I become new ,
For it is heaven in you I desire to prolong ,
For as you suffer your flesh falls behind ,
And all your words now become mine ,
A beautiful tapestry sung just for me ,
Each stitch woven in perfect harmony ,
My kingdom then comes alive in you ,
And the Father's will is ALL you do !
For as Joshua and Joseph died before me ,
As Commander and Chief your surrender sets Me free ~ ~ ~ ,
To do in you ,
All "I AM" is to do ,
My Father's will through and through . . .
1 Peter 1:10-13
10Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke of the grace that was to come to you, searched intently and with the greatest care, 11trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow. 12It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things.
Be Holy 13Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed
John 4:1-3
Jesus and the Samaritan Woman
Jesus[a] knew the Pharisees had heard that he was baptizing and making more disciples than John 2 (though Jesus himself didn't baptize them—his disciples did). 3 So he left Judea and returned to Galilee.
Genesis 50:25-26 (Amplified Bible)
25And Joseph took an oath from the sons of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and you will carry up my bones from here.
26So Joseph died, being 110 years old; and they embalmed him, and he was put [a]in a coffin in Egypt.
Joshua 5:13-15
The Fall of Jericho
13 Now when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword in his hand. Joshua went up to him and asked, "Are you for us or for our enemies?"
14 "Neither," he replied, "but as commander of the army of the LORD I have now come." Then Joshua fell facedown to the ground in reverence, and asked him, "What message does my Lord have for his servant?"
15 The commander of the LORD's army replied, "Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy." And Joshua did so.

10 months.
Double digit months! For some reason I have been waiting for her to get to double digit months for about 5 months. I think I am weird.
Lacey changes everyday, but at the same time doesn't seem to change all that much. In other words, as her mother I see HUGE changes, but to the average person they probably don't seem that big.
Lacey is talking all the time. She has a few new words..."no, no, no" being her favorite. Whenever she doesn't want to do something she just repeats 'no,no,no' over and over again. Hmmm...do i say it THAT often? She also started saying baby and num, num (after she eats something she likes).
Lacey loves to point at things. She points to either mama or dada when asked, she points to puppies, the tv, airplanes, lights, and cars outside. I love seeing her little fingers point. She also points to things she wants when she is at her highchair like cheerios or cheese.
Lacey eats pretty much whatever I give her, although she doesn't always eat a lot of it. I wouldn't call her picky, I would just say she gets bored and would rather get into things she can't.
Lacey doesn't like going to sleep at night. In fact she HATES it. We are trying to work on this one. I have decided that sleep when your baby sleeps is REALLY GOOD ADVICE and when your baby is 12 weeks old and is sleeping through the night, don't talk about it to anyone, because they will cause you agony in the sleep department later.
Lacey has started to let go of furniture when she stands up. Her balance is terrible though! I won't give a prediction for walking, other than it won't be this month! Based on her reaching the other milestones, she has always been pretty average, never really early for any of them, so I am guessing walking between 12-14 months. All I am concerned about is that I have a good walker by February!

DO: Keep playin' that hoe-down fiddle music! Much better than the usual 1980's beat box breakdancing routine.
DON'T: Do your stupid meditating prayer motions and chants!
This morning this guy puts his head down, arms outstretched on his legs, palms up and starts muttering while a nice big backpack sits between his legs.
I'm sitting right across from him wanting to kick him in the face. I should have kicked him in the face.
In case you didn't hear asshole, people are still just a bit jittery about the next terrorist attack and you praying to your non-existent invisible asshole in the sky, during rush hour, on a subway doesn't f'n help!
5 people got up and moved to the other end of the car.
I actually sat there and watched this guy until my stop. I don't know why and I don't know what I would have done if he went into his bag, probably for a newspaper or a bottle of water.
Just keep your prayin' at home asshole.

"Some 25 per cent of migrants move to Kathmandu Valley because of economic reasons," the study 'NEPAL: Urban Growth and Spatial Transition: An Initial Assessment' of the World Bank stated.
More and more migrants are moving to Kathmandu Valley due to economic opportunities expanding the economic boundaries of the Valley, the author of the study and urban development economist at the World Bank Elisa Muzzini said, adding that Kathmandu Valley is also one of the fastest growing metropolis in South Asia.
Urban areas now generate about 65 per cent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) compared to only 29 per cent of GDP in 1975, the report said, adding that the urban economy is growing significantly faster than the rural economy, and the incidence of poverty has more than halved in urban areas from 22 to 15 per cent over 1995-96 — 2010-11.
Muzzini said Nepal could tap into the potential of its cities to leverage their comparative advantages and turn them into competitive advantages. "Only vibrant and competitive cities can attract high-return investments and generate the higher productivity jobs required to accelerate growth to meet Nepal's target," she said.
The study also noted that non-farm economic production is clustered in the Kathmandu Valley and close to the border with India; the Eastern Tarai cluster surrounding the Biratnagar sub-metro and the Central Tarai cluster surrounding Birgunj sub-metro. "Within such extended regions, firms are able to reap the benefits from demand-and-supply-side linkages between rural and urban areas. As services and manufacturing activities tend to locate in the vicinity of each other in order to benefit from agglomeration economies, the urban core of the extended economic region plays the role of service centre for the rural hinterland, where manufacturing largely takes place."
Since Nepal is going through two transformation from a rural to an urbanising economy and from a unitary to a federal state, the study has also revealed challenges as the cities are losing competitive advantages over the comparative advantages due to lack of infrastructure, proper planning and business environment.
"There is an urgent need to prioritise investments based on outcome and promote and regenarate the Kathmandu Valley's valuabale assets bringing infrastructure policy with proper planning to turn the urban growth sustainable," she said, recommending that it will also help turn comparative advantages of the urban areas to competitive advantage for sustainable and inclusive growth.
Lately, one of the key drivers of the Kathmandu's economy is service sector due to increasing numbers of tourists' inflow but the unplanned city has threatened the cultural heritage that could be a huge source of revenue, according to the study. "Public capital expenditure for municipal infrastructure, averaging $9 per capita, is inadequate to meet the growing needs of urban areas and has declined in real terms from $13 per capita in Fiscal year 2008-09."
The Kathmandu Valley is the first area to face the unprecedented challenges of rapid urbanisation and modernisation at a metropolitan scale, due to its position as the primary gateway for the country's economic activity and tourism. But, the study notes that growth is happening haphazardly, and is threatening to undermine the Valley's historic and natural environment.
"Land patterns are rapidly changing but urban development planning lags behind actual growth," it said, adding that rapid population growth is overtaking the capacities of existing institutions to manage urbanisation. Unplanned growth has significantly increased vulnerability to disasters, it said. Public investment in municipal infrastructure is low compared to urban infrastructure requirements, and biased against Kathmandu metro, where infrastructure needs are the largest, according to the study.
"Apart from business environment that provides space to entrepreneurships, economic value of cultural heritage is tremendously high but public spending on infrastructure is very low and so is the revenue mobilisation of local government agencies that has hit the growing infrastructure needs," Muzzini said, adding that Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) and handicrafts are other niche areas that also have created employment.
"Nepal is also the fastest urbanising country in the region with the urban population growth rate estimated at more than five per cent a year on an average since the 1970s, according to the study that claimed that only 20 per cent of the country's total population, however, lives in the urban areas.

first team / OL - Monaco D-1
Gérard Houllier's press conference
Published on the 22 December 2006 à 13:22 by R.B
Gérard Houllier's last pre-match press conference for the year. A manager at the height of his powers who wants nothing but the 3 points against Monaco…
"It's important to finish the year on a good note, especially as there will be a 3-week break in afterwards. And also it's a good challenge to win the last match for the year as it's a feat OL hasn't pulled off during its last five championship years. It is essential that we take the 3 points. It's a prestigious match. I c=recall that we lost in Monaco last season, without playing. We also want to show that we are just as good in December as in August, September… it's called professionalism. I've been saying for some days that we are getting back to full swing, and we proved it against Lens and Nancy."
"Monaco is a good team hampered by its start to the season; the team was ruined during the summer. You need a season to reconstruct. So Monaco should be preparing their plans for 2007-2008. The Banide effect? Something was obviously up with Bölöni; there were also certain statements I didn't appreciate. In the last 5 or 6 matches, this team is in the top 5 or 6 in the championship."
After the result and the way you won against Nancy, isn't it hard to select the team? ?
"No. Against Nancy, we played a good game but were disappointed Nancy wasn't more under threat. But, we need everyone to achieve our goals. Malouda? He is the spirit of the team, of sacrifice. We only win when everyone is prepared to work for each other. Solidarity, that's the sacrifice. In Lens, we were ahead 4-0 but still Juninho was back in defence, winning the ball in our area. That's also a strong symbol of our team spirit. Football isn't an individual sport."
Has your team improved since your arrival?
"There has been a lot of progress in many areas, notably that of our mental strength, because at this level, the devil is in the detail. In a match, concentration and cohesion are very important factors. Under no circumstances can you go to pieces. We have this strength to our game. We have also improved technically…What I really like though is our attitude in success. There is no euphoria that makes us forget our work or swells our heads. This team is a very humble one; it loves to work and respects its opponents, even when they don't respect it. I'm not being paranoid. Our team is a class act."
17 points in front?
"I place more emphasis on our quality of play. We have scored in 26 out of 27 games this season, We control the game better. This team also has many faces, and can adapt to different conditions. We have qualities at our disposal that we didn't have in the past."
A word on the recruits, Malouda and the transfer market?
"Very good while all being different; they have their eyes on first team places. Malouda? He can be truly world-class if he keeps up his astonishing performances all season. For the moment, he is a recognised international. Captain material? He is a leader and was signed before the World Cup. The transfer market? I still believe that we need another striker. Carew? If he wants to leave, he can leave, as long as he can be replaced and as long as we take on this extra striker. Taking a player on loan is out of the question. But that's just my opinion. The rumours of Carew going to Celta Vigo are bogus."

is it too soon for tap dance lessons?
How cool would that be?! We could take a mommy and me tap class together! There's a new dance studio on the corner of Dean and Fourth Ave - I'm going to look into classes.

haha. woh! slow down Mommy! It's definitely too soon since you are just starting to stand on your own, but more importantly I think we need to teach you how to skateboard, snowboard, or surf which are all at the top of the cool activities list. Then I think somewhere at the bottom of the list is tap dancing. It's definitely behind break-dancing too.

Happy September! Over the next 30 days, I will be previewing each and every Badger who will suit up and take the ice this coming season. Thankfully the roster has been updated, so each day in September will correspond to the players #, w/ the exception of Shane Connelly.
Today we start w/ goalie Scott Gudmandson.
Year in School: Sophomore
Catches Left
Height: 5-10
Weight: 179
Hometown: Sherwood Park, Alberta
Previous Team: Salmon Arm Silverbacks (BCHL) in 06/07
07/08 Stats: 6 games, 1-1-2, 2.63 GAA, 0.880 Save %
06/07 Stats: 24 games, 15-8-0, 2.84 GAA, 0.912 Save %
08/09 Role: Backup Goalie
Thoughts: Entering his sophomore season, Scott returns as the backup to Shane Connelly. Scott's playing time was limited last season, as he was new to Bill Howard's "system", and Connelly did a more than adequate job in net. Scott's role should expand this year as the coaching staff will prepare him to take over the reigns in goal in 09/10. One big question mark hanging over the entire Wisconsin program and especially the goaltenders is the sudden departure of Bill Howard as volunteer assistant coach. Howard did mention several times on the radio last season that Scott was making great progress in learning the system. Still, compared to Connelly, Scott only has one year of this legendary tutelage. Overall, Scott is a talented net minder, and should have little problem progressing this season regardless.
Bill Howard's departure still doesn't change my mind that Scott is going to be an outstanding backstop during his upperclassmen seasons. Wisconsin might have another All-American on their hands in the future.
Prediction: 8 games, 4-3-1, 2.52 GAA

I am hypothyroid i also have sympyoms of adrenal fatigue. How is it treated?
Adrenal fatigue: A very low cortisol could be addisons disease (adrenal failure) but this is relatively rare, although slightly more common with hypothyroid.

The symptoms of adrenal fatigue are common to many conditions. ...Read more
Elevated tsh, normal t4, no hypothyroid symptoms. Have recently quit caffeine / significantly reduced alcohol (in case it's adrenal fatigue). Is this likely to lower tsh? How long to see results?
No: By definition, elevated TSH is hypothyroidism. T4 is not the active one, rather it is T3 and it is ft3 that is in fact the active hormone. T4 is converted to T3 in the periphery. I would have you check the T3 level and you may need synthroid (thyroxine) as well. Neither alcohol nor caffeine has anything to do with the synthesis of TSH but alcohol is converted by body into energy ATP via acetyl coe-a. ...Read more

Image segmentation and a number of other problems from image processing and computer vision can be regarded as interface problems. Recently, diffusive and sharp interface techniques have been used for these problems. In this talk, we will first briefly explain these models and compare the advantages and disadvantages of these models. Numerically, these models can be solved through some PDEs. In the end, we will show some recent results on how to use graph cut to solve these interface problems. Moreover, the global minimizer can be guaranteed even the problem is nonconex and nonlinear. The use of max-flow in a network setting and also in an infinite dimensional setting will be explained.

Frustration Building?
Need to take out your anger on a specific person, but don't fancy the jail time that might come with actual assault? Then order yourself a dozen or so photo golf balls imprinted with the image of your favorite nemesis and whack away! That double bogey might not seem so bad if it means you get to smack Dick Cheney in the kisser a couple more times.

Sixty square meters (that's 645 square feet) isn't really that small for Paris, but by American standards, it's still on the trim side, which means there's a bit to be gleaned here for making the most of a small(er) space. And there's also the fact that this apartment is incredibly beautiful, which should suit you no matter what size home you live in.

You probably don't live in Lafayette but forewarned is still forearmed. Take care of yourselves.
Hi friends and family. I know that with all the psychos out there, we still think that something couldn't really happen to us, right? Wrong! As most of you know, I live in Alexandria, but I work in Lafayette where I stay with friends when I'm there.
As you know from America's Most Wanted TV program as well as the news media, there is a serial killer in the Lafayette area. I just want to let you know about an "incident" that happened to me a few weeks ago that could have been deadly.
At first I didn't go to the police or anyone with it because I didn't realize how serious this encounter was. But since I work in a jail and I told a few people about it, it wasn't long before I was paraded into Internal Affairs to tell them my story.
It was approximately 5:15 am in Opelousas, La. I had stayed with a friend there and I was on my way to work. I stopped at the Exxon/Blimpie station to get gas. I got $10 gas and a Diet Coke...I took into the store two $5 bills and one $1 bill. (just enough to get my stuff)
As I pulled away from the store, a man approached my truck from the back side of the store (an unlit area). He was an "approachable-looking" man (clean cut, clean shaven, dressed well, etc.) He walked up to my window and knocked. Since I'm very paranoid and "always looking for the rapist or killer", I didn't open the window....I just asked what he wanted. He raised a $5 bill to my window and said "You dropped this." Since I knew I had gone into the store with a certain amount of money....I knew I didn't drop it. When I told him it wasn't mine......he began hitting the window and door and screaming at me to open my door and that I had dropped the money! At that point, I drove away as fast as I could.
After talking to the Internal Affairs department and describing the man I saw and the way he escalated from calm and polite to angry and volatile....it was determined that I could have possibly encountered the serial killer myself. At this point, it is unclear as to how he gains access to his victims since there has been no evidence of forced entry into homes, etc. And the fact that he has been attacking in the daytime when women are less likely to have their guard up...and what gesture is nicer than returning money to someone that dropped it????? How many times would you have opened your window (or door) to get your money and say thank you....because if the person is kind enough to return something to you...then he can't really be a threat.... can he????
Please be cautious! This might not have been the serial killer...it probably wasn't...but anyone that gets that angry over someone not accepting money from them, can't have honorable intentions.
Forward this to everyone you know....maybe they can be as fortunate as I was!

Tom .....gonna write some music......you have a idea for a tune ot tempo?Cliff
But Tom has to sing it!!
I already sang at a forum rally to entertain the crowd (duet with Dee Reed). It's someone else's turn.
I will also be taking photos.
LOL! I wonder if we will EVER hear a song sung at a forum rally?

Hey Ron, in karaoke it is not the skill that counts, but the effort! Should would love to hear you put some effort into some singing!
Hey Ron, in karaoke it is not the skill that counts, but the effort!
...the longest and loudest applause went to the energetic out of tune guy?
Ron might be another "She bangs!" man!!
Visions of Tom and Peter and Wally in Moab keep popping into my head.
"Waltzing Mart-tilda"
Since Ron does not drink (the kind I think you are referring to), we can likely get him singing on just ONE drink!
You'll come a waltzing Martilda with me.
I would love to visit Australia someday and drink in the beauty and culture and rich history of your great land. Someday.
As an aside, I do have a very nice personal letter from The Hon. John Howard MP, but that's way off topic.
Cliff:Take Two looks very smooth... a lot of kinks worked out. I think Tom should take this with him and enter American Idol.
Now, if we can get Tom to sing it!
Hi Cliff, come to Moab and I'll be honored to sing it.

Harry pulled JS to him, and whispered a secret.
It took a couple minutes to tell, and it was just enough time.
Harry breathed his last, and his hand dropped away.
JS recoiled from both the secret, and the passing, as if electrocuted.
One day, the judge who convicted Dusty Irwin mysteriously died.
With him gone, his appeal magically went through.
He was released.
His trial was exposed as the travesty it was.
But, the damage was done.
Rewind to a night before...
A man in a ski-mask broke into the judge's house, tiptoed into the judge's room, pulled out a long strand of hair, dangled it into the judge's mouth, and used the hair to guide droplets of poison in.
Drop, after drop, until the tiny squeeze bottle was empty.
Then, the assassination complete, the man let himself out, and locked everything back up.
He left behind no prints.
He escaped in a car parked a block down the street.
He unmasked.
It was Joseph, "Lash", Tamron.
"Score settled, you corrupt old son of a bitch", he mumbled as he made good his getaway.
Lash was working on a new mask.
A mass production one for sale at stores.
Sculpting, molding, vacuum forming, the whole deal.
He was at the sculpting stage.
Slow going.
A lot of setbacks, and outright squashed flops.
But, finally, he had nailed it.
He stood back, and looked at his handiwork.
It couldn't seem to decide if it was a ghost, an alien, or a skull.
The finished version would be painted green, and have a black shroud on the back for covering up the wearer's hair.
He'd based it on the local Lentilville legend of The Green Monster.
He pointed at it, and said "you're gonna sell like hotcakes!".
October 20th.
Dusty Irwin wandered through the grocery store, and then stopped dead in his tracks.
There was a display of Halloween masks, and one of them hypnotically grabbed his attention.
Lash saw the news report.
A man in a green mask calling himself "The Jade Shade", was fighting crime, and had unraveled the conspiracy against Dusty.
Seemingly, half of all Lentilville went down over it.
It was Dusty. There was no doubt in his mind.
"I should have killed those sons of bitches myself", he hissed inaudibly.
He looked at the TV again.
"I'm coming, Dusty", he whispered.
Lash tried on his costume.
It consisted of an oversized black greasy pompadour wig, light grey sweatpants, and a matching sweatshirt, red boots, and scrawled on his chest in black permanent marker was a large thick "H", with a third middle line down the middle.
He got himself on two episodes of "The Krazyfool Show", hoping Dusty would see, and have his memory jogged.
No dice.
He'd have to be more direct.
He went out during JS's patrol hours.
After running afoul of a mugger, and dispatching him, he hit pay-dirt.
JS hopped down from a nearby fire escape, startling Lash/Harry momentarily.
Minutes later...
Harry/Lash pulled JS to him, and whispered a secret.
It took a couple minutes to tell, and it was just enough time.
Harry/Lash breathed his last, and his hand dropped away.
JS recoiled from both the secret, and the passing, as if electrocuted.
The above wasn't that secret.
That was just the setup.
Here we go....

Baby boomers have it all, don't they? Gold-plated DB pensions, no mortgages, second properties even in some cases. They have cash in the bank and nice things at home. Or so you would think. But in fact, financial crime has been rising among this Boom set - in the form of stealing from their own parents and elderly relatives.
Shocking, no? But research from accountancy KPMG has found that crown court cases relating to fraud against family members rose to £2.1m in the first half of this year, up from £400,000 the previous June.
A massive 80 percent of this was against the over 65s, with the majority of this being carried out against the very elderly by their own baby-boomer children and relatives.
In one case, a woman approaching her 60s stole her own father's care home fees after being granted power of attorney. Another man stole his frail mother's £600,000 savings because he was not going to be the main recipient in her will.
True the credit crunch has affected a lot of people. Baby boomers are having to support children and in some cases, grandchildren because of school and university fees, redundancies and an ever-rising deposit needed to get onto the housing ladder.
But this is no excuse for theft, theft from the very people who went without themselves in order that their children, born at the tail end of WW2, might have a better chance in life. Such shameful behaviour must be brought to light and more support must be given to people in their later years, to protect them and their finances from predators.

Like a dove I fly towards you – Visiting Karbala - Part 1
In the summer of 2011 I told my parents that I was going to Karbala, whether it be with a friend, with a group, or on my own. They told me I wouldn't and that I couldn't go for fear of my safety. I disregarded this, I was determined to go. After trying everything, I thought I would end up going on my own, until I was referred to a group by a friend of mine. A group of Khojas, which turned out to be the friendliest group of people I had encountered in my whole life.
Not many people within the Lebanese community have traveled to Iraq. Many came to visit me before I left. I could feel what the journey I was about to embark upon meant as the time drew nearer, to me and to them. The night before, a friend of my mother's who had a hand in raising me, she came into the room, and slowly asked me, 'Hussain.. you are going tomorrow? You are going to Karbala? You are going to Abbas? To Bab Al Hawa'ij?'.. as tears strolled down her face. She had one request, which she made seem very big. It was for me to pray for her and her daughter there. I had to hold back my tears as I promised her I would. The love of the Ahlulbayt knows no bounds.
Decemeber 22 is the day I set off towards Baghdad. I woke up on that day to find around 70 people had died in Baghdad, the place I was about to travel too. I hurried out of the house before my mother woke up to see the news. Whilst in the airport, I said goodbyes to many of my friends, which felt different than other goodbyes we had before I traveled somewhere. It felt as if this time, I wasn't coming back. I genuinely had that belief. Some of my friends also did, and assured me they would take care of my family if anything was to happen. Before I boarded the plane, I met a few people who felt the same way, some even telling their will to their families, their goodbyes, and where they'd like to be buried over the phone.
In the plane towards Baghdad I was honored to be sat next to Sayed Ammar Nakshawani. We got along after we discovered we were both Liverpool supports, and after la3en on Man Utd, we got into conversations about religion. This was the perfect warm up to understand exactly what I was doing, and where I was going.
I am not going to write the following events in chronological order, simply because my experience climaxed in the middle and I would like to save that till the end of this blog, and before talking of the spiritual aspect, I would like to mention something else first. The poverty in Iraq truly hurts one, and shows you your privileges. I would see old ladies on the street selling any random item on a carpet, trying to get by, yet in London we have the mentality that we cannot get married if we do not have money, or something to show the parents. These people are married aren't they? I use this as a small example, to show how materialistic we are yet claim to be followers of Muhammad (sawa) and Ali (as). The two cannot go hand in hand.
You cannot walk a few minutes without a child asking you for money. I would know most of these children are taught by evil people to beg and bring money back to them. I know they would injure and hurt these children in order to strike sorrow in the hearts of foreigners, so that they can give them money. You still cannot help it, and you give, obviously to an extent. Though this one girl stayed in my mind. In Karbala, she was asking for money, and was not leaving us alone. One of my friends asked her if she would like to join us for dinner, but she refused, only wanting money. I put my hand on her head, which was covered by a hijab, only to feel two huge bumps on the back of her head. My hand froze in that position, and my heart broke. I remember her eyes, big and brown. I looked at this girl in those eyes, and she looked back, turning away every few seconds. I could see the pain.
For the first few days in Iraq, I stayed in Najaf. This town had such a rich culture, and you could see it in the people around the vicinity of the shrine. It's a beautiful feeling walking through the roads and hearing several, sometimes every other shop's, different latmiyas blasting through their speakers. Once I got into my hotel room and cleaned myself up, I set out to visit the shrine of Imam Ali (as), where Prophet Adam (as) and Prophet Nuh (as) are buried, along with Ameerul Mo'mineen himself. This was my first experience of any ziyara, and I didn't know what to expect. Standing outside the shrine, asking permission from Allah SWT to enter..
As I walked towards the entrance, I remember trembling. Taking slow steps. I touched the door of the entrance, then kissed it. My hand would glide along the walls as I walked passed them. Entering into the shrine itself was different. In your life, when you want to get up you say 'Ya Ali'. When you lift something heavy you say 'Ya Ali'. This is the man you have been taught of your entire life, the brother of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (sawa). He is right in front of you. This place just felt like the place of a leader.

Dogs can end up in shelters for lots of reasons, some bad, some awful, and some that couldn't be avoided. Shelter workers have incredibly difficult jobs. They take in and care for these dogs, not knowing what is in their past or what their future may hold. And they care. That may be the hardest part of all. Caring for these dogs is no easy task but I am grateful that dog training professionals are starting to help out shelter workers with new tools and techniques. Anything we can do to make their jobs easier, I say. I'm so thankful they are out there.

Thanks for listening to Canine Nation podcasts. I hope you can spread the word and let your dog-friends know about what you're hearing here. As always, your comments and suggestions are welcome!

The Jeannette Expedition of 1879–81 was an attempt led by George W. De
Long to reach the North Pole using a route through the Bering Strait to
the fabled temperate Open Polar Sea. The expedition was financed by
James Gordon Bennett, Jr., the proprietor of the New York Herald, and
based on the ocean current theories of the German cartographer August
Petermann. The attempt failed; the expedition's ship, USS Jeannette
(pictured), drifted in the polar ice for nearly two years before being
crushed and sunk, north of the Siberian coast. De Long then led his men
on a journey by boat and sled to the Lena Delta. Before ultimate rescue,
more than half of the ship's complement died, including De Long. During
Jeannette's long drift the expedition discovered what were later called
the De Long Islands, and collected significant meteorological and
oceanographic data. Although the ship's fate demolished the long-
standing Open Polar Sea theory, the appearance in 1884 of debris from
the wreck on the south-west coast of Greenland indicated that an Arctic
current carried the ice from east to west. This discovery inspired
Fridtjof Nansen to mount his Fram expedition nine years later.

arrgghh, me maties! I'm writing you a report from the highlands of Scotland, through the dense fog and one can spot pirates all about town (so shimber me timbers).
sorry for the delay in blogs, but i had a long one posted and the internet cafe computer crashed at the end, so i didn't have the energy to repeat it. our 2nd day of teaching in ukraine did not go as well. it became clear that palmer and i represented a different gospel than the one they were looking for. the local pastors were adamant about wanting $$ for new buildings and had enough of this house church stuff. we kept talking about being small, simple, relational and authentic followers, they wanted a magic pill to get their people to give more and getting more americans over there to do the work. i hosted a panel discussion for open questions, it turned into a train wreck. ironically, that morning at 6:15 a.m., the Spirit woke me up and had me read from Matthew 9 where Jesus said "don't worry if they hate you, they hated me first".
We then headed off to Northumbria Christian Community for 2 days. let's just say that the place is holy. we stayed in a guestroom in the tower that dates back to the 14th century, that's the 1300's folks!!!! we participated in morning prayers, evening prayers, nightly canticles and common meals. we took a day on holy island to visit the abbey of st. cuthbert and feel the unbelievalbe scenary of northern england. you can only access this place at low tide, how cool is that?
we are now in edingburgh, Scotland and it is the most amazing architecture city i have ever been in. breathtaking at all times, really, really, old and creepy-like spooky at night. we caught an interesting comdedian last night and had a couple pints of local tastes. today we will go to a live theatre re: the columbine shootings, then some souveneir shopping (the pipes are already purchased, fellas) then to another comdeic live theatre act, dinner at a pub, another comdedian later on, smoke a cuban cigar then to a club featuring music from 80's rock bands. tommorrow we get on a train and go to Manchester, England for a hostel and some used record stores. Our final few days are in oxford, london and cambridge.
i miss my family more and more everyday now. i want to hold them, badly. i'm actually hoping these next few days go quickly. i also miss my spiritual family, ordinary community. while away i realize how much of my identity is wrapped up in them. church is truly not somewhere you go, its a people you belong to.
much love,

Here is a video of this post if you prefer to watch
My friend, perhaps the nicest person anyone's ever known, Ken Day, died on Monday. He had fallen a few days before when the train he was on jerked and he lost his balance. Hit his head and went into cardiac arrest. Bleeding on the train floor, his 13-year old grandson asked the only other person in the train for help and if she had a cell phone he could use. "Don't have one", she said flatly, and stayed in her seat. This boy then sat on the floor cradling his poor grandpa's bleeding head and could feel he was not breathing.
Next stop finally comes, doors open, people stream in. One person asks what happened and leans down to check for a pulse. Nothing. "Someone call 9-1-1!" And then everyone just sat there, kept talking, waiting for the train to keep going.
I don't know the situation of each of the people on this train, I don't know if they are unaware that a man is needing oxygen and his grandson needs help, but what I can say is after 10 minutes of not having a pulse, the emergency responders finally arrived and performed CPR for 10 minutes before taking him to the hospital, and because of lack of oxygen for so long he was not going to make it.
My question is this: Why did no one breathe for my friend? Why did no adult spring into action and help? Even try CPR?
One guy checked his pulse, one person called 9-1-1, and then did nothing. Is that enough?
I'm calling out HUMANITY on this one.
This was in my hometown, my chosen state, with the reputation of having the friendliest most helpful people in the world, and no one did really anything.
I'd like to ask you something: If you saw this scene, what would you have done?
Can you honestly sit down and just start zoning out on your phone? Turn a blind eye?
My friends and family who read this blog, I am calling us all out.
Are you that person who will promise to stand up for those in need? Promise to help even when you don't know what to do?
Are you The One?
Here is my post and tribute to Ken from Facebook:
Our hearts are broken tonight and have been since Thursday when our dear friend Ken Day lost his balance on Trax, hit his head, and has been unconscious ever since. Today he took his last breath. This man influenced me greatly by the love he showed everyone. I pray to be like him. Here is what I shared with his family –
My lasting memory of Ken Day was the last time I saw him. I was wandering around the filled rows of the chapel at adult session of our last LDS Stake Conference. Ken spotted me and with his usual greeting, stood, threw open his arms, and embraced me. I counted down for the kiss coming my way and he kissed my hairy bearded cheek! We sat and sang the hymns together, laughed and nudged each other when something struck us as funny, Debi of course right in the middle of it. I received a text from my wife on my iPad, a picture of her in a swimsuit. Ken went "woah!" ? And then they opened it up to Q&A. Debi was the last to stand and bravely asked a question and expressed a sentiment most would be too hesitant and private to share. As pillars of our community you could feel the entire room wrap it's arms around Ken and Debi as they cried through the closing song. We huddled together and cried and expressed our love and friendship. Then he kissed me again and held my face with one hand just looking into my eyes like I was his best friend. He did this with everyone he ever met! What manner of man is this? The greatest God has given us. Debi and family, we love you. We thank you for making us feel as family, for helping raise my Tami as her bonus parents. To know he is gone only makes me want to live like him enough to join you on your street in heaven, next to your mansion with the perfect lawn and ever-present welcoming smile.
Honored to be asked by my sweet friend, Debi Day, to create a medley of a favorite LDS Church hymn, "I Believe in Christ", as well as 'their song', "You Are the Sunshine of My Life" by Stevie Wonder, for her wonderful husband, Ken's funeral, Oct. 20. Here is the recording, playing the piano, harmonica simultaneously, while singing as well. This is not an impression, rather an expression of love and hoping to bring the spirit, in honor of a great man

Training brings U.S. and Polish special forces together
Navy Mass Communication Specialist Dana M. Clark
POWIDZ AIR FORCE BASE, Poland — U.S. and Polish special forces began conducting combined airborne exercises here Dec. 16, 2008. The first day of training included the soldiers parachuting from a U.S. MC 130H Talon II.
"It gives us a greater understanding of how each side works," said Air Force Lt. Col. Marc Martinez, the training commander.
During the four-day interoperability training exercises, more than 40 soldiers will conduct low-level static line and High Altitude Low Opening (HALO) parachute drops, simulating precise force insertion operations.
Army Lt. Col. Donna Scott, a spokeswoman, commented on the trainingss importance on interoperability.
"We want our forces to be familiar with the people they could be working with," she said.
U.S. soldiers from the 321st Special Tactics Squadron, based at RAF Mildenhall, England, along with Polish special forces from its mobile response group and 1st Special Forces Regiment are teaming up to conduct these exercises as a way of enhancing understanding and cooperation between the two nations.

WikiChick, who claims to live in that garden spot known as Relative Obscurity, Mo., posts an eye-opener on her site. Seems the actress Natalie Portman -- she of the Star Wars franchise -- has one of the world's biggest craniums, right up there with former KYTV anchor Tony Beason.
WikiChick has the photographic proof. Yikes. Portman needs to put on a few LBs.

Yes, the issue of aid is a complex one. I wonder though if certain projects failed not because they were non-profit versus 4th sector but because they were not community-owned. I wonder what applies to the Rotary project on which you guys are working.

My time in Italy has rapidly drawn to a close. I've had wonderful Autumnal weather and in the short time I was here I've seen just a glimpse of the very many beautiful Villas and Gardens. It's a place you can easily do on your own (as in not needing a tour guide), however it is really convenient (and relaxing) to have someone else organise travel and other matters….
So my last few days/nights were spent in Pallanza on Lake Maggiore. Our garden visits concentrated on the western edge of Lake Maggiore, with the first day on the Borromean Islands, between Stresa and Pallanza.

Festival Checklist & Tips:
Think you have everything ready for your festival trip? Double check by following everything on our checklist to ensure you'll be fully prepared.
1.Plastic Bag
Why are they so important? Simple. There is no worse feeling then waking up a bit worse for wear on the second day there and realising your socks and undies aren't dry from the rain. Wrapping up the more important items in plastic bags stops them from getting wet, and stops you from feeling uncomfortable in your own clothes.
2.Wipes Handwipes and facewipes are a godsend at festivals. They work on anything from dirty phone screens to dirtier faces and will be used more than you can ever think.
The most important thing to do during a festival is stay hydrated. It is easier than you think to feel fatigued and tired when you really needn't be at all. Lugging a few large bottles on the way in will pay off big time, trust u.
4.Extra underwear
The need to have clean clothes is vital at a festival. If you're going for 4 days, pack enough underwear and socks for 8. Having a mid-day change will make you feel much better than your friends who hasn't had a shower I days.
5. Two toothbrushes
Why two? Because losing the first one is a high probability. These are just five top tips that Converge can offer, but be aware that you'll never be as ready for a festival as you think you ever will be.

Choice in Our Life, Road Not Taken---
Study in a Residential School or a Non-residential School instead
Adolescence, undoubtedly is the most crucial and critical stage throughout the life of a human. I believe that most, if not all the students and parents will be stand beside me and see eye to eye with me regarding to this context. We say so not just because of the physically and mentally development of the teenagers, but also the gradual changes of the attitude as well as mind set of our youngster. It will be the most important time decode a teenagers personal characteristics and nevertheless the suitable time to cultivate some crucial moral value among the teenagers. As such, your choice for yourself or your offspring to either study in a residential school or a normal non-residential school will fundamentally be the prime factor that shaping the teenagers future and this issue cannot be handled by using a take-it-easy attitude. That's how and why such decision bring headache to all parents and students as well.
So now, what will be best choice for students in our country? A residential school or a non-residential school instead? My answer will definitely be the residential schools if you ask me this question. Why do I say so? My opinion is supported by many strong and unchallengeable reasons. In order to be clear, let me explain it one by one. First and foremost, a student that study in residential school normally will have a better discipline and their daily life. The daily schedule has been fixed by the school authority that it is a must for them to follow. They are given time to study, revise, doing homework, carrying out co-curriculum activities, as well as exercise and involve in sports. By doing all these, they need not to worry about the lacking of time to study and nevertheless encourage a good time management attitude among the students. They will never wasting their time in some negative activities such as hanging around at the shopping complex, involved in illegal racing, abuse of drugs, gambling, free-sex and so forth that happened frequently among the students in non-residential school. Undeniably, the students must be given freedom to do what they want, but I think it is not suitable to give freedom without any proper regulation and scrutinize them from time to time, as they are still green and not even mature enough to determine whether what's right to do….
Next, the students will have a better achievement in academic and co-curriculum activities, since the competition of the students among each other will be the main forward thrust to drive them for improvement and betterment, no matter what they take part in. Ya, I understand that some of you will say that this will only bring stress to the students. I know.. But the drawback of stress among the students due to the competition can never be neglected as well! The truth is always cruel, but we have to face up with reality. Please be clear that it's actually the best remedy to bring improvement and awareness of the students regarding to their weakness and of course they will try to get rid of it or they will be left behind in this cruel society, in line with the trend of globalization and competitive career arena. Students will appreciate what they acquire, after undergoing hardship and obstacle. They will keep on remind themselves that there are always mountain to climb day by day and I believe they will surely be capable to face all kind of difficulties in the future.
By the way, the students who study in residential school are also enjoying advantages as they become more and more independent in whatever they do, especially in handling their daily life. All students that live in the hostel are asked to responsible to their personal hygiene as well as the cleanliness of the surrounding environment. They are needed to carry out their obligation as part and parcel of school to clean the school washroom, cutting grasses, planting trees, and cleaning rubbish, besides take care of their self-cleanliness. All these are something that the students will never have an opportunity to do. By experienced all these, ones without a doubt can have a clearer image about their obligation to maintain the balance of the natural environment and therefore, make the eco-friendly lifestyle no longer a herculean task among our younger generation.
Moreover, students who study in residential school and live in hostel are allowed to spend more time with their fellow schoolmate, no matter studying, eating, playing basketball, revising and so forth. This, undoubtedly forge a closer bond among the students of the same age, curbing problems whereby teenagers are said to reluctantly socialize with others through real conversation, but prefer using online technology like facebook, msn online messenger, frienster, and twitter instead. We did not deny about the benefit of the advanced technologies nowadays, but we too feel that a real and close relationship in the society need to be conserve by communicating face-to-face. Students in residential school can learn more from each other, helping each other when facing problems in study, spending leisure hour together. It's especially true and crucial when students in residential schools are made up of different races, religion, culture, language…from all walks of life! Doesn't it can forge a good understanding among youngster in our motherland and enhance mutual respect by leaps and bounce? It's totally in line with the new concept of 1Malaysia that brought by our beloved new Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, which drive home about the importance of acceptance but not only tolerance among the member of society.
In light of all these, study in residential school is obviously a better choice which bring numerous benefits to the students in our country. They can engrossed in study without any unnecessary disturbances, leading a more disciplined life and nevertheless have a whale of time throughout their secondary school and high school life. It will definitely be a good choice for students. Why I know? I'm too a student what! Haha.. What about you?

I decided to take some time off of Dragon Quest VII to play something else for once, and today, I happened to come across something I've been looking for the chance to play for a long time: Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat!
It's one of those games, I feel, that I always kind of wanted to try, but was scared of by complaints from people who had tried it. On the surface, it's not hard to understand why. At the time, Donkey Kong was still suffering from an identity crisis following the downfall of RareWare. The team that brought us the classic DKC games was no more, and Nintendo was suddenly in a position where one of their most beloved IPs had no development team to work on it.
So that meant a lot of experimental titles.
Donkey Konga, Donkey Kong Jungle Climber, Donkey Kong Barrel Blast… lots of different games from lots of different teams didn't do a whole lot to fill in the gap DKC left behind. And a lot of these games, whether they deserved it or not, were criticized for it.
Sound familiar? It should. This is sort of what's happening with Metroid now. DKC didn't get a 'real' sequel until 2011… over a decade after DKC3 launched. Returns was a fantastic return to form for the classic formula and honestly one of the best games on the Wii.
So it's kind of surprising, for me, who grew up thinking that all of the experimental DK titles were complete garbage, to experience them now. I've already played Jungle Climber, and I believe I described it as being something I would have hated if I had paid full price for it, but found it a fun little novelty to spend time with on the VC.
Jungle Beat, however, is a completely different beast entirely. I'm suddenly VERY interested in learning more about this game now that I've spent a little bit of time with it, because there's actually quite a lot about it that other fans have seriously overlooked. Namely, just how much of an influence THIS game in particular had on the Returns reboot, even if it in and of itself wasn't a real sequel to DKC for a number of reasons I'll get into shortly.
One of the first things I noticed when I booted the game up was the fact that, incredibly, this game had the same aesthetic as Returns, despite being released several years earlier. DK looks the same and has the same voice, the environments look similar, DK beats on his enemies the same way he does on bosses in Returns (It's only a lot cooler here, by the way) and the visuals have the same sort of style to them.
The similarities are definitely present, and I'm kind of amazed that I've never seen any one else ever address this. This game clearly influenced Returns development quite a lot. I'm starting to wonder if the barrel rocket levels from Returns came from Barrel Blast as well. Returns took a lot of influences from a lot of different Donkey Kong games. Not just the original trilogy.
So what does this mean for Jungle Beat?
It manages to take an already existing character and do a number of interesting new things with him, despite his already existing catalog of high quality games. For example, many players, such as myself, were surprised at how high quality the boss fights in Returns were. The boss fights in the original trilogy, generally speaking, were not all that impressive.
As it turns out, the boss fights for Returns seem to have been strongly influenced by Jungle Beat in particular. They aren't the exact same, and I will say the Returns formula is a huge improvement, but putting the beat down on the bosses in this game is still incredibly satisfying regardless. One boss will fly above you, and you will have to catapault yourself up to it to attack. Something about it works really well in spite of how much easier they are than the typical Returns boss. This game feels very much like an arcade game, actually. Levels are over quickly, but always offer some kind of depth to them. You're always messing around with some kind of new mechanic, always fighting a completely different boss, and then always moving on to something new. It's very refreshing after trying to struggle through Dragon Quest VII.
Is Jungle Beat better than the original Trilogy, or Returns? Well… no, I don't think anyone is saying that. Again, as much as I like Jungle Beat for trying something new, it suffers from feeling a little too arcadey in some ways at times. I'm already starting to worry that the game will be over before I know it, which is a shame because I really am enjoying it. I also feel as if the gameplay doesn't have nearly the same amount of depth as DKCR does. I think a MERE level in DKCR has more depth to it than Jungle Beat's weird kingdom system, where you play a number of short levels to get to the boss.
Returns is definitely better, I feel, but I also don't think Jungle Beat is all that bad in spite of it. Much like Jungle Climber, I think it's an interesting spin off title that hardcore fans of the series will love.
