Prima scriptura is a doctrine that says canonized scripture is "first" or "above all" sources of divine revelation.
Implicitly, this view acknowledges that, besides canonical scripture, there are other guides for what a believer should believe, and how he should live, such as the created order, traditions, charismatic gifts, mystical insight, angelic visitations, conscience, common sense, the views of experts, the spirit of the times or something else. Prima scriptura suggests that ways of knowing or understanding God and his will, that do not originate from canonized scripture, are in a second place, perhaps helpful in interpreting that scripture, but testable by the canon and correctable by it, if they seem to contradict the scriptures.
Roman Catholicism
The Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation is clear on the total equality of Scripture with Catholic tradition when it says that "both Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scripture are to be accepted and venerated with the same sense of loyalty and reverence" because together they "form one sacred deposit of the word of God, committed to the Church."[1] So, in one sense, Scripture has no primacy over Tradition, but an ancient tradition holds that the Word of God, though equally authoritative in whichever form it comes, comes primarily in the form of Sacred Scripture, and thus we should seek for Sacred Doctrine primarily in the Scriptures. As Thomas Aquinas said:
...[S]acred doctrine...properly uses the authority of the canonical Scriptures as an incontrovertible proof, and the authority of the doctors of the Church as one that may properly be used, yet merely as probable. For our faith rests upon the revelation made to the apostles and prophets who wrote the canonical books, and not on the revelations (if any such there are) made to other doctors.[2]
For this reason, some sources say that prima scriptura is the normative Catholic approach. Yves Congar referred to prima scriptura as the "normative primacy of Scripture" as he described the work of Augustine of Hippo and Thomas Aquinas. Pope John Paul II in an address to academics in 1986 said, "Theology must take its point of departure from a continual and updated return to the Scriptures read in the Church." This statement has been taken by some as support for interpreting the Church's teaching in terms of the prima scriptura perspective.
Wesleyan Methodism
Another version of the prima scriptura approach may be the Wesleyan Quadrilateral, which maintains that Scripture is to be the primary authority for the Church. Nonetheless, it is best interpreted through the lenses of reason, personal experience, and Church tradition, although the Bible remains the crucial and normative authority for Christians. According to the United Methodist Church, which adheres to this notion:
|Scripture is considered the primary source and standard for Christian doctrine. Tradition is experience and the witness of development and growth of the faith through the past centuries and in many nations and cultures. Experience is the individual's understanding and appropriating of the faith in the light of his or her own life. Through reason the individual Christian brings to bear on the Christian faith discerning and cogent thought. These four elements taken together bring the individual Christian to a mature and fulfilling understanding of the Christian faith and the required response of worship and service.[3]
Additionally, the Quaker concept of the Inner light and charismatic views of the Holy Spirit as an active force in the life of the believer may be examples of the prima scriptura approach. Groups like Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Jehovah's Witnesses place organizational authority over their scriptures.
The Mormon church accepts the Bible as the word of God "as far as it is translated correctly," [4] and it regards parts of the Apocrypha,[5] some writings of the Protestant Reformers and non-Christian religious leaders, and the non-religious writings of some philosophers to be inspired, though not canonical.[6] Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the interpretation of scripture and codification of doctrines is considered the responsibility of the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses.[7]
Others may not be as formal as these in their identification of other sources of revelation, alongside of Scripture, but speak frequently of God "speaking to", "guiding", and "telling" the believer to do or to believe specific things. If the believer treats these communications as subordinate to the Bible, leaving them open to question if they contradict the Scriptures, their practice might be described as an example of prima scriptura.[original research?]
Contrast with sola scriptura
Prima scriptura is sometimes contrasted to sola scriptura, which literally translates "by the scripture alone". The latter doctrine as understood by many Protestants—particularly Evangelicals—teaches that the Scriptures are the sole infallible rule of faith and practice, but that the Scriptures' meaning can be mediated through many kinds of secondary authority, such as the ordinary teaching offices of the Church, antiquity, the councils of the Christian Church, reason, and experience.
However, sola scriptura rejects any original infallible authority, other than the Bible. In this view, all secondary authority is derived from the authority of the Scriptures and is therefore subject to reform when compared to the teaching of the Bible. Church councils, preachers, Bible commentators, private revelation, or even a message allegedly from an angel or an apostle are not an original authority alongside the Bible in the sola scriptura approach.

August/September 2001
Whether this complication is the result of long-term antiretroviral therapy or HIV itself is yet to be determined. There are many speculations as to what contributes to the development of avascular necrosis in HIV-infected individuals, however, its exact cause remains an enigma.
Avascular necrosis occurs in both hips of more than 50 percent of affected adults. It is also found in the shoulder, knee and small bones of the hands and feet in approximately 15 percent of affected individuals.
In general, trauma is known to be a common cause of avascular necrosis of the hip. If a person is involved in a car accident or sports-related incident, and the femoral head of the bone breaks and the blood vessel tears, it could result in avascular necrosis.
Alcoholism and long-term use of steroids such as prednisone and cortisone are also known to predispose an individual to AVN. Guerra et al. report that both alcohol intake and long-term steroid use have shown to cause alterations in circulating lipids, with the formation of small lipid droplets that act as microemboli (small particles of fat causing a blockage in the vessel). It is thought that these microemboli may in turn cause local clotting within the blood vessel, which supplies nutrients to the bone. The development of a blood clot in such an important vessel can decrease delivery of blood and nutrients, and eventually causes the bone to deteriorate.
SLE is an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation of the connective tissue. It manifests with frequent fevers, weakness, joint pains or arthritis resembling rheumatoid arthritis, erythematous skin lesions on the face, neck or upper extremities and anemia.
In their study, Molina et al. state that only five cases of simultaneous SLE and HIV infection have been reported in adults, and two of lupus nephritis in children with AIDS. Striking clinical and laboratory similarities were seen between SLE and HIV infection. Among others were malar rash (rash on the cheeks), alopecia (hair loss), oral ulcers, arthritis, fever, weight loss, hemolytic anemia (anemia due to destruction of red blood cells), antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL), leukopenia (decrease in certain white blood cells called leukocytes) and lymphadenopathy (any disease process affecting the lymph nodes). Among these patients, two were diagnosed with SLE, and both developed HIV infection several years after the diagnosis of SLE had been documented.
Interestingly, clinical and serologic improvements were observed in both patients following HIV infection. The investigators believe that this clinical discovery, in addition to several other animal studies, lends support to an important role for the CD4 cells in the pathogenesis of SLE.
The presence of avascular necrosis in these two patients was another finding. The investigators stated that although avascular necrosis is a well-known complication in patients with SLE treated with or without steroids, these two cases highlight the possibility that HIV infection may also be a risk factor for the development of this complication.
No clinical evidence of lupus activity was seen in these two patients. Patients were on low doses of prednisone, and it was clearly established that HIV infection preceded the onset of their avascular necrosis. Hence, the investigators suggested a causal relationship among HIV infection, antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) and the onset of avascular necrosis.
Furthermore, although both of these patients experienced clinical remission of their lupus activity, their course was complicated by aseptic necrosis of the bone. The investigators reported that it is possible that depletion of CD4 lymphocytes may lead to an improved clinical picture of SLE, and concluded that HIV infection might improve lupus activity by its direct effect on CD4 T-helper cells but also induce bone complication.
Multiple studies have reported that corticosteroid use is the chief risk factor for the development of AVN in SLE. The clear dose-time relationship between the development of AVN and corticosteroids in people with SLE has also been demonstrated.
However, despite this fact, there has been considerable debate as to whether the primary pathophysiological cause was corticosteroid therapy or an underlying susceptibility latent in SLE. The same debate applies to the development of AVN in people infected with HIV. Whether it is the dose-time relationship of steroid utilization or the long-term effects of the virus itself is yet to be determined.
Clinically diagnosed avascular necrosis is progressive in 70 to 80 percent of patients who are managed non-operatively and usually results in collapse of the femoral head. Surgery is usually needed and recommended for disabling symptoms. Although there does not appear to be any benefit in changing antiretroviral therapy, underlying medical conditions such as hypertriglyceridemia, steroid use, alcohol use and possibly the use of anabolic steroids should be addressed.

Ray Rinaldi has bought his last Ford.
``In my lifetime I`ve spent over $64,000 buying Ford cars and trucks,`` he said. ``But I definitely will never buy another Ford product as long as I live.``
Why not?
Therein, as Shakespeare might say, hangs a tale.
Rinaldi, who lives in Sunrise, leased a Thunderbird from Powell Ford last November -- the same dealer he`s been going to for the past 13 years.
It is, he says, a lemon.
Rinaldi doesn`t blame Powell for that. He doesn`t even blame Ford for that. After all, he says, when you make thousands of cars a day you`re bound to make a bad one occasionally.
But he does blame them for not admitting the car is a lemon and doing something about that. Instead Ford representatives claim in letters to Rinaldi that there`s nothing wrong with the car. (The dealership refused to discuss the case with me.)
``I don`t know how they can say there`s nothing wrong with it. It`s already had seven sets of brakes, and they had to fix the front end because it was cracked when I got it. It`s also had fogged-up turn signal lights, the front seats had to be fixed, it idles rough, and one mechanic told me he thinks it`s been in an accident. Heck, it only had 1,600 miles on it the first time I took it in last January and already the brakes were growling,`` he said.
Last March, when the car continued to have problems despite trips to the dealer for service, Rinaldi followed Ford`s consumer complaint procedure and met with a company representative. The representative told him there was nothing wrong with the car.
He didn`t believe that, so he went to the dealer and asked for a new car. The dealer, he said, was willing to accommodate him -- for a price.

Homepage setup
If you have imported the sample content these pages have been created for you :)
Go to Pages > Add new and create a new page. Give it a title like "Home" and on the Page Attributes box on the right select one of the Homepage templates. Have a look at the following screenshot:
Now go to Settings > Reading and set the page you just created as your Front page. Have a look at the image below.
As you can see there's an option Posts page under the Front page option. Create a new page called Blog or News or anything that you want to publish normal posts and set it here as your Posts page page.
Back to the homepage
The homepage as you can see consists of some specific areas. The slider, 4 sidebars and a main area where you can display your news posts. Let's setup the slider. Go to Slider > New Slider Item. Set the title. This is the text that will be displayed inside the slide. Set the featured image which will be cropped automatically to fit the slider and finally in the Slider Settings you can set the URL where users will visit if they click on this slider item, if you want a video on the slider instead, place the video URL in the corresponding box, by checking the box below you can disable the text displayed on the slider. Finally you have a dropdown menu with four available positions for the slider's title. Here's a screenshot:
Easy eh? You can link to internal parts of your website or even other sites. We decided to make the slider that way for extra flexibility. Moving on! Go to Appearance > Widgets and you will see 4 widgetized areas called Homepage sidebar #1 through Homepage sidebar #4. Fill them with the widgets that you want. We will explain a bit later of our custom widgets and how to use them.
Now the main area will display your normal blog posts and you can set the number of posts that will be displayed in this area from our Theme Settings > Homepage options.
Creating listing pages
You will need to create a listing page for each custom post type (artists, discography, events, galleries, videos) to display your content. To do that create a new page under Pages > New for each custom post listing page and from the Page attributes panel on the right select one of the available templates, depending on the custom post type you are targeting. Available templates are highlighted in the screenshot below
Once you have selected the desired template you will be presented with a listing options panel, it will appear below the main content editor and will allow you to apply different layouts to your templates. An example of this listing options panel is demonstrated below
this is the options panel for the discography listing, similarly you will have panels for the rest of your custom post types.
Navigation setup
One last thing that we need to setup for our homepage (but visible on any other page of our website as well) is the main navigation. So go to Appearance > Menus create a new menu with a menu name of your choice. In the Theme Locations select the menu you just created. Add items from the left hand side boxes on the right. Re-order with drag and drop. Like the image below:
(TIP, for more info on creating and managing menus, please read the WordPress Menu User Guide here)
Event page setup
If you have imported the sample content these pages have been created for you :)
It's time for the world to know about our events! Go to Pages > Add new and create a new page. From the page attributes on the right, from the Templates dropdown select the Events Listing template. Now you can start inserting your events from Events > New Events item. So, give the event a title add any event relevant text to the main editor and move a bit lower in the Event Settings section where we fill the details of the event like the image on the below.
For a preview on how the events are shown check our online demo here.
As you can see in the Select the event status dropdown we have 4 different types of statuses.
- Tickets Available
- Sold Out
- Canceled
- Watch live
For status "Sold out" and "Canceled" you don't have to set anything else. For status "Tickets Available" you can insert the URL from the site where people can buy tickets in the input field below with the title "If the event is still available enter the URL where someone can buy tickets". Same thing for the status "Watch live".
A last option for the events page is that you can show/hide the events map and the past events. Just go to Appearance > Theme settings > Display Options and at the very end of this section check / uncheck the checkboxes for these options.
Discography setup
If you have imported the sample content these pages have been created for you :)
First things first
Let's install the SoundCloud Shortcode plugin as well. We are going to need it if we want to have music from SoundCloud on our website.
Go to Plugins > Add New and search from the SoundCloud Shortcode. Click install and once the plugin is ready activate it. Now we can use SoundCloud too!
Let's see how we can recreate an album from the preview like this one.
Go to Discography > New Discography Item. Set the album title and upload the album's cover in the featured image section. Now in the main editor you can write anything you want PLUS you can display the tracklisting of your album with the ability to let the users review your tracks! For this we are going to use our tracklisting system.
Each discography item, can have multiple tracks assigned to it. Tracks can be registered through the Tracks Details section, within the Discography Settings section.
To add a new track, press the Add Track button. This will add a new empty line for you to fill. First, add a title and optionally a subtitle.
If the track can be purchased online, enter the URL inside the Buy URL field.
You can provide a preview (or even the full song) for your visitors to listen to, by entering the URL of the MP3 file inside the Play URL field. You can upload and/or select an already uploaded song through the WordPress Media Manager, by pressing the button located inside the field.
You may allow your users to download the track, by entering the song's URL inside the Download URL field. Please note that for locally hosted MP3s, the theme tries to force the visitor's browser to download the file. If the file is on another server, whether it will be downloaded or just opened, is a matter of configuration of the remote server and not the theme's issue.
You can also add the lyrics for each track, in the big Song Lyrics field.
Tracks can be re-arranged by dragging and dropping them in the appropriate order. Track numbers are automatically updated to be in sequence.
In order to remove a track, press the Remove Me button next to the desired track. Please be careful, as there is no confirmation of removal. If you publish/save/update the post, the change is irreversible.
Adding SoundCloud tracks to the tracklisting
To add SoundCloud tracks to the tracklisting you need to have the SoundCloud ShortCode plugin installed, details on this you can find above. Then, you need to paste your track's URL from SoundCloud in the Play URL box of your tracklisting item.
Displaying the track listing
Once you add your tracks you may display them by using the [tracklisting] shortcode in the discography item's main text box. By default, it will display the tracks of the current discography item, so the simplest usage is this:
You may also display the track listing of any discography item, in any other post/page or widget (that supports shortcodes) by passing the ID or slug parameter of the discography to the shortcode. E.g.:
[tracklisting id="25″]
[tracklisting slug="the-division-bell"]
You can also selectively display tracks, by passing their track number (counting from 1), separated by a comma, like this:
[tracklisting tracks="2,5,8″]
and can limit the total number of tracks displayed like this:
[tracklisting limit="3″]
Of course, you can mix and match the parameters, so the following is totally valid:
[tracklisting slug="the-division-bell" tracks="2,5,8″ limit="2″]
The older syntax, [tracklisting][track][/track][/tracklisting] is still supported but not preferred. See the additional information section below.
Videos setup
If you have imported the sample content these pages have been created for you :)
Let's add some videos. We have 2 options. We can display self-hosted videos or videos from YouTube, Vimeo etc.
Go to Videos > New Videos Item and you will see the following screen.
- Is the title of the video
- The video's featured image
- URL to the video
- Check only if your video is self-hosted
You can also set the location where the video was filmed and the filming date.
Galleries setup
If you have imported the sample content these pages have been created for you :)
In order to create a new photo gallery go to Galleries > New Gallery item you will see something like this:
- This is the gallery's title.
- The featured image that will be displayed in the listing page like here
- The venue name (e.g Amnesia club)
- The location (Ibiza, Spain)
- The date the album was taken
- Click the button to start adding images to the gallery
- Select how many columns you want this gallery to appear in
- and finally select whether you want a column or a slider layout.
More information on gallery usage can be found in the additional information section below.
Artists setup
If you have imported the sample content these pages have been created for you :)
In order to insert a new artist just visit Artists > New artist. In this section you won't find any custom fields, so you can enter the name of the artist in the title field, use the featured image and the main editor for any content (biography etc.)
We have created 14 custom widgets. They are really simple and they let you display various important info around the site.
The theme also provides seperate widgetized sidebars for each section.
Site-Wide widget
To recreate the site-wide area with the images you see on the demo
You need to go to appearance > widgets place a text widget in the Site-Wide Widgets sidebar. Inside you need to paste HTML like so

in this code you will need to replace:
- the # in href with the URL to your profile on each music service
- the www.yoursite.com placeholder with the actual URL of your site
How to use the page builder template
The theme comes bundled with a page builder template which allows you to use your favorite page builder plugin on it and create unique layouts very easily.
To use that template start by going to Pages > Add New. This will create a new page. Add a title to your page and select the Page builder template from the template drop down in the Page Attributes metabox.
That's it. You can now start building your page using the page builder of your choice, once done publish it and check it out.
Additional information
Creating Galleries
To create a gallery using our gallery management system follow these steps:
- On the "Gallery Information" panel click the Add Images button.
- To upload your images, drag & drop them in the Edit Gallery window which will pop-up, or select Add to Gallery in order to select already uploaded ones. Once you are done, click the Update Gallery button on the lower right.
- Your "Gallery Information" panel will look like this
- You can re-arrange the order of images by drag & drop.
- If you wish to remove an image from the gallery, hover your mouse over it and click the X as shown below.
- By checking the Randomize order box your gallery images will appear in random order which will change on every page refresh.
- When done, publish the gallery item.
If you need to add images after the gallery's creation just follow the same procedure.
Older shortcode syntax (not recommended)
Discography items didn't support a real track listing in previous versions of the theme. The following is provided for reference to early theme users that may have their discographies set up according to this older way. The following is still fully supported, but not the recommended way any more, as it's harder and less flexible.
The format is like this:
[tracklisting] [track track_no1 title="Nobody Move" subtitle="Self-hosted audio player" type="player" buy_url="http://someurl"]https://www.cssigniter.com/assets/audio/track1.mp3[/track] [track track_no="2" title="Wega - Ruback" subtitle="Embeded from SoundCloud" type="soundcloud" buy_url="http://someotherurl"][soundcloud width="100%" url="http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/44790907" iframe="true" ][/track] [/tracklisting]
As you can see we start with an opening [tracklisting] tag. This is there just to inform WordPress that we are creating a new track listing. Then in order to create a new track you start with opening a new [track] item followed by:
track_no: The number of the track
title: The first title
subtitle: OPTIONAL the subtitle of the track, if any.
type: player or soundcloud depending on the type of audio you want. If it's player you specify the path to the mp3 file. If it's soundcloud then you use the soundcloud Widget Code found when you click the Share button under a soundcloud track. USE type="soundcloud" for MixCloud sounds too!
buy_url: if you want to sell each track seperately you can provide the URL for each track where people can visit and buy it.
download_url: a button will be displayed giving your user the option to download the track.
We close the tracklisting tag with [/tracklisting] and we are done!

The Bournville Society plays host to England's oldest rambling group
- Details
- Category: Latest news
- Published: Tuesday, 20 October 2015 11:58
- Written by Nigel Dawkins
- Hits: 4518
After receiving an illustrated presentation on the history of the Estate from the Bournville Society the Institute Ramblers, founded at Birmingham's Midland Institute in 1894, requested a Bournville walk in July.
With a predicted 30°C+ of heat plans were made to shorten this six mile circular walk but in the event 28 members of the rambling group enjoyed a pleasantly warm, 23°C day.
At the start of the walk drinks were taken at Rowheath Pavilion in the centre of 60 acres of sports provision. Following Gallow's Brook through Woodlands Park the group progressed to Manor Farm Park, the 50 acre estate of George Cadbury left to the city in 1951 comprising woodlands, meadows and a lake.
After a peek at what is left of Manor House, the former Cadbury home, Weoley Hill estate parks led the group towards Bournville Green past the yachting pool following Wood Brook through three more parks. Lunch was taken at Bournville Green to the sound of the Carillon bells.
With a waft of chocolate in the air the walk back to Rowheath Pavilion took the group through the Cadbury factory paths to emerge onto the works recreation ground in front of the country's best example of an Arts and Crafts pavilion.
Skirting the cricket match on these grounds a further warren of passages led back to Rowheath car park.
Maps of the walk are obtainable from the Bournville Society.

September, 2012 is the month of Freedom.
Today's 14/5 Day magnifies the freedom frequency even more.
2012 = 5
Sep 2012 = 14/5
and today is the 14th, a 5 Day
In the mix we have number 14 – the 'Media' number. Media – both conventional and alternative – plays a big role in our concept of Freedom vs. Enslavement.
In 2012 finding your source of freedom is the key to happiness.
Ask yourself:
• When you share your feelings, are you completely authentic – revealing both the comfortable and uncomfortable?
• Do you risk it all… and at the same time trust that all is well?
• Are you in the habit of finding tools to help you get positive and clear, or do you allow outside forces to invade your space and set the tone of your day?
If it's the latter, your essence is being polluted by the negativity of others.
That is one definition of enslavement – the polar opposite of freedom.
In 2012 we are learning that to be free, we have to decide what is important in our lives.
Look at the number 5.
5 faces left at the bottom, right at the top and sits on a rocker. It is made from a curve and straight lines. This number embodies everything, every possibility!
But you must make choices, decisions – otherwise you will be confused and overwhelmed.
The only way to choose Is to confront your fears.
You fear of intimacy.
Your fear of being loved.
Your fear of happiness.
Your fear of letting go.
Your fear of freedom.
You're probably wondering why we fear the very things we want!
All fear is really the fear of CHANGE. Of having to make a CHOICE. Change isn't always easy – you have to be willing to embrace the truth in order to make an informed decision. You must consciously engage in life.
Change, uncertainty and fear are especially taking off right now with the intensity of our double 5 energy.
Fear is the shadow side of the number 5. So are distractions.
5 cycles ask us to decide between opportunities and distractions – and you can always choose opportunity over distraction!
The art is to find your center, your balance.
You'll especially notice distractions in the media right now.
"Dis-tract" means to draw in different directions, to divert attention, 'to throw into a state of mind in which one knows not how to act.'
"In-tention" means being 'on purpose' by directing your attention INWARDS. Going with-in.
Distractions will always be there. Distractions dis-engage your heart and activate your need for Darwinian survival. Foil all distractions by tuning to your HEART.
Set a good intention today and every day. Open your heart to inspiration, to goodness, wisdom and beauty.
Doing this consistently is deeply life affirming.
Abundance, happiness, love and peace are all part of the SAME dynamic – in each case you are welcoming goodness by embracing your exquisite inner beauty and making your life and environment a sanctuary of gratitude and joy.
And to ensure your life is tuned to a positive frequency, check your current name.
So much heart-ache and pain can be shifted and released when you embrace ONE fortunate current name.
If you only do this one thing you are many steps ahead!
Click here for your Is My Name Fortuante? report:
Go within, tune to your heart center, set your positive intention – BE free!
Love and Blessings,
P.S. Go even deeper and discover the magic and mystery in your birth numbers – all are revealed in your inspiring Personal Numerology Blueprint. Great news is that your Is My Name Fortunate? Report comes FREE with this report.

Italian-born, London-based designer Kinder Aggugini may not be well-known (or, at all known) among American shoppers, but that's about to change. Aggugini—who was head designer at Versace and ghost designer at Vivienne Westwood, John Galliano, Paul Smith, Calvin Klein and Costume National before launching his own label in 2006—has been tapped to create the first in a series of designer collaborations for Macy's recently revamped Impulse department, which will be available in upwards of 400 stores nationwide beginning on February 15th, at prices ranging from $40-$140, with specialty pieces, like a cropped black leather jacket, topping out at $300.
The Fashion Informer covered the collection's launch party at Grammercy Park Hotel for Vogue.com (read about the party, which Alexandra Richards DJed, here). And until the merch—which is definitely the best high street designer collaboration we've ever seen, quality-wise—hits stores next month, enjoy a sneak peek, below.

1 Hour Sleep in 48 Hours
First of all, hooping peps me up. So I hooped before class. Although I don't think I counted that in my 30/30. I came home, got dressed early and waited for my ride. 10 minutes into my 30/30. Then I started to play with my minis. I really lose time when I play with those. Not that I can do fun, cool things. My friend called and I ran out. I didn't stop my clock. So I don't know how long I was hooping. Therefore, I assumed 15 minutes. I took my troo hoop with me and hooped at breaks. It perked me up. I had 8 minutes left. Last break, hooooop hooop hooop. DONE! Now finish work and come home. I'm tired. I'm exhausted. Yet I am missing my 30 minutes directly after work. Although I am still too tired at this point to pick up the hoop. I'm going to bed after this charmed.
But I really can't hoop in my scrubs with my troo hoop. I'm half tempted to take my extra piping and make a hoop just for work. I would just keep it there in the exercise room. If someone steals it, who cares? I wouldn't be using expensive gaffer on it. Also, it would prevent those black scuffs.
Hoop Path 5 plans are going well. I have 3 friends wanting to go! Scooore. That means rooms will be around $90 for four days. That helps with gas too! Yay! Although 4 people's multiple hoops in my mom's car will be pretty bad. I think I'll make two or so collapsible for myself. I'm making Laurie a hoop this weekend that will be infinity style too. My husband isn't so positive about it. Maybe I am being selfish. He says he'd love to go to gaming conventions but he doesn't get to. He has not mentioned it. After we went to Origins, he said how it wasn't like it used to be. I thought that was his way of dismissing them because he's never mentioned it before now. I don't know. Ugh. I really want to go. I want to take my hooping to a new level, meet other hoopers, and just have fun! And have a mini vacation! I mean it's not like I am spending all my money on it. Splitting it by four makes it so much cheaper than it would have been. :(
I'm conflicted. It gets to the point where I start throwing a little tantrums in my head saying I work two jobs, I work hard, I can't even do one thing for me. Yes it's a big thing but ugh! I mean I will be paying for 75% of our one year anniversary vacation. Can't I have one thing for me? Don't I deserve something like this? I haven't even been able to go to 4-H camp in years because I have to work a real job. :( I miss going to camp. Can't this be my own little version of 4-H camp with hoops and no campers?
So yeah, that's my hoop world right now.
3 comments:
uhm, GO YOU - what determination for 30/30! That's rad. So sorry that HP plans are causing a problem, though I think it is a GREAT opportunity and it's only one event out of quite a few that you are actually able to get to -ReplyDelete
Good luck!! Im sure you guys will work it all out :)
ps. YES make a hoop for work!
- AnonymousMarch 10, 2011 at 9:15 PM
Do what I do with my husband. I wiggle up to him and sweetly bargain ;) If I can spend ____ amount of dollars on hoop related things, then I let him know he can spend that same amount on whatever he wants, which is most likely books or tech stuff. And then I go all, "pleeeeeease :) :) :) Just THINK what YOU could buy if I can go to this...! Pleeeeasseee :) :) :)" haha, or whatever. He usually laughs at me, says yes, and then proceeds to line up his next order of books. ;)ReplyDelete
I might sponser paying for him to go to GenCon. Although did you know that GenCon, all four days, without lodging, is more expensive than Hoop Path. I will agree to only paying for 2 days at Gen con and overnight stay for him. He pays for food and gas. He and his best friend can make it a trip. Or whatever. I will figure it out more tomorrow or this weekend. I don't really want to go to GenCon with him.ReplyDelete
The thing is he spent a good portion of the tax refund minus paying certain bills on building a brand new war gaming army. One box alone is $60. That's why I stopped feeling bad for purchasing my LED. I mean did I get the $200 for "spare cash and buying new work scrubs?" Nope.

Usually I am a fan of quick cleaning. My Pinterest boards are full of pins about cleaning the house in 5 minutes a day, schedules to keep me on task, etc. (Are you with me?) Cleaning is definitely NOT my favorite thing. But living in a dirty mess is also NOT my favorite thing.
What is a girl to do?
For a few months I was doing an internship and lived in community with other interns. The house we lived in was paid for by the organization. The was in the hood of a big city. and it was a mess. Like, spagetti sauce on the walls, mildew on the ceiling, scum on the floor kind of mess. Yuck!
While my roommate worked on the walls, I took it upon myself to clean up the floors.
A broom did not clean it up.
A mop did not clean it up.
A Swiffer did not clean it up.
There was no quick fix that would make those floors clean. Agh!
So what did I use instead? — elbow grease. Using an all-purpose cleaner, a brillo pad, and my muscles, I scrubbed those floors cleaner than the original tiles. Ain't she a beaut?
(I would not suggest using a brillo pad on all floors, as it may cause damage, since these floors where old and ruin anyway, I went for it)
What did I learn through this process?
- Sometimes cleaning takes time.
- Elbow grease is one of the most important cleaning products you own.
- Cleaning can equal exercise.

Santo Andre, Brazil: The defender branded Germany`s `weakest link` says he is ready for the toughest job in football: keeping Lionel Messi quiet in Sunday`s World Cup final.
Benedikt Hoewedes has forced his way into Joachim Loew`s starting line-up after Germany arrived at Brazil 2014 without an established left-back.
Now he will run out at Rio de Janeiro`s iconic Maracana Stadium to face Messi and Argentina for the world title.
Having kept the Selecao in check in the 7-1 semi-final thrashing of Brazil, Hoewedes` next task will be helping to shackle Messi.
Hoewedes says the Germany defence will pay Argentina`s superstar the same close attention Cristiano Ronaldo received in the 4-0 rout of Portugal in the group stages.
"Messi is one of the best players in the world, but just as I said before the Portugal game when we faced Ronaldo, we have to defend as a team," said the left-back.
"We have to stifle his opportunities to score goal and create dangerous situations."
Hoewedes plans to help `die Mannschaft` win the World Cup final to further prove his doubters wrong.
The Schalke 04 centre-back has played the 90 minutes of all six matches in the unfamiliar position and his performances have dispelled any doubters.
His former Schalke coach Felix Magath insisted "a weak point... Remains Benedikt Hoewedes as a wing-back," in his column for the daily Hamburger Abendblatt two weeks ago.
And while Hoewedes admits he is `no Roberto Carlos`, he is happy to provide Germany`s attack with dead-ball options and works just as hard as Brazil`s former star left-back.
"I am no Roberto Carlos, who was fantastic at putting in free-kicks and crosses, so I know I am not like him," said Hoewedes.
"But there is only one more match where I need to be good, critics and former coaches can judge me to be the `weak link`, but that leaves me cold.
"I just worry about what the national coach thinks and the feedback he gives me, anything else I just shrug off.
"I just listened to Loew`s opinion, it took me a while to come back to elite football after injury last season, I just tried to offer as much as I could at the camps.
"But the fact that I have played the full 90 minutes of all the World Cup matches, which is fantastic.
"I can barely grasp it myself, but what is important now is to take the last step and crown our performances by winning the title."
Amidst growing expectations in Germany of a fourth World Cup title, Hoewedes said the Brazil mauling will mean nothing if they lose at the Maracana.
"Many people are giving us slaps on the back and we love the compliments, but we can`t make the mistake that it`s already over, far off it," said Hoewedes.
"People are saying in Germany that the title is almost in our pocket, but the Argentinians will fight to take the title home.
"We`ll have to do all we can to make sure that doesn`t happen.
"We also know the time is ripe now, if we don`t (win it), the semi-final victory will just be consigned to the archives of history."

Every once in a while a designer will try
something really outlandish, just to see whether it catches on. Skirts for men is on of the trends that have been consigned to the dustbin (for now) and don't mention balaclavas, which didn't work as people don't want to look like
incredibly stylish shoplifters. Now Levi's are trying to get people into
wearing really big turn-ups.
It doesn't take a genius to work out that
this probably isn't going to catch on. But if you're the kind of person who wants to wear items that absolutely
no one else is wearing then these
can be yours for £181.

Jamaica lose to T&T in Badminton CAREBACO opener
Jamaica lose to T&T in Badminton CAREBACO opener
Trinidad & Tobago created a mild upset, beating Jamaica 3-2 in the opening of the Seniors Team Event in the 2014 staging of the Caribbean Regional Badminton Confederation (CAREBACO) Championships at the Alfred Sangster Auditorium at the University of Technology (UTech) Papine campus on Thursday evening.
The Jamaicans, who are favourites to win the Championships, got off to a terrible start in the women's singles when Ruth Williams lost 15-21 and 16-21 to T&T's Nekeisha Blake to give the Trinidadians a 1-0 lead in the best-of-five games.
There was also little luck for Jamari Rose, who replaced the injured Gareth Henry, as he also went down 15-21 and 19-21 to Kerwyn Pantin in the men's singles, as T&T took a comfortable 2-0 lead heading into the crucial third set.
Needing to win the third game to stay in contention, the pair of veterans Christine Leyow-Mayne and Terry Walker did not disappoint as they whipped the pair of Avril Plaza and Jade Joseph 21-4 and 21-10 in the women's doubles and restored hope for the Jamaicans.
With the game at 2-1 in favour of T&T, the Jamaicans were now hoping for a 2-2 tie, but the pair of Anthony McNee and Garron Palmer were left stunned as they went down 15-21, 21-14 and 18-21 to T&T's men's doubles pair of Kerwyn Pantin and Keston as T&T took an unassailable lead of 3-1.
It was then left again to the veteran Leyow-Mayne to bring some pride back to the Jamaicans as she teamed up with the inconsistent Rose in the mixed doubles, and she single handed beat the pair of Alistar Espinosa and Nekeisha Blake 21-12 and 21-14.
Final score: T&T 3; Jamaica 2.
Meanwhile in the Junior team event, T&T defeated Barbados 3-2. The match started with Kristie Reno-Singh of T&T beating Amanda Haywood of Barbados 21-16, 19-21 and 21-13 in the girls' singles.
T&T then took a 2-0 lead when Will Lee easily defeated Barbados' Sadeel Foster 21-15 and 21-14 in the boy's singles.
Barbados then pulled one back through the pair of Naim Mohammed and Sheraz as they made light work of their opponents, beating the pair of Sabbeel Foster and Cory Fanus 21-14 and 21-19 in the boys' doubles.
In the girls' doubles, the pair of Amanda Haywood and Onika Moe defeated T&T's pair of Kristie Reno-Singh and Jada Renales 17-21, 21-18 and 21-15 to level the score at 2-2 to set up the deciding final fifth game.
The mixed doubles pair of Will Lee and Jada Renales then sealed the deal for T&T as they got the better of D'Andre Thorpe and Onika Moe 21-19 and 26-24 in a hard-fought game that came down to the wire.
Final score: T&T 3; Barbados 2.
The Jamaica junior team was scheduled to play their first game against Barbados yesterday at 10:00 am and then tackle T&T at 6:00 pm, while the seniors take on Barbados at 6:00 pm.
The Jamaican senior team must beat Barbados to have a chance to get to the super final tomorrow night.

don't know if somebody has already posted this, but I'd like to share the settings I've found for the benq xl2456.
Following this thread https://forums.blurbusters.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2467, entering the factory menu, "OD" -> "OD GAIN" the hexadimal value "3F" is the value which gives the most clear image while using 240 Hz, dyac set to "off" and AMA to "Premium". The binary value is "0011 1111" and decimal "63".
Testing this http://www.testufo.com/#test=ghosting, "1080 pixel per second", I see no ghosting anymore (upper ufo), just a barely noticeable tail following the ufo at the top left corner (middle) and the same for the bottom ufo.
It's still not the same visual clarity as with dyac set to "Premium/High" but way way way better than with the "OD GAIN" set to the standard "4C". Pretty impressive
Now, during movement, absolutely everything looks incredible sharp.
