Last month, I was fortunate enough to take a film photography class with Ashley Crawford. Ashley's work is bright, bold and fun. She is a rule breaker and her creativity was just the push I needed to get over the winter rut. She challenged us to experiment with consumer film, pushed film, double exposures, light leaks and more. She inspired me to purchase some lomography 800 film, which I haven't played with yet, but plan to during our Europe trip next month.
I was excited to put what I learned to use on my friend Brittney and her family. So, on a Sunday afternoon, I loaded up my gear and film and headed over to the Dial's house! I shot a mix of digital and film. Mostly film - but it was pretty dark in their living room so I made sure to take a few digitals incase my film didn't turn out. Thankfully, it did and I just love what we got.
All film images were shot on 35mm film. Stocks used included: Portra 400, Fuji400h & Kodak Max 400.

Love rolling your own cones but hate the hassel of cutting sheets and sheets of floraphane? Henna Caravan does that part for you!
Sized at 5x7 inches, these rectangle sheets make ideal cones that hold about 1 ounce of paste.
Alternatively, you can cut them in half to make mini-cones.
Henna Caravan floraphane rectangles are perfect for rolling your own cones. Once rolled and filled, use a rubber band to seal the top, a tape fold, or a binder clip. Discard after use.
(Also called cello or cellophane)
I like my rectangles a little smaller for smaller cones and so I just cut them in half and you get double the amount! I really love this as it's a really good price for the actual amount you get.
Love how easy it was to just wrap and use my henna. Can't beat it already in squares for you. Love that is see through.
Until now, I've been using either mylar or cellophane that I bought at an art supply store. The cellophane was too thin, the mylar was okay but it was a hassle to cut. A couple of years ago a few henna artists decided to do an exchange of cone material and I participated, so I got material from several different people, including Henna Caravan, who sent me a number of sheets of floraphane. I really liked it a lot. Recently, I realized that I liked the cones rolled with HC's floraphane a lot more than cones I'd made with other materials and I came to the conclusion I should stop using other stuff and use this instead. Since I make small cones, I cut them on the diagonal and then they are just the right size for mini cones. It's just the right weight - not too thin, not too thick. I like that they have patterns but you can still see through. Since it's transparent, you can see what's going on with the paste but the patterns make it easier to find the edge of the paper when you're rolling. I'll often use one color for one batch and a different color for a different batch. I think from now on I'll just stick to this floraphane and stop messing with anything else.
These are so cute! And they are all the same size! Consistently good quality and the price is great!

The Fourth dimension on agile leadership
Learn how agile leaders and collaborative communication accelerate business results and increase customer satisfaction.
If you've recently stayed in a Hilton Hotel, eaten in a Café Rouge restaurant, or purchased a Subway meal, it's likely that Fourth supported that experience. This U.K. based company is a leader in operational software solutions for the hospitality industry, supporting purchase-to-pay, demand planning, inventory and workforce management solutions in hotels, restaurants, bars and other services. Underpinned by analytics and collaboration tools, Fourth's software is used by 1,100 customers in 60 countries.
The challenge for the organisation is to keep pace with the rapid change taking place in the hospitality sector. Evolving end-user customer needs, increasing demand for mobility, and that perennial problem of having to 'do more with less' means that Fourth needs to innovate faster. It needs to bring new services to the hospitality market more quickly so clients can continue to streamline operational processes, deliver a high quality guest experience and remain both profitable and competitive in crowded market.
To support that drive, Fourth began by standardising on agile methodologies among its development teams in the U.K. and in its technology hub in Bulgaria.
"We adopted agile across our global development network to redefine the way software development is planned, executed and serviced," explains Christian Berthelsen, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at Fourth. "Agile gives us the transparency and predictability we need across our entire development lifecycle, accelerating throughput and giving clients the quality they demand."
That's not unique though. More and more organisations across the world are already turning to agile to deliver more value more quickly. What is unique is Fourth's innovative approach to agile – and that innovation lies in the leadership.
"Agile development can easily stall without agile leadership in place," says Berthelsen. "Here at Fourth, we don't lead from the top down – we lead from the bottom up. The leadership team inspires all members of staff to become agents for change. Everyone in the organisation has the personal responsibility, accountability and authority to deliver on our clients' requirements. Once we've agreed on an action, we agree as a business. That open style of leadership makes the life of the product owner and the software engineering teams so much easier, as they're not in the middle of a conflict of priorities."
As the CTO at Fourth, Berthelsen is also best placed to unpick what the characteristics are of a successful agile leader. "It's all about openness and collaboration. Agile leaders set the vision and give individuals the freedom to follow that vision. They create an environment for people to push decision making authority down to those closest to the information and they remove barriers so individuals can respond in real-time to unfolding situations."
That agile leadership extends far beyond the technology function too. Everyone from the Fourth CEO to staff in operations, sales, finance and elsewhere are conversant in agile leadership; indeed many other departments work in an agile way too. Every stakeholder is trained on what agile is, why we're doing it, and they participate in it every day.
An example from the Fourth front line highlights the direct impact that agile can make. Several high profile clients were recently pursuing Fourth to add an important new feature to an existing hospitality product. Owing to the open, collaborative communication between the Fourth senior leadership team and the developers, the development time for the new feature was reduced by 50 percent. Agile has also opened up new market opportunities. "Within one year, we have been able to enter the U.S. hospitality market with a range of exciting new products," says Berthelsen.
Carly Hodges, Head of Fourth's Agile Portfolio Office (APO), echoes these values, highlighting the importance of the APO in that collaborative decision making process. "Our APO performs two key functions," she explains. "The first is to ensure we have agile operational insight across our portfolio and the business. That means having agile metrics and key business data aggregated, so everyone is best placed to make timely, informed decisions. The second is to drive agile operations at a strategic level – ensuring we have the right processes and governance in place in the portfolio and programme layers. Together, this ensures the APO provides the transparency to align strategy with execution, determine how well we are performing against our service delivery goals and how we can continually improve."
CA Agile Central plays a critical role in this innovation strategy by aligning the teams and providing the transparency needed to be able to share key information with stakeholders and customers. "CA Agile Central gives Fourth the power to see progress across multiple teams, projects and programs from a single system of record – and collaborate for better results," says Berthelsen.
A dynamic organisation like Fourth doesn't stay ahead by standing still. The business is growing – and that means Agile has to scale too. "We challenged ourselves 12 months ago to double the size of our software engineering teams," Berthelsen concludes. "The agile methodology and data governance, coupled with the Scaled Agile Framework we use and our agile leadership strategy, collectively enabled us to add those engineering teams successfully. It means our clients are getting the high quality hospitality solutions they need to lead their organisations into the future."

Nashville State President Visits TCIX
ONLY – Yesterday, the Tennessee Department of Correction (TDOC) and the Tennessee Higher Education Initiative (THEI) welcomed Nashville State Community College President Dr. Shanna Jackson to the Turney Center Industrial Complex (TCIX). During the visit, Dr. Jackson visited with inmates who are also enrolled in classes at Nashville State Community College. This collaboration is made possible through a partnership with THEI.
THEI Executive Director Molly Lasagna also received a $2,500 donation from the Nashville State Community College Foundation during the visit. According to Ms. Lasagna, "This program's success is mainly due to the support of the community, Nashville State, and TDOC. I must add that the folks who are doing the hardest work are the inmates in the program. This isn't an easy course load. These students must work just as hard as those taking classes in the community." TCIX Associate Warden of Treatment Stacy Oakes agrees, "This program is one that changes lives and enhances public safety. Research tells us that offenders with a post-secondary education are less likely to recidivate and that makes Tennessee safer."
THEI operates higher education partnerships at two prisons – Turney Center Industrial Complex and Northwest Correctional Complex. TDOC also has higher education partnerships between Lipscomb University and Tennessee Prison for Women and Rhodes College and the Women's Therapeutic Residential Center in Henning.

50 - How Far is Too Far
Luke tells us a hilarious tale about this one time at Franciscan (drink!) that he auditioned for Macbeth and was shunned by theater nerds. This opens us up to talk about Luke's love life and past relationships, a common theme here at Catching Foxes. Then we talk about Lethal Weapon and My Cousin Vinny for a few moments, as well as having the priest face East during Mass.
Then we enter the fray. How far is too far? This is the question that drives us back into Luke's love life, but only after Gomer tells a 4 minute story about being a pubescent boy with wild hormones trying to control himself in the presence of a girl. Yes, it's about erections. Yes, it's hilarious. And yes, most humans should probably just skip it. (Get Overcast as your podcast player and it'll show you chapters so you can skip to the next part! or re-listen!)
We discuss (not instruct!) about balance, dating, experimenting, failing, and what it means to obey the moral laws on sexuality and to live the virtues within those laws.
We end it with Luke's shocking declaration that he is addicted to his iPhone and will be giving it up for at least 90 days. He's getting a dumb phone, an old iPod, and I guess some road maps to figure out how to get around town. He's addicted.
We end with a contest: Write a review on iTunes and we will enter you in a contest (US Residents only!) to win After Virtue (or some other book). Only those who enter today (Friday, July 8, 2016) are eligible. I will gather all new reviews, put them in a hat, draw the winner and announce the winner in two weeks (after work trips are done). Direct message us on Twitter or Facebook if you're the name we chose to get your winnings!

Stem and Crack Repair Tip!
As mentioned before, I have a crack in my primary vine, just past where the pumpkin has set. One way to help repair the area is to create a paste of sulfur and water, and apply it to the affected area(s). The sulfur will help dry out the area, and also serve as a disinfectant. So, if you have a crack developing on your pumpkin, or a particularly wet area that may become susceptible to rot, mix up a thick paste of sulfur and water, and apply it generously to the problem area. The earlier you can apply the sulfur paste the better.
The photos were taken Sunday, July 23rd, in the early afternoon. The dimensions were:
Side-to-side: 62"
Stem-to-blossom: 61"
Circumference at widest point: 83"
Total: 206"=194 pounds estimated weight.
I hope the sulfur works!
Take care,

My little brother hung himself on June 13th. I've been on autopilot for the past week, taking care of my parents, trying to help my Mom struggling through the knowledge that my brother was a professed atheist. Relegated to the role of helper, fixer, runner, even to make sure our "guests" had seats, drinks, were comfortable and were all properly and graciously greeted and thanked for attending. Does anyone realize that we, as brothers and sisters lost someone too? Sorry, I'm just mad.

I wanted to "bump" the idea of an iPad app. I would love to have one. I commonly input my tasks while I am working at a coffee shop or other and it would be nice to be able to do this without having to turn my head sideways to do it. I have an external keyboard so it sort of functions as a laptop for me and man would an iPad native app be amazing!
Thanks for listening!

Honestly, with the iphone app as the perfect way to input or check on tasks while mobile I see an iPad version very facultative... that said I donÄt know how difficult or easy it became to make a universal app for the two mobile platforms.

There is much ado about the significance of natural resources, particularly hydrocarbons, perceived as vital to States for strategic, economic and environmental reasons. Consequently, inter-State disputes are inevitable where hydrocarbon resources are located in areas without clear boundary delimitations. Disputes can also occur as a result of the possibility of hydrocarbon resources straddling boundary lines due to its fugacious character.
Land boundaries are pretty much easily defined, with each State restricted to its territorial sovereignty. Maritime boundaries on the other hand are not always clearly defined. Although the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries provide some examples of bilateral treaties establishing maritime boundaries, it was after the 1930 Codification Conference in The Hague and the coming into force of the various Laws of the Sea that State practice on the subject became substantial .
The 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) which supersedes the UNCLOS 1958 regulates the international maritime environment. The UNCLOS gives coastal States rights to maritime zones, which can extend to a distance of 200 nautical miles or more from the baselines. These zones are known to be rich in natural resources. While this extension of jurisdiction has led to an increase in offshore hydrocarbon activities, it has created the problem of overlapping maritime boundaries resulting from the proximity of some coastal States to each other .
The most prominent boundary disputes include the dispute in the East China involving China, Japan and Taiwan; in the South China concerning the Spratly Islands claimed by China, Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei and the Philippines. There are also maritime disputes in the Gulf of Guinea and in the Middle American and Caribbean regions. Cooperation on maritime issues by States is therefore very important in contributing to the maintenance of peace, security and economic well-being for all the nations of the world.
This article aims to show the legal responses to maritime boundary disputes: negotiation and other adversarial dispute resolution processes. The Nigeria-Cameroon case study is utilized, as well as Nigeria – Sao Tome & Principe joint development. Conclusion is further drawn advocating the concept of Joint Development Agreements (JDA), an innovative and viable option in managing boundary disputes where natural resources are involved.

Aquila Wealth Advisors' Newsletter, Thursday, April 5th, 2018
Here's a few articles I've found useful and interesting this week, with my short commentary:
7 Easy Tax-Saving Tips For Small Business Owners
1 & 2) Get software, i.e., waveapps.com is a free small-business tax software, and mint.com is free personal money tracking software.
3) Automate contributions into a retirement account first.
4 & 5) Deduct mileage and home office expenses, when appropriate.
6) Employ family, e.g., fund your child's Roth IRA early due to them having earned income through your business.
7) Carryover tax deductions to the next year vs letting them slip through the cracks.
Work from Home? Tax Reform Changes to the Home Office Deduction
"The good news is that if you're self-employed or run a business from home, tax reform didn't change your ability to deduct home office expenses against your business income."
3 Tricks to Living Well While Spending Less
In a nutshell:
1) Save half of your raise/income increases.
2) Keep housing cost to a quarter of your gross income.
3) Splurge on experiences vs material purchases.
Bonus article:
Elon Musk Wants to Blanket the World With the Best Satellite Internet Service Ever. The FCC Just Said Yes
Free internet? 4,425 satellites? Maybe, maybe not, but still pretty enticing to think about not having to deal with Charter/Comcast cable.

I Can't Play Skittles
Boyd's Jig and Reel opened this week in the Old City (although I think the official grand opening is in late September). It's a neat "musical" pub with instruments hanging on the wall that anyone is welcome to check out and play. There's also sheet music in a little hanging wooden file that you can use if you don't know what exactly you want to play. I'll definitely be back for some Scotch and a jam session.
There are also lots of tabletop pub games everywhere, including Shoot the Moon and Skittles, which just adds to the fun of hanging out in groups. I was decent at Shoot the Moon, but I realized quickly that I'm a terrible Skittles player. I couldn't even the spin the top out of the first chamber!

Elephant Stone making dance music?
It's true—there are people dancing right there in the video. And this follows in the footsteps of "The Devil's Shelter," which we suggested contains "more than a hint of Chemical Brothers beats." Looks like they might've made an entire album in this vein, which we wouldn't mind one bit.
Their Ship of Fools LP is due out soon.

I Want To Be Your?
What's up Chuck!
How have you been doing? My girl has told me a lot about your blog and man I am glad she did! You give a guys perspective about life and I really appreciate that. Funny though because I know she is going to read this blog and I know after she finds out she will probably kill me. Lol. But anyway, man I have been kind of dating my girl for over 3 years and to a man, I must say that I love her. Here in Michigan, the women are money hungry, but I was blessed with a southern girl, that can cook better than my Mom, clean a house better than myself and has a good heart. Everyday, she wakes me up in the morning with a call or a text just to tell me she loves me and when I am feeling low she always says something to make my day. She is every mans dream a freak in the sheets and a lady in the outside world. Man I can't find a woman here that even comes close to my baby and that is why I am thinking about moving down south to be with my girl. I really feel like I want to be her husband, her man. Moving away from my home town is kind of scary, some of my kin folks and friends are trying to talk me out of it. I have a lot to loose and plenty to gain and I really need an outside opinion. Question, do you think I am making the right choice or am I moving to fast?
Adam B.
Adam, I was always told by my mother or father to always follow my heart and when it comes to love, that is has no bounds. In other words if you really love her and she feels the same take a chance !Why ? Because you only live once and you may never get that chance again. After all she might be exactly what you have been looking for and there are a lot of people in the world that date , then marry or get into relationships with the wrong people. You might as well take a chance, on one what could be a sure thing or the right one. Its my strongest opinion that when two people really love each other and feel that they belong together that they should do what ever it takes to be together for as long as they both shall live. Always remember this, you can live almost anywhere in the world, own many material things, but true love is precious or rare and very hard to find when you find it never let go. Good luck to you Adam and I pray that your relationship is everything that you dreamed or hoped for. Last but not least tell your woman how you really feel and never skip a moment to tell her how special she really is to you. Tell her that you want to be her friend, lover, man and husband forever. Its easy as saying I Want To Be Your? Write me and tell me how things are working out.

So I recently watched the movie Bad Moms. I know I'm a little late to the game, and that there was some "Mom controversy" over whether it was over-dramatized, but I thought it was freaking hysterical. Maybe it's because I'm not a mom, or because I like understand that it was a movie and made to be funnier than real life; but I died.
The only thing I can actually relate to is when you want to put effort into something (or look like you're putting effort in) and you don't have the time. Homemade desserts are like an automatic A. You always get the "Oh my God you made these!?" reaction, and you can't lie, it feels good.
So, I legit have the easiest recipe for you. It's three ingredients, you can't mess it up because it's literally all chocolate, and will take about 5 minutes to make. I cut these into super small squares and store them in my freezer for "a little something sweet" after dinner, but you can also create your own Cocoa Crunch Bars like I did in the photos. And for a tad healthier version, try using really dark or raw chocolate. 🙂
- 2 teaspoons of coconut oil
- 1 1/2 cups of dark chocolate chips (or vegan chocolate chips)
- 3/4 cup of chocolate brown rice cereal (or plain brown rice cereal)
- Using a double boiler, melt the coconut oil and chocolate together.
- Add in the brown rice cereal and stir until combined.
- Line an 8in square pan with parchment paper and pour the mixture in.
- Use a spatula to even out the mixture.
- Freeze for 15 minutes.
- Allow to rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before cutting into bars.
- This recipe makes 9 bars as shown, or 18 squares.

January is over, and I must say I feel like I kicked off 2018 with a bang.
I'm hoping I continue this into February, a month that's always given me a hard time over the years, but before I jump forward, it's time to look back.
- Try at least one new thing a week.
- I'm pretty excited about this one! This month, I learned how to use a sewing machine, finished crocheting an afghan, baked a cake from scratch, learned how to find my way from my small town to San Antonio, Texas, and started gardening. I learned way more than I thought I would, and it's been an amazing experience.
- Start a writer's Group.
- This one was technically accomplished, even if group attendance has an abysmal. The next meeting will take place on Saturday, so I'm crossing my fingers that people show up!
- Host a giveaway.
- This one wraps up today, and I hosted it over on Twitter. There's still some time if you'd like to jump on board.
- Do a January writing challenge.
- This kind of ties in with the next one, but when I'm working on a novel, I tend to ignore challenges. Because I started two big projects this month, doing a challenge didn't seem as important as starting to write my next book. Not a great way to handle challenges, but I'm glad I got my next novel started.
- Complete an Instagram or Twitter Challenge.
- I'm not sure why I'm having such a hard time with these. I really enjoy them, however I push them to the back burner whenever another project pops up.
- Limit my social media time to an hour a day.
- My online life goes one of two ways. Stay on it all day every day, or avoid it completely for days. The first one isn't good for me, and the second isn't good for my writer's platform. I need to be more consistent and focus on the quality of what I'm posting, not the quantity.
- Write and read for one hour a day.
- While I accomplished this about half of the month, I still didn't consistently write and read every single day. I have faith that my February will be better though.
- Sent more queries for "Flightless" and got a full manuscript request.
- After a handful of rejection letters in early December, I took a break for three weeks before I started submitting again. On my third email, I got a full manuscript request about an hour after I sent the query, and it really renewed my faith in my writing.
- Found books to cover my "2018 Reading Challenge"
- Reading challenges are completely different for me than online challenges. I started a writing list on Instagram, and my stack is piling up. I'm going to have a blast knocking out all these books.

The sale of the US Bank Tower Downtown by MPG Office Trust to Beringia Central LLC, a wholly owned US subsidiary of Singapore-based Overseas Union Enterprise Limited, on which GlobeSt.com reported earlier this week, is being seen by CRE office executives as a plus for the area and the office market in general. Several industry insiders tell GlobeSt.com that the trade, which is set to close June 28, is a positive step if only because it diversifies the number of owners in the L.A. office playing field. The new owner, for which the tower is its first US investment, is pleased with the way the US commercial real estate market is looking and sees interesting opportunity in the US market relative to Asia. Downtown L.A. is a market of particular interest to this group. "We're very optimistic about Downtown," Richard Stockton, the locally based president and CEO for OUE for the Americas, tells GlobeSt.com. "We like what we see in terms of the revitalization of the area. We like what's happening in the entertainment district. We'd like to see more residential units being built and occupied. Downtown Los Angeles is going through a bit of a Renaissance, attracting more employers to the area. We hope to be part of that and continue to drive it in the right direction."
With $7.5 billion in assets, OUE can clearly bring financial strength to the building, the tallest one west of the Missisippi, which is roughly 40% vacant currently. "Our strategy is clearly a value-added strategy," says Stockton. "We don't buy dry assets or core low-yielding assets. The US Bank Tower gives us the opportunity to entice tenants to the building by perhaps doing some upgrades."
Stockton says OUE would like to work with tenants on their needs and generate returns that way. "We'll take over with our current strategy of approaching blue-chip tenants across various employment sectors and getting them interested in the building. We're better able to partner with our tenants and invest capital in the space than our competitors, which may differentiate ourselves from them."
Industry executives outside of the deal are also enthused by the trade. Michael Zietsman,managing director of capital markets for Jones Lang LaSalle, tells GlobeSt.com that the trade is "a great thing for our market. There haven't been very many high-quality office buildings that have come on the market in the last couple of years. The fact that an asset the quality of the US Bank Tower is generating interest that's not just domestic but offshore is pretty deep. There's been big interest [in our market] from Asia, Europe, Canada and the Middle East. There's a lot of capital chasing real estate."
Zeitsman adds that the trade is "a little boost for Downtown. It's a good thing to have an international investor buying into one of our core office buildings. They obviously see the opportunity to create a lot of value."
Hans Mumper, managing director, Greater Los Angeles for Colliers International, tells GlobeSt.com that the sale is significant on a couple of fronts. "Having Singapore money come in and take down one of the iconic towers is great. I also think it being one of the MPG Office Trust portfolio buildings is also significant because we'll have more diverse ownership Downtown, which will allow more deals to happen. With the financial issues MPG was going through, lease deals weren't being done as smoothly as they could. Now, a greater velocity of transactions is going to start occurring." He adds that the trade may spawn interest from companies outside of Downtown L.A. to move into the submarket.
Nico Vilgiate, Colliers International's recently appointed EVP in its Downtown L.A. office, tells GlobeSt.com, "What's most significant is that it's a fresh new owner to Downtown L.A. and adds some ownership diversity in terms of potentially creating a more competitive environment for tenants to lease up properties to tenants looking for space Downtown."
Vilgiate has had previous experience subleasing space in the tower back in the '90s. "Tenants showed a lot of interest due to the trophy-asset addresses as well as the location in the heart of Downtown.
The tower is also iconic for being an "establishment-shot" building for Los Angeles used in several contemporary Hollywood movies.

John, Bipasha to do an item number
Though the couple refuses to comment on their relationship, actress Bipasha Basu says they'll be doing a a sizzling item song in Anurag Kashyap's No Smoking.india Updated: Aug 06, 2007 18:33 IST
The much-in-the-news Bipasha-John pair is very much together. Though the duo refuses to comment on their relationship, Bipasha Basu confirmed they have come together for a sizzling item song in Anurag Kashyap's No Smoking.
"I don't think I want to talk about my personal life any more. What's happening there is for me to know. But, yes, John and I have come together professionally again after Goal, this time with an item song in Anurag Kashyap's No Smoking," Bipasha told IANS.
But it wasn't the presence of John Abraham that impelled Bipasha to accept the song.
"Certainly not! It was Vishal Bharadwaj, the man who gave me two of my best item numbers - Beedi and Namak in Omkara. He told me about the item song in No Smoking at the IIFA (International Indian Film Academy awards) in Yorkshire. After what the Omkara numbers did to my stage presence, I promptly said yes to Vishal."
What about the danger of being branded an item girl?
"When have I cared about my image?" Bipasha shrugged. "And besides I've full faith in the intelligence of the film industry, also my audiences. By now they know what I'm capable of, and it's not just items."
Bipasha is now looking forward to shaking a leg with John for No Smoking.
"Though we've done songs before, John and I have never done this kind of sizzling number before. Vishal has pulled out all stops in the composition."
Bipasha is sure the number will be a rage.
"John and I will have fun dancing to it. I love the tune. Hopefully, it'll be another number to bring the house down at my stage concerts."
The duo will be seen together after a long time in Vivek Agnihotri's Goal.

This is actually pretty crazy.
Kobe Bryant is one of the greatest basketball players to ever step onto the court, yet he claims that the game invented by James Naismith isn't even his number one sport.
The official FIFA website caught up with Bryant in Brazil before yesterday's World Cup fixture between Germany and Portugal, and the five-time NBA champion revealed to the site that soccer was actually his favorite sport.
"I am actually [a huge soccer fan]. I grew up in Italy. From the age from six to 14 I played soccer every day," Bryant said. "It is actually my favourite sport."
We all know how much Bryant loves basketball – the amount of blood, sweat and tears he's put in to have success in the sport proves this – yet soccer was his first love and will seemingly always have the edge.

What is the Average Cost of Cutting Down a Tree? Average Cutting Down a Tree Price
In this age of global warming, where deforestation has become a serious threat, cutting down trees has become somewhat more difficult in some cases. Hence, before cutting down a particular tree, lots of licenses and permission must often be procured from the Forest Department of the jurisdiction of your particular state. Basically the average cost of cutting down a tree of the average height of 20 feet is about $150 - $175; where in about 75-80% of the cost needs to be reimbursed to the Forest Department so that they bear the cost of planting new trees.

Holes in a tank's floor and roof likely helped cause a January chemical spill that contaminated West Virginia's biggest drinking water supply for days, federal investigators said.
In a report released Wednesday, the Chemical Safety Board (CSB) also found the leaky Freedom Industries tank wasn't the only shoddy one.
Tanks Coming Down at Chemical Spill Site
Freedom Fined for WV Chemical Spill
WV Tank Farm Woes Continue
WV Tank Farm Coming Down
The Jan. 9 spill of a coal-cleaning agent prompted water-use restrictions for West Virginia American Water customers in nine counties. Over 300,000 residents ended up affected by the spill.
State officials discovered thousands of gallons of 4-methylcyclohexane methanol (MCHM) and other chemicals leaking Jan. 9 from a tank at Freedom's Etowah River Terminal. Some 10,000 gallons seeped under and through visible holes in the concrete wall meant to serve as an emergency barrier in the event of a leak or spill and ended up in the Elk River.
In the CSB report, another Freedom tank that held the same spilled chemical had a similar hole in its floor. The board detailed three crude MCHM tanks with pitting, holes or other damage.
"The holes that we found in the … main tank wasn't the only hole," CSB investigator Johnnie Banks said. "So we're going to continue our investigation along those lines. We've gathered some samples of metals and other materials to place those under closer scrutiny and make a determination on the possible failure mode for the tanks."
The board said corrosion from water pooling inside the leaky tank likely caused the holes. The substances traveled through soil, gravel and water systems under the Freedom site before hitting the Elk River.
In a few other spots, the water started corroding away the tank's floor, but didn't penetrate it.
The same tank had holes in its roof, which likely let corrosion-inducing water enter the tank, the board said.
The board couldn't find records of tank inspections before the January spill. It is unclear how often or rigorously inspections occurred.
Banks said several months after the leak, inspectors went inside the tanks, which officials emptied of all materials, and they found where corrosion was most prevalent.
An inspection done in late 2013 as part of the terminal's sale to Freedom Industries "didn't require the emptying of the tank, which is really the key difference and significance between the earlier inspection and the later ones," Banks said.
Officials say the Freedom tanks fell into a regulatory gray area. West Virginia lawmakers responded by instituting a slew of new registration and inspection requirements for aboveground storage tanks, like those at Freedom.
The January spill in Charleston let coal-cleaning chemicals seep into the river and eventually enter the West Virginia American Water's intake 1.5 miles downstream.
Officials deemed tap water unsafe for 300,000 people for four to 10 days, except for fighting fires and flushing toilets.
Chemical investigators arrived at Freedom less than two days after the spill.
The board plans to study several other areas, including: A metallurgical examination; computer model of the spill; consideration of public health impacts; aboveground tank regulations; the tank's location upstream from the water intake; evaluation of water plant intake systems; and emergency planning and notification.

Baptize Babies or 'Dry Baptism'? Neither./
Psalm 127 tells us that children are a gift from the Lord. A child is not our own but on loan from God. God instructed the Hebrews to train up their children and teach them to love God with all their heart, soul, and might (Deuteronomy 6:4-15). Through the Apostle Paul, God commands fathers to bring up their children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4). Clearly, God expects his people to disciple the kids he blesses us with in the way of the Lord.
In churches that don't baptize infants, a baby dedication serves as a moment in a Christian worship service when the parents stand before the congregation and publically commit to obeying God and raising up their children to know and love God.
Some Christians have read the Bible and conclude that a New Testament baby dedication is done by baptizing the infant. They correctly argue that circumcision was an Old Testament covenant sign that a child was born into God's covenant people. But from that idea, they suggest that baptism replaces circumcision and is a sign of entry into God's family. This logical argument makes sense in light of the Old Testament, but it's not an argument made by the New Testament.
First, John says entry into God's family as a child of God is made possible through faith in Jesus, not the covenant marked by circumcision. Jesus fulfilled that covenant so now all who receive Jesus, who believe in his name, he gives the right to become children of God (John 1:12). But what does it take to be identified as part of the local church? If the Bible commands that we submit to our spiritual leaders and be a part of church discipline, how do we know who is a part of that covenant community? I'll come back to this in a moment.
Next, New Testament baptism is continually referred to as a baptism of repentance, not a baptism of acceptance or a baptism of covenant. Peter discusses the wicked world and the flood in Noah's time. The eight righteous people on earth were brought safely through the water by trusting in the Lord. Jesus suffered once for sin so--like the ark brought people safely through the flood--Jesus can bring us safely to God. Peter says baptism corresponds to this as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ (1 Peter 3:18-22).
Finally, there was a great debate about circumcision in the First Century. Some argued that Gentiles had to be circumcised before they could enter the local church and call themselves Christians. In fact, this was the topic of the very first Church Council (Acts 15). That council, led by the Apostles, determined that circumcision was not a necessary act of Christianity and therefore not a necessary sign of entry into God's New Testament covenant community. The covenant is through Jesus, not the Law because Jesus fulfilled the Law in the New Covenant. Through the entire discussion about circumcision and the arguments that played out in Paul's letters, there's not a mention of baptism replacing circumcision.
Paul discusses a theology of circumcision in Romans 2:25-29. He says, "For circumcision indeed is of value if you obey the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision" (Romans 2:25). He goes on to argue that the New Covenant is not one of outward signs, but a matter of the heart. It is by the Spirit, not by the letter. In many ways, we might think of circumcision like we think of temples. They were very necessary in the Old Covenant, but in the New Covenant of Jesus Christ, the perfect fulfillment of the Law through Jesus means they are finished. Circumcision was replaced by Jesus, not baptism.
But how do we know who is in the faith community if it's not by circumcision?
The good news is we don't have to do a check to see which dudes are in and which aren't. That was only physical anyway. In Acts, when the Church was instituted, we see people added to their number (Acts 2:37-41). How were they added? Through circumcision? No. Acts 2:41 says, "So those who received his word were baptized and there were added that day about three thousands souls." Peter preached the gospel of Jesus Christ. Those who received Jesus, believed Jesus is who he says he is, and repented (turning from their sinful way to follow Jesus' way). It says they were also baptized, which is the outward sign of the condition of the heart. It's a profession of their belief and the first step in following Jesus.
God's covenant with the Jewish people was (and is) about a physical people through the letter of the Law. God's covenant with his regenerate children is through Jesus Christ who fulfilled the Law. Jesus' Church is not about physical presence or outward signs (which is why there are many who sit in the pews Sunday after Sunday but are still not a part of the Church). It's about belief and repentance. Therefore, the old need not be replaced because it has been fulfilled.
So if the baby dedication is not a "dry baptism" as it has been called from time to time, why do it? If we're not going to baptize babies, what's the point?
The baby dedication is not about bringing unbelieving infants into an organization; it is about that infant's parents proclaiming to the faith-family that they commit to training up the child in the knowledge and love for God so that when the child is able and ready, there is ample opportunity for God to regenerate that child, causing him or her to profess belief, repent, and even be baptized. By standing in front of the congregation, the parents are asking the faith-family to hold them accountable to this monumental task. The baby dedication is not about the baby, it's about the parents.

Was it Leavened or Unleavened?
|Questions are occasionally asked about the type of bread that Jesus used as an emblem of His body in the Passover. Was it leavened or unleavened? How people answer this question determines which type of bread is used for the Passover or as some groups prefer—the Lord's Supper.
Confusion about "which type of bread?" can occur because of the all-encompassing nature of the Greek word used for "bread" in the New Testament. The Greek artos is unlike Hebrew, which has a specific term for unleavened bread, matzah. Hence the festival known as Hag Hamatsos.
Artos is the word used for bread of any description. By way of example, we see that manna is referred to as artos (John 6:31), as was the "showbread" in the tabernacle (Hebrews 9:2), specified in Leviticus 24:5. Yet these were unleavened loaves. When Christ performed a miracle to feed 4,000 people with seven loaves and a few fish (Matthew 15:32-37), the word used for loaves was artos, in this case probably leavened bread. Christ described Himself as the artos of life (John 6:48-51). And the bread taken at the Passover by Christ is also calledartos (Matthew 26:26, Mark 14:22, Luke 22:19, John 13:18).
Not only could artos be used for bread, it could also be used metaphorically for food in general. For example, when Christ prayed that God would give us our daily bread or artos(Matthew 6:11), He was referring to the food we need each day for our physical sustenance—not just to bread.
In contrast, the term azumos, used some nine times in the New Testament, is not ambiguous. It means "without leaven." As a result, some conclude that the use of the wordartos by itself without any qualification for the Passover bread means that leavened bread was used. But this is not the case.
Although azumos means "without leaven," it is not used specifically to describe bread—it is used as the name of the festival itself. What we translate as the Feast of Unleavened Bread from the Hebrew would simply be "the Feast of Unleavened" when translated from the Greek. The term "bread" has been added in English-language Bibles (e.g. Matthew 26:17). Only once is the word azumos used to describe the state of being unleavened (1 Corinthians 5:7), and even there it is not related to bread, but to our spiritual state. And in the next verse we are told to celebrate the Feast with the azumos of sincerity and truth.
So the fact that artos is used for the Passover bread instead of azumos does not mean that the bread was leavened. Artos was used to describe bread of any description—azumos was not used to describe bread at all.
So how do we know whether the bread Jesus used as an emblem of His body in the Passover was leavened or unleavened? We simply need to understand that the all-encompassing Greek term artos has to be interpreted by its context.In this case, we need to remember that the New Testament was written principally to a Jewish audience. How would they have associated the use of the term artos with Passover? They would have seen it as unleavened artos because that was the type of bread used for the Passover (Exodus 12:1-8). Any problem we may have about what type of bread was used stems from our distance from those times and culture. Matthew 26:17 and Luke 22:7 record that the First of Unleavened Bread had come. As the Passover required matzah, then that unleavened bread was being prepared that day for that event. So the use of the term "bread" (artos) for the bread used in relation to the New Testament Passover bread should be understood in that context.

Why was it conflated into the Passover celebration?
At some point in time, the events of the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread came to be called by a common name and literally merged into one event of eight days. It is normally considered that the conflation of the two events, outlined in Exodus 12 and Leviticus 23 came about as a result of the Rabbis, as suggested by R. Joshua Maroof in his blog Vesom Sechel. R. George Wolf, whom I quoted last week, takes a more specific view. In addressing this issue he opines:
Who was responsible for this new name and the creation of a new Pesach liturgy of Haggadah for the new Pesach festival? It was Rabban Gamaliel II of Yavne, (80-115 C.E.), the Nasi, who wished to preserve the unity of the Jewish people and halt the inroads of Pauline Christianity. In order to replace the centralized sacrificial cult, he supervised the creation of a non-sacrificial prayer service. The Pesach liturgy or Haggadah, served as a replacement for the sacrifice of the Paschal lamb and was also a defense of Judaism against the Pauline interpretation of the Pesach festival.
The redaction of a Haggadah for the new Pesach home festival provided Jews with an official and authentic interpretation and expression of this festival's ceremonies and theology transmitted by tradition from Moses and the Prophets to the Pharisaic Rabbis.
It demonstrated to Jews that the destruction of the Temple was only a temporary situation and didn't reflect a change in God's relationship with the Jewish people, namely that God's old covenant or promise to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, was still in force and was not abrogated by the new covenant.
The new name Pesach was chosen because it meant protection, to emphasize to Jews that they were still under God's protection, as they were during their sojourn in Egyptian bondage.[1]
In taking such a view of the change Wolf highlights a major issue. Certainly Paul commanded the Corinthian church to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread (1 Corinthians 5:6-8), so where does the idea of Paul being anti-Torah and not requiring gentiles to observe Jewish dietary and festival obligations come from?
If Wolf is correct in his interpretation, 'Pauline' theology at the end of the century was a very different theology from what is considered Pauline theology today! It would then present a situation in which those churches established by Paul—who died in the early 60's some 24 -30 years prior to the events Wolf addresses—would have been indistinguishable from other groups who are commonly called Jewish Christians. Hence the commonly supposed opposition of Paul and James would have been a fiction as well. Wolf presents a uniform view of the first century followers as being Torah observant in a way that few Christian scholars today would be prepared to accept.

Was Jesus Christ really crucified on a Friday?
Today it is largely accepted without question that Jesus was crucified on a Friday. Most people accept this scenario as there was a Sabbath following and everyone knows that the Jews keep the Sabbath on Saturday. So ipso facto, the crucifixion had to be on Friday.
Making such an assumption shows how little is commonly understood about the world into which Jesus was born, lived and died. However, by putting the key events into context, we can discover more details from the Gospels.
Jesus was crucified on the 14th Nisan and died about 3:00 p.m. The next day, 15th Nisan, was an annual festival: the first day of the seven days of Unleavened Bread (Leviticus 23:6-7) which was associated with the Passover. So depending upon which day of the week the 15th fell, it was possible to have two Sabbaths during the week in which Jesus Christ was crucified. That possibility creates numerous scenarios for reconstructing the factors given in the gospels.
Rodney J. Decker, Professor of Greek and New Testament at the Baptist Bible College published a paper in which he examined this aspect of the crucifixion week. It is available on his blog and is well worth the read and consideration.
The upshot is that he also considers the impact of Jesus being in the tomb three days and three nights and offers a non-orthodox reading of the event. To be fair to his considerations of the resurrection, what was to prevent that event occurring at sunset on Saturday evening? That would have made a strict three days and three nights, as opposed to the three days and four nights that Decker suggests.
Next week is the time of the Jewish Passover, which represents the real time that Jesus was crucified, rather than the Easter weekend, which this year was almost a month removed from the event according to the Hebrew calendar.

Rabbinic changes to the Passover to distance it from the early Church
In a short work on the Passover, Rabbi George Wolf examines some of the changes that he considers the early Rabbis introduced to the Passover in response to the observance by the early church. Scholars have long studied the New Testament without a serious consideration of other literature that impinges on its understanding. Fortunately that has begun to change in the last half century.
The action of Jesus Christ with his disciples the night of his betrayal has most often been seen as a point of disjuncture with the established practices of Judaism of that day. This reaches its apex with the apostle Paul who speaks of the "Lord's Supper," which most exegetes wish to see as the proto-eucharist and the start of a Christian festival cycle independent of the Jewish Holy Days.
Wolf, like some Jewish scholars sees it differently. He sees both Jesus and Paul keeping the Passover in such a manner that it prompted the Rabbis of the second and third centuries to bring changes to the Jewish practice to distance the Jews from the emerging church.
As an example, Wolf examines the use of haroset in the Seder meal, which he sees as being a red accompaniment to the meal possibly originally derived from pomegranates. Haroset is nowhere mentioned in the Biblical record but its place in the Seder dates back to the time of the destruction of the second temple in C.E. 70 when it was introduced to represent the blood of passover lamb that could no longer be killed at the temple.
Initial references to this are recorded by R. Eleazar Ben Zadok, a pupil of Gamaliel II (80-115 C.E.). By the time the Mishnah was codified over a century later, Ben Zadok's opinion on haroset had become simply a footnote to the then-accepted use of haroset to represent the clay of Egypt used by the ancient Israelites in brick-making. Wolf sees this change in understanding—from blood, which was part of the Biblical command, to clay, which was a Rabbinic command not included in Scripture—as being an attempt by the Rabbis to distance the Jewish event from that outlined in the New Testament where blood was represented by wine.
Paul's references to Jesus Christ as "our Passover" (1 Corinthians 5:7) and the cup of blessing representing the blood of the covenant (1 Corinthians 10:16, 11:25) are instructive to Wolf in his considerations. The end result is that the Jewish Passover meal has no references to the blood of the lamb or the blood daubed on the lintels and threshold of a home.
Wolf's book is entitled: Lexical and Historical Contributions on the Biblical and Rabbinic Passover, (New York: G. Wolf, 1991).

I thought the following would be of interest. Reviewing some video files, I came across a timeless interview piece with Professor James Strange in Israel, addressing some of my questions about his work at Sepphoris and the city's proximity to Jesus' home in Nazareth. He also explains his view of the relationship between archeology and the Bible.

Sometimes dangerous road conditions can cause or contribute to accidents that result in serious injuries or even wrongful death. Since 1971, people injured in motor vehicle accidents in Schuylkill County and throughout Pennsylvania's Coal Region have turned to Lieberman, Tamulonis & Hobbs for help getting the justice and compensation they deserve.
For more than 40 years, LTH Law has handled injury cases that took place on notoriously dangerous local roadways, such as Route 61, The Frackville Grade, Route 209 and Route 924. We are familiar with the hazards posed by these and other local roads, and we know the necessary steps to take to uncover the true cause of your accident. Contact us to schedule a consultation for your personal injury case.
What Makes A Roadway Dangerous?
Dangerous road hazards most often stem from faulty design, construction, maintenance or failure by the government to make road changes to adapt to new conditions. Common unsafe road conditions include:
- Roadways designed with poor visibility near intersection and curves
- Lack of guardrails or other safety equipment along road drop-offs
- Improper or missing signage warning of road hazards like dangerous curves
- Failure to repair potholes
- Unsafe road construction zones
Who Is Responsible For An Accident On A Dangerous Roadway?
Public entities that build and maintain roads have an obligation to repair or correct road hazards that create an unreasonable and foreseeable risk of harm. When dangerous roads contribute to or cause car accidents, the government authorities responsible for those roads may be liable for the resulting injuries, if they knew (or should have known) of the unsafe road conditions that caused the accident.
Of course, if another motorist's negligence caused your accident, you may also have a legal claim against him or her.
