The hinges were mounted and so were the latches for keeping the box closed.
Finally I chiseled MMXVIII in the underside of the box marking the completion of the project.
After taking some pictures, I handed the box over to my friend, and he said that he would send me some pictures with the revolver and the ammunition loaded in the box. But off course this will only be after we sign off.
Thoughts about the build:
I like making small box like projects, and this one had a nice manageable size. It ended up being 8" x 16" x 3".
There isn't much wood in a project like this, and the size of the parts make it fairly easy to process out here.
At first I was a bit skeptical to the dovetail lay out, I was afraid that it might look weird. But I am glad that I went along with it, because I actually think that it looks fine. And I especially like the way I managed to split the lid and the base so that after trimming, the divided pin that is very close to the other pins in size.
My experimental finishing is probably the biggest success in this build. The surface feels very smooth, but it is not super shiny. And I really like the look of it.
Mounting the felt lining was a bit harder compared to other projects I have done, due to the partitions in the base of the box. Cutting the holes for the ammunition block felt luckily went as planned, though it took quite some time to carefully nibble away with a really sharp knife.
The latches worked and looked better than I had expected. They are not cast, but made out of some thin stamped brass that has been given a surface treatment to look old. Originally thought that they looked kind of flimsy, but I am glad that I chose those since I think they look very fitting.
I haven't timed the build, but an estimate is that I have roughly 25 hours in it. It isn't a very fast build, but the stock preparation takes a lot of time when you have to do the resawing by hand.
All in all I think this is one of my better builds, and I am even a bit envious that I can't bring the box home with me. I guess that is a fine indication that the project hasn't been a complete disaster.

A first-person shooter movie, a one-of-a-kind calculator that's both kinky and eye-opening, and the beauty that is Kate Upton—all that and loads more in this week's dose of man knowledge!
Read on and be up to speed on man-tastic things, gents!
Hardcore, the first-ever POV action movie, looks, well, pretty damn hardcore. Imagine a hyper-realistic trailer of your favorite shooter games, complete with loads of gore, seemingly endless ammo, and weapon-stealing. If you want your movies bloody, you better check this out!
If you ever find yourself in North Korea (pretty unlikely, but who knows, right?), you shouldn't miss a chance to ride the country's waves. Yep, surfing in North Korea looks pretty rad, and the Good Leader has capitalized on it by allowing an eight-day surfing safari across the country. How's that for an adventure of a lifetime?

Ariana Grande showcased her glorious voice on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, belting out goosebump-inducing renditions of "Mary Had A Little Lamb" a la Britney Spears and "The Wheels On The Bus" Christina Aguilera style. Say what you want about her, but you can't deny that she's got some amazing vocal chops.
In case you've forgotten, Robin Padilla has pulled out of MMFF candidate Nilalang, which also stars our June 2015 Cover Girl Maria Ozawa. But don't fear—the film's still in the works! Robin, however, has been replaced by Cesar Montano, who'll hopefully finish filming until the very end.
Real talk: How many chicks have you done it with? One? Three? Seven? Ten? Thirty? This calculator tells you how many people you've indirectly had sexual contact with—and it's a lot more than your real number. Practice safe sex, everyone.
In this age of instant everything, we sometimes forget the raw materials and the labor that come with making every single little thing we take for granted. Watch this dude's video to see just how much collective effort it takes to make one single chicken sandwich from scratch!
Gentlemen, whatever you do, don't mess with your girlfriends or wives: They can go from "girl of your dreams" to "bitch from my nightmares" real quick. Just like this 22-year-old lady, who burned her boyfriend's penis with a hair straightener after finding out that he cheated on her with his ex. "To start off with, it looked brown around the outside and it didn't look too bad, it just looked as if you had cooked a piece of meat," the lady told the police. Uhm, yeah.

Speaking of a man's nether regions, if you're unlucky, you can get scrotal lymphedema, which can make your testicles swell to watermelon-sized proportions. Gives a whole new meaning to "you've got big balls," eh?

Hafthor Bjornsson, a.k.a. "The Mountain" from Game of Thrones, may be one of the strongest dudes in real life, but he was no match at all for pro arm wrestler Devon Larratt, who's significantly smaller and lighter. Looks can be deceiving, gents.
There's still hope for all you left-swiping dudes out there dreaming of their Tinderellas! "I was killing time swiping while traveling for work in a city (Chicago) 700 miles from where I live," wrote Reddit user Lagger. "Just out of curiosity/boredom I messaged a girl about one of her travel photos. Subsequently I told her I would take her to China if she took me to New Zealand. She agreed. We have been flying to see each other each weekend for the past 6 months and landed in Beijing yesterday. We're booked for New Zealand in February. She hasn't tried to murder me yet and still has not revealed any signs of being a bot. I honesty have not been happier." #MayForever

When we were kids, we learned all about Homo Erectus and Homo Sapiens. Now we have a new kind of Homo to remember: Homo Naledi. Recently discovered in Africa, it features a mix of primitive and human-like features, with little differences between males and females. Welcome to the 21st century, Homo Naledi!

A true man knows that it's not good sex if your woman doesn't come. The problem? Your girl's tendency to feel stressed in bed. Lesson of the story: make her feel good, guys, and make sure she believes it.

Hyundai recently came out with the N 2025 Gran Turismo, an eco-friendly supercar that truly deserves being named after the iconic video game. "Already undergoing a punishing testing, engineering and development regime, the new car is building up to its final rally-specification ahead of its debut at the start of the 2016 FIA World Rally Championship at Rallye Monte Carlo." Excuse our drool.

Say what you want about Kate Upton, but she's still our girl. Just look at her latest Instagram photos—she obviously hasn't lost an ounce of hotness.
And just to prove that our love for Kate really knows no bounds, here's another sizzling hot video of her, this time for Sports Illustrated. You're welcome, gentlemen.

As writers we are always looking for the romantic lost heir or the kindly noble who adopts a child to inherit his title, but rules of inheritance both of titles and entails are quite strict.
Titles pass through the eldest son and if the family is unlucky and begets only daughters, the title will return to the crown, known as going into abeyance. As always there are exception to the rule, you only have to look at the Churchills to find one.
There was no such thing as adoption during the regency. A child could become a ward of court, or of a relative, but only the male of the blood line could inherit a man's title and entailed land. Money and items not deemed part of the entail could be left to anyone of course.
This is true for illegitimate children also. If the mother was not married to the father at the time of the birth, then the child cannot inherit. The obverse was true. No matter who sired the child, if the man was married to the woman at the time of the birth, and if it was a son, then the child would inherit. This is of course why men could be cavalier about their affairs, and their wives were held to a much higher standard of behavior at least until they had their heir and their spare.
There are of course some interesting examples of this latter scenario. Jane Elizabeth Harley, Countess of Oxford, pictured here by Hoppner, provided her husband five children who were mostly half-siblings, and resentfully acknowledged by the scandalous lady's husband. Byron was one of her lovers for a brief time, though there is no indication that he sired any of her children.
The case of the Earl of Berkley is also fascinating. On his death, his former mistress who gave him four sons, who later married him and gave him another son, tried to have her older sons made heir by saying she and the earl had entered into a "secret" marriage. The Prince of Wales had the whole affair investigated and in the end it was the youngest son who inherited. A bit sad for the older boys, I think. And rather ironic when you remember Prinny's own secret marriage.
If they had been in Scotland it might have been another story for in that jurisdiction, provided the couple were not previously married to others when the children were born, and subsequently married, the children could be claimed legitimate.
Until next time, Happy Rambles.

Dear Readers,
First and foremost, thank you for being here. I am not sure how you discovered this page, or how long you have been reading my words, but regardless, you have somehow stumbled upon this letter, and for that, I appreciate you.
When I first started this writing journey of mine, I had no idea what would come of it. The first time I hit "Post" was back in 2014 because a friend of mine encouraged me to share my thoughts; and boy, has it been an interesting three years since then. If you have been following me from that first post I made on Instagram, then you deserve an award, because you have been with me through some of my lowest moments, and lately, some of my highest. I decided to share my thoughts with the world because honestly, writing them down was the only way they would ever come out of me. I have never been any good at speaking up about what hurts, but writing, that was an entirely new way for me to escape. It wasn't long before people started following my journey, and to be honest, it saddened my heart to know that so many people were able to relate to my sadness. I had no intention of gaining "followers" in the process, but what I gained was so much more than that. I gained friends; people who may not know me on a daily basis, but understand me on a level that is harder to explain.
A lot has changed in my life since that year, and I am nowhere near the person I was a little over three years ago. In that time, I have lost friendships, I have been promoted, I have burnt bridges, I have moved cities, I created this website, I have been published, I had to bury the past, literally and figuratively. In that time, I attempted to end my life, and since then, I have spent my time trying to understand why. I have only just begun to understand who I am, and even though there are large parts of me that have been damaged, I am learning that it is possible to heal, no matter how broken you have once felt. Since I started my recovery in August of 2015, I have learned a lot about myself through the process of finally being honest about who that person is. I was always somewhat naïve about how I should feel regarding certain situations and I didn't truly learn how to cope with my emotions until I could remove the parts of me that were holding me back. If there is one thing I have learned throughout my recovery, it's that I am always going to make mistakes in this life, but I have always been capable of picking myself back up.
As my reader, I assume that you are just looking to heal as well because isn't that what we are all doing anyway? Trying to figure out what helps us the most in our greatest times of need? When it comes to my words, I don't claim to know anything special or think that I am better than anyone else; because I am not. I am simply just a girl who is trying to connect with anyone that has ever felt alone.
I don't know what I will be writing about in a year from now; hell, I don't even know what my blog post for next week is going to be. What's important is that you are here today, and it's because of that, that I am grateful. I often feel guilty for not saying that enough, or that I may not respond to messages as fast as I should, but please know, that I do hear you, and I am just doing the best that I can.
One of the things that I am always so shocked to read, is that the sender of the message didn't know if they should say anything or not. Please. If you have something you need to get off your chest, or need someone to confide in, do not hesitate to reach out to me. Know that there are people out there who will listen to your silent cries. Sometimes just typing out how you feel is enough to save you from a current darkness. It may not heal everything, but it's a start. We should never feel like we must stay silent about what is hurting us; it's often the secrets we keep that are hurting us the most – Set them free.
If you take anything away from this letter, I hope it's that you know you are so much more than just a 'reader' of mine. You are one of the reasons why I keep writing, why I keep sharing my truth, and why I never want to stay silent again, or feel that I must keep it all in. You are a human being who is searching for something, and my wish is that everyone can find at least one good thing to take away from my words, even if it's just the simple fact that YOU are NOT alone.
Thank you for being here. I appreciate you.
Megan Lawrence

Past Lives: Religion & Belief vs Evidence & Knowledge
Reincarnation, Buddhism, Hinduism & the Civil War in Sri Lanka
View Video with Past Life Research of Ian Stevenson, MD at University of Virginia: Evidence of Reincarnation
Despite Mutual Belief in Reincarnation, Religious Doctrine Separates Buddhists & Hindus
A civil war had been waged in Sri Lanka for twenty five years or so between the Buddhist majority and the Tamil Hindu minority, two groups that both believe in reincarnation.
In June 2009, I went on a tour of Indonesia, and of India, to promote the Indonesian & Indian versions of my book, Born Again, which features cases that demonstrate objective evidence of reincarnation. The Indonesian version of my book was published by a Buddhist organization and I spoke in front of 2500 followers of Buddhism. I then traveled to India to promote my books to a primarily Hindu population.
In this tour, I experienced why a war in Sri Lanka was possible between these two groups, the Buddhists and Tamil Hindus, who both believe in reincarnation.
Buddha, Buddhism and the Soul:
Based on Reincarnation Research, the Soul Must Exist
In Indonesia, the Buddhists asked me what the difference was between their concept of "rebirth," as opposed to the Hindu concept of "reincarnation." They asked me about Buddha's declaration that there is no soul. I explained that there must be some type of energetic structure such as the soul, as evidence of reincarnation shows that physical appearance, personality traits and talents can remain consistent from one lifetime to another, as described in Independently Researched Reincarnation Case Studies. If there is no structure such as the soul, where is such information stored in between and across incarnations? Energetic properties of the soul are discussed in the section: Principles of Reincarnation
Reincarnation, the Hindu Caste System & Gods
The Hindus in India asked me if people reincarnate as animals. In Chennai, I learned from a Hindu housewife that the caste system is still alive and well, in that her husband will not allow their servants to cook, as the couple is Brahmin, while the servants are not. Hindus have a tradition of worshiping various gods, while Buddhists do not.
I saw first hand that Buddhists and Hindus are very much separated by religious doctrine, in spite of a common belief in reincarnation. I also saw how these divisions melted away as I presented cases that demonstrate objective evidence of reincarnation.
Reincarnation Research shows Religion Can Change Across Lifetimes
Religions which believe in reincarnation, such as the Buddhists and Hindus, never mention that one can reincarnate in a different religion from one incarnation to another, yet that is what evidence of reincarnation demonstrates.
Religion, nationality and ethnic affiliation create the basis of our individual identities, but they also separate us, which makes conflict between groups and war possible. Each group believes that their God will protect them and as such, killing in the name of one's group is justified.
As noted, these divisions in identity dissolve away when one comes face to face with evidence of reincarnation, which conveys the principle that we are universal human beings that can change cultural markers of identity from one incarnation to another. In this way, evidence of reincarnation can help create a more peaceful world.
Evidence of reincarnation can help Sri Lanka become more tranquil, as Buddhists realize they can be born Hindu, and vice versa.

Some have starting points for the swimming channels in the open sea, while others have a range of sports or are of special interest for divers, and others have truly unique features, such as the opportunity to swim and sunbathe next to historic sites such as the two thousand year old Greek dock. A whole world of beaches to discover.

Now in its 7th year, our Factor IX Men's Retreat program is an outstanding success -- and the program is continually evolving. Each year, the Coalition for Hemophilia B sponsors spring and fall retreats for men age 21 and older living with hemophilia B. The retreat's main mission is to help the men of the Factor IX community through peer support and education. The older men mentor the younger men, and we now include fathers of children with hemophilia B.
The participants, who often call each other "blood brothers," enjoy the retreat as a time to gather and share with others who have encountered similar challenges. This program attracts all ages, but the older generation feels most comfortable at this retreat. There is always a waiting list!

Recently, I've been re-watching the new Doctor Who chronologically. In a previous post, I expressed my disdain for Amy Pond's non-character, and hinted at my nostalgia for the way the show used to be. This post is basically an appendage to that, with some thoughts on the companions individually and the show generally.
Unlike Amy Pond, Rose Tyler is many things, but, as The Doctor tells Satan in "The Satan Pit," she is not a victim. Victimization has been and remains today an important facet in understanding pseudo-empowered female characters. If the character, in an attempt to save herself and others, formulates her own ideas and successfully carries them out, she is probably not a victim. In "The Satan Pit," Rose thinks she and the Doctor might be separated forever (not an uncommon occurrence in the show). She is in the middle of a life-or-death crisis on a ship impossibly orbiting black hole, and neither she nor the crew know exactly what evil is among them. So what does she do? She doesn't let the crew or herself wallow in self-pity, instead forcing all of them to think their way out of the situation, using the bits of information given to her by the crew to solve the puzzle. She doesn't simply sit there and cry, wishing the Doctor were there to save them, and cursing him for not being there. She pulls herself up by her bootstraps, as the saying goes, and helps to save the universe.
Now, after reading this testament to Rose's capability and smarts, you might be under the impression that I really like and admire Rose. That's not exactly the case. Before Amy Pond, I really didn't like Rose. Basically hated her. I found her personality grating and her sorta-kinda relationship with the Doctor pretty annoying. I also disliked her possessiveness of the Doctor; she tends to act like she is entitled to be with the Doctor. (Boy, was I to learn what a person could be like when they're really possessive of the Doctor!) This time around, I was able to understand a few things about Rose. For one, she's only nineteen/twenty. Of course she falls in love with the Doctor and thinks being with him is more important than being with her family. I also never realized how capable and clever Rose is allowed to be. While she may be just an ordinary chav working in a shop, she does have a brain and tends not to panic. When Rose does wander off, it's usually to try to figure out something for herself. She clearly follows in the show's tradition of using your brains, not your brawn, in order to get out of sticky situations/save the universe.
And that, dear reader, is how I grew to appreciate Rose. The Doctor's next companion, Martha Jones, was a much easier character to love. Martha, a med student, is extremely intelligent, which impresses the Doctor when they first meet. Her intelligence and capability remain an important part of her character, even after she chooses to leave the Doctor. Less intelligent, but no less lovable, is Donna Noble. As I expressed in the previous post, Donna is funny, deeply empathetic, and twice as sassy as Amy Pond could ever be. All three of these women prove to be useful counterparts to the Doctor, and never allow themselves to be damsels in distress.
The show is sometimes accused of being sexist. I would perhaps call it heteronormative instead. It's a mainstream, family-oriented British TV show; what about that says radical? I don't think it promotes misogyny, but it obviously doesn't do much to challenge gender norms. In my ideal world, Doctor Who would have even stronger female characters, a more equal villain-to-gender ratio, break down the barriers of race, gender identity and sexuality. But that's my ideal; what's real is much easier for most people to digest. And what's real isn't bad, but could be so much better.

Are you a family member of someone taking psych meds, a prescriber of psych meds, or are you, yourself, taking psychotropic medication?
Are you interested in hearing real perspectives on people's experiences with psych meds?
Are you concerned about multiple side effects, the stigma around taking meds, access to services, navigating the system, or the challenges around coming off/starting psychotropic medication?
Despite shifts towards inclusiveness and partnership in mental health services development, meaningful open communication between professionals, service users and families within the mental health system remains a challenge.
This Mental Health Trialogue (MHT) is a monthly forum that brings together personal perspectives from providers, peers/survivors, family members and other interested parties to discuss issues and experiences with psychotropic medication, among other subjects. The goal of the forum is to foster rich discussion and to change the perception that only those who work in the field of mental health are the experts in mental health. This month's Trialogue will focus on self love and self care.
A message from one of our facilitators: Hello, my name is Angel Serrano and I work as a Peer Counselor for many years now and I am also an active member and participant of IDHA. I am so looking forward to opening the Trialogue discussion on the awesome theme that was chosen by the group for an interactive group discussion on "Self-love & Self-care" because this really hits home with me and was and still is an ongoing very important part of my life's journey, calling and purpose, which is essentially to truly love and care for myself. I will begin by sharing my understanding of a balanced Self-love and Holistic Self-care and all this entails for me and what I believe the difference is between having a healthy balanced Self-love and narcissism and then I will briefly share my journey from Self-hate and self-loathing and self-destructive behavior to Self-love and my healthy wellness practices of Self-care. Then the floor will be open for questions, comments and people's personal beliefs about and practices of "Self-love and Self-care" and how this impacts their lives, relationships, Jobs and their love and care for others. I wholeheartedly believe that this Trialogue discussion of "Self-love & Self-care" is a vitally important and much needed theme discussion that all can in some way identity with. I am looking forward to sharing my heart and also hearing and learning from the minds and hearts of others who will be at this Trialogue.
MHT's combination of expertise and experience provides a unique wealth of collective knowledge to which individuals or people from different perspectives would not otherwise be exposed.
Trialogue meetings are open to current or former mental health service users, families and friends, professional mental health workers, prescribers, as well as all community members with an interest in mental health.
All are encouraged to attend!
How It Works:
Three members from the Institute for the Development of Human Arts, a psychiatrist, a person with lived experience, and a family member, will open the forum by explaining the purpose of MHT, then launch into a "trialogue discussion" about experiences with psychotropic medication. We will then open the conversation to all in attendance to share their responses if desired and foster community. Snacks and refreshments will be provided.
MHT provides a supportive, non-judgemental space to share unique stories, find solidarity and discover new complementary perspectives that offer clarity, insight, and supportive community.
PLEASE NOTE: MHT is not a support group, a source of medical/psychiatric advice, or a therapy session.

So with my job I tend to have full on, slightly erratic days that means I often have lunch at odd times. On these days I'm often really hungry by the time I actually get to have my lunch and even though I've prepared a healthy salad or soup and I have apples at my desk, I crave the sandwiches and cookies in the cafe upstairs. I know this is just my brain compensating for my being hungry so trying to get me to eat the high calorie foods but sometimes it works. Does anyone else have this problem? And how do you fix it?

Wet Weather a Bonus for Tree Planting Projects
Mick Callan
It's been a bumper year for native tree planting across Bathurst.
This year, Bathurst Regional Council has taken advantage of the wet weather
to plant in excess of 7000 native trees, shrubs and grasses throughout our
parks, and alongside creeks and the Macquarie River.
Mayor of Bathurst Cr Gary Rush said the plantings will assist in providing
habitat for native wildlife, and increasing the biodiversity values of the
Bathurst region.
"Key projects in 2016 have included the revegetation of the banks of the
Macquarie River in Jubilee Park on Ophir Road, and the project in Rankens
Bridge Park to restore Regent Honeyeater habitat.
"Volunteers have also worked hard during community planting days to
revegetate Jordan Creek in Blayney Road Common with native habitat.
"Over the summer months, the focus will turn to watering and weeding these
plantings to ensure their survival through the summer months.
"On behalf of Council I would like to extend our thanks to the many
volunteers who have dedicated their time to assist with this year's tree
planting and maintenance program," Cr Rush said

Since today is Valentine's Day, I thought it would be the perfect time to blog Cayte and D.J.'s maternity session! They are such an adorable couple and the love they share was so evident during their shoot! Their sweet baby boy will be arriving in just a few short weeks, and he's so incredibly lucky that he'll have Cayte and D.J. to show him what love is. As soon as I entered their home, I knew this would be one of my favorite sessions...and it was.
You all know how much I adore lifestyle sessions, so I was beyond thrilled when Cayte decided to start the session in their newly prepared nursery! The color combination of baby blue, white, and orange in their nursery was gorgeous and really popped in photos!
As if a mommy and daddy anxiously awaiting the arrival of their son isn't precious enough, their fur baby joined in for a few photos, too! He absolutely ADORES Cayte, and I know he'll be an amazing protector and best friend to the new baby.
After we finished the lifestyle portion of the session, we headed to one of my favorite places in Hampton Roads, Norfolk Botanical Garden, to do some more traditional maternity portraits. Cayte and D.J. both looked stunning and the lighting was a dream. But what was even more beautiful than the couple and sunset, was the love, warmth, excitement, and anticipation they shared. There really aren't any words I can come up with to describe the beauty of these photos, so I'll just let them do the talking!

Product Review: Sassy Hair Cap
I received a complimentary Sassy Hair Cap from The Sassy Cap for this review. All opinions are my own.
Calling all my bonnet babes! Have you been on the hunt for the perfect bonnet to protect your hair overnight? Well, I have the perfect solution for you! Sassy Cap was so kind to send me a Sassy Hair Cap to try out and review, and let me tell you I am excited about this bonnet! Having long hair has its challenges, one of those is finding a good bonnet to protect my hair at night. I really like the fact that this bonnet is lined on the inside with satin.
Sleeping on a satin pillow case or in a satin bonnet can help prevent hair breakage. Cotton is not as smooth as satin, and it can create friction between your hair and the pillow which may subject your hair to breakage.
Characteristics of the Sassy Hair Cap:
- Elastic Banding ensures Proper Fit
- Protects Hair from Makeup Application
- Pink Satin Interior
- Covers Hair to Protect Style
- Eases Hair Styling Maintenance
- Washable
I wore my Sassy Hair Cap around the house while cooking and cleaning. The cap is equipped with a swappable button to secure your hair up off of your neck. Which is perfect for me, because my hair style is preserved while I am busy doing other stuff around the house.
The only thing I would change about the bonnet would be to have an adjustable elastic band. I found that while sleeping (which I sleep rough at times) the cap would come off. However, I am not a fan of the bonnets that leave a line across my forehead, but for me I would love it if it were a tad bit snugger.
My overall review, is that I really love this bonnet. It has become a part of my daily routine. I mean, this bonnet that can hold ALL of my hair and it keeps it protected from breakage. I encourage you to go and check them out. You can visit their Instagram page Sassy Hair Cap for more testimonials, pictures, and reviews. To order your Sassy Hair Cap visit their website here.

For the next few weeks, the New Testament readings in our lectionary come from Paul's first letter to the Christians in Thessalonica. Written between 50 and 50 C.E., during Paul's second missionary journey, the letter's purpose is to express Paul's thankfulness for the loyalty and faith of the Thessalonians, and to deal with some of their problems. It's theme: how to "lead a life worthy of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory" (2:12). It is the oldest New Testament document surviving in its original form.
Some Christians had quit their work to await in idleness the second coming of Christ, an event they expected at any moment. In the interim, because their more level-headed and industrious brethren had to support them, their pagan neighbors began to ridicule the Church. Paul specifically directed the Thessalonians "to live quietly, to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we charged you; so that you may command the respect of outsiders, and be dependent on nobody" (4:11-12).
Because one of the chief industries of the ancient Macedonian seaport of Thessalonica was the weaving of goat's-hair cloth, from which tents were made, Paul was able to find employment there at his trade of tentmaking (Acts 18:3). His hours, however, we evidently long, for he says, "we worked night and day, that we might not burden any of you, while we preached to you the gospel of God" (1 Thessalonians 2:9).
Thessalonica is located on the coast of northern Greece. (Most of the ancient city lies in ruins beneath the modern town of Thessalonkiki.) Paul converted many people there, but some Jews stirred up a mob and charged the house where Paul had been staying. He wasn't there, so they took the homeowner before the city council and charged him with treason for giving allegiance to Jesus as king. The council threw out the case, but believers convinced Paul to leave town that night. Paul visited the church again and wrote the people two letters (First and Second Thessalonians). The letters show that the believers were confused about the Second Coming and about what happens to people who die before Jesus returns.
Proper 24: 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 – Paul, Sylvanus, and Timothy write to the congregation in Thessalonica, giving thanks for a new and fruitful ministry. Everywhere the faith of this congregation is being praised: how they turned from idol worship to be servants of the living God and wait expectantly for the coming of his son Jesus.
Proper 25: 1 Thessalonians 2:1-8 – Paul reminds the church in Thessalonica of the relationship he established with them when he was in their midst. He, with Sylvanus and Timothy, speak of their frank and fearless preaching of the Gospel.
Proper 26: 1 Thessalonians 2:9-13 – Paul rejoices that the congregation at Thessalonica received God's message as what it truly is, the Word of God at work in those who hold the faith.
Proper 27: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 – Paul explains that the congregation in Thessalonica should not grieve for those who have died as Christians. Paul's vision of the coming of Christ is dramatic; both the living and the dead will be united in Christ at the Lord's coming.
Proper 28: 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 – Paul reminds the Thessalonians that the Day of the Lord Jesus Christ will come unexpectedly. They are to live in faith and love, knowing that God has not destined them for the terrors of his wrath but to receive salvation.
For reflection:
- How are the issues facing the church in ancient Thessalonica similar to our church dynamics today?
- What can we learn from this letter today?

Asma Khan's Supper Clubs are pretty legendary and so when I managed to get the last 2 seats for the Biryani Supper Club, which took place at The Cinnamon Club in a gorgeous room, I counted my lucky stars as I realised a little late and would have truly kicked myself if I had missed out.
Ever since the last supper club, both of us (Amit and I) had been dreaming of the Haleem and Biryani and I was so pleased to see them both on the menu for this one, along with lots of new dishes which we hadn't tried before.
If you haven't been to a supper club before, or are shy or unsure about going to one, let me just say it is such a fantastic experience! You meet lots of new people over amazing food, and you get to try cuisines that you may never have had before. In this particular supper club, Amit and I didn't know anyone sitting at our table but by the end of the meal everyone was laughing, teasing each other and fast became brand new friends.
You soon realise that you will meet people with similar interests as you or who can help you in either business, social aspects, charity work or completely random things after conversing with them. I would highly recommend going to a supper club and I can guarantee you will soon be hooked on to the concept as well as network with fantastic individuals.
When we arrived at the Cinnamon Club, we went into a gorgeous room where we refreshed ourselves with a Saffron Gin and Tonic. It was lush! I also met Bibi, a brand new friend who I had been chatting to in the online sphere, as well as Maham, the most talented lady I know.
While we chatted, we nibbled on absolutely moreish Potato and Peas samosas and Bihari Dal Phulki, which I just could not stop eating, especially with its accompanying chutney, which had a slight but very addictive kick to it. We ate so much as Asma ensured they were replenished regularly, that I was worried I was going to get full so I had to instil majestic willpower to stop myself from feasting on these.
We were soon ushered into a dining room with various tables, and we introduced ourselves to our table pals. Asma chatted to the room about the meal and dishes to come and also told us of two supper club guests, attending that afternoon, who had actually met at Asma's previous supper club and are now engaged. Such a cute story!
For starters, we had Mutton Shikampuri Kebabs, Rogni Roti, Calcutta Puchkas (which us Gujus call Pani Puri) and mine (and Bibi's) favourite, Hyderbadi Haleem.
The Haleem is a special dish as it is a dish that signifies hope. It was a dish which was cooked on the last night of battle and was made with whatever ingredients were available whilst the siege was ongoing. Everything was pounded down and cooked for 8 hours. It is a real dish of optimism and hope and has a special meaning to Asma and for her business.
For mains, we had the star dish – the Calcutta Lamb Dum Biryani. It arrived in a massive platter and our table got through two of these!
Alongside it we had a scrumptious tomato chutney, which was served warm so something new for me, Hyderbadi Mirchi Ka Salaan, which was spiced up chillies which was divine, and Beetroot Raita, with a pretty pink hue and wonderful cooling taste.
Asma's Biryani dish is absolutely heavenly and it tastes homemade and comforting. I am already craving it whilst typing so am hoping it will feature in a future supper club so I can get my fix!
For dessert, I tried a dish which I had never had before but fell in love with – a Hyderabadi Khoobani Ka Meetha served with fluffy cream. It is made from Apricots and it is just decadent. Big thank you to my table for helping with the food styling 😉
You could also have Makaibari Estate Organic Darjeeling Tea, which some of the table did have, as well as Meetha Pan, which was popular amongst the room, with Asma explaining how to eat it to those whose first time it was eating Pan.
All in all it was an absolutely wonderful meal. I enjoyed every single dish and we had such fantastic conversations on our table. I loved trying new dishes and was suitably in a food coma by the end of a superb afternoon. A Saturday well spent!
Thank you Asma for such a fabulous experience and I look forward to the next one! Keep an eye out for her supper club announcements here.

Dubbed "Costco Free Unlimited Internet Access," the ISP will be offered to Costco's 25 million U.S. members. Similar to its deal with Kmart, Yahoo will provide its My Yahoo personalization services, and Spinway will power free Internet access. Costco will also receive preferred exposure throughout Yahoo to market its merchandise to Net users.
The deal is another example of online companies trying to attract Internet newcomers to their services and of offline retailers trying to step further into e-commerce. Retail stores have become the latest battlefront for Internet companies because they can potentially tap consumers trying to take their first steps online.
"It's an extension of our fusion marketing program where we're helping advertisers build an audience and connect with audience online," said Drew Lanham, senior director of business development at Yahoo.
Already, Internet giants America Online and Microsoft have struck deals with retail chains Circuit City and RadioShack, respectively, to market their Internet services to computer shoppers.
For Yahoo, targeting more general goods retailers could help it attract more mainstream Americans as well as old-economy advertisers. Yahoo's free ISP with Kmart, BlueLight.com, had recorded 1 million customers as of March.
"I think that if they've been very successful with Kmart, they're trying to replicate that model and go after that demographic," said Emily Meehan, an analyst at market research firm The Yankee Group. "It's another initiative for Yahoo to try to snap up and get cozy with the consumer segment."
Yahoo also faces competitive pressures from AOL, which is the world's largest ISP with 24 million paying subscribers. Like AOL, the Yahoo-Spinway partnership bundles content and services with Internet access.
Spinway has attracted some 5 million people through such partnerships, according to the company. But it is uncertain that these deals put competitive pressure on AOL, which also is attempting to attract mainstream Americans.
Separately, the business of free ISPs remains questionable. People who use services such as NetZero and CMGI's 1stUp.com do not pay monthly subscription fees, but in return they must accept persistent ad banners on their browsers. Spinway relies on banner ads and video-streaming ads. But unlike other free ISPs, Spinway customers are not required to click on the ads.
AOL has historically criticized the free ISP business and has shied away from launching similar services in the United States. AOL executives have remained adamant that their brand and content will continue to attract new subscribers.
"AOL has really been the only ISP to date that has proven that content and access belong together," said Bruce Kasrel, an analyst at Forrester Research. "These free ISPs have done a good job in getting sign ups, but none of them have come to the forefront and said, 'Our users stay online longer and buy more things.'"
Today's deal is another milestone in the Yahoo-Spinway partnership. The companies are targeting large offline retailers to not only attract more people to their services, but also to get more people to view advertising. This could be beneficial given the increased scrutiny of the health of online advertising and fears that a souring market and a spate of closures among consumer Internet companies will hurt revenue growth.
The effects of these deals have not been clearly seen in Yahoo's bottom line. But the indirect effects may aid the portal giant. Jordan Rohan, an equity analyst at Wit SoundView, said the retail partnership could give the companies an advantage in luring offline advertisers peddling merchandise and other products. As advertising from dot-com companies dries up, it will be crucial for Yahoo to show that traditional advertisers still want online real estate.
The deal "should help to increase the amount of major retailers and consumer goods marketers that advertise on Yahoo," Rohan said. "And that will affect bottom line dramatically."

That is all from us for the moment. Don't forget to tune in for the second game of the day, Sri Lanka v Canada at 2.30 pm local time, which is 9.00 am GMT. Hope Canada can put up a better show than Kenya did. This is Abhishek Purohit signing off along with Gopi Rangarajan, and Binoy George. Thanks for the feedback, guys. Cheers!
Brett: "Kamande to Vetorri "So... double or nothing?""
Bennett is Man of the Match: "Been tough for us after the India game. I have been working on the yorker a lot, especially for the Powerplays. Hopefully it won't get much hotter than this for the rest of the tournament. It is pretty tough to get used to."
Vettori: "Wicket had a bit of variable bounce, which our seamers exploited. some big games coming up, good to start like this. With Mills coming back, there might be some changes for the next game. Nathan has done brilliantly as well for us."
Kamande: "Don;t think it was the wicket. It was the areas NZ bowled. We got to be more positive in whatever we do. NZ came very hard at us. We have to learn from this performance today. There are some more games coming up for us."
This game got over in a flash. But you can utilise the time before the next game by checking out our smart phone apps. They are quite a rage.

Well, that was a quickie, wasn't it? Less than a third of what a full ODI would be. New Zealand have done themselves no harm at all with a thrashing of Kenya, who were clueless with their batting, unable to combat the New Zealand seamers on a two-paced Chepauk wicket.
Nitin: "Cant imagine this was the same team which went on to semis in 2003 WC."

Charter broker Missy Johnston at Northrop and Johnson Worldwide Yacht Charters has several recommendations this week. "In Greece, I have my favorites that continue to offer great charters year after year. They are the 103-foot motoryacht Suncoco, the 116-foot motoryacht Helios, the 134-foot motoryacht O'rion, and the 175-foot motoryacht O'rama. The captain, crew, and chef on each of those yachts are fantastic."
Missy Johnston at Northrop and Johnson Worldwide Yacht Charters also has recommendations in Turkey: "I am always very happy to offer the 72-foot gulet Primadonna, the 115-foot gulet Queen of Datca, the 115-foot gulet Blue Eyes, the 146-foot gulet Mare Nostrum, and the 183-foot Pruva sailing yacht Regina, which just appeared in the James Bond movie Skyfall."
Charter broker Reia Stannard at CharterWorld has two recommendations this week. First is for the 121-foot Couach motoryacht Dragon in Greece: "She blew us away with the quality of detail and professionalism of the crew."
Reia Stannard at CharterWorld also recommends the 131-foot Golden Yachts motoryacht O'Pati in Greece: "She is truly unique in the Greek market. She is ultra-chic yet luxuriously comfortable, and she has an impressive cruising speed of 24 knots. She was named Best Power Yacht between 24 and 40 meters at the 2012 International Superyacht Society Design and Leadership Awards."
Charter broker Liz Howard at Fraser Yachts Worldwide says: "For American charterers, I think the 130-foot Westport motoryacht Endless Summer is the best in Greece."
Ocean Independence recommends the 118-foot Turkish-built sailing yacht Merlin for charters this summer in Turkey: "She has ample volume and much deck space, but she also sails pretty well—which is quite a combination for this style vessel in Turkey."
Ocean Independence also has the 121-foot Yachting Developments sailing yacht Bliss offering charters in both Greece and Turkey this summer.
Neo Yachting has just welcomed the 105-foot Azimut motoryacht Grande to the charter fleet in Turkey. She is a 2012 build with five guest cabins and will be among the newest motoryachts available in the region.
Edmiston and Company says the 146-foot Intermarine motoryacht Balaju will have charter availability during May and June in Greece.
Camper and Nicholsons International recommends the 168-foot Oceanco motoryacht Lazy Z this summer in Greece and Turkey. Few other charter yachts in the world offer as many water toys, including a giant inflatable slide.

Tips for Selling Your Home When You Have a Dog
Dogs might be man's best friend, but that doesn't mean it will be easy to stage and show a home with a four-legged gatekeeper on the job. From an overly exuberant personality to downright gruff demeanour, dogs can make it tough to show a home. Following are some ways to minimize distress to Fido and ensure that visitors are safe and that the house remains as appealing as possible.
Clean It Up: Because we love our dogs, we don't always see what is in front of our very eyes. Take a good look around. Pick up the dog toys, fill any holes in the backyard, and be sure to dust and vacuum any pet hair before allowing anyone in the home.
Notify: Make sure the listing agent includes a note that informs everyone about a dog on the premises and whether there are any special instructions for dealing with visitors. Not only will this prevent a sudden surprise visit that could startle the dog, but it also provides important information to buyers who may suffer from asthma or allergies.
Schedule: Whenever possible, ask agents to schedule visits around a time when you can take the dog out for a walk or drive. This allows prospective buyers and the agent to direct attention toward the home and amenities rather than deal with the pet.
Contingency Plans: Take special precautions to make sure pets have proper identification. Mistakes happen, and a beloved pet can escape or get loose without anyone realizing it. Leave special instructions on where the pet belongs at all times and what to do in the event of an emergency.

7 Easy, Low-Cost Ways to Transform Your Home
Searching for easy ways to spruce up your abode? Following are some ways to transform your home for less than $10.
Turn Your TV Into Art: Newer television sets can easily display family portraits, vacation photos or your favourite scenery with the touch of a button. Just upload to the gallery, add music if desired and enjoy.
Paint It Up: Add a splash of colour to a boring old chair or bring new life to a table with bold bright colours.
Sign Your Name: Decorations don't need to be expensive. Use a template or vinyl letters to showcase your favourite quote. Simply select a blank spot on the wall or furniture to instantly apply a thoughtful expression to your daily life.
Stop to Smell the Roses: Bring a little of the outdoors inside with the creative use of flowers, grasses, leaves, pinecones or even rocks. They add interest and colour to any décor.
Cover Up: Use old wrapping paper, string and ribbons to transform plain cardboard boxes into ultra-colourful organizers.
Soft Spots: Create soft spots with the help of a semitransparent scarf draped over a lamp, table or armchair. Use different colours to create ambiance.
Create Interest: Repurpose old jewellery, buttons and other knickknacks by adding interest to throw pillows, pull strings or other ordinary items around the home. Sew on or thread together using ribbons and lace.

Secrets to Making Money Flipping Homes
Making money by flipping a house takes common sense, savvy and a lot of luck. To be successful, you first need to find an undervalued property. The rule of thumb is to buy a property 30% below market value. Look for a fixer-upper that needs a cosmetic facelift and can be upgraded quickly and inexpensively rather than one that needs major structural changes.
Neighbourhood is everything when it comes to selling your renovated property. Focus on established neighbourhoods and find the worst house on a good block or try to guess which neighbourhoods are undervalued. If you can spot an up-and-coming area, you can probably flip several houses before others catch on.
Know what you're getting into financially. For example, borrowers who want a short-term, variable-rate loan must now meet the standards for a five-year, fixed-rate mortgage, as a result of recently introduced federal legislation.
Set a budget and stick to it. Remember to allow for inspection and legal fees, real estate agent commissions, and land transfer tax. The price of construction materials has also spiralled upward recently, so don't underestimate your renovation costs.
A determined first-time flipper can start by living in the newly purchased house during the renovations. You only have one mortgage to pay, and if you hold on to the property for at least a year, you may not have to pay capital gains. But be sure to check this with a lawyer or accounting professional.
Flipping isn't easy. But with luck and hard work you may just make money.

Bombs Away
Crossposted from MY LEFT WING
We have been told repeatedly that the United States is a "Christian nation," founded on "Christian principles."
We have been told repeatedly that George W. Bush is a "man of faith," a "born-again Christian."
In other words, under orders from a self-styled Christian head of state, the world's most powerful "Christian nation" just started a "massive air assault" on Iraq. DROPPING BOMBS is how I understand that phrase. Apparently it MIGHT not mean that.
The "Christian" head of a "Christian" state has authorised
a week of a war consisting of MASSIVE, systematic terrorising, disfigurement, dismemberment and murder of human beings... with bombs.
This week's rationale:"...to root out insurgents near a town where recent violence raised fears of civil war."
Praise Jesus, the missiles are flying, Hallelujah.
You know how the Fox News types chortle when one of their guests says, "Islam is a religion of peace?"
I wonder how the average Iraqi feels when she hears someone say, "Christianity is a religion of peace."
Someone please explain to me how going to war, shooting families in cars, bombing entire cities, blasting the limbs off of children, and creating an entire generation of war orphans has ANYTHING to do with the teachings of Jesus Christ.
You want to call yourself a Christian? Swell. BEHAVE like a Christian. You want to call yourself "pro-life" and mourn all the unborn children who never had a chance to live? Take a moment to consider all the pregnant women who've been killed in Iraq. Or, say, how about all those children who did have a chance to live... before we bombed them into oblivion.
These are the words of Jesus Christ:
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
"What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul."
"For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."
"The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks."
"Tend to my sheep."
"Blessed are the merciful."
"I give you a new commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you."
"Forgive seventy times seven."
"Blessed are the peacemakers."
"Whatever you have done to little children you have done to me."
"Let him who is without sin cast the first stone."
"You have heard that it was said, "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." But I say to you, Do not resist one who is evil. But if any one strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also; and if any one would sue you and take your coat, let him have your cloak as well; and if any one forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles."
Then they came up and laid hands upon Jesus and seized him. And behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest, and cut off his ear. Then Jesus said to him, "Put your sword back into its place; for all who take the sword will perish by the sword."
Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God; for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord." No, "if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for by doing so you will heap burning coals upon his head."
Now, I know that many Christians have no use for other religions; these are shortsighted and ignorant people. Christians who truly practice the teachings of Jesus Christ are well aware that many religions preach the same basic precepts:
Let there be no injury and no requital.
- Islam. Forty Hadith of an-Nawawi 32
One should choose to be among the persecuted, rather than the persecutors.
- Judaism. Talmud, Baba Kamma 93a
Victory breeds hatred, for the defeated live in pain. Happily live the peaceful, giving up victory and defeat.
- Buddhism. Dhammapada 201
Chi K'ang-tzu asked Confucius about government, saying, "Suppose I were to slay those who have not the Way in order to help those who have the Way, what would you think of it?" Confucius replied saying, "You are there to rule, not to slay. If you desire what is good, the people will at once be good."
- Confucianism. Analects 12.19
Those who beat you with fists,
Do not pay them in the same coin,
But go to their house and kiss their feet.
- Sikhism. Adi Granth, Shalok, Farid, p. 1378
In wars to gain land, the dead fill the plains; in wars to gain cities, the dead fill the cities. This is known as showing the land the way to devour human flesh. Death is too light a punishment for such men who wage war. Hence those skilled in war should suffer the most severe punishments.
- Confucianism. Mencius IV.A.14
There is nothing I can say or do to make this stop. These are not men of peace, these are not men of Christ or men of faith.
These are warmongers who use the words of faith to pacify the masses while they use bombs and money to secure for themselves more and more of the power they seek.

Medics hailed 'heroes' for saving 12-weeks premature baby who weighed just ONE POUND at birth
Baby George defied the odds and is now healthy and happy six months on, weighing 9lbs despite nightmare pregnancy
A COUPLE whose son weighed just over a pound after being born 12 weeks early have praised doctors for saving their baby.
Louise, 33, and Paul Rossall, 32, have expressed their thanks to the "amazing" staff at the Royal Victoria Infirmary Hospital and the Freeman Hospital for their help throughout the difficult time.
After a tough few months in and out of the hospital, baby George is now happy and healthy at six months old.
Medics delivered the tot by emergency C-section just 27 weeks into the pregnancy due to issues with the placenta, which was resisting blood flow and affecting George's growth.
In an interview with the Chronicle Live, new mum Louise told how everything was fine with the pregnancy up until 20 weeks, when doctors realised baby George was undersized, and Louise was struggling with high blood pressure.
The bad news worsened when medics realised George's heart rate was also abnormally slow, posing a risk to his life.
Hospital staff rushed Louise to an operating room after an ultrasound determined the tot weighed 500g – the minimum weight needed to survive outside the womb.
Mum Louise, who works for the NHS, told how she managed to call partner Paul before doctors delivered George via an emergency C-section, and he managed to get to the theatre to see his son's birth.

She remembered: "I didn't have time to panic, everything happened so quickly."
Baby George weighed just one pound and three ounces when he was born, and doctors feared he wouldn't make it to see the next day.
Louise said: "It was a military operation trying to hold him, he was wired up and attached to a ventilator."
After making it through the nightmare emergency birth and the first few days, the young family were forced to relive their worst fears again when medics said the tot needed complex surgery to close a blood vessel in his chest which was moving blood and oxygen from his lungs and stopping his body functioning properly.
Louise and Paul said they prepared themselves for the worst: "We said goodbye to him. We paced up and down the hospital waiting for him to come out of surgery."
After a long wait, George was moved from the operating theatre to intensive care, where he was placed on a ventilator.
Amazingly, he was already trying to breathe on his own, just hours after the operation.
Louise said: "My mum always said me and Paul were stubborn. That must be where George gets it from."
The first time we saw him without tubes in his face was amazing. He is such a beautiful baby.Louise
George went from strength to strength, and the hospital reduced the support he was on within three days – the surgery had been a success.
He was taken home when he reached 15 weeks of age, and now weighs a healthy 9lbs.
Louise said: "The first time we saw him without tubes in his face was amazing. He is such a beautiful baby.
"It was always horrible having to leave him, but we always knew he was in the right place.
"They saved our baby's life. He is only here because of them. I can't thank them enough."Paul recently ran in the Great North Run, and was able to raise over £1,600 for Crawford House, an organisation which houses parents with ill kids
The overjoyed dad will also compete in the London Marathon next year for charity Bliss, which works to provide care and support for premature and sick babies and their families.
