text: The Nigeria Police on Wednesday arraigned the National Commandant of Peace Corps of Nigeria, Amb. (Dr.) Dickson Akoh before an Abuja Federal High Court.\r\n\r\nHis arraignment is coming 11 days after Akoh was detained at the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) unit of the FCT Command.\r\n\r\nDAILY POST reports that, Akoh was detained on Sunday, 19th March 2017, when he turned himself in, having heard that the Police was looking for him.\r\n\r\nAll entreaties by well meaning Nigerians for Akoh to be released, proved abortive.\r\n\r\nMeanwhile, the Police had earlier sued the National Commandant with a 90-count charge, bordering on extortion of money, wearing of uniform, hoisting of flags, money laundering and running an outlaw organisation, the suit which was first allocated to Justice Gabriel Kolawole.\r\n\r\nIt was, however, disclosed thereafter, that, the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, had transferred the case to Justice J.T. Tsoho\u2019s court.\r\n\r\nDAILY POST recalls that, Akoh was first arrested on February 28th, 2017, along 49 others, on the day the National Headquarters of the Corps was launched.\r\n\r\nThey were detained at the Force Headquarters for 3 days and later released after \u201csome female Journalists protested that, the nursing mothers among the detainees be released to attend to their babies after 3 days.\u201d\r\n\r\nIrked by the seemingly violation of their fundamental human rights, former Attorney-General of the Federation, Chief Kanu Agabi (SAN), slammed the Police and DSS with a N2bn suit, challenging the arrest, harassment and detention of Akoh and others.\r\n\r\nConsequently, Justice Gabriel Kolawole issued a 12-day ultimatum to the Nigeria Police, to advance reasons for such treatment.\r\n\r\nThe Police has, however, reacted to the ultimatum in a counter affidavit deposed to, on 22nd March 2017; denying harassing the Akoh and 49 others.\r\n\r\nAt the resumed hearing on Wednesday, the Prosecution Counsel, A.K. Aliyu asked that the 90-count charge be read to the defendant.\r\n\r\nThough the Presiding Judge demanded that the count charge be compressed, to enable the court take all while the defendant also take his plea; but Aliyu objected to it.\r\n\r\nAfter reading the count charge for over an hour and with the end not in sight, the court arose for a 20-minute break, to continue with the reading of the remaining count charge.

Off The Map
Over the course of the day I forget who you are
like the cider that is cooling in my fridge.
Twice now I have taken it out
placed it on the table with a glass
and twice, the morning after you have left
returned it unopened to its cold standing.
This is a conscious forgetting.
I am not neglectful, just careful.
Had history distilled itself differently
I would be drunk on you already.
I fall back into bed and inhale
your perfume on my pillow
ether on a handkerchief.
Do you see how easy it is
for me to fix myself? In a dream
I chase you down a Caspian coastline
find my name in your country
and lose you in mine.
Does it worry you that I have studied
your subtle geography?
Become familiar with its ridges and boarders?
It's far too late now of course.
My name is in your country
and you are in yours.
You must know I believe in love
like I believe in ghosts;
an atheist angel who is afraid of both
haunted by the shadow floating
hoping the sun will always shine
but my name is in your country
and you are in mine.
This written in the last letters of an old alphabet
spoken in the first few words
of a new language. I will never learn.
My fingers are clumsy on these keys
I press delete, shift and return.

Cherokee ComeUnity Hub: Where?
Posted by Lyndsey Scott on March 6, 2009 | Comments Off on Cherokee ComeUnity Hub: Where?
Lighting a fire under the four architects/designers in the room, 10-yr artist Violet Stopp came up with this, the very first visual proposal for hub programming — scribing in sharpee-marker comic form during the last Planning gathering while grownups talked and talked. From a gardener to happy yoga mats to a bandstand and go-go dancers to a movie screen, her plan encompassed a lot of "How do You play?" My favorite was the juggling magician and awed kids (drawn at her dad's request).
An exciting team of sixteen people with tremendous variety of skill and enthusiastic energy was present to the 2/26 potluck — chomping on burritos and standing over three foot long color printouts of birds-eye-view neighborhood maps, pointing and brainstorming.
Conversation included deciding on which 501(3c) to partner with as our umbrella organization and mapping out grant strategies. Most importantly right now, priority is given to solving the question: WHERE?
What spot is the best fit to fulfill the potential of this community gathering space?
Preferable Qualities:
> Easily accessible and central to Cherokee Street –
potential to 'bridge' East and West of Jefferson
> Highly visible to pedestrian and car traffic
> Large enough to accommodate gathering space and greenspace
> Vacant unpaved lot available for purchase
Representing public opinion is a very necessary piece of moving forward with momentum. If you'd like a say, speak your piece!
To share your opinion on locale in person, we'll be making presentations and receiving feedback at the next Gravois Park Neighborhood Association meeting, Cherokee Street Business Association meeting, and Benton Park West Neighborhood Association meeting.
To share your opinion in writing – use the comment boxes below. All comments will be taken into consideration at the next Hub planning meeting (TBA). If you'd like to jump on the mailing list for information updates or to participate in planning meetings, I'd love to hear from you.

King Of Gods - Chapter 223
Chapter 223 - Dragon Concealing Lake
Zhao Feng felt the changes in his body and he saw that his bloodline power had become thicker.
He returned back to the room. He took out a mirror and he saw that his left eye and hair had become slightly darker.
Zhao Feng took a light breath and circulated his azure blood. Instantly, a thin layer of azure light had enveloped his skin and it gave off a queer, but noble aura.
Zhao Feng felt that his blood and bones were being filled with an indescribable power and his energy was enhanced.
''My strength has increased by 10-20% and I seem to be protected somewhat.''
Zhao Feng inspected the changes in his bloodline power closely.
There were two main points.
One, his bloodline power had become thicker and the attributes that he had gained had increased. Two, when he circulated his bloodline power, a glass-like azure tattoo would envelop his body and it would protect him.
Zhao Feng felt that the God's Spiritual Eye's bloodline was one step further to awakening.
He soon put his eyepatch back on and he concealed his bloodline power, which made the glass-like azure tattoo disappear.
Zhao Feng didn't seem to be any different except that the colour of his hair had got slightly darker.
For the next day, Zhao Feng got familiar with his bloodline power and he consolidated his cultivation.
Right now, his cultivation had reached the limit of the 5th Sky and he was only behind Yang Gan amongst the Core disciples.
The next morning.
The ten Core disciples of the Broken Moon Clan sat on three separate flying beasts and they headed North.
This time, they were being led by the Broken Moon Clan Master, First Elder, Granny Liuyue, Hai Yun Master, Vice-Head Li and a few others of the older generation.
Zhao Feng sat on Vice Head Li's Two headed Silver Crowned Bird and he helped him tame it.
At this point in time, the Two headed Silver Crowned Bird was already extremely obedient.
Vice Head Li was full of admiration: ''Usually, adult flying beasts like this are very hard to tame. Many have to be tamed from young.''
Under normal circumstances, it would range from half a year to several years to tame this adult Two headed Silver Crowned Bird.
But with Zhao Feng's help, only half a month was needed.
Lin Fan and Liu Yue'er sat on the Two headed Silver Crowned Bird as well, they were two people who Zhao Feng was familiar with.
''Senior, how long is it till we arrive?'' Liu Yue'er asked obediently.
''Around two - three days, including the breaks in between.'' Vice-Head Li answered.
The Alliance Banquet was held in the territories of the thirteen countries and it was at the famous 'Dragon Concealing Lake'.
This lake was at the center of the thirteen countries' territories.
On the journey, Zhao Feng sat cross-legged and he circulated his True Force to sense the energy of heaven and earth. While circulating it, he could feel the power of lightning in the air above.
Ever since the Floating Crest Trial, all of Zhao Feng's skills used the Lightning Inheritance as their foundation.
The Lightning Inheritance contained every aspect including movement, speed, offense and defense. Zhao Feng currently had two paths of cultivation.
One was the Lightning Inheritance and the other was Mental Energy. Zhao Feng had almost given up on body strengthening after the Floating Crest Trial.
Originally, he could continue to cultivate the Nine Twist Golden Wall Technique since he had completed the Silver Wall Technique. But body strengthening was hard and progression was slow. It would also use a large amount of resources.
The Nine Twist Golden Wall Technique was a peak tier Mortal skill and if Zhao Feng needed it, he could easily get it with his status in the Clan.
One had to know tgat Zhao Feng even had Spiritual tier skills in his mind and normal Spiritual skills had strict requirements. But they weren't better than the Lightning Inheritance because Inheritances were complete with every spirit.
In terms of value, a low tier Spiritual skill was definitely not as good as the Lightning Inheritance, just like how a Spiritual weapon wasn't worth as much as an Inheritance item.
Zhao Feng had done body strengthening when he was in the Consolidate Realm and he had set a strong foundation, which was why his cultivation could increase rapidly.
But now, there was no point in body strengthening unless one wanted to go down the path of body strengthening.
''No matter how strong one's body is, I can crumble their defense with one thought of mine and no matter how powerful one's defense is, my Lightning Wind Palm can shatter it.''
Zhao Feng seemed to understand something. There was no such thing as the strongest Dao, there was only the most suitable Dao.
And Zhao Feng chose the mysterious mental energy techniques and Lightning, which strived for destruction.
While sitting and gaining comprehension, Zhao Feng suddenly felt a sizzle of killing intent. Although it was just a sizzle and well hidden, it didn't escape Zhao Feng's senses.
On top of the Giant Golden Ashen Eagle.
Hai Yun Master's eyes flashed coldly as they locked on Zhao Feng.
A few days ago when Zhao Feng came back and overtook Bei Moi, Hai Yun Master felt a danger and pressure that he never felt before.
Through a series of questioning, Hai Yun Master had understood Zhao Feng's path to maturity and felt uneasy. Zhao Feng's path to maturity turned the impossible to possible.
In just half a year's time, how many miracles had Zhao Feng created?
Dominating the Outer disciples, becoming number one.
Cultivating the Lightning Wind Palm.
Establishing his dominance in the Scarlet Moon Cave, becoming First Elder's disciple.
Breaking the ten thousand year record of the Floating Crest Trial.
Shocking everyone in the Three Clan Party.
And now, there were many disciples discussing whether Zhao Feng's true strength was stronger than the Head Disciple.
''This is the last time... Alliance Banquet.''
Hai Yun Master tried his best to calm the uneasiness in his heart.
If Zhao Feng could create a miracle in this Alliance Banquet, he would slay the latter no matter what the price was.
Three days later.
A sparkling blue lake came into view.
''We're here.''
From on top of the three flying beasts came sounds of expectation and excitement.
Zhao Feng opened his eyes and he saw that the lake was around one thousand miles large.
In the middle of the lake, there was a small island the size of Sun Feather City.
At this point in time.
The nearby flying beasts all headed towards the small island in the middle.
''This is the gathering place of the Thirteen Clans - the Dragon Concealing Lake.'' Vice Head Li smiled.
There were many legends about the Dragon Concealing Lake.
Apparently, several thousands of years ago, a cultivator had cultivated here for almost a hundred years and he finally became a bright star that swept across the Azure Flower Continent.
That cultivator was known as 'Concealed Dragon', whose cultivation was said to be at the Origin Core Realm and he was extremely famous.
In this continent, anyone that had reached the Origin Core Realm was recorded as legends.
''The legends of 'Concealed Dragon' is true.'' Vice Head Li said confidently, which peaked Liu Yue'er's curiousity.
''Really? How would you be certain?'' Liu Yue'er asked curiously.
Vice Head Li laughed: ''The top three rewards of the Alliance Banquet this time has something to do with the 'Concealed Dragon'.
''What is the reward?'' Zhao Feng and Lin Fan couldn't hold back from asking.
''When the Concealed Dragon cultivated in the Concealing Dragon Lake, there was a ruin behind and apparently, that ruin contained the insights and comprehension from an expert at the Origin Core Realm. This is one of the most treasured places of the thirteen countries.'' Vice Head Li said.
The 'Origin Core Ruins' in the Concealing Dragon Lake was guarded by the top three Clans: The Cloud Sword Clan, Ancient Shrine and True Mystic Clan.
Usually, only the top geniuses of the three Clan's were allowed to enter.
But the remaining ten Clans were obviously unwilling. Therefore, the Alliance Banquet every ten years was an event for sparring amongst them and a way to distribute the resources.
Soon, those from the Broken Moon Clan entered the island.
The small island was a place used specifically to host the Alliance Banquet.
In the centre of the small island, there was an array stage several miles large.
This was the first time that everyone had seen such a large array stage and it was created with pitch black sand stones.
The pitch black sand stone was extremely hard and only Mortal weapons could barely damage it. Furthermore, such a large amount of sand stones decreased the power.
Around the black sand stone stage was fifteen stands.
Each Clan had a respective stand and as for the remaining two stands, they were prepared for the Iron Dragon Country and Sky Rich Country.
'''The two factions of those two countries used to send disciples here, but eventually they stopped coming.'' Vice Head Li explained.
The group from the Broken Moon Clan were taken to a stand. The stand wasn't only used to spectate, there was also housing on it.
Several hours later.
The Lin Moon Clan and Silver Moon Clan had arrived respectively one another and they were placed to the Broken Moon Clan's left.
The three Clans used to be one Clan and they usually faced enemies together.
The combined strength of these three Clans weren't to be looked down upon.
''Look, it's one of the Four Stars!''
A few people from the stands glanced over.
Ao Yuetian was indeed one of the top geniuses. His arrival had caused a ripple.
His cultivation had reached the 7th Sky and he had damped the brightness of many geniuses.
In the next day.
All thirteen groups from the thirteen Clan's arrived.
Unexpectedly, the Iron Dragon Country also sent a group of people to spectate. The Iron Dragon Country was the most powerful country on the Northern Continent and their force was much stronger than the Thirteen Clans.
''Hehe, this time's Alliance Banquet is far more popular than before.''
The black sand stone stage lit up and a layer of thin gold light sliced the array stage into four parts.
At the same time, four experts at the True Spirit Realm went to manage the array at each of the four parts.
''The array stage is split into four parts and the top three from each area will beranked. Finally, the four parts will become one and that's when the true battle starts... ''
From the stands came excited and expectant discussions.
Soon, an expert at the True Spirit Realm from the Cloud Moon Clan finished all the announcements.
''The reward for first place in the Alliance Banquet this time will not only be ten thousand low grade Primal Crystal stones, they will have the chance to enter the 'Origin Core Ruins', they will also receive a Shedding Spiritual pill.'' A bright voice sounded.
Shedding Spiritual pill?
Information regarding it popped up in Zhao Feng's head.
At the same time, everyone broke out into chaos.
Vice Head Li was full of excitement and shock: ''I can't believe that the Alliance Banquet is giving out a Shedding Spiritual pill this time!''

whale caviar
whale caviar .
whale caviar . Wholesale of caviar from 5kg .Russian Caviar. We cooperate with restaurants, casinos, hotels, catering companies, retail chains, cruises companies, night clubs, cosmetics manufacturers and supermarkets.
The rulers of ancient Persia valued the mystical power of sturgeon caviar, which they opened to the world, above all treasures.
Giant fishes, going to spawn, easily turned over fragile boats and doomed fishermen to sacrificial death in the cold waters of the Caspian Sea. The black caviar fished with such a risk on the shore was immediately added with a pinch of sea salt and served to the lord freshest – as soon as possible. It was believed that it cures many diseases, gives vitality, gives the kings strong descendants.
To the table of the ancient Greeks, a rare treat, which Aristotle mentioned in the fourth century BC, was brought from the colonies
A tiny vessel filled with hardly a hundred black eggs cost more than a flock of sheep a hundred heads.
The ancient Romans extolled so much the caviar for its healing properties that the whole system of trumpeters proclaimed the curiosity at the feasts, and the dishes were decorated with garlands of fresh flowers.
When the darkness of the Middle Ages fell on Europe after the death of the Roman Empire, the caviar literally dissolved in this shadow. Has disappeared.
In the XII century, it was rediscovered by Russian fishermen.
From then until now, sturgeon caviar has been associated with Russia, royal treasures and appetites of nobility.
Peter the First was eating black caviar in incredible quantities. Every year, 11 tons of caviar from Astrakhan and Azerbaijan were delivered annually to the court of Nicholas II as a tax on the highest approved craft.
Pope Julius II returned black caviar to Europe
Patron of the monumental frescoes of Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel, he was known as a great gourmet and took it upon himself to present a delicacy at the ceremonies of each royal house, where he had time to go.
The mention of caviar as a snack first appeared in the book of Francois Rabelais
The French expression of hors d'oeuvre bears in itself shades of meaning as subtle as the nuances of noble taste: from inimitable creation and rim for jewels to a pleasing deed.
Colbert, the finance nister of France, known for his zealousness and strategic plans for the ages to come, tried to develop the caviar industry in the mouth of Girona, where wild sturgeons came to spawn. But the taste of caviar, which was mined on the Volga at its inflow into the Caspian Sea, was unparalleled, and could not be surpassed.
When World War I broke out, and then the revolution in Russia, the aristocrats took with them to emigration the aristocratic habit of eating caviar
And in 1920, Charles Ritz officially introduced a delicacy to the menu of his Paris hotel.
Elitism, extravagance: for many years, caviar caused such associations in the United States and Switzerland, Japan and the Gulf countries.
The bankers' wives boasted that they spoiled their favorite cats with caviar. Sheikhs ordered caviar to take baths from it. The golden niche, which was exploited by black caviar producers and suppliers, had shrunk to the beginning of the 21st century. Almost all the wild livestock of sturgeon, long exterminated in Europe, was on the verge of extinction in the waters of the Caspian Sea. For lovers of jewelry, this is reminiscent of the story of natural emeralds – they are no longer on the planet.
Unlike other luxury goods, which can now be bought almost anywhere, the price of black caviar has soared 40 times in the last 50 years.
The kings of ancient Persia would nod in approval of the Caspian coast – their fetish regained its former aura. And the point is not that the most expensive sturgeon-albino caviar in the world, which is more than a hundred years old, now costs as much as the stones of the first group, and its packaging is covered with 24-carat gold.
It is more important to think about preserving the true value of black caviar. There are not many suppliers among those who will not disappoint connoisseurs of authentic taste. Choose those who follow the golden rule: caviar is worth respect. Pay tribute to her.

How is Pilates different from other forms of exercise?
Pilates is the art of control (described by Joseph Pilates himself as Contrology) that develops centering and precision in your movements enhancing how your body functions. Pilates requires a deep focus and intention on your body as one integrated and activated system. We do not isolate body parts, as our bodies don't really function that way. Pilates is always a whole body experience, utilizing movement in all directions and powerful full breathing to stimulate and enhance the function of all systems in the body. We work with the concepts of decompression and buoyancy to return to natural movement patterning, improving your body's ability to move through the world as a perfectly organized and functional system, supported by a strong center. One major goal of the Pilates system, aside from whole body health, is uniform development. By developing a deeply strong center, we move with less compensation, making our movement patterns more efficient, which can help improve chronic pain, increase energy levels and inspire confidence.
I've never done this before. How do I get started?
The best way to get started is to sign up for a few private sessions. It's important to have the concepts and skills introduced in a way that is tailored to your body and learning style. This also allows us to assess the best way to help you achieve your goals safely and effectively. After your first few sessions, you can continue with private sessions and/or move into Fundamental /Beginning level classes or duets and trios. To schedule, read the answer to the next question.
What's the best way to sign up for a session or class?
The easiest thing to do is to link from our front page of our website under "View Class Schedule". You will be prompted to create a login if it's your first time visiting. You can make an appointment request directly from our scheduling program and/or sign yourself up for group classes. We do require online sign up for group classes and will cancel classes 24 hours in advance with less than 2 people signed up.
You can always email us at firstname.lastname@example.com if you have other questions or would like to speak with someone prior to signing up. Or you can call us at 415.360.3008 and leave us a message if you land in voicemail.
Before you come in for your first session, feel free to download our intake forms and fill them out ahead of time. If you don't have a printer, no problem, just arrive 10 min. before your session to fill out the forms.
What do I wear?
Come dressed in something comfortable that allows you to move. It's best if you don't have zippers or other things that may catch onto and tear the upholstery. Also be aware that you will be moving in all directions and clothes that are too tight or loose may end up on parts of your body you didn't intend to wear them on. We also use the traditional apparatus to work the feet and toes, so typically you will work out barefoot.
I've done this before. What level am I?
Intro/Fundamentals – You may be brand new and have never done this before, or you may be returning after recovering from an injury. If you have never done Classical Pilates, you may need to start here to learn the exercises. You will be working on Fundamental Movement Skills, Pre-Pilates exercises and your Basic 5 Mat exercises as well as the starting points on each apparatus. You'll learn what your core is and how to find it with each exercise.
Beginning –
At this point, you are ready for a little more challenge and have mastered your basic mat skills. You are developing your Ab 5's as well as Swan and Mermaid on the Mat. You are mastering your Footwork on Reformer as well as Stomach Massage Round, Short Box Round and Knee Stretches (among others) while exploring some of the more challenging exercises on the other equipment that is advancing you toward Intermediate level.
Intermediate –
You've mastered your Beginning level exercises and skills and are working with more speed and greater challenge. Range of motion increases as your ability to stabilize improves. You are working on mastering Short Spine Stretch, Teaser on all equipment and Mat as well as other exercises that challenge your balance and strength.
Advanced –
You've been doing this a while and are working with flow and transitions. You know the names of various exercises and possibly are also working with memorizing the order of the Mat and Reformer Series. You are working toward mastering the very challenging exercises like Tendon Stretch and Snake/Twist on the Reformer, as well as working with more difficult choreography and at an accelerated pace.
How often should I come in?
It is ideal to practice between 2-4x/week. We recognize that this may not be possible, so we encourage you to practice on your own at home or to utilize Pilates Anytime to assist your home practice. Many people choose to do 1-2 privates and 1-2 classes each week, once they understand the basics, in order to maintain a consistent practice.
What's the difference between Mat and Equipment classes?
We use traditional Pilates Mats, which are raised with side boxes, and use a foot strap and weighted bar. The apparatus you may use in an equipment class (aside from the Arcs and Barrels) uses spring resistance, which is unique in that the load increases and decreases as you move, creating two-way resistance. Aside from concentric muscle contraction, Pilates works with eccentric muscle contraction, where the muscle is contracting as it's lengthening. This has been shown to develop more strength more quickly and to encourage long lean muscles. We use the springs for feedback, to connect us together and to direct us into our center vs. pushing resistance away from us from superficial strength. We also use the feeling of spring compression to teach our bodies, especially the spine, how to decompress.
Pilates Privates
This is a great option if you are just starting out or if you've been doing this a while and prefer the greater level of supervision and detail that is tailored to your body. If you have previously recovered from injuries, privates are a great way to retrain and return to natural and efficient movement patterning, as your form is adjusted and perfected by your instructor.
Pilates Duets/Trios
Duets and Trios are a great option if you prefer a little bit more self-guidance and find having a fellow student motivating and inspiring. We can try to match you with someone who is at your level or you can come in as your own duet or trio.
Group classes
These are a great way to challenge yourself and to develop confidence in your ability to sense where you are in space and to integrate cues.

Lack of trust in humans : issues
With trust,you give a maximum approval and reserve that something is in place, that is progress. With trust, you can never doubt that anything good can be faltered and that is hope and promises. This is what lack of trust means_ uncertainty, unguaranteed , lying,deception,and hopelessness.
More bad effect of lack of trust in any affair is that it creates atmosphere of discomfort in a unit. How can anything be achievable in such environment I asked?? Trust on the other side will make you see and have everything the way it is without deceit.
Lack of trust is evidence of shaky foundation, and shaky foundation is not healthy for anything.it is an injurious abuse!!!

Posts Tagged 'Animal Kingdom'
DH was feeling better with motrin & sudafed for awhile but when it started to wear off he wanted hot green tea. Since the kids were on Kali River Rapids, we went to the Royal Anandapur Tea Company. If you like tea or chai, hot or cold this is the place to go. DH picked a special of the day, a Chinese green tea with peppermint. They took a big scoop of the loose tea leaves and made a disposable tea bag that hangs inside the cup. It was pretty neat the way they did that and it allows the tea to continue steeping. He was very happy with his tea, it warmed him up and made him feel better (for awhile anyways).
Since DH wasn't hungry but the kids & I were, we decided to go to Pizzafari for lunch. DD & DS both had the cheese pizza:
DS said it was pretty good and ate the whole thing (but says Planet Hollywoods was better) DD said it was better than Pizza Planet (which she despises) but not by much.
I decided to try the Hot Italian Style sandwich: Turkey, ham, Swiss and Provolone Cheese topped with Caesar salad and pesto marinated tomatoes.
This was a good sandwich. It had the hot & cold thing going for it. Bread was toasted and warm, the ham & turkey were hot with the cheese melted on it then it was topped with the cold ceasar salad & tomatoes. It came with the option of carrot sticks or potato chips. I did ask the Cast Member how many people choose the carrots and she said "not many at all"
All in all, it was a good lunch and they accept the DDE/TiW
After DD woke up it didn't look like the plans were going to go as expected. She still felt awful and said she couldn't take a full breath. On Wednesday her pediatrician had said she probably wouldn't need the inhaler by Saturday and here it is Monday and she can't breath . I called her Dr's office from our patio (btw, we all had trouble getting a cell signal in our villa) after telling the nurse everthing going on, she consulted with the DR and came back with "you're not going to like this, but he wants her to be seen and possibly have a chest x-ray. You probably should go to the ER or an Urgent Care center" She was right, I didn't like that idea. I was hoping they could just call in a script for more/better cough medicine. I also have experience with Orlando emergeny rooms & urgent care and it hasn't been good. So we called InRoomMD, told them what was happening and then the Dr called about 20 minutes later to schedule a time to come to our room. He had some appointments already booked for the afternoon, so we scheduled for him to come around 5pm.
In the mean time we relaxed in the room for awhile, reading & napping. Then DS & I left to go to Magic Kingdom to get his haircut at Harmony Barber Shop. We figured if there was a long wait at the barber shop we would just meet DH & DD at Animal Kingdom after she saw the Dr. DS & I got to the bus stop and a few minutes later we were on a bus headed to Magic Kingdom. Walked straight over to the barber shop, there were 2 people in there getting there hair cut and DS was next. Now ever since I had told him about BroganMc's trip report on the Disboards & Grandpa Mohawk (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1787982), he's wanted to come here and get one too. Penny & Michael were working and we started talking while they were finishing the other haircuts. I told them why DS wanted to get the mohawk and Penny wanted to know how we knew Grandpa Mohawk. Gotta love the Disboards and online friendships! Michael gave DS his mohawk, and I found myself telling him to go with the blue. Never thought I'd be telling someone to color my son's hair blue!!! DS didn't think he wanted the Pixie Dust, but Penny told him that Grandpa Mohawk allways gets the Pixie Dust so he needed it too! –I forgot to take the camera over to the barber shop, so here's the pic from when we got back to the room–
He got a great response from Cast Members as we were leaving and a few strange looks from families we walked past . Since it was about 4:30, we decided to just go back to the room. Caught a bus right away (and the bus driver loved his hair) and got back to our villa right before the Dr arrived.
Unfortunately at this point there was no way we were going to make our Advanced Dining Reservation at Yak & Yeti, we called and tried to push it back but were told there was nothing available. DH & DD ran out to the Walgreens to get her prescriptions and as soon as they got back we headed to Animal Kingdom. We called wdwdine (again)from the cell phone as we walked to the bus stop and they said there was nothing available at Animal Kingdom for the rest of the night. We arrived at AK a few minutes before 8 (regular park closing time) and went straight back to Yak & Yeti. DH explained that we hadn't been able to make it earlier for our Advanced Dining Reservation and they said no problem, it'd be a 15 minute wait. We went outside and got our Extra Magic Hour bracelets (right across from the restaurant & much much shorter lines than we'd seen elsewhere in the park) We must have gotten the last table they had available because everyone that came in after us was turned away.
Dinner at Yak & Yeti:
DH & I started with cocktails from the bar. I don't remember what it was called, but it was very very good!
DH had the Duck with Anandapur glaze–this was very good
I had the Crispy Honey Chicken–it was good. The tempura coating on the chicken was the best I've ever had! The honey sauce was allright, not as good as I expected but still good.
DD had the Shaoxing Steak & Shrimp–Wow! The skirt steak was incredible (I only got a tiny bite) so tender! The shrimp were very good as well
DS was not feeling very adventourus at this point, so he had the mini burger from the kids menu. It seemed to be a pretty good burger.
We were quite full after dinner and walked slowly over to Kali River Rapids. It was around a 15 minute wait. I'm the one that always gets soaked to the bone, not a dry spot on me. It was neat to do in the dark and for the very first time, I didn't get totally drenched I was pretty wet, but not like normal.
Next we headed over to Expedition Everest but the standby wait was 50 minutes. Fast Passes were gone and they didn't have the single rider line open. We've all been on it multiple times before, so we decided that we weren't waiting for it tonight. We started walking towards Dinoland and DD was fading fast. DS wanted to ride Dinosaur & Primevilwhirl, so I stayed with him & DH & DD went back to the room. It was 10pm by now and I wasn't sure we'd get both rides in. 30 minute wait for Dinosaur, but it moved pretty good. Had some great conversations in line, DS's mohawk was quite the conversation starter! Practically no wait for Primevilwhirl. DS & I love that! Rode with a Dad & daughter that had never been on before, we all laughed the whole way thru. We walked out of the park at 11pm and went to wait in line for the bus. It was packed! The whole bus shelter area was packed for every bus stop, there was barely a walkway left to get to the last bus stop by the time busses started showing up. It was very warm in there . Finally got a bus at 11:30pm, thankfully we were towards the front of the line, not everyone was able to get on.
We managed to do dinner & 3 rides in 3 hours. Not exactly what we had expected, but all in all it was a good night.
Next up: Tuesday is golf day
We had agreed to meet Dad & Jackie at the front of the park at 5:15pm, so we had time to go use our fast passes for Dinosaur. Good thing we didn't bring Dad on it, it is a lot more wild/bumpy than I remember. It would have really hurt his back. We had fun though! We decide to skip Kali River Rapids. It's one of our favorites, but the warning "You will get wet, you may get soaked" should read "you will get wet and Chelle will get soaked" I always end up being the one completely drenched– able to wring water out of my clothes for days drenched– on this ride. After Splash Mountain the night before, I just didn't want to do that again, and not before dinner at Boma. Maybe tonight, if we come back for Extra Magic Hours.
Time to meet Dad & Jackie. We're supposed to meet at the front of the park, just before the turnstyles. Don't see them…. Dad calls DH (not me?), they're out of the park by the Christmas tree. OK, off to Animal Kingdom Lodge. This is such a pretty hotel. Even better, they're having a wine & food tasting in the lobby. Ok, I didn't try the food ( a berry crumble sort of thing, maybe?) but the wine was very good! A South African Riessling. Our ADR is for 6:20 and it's around 5:20 now. Jackie has mentioned that she'd like to see Fantasmic at the Studios, her sister had told her about it. Well, if we can get seated early, they should have time to go over there for it. DH goes to check us in and ask if we can get in early. DS & I take Dad to see the savanah off the lobby. DH calls and says we'll have a table in 10-15 minutes. The rest of us make our way downstairs and just as we get there, it's time to be seated. I really wish I had skipped lunch, because I wasn't hungry enough to do justice on all that yummy food. Dad stuck to all the "safe, normal" food, Jackie tried a few things. The rest of us found our favorites and tried a few new things as well. DS mostly enjoys the strawberries. I have to say, those strawberries were huge and delicious! Time for the dessert table. So yummy! Love it all, and now I need to roll out of here after eating more than my fair share of Zebra Domes.
We stop in the gift shop on our way out, I look over and see Dad handing the kids money. Their Christmas present apparently. DD immediately buys a "Green is the new Black" t-shirt that she's had her eye on since before dinner. DS needs to think about what he wants. We send Dad & Jackie off on a bus to the studios and now I can relax a little. What do we want to do? Extra Magic Hours or head back to Boardwalk Villas? DD wants to go to the pool, but the main pool closes at 8pm and it's 7:20pm. We decide to go back to Animal Kingdom. DH has really been looking forward to riding Expedition Everest at night and DS is now very excited!
The temperature seems to have dropped a bit, and I didn't think to bring sweatshirts for the evening. DD is wearing her cute strapless Animal Kingdom dress that she bought last summer and is cold. She decides she wants to go back to the room. With orders to text when she gets to the busses, to the Boardwalk Villas and again when she gets to the room, we let her go. Time to have fun in the dark at Animal Kingdom.
Animal Kingdom looks so different in the dark, it's still beautiful, but in a different way. It's also very peaceful. The only thing we really want to do is Expedition Everest, so we make our way back there. Standby line is 20 minutes posted, only took about 10. Family behind us in line started playing with the bells in the queue, the girl and I decide Expedition Everest is a Christmas ride — there's snow, bells, the Yeti is also known as the Abominable (sp?) Snowman & he's in Rudolph's Christmas show, so this must be a Christmas ride! We then decide that we should sing Jingle Bells the whole way through the ride. When we get loaded into the "train", I'm in the back row with a single rider, DS is riding with DH and the other family is right in front of them. Off we go "Dashing through the snow, in a one horse open sleigh" Let me just say that it gets hard to sing when you start going backwards in the dark!!!! The view is amazing at night, we could see Epcot, and the Swan & Dolphin clear as can be. Absolutely beautiful! That was fun! So much so, that we got right back in line with our singing family This time we were in the front of the train, so 3 rides- front, middle and back. You can see a lot from the front when the train comes to the "broken track", we even joked about seeing DD walking from the Swan to the BW (she had been texting updates her whole way back) The view from the front row was great, but I liked the last row best for the ride experience. Now I'm tired, heart is pounding, but tired. Kali will have to wait till next trip. It's time to head "home".
It's hard to see in the dark, but Everest is behind DS
Up next: I love DVC
After such a late night, no one is moving fast this morning. Today is our day to see Animal Kingdom, Boma at Animal Kingdom Lodge for dinner (zebra domes!) and if we're up to it, EMH at AK. Expedition Everest in the dark? Terrifiying or Awesome?
We start the day with some bakery items brought back to the room for breakfast and a quick call with Dad to make plans. Dad & Jackie are at the Studios getting breakfast, they'll meet us around noon in front of Animal Kingdom. I haven't had enough coffee yet, breakfast at the studios? I planned all of the sitdown meals to make the best use of them and have our meal together. They must be having Counter Service somewhere??? At least they're learning how to get around, and sounds like they're having fun!
We meet up at Animal Kingdom and head in. Wow, it's feeling pretty crowded. We head over to Africa to get fast passes for the Killamanjaro Safari. This is the one thing that Dad learned about before the trip and has been really looking forward to. Oh Oh! Standby is 60 minutes and there's nothing on the Fast Pass board. DH goes over to the fast pass area to ask what's going on, and it turns out the machines broke right before they ran out of fast passes. The Cast Members were handwriting passes for everyone that was in the line, so DH managed to get one for our party of 6, after 2pm. Way to go honey! Oh, and since it was a handwritten pass, we were able to get fastpasses for Dinosaur. Now everyone is still tired from last night, we've walked to Africa, then to Dino Land, now we're talking about getting lunch so it won't be too close to our 6:20 Advanced Dining Reservation at Boma. Poor DS is starting to get a little frustrated. We've been in the park for an hour and haven't done anything. Allright, the four of us hop on Primevilwhirl real quick. He's a trooper, and always tries to please everyone else before himself so he's ok with lunch for now. Most of us want Flame Tree BBQ, ok, everyone but DS. So DH gives me his order and runs to Pizzafari for DS. Dad & Jackie order and take their food. I order while DD & DS find a table. I'm getting 3 Counter Service meals, entree, drink & dessert. It's on 2 trays and oh yeah, no lids at Animal Kingdom (to protect the Animals)! I quick call DD's cell, but she doesn't answer (she's good at calling, but answering is not her strong suit) Well, here we go. Somehow I manage to carry the tray with drinks & desserts in one hand and the meals in the other through the crowds. One very kind gentleman did offer to help, but at that point I was afraid if I tried to transfer it would be a disaster. I made it to the sauces & cutlery stand and DD showed up. Good girl! We grabbed utensils and straws. Straws? Whoa, they've got straws at Animal Kingdom now; they're cardboard. A little strange, but I liked it. With DD's help we get the food and drinks to the table (could they have picked one any farther away?!!) I had the smoked chicken, which was very good & and juicy. Not a big fan of their beans, and the corn muffin was a little dry. DD & DH had the ribs and loved them. Of course, DH wasn't back from pizzafari yet, so DS was hungry. His sister was nice and let him try a rib, and he liked it. I'm starting to think the kids name should be "Mikey" (anyone remember those Life Cereal ads?) DH did make it back, enjoyed his meal and DS enjoyed his pizza.
It's 2pm and with full tummies we decide to head over to the safari now, even though our fast passes for Dinosaur are good now. We walk back across the park again, but Dad is really happy, he can't wait to go on the safari. The safari was good, Dad was happy. We know it's much better in the morning, but hey we weren't moving in the morning. Now Dad wants to see the gorillas, ok, cool. We haven't gone on the Pangani Trail in years. DS is starting to look a little upset. It's almost 3pm and all we've done is Primevilwhirl, eat and ride the safari, so I can see his point. "Dad, why don't you & Jackie ride the train to Rafiki's Planet Watch, you'll really like that and we'll take DS to "do" something" Poor kid, at 10 it's hard to wait. Off we go towards Expedition Everest. Maybe if we walk slow I can see the Jingle Jungle Parade ? Nope this kid wasn't waiting for a parade, he wanted to ride. Expedition Everest here we come!
On our June trip, DH rode Expedition Everest by himself, single rider line to "check it out". DS had wanted to go, until the opportunity presented itself and he suddenly he "wasn't in the mood". This trip, we're all going to ride. The line isn't bad, and the queue is pretty cool. DS is getting a little nervous but DH tells him it's a lot like Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, but faster and smoother like Space Mountain.

So I have been the world's biggest slacker with blogging. And I will probably regret it, unfortunately. I have failed to document Cecie's 2nd year in words. I do still take photos and I am up to date with my photo books (hooray), but I don't have any way of remembering all the little things. I am cutting myself some slack, though. Starting and running a business is all consuming. I thought I was going to take some pictures a few times a month (if I was lucky) and not much was going to change. I rolled with it, however, and somehow this turned into a real thing with real clients and real work and a real studio and real equipment and real props, etc, etc, etc. So something HAD to give. And it was blogging.
I would love to say that is about to change, but let's face it. I am probably not going to be blogging like I once did. It is what it is. I DO, however, have some very important blog posts coming up and I WILL take the time to write because there are some experiences that I have to be able to go back and read about.
So here is the first of a few very important posts coming up.
We are having a baby.
A baby. A third child. Another person will be in our family.
No, I don't have a due date. No, I don't have morning sickness (woot!). No, I am not getting round in the middle (unless I keep at the Halloween candy with the same urgency as I have been for the past week).
So obviously I am not pregnant. But close enough! Our home study is in 2 days. Deep breath. 2 days. In 2 days, as long as everything goes well, we will start "the wait." From that point on our life is in limbo. It could be a few days, a few weeks, a few months, or even a few years before we have that third baby in our arms. Bryan seems to think it is going to happen really quickly. I love that he thinks we are so marketable. I am preparing myself for a long wait, though. I am okay with there being more space between Cecie and Baby 3, but the unknowns with this kind of adoption makes me want it to just happen right away so I don't have to think about it.
I don't know how this is all going to shake out. How will this affect my business? Our family? Our finances? Who knows. All I know is that we are going for it. We are giving our kids another sibling and I cannot freaking wait to see what she looks like, to name her, to know her birthday, to know where she was born, etc. I know things will be hard, but we will get through it.
I'll keep you posted ;)

Enjoyed some beautiful scenary and riding on our last days in Guatemala. We were up in the highlands where the weather was fresh. We left Antigua and headed NW towards the border and to San Cristobal in Mexico. It was too far in one day so we night-stopped in Huehuetenango - a local market town in the mountains - a bustling place, particularly on the Monday morning as we were trying to navigate our way down the narrow one way streets to head back onto the highway - the market just sprawled itself out onto the surrounding streets so we were dodging fruit & veg stalls, hawkers with candy or T-shirts and a few stray turkeys escaping their baskets only to be hustled back by old women in traditional dress. It was a colourful, hectic place and I think we were the only gringos in town!
The roads were spectacular. A lot of roadworks going on, though that was never a problem for us on the bike - we just got waved through. That doesn't mean it's safe though - you're on your own picking your way through the JCB's and diggers, hoping that the guy doesn't miss the truck and drop a ton of dirt on top of you! It was interesting - and more so once we started racing the chicken buses...The drivers obviously missed out on their calling for Grand Prix driving and so work the buses in the highlands of Guatemala instead. Although we were generally faster, we were getting overtaken by these buses on any dangerous bits that we slowed down for - and especially through the roadworks where they have no regard for the vehicle or it's suspension and whizz past us! The only time we could nip past was when they slowed to drop people off or pick up - and even then they didn't come to a halt - for the poor woman with a laden basket it was a running stop as she flung herself off and trotted off down the hill, basket balanced expertly on the top of her head, chicken tucked under one arm!
It's not just roadworks - wandering pigs, chickens, cows and goats; a fair splattering of local kids begging for money or trying to sell us fruit or woven scarves and bracelets, old men pedalling ice-cream carts (in the middle of nowhere?!), and frail old ladies carrying the largest bundle of firewood on their heads when they should be at home knitting in front of the fire with a nice cup of cocoa.
It's crazy stuff, but so 'Guatemala', away from the tourism of the big city; where we were constantly stared at with curious fascination - after all I guess it's not every day they see a heavily laden bright red sportsbike being riden 2-up by a couple of strange looking gringos in the middle of the highlands!! Must be mad....

The Actual Housewives of Atlanta have a variety of atttude, however have they got some huge cash? Regardless of the cars, homes, and the seemingly endless bragging about designer labels, it seems that a number of the Real Housewives of Atlanta aren't precisely on easy street. Discover out beneath who can justify the 'tude, and who can't. I've tried on numerous pairs of jeans in my lifetime and I can tell you that I constantly get the slimmer, more streamlined look with a boot lower, low rider fashion. They admittedly don't make my legs look longer, however they do make my higher body look a bit longer and so they tend to make the butt look nice. Just make sure that you do a bit of bending and stretching before you purchase to just remember to have simply the proper fit: Accentuating your beautiful hips is nice, but showing your thong and/ or butt crack is simply plain icky. Especially when you're previous like me. At my age, the tramp stamp you used to indicate off no longer looks like the tight, bright piece of art work it once was. Now it appears to be like more like somebody tossed a bucket of paint at your bottom and it is making a determined attempt to flee south of the border!
Actually, really nice lens. I like the Victorian times, certainly one of my goals is to spend Christmas in London, enjoying the Dickens Faires there. I discovered so much from … Read More

Shares of Santa Clara semiconductor bellwether Advanced Micro Devices jumped in after-hours trading last night on news of a firm earnings beat with net revenue of 1.65 billion, net income of $81 million and diluted EPS of $0.08. On a non-GAAP basis, net income dropped in at $121 million with $0.11 EPS. The growth marks a 23 percent sequential quarterly gain and a very healthy 40 percent gainer year-on-year. AMD attributes market share gains, versus its primary competitor Intel, with respect to its new successful line of Ryzen and EPYC processor products in various applications from the desktop, to laptops and the data center. "The first quarter was an outstanding start to 2018 with 40 percent year-over-year revenue growth," proclaimed Dr. Lisa Su, AMD president and CEO. "PC, gaming and datacenter adoption of our new, high-performance products continues to accelerate. We are excited about our long-term roadmaps and focused on delivering sustained revenue growth and profitability."
AMD recently also launched a tuned and optimized version of its 2nd Generation Ryzen processors to a largely positive reception in the tech press, with sites like HotHardware noting, "AMD's got another winner on their hands with the 2nd Generation Ryzen 2000 series. These processors offer better performance, more features, and higher overclocks than their predecessors, they compete very well in their respective product classes, and they're compelling values to boot."
On the data center server and workstation side of things for AMD's EPYC processor platform, the gestation period for new business is a little longer but there are already signs of major inroads being made. Cray, a long time big name in supercomputing, and historically largely based on Intel architecture, announced it would be offering AMD EPYC based solutions for the High Performance Computing (HPC) market.
Principal Analyst Patrick Moorhead of Moor Insights And Strategy notes the following regarding AMD's earnings announcement: "AMD had a blowout revenue quarter, beating guidance and growing 40% year on year which would make it the third straight quarter of double digit YoY revenue growth. The growth was led by sales of AMD's Ryzen client CPU and APU product line in desktops and notebooks. I expect AMD to show even more gains next quarter based on channel fill of second generation Ryzen desktop CPU, increased distribution of Ryzen mobile notebooks and the continued ramp of EPYC server deployments."
In terms of its graphics business, AMD also saw growth attributed partly to demand from the cryptocurrency market, though AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su was quick point out revenue gains from new Radeon products as well, taking emphasis away from cryptocurrency's contribution to the company's balance sheet.
Shares of AMD are up over 11% on the day thus far.
Disclosure: I currently maintain small positions in both AMD and one of its primary competitors, NVIDIA but these in no way affect my reporting on either company or its products.

Afghan women: without their presence peace process is incomplete
Reporter: Shaker Sangi
A number of Afghan women at the Afghan Women's Network Conference have announced the importance of their achievements over the past 19 years to a new round of peace talks. The Afghan Women's Partnership Declaration states that peace requires a widespread participation of women, and Afghan women are demanding for a stable and justly peace.
Women in the country say that the main victims were the four decades of war, especially during the time of the wars and the time of the Taliban government, and their basic rights, such as education, health services and political, economic and social participation, they were deprived. Achievements are very important for women in the country since 2001, and they say: "Afghan women do not want to and do not allow victims of government and international community, political parties, and factions to oppose the …Women will not allow any group to undermine their achievements, participations and rights.

Bonnie: It's true. Outfitted in these awkward but useful silicone mitts you can carefully turn meat or chicken on the grill without getting burned. I know, as I've tried it.The mitt maker also claims that you can reach into a pot of boiling water or vat of ready-to-fry oil without getting burned (although why you'd want to do that is beyond me). I didn't try that.
I'm always sporting a big smile at the ease—and fun—of grabbing and turning racks of ribs while wearing these mitts. That's something I do whenever Eric's home.
"Ribs," Eric always replies when asked what I should make when he's home. He never cares what I serve with it; he's just happy with ribs, with meat that falls off as you pick up a bone.
To have your rib meat do so, prepare the racks before cooking. Use baby backs for sure. Carefully peel (yes peel) the thin papery membrane along the underside using your fingers or a sharp knife. (My preference is my boning knife.) Sometimes the membrane comes off easily; other times it's a more of a struggle. But removing it is key to the meat falling off the bone.
The next step is truly optional. Rub the racks with a blend of brown sugar, ground cumin, dry mustard, salt and peppers (chili, black, cayenne, paprika) and let them stand on the counter for 20 minutes, refrigerate for longer or just bake right away. Or just season with salt, pepper and any favorite seasonings.
Place the racks in a pan with deep sides, large enough to hold the ribs in a single layer, meat side up. Depending on the number of racks, you might need two pans.
Cover the pans with foil and either bake at 250-degrees F in the oven or cook over indirect heat on the grill for at least 3 hours. Then slather them with your favorite BBQ sauce and bake or grill (still over indirect heat) another 30 minutes.
Using the silicone mitts, I grab the ribs carefully so not to burn my unprotected skin and also not to let the meat fall off the bones in transit. And when I'm done, I toss them into the dishwasher with all the sticky dinner plates.
Bryan: I'm from a food family and restaurant background, so flaunting my 'hot hands' is just par for the course. Working kitchens for many years gives me the feeling, though sometimes not the reality, that I can claim any food from the fire sans mitts. In my years now, out of the commercial kitchen, I stick to using mitts for the oven (the grill is still my playground). Though an awkward looking tool, the Orka gloves are unique in their ability to be washed while remaining impenetrable to the perils of the scorching, scalding kitchen.
Eric: I still am leery every time I put on these gloves, but after a few years of use I can easily say that as awkward as they look—with their somewhat neon tinge—they are a durable pair of gloves that work in the oven, on the grill and as a nice chew toy for a small dog*.
*We are not suggesting this. It's just Eric's humor.

Since my latest post, "God Is Not Creating Your Problems" I've received a lot of comments. Some positive, some negative, some indifferent and some very emotional. First of all I want to say that I in no way am intending to hurt feelings. I'm also not trying to force my point of view on anyone, or trying to debate people. At the end of the day, if you believe and accept Jesus, you're going to Heaven. Period. I just believe the Body of Christ is largely missing out on some wonderful things God provided for us through the life, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. I also believe we're greatly misunderstanding the nature of God and His Word.
God Is Not Creating Your Problems as well as this post, are not intended for anything other than expressing a different point of view. It's for those looking for answers that they can't find. It is not for debating or "making" anyone agree with me. I just want to answer some of the questions that came up because of this post. I said in my original post to please study this all out for yourself. Do not just take my word for it. Take what I say and find out if it all lines up with the Word for yourself.
"…He who has ears to hear, let him hear!" Mark 4:9
"These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so. Therefore many of them believed, and also not a few of the Greeks, prominent women as well as men." Acts 11-12
What about the sovereignty of God?
God turned over a lot of that power to man in the garden of Eden. In Genesis 1:26-28, God gave mankind dominion over the earth, and all things in the earth. Dominion means sovereignty. So, God turned that sovereignty over to man, essentially limiting Himself. Again in Psalm 115:16, we see that earth belongs to man. God gave us His word when He gave man dominion, and according to Psalm 89:34, He will not go back on His word.
Man also was given free will and God will not override the will of man. That would make God unjust.
What about Job?
Job did not have a covenant with God. Satan had total authority of Job whereas God did not. Also, if you read in Job 42, God tells him that he spoke wrongly of Him (vs. 7), but instead of cursing Job, or putting more hardship on him, God blessed Job! In verse 10-12 it says that God restored all that was lost to Job and blessed him in his latter days more than his beginning! That's without a covenant, so now that we have an even better covenant (Hebrews 8:6) God is most definitely not afflicting us with hardship, grief or loss. Colossians 1:12-13 says, "Giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love." There's been a change. If by the cross of Jesus we've been moved out of darkness, then that means darkness must not be of not of God.
If God was allowing bad things to happen to us, then we would be wrong to ever go to the doctor. We would be wrong to ever fight against temptation since God must be bringing into our lives for our betterment. We would be wrong to protect our children from harm if God is trying to show them something. Could you imagine watching your child run into the street in front of a car and just sitting by so they learn to not do it again? Could you imagine injecting your child with a disease so that they learn to trust in God? Could you imagine your own mom or dad allowing someone to rape you so that you learn to forgive others?
Acts 10:38 says that Jesus went about healing ALL that were oppressed by the DEVIL. I said this in my original post, but I'm going to repeat it… if God's will for us is to sometimes go through bad things in order to allow something better to come of it, then Jesus was totally going against God's will. Jesus never afflicted pain, grief, or refused to heal someone. "And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, "Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean." Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, "I am willing; be cleansed." Immediately his leprosy was cleansed." Matthew 8:2-3.
The only time Jesus did not heal someone or work miracles was due to someone(s) unbelief (Matthew 13:58). So, it's God's will for all to be healed, delivered from the devil, darkness, etc., however, our own unbelief can hinder it from happening.
Romans 5:6-11, "For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation." Verse 9 says that we have been saved from wrath and verse 10 says we're no longer enemies, but reconciled and saved.
James 1:13-18, "Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death. Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures."
Acts 26:18, "To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me."
Luke 9:56, "For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them."
I believe with all my heart that God has only good intentions for us and that He would never do anything to cause us harm. He is a good father. Good fathers don't abuse their children. I know sometimes we find peace in believing that God is doing something good in the midst of all the pain, but it's so much sweeter to recognize that Jesus already won the battle for us and that we have the victory. We can stand up and believe His Word and rest in His peace and goodness. The peace I have knowing that God is not afflicting me, but instead helping me walk out the victory is much greater than believing God would allow it to happen for something good to out of it.

Are those solid(ish) walls that you can poke pins into? They look so wonderfully smooth and the quilts seem to hang invisibly. I love it!

Love seeing how they look in each new venue! Thanks for sheparding our flock, Brenda.

The walls are wooden partitions covered in black carpet. The quilts are secured with T-pins so they sit flat and (almost!) in alignment. The black background really shows off the quilts:-)

I visit the Quilt and Craft Fair yesterday and really enjoyed your exhibition. Your quilts look wonderful! Thank you all for showing them it's so much better than seeing them in "real life" on a page or the screen.I'll now keep and eye on your blogs.
- September 11, 2010 at 12:43 AM
I too visited the Craft and Quilt Show in Hamilton today and was really amazed at all the little masterpieces that the broup of 12 have come up with. Brenda was a great hostess and I think I may just have been tempted to try a 12by12 myself although the results will not be nearly as good as yours. Keep up the challenges, I look forward to following your journey over the next couple of years!
