- Yoongi's point of view - Hoseok has been pissed at me for over a week. It's completely warranted, and very noticeable. I'm surprised he can stand to be in the same room with me. Tae walks in and sits by Hoseok on the couch. He pulls one of his ear buds out. "What ya listening to?" "Oh. It's this rap album from the nineties Boram told me about." "She likes rap?" He looks at me coldly. "Yeah." Tae unplugs his headphones. "Play it." "I don't think you'd like it." I'm curious about what she likes. "What's it called? Who's it by?" He gives me another icy stare. "It's The Chronic by Dr. Dre. It's his first solo album." "Will you play some?" Tae wiggles around. "Yeah play some, it's not hard. Just press a button." "Fine." He plays a song. I listen for a minute. I dont understand much English, but I know enough to know they're talking about things that are pretty explicit. "What song is this?" "It's called Fuck Wit Dre Day." "She likes stuff like this?" "Yeah. She's been listening to these things since she was a child." "A child!" Hoseok relaxes a little and looks less irritated. "That's what I said when she told me. But she said her mom took a liking to it when they lived in Long Beach, California. So she's pretty much been around this, Tupac, and Snoop Dogg since she was born." She's so interesting. I'd have never guessed she'd like something like this and she's been listening to things this hard since she was little. She was probably bobbing her head to this before she even started school. That's so cool. "You're right Hoseok. I don't like that." Tae plugs the headphones back into the phone. "I told you so." He puts his ear buds back in. The Chronic, well, if it's good then it wouldn't hurt to listen to it. I should know more old school rap. ... Oh wow. I wonder if Hoseok looked up translations of the lyrics for some of these tracks. This is...violent, sexual, and there's so much about drugs and gangs. It sounds good, but damn. That's not what I'd have thought such a sweet girl would listen to. There's so much to her. I wish I could ask her about what she likes myself instead of over hearing it. I wish I could text her or something. Tae! He always knows the pass number for our phones! I'd just have to ask him for it and wait till Hoseok leaves his phone somewhere. I go find Tae. "Hey kid. What are you up to?" "Oh. Just goofing around on my phone. What's up?" "Nothing really. Speaking of phones, you always know the pass numbers to our phones right?" He looks at me for a few seconds and looks back to his phone. "That's neither here, nor there." "That barely made sense and I know you do." "That's classified information." I'll play along. "How do I get this information declassified?" He holds out his hand without looking. What a brat. "How much?" "Depends on whose code." God this is unsettling. "Hoseok's." He clamps his hand shut. "I don't release that information anymore. His info is extremely confidential." "Come on, help me out here." He looks at me. "Why do you want it so bad? You've never wanted anything like this." "Isn't this the type of situation where the statement "no questions asked" is typically applied." He narrows his eyes. "True. I don't like to involve myself. Regardless, it's not going to happen." "Everyone has a price Tae. What's yours?" "What's the most you'll pay?" I hold some cash in front of his face. He snatches it up and counts it. He shrugs. "Good enough I guess. You're cheap though." "Tell me what it is." "8196." "Do you think he'll change it between now and tommorow?" "Tell you what. Business has been slow, so I'll give you a deal. If he changes it before you get a chance, then I'll tell you the new one as soon as I find out." "You're going to make a great underhanded business man someday. Keep this all to yourself or I'll make sure you regret it. Got it?" "Yes sir." Alright. Maybe I'll just wait until he goes to bed. That'd probably be the best time. ... Well no turning back now. I've got the phone in my hand. I'm standing in the hall, contemplating whether I really should go through his phone. I think my soul was permanently tarnished the moment I made a deal with that devil. No use in trying to try to redeem myself now. Alright, 8196. Open. Contacts. Boram. I pull out my phone and save the number into my contacts. Okay. That's all I wanted. I want to snoop though. I've already broken about every rule in the bro code. At this point I'll just toss it out completely. I sit down on the floor. I could be a while so I'll get comfortable. Texts? Sure I'll start with that. Wait. There's no texts? Does he delete them every night? Well, fuck. What's he got to hide? Oh...I bet they were talking dirty earlier or something. He's lucky. Fine. Pictures. Oh wow, she's got her own album. Ah, selfies. Lots of them. She's so cute. I'll send some to my phone. That's fucked Yoongi! You shouldn't be doing any of this, it's all fucked! I can't help it though. I can't have her and it makes me want her more than I already do. But what would I even need them for! I can't set it as a background like she's my girlfriend. Just having them to look at is creepy, isn't it? Yes it is. However, I've been being a creep this whole time anyways. Let's see. Scroll, scroll, scroll. So many selfies. I gasp. Whoa, full body shot! That's! Oh my god! She's fucking stacked, those have got to be at least double D's! Damn, I never saw her body! Lots of curves and in all the right places. I bite my lip. The things I'd do to her, they'd be so nasty. She'd look so sexy under me. Fuck, she'd look even better on top though. I bet she'd feel amazing either way. I bet she can work it from any position. She's got clothes on, but this is more than enough for me. I'll send just that one. That's not as bad right? If I only take one? Sent. Delete the message. Alright, I feel like I lost enough of my morality tonight, so I need to put this back. I leave his room and walk out to the main room. I lay on the couch since everyone's either asleep or in their room. How do I text her. There's no good way to do this. I'd have to lie and say he gave me her number. But she'll probably ask him if he really did and I'll be fucked. Well, I just want to talk with her. It's not like I want anything from her. I'll just do it. "Hi Boram" I didn't say who it is. I'm not sneaky and I'm sure everyone knows this trick; but if she responds to that but ignores it once she knows it's me, then she obviously doesn't want to talk. "Who's this?" I just realized I'm texting in Korean. I wonder how often she gets texts in Korean. She probably knows it's one of us. "Is this Taehyung?" Why the hell would it be him? "No, why would it be?" "He snoops in Hoseok's phone and texts me randomly now and then. I know it's someone from the group now though. Namjoon?" "No." "...Yoongi." That doesn't look very welcoming. "Um yeah" "Why do you have my number? Do you need something?" "I just wanted to talk" Shit. She stopped responding. It's been like ten minutes. I scared her. She must think I'm such a stalker. Actually, I kind of am. "About what?" Yes! She texted back! "Music" Good cover. "Music?" "Yeah. Hoseok played a song earlier and said it was one that you showed him. I liked it and was wondering if you knew anymore that were good" "Depends on what he showed you. If you liked it, I can tell you some that are similar in style" "Fuck Wit Dre Day" "That's off The Chronic album, that's a great one! You should listen to all of it!" "I already looked it up, it was really good. I never would have thought you'd like music like that" "Born and raised on it" "That's so cool that you grew up listening to things like that" "I guess. Most people seem to think it's pretty terrible for a child to hear things like that" "Wouldn't most of it go over their head?" "Exactly!" "I'm sure your parents told you that what they talk about was bad and you shouldn't do what they do or repeat it" "Finally! Someone who understands that a kid can hear inappropriate things but still behave" "It's very true, parents teach kids, not music" "You read my mind" This is going so smoothly. I knew we'd get along. "So what music would you recommend?" "Hmmmmm..." That's cute. She's thinking. "Alright, I'd say you'd probably like Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg. If you haven't heard it then I highly recommend you take some notes because it's listed as one of the most influential rap albums" "I will lol I might not be able to use the style as inspiration for an album track but I could always use some inspiration for my mixtape" "Mixtape? When will you be dropping that?" "It's not finished yet so it could be a while" "How many years have you been working on it" "Several haha" "Do you have any finished songs?" "Yeah a few" "...no I shouldn't bug you. You said I bother you too much" "No, no what is it?" "It's rude of me to even ask, so don't worry about it" "Just tell me!" "Well, if you insist. Could I be so bold as to ask if I could hear one?" She wants to hear my music! I shouldn't, that's not a good idea. "I shouldn't" "I understand! It was rude to ask! Sorry" Well, it's not like she'd do anything. "Well, I wouldn't feel comfortable sharing it online but if you called me I could play some for you" She's calling! Alright, calm down. "Hello?" "Hi! I'd love to hear it!" "It won't sound very good over the phone you know." "I'm well aware." "Okay. Well I have to go turn on the computer still, you didn't have to call me so soon." "Well hurry up!" "Be grateful! I'm doing you a favor, you know how many people have heard this?" "The guys?" "No one. I'll play you some that I haven't played for anyone yet." "You don't have to do that!" "No, I want to. You've got more of a background with rap than I do apparently, as far as hearing more of it. So I'd like to know what you think." "I don't know new school." "You don't listen to rap anymore?" I sit down and turn on the computer. "I do, but the newest album I know is College Dropout. Back when Kanye was still fun to listen to. I just re-listen to old stuff." "Wow. You're behind on the times." "If it was interesting, I'd listen to the new stuff, but for the most part it's not. Every song says the same shit. It's pointless. I mean at least back in the day, they may have had a lot of the same themes or ideas, but the beats sounded different and it was actually creative and original to every individual rapper. Each rapper had a style that was their own. It's not as common these days. Not to mention the verses weren't repeated twice and a chorus three times." "There's that analytical mind of yours at work." "I have my opinions about things and generally they're pretty thorough opinions." "I wouldn't expect any less." "Anyway. Like I said, I won't be able to have a lot of elaborate criticisms; because I've listened to a lot of your guys' music and I like it, but I'm not sure if yours will sound the same. I don't know what sound you're going for." "Fine, good God. Just tell me if you like it or not then, simple enough? Wait! You know what would be better?" "What?" "Can you use your computer right now?" "I suppose, why?" "Do you want to turn on video? That way I can actually see your reaction. You can't lie and say it's good if I can see it on your face that you hate it." Shit, she's not saying anything. "You don't have to, I was just throwing it out there as an idea." "If it's strictly business, then I can. Due to the fact that this entire conversation has been about only music." "Got it. Just about music, no worries." "Alright I'll turn it on and I'll let you know when it's ready." "Okay." This is amazing. I can't believe we're talking this much. I even get to talk on video with her. Thank you God for making Tae a sneaky brat. "Ready." "Alright. I'll hang up then." She laughs. "See you in a second." "Yep bye." I hang up. I'm about to enter the chat when I remember I probably look like hell. Damn it! What a great idea you had. I look at myself with the front camera on my phone. Well, I don't look awful? I'll put my hood up and call it good. Enter. "Hey." She looks so cute. I'm so happy I can see her. I never thought these songs would help me out with something like this. "Hi. Is the song ready?" "You're impatient." "You took like five minutes after you hung up to get on here. I assumed you'd have it ready." "You assumed wrong." "Hurry up then." "Don't be pushy. There. Ready?" "Oh wait!" She gets up and walks over to a table behind her, looking for something. That body. Damn, it's even better in motion. She's got tight pants and a tank top on, everything she's wearing is tight. American girls are built so different. Must be something in the water. Please, never find whatever you're looking for. Shit, I'm staring. If she turns around and sees that I'm sitting here drooling over her, I'll look like a total creep. It's impossible to look away though, she's absolutely gorgeous. Not just her body either, she just carries herself and moves so beautifully. Ah, no, no! Calm down, don't get yourself excited over that! I talk under my breath. "Two times thirty is sixty. Seventy dived by two is thirty-five. The square root of two hundred and twenty-five is fifteen." "Found them!" She walks back and sits down. "Found what?" "Headphones. The quality is already going to be diminished by being picked up by a microphone, so I might as well not ruin it more by putting it through shitty computer speakers." She cares so much about this. "By the way, were you just doing math equations out loud?" She heard that? "Keeps the mind sharp." "Makes sense. Kind of." "Okay, okay. Just tell me when to press play." "I feel so special getting to be the first one to hear it." I'm way too close to blushing. "Okay. Press play." Moment of truth. I press play and I don't quite stare at her, but I told her I'd want to see her reaction so she knows I'd be watching her a little. I know which parts I want to see her react to. So I don't have to stare. Generally, girls always just have huge smiles on their faces and love every part of new songs. I look up. She's not smiling. Her eyes are closed and she looks like she's actually listening. She's even bobbing her a little, that's good, at least the beat is decent. She's taking this more seriously than I thought she would. Now I'm getting self-conscious. I don't want her to think it's bad. If all she listens to is the classic old-school albums, then she'll probably hate it. It's almost over. Fifteen seconds has never felt so long. It ends. "So how was it?" She leans back and looks like she's thinking. I'm nervous, I thought she was just going to say if it was good or bad! "Well, it had a good tempo, perfect for the speed you were rapping. The music was unique, in a good way. Your lyrics were well thought out, creative. Now, the big question is how was your delivery of the lyrics." She's got me on edge. "Be honest. It's not too late to change it obviously. If it's fatally flawed I'd like to know." She sighs. "If you want me to be honest, I think you were too harsh sounding for the lyrics. The harshness didn't match the music either. In comparison to every other component to the song, you were just too angsty." She was actually honest. I didn't think she'd actually say something was bad. "I wasn't trying to be mean! You said be honest! I thought you were actually asking me to be critical!" "No it's okay. I'll have to reevaluate it a bit. If I change it I'll run it past you again." She smiles brightly. "That'd be nice. Overall it really was a great song." "Thanks. I should go though." "I thought you said I'd get to hear a couple?" "Do you really want to hear them?" "I asked to, didn't I?" She's such a smart mouth. "I guess you did. Alright one more, then I need to go." "Yep." ... "I liked that one. It was great. Like, all of it. Everything matched and flowed well. That style really works for you. I obviously don't know your music perfectly, but from the sound of this, I think that'd be a good personal style for you. Keep that in mind for the future." She laughs. I laugh. "I'll do that. I'm glad you liked that one. At least I'm not a complete failure." "I wouldn't call you any sort of a failure, complete or otherwise. You're very well accomplished for your age." I smile, that's a really nice compliment. "Thank you. Wait, do you even know how old I am?" "I don't know, 19. Maybe close to 20." "I look that young! I'm 23!" "I'm sorry! You look boyish, so I had no idea! But hey, I'm the same age. God, if anyone's a failure, it's me." She laughs. "Why would you be a failure?" She waves me off. "Ah, nothing. It was a joke." "Oh. Okay." "You have to go, right?" "Yeah." "I'll talk to you again some other time then." "Sure." Be cool, don't look too excited. "Bye, then." "Bye." She hangs up and I close the screen. That was unbelievable. I didn't think I'd ever get the chance to talk with her that much. She said she liked my music and that I had style. Coming from her that means alot. She took me seriously enough to actually critique it too. She's so legit. I think I just managed to screw myself over worse than I already was though. This is only going to make it harder for me to sit on the sidelines watching their relationship flourish. All in all though, I think it was worth it.

The fine folks at LEGO were kind enough to send me a copy of the gorgeous new Caterham 7 Ideas set, and I want to build it with YOU! We don't see many of these cool cars here in the states (unless you hang out in Beverly Hills or know Simon Cowell) so they're extra exotic here. I can't wait to build it!

By Jaclyn Munson
Someone asked me recently how I became a writer. I'm always curious about why people ask me this rather than why I became a writer- specifically, a feminist writer. I didn't wake up one day and decide to make equality and reproductive access a priority. This has been marinating for a long time and after suffering from anorexia, enduring two emotionally abusive relationships with ex-boyfriends and being sexually harassed by my former boss and other male colleagues, I needed a space to empower myself. Onward and F-Word came not long after I reported my former boss's sexual harassment to HR and was asked, "well, what do you want us to do about it?" and right before I left that job for another, where I now work with a bunch of really badass women.
I had wrongly assumed that people would agree with what I would go on to write and would support or at the very least, respect, my work. Having been through some pretty traumatic experiences, some of which I attribute to patriarchal oppression, one would think I'd be prepared for opposition. I expected to be trolled on social media platforms by fringe pro-life advocates or MRAs (I am, and it's annoying) but never expected it to come from my own microsystem.
Shortly after launching my blog and getting published a few times, I was having dinner with some girlfriends and lamented over dating issues. I'm the first one to admit that I'm picky but in relationships, you kind of have to be. We should have expectations, right? It's how we sustain our own emotional stability and make sure we're dating someone who recognizes our self-worth. For me, I expect to be in a relationship that is gender equal and could not, under any circumstances, be with someone who did not support a women's right to choose. I will only date someone who is pro-choice. I'm not asking to date an activist because this work isn't for everyone but you've got to be down with reproductive rights, which is a huge part of my life. Fin.
"You really need to tone down this feminist stuff if you want to get a boyfriend," my friend said. She wasn't the first to say this and hasn't been the last since she did.
Not only was the insinuation that I can't get a boyfriend unless I'm more submissive or accommodating of the very systems ('systems' being the idea that women shouldn't be too opinionated or they'll never get a boyfriend. Clutch your pearls, folks) I am fighting against offensive, but calling it 'feminist stuff' was unnerving. This 'stuff' has helped women make more money at work (thanks, Lily Ledbetter!). It has allowed women to enter the workforce. It has helped women vote. It extended the right of privacy to include a right to an abortion. It has literally allowed women to stand in the spaces we are in today. Hamburger Helper is 'stuff.' My garbage is filled with 'stuff.' Feminism is not stuff. While this work involves challenging and disrupting the entire foundation upon which our social, economic and political systems were founded, it is necessary, and I can't quite understand people who demean those trying to work to make the world better.
Now, I'm well aware I can be a difficult person to have a conversation with, relative to most women my age. I am hyper-sensitive to racist and sexist jokes (they're still not funny! Find some new material), I am a political nerd and my favorite water-cooler discussions involve advances in good faith (and good policy) legislation and who's ass is getting canned next in the Christie bridge debacle. I've found a great group of friends who also have similar interests and that community is so, so important to me. It's necessary to have people in your life that are on the same page as you.
But, people have been turned off by me- specifically, people who have known me for a long time and who have just recently become aware of my politics. I have been told I'm "polarizing," "different," "too caught up in my writing" and that my work in women's rights is a "whirlwind passion," something the accuser equated with my short-lived attempt at veganism. Because, you know, trying not to eat cheese is the same thing as advocating for equality. Yet, it's these same people who are offended by my work that refer to it as 'stuff.' These are the same people who suggest I change my personality and interests so I can get a boyfriend, as if conquering the world of dating is the most important thing I will ever do. These are the same people who refuse to challenge the structures around them or recognize their own privilege and action perpetuate the inequality that exists today. These are also the same people who exist as a reminder about why feminism exists, too.
There is nothing popular, trendy or comfortable about what I do. But I'm not here to make people comfortable- comfort and stability for the majority are what have perpetuated oppression in the minority. It is my belief that because I have energy to do this work, that I am obligated to do it. I believe in it. I won't apologize for having a voice, and I certainly won't apologize for using it.

England bowled Australia out for just 214 before surviving two mini batting collapses to record a three-wicket win in the opening ODI of the five-match series.
The spin bowling duo of Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid did the bulk of the damage with the ball, sharing five wickets and bowling with impressive discipline. England bowled 138 balls of spin and in only two matches against Australia have they bowled more. However, both of those matches were in 2018, showing that Eoin Morgan has recognised Australia's substantial weakness when facing spin, and are targeting it.
A fourth-wicket stand of 115 between Joe Root (50) and Eoin Morgan (69) kept England in control during the chase.
The pair fell within four overs of each other, with Jos Buttler dismissed in between, to give Australia a glimmer of hope but that soon faded and David Willey and Liam Plunkett saw England home with six overs to spare at the Oval.
England thus continued their recent dominance over Australia in ODI cricket, this was their eighth win in the last ten matches against them
The two sides now move to Cardiff for the second of the five matches in the series this Saturday.
Outright prices are England 4/7 Australia 7/4. Cardiff is generally a good batting wicket and shouldn't take the spin the Oval wicket didand therefore Australia at 7/4 might be seen as some value. However this is a much weakened side minus their two best batsmen and three best bowlers and England are a formidable outfit
England should win at 4/7

First, so what is ADHD?
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a

What ingredients are needed for a great cup of coffee? Before making your next coffee, think about the different options. Keep reading to learn what makes great coffee.
The best coffee typically comes from a coffee press. Instant coffee is over-processed and tends to taste awful, while whole bean coffee offers the best aroma and flavor. When you grind it yourself fresh, you'll be amazed at the difference. Using a press brings out all the best notes, too!
Buy whole coffee beans and grind the coffee yourself. Coffee that is freshly ground is much more flavorful and aromatic than pre-ground coffee. Each day, only grind the amount of coffee that you need for that day. If you have any extra, place the leftover grinds in an airtight container in the fridge.
Do you think the coffee that comes from your machine could taste better? Your coffee will taste better if you first let the machine brew just water while it heats up. After you've heated the pot of water, dump it and make your coffee. This is also a good way to clean your machine.
Do you enjoy strong coffee? You should try using a French press instead of a drip machine. Pressing the coffee means more oil will end up in your beverage instead of being retained by the filter of your coffee machine. You will find that pressed coffee has more flavor and contains more caffeine.
While it can be expensive to buy coffee at a specialty shop, it is nice to treat yourself from time to time. There are many wonderful choices, and you may give yourself a topping of chocolate curls or whipped cream, or simply have an espresso that is full of froth.
If you are living alone, or are the only one in your family who drinks coffee, consider purchasing a single-serve coffee maker. Companies such as Keurig have created coffee makers that use a coffee pod, a single serving of coffee grounds in a small container that fits inside the machine. This type of coffee maker is also useful if you like to drink a different flavor of coffee each day.
Iced coffee doesn't taste so great when the ice cubes begin to melt, watering down the flavor. An excellent tip is to make ice cubes out of coffee or milk, and keeping them in the freezer in zippered bags. They will be handy anytime you want a cold drink on a hot day!
Cold brew your coffee using grounds, water, a filter, and milk before going to bed. Trying to quickly cool a hot cup of coffee in the morning by putting it in the refrigerator or freezer can lead to a watered-down beverage. The best coffee is one that is created slowly. Therefore, preparing the night before is important.
You should now have a better idea about a great cup of coffee, and it's now up to you to figure out what your preferences are. Perhaps you would like to sample a range of options. Maybe you already love coffee, but are interested in trying something new. Keep in mind what you have learned here as you brew your next cup of coffee.

Then he met Spring Pearson, the younger, free-spirited daughter of Hippie parents, at a book club meeting. Instantly smitten, Thaddeus finally worked up the courage to ask Spring out.

Bradenton, October 23, 2014— RE/MAX agents continue to live up to their motto "Outstanding Agents, Outstanding Results®" in support of Feeding Empty Little Tummies (F.E.L.T.), a program to help homeless children. RE/MAX Alliance Group Associates Barry & Sherry Grooms chaired a successful Charity Golf Tournament held at the Ritz Carlton Golf Club October 13. "Homeless kids deserve to eat too." said Barry Grooms. "With the generosity of our players and sponsors we were able to meet our goal and help continue the important work of this organization."
Feeding Empty Little Tummies (FELT) is Manatee County's original backpack program to feed homeless children on weekends, when they are not in school and often go hungry. It was founded by the late Jane Evers in 2010 and is supported solely by volunteers. Volunteers are the heart of this operation and graciously give their time and resources without compensation or reimbursement. All proceeds go directly to providing homeless children nutritious food. It's important to give back to the community and make a difference where we work & live." said Sherry Grooms. "This event was the perfect way to help support Manatee County and raise awareness for Homeless Children."
For information about Feeding Empty Little Tummies (F.E.L.T), visit www.FELTinc.org

|God saw that the light was good. ---Genesis 1:4
The world is beginning to look like it came out of the Torah!
This morning I looked out the window and the sun at that moment through the trees looked like a day out of creation!
Well, of course it should be that way, the world is the Torah!
God breathed and created everything, so everyday of course is a day out of creation!! But I never thought of it that way until very recently!!
There is a cycle of Torah just like there is a cycle of seasons.
This is something I never knew or thought of before this year, and I am already well into the seasons of life, so even though it is an eternal cycle, for me its new!
If its new for you, I hope you will enjoy this time of the new start too whether you are just starting like me or a seasoned traveler through the Torah or even if you are just not knowing what I am talking about, please come along and enjoy the challah and rest in each Shabbat.
I have an idea to make the blog a place to share challah and testimony, scripture and sketches, while reading through this first year of the cycle of parashiot!
Starting with Genesis (and satsumaimo challah, see post below!)
We`re already
in the third week!
Repentence and returning are from the root `Shuv` in Hebrew.
Surely the LORD is not just calling me back , He is calling us back, to His Torah.
This past few years have been a great turning back and returning in my life.
I can actually feel the momentum as I am turning back to God.
Moving onto His calendar which is calibrated by His Shabbatot, and corresponding to the readings of the Parashiot. It`s movement and at the same time feels like everything stands still in a way too because He is doing the turning and bringing us into a cycle that has been repeating since the beginning. He is the Aleph and the Tav, the beginning and the end!(Aleph is the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, Tav is the last letter of the Hebrew Alphabet).
All the things that happened in the Bible and it`s teachings seem closer, as we make them a focus of our lives. Where we are now then reconnects with Torah, the word of God, with God Himself.
This week readings were from Noah, down the genealogical line through Shem
to Abram, who we know will become Abraham,
the father of all the line leading to Messiah and through to us!
Noah built the Ark with all his dedication and truly a one-track mind only obedient to what God asked Him to do, and rose above the floodwaters to safety.
Studying the Torah is similarly the way to stay afloat, to be brought to safety, and to live in God`s word, amidst the floodwaters of our day.
Noah`s day once seemed long ago, but now it seems near, as the words we read are the same Word Noah lived. What it means to be righteous is the same as it was then, and God is the same today as He was yesterday and forever more!!
Not only is the Word of God relevant to life,
It is Life!
And look at this, in Hebrew the word used in scripture for the Ark that Noah built is `Tevah`.*
I found out Tevah also means `Word`.
Just like Noah was lifted up on the floodwaters and kept safe in the Ark, we too are lifted up from the floodwaters of daily life and kept afloat by living in His Word!! It is the `ark` that protects us, that is our place of safety, that is our Salvation, just as Yeshua is the Word become Flesh, and is our Salvation!! Halleluyah!!
The picture below is of the harvest--season vegetables and fruits--- I received in exchange for challah this past Shabbat!! Its funny I started with the purple potato (satsumaimo) to make the bread, entered into Shabbat with two loaves (see two posts below), and went out of the Shabbat with a mountain of seasonal produce!!
It was a great and fun surprise and reminds me how when we enter into God`s Shabbat it is a delight, full of surprises, as we keep our eye on Yeshua.
For "Everyone who calls upon the name of the LORD shall be saved." ---Romans 10:13
God Bless you and have a great week! Oh, and it`s Friday already, so time to get ready to enter a new Shabbat!
This weeks Torah portion is Lech LCha.
Blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the Torah of ADONAI
I long for Your deliverance, ADONAI, and Your Torah is my delight.
---Psalm 119, verse 1 and verse 174
(all the verses in Psalm 119 are `numbered` by starting with letters from each letter of the Hebrew Alphabet. You can read the whole Psalm here! )
Shabbat Shalom!

I picked up this book of short stories after looking into the Writers at Work conference, where Singleton will be a part of this summer's faculty.
The stories all take place in the fictional South Carolina town of Forty-Five. The first three stories are told by first-person male narrators recounting an event in their childhood and are simply beautiful. Characters in this collection recur in multiple stories, and by the end of the book one feels as though they've spent some quality time in a very specific locale. Although if you do read the book straight through, you might feel--as I did--that there is one too many flea markets. Although it did make me want to head to a fairgrounds some Saturday morning, and see what I can find.

Avocados are most well-known for their place in our hearts and on our tables when game day rolls around… nothing beats a good guac. But, according to World's Healthiest Foods, avocados are secret super foods with health benefits that go beyond vitamins and minerals. [Read more…]
5 Avocado Health Benefits You Didn't Know About
What is Al Pastor?
Al pastor is a dish is popular in Central Mexico. Not to be confused with the spit-grilled shawarma of Lebanese culture, Al pastor meat is typically pork-based in nature and is marinated in a combination of dried chilies, spices, and pineapple. [Read more…]
The City of Mexicali, Mexico
It's time to get back to our roots! The name of our restaurant actually originates from a city of the same name in the state of Baja California, Mexico.
Mexico is comprised of 31 states, not including the Federal District. Of all the states, Baja California is the northernmost and westernmost. Within it lays Mexicali, one of the state's northernmost cities that is just over two hours from the US's San Diego, California. [Read more…]
A Mexican New Year
When the clock strikes twelve, we throw our hands in the air, scream and shout, and drink glasses of champagne to ring in the New Year. This may be an American tradition, but what happens during the Mexican New Year?
[Read more…]
Mexican Stir Fry
Everyone loves a good stir fry. They are delicious and can be customized in so many ways. You can decide what (if any) meat the dish is based around, what vegetables get included, and even the spices you add for flavoring. No matter of one's taste buds or preferences, there is a stir fry ready for their enjoyment.
Mexican Burger Recipe
Yes, the hamburger is an American dish. No one would ever want to take the heart of American Cuisine away from the land of the free and the home of the brave. So while the burger's roots will always remain in the USA, the dish has migrated globally. All cultures are adding their spin on the hamburger, including those south of our border.
Delicious Home Made Beef Empanada Recipe
The empanada has never gained the popularity of the taco, burrito, and quesadilla on the national American stage. However, to the authentic Mexican foodie, the empanada is simultaneously a treat and a staple. The empanada is made of dough and is usually filled with a tasty meat (ground beef, sausage, chicken, or steak). It will also often include onions, beans or rice, and vegetables and is baked until it reaches pure golden perfection. The empanada is loaded with flavor and will probably become a favorite for those loving Mexican food.
Delicious Mexican Marinade Recipe
There is nothing that makes meat delicious like a good marinade. Dry, bland meat is not usually too appetizing, but a meat that has been marinated in a tasty Mexican marinade is a different story. Marinades are a brilliant way to season food as they are require little preparation—just stir the ingredients and soak the meat.
Amazing Chile Relleno Recipe
Originally from the city of Pueblo, chile rellenos are a delicious work of art. This delicious chile rellenos (which literally means "stuffed chile") recipe features pasilla chiles grilled and charred to perfection, stuffed with queso fresco cheese, and covered in a tasty egg batter. Like many Mexican recipes, adding rice and beans as a side dish will add some complementing flavors and texture.
Brilliant Breakfast Burrito Recipe
The burrito might be the perfect food. You can customize it with many variations of meats, vegetables, spices, and herbs. The burrito can be a vegetarian or a meat lover's meal. They can be eaten at restaurants, at your home, or even on-the-go. You can have it spicy or bland, depending on your preference. Finally, the burrito can be eaten at any time of the day. Normally thought of as a lunch or dinner option, burritos are good any time of the day.

Tcard program halted in its track
24 January, 2008
category: Contactless, Transit
The final decision to scrap the Tcard system proposed in Autralia was made by a cabinet subcommittee yesterday, although the Minister for Transport John Watkins, announced that there is still hope for e-ticketing to show up again. The Tcard was going to be a contactless card ticketing system for Sydney's public transport network, but it has been endangered since last November, after failing to meet several deadlines. According to Mr. Watkins, the Tcard trial was not a success after starting 13 months late and just one-tenth of the original projected participants (106 actual participants instead of 1000). Read more about the Tcard at ZDNet Australia.

The collaboration between Innovayt and the Danish company iLocator has resulted in a favorable funding decision by the Eurostars program.
The Air-AM project aims at seizing a major market opportunity by developing and demonstrating a new integrated asset data acquisition and service management solution – a paradigm shift in asset inventory mapping – which will radically enhance the cost-effectiveness of asset management and maintenance processes for airport operators. The technology to be developed provides a straightforward way to collect and store relevant information about fixed physical assets (e.g. lighting, runways), such as position, photos, model or service events, in a highly structured way, that can then be shared with parties who are involved in the management and maintenance work.
Henrik Michaelsen, founder and CTO of iLocator states: "We see Innovayt's work as highly professional, very structured and we are extremely satisfied with the result."

"Hey beautiful!" said the bathroom mirror.
The next note was held up by two fridge magnets.
"Go shopping!" it said, "Coupon underneath".
Excited and armed with a voucher to her favorite brand she arrived at the store only to be astonished. Yet again. The store clerk handed her an azure cocktail dress in 'her' correct size. As she came out to check herself in the mirror, there He was! Handsome, in a pinstriped blue suit, roses in hand.
"Will you go out on a date with me, gorgeous?' he whispered.
2 years of courtship, 20 years of marriage, 3 kids, (innumerable) fights, laughter, music, vacations: She thought they had been through it all. But this was the first time he had ever surprised her, and how! He had shown her there was still room for firsts in their relationship!
Time to wine and dine:)

Felt like going with a "seedha-saadha", "cute" tale this week cause I am kind of overwhelmed by all the negative news and shootings and rapes and all that! Just want to focus on normalcy and the good things in life for awhile.

10. Pricing, Payment & Taxes
1. Pricing.
Pricing of courseset Courses is determined in accordance with the terms set forth in Our Instructor Terms and Our Pricing and Promotions Policy. If You are a Student, You agree to pay the fees for Courses that You purchase, and hereby authorize Us to charge Your credit card for such fees. If Your credit card is declined, You agree to pay Us the fees within thirty (30) days of notification from Us, and pay (at Our discretion) a late payment charge of 1.5% per month, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is greater.
2. Payment.
All payments are made to courseset, Inc.
European Union Users. By purchasing Courses (e.g. clicking or tapping the relevant purchase button), You are confirming that You want the Course immediately credited to Your Account and that by doing so You are hereby waiving any and all cancellation rights under applicable laws, including but not limited to the EU Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU) and/or any national laws implementing it. Notwithstanding the foregoing, You will still be eligible for the 30 day refund right as set forth in this section 10. For avoidance of any doubt, refunds to You shall be applicable only in accordance with our refund policy described in this section 10.
3. Taxes.
European Union. In the event that the sale or delivery of a Course or any Submitted Content to any Student in the European Union is subject to any value added tax ("VAT"), under applicable law, courseset will collect and remit the VAT to the competent tax authorities for sales of such Courses or Submitted Content to Students in the European Union. courseset may at its own discretion increase the Sale Price where courseset is of the view that VAT may be due and courseset will have a liability to account for such. You will indemnify and hold courseset harmless against any and all claims by any tax authority for any underpayment of VAT, and any penalties and/or interest thereon.
All Other Countries. For sales of any Courses or Submitted Content in countries other than the European Union, You are responsible for remitting the taxes to the appropriate taxing authority (which may be different to the tax authority in Your own location). courseset is unable to provide You with tax advice and You should consult Your own tax advisor.
4. Rounding Off.
courseset may, in its sole discretion, round up or round down the Sale Price to the nearest whole functional base unit in which the Sale Currency is denominated (e.g. to the nearest dollar, euro or other supported currency); for example, courseset will round up an amount of $101.50 to $102.00, and $101.49 to $101.00.
Some currencies are denominated in large numbers. In those cases, courseset may determine the functional base unit in which those currencies are denominated to be 10, 100 or 1,000 of the currency; the corresponding examples for such currencies would be for courseset to round up an amount of 1,045 up to 1,050 and 1,044 down to 1,040, or 35,450 up to 35,500 and 35,449 down to 35,400, or 837,500 up to 838,000 and 837,499 down to 837,000.
5. Foreign Currency.
When browsing without logging in to Your Account, the Services will default the Sale Currency to the currency used in Your current geographic location. When you are logged in to Your Account, the Sale Currency will be based on Your geographic location as set upon Account signup. You cannot change Your displayed currency.
Each foreign currency conversion is processed at a foreign currency conversion rate. This rate generally refers to the amount of one currency that must be paid to buy a certain amount of another currency at a given time. For example, if it costs US$125.00 to buy €100.00, the currency conversion rate of US dollars to Euros would be 1.25, and the currency conversion rate from Euros to US dollars would be 0.8. Currency conversion rates will vary from time to time.
6. Refunds.
courseset offers Students a thirty (30)-day, no-questions- asked money back guarantee on Courses that are purchased on the courseset website (at www.courseset.com) or via Android applications. Any Courses purchased through Third Party Platforms or the iOS application will not be eligible for refunds. If You, as a Student, are unhappy with such a Course and request a refund within thirty (30) days of the date that You paid for access to that Course, We will provide You with a full refund of the amount You paid. To request a refund, please contact Us via firstname.lastname@example.com.

Notice will be deemed given twenty-four hours after e-mail is sent, unless the sending party is notified that the e-mail address is invalid.

17. Miscellaneous
Entire Agreement. These Terms and any policies applicable to You posted on Our Services constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all previous written or oral agreements between the parties with respect to such subject matter.
Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found to be illegal, void or unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions of these Terms.
Waiver. A provision of these Terms may be waived only by a written instrument executed by the party entitled to the benefit of such provision. The failure of courseset to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
Notice. Any notice or other communication to be given hereunder will be in writing and given by facsimile, postpaid registered or certified mail return receipt requested, or electronic mail.
No Agency. Nothing in these Terms shall be construed as making either party the partner, joint venture, agent, legal representative, employer, contractor or employee of the other. Neither courseset nor any other party to these Terms shall have, or hold itself out to any third party as having, any authority to make any statements, representations or commitments of any kind, or to take any action that shall be binding on the other except as provided for herein or authorized in writing by the party to be bound.
Governing Laws. These Terms and Your use of the Services shall be governed by the substantive laws of the State of California without reference to its choice or conflicts of law principles that would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction, and shall be considered to have been made and accepted in the State of California.
18. Agreement to Arbitrate and Class Action Waiver
Before bringing a formal legal case, please first try contacting our support team at email@example.com. Most disputes can be resolved that way.
We Both Agree to Arbitrate. If we can't resolve our dispute amicably, You and courseset agree to resolve any claims relating to these Terms, or any of Our other terms posted on Our Services from time to time, through final and binding arbitration. This applies to all kinds of claims under any legal theory.
Either of Us can bring a claim in small claims court either in San Francisco, California, or the county where You live, or some other place we both agree on, if it qualifies to be brought in that court.
In addition, if You or courseset brings a claim in court that should be arbitrated or any of Us refuses to arbitrate a claim that should be arbitrated, the other of Us can ask a court to force Us to go to arbitration to resolve the claim (i.e., compel arbitration). You or courseset may also ask a court to halt a court proceeding while an arbitration proceeding is ongoing.
No Class Actions. We all agree that we can only bring a claim against each other on an individual basis. That means: (a) neither You nor courseset can bring a claim as a plaintiff or class member in a class action, consolidated action or representative action; (b) an arbitrator cannot combine more than one person's claim into a single case, and cannot preside over any consolidated, class or representative arbitration proceeding (unless we both agree to change this); (c) an arbitrator's decision or award in one person's case can only impact the person who brought the claim, not other Users, and cannot be used to decide other disputes with other Users. If a court decides that this subsection on "No Class Actions" is not enforceable or valid, then the entire Section 18 (Agreement to Arbitrate and Class Action Waiver) will be null and void, but, the rest of the Terms will still apply.
The Arbitration Process. Any disputes between You and courseset relating to the Services that involve a claim of less than US$10,000 must be resolved exclusively through binding non-appearance- based arbitration. A party electing arbitration shall initiate proceedings by filing an arbitration demand with the American Arbitration Association (AAA). The arbitration proceedings shall be governed by the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules, Consumer Due Process Protocol, and Supplementary Procedures for Resolution of Consumer-Related Disputes. In addition, You and courseset agree that the following rules shall apply to the arbitration proceedings: (a) the arbitration shall be conducted, at the option of the party seeking relief, by telephone, online, or based solely on written submissions; (b) the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties; and (c) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any disputes between You and courseset relating to the Services that involve a claim of less than US$10,000 must be resolved in accordance with the AAA's rules about whether the arbitration hearing has to be in-person.
Jurisdiction for Legal Disputes Not Subject to Arbitration. If the Agreement to Arbitrate is determined to be invalid or unenforceable or for any disputes that do not qualify for arbitration, the dispute shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal and State courts located in San Francisco, California. You hereby consent and submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating any such action.
Changes. Notwithstanding the provisions of the modification-related provisions above, if courseset changes this "Agreement to Arbitrate and Class Action Waiver" section after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by providing courseset written notice of such rejection by mail or hand delivery to: courseset, Inc. Attn: Legal, 600 Harrison Street, 3rd Floor, San Francisco, CA 94107, or by email from the email address associated with your Account to: firstname.lastname@example.com, within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated by the "last updated on" language above. In order to be effective, the notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to reject changes to this "Agreement to Arbitrate and Class Action Waiver" section. By rejecting changes, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between you and courseset in accordance with the provisions of this "Agreement to Arbitrate and Class Action Waiver" section as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).
19. Health and Wellness Courses
By purchasing, enrolling and/or participating in any health, wellness and fitness course(s), events, activities, and other programs (the "Health and Wellness Course(s)"), you hereby acknowledge on behalf of yourself, your heirs, personal representatives and/or assigns, that there are certain inherent risks and dangers in the strenuous nature of the Health and Wellness Course(s).

At all times, you shall comply with all stated and customary terms, safety signs or signals, rules, and verbal instructions given to you. In consideration of being allowed to participate in and access the Health and Wellness Course(s), you hereby (1) agree to assume full responsibility for any and all injuries or damage which are sustained or aggravated by you in relation to the Health and Wellness Course(s), (2) release, indemnify, and hold harmless the Health and Wellness Course instructor, courseset, subsidiary affiliate entities and franchisees, and each of their respective members, employees and representatives and agents, and each of their respective successors and assigns and all others, from any and all responsibility, claims, actions, suits, procedures, costs, expenses, damages, and liabilities to the fullest extent allowed by law arising out of or in any way related to participation in any Health and Wellness Course(s), and (3) represent that you (a) have no medical or physical condition that would prevent you from properly using any of the Health and Wellness Course(s), (b) do not have a physical or mental condition that would put you in any physical or medical danger, and (c) have not been instructed by a physician to not participate in physical exercise. You acknowledge that if you have any chronic disabilities or conditions, you are at risk in participating in the Health and Wellness Course(s), and should not be participating in any classes.

Helping Puerto Rico
For part of my winter break, my sister, mom and I are all going to Puerto Rico. It's not a vacation. We're going down to help the side of the island that hasn't been given as much help because it's more rural. We're helping in a medical clinic. My mom and I have done the clinic before in Appalachia. While we were there, we basically helped run people around because neither one of us have any medical training. We also had a friend who was running a lab there and we were checking people in. This organization is phenomenal. It's called RAM – Remote Area Medical. They took over a fairground and they had every single department there that you'd have in a hospital. They had orthopedics. They had a lab to get tests done. They were giving dental care. They were making eyeglasses on the spot. Now they have a clinic down in Puerto Rico and we're very excited to help. We're just going for one week but they've had a clinic there for a month.
