Check out my Song Of The Week on my other blog garnetbeauty.wordpress.com
Hey guys,
Follow my new blog garnetbeauty.wordpress.com; I'm not completely leaving this blog, just taking a break from it.
Drake definitely owned the stage! This was the first concert I've ever been to and it's most certainly not the last – thank you Drake! I was lucky enough to get seats, as his O2 Arena tour SOLD OUT! Watching the show from our "limited view" seats (even though we saw everything – shame on you Ticketmaster), I took a moment to soak up the atmosphere of the arena, and watch the crowds pile in with their OVOXO merchandise.
The Weeknd (XO) was one of his supporting acts, as well as the beautiful Jhene Aiko, looking gorgeous in a backless turquoise maxi dress. Now I understand why she is everyone's WCW*.
Drake covered most of his hits from No New Friends to Worst Behavior. He even took it back to the days when he thought everything was Over, but then started asking people to Miss Me. I'm just very glad he didn't just stick to his new stuff; I didn't pay £52 just to listen to a whole album, I could do that at home! But I love an artist that can own a stage without any backing dancers; his DJ was so sick too. Someone get me his number!!
Despite the club bangers, he made it appoint that he sang some of his emotional but not-so-emotional songs. I must admit, I sat down for that part, however, Drake has a beautiful singing voice *melts to the floor*. But jokes aside, he really knows how to put on a show, and I'd definitely recommend y'all to get tickets to his next show. Now I can tick Drake off my 'Who To Watch Live' list.
You have made me a very happy fan Mr Aubrey Drake Graham.
*Woman Crush Wednesday

Beth Behrs makes an appearance on Watch What Happens Live on Monday night (May 23) in New York City.
The 30-year-old 2 Broke Girls actress appeared alongside Me Before You actor Sam Claflin.
Beth was asked to talk about her experience of going to acting camp with Zac Efron fifteen years ago.
"We went to acting camp together. He was the youngest at camp, and his roommate I remember, had to go home from home sickness because they were like thirteen I think but I do have a memory of him learning how to freak dance. We had like a dance and he was so short. It was really funny," Beth said. "He was so young. But I'd totally would have wanted to make out with him even at thirteen. He was really hot."
Sam then asked if Zac had a six-pack back then and Beth said that it was at least a "three or four pack."
In other Beth news, she just released a new digital comic with her best friend Matt Doyle. The new YA comic series Dents is available new on LINE Webtoon. Go get the first issue right now!

On Monday, through a twist that few could have foreseen, Lt. Gov. David A. Paterson will be sworn in as the 55th governor of New York — an accidental governor thrust into a position of extraordinary power by the sudden, gaudy downfall of his former running mate, Eliot Spitzer.
His rise from relative obscurity to center stage has come with astonishing speed, and with it, Mr. Paterson is about to face something new: serious scrutiny of his legislative record, political connections and handling of government money over two decades.
A review of Mr. Paterson's time in office reveals many of the typical footprints of a long legislative career. But it also shows that at times he supported controversial policies, made strikingly candid comments and took actions that might have raised questions about conflicts of interest. By and large, his record escaped notice.
As a state senator, for instance, Mr. Paterson helped direct hundreds of thousands of dollars to a hospital in his Harlem district that for a time employed his wife, including for two years as its paid lobbyist in Albany.
He sponsored legislation that would have made it legal for noncitizens to vote in state and local elections and another bill that would have made it legal to use force against a police officer while resisting a wrongful arrest — a proposal that was blasted by police unions and went nowhere. And his father, Basil A. Paterson, is a top lawyer for some of the state's most powerful unions, whose money has long influenced policymaking in Albany.Continue reading the main story
Within the confines of the Harlem district that he represented for 23 years, Mr. Paterson is a well-known commodity, a scion of a legendary club that included his father, who is a former New York secretary of state, deputy mayor and state senator; David N. Dinkins, New York City's first black mayor; Representative Charles B. Rangel; and Percy E. Sutton, a former Manhattan borough president — although he sometimes bucked their wishes.
But to the rest of the state, he is a virtual unknown, having received little attention and even less scrutiny. For most of his two decades in office, Mr. Paterson was a member, and then leader, of one of the least relevant, and least noticed, groups in the Legislature, the Democratic minority of the State Senate.
He received only marginally more attention in 2006 when he was elected, with no real opposition, to another post with little real influence: lieutenant governor. (Consider that when his predecessor was in office, a statewide poll found that only 4 percent of New Yorkers could name their lieutenant governor. Stumped? It was Mary O. Donohue.)
"He is a governor who has only been, quote unquote, vetted, by the constituents in his State Senate district in Manhattan," said Douglas A. Muzzio, a political scientist at Baruch College. "He has never gotten the statewide scrutiny that a gubernatorial candidate would expect."
In a statement on Saturday, Christine Anderson, a spokeswoman for Mr. Paterson, said his legislative record was "thoroughly reviewed when he was chosen to join the ticket with Attorney General Spitzer."
Mr. Paterson, 53, was first elected in 1985, at the age of 31, to the Senate seat in Harlem that his father once held. He gained a reputation as a smart, engaging, funny, consensus-driven leader who pushed for reform in a state government that had become famous for dysfunction.
Senate Power Play
In 2002, he mounted a successful coup against the Senate minority leader — and then helped Democrats to win seats that began to close the gap with the Republicans.
As minority leader, Mr. Paterson did not hesitate to attack the leadership of the majorities in both chambers on the issue of accountability, accusing them of trying to hide details of how they used hundreds of millions of dollars in "member items," the discretionary spending doled out by legislators.
He announced in April 2006 that he was making public the Senate Democrats' member items, and said in a press release that he had issued guidelines two years earlier warning senators not to steer state money to organizations with which they or their immediate family members were affiliated. Senators should "strive to avoid the appearance of impropriety at all times in their considerations and submission of any member item request," the guidelines said.
But Mr. Paterson appears to have been testing the limits of his own policy by helping North General Hospital, a small, private hospital in his district that had struggled financially. His wife, Michelle Paige Paterson, worked as North General's director of government affairs from 2002 to 2005.
Ms. Paterson became the authorized lobbyist for the hospital in August 2003, about eight months after her husband was named the Democratic leader in the Senate. According to a report that North General filed with the state lobbying commission, Ms. Paterson lobbied the Legislature on budget issues in 2004. She left the hospital in January 2005.
The hospital's president, Dr. Samuel J. Daniel, has said that he recruited Ms. Paterson in early 2002 to help get critical legislation passed that year that allowed North General to refinance more than $100 million in debt. He told Newsday last week that "Michelle was instrumental in getting me before the Legislature."
An aide to Mr. Paterson said on Saturday that Mr. Paterson also helped North General arrange a meeting with Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, a fellow Democrat. Michelle Paterson attended that meeting, at which the hospital's financial problems were apparently discussed, the aide said. But the aide could not recall precisely when the meeting occurred, saying only that it was before 2005. Mr. Paterson did not sponsor or negotiate any legislation to help the hospital, the aide added.
In 2005, The Daily News said Mr. Paterson described his actions in setting up the meeting "as something he now recognizes as inappropriate" because his wife had worked there.
Mr. Paterson's assistance to North General was not limited to arranging meetings with key people. State budget records show that Mr. Paterson sponsored a $100,000 grant for North General that was financed through the 2004 Community Capital Assistance Program, which benefits local projects. Mr. Paterson also sponsored a separate $150,000 member item for the hospital in 2006, when his wife no longer worked at North General. (Even the minority parties receive some member items in the budget, though far fewer than the majorities.)
Ms. Paterson, who has a graduate degree in health services policy, now oversees wellness programs at the Health Insurance Plan of New York, which is seeking state approval to become a profit-making company.
Ms. Anderson said North General was "a worthy recipient of state funds, providing critical health care and services to the Harlem community." She also pointed out that Mr. Paterson had ordered the Senate Democrats to make their member items public.
Michelle Stent, a spokeswoman for North General, said on Friday that Dr. Daniel was traveling and not available for comment. She said only that both Mr. Paterson and Ms. Paterson had been helpful to the hospital.
A Father's Influence
Mr. Paterson's father, Basil, raises another set of questions about potential conflicts of interest.
David Paterson has spoken of sometimes being helped by, and other times intimidated by, his father, whom he considers a valued adviser. But Basil Paterson, 81, has also served for years as wise man and eminence grise for many of New York's biggest and most powerful unions in their contract negotiations.
Before and during the 2005 transit strike, he was often at the side of Roger Toussaint of Local 100 of the Transport Workers Union. He has also counseled other heavyweight labor leaders, including Dennis Rivera of 1199 S.E.I.U. United Healthcare Workers East, Randi Weingarten of the United Federation of Teachers, and Lillian Roberts of District Council 37.
The transit union bargains with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, a state agency. And when 1199 negotiates with the city's League of Voluntary Hospitals, it often looks to Albany to provide money to help finance its agreements. Both unions lobby the state heavily to increase spending on health care and mass transit.
Ms. Anderson said Mr. Paterson and his father "will take every appropriate step necessary" to avoid any conflicts. She also said that David Paterson had directed his counsel to contact the managing director of Basil Paterson's law firm, Meyer, Suozzi, English & Klein, to "ensure that the necessary safeguards are in place to preclude any potential or actual conflict of interest."
Basil Paterson said in an interview that he had never officially discussed his labor negotiations with his son. "We've got to make sure there isn't any conflict there," he said. "We'll try to do that."
His law firm has a powerhouse lobbying arm, but Basil Paterson is not a registered lobbyist and he said that his law firm would try to arrange matters so that earnings from lobbying the new governor would be segregated from what he earns. "If anybody thinks that I will make a call to my son on behalf of someone, I can't do that," he said.
Legislative Record
As a state senator, David Paterson introduced dozens of bills each year, virtually none of which had any chance of passing. Many of them staked out an unabashedly liberal agenda on issues ranging from law enforcement to taxes, often to the left of Mr. Spitzer.
One bill would have made it a crime for police officers to shoot to kill a suspect instead of shooting to merely stop the person. "There is no justification for terminating another's life when a less extreme measure may accomplish the same objective," the memo in support of the bill said. "For example, an officer would have to try to shoot a suspect in the arm or the leg."
The measure — which would have left police officers who shoot to kill open to a charge of second-degree manslaughter — was roundly denounced by police unions. Police officials have long said that officers are trained to shoot to stop suspects who pose a deadly threat to themselves or others. Because accurately shooting a suspect in the heat of the moment is difficult, they are trained to aim at central body mass, not limbs.
Another bill, which Mr. Paterson later withdrew, would have repealed the law outlawing the use of force while resisting arrests, whether they were authorized or not.
He also introduced bills that would have extended the right to vote to noncitizens, extended a temporary income tax on wealthy New Yorkers to pay for schools, and extended the time during which people could sue for medical malpractice.
Ms. Anderson said that Mr. Paterson viewed the bills involving police officers as a way of "restoring confidence in law enforcement at a time when confidence was very low." And she said that after Mr. Paterson became minority leader, he did not actively support the legislation that would have extended the right to vote to noncitizens. "He does not think noncitizens should have the right to vote," she said.
In a news conference on Friday, his first since Mr. Spitzer's decision to resign, Mr. Paterson did not address his legislative record. He said he wanted to avoid raising taxes, but could not rule out doing so, given the current economic downturn.
When asked about his political philosophy, he replied, "There are some points of view I guess that I've changed over the years, but I'm pretty much the same person."
At that news conference, Mr. Paterson displayed some of his well-honed wit. When he was applauded loudly upon entering the ornate Red Room on the second floor of the Capitol, he said: "Thank you. If most of you weren't being paid, I'd be flattered by that."
Mr. Paterson is also known for a disarming frankness. At a news conference in 2005, for example, he volunteered that he had once under-reported his income to the Internal Revenue Service. Mr. Paterson filed an amended return and paid the tax owed, amounting to a few hundred dollars, an aide said.
To some lawmakers, Mr. Paterson's candor is a sign that he has yet to be tested in the glare of the public spotlight. He seemed to acknowledge as much in a radio interview on Friday when he responded, with both humor and frankness, to a question about his breathtaking ascent to governor.
"I kind of feel like the student who's getting ready for the final exam," he said, "but they didn't attend any classes."
An article on Sunday about the legislative record and political career of David A. Paterson on the eve of his installation as governor of New York included an outdated reference to the job duties of his wife, Michelle Paige Paterson. She oversees wellness programs at the Health Insurance Plan of New York; she no longer works on its charitable activities.

Happy Holidays, everyone! And Merry Christmas, if you happen to celebrate it! Today is Christmas where I am, and I spent it with my mom, dad, and boyfriend!
Since this is a fashion blog and basically everything I received is related, I figured I would show off the lovely things I was given! This first one is of a Juicy Couture perfume and lotion set my mom got me, it's called "Couture Couture" and it smells so nice! Juicy makes really nice perfumes--I wish I had a larger perfume collection!
My mom knows me all too well. Juicy, and now some Betsey Johnson! Travel bags! I actually end up traveling quite a lot, so these will come in useful! (I wonder how my boyfriend will feel if I give him the black one for his toiletries since he doesn't have one? Haha, at least it's not super girly!)
Victoria's Secret, too! Almost all of some of my favourite brands, so far! I've been wearing Love Spell since 9th grade which is quite a few years, so this makes me super happy! Victoria's secret recently diss-countinued ALL of their perfumes, though. So bummed out, but happy I have a bunch of them stocked up.
This was actually the one thing I asked for for Christmas! A mint fanny pack from Urban Outfitters! (Looks just like my brown one from Shop Lately, only it was more expensive)
This stone necklace and the twisted feather bracelet are a perfect match for this fanny pack!!
I'm actually a pretty boring person and always wear the same makeup everyday no matter what, so this will be fun to try! (And incase you're wondering, yes, that's a framed Night of the Living Dead poster on our wall.)
My boyfriend got me this wallet by MNG by MANGO, since mine has been falling apart! He's so sweet!
Who says socks are a bad Christmas gift?! Especially when they're angora!!
Some cute bracelets by MNG by MANGO!
I don't generally like Aeroposatle, but the year they were established along with their initials is my initial, and my birthyear, so my mom got it for me as well--I love that it's dog tags, I've been wanting some. And the peace symbol bracelet is too cute!
Of course, at least one joke gift. Everyone in my family says I am obsessed with pepper. I put it on nearly everything. Now I have my own so that I don't keep stealing the one from the kitchen!!
I'm very thankful to have received such lovely things, and feel very lucky to have the life that I have. Most of all, I'm thankful for my family and that I got to be with them this year, as I haven't had a family Christmas in some time.
I hope everyone who celebrates Christmas had a lovely one, and that whatever you celebrate, if anything, that you're having a wonderful winter season!!
(Also, if anyone else has some presents to show off, I'd love to see the lovely gifts everyone else received!)
~peace on earth~
PS: Stay tuned to my blog at midnight tonight for special details on a new contest I'll be releasing!!

On Saturday, my sister and I portrayed German refugees at the Bridge at Remagen reenactment in Tidioute, PA. When we got there, the other refugees were already at the meeting point but a kind American gave the two of us a ride to catch up with them. It was so fun! =)
The following three pictures were shamelessly stolen from Facebook.
It was hurry up and wait. But we got to meet some very nice reenactors. Reenactors are nice people if you haven't noticed.

Next Episode of Equator is
not planed. TV Show was canceled.
For most people the equator is just an imaginary line around the globe but, in this series, author and broadcaster Simon Reeve comes face to face with reality. He takes viewers on a 25,000-mile journey that reveals the equator as a unique region of the planet, home to both the world's greatest concentration of human poverty and natural biodiversity. Beneath the sweltering heat of the equatorial sun lie paradise beaches, strange foods and exotic wildlife, along with some of the world's most extreme terrain: dense rainforests, towering volcanoes and perilous rapids. Simon encounters conflict, environmental damage, dictators, poverty, tourism, pollution, unemployment and desperation – in a spectacular travelogue.
Looks like something went completely wrong!
But don't worry - it can happen to the best of us,
- and it just happened to you.
Please try again later or contact us.

Better off Dead
- ra stefanowicz
- 7/15/10
Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Better off Dead are very close in terms of production dates - so much so as to call them near simultaneous productions. Allowing for this, seemingly every washed out idea, sight - gag and secondary plot line that ended up on the Bueller cutting room floor, found its way to BoD. Maybe it was the writers, maybe it was the director, maybe it was just luck - in thirty years, Bueller will live on as a classic of its time, BoD will be back of shelf and back of mind.
Pure '80s after school comedy at its best.
- Russ
- 12/2/07
This film has stuck in my head since I first saw it in 1985. Never get tired of seeing it. Pure comedy that makes you laugh during the movie and walk away smiling after. A MUST SEE for the entire family.

|The coming of dawn in eastern North Carolina
But I remember well the first time I tried to stay up all night. I was about 12 or 13 years old. Daddy was helping Mr. Billy Abercrombie up above Laurens, SC, cook a pork hash all night down behind his house at one of his barns, and Daddy let me go with him. I remember them cutting meat and putting it in the huge black pot and crying while they cut onions, helping them unwrap and toss in the pot dozens of sticks of butter and pouring in huge cans of black pepper and a case of yellow mustard. And slowly stirring that pot with a boat paddle all night while the men split wood to keep the fire burning.
We just sat and kept the fire going. And waited. And waited. It seemed like the night to me at 12 or 13 that the night would never end. And it seemed like the longer the night went on, the darker it got. Every hour it seemed the darkness would crowd us in around that black wash pot, and there was no light except from the embers cooking the hash. I found out that it really is true that it is darkest before the dawn. Well, almost. I finally crawled up in Daddy's green 1966 Ford truck and went to sleep about five that morning. When I awoke about seven thirty, men and trucks were lining up at the Mr. Billy's barn to buy his quarts of hash.
This passage of Scripture today is about the darkness and the dawn, and the darkness of night seems to get darker and darker, but the dawn is coming, and though it is true that it is darkest before the dawn, ironically, the darker it gets the closer we are to the dawn. That's the hope of this passage today. Isaiah says, "My soul yearns for you in the night, and in the morning my spirit searches and looks out for you" (Isaiah 26:9). Nowhere in Scripture is a better example of comfort provided in difficult, dark days by considering the future.
Contextual Notes: Isaiah has shifted his focus beyond the immediate future of Judah (chs. 1-12) and the coming judgments on the surrounding nations (chs. 13-20). Isaiah now unveils secrets of the End (chs. 24-27). Scholars call chapter 24-27 the Isaiah Apocalypse, paralleling it with John's Revelation. History is moving purposely toward God's intended goals. Judgment on all the nations will come (ch. 24) culminating in the Lord's triumph (ch. 25) through the Resurrection of the dead (26:1-19) and the rise of Israel and her Messiah in the last days as he promised from the beginning (26:20-27:13).
Pray and Read: Isaiah 26-27
Key Truth: Isaiah wrote Isaiah 26-27 to teach Israel how to find peace in the darkness through trusting in the Rock of Ages, the fact of his historical bodily resurrection, and the promise that a repentant remnant will return to the Land of Israel to fulfill his covenants with Abraham, Moses, and David through the person and work of the Messiah.
Key Application: Today I want to show you what God's Word says about trusting God through the darkness, for joy will come in the Resurrection morning.
Sermon Points:
- In the darkness, trust in the Rock of Resurrection (Isaiah 26, esp. v. 4, 9, 19).
- In the darkness, sing of a Repentant Remnant (Isaiah 27, esp. v. 2, 6, 13)
1. IN THE DARKNESS, TRUST IN THE ROCK OF RESURRECTION (Isaiah 26).
a. Isaiah 26:1 – "In that day." The end-time Day of the Lord, and here it is a bright day following the darkness of divine judgment. The punishment that God brings on the Earth cleanses the world of sin. His triumph is the vindication of His people and their release from oppression.
b. Isaiah 26:1 – "this song" – In contrast to 25:5 and "a strong city" in contrast to Moab in 25:10-12.
c. Isaiah 26:3-4, 12 – Perfect peace. One of Scripture's most beautiful promises of the peace of the person who trusts in God. The secret? Trusting Him. Trust him. (Phil 4:4-7).
d. Isaiah 26:5-6: A tale of two cities: Jerusalem and Assyria/Tyre (ch. 23) (military/financial oppression). The message for the present is that the worn out people of Judah should put their trust in the Lord who will one day lay low the other city, that of the oppressor.
e. Isaiah 26:7-9 – Righteousness / judgments: Every time we see tzedek (righteous) and a root of shaphat (judge) so far in Isaiah, the passage is a reference to the Messiah. We see it at 1:27; 5:7, 16; 9:7; 11:4; 16:5 and here at 26:7-9. Each time Isaiah gives us more information on the Messiah to come. Here Isaiah uses the personal name of God, YHVH. This is incredible! This coming Messiah is the same God who spoke to Moses in the burning bush!
f. Isaiah 26:7 – The way of the righteous. God is described by the Hebrew word yasar, upright. The path is level and smooth because the Lord is upright and righteous. Our Lord Jesus has gone ahead and made the way of righteousness smooth and level for us by purchasing our freedom and giving us the Holy Spirit to comfort and counsel and teach us.
g. Isaiah 26:8 – Walking while waiting. Notice that in the OT that waiting is to look forward expectantly with hope, but it is not a passive waiting for the believer. Waiting must be demonstrated by walking in His ways and following hard after him. The way to wait for God is to be actively committed to doing His will and doing it.
h. APPLICATION: Are you waiting on the Lord? Are you sitting and waiting or actively waiting? God takes us as individuals and churches through periods of isolation where our main focus should not be doing something for the King, but letting the King work in us individually and corporately. Are you still serving him while you wait on your next assignment? You should be. Your gratefulness for what He has done for you should motivate you to serve him with joy (26:19).
i. Isaiah 26:8-9 – Yearning for Christ. The words here to describe our desire for the Lord are strong words. In verse 8, "your name and renown are "the craving of our life breath." In verse 9, My soul deeply desires you; in the morning my spirit searches for you, is on lookout for you, seeks you out."
j. APPLICATION: Are you seeking the Lord like that? If not, why not? Ask the Lord to give you that kind of craving for him.
k. Isaiah 26:10 – Irresistible grace? Grace is God's kindness and compassion displayed to those who do not deserve any good from Him. Everyone lives and breathes at the virtue of God's grace. Every good thing comes from his loving hands. But contrary to what many of my Reformed friends insist, grace is not irresistible. Many who grab the gifts refuse to acknowledge the Giver. The appropriate response to grace is to accept it, yes, but also to acknowledge God and place our trust in him.
l. Isaiah 26:10-20 – Note the national problem (v. 10-11). They go on sinning even when confronted with the grace of living in an upright land. Verse 12 is the intercession for the land because (1) our government and those we serve and work for cannot help us (v. 13-14) because they all die. But the Lord can bless the nation (v. 15) even though our intercession is so feeble it comes to nearly nothing, barely whispering a prayer or bringing forth only wind (v. 16-17). (2) We cannot bring forth salvation for ourselves, much less the nations (v. 18), but (3) the Messiah CAN birth salvation through bodily resurrection (v. 19). Right now, however, we see God's wrath (Rom 1:18-21) as the blood cries out from the ground (Gen. 4:10). But the blood of Jesus cries out greater things – mercy (Heb. 12:24)!
m. APPLICATION: Our nation is in a mess. Our global geopolitical future is uncertain. But through our feeble intercession we understand that our government cannot help us. Our financial sector cannot save us. Our employer cannot save us. We cannot even save ourselves, much less fulfill our command to take the message to the nations (Matt. 28:18-20), but the Lord, the Rock, our bodily Resurrection, can provide us with salvation, and he did it one morning while the dew was still on the roses! (1 Cor. 15:52).
n. Isaiah 26:19 – Your dead will live: Isaiah here at 26:19 is drawing out the implications of 25:8 of the defeat of death.
o. No resurrection theology in the OT? Some say that this is only a figure of speech of the idea of resurrection – that Hebrews had not evolved in their theological understanding to the point of having or using an idea of resurrection from the dead. These mixed up scholars actually attribute Israel's understanding of resurrection to the pagan Egyptian Book of the Dead! They act as if the Hebrews, and Isaiah in particular, who penned this inspired Script were not as advanced as we the modern readers who obviously have advanced past Isaiah's primitive time of thinking. Such a foolish thought not only denigrates the integrity and inerrancy of the Scripture, it also makes us hypocrites, for why would we study this document for theological instruction if we had advanced beyond such a primitive teacher's abilities?
p. Actually there could be no figure of speech at all if there were no genuine understanding and belief in bodily resurrection in the first place in ancient Israel. The ancient Jews understood bodily resurrection, and the text here proves they did. In fact, Job, which gives ample evidence of being the oldest written book in the Bible, talks about bodily resurrection (Job 14:1-15; 19:25-27; 33:23-28). The OT writers understood resurrection the same way the New Testament writers did (Acts 7; 1 Cor. 15). In fact, the NT writers went for teaching and understanding of Jesus' resurrection to these very OT passages of Scripture (Luke 24:44).
q. APPLICATION: Are you still trusting in someone else to save you? Do you think the government or your employer or your financial institution is going to help you out? Let me tell you a secret. Despite what their marketing department tells you, they are not in the game to help you. They are in the game for themselves, because they know they do not have the resources to fix all the problems out there. They need a Savior as much as you do.
r. Can't save self - And haven't you lived long enough to figure out that you will never have everything figured out? Or are you still young enough to know everything? You cannot figure out your relationships, your money, your time, even the difference between your wants and needs. How are you supposed to think about saving yourself or helping someone else find salvation (Matt. 28:18-20)?
s. One man on one morning saved everyone when he got up from the dead and brought salvation to all. Do you have a personal relationship with him? If not, why not? Salvation is a no-brainer. You trust in the Rock of Resurrection and you receive life eternal and blessings of contentment in this life.
2. IN THE DARKNESS, SING OF A REPENTANT REMNANT (Isaiah 27)
a. Isaiah 27:1-11 – Promises of the Future: Because of the Rock of Resurrection, we have here a number of promises for the Goalpoint of time. First, our enemy the devil will fall (27:1; Rev 12:7-10). Second, happier days are coming (27:2-11). Third, a repentant Remnant will return to Israel in the last days.
b. Isaiah 27:2-6 – Isaiah takes up the song of the vineyard again from 5:1-7. In chapter 5, the people cannot handle the vineyard, so in chapter 27 the Lord takes over. Note that he waters his vineyard (27:3; John 3:5; 4:14), that he desires reconciliation with us, desiring that no one would perish (27:4; 2 Cor. 5:17-22), though anyone who opposes him he fights (27:4b). But he wants to see peace through repentance, and salvation to sinners (27:5; 19:25). Isaiah is looking forward to the future return of Israel to the Land, Eretz Yisrael (11:10-12; 14:1-3; 7:3-a fulfillment of the name Shear-Yashub – shuv-return/repent). Israel will take root with its Messiah (6:13), bud and blossom (4:2; 11:1), and fill the world with fruit (19:16-25).
c. Isaiah 27:7-11: Right now, though, northern Israel must be punished to end its idolatry (27:9), because they are a people now without understanding (27:11; 6:9), but not as her enemies will be destroyed (27:7-8). Isaiah will deal more intimately with idolatry in chap. 28. Israel will forsake idolatry at the End (2 Kings 18:4; 23:12; Deut. 7:5). One day their guilt will find atonement in the Holy One (27:9) and worship in purity on Mount Zion in Jerusalem (27:13).
d. Isaiah 27:12-13 – You, O Israelites – There will be a trumpet/shofar blown (Zech. 9:14; 1 Thess. 4:16-20; Rev. 8:6-12). This trumpet awakens Israel to return (shuv – to repent, to go back). The trumpet's sound is the symbol of the end of man's rule and the beginning of Christ's reign (Rosh Hoshana and the Feast of Trumpets; Lev. 23:23-25). The trumpet's most important work was done on the Day of Atonement (Lev. 25:9) announcing liberation and restoration, symbolizing in later Jewish worship the substitution of the ram for Isaac in Gen. 22:13.
e. Israel will be gathered up, one by one," and return to Jerusalem and the Promised Land (27:12-13). A partial fulfillment of this prophecy came in 539 B.C. at the time of Daniel when the Jews returned to the Land specifically from the regions of the Euphrates River and the Wadi-al Arish in Egypt, fifty miles southeast of Gaza City (Gen. 15:18; 1 Kings 4:21; 2 Kings 24:7). Judah was exiled to Babylon, but some of the Jews in disobedience to God fled Judah to Egypt (Jer. 40:1; 43:7). Isaiah prophecies (712 BC) return from these places of exile about 175 years before they happened (539 BC). But this is a partial fulfillment. The NT extends this Trumpet call as gathering the elect (Matt. 24:31), calling the dead to life (1 Cor. 15:52; 1 Thess. 4:16), and the full investiture of Christ as King and his total and eternal domination of the world (Rev. 11:15).
f. ILLUSTRATION: In the darkness of the Philippian prison, Paul and Silas sang, and the earthquake that came broke open prison doors and set the jailor and his family free, likely the first converts of the church at Philippi (Acts 16:16-40).
g. APPLICATION: God has a remnant among Israel. God is not finished with Israel. Do you want to know how to gauge the timetable of the End Times? Israel is the gauge. Watch them. Did you know that in 2009, more Jews made aliyah than in any year since Israel was founded in 1948? God is on the move, and he is moving toward a goal point. Watch Israel. Don't worship or blindly follow everything the State of Israel chooses to do, but watch the people of Israel and you will have a good idea of where we stand in regard to the end times. He is calling his people home, and the Land has been set aside for them, no matter what nation or group of nations say (Psalm 2).

Honestly, we am feeling bad for Salman Khan since others were equally culpable and should not have been acquitted. Why should he humour alone?

In what comes as a big success for the Union minister for power, RE, coal and mines, Piyush Goyal (who spent days and months in convincing states to join the Centre's flagship scheme —- UDAY or Ujwal DISCOM Assurance Yojana for the financial and operational turnaround of state power distribution companies), India has got its first state power distribution company that has been able to eliminate its losses after joining within 10 months of joining UDAY.
The DHBVN or Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam— one of the two state power distribution companies of Haryana that joined the UDAY scheme on March 11, 2016 has not just been able to completely wipe out its losses for the first time but has also posted a profit of Rs 201.35 crore in the first half of the current financial year (2016-17) as against a loss of Rs 479 crore last financial year (2015-16).
Haryana state has two DISCOMs namely UHBVNL and DHBVNL that joined UDAY on11-Mar- 2016. While the state had incurred a loss of Rs 815 cr in 2015-16 for both DISCOMs combined and had given loss projections of Rs. 2911Crs for 2016-17, Rs. 1878 Crs for 2017-18 and Rs. 456 Crs for 2018-19, it is noteworthy that one of the two DISCOMs is back to profits—the first ever since it was created.
Even though minister Piyush Goyal had to spend days and months in convincing some of the 18 states, who have already joined UDAY, the profitable turnaround of Haryana's DHBVNL will convince those handful of remaining states to come on board and enjoy the benefits of this first of its kind scheme.
As per the projections by the Haryana state, the first ever profit of Rs 80 cr from the state DISCOMS was to come in 2019-20. State officials said the major cause of concern for the State is high ACS (Average Cost of Supply) which is Rs.8.37/unit H1 FY 17 against the National Average of Rs. 6.66/unit. The cost of energy not billed (Energy Lost) for the State is Rs. 1.85/unit indicating high incidence of theft.
With a positive beginning made by one of the two state DISCOMs, the focus is now on the other DISCOM, Uttar Haryana Bijli Vitaran Nigam Ltd., Panchkula (UHBVNL) that still has reported the loss of Rs-1233 cr in the first half of 2016-17 against the loss of Rs. -336 Crs in FY 16 (full year). Officials added that in UHBVNL there is the issue of Lower Billing Efficiency of 67.01%, high AT&C loss of 36.62% and higher GAP of Rs. 1.67/unit (on Energy Sold Basis).
The ATC loss for the State stood at 29.75% in first half of 2016-17 with an annual target of 24.02% in 2016-17 i.e. a slippage of 24%. The slippage is mainly on the part of UHBVNL which has slipped from 34.16% in FY 16 to 36.62% in H1 FY 17 against the yearly target of 25.94%. So UHBVNL has to improve by at least 41% of AT&C loss reduction from the existing achievement which is a big task ahead.
On the other hand, DHBVNL has made an AT&C loss achievement of 24.09% (H1 FY 17) against the yearly target of 22.48% (MoU) which shows that there is a slippage of 7%. DHBVNL targets are soft comparatively and they should try to achieve more in case of AT&C Loss reduction.
Hence while one of the DISCOM, DHBVNL is moving on the path of turnaround which is appreciable, the other DISCOM, UHBVNL needs to catch up fast to ensure that UDAY targets are met within agreed time lines. Nonetheless the achievement of DHBVNL is a clear indication of the success that can be achieved under the scheme thereby helping the state power companies come out from the financial mess that they have been facing over the years.

Background: We have been able to rip and manage audio tracks from Music CDs for years, but there is not an automated process to do the same with Music DVDs. The following process provides one way of manually creating these Video Tracks and how to configure JRiver's Media Center 12 (MC12) https://www.videohelp.com/tools/J._River_Media_Center so that they are handled just like the rest of your music collection. Of course this process can only be used where permitted by your local laws for the Music DVD's that you own.
What Tools you will need: Apart from MC12, the only other thing you will need is a DVD Ripper capable of outputting each DVD Chapter as an initial file – for this example we are using DVD Decrypter.
What you need to do: You will need to change the IFO Mode Settings for the File Splitting to be "By Chapter" as shown below.
After selecting IFO Mode under the Mode Tab you should be presented by the following window where you would select the PGC containing the Chapters you need to rip. Each chapter should represent one of the tracks on the disk + potentially other tracks like credits etc. You may even find multiple PGCs that contain the Chapters you want (they will be mostly the same material but can be presented in different orders, or contain a different set of tracks).
The Stream Processing tab then lets you select what you want to extract from the DVD. In my case I want the Video and the 5CH DTS Audio track. You may want to select a different Audio Track for your needs.
From here press the DVD to Disk button and wait as the chapters are ripped to your selected directory.
If you have not already, you will now need to ensure you can see the full name of each file including the file extension by unchecking the "Hide extensions for known file types"
As there is no Music DVD Track based lookup internet based lookup service you will need to start renaming the file and folder names yourself. Remember to use the same naming convention as you use for your Music Tracks. For me it is "## Track Name" but you MUST change the file extension from .VOB to .MPG as shown below so they will play in MC12. When you are finished you can delete the IFO file and any of the VOBs you don't want to keep (eg the credits etc).
Move the lot of the files into you folder structure based on "Artist > Album" (eg in this case it is in "Queen? > "Greatest Video Hits 1") so it should now look like the following.
Then start MC12 and run "File > Library > Run Auto Import Now". You should then see under "Recently Imported" something like the following. (Note: you should also see the Thumbnails being built during this import process).
You now need to select all these files, right click on them and use the "Library Tools > File Properties from Filename" option. You should get a Diag box as below and you change the values to suite your particular schema for Artist, Album, Track # and Name. MC12 will then read the file structure detail and update its fields accordingly.
You can now use MC12 to rate each track, assign Genre's accordingly to suit your needs. I used the Genre field in my Video collection to distinguish between Music Videos, Home Videos, TV Series, etc.
The Result: It's a bit of work but you to benefits:
1) Your Music Video is now stored on the HDD as individual MPG files, and
2) Your Music Video Tracks are being managed in MC12 just like Audio Tracks.
Eg: I primarily use Theater View with the BlackStar Blue visualisation so I can now mix a match in Playlists (including smartlists) where BOTH Audio and Video music plays either Full Screen video during a Music Video Track or alternatively displays the BlackStar Blue Vis (including Coverart etc) when it is an Audio only tracks. Also for Audioscrobbler users, changing the plug in to also accept *.MPG as a file type then also updates your Last FM stats. The following gives you an idea of how the end product looks from Theater View

The BodyworkBiz site as you've come to know it will close down for good as of the end of June. If you've purchased the BodyworkBiz Retirement Package your access ends in June. I extended access from one year to two and a half years, but the site is aging and has to come down.
New Resources Available for You
If you've taken any of the courses, you know how practical and effective they are at bringing new clients into your practice and increasing your sales. So I hate to let these incredible resources simply get dusty and die.
So last year I produced 60 Clients in 60 Days as a book, which quickly became a number one bestseller on Amazon. And not too many months ago I quietly released Fill Your Practice 101 as a book as well. (Sorry I didn't tell you about that one.) They are priced super low, so that anyone can afford them. So you should probably click over to Amazon now and pick them up.
My plan over this next year is to gradually publish all the BodyworkBiz classes and resources as books or video courses and make them available on public platforms like Amazon and SkillShare.
This first video course is free!
The first course I'm releasing is a video course, the "TinyLetter Guide: How to set up, design and send your first email newsletter in under and hour… for FREE!"
This is an updated version of the "watch and do" portion of the Email Marketing Lesson from the Web Marketing MBA program.
And you can get access to it for free if you like! I'll tell you how in a minute.
I've always said that every therapist should be developing an email list and communicating regularly with their clients. It doesn't matter if you have 30 clients or 3,000 clients. And I'm constantly shocked that almost no therapists do this.
I think part of the problem is that the idea of writing and producing an email newsletter is just too intimidating… and possibly expensive. Well four years ago, one of the largest commercial email providers, MailChimp, released a free service that made the whole process super simple. It's not much more complicated than writing an email in Gmail or in whatever email program you use. At the same time it takes care of all the unpleasant tasks like managing subscribers, keeping archives, tracking replies, creating signup forms. All that yucky stuff is mostly invisible to you, so you can focus on what's important: Developing a relationship with your clients.
So in this video course, which is about an hour long, I'll take you through the process of setting up your own email newsletter. All you need to do is look over my shoulder and my screen and do what I do. Just pause the video when you need to to complete your task. In about an hour, we'll:
- Sign you up and configure your account
- Create and customize your sign up form
- Design your newsletter
- Write the newsletter copy
- Add five subscribers
- And send your first newsletter
…all in about an hour!
And the email service is absolutely free!
No strings, no catches, no upsells, no advertising. The only limitation is that you can only have 5,000 subscribers. But, hey! If you have 5,000 subscribers you can probably afford to pay me to manage a paid email service for you.
How do you get it for free?
You can sign up to the TinyLetter newsletter service for free on your own anytime. But if you really want to make it happen, be absolutely sure to watch my video course. It's hosted on SkillShare which is an online learning community with over 15,000 courses.
You need to sign up, but you can get the first month free by signing up through this link:
You're under no obligation. You can cancel your subscription anytime within a month and pay nothing, but at just $8 per month for the annual plan, it's worth it to sign up. I'll be posting all my future video courses on this site and as a SkillShare subscriber, you'll have access to all of them.
If you want to see the introduction to the course (it's just my talking head), go here:
Keep your eye on your inbox over the next two weeks and I'll provide you with additional information and resources around using email to build your practice.

Distance run: 1.5 miles
Time taken: 15:26
I'm such a loser. I haven't run for six days, and the best distance I can muster up is 1.5 miles.... Which is roughly 2.4k. I mean, I coulda gone for longer, but I just couldn't make myself stay on the treadmill.
I went to the gym fully intending on running 3 miles, and getting back on track, but I didn't. This half marathon is getting closer and closer. I'm just a little discouraged.
Try again tomorrow I guess.

The horoscope of the United States' thirty-fifth president is unique. With all the planets above the horizon, except Uranus in Aquarius (which is a singleton retrograde planet) in his fourth house of family of origins, and family of creation his ultimate leadership in his family, "The Winner". The Kennedy family remains the most politically influential family in the US, but JFK's Uranus shows him to be the focus and living symbol of his eccentric, innovative, exclusive, paradoxical, and tragic pioneering family. Uranus in its own sign is in a square to the Taurus planets in his eighth house, and with that came both opportunity and danger - Wu Chi in the Chinese symbol. The family created a paradox in his nature, in that he was both an iconoclast AND a conservative. The fact that he was the first President to be a non-Mason and Catholic was revolutionary, but some of his politics were old school.
JFK's Saturn in Cancer at the Midheaven, represents his natural rise to authority from his family dynasty; Saturn also is conjunct Neptune (dreams, social consciousness) thus he captured the imagination and vision of the country, and held and molded the dreams of a generation that changed global consciousness. With Libra rising, and a Gemini Sun he was gregarious, versatile and socially gifted, however he led a deeply private life – like the "compound" in which his family was sequestered and bred in private.
A chronic back problem had kept him from the Army, but he served active duty in the Navy, receiving numerous medals, honorifics and awards - saving many lives in a deadly and dramatic naval incident, the now famous PT 109. His Virgo moon in the eleventh house trine Mars in Taurus is the "service" warrior, the steadfast, solid, dependable and heroic leader in a crisis.
Kennedy had a brilliant background, scholastic career, military and political successes; but the public did not know the degree to which he suffered exceptional pain at all times. He once was treated for suspected leukemia – 1935 was the year in which not only was he declared at his elite boarding school, "Most Likely to Succeed", but also when his body began to manifest multiple symptoms.
A combination of sheer bullish will (Mars, Mercury and Jupiter in Taurus in a creative and easy relationship with his Moon) and a league of physicians, kept him adept at his work and play, even under chronic pain; he was frequently at death's door, and apparently may not have lived even three to four years after his assassination.
Ultimately, he had developed a complicated disease called "autoimmune polyendrocrine syndrome", manifesting in Addison's disease; colitis; hypothyroidism; diabetes type 1, and hypgonadism; digestive; thyroid; kidney and hormonal disorders. That very same Virgo Moon is in a square aspect to Sun/Venus in Gemini, lead to less glamorous experiences than the "reliable hero".
The Moon square Venus has layers of meaning, however the sensitivity of his body to a host of illnesses with Kennedy's stellium of planets in the eighth house – in part –represent, sexuality; death; the 'underworld'; inherited and corporate financial resources; DNA: genetic illness and behavioral complexes – all family related! The family itself was beleaguered with secrets, death and deadly diseases yet the mystery of this dynamic family captured the hearts and imaginations of the world - a mythic family - in fact, one that has had the most dramatic and tragic fate.
Autoimmune system enhancers have side effects. With zero testosterone, when boosted, led to his constant need for sexual release. His notorious affairs with women are part of this eighth house stellium because sexuality and sensuality are both Scorpio/Taurus and eighth house realms. When it came to sex, he was an Olympian god. Zeus-like, he wooed and won hundreds of women – but did not form intimate relationships.
JFK's Moon in Virgo in a square to Venus, mentioned as part of his hormonal and kidney problems, also addresses a split in his anima – the "inner feminine" of a man. This aspect signifies a rupture in his psychological relationship with his mother, who herself was split between being matriarch and also goddess. The Moon (the Ideal Woman-Wife archetype) in a hard aspect to Venus (Independent Goddess archetype) plagued Jack by his need for both. Marilyn Monroe and Jacqueline Bouvier personified his Moon/Venus tension, his needs both for the safety of wife and hearth, as well as the projection of Marilyn as the Sex Goddess.
Libra rising, Venus ruled, he was the epitome the "beautiful people" of the 1960's ethos; a force to contend with when it came to civil rights and defense of freedom of the people. But his Gemini Sun and Venus brought a paradox to his policies and a duality to his actions: he funded and supported the civil rights movement, but he also funded Viet Nam; he was a warrior, and Cuban Crisis and the Russian "problem" his moment of terror; he returned the "Green Beret" to Special Forces, yet was posthumously awarded the Pacem in Terris Award "Peace on Earth". Ironic? Iconic!
There is no doubt that John Kennedy embodied the most dramatic aspects of his family, as well as exemplifying the complex times during which he presided – for three short years, 1036 days - as Commander in Chief of the United States
Kennedy became an icon. His charisma, charm and capacity for mediation, seduction, the "right people" and subtle political maneuvering remains historical – he held both glamour and power, conservative and liberal values and remains one of the three greatest presidents.
Though his assassination remains shrouded in mystery his life was luminous and full of excitement, future, progress and pioneering. Just six years after he introduced the Apollo project, men walked on the Moon, as he had predicted; civil rights continue to play uppermost in the US arena; and everyone alive then, remembers where they were on November 22, 1963!

It has been the mission of the Volunteer Youth Leaders for Health-Philippines to expand its network all over the country. Likewise, it has been the desire of every volunteer to help in involving additional youth leaders and organizations to the advocacy. In the past, the network has focused on reaching to school and community-based organizations.
With these, I sought the opportunity to orient and train the nurses of Valencia Sanitarium and Hospital Foundation, Inc. (VSH) and to create an NBS Team in the hospital. Through their active participation, the plan to pilot a hospital-based organization, a VYLH-Philippines Hospital Chapter, materialized. This type of local network of volunteers and health providers aims to empower its members in influencing the whole community of Valencia and its neighboring municipalities in Bukidnon. This will be possible in the participation of volunteers in the medical outreach and strategic programs conducted by the hospital. Through these ride-on activities, volunteers can easily promote not only newborn screening but also other advocacies of the Network, such as folic acid supplementation and support to Filipinos with rare disorders.

(Read more on VYLH-Philippines Advocacies).
Recently, the hospital launched its Newborn Screening Program last July 5. The event was graced by the Newborn Screening Program Coordinator of the City Health Office of Valencia City, Dr. Juniver Flores (Medical Officer IV). The program aims to make the hospital the center of the Newborn Screening Program in the City of Valencia and the Province of Bukidnon.
Through the full support and constant collaboration with government agencies and non-government organizations, youth organizations, other stakeholders, the hospital administration and its employees, the members of the VYLH chapter in VSH will continue its commitment and its involvement in advancing the advocacy in saving the future of our babies from mental retardation and early death.

Mission managers have determined that shuttle Atlantis will not launch before Tuesday due to the additional time needed to complete inspections of any possible damage caused by the lightning strike on Friday. No damage has been discovered thus far but more time is needed to finish analyzing the data collected.
A press briefing will be held at 2:00pm EDT.
If a rollback is decided, its not clear if STS-115 could launch before the window closes.
A decision to rollback could come as early as this afternoon.
According to NASA Associate Administrator for Space Operations Bill Gerstenmaier, NASA is in the midst of competing objectives: preparing to launch STS-115 and preparing to rollback Atlantis in the situation that Hurricane Ernesto continues on its projected track.
Per Gerstenmaier, "this is the most awesome training scenario" as it is forcing all of NASA's orbiter teams to work together. For example, to determine if the lightning strike on Friday caused damage to the SRBs, the booster team is having to work with the orbiter team to learn if Atlantis' powered-on systems were able to record data valuable to their investigations.
Likewise, Michoud has needed to look at ET shipment preparation in the case that Ernesto disrupts normal shipping lanes. They needed to consider where to move the ET barge and where to dock the SRB retrieval ships so that both were accessible, if need be.
As a result, there are conflicting activities underway at KSC right now. A crawler is being put through its cycles to insure NASA has use of both transporters in the case that a rollback is needed. A pair of SRBs stacked on a MLP sitting in the VAB's high bay 3 will be moved soon to make way for Atlantis, if necessary.
At the same time, Atlantis is not being off-loaded of its cryos, to keep open the option to launch on Tuesday.
An Mission Management Team (MMT) meeting is planned for 6:00p.m. EDT with a press briefing scheduled for NET 8:00 p.m.

With all earlier technical concerns cleared, the decision to launch will rely on the path of Ernesto and whether its current track changes "significantly" overnight.
If the decision is made to rollback, NASA will begin off-loading the fuel cell cryos at 7am. The process to prepare Atlantis to move from the pad to the VAB will take approximately 36 hours, during which time NASA could make the decision to stay at the pad and ride out the storm.
By midday Tuesday however, if the storm's path has not altered, the crawler will transport the shuttle the 4.2 miles from 39B, arriving inside at or around midnight.
If Atlantis is rolled back, it will be difficult for NASA to make the launch window, which closes on Sept. 7. In addition to lighting constraints, the window is limited by the Russian's plan to launch Soyuz with Expedition 14 on September 14. Flight rules dictate that the shuttle and Soyuz cannot be at the station at the same time.
The Soyuz launch date is constrained by the date and time when it would return with the Expedition 13 crew. If they launch after Sept. 14, the landing would occur in the dark of early morning (20 minutes earlier each day) making recovery operations more difficult.
NASA will begin discussions with their Russian counterparts later tonight (or morning in Russia) about the options available should a rollback be necessary.
If STS-115 cannot be launched during the current window, the next opportunity will be in late October, though its limited to only a couple of days due to lighting constraints.

The problem with pushing ahead on Tuesday with the storm still on its current track is that in the case of a scrub, there would not be enough time to move Atlantis back into the VAB, where it would be safe from possible tropical storm-speed winds.

The best we can hope for is another jog to the right that puts yours truly and KSC on the western (and more gentle)side of the storm.Don't you just hate it when uninvited guests crash your party?
BTW saw you on NASA Select after Bill G's afternoon conference.

PS. If your volume is turned up, you may want to turn it down before looking at the photos (music).
Meanwhile, the agency continues to track Ernesto's projected path and will continually evaluate if Atlantis can safely ride out the storm on the pad.
If the shuttle can remain where it is now, the earliest STS-115 might launch is "late this weekend".
If Atlantis rolls back to the Vehicle Assembly Building, it is unlikely that NASA can make the end of the Sept. 7 window dictated by the Russian's Soyuz launch schedule.
If there is a rollback, it will take 8 days from the point the shuttle arrives back on the pad to launch.
The STS-115 crew may need to evacuate to Houston, if hurricane precautions call for their T-38s to be removed from the area. In the meantime, they are using the extra time to run additional simulations on laptop computers, fly the shuttle training aircraft and spend time with their families.
The current path of Ernesto has the storm shifted eastward:
This timeline is earlier than previously discussed because the STS-115 stack must now go to VAB high-bay 2. There was an issue with one of the crawlers today and the STS-116 stack (pictured above) was moved back to VAB high bay 3 after a brief excursion outside.
The path to high bay 2 takes an additional four hours although the plan is to use 1.0 mph versus the normal 0.8 mph crawler speed if needed to make up about 2 hours of time.
The lightning predictions for tomorrow afternoon are also a concern. The crawler must stop motion if lighting occurs during rollback. The team would then need to abandon the vehicle and move 1000 feet away per safety rules.
Mission managers are receiving a weather briefing after which they are expected to announce their decision. If they decide to roll, first motion is currently scheduled to begin at 9:39 a.m. EDT.
NASA's decision repotedly hinges between the shuttle being caught between the pad and VAB during a mid- to late-afternoon lightning storm or being caught on the pad when strong winds start tossing about debris.
I understand a launch after Sept 7th would cause the Soyuz to return in the dark. I understand the relunctance to do that with S&R tasks being privatized.
What would happen if they delayed the Soyuz crew transfer until after that shuttle did it's job? Thereby giving NASA until the middle of the month to launch Atlantis. Is it because of the battery life on the Soyuz?

A reevaluation of Tropical Storm Ernesto's path and strength has caused NASA managers to reverse direction of the crawler transporter and return Atlantis to the launch pad, where it will wait out the storm.
The journey back will take approximately 5 hours.
NASA does not yet know when they will try next to launch STS-115.

It may be possible that NASA can compress the preparation and shed a few days from the schedule, but that is yet to be seen.
"NASA Mission Managers have decided to return Atlantis to Launch Pad 39B today. The space shuttle is expected it to be back in place by about 8 p.m. EDT. The decision came as Tropical Storm Ernesto was predicted to skirt further west than first expected, allowing a sufficient decrease in winds to permit the shuttle to ride out the storm at the pad. Launch Director Mike Leinbach and the team made the determination at 2:40 p.m. EDT. Atlantis had begun its trek to the Vehicle Assembly Building, atop the crawler-transporter, at 10:04 a.m. this morning"
I know the shuttle programme has had it's ups and downs....but it's back and forths is really too much to handle!! lol
Does this amount to the first ever RTLS? (After nearly getting back to the VAB)

And, of course, when the Shuttle is operating as it was designed to do, it just goes in circles. Big circles around the Earth, that is.

Heresy has, as a rule, received a bad reputation over the last two-thousand years (give or take a century). This is really quite unfortunate. See, the problem is that most people hear the word today and think what my Apple electronic dictionary tells me it means:
heresy |ˈherəsē|noun ( pl. heresies ) belief or opinion contrary to orthodox religious (esp. Christian) doctrine: Huss was burned for heresy | the doctrine was denounced as a heresy by the pope.• opinion profoundly at odds with what is generally accepted: cutting capital gains taxes is heresy | the politician's heresies became the conventional wisdom of the day.
But the problem is that these definitions and uses of the term are technically inaccurate. An opinion that is "contrary to orthodox religious doctrine," whether Christian or not, is really a heterodox perspective, or one that is "not conforming with accepted or orthodox standards or beliefs," as the Apple dictionary rightly puts it.
Heresy is much more complicated.
One of the best ways that I've heard heresy explained is as "a partial truth mistaken for the whole truth." The very definition here does not, in any way, suggest a view "contrary to orthodox religious doctrine," but one that is mistakingly incomplete or in need of further explication.
Think of the early Christological heresies that were declared such after the first Ecumenical Councils. Take the belief that Jesus was only human (or, more technically, a creature, because even Arius didn't claim that Jesus was simply an ordinary dude, but just not what would eventually be called homoousious with God the Father). In a sense, what is being advocated here by Arius and those who would follow him is in part correct: Jesus is, according to the orthodox decrees, absolutely human! However, that's just part of the truth. The other part is that Jesus of Nazareth, as the Incarnate Logos, is also fully divine (as will again be affirmed in more detail at the Council of Chalcedon).
Today the term heresy gets tossed around without due regard for the fact that there is actually some truth to be found in such a position. It is not that anyone should be simply resigned to maintain that view or accept it as complete, but to call someone a "heretic" is to implicitly recognize the unexpected value in his or her view. What we do in response is the important thing.
Burning people at the stake, whether literally or figuratively (and boy, are there lots of ways to do it figuratively on the internet! Just look at some blogs, such as those maintained by priests that go by singular alphabetical monikers), is not the answer. I hope that we've learned that centuries ago.
So what do we do in the meantime? There is a tradition in the church of dialogue and debate that has, it seems to me, long been lost. I think it needs to return.
While the views of many are not always orthodox, they may not necessarily be heterodox. Instead, they're probably heretical which, as I hope you've picked up at this point, isn't so bad. Perhaps the dialogue needs to begin with a community's recognition of what truth is truly present in the initial view and then have a theologically and scripturally informed discussion — without lighting torches and screaming at the top of one's lungs — about what additional dimensions of the truth are needed, what's doctrinally at stake in the broader argument, and how it fits in (or doesn't) with the teaching of the community of faith.
Being a heretic isn't such a bad thing. Being intolerant and impatient is.
Coming to understand one another is the key and working to move from partial truths to fuller ones is the answer.

|Renal US with dopplers
|Renal US longitudinal view
|Abdominal CT with renal tx on right lower quadrant
|Abdominal CT with red-marked kidney parenchyma
Diagnosis: Page kidney is a condition where extrinsic renal compression from a haematoma or mass results in hypertension and loss of renal function. This condition was initially described by Irwin Page in an animal model with cellophane papers wrapped around the kidney in 1939 and, subsequently, clinically in 1955.Most cases are caused by a subcapsular haematoma following blunt trauma or invasive procedures (eg. renal biopsy). Few cases of spontaneous hematoma have also been reported. Acute renal failure is due to a decreased perfusion of the compressed kidney as a result of pressure exerted by the subcapsular haematoma. In our case, the drop in platelets (4,000) after chemotherapy might have precipitated the bleeding from the previously biopsied site.
Treatment involves relief of the pressure and restoration of blood flow by percutaneous drainage. Nephrectomy is recommended in cases not resolved by interventional nephrology. Conservative course (observation and medical management) has been performed in some case reports.

Justin Timberlake unveils new song
Suit & Tie is his first tune in too long … but it's not exactly a barn burner. Featuring horns, rapper Jay-Z and a retro soul vibe, Timberlake sounds more like Bruno Mars than himself.
Listen to it here.
"This year is an exciting one for me. As you probably have heard through the 'grapevine,' I'm gearing up for a big 2013," JT writes in an open letter to his fans.
"Back in June of last year, I quietly started working on what is now, my next journey with that thing I love called MUSIC.
"The inspiration for this really came out of the blue and to be honest, I didn't expect anything out of it. I just went into the studio and started playing around with some sounds and songs. It was probably the best time I've had in my career… Just creating with no rules and/or end goal in mind and really enjoying the process.
"What I came up with is something I couldn't be more excited about! It is full of inspiration that I grew up listening to and some newfound muses that I've discovered along the way.
"I'm calling it The 20/20 Experience, and it's coming out this year."

Her decision rejected the employer's argument that an anti-bullying policy and manual had been written since the incidents had occurred, and that this meant there was no risk of bullying occurring in the future. Roberts and The View are due to meet in order to discuss the nature of the anti-bullying order to be made. The claim was brought under the bullying provisions of the Fair Work Act, which allow the FWC to make orders to 'stop bullying at work', but do not allow the tribunal to award compensation. Alan McDonald, managing director at McDonald Murholme, told HRM that Tasmania takes the lead when it comes to protecting employees in the workplace. "The decision of Deputy President Wells demonstrates leadership in helping Australia become a 21st century employer in expectation of the new Turnbull Government," he said. "Deputy President Wells protected a long-standing employee against bullying and childish taunts from a small business employer." McDonald also emphasised that all employers should be wary of mistreating employees simply because they have the power to do so. "Employees must obey the lawful commands of employers but as Deputy President Wells makes clear, that is not to lead an employee to be abusive or insulting," he said.

|me & moses right before we both had blood transfusions in the same week.
this was the second poem i memorized, after "stopping by woods on a snowy evening," learned when i was ten years old because my mom offered me ten bucks.
Sonnet XXIX
When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,
Desiring this man's art and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
(Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth) sings hymns at heaven's gate;
so, though i now can't handle most of shakespeare because of his intense misogyny, because i hate elizabethan mistaken identity tropes, because i tired of the hermetic nature of the sonnet, and because i simply got burned out on the bard, the lines from this sonnet run through my mind unbidden.
i knew the aftermath of finishing my doctorate was going to be rough, but i didn't know how rough. i didn't know i'd be dealing with a herniated disk, extreme anemia requiring a blood transfusion, a kid's tonsillectomy gone so wrong he also required a transfusion, and a code team, restless legs syndrome (gone now--i think it was the anemia), percocet withdrawal (aftermath of the herniated disk), and the worst thing of all--
this deep restlessnes & casting & casting about. no book or movie or music or television or writing can hold me still for longer than a few minutes.
on account of the back problem, i haven't been practicing yoga for six months now, worsening my state of groundlessness. on account of my brain problem (which could also be anemia related), i haven't really been writing much. I haven't had anything i'm excited about going on for months. i've missed a all the important deadlines for three months. i've missed blogging. i've missed writing practice and yoga practice. i've missed cooking, something that often engages and soothes me when i'm feeling contented least. something i currently have no desire to do.
i need my lark, my muse, my something back.
