Migration and human capital in Brazil during the 1990s
Nearly 40 percent of all Brazilians have migrated at one point and time, and in-migrants represent substantial portions of regional populations. Migration in Brazil has historically been a mechanism for adjustment to disequilibria. Poorer regions and those with fewer economic opportunities have traditionally sent migrants to more prosperous regions. As such, the southeast region, where economic conditions are most favorable, has historically received migrants from the northeast region. Migration should have benefited both regions. The southeast benefits by importing skilled and unskilled labor that makes local capital more productive. The northeast can benefit from upward pressures on wages and through remittances that migrant households return to their region of origin. The northeast of Brazil is a net sender of migrants to the southeast. In recent years a large number of people moved from the southeast to the northeast. Compared with northeast to southeast (NE-SE) migrants, southeast to northeast (SE-NE) migrants are less homogeneous regarding age, wage, and income. SE-NE migrants are on average poorer and less educated than the southeast average, while NE-SE migrants are financially better off and higher educated than the northeast average. The authors find that the predicted returns to migration are increasing with education for SE-NE migrants and decreasing for NE-SE migrants. They further observe that the returns to migration have been decreasing for NE-SE migrants and increasing for SE-NE migrants between 1995 and 1999. This finding helps explain migration dynamics in Brazil. While the predicted positive returns to migration for NE-SE migrants indicate that NE-SE migration follows in general the human capital approach to migration, the estimated lower returns to migration for SE-NE may indicate that nonmonetary factors also play a role in SE-NE migration.

Think about what career is best suited for you, and where you want to study. Request more information now.
Learn about Northern Kentucky University course catalog, and registering for elective seminars and discussion sections. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. It may surprise you that it's possible to enroll for a full-time course load, without having any 8am classes at all. Finally, check with the admissions office for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Northern Kentucky University major requirement information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Northern Kentucky University.
Research demonstrates that college freshman taking a full courseload go on to complete their degrees at a much higher rate than those students who study part-time. When choosing a major, plan ahead and be sure that you are picking courses that will meet transfer requirements of other colleges and universities later on. Further, by choosing your major early, you may be able to take some required core classes in a community college, saving both time and tuition fees.
Look at all the schools in your state first, as in-state tuition may be lower for state residents. The course catalog will outline which classes are required for a particular major, and what minimum GPA you'll need to maintain your class standing. Please contact the academic advising staff at the school you are interested in applying to about their specific course registration guidelines. Beyond degree requirements such as Northern Kentucky University classes, you may consider LSC Tomball cancellations for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

It used this OPI nail polish and liked the ease of the one stop application. It didn't have a harsh smell and the colour was shimmery pink. It lasted well on the toes, but less so on my hands. I guess I should wear gloves when gardening!
This is my go-to opaque pink creme from OPI. It requires three coats, but has this awesome jelly-like consistency and it's always hard to find an opaque pink like this, this one is the one for me.
Swatches on my blog
I use the OPI Pinking of You nail polish for my french manicure. I love the look of it and it has pretty decent staying power. I always find OPI to be a little more expensive that the rest but they are worth it because of the cool colors offered.
I absolutely love OPI Pinking of You. It is a creamy pink color that looks like a french manicure with a tint on pink on darker skin tones like myself. I use this color in the spring/summer and I always get compliments on it when I have it on. I find OPI nail polish products to be very good quality as well... it does not chip easily and lasts longer than most nail polish brands on my nails.

Last time I tried to just pick her up and put her in when she was as upset as she is today she pulled half of my ring finger fingernail out from the nail bed in one swoop. Wynter is currently trying to coax her as she is now running from me everytime she hears my voice. Sigh. If I have to cancel again today, my vet might fire me.

Its so amazing and infact shockingly amazing how some Christian leaders are seeking and attracting the validation of people(unchristianed) to be relevant in their works.Nigeria is noted for corruption,,the media and every sector of the country is messed up with injustices,corruption and everything negative,,,but in this vein, we see these corruptable elements naming streets after some pastors,,in some cases giving them titles such as MON,OON etc,,,just recently some re even fighting its their Bishop that deserved to be Nigerias living legend and not another churches GO,,,
Its crazily fritghtening and terrifying how men of God are now being transformed to God of men!!,, In those days, as young christians, we criticise celestial church and Aladura because they pray in the names of their founding fathers,,,and these re just a few reason why there was a drift from white garment churches to the new generation pentecostalism( in most cases they re men's idea),,however, same thing is being done here,,we see people praying in the name of their Bishop and GO,,,and that is just the beginning of religion,,when people can't think outside their own box.
In a society where the likes of Gani Fawehinmi, Chinua Achebe and Wole soyinka,,,,can be more trusted for their sncerety and commitment towards the upliftment of the citizens plights,,by constantly challenging the authorities and rejecting any form of gifts,Title or street naming in protest against the political and social injustices,,,I would rather wanna find my Nigerian Legend in the above than looking for a spiritual Icon,,
More than the above,,John the Baptist exhibited the spirits and courage of the above names,,,and for that reason, he challenges the Government of his days,,,and was killed for that purpose,,,Martin Luther King did thesame thing for USA,,where and who are the Nigerian Christian Leaders to do a thing like this??
Save for Tunde Bakare,,,Just one of a few Pastors I respect in Nigeria,,,The church has a strong responsibilty to shape the country,,but it has woefully failed in its bid,,and it continues to fail because the Pastors re all seeking men's glory and not God's.
My annoyance is however, the majority of people who have been so dehumanised,brainwashed,skewed and twisted to think that their salvation lies in their pastors,,even in a clear and vivid misdeeds,,they still bow and worship God of men,,,sorry men of God,,whichever way,,,its ok,,thats Nigeria for you,,,

Massive Open Online Courses offer a variety of learning programs, utilizing cloud-based software and Google APIs to deliver a real-time learning environment online.
The high quality of classes, combined with low-cost tuition, encourages many high school graduates to continue their education at a community college.

If you want to learn to write and speak well in English, there's no easy way around long hours of English conversation practice and writing drills. Whether you would like to study creative writing, to broaden your cultural skills, or are leaning towards technical writing, improving your English language skills may help you land a job after graduation. While it's true that you may become an author online, self-publishing Kindle books, it's also true that English writing ability is a great skill to list on your resume.
For assignments in report writing classes, make the paragraph your basis of composing the report, and limit each paragraph to a specific topic. In fact, begin each paragraph with your topic sentence, both in creative writing as well as for technical writing. Choose a method of organizing your thoughts, in order to complete an application essay or a college writing assignment. The simplest method of English composition is either narration or description, followed by comparison and finally persuasive writing.

I have a girlfriend, but as a 21 year old with hormones running rampant, I'm still in that "tuck my penis in my pants to my belly button in class when I get a hard on" phase and obviously think about what it would be like to fuck a black girl with a big fat floppy bum.

Hey! It's me, here I am!
Whats that? Whats my name you say?
Well, round these parts I go by SammyScoops. I know, I know, you're probably thinking; what the F*#@ kinda name is that? Right? Well, blame it on my mother, at least thats what I do. In reality (or would this be virtual reality?), it's a lazy and unimaginative combination of two of my favorite, although unimaginative, nicknames [I'm sensing a pattern here] …. I guess that's what happens when your brain farts.
Despite its lame, bastard child like genesis, it still rings true, or at least that's what I've convinced myself. I'm a curious guy with an inquisitive mind, some would say a hyperactive one, much like the rest of what it's attached to….[can you feel the words bouncing off the page yet?]. Not only that, I like to share those interesting facts, my inquisitive mind leads me to find.
I also like to make people laugh, and have a way of thinking and talking (about anything) that is distinctly my own, and if the joke went over someones head, or people don't think something I said was funny, thats alright cause its not my fault they're a dwarf, besides I crack myself up!
The only problem with these otherwise noble, and admirable qualities (notice humility didn't make the top 10?) is that I tend to say what I think, when I'm thinking it in most cases. As I'm sure you could imagine, that doesn't always end well for me especially in anything that has to do with the following;
- situations that require silence,
- or gravity,
- anything thats boring,
- waiting one's turn,
- interactions with authority figures
- especially up-tight people and their prissy ass sensitive feelings
- people with no sense of humor
- the general public
- small children,
- poop flinging monkeys [ pssst, 9 and 10 are related…its a story I'll have to tell you some other time]
- relationships
- unicorns
- bullshit
- places that smell like bullshit
- so on and so forth, etc. etc., you get the picture.
Nothing I say is said for the purpose of spite, still, not everyone finds the punch-lines as funny as I. Alas, so is life. What I usually tell myself is, "Fuck em if they can't take a joke!". It seems to help, I sleep fine at night.
At first glance, one might guess this blog is all fun and games, but let me assure you;
This is not the case!
More often than not, its on serious thoughts my focus remains, and therefore, these pages contain. I like to think, and write, and write while I'm thinking and think while I'm writing thinking about writing. And I like to do all these things about more serious stuff than just the fluff. Like Keanu Reeves (playing Keanu Reeves), I'm a natural at being the Devils Advocate, asking those pesky questions, like "Why?", or "Why not?" of an important topic.
I'd like to think no issue is too big, or too controversial to be off limits, cause that'd just be so cocky of it. The more uncomfortable the subject, or varied the responses, the better. Perhaps we each have things to teach one another about each other. It's my goal to pass this amazing thing called thinking onto others, it's become something of a lost art form; we're all much poorer for it. More important than the act of thinking to me, is the thoughts themselves. I hope we can have an honest discourse, and share them, like servicemen in a brothel on 48hr pass share the clap; only without antibiotics.
The end goal isn't that we agree, or disagree, just that we think, and we speak, and if necessary, agree to disagree.

text: The Orexin-1 Receptor Antagonist SB-334867 Reduces Alcohol Relapse Drinking, but not Alcohol-Seeking, in Alcohol-Preferring (P) RatsDhaher, Ronnie PhD; Hauser, Sheketha R. PhD; Getachew, Bruk PhD; Bell, Richard L. PhD; McBride, William J. PhD; McKinzie, David L. PhD; Rodd, Zachary A. PhDJournal of Addiction Medicine: September 2010 - Volume 4 - Issue 3 - p 153-159 doi: 10.1097/ADM.0b013e3181bd893f Original Article Abstract Author Information Principle: The orexin system has been hypothesized to regulate drug-seeking and drug self-administration behaviors, including ethanol (EtOH) seeking and consumption. However, studies on the effects of orexin receptor antagonists have not been conducted on robust alcohol-relapse behavior. Objectives: This study assessed the effects of the orexin-1 receptor antagonist, SB-334867, on alcohol-seeking behavior and responding for alcohol under relapse conditions. Methods: Adult alcohol-preferring (P) rats self-trained in 2-lever operant chambers to administer 15% EtOH (vol/vol) on a fixed-ratio-5 and water on a fixed-ratio-1 schedule of reinforcement. After 10 weeks, rats underwent extinction training for 7 sessions. Animals were then maintained in their home cages for 2 weeks before being tested for Pavlovian Spontaneous Recovery (PSR; a measure of alcohol seeking) for 4 sessions. Rats were then allowed a week in their home cages before being returned to the operant chamber with access to EtOH and water (relapse). Thirty minutes before the PSR and relapse test sessions, rats received 0, 10, or 20 mg/kg SB-334867. Results: Responses on the EtOH lever during the first PSR test session were ∼70 presses/session (3-fold higher than baseline); SB-334867 did not alter responses on the EtOH lever. Under relapse conditions, P rats increased responding on the EtOH lever from 250 (at baseline) to 350 responses/session; both doses of SD-334867 prevented this increase. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that activation of orexin-1 receptors is not involved in intrinsically initiated EtOH seeking, but may regulate the consummatory behavior of EtOH consumption.

Meet Brittany Walker, a fourth year teacher, who happens to teach 4th grade. She's the very first teacher featured in the Teacher Rock Star Series- and for good reason!
I met Brittany during our division's K-12 admin licensure cohort through Old Dominion University. Now, she's pursing her Doctorate in Education, also from ODU. Nothing against the Monarchs but I think Brittany will always be a Kentucky Wildcat at heart. See Exhibit A.
Exhibit A
Besides being a life long learner herself, she's full of fantastic ideas about how to get students truly engaged in learning.
Although Brittany is mostly known for her amazing guided math bundles in her TPT site (see Exhibit B), I wanted to know more about the "Readbox" concept she implements in her 4th grade classroom.
Check out her TPT Site Fourth Grade Fab to see all of her math manipulatives!
Read on to learn more about Mrs. Walker's Readbox.
Brittany was generous enough to give me a bit of her time during the second week of school. YES, I know! That is very generous…
Here's what she told me!
How did you come up with the idea for your classroom Readbox?
I was first inspired to implement Readbox in my classroom when I saw a picture online that inspired the idea. I mostly wanted to use Readbox to coordinate with my technology themed classroom and also feature high interest books for the students to read just as Redbox features high interest movies for its viewers.
How do you manage student Readbox checkouts?
I manage checkouts by assigning each student a "classroom credit card". The cards are laminated. Just as customers check out movies using their credit cards to pay, students check out books with their credit cards. With dry erase markers, I (or they) write the title of the book on the back that they check out. They then turn in their card. When they return their book, I wipe the card clean and they get their credit card back.
What advice do you have for others looking to implement Readbox?
The best advice I have for others is to keep up with the books you are featuring to make it exciting for kids! They love to see what is "coming out" next!
What are some other techniques that you use to get students excited about reading?
First, I always let students choose their books. I also teach them how to choose good fit books on their reading level. Reading high interest material is the only way to make them fall in love with reading. I also use goal setting and data tracking to excite students about reading! This year I have started data folders where they will be able to graph their reading level as it increases. This will give them a visual of their progress.
What's your favorite part about teaching?
My favorite part of being a teacher is watching students set goals and achieve them. I love watching students take pride in and own their learning. My favorite part of teaching is the students I teach.
Thank you, Brittany, for being my first ROCK STAR. I hope you all will visit her TPT Site.
Feel free to ask Brittany any of your Readbox questions in the comments below!

Delta Air Lines announced that beginning September 29th its Comair subsidiary will stop operations as the company plans to make cuts on low-margin regional flying.
Delta said it will reduce the number of 50-seat regional jets from 350 to 125 in the following years which won't significantly affect the company's network, which can manage a few changes.
It said the move "is an unfortunate necessity due to the economic limitations of our aging aircraft, cost structure, the long-term outlook for 50-seat aircraft, and our challenging industry and economy."
As Comair accounts for only 1% of Delta's network, the change won't affect the company's schedule or the customers. The Cincinnati based Comair has 290 fights a day to almost 60 cities in Canada and the US. The company, which currently has 1,700 aviation employees, was founded in 1977 and joined delta in 2000. On Friday, July 27th, Comair received a letter from Delta which said that the company has some of the oldest 50-seat aircraft with the highest unit cost per flight hour. Therefore Delta announced it will remove the 16 Comair 50-seaters, leaving Comair with only 28.
"This further reduction of Comair's active fleet will only create higher unit costs, which equates to a business model that is no longer sustainable in this competitive regional environment," the company said in a statement.

Beautiful... (pic from vogue.fr)
they're gorgeous!
I want the phone case and the card case. Has anyone seen them???
I LOVE the wallet. Does anyone know how much it is?
I saw some of them in real last month in Paris. Some were nice because they were in vintage leather with exactly the same lock as the reissue (that you have to turn). I am thinking for instance of a wallet (medium size) but it was so expensive: 545 euros!!! The good thing though is that as it's vintage leather, it's less fragile than lambskin.
There were some other reissue accessories which I didn't like because the leather wasn't nice (too shiny and didn't look like leather) and the lock was a fake lock because you couldn't turn it, you had to press it. Don't know if my explanation is clear enough, sorry for my poor English
Of course in the picture they all look very nice...
Thank you for your post. I know what you mean about pictures - everything looks amazing and then when you see the item in person, somethimes it's very disappointing .
omg .... what are the prices! Anyone know?
I have seen the black wallet in Hong kong Chanel, it's gorgeous, I had it in my hand for a while, the price HKD6000, around USD770, I just couldn't...
Is the black wallet metallic?
No, the one I saw was exactly like the black leather reissue. distressed calfskin.
IceEarl, according to the price, we probably tried the same.
Molls, the one I was talking about was not shiny (it was black) but it was not the one on the picture. We can clearly see on the picture that the black one is a fake lock (contrarily to the phone/ipod case or the CC holder)
Yeap, probably the same wallet .
Thanks babylovermica and IceEarl. I know there's a picture in this forum of a gold??? (well, it was something shiny ) re-issue wallet and it was just gorgeous. I'm trying to find it but I can't .
i want the wallet on a chain!
ohh the wallet is very pretty.

Zoroastre Trailer (2006)
01 January 2006 Music 227 mins
Music - Making full use of Drottningholm Theatre's unique 18th-century baroque theatre machinery, as well as his deep creative understanding of the profound drama of the work, stage director Pierre Audi creates a production of ZOROASTRE that completely accords with the spirit of Rameau. True to the form of the tragedie lyrique, choreographer Amir Hosseinpour's dances perfectly match the weight and meaning of both plot and music. The ensemble, Les Talens Lyriques, reinforced with musicians from the Drottningholm Court Theatre Orchestra and Chorus, is expertly and passionately led into the musical stratosphere by musical director Christophe Rousset. This intensely dramatic production is captured live in vibrant High Definition video and true surround sound. - Anders J. Dahlin, Evgueniy Alexiev, Sine Bundgaard

Zahrada v Opeře
Hidden behind the security barriers at the top of Wenceslas Square, the "Garden in the Opera" maintains its high standards and reasonable prices
GROUCHO: It's all right. That's, that's in every contract. That's, that's what they call a sanity clause.
CHICO: Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! You can't fool me. There ain't no Sanity Clause!
- A Night at the Opera, (1935)
Ah, a night at the opera. Always good fun. But where to eat before a performance in Prague?
The best choice, as far as I am concerned, is Zahrada v Opeře (Garden in the Opera). I'd been there many times before, and always enjoyed it. After a year-long break, I went there for dinner. If anything, I like it even more. And I most definitely wouldn't limit visits to opera nights.
This restaurant has been going for years. I've always wondered about the secret to its long-term survival, given its location at the top of Wenceslas Square, hidden behind security barriers.
The somewhat obscure location may hurt business, but, ironically, the location must also be a big factor in its ongoing survival. It is right behind the State Opera, so it probably gets a steady stream of pre-performance customers.
Location is important, but there are other factors to consider. There is the modern and artistic design of the restaurant's interior. It's a bit wild. A lot of creative attention (and money) went into it. I like it. There's nothing else quite like it in Prague.
And then, of course, there's the food. I've had some of the same dishes over the course of a few years, and they have been consistently prepared and consistently good.
We started out with the salad bar. But this isn't any ordinary salad bar. It offers five different options of pre-prepared salads. There is couscous, grilled vegetables, cold penne and sun-dried tomato, grilled beef and endive, and marinated salmon salads.
The grilled beef salad was the best, with a wonderful smoky taste. I also really liked the salmon and the grilled vegetables. The other two options were fine, but a little bland. One of the most amazing things about this salad bar is the price.
You can fill a large plate with as much as you want for 150 CZK. It could be a meal in itself and, as far as I am concerned, it is a terrific bargain at that price. A small plate of the same salads can be filled for 80 CZK.
For main courses, V and I both got our favorite dish from the "Bestsellers" section of the menu: Nasi goreng (285 CZK).
It is Indonesian-style fried rice with chicken, calamari, a couple of plump tiger shrimp, garlic paste, and chopped red chilies on the side. The menu doesn't mention it, but the dish also has finely-minced lime leaves and the strong distinct flavor dominates the dish. Which is just fine with me because I absolutely love the flavor of lime leaf. I like mixing in all the red chilies. It still doesn't get too hot for my taste. One small issue -- it could come out warmer -- temperature-wise.
Mom was with us. She also got one of the "Bestsellers," the lamb fillets with garlic-shallot sauce, spinach, and roasted La Ratte potatoes (530 CZK). A whole head of roasted garlic is on the side.
I've had this before and like it very much. The lamb is tender. The spinach is fresh. The sauce is nice. I actually wish the lamb they used had more of a "lamby" flavor.
I haven't tried them myself, but many of the other main dishes seem reasonably priced. There are choices like Brazilian sirloin for 380 CZK, duck breast for 380 CZK, roasted chicken breast for 220 CZK, venison for 440 CZK, scampi for 395 CZK and yellowtail snapper for 380 CZK.
And this is not the full list. You can see the full menu online here.
They have a Pilsner Urquell on draft. A half-liter is 45 CZK. V had a small glass of Bohemia sekt sparkling wine for 60 CZK and a glass of domestic Moravian white wine for 45 CZK. A bottle of Mattoni mineral water was 40 CZK.
Czech wines are all reasonably priced, with many in the 400 CZK range. There is a selection of French, Spanish, Italian, Chilean, Australian, Californian, and South African wines. There's not much depth to the list, but the prices don't get too crazy either -- most are between 500 CZK and 1,000 CZK.
The total bill for the three salads, drinks, and three main courses was 1840 CZK. I thought the dinner was well worth the price.
We were all very full, so none of us tried the desserts. It's a shame, because they are not the usual fare. The dessert menu is as creative as the decor at Zahrada v opeře.
Some of the options sounded very tempting: Camembert with fresh figs, almonds and honey for 125 CZK, Greek yogurt with figs, strawberry, and honey for 95 CZK, and something called San Domingue. The menu says it is a 70-percent chocolate and honey mousse with rum-marinated apricots and cane sugar. It costs 125 CZK.
It was really hard to turn down a chance to try one of these creations. I'm crazy about desserts, and these sound insanely good.
So, it's a good thing there ain't no Sanity Clause.

Your testimony of God's abiding personal love and concern for you is a testimony of God's nature for He is love. God has protected, guided, helped and taken care of you for so many years that the notion of God not being a personal God is absurd.
Abraham knew God personally as evidence by this pleading with God to withhold judgment on Sodom and Gomorrah. Moses knew God personally so much so that he was able to convince God to show him the hind parts of His glory. David knew God personally and that is absolutely evident in the Psalms which are intensely personal in nature many times. Jesus Christ knew God personally (and not for the obvious reasons) as evidenced by His prayers to Him especially in John 17.
God, who created the heavens and the earth still loves each one of us as a personal Father who is vitally concerned about every aspect of our lives. I too am genuinely sorry that others do not know this aspect of God but only the disciple side. Without a personal relationship with God all that is left of Christianity is religion, and God knows we already have enough religions in the world today.
Thank you for sharing your story and pouring out your heart regarding the love of God.
God is always there for us. His desire is a true, personal relationship with us, gooey emotions and all! You are such an encouragement to me K!
we need to pray for the poor soul that wrote what broke your heart k... and pass the tissues...
I am writing this after I have put away my tissue. Thank you sister for your outpouring!
It is sad when Christians persist to see God as an impersonal God who does not deeply desire a relationship with us personally. We forget that the first hint of God's relationship with us in Genesis after He created Adam and Eve (Gen 1:27-27), gave them dominion over all things (Gen 1:28-31) and commanded them regarding the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Gen 2:15-17): God came to the Garden of Eden and Adam heard him walking in the cool of the day (Gen 3:8) and God asked "Where are you?"(Gen 3:9). But because Adam and Eve sinned they hid from God. (Gen 31:8). Except for the one command regarding the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. God's singular intent was to bless man and to have a relationship with him. My heart breaks when I think of what was lost, walking with the Lord in the cool of the day in the Garden. Ever since then God's plan has been to reconcile that relationship!! A personal relationship!! I really do not know how much clearer that can be.
Instead, we focus on a God of Law forgetting that it is to the restoration of that relationship that Our God is dedicated. Laws and ordinances only came about much later because of our fallen nature. Judgment is the result of our fall. Relationship ... a personal relationship is the central message of the Bible. The law, requirements of sacrifice, ordinances, all came about because man sinned.
Enoch was bodily taken to heaven because he "Walked with God" (Gen 5:21-24) and Abraham was counted righteous before God because He believed on Him (Rom 4:2-4). The amazing thing is that the right translation of "righteous" in the context of Abraham is that Abraham was "in right relationship" with God.
What then of the Law? Paul tells us that Christ came to abolish the law and that we are no longer under the law but under grace (Rom 6:14). He goes on to say, "What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid." (Rom 6:15) and that "the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good" (Rom 7:12). He says that God's law is made complete by grace explaining it thus:"For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." (Rom 8:3-5)
I have come to view the Word of God very differently these days. God desires a relationship with us. A personal love relationship. He has given His Word to us telling us how He would want us to live. What pleases Him and What grieves Him. For me, the Word is His love letter to me. It is as though He is saying I love you and if you love me, live according to my precepts, here they are. Ever since I have come to this realization, I have come to realize the liberty of which Paul speaks and the joy which He promises.
When Jesus taught us to pray, His opening words were "Our Father". Admittedly, I struggle with an inaccurate picture of how fathers are supposed to interact with their children, I know that fathers want a relationship with their children.
And our perfect Father in heaven is even more desirous of having a relationship than our imperfect earthly fathers.
sniff. wow.
well. i just read this, than all the comments that follow and all i can do is second what everyone has written.
I take comfort in knowing that our Heavenly Father desires a personal relationship with His children and that He likes too be up close and personal in our lives.
Here I am a grown man with emotions. Thank you for this entry K. Our Heavenly Father definitely desires a relationship with His children.
Names in the Bible are of great significance and God reveals Himself to us as "Father", we are His children; Jesus calls us "friend" and lays down his life in an act of the greatest love for us ... and we we could go on. God's names are His credentials and they reveal not only His character but also the nature of His relationship with us. Sixty-six books affirm that we are to have a personal loving relationship with God - and love is personal. If we say otherwise, it would be to show that we just don't get what love is (which is sad) and it would also be slander of God's character.
How can we call Him Father in prayer and not realize how personal it is to be His child? Anyone who fails to recognise this fundamental truth is deeply wounded and unable to relate to the Fatherly relationship and love from God. Sadly this truth is as you point out, misunderstood by many. I'll be joining blackrose in prayer for all such lost souls...
Thank you for sharing your life my friend. Thank you for standing firm in the love of God. Thank you for the witness you have been in my own life and for sharing the journey with me.
I am puzzled... If one doesn't want a personal relationship with God... nah... I'm not even gonna go there.
This is so beautiful, k . Thank you for sharing the deepest and most intimate details of your walk. God truly makes you one amazing sister. Praise Him!
OK, another grizzled old man sniffling! Thank you for sharing this with us, K Your testimony is amazing. I guess that's emotion. Maybe even a man's passion?
It seems that far too many people confuse a personal relationship with constant steering and badgering. This is nto what God wants from us nor what He wants to do for us. It has been so since the Garden of Eden. If god interferred in everything in our lives, we would not have free will. And we would have no purpose in God's plan.
Instead of that "every moment taking over our lives" we are, as you have so dramatically shown, always under His watchful, merciful, loving eye... and when we need it His touch as well.
Alive in The Word
sniff sniff sniff
Someone pass the tissues over here, please?
Let's all agree, in prayer, that Our Father will reach out to that poor soul who completely misunderstands the depth of God's Love for all His Children.
K, you're an amazing Princess of God.
Well, kreynolds, that is a touching testimony and post. Thank you.
If it was my comment that spurred it, and if I am the lost soul that everyone's praying for, rest assured that I have known the love and mercy of the Lord, and by receiving His gift of salvation have been brought into a right relationship with Him.
The context of this quote was my blog about the feminization of our image of God. Here's what I said;
And I'm going to say something radical here; God does not want a 'personal relationship' with you! It's not in the Bible. Anywhere. He wants us to turn to Him for salvation, He wants us to grow in knowledge of Him and commitment to Him, He wants to renew our hearts and minds, but it's all about, and for, Him. The feminization of the Church, and in my view the weakening of it, started when this phrase became prevalent in evangelicalism.
I cited John 15, Jesus' explanation of love for God, and love for others. We abide in His love when we obey His commands and bear fruit, and we show ourselves to be His disciples. That is His over-riding purpose for us on Earth. If God's desire was solely a love relationship with us, then He would take us to Him as soon as we are saved. But He leaves us here, with a body of fellow believers to love, encourage, minister to, share passions with, rejoice with, admonish and correct, all for HIS glory. That is what we are to do with God's love.
God's love for us, and His work to bring us to Himself, is deep and as His children he is certainly more concerned about our wants and needs than he is about the birds of the air and the grass of the fields. We are His children, and He is our loving, Holy Father.
But please, let's not lose sight of the bigger picture, God's true purpose for saving us and bringing us to Him. It's to bring glory to Himself, so that the whole world will see that He is God.

I believe God was very clear as to what his true purpose was in saving us. It is found in John 3:16.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
That sounds pretty clear to me and that is what millions of Christians around the world believe. This is the very foundation of Christianity. The reason God gave his only begotten Son was because He loves us. Are you saying He did not? Please back up your comment with scripture showing that His true purpose, as you say, is not love.
I have to agree with k... . Matt.10:30 tells us that He knows the number of hairs on our heads... . and while Revelations tells us we were created for His pleasure, Psalms 8:-4-5 tells us that He created us a little lower than Himself and calls us His children... .
How many true parents do you know that don't crave, ache for a tender caring relationship with their children, and have a deep caring, even sometimes jealous love for them?
What a beautiful testimony your blog is and has been followed by many beautful comments and testimonies.
Might I add this: Mathew 6:33 "But seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you"
Actually I believe that He holds each of us in his hand much as he holds the stars and moon and planets in their place in the universe. I have experienced day in and day out His awareness of everything, no matter how small or big, and His desire for us to turn to Him in everything. My wife has been known to lay hands on the car when broken down in traffic and miraculously continue on. He seeks a relationship in every aspect of our lives and a closeness and seeking on our part.
I would say that Mathew 6:33 could be interpreted to say that all He seeks is a personal relationship with Him and that with that all other things will fall into place according to His will.
K, I read your blog and to me it goes beyond being touching and tearjerking.
To be truthful it reminds me of me, and I KNOW that without a personal relationship with Christ I would not be here today.
I have been reading Hosea and I was struck by this passage..
"Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably to her (to her heart). And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came from the land of Egypt. And it shall be at that day, saith the Lord, that you shall call me ISHI (My Husband!)" (Hosea 2:14-16).
Now is this not God telling us that we are no longer under condemnation (Achor) but rather he is calling tenderly and gently to us.. saying that we shall call him our Husband.. wow, in my eyes we dont get much more personal than that! .. and yes I know this passage goes much deeper, but to be told to call him our husband.. to be gently called, let me say K that I have no problem in saying that I love him,and I KNOW that he loves me... why? because he said so.

Samsung continues to face struggles to ensure safe working conditions for its suppliers, with a new sustainability report for 2014 revealing ongoing labor issues in China including overworked staff and missing protective equipment, though no signs of child workers. The report, which also covers Samsung's efforts to develop more efficient and economical products, took results from third-party audits of 100 Chinese suppliers, and the results aren't entirely good.
For instance, 59-percent of the suppliers investigated had not supplied workers with the appropriate protective gear, such as safety shoes and gloves, earplugs, goggles, or masks, or did not ensure that such equipment was consistently used. Some facilities lacked smoke detectors and emergency exit routes in the case of a fire, while forty suppliers did not train some or all of their employees as to what to do in an emergency.
Samsung says that the audits found no evidence of child labor, allegations that caused ructions back in late 2012. However, sixteen suppliers showed evidence of excessive overtime, while 48 suppliers had minors working with chemicals that indicate "some safety precautions were inadequate."
The company says that immediate improvements were demanded when it discovered the shortcomings, and that the suppliers all fell into line.
Other issues include "administrative errors" at 33 locations, such as around contracts, as well as missing or delayed social insurance, failure to deliver consistent disciplinary actions, and problems with discrimination against certain potential employees by factors including age, gender, and pregnancy status.
Samsung insists it is now working to address all of the problems identified, with "fundamental improvements" promised to ensure compliance among those suppliers it relies upon. A new inspection checklist will be put into play across the board this year, as well as broaden its efforts to push compliance outside of China to other facilities in Southeast Asia and abroad.
"In some instances," Samsung says, "the [supplier compliance management code of conduct] guidelines are more stringent than suppliers' local or federal laws."
Ethical production has been under greater attention in recent years, as the origins of consumer electronics becomes a bigger consideration for buyers. Samsung, along with Apple, are two firms which perhaps find themselves under the microscope most frequently, given their scale in the industry, with reports like today's highlighting the ongoing tension between keeping product prices low while still ensuring that safe environmental and production staff conditions are met.

Welcome to 223B Baker Street
Sherlock Holmes Great War Parodies and Pastiches II: 1915-1919 collects 37 pieces published during the middle phase of Conan Doyle's life. Some were written by soldiers in the trenches, schoolboys, reporters, and other amateurs, but many professional writers turned out stories, such as Ring Lardner, John Kendrick Bangs, Carolyn Wells, and a 15-year-old George Orwell! We've also included the stories' original art and more than 300 footnotes identifying obscure words, historical figures, and events that readers were familiar with then but are forgotten today.
Peschel Press' 223B Casebook Series — named because they're "next door" to the original stories — is dedicated to publishing the fanfiction created by amateur and professional writers during Conan Doyle's lifetime.
