Publisher's Summary
Entering this world of death, you brought all you have (or can have) with you. You are like a garden, already planted and sowed, for this world is too poor to produce one seed. Although William Blake was called a madman, he knew this great truth, and said: "The human imagination is the eternal body of the Lord Jesus." I tell you: The Lord Jesus is your own wonderful human imagination, who became as you are that you may become as he is.
Everything is housed in you, because Jesus is buried there, and it is from there that he will rise. You might think Paul was speaking of one external to himself, when he said: "I have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus", but Paul was not. The preposition "in" designates Christ as the sphere within which faith lives, rather than an object of faith. So, if everything is within you, you may question why you are in this world of sadness, death, and sorrow; but I will tell you: You are here for a purpose.
In this world a king can bestow a high honor to anyone, but he cannot fit that one for the high office. Now, God not only bestows his honor, but he prepares the individual to receive it. You are here because you are being prepared. We are all part of the corporate destiny of a fabulous play, whose outcome is an entirely different world. In fact, this high honor cannot be conceived of until experienced.

New Delhi: The capital today sizzled as
mercury climbed to the season`s highest of 45.4 degree
This was also the highest temperature in May in the past
eight years.
Today`s maximum was 1.5 degrees up from yesterday`s high
and four degrees above normal for this point of time during
the year. The minimum touched 28.2 degree Celsius as against
yesterday`s 25.6 degrees.
The humidity oscillating between 15 and 59 per cent added
to the woes.
The Weatherman has predicted no relief for the capital
with the temperature likely to oscillate between 28 and 44
degree Celsius. There could also be the possibility of dust
and thunder storm with squall during the day tomorrow.
The city had recorded a high of 44.4 degrees last week.
The last time the temperature surpassed the 44-degree mark in
the month of May was in 2006 when the seventh day of the month
recorded 44.5 degrees.
The previous highest in the decade was recorded on May
19, 2002 when it touched 46 degree Celsius.
The maximum temperature in the month of May was 43
degrees in 2009 (May 19), 43 degrees in 2008 (May 5) and 42.7

Getting on with it….
Charlie Sheen pleaded guilty Monday to a misdemeanor assault charge in his domestic violence case and was ordered to 30 days in rehab as part of a plea deal at a court hearing in Aspen, Colo. In exchange, two other charges were dropped.
The actor was also sentenced to three months probation and must complete 36 hours of domestic violence counseling.
Sheen appeared upbeat in the courtroom. Asked to enter a plea, he told the judge, "Guilty as charged your honor." Asked why he was submitting that plea, Sheen replied, "Because I'm guilty."
The actor added in a statement following the sentencing: "I'm very grateful to the court and to the people of Pitkin County. I look forward to complying with the court's decision, getting on with my life and putting this behind me."
Sheen's lawyer, Yale Galanter, is pleased with the case's outcome, saying, "Charlie got a great sentence, and I am privileged to have been able to do this for him."
The Two and a Half Men star, 44, will be back at work on the set of his hit sitcom Tuesday working on the first episode of the new season. So probably he got a raise, and decided to say yes to more work after all…..?!
Earlier this year he said that being on set reminded him of being a lost cause… (or did he remember?)

Here's Ranger Chuck Teague on the last two weeks of Abraham Lincoln's life. He's done a great job of research, but the cheesy attempts at accents really have to stop. I like the fact that he kept within the time limit, though he needs to work on pronunciation ["Keckley," not "Kleckeley," and the "g" in "sockdologizing" is the soft sound like a "j" instead of the hard sound]. There's some really good information in here, though I think he's a bit too hard on Mary Lincoln.
The Final Fourteen Days of Abraham Lincoln: Gettysburg Winter Lecture
One comment
Agree with your "cheesy" accent remarks. At times, Teague's Lincoln sounds like a Virginian. LOL In spite of the kerfuffles, his presentation seems to have been well received and hey, it was interesting. I do wish he had not read it all. I'm sure you know of this site but others may not. Go here to find what Lincoln did on any given day. It's a good resource. http://www.thelincolnlog.org/

The strategy of "pragmatic complexity," as discussed in A 21st Century Model for Communication in the Global War of Ideas, underscores experimentation and complexity as essential factors for strategic communication. This contrast between the message influence model and a pragmatic complexity model parallels James Carey's concept of a transmission versus a ritual view of communication.
In, Communication as Culture, Carey describes a ritual view of communication as, "directed not toward the extension of messages in space but toward the maintenance of society in time; not the act of imparting information but the representation of shared beliefs." (18) In the ritual view, communication is a structure, a networked set of beliefs that creates and maintains a reality for a group of individuals. This view reflects the complexity of the "system as a whole" and the context of persons A and B while also acknowledging the meaning making and preservation function of communication.
Corman writes that, "In the language of communication science, communication is the medium through which individuals and groups construct their social realities. Once a system – a social reality – is created, it has a tendency to sustain itself even in the face of contradictory information and persuasive campaigns. Members of the system routinely and often unconsciously, work to preserve the existing framework of meaning. To accomplish this they interpret messages in ways that "fit" the existing scheme, rather than in ways that senders may intend." (8)
In this way, Corman emphasizes the critical need to work with existing narratives to transformatively create new frames and beliefs, understanding ritual and redefining your narrative and message within it.

Day 11: 242 Days left
Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still;
teach the righteous and they will add to their learning. Proverbs 9:9
If you have been following the posts you will remember a few days ago when I posted the blog titled, "Dazed and Confused". In this post I revealed some real concerns and struggles that my family and I go through on a regular basis. Depression, confusion, and anxiety are the norm in my life, and fear is the accent that finishes the picture. The reality is that Rebecca and I were ready to
throw in the towel, walk away from living in the park and minister from afar. We had questions that were unanswered, and felt so alone that we figured no one would miss us and we could start all over. It is just too hard.
This evening Rebecca and I went to dinner with a slightly older couple who have been where we are in life and are currently working with us in ministry. By the way, I have never had French Onion soup until tonight and Longhorn Steak House makes a killer bowl of it. We were able to let out our concerns and fears to our friends, and they were able to encourage us and tell us their stories of similar pain. They explained that they made it through this lonely season of life and are better for it. In a much more elegant and encouraging way they urged us to persevere.
As I sat there listening to their stories my mind began to move in a direction that I am upset it even began to go. I started to hear their very similar stories and somehow make my situation much worse, as if I was worse off than they were and they couldn't possibly understand. When this started to happen the verse that I posted above rang through my ears. God was telling me to shut up and listen to their wisdom. He reminded me that the words they are speaking to me were words that He put in their heart. They were not trying to give me the keys to successfully navigating through the fog, but just remind me who lights the path, and assure me that it will lift and the Son will shine.
There is two paths in life; the path of the fool, and the path of the wise one. Wisdom leads to life, but foolishness leads to destruction. Though sometimes gaining wisdom hurts, the one who is in a relationship with God has the wisdom to know that the pain is implanting more wisdom, therefore he/she is grateful for the pain. I thank God for Lane and Heather and the wisdom they were able to give us.
The wise one is teachable, so be wise and learn the lesson God is trying to teach.

The Chicago Bears have hired Mike Martz as offensive coordinator, to jump start a struggling attack and have Jay Cutler realize his true potential. Only they forgot he didn't work out with Detroit or San Francisco and while being the Head Coach in St. Louis Martz couldn't win the big one with a very talented team. This hire will do nothing but waste the talent of Matt Forte, who will see his carries reduced even more. He does have some of the skill set of Marshall Faulk, but Chicago's offense does not have the wide receiving talent that the Rams did so the it may limit an already tough offense to master.
I saw the Lions run this offense for two years, and although it kept us competitive in a lot of games, it helped us lose many more. We had zero running game and Kitna was repeatedly sacked and pressured into make terrible throws. The turnovers were too much for most teams to overcome and the Lions lost often. The Bears have more talent overall, but with an aging defense and offensive line, can they afford to expose their weaknesses so much? The answer is no. With rumors of Rod Marinelli being the Bear's new defensive coordinator it is obvious Chicago wasn't paying attention when the Lions lost all those games.
The NFC North has a nasty habit recycling players and coaches. This is just a prime example of it. Bernard Berrien played with the Bears, then the Vikings. Culpepper with the Vikings then the Lions. Favre with Green Bay then Minnesota. Kevin Jones was released by the Lions, then picked up by Chicago. There are more examples that will prove my point further. In the division that refuses to change, I suppose borrowing players from one another is a good way to keep your systems intact.

Pope-Cheney Art Studio
Located on the 1st Floor of the Wishcamper Center
34 Bedford St., USM Portland Campus
Hours: 8 a.m.-10 p.m., Monday-Thursday, and 8 a.m.-6 p.m., Friday.
Exhibition Schedule
Exhibition: Mark Ford
Opening Reception, Thursday, June 29th, 5:30 - 7:30 p.m., Wishcamper
June, July, August 2017
Mark Ford is a mixed media artist and teacher living in Portland, Maine. He began making artist's books in 2005, bringing to the medium a background in both photography and graphic design. His materials come largely from the beach, the street or the recycle bin (with a particular interest in repurposed packaging and discarded photo albums), and his process is improvisational and rather wet (e.g., washed up from the sea, left out in the rain, dissolved and disassembled). His work embodies a struggle born of an intimate engagement with materials, chosen for their symbolic resonance, and a psychic attempt to manifest that struggle in symbolic form. In 2015, he attended an artist residency at the Vermont Studio Center. He currently teaches humanities and photography at an expeditionary learning school in Portland.

Exhibition: Emily Ross '16
September, October, November 2017
Since 2005, at the age of 9, Emily Ross has been making books, albeit not with the most orthodox of techniques. Her first book showcased wrapping-papered cardboard covers for 30 sheets of printer paper bound with uneven stitches, while using a thimble on each finger.
It wasn't until 2015 that Emily discovered the Book Arts community and found a welcoming home within the art world. Shifting to creating almost exclusively artist books, Emily combines her skills in painting, sculpting, sewing, and ceramics, along with a didactic love of history and trivia. By regularly pushing the definition of what a book can be, Emily explores the conditioned human understanding of books and their relationship to art.
Emily continually draws upon other passions for inspiration, including a strong background in holistic health, dance, and art history. When not making books, Emily is a ballroom dance instructor and studies to become an apiarist.

Exhibition: Brenda J. McGovern
December 2017, January, February 2018
Artist Statement:
My approach to my artwork is to spend time playing and experimenting with different materials. This has proven time and time again an invaluable process that leads to unexpected discoveries. This process evokes within me suggested images, memories, and emotions, leading to a process that is then explored further and developed.
My surroundings invite close observation of textures, patterns, shapes, shadows, surfaces, sounds, scents, the marks of times, rhythms, repetition, the opening and closing sequences of seasons, decay and renewal and small details. They all affect my creativity either consciously or subconsciously. I love marks that are gestural, sensitive, and expressive, layers that partly conceal or reveal, and the fine quality of a line or a torn edge. Although I sometimes love the look of perfection, I also love the beauty of something imperfect, unfinished, aged, or damaged. It holds more expression and interest for me.
It is always my intention to express sensitivity and beauty through my creative process.
Brenda McGovern retired from USM's Philosophy Department in June 2015 and continues her studies towards a Bachelor of Art in Studio Art.

Exhibition: USM Kate Cheney Chappell '83 Center for Book Arts Critique Group
March, April, May 2018
The Critique Group at the USM Kate Cheney Chappell '83 Center for Book Arts consists of artists who are bound together by their passion for making artists' books. All members have taken classes in the Book Arts program at USM or attended workshops at the USM KCC'83CBA. Working in a variety of media, book structures, and a broad range of subject matter, we meet once a month in the Pope-Cheney Art Studio at USM's Wishcamper Center for constructive feedback, insightful questions, and informative discussions about our books – both completed books and those in progress. Our work is on display at the Pope/Cheney studio in the Wishcamper Center during March, April and May.
In addition, we support, promote, and raise awareness for the KCC'83CBA in the Portland community and beyond by attending lectures, workshops, and exhibitions. For the past four years we have created an annual collaborative artists' book that is raffled at the Book Arts Bazaar to raise funds for educational programming. We have also donated two of these books to the Special Collections at Glickman Library.

Exhibition: Sarah S. Harvey '01
June, July, August 2018
In 1996, after working in the medical field for over 20 years, Sarah went back to school at the University of Southern Maine and graduated in 2001 with a BFA in Painting. Since then she has been pursuing art as a second career on an every day basis. Sarah makes Artist Books, having been inspired by several classes with Rebecca Goodale at USM, and paints in oil, watercolor and most recently casein tempera. She shows her work at the Centre Street Arts Gallery in Bath, Maine. Book making, using images and text, gives her an opportunity to create an autobiographical account of her observations and experiences. She considers her work of books and paintings as personal statements about the beauty and uniqueness of Maine's lands, state forests, wilderness areas, and shorelines. She lives in Woolwich, Maine.

Jan, our daughter Sarah and I were at dinner with Lisa Boman Perot, a friend and former Metro member, who lives in College Station, Texas. While we were dining a fire actually started on the tablecloth of the table next to ours. Lisa saw it first and went into a sort of "mini panic" mode. She alerted us and started trying to locate and alert some of the restaurant help. I didn't see the fire, but I decided to get up and deal with it. I went to the table and I saw a circular flame in the tablecloth that had started from a single point candle flame! I simply wrapped up the tablecloth and snuffed out the fire!
I went back and sat down after that. We were all responding in our natural fashion to what had happened, but I felt I was hearing the voice of the Lord about it. First, I was kind of regretting putting out the flame! Then, I immediately had a vintage song in my spirit.
"Light the fire in my soul, fan the flames make me whole, Lord you now where I've been, so light the fire in my heart once again."
Aside from the smoke after I put out the fire, it was very pleasing to my spirit. I was amazed how the fire burned under control, spreading uniformly in all directions creating a circle of fire from a single point of origin!
I really think the Lord wants to start a fire that is not put out at Metro! It will emanate from the centrality of relationship with him and grow. It will be a fire of purity, passion, delight, and purpose.
So, anyway, I just want to be before the Lord, fanning the flames, asking him to send to us passion for living a pure and holy life before him, releasing healing power for His glory, and sending us prophetic knowledge concerning our place with Him. I think also that because the fire started around a friendship/family gathering that this will be done in the context of a body that is increasing in love and relationship. In short, I am now encouraged to be a fire starter, and instead of putting it out when it comes, fanning the flames!
-Mike Schmid

Hoard of the Dragon Queen
Eli Darkbane
The Fiend Blade
A large man with a commanding chin. His back is always straight, his military training is driven into his bones. Short with his words, and to the point, he relies on his pure physical presence to carry the weight of his words. Polite without being formal, he's a person well aquainted to a strict hierarchy.
A strange man, no doubt, with a mysterious heritage. Slightly pointed ears that might just hint of elven heritage. No one has ever heard of his family, in fact, no one has ever heard much of his personal life. Seldom talking about himself, he's a quiet one.
Always looking out of the corner of his eyes, like there's something only he can see. Often with a tilt to his head, like he's listening for something. Sometimes a grim smile plays on his lips, like that of a man resigned to his fate.
As a young boy, he was the son of a tavern wench. His mother had shared the bed of an elven adventurer, and as most of these stories go, a child was born. Unwanted by his mother, he was sent to his grandparents to work on their farm. With the repetitive and boring work on the farm, he couldn't help but feel he had a higher destiny. An adventurer's life, that's the good life. So he saved up whatever money he could beg, borrow and steal, took upon him the name Darkbane (after his father) and travelled to Baldur's Gate.
Now the legend of Eli Darkbane would be written! Or so he thought. Real life could unfortunately not live up to his daydreams. People weren't keen to sign up an unexperienced country bumpkin. So he needed experience and training. WIthout money, he wasn't in any position to pick and choose trainers. Swordmasters and private fencing tutors was something that wasn't even going to happen in his dreams! With no other option clear to him, he could only decide on one course: Enlist! So he enlisted with the Flaming Fist in Baldur's Gate, completed his basic training there and then started his service. Now things would be turning around for this young man!
Except they didn't. Service in the Flaming Fist was much like working on the farm; repetitive task after repetitive task.Things weren't better that he always got the short-end of the stick. Constant graveyard shifts, dock duty, babysitting trainees. Things had changed for him, just not for the better. Still he could feel his destiny calling, if only he had the power to cast of the chains holding him in place!! "And what if you had?" Was it a whisper? A subconscious thought borne of his dreams? A manifestation of his deepest dreams? He knew not. But his dreams would be filled by people praising his glory. Songs were sung. Women would throw themselves at him. "This could become your reality!"
How? How could this become his reality? Was it even possible? "For me, impossible is nothing. I could grant you the power you so shamelessly crave. The price… Insignificant." He could feel a sense of mirth behind that last word. This was by far the strangest dream yet. By the end of it, a mysterious man had offered him a contract which he signed. A dark-haired figure standing just over seven feet tall. He could pass for human if it weren't for the small horns protruding from his brow and his glowing red eyes. Dressed in regal finery, he carried a long rod capped with a macelike head. Awakening from his vivid dream, he couldn't shake of how real it had all seemed. Nor could he ignore the smell of iron and brimstone that permeated through the room.
As the days went by, he couldn't help but notice the changes. He slowly became stronger, faster and tougher than the rest. His skill with arms overtook, and surpassed, the others, He took a special liking to the halberd in this period. The ability to strike from distance, with either a careful stab or an overpowering swing, suited his tastes. When he spoke, people around would stop what they were doing to listen to his words. It was as his words themselves were infused with power. Dreams of him spellcasting would come. "You've had a taste of what I have to offer. Would you also like the ability to cast spells? The cost would only be a small increase to the already insignificant fee that I have asked for. A token fee." A parchment would float in front of his eyes, along with a quill and ink bottle. Power was all he could read, power was all he could comprehend, power was his obsession. Dreams are not real, what possible harm could this do? So he signed unquestioning. If only he knew what powers he were dealing with…
Sure enough, the day after, he found he had some spells at his command. Now was his time. He was gonna be a captain within a month. Two years went by, nothing happened. He was passed up on promotion after promotion. Watching people with connections getting favoured over him, time after time. All he accomplished was being made a drill-sergeant for fresh recruits. Hell, most recruits were older than him! And you didn't have to be He of the Unsleeping Eyes to know that most of them couldn't keep watch over a cow in a barn!
Heart sinking, reality setting in, he couldn't help but wonder about the whispers. The strange dreams. He could recall the image of each contract, like they were burned in his memory. But he could not read one word. Some quick, and discreet, research in the deepest parts of the library, revealed a bitter truth. The language on those contracts was undoubtedly Infernal. A feeling of dread filled him, panic gripped tightly around his heart. Months he spent in the library to master the language, to understand the contracts. The reading proved to be… unpleasant. Unwittingly, he'd made a pact with Dispater, Archduke & Lord of Dis, Lord of the Second, Father of Strife. A pact with UNSPECIFIED terms no less. At the moment of realisation, a great laugh boomed through his head. "A pleasure to make your aquaintance, Eli DARKBANE!" Thoughts racing through his head, questions blossomnig. He tried to convey everything in one go, but nothing would come out. "All in good time, young master DARKBANE! Relax, and just enjoy yourself. For now… Muahahahahahahahahhaha!!!"
What followed was a week's worth of denial. A glorious week filled with the pleasures of brothels, alcohol and whatever escapes from reality he could make. Fearing he had become a liability for his fellow guards, he left the Flaming Fists. By The Vigilant One, he would not betray the Watch! But then, the dreams started. Every five nights, he had a strange sequence of apycalyptic dreams.. The world is destroyed by cold, choking fumes, lightniing storms, waves of acid, and horrible fires. Each time, the dream ended with ten evil eyes glaring at him from the darkness. He felt a strange compulsion to travel to Greenest. Perhaps the riddle of his dreams awaits him there.
So he quit his position in the Flaming Fists, took on hire as a caravan guard for a small merchants caravan travelling through Greenest. Fate would have him captured by raiders. In his capture though, he met some formidable allies. They would proceed to escape capture, and start on a journey together. But that's a tale told elsewhere…

Classic Panerai. At least in terms of case shape. It's really a love or hate design, but I like it. I have a similar watch in my collection. Fantastic build quality, great movements from Panerai. Haven't worn this model, but I am sure I can recommend it. It just cannot be "bad".

Ramadan: Spruce up your diet with tropical fruits
TFNet's Project Officer, Arifurrahman Rusman, offers insights into the necessity of creating healthier Ramadan diets through the inclusion of a variety of tropical fruits.
It's been almost 2 weeks since Ramadan began. While dates and watermelons are highly favored for that quick burst of energy and quenching of thirst, why don't we add more fruits to the Ramadan palate? Furthermore, the consumption of fruits is often mentioned and encouraged in the Holy Quran and the Sunnah (prophetic traditions) and this should be incorporated into modern food habits[1].
The holy month of Ramadan currently being observed by Muslims around the world is a time for spiritual reflection—a time when millions of devoted Muslims fast from dawn to sunset consuming neither food nor water. Islam instills a sense of responsibility for cultivating a healthy lifestyle as fasting in the month of Ramadan teaches Muslims to practice spirituality and not to eat excessively.
"O children of Adam, eat and drink but be not excessive, for God likes not those who are excessive" – The Holy Quran, Al-A'raf 7:31.
In Ramadan, mealtimes change as Muslims have pre-dawn meals (suhoor) and break their fast after sunset (iftar). While abstaining from food during the day, food and fluids are consumed at varied amounts after sunset till early dawn. Not only are mealtimes significantly different per se, the amount and types of food eaten too are different from what is normally consumed during the other months of the year.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends eating at least 400 g or 5 portions of fruits and vegetables per day to reduce the risk of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) while ensuring an adequate intake of daily dietary fiber[2]. Can these recommendations be met during Ramadan?
Keeping the train moving with fiber
Increased consumption of specially prepared foods rich in fats and protein or sweet dishes often happen, consequently resulting in weight gain during Ramadan[3]. This has been reported in 2011 among Saudi families in Jeddah, Western Saudi Arabia which indicated changes in dietary habits during Ramadan[4]. When combined with a lack of physical activity, this is purportedly the main reason for weight gain among some of those who observe Ramadan fasting[3].
Foods rich in fiber are slowly digested and these include vegetables and of course, fruits! These foods slowly release energy and by including them in suhoor meals, it would certainly provide enough energy for the long hours of fasting while keeping you satiated longer. A fiber-rich meal during iftar fills you up faster so you are less likely to overeat. Moreover, a diet rich in fiber regulates bowel movements and helps maintain bowel health. There is also substantial evidence indicating that a high intake of dietary fiber lowers the risk of diseases including cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and cancer[5].
Physiological changes throughout Ramadan
During fasting, a detoxification effect seems to take place as the body dissolves and removes any toxins stored in the body's fat. After a few days of fasting, certain hormones such as endorphins appear to be elevated in the blood which results in a better level of alertness and an overall better mental well-being[1]. Fluids can be lost through skin—when we breathe and sweat[6,7] causing mild dehydration which leads to headaches, tiredness, and difficulty concentrating to some[6]. As the body cannot store water, the kidneys play a crucial role in regulating fluid balance; conserving as much water as possible by limiting the amount of urine. A diet containing excessive amounts of salt or toxic substances forces the kidneys to produce a more concentrated urine—which would put the kidneys under considerable duress and ultimately cause deterioration of its tissues[8].
Wise up! Choose fruits over junk
As water consumption is primarily non-existent during most of the day time hours of Ramadan, it is therefore vital to remain hydrated. Most tropical fruits contain a high amount of water. Recommended tropical fruits include watermelons, papayas, pineapples, mangoes, guavas, soursops, and bananas. When best eaten raw, these fruits are just as great when made into smoothies or juices which would surely satisfy and offer an invigorating effect during suhoor and iftar.
What say you?
Evidently, fruits provide a myriad of benefits. Not only do they provide essential nutritional requirements, they are also tasty and most of them are easy on the stomach. Ramadan is a perfect opportunity for lifestyle changes, specifically to develop healthy living choices. Why don't we take this opportunity during Ramadan to not only enhance our spirituality but also embark on a renewed exuberance for a healthier lifestyle?

As alluring as the legendary Egyptian queen it's named after, this scent's warm-yet-fresh aroma will captivate everyone around you. Notes of bitter grapefruit, peach nectar, rich vanilla musk, and golden amber create a luxuriously exotic fragrance that instantly delights the senses. One spritz and you'll surely feel as bold and powerful as Cleopatra herself.
This is the most amazing scent- its my "signature" summer scent. It's light yet it makes a statement- and lasts. There are slight grapefruit hints at the top note immediately, slightly greenish. In the middle somewhere is a floral bit- almost like jasmine or white flowers. However the base of patchouli and musk balances it out perfectly!!! At the end, there is a bit of amber too. It's airy yet grounded- just like me.
I have been using this perfume for about 3 years now. It is a nice semi-fruity smell (hints of grapefruit) but also sophisticated. It is very unique compared with other scents I have tried which is what made it desirable to me personally. I have received many complements while wearing this.5

The concept of blood atonement is introduced almost immediately after the Fall. Adam and Eve attempted to cover their nakedness with fig leaves and God himself kills the first animals and uses their skins to cover Adam and Eve. So even here there is a model that it is only by the shedding of innocent blood that our iniquity can be washed away.
If you look at the Binding of Isaac (Genesis 22:1-19) as a model of Christ's sacrifice, there's a point where Isaac notes that while they've got all the materials for making a sacrifice, there's no actual sacrifice. Abraham replies "God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son." (Gen 22:8) This statement was prophetic in it's implication. Especially considering that the very location that Abraham attempted to sacrifice Isaac was the very location that Jesus was crucified. (The highest part of Mt. Moriah)
The problem with a the narrative of a "loving God" is that while, yes, he's a loving God he is also a righteous God. So how does God deal with his creations, who are cursed with a sinful nature, without compromising his righteousness? It's not enough to simply keep the Law. If anything, the Law shows us how we are utterly incapable of achieving God's righteousness on our own, not just in our actions but also in our hearts. Therefore salvation from an external source is required. The problem then becomes what are we being saved from? The answer is God's judgment of sin. You cannot have salvation without there also being judgment. God saved Noah and his family from the Flood but he judged the rest of the world. God saved the Hebrews from slavery and judged the Egyptian. And God will eventually judge the wicked that have rejected not only Him but the salvation that Jesus's death provides.
From a dispensational point of view, we are now living in a "day of grace" where God provides the entire world the opportunity to repent of their sins and accept Jesus Christ not only as their savior but as their Lord and King and to live a life in obedience to Him. But a day will come, just as it did in Noah's day, when Noah and his family entered the ark and God himself closed the door, that the "day of grace" will end and at that time God will judge all the Earth and those rejected him will fall under that judgment.
I know that kind of message makes many uncomfortable but part of the message of the Gospel as always been the repentance of sins and obedience to God.

Lately I've been hearing from a lot of women that life is a bit serious. It's tax preparation time, it's been a long winter in some parts of the country, and life has felt hard. It's time for a play date!
How long has it been since you had some intimate or sexual play? Do you know how to play? If your body is a mystery to you after cancer treatments, it might help to have some ideas of how to play now. The following ideas are things you can experiment with on your own or with your partner if you have one. More than anything, let yourself relax and have some fun and don't take this or yourself too seriously. Here we go ~
- Assemble some ingredients for dessert ~ cut up some fruit, melt some chocolate, whip some cream, maybe a bit of ice cream. Serve it on a pretty plate and eat with your fingers. Or feed each other one morsel at a time if you're doing this with your sweetie.
- Take the dessert idea a step further by using your body as the "plate". Spread a sheet on the floor and some pillows, lie on the sheet naked and let your partner arrange the dessert on you. Then relax and let them eat the tasty morsels to their heart's content. They can shower you with kisses in between bites, or whisper things they love about you in your ears. Or you can ask them to be the plate and you arrange and enjoy dessert on them!
- Take a bubble bath and cover part of you with soap. Then write words in the soap with your eyes closed and feel the pleasure of your fingers sliding through the soap and writing fun words. If you're doing this with a partner, soap their back and write words, and then take turns so that they can soap your back and write some words. Try "I love you" and see how that feels.
- Have some aural sex by talking sexy to each other. Sit close and take turns telling each other all the things you'd either like to do to or with your partner, or the things you'd like them to do to or with you. To be clear, this is a communication game. If you decide that you want to do any of the things you talk about, agree on what, when and how you will do that. Sometimes when you know it is talking only, you get more creative. Be as descriptive as you can and get creative.
- Write an erotic story together. Begin with, "Once upon a time…" and create a fun and playful story.
You get the idea. Make some time to play, be silly and be close. Make it a priority to play and have some fun, and see what happens. Feel free to share your ideas and experiences with us so that we can all play more!

I love the Lord's faithfulness. I asked him years ago to keep me humble, and He has yet to let me down. Case in point, my photography blog. (If you haven't seen it, you can check it out here.) I experiement a lot, with equipment, odd lighting, new or bizarre subjects, etc. I'm always pushing myself to do something I haven't done before. Once I'm satisfied with the results I publish a few of my favorite shots on my photoblog. It's my version of a victory lap. So, imagine my chagrin when I was notified that someone found my blog by Googling "bad nature photography". Guess I have more work to do…

USA Basketball Release
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Seven current and former members of the Connecticut women's basketball team will participate in the USA Women's National Team's April 24-26 camp in Seattle.
On the 19-player roster from UConn are Sue Bird, Napheesa Collier, Stefanie Dolson, Tiffany Hayes, Breanna Stewart, Diana Taurasi and Morgan Tuck. Former Husky Jennifer Rizzotti serves as an assistant coach for Team USA.

Tech review with Peter Marks - the launch of Chromebooks
Unlike a decade ago where a computer store would only have personal computers on display, today the shelves contain an array of pads, slaps, tablets and now - the Chromebook.
This week chip maker Intel and its partners have announced at least 20 sleek new low cost laptops and we can expect to see a cacophony of Chromebooks by Christmas.

4 Comments on Blurred Lines
It might just be that I've been talk to closely analyze passages for their subtle meanings, but listening to that song, and in particular, READING THE LYRICS, it's hard to make a case that this song is in any way about rape. Instead, it reads far more like an anthem celebrating a woman's right to engage in her sexuality if she wants to or, at worst, a sense of cockiness on the part of the male narrator. However, lines like "come on get at me" put the impetus on the woman to make the first move, so how can one say that what Thick, Williams, and T.I. is in any way a predatory male sexuality?
There's not nearly enough space here to fully discuss why I don't think this sing is the symbol of rape culture it's been made out to be, but this blog does a good job of covering it: http://polemiqueoccasionelle.wordpress.com/2013/09/19/blurring-the-lines-of-feminism-a-criticism-of-the-criticism-of-blurred-lines/
Worse yet, even if you DID think this song was advertising rape culture, there are a hundred ways to address the issue without a protest that, in sum, likely led to more people attending the concert (I hadn't heard of it until the protest started). The entire thing keeping Thicke's career afloat is the controversy of this song, so if you want him to stop spreading that message stop advertising for him on Channel 7. IF you wanted to make a legitimate effort at dialogue, silencing Thick isn't the way to do it. If you had reached out to his agent, perhaps set up a talk-back after the show or made information available in the lobby, that might have helped spark a conversation. Instead all that happened was 50 or so people protested the concert, it still happened, and ultimately this type of behavior makes people question the legitimacy of the case for rape culture (which I DO firmly think is an issue). I think your intent was good, but you ended up trivializing the issue. Had you set up an even to send letter to Congresspeople about reform of rape law, better access to help, or even reform of military sexual assault procedure (which would be amazing), I'd have been there in a heartbeat. To protest a pop singer about a song that is (arguably) about rape culture, that's not the kind of action that leads to results. It leads to airtime, sure, but nothing came of it really.
Read the polemique ocassionelle article. It makes this case much better than I can.
Sadly, too many people misunderstood the point of the protest. The protest was against rape culture and the degradation of women in American culture. Yes, Robin Thicke's song perpetuates this, but he is not the only problem, he is not the worst offender. But I was shocked that BU, a progressive, feminist institution would invite Mr. Thicke to our school. They protested because he is relevant and he has admitted that his song degrades women. It is really sad when people try to justify the acceptance of rape culture. Every voice against this helps to wake people up and realize, "wait, it wasn't like this before, rape wasn't okay to joke about, women weren't objects." Thank you to the Humanists and everyone that stood up for women this Tuesday!
Again this is just your opinion on how his song is interpreted. There are some people who view his song as a woman's freedom from male grasp, saying he is there to serve the women at their request (if you read into the lyrics). Beyond that, there was no peep or protest when BU actually PAID for Childish Gambino to come perform last year who has songs with lyrics directly related to rape. However, I do not see a problem with these people even if so as they are performers and it goes with their style of music and rhythm. Do we accredit Eminem with all the women beatings, drug use, and misconduct in today's society. NO, it falls on the parents and educators of the kids.
For the record (again), the BU administration DOES NOT CHOOSE the performers at Agganis Arena. Choose another demon.

Back in October 2013 Hollywood Life reported that Vogue editor-in-chief wanted to "violate a lot of Vogue traditions" by featuring Lena Dunham "even though she doesn't really conform to the [magazine's] body type" to appeal to their "next-generation audience." Then, for the February 2014, Wintour did as she promised…and more. She put Dunham on Vogue's cover:
Credit: Vogue
Grab the attention of the next generation? Vogue did: S**t hit the fan.
Jezebel — assuming the dolled-up images of a usually clean-faced Dunham had been seriously retouched — paid $10,000 to get the (supposedly) original versions. In their article they showed the before and after side-by-side, claiming that that "while Dunham's images were not drastically altered, it's important to remember how unforgiving the media is when it comes to images of women." OK, I'm totally with you. But I think there's more to this retouched image than first meets the eye.
While it's easy and even justified to be a little miffed at the choice to retouch Dunham's photos, it's a bit par for the course. According to the Wall Street Journal, every magazine does it. And a little bit of fixing some images doesn't change their content but just makes them more aesthetically professional. Even in photojournalism contests, slight retouching occurs, former director of photography for Men's Journal Rob Haggart told the WSJ. "This level of photographer and publication, it's really about adjusting every little thing."
What's more, Vogue isn't even the first magazine to feature Dunham in sexed-up makeup and clothes (and, judging by the below, in retouched images). Marie Claire did a spread that no one was talking about back in April 2013, with a photo that looks — shocker — pretty similar to the images in Vogue:

The bashing continued. Slate editor Katy Waldman wrote that "while Vogue's modifications were admittedly light, understanding Dunham's 'persona,' her 'creativity,' and who she is (among other things, a spokeswoman for more realistic forms of loveliness) would seem to preclude altering her body at all."
OK Waldman, I'm with you. Dunham's show Girls is all about being proud of all bodies, imperfections and all, and that's why so many people love it. But I think the "shame Vogue retouched Dunham!" and "she's a hypocrite for showing her face in a fashion magazine" critics are obscuring a more important point. And that is just being featured in Vogue is doing exactly what Dunham set out to do all along…and it's right on point.
A friend of mine who works in fashion (who shall remain nameless) said she tried watching Girls but couldn't because, in short, Dunham is ugly and gauche and she didn't like seeing her fat body naked. But that awkwardness is exactly what Dunham is trying to capture and normalize with her show, applying a contrast to the perfectly made-up women with tight bodies and gorgeous (if unaffordable on their salary) apartments and, if not a perfect husband, lots of attention from men (think: Sex & the City, Friends, Gossip Girl, Modern Family…I love most of these but they serve a different purpose). And my friend isn't the only one who feels that way, judging by the comments on the Vogue article. Like this gem (of verbal vomit):
"She is an ugly, fat dolt that finds humor in her own existence. I tried watching Girls and quit half-way through the first season. As a successful 30-year old who dwells in NYC…my friends and I are smart and successful…Lena Dunham makes a mockery of all the pretty New Yorkers that pride themselves in being healthy and fit, not to mention mentally stable."
And this:
"Anna Wintour must be in the beginning stages of fashion dementia…I realize not everyone has been blessed with great genes..but it is just her whiney, indulgent, condescending personality."
And this:
"I also realise that the age of the Supermodel is over, but surely there are a few models out there that would still sell your magazine?"
Indeed, lots of people love to criticize Dunham for being just an average girl on screen. Like Tim Molloy of The Wrap, who asked Dunham at a press conference earlier this week:
"I don't get the purpose of all the nudity on the show. By you particularly. I feel like I'm walking into a trap where you say no one complains about the nudity on 'Game of Thrones,' but I get why they're doing it. They're doing it to be salacious. To titillate people. And your character is often naked at random times for no reason."
To which Dunham responded, "if you are not into me, that's your problem," (as director Judd Apatow called Molloy's question sexist and misogynistic).
Aha. Seems like it's all adding up. (Besides just a really good PR ploy) maybe Dunham's intention was not to bow to the stereotypes she's fighting against but rather to broadcast her point of view in a place where people who otherwise trivialize her for being a "fat doll" couldn't avoid her. As Dunham told Slate France:
"I don't understand why, photoshop or no, having a woman who is different than the typical Vogue cover girl, could be a bad thing…If they want to see what I really look like go watch the show that I make every single week."
Amen, sister. Keep doing your thing.

During picnics and summer events, this is very popular with the Filipinos. Majority of the prep-time is in skewering the meat through the bamboo spears. The dish itself is very simple with very few ingredients, but oh so worthwhile after you barbeque them on the grill. Interstingly enough, the fattier the meat the more tender and less dry.
2 lbs of pork butt or picnic (sliced in strips)
1/2 cup vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
8 garlic cloves (minced)
2-3 tblsp canola or peanut oil
Salt and pepper
bamboo Skewers
Slice the pork into strips approximately 1/4 -1/2 inch thick. Do not slice too thin or it will dry out during the cooking process. In a glass or non-reactive bowl, add the pork, vinegar, sugar, and garlic. Using your hand, mix well. Season with salt and lots of pepper. Mix well, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or over night.
Soak bamboo sticks in water for at least 20 minutes. Skewer the pork into each bamboo stick. You can either skewer the pork on 3/4 of the stick or if you want more stick to handle, then only skewer the top half of the stick. After skewering, brush the pork lightly with oil. Heat the barbeque grill on medium and cook each side of the pork for approximately 8-10 minutes. This will depend on the thickness of the cut of the meat. Turn the skewered meat over and continue to grill on the other side for another 4-6 minutes. Do not allow the meat to burn or get dry. If it appears dry, brush with a little more oil. Serve hot with rice and pickled salad (achara).
NOTE: This can also be prepared in the oven using the broiler.

I picked up my mail at the Post Office this morning, and it included the results of the blood tests I recently had done. My total cholesterol has always been in the neighborhood of 240, so imagine my surprise to find it is now 175! The "Normal Range" is considered to be 100-199. Every single item on every single thing tested for was in the normal range – a lot of these these I haven't a clue about, but at least now I know I'm "normal". I've been walking on air ever since.
I have been taking glucosamine and chondroiton for years and it is no longer nearly as effective as it once was. Therefore I was thrilled to find a package at the P.O. containing some new supplements I ordered – basically coral calcium – which is said to hold back and even reverse bone loss, as well as to lessen the effects and pain of arthritis. So I'll give it a try for 3 months. Several years ago I took coral calcium for a while and it was fantastic – I could really notice a difference. The darn stuff was expensive though, so I reluctantly switched to regular calcium tablets.
The sun is shining today and everything looks bright and sparkly to me. I hope the feeling lasts for a while, and that everyone who reads this entry today will grab some of the bright sparkly for themselves. There is enough to go around!

Blue skies are my lullabies.
Rainbows the silver lining in my thunderstorm world.
Lightning-shattered dreaming.
Tell me I'll wake up.
Tell me it's not real.
Tell me my fragility is a misconception, a slip of perception, I've no imperfection, no flaw.
Lie to me, so simply, do it gracefully, mercy mercy me.
Words reaching out to some understanding, hidden away by the secrecy of a webpage, what do I want to say?
God, I'm human.
The blood running through my veins is contained only by skin, the heart pumping it will stop when it is destined, the thoughts in my mind will come and go until I am no more.
Tell me that's not scary.
Give me reason to believe that the entirety of existence is beautiful. It is. I know it is.
But convince me. I want to know that I'm living. I want to know that there's some method to madness, some resolution to the confusion.
I'm not seeking an end, but a solution. I don't want to quit, but a new beginning. I want to know.
How many people are feeling lonely tonight? How many are contemplating their life? How many are trying to find the will to live? Trying to find someone to help them, some reason to continue…the things you'd think are rare aren't so rare after all.
How many are suffering? How many crying? How many need someone like me, like you? Such a simple action, just to reach out and say don't worry. I'm a stranger, but I know what you're feeling. We're not all that different, really. All need to feel important, to feel wanted and loved and worthy. We all have our doubts and our fears, we're all imperfect. We're going to be okay though, you know? I'll tell you.
There are better days coming for us. Days that hold sunshine and smiles. Days where we don't doubt life, or fear death, or wonder how we can hurt so many and be hurt by so many. I know you're feeling blue, but breathe. I know you're feeling lost, but believe. Fight yourself, fight your enemies, fight your friends, fight the world, do what you can with what you have. You can live. You can be. You can aspire and seek and dream.
And you can cry. You can hurt. You can feel how you feel, because that's what's real. But don't let that define you. Know who you are and who you want to be. Try to understand why you do what you do and feel how you feel. Try to better yourself. Try to help others. Try to let them see that it's okay. It's okay to be afraid. To feel low and wretched and wrong. You're entitled. I'm entitled. We're entitled. But don't forget that you're better than that. We're better than our weakness. We're better than our flaws. We're better than we are. Keep improving. Let yourself cry, but don't forget to smile. Lash out, but always apologize. Don't lose sight of what matters in life. Take a step back. Relax. We're gonna be okay. I promise you, there's some good in every bad and some bad in every good. You just have to be able to ignore it during good times, and maximize it in bad. And it's not easy. It's a lifelong practice, and you still won't get it right. But we aren't supposed to get everything right. We're human, you and I. We're supposed to mess up. It'll suck. It'll hurt. Yourself and others. But, it'll pass. It always passes.
So the nightmares are waking me from sleep, and I can't find a way to convince my eyes to close.
I'm shaking and alone in the darkest way and time, I'm not even sure that I can see my own light.
But, some nights you can't see the stars, or the moon. They're there. Always and forever, shining clearly somewhere, for someone else to see.
I'll be okay. You'll be okay.
Convince me that the world is going to keep on turning, that the gravity is going to keep my feet on the ground, that the sun will rise and set and remind me that there are things bigger than myself or you or anyone else in play. Call it chance or circumstance, call it God or science or something undecided. There's no arguing.
We aren't the only thing going on this planet. There's more than our existence. There's more than our lives.
So, we can get downhearted and we can feel what we feel. But we need to remember that there's more than us. There's more than me and you. And that's why we're going to be okay. Because when push comes to shove, we don't matter all that much anyway.
Close your eyes.
Blue skies are my lullabies.
