A Letter to Harper
My sweet son, you are 3 months old. What an incredible 3 months these have been. At first I was a little scared and wrapped up in trying to figure out how to be a mom. But after a few days, all of the initial fears were gone and being a "mom" really came naturally to me. Not to mention, you have been a wonderful baby and have really made things easy on your mama. For the most part, you only cry when you are hungry. Now that cry comes loud and fast, and often but as soon as you start eating, you let out a little smirk and become happy again. You are just like your daddy, you love to eat!
You are animated and so alert, all I want to do is wait and see what you do next. You were born with bright eyes checking everything out and you still love to stare at everything around you. It is like you are taking every little thing in. We get stopped several times every day by complete strangers and their number one comment is that they can't believe how alert you are at such a young age (and they always throw in a comment about your beautiful blue eyes.) And when people stop to look at you, you almost always smile for them. It is adorable and everyone gets a kick out of it. Everyone loves your sweet smile and your amazing dimples.
It is crazy how much you change and grow every day! You love to cuddle and nuzzle into my arms. You always try to nuzzle your head into my neck. When I lay you down on the changing table, you immediately laugh and kick your feet up. You love to laugh and your sweet smile lights up the room. You love when I talk to you in a high-pitched voice. And you respond with the most adorable coos and sounds. I think you are trying to talk back.
Harp, you are my little sidekick. For the past 3 months we have done everything together. It is amazing that I can get so much joy from sitting there and staring at you. I love to hold you in my arms, sing the ABC's, and read you books. You let out the sweetest little laughs when we sing and read and they melt my heart! I love the way you sleep with your arms stretched above your head. When I go to pick you up after a nap, you keep stretching those little hands over your head and you usually let out a yarn. I love the way you grasp on to my index finger when you start to fall asleep. I absolutely love being your mother. I savor and enjoy every moment we spend together.
We call you our little angel. You were an angel before you were born. When Nana learned that we were pregnant with you, it gave her a reason to keep fighting her cancer. When the doctors gave up, she didn't, because she was determined to meet her first grandson. You have humbled me and your daddy. You have already taught us the true meaning of happiness. We are beyond blessed to have you as our son. We love you more than you will ever know!
Love always,

This is so sweet! My mom made a journal for me when I was a baby and wrote letters like this in it. It is something I will always cherish! Harper surely is a precious little boy!ReplyDelete
What a sweet letter. I hope nana was able to meet her grandchild, and I'll keep her in my thoughts and prayers.ReplyDelete

In this hub I will take a look at Nils Krogstad, a character from Henrik Ibsens play A Doll's House , with the view of him being an outsider" and how this standing is used to reveal shortfalls in the society of his time. The firm that makes this house is certified by the EarthCraft House which implies the house follows strict environmentally-pleasant pointers, is energy-efficient, and low-upkeep. An organized desk listing all 110 Michigan Representatives and their contact info, together with workplace telephone numbers and e-mail addresses. As an aside, it appears that all the pieces -doors,windows, trim has light in the sun. Nor do accept Portable Hot Tubs,or Guests which need to deliver Bands with them which might be clearly annoying to the Locals and Me if we staying in The Coach House -sorry please don't waste your time in enquiring.
I would actually love to show you a full dwelling tour with lots of wonderful Halloween decor however alas the house is in bit of a tizzy in the meanwhile and so I will default to the entrance door and the little little bit of fall decor I could muster up in this chaotic mess of things! Where the ecliptic crosses the western horizon, now we have the Descendant or Seventh House cusp.
I hope the following tips will prove to be useful when you've got found yourself residing in a moist house. The authorities must re-assume it's policies huge time or they danger a ticking time-bomb the place the amount of individuals with hire subsidies can solely develop as individuals retire. Most fashionable buildings will be fitted with a moist proof course which is designed to forestall rising damp, however many older properties can either haven't any damp proof course or a damaged damp proof course, which can lead to rising damp.
Most of you recognize that we've got been in our little house eight now for a few weeks and in that point we've got created stop a multitude! Just one factor – the shorter the lease, the higher the rent – that is the one downside. Ideal tourist attractions are The Roman Baths and Abbey, the rooftop pool at Thermae Bath Spa, Jane Austen Centre, Stonehenge, Avebury, Lacock, Longleat Safari & Adventure Park and Castle Combe. Made of chipboard, this dream dwelling may close up into a conveniently dealt with play set, in case younger girls felt the necessity to convey every thing to a good friend's home or Grandma's. The was an extention constructed earlier than we moved right here 2.5 years in the past and there was damp once we moved in. We fixed the guttering and thought that had fixed it but having taking off the wall paper at the moment I can see a massive patch of it, half on an exterior wall and half on an internal wall.
The plethora of low-priced houses for sale on this area is a mirrored image of the pain that these communities proceed to really feel. Glue some to candles, mix a few into the potpourri bowl…. use them in crafts; seashells can be attractively built-in into the interiors of your house. Before we actually even owned the house we had the possibility to work on it a bit and it was the entrance steps that needed our consideration first. By positioning the brand new huge tank downhill from the house tank, we were capable of transfer water to it using gravity.

I am of the opinion that as different schools have different philosophies and ethoi there is not going to be one system that is best. It is more likely that there will be a system or set of general ideas that will result in systems that are best for the individual school.
If I were setting up a system of paying teachers from scratch the first thing I would do is be clear about the principles and ethos of the school.
Let's say that a hypothetical school has the following principles:
- All pupils have the right to feel safe.
- All pupils have the right to learn in a supportive environment.
- This school strives to ensure all pupils achieve the best results possible in the subjects that will advantage them most in the future.
- This school strives to give pupils opportunities to participate in a wide range of activities beyond what…

- I spend no time in my bedroom or anywhere upstairs, unless I'm cleaning, because I need to shadow the twins at all times. I can't shower unless the kids are asleep, in case they roam the house, break into the cupboards, or make a run for it. We have to sleep with the bedroom door (and one ear) open throughout the night in case Will decides to take a run to the river. In other words, it's like living in the newborn stage six and a half years later.
For the record, we are continuously working on teaching the boys the skills they need to tackle each of these issues. But this is just a taste of the extraordinary little quirks that you'll be witness to if you look in our window. I don't tell you this to whine, as much as to explain why we might be a little more harried than the average parent, or unable to come to the phone, or broke because of the extraordinary expenses, or on edge because we're exhausted from the constant battle, or we have no drink to offer a guest because we couldn't get to the store. Have a little compassion for the people around you, because you never know what's going on behind the curtains unless you peek through their windows.

Oh, a child's imagination... Today Kaiya placed the cards from her "Memory" game on the upturned lids of a variety of pots. She pulled out a couple of wooden spoons and then proceeded to inform me she was "making muffins." Later, she placed the cards, er, muffins, in the "oven" (the box the game came in). When I pulled out the camera to take a picture, she ran over to get hers. She will not be outdone!
Although she looks completely different here, this picture was taken a mere hour later. She had to change out of her sweater because it got wet while she was cleaning the bathroom with me. And her hair was bothering her, making all five hairclips a necessity. It makes sense, right? Here, we made an entire meal of noodles and Cheerios just by using her Playdough gadgets. She kept hunkering down out of annoyance with my picture taking.
I took part in many toddler conversations today that went something like this:
Kaiya: Are there tomatoes in this soup?
Me: Yes, but don't worry. You don't have to eat them if you don't want to.
Kaiya: But I like tomatoes.
Me: Okay, then go ahead and eat them.
Kaiya: But mommy, I don't like tomatoes!
Me: (a combination of exasperated sigh and smile)
It was a quiet day. A much-needed day of HOME. We've been reeling this week with a very abrupt and unexpected change in daycare that has left us all upset and out-of-sorts. Almost two years, suddenly cut short. Kaiya's been on the edge, acting out, and in need of many more cuddles and reassurances than usual. She was beyond happy to have a quiet day at home with me.
And me? Well, me too. I'd love for a few extra cuddles and reassurances too! It's been a beautiful fall in many ways, but a difficult one as well, with many "life" stresses that have come and not gone. We're strong, but we're tired and in need of a serious "life" break. A quiet day at home today was a good start.

HA!Defiance going f2p won't save it.First the only free content is the base game and for those of you that didn't play it.That's only 7 hours including spending an hour in pvp.Oh and there are still bugs that are from alpha/beta.It won't be worth the download for poor quality.
Assbomb to mmobomb topic comment threads – it really is time to either get a mod to start deleting non relevant comments (see top) or change the way to comment i.e log in to post so you can delete accounts or even better ip ban —- it's getting to the point where I won't bother reading any comments nor post
The comment you made about stealing and how it would work. Would the house, building always have nothing in it or not. Well if someone steals something from your house are you going to not buy new things? Of course you are but you may not buy things as quickly. Maybe if you had 2 TV's stolen you may only be able to afford one, or if you had your grandfathers watch stolen stolen you wouldn't buy another watch. It also depends on if you're rich or middle class or poor, how quickly you'll replace stuff. Also maybe at first you didn't have an alarm or a guard dog, but after your house gets broken into you buy one or both and have cameras on the premises. Now they can do the same thing in an MMO. You break into a house once and its easy, just jimmy the lock or pick it, go in and steal stuff. Maybe next time you go in there will be fewer things or maybe there will be an alarm or a dog, you may have to take out cameras. Maybe you'll go past that house and see its for sale.
Of course you couldn't have cameras and alarms in a fantasy MMO but you could do certain things like maybe a wizard owns the house and will put a protection spell around it. Or maybe the occupant will have a guard dog or traps. I'm not saying you have to make game play like "Mighty Quest for Epic Loot", it doesn't have to be houses that are bought by players (although you could do that as well), but you can make it so that in time things are put back, or not and different random actions are taken (weather there is upgraded protection). Also it would depend on the NPC's living there, are they rich, poor..etc. Will they be home? If someone is home will he/she be a sound sleeper? How easy will it be for you to get caught. If you don't you make out with the loot, if you do you have to fight or run.
I'm not saying it would be easy to implement, I'm just saying I think its possible and something I'd like to see.
Actually the idea is good, but i don't see it happen anywhere else as DayZ, none likes to get his stuff stolen, prolly the community around the game will protest against it.
Defiance did some things right. There is one thing I hate about a lot of MMO's. When there is a boss battle you get people who constantly ask "group please" and Defiance gets rid of that by letting you jump into a quest and you're grouped with people automatically. Also in other MMO boss battles there is waiting for the boss and waiting for the previous group to finish killing the boss because if you join in you don't get experience for killing the boss unless you're in the group that makes the first hit. Same thing in Defiance, you just go to a quest and start playing it its simple.
Another thing it did right is the NPC's. You see them working as you're walking, running or driving around the game. They're not just standing there with their guns waiting to shoot people. This makes the game feel more alive.
There is one thing it does wrong and that is the tie in with the show. In the game you have powers and in the show no one has powers. The arc falls are done differently in the show than in the game (they only had one in the show that I can remember).
The game is all and all fun, probably the only MMO so far that I actually got into without getting bored. Could they have done better? Yes. But to me its a fun game. Also now I'm seeing games that are going to come out that seem to be taking a page from what Defiance did right. And thats a good thing.
Before thinking of spending money on defiance i can say only one thing its basically a short SP game do not in anyway think it has endgame and epic loot like any other mmo all is by chance from opening boxes and tbh this game after main story is done have not been played since launch, so get it cheap or not at all my biggest tip.
Defiance going Free was inevitable, the game dies fast, like any other Trion game
, the games they bring out are not necessarily bad but they either lack Advertising
or something unique, sometimes the Quality is not really worthy of a pay to play/buy to play.
I played the game and tried to watch the TV show, the legal way and Surprise, the TV isn't even available in Europe.
The more i look at CCP the more i know about there FPS Games, i know that they should stay true to EVE online and stop bringing out Shooter games,
everywhere i read that Legion is just a Poorly converted Console shooter, i might be wrong and the truth will show sooner or later.
But since even EVE bores the hell out of me i will probably don't care about Legion as well.
Founders packs are partly the worst shit i have ever seen, not content wise but Price wise, i mean let's take
a look at ArcheAge i don't understand why i should pay way above 100$ to play an alpha and Beta when other games give you that for 10$
it makes no sense to me to pay that much for a Game that will be Free anyways. if it is Buy to play and you pay like 50$ for early access
and a few bonus stuff than i am totally fine with it, but a Free to Play game asking people to pay stupidly high amounts
to early access and a few Bonus items and a damn Title is just nonsense.
Up to now i only bought one founder like package, and that is a Aurora LN including Alpha and Beta access for around 45$.
And the worst is that they somehow create a Class Community.
What i mean with it is that Alpha/Beta players stick to each other and totally ignore or even harass/bully People that did not spend a single $
on the game, they put themselves above standard player.
ARMA 3 and DayZ standalone did a good thing, they offer to buy the game for a lower price than the retail but you know that everyone in the game had to pay it since it is a retail game
at some point. and it will cost to play it for a hell of a long time.
A bomb goes to Warthunder, they patched the game so much that you feel literally no Progress on the research. They basically force you to Buy Premium.
DA bomb goes to RSI for the Ridiculous amount of 43+ Million Dollars founded already. That shows that if a community likes something, it can already be a big success and that RSI
is closer to the community than any other developer out There, they literally Share every little piece of progress with the community and go deep into suggestions from the Community.
And even go so far to let the Community Design Ships for the actual Game!
Question of the Week
Yes, on star Citizen, DayZ, ARMA 3, those can't really be seen as Founders Packs but they offer the same just for a Retail game, the game itself will cost a static Price when release,
so it actually benefits me a lot to Buy a Game in Early Development state for a Lower price than the retail. It benefits me more than Buying a MMO founders pack for a game that will be Free anyways.
It's highly unlikely that project legion will be a console port. Primary reason being (and not many people seem to realize this) is that the steam box is coming out soon.
There's also the issue that DUST is running on Unreal 3 and it's highly likely that Legion will be on U4 since that's what they are using for valkyrie. Unreal 4 entirely scrapped unrealscript so reusing the code from Dust is probably very time consuming and comparable in work to rewriting a new game.
Since i never really cared about CCP nor about the games i cannot really talk without failing at what i say, i just looked at a few hundred comments on youtube and many other places and that was what was seen the most.
At such an early stage none can really say what Legion will be like, will to go more the Tactical shooter on small maps or will it try to be a Planetside 2 kind of game with Huge maps and stuff. Could be anything. But all i heard about Dust is that they did Horrible there .
Might become a good game or might not, who knows, lets wait for some overpriced founder Packs or something alike.
I dont see how releasing a beta on other countries can affect a game… thats very stupid…
I totally agree that founders paks make no sense in f2p games."Here is our game that is totally free,now pay 50/150$ to get early advantage".
It only makes me guess,does guys that where willing to pay 150$ for something they never played and its supposed to be free,by the time they get to end game they already spent 2000$,5000$ ? to keep that edge.
Not even gonna try it…Even worst is the fact that it is the beta of a game already fully released in other countries,but thats another topic.

So to celebrate being united in Canters, having all our spring essays done and dusted and my accommodation victory we decided to have a proper catch up and go for a beautiful lunch at the newly renovated pub 'The Shakespeare' on Butchery Lane in Canterbury city centre.
In the shadow of the Cathedral I would describe 'The Shakespeare' as a trendy gastropub with very neutral, woody interiors. You can pop in any time of day for just a drink or to eat. We came on Frances' good recommendation and in fact when we arrived I realised that I had actually come with my parents and boyfriend on Saturday night for a pre-dinner drink before eating at La Trappiste (which was amazing as ever) and even then I thought ooh what a lovely place, I must come back here for a bite, after paying a group of ladies having food on the table next to us.
It was slightly quieter in the day and we we were shown straight away to a booth tucked to the side of the room where we could people watch and have a good chin wag.
My date studying the amazing menu. We decided to get a glass of white wine each (medium for Frances the designated driver and a large for me because, why not!).
There's a pretty courtyard with trendy stacked crates and fairy lights which I bet look gorgeous at night. When the weather warms up a little it will be lovely to sit here and soak up the sun in this little sun trap.
We decided on a seafood sharing platter and a side of chunky chips (hiding behind the bread mountain) to split, which came with the most amazing dips. The food came in good time and we dived in, trying a little of this and a bit of the other.
My favourite hands down was the calamari but special mention goes to the trout pate which was so good. We also spotted the meaty sharing platter which the couple on the table across from us were enjoying which also looked amazing, so we have said we absolutely must try that the next time we come.
We chatted and sipped away long after the lunchtime rush had ended, and after we had finished we wandered in to Canterbury to have a little browse of the shops before closing time. Canterbury is such a beautiful place I feel so at home here. Wandering round also made me realise that there are so many other lovely places I have to try for lunch so I had better get cracking!

Shiftlight Pro
I was looking for the smallest shift light possible and with the least hassle for instalation. This was taking in careful consideration of those nasty dipswitch boxes?(take room and have a 10-15% margin of error). On top of it all it had to be water resistant for those nights the bike could sleep outside a hotel. And if that's not demanding enough I wanted an indicator light for that sweet spot (powerband)comming out of tight corners. Well the SHIFTLIGHT PRO fit right in with what I thaught didn't even exist.:) 3 wire hook up,3 threshholds,waterproof,compact,extremely bright, Bluetooth and easy to use. 6 stars for me boys

Easy wiring
The Healtech Electronics Shift Light Pro is very easy to install. A couple wire taps and you're done. They come with wire taps but I soldered the wires together because I wanted a secure fit. As mechanic, I prefer that method because it is installed on a Buell Firebolt and there is a lot of vibration due to the 1203cc V-Twin.

I have a Goldwing and do not need this to act as a Shift Point Indicator but simply used to Display the Gear that I am I am presently in. Also I see that your Unit uses 3 Wires -- would this be Tachometer or RPM Input -- Speed Input for Speedometer -- and Ground? Would one also need a 12 Volt Input for 12 Volts to provide Power?

This is a shift light only. Our GIPro gear indicator line is what you would need to display your current gear. Depending on the year of your Goldwing, we have 3 different kits you may need. GIPro DS Series is for 2005-up, GIPro X-Type H01 is for 2001-2004, and for cable driven speedo models (2000 and prior) you'd need the GIPro X-Type with wheel speed sensor (GPX-WSS).

The community of Greenview was part of Thorncliffe/Greenview until 1991. At that time, two areas separated from Thorncliffe/Greenview to be established as separate communities. A small area of land form the western part of the community became known as Upper North Haven, and the eastern portion of the community is now Greenview. The boundaries of Greenview are quite irregular but generally it is located southwest of the Calgary International Airport. A substantial proportion of land in Greenview is occupied by industrial uses and the Canadian Pacific Railway line runs through it.
The Thorncliffe – Greenview community association is extremely active. The facility contains a commercial catering kitchen, a lounge, meeting rooms, offices, racquetball courts, and a seniors centre. For community recreation, the centre also houses a 4 lane bowling alley, an outdoor hockey rink, a baseball diamond, a playground and a tobogganing hill. Numerous community sporting activities take place at the centre, including racquetball, volleyball, slo-pitch, figure skating, hockey, ringette, baseball and bowling. A number of groups make use of the facility as well, including the Girl Guides, Boy Scouts, Timeout for Parents and Tots, Tai Chi and fitness. Special activities such as dances, craft fairs, parties and wine and cheeses are also held at the centre. To raise money for all of these activities, weekly bingos are held at the centre. The local Men's Booster Club and Women's League are also instrumental in raising funds.

My family has been going here for about 20 years for our dental needs. The recent change in location has modernized the office layout and looks great! The hygienists are very efficient in cleaning and examination, and I always feel in good hands when I do require further needs such as fillings, or bite splints. They are a very knowledgeable and professional group.The staff has always been warm and welcoming, even with a mouth full of stuff they try their best to hold a conversation! But all joking aside all the personnel are incredibly bright and polite. I have never been afraid of the dentist because I always have a great experience from the welcoming staff, conversation (especially with Margret and Dr Mulder), and the excellent service they provide. After so long it feels like they have become an essential part of our family, as they always ask how we are all doing and miss the loved ones who passed away just as we do. Not many can provide care with a smile and actually care and like them!

About Sibiu
Everything is better after you're full, no? I didn't have much to do. It gets dark quickly in the winter so I just decided to make the most of whatever little time I had and walked around the city. What can I say about Timisoara? I don't know much about it, frankly, and I didn't get a chance to find out either. I can tell you it's in Western Romania and is the third most populous city in the country. I can tell you it is called 'Little Vienna' for some reason (but I was in a foul mood that day and I refused to agree with whoever told me that). And I can tell you that it is a pretty city. If prettiness can show itself inspite of the snow, it's a pretty city indeed!

Harden's survey result
Angela Hartnett's "superb" Mayfair flagship has taken Pip Lacey's 2017 departure in its stride, and although its ratings dipped fractionally year-on-year, many reporters still feel Oscar Holgado's "Italian-oriented cuisine must be amongst the best in town". When it comes to the interior, the harsh view is that these "un-flashy" premises "on a quiet street" are "a little dull", but the more common verdict is that its "restrained and elegant" style "oozes class and calm" and that "the warm welcome and graceful professional service gets any visit off to a flying start".
As it enters its tenth year, Angela Hartnett's "understatedly brilliant" Mayfair haven is an unusual example of a swanky, celeb-backed restaurant just getting better and better as it approaches middle age. Though not enormously distinctive in design, "the dining room is beautifully set up – you don't feel crowded" – and the "charmingly kind staff" help "create a wonderful and romantic atmosphere". Head chef Pip Lacey's Italian-inspired cooking is taking the food quality here to new heights – "fantastically good" – and reporters "love that you can construct your own tasting menu", whereby you select any number of dishes from the menu's five sections in the order of your choosing. STOP PRESS: in July 2017, Pip Lacey left Murano, to be replaced by Oscar Holgado. Here's hoping he can keep up the good work.
"Not a restaurant for those who want fireworks… just very good!" Angela Hartnett's "smooth-running" Mayfair haven is low-key stylewise, but it's a "comfortable" place "exuding warmth", thanks to its "first-class" yet "unpompous" staff. Chef Pip Lacey has upped the ante, when it comes to the Italianate food – "superb" – and the flexible "build your own menu" approach is a "simple yet brilliant idea".
Angela Hartnett's "quietly sophisticated" Mayfair flagship is a "classy" mix of "sleek" (slightly anonymous) décor and "superb" cuisine (that's "not really that Italian"); its ratings were hit this year however, by incidents of "inattentive" cooking and "disinterested" service.
Restaurant details
Murano Restaurant Diner Reviews
"On a lunch visit had excellent meal with matching service. A testament is that I stayed longer than originally planned and ordered more than is my custom at lunch. While higher priced than most I thought I got good value, the mark of a good restaurant. I shall certainly return."
"Very good, some fantastic dishes although the presentation could have been a little better. Great fun, good service, very enjoyable."
"Seems to be better than it was the last time we came a few years ago."
Harden's says...
Murano W1
An elegant and refined, if perhaps rather anonymous, addition to the Gordon Ramsay empire, on the former Mayfair site of Zen Central (RIP); Angela Hartnett's Italian-influenced menu is the highlight of an impressive across-the-board performance.
Gordon Ramsay is so omnipresent in the media nowadays that it's easy to forget that the number of undoubted 'hit' London restaurants with which he has ever been associated is precisely three - the Royal Hospital Road flagship and maze (plus Grill), and the now-departed Pétrus. Everything else is media hype and (largely) Michelin-sustained nonsense.
That's not to say that the other restaurants have necessarily been bad, just that there's been nothing outstanding about them. Angela Hartnett - chef at this latest venture - is a case in point. We always felt her gig at the Connaught was a middle-ranker which was wildly over-praised in some quarters (a view consistently upheld by responses to our survey). Our expectations of the new venture, near Shepherd Market, were therefore not that high.
Well, it just goes to show' This turns out to be one of the best openings of 2008. That's not the least of the surprises. Especially as Ms Hartnett's PR machine is always banging on about her Italian heritage, it's something of a surprise to find that the menu is, at most, 'half-Italian' (the remaining bit being largely French). (This applies to the standard and dégustation menus, and also to the very good-value lunch.) Nor were we expecting a grand wine list of biblical proportions and diverse inspiration' and with 'entry-level' glasses at around a fiver.
Service is excellent. Of course, you expect a polished performance in a swanky Mayfair joint, but the attention to detail here is first-rate, generally (if not quite invariably) avoiding a descent into servility.
Prices - especially for lunch - are not excessive, for the area. For the record we enjoyed lunch for two, with a couple of glasses of wine and unrudgingly-brought tap water, for about £85. Highlights included the bread selection, a chicken and foie gras terrine, a monkfish 'stew' and an almond tart. Best of all, perhaps, were the vast array of inter-course and post-meal twiddles, which included an outstanding basil sorbet, plus some wonderful chocolates and wafer-thin brandysnaps.
On the downside, most reviewers have found the general style of the place to be rather anonymous, and this is a criticism with which it is hard to disagree. You could be inside an hotel. That said, the lavishness of the décor is executed in a very comfortable way. Like all other aspects of the operation, it seems well tuned to the Mayfair market at which the establishment so elegantly aims.

the president of trek bicycles, john burke, presenting his ideas at the taipei cycle show last year. basically, he is saying that the bike industry needs to divert some of their R&D/Advertising dollars towards advocacy efforts that are going on around the world.
makes sense, right? i mean, if you are a bike company, wouldnt you want to support the efforts of those organizations that are trying to get more people on bikes?

Hyponatremia is a disorder that occurs when the level of sodium in the blood falls below 130mM. Sodium is an electrolyte and helps regulate the amount of water that's in and around the cells. The symptoms of Hyponatremiainclude headache, nausea and vomiting, fatigue, restlessness and irritability, muscle weakness, spasms or cramps, seizures, loss of appetite.
Hyponatrmia is treated with IV sodium solution given intravenously which raise the sodium levels in the blood. Another way is by taking medications to manage the signs and symptoms of hyponatremia, such as headache, nausea and seizures.
Only 3% of this group had acute kidney injury, no patient had sepsis, and their Charlson comobidity scores averaged 1.8. Hyponatremic seizures occurred in 9% of these patients.

Not everyone can afford the Real Deal, so naturally, there are fakes of designer shoes, handbags, and clothing. A stranger might not notice the difference (unless they have a very keen eye), but there's something bothersome about wearing a fake. You're really fooling yourself (as well as others), because most are sub-par quality, and don't even come close to the real thing. Luckily, there's a way of getting around that: fast fashion.
The best stylists, brand representatives, and other important members of the fashion community make it a point to attend fashion shows for every season for ideas. And because we have great technology these days, as soon as something is presented on the runway, it's made public and noted as something that might become a trend. It trickles down to contemporary, mid-range, and low-end companies, which then leads to look-a-likes: designs that are almost but not quite the same as the high-end version. I call these shoes "double-takes." They make it easier for the masses to get the same look but at different price points.
Fake shoes cause bigger problems than a double-take design. Double-takes can't be mistaken once they're off the foot because of the label inside, therefore it's not possible to pass them off as the real thing. However, there are some people lacking ethics who will return fakes to a store and exchange them for the real thing if an associate doesn't know any better. This is a problem retailers are constantly struggling with, and it bothers me that many places are slow in training their employees to recognize the difference between real and fake. I was once shopping at Off 5th, the outlet store for Saks 5th Avenue, when I found a pair of poorly made fake Jimmy Choos being sold as real Jimmy Choos. I immediately asked an associate if I could speak to the manager, who thanked me for bringing it to his attention. As a previous retail associate at an off-price retailer, I think it's really important that associates pay really close attention so that this doesn't happen.
Double-take shoes are usually of better quality than fakes because they're designed and manufactured for legitimate companies rather than the odd street seller. And they usually get away with having a similar look to a designer item by citing differences such as heel heigh, shape, material, and color. However, some companies do get into sticky situations with the original designer (these cases in particular jump to my mind: Ivanka Trump vs. Derek Lam and Jessica Simpson vs. Louboutin). But in general, it's always better to look for a contemporary or mid-range option instead of a fake.

text: I end to agree with you that, in general, the education system exists to sustain our social order. I don't agree with Sayan's post to the effect that there is a problem with the home environment that holds students back (remember Moynihan?). But, I also think the reality 'on the ground' is much more complex and contradictory. Do you have children, Mark? Where would you rather send a child of yours, to a mainstream NYC "factory school," where students are expected to shut up and obey, or one of the various alternative schools, where students can at least learn alternative viewpoints and critiques, and are expected to think a bit more critically about their social environment. I've taught at both, and send my son to the latter. The latter is better. For most of us Marxists, we got our political education from our parents and/or from life (including butting heads with our teachers and schools), but let's not make a virtue of necessity (or something like that...). I also recognize the limitations of these schools. It's no doubt true that even alternative public schools support the status quo (or else they wouldn't even be allowed to survive at the margins). A friend was fired from a prominent "progressive" alternative school years ago for taking to heart the empowerment message and encouraging a student solidarity walkout. But, I regard it as, on the whole, positive, that my son gets to read Malcolm X, learns to critique the mass media, is able to express his opposition to the war in Iraq in his school.

Mumbai: Mumbai attack accused David Coleman Headley on Monday narrated the sequence of events before a court via video link how Lashkar-e-Toiba planned and executed the deadly 26/11 attacks and the role of Pakistan's intelligence agency ISI.
The former spy Headley currently serving 35-year prison sentence in the US for his role in the Mumbai attacks, detailed the sequence of events leading up to assault as he deposed before Special Judge GA Sanap for nearly five-and-a-half-hours.
He spoke about his training by the LeT in Pakistan Administered Kashmir (PaK) and Abbottabad near Islamabad under the guidance of LeT founder "Hafiz Saeed sahab", whose picture he identified in the court, as also its commander Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, and how he got in touch with three officers of Pakistan's ISI — Major Ali and Major Iqbal and Major Abdul Rehman Pasha.
Headley told the court that he had changed his name from the original Dawood Gilani after instructions from the LeT commanders, including Lakhvi, and ISI officials to carry out recce in India for an attack, an "adventurous" task for him.
Headley said though he wanted go to Kashmir and fight Indian troops but he was told that he was "too old" for that.
"Lakhvi told me that they would use me for some other purpose," he said, adding it was to be more "adventurous" than Kashmir.
Talking about his travel to India, the LeT operative said, "Before the first visit, (his LeT handler) Sajid Mir (also an accused in the case) gave me instructions to make a general video of Mumbai."
During his examination by special prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam said he had "joined a leadership course where both Sayeed and Lakhvi used to come and give speeches against India. He completed his education from Hasan Abdal Cadet College in Pakistan but left for America at the age of 17."
Headley's lawyer's Mahesh Jethmalini said he has confessed that he had joined LeT after being influenced by Hafiz Saeed.
He also told the court that Tahawwur Hussain Rana, a former Pakistan military physician convicted for providing support to LeT for plotting an attack on a Danish newspaper, had helped him get a five-year visa to India.
"Rana knows something about the 26/11 attacks. I told him not to come to India," Headley told the court. "Rana knew the purpose of my visit to India."
The deposition of Headley, assumes significance as it may unravel the conspiracy behind the brazen terror strike, which left 166 dead and 309 injured. The court had on December 10, 2015, made Headley an approver in the case and directed him to depose before the court on today.
He had then told Special Judge GA Sanap that he was "ready to depose" if granted pardon. .
The court is currently trying key plotter Sayed Zabiuddin Ansari alias Abu Jundal for his alleged role in the attacks.
Earlier in the day, before Headley's deposition, Jundal told the court that he was withdrawing his lawyer and sought 15 days' time for appointing a new one.
He also told the court that his name is Sayed Zabiuddin Ansari and not Abu Jundal and sought deletion of his alias from the court records.
Nikam strongly objected to Jundal's submission and said that it amounted to "delaying tactics".
Jundal was too produced before the court via video link from the high security Arthur Road jail in Mumbai.

Happy Friday!
"It's about getting that balance"
What a start to the day as I was woken abruptly by the chaotic one. She's the only person I know who is ready to start the day as soon as her eyes open. She certainly does not get that from me. L asked if she'd had a can of coke in her cot this morning as she was bouncing round the room like Tigger. Frog in a blender - bit like my dancing when I've had too many apple sours. I could only open one eye at that point. It was all too much for 5.30am. TGI Friday.
Today's the day I get to book both of the kids into nursery to get the house jobs done and steal a few minutes to myself to blog and eat cake. Sssh, don't tell L! Sometimes I feel guilty for booking extra sessions for the girls especially when I have friends who don't even take the nursery up on the free hours when their child is three and they don't work and here's me working and then also booking them in on my days off. Trust me though I'm much better for it later when I've got the jobs done and I can concentrate on the girls and relax about the house. I guess it's about getting that balance.
So to make the most of the three hours (technically two hours 30 minutess once I've dropped them there and got back and then returned for them) I decided we had enough time to go and do the grocery shop before the drop off. I promised I would cook for L tomorrow night as I haven't done anything special for a while so I needed ingredients, plus have you been to the supermarket on a Saturday? Jeepers, it's hideous.
So I bundled the kids in the car and sped my way round to the shops. G was loving my singing but I'm not entirely sure "Stacey's Mom" is the most appropriate tune to be belting out for their tiny ears. Sorry but not sorry!
It was like Supermarket Sweep racing round the shop skidding round the corners. I especially loved how vodka was second on the list before the essentials like bread and milk. L is knocking up some winter speciality with Werthers Originals for a girlie get together. I wasn't 100% sure what size bottle of vodka I should be buying at 8.50am so I went for the biggest. That way if anybody thought it inappropriate with the two kids in tow and me being pregnant they'd think I was really bad and not just a little bit wreckless.
I gave the Xmas pudding aisle a dirty look as I passed it, after consuming a whole one last week. All 1372 calories of it. I felt ill. I am still annoyed at L as she didn't even try and stop me but she said I was enjoying myself so that's all that matters. Poor baby will have been high as a kite on sugar and rum!
So after the nursery drop and unpacking the shopping I now have about 90 minutes to do the cleaning, change the beds and get at it with Henry on the carpet and make the place look beautiful for the weekend. Following that, lunch with a friend then G's first swimming lesson going solo where I'm expecting tears and tantrums and that's just me, never mind the two year old I will have with me who will be wholly unreasonable when I try and explain she's not swimming today and her lesson was Wednesday. I plan to pack all of our swimming attire just in case a) Chaotic decides to jump in in protest b) it's my only negotiating strategy when it all goes belly up.
And if I survive until 7pm without consuming my whole body weight in cake, then pudding club will commence, of which I am the honorary member (or only member) but it's what gets me through the day.
Happy Friday!

We've Joined the Club.
Just been up to storage and there is a slight leak from ( yes you have guessed it ) the roof join on the off side rear.
Have e-mailed dealer to see if we can get it sorted ASAP.
5 comments:
Blimey Ian.There seems to be a rash of these.Going to check mine again.You would think this could be easily sorted by fitting a much wider watertight covering on the roof.Hope its sorted quickly.ReplyDelete
Bill, Yes it does seem to be Baileys Achilles Heel in an otherwise good van,looking at the design it may look satisfactory on a CAD screen but actually on a caravan being bounced and twisted on our pristine roads it is doomed to eventually fail.ReplyDelete
Sorry, Ian, but can you describe this picture to me please? I can see that the polystyrene is the sidewall/roof join, but what is the other thing? Is yours leaking water into the offside rear upper cupboard in the bedroom? I have already pre warned my dealer water pools on my roof, and that during the first service in June (assuming nothing untoward happens beforehand) I shall be looking for a complete strip and replacement of the roof joking strip. I have it in my mind that somewhere on CT it has been stated that Bailey have got some form of remedial replacement.ReplyDelete
Sorry to hear this Ian. A really poor design this. At least yours has failed under warranty so you will get it fixed. I know my dealer has done "a number" of these so far and will no doubt be doing lots more.ReplyDelete
Ian,Yes sadly it is a common problem,I have commented in a blog post.ReplyDelete

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled this week that second mortgages on underwater homes cannot be voided during bankruptcy. The ruling involved a case in which two home owners in Florida had filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Prior courts had ruled that the home owners in bankruptcy could void a second mortgage when the debt owed to the holder of the first mortgage is more than the home's current value. As such, the lender would then lose its ability to foreclose on the property even if the value of the home increases.
Bank of America, which in this case was the second mortgage holder, argued that the prior court's ruling was different than other appeals courts across the country.
The Supreme Court agreed, voting unanimously that home owners who declare bankruptcy cannot void their second mortgage obligations even if they're home is underwater, meaning they owe more on it than it is currently worth.

We have been talking in class about the nature of truth, and have decided that all truth is God's truth. Most would agree that truth is generally preferable to falsehood. However, what if knowing the truth caused more pain that being in blissful ignorance. This really calls into question both the right of the client to autonomy and the nature of healing. Can healing really be good if it leaves you in a more painful place than you are currently in, just with a better grasp on reality? What if the healing really left the client in a worse place than his ailment. But what if the ignorance was actually a tool that helped on the job and kept those closest to you alive, as least as far as you are aware.
If the therapists helped him come to find which world was the real one would they be helping him heal, or would they be harming him? The consequences of staying the way he is include seeing both his wife and his son grieve for the loss of each other and work toward moving on when he has no intention of letting either go. Even though he would be still see both of them, they would each be moving further from him because as they see it, he is stuck in the past and not moving forward. Lets say then that his wife wants to move on, clean out their son's room, and get on with her life. He is still in the world where he sees his son every day and has no intention of moving on or letting him go. From her perspective, he is stuck in the past and not willing to even try to move on causing her great pain. What if she leaves him because he is so stuck, and then he realizes that is the real world. He has now lost both his son and his wife has left him. It seems that if he was able to determine which world was real and which one was a dream then he would be in more psychological distress, at least at first. Let's assume then that after determining which world was the real one, with the help of the therapist, he went through the grieving process and came to terms with his loss. At this point he continues on with his life with either his wife or with his son and has grieved the loss of the other. Would he really be better off than when he started where they were both alive just not together? Does the therapist's opinion even matter if the client is unwilling to change? Is there such a thing as healthy psychosis? These are just a few of the questions brought up by this series. Counselors have the opportunity to question the nature of healing and their views of client autonomy by critically analyzing the questions raised by Awake.

In your post you do raise an interesting question. It brings to mind the verse John 8:32 "And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free" I believe that knowing the truth is better than living in denial. However I have never lost a love one to death, and do not want to assume that denial would a wrong way to cope. While it may be true that truth would bring about healing, however we live in a fallen world and I believe there are a few painful experience it would be hard to come back from. I believe you bring up great questions and points. It would be very interesting to find out if there is any research done.ReplyDelete
Kandi, i feel as though that scripture is related very closely related to counseling as a whole. for we are to bring about truth for healing and healing is in truth, truth to selves and truth to one another; for believing that a Lie can actually help you function or maintain sanity is a trick of the enemy for; if you function on the foundation of a lie you're not functioning at all just existing.ReplyDelete
Brittany, thank you for your post. This indeed looks like an intriguing show, and I may start watching it after this post! I find the concept to be so interesting and thought provoking. It really makes me consider what I would do as the therapist. we have been continually talking about the immaterial self in class and this fits as a good example. Something that I love about this class is that we continually have to think outside the box and not give a definition we read out of a book. This is a vital tool for us as we continue on to be Christian leaders in our profession and I think that your post captured what we do in class. Thank you for making us think of how we need to be prepared for a variety of clients in our future.ReplyDelete
I really enjoyed reading your post. I think the idea for this show is very interesting. I would be intrigued to see a Christian world-view theory on this show, as well as research on coping, PTSD, and/or split personality disorders. Praise God that we know the truth and can stand firm in our faith, even when Satan tries to trip us up.

The climax of Smith's career and the start of Brigham Young's, it was here that Utah really had it's beginnings and that the pattern of Mormon society in the West was laid.

When I first heard about the All Aboard PAX, the first thing that came to mind wasn't high speed trains or tawdry encounters on an El Train like in Risky Business. No, my first thought was the young guy who used to drive the miniature train through our local mall when I was a kid. There was one guy in particular who was so cute, I always tried to catch a glimpse of him while loitering outside the food court.
He was the inspiration for my story, Next Stop: Funnel Cake. I didn't want to go the traditional train route, so I took the kernel of the story that young man provided and moved it to a cut-rate amusement park. The result is something I'm really proud of and I hope you all enjoy.
I moved to get out of the train, but he pulled me back in and kissed me, his hand holding firmly to the back of my neck.
"You're lucky you're so cute, Trav. Otherwise, you'd be in big trouble."
I lifted an eyebrow, running my hand along his leg.
"Oh, yeah. What kind of trouble?"
He pulled me out of the train by my wrist and walked us to the caboose. Before we climbed inside, he pushed me against the car and unhooked the clasps that held up the top of my overalls. The pants caught at my hips, but Andrew simply tugged and dropped them to a pool at my ankles. I looked around, even though I knew there was no one left in the park, my mind suddenly frozen in irrational fear.
"This kind of trouble."
I was already half hard when he pulled my underwear down, the night air feeling cool on my skin. Andrew gave the head of my cock a soft lick and a kiss, but nothing more.
"Don't be so impatient, Travis."
"I'm not. But, what if someone walks by."
"Who would be here at this hour?"
He had a point, but there was still an element of danger about the situation I wasn't used to. Andrew found the perfect way to distract me, though, and enveloped the head of my dick, sucking me deep into his throat.
"Oh, Jesus, Andrew."
He moved back and forth between teasing me with gentle licks and devouring me, deep throating me as far as he could go. He was in shadow, the only light around us coming from the security spot light on the corner of the maintenance shed. I put a hand to his head as he sucked me, my feet in danger of sliding out from underneath me. I urged him to his feet, as much as I didn't want to stop him and shoved him into the caboose. He fell into the seat and I stumbled in after him, leaving my pants, shirt and shoes in a heap outside the car.
"Your turn, Andrew."
I undid his belt, wrenching the denim down his hips until they were past his knees. He took them the rest of the way and threw his pants and flip flops next to mine on the ground. Slouching his back against the pleather seat back, I knelt between his knees and grabbed his cock at the base. He squirmed and I couldn't help but laugh.
"Now who's impatient?"
"You think you're so funny, don't you?" he said with a grin.
"I do. Which you know."
He grabbed me behind the neck and pushed his cock into my mouth, his forceful approaching making me hot. I let him fuck my face for a while, before taking over control and slowing things down, stroking his balls with my tongue before swallowing his cock again.
"Fuck, Travis."
His words came out in a hiss and with one last stoke for good measure, I released his cock from my mouth.
"Should we get out of here, Andrew?"
"Not a chance. I want you right here."
"On the train."
"Why not? Give the thing a fitting send off, since you never have to drive it again."
I opened my mouth to protest, but thought better of it.
"Okay, why not?"

Who knows what will be on the retired list next Sunday? Someone does, but not me, except that for sure the line of Simply Adorned jewelry will be discontinued as a jewelry line. There may be items suitable for embellishing paper crafts that will continue, but not the line as we know (and love) it now.
For Super Saturday, our big door prize was a Simply Adorned charm, chain, bauble, and trinkets. Tina Moore and I each made an insert to include with the prize. This was mine, which I duplicated for my own use. You'll have to believe me that it looks adorable in the beveled glass charm — it's just so hard to photograph that way!

text: Report post Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) Since I do like playing Freeze Mage in Wild I am always on the lookout for new technology. As such it was quite the blessing that Thijs decided to give the archetype a go during the last heroic tavern brawl on stream. The decklist he used: Ice Lance x2Frostbolt x2Mad Scientist x2Bloodmage ThalnosArcanologistPrimordial Glyph x2Medivh's Valet x2Doomsayer x2Arcane Intellect x2Frost Nova x2Ice Barrier x2Ice Block x2Acolyte of Pain x2Fireball x2BlizzardEmperor ThaurissanArchmage AntonidasAlexstrasza Now Thijs is a much better player than myself, obviously. As such I am still not sure how much of his success was due to the ingenuity of the list compared to a more classical build and how much was his sheer play skill compensating for deficits in his impromptu deck building.

I'm not going to write any code examples for built in events as Liam Randall already has done an excellent job of doing that. His Github page has Bro scripts that keep tallies of the number of events that fire while Bro runs. Read through the scripts and try to understand them. They are repetitive as they do the same thing for each event.
In reality, Laim's fire scripts are great for understanding how Bro works, but are too simple to give any great insight into what is happening on the network. Pick an event he included from a file, an easy one you can easily generate (like dns_request) and replace his code block with your own. Here's an example something I want Bro to do when it sees a DNS request.
Try running this script and writing your own. Add some local variables and calls to built in functions to the event.event dns_request(c: connection, msg: dns_msg, query: string, qtype: count, qclass: count)
print fmt("DUDE! I just saw some bro query the DNS for %s with a query type of %d and a query class of %d", query, qtype, qclass);

Retirement funds: let's talk about the elephant in the room
Why the industry won't do more to look after investors
There's an elephant in the room. Not the Indian one – that one appears to have left the building. We want to discuss the African variety. It's larger, louder and potentially more dangerous, and it likes to charge – a lot.
Much has gone wrong in our country these past nine years. In essence, there's been a wholesale failure in governance. Public officials were allowed to trample on the norms of our democracy, permitting and exploiting conflicts of interest, and neglecting to hold the responsible parties to account.
If there's one positive to this, it's the way society and our media mobilised to bring all this to light. It's a reminder for all of us to be vigilant about potential abuses. As Jon Stewart, former host of The Daily Show, put it: "When you smell something, say something."
In that spirit, the African elephant we want to sniff out here is the retirement fund industry – or, more specifically, the way its poor stewardship contributes to the high failure rate among retirement savers (only a fraction of even our working population can look forward to a comfortable retirement).
The national Treasury suggested as much when it first spoke of retirement reform and sought a system that "serves the needs of South Africans better and more fairly than in the past, and as efficiently as possible, by providing more appropriate products".
If we strike out the polite qualifiers, the Treasury's views on the subject become plain: it wants the retirement industry to look after investors more than it looks after itself by offering products that are "fair", "efficient" and "appropriate".
That begs the question: why wouldn't the industry do so on its own? But it doesn't. It was for the same reason that the Financial Services Board was forced to launch its "TCF" initiative, compelling the industry to treat customers fairly.
The problem lies in the conflict of interest that runs through the industry. It exists because the industry lives off the money put up by investors, by pocketing some of the investment returns for itself. The more it keeps, the less investors get.
The industry delivers some essential services for which it deserves a fee. However, in its stewardship role it must recognise that the available return is finite and diminished by those fees. It is essentially a zero-sum game: if service providers maximise their income, it is at the direct expense of investors' living standard in retirement.
If the industry took its stewardship role to heart, it would establish a fair balance between the two. Yet many of its practices are self-serving – rewarding owners but costing clients billions of rand in unnecessary fees every year.
Stewardship or salesmanship?
These clients are entitled to a fair share of the investment return. They put up 100% of the capital and take on 100% of the investment risk. Fees eat dramatically into that return. Over a 40-year savings term, an additional 1% per year in fees can reduce the savings outcome by 20%–25%.
Some retirement annuity funds charge as much as 3% per year, leaving clients with 40% less money than they could have had with a low-cost alternative. Even though the industry is well aware of the long-term fee impact, it continues to provide and market these products to unsuspecting investors.
One reason some funds' fees are so high is because they pay for expensive "active" fund managers. These offer the possibility (but no guarantee) of an above-average investment return.
By contrast, low-cost providers typically rely on indexing, a mechanical investment process that captures the average market return. The evidence overwhelmingly shows such funds are more appropriate because they beat most actively managed funds, even more so once fees are considered. They also eliminate the risk of investing with a manager who massively underperforms the average market return.
Notwithstanding this evidence, the industry's chain of service providers – consultants, financial advisers, administrators, asset managers and even fund trustees – continue to advocate actively managed funds, not because it serves their clients, but because it's more profitable for themselves.
The real money fight: the elephant in the room
10X CEO Steven Nathan, S&P's Zack Bezuidenhoudt, radio host Africa Melane and comedian Siv Ngesi talk about some of the issues the investment industry doesn't want to.
Compounding the stewardship deficit is the amount of investment choice on offer. There are now more than 1,600 unit trusts available to local investors, with some fund houses offering two dozen different funds or more. Rather than "sell what we make" – which, efficiently, would be their best investment view – they make what is likely to sell, irrespective of whether it serves clients' interests.
Fund administrators enable this by offering their members investment choice, even though many are unable to make informed decisions on their own. For them, such choice and complexity manifest in higher admin charges, advice fees, emotional investment decisions and misguided switching. It keeps brokers and advisers in business but does not improve their returns.
It was John Bogle, founder and former CEO of The Vanguard Group, now the second-largest asset manager worldwide, who said that "maximising profits is right for most businesses, but it's not right for this business". Notwithstanding, our retirement industry persists in advocating products that boost its own profits at the expense of its clients' pensions.
South Africans are hopeful that our new leadership portends a return to governance that will help turn the country around. It is probably expecting too much for the retirement industry to go with the spirit of the times and embrace its stewardship responsibilities more fully. But it shouldn't be, if the alternative course is to deal with the backlash from what is likely to be increasingly informed and vigilant investors.

Americas Last Call
Contributed by David Holman on Apr 1, 2017 (message contributor)
Summary: Americas Last Call
America's Last Call
I'm going to preach a message to you that America doesn't want to hear. This country has been blessed by the Lord and it has taken advantage of His blessing of prosperity and has turned toward the pursuit materialism. America at this moment is enjoying wealth in all areas of life. I have talked to people from both sides of the camp. In 2008 when we were going through the financial crises and people were losing their homes, crude oil was $147 a barrel, food became inflated, the stock market was in woes and the government decided to print more money and people were saying it was going to get better. It did but friends God was trying to get our attention again but this nation continued on the same path. There was no positive fluctuation toward the Lord as 911 brought and today we are enjoying another prosperous time in the history of the US. People are living comfortably and are saying they are going into the future with high expectations. According to the IRS there are over 87,000 millionaires in the US and Americans are spending over 200 billion dollars a year in exports luxuries. Yet there is still poverty and unemployment but as a whole the US is still going strong in its prosperity. According to US.DEBTCLOCK.ORG which is a real-time debt clock the national debt is over 19 trillion dollars and the numbers are growing by the tens of thousands per second. Go and look for yourself at US.DEBTCLOCK.ORG. Folks we are racing toward economic ruin. Because of our pursuit for wealth and materialism how is it that God can continue to bless a nation like America? This nation is on a course to push God out completely. I hope you will hear this morning by being in tune with the Holy Spirit as I speak to you about what I believe is Americas Last Call. Turn with me to
Folks this is where we are as a nation and every person and every nation that refuse God there is a reckoning day coming. The practice of these things spoken of are so wide spread and accepted that we as a nation are ripe for God's judgment upon us. There is a perpetual movement to remove God from our society. Our government has discussed the topic of removing "In God we Trust" from our currency. We have an ocean of blood from killing millions of unborn babies; we are a nation who kills God's babies and save the animal. As a nation we have ask God to leave our homes through TV programs that push sex and the using of profanity and the cursing of the name of Christ. The Whitehouse has made it their pursuit to remove all uses of the Bible, the hanging of plaques or anything that has to do with Christianity. Why is it that buda is never cursed, Allah is never cursed but all over the TV and in society the Lord Jesus Christ is profaned and dragged down in the gutter as a common thing? The government has control over the school system and has made laws to allow different genders to use the same restrooms. Teachers are told to refrain from sharing their faith unless the door opens by another student; it's all an attempt to silence and snuff out Christianity from our society. How many nations do you hear cursing their God, how many nations do you hear of that want to get rid of the religion they were founded on? Folks we are blatantly cursing God to be cursed by Him.
Verse 4 says "Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing the goodness of God leads you to repentance?" The riches of His goodness mean blessings. God has shown His blessing on us through His riches and yet as a nation we have despised Him. All of our accomplishments are self obtained. Man no longer gives God the credit for what He has or what has been accomplished in his life. Gods' blessing and goodness toward a nation to give it prosperity is so it might recognize Him as the source of it that it might repent. That's what it says in verse 4. "not knowing the goodness of God leads you to repentance."
The question I ask myself and God as Jeremiah did in 12:1 and as King David did in Ps. 73; God why are you allowing this wicked nation to prosper, why are you allowing us to go on the way things are. We have pushed you completely out of our society. We murder, rape, molest little children, violence is heard so frequently that it has become a normal part of society. And we should be asking ourselves, God why are we still living in the prosperity we have today. Folks I want you to know that America is standing on the brink of social economic collapse and this is probably Gods' last mercy call before His judgment comes upon us and weather you believe it or not its coming.
