Re: Prole's Band?!?!?Yep, I seen em and I got a demo :oP
They're playing tonight at Turnmills..... but I don't think you live in London.
They sound reeeall good, I'm gonna resist comparing them to people coz I'll get a clip round the ear from Mr Threat but, definitely worth paying attention to!
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?Do they have a website by any chance?
<i'm very envious of your demo>
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?sarcy!
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?sarcy!
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?You can nick it off soulseek, it's the faculty....
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?I'll do the comparing for you SCL. I think they sound similar to Interpol. *ducks Prole's sipe*
I enjoyed seeing them live not so long ago, even though they sounded similar to Interpol *ducks*
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?ooooh!!
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?and the name of the band is?
Also Proles role in the band?
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?and the name of the band is?
Also Proles role in the band?
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?The Faculty. Prole is their roadie *ducks*
ok, ok he's the bassist.
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?Thank you Darcy... Prole's not very forthcoming (yes i will continue to talk as if he isn't here), you would think he was shy about it or something ;-)
I don't suppose they have a website do they?
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?He's just playing his cards close to his chest I guess. Other members of the band post on here sometimes too...hi guys *waves*. They are a splendid bunch and I wish the band well....even if they do sound similar to Interpol....*ducks and runs*
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?Ha - You're braver than me Darcy!!!!! I would say they are Interpolesque, but unlike you, I love Interpol... Did you prefer the vocals??
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?Yeah I think that's what did it for me. It was like Interpol with good vocals.
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?The Faculty!!! He's the bassist.
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?thefaculty/info I think - look em up in the band bit up the ^^^^ Diver was rude, ignore his review, he was in a bad mood...
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?well I dont like to spam but we're playing tonight at Turnmills for the really curious of you out there!
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?Shit... I thought the name rang a bell.
I'm off to look at my own review...
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?oooh, sorry 'bout that.
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?come see them tonight - let them change your mind! at getloaded at turnmills, on at 10.30 and lammo's djing after.
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?At Youthmovie, innit.
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?You've seen them before......
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?ah well, you'll have your chance, don't worry!
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?I've actually heard of The Faculty.
Or maybe I'm thinking of the horror flick.
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?no no no: film = bad, band = good. you've heard of the band, yes, the band, not the film, the band!!!
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?I'm sensing a lot of negativity from this, and your other posts, did you spend any time at the neverland ranch as a child?
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?Lovely to see you again emollient!
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?Hey, yeah... did it go well last night? Sorry i couldn't be there too... 400 miles is a bit far really!
Quite liked the tunes, but that site only streams them through a flash player and the quality/compression is a little suspect. Any chance of getting hold of some MP3's? I've tried Soulseek to no avail!
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?emollient!!! THERE you are!!! how are you by the way, haven't seen you around in a while! I'm glad you've been lurking though - i've heard that bloc party both need and want you keep on posting insults on an internet message board to a person you will never meet solely because they once insulted them! in fact - bloc party are shit! there you go, why don't you now pursue an interminable grudge against me?
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?How was the gig last night?! I'm really sorry I'm such a loser. I fucked up bigly on some analysis I had to do for today and ended up working to the early hours. How were Bex and Ryder?!! And Lamaq (sp?) ??! Did you get drunken?
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?Considering the rest of their post, the line "your bitterness consumes you" kind of made me chuckle, seeing as how it was written by someone who obviously isn't bitter at all......
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?Bolloc Party? I thought it was common knowledge that they are the most overrated pile of crap in the history of overrated piles of crap? In fact when the music industry is not too busy poisoning itself with a retarded policy of ever decreasing returns by only signing bands that are utterly derivative and boring, it actually has the front to claim that these bands are "new", "exciting" etc. In fact, as long as there are young kids around who've not had the time on this earth to realise that the bands they like are stealing, copying and destroying the legacy of innovative music from past decades, then this kind of thing will continue. Had Joy Division been around now, they'd have got ignored whilst the Rakes sign to V2.
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?Jesus, where do people get off saying offensive shit like that! Fair enough if he didn't like your band, but he could be constuctive about it!
Besides, he is way way off the mark!
Fucking tosser!
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?it was a good night all in - bamos will be jealous as Clint Boon gave me a beer - steve lamacq played student indie and 'Client B' chose some ace songs whilst Shaun Ryder just spoke incoherently into the mic over his own records.
I can't obviously comment on us but the PA was gash
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?*tries to hide jealousy*
*grumble grumble grumble*
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?it was like meeting the queen as he said 'And what's your name?' 'And what do you do?' - very tall unlike Ryder who is 4ft in platforms
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?well if you were there why do you describe them, erroneously, as 'indie rock'? that kind of proves you weren't. and i notice you've rated YMSS, so why didn't you go and see them instead last night, or are you so obsessed with prole that you're actually stalking him?
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?I'm sure you were great, I've been touting out your demo, hope you don't mind!
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?I've heard he's lightweight tho.
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?Good point Limo makes on here about if JD had been around now by the way
yes the teenage sensation is a lightweight and a lefthander so that says it all
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?I quite like the Rakes actually. If Joy Division were a 'new' band tho, the Rakes wouldn't exist.
Prole, 'borrowed' some of your tunes off SmilingCrazyLady. Liked it! It's been upgraded from the 'library' to 'my playlist' on iTunes -what greater honor is there?
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?Lefthander? Is that slang term for something, or are you alienating the more artistically talented members of the community who use their left hand for all purposes.
Bamos, 25, left-handed and proud :)
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?Bamos the irony is that I am also a left hander who plays right handed (read into that what you will) like noel gallagher does sadly. Also our drummer is a left hander so that leave our singer in the minority
A victory for the Sinisters!
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?Nothing specific against the Rakes, they're a diluted and scene friendly version of what post-punk is supposed to be. They're super nice chaps and make a not unpleasant racket. Why the fuck sign to V2 though?? At least bolloc party signed to an indie. Who'd wanna be on a label that signed Mel C??
The industry sees a band like this as the next Franz Ferdinand, signs them up to plug them in that direction and expect to make a ton of cash. The UK music scene is so totally stale and retro and cynical, it's really depressing. Do I sound bitter?
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?no, you shound like a man who has worked out the music industry - its scary sometimes - but there is hope as Winston Smith said
I thnk the rakes are ok in parts but like most bands they wont be allowed to grown - bands rarely have a shelf life of two albums these days
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?sorry but my spelling is incredibly drunk today
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?Prole your band shares the name of that film, The Faculty. I love that film.
Re: Prole's Band?!?!?Prole my band played with yours in the Kentish Town Bull and Shit at some point. It says so in some age-old listings.

Sandown and Shanklin 19 Andover 39
Andover showed once again that they are in this league to stay last Saturday, by destroying Sandown and Shanklin on their own patch with a display of frightening efficiency.
The Oakwood sponsored 'All Blacks' gave away a string of early penalties to gift the host club a six nil lead, but once their forward power began to tell, the result was never in doubt.
Andover in truth never really hit their straps in this one after making the long journey, but such is their confidence these days that they stayed patient and simply dismantled the home defence brick by brick.
On a small narrow pitch it was difficult for Andover to bring their dangerous wide men to bear, so it was left to the pack to gradually turn the screw.
And turn the screw they did.
With ball in hand Andover looked superb with Tom Erskine, Billy Pollard, James Dawson and Simon Preece all carrying well, but it was in the tight that Andover took complete control.
Their dominant display at scrum and lineout, where Alex Morgan was superb, drew praise from even the Sandown faithful and when Marc Wilding finished a push over try the scene was set.
Andy Franklin's tactical astuteness kept Andover going forwards and soon Nic Reed added a second try powering over after a superb Alex Kane break.
Before the break another dominant scrum saw wing Elliott Copestake go over in the corner, but another silly penalty gifted Sandown three points to keep them in the hunt.
Just after the break Sandown came back to within three points with a further kick, but Charlie Waite replied in kind for Andover to ease nerves and Andover suddenly hit another gear.
After the umpteenth scrum penalty the referee finally lost patience with Sandown and awarded Andover a penalty try, much to the joy of front rows Carl Sievewright, Tom Waite and Alex Hibidge.
Charlie Waite converted, but soon brother Tom was sin binned and Sandown could have been forgiven for expecting some respite with Andover down to seven forwards and no hooker.
They could think again however, as Andover simply drove over for another push over try finished by Wilding and converted by Charlie Waite, to completely assert their dominance.
With Tom Waite back in the fray Andover poured forwards and went close several times, before one of the tries of the season put the icing on the cake.
Franklin fed Dave Catt in his own twenty two and the young winger broke free to make a fifty metre dash deep into the Sandown half.
Kane was at the breakdown in a flash and he fed Charlie Waite whose clever cross kick put Copestake away for a glorious try, which youngster Waite converted superbly from wide out.
Andover rang the changes and pushed for more, but in the last minute were caught with a sucker punch by Sandown and conceded a try with the final move of the game.
Afterwards Coach Andy Waite was very happy with the outcome.
"This was a real potential banana skin for us and is the first time for several years we have beaten Sandown and Shanklin."
"It wasn't pretty at times, but playing a determined and committed team on a small pitch was never likely to be.
We were very good tactically and showed we can play in several different ways when we have to and carry threats everywhere. Six tries to one away from home is an excellent effort" he said.
Next week Andover face old adversaries New Milton at home kick off 2.30.

Except there's something off with Kale. He wears her shoes in the shower, is overly fascinated with things like DVDs and vases, and acts like she'll turn to dust if he touches her. It's not until Dez's father shows up, wielding a gun and knowing more about Kale than he should, that Dez realizes there's more to this boy—and her father's "law firm"—than she realized.
Kale has been a prisoner of Denazen Corporation—an organization devoted to collecting "special" kids known as Sixes and using them as weapons—his entire life. And, oh yeah, his touch? It kills. The two team up with a group of rogue Sixes hellbent on taking down Denazen before they're caught and her father discovers the biggest secret of all. A secret Dez has spent her life keeping safe.
A secret Kale will kill to protect.
Rating: 4.5 of 5 stars
Series book: Yes
Will I read the next book: Yes
I'm just...at a lost for words. Trust me, that does not happen often. I enjoyed this book way more than I thought I would. Don't get me wrong, I knew I'd enjoy it, just not so much.
Thanks to the writing, the book was easy to read. On a scale of Lauren Kate to Jennifer L. Armentrout (Lauren Kate obviously being the lowest) I'd say Accardo falls a couple notches below Armentrout. It was smooth, easy to read, and generally enjoyable.

I don't know about you, but I haven't read many books about anyone with a killer touch. It was actually one of the reasons I almost didn't read this book. But I'm glad I did. The plot wasn't totally original, but it wasn't totally cliche either. Yeah, the deadly touch thing was new to me, but the whole deadly-corporation-that-uses-freaky-people-with-freaky-abilities thing has come up before. And that secret hinted at in the synopsis...really not that big of a shocker. But that's okay, there was enough originality to keep me satisfied.
When I started Touch, I almost instantly started to dislike Dez. It only lasted about a chapter, but i couldn't understand why she was so..whats the word? Oh yeah, bitchy. To put it nicely. But after reading a little bit, I started to like her. I liked her kick-ass sarcastic attitude. I guess I just just thought she was bitchy because I didn't understand why she wanted to piss her dad off so much. Then, when I saw how much of a dick he was, I was just like ohhh...I would wanna piss him off too. Basically, the characters were perfect. They all had 3D personalities. None of that if-you're-not-a-main-character-you-don't-get-personality stuff. Everyone had something different about them. And I enjoyed that change of pace from some recently dissapointing books character wise.
Kale was perfect. He was just so adorable not understanding anything, but at the same time totally swoon-worthy because he was so sweet in an innocent kind of way. Don't get me wrong, I love a good bad boy (or rather, a bad bad boy. Ha.) but his innocent good boy thing was amazing. He may be deadly, but he is totally adorable. Like a chipmunk with rabies. I guess that might not be that cute, but you get my point.
Favorite quotes
"As long as I know this" - he lifted our joined hands - "is mine to hold, I'll wait for you forever."
"As long as I know this" - he lifted our joined hands - "is mine to hold, I'll wait for you forever."
"All these places I want to go don't exist without you. All my goals come from one place. You. You are my biggest goal. That's not wrong, is it?"
"I wondered what the FML post would look like.
"Today, when my father tried to shoot me, I found out he was an assassin monger who's been keeping my mom locked away in a secret facility for freaky killers. FML."
Seriously. F.M.L."
"My jaw dropped. Forget balls, this guy had boulders."
SUMMARY OF REVIEW(In case you don't actually feel like reading the review):
Plot: 4 out of 5 Not totally original, but not totally cliche
Characters: 5 out of 5 All had personalities, not just some
Romance: 5 out of 5 Kale was so sweet and adorable and innocent!!!
Writing: 5 out of 5 Not s good as Armentrout, but close.
Overall Rating: 4.5 out of 5
Rated PG-14 drugs, sexual comments, and sex. Parental discretion is advised.

Feel free to sign the question or just leave it as anonymous. Just pop them in.
° What exactly is a 'professional resource' - does anyone have a suggestion? To me, a resource is a stimulus or object to assist learning in the classroom or a policy that informs leadership… so if I was going to choose an iPad app such as Explain Everything is this a resource? Or is it more along the lines of a scholarly paper that evaluates the worth of an online community such a Google+ for the flipped classroom?
If it is the latter, how are we then 'trialling' it?
Not sure if these are the type of questions you want on here Chris, but I would appreciate the help.
Apologies Candice for not picking this up. A professional resource is something you design/develop for colleagues, peers or higher ups. It could be, in its simplest from a briefing paper for your leadership group in a school, or perhaps for a department or a school council or even parents. Now I try and help folk engineer this task so as to best meet their professional needs, i.e. if someone is on a research trajectory as some students have been then the resource can be pitched at peers, perhaps apprentice researchers or even actual researchers as one student did. Most folk though usually build something that is designed for other teachers. One student built a resource for parents and teachers to support the use of iPads with disabled kids. Have a poke around the wiki. Students in the past have not been great at leaving a lot of info about there work but there is enough there. The trial is then something you do with an early version of your resource so you get feedback about it. I posted a wee note on the G+ site: design like you are right, listen like you're wrong. So if you had planned it as a resource say for teachers of grade 3 maths then finding some grade 3 teacheers who'd be prepared to look at it and give you feedback is all you'd need to do.
Actually the big question question was pitched at trying to help you frame your focus, i.e. what are the big questions you ask yourself about your work, agenda etc. And I can fully understand that this is a big question for you. Thank you.

A Life Lesson about Gratitude, Learned from my Dog!
with Leila Grandemange, the author of
Pawz and Pray, Short Reflections about God, Life, and the Dogs I Love!
"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend." ~ Melody Beattie

The time was 3:15 pm in the 1700 block of Columbia Road Northwest. It was the day before the Fourth of July. Passing by the old Ontario Theater (now an unoccupied space) I noticed a man selling things outside the front door. Things they call chatchkis, a used football, two soccer balls and some dolls. I thought, "Hmm, private enterprise at its very basic best, long live capitalism." I was on my way to pick up Daniela from the Horizons bus. On the day before the 4th, all the Horizons kids get red, white and blue hats. All those kids with patriotic hats, it's a great photo opportunity.
Walking from the bus stop with Daniela and me were a whole lot of the Bennett kids.
We stopped at the man's corner of the empty building to look closely at what he was selling.
When I took my camera out, the man selling the stuff did not like it and began speaking unkindly. "You can't stay here if I don't want you to," he said, "This is private property. I'm on private property. You can't take pictures here if I don't want you to. This is private property." The kids were all standing away from his stuff, just looking, not bothering him. I was photographing them with their cool hats on.
Turning to our annoyed ad hoc entrepreneur, I said, "Yes, it's private property, but it's not your private property."
He accused me of disrespecting him. I told him I was not disrespecting him, and then asked the kids, "Was I disrespecting him?" They said no. I asked, "If anyone is being disrespectful to anyone here, who's disrespecting whom?" Kia said, "He's disrespecting us."
When the man continued his rant, it sounded like barking. All of a sudden I heard real barking.
It was Juwan barking at the salesman as he was barking at us.
That gave us a rip-roaring laugh.
The poor fellow did not see the humor in Juwan's barking. He started to talk (bark?) about Mississippi, and how he was treated there but he said he's not going for it up here. He was standing up for his civil rights right there at the corner of Columbia and 17th.
The children were happy they got a good laugh without being disrespectful. As they were leaving the salesman complained one of them kicked his stuff. "Did you get a picture of that?" he asked. "Sorry," I told him. "I wasn't watching."
"I know who you are," he informed me. "I know who you are," he repeated. "I'm your commissioner," I told him. "I know who you are," he repeated again, as we left.
"Happy Fourth of July"

God's Fool - Great Christian Inspiration
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Paperback
God's Fool brings depth and color to one of the Church's most beloved Saints. Julien Green does so much more than just describe the events of Francis's life. He describes the daily life of his medieval family, friends and neighbors. This, in turn, really helped me feel just how much Francis was sacrificing by abandoning a future of knighthood, nobility and wealth. I could feel the anguish in his mother's heart, the anger of his father's fist and the confusion in his brother's mind. This illustration of one of the most remarkable spiritual journeys since the original apostles, can be contageous. The desire to run to the nearest Franciscan monastery is almost overwhelming, even for a traditional Protestant

It was my luck to find the "In Death" series while surfing my beloved Amazon. I purchased all eight books and started to "devour" them upon receiving. My! They are certainly delicious! The one thing that bothers me all the time is what should Eve and Roarke look like (Jamie Lee Curtis ? and ?) I love all the characters, good guys as well as the bad guys (they are bad for some understandable reasons). And don't worry, I trust Trueheart will have his re-appearance in next books just as Charles Monroe did. Look forward to the "Loyalty" and hopefully many many more to come.

This book was recommended to me by a friend. As I soon as I finished, I got Ridley's previous two novels. I couldn't get enough. More than just a great story, Ridley has a unique style of writing and a great wit. I feel very lucky to have "discovered" a new writer early in his career. The only bad thing is now I have to wait for his next novel. If it's half as good as this one, the wait will be well worth it!

I can't recommend this book more highly. Unlike the other related titles you list, this is goes way beyond the racial stereotype tearkerking genre to reach the stature of a major literary work. Stout writes beautifully and with depth and enormous compassion. This is an unsentimental and moving book, which I urge others to read and pass on to their friends.

The definitive guide for 1st time marathon training...
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Paperback
I loved this book! Everything, I mean everything, you ever wanted to know about running is here. I just ran the NYC Marathon on 11-4-01 thanks to the Coach Glover (author) training program, and I finished in 4:49. I went from clueless non-runner to marathoner using this book. Following this program, I went into the marathon confident that I would do well and I would even enjoy running the marathon. This, coming from someone who used to despise running. Regarding the book, I especially enjoyed Glover's breezy and humerous writing style. It's not just for marathoning, so buy it even if you are just looking to get some fitness advice. You will get off to the right start and learn to love running. I am now ready for Glover's book for competitive running

A New Terry McMillan Fan For Life
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Hardcover
A Day Late and A Dollar Short was my first McMillan read, and I must say that I was not disappointed! I could not put this book down. I even stayed up until 6 am to read the conclusion, which moved me to tears. I consider myself an avid reader, but I have NEVER cried while reading a book in my life. McMillan created characters who I really began to care about or even loathe. Each character was strongly developed. Definitely the best book I have read in a long time. I will be reading Ms. McMillan's previous novels now. Hopefully they are as good, or even better than this one.

A few novels moved me thus. Narrated by a child, the book moves in a slow, but sure pace through the life and times of 1930s Alabama town, the treacheries and hypocrisies of grown up world becoming evident to a child. The narrative "kills you softly", till tears sparkle in your eyes, for the novel is written in a very meaningful style, in a way where events, ideas and words touch your heart, stir you into thinking, and on the surface the author seems to be going around telling a very simple story, and that too in plain English, straightforward sentences. Recommended reading for everyone!

It is unfortunate that the original printing of this novel was not tremendously successful, despite some excellent reviews (most notably in Business Week, of all places). The characters are original (especially Wilbur), the story is well crafted, beautifully written, and full of humor, and the ending is perfect.No doubt someone (hopefully Covino himself) is penning a script for a film version.When are you going to write another one, Mike?

I highly recommend this book to anyone planning to redecorate. I wanted to colorwash my bedroom and looked at dozens of books that contained hopelessly complicated directions requiring obscure ingredients. This book is clear, readable, contains simple directions, and uses easy to obtain ingredients. I have no artistic ability and still got great results. My interior decorator is very impressed and is ordering her own copy of the book!

DE Ankou amongst the top performers at Penn State Nike Training Camp
Posted on Jun 25, 2011
"DT Eli Ankou (Ontario, Canada/St. Peter's)
A bit of a sleeper early on, Ankou's stock is rising on the recruiting trail and should continue to do so as this explosive defensive tackle from Canada attends more camps on this side of the border. He has good size, but not great for the interior/ Still, he has a leaner, well-built frame with the room to add another 20-pounds at the next level. He showed good quickness and burst off the ball and was able to beat blockers with a bull rush and an effective inside counter. Ankou has strong hands he can use violently and quickly but will need to continue polishing up his technique, adding the necessary bulk and becoming more consistent with his get-off."

Men are not suffering from the lack of good literature, good art, good theatre, good music, but from that which has made it impossible for these to become manifest. In short, they are suffering from the silent shameful conspiracy (the more shameful since it is unacknowledged) which has bound them together as enemies of art and artists.

I feel like I'm Catching a Cold.
Today I'm feeling under the weather, my husband has been sick for a week and I was doing everything in my power to not catch this bug that has been going around. I was trying to stay on top of taking my vitamins and antioxidants and staying hydrated, however today I just feel run down. I still have somewhat of an appetite and I really was craving VEGETABLES. I thought about making home made soup but I wasn't in the mood so I came up with this recipe.
When your sick you just want comfort food & veggies to me fits that bill.
The weather this week so far has been cloudy could be the reason why I feel like going back to bed, but I made it through the work day. I had bought some root vegetables and some butternut squash at the Fresh market last week & this recipe is a great way to use what is in your fridge or pantry .
(Somewhat organized)
My food pantry is always stocked with Quinoa, all sorts of whole grain & gluten free pastas as well as brown & basmati rice and Farro (type of wheat-popular in Italy) with this recipe below you can mix & match to any type of starch to your liking.
I always have some sort of stock on hand Organic vegetable, beef and/or free range chicken stock so you can always make it with your rice and Quinoa ( substitute for water) and to make soups.
When I eat healthy I know I'm going to feel better. One of the many reasons why I've chosen to make this for my dinner......
Not only is quinoa high in protein, but the protein it supplies is complete protein, meaning that it includes all nine essential amino acids. Quinoa is a very good source of manganese, a mineral that serve as a cofactor for the superoxide dismutase enzyme. Superoxide dismutase is an antioxidant that helps to protect the mitochondria from oxidative damage created during energy production as well as guard other cells, such as red blood cells, from injury caused by free radicals.
Bacterial and Viral Infections
Test tube and animal studies suggest turmeric may kill bacteria and viruses. But researchers don' t know whether it would work in people. Curcumin (what gives Tumeric the yellow color) is also a powerful antioxidant. Antioxidants scavenge molecules in the body known as free radicals, which damage cell membranes, tamper with DNA, and even cause cell death. Antioxidants can fight free radicals and may reduce or even help prevent some of the damage they cause.
Common Cold is a viral infection which affects our body frequently when our immune system goes weak. Again, the essential oils present in cumin act as disinfectants and help fight viral infections which cause common cold. Cumin also does not let cough formation in the respiratory system as it is supposed to be hot and dries up the excess mucus. Cumin is rich in iron and has considerable amount of vitamin-C, which are essential for a good immunity and keeps infections away.
It is a good source of iron and magnesium. Also rich in vitamins A,B and C also acts as an expectorant.

Glossary: Endodontics
Endodontics is a sub-specialty of dentistry, that deals with the tooth pulp or dentine complex. The most common procedure done in endodontics is root-canal therapy. The pulp (containing nerves, blood and lymph vessels) can become diseased or injured and thus is unable to repair itself. The pulp then dies and Endodontic treatment is required. Endodontic treatment is the removal of diseased pulp tissue. The body's defence system can then repair the damage created by disease. Usually, this will require 2-3 visits to your dentist. The dentist will use a local anaesthetic to make the procedure pain-free. A rubber dam isolates the tooth and provides a clean environment. An opening is made in the top of the tooth then the pulp chamber and root canals are cleaned and shaped for filling and sealing. Between visits, the opening is temporarily filled and removed during the next visit for the next step in the treatment. The tooth will need to be restored, usually by a new crown. If required, a support will be added. Dentists specializing in this field are called endodontists and complete an additional 2-3 years of training following dental school. In the image shown below, if the tooth is treated at stage #1 only a small filling will be required. If decay reaches stage #3, root canal therapy will be required. The aim of treatment is to remove infection (e.g. bacteria) from inside the tooth. If left, the infection would leak out of the tooth's root ends and make the surrounding bone ill and painful.

There is an organization in our community that we as a family became involved with about ten years ago.
Operation Gratitude is a non-political organization that sends care packages to the US Military around the world. The packages are filled with snacks, entertainment, hygiene and hand-made items, plus personal letters of appreciation. Their mission is to lift the spirits of Active Duty and Veteran personnel. Since it's beginning in 2003, Operation Gratitude volunteers have shipped more than one million care packages. Amazing!
Volunteer duties include assembling the care packages, writing encouraging letters to our soldiers, making paracord bracelets, donating funds to cover the mailing costs. One of the most rewarding experiences is reading the responses of military personnel who have received the packages and realizing the difference it makes to them.
As a family, it can be challenging to find opportunities to give back to our community that we can all participate in together. Operation Gratitude has been one of those opportunities that we can all find purpose in together and feel like we are making a difference. It also demonstrates that one person's idea that sprouted in a garage can grow into one million packages of love sent around the world to those who sacrifice for all of our well-being. What an amazing opportunity to show our gratitude.

Throughout the ages, since his appearance in the well, almost 700 years ago, we have been able to track Henry Game's unnatural influence and ability, through using the new digital media technologies such as the internet. Some people may be sceptical, Henry Game doesn't care. Some people may think these stories and accounts are totally fabricated, again, Henry doesn't care. And yes, Henry does often refer to himself in the third person. So confident of his ability to cover his tracks, Henry has nothing to worry about. You will never find a photograph of his face, nor any further condemning evidence of his existence. It is rumoured that he has no identifiable blood type and no finger prints. Some people have said he is as tall as a giraffe, and others say he is just of average height. However, these accounts should help you paint a clearer image in your mind as to who, or what Henry Game really is?
Alas! we have take off!! And it has come from the most un-likely of sources. This morning I received a letter. A hand written letter, addressed to me, Henry Game. Most interesting was it wasn't delivered through the letter box. It was left on the door step. Even more interesting was the person it was written from; Grim Catspaw. Whom I believed to have died during the 1st gulf war. Executed by the forces behind the tyrant of Iraq, it was a very dark time for Henry Game and some say this was the reason behind his mysterious disappearance? Funny it should arrive so soon after his re-appearance. However, Grim had failed to leave a corresponding address, and so I will have to communicate, with him, through these 'blogs', I hope you don't mind? In the interest of clarity I will copy the letter below for you to read;
Bloody Hell! I was under the impression you were 'laying low' as they say? Whoever they might be. I'm trying to think of when last we spoke. I think it was the night we shared a cigar and my hip flask, as Toxteth burned in 1981. You lit the cigar on that burning Black Maria if I remember rightly, you rogue. We've had some adventures over the years, you and I, have we not? Hi jinx and low places, our catch phrase if you remember my old friend? I have a little 'something' going on that may peak your interest if you care to take a look? There is no rush though. I am thoroughly enjoying your blog, that is what you call it is it not? I may even tell a tale or two of some of our adventures. You know I always enjoyed to express myself through the words on a page, and my ambition to record some of the daring escapades, for posterity's sake. It is good that you are back in the world again, it has been a little quiet without you.
It's only funny until someone gets hurt.
Your friend
My dear friend Grim,
Many moons have past since the last time we met, as you rightly remember, I did indeed light that cigar from the flames emanating off of that burning shell of a police van. They were interesting times. I was indeed saddened by the news of your demise. It seemed they had double crossed you. Maybe oil had slicked the slippery hand they dealt you? However, and much to my surprise here you still are. Though I do wonder, why have you not contacted me sooner? Is it the Iron-Mask still controlling you? I would have hoped that you had squirmed from under his hammer long, long ago. As you know I did. As I am reminded of everyday…still, the best decision I ever made. Prey tell of the wicked schemes you dare to share with me? You know I love an adventure! I am finding it difficult to express my true thoughts, as I am guarded due to the nature of these 'blogs' and the internet. Nothing is private. I suppose nothing ever was, not with you lurking, eh Catspaw! Ha, it is so good to hear from you. Maybe next time you feel like writing me a letter, you might knock on the door? I hope so. Hi jinx and low places!
Your friend
Henry Game
'The world has always belonged to darkness. For when the light has all but fled, it will be darkness that remains' Henry Game

June 28, 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court voted in favor of President Obama's health care law. However, CNN and Fox News reported the opposite. According to Poynter's currated article compiled that same day, CNN received more back lash than Fox News.
CNN sent out incorrect reports via the airwaves, website, email and Twitter. Nine minutes later, a correction was released. CNN's on-site reporter Kate Boldaun received the incorrect report from a producer in the courtroom.
Jeff Sonderman's Poynter article commented on other journalists' reaction to the false report. A CNN reporter said she was embarrassed and a lot of reporters from different news organizations corrected the original report.
A region editor at AP sent out an email telling reporters to "stop taunting" CNN when AP reported the ruling correctly the first time.

The New York State Independence Party Saturday dissolved the Erie County Independence Party unit headed by Mary Rose Gaughan, renewing a directive that all Erie County candidates vying for the Indy line must work with state IP leader Frank MacKay.
A disagreement was set in motion in October when Gaughan filed paperwork for an interim county organization (ICO). During a January appearance on WGRZ-TV's "2Sides," the Independence Party member identified herself as the Party's Erie County Chairman and claimed the right to authorize local candidates to run on the party line.
"That show was the last straw," a source close to the state Independence Party leadership told PoliticsNY. "The State Committee knew it had to act." A fundraiser Gaughan had planned also drew State Committee ire.
It was all over but the shouting Saturday when the Committee passed a resolution to "dissolve this illegal Interim County Organization for Erie County."
"The downstate members from Suffolk and Albany counties want to control Erie County endorsements. They think they know our candidates best, but they just don't," Gaughan said. "We're going ahead with our plans to endorse candidates and issue Wilson Pakulas."
According to Independence Party rules, members in counties without existing committees must first contact the state secretary to organize an ICO. The secretary, in this case William Bogardt, is obliged to respond within 48 hours and state leaders must address the matter.
Party sources said Gaughan did not follow this procedure. Therefore, according to state leaders, she never founded an ICO, she is not Erie County chairman, Ken Walsh will not serve as Secretary, and no money may be raised in the name of the Independence Party.
The Party took an additional step reasserting a 2006 procedure where state leaders take up all Erie County certificates of candidate authorization, nomination and substitution.
"The State Executive Committee will control Erie County authorizations for this and all foreseeable cycles," Tom Connolly, State Party vice chairman and executive director, told PoliticsNY.net.
For her part, Gaughan is adamant that she fulfilled her ICO paperwork responsibilities according to the rules. She provided PoliticsNY.net United States Postal Service receipts she claims are proof she delivered the ICO paperwork on time and that Bogardt himself signed for final documents in October.
State Executive Committee leaders also told PoliticsNY.net that a formal Removal Hearing is being scheduled to boot Gaughan from the Party's committee. Gaughan says that effort will fail since she is elected to her position.
Local pols say this weekend's actions show state IP leaders taking control back from Erie County Democrats who have long been rumored to be pulling Indy strings here behind the scenes.

When I showed Matt these, he busted out laughing. I thought it was really cute!
Some other news. I am currently treating an Oral Thresh (a yeast infection in my mouth). It's not been a fun week but it is slowly getting better. The doctor I saw just said to eat yogurt and if it didn't seem to help then he would prescribe me a mouth wash.
I spoke with Matt the other night and I have some good news. He has confirmed that he WILL be home before Christmas. I'm not going to say the date but if you want to know, just ask Nancy. I was able to tell her in "code" (for security reasons) the actual date. He has also decided that we won't be taking any leave time until we have the baby. He wants to be able to let me recover and to be able to bond with his new daughter. We are still not sure if we will be able to come home this spring or not but we will keep you up dated on that.
Not much else is new. Just trying to enjoy every day but it is starting to get a little more uncomfortable and harder to get off my couches. :) Her kicks are starting to get stronger but I have yet to actually feel her kick my hand. She is really active though. Kinda fun actually. I can't really describe how it feels. Bubbles comes to mind.
OH OH!! We've decided on a name. We will be naming her Sarah Mackenzi. Sarah is Hebrew for "Princess" and Mackenzi is Irish for "child of the wise leader". We are excited!!

The biggest long term musical influences for me have been: TajMahal, (Henry Fredericks) from his work in the early to mid 1970s. I was fortunate to see him live a few times. He is an extremely authentic, talented and rhythmic being. JJ Cale, For his authentic self and his ability to fuse jazz, pop and country seamlessly. Lucinda Williams, For her authentic influence and her great simple songwriting examples and skill. My biggest musical achievement has been the ability to lose myself to near nirvana through my enjoyment of creating music. As a young child I loved music. I started taking music and guitar lessons at age 7 as a way to lose myself in something I really enjoyed. After the lounge touring band I was in broke up, (I was 16 then, that was about 40 years ago) I gave up playing almost completely. I felt a need to pick it up again about 5 years ago. Now the biggest kick I get is writing a song, developing it, playing all the parts myself with multiple instruments, recording, editing and finally publishing to share with others. Someone said, "It's not the destination, but the journey". That's exactly how I feel about my involvement with music.The biggest long term musical influences for me have been: TajMahal, (Henry Fredericks) from his work in the early to mid 1970s.

Kilsyth Community Food Bank has been handed a perfectly-timed Christmas present with the promise of long term support from a local business.
The charity, based in Kilsyth's Parkfoot Street, has replaced its ol d doors with modern PVC-U windows and doors from Cumbernauld firm CMS.
And now the company has committed to becoming the charity's official partner.
Lesley Murray from Kilsyth Community Food Bank said: "The doors and windows supplied by CMS to Kilsyth Community Food Bank have made an incredible difference to our premises.
"Prior to CMS' donation we actually had no external doors and no window. We only had wooden garage doors.
"The donation has totally changed the look of our building, giving it a new lease of life - the building has gone from being cold, draughty and damp to being cosy and warm.
"We rely 100 per cent on donations to provide our vital service in the local community and we could never have raised the finances to purchase the doors and window.
"We can't thank CMS enough for their generosity and are pleased they have agreed to be our official partner, pledging long term support."

Endoscopic Frontal LiftingWritten by:
Why can a frontal lift be needed?
The main reason for demanding an endoscopic frontal facelift is the descent of the original position of the soft tissues of our body that occurs as we age. This is due to the action of gravity and the morphological changes caused by age, sun exposure, stress, etc.. One of the regions with the greatest impact on facial aging is the upper third of the face (brow and brow) both for its meaning of facial expression and for what represents a good position of the eyebrows as a sign of youth.
What is the endoscopic frontal facelift?
The endoscopic frontal facelift is performed by two small incisions at the level of the scalp and, through endoscopic procedure, the dissection of the frontal region to the tail of the eyebrow is performed, controlling and respecting the supraorbital and supratrochlear vessels and nerves.
Differences between the endoscopic frontal facelift and the traditional
For the treatment of frontal wrinkles and frown lines, eyebrow elevation and forehead lift, the classic frontal lift procedure uses the bicoronal incision, normally located within the scalp and extending from ear to ear.
The endoscopic frontal facelift allows obtaining good aesthetic results, avoiding possible complications derived from the classic frontal facelift, such as the large coronal scar and scarring alopecia in the area.
If the deformity is not very pronounced, we could also treat this entire region through the incision of the upper blepharoplasty (incision located in the upper eyelid).
Front suspension method - ENDOTINE®
During the endoscopic frontal facelift, to maintain skin traction without scalp resection, we use a tension or tension system called ENDOTINE® that achieves the elevation of the outer third of the eyebrow (eyebrow tail) and skin stretch in the frontal region, achieving a more youthful look (rejuvenation of the look).
It is a resorbable device (therefore there will be no need to remove it in a 2nd surgical procedure) for the fixation of soft tissues in frontal lifting surgery. With Endotine®, it is not necessary to use sutures to fix the tissues, thus preventing their dehiscence and preventing tissue strangulation.

Dane and Aidan had a "Thanksgiving Feast" this past Thursday at their preschool. Aidan's class (FOURTEEN 2 and 3 year olds...please pray for his teachers) made turkey hats and special place mats and learned an interesting Thanksgiving song, complete with motions, sung to the tune of "I'm a Little Teapot". It goes something like this:I'm a little turkey
Short and round
Here are my tail feathers (this is where he turned around and made "tail feathers", but I don't have a picture of that)
Here are my tail feathers (this is where he turned around and made "tail feathers", but I don't have a picture of that)
I'll be a turkey dinner for you!
All sung with big smiles and lots of gusto. They wrapped up the feast with a lunch consisting of turkey sandwiches, fruit, pretzels, and juice boxes. Just like what the Pilgrims ate.
Dane's class also had a special lunch planned. First, he got to lead his class in The Lord's Prayer.
Then, he made a lunchmeat face, and proceeded to model the lunchmeat face on top of his own face. So he probably smelled suspiciously of Oscar Meyer turkey for the rest of the day.
He definitely noticed that we had our camera with us...please note "Dane Eating Sandwich, Pose #1":
And "Dane With Sandwich, Pose #2":
He didn't have a mildly inappropriate turkey song to sing, so I had to resort to taking pictures of him eating.
I hope everyone has a great week! I should be posting a few more pictures from my sister's wedding and also our "Thanksgiving story" that our pastor read in service today.

Hey Jacob. Really tempted with WAC since it's quite a bit much less expensive than Post Builder, but your link goes straight for the buying cart. So I used to be pondering, could it be discounted? And would that be The essential or premium version?
RankWyz gives extra Handle in excess of your links as you Create links yourself network of websites. Link Emperor is powerful but obtaining the Completely wrong links can usually get you in hassle. I've heard a lot about GSA at the same time, but haven't used Top Demon.

Perhaps there's no answer to this but I'd love your opinions:
I live in a very expensive town with high RE taxes. A very basic 3 bedroom house in this area fetches at least $400k minimum. (And would have a yearly real estate taxes of approximately $6,500 to $7,500 each year.)
I plan to live here for at least 5.5 years (kiddo is in 7th grade).
Just got my first near-6 figure job in August.
Many people are telling me to buy because it builds equity. However, if I buy something that costs 1.5 times as much as an equivalent house relatively nearby, aren't I just accruing a huge amount of added debt at a rate I don't need to be as compared to if I keep renting for the next 5.5 years?
Comparison; current rent is very low $1375, mortgage for a $400k home is about $2500/month including taxes.
So is it really worth buying? Is renting more economical because the total I save each month can be better invested, or does "equity" on a mortgage trump that philosophy?
Plugging in some of the info that you provided, the Buy vs Rent calculator that I frequent suggests that you would be better off renting, rather than owns. Well, at least based on the information that you provided. It looks like, based on staying in your house for 6 years, the break-even point is around $1650. That is, if you can rent a place for less than that, you would be better off renting instead of buying. You mentioned that you could rent a comparable house for about $300 less than that. That's about 18% less each month.
If you were will to stay in the house longer, it looks like your break-even duration point is about 13 years — that's more than twice the amount of time that you had indicated that you expect to stay in the house. If you think you will stay in the house longer than 13 years, you'd be better off buying. Don't immediately assume that you will move in six years. You may end up staying where you are for many more year or many fewer years. I just heard from a neighbor who expected to stay in her house for 5 to 10 years, but her landlord just told her that she needs to move at the end of the month. At the other end of the spectrum, I expected to stay here where I am for two years and I've been here for more than two decades, so this is a hard variable to truly forecast.
There are many buy vs. rent calculators on the internet. Several are more simplistic; easier to use than this one, but I think this one offers a reasonable level of detail making the analysis more useful. You could enter all the info yourself for a more comprehensive analysis: http://www.nytimes.com/…/upshot/buy-rent-calculator.html

The passing decades have failed to diminish the popularity and recorded work of three of rock's biggest icons.
The passing decades have failed to diminish the popularity and recorded work of three of rock's biggest icons.
New DVD releases of The Rolling Stones, Black Sabbath and Jimi Hendrix will make much more than stocking stuffers for anyone wishing to celebrate the legacies of these unique talents. "The Rolling Stones — Sweet Summer Sun: Hyde Park Live," "Black Sabbath — Live … Gathered in Their Masses" and "Jimi Hendrix — Hear My Train A Comin'" each hit inches away from the bull's-eye, capturing much of the essence of these important acts.
Hyde Park Calling
The Rolling Stones are continuing their short-but-successful 50th-anniversary tour, and Black Sabbath is embarking on the second leg of its 2013-14 World Tour. Despite ignoring the central region of the United States, the tours have been cited by critics and fans as artistic, near-peerless triumphs. "Sweet Summer Sun" shows the Stones to be in impressive shape, with Mick Jagger's past, baritone concert voice giving way to a more natural, higher register on the set-opening "Start Me Up."
The graying, pirate-like Keith Richards, who is smiling much more than he ever did in any previous Stones concert film, continues to serve as the band's co-anchor with underrated drummer Charlie Watts. Richards' guitar style rotates from gentle strokes to barking, earthy string-slashing, while Ron Wood's six-string abilities serve as the always dependable counterpoint.
Guitarist Mick Taylor, who replaced original Stone Brian Jones in 1969 before leaving under hushed circumstances in 1974, acts as special guest on the bumping and grinding "Midnight Rambler" and a snappy encore take of "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction." Wood, always the team player, beams while he, Taylor and Richards weave their guitar parts together, while longtime bassist Darryl Jones works his four-string wonder on "Doom and Gloom," "Emotional Rescue" and "It's Only Rock and Roll."
Sabbath Stays Heavy, Impressive
Like Richards, Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi acts as the sonic and visual heart on "Live … Gathered in Their Masses," meshing brilliantly with Geezer Butler's active, inventive bass lines. The DVD comes with two big surprises that will shock fans before pleasing them. First, singer Ozzy Osbourne does the exact same thing on the DVD as he did during his 2011 concert in Tulsa — he refuses to use a lyrics teleprompter as a crutch. Only a few times can rock's self-proclaimed Prince of Darkness be seen relying on a hidden source to remember lyrics.
Although the DVD lacks original Sabbath drummer Bill Ward's presence, Osbourne's solo-band drummer, Tommy Clufetos, steps up to the plate as a champ. Yes, it would been great and fitting to have Ward on the drum set, but Ward's pre-tour spat with Sabbath over a "signable contract" sadly prevented an original-lineup reunion on the tour and on Sabbath's recent "13" album.
Regardless, a headband-wearing Clufetos rises to the high-volume occasion on "Live … Gathered in Their Masses." Ironically resembling Ward circa 1976, Clufetos adds just enough of his style without performing sacrilege on Ward's original, jazz-meets-heavy-metal drum patterns.
Hendrix's Experience
Jimi Hendrix fans will be rejoicing past Christmas with the release of "Hear My Train A Comin'" DVD, which includes a feature-length documentary and previously unreleased concert footage. The spectacular, on-stage performances are taken from Hendrix's gigs at the Miami Pop Festival in 1968, the New York Pop Festival in 1970 and the Love & Peace Festival in 1970.
The documentary itself is solid. Bassist Billy Cox, Hendrix's old Army buddy who ended up playing with Hendrix at Woodstock and in the funky Band of Gypsys, reminisces about his friendship with the artist who many claim to still be rock's greatest guitarist. As Cox talks, an unintentionally sobering moment occurs. With Hendrix, bassist Noel Redding and drummers Mitch Mitchell and Buddy Miles now dead, Cox is the sole surviving musician from Hendrix's bands.

Another day another nail polish review from my side but what can I do?
I just love nail polish in general & if I had the money I would have the entire nail color collection at my home and just paint off my nail all the time.
Oh well ...let start with this Nail Polish Review .
Today nail polish is from a brand Genny-High Fashion Cosmetics, I never heard about this brand from any other beauty gurus so why not mention something that is worthy of a notice in my opinion :)
I bought this nail polish while I was on my hunt for the perfect baby pink/pastel color polish which i found actually & you want you can check out my review on that nail polish right here :
But while I was looking around here and there this glittery fabulous nail color caught my eye.
I got Genny Nail Polish in the color 510, the nail polish consist of maroon/red,silver glitter in it -which are all of my favorite.
The opacity of this nail polish is cray cray you guy....you just need 1 coat of this and BAM there you have it million of shinning stars on your nails.
The below picture to be honest doesn't even do justice to the shine and sparkle this nail polish provides.
Its remarkable,I feel like a fairy dust when I have this on my toes and fingers so so pretty to look at. A total attention grabber to be honest.
|With the sunlight beaming on my nails
The time Genny-High Fashion Cosmetics Nail Polish takes to dry is 10 min to the max that is and after that its all set.
The Lasting day -goes to 3 day but if you want to stretch it it can go up to 5 days.
|In the daylight
The good thing about the Genny Nail Polish is that the removal process of this polish is quite fast ,compare to other glitter nail polish that I have tried.
You don't need to scrub away your nails for hours to remove the polish, as we all glitter polish lover knows how much of a hassle it takes to get the glitter off your nails.
And that is about it you guys for this polish.......
Now the question is ...
Would I Recommend Genny-High Fashion Cosmetics Nail Polish to anyone ??? Hell double triple YES...
I truly love this nail polish and am so very interested to try out different colors from this brand also try other products from them too.
You tell me have you tried or ever heard of this brand ?
Or is it new to too as it was for me?
Let me know in the comment below , you know I read them and also respond....
If you like these kind of reviews on different product ,let me know so that i know i am on the right track you guys...
Till then
Share. Follow. Comment
and I'll see you all
21.June.2013 yep setting myself for another date....hehehe...this make me remember when i have to post my next blog post
Trying to be consistence you see...;)

Perhaps, Maybe
Girdwood Chapel Sermon, October 16, 2016
"Perhaps, Maybe"
Esther (All)
Esther 4: 10-14
Ephesians 4: 29-32
Romans 13: 1
<<Meditative Moment>>
A few weeks ago I had to travel to Indianapolis for my work with the VA. It was not a trip I was looking forward to. Not because of the purpose, but because the flights were going to be long and the time in Indianapolis short. I knew it was going to be a tiring trip and most of it would be spent in travel. So, I told myself I was going to read while on the planes and in the airport. I went to the library and checked out three books. My intent was to read one on the way, one there, and then one on the way home. You should be happy to know that one of them was the Poems of Robert Service...see, I am trying to become a sourdough! Anyway, I packed up my three books and started out for the airport at 3:00 AM, the morning of my flight. I took my seat and placed one of my books and my Bible in my lap. I smiled at the woman in the seat next to me and had just opened my book when the lady next to me tapped me on the arm. "I see that is your Bible there." "Yes, ma'am," I responded, "I would not dream of going anywhere without it." "What type of work do you do?" she asked. Now, I had a choice here. I could say that I worked for the Veterans Affairs office, which would not be a lie (and would likely allow me to read my book), or I could tell her that I was a pastor, which could start lines of conversations in various ways...some of which could have made for a very long flight. Against my better judgment, I chose the latter option. As I said the words, her eyes filled with tears. She said, "I am trying to get to the hospital to be with my siblings as we take my Mom off of life support. Everything is failing and I am not sure I am going to make it in time." Over the next several hours we talked about family, about growing older, and about finding God in difficult situations. Occasionally she would break into tears and we would pray together, simply for God's will to be merciful and clear. I, however, did not get one page of my book read.
Esther's Place
I have said before that Esther can be viewed as a Disney Princess. She is beautiful and is a reluctant heroine, thus fulfilling all of the requirements. In fact, some consider the story to be more fairytale than canon when it comes to the Hebrew Bible. Did you know in its original form, God is not even mentioned in the book of Esther? It is the only book of the Bible that this is the case. A closer examination of the story, however, reveals that God's fingerprints are all over the narrative and that God is once again at work protecting His people.
Our youth began an exploration of this story last week and were rudely interrupted by a rambunctious bunch of canines and one havoc raising hamster. So, they are well familiar with the way in which Esther came to be in the palace. Queen Vashti chooses to not be the center of male entertainment at a party held by her husband King Ahasuerus, and as a result of her disobedience, is banished from the Kingdom. The search begins for a new Queen and only one condition is required, she must be beautiful. Esther lives with her uncle Mordecai in Susa, and they are Jewish. Because of her beauty she is taken to participate in a beauty pageant for the King. The King chooses her to be his new queen and takes her into the palace.
So, up to this point, all we know about Esther is that she is Jewish, beautiful, and loves her uncle very much. We also know that her Uncle, Mordecai, loves her very much as well, for he waits at the palace gates every day to hear messages of her well being. Like many stories, this story has a villain. His name is Haman. Haman is a power hungry executive to the King. He wants nothing but power and to be revered. Honestly, he is successful in this quest save for one little hiccup. That is Mordecai. Haman has risen to be second in command below only the King. An order has been signed into law that all people shall bow to Haman as he passes. Yet, as he passes through the palace gates every day, Mordecai is there and he does not bow. He bows only to the God of Israel and will not bow to this earthly authority. Haman's disdain for Mordecai grows into hatred, which grows into vengeance, not just against Mordecai but all of his people.
As this is happening, Mordecai does something very significant. He uncovers a plot to assassinate the King. He is able to to get word to the King about this plot and successfully saves his life. Therefore, the King holds Mordecai in high regard while Haman is searching for a way to destroy Mordecai. All of this while Esther simply sits in the palace.
Like one might expect, this story comes to a head when the King's feelings for Mordecai are revealed to Haman. Haman, thinking that the King is speaking about him when asking for ways to show someone how much the King honors them, suggests to the King that the person should be put on the finest horse and adorned with royal robes and paraded through the streets of the Kingdom as it is announce that the King has favor for the person. The King loves the idea and has Haman accomplish this for Mordecai. The hatred that Haman had for Mordecai is amplified as a result and the plan to wipe out the entire Jewish population is set into motion, including a special stake for Mordecai's death. Esther continues to sit in the palace.
Soon enough, the order is given that the population of Jewish people are to be put to death for their insubordination to the law to bow to Haman. A specific date is assigned and all the Jewish people can do is wait for the time to arrive. Mordecai sends word to Esther that she must act. She, however, states that she cannot act because she will die before she even has the chance to bring it up with the King, for he has not sought her to be in his audience in over 30 days. If she were to approach him without his calling her, than she would be put to death for violating the law. She says no to Mordecai. Mordecai responds with the words of our reading today, "Don't think for one moment that, unlike all the other Jews, you will come out of this alive simply because you are in the palace. In fact, if you don't speak up at this very important time, relief and rescue will appear for the Jews from another place, but you and your family will die. But who knows? Maybe it was for a moment like this that you came to be part of the royal family."
In response, Esther acts. Facing death she paces outside the throne room until she is called in by the King. Through a series of events she turns the tables on Haman and as the story ends, we find Haman atop the stake fashioned for Mordecai and the Jews defeating all those who dared attack them on the designated day of the law. It is said, the following day many people in the Kingdom converted to Judaism.
We Lay in Waiting
Esther's life was spent in waiting. From the story we just explored, we know that she was raised in the Jewish tradition and then selected to be in the palace as one of the King's wives for her beauty. We were not told of any significant backstory or were we given any surprising information about her. She was, seemingly, in her position as a matter of happenstance or coincidence. We are allowed to think this until her uncle places the important question in her ear, "What if this is what you were meant to do?" From what we know about her, this had to change everything. All of a sudden her life has a specific purpose and her actions and inactions have results and consequences. It is not okay for her to simply sit on the sidelines and be distant from the world around her. She has to respond with every fiber of her being. What if this is what she was born to do!?
Ironically, the motivating statement that Mordecai delivers to Esther, it has a bit of a let down in it. He tells her that just because she may use her free will to decline what could be her destiny, it does not mean that salvation will not occur from another source. The idea here is that God may have put Esther in the palace to achieve the salvation of the Jewish people from this persecution, but just because she says no, does not mean that his sovereignty is forfeited. They will be saved in some way, some shape, some form. It will just not include her.
Mordecai has basically told her, "Look it is coming from somewhere. Wouldn't it be awesome if it came from you!"
A Moment about Power Play
There is also a subplot going on here. It is a moral lesson about power, that we don't often associate with the book of Esther. It is important to realize that Haman has been given all of the power he could possibly obtain. Even if he were to wipe out all of the Jewish people, his power would not increase in any way. Just because Mordecai does not bow, does not mean that he does not listen and obey and defer to Haman's laws on all other matters. Haman's quest for power has moved into glory. He wants to be equal with God. He wants to be revered, praised, feared, and glorified. His issue with Mordecai is about his pride and his perception of who he is and who he should be viewed as. It is not consistent with the power that he wields.
Instead of focusing on those things which can be done to build the Kingdom up around the King he uses his power to tear down Mordecai and the Jewish people. He causes fear and uprising in the Kingdom, pitting person against person and causing unrest against the King. In an effort to build up his self, he demolishes others, and comes close to destroying a Kingdom. For one never knows, how God's sovereignty will be displayed.
Bringing it All Together
I sat on a plane wanting nothing more to do than read a book. The lady who sat beside me sat on a plane wanting nothing more to do than to talk with someone about the ordeal she was going through and the tough moments that lay ahead for her and her family. She saw my Bible, the catalyst, of the conversation. But, God gave me a choice; you can read or you can engage. Which is it going to be? I am going to help her no matter what, but wouldn't it be great if it was through you?
Was that my life's moment? No, I don't think so, because that seems to happen to me quite a bit. But, I believe it is practice in saying yes to God. It is practice in taking what we know to be true about the grace, glory, and salvation of God and applying to the world in which we live. It is learning to engage and taking off the training wheels. It is a small way of allowing the selfishness of doing only what we want to do fall to the wayside, so we can do what God wants us to do. It is stepping off the sidelines and engaging in the world around us. It is pacing in front of the throne room waiting for the scepter to be extended. For when we accomplish that one time, we will see opportunity after opportunity.
As Christians, our goal in life is to build the Kingdom around us and to extol the Good News of Christ's salvation. The message we deliver to one another should only be to build one another up in the identity of Christ. We should never treat anyone any lesser for any reason. We should never ignore an opportunity to share the love of Christ, because all of us have been given the sovereign right by God to share God's love with each other. So, perhaps...maybe, I was not the one showing Christ's love on the plane that day. It was the lady who sat next to me and convinced me to set aside my book to spend time with her.
