This Internet Banking System brings together a combination of industry-approved security technologies to protect data for the bank and for you, our customer. It features password-controlled system entry, a VeriSign-issued Digital ID for the bank's server, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol for data encryption, and a router loaded with a firewall to regulate the inflow and outflow of server traffic.
To begin a session with the bank's server the user must key in a Log-in ID and a password. Our system, the Internet Banking System, uses a "3 strikes and you're out" lock-out mechanism to deter users from repeated login attempts. After three unsuccessful login attempts, the system locks the user out, requiring either a designated wait period or a phone call to the bank to verify the password before re-entry into the system. Upon successful login, the Digital ID from VeriSign, the experts in digital identification certificates, authenticates the user's identity and establishes a secure session with that visitor.
Once the server session is established, the user and the server are in a secured environment. Because the server has been certified as a 128-bit secure server by VeriSign, data traveling between the user and the server is encrypted with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. With SSL, data that travels between the bank and customer is encrypted and can only be decrypted with the public and private key pair. In short, the bank's server issues a public key to the end user's browser and creates a temporary private key. These two keys are the only combination possible for that session. When the session is complete, the keys expire and the whole process starts over when a new end user makes a server session.
Requests must filter through a router and firewall before they are permitted to reach the server. A router, a piece of hardware, works in conjunction with the firewall, a piece of software, to block and direct traffic coming to the server. The configuration begins by disallowing ALL traffic and then opens holes only when necessary to process acceptable data requests, such as retrieving web pages or sending customer requests to the bank.
Using the above technologies, your Internet banking transactions are secure.

Wow. You're not going to believe this. I just did something really, really crazy. I'm still in shock.

Son Joshua texted that he needed a ride home from school, so I grabbed my keys and went to get him. As I was getting into the car, I came to the shocking realization that I had forgotten my phone.

My phone. My cell phone.

I looked back toward the house, and started to go back and get it when it happened: A strange feeling swept over me like a cold gust of wind on a blistery open sea, a feeling of total abandon. Suddenly I was the rebel, the non-conformist, the loose cannon. In an instant I became the wanderer craving wild adventure, the nomad in search of new lands, the pioneer facing the dusty trail to the uncertain west, the entrepreneur sweating and climbing to create his new industry, the bloodthirsty mercenary risking life and limb for the rebel cause. Yeah, I was that guy.

I lifted my head in defiance, grabbed the handle and yes... I got into the car without the phone. I fired up the engine, slid the shifter into gear, and drove away. What a feeling! I was disconnected... isolated... secluded. The solitary point of resistance against the forces of the world, facing the unknown with steel resolve... a fire in my heart... a silent voice that shouted, "I will survive!" to all creation. The sheer exhilaration was overwhelming!

And so I drove... the entire two and a half miles to the school... just man and machine against the elements. Unsure of how this might go or what outcome I may face, I pressed on until finally, at long last, I arrived to see Josh ready to board. Of course, at this point the adventure fizzled... he had his phone in hand so we once again were among the living, that safety net back in place, protected against all harm.

I know it was a terrible decision to make, a crazy thing to do, and I hope any young people who read this will see how foolish my decision was and not try to do this themselves. It's really not worth the risk. But I must admit, it was an experience I will never forget.

Whew. I am so exhausted from it all now. Must rest, and thank God for watching over me. Bless you all.

Sigh... Does anyone remember the good old days? You know, a few years back when life in America was simpler... kinder... less complicated? We all worked hard. We talked to each other. People could firm up a deal with a handshake.

And guns were nicer.

They really were. Guns were our friends, our playmates, part of our families. We could trust them, and they would serve us well. We could keep them openly in our house, and they never caused us any harm.

Those really were the 'good old days'.

Nowadays, so much has changed. People aren't friendly anymore. They don't trust or care for each other. We have more locks and alarms, and security cameras.

And guns have gone bad.

I don't know why, but it's true. You can't trust them any more. Guns used to be faithful friends, good for hunting or self defense. Target shooting. Fireworks and celebrations. Now, it seems they have gone astray. We hear about bad guns murdering people. They hang out in gangs, drive through urban neighborhoods and shoot innocent bystanders. Sometimes we even see one that has gone completely out of its chamber, shooting masses of people.

Where did we go wrong? We didn't raise our guns to act this way!

Our guns have left the once-familiar realms of decency and respect, and now treat people with contempt. They are aggressive, unfair and abusive. They show no concern or regard for human life. They no longer stand proud and tall, defending the American way of life. Now they lurk in dark corners, hiding from mankind like a sneaky enemy. The change is marked and alarming, and disturbing on many levels.

Who can say when the change took place, or why. It's so sad to see a simple rifle turn from a boy's first rabbit gun to a murderer, all within one generation. Even the little .22 semi-automatic I hunted with for years as a child - with never a problem - is now being called an 'assault rifle'. I still can't believe it! I loved that gun. It was my friend and we spent many an early morning or lazy afternoon wandering the woods and fields in search of a furry target... I treated it like family! Why would it turn against me now? Why?

So many others, like myself, are asking these hard questions.

Some people believe that guns are bad because of war... but most guns I have known have never been in combat. They simply couldn't be affected by that environment - they were never there. They've never left the farm or home. How did this happen, and what can we do to fix it?

It seems there are no easy answers when guns go bad.

Some might suggest gun counseling. Programs where reprobate weapons could come and attend - no questions asked - and receive the help they need. Maybe, just maybe, if we could reach out to them in the name of decency and Godly morals, we could convert them back. Maybe we could convince them that they aren't really bad, they've simply fallen into the wrong crowd. For most guns, it's the company they keep that has caused them to stray. Think about it, have you ever seen a gun perform a criminal act without an actual criminal present? I think not. If you research it yourself, you'll begin to see a pattern here. Criminals corrupt guns!

We must reach out to our bullet-laden friends before it's too late.

Will you take some time today to consider how you might help? Let's not turn our backs on these once-prized patriots of freedom. We need to rally around our lost guns, showing them the love and caring they need and deserve. Rescue the firearms! It's a call we all can herald - let's save the guns!

Save the firearms - before it's too late.

Let's show compassion and carry the torch for our lost guns. We can restore them, retrain them, rehabilitate them. Bring them back into the fold.

Just remember: Next time it could be your son instead.

First, how many have new year resolutions still hanging on? The average lifespan of most resolutions I ever made was about 30 days... pretty much the same as my attempts to raise houseplants. They both dried up and died in about the same amount of time. I learned long ago to just save the suffering and not even try.

So, resolutions aside, what about the new year... how are things going in general? I see a lot of people posting about trying to find jobs and homes in this struggling economy, as things are still tough for sure. Lots of people are sick, and bouncing between conventional medicine with its uncertainties and other more natural or faith-based methods, unsure about the best way to go. Fighting stress and pressure in this demanding life we live is a killer... relaxing is hard work.

So where do we turn?

Here's an idea:

Every year in our ministry, we prayerfully determine a 'theme' for the new year, based on scripture. Here is our theme for 2013:

"Things Unseen... In Twenty Thirteen"

And the key verse for this year:

"No eye has seen,

no ear has heard,

no mind has conceived

what God has prepared

for those who love him -

but God has revealed<sup class="crossreference" value="(Q)"> it

to us by his Spirit.

 1 Cor 2:9-10

The message here is that we need something more this year... more than humanly possible. Most of us either need a special touch from God right now, or we will before the year is out. Something special. Something different. Something powerful. Something unheard of, unseen and unexpected.

Anyone here down with this?

Take a look at how that verse starts.

No eye has seen. No ear has heard. No mind has conceived. I like these verses, there is something supernatural about them. They offer hope and light in a world of deepest darkness.

There are so many unknowns in our earthly walk. The future can be exciting yet intimidating - we just don't know what is ahead. Even if we could see into the coming days we would probably hesitate, for fear of what might be on the horizon. In a world full of tragedy we pray daily for protection, provision and deliverance.

This passage offers more than hope - it gives us a concrete promise from God: He has already prepared everything we need for life and godliness. He has already seen our future, and has laid before us life and death, blessings and curses, all for our choosing. His perfect will and prepared path are there, if we will seek and choose them.

So how do we discover these preordained blessings? The key is in this part of the verse: but God has revealed<sup class="crossreference" value="(Q)"> it to us by his Spirit. The unknown becomes known, the mysteries are revealed, the unseen becomes seen. God reveals everything by his Spirit.

The secret to spiritual success lies in our choices: We can choose life or death, abundant blessings or the curse of sin. Many believers never discover the full life God has prepared because they do not seek him daily and listen to the Holy Spirit. God is the all-powerful, miracle-working supernatural creator of all heaven and earth. And we have this powerful anointing from God, in the Holy Spirit he has sent, to lead us and teach us as recorded in John. The future is open to anything we choose - it's up to us!

So the question is... as we move on into the year 2013, do we want to see a change, or stay in the same struggles, trials and challenges? I've made up my mind, I want something better. I want to turn loose the power of God and seek His Will. Open the floodgates of heaven and get in the Holy Spirit. Be led, taught, directed and blessed. We can decide right now to follow him and see the unseen in 2013.

Look out 2013... we're coming on through!

Who's with me?

It was an odd year... an unusual year... a different kind of year. Some good things happened, but I don't think I'd like to do it again. Much like eating native cuisine from India, it was interesting - but once is enough. So to sum it up, here's my review of the last year...

Things I learned in 2012:

• The end of the world was more painless than I expected.

For all the hype, it sure was a disappointment. You'd think the end of the world would at least tease us a little, even if it's a fake. You know, throw us something unexpected. Multicolored meteor showers. A volcano erupting in the middle of Lake Michigan. Or even a Kansas City Chiefs playoffs win. Just anything bizarre and unusual. But no... nothing. I think somewhere I hear a Mayan laughing. Their civilization didn't really disappear, you know. They just made it look like it did, and are living among us today. Having just perpetrated the biggest practical joke of all time, they're now holding secret meetings to share the laughs among themselves. It's their version of reality TV, just on a bigger scale. Well played, Mayans. Watch out for those Hollywood offers.

• The election.

That's about all that needs said about that. Politics seem to have sunk to new sub-aromatic lows in recent years, and as an American patriot I am becoming more deeply concerned all the time. Without taking sides or getting too detailed about it, I would sum it up with this: Are these really the best candidates we can muster these days? Both sides have produced less-than-stellar, propped-up versions of a 'leader' for our still-great country. I don't think I'm alone in saying I wouldn't vote for either one of these guys to sit on my local school board, much less to take the helm of this powerful republic. Can't we raise up from somewhere a powerful, genuine, God-fearing American champion with the sense and wisdom to renew our cause? Someone who can lead us back from the smoldering, tangled remains of our late night insanity to the glorious sunlight of freedom where we once soared? Purple mountain's majesties, pilgrim's pride, amber waves of grain, God blessed and powerful, land of the free and home of the brave... does anyone else miss that place? I sure do. ...Sigh....

• Tattoos and piercings.

Oh my goodness, I never thought things would go this far. Let me put this in perspective for you: When I was a teen in the late sixties and early seventies, there was some really bizarre stuff happening. We were growing out our hair and beards... wearing beads, sandals, multi-colored striped bell bottoms... and tie-died everything. We had leather headbands, wristbands and jackets with fringe. Chains and belts. Paisley shirts with bloused sleeves. For men. (Look it up, it's worth the entertainment factor alone). Peace symbols, rock and roll music, revolution and discord. We were rebels. But after a few years the aging experience kicked in. We gave up some of our revelry and walked away from it. We took off the bizarre clothes, put the crazy accessories in the back of the drawer to show our eventual grandkids and cut our hair. Well, at least tamed it a little. And that's what kids do... something different and shocking, rebellious and unique, making a statement - like every generation has done since Adam and Eve first woke up one day to the discovery of a new species on the planet called 'teenager'.

But today the madness has moved into the realm of ink and needles... and lots of hardware. Kids, and adults, are transforming through various epidermal canvases into multicolored cartoon-like caricatures and multi-surface cyborgs. Tats, rings, gauges, chains, stitches and snake bites. These are some of the most bizarre, artistic and creative expressions to date - some real eye openers as well as some shockers - but still no different than young people of any age... just expressions of individuality that help set them apart from previous generations. Nothing wrong with that... except...

This time the expression is permanent. You can't walk away from the tattoo... not easily anyway and certainly not completely. Plus, a hole in the face is still a hole in the face, no matter how long you let it heal. It will always be with you. The generation today will someday want to move on, as we all did, to the next level and a new plateau. Leave behind a memory of youth's rebellion and become the new in-charge young adult and ultimately middle-aged and elderly leaders of the times. But imagine my generation, if we had been unable to shed the striped, multicolored bell-bottoms and the wide-collared purple paisley shirt (I had both, by the way.) and had to wear that image forever. I'd say we'd look pretty ridiculous like that today, like an old rock band revue or a 3 a.m. visit to an urban Wal-Mart. Scary.

And I know none of them think so now... but someday these young people are going to wish the ink and iron they carry around now could be peeled off and left behind like we did, only it won't. They are convinced their expressions, statements and appearances will be 'really cool' when they are older... but trust us who have been there - it won't be. The next generation will have something new and yours will look silly and old to them. And the generation after that will do it again... and so on. I like the art, and some of the expressions and creativity, and even some of the rebellion... I just wish it wasn't going to be stuck there for the rest of their lives. Maybe if I wore my old hippy clothes for a few months they'd get the message. Now where is that old tie-dye kit of mine...

• The last matching date of my lifetime

Ok, this one is kind of silly and trivial, but it's still true: 12-12-12 was the last all matching date of our lives. That's it, it's over, we'll never see it again. We didn't gain anything by seeing it this time, except to say we were there. It's kind of like attending a Trekkie convention - you can tell everyone all the awesome things you saw but no one really cares, it just gives you a little warm, personal sense of accomplishment. But it's our accomplishment. So go ahead, get that 12-12-12 tattooed somewhere, to tell the world "I was there." Put it next to NCC-1701. See which one gets the most compliments.

• The heat wave

The summer of 2012 brought record heat, and let me tell you it was hot! I have always liked the heat, but this year was crazy and it kicked me in the rear for several weeks. We had a new pool and an acreage to run and play, but there was just too much heat to endure. The pool was above ground, and the water got too hot to swim. Too hot to swim... did you catch that? The water lines feeding our house are buried about a foot deep in the yard, but the water was heated enough at that depth to get a warm shower from just the cold faucet. Didn't use the hot water all summer. It was almost too hot to ride in my Mustang convertible. Notice I said 'almost'. It's never too hot for that... but it was close. So we spent a lot of the summer inside. Bummer. Maybe this year will be nicer.

• Blessing and challenges

Even with some very tough challenges 2012 still had some of the biggest blessings. After five years on the road we bought a house again. We have a new granddaughter. Our first one is growing like a flower and they're both infinitely prettier. Our two grandsons became teenagers in 2012... look out world here they come! Another of my children reached adult age... this time a son.

If there's one lesson 2012 taught us it's that life keeps moving, and if we don't learn to ride the waves of time we'll surely sink in the depths. Boards up!

Overall, the year was blessed, but more like the new undergrowth that comes from a spring thunderstorm. No one likes to endure the storms but that's where we grow, and like a mighty oak we are tested and strengthened in the winds of adversity. As unusual as 2012 was, there is a sense of foreboding, that greater changes and challenges are ahead. If 2012 was there to prepare and align us, I pray we learned our lessons and set our sights firmly ahead.

Goodbye 2012. Hello 2013 - may you treat us well!

I grew up in the 1960's in the heart of the Midwest, at a time when we still sang Christmas carols in school - even the good ones that talked about Jesus. Hark the Herald Angels, Joy to the World, O Holy Night, We Three Kings... being in chorus through all my years of school I sang them every year, and knew them all very well.

The problem was, I knew the songs but not the Savior; I was not yet a Christian. Of course, Christmas was still special - that kind of special so hard to describe but clearly felt by everyone, no matter what their background or faith. The songs... the lights... the trees... the packages... the whole spirit of the holiday was glorious and wonderful, so different from the rest of the year. No one could really define why or how, it just was.

And I loved it. The winter snows brought icicles and snowmen, sledding and ice skating, all the things that trimmed out the holidays so perfectly. Caroling down the streets of our small towns was everything Norman Rockwell could have envisioned - winter mittens and woolen coats, galoshes and bright scarves with air so cold you could see the long notes hanging in the air above the mouths of the singers. People would actually come out of their homes and stand on their porches to hear the singing, that awesome singing.

It was all so special.

Living on the farm as a small child, I know we had some tough years. We were not what you would consider 'poor', but sometimes we were probably as close to poor as we could get without actually being there. My parents worked hard. Dad had a full time job in the city, plus worked the farm all the other hours of the days and weeks. Mom took care of the family, the household, and the farm too. We all had chores to do, caring for the animals and crops, building fence and working the fields, everything that makes a farm come together. It wasn't uncommon in those days for rural homes to still use outhouses, and for people to carry water to the house from a well somewhere. We installed our first bathroom when I was twelve, before that it was a long winter walk to the back yard facilities, and warm baths in a washtub. Life was very different from what we have now, but we didn't think anything of it, we just lived it. We were a family - we had birthdays and hot summers and an old black and white TV.

And we had Christmas. That chilly old farmhouse with the oil stove and snow-filled winds whistling outside the windows just made it more special - we had Christmas. We always had a real tree - my dad always liked real trees - and Christmas morning was everything a child could want. The awesome feeling was there all those years, that special holiday feeling.

Now fast forward... past my childhood in the sixties into the tumultuous seventies, and on into the uncertainty of the eighties... to that wonderful moment in my life in 1983 when I accepted Christ and became a Christian. The miracle change took place - the Bible describes it as being 'born again' - where we devote our lives to Jesus and become a new creation in Christ. It was an amazing event for me, opening my eyes to so many truths I had never seen, and real answers to questions I had asked for years. My life was genuinely turned around - I had become a Christian!

As wonderful as that time was, the transformation beginning in March of that year, I was in for yet another surprise as the months wore on. My new life was wonderful, glorious, and blessed - I knew I had finally come home and found in Jesus all that I needed for life and love. My life began to blossom that year, and grew more blessed as the year passed.

Christmas came. The trees, the lights, the glitter and festivities. Shopping, presents and bows, and family dinners. And we sang.

We sang.

We sang the songs of Christmas, the sleighing songs, the snowing songs, the winter songs... and the Jesus songs. And that's when it happened - something exceptional took place in my heart.

The songs came alive! For the first time in my life, those wonderful songs were not only special and seemingly magic, my eyes were opened up and I saw the same Jesus in them that I now had in my heart. They made sense now! It was like a whole new revelation, a brilliant new flash of light that came on and stayed forever, the truth of Jesus! The same songs that were always so special were also now even more beautiful and personal - songs of the birth of the same Savior I had come to know earlier that year - Jesus the light and life of God.

And it was wonderful.

Although I didn't hear the voices of angels, I very clearly heard the message. "Do not be afraid.<sup class="crossreference" value="(G)"> I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior<sup class="crossreference" value="(H)"> has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord." Luke 2:10-11

That was Christmas of 1983, the year I finally understood that special meaning in Christmas, that wonderful feeling that sets it apart. Just as there is nothing like the feeling we experience around the holiday, there is also no feeling like we experience when we receive Jesus as Savior. If you're reading this, and you want to feel Christmas all year, the good news is that you can. Call on this Jesus, the baby born in a humble manger, this Savior who paid the price for our sins on the cross, this risen Messiah who now sits at the right hand of the Father interceding for us, and who dwells in our hearts through faith. Jesus - the answer to all our problems.

Come. Let us adore him, today. Yes, come, let us adore him - Christ the Lord.

Yep, I'll never forget that special Christmas of '83.

And it just gets better every year.

God Bless!

Tomorrow is the big day, so I have taken the precaution of preparing a guide to assist with those who may have procrastinated to the last minute. Don't panic, I'm here to help. Simply follow this step-by-step guide to have everything ready for the end. No worries, I'll walk you through it.

First, handle your tangible assets. Since we don't have a lot of information about how the end will come or who may be left behind, it's important not to allow any kind of flagrant misappropriation of funds or material goods by whatever zombies, mutants or country & western singers may remain. The best way to secure your assets is by relocation - move them from their current money accounts, banks or other stash boxes to a previously defined 'secure area'. Since most of you reading this article probably have not created a suitable location, simply send them to my accounts and I will make sure they are safe and sound. By preparing well ahead of the pending disaster, we are equipped to receive up to several million in assets and will assure they are disposed of in a safe, hygienic manner.

Second, release all real estate. Who knows what kind of chaos will erupt in the aftermath of the end of the world? The last thing you want is your good name dragged into the madness, simply because that pesky property has your name on some of the original documents. Again, thanks to some unusually amazing foresight, there is a solution. Grab your deeds, titles, etc. for your property and quickly sign them over to me for safe keeping. You sure don't want to look back from your eternal home and wish you weren't affiliated with whatever reprobate activity could be taking place there after you're gone: A castle for an evil king, a breeding ground for some kind of intergalactic four-headed creatures, or possibly even a used car lot. You just can't take that chance, especially when you can get your name off it easily and quickly now while there's still time.

Third, educate yourself to understand the possibilities. The best preparation is education - find out what may be the likelihood of certain scenarios playing out. How can the world end? What types of natural disasters may in looming on the literal horizon? Where can we learn more? Tough questions, that deserve quality answers. To execute some last-minute end-of-life cramming, grab some reading material and lock yourself in a quiet, private room with few distractions. You need to focus. Get some science fiction, some doomsday magazines, several copies of USA today and a Bible. Put on some blues to set the mood. Start studying. Let your fears build, get stirred, troubled and ultimately panicked. See how bad a person you are for neglecting this for so long, and that now it's too late. Work through those tragedist predictions, coordinating the events with modern day news. Finally, grab that Bible and start in.

Well, actually, at this point you may begin to experience a bit of an intellectual mood swing. Once in the Bible, you will eventually discover that in the Word of God things are explained a bit differently. The doomsday predictions are quickly shot down, replaced with the truth of the second return of Christ - an event filled with glory for all who believe, not tragedy. You'll see that God has prepared for your eternity in a perfect paradise. Sorry, no zombies or aliens. No asteroid collisions. No nuclear holocausts or solar meltdowns. Just good news. Sorry about that, hate to disappoint you but there it is.

So I guess the bad news for everyone is that God is in control and there isn't going to be a tragic end, unless of course you neglect to accept salvation and risk eternity in hell, but that's a whole 'nother topic. For today, it's just the disappointing realization that the world isn't ending tomorrow.

But what? You already completed steps one and two? Oh dear, now we have a mess. Well, I'll sort it all out, and get your property back to you, as soon as I can. But, what's the rush?

It's not like it's the end of the world.

First of all, you have to know that I love Facebook. LOVE it. I've been involved with the Internet since before there was an Internet, back in the 80's and early 90's when we ran local Bulletin Board systems for local callers to get email, download files etc. We would dial into a bigger provider, the beginnings of the 'net, retrieve mail and files and post our uploads. Cludgy, expensive and slow, but it was the beginnings of a worldwide network.

Then came the actual Internet. Providers had a bank of phone lines for callers and a small trunk line into the network. Email improved, a new invention called a 'web browser' came along and suddenly everyone was surfing websites worldwide. No one really knew what they were doing, but it was huge and we all knew the potential was staggering.

Then came more... online game sites, huge listings of downloads, forums and newsgroups, and text, voice and video chats. There was so much information out there it was difficult to find and sort through it all - so the search engine was popularized. Better algorithms, more knowledgeable tags, and soon we could find just about anything we wanted.

Except people.

Finding and communicating with people was still a challenge. You might find their name in an article, or a mailing address and phone number, or even an obituary, but to really communicate with people you had to locate an email address or some kind of chat group... and it just wasn't effective.

Enter social networking. The concept of everyone signing up at one site and able to chat, share stories or photos, and follow each other daily was exciting and daring. Several possible ideas came and went. Forums were too sparse and slow. Chat rooms too limited. MySpace was a joke, a kids toy with lots of flashy nonsense but little mainstream attraction.

Then there was Facebook. Determined to keep the interface simple and usable yet full featured, it quickly became a favorite for both the young tech-set and the old timers trying to saddle up to modern times. You could find family, classmates and neighbors. You didn't have emails piling up to sort out from all the spam, no annoying messages with thirty layers of forwards, it was simply there whenever you wanted to check and see what was going on within your little circle.

And so we come to the present. Facebook, ever growing and changing, has captured the hearts of Internet users all over the world as the place to connect up. And it works. My family is huge. I have hundreds of cousins, and it seems a new generation comes along about every five minutes. Most of them I have never met face to face, yet on Facebook I have not only learn their names and see their pictures, I also get a glimpse into their lives, their activities, and their passions. I meet their children as they are born, follow their careers, experience their struggles and dreams, share their hearts and laugh, cry and pray with them daily. Facebook has traveled across impossible miles and cultural boundaries, and brought us together again as a family.

And I love it.

Of course, there are negatives, but you can get that at any family reunion. The differences, the gossip and slander, the morality arguments and the politics. Oh goodness, the politics. But at least on the Internet it's a little easier to scoot the chair back and walk away for a break, let the dust settle and cool some heads, and return with some love and caring that just might stop the battles. Or so we would like to think anyway, sometimes the battles get bloody and people get hurt in spite of the best intentions. But we're still family, and that can't change. As they say, 'you can pick your friends but you're stuck with your family.' So true... but when it comes down to basics, we love 'em anyway. And with Facebook, we get to share with each other better than we ever have before, and I love it.

Ah, yes. Facebook...

Not only heartbreaking, it is also in most cases unexpected, forcing the parent into a situation they are neither equipped nor prepared to handle. It is an unspeakable, mostly forbidden topic, dealt with only by those who find themselves thrust into it.

It is every Christian parent's desire that their children go to heaven - just not today.

How should we, as believers, handle the loss of a child? As born again Christians, we have placed our faith and trust in the truth that Jesus died for our sins, paid the price for our penalty, and redeemed us from the curse of this world into the blessed glory of the presence of God. Our passing is not a loss, but ultimate gain. We leave a place of sin and misery, and enter into a realm of perfect paradise, with no more tears, crying or pain. Heaven is real - more real than the dark deceptions and spiritual chaos we wrestle through down here. We sing of heaven, we talk of heaven, we happily look forward to heaven.

And yet, we are reluctant to release our most precious treasures to this blessed place of perfection and glory. Why? Because we love them deeply, deeper than anything in the world can reach. Our affection for them is intertwined with the most vulnerable components of our being, a fabric woven of goodness and life, called by the creator himself "family".

Tearing away from them is to shred that fabric. It uproots from a place more personal and painful than any other connection we experience. The bond with our child is greater than any other, as it should be. Releasing is pain.

And even though we all know these truths to exist, we somehow skip over them in our day to day thinking. Life is short. What is our life, but a mist that is here today and gone tomorrow. Children are like the flowers of the field that grow, bloom and pass all seemingly within the blink of an eye. We are not guaranteed days, months or years - in fact, we are warned to be prepared at any time, that we do not know when we die, or when the Lord returns. The simple truth is: Be ready.

Be ready.

Ready to go home. Ready to suffer loss. Ready to let go. It's hard, but inevitable. It may seem tragic, but in proper perspective it's glorifying, blessed and beautiful. Trust the Lord with your life, your treasure, your heart. As much as we hate to admit it - they were his children first, chosen in Christ before the creation of the world. Trust him. He will care for them, and we can look forward to that great reunion day, when all is said and done, and we're all back together again.

Come, Lord Jesus, come.

This is so tragic. I can't even function I am so broken inside. I can't see the computer monitor for the tears in my eyes.

I hate the devil. I hate the sin of man, led by the powers of darkness, into the evils we fight every day in this world. It hate that the devil always targets children & families, and everything good and loving that God has given our hearts.

"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." Eph 6:12

Come quickly, Lord Jesus. Come now in the comforting and healing power of your Spirit to these families and this community. Come now to our nation and spark a revival in our broken hearts, through our tears and in the midst of our madness, and restore us once again to a place of comfort and peace in your perfect presence. God bless and care for those in this desperate need right now. In Jesus name, Amen

I was thinking wouldn't it be better to just eat the fruits as they are rather than to steam them? Wouldn't all the vitamins be lost in the steaming process? Just my thought hope you won't mind.

Hi flyboy,
Yes, according to http://www.dietitian.com/cookhint.html, certain vitamins and nutrients are lost in the steaming process but not all of them.
Well, this recipe was created as an alternative to eating desserts (i.e ice cream) and snacks, so I thought if we could have fruits served like a "sweet dessert" but where everything is natural - it would be great.
However, thanks for your feedback! Enjoy the site =)

The Red Poppy is a symbol of Rememberance Day. The red symbolises the blood shed from the soldiers.
Another symbol of Gallipoli is the Red Poppy which we also have at our school. The red in the Poppy symbolises the blood shed of the soldiers.
The Gallipoli Oak is a symbol of ANZAC Day & Rememberance Day. We have a Gallipoli Oak at our school that came all the way from the shores of Gallipoli. There are not many of them in the world, so it is very special for our school to have one.

text: The questionnaire of this study is distributed in the branches and business departments located in southern and northern metropolitan areas of Taiwan of the domestic life-insurance S-company as of 2014, with its subjects targeted on the potential clients and the insured mainly above 23 years old in occupation with a fulltime job such that its sample has a better representativeness. In total 1,000 copies are distributed and 606 are valid. Information of the respondents comprehends his or her resident metropolitan area, years old, gender, marriage status, number of his or her family, number of children, the percentage of mortgage of his or her real estate, annual income, net wealth, total value of his or her real estate, self-conceived health situation, education degree or diploma. The study uses Chi-square test, nonparametric test, one-sample K-S test(to check the normality),as well as Kruskal-Wallis test, and Mann-Whitney test. The empirical result finds that the metropolitan residency and the total value of real estate will significantly influence the demand and willingness to buy the life-insurance policy. As to gender and level of healthiness, there exists significant difference concerning the willing premium of the buyer of term and whole life policy: firstly, the willing premium of the term life policy of male buyer is higher than female, while in the whole life policy it reverses; secondly, on self-conceived healthiness, those who self-regard as unhealthy will pay significantly higher premium on term life policy than those who self-regard as very healthy, while those who feel healthier will pay significantly higher premium on whole life policy than those feel himself or herself ordinary or unhealthy. Thirdly, female, married, divorced, widow, annual income within 800,000 NTD, net wealth within 1000,000 NTD, those with no real estate but self-conceived as very healthy, and those with just one child or less will significantly pay higher on the total premium of life insurance policy than other tested groups. Moreover, people with college degree or above, aged within 30, annual income under 800,000 NTD, without real estate, and those have just one child or less will pay higher total premium for life insurance policy than other tested groups.

I've never had designer fabric before, so of course I've been picky about what I'd consider.
And then I fell in love...with Outfoxed.
|Borrowed from FQS, found here
I love the foxes. And especially the little hedgehogs. I adore all three colorways, and definitely their names - "outwitted," "outsmarted," and "outplayed." So clever! This is the same gal who gave us 1001 Peeps - also adorable, but it doesn't include these amazing hedgehogs, so...not that.
I've already got a project in mind - a lap quilt for me to use for work. Because some things have to be just me. And I picture myself embroidering it with the words "outwitted," "outsmarted," and "outplayed," because, um, those are great things to remind ourselves of while sitting at the desks we don't like dreaming about the sewing rooms that are our shelters.
Am I right??

and I was pleased with the result.
Conditions were not brilliant but they were much better than the forecast - and much better than last weeks Snowdon race. There were a few strong gusts and intermittant rain. Some heavy. Some less so. Within the first hour everything was soaked through but it wasn't cold and the decision to wear the gortex was spot on. I was hot in the first half hour but then, in the winds, it kept me at just about the right temperature. Not too hot. Not too cold. I felt comfortable all the way. Anyway, to the race.
I was determined to finish. My time? well I didn't care. I wanted to get round. That was my goal. I was prepared to give up time checking the map in order to get the navigation correct and minimise any cock-ups. This was my first true test of navigation. It was time to put all my 'I'm good at navigation' bragging to the test. Being my first attempt I obviously picked the full distance - in for a penny...
I set off steady. Checking my location and picking what I believed was the best route for me. It was time to live my mantra of 'mimimise the ascent and contour, contour, contour'. I hit checkpoint one OK. I was a little off after the major climb but not actually too far from the right spot. I did better round to two although I did curve round slightly too much and lost a little time on what would have been the perfect route. Then came the longer traverse to three. I got a little confused with the map being a version I'm not used to and had to take a little time to pinpoint my position. That done, I selected my route and stuck to it. With hindsight I don't think I took the best line but neither do I think it cost me too much. Then came the long stage.
The trek to checkpoint four was the longest by far and I took a somewhat wildly different to everyone else. Difficult to describe but I was on my own. Me, the map, the compass and my belief - and believed... Despite feeling a bit odd running against the tide of runners near the checkpoint I still believe I had a good route.
The climb out of the valley and across to six was - for want of a better word - a right bastard and I was beginning to tire. The river crossing was even worse, not to mention a little scary - and believe it or not it does take quite a bit to scare me - but with the water above my waist and flowing pretty fiercly I was glad to reach the opposite bank. The final climb to the tarn and the checkpoint wasn't too bad - mind you, by then I was going much slower - and even more steady.
The final two checkpoints, seven and eight, were fairly short but as I climbed up from the tarn I was all for giving the organiser a slap. Once at the summit - the final summit thankfully - the drop to seven, eight and the finish were ticked off in relative short order. Never has it been more a pleasure to finish.
For those that spotted no mention of checkpoint five - well done, award yourself five point. Due to the weather the course was reduced to the 'bad weather course' meaning it missed out checkpoint five and went straight to six. The 'as the crow flies distance' was 15.5 miles. In all I reckon to have covered quite a bit more than that but not in a bad way as I think for the most part my route planning was pretty good.
I can't finish without putting a massive thank you to Pat's parents whose home we - that's Matthew and I - invaded on Saturday night. They put on a fantastic spread and my gift of a homemade cinnamon and raisin loaf seemed sadly lacking. They are topper people, absolute gold.
My finish position was 51st out of 120+ starters of what was a quality field. My time was 5 hours 16 minutes and I'm happy to report I kicked the ass of both Mat and Pat - just joking, not about beating them, that was true, but about the kicking of ass. We were all very closely packed and heading up there pair of them really made the weekend. Looking forward to my next one now I've started to prove my navigational boasting...

Free at last!!!
So... I quit my job!!! Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Hooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!
Honestly, I can't tell you the liberation! And actually the prospect of frugal - and more mindful - living is kind of exciting me too.
Why I'm pleased:
Not having to do the 9-5 grind, not having 'an office'. Not having all those associated office politics (of which there were A LOT in my place). Not having to travel on trains and buses for hours and hours to get there to do something I don't even really enjoy.
Focusing on my family, creative pursuits - knitting, drawing, playing, learning - just living life at a more local level, a slower pace. Yes, I'll still be doing the lecturing, with it's associated piles of marking etc. but that's something I can control. I can choose which days I want to work. I can choose how many hours I want to take on. I can take on more one term, less the next. And if I run out of money I have to be creative about where I find some more.
I'm thrilled!!
Picture by Picasso, which I'm thinking of having as a tattoo to mark this occasion!

Hooray for freedom! I'm so pleased that it's made you so happy. Are you really thinking of having a tattoo? That would be cool!ReplyDelete
I am pleased you are pleased in the knowledge that if it were me I'd be TERRIFIED!ReplyDelete
PS Don't like the idea of a tattoo though. Nasty things.
With a tattoo you have to think of how they would look 50 years on when your skin will be......(possibly, PROBABLY)wrinkled and saggy with the veins showing through! Don't ask how I KNOW it will be like that!!!ReplyDelete

I thought Florida's texting law was weak, but apparently, Missouri has Florida beat hands down.
Missouri's law on texting and driving applies to those under twenty-one years of age. No other state that I know of has an age-restrictive ban, which means if you turned twenty-two years old today, you can text and drive all you want. Or worse, you are seventy-four years old and texting and driving.
A pending bill being pushed by Republicans, House Bill 1298, may make the ban on texting and driving applicable to everyone, regardless of age. The bill includes provisions for the use of cell phones hands-free. Like most states, there have been attempts in the past to introduce similar legislation.
When it comes to texting and driving, what most of the general public fails to understand is that it is more dangerous than driving under the influence. I base my logic on the fact that there are more people on the road using their cell phones at all hours of the day and night, versus those under the influence of alcohol. In today's world, the leading cause of motor vehicle accidents is attributed to distracted driving.
Three years ago, the Missouri Highway Patrol estimated 19,000 accidents for the year of 2015 that were related to cell phone use. Approximately 8,000 of those accidents involved injuries. That's a whopping 42% which includes 113 fatalities.
My personal experience of riding through Missouri was not a positive one. In 2015, riding back from Sturgis, South Dakota, we spent a night of camping at Mark Twain State Park. By early afternoon the following day, we rode to St. Louis and of course, took the obligatory pictures with the Gateway Arch in the background. From there, we were riding out to Shawnee National Forest. After riding for a few minutes on I-64, I took the next exit off the highway and took back roads the rest of the way. I was surprised by the aggressive driving, to the point that it reminded me of Miami. Now combine aggressive driving and texting, and the result is lethal.

Comic-Con has been over for almost a week now but one thing that I noticed this year at the convention was people saying that over the last few years San Diego Comic-Con has ended with people feeling that the freebies that once flowed freely are no longer as readily available. Mostly Ive heard that the bags and shirts are becoming more scarce in favor of other types of freebies. From my experience this year at the convention It's inarguable that companies on the SDCC floor are giving out less t-shirts, bags and posters than back when I last attended in 2010 or 2011, but does that mean that there's less freebies in general? And if so is that really such a bad thing? I mostly looked for the booths giving out books and comics but is Comic-Con about the freebies you get of the experience you have while you are at the convention and the people you get to meet. For me one of the highlights of the convention was sitting down in the game room with my girlfriend to play FLUXX and meeting a delightful family and playing a few games as we both took a break from the mass number of people trudging about the exhibition hall. That experience lead me back into the exhibition hall and to the FLUXX booth/table twice and I got to meet the creator of the game which was really cool. Comic-Con has so much going on you get to choose your experience. But where does this leave the future of swag hunting at SDCC? Honestly I'm not sure but I doubt its going to go away completely.

I have several responses, radio button, fill-in etc. that are labeled and have the hover text "This label will not appear on the form". Yet clearly... IT IS! Help please.
- JotForm SupportjonathanAnswered on January 31, 2016 at 03:30 PM
I apologize, I made a mistake in understanding the issue. Please disregard my last response.
You were actually referring to the labels / questions on the form as should be hidden and they show on the Facebook page.
But on the actual form URL http://www.jotform.me/form/52001902200432 only.. they are indeed hidden.
Let me check more on this.
- JotForm SupportjonathanAnswered on January 31, 2016 at 03:46 PM
Please try this correction on your jotform http://www.jotform.me/form/52001902200432
Do not remove the field's labels/questions by deleting them. You will notice that the default labels become "Click to edit" since they were deleted or empty.
Always use proper labels. Since you want them hidden, you can use custom CSS code instead to hide the specific label names of the fields (individually).
See the video below for guide.
Let us know if you need further assistance.
- JotForm SupportjonathanAnswered on January 31, 2016 at 03:48 PM
I also recommend re-embedding the form to your Facebook page after you made the updates.
This will ensure the embedded form is the updated version.

Thanks for the screen capture. I tried part of the steps, but I can only see part of the video and have no idea what you did. not it looks worse than it did before because none of the text is black anymore. Now the labels are black and some "questions" aren't showing but the labels are. For example, I'd like the "Did you share..." question to show and prompt the Yes/No but don't want the "share/comment labels to show when viewing the form. I'm much more lost than before.
- JotForm SupportKevin_GAnswered on February 01, 2016 at 12:47 PM
I checked your form and I can seems like you have already followed the steps provided by my colleague, I can see that the labels are not shown anymore, your form is being displayed like this:
Are the labels that you want to hide still showing?
Could you please indicate us which labels do you want to hide?
Please, provide us that info and we will be glad to help you.

What Being A Jew Doesn't Mean To Me
Ah, Judaism, that coat of many colors. We know some Jews who keep kosher with a vengeance; who daven in schul each weekend; who wear their yarmulke on the treadmill, while clubbing, and God knows where else. There's an old saying to the effect of "two Jews, three opinions," and that includes opinions on the topic of Jewishness itself.
As for us, we're more or less clear on what being Chosen means to us. But we're crystal on the subject of what it doesn't mean. Here is a short list:
What Being Jewish Does Not Mean To Simon & Sera
1. Giving up bacon
2. Avoiding light switches or driving on any given day
3. Fasting (bitch, please)
4. Dressing "modestly"
5. Dressing, period
6. Choking down kosher wine
7. Attending synagogue services, except on a basis so random and infrequent it puzzles the U.S. military's best codebreakers
8. Automatically taking Israel's side in all cocktail party debates
9. Avoiding sodomy
10. Strict adherence to the Ten Commandments, because what was #7 again, anyway?
There are more, but you get the idea.
So, yeah, as Jews go, we couldn't get more secular if we ate bacon cheeseburgers at Midnight Mass. But: being a secular Jew is nothing like being an Easter'n'Xmas Christian. We might not log many hours getting jiggy with the Torah, but we consider being Jewish a vital part of the way we process the world each day. We give a shit about being Jewish. We just don't much care for the praying and the congregation and the dietary laws and the terrible, terrible Klezmer music. But:
- we turn up NPR when they talk about Israel or Steven Spielberg
- we eschew red-and-green wrapping paper in favor of blue-and-white
- we cook a mean latke
- we dig Philip Roth and Sandy Koufax and Ben Stiller
- we have that general patented Jewish neurosis that's been passed down since 'round about Abraham, and
- we also have some fresh new syndromes created specially for those of us born to Holocaust survivors. (FYI: Not a cheery bunch.)
More and more, we notice that we share a common language because we're both Jews – and the fact that we're both utterly half-assed Jews in the traditional sense only makes that language more specific. And it's not just the two of us. It's all of our Jewish friends. (Except the ones who are, like, "rediscovering the Torah" and shit. You know who you are -- we see that superior look on your faces, and we don't buy it. You're just as bored in schul as we are.) It might well be the better part of our generation. It could even be you.
So. Here we are, blogging about our peculiar perspective as 21st Century Jews living in the smoggy, glittering heart of Los Angeles. For the next... however long it takes, given the need for naps, the reality of day jobs, and our monumental lethargy, we will endeavor to explain What Being Jewish Means To Us. Which, for those of you too high to follow this, boils down to four words: Sticking It To Hitler.
Please stay tuned as we bring you our thoughts and advice on Sticking It To The Most Evil Guy Ever. (And don't worry, you'll like it. The first thing we're going to tell you to do is have more sex. How cool are we?) We're also planning to put to rest that nagging "Is there a God" question people can't seem to shut up about. And we might talk a little more about how hot we are. Definitely expect to see an in-depth review of the best film since Orson Welles threw that sled on the fire, They Saved Hitler's Brain. Also, we may do none of these things. We're underachievers, just so you know.
Wow, making all those promises was tiring. Time for a disco nap.

There's an article in this month's issue of the EL Gazette that has had me seeing red. I mean, some Tefl twerp called Adam Wilson seems to think he has the right to lecture us Tefl Tradespeople on how to be nice if we want to keep on top of our obnoxious foreign teenagers when trying to teach them a bit of English. Cheek!
For example, look at the following piece of wanky liberal claptrap masquerading as 'classroom management' (or it might be the equally awful and misguided 'student-centred learning'):
"Explain to your students what you are doing - and why"
That's wrong, Adam babes - just plain wrong. No, what you need to tell them is that YOU are the teacher, and they are the fuggin' students, and all they need do is OBEY your orders. There's no point in attempting to explain to them how your carefully-planned activities are fully in accord with Vygotsky's theory of ZPD, as (a) the stupid little bastards will not understand a word, and (b) you've probably screwed it all up or forgotten about poor Lev anyway. And admit it, saying that you're just following what it says in the Teacher's book is probably not going to inspire your evil scrotes one bit, is it?
Poor Adam goes on with his misguided advice by stating that, when faced with intransigent teenagers, "another possible solution is to reward young learners appropriately". I mean, did you notice that pathetic 'young learners' phrase creeping in there? Why not just refer to them as 'snotty-nosed foreign brats', which is exactly what they are?!
And as for the actual prospect of offering the scrotebags rewards as a sort of bribe for behaving well, I say this: they should be bringing in tributes to the teacher, not the other way round. No, mate, you've got it all arse about face, as the balance of power stands tipped firmly in Mr T's favour, innit.
In my experience, a regular thrashing of the worst-behaved students will have the rest of the class fawning over you at the end of the lesson, offering to buy you cups of tea and thrusting chocolate bars in your general direction. This is the way God intended classrooms to be, and I know that for a fact, 'cos a Mormon told me once.
In fact, the only effective tool that the professional Tefler needs to carry everywhere is his voice - the louder, the better. Of course, weapons can be hastily assembled from the usual armoury of board markers, large heavy dictionaries, and sharp pencils, but these should only be employed when the initial blasts of brutal Anglo-Saxon 'Englisc' have failed to tame the mob of dark-skinned inbreds who are your students.
Try walking in to your next lesson screaming "Where is your bloody homework, you slimy little sons of whores?!" and you will notice the difference immediately. And "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" can be surprisingly effective when repeated at great volume, especially at the levels from Beginner to Intermediate.

No system will be considered flight-ready in the FAR 1030 rocket without going through rigorous testing. The Test Rocket team is responsible for building and launching rockets to support the other subsystem teams and certify hardware and software that cannot be tested on the ground.
🅱ronheim launched February 3, 2018 and was successful. It tested the recovery subsystem, avionics subsystem (particularly in-flight telemetry and radar tracking), and systems integration subsystem. Nose cone pressure data was planned but software was not ready. Assembly was quick and only took about an hour between arrival and launch. There was damage to the fins upon landing as expected but otherwise no problems.

Eddy Guerrero v Dean Malenko (Inglewood, CA, 6/28/97)
Yeah, these two together are infinitely more enjoyable to me when they drop the whole SPIRIT OF COMPETITION~ deal and one of them acts like a little douchenozzle instead. The Uncensored match had Eddy starting to embrace his inner-scumbag. That was in March and this is June, and by this point he's a fully-fledged slimeball. I love weasly little dickweeds in my pro-wrestling and Eddy is a spectacular weasly little dickweed here. Taunting, begging off, stalling, back-pedalling, cheating; the whole shebang. This being a handheld means that you get to see him really milking stuff like grabbing the ropes for leverage on holds or working the ref' into positions so that he can't see a fly hair pull or choke. I generally don't like handhelds very much since I seem to have a problem concentrating (the reason for which is still a mystery to me), but they do let you see things that you normally wouldn't on TV, and Eddy playing to the back row is something I can definitely get behind. I'm not a Malenko fan by any stretch of the imagination, but seeing him work as a straight up babyface that's basically eschewing all of the lengthy control segments is making me even less excited about going back to those Malenko/Mysterio matches where he spends an hour doing limb-work that winds up being totally pointless, because I can actually enjoy him as the former. He does work Eddy's leg for a few minutes in this, but before long he's back to being the recipient of weasel boy's dirty tricks. Also like how Eddy decides to work Dean's leg as a receipt of sorts once he gets back in control. Reminded me of the Kerry Von Erich/Michael Hayes match on the Texas set, although this felt more like an "anything you can do I'll go ahead and do better because I'm a dick like that" thing than Kerry doing it because Hayes is the bane of his existence. Unfortunately it's a theme that's dropped after a few minutes, but I'm less annoyed by three or four minutes of leg work from two guys combined going nowhere than eight or nine minutes from one guy going nowhere. Plus Malenko hits this awesome leg whip and busts out a super fast kneebar in this and I was leaning on rewind like a motherfucker. Think I just prefer their Uncensored match, but this is RIGHT there and I'll be damned but I'm actually looking forward to the next Eddy/Malenko match on the set. And it's a fuggin' handheld. What next?
Juventud Guerrera, Lizmark Jr. & Hector Garza v La Parka, Psicosis & Villano IV (Bash at the Beach, 7/13/97)
Ridiculous spotfest. First couple minutes has guys pairing off like a traditional Lucha trios match, but before long they ditch that and just run through a shit ton of highspots. Way too much to mention all of it, but the spot where the technicos do a stereo suicide dive and Mark Curtis just curls up in the corner with his hands on his head is awesome. Psicosis also murderises Juventud with this powerbomb thing off the top rope that is just fucking ludicrous. The dive train towards the end is tres cool and Juventud's spot is... well, words don't do this thing justice. Juvi should challenge Keith Richards to a coke-snorting contest. Can you call something that has no transitions or structure in the slightest a good match? It's totally insane and it's something I'd probably hate if I never knew what to expect to begin with. Some people will probably still hate it. Pretty much the definition of a "popcorn" match. If this was a Kurt Angle, Kurt Angle & Kurt Angle v Davey Richards, Davey Richards & Davey Richards match and they wrestled it the exact same as these 6 guys I'd shit all over it. Good job I have no problem being a hypocrite in this instance.
Eddy Guerrero v Chavo Guerrero Jr. (Nitro, 7/14/97)
Eddy's dropped the singlet here and has 100% completed the transformation to total bare-chested, pornstached scumbaggery that I remember from my childhood. He's also invested in a white bandana that you might not think would make a HUGE difference to one's cretinous aura, but trust me, it SO fucking does. The previous week it seems Eddy had ditched Chavo during a tag match and left him to be the victim of Scott Norton's pro-wrestling snuff film, all in an effort to toughen him up. This doesn't sit well with Chavo, so this week Eddy plans on toughening him up himself. Nice little match, the story being Chavo hanging tough (pun?) and getting more than his expected share of licks in while Uncle Scumbag comes to realise he shouldnt be taking his nephew so lightly. Eddy getting fed up with the pissing about and just shredding Chavo's chest with chops is a sight to see. Not their best match together, but this was short and sweet.

August is the perfect time to talk about energy-saving tools and programs, as our electricity bills are the highest of the year, and businesses and individuals pray that their air conditioners will hold out. Possibly even more important than our ability to stay cool however, is the impact our energy practices have on the environment and climate we live in. Businesses in New Orleans not only know the repercussions for energy use, but are leading the charge in changing the way we think about and use energy. Last Friday, many of these businesses joined LifeCity and Energy Smart for a workshop about saving money and energy. Here is what we learned!
First, we heard from Siobhan Foley with the New Orleans Office of Resilience and Sustainability. She provided an overview of the new Climate Action Strategy, which features many inspiring and important goals for New Orleans, spanning over the next 20-50 years. In the strategy, goals such as decreasing our carbon footprint, increasing solar energy, reducing waste, and supporting development of the circular economy will be used to inspire business leaders and citizens to contribute to the positive change needed to meet these goals. Not only does the strategy include helping our environment, but it also sets the stage for job creation and connecting culture to climate change. To read the whole strategy, click here.
Next, Jackie Dadakis, the Managing Partner of Green Coast Enterprise (GCE) Services, spoke to us about Green Coast's efficient and accessible technology that allows businesses, schools, and organizations to track their utility bills and other data relevant to energy use and savings. Through a simple data tracking dashboard, it is easier to make decisions that will greatly reduce costs and unneeded energy usage. By focusing on the inefficient and expensive quadrant of energy use, Green Coast has been able to help businesses and organizations reduce costs so that they can feel good about helping the environment, while saving money to spend on hiring more employees, establishing sustainable practices, or investing in other areas of business development.
Finally, Robyn Munici, a Project Lead at Energy Smart, a program developed by the New Orleans City Council and administered by Entergy New Orleans, spoke about energy savings opportunities. Robyn described how Energy Smart helps Entergy New Orleans' electric customers save energy and money through energy assessments and valuable cash rebates on a variety of energy efficiency improvements. Leveraging cash back incentives and trade ally partners, Energy Smart works with businesses and industrial facilities to meet their energy needs, while reducing their carbon footprint and establishing sustainable and cost-effective business practices.
Although the primary focus of our workshop was business customers, Energy Smart also runs a residential program.
If you are interested in saving money and energy at home, visit the Energy Smart website to get started!
Thank you to all the businesses and speakers who participated, and we look forward to making New Orleans a more resilient and clean energy-driven community!

Hey all, making my first post after lurking for a few months.
Has a major shift in tech coincided with major life changes for you?
I just got through some hard stuff and am rebooting my life in a new city. I also began retooling my career around 3 months ago, and it's led me, after a decade using OSX, to a few different distros and now finally to Debian. I've been playing around with Stretch on a stick for a couple weeks and am going to install it on my daily machine in a few days. A lot of the personal things I've been working on often coincide with Debian philosophies, which has made it really interesting to discover.
Looking forward to contributing where/when I can.

Jerrold Mundis: Earn What You Deserve: How To Stop Underearning & Start Thriving
Do You Need More Money?
What a title! I was initially attracted to this book, as surely anyone must be, by immediate identification with its title. Doesn't everyone feel, in their secret heart of hearts, that they deserve much, much more? (A fatter paypacket is the least of it.) Part of the initial response, though, for most of us, is also, "Sure. And I'll take a side-order of golden tap-dancing stallions with that earning what I deserve, Jerrold."
Buy Money Making Books On Amazon
Jerrold Mundis is widely known as the author of "How to Get Out of Debt, Stay Out of Debt & Live Prosperously", a book widely regarded as something of a bible by members of Debtors Anonymous. This book, however, is targeted less at those struggling with mountainous debts, and more at those who have had or may still have some residual debting problems, but essentially feel they have an insuperable problem with bringing enough money in to live on.
What Is An Under-earner?
Mundis spends a lot of time focussing on the typical mentality and behaviours of the under-earner. He identifies behaviours he views as typical: examples are denial, taking on under-paid work, failing to identify opportunities to make money, getting into debt, and self-sabotage in relation to career and projects. They may be obsessively active and busy, volunteer during time they could be doing remunerative work, or fetishize poverty and despise and resent the rich.
In essence he seems to view under-earning as an actual addiction, or at least a comfortable and habitual behaviour which, once learned, the sufferer is extremely nervous and reluctant to deviate from as it feels safe and familiar. So what practical action can you take if you recognise yourself in the pages of this book?
Make More Money! Stop Debting!
Mundis recommend immediately ceasing the negative actions associated with the syndrome. This involves having an open mind about money making offers and opportunities, giving of your best in a job, not convincing yourself of your unfitness for work or for a project, refraining from debting, turning down insultingly lowly-paid work, ceasing to self-sabotage and, probably most importantly, ceasing to deny your history of under-earning.
How To Be An Over-earner
There are further and more advanced steps along the road, but these are the initial and probably the most important ones. (Mundis does recommend a detailed spending plan in a further chapter, as well as going into the complications of addressing under-earning for couples and families.) There is a lot of spirituality and emotional self-examination in his approach to under-earning. However each person can take from the book only what is necessary: the essential steps are purely practical and secular and can be applied by anyone.
'Earn What You Deserve' is a quick and enjoyable read which offers a lot of food for thought. It has a place on my bookshelf and a dog-eared appearance, which says a lot for how valuable a resource I have found it to be. This is a book I can personally recommend for anyone who feels they can identify with the problem outlined in its pages.
