The SpidoLite Gold, the fourth generation of the SpidoLite family, marks an evolution in weight-optimised construction and reveals the first ever Linde Werdelin power reserve indicator.
The SpidoLite family was born from an expedition to Mount Everest and has pursued a simple goal: to save weight without compromising on strength, integrity or performance.
Holistically conceived and engineered, this SpidoLite is the most extreme skeleton to date and the SpidoLite Gold challenges the assumption that a heavy precious metal cannot produce an incredibly agile sports timepiece.

About this Remix
This song is inspired by Switchfoot as well as my own personal taste in electronic music. I have always been a fan of Switchfoot and their music so getting the chance to work with their music and put my own twist on it was just awesome experience. I feel like this song is about the constant battle of everything in the world trying to bring you down, but still trying to stay above it all. I feel like i really captured this message with the cutoff on the strings fading out, while "you cant bring me down" played in the background. I spent a good chunk of time working on this and i hope you enjoy listening as much as i did while making it!! check out my social medias for more of my music!!!! https://soundcloud.com/alek-graham https://www.facebook.com/AlekGraham98/ https://alekgrahamdj.wordpress.com/ https://www.instagram.com/alekgrahamdj/

Even though…. you are well aware about computer fundamentals, this would act as a refresher module to understand further topics.
You might be aware that before we start learning language we need to know that computer system is comprised of hardware and software….
Hardware generally comprises of monitor…..keyboard….mouse…..CPU etc….whereas software is a set of programs….
Software again is broadly classified into two types……
One is System Software which is used for running a system….for example Operating system and other softwares.
The other type of software…..is application software….which is typically used by end user for day-to-day tasks…..
What you see…. on the left side of the frame on the monitor is hardware and that of on the right hand side are software….both these hardware and software are handled by primary software called Operating system….

How did The Boy Next Door begin? When did I know that this was the story? When did I meet Lindiwe, Ian? Each of these questions could have a myriad of answers. The most simple would be to locate an event, a date, a time, and say, well it was on such and such a day and this thing happened, and that that's the root, the germ of the story, right there.So then, a phone call, sometime in early 2006. And the first line came some months later. Much changed in the story itself (draft after draft), but that first line has remained constant, true. The phone call was from Bulawayo. A fire had broken out next door to my parents' house, the house of my childhood. Just that. A fire. And then, my first line — Two days after I turned fourteen the son of our neighbor set his stepmother alight — there it was: the story; the sum and whole of it, its core . . . from there springs Lindiwe's story; without this line, her story would be another story, shaped by some other thing.But where exactly did that line come from? What did some fire (in 2006) have to do with that line, which takes place in the early '80s? What was it that drew me all the way back to that time, that period, to then?Ah, in between the phone call and the line, a suggestion from an editor that I should write a memoir of growing up in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe. My response was no. I wasn't ready for a memoir. But his idea, his suggestion, opened the door for memory, for childhood, for the broad strokes of Lindiwe's childhood: the bookworm in Bulawayo; the family outings; the cherished Cortina. Bulawayo as I knew and breathed it so many years ago. The Bulawayo that is in my veins, in my heart, in my spirit. Borrowed from my childhood but once again worked over. Imagined and reimagined until it became that Bulawayo, the Bulawayo of the story. Lindiwe's Bulawayo.But, perhaps because I've been musing about this very thing — where do our stories, characters, begin — with another writer, I'm inclined to think that this story, these characters, come from everything that has gone into making me who I am today, everything that has fed my body, my mind, my spirit, over these forty plus years; all that I am conscious and unconscious of, ranging from books I've read, to music I've loved, to, well, perhaps what I had for breakfast seventeen years ago; what remains behind, embedded, I suppose, in my psyche. In conversing with this writer, I suddenly had an inkling, a suggestion of where Ian might have come from. And the discovery made me smile at the wonderment of it.When I was a teenager in Bulawayo, I went to a youth club at church where for a long time I was the only black member. There were those white teenage boys who, though so close, were complete strangers to me, foreigners. I watched them and, unbeknownst to them (and to myself), they were handily stored in my subconscious: one day I would find myself sitting at my desk in a town so far away from dear Bulawayo, and there the fragments of these boys would become shaped and shifted into this new boy, Ian. And now, another memory: during my last two years of high school (I went to an all-girls' Catholic school), I took science classes at Christian Brothers College (an all-boys' school). Imagine, then: this girl, this studious, book-loving girl (with no brothers), one of only six "science girls," for the first time exposed to a bunch of rowdy sixteen- to eighteen-year-old boys, with their practical jokes, their energy, and their bouts of sudden shyness and self-consciousness when around "the girls." Imagine what my memory kept and layered with memory and with whatever it is that is imagination, the gift of it. But here lies a mystery, of what happens when the writing begins and feeds on itself: Ian is not the sum of those boys lost, kept. For starters, he is a working-class boy, with his particular vocabulary. The boys I met those years back were middle class. Another memory strikes me: could Ian be formed from the fragments of my sister's stories when she worked for the Commercial Farmers Union and she had all those farm boys going in and out of the office with their muddy veldt-skoeners, their knee-length socks and home-done hair cuts? Or could he be crafted from the bits of unemployed, lowly-educated white boys who were filed in a separate drawer (away from the Indians, the blacks, the coloreds) at the Harare employment a
Irene Sabatini reveals how a simple phone call led her to write her debut novel, a powerful love story set in post-independence Zimbabwe.
gency where I worked for a month? But wait, growing up, I read many books about the rugged male heroes of the American prairie; my favorite book, Shane, by Jack Schaefer: could it be that Ian has something of that in him? What was already there, as well as that great intangible, what we imagine, brought him into being. Ian is unlike any boy I have ever known. I would recognize him instantly if he stepped into a room, and yet he would also have the capacity to surprise me. He is himself.

I have always experimented with different monitor and KVM (keyboard/video/mouse) devices so that I could easily use my work computer and my home computer at the same desk. Couple that with nowadays, computer monitors are pretty cheap (23" monitor for ~$129 as of this writing).
Over time, I've started to really rely on having multiple monitors. For a software developer, that extra real estate is just soooooo nice!
However, I had it so that I had my "main" monitor switched through the KVM and the other monitor I left hard-wired to my main computer. This meant that I had 2 screens for home, but only 1 for work. Glancing at the picture below, Monitor 2 was shared via the KVM between home and work, and Monitor 1 was hard-wired to my home machine.
Well, will visiting last week, brother John mentioned a really smart way to hook things up where I could re-use more of my equipment. Now that the dust has settled, this is what I've ended up with:
My home computer:
- DVI cable to Monitor 1
- VGA cable to KVM (which feeds Monitor 2)
- "Active" DisplayPort->DVI cable to Monitor 3
- USB cable to Mimo Monitor 4
That means that I can switch the KVM to home, AND manually switch Monitor 3 to use DVI – and I can use ALL THREE main monitors for home (and the Mimo is always available too). Or, I can leave Monitor 3 pointing at work, and still use Monitor 1 + 2 + 4 for home.
My work computer:
- VGA cable to KVM (which feeds Monitor 2)
- DisplayPort to DVI cable to Monitor 3
That means that my work computer can use either Monitor 2, or Monitor 2 + 3 at the same time. The KVM controls Monitor 2, and I can optionally use Monitor 3 by manually switching the input.
The important lesson I learned here is that apparently "most" video cards require an 'active' connector for DisplayPort, to be able to support a 3rd monitor. So, after some trial-and-error, I needed to hook up my home computer to Monitor 3 with an 'Active' DisplayPort to DVI adapter. Using a passive adapter resulted in Windows 7 saying "can't save display settings" and not allowing me to display 3 at a time. I could choose any 2, but not use 3 at a time.
Monitors are relatively cheap now, and most standard video cards in present day (even laptops) support at least 2 monitors – you should look into adding some screen real estate to your computer rig!

OK, last night, while TCM had its Greer Garson night, i watched "Goodbye, Mr. Chips" again. Well: if there is a sentimental comedy-drama from 1939 i'm going to like, "Goodbye, Mr. Chips" might as well be the one. And Robert Donat's performance is simply perfect.
I bring this up because in 1939, his Oscar win for that performance was one of those generally well-liked awards. Clark Gable had already won an Academy Award, and he wasn't considered such a great actor to begin with; James Stewart was the leading contender for "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington", but this was a case of studio politics: Stewart was an MGM star and he was in a movie on loan-out to Columbia. At that time, the Academy was just getting started in terms of having a membership, and there really was block-voting, i.e., Jack Warner or Louis B. Mayer would tell you who to vote for. Obviously, Robert Donat got the support from MGM that might have gone to James Stewart.
(This accounts for what happened next year: Stewart was nominated for "The Philadelphia Story"... for the second lead part! Cary Grant was playing the lead... but Cary Grant was not an MGM star, he had signed a one-picture deal, for a huge salary - at the time - for "The Philadelphia Story". Grant had non-exclusive contracts with RKO and Columbia, but he was NOT on "loan-out" to MGM, he had the ability to sign outside deals. Cary Grant was one smart cookie: he was one of the first free agents in Hollywood. Anyway, Louis B. Mayer wasn't going to nominate Cary Grant for the top grossing movie for MGM in 1940, and the nomination of Stewart for "The Philadelphia Story" was also a rebuke to Margaret Sullavan, because Louis B. Mayer hated her. Sullavan was one of the few who always stood up to Mayer, who always disagreed with his ideas, Mayer couldn't see the potential of James Stewart, but Sullavan did and worked to make her friend a star. The reason his nomination was a rebuke was that in 1940 Stewart also appeared in "The Shop Around the Corner" and "The Mortal Storm", two of his best performances, but Mayer would not have him nominated for those movies, which led to the erroneous idea that "The Shop Around the Corner" and "The Mortal Storm" had been failures.)
But Robert Donat's inherent reticence and elegance as an actor help to keep the mawkishness of the material from slopping all over the place. (Just imagine if someone like Lionel Barrymore had played the role!) It's a truly heroic performance. (The New York Film Critics Circle did give their award to James Stewart for "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington".)

Here's how to assign targeted practice assignments:
1) Determine which standard you will be teaching and plan a lesson.
As with all math lessons, you first need to determine which standard and skill you will be teaching your students. Whether you base this information off unit plans or pacing guides, be certain that your lesson is based on a particular skill and standard.
2) Teach your students that skill in a whole group format.
Before your students log in to Freckle for a targeted practice assignment, teach the lesson you had planned. This way students will have some background information around the topic, reducing frustration and improving performance. If you are using targeted practice as a diagnostic assessment, then you can skip this step and have students show what they know about the topic without instruction.
3) Send assignments to students.
Login to Freckle and select "Assignments" on your Teacher Dashboard.
4) Click the blue "+Add An Assignment" button.
5) Click the "Targeted Practice Assignment" box to assign a particular standard to your students.
6) Use the dropdown menu to pick the class and students you want to assign.
7) Choose the standard that you want to assign
Note that all standards for all grades within the domain are listed. You can select "See Example K.CC.1 Questions" to see some sample questions.
8) (Optional) Choose a specific skill within the standard.
9) Choose the number of questions you want to assign.
10) Check the summary for your assignment and click "Assign"
You will now see your targeted practice assignment listed on the Assign Math page. You can see the standard you assigned, the short name for the standard, the date you assigned it, as well as students' progress on the assignment.
11) Have students log in to Freckle.
Students will log in to Freckle just the same way that they always have - with their first name, last name and class code.
12) Have students head to Assignments.
13) Students will see their assignments waiting for them.
Multiple assignments may be listed. Have students click the assignment to begin.
14) Students will have ONE opportunity to complete the assignment.
Once students have finished the assignment, the targeted practice assignment will end and they will return to adaptive practice within the domain in which they were working.
14) Check class progress on the assignment.
To check class progress on the targeted practice assignment you just sent to your students, click on the arrow icon next to the assignment.
You will see a list of students who have not yet completed the assignment, as well as a list of students who have already completed the assignment. This makes it easy to track the completion of the assignment!
Once an assignment is completely finished, meaning all students have completed it, it will be moved from the list of assignments and will be filed under the Completed Assignments tab at the top of the page.

From the man who is seen as the expert on Biblical gender roles:
Finding resolve amidst the dissonance of "churchianity"
John Piper has stated that everything he says in a book, sermon, or a tweet comes directly from God. Wish I had the quote, but I don't, and I don't feel like searching for it.
The Protestant Church operates on a spiritual caste system, same as the Roman Catholic Church. John Piper has spiritual authority, and you, lowly pewsitter, do not.
Until that reality is recognized and dealt with, there will be no solution, and Piper can continue to blatantly proclaim whatever he wants. That second quote is a direct in-your-face statement to those who disagree with him and his good ol' boys club.
Salvation is not tied to membership in the institutional church. Salvation is tied to the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross.
The second tweet reminds me of what is commonly quoted in Pentecostal circles: "Do not touch my anointed ones, and do my prophets no harm." 1 Chron. 16:22
It's meant to discourage any accusations about the pastor. You are supposed to pray for God to deal with him/her.
I interpret it as "sit down and shut up." Many of us have done that for too long, which may explain why abuse is so prevalent in the church today.
It strikes me that, whether one agrees or disagrees with Piper, he tends to speak in ways that are not well expressed in 140 characters. Try to describe "Christian hedonism" in a tweet, for example. Good luck.
For that matter, how many of the writers in the Bible confine themselves to 140 characters, or how many of the great theologians communicated that way? Not to threadjack (sorry Julie Anne), but it strikes me that maybe, just maybe, Christians ought to communicate in complete….paragraphs, or even pages?
Regarding the first tweet, I am reminded of Patton's comment that the point of soldiering is not to die for your country. The point is to make the other (expletive) die for his. It strikes me as well that Augustine's theory of just war implies just this as well; you only go to war when you have a reasonable chance of success–which would include as many soldiers coming home alive as possible, I'd think.
And regarding the second, I think I get what he's talking about, but how exactly can one not be empathetic to one's own feelings, whether they are aligned with reality or not?
Long in short is that I think Piper needs to realize that he communicates best in paragraphs to pages, and ought to drop the Twitter account. I can then criticize, or praise, him fairly.
Here is my response to John Piper's tweets:
"If Jesus is not empathetic to your mistreatment, you don't need to be. If he is, no one else needs to be. He will settle."
Wait… If Jesus is empathetic to your (anyone's) mistreatment, no one else needs be.
That's surely good news; I'll no longer waste my time weeping with those who weep, then.
Pointless exercise, clearly.
Bike Bubba,
Piper definately doesn't do well in tweets. As for his writings, take a peak at A Cry for Justice blog for breakdowns of twisted scripture in a few of JP's writings. They aren't always up to snuff either. His marriage book, "This Momentary Marriage" although some things are good, I would burn it rather than give it to anyone who needs direction in that adventure.
Chris R,
That's surely good news; I'll no longer waste my time weeping with those who weep, then.
Isn't that good news. We'll all have spare time on our hands now. What shall we do instead now that we don't have to have compassion for other people?
The Protestant Church operates on a spiritual caste system, same as the Roman Catholic Church. John Piper has spiritual authority, and you, lowly pewsitter, do not.
As someone who's in the RCC, these guys like Piper claim much more spiritual authority than any Pope since the Borgias, their Ex Cathedra pronouncements are far more sweeping, and their churches have a more extreme caste system than anything I've seen in the officially-hierarchical RCC.
Serious question…has Piper ever served in the military or ever tended to someone who has taken a bullet?
Of course not. If Jesus isn't empathetic to the bullet wound then Piper doesn't need to be either. And if Jesus is empathetic to it then Piper doesn't need to be. Jesus will take care of it.
(My answer isn't very serious but my point is.)
Mr. Piper evidently knows nothing of the Russian women partisans who fought and died on the Eastern front during WW2. If he did, he wouldn't make such inane statements regarding their mettle as warriors. As snipers they were greatly feared by the Wehrmacht. Tanya Chernova and Roza Shanina (also known as: Die Weisse Hexe) come to mind.
Die Weisse Hexe means The White Witch in German
I have to say thanks for this Julie Anne. I must admit that fake piper on twitter is absolutely hilarious. Here is a gem
"Fake Piper @FakePiper 7h7 hours ago
Sorry for my prolonged silence. I've been on a social media fast for 40 days after glimpsing a bare female shoulder on Facebook."
This one is truly profound and it hits at the heart of the matter with many of these men.
"Fake Piper @FakePiper · 9h 9 hours ago
If Jesus' death drained the wrath of God, how much more should we compress our feelings of anger toward our spouse into a tight little ball?"
Their theology does two things. Takes very complex issues and compresses them down to a sound byte or a tweet. It breeds rage, some of it is subdued beneath the grandfatherly smile of Piper or the classic passive aggressive of a MD or to some degree John Macarthur and his platitudes and assuredness on every subject. Just watch JM on Larry King when he was on a panel with deepak chopra concerning evolution, when Deepak makes more sense than you thats scary dont believe me go watch the entire dialog, it is an embarrassment but JM and his ilk were happy with back slaps all around for how the Good Pastor stood up for the troooth ™.
Then you have the angry prophet motif such as Paul Washer Tony M etc. It is actually rather sad. But I think it stems out of their view of God and how God just hates most of us with such a passion.
There is a very good post on ACFJ written by a guest Pastor who answers Pipers "look on the marriage license" theory of marriage for anyone who is interested. He was directly speaking about JP, but about those who hold with the permanence view of marriage. He states that vows that are made with lies are not a covenant. That of course is my spin on what he said. If anyone abuses their spouse, the vows were false and there is no covenant. God will not recognize false vows. There has not always been a piece of paper called a marriage license. That is man made, not God made.
John Allman,
I find JP's remark about looking on the marriage certificate to be offensive and not a bit of wit to it. I am not Roman Catholic but was an abused wife told that I must stay with the abusive man in a nondenominational church. It should be offensive to everyone who realizes that abuse exists. His word carries a lot of weight with a lot of people although it shouldn't. What he says is not Biblical and as I have said previously should have his twitter account revoked. He speaks babel.
Julie Anne,
Am I in the SSB doghouse?
Brian, I think you and I might be twins separated at birth.
the first tweet is typical of these guys. second tweet really bothers me and the one that should really bother us the most.
as usual Piper does not tell us if the person mistreating the other person is a professing Christian or not. why? because in his world it does not matter. his paradigm of Christianity is all about authority and caste systems. that is why it does not matter if the wife abuser is a professing Christian or not. he taught the very same thing on his video where he said wives should take abuse….for a season. whatever that means. I guess the authority gets to decide what a season means.
Piper knows a different Jesus than I do.
John Allman,
There are those that recite what the minister/justice-of-the-peace or whomever is validated by the state that do not mean one word they are saying. They don't intend to love, they intend to abuse the other person, their children or a combination of both. They intend to dominate and control. Their intentions are evil and a lie. The church more times than not enables the abuser. I have no problem agreeing to disagree. On some things we do agree. I don't take divorce lightly, but I do not believe that all marriages should be permanent. I also do not believe that being divorced should cause the injured spouse to remain unmarried until the abusive spouse is deceased. I site the Exodus 21. I see no difference in the slave wife then and the abused wife now.
the fact he was allowed to beat (discipline) her to a certain extent as if she was chattel and a mere child he must raise and not a partner
I had a conversation with a man on MarketWatch (of all places) a couple of days ago about this very thing. He believed that he had authority over his wife, we should go back to the days when a woman knew her place and partners were only for homosexuals and corporations. That conversation didn't go well and all of his remarks were deleted from the site.
Who is John Piper to make the claim that GOD almighty is not empathetic about someone being mistreated. I'm starting to think this guy has lost his mind. If you evaluate him by his tweets, he has gone from being the typical reformed goob to boarder line psychopath. When a "pastor" goes to the point of being so crass about other people's suffering or abuse, when he minimizes it to "cover" for his fellow thug "pastors" that have had incrediable abuse including children being raped occurring in their churches it's beyond explainable for him to tweet that.
John Allman,
What's wrong with arranged marriages? In your case probably nothing. For many others–plenty.
I hope you were only referring to your own marriage. I certainly hope your parents didn't go into negotiations and your wife was not purchased for money or a goat. I hope you met before the ceremony. I am very happy for all of those couples that feel God put together and live happy yet realistic lives. By realistic I mean that no one is perfect, but work things out together when their are problems.
My daughter has told me that if I were to ever get involved with anyone ever again, which the chances are slim and/or nil, that she would be doing the interrogation of this person, but then would give her blessing if he would pass her tests. Arranging the marriage, no.
OK, I know I commented that maybe Piper ought to just keep away from Twitter because his ideas generally don't package well in 140 characters, but then I just read his comment on why he doesn't believe sexual immorality is reason for divorce….in which he uses a narrow definition of "porneia" as "fornication/premarital sex" to exclude adultery as a reason for divorce. In doing this, I'm pretty sure he (a) abandons the usual Jewish use of that word and (b) abandons the link to Deuteronomy 24:1-4, Exodus 20:14, and other Torah passages about divorce. I had thought that Piper usually does better than that, my disagreement with his charismatic side aside.
Off topic; sad news about Mars Hill. Absent Mark Driscoll, the church needs to disband. Disagree as I do with many things of and about the man, pretty sad.
(lesson; if the church you serve probably couldn't survive without you, maybe it's time to stop the building programs and see about graciously dividing that church into multiple churches that can be led by a pastor of average ability?)

That's par for the course on Personality Cults — business, politics, or church. Once there's no more Great Man to Worship, everything falls apart. It's a rare cult that survives the death or departure of its founder.

Yertle the Turtle's ego gets in the way.
The more he tweets, the more he proves himself to be an idiot and not quite the deep theologian that his followers worship him as.
And I honestly think half the problem is that they guy tries to tweet 200 "relevant" tweets per day because he is the guru and people "need" to hear from him.
One in his position cannot tweet so many thoughts in a day without letting some idiotic statements come out. Especially if you are John Piper.
He is like the theological version of SNL's "Deep Thoughts: By Jack Handy."

I am so glad to hear it. Have you heard the stories of women being killed on their first date? It actually happened to a women in my area about 2 years ago. They went out for a walk after dinner and he shot her. IF, I am to meet someone, I won't be looking on a website or asking John Piper for marriage advice. Of course, he would not allow that. I am divorced.
John Allman,
I know nothing about you other than your question about arranged marriages and when reading about the cows wasn't sure if you were for real or a comedian. I was not intending to pry into your personal life. Being labeled an imperialist is a new one. I've been called many things but that is a new one. If people want someone else to tell them who to marry, far be it from me to tell them otherwise. There are still countries in South America where warring villages will practically pull a woman apart in an effort to make her their bride. The woman has no choice.
There was a recent article of many, many couples all being wed on the same day in the same place who had never laid eyes on each other. I didn't see any happy faces in the picture. Perhaps that is a cultural thing or maybe many if not most of these people will ever be content with their new spouse. There could be some there who loved another, but were not allowed to marry that person
Thanks, but no thanks. I don't like the idea of putting myself on display for possible romance, as you put it. Love is a choice each and every day. If God chooses for me to meet someone that I will love and will love me that is for Him to decide, for now I choose to remain single.
"Disclaimer: SSB is no Eharmony.com"
Oh, my goodness. I just read last night about an Instagram account called "Bye Felipe." The woman posts messages that women receive from guys via dating sites. I couldn't believe some of the creeps out there. I'm thinking I didn't do so bad meeting my husband in a cult. 🙂
I couldn't believe some of the creeps out there. I'm thinking I didn't do so bad meeting my husband in a cult. 🙂
That's really bad if meeting a man in a cult is better than a dating site. I don't even want to know what they said. The really sad part is I've been told it is not any better on Christian dating sites.
"That's really bad if meeting a man in a cult is better than a dating site."
It's been an interesting journey, Brenda. He was raised in the cult, and I joined it at 18. So we are both have different recovery issues. When we first married, I still had my rose colored glasses on about the cult. He didn't. I was excited to raise a family in such a "wholesome" environment . He knew exactly what really went on with the young people who grow up there, and it isn't all good.
He is a sweetheart. He has values and integrity, even if he isn't very religious at the moment.
He sounds wonderful and I am sooooo happy for you. The words Religious and Religion sound too legalistic to me. I prefer to follow Christ and not religion, as such. Don't get me wrong I do attend a church and stay there as I feel I can make a difference even though I don't always agree with what certain leaders and members believe. I pray that you recover well and with the Holy Spirit in your heart.
"I pray that you recover well and with the Holy Spirit in your heart."
Thank you, Brenda. This has taken far more work than I ever imagined.
I've been reading a recovery book that talks about the psychological and social controls that some groups (and families, and one-on-one abusers) use to manipulate people. I realize that God wasn't the problem. He never was the problem. He isn't the problem. But some people can inflict some serious psychological damage.
I think the book is helping. I'm taking my 13-year-old to get her ears pierced this morning. She's pretty excited. I am, too. I'm too stubborn to just give up.

We could always tell same weeping sufferers that God is a holy God and that if they are suffering, they clearly are not 'where they ought to be in God'. They need to get their act together and repent…

I think that might be just as bad as having no empathy. I think I will stick with weeping when others weep, mourning when others mourn and be joyful the rest of the time.
Sorry, but I doubt he would know what manhood is…I taught school in a high school East of Houston in which I broke up fights between 250 lb high schoolers on a regular basis ( Like every other day)
I've rolled on the floor between knot heads fighting more than I care to think of, and you know who always was on the floor helping stop the fight? A 120 lb 5'4″ blonde female geometry teacher….she is more of a man than Piper…
Do you want a face shining light like an angel, irresistible wisdom, fullnes of grace and power? Prepare to die. Stephen
The men with white coats are coming soon.
Brenda, no kidding.
Why would someone tweet that? Why?
Does JP not know that the phrase 'Prepare to die' belongs to Inigo Montoya?
'Prepare to die' belongs to Inigo Montoya?
Yeah, I read the entire story, which isn't very long RE: Stephen after I read that tweet. I don't believe any of it had anything to do with Stephen
Fake Piper missed it by THAT much–
"Fake Piper @FakePiper 7h7 hours ago
Sorry for my prolonged silence. I've been on a social media fast for 40 days after glimpsing a bare female shoulder on Facebook."
New improved version:
"Sorry for my prolonged silence. I've been on a social media fast for 40 days after glimpsing a MUSCULAR female shoulder on Facebook."
Fake John Piper is Jared C. Wilson. You can find him at The Gospel Coalition.
He's a huge fan of Piper's, and Piper thinks it's all so funny.
With social media, today it's easier than ever to take the Lord's name in vain.
Amen Carmen S…"With social media, today it's easier than ever to take the Lord's name in vain." Well versed.
In addition: "and carve idols out of celebrity preachers." Thankfully, all authority belongs to Jesus as quoted by Him in Matthew 28:18-20.
Wilson twittered out at least one offensive tweet under his own name a couple years ago. I think he was trying to be funny.
I don't think Pipers comment on combat is all that difficult and not as disparaging as many commenters are making it seem. The little phrase "if you can" is significant. Here's the jist of it: if someone breaks into my house in the middle of the night, while my wife may be fully capable of handling the situation while I hide in a corner, it is far more appropriate for me, the physically stronger and the one entrusted by God with the care and protection of my family, to be the one meeting the danger head on. I've heard Piper say essentially "it's not that a woman can't do that, but it's more appropriate for a man to bear that burden."
War is ugly, brutal, and violent. And it's more appropriate for a man to bear that burden and protect what the Bible refers to as the "weaker vessel" (not less valuable, talented, or competent, mind you!) and "take the bullets" himself. So if anyone takes a bullet in a break-in in my home, if I can, I will take it and spare my wife and my daughters. Not because they couldn't or wouldn't, but because it's more appropriate, given the option, for me as a husband, father, and the stronger of us, to do so. Does that make sense?

So what you're saying is that Piper is getting even more publicity by all of this.
Brenda R, Piper does seem to draw attention to himself, does he not? Twitter is very important in the YRR crowd. Taking the Lord's name in vain includes anything that results in His name not being respected. Social media in all it's forms contributes to this today, but it is our personal choice to join in with the crowd.
Carmen S., Agree.
Regarding John's comment about John the Baptist's response to the soldiers who wondered what they should do, "be content with your pay" (Luke 3:14) is more powerful than you might think. Soldiers' pay at the time was official (the promise of land, daily food, money) and unofficial (a share of the plunder and rape of a city, things extorted from people while you're living there or passing through).
So when John the Baptist tells them to "be content with your pay", what he's really saying is "you will take no booty of any kind from those around you." Get a certain portion of soldiers following that principle, and you're going to seriously rein in the terrors of war.
Bike Bubba,
Good insight into what John the Baptist was relaying to the Roman soldiers. I know that the Bible stands on it's own, but when we don't realize what was going on at the time its lessons can fall on deaf ears.
Joe Reed,
I don't disagree with all of your comment but think you totally misunderstand Piper. I know many secular men who would rather women not have to fight wars. But with technology and fewer front lines, I see that attitude changing more and more.
However, you totally misunderstand Piper. And I wonder if you have enough experience listening to him and reading him? I know I have for the last 15 or so years when some of my family went to study and work with him and came back so totally changed (and not for the better) we were devastated. They were insufferable.
Think about Piper for a moment and what he teaches concerning women. It would take days to go through it all. Women should not give driving directions that might make it look like they are "teaching or leading men". Women cannot read scripture aloud in mixed worship and so on. Wives should take abuse for a season and so on and on. I won't even get into the horrible scholarship he and Grudem put out there concernign something as benign as Junia. These men have an agenda and are willing to lie to promote it.
Now, let us look at Piper personally. If he weights 100 lbs I would be surprised. he is a tiny man. Very short. Now, logically, if there were an issue where "brute force" were needed for defense, the chances of it being Piper are very slim. JA is tall as am I. If the building were burning down, either one of us would have to save Piper. But he could not save us. See his problem?
Now, if you add a gun to a dangerous situation, the genders automatically beome equal in defensive positions. So Piper has to make such things a "spiritual" distinction and gender caste system. (He never seems to acknowledge Jael. :o) Penis' rule, vaginas submit. That is basically his theology. It is Phallocentristic Christianity and he is obssessed with it. As was Driscoll and Mahaney. A lot of those guys are obssessed with it but many have emulated Piper.
Piper's personal problem has become his doctrine. He needs what he teaches to be true for his own self worth.
If you have heard him use "gender role" examples from his sheltered and lonely childhood, you might understand him better. My mom used to always warn me that whatever pet issue a pastor is constantly focused on— is usually his personal problem.
Lydia, one might argue that with firearms, most women are slightly superior to men because (a) they don't make as many mistakes since they don't think they're John Wayne and (b) they're generally a smaller target that doesn't seek out conflict as much.
"As a rule", of course. And of course when it comes to soldiering instead of basic self-defense, there are any number of other things that are convolved that I won't get into.
But that aside, Patton's quote comes to mind; "No bast**d ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bast**d die for his country." The point of just war is not in effect suicide. It is victory followed by a just treaty for both sides. And that's the primary difference I've got with that tweet of Piper's.
Do you want a face shining light like an angel, irresistible wisdom, fullnes of grace and power? Prepare to die. Stephen

Coil overs are needed in the automobile suspension. They are consisted of shock absorbers with a coil spring encircling it. Prior to installation, the shock absorber and the spring are pre-assembled as one unit and likewise replaced as a unit when the shock absorber has developed leak. The use of coilovers provides for optimal damaging without torsional loads. There are some coil over designs that can be adjusted for ride height and hardness. Adjustable as they are, coil overs and coil over spring kits are significantly designed to give you the look you desire while keeping the quality ride at the same time. They do allow adjustment anywhere from 0' – 4' depending upon on the application.
By using the threaded sleeve that fits over your stock or aftermarket shocks and dual locking perch mechanism, it is possible that you can make necessary height adjustment. Plus, it also allows lowering of your car without changing springs. The threaded body implying that the outside of the strut or shock tubes are threaded like a bolt. The up and down movement of the threaded spring perch to fine tune the ride height and optimize the looks and handling is therefore allowed. Actually, the coil over is a vital component of the MacPherson strut suspension system. This can be distinguished from other arrangements by employing a particular design of anti-roll bar as a longitudinal constraint. This was the start of the widespread use of the coilover in automobile suspensions.
Note however that the term coil over must not be considered as a synonymous term to MacPherson strut arrangement. One more thing, it should not be confused with struts or shock absorber mounted independently. Apexi coil overs are among the famous brand coil overs in the automotive market these days. Parts Train offers Apexi coil overs and other suspension parts that are ideal for replacement. Grab them all only from here!

Making a profit from web marketing requires discipline, knowledge and the commitment to use what you have learned. It will take quite a bit of effort to make really good profits with affiliate promotion. This article contains helpful tips to jump start your endeavors in affiliate promotion.
You nor anyone associated with you should take advantage of the process. This may cause some irritation to your visitors. At worst, this could spread viruses, or break customer tracking chains.
Before you select any affiliate promotion program, you should investigate exactly how each company credits sales that are made outside the confines of the website. If you send sales orders to a company that ultimately take place over the phone or through the mail, and your affiliate ID is not on them, you will not get your commission, which could really add up over time.
If you want to promote your affiliate business, target your specific audience through multiple affiliate sites in your niche. IF you use several affiliate programs dealing with the same product you will have a choice for your customers.
A lot of affiliates end up losing valuable time by having to re-read emails that contain instructions for tasks to be completed. One idea is to extract the important information from an email and save it locally to your machine. This will help you accomplish tasks faster since you will only have to refer to one document.
Sign up with an internet marketing company which always adds new products to it's lineup. If you want to benefit from residual income, find a reputable company that continually releases new products. Products that are fads are not a good idea to advertise.
If you take the time to plan your next move and keep these tips in mind, you are going to see the positive outcome that you were hoping for when you decided to get involved. So make a action plan – including these tips – and get to work!

SEC rejects Madoff claim; investor may sue
Phyllis Molchatsky, who asked the Securities and Exchange Commission to pay $1.7 million in damages resulting from the Madoff fraud, was turned down, according to a report by Reuters today. She had filed the administrative claim soon after Madoff was arrested.
Her attorney, Howard Elisofon, confirmed that her claim was rejected and said he would hold a news conference today to announce future plans. He said that since her claim has been rejected, she now has six months to decide whether or not to sue for damages in federal court. Legal experts called the claim novel because the doctrine of sovereign immunity historically has limited the type of cases that could be brought against the SEC and other federal agencies.
"We had anticipated the SEC either rejecting or ignoring our claim, and nothing here has changed our view that this will be a difficult and uphill legal battle," Elisofon told Reuters. Elisofon is a former SEC lawyer. He also told Reuters that he expects to file similar administrative actions against the SEC on behalf of other Madoff victims.
Madoff investors continue to look for ways to recoup some of the money they have lost. Some are eligible for up to $500,000 by an investor protection group. Others may get assets that are divided by the court-appointed trustee who is trying to pull together assets from Madoff's businesses that could be used to compensate investors. So far, the trustee has only found about $1.2 billion - a fraction of the estimated $50 billion in losses.
Madoff pleaded guilty to criminal charges in March and will be sentenced on Monday. He may face life in prison, even though his attorney has suggested that 12 years would be a sufficient sentence.
Lita Epstein has written 25 books including Reading Financial Reports for Dummies.

We had such a great first BKNY Herbalism & CSA class last week! It was so much fun getting our medicinal herb delivery from Sawmill Herb Farm. We made chickweed tincture, shared burdock root infusion & tincture, and talked about the many ways to work with plants as collaborators in healing. Below is a bit about the plants we received that are also found throughout NYC.
JAPANESE KNOTWEED Polygonum cuspidatum.
Though some consider this plant to be an invasive weed, this warrior plant can help strengthen our bodies and the body of the earth. A member of the buckwheat family, Japanese Knotweed has ability to thrive in toxic soils, drawing out heavy metals and poisons to detoxify damaged land. While it cleanses, Japanese knotweed brings organic matter, shade and moisture where it's needed to support habitat restoration. Over time, revitalizing damaged ecosystems.
The knotweed roots (which we received in our share) have strong immune enhancing capacity. They are high in vitamin C, and are a major source of resveratrol which supports blood vessel health and circulation while reducing inflammation, oxidation and blood coagulation. They are significantly antimicrobial and antifungal, helping to fight off infections such as staph, strep, pneumonia, e-coli, salmonella and candida albicans. Renowned herbalist, Stephen Harrod Buhner writes in his book, Healing Lyme, about the plant's important role against lyme disease. If we pay attention and keep an open mind, we may find what some consider to be invasive species, to instead be powerful allies.
DANDELION ROOT & LEAF Taraxacum officinale
Dandelion is another powerful ally that surrounds us. The entire plant is an edible and medicinal. Dandelion promotes digestion, stimulates appetite, balances the natural and beneficial bacteria in the intestines and is a mild laxative. As diuretic, the plant helps the kidneys clear out waste, salt, and excess water. Dandelion has been shown to improve liver function by removing toxins, re-establishing hydration and electrolyte balance. It increases bile production and reduces inflammation to help with gallbladder problems and blockages. Needless to say, a wonderful spring tonic to awaken and cleanse what we may have stored in the winter. Cleansing within shows on the outside which is why Dandelion is also known to relieve skin conditions.
Dandelion resonates with the 3rd chakra located in the solar plexus. This is the seat of fire in the body where we digest the inner and outer worlds, and either either claim or withhold our personal power. Dandelion can help to activate this energy center and move emotional waste from the body that may be stored there. Dandelion's deep and wide-spreading roots loosen hard-packed soil, and pull nutrients such as calcium from deep within the earth, making them available to other plants whose roots may not go as deep. I made some delicious dandelion salads with the greens we received and made tea and tincture with the roots.
CHICKWEED Stellaria media
Chickweed is an lovely and inconspicuous medicine right under our feet! This valuable, edible green is often embedded in grasses, on lawns, peeking through the cracks of sidewalks and curbsides. Chickweed contains soapy substances, called saponins that emulsify and increase the permeability of cellular membranes. When we consume chickweed, we increase our ability to absorb nutrients and dissolve unwanted matter, including disease-causing bacteria, cysts, benign tumors, thickened mucus in the respiratory and digestive systems, and excess fat cells. Chickweed is especially famous for dissolving ovarian cysts. According to herbalist, Susun Weed, using chickweed to dissolve a cyst is effective, yet requires consistent use of the tincture made from fresh plant material. She writes more about this in her book, Healing Wise. Chickweed is loaded with nutrition and great in salads. This plant is soothing, cooling, great for the skin (I often use chickweed externally, as well).
BURDOCK Arctium Lappa
We shared an herbal infusion of burdock root at the start of class. Before knowing what it was, everyone said that they felt more grounded, embodied and calm. The deep taproot of Burdock is one of my favorite allies to help us ground and plug into the source energy of mother earth. As one of my teachers, Robin Rose Bennett would say, burdock "turns worriers into warriors." I've certainly found that to be true. This talented plant nourishes our kidneys, adrenals, liver, lymph, skin and strengthens immunity. It helps connect us to our innate strength and let go of what no longer serves us. You'll find burdock throughout NYC. Though many here consider this plant a weed, burdock is revered as an important food and medicine through much of the world. I'm drinking a delicious burdock infusion right now.
I'd love to hear about your experiences working with these special plants. Also, in class, some of you asked about books I'd recommend. Below are just some of the many great options. If you're looking for a book, pick maybe one or two that resonate. I'll continue to give recommendations in upcoming blogs.

On the Go Tours Launches Their India Brochure
On The Go Tours, an award-winning tour operator specialising in locally-led group tours and tailor-made holidays to worldwide destinations, has launched their new India brochure for 2017-2018 departures.
On The Go Tours has recently added seven new tours to their Indian subcontinent offering, as well as evolving several existing tours with new locations and experiences.
Travellers can now choose from over 70 tours in India, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Nepal and Tibet, ranging from festival tours in Bhutan to safari adventures in Sri Lanka or active cycling journeys through India.
On The Go Tours has altered the itineraries of eight existing tours, such as Taj Express, to exchange the city of Alsisar for the ancient city of Karauli. In keeping with On The Go Tours' ethos to offer unique and authentic experiences, the change reflects an amazing opportunity for travellers to stay in the recently opened stately palace, Bhanwar Vilas. Guests can explore this extraordinary palace at their own pace or in the company or a very special resident, the Princess of Lucknow. The Princess lives at the palace along with the Maharaja, Maharani and family, and she also restored the nearby Karauli City Palace which is closed to the general public.
The Karauli City Palace rivals Jaipur in its striking and glorious architecture, just on a slightly smaller scale, and the gates are unlocked to On The Go Tours' guests by the royal family. Guests can then roam freely around the guest quarters, reception halls, harem, temples, accommodation wings, kitchen, banquet halls and reception rooms, which is a very rare privilege.
For guests on Delhi tours that encompass a Saturday morning, they will now have the option of an early morning cycling tour of old-Delhi. This fascinating two wheeled excursion shows a different side to Delhi and uncovers hidden gems before the hustle and bustle of the day begins.
The Indian Subcontinent tours range from day trips and city breaks to 18 day journeys, and are suitable for all types of travellers from solo travellers (no sharing and no single supplement on select departures) to families.

Quod populo similique duo te, ea eugaitper in laudem malorum epicuri, quod natum laudem malorum epicuri.
Janet Jackson has given the world a new visual after her 5 year long hiatus. J. Cole appears in the video for the updated version of the legendary songstress' sultry comeback single "No Sleep", and the Dreamville rapper definitely adds a much welcomed rap element to the song. Pretty sure this song will be making waves in no time.

I participated in the annual raptor count on the Skagit and Samish Flats. That is mostly I tagged along with a couple of folks who knew what they were doing. We counted 53 raptors in our section. While doing the count we observed a large flock of Anser casrulescens (snow goose) flying into area a bit west of us just north of LaConner. So after the raptor counting was complete we detoured out to check out the geese. I recently posted on this population HERE.
The vast majority of the geese are mostly white, but there is a gray/blue morph.
The blue phase goose is just to the left of center with head down

Roles of A Health Technology Executive
From electronic records management system, security technologies and a whole lot more technology to boot, the healthcare industry has definitely fully integrated itself on our current innovative world. With that in mind, there have an extremely innumerable amount of changes when it comes to the role of a Health Technology Executive and whether you're one of them or you plan on hiring one in your organization, you'll certainly benefit by knowing what they are really all about.
From the advent of records and data used in Healthcare industry, Health Technology Executives have always possessed the role of managing this numerous information and how they are processed by the institution. This kind of job requires attention-to-detail because in the midst of managing the information, you may also be able to find tons of information that could be beneficial for the betterment of the company and this is where the second role of this position starts.
More than ever, technology has thrived in our society and with that in mind, even Health Technology Executives would have to be attentive with what's the latest technology that could be integrated to the institution. No longer are they passively managing technology because executives of technology today would have to be the trailblazers and shakers of the current industry in order to drive continuous innovation when it comes to rendering healthcare service to clients.
Without a doubt, there would be numerous responsibilities along with projects that the health technology executive has to meet for the healthcare institution and this makes it evident that they should ensure that they hone the proper mindset for this kinds of tasks and that they have sufficient knowledge and skills for the job. You should bear in mind that these executives are more than just your regular employee or head – they are part of the institution's core who'll be responsible to lead the pack among other leaders of the organization and it is their utmost responsibility to make sure that they hone their leadership and management skills in a consistent manner.
Whether you are a health technology executive or you have someone you know who's in this category, it is best that you suggest that person to improve his capabilities in leading and managing by accumulating knowledge from the renowned Raymond Bonnett of West Chester, PA. Just reading his biography, you'll already know that this person is one of the leaders of the entrepreneurial world but what will certainly help you is his way of providing information on how to cultivate the proper mind set of a leader which will surely be crucial in any HTE out there.

IN the past 12 years of my stint abroad as an overseas Filipino worker, never did I think that I will ever face a "death" sentence. Yes a death sentence – not as a consequence of a crime committed but because of having the most dreaded and deadly human disease as cancer! Thousands and thousands of miles away from my immediate family and country, having had to face this life's ultimate ordeal is something, in itself, very debilitating! I thought that I will have to deal only with earning dollars so I can provide the best for my family back home in the Philippines! I was wrong!
I admit that I was really caught off-guard with the shocking diagnosis I received that fateful day of November 16, 2000! Who wouldn't, anyway! Foremost on my mind was not the fear of dying – it came to fore much later as I went through the process of accepting my fate. Ah, the fear I had then!
Who will take care of my ailing mother, old nanny and youngest sister? Who will look after my two children and adopted son? Who will provide the needs of my other siblings? Who will help those breadwinners under my employ? Who will look after the interest of our land which I painstakingly redeemed numerous times from various individuals? I fear the land will go because, sad to say, my siblings' hard-up situation will force them to sell the land. Then my wildest dream of having the happiest and the most beautiful family compound will all go to naught!
Those were the questions I asked then. Of course, they were asked because I thought I will die soon! Funny, really, how the word 'cancer' can make us think immediately of death!
Actually, these very real responsibilities I have, were the ones which helped me fight back and stay convicted to live a long, long life! I tell you, there was once a time when I was in the last thread of hope that I asked God to end my life! Be quick with it, oh Lord, I prayed. Looking back, I strongly believe, that it was the time when I realized that God didn't want to end my life. I strongly believe that He just wanted to shake me and tell me that: "Hey, you've been too much engrossed in helping others that you forgot to help yourself! Wake up and attend to your ailing body and reestablish your priorities in life!"
From then on, I faced my "death" sentence with renewed vigor! I promised myself that I will never, never allow my body to be wasted away by this dragon! As you know, some parts of my body were already removed and lately, as a consequence of another not-so-common human disease named Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) I inherited from my late father, two new bony areas are slowly wasting away. This, of course, along with my fast deteriorating hearing loss, is not connected to the cancer. I understand that some more parts will possibly be involved in the years to come but I don't care! I will fight this monster until the last breath of my life! Even if I have to crawl in order to go to work! I want to be strong and I want to keep my body working for as long as it takes to function!
Since the publication of my article "Woes of an OFW" last December 5, 2000, so many people, known and unknown to me, have sent emails to ask about me. The steady flow of emails I received, especially the ones from the three mailing lists (two were created by me prior to my cancer diagnosis) I subscribe to, actually kept me going and amidst the trials I continuously faced, I slowly emerged from my temporary downfall into a stronger, positive and fighting demeanor!
The initial shock of the diagnosis started to wear off when I began to learn about my disease. The internet suddenly became my ally! I spent the next 10 hours or so, after hearing the bad news from my gynecologist, searching the web.
Leiomyosarcoma – such strange-sounding word! How do you get one, I asked then? Because I remember the doctor told me before that the fibroid is never malignant! Then how come I had a cancerous fibroid tumor? Leiomyosarcoma, or LMS for short, is a very rare form of cancer affecting the soft (smooth muscle) tissues of the body. And according to one of my readings, LMS is known for its high metastatic activity! Oh, my, what now? The tumor was already removed after invading my uterus. Where else can it go, I asked then.
More search and I was finally taken to this mailing list which later has become my lifeline as I struggled to accept my life-threatening ordeal. The mailing list – The Leiomyosarcoma (cancer) Online Support Group – has provided me with accurate information and the latest innovative management for my type of LMS! I really am thankful to God I found the list because it has saved me from having to accept from the not-so-knowledgeable-on-LMS oncologists in Kuwait their standard practice of subjecting a "high grade" cancer patient to chemotherapy and radiation. The caring members of the list warned me that LMS does not, if at all, respond to chemotherapy and radiation.
Another major surgery
Just over a month after undergoing my first ever major surgery – myomectomy, to remove the fibroid tumor from my uterus – I was again wheeled to the operating room last November 29, 2000. The operation, according to my husband, lasted for nearly five hours. The surgeons, after removing my uterus, two ovaries, two fallopian tubes and cervix, took their time in looking into my other organs for possible infiltration of the cancerous tumor. My appendix went, along with a very "suspicious" nodule above my small bowel.
What else did they remove? I remember asking my husband as soon as I regained consciousness. I was informed beforehand, and was made to sign a paper testifying to the knowledge, that the surgeons may remove other organs aside from our previously agreed ones (the whole reproductive organs) if needed. Did they remove my stomach, or part of it? What about my intestines? My liver? My spleen? My gallbladder? My kidneys? My urinary bladder and ureters? Oh my, you should see the expression on my husband's face!
As related by my husband, he had difficulty controlling his tears, when he saw me after the surgery. It was too much for him to take and he wished no other husbands will ever be subjected to the same situation he faced! I was white as a paper, he said, and all kinds of tubes, bottles and bags were connected to my body. He could hardly see my face because of the oxygen mask covering almost all area of my tiny face. I have one large tube connected to my nose; another tube to the right side of my neck (central venous line) where three bottles of solution were simultaneously connected; a tube connected to my left arm where blood was dripping from a bag; a tube on both sides of my lower abdomen where drains from my abdominal cavity were pouring into weird-looking bags; and another tube for draining of urine. A funny-looking object was also connected to my right index finger (was reminded of ET, the movie) which gave off a sound every time my vital signs showed below or above normal. My chest was full of numerous small round patches connected, by tiny wires, to another machine which monitored my heart. And one tiny wire connected to my back – the only tube, in fact, which I welcomed gladly – which supplied my body with pain-relieving medication. In one hour, I was allowed to press the button four times, and the machine will pump the heavenly drug into my system.
I stayed in the Recovery Room (Intensive Care Unit) five days and four nights. By the time I was moved to my room in the Female Ward (of the Kuwait Cancer Control Center), I only had three tubes – the central venous line and the two ones connected to both sides of my lower abdomen for draining out the secretions from inside my cavity.
My saga continues, my dear readers, on the second part of this long-overdue story.

Packard Super Eight Phaeton
One of the most highly regarded American cars of the prewar era, this dignified Packard was used by Argentine strongman Juan Peron and is believed to be the last vehicle in which his wife Evita ever road.
Built by Derham of Rosemont, Pennsylvania, the body features a comfortable rear compartment complete with folding jump seats for occasional passengers.
This car took several months to construct and cost as staggering $10,000. By comparison, the most expensive regular production 1939 Packard was $7,475 and a Ford could be purchased for as little as $625. Its large eight cylinder engine produced 130hp.

New funding for young city volunteers scheme
The Big Lottery Fund has awarded us almost £1m to give more young people the chance to help care for natural places in five cities.
One of over thirty projects to benefit from the £33m 'Our Bright Future fund', the Green Academies Project 2 (GAP2) is based at six of our places.
Involving various local partners, GAP2 will work with people aged from 11 to 24 in Birmingham, south London, Greater Manchester, Newcastle and Wrexham. UpRising, a youth leadership development organisation, will help us deliver the programme.
Proven model
We will use the funds to extend GAP, a volunteering programme which has already been successful in Birmingham. It offers training and volunteering opportunities to young people in partnership with Birmingham City Council's Parks and Nature Conservation department and Birmingham Youth Services.
The programme's volunteers have already given over 20,000 hours of their time, working at our places and local green spaces in Birmingham. They've helped with planting four new orchards and laying over 350 metres of hedgerow.
Volunteer success
Former GAP volunteers have gone on to enjoy careers in horticulture and nature conservation.
Allen Downing, a father-of-two started volunteering with the Green Academies Project (GAP) in 2012. He now works with the landscaping team at Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham.
'I'd got into a rut trying to get work,' he says. 'But it wasn't work I was really interested in. GAP has given me the chance to find out what I do enjoy doing.'
'I feel like I've moved forward as a person. I'm more confident speaking to people. I'm actually being paid to do what I enjoy.'
A movement for change
Our urban green space project manager in Birmingham and leader for GAP2, Dee Whittle welcomes the opportunity to extend the project to other cities.
'Young people can be among the most marginalised groups in our society. With the help of Our Bright Future and our local partners, we have the chance to support more people in England and Wales to shape their local and natural environment.'
GAP2 will be based at:
• Birmingham: Clent Hills and Birmingham City (Back to Backs)
• South London: Morden Hall Park
• Greater Manchester: Dunham Massey and Quarry Bank
• Newcastle: Gibside
• Wrexham: Erddig
Our staff at these places will work with local education, youth and conservation partners to develop the volunteering programmes. They will include opportunities for young people to achieve informal or formal conservation qualifications and activities to engage the wider community with local green spaces.
GAP2 is part of the National Trust's wider efforts to support people to look after the green spaces where they live. Over the coming decade we will be testing ways to connect people to their local green spaces and helping people to play a part in caring for these special places.

"Day 15: I have just descended from the foothills of the Rathe Mountains and entered into the dark jungles of the Feerrott. It seems much longer than 15 days ago that I set out from Paineel. The Temple of the Faceless is close, I can feel it. Soon, if all goes well, I shall be standing before it."
"Day 16: I have made camp for the night. I don't risk lighting a fire, the flesh eating lizardmen would be drawn to it. They will already be on alert when one of their number doesn't return and they find the charred remains of my sacrifice from earlier in the day."
"Day 17: I now stand before the Temple of Cazic-Thule! I am overwhelmed by the dark aura of terror that permeates this place. If what that old crone spoke was true, inside lies the relic I seek. I will possess the Screaming Mace! Now to follow the ancient words that the old troll woman sold me so that I may obtain my prize."
"The Ritual of Blood is to be carried out in order to remove the Screaming Mace from the sanctum. The Four must be sacrificed and their blood drained: the Despoiler, the Cenobite, the Champion, and the Torturer. Forty others of their kin must also share the same fate. The shed blood from all forty and four is then poured into the Basin of Bara'Kur."
"Add to the basin a chalice of water from the Fountain of Fear. Carry the water from the fountain with great haste! Once removed from the fountain the water quickly fouls and will be of no use once it spoils. Once the water is added to the basin a dark glowing sphere will form from the blood."
