Us dog lovers are not usually willing to admit that our sweet baby could ever do anything that someone else would object to, not our dog. So, something like barking all night and keeping the neighborhood wide awake is completely out of the question. Yet there are times when some unknown monster starts the activity and unless you go out there to tend to the matter it will last all night. This could be a really good time to consider buying one of those Bark Collars.
Here are a couple of tips to try before spending money. Simply bring your dog in the house. If you can make it stay quiet indoors, the problem is solved. However, if you are not allowed to have pets in your home, then you need to consider some other option.
There are many reasons why dogs bark, and it is not always due to some monster hiding in the bushes. It can be a matter of being hungry, or needing a drink of water, and sometimes it is just a whole lot of pent up energy that has no place to go, except to bark in an effort to get you to play for the next few hours.
Most of us dog owners come home, spend a few minutes with our dog and then either sit and watch television or get involved in something on the Internet. We should make a point of taking our dog out to run and play to burn off the excess energy and if this new schedule does not work, you have the option of these devices which are supposed to help solve the problem.
Most people think of this type of bark collar which is the static electric shock anti bark collar. The word to notice here is the word static, meaning it delivers a shock like the kind you get when you walk across the room and get shocked when you flip the light switch. It might sting, but it is not known to be deadly. However, when shopping for this kind of training aid, look for one that is internationally accepted. Some of them are not up to world wide regulations.
Another type of bark collar is the sonic anti bark which, of course, makes use of sound waves to distract your dog from barking. Some of these units are actually out of the range of our human hearing, but others might only claim something like being mostly out of the range. Find out before you purchase.
If you are one of the people who is not excited about the other two choices there is the citronella spray collar which sprays when the dog barks and is supposed to distract its attention. If you like the smell of citronella you might be happy with this type of collar.
When considering the use of any of these products please keep in mind that none of these devices are recommended for constant use. They will need to be recharged, so they are not always a solution to an outside dog that barks constantly. However, for those who have the means of making use of these units there are the above choices to consider in bark collars.

Closed Perpetual
Well... yeah. That's not a mistake--I asked for the RPG to be closed late last night after mulling it over for roughly two weeks.
I won't begin to go into the reasons why I think Perpetual failed; suffice it to say that it boils down to the fact that there was virtually no direction given to the players. In hindsight this is something that I foresaw but ignored as far back as December. Honestly, it's a shame, and it gives me some feelings of guilt considering the fact that I, in a way, took a spot away from another RPG that could have actually managed to stay afloat, but it's not something I particularly care to revisit and fix. I apologize to everyone for that.
Regardless, I'm not exactly sad about the way things turned out with Perpetual. For the past few weeks--months, even--I've been growing less and less interested in RPGs, and at this point I have other things that I want to start shifting my attention to, like writing my own, original stories and continuing to improve my voice acting skills. Honestly, after I finish the Daedra Arc in the BZPRPG, and after the eventual end of Rise of the Rockets, I'm not entirely sure I'm going to remain on BZPower for very long--RPGs were what kept my here and they aren't doing it for me anymore.
But, I can't know anything for certain at this point, so I'll leave it at that.
My point here is that Perpetual's gone for a lot of reasons. Love me, hate me, express whatever feeling you wish to express. In the meantime, I'm shifting gear to other things. :\

In my pre-kid life, I never imagined that someday I'd be a stay-at-home mom—hey, I didn't go to grad school to spend my days changing diapers. But when I held my first baby, Mathilda, I had a complete change of heart. As soon as we locked eyes, all those career and financial worries faded. They didn't disappear, but they certainly became secondary.
I have tons of friends with similar experiences. They're not clones—today's stay-at-home mom (SAHM) may be a tattooed rock singer, the CEO of her own company or a green-living activist—but they all have something in common: a deep desire to be there for every moment of their babies' lives—the good, the bad and the unbelievably messy. If you're considering life as a SAHM, both sweet rewards and tough challenges await. Read on for insight and advice from experts and moms who've been in the trenches.
Bye-bye pearls and casseroles— today's at-home mom is...
Launching an at-home business
There are 10.1 million women-owned businesses in the United States, says the Center for Women's Business Research. No firm statistics exist on how many are run by stay-at-home moms, but it stands to reason that the percentage is increasing in the Wi-Fi age. "Over 90 percent of the moms we've interviewed said the desire for family flexibility is the number-one reason they work from home," says Ellen Parlapiano, co-founder of mompreneursonline.com. "Another big change we've seen in the past 15 years is acceptance. In the past, moms have been reluctant to tell clients they work from home. Now it's commonplace, even respectable." Mom-owned businesses, which used to be heavy on arts and crafts, now run the professional gamut, says Parlapiano: Web design, attorney, marketing guru, social media coaching, you name it.
Blogging about her life—and reaching others
Plug "mom bloggers" into a search engine and you'll come up with thousands of SAHMs who chronicle their daily lives online. Moms share stories and tips about single parenting, adoption, home schooling and more. The most popular blogs, like the Pioneer Woman and Dooce, turned their authors into celebrities who rack up book and movie deals. Jen Singer, the New Jersey mom of two who created mommasaid.net, says her blog averages 90,000 views per month; it's not a huge moneymaker per se, but it has led to book deals, speaking engagements and endorsement offers—none of which would have happened in the pre-Internet era. "Mom bloggers are hugely influential because they represent the authentic voices of other moms," says Jennifer James, founder of mombloggersclub.com, a community that's 10,000 strong. Making a living from a blog is tough, she adds, but there are other perks. "Moms who pen really great blogs are heavily courted by brands to review their product," she says. "Some receive thousands of dollars in products each month."
Unapologetic about her choices
A 2007 Pew Research Center survey shows that more at-home moms today (48 percent) consider being home full time the ideal situation than they did 10 years ago (39 percent). Inversely, just 21 percent of working moms say working full time is ideal, down from 32 percent in 1997. "In my research, there seems to be a backlash among the millennial generation; in a sense, they're modeling themselves after their grandmothers, not their mothers," says Susan Shapiro Barash, a women's issues expert and author of You're Grounded Forever…But First, Let's Go Shopping: The Challenges Mothers Face With Their Daughters and Ten Timely Solutions. Many of these young women look at their baby boomer moms and question why they'd want to be them. Some of those moms struggled in their marriages and had a tough time balancing work and family, she says. That doesn't mean today's SAHM has abandoned her career aspirations or traded her BlackBerry for an ironing board, just that she's more concerned about living a balanced life than proving she's Superwoman.
WAHM: The Best of Both Worlds
When I first started working from home 15 years ago, I had never heard the acronym WAHM (work-at-home mom). The landscape has certainly changed; now, instead of "Work versus staying home?" the question for moms-to-be is often "What work can I do from home?" Brooke Hall, who runs a Web design business (brookehalldesign.com) and stays home with her 10-month-old son, Owen, is happy doing both. "I get to be here for the first giggle and step, and yet working from home gives me an identity other than 'mom,'" says the 27-year-old from Dublin, California. "I'm still the same person I was before the baby—partly due to my continuing professional life."
It can be a crazy juggling act on some days, but most WAHMs say the multitasking is worth it. "The best part of the work/kid combination is that I'm not lost and drowning in diapers and plastic building blocks," says Amy McAllister, 23, of Elk Grove, California, who teaches others how to bake and decorate cakes at littleladycakes.com and is studying to be a licensed acupuncturist. "I feel strong as an individual, which makes me a better mother and an even better role model to my 2-year-old son."
To Be a Successful WAHM, You Need:
The right attitude
Working at home is still work, there's just not someone else telling you what to do and when to do it. The key to success is being self-motivated to haul youself out of bed at dawn and get cracking before the baby wakes up—or stay up past baby's bedtime, when you're likely tired too.
A plan
Crossing your fingers and winging it is not enough. "Even before I had kids, I chose a profession that would allow me to stay home and raise children while working on the side," says Melissa Leonard, 37, a New York City etiquette consultant. "I've made it work by taking jobs when it's convenient for me—mostly on weekends when my husband can be at home with our baby."
A support system
Since my husband, Tony, works nights, he was often able to take the babies when I had phone interviews or pressing deadlines. I've also done swaps with other moms, hired baby sitters to fill in during crunch times and kept a stash of exciting new toys to pull out when necessary. (A crinkly orange caterpillar once bought me about 15 minutes of quiet time.)
A realistic schedule
Nap time is almost always work time for WAHMs. "I'd almost hyperventilate running to the computer as soon as I got the kids down—I knew the time would be short, and so I had to make the most of it," says Shelley Hunter, 44, who runs a gift card website (giftcardgirlfriend.com) from her Danville, California, home.
Your own space
Even if it's a tiny corner of your dining room, you need a physical space devoted to work. "I turned a spare bedroom into my office, and it's set up just like any professional space would be," says Angela Halloran, 35, a web designer (boutiquewebdesigns.com) who lives in Noblesville, Indiana. "At the end of each work day, I close the office door and don't open it again until the next morning."
Beyond First Smiles and Steps: What At-Home Moms Love
Lots and lots of flexibility
"As a stay-at-home mom, I have a lot more leeway in my schedule when things go wrong," says Hunter. "When one of my babies got sick, I didn't have to call off work or find someone to watch him." You can also run errands during nonpeak hours—hitting the grocery store, the bank and the gym at 10 a.m. versus the 5:30 p.m. rush or scheduling doctor appointments and haircuts when it's most convenient for you, not your supervisor.
Having a well-rounded life
Being an at-home mom allowed me to take advantage of opportunities that would have been difficult in the 9-to-5 world. If I wanted to have coffee with a nearby mom friend, for instance, we broke out the strollers and went. If I decided to volunteer at a church luncheon, I strapped Mathilda into her BabyBjörn and pitched in. If I felt like taking the baby to the park for an afternoon and playing peekaboo in the grass, I didn't have to clear it with anyone.
Direct-access breastfeeding
At-home moms don't have to worry about toting the industrial-strength breast pump to the office or pumping in the bathroom. "Because I was home with my second baby, I was able to nurse him longer," says Stephanie Burchett, 30, of Pittsburgh. "My older son had asthma, allergies and a ton of ear infections as a baby, but the second one has no major health issues so far—I'm sure breastfeeding longer and being home helped."
"Napping during the day was a huge benefit for me, especially after a wakeful night with the baby," says Sonya Braun, 37, a Winnipeg, Manitoba, mom of three. "Losing a lot of sleep at night takes its toll quickly!"
Time to smell the coffee
(or read Goodnight Moon 20 times a day) "If moms allow themselves to be 'in the moment' with their babies, they find such raw happiness it is priceless," says Darla Shine, author of Happy Housewives and mom of two. "I would give anything to have one hour in the rocking chair nursing my newborns again." The infant stage flies by in a flash, she adds—being at home allows you to savor every day.
Pick Your At-Home-Mom Style
Earth Mama
She grows her own organic veggies, makes her own baby food and, of course, washes her babies' diapers in environmentally friendly suds.
"Every evening, I head out to the garden with my daughter, Sukey. Last summer, we ate a handful of raspberries each night; it was such a sweet thing to do together before she went to bed." -Cassandra Wright, 28, Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania
Churchy mom
Her best friends are moms at Bible study, and family-friendly church events like pot-luck dinners figure prominently in her social schedule.
"Being a SAHM allowed me to plug into the mom's group at our new church, which helped me get connected a lot more quickly. I developed several really strong friendships as a result." —Sonya Braun, 37, Winnipeg, Manitoba
Artsy mom
She always has a project going—whether it's painting a mural for the nursery or selling her custom-made diaper carriers online; being a SAHM seems to inspire her creative side.
"If I didn't dedicate some of my day to creating something—whether it's a quilt, a photography session or a fabulous homemade meal—I wouldn't be as happy." —Nicole Hoxie, 26, Livermore, California
High-tech mama
Nap time is golden for the plugged-in WAHM. She has her laptop next to the nursing pillow, headset ready for a conference call and a pacifier handy at all times.
"Even though I work at home, I can meet my clients face-to-face via Skype; I just try not to schedule meetings when the kids are underfoot." —Leah Humphries, 43, Erie, Pennsylvania
Keeping your sense of self
Just because you're at home doesn't mean your life has to be all baby, all the time. In fact, having a grown-up outlet will make you a better—and happier—mom. Here are some ways to do it:
Find an activity that works with your baby's schedule
Shelley Hunter always loved team sports but found making softball practice tricky with an unpredictable infant. "I signed up for tennis lessons to learn a more flexible sport. I only need one other person, and I can play at any time of the day."
Focus on one specific, nonbaby thing each day
For me, reading a novel (as opposed to yet another baby book) provided an escape and kept me sane through the early weeks and months of motherhood. At the very least, glance at the newspaper every day to keep a little perspective on the wider world.
Have a regular date night (even if you don't have cash for a sitter)
"On Thursday and Sunday nights, my husband and I hang out in the family room," says Hunter. "We make popcorn, watch a show and snuggle on the couch together." Make a rule: Talk about something other than the baby for a certain amount of time. It doesn't have to be hours, 20 or 30 minutes is probably realistic.
Take mini-breaks
Switching gears for even a few moments is refreshing. "When my babies napped, I would take five minutes, sit quietly and enjoy a snack," says Stephanie Vozza, author of Five Minute Mom's Club: 105 Tips to Make a Mom's Life Easier. "It was a little break, but it made a huge difference in my mind-set."

DEAR BELLA: I think my boyfriend's mother is a Soukouyan (witch)Dominica News Online - Wednesday, July 5th, 2017 at 12:06 PM
Dear Bella,
I think my boyfriend's mother is a Soukouyan or a witch. Not the kind that goes flying on a broom at nights but those that cast spells and affect others.
Since my boyfriend and I met, she always had problems with me.
The moment we decided to get married, all kinds of things, such as my past and his past, keep coming up. I have dreamt of her many times. She appeared once like a snake on my bed.
Then I went to her home once and she was literally forcing me to eat her food. It was like she had placed something in there.
Then all of a sudden, she calls him at wee hours saying she's dying. When we went to check on her she has black candles and some weird smelling stuff burning.
Bella, I really think that she is casting spells to ensure that her son and I break up.
What should I do?
Dear Afraid
You were not given a spirit of fear, but of power and a sound mind and Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world.
If this woman had any powers she wouldn't have to be trying so hard to break you and her son up.
The thing about evil doers- (if she is), they are very present in the world.
However, do not ever let yourself succumb to fear of any evil presence and remain grounded in your faith.
Use this situation to bring you closer to the "protector". The way of the LORD is a refuge for the blameless, but it is the ruin of those who do evil.
Do not fret because of those who are evil or be envious of those who do wrong; All you need to do is use prayer as our shield.
Pray for your mother in law that if she is into any black magic that she will not be destroyed by the wrath of God.
Walk in faith.

I'm not sure if she's a witch or not she sounds like one with the laugh and everything. My friend came over to the house with me she said she felt heavy when she walked in the house. As do I when I'm here, my Boyfriend's Mother is definitely trying anything she can think of to keep her son here. I'm going to have to move out on my own cause I can't stand the bullcrap anymore. We're both 27 and they look at us and talk to us like we're 16….It's time for her son to leave the nest and if he doesn't want to move out with me then I hope he figured his crap out. I'm not sticking around…
Rev. Donald Hill. D.D. July 10, 2017
People deny the power of evil (witchcraft and voodoo) for two reasons. (1) Because of ignorance. They simply do not know. Usually these are people who lack the academic qualifications to address the subject and they want to appear educated. (2) Because of fear. Their own fears are put to rest by ignoring the facts and acting as if the evil does not exist.
The reality is:
The Bible (Old and New Testaments) support the belief in evil including the belief in a personal devil, demons,, the powers of witchcraft, etc.
The Christian Church including the various branches of the church and their different denominations have believed in evil for 2,000 years. This belief has been – and is – upheld by church scholars and taught in the big church universities.
Belief in evil is supported by personal experience. I am only one of the many evangelists whose ministry includes deliverance (exorcisms), and seen people set free by The power of God.
Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill.

I happened to see her outside your window last nite, she is real , be careful, don't eat her food nuy , or she will have you posses, get a Haitian girl to cast a spell , you Dom-in the can.
Cowboy, it's ok. God has give us different measures of Grace and faith. The goal is not to kill but it is his will that ALL repent and turn to him! Repentance! God forgives the vilest offender who truly believes in him. You know, i can confidently say that you know the truth……..we all do……..
While we live, we speak, show emotions, display actions…. when we die, the very body lies lifeless! What is this called cowboy? You see, we are a spirit, we have a soul and we live in a body. When we die our spirit leaves the body…it remains lifeless! if the spirit is put back we rise! No! animals don't have a soul!
Now some have been on the moon and on mars but you haven't. You believe them don"t you?
Since i have also experienced salvation of Christ why don't you believe me?
Tell you why? You never searched for the truth!
God's arms are opened Cowboy. Drop the gun and talk to him. He will answer you in whatever way he finds most appropriate!
Praise the name of…
Rev. Donald Hill. D.D. July 8, 2017
I doubt if Bella means to pray that she will be destroyed.
God is not willing that any should perish but that all be saved.
For all who are still lost in their sins please let me share this.
The Bible teaches that we are all sinners by nature and by practice. We are lost and cannot save ourselves.
By suffering, shedding His blood on the cross, and dying for us, Christ paid the price in full for our salvation.
Each one of us must personally believe this. We must receive Him as our Savior. That is what makes Him my Savior in a personal way. Read St. John 1:12, then 1 John 5:11-13. Believe it! Act upon it! By accepting it you have it. Then tell people about it.
At that moment Christ comes into your heart to live and abide forever Satan has no more claim upon you. God has delivered you from the power of Satan, and translated you into the kingdom of His Son
It is His word, He cannot lie Read Colossians 1:12-14 .
Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill.
That man can't even see his own business . His kids all going mad/ crazy and his grandson on trial for "alleged" murder yet he can't heal them or STOP the evil spirits from possessing them. . If you don't believe me go one day and send your brother the next day and I promise he will tell you both the same BS . Talking from experience
Assertive like Moses' rod!
If there is light , there is darkness. If there is good , there is also bad. God is real and satan is real also. Now evil does exist. There are mother's out there who does wickedness to there own children through evil. I am speaking out of experience with my very own mom. And where there is jealousy evil will always be present because jealousy is the root of all evil. But prayer makes a big difference, is through prayers why my mom could not actually do what she really wanted to do which is very sad. Because why would a mother not have a motherly love for her own child to the point where she wants to destroy that child through evil? But my God did not give me a spirit of fear , but of a sound mind. And knowing what i know i just don't go around her.. Because reading the story of David and Saul gave me more confirmation that evil and Jealousy really does exist one don't go without the other. The bible also warns us that we should also be wise like a serpent and harmless as a dove.
I from west coast and I know for fact. There that halve more jealousy and evil set of people holding people back laughing at people and one set will do and they will not talk about it when the poor people do they will talk about it that's why I do not visit back home because of the evenness. That is not no joke.
Good advice from Bella!
A few more thoughts will not hurt you.
Receive Christ a your personal Savior if you have not already done so. St. John 1:12, Revelation 3:20.
If you are living for God the devil cannot hurt you. (a) You have been purchased by the blood of Christ and you belong to Him! (b) On the cross Jesus defeated the devil on your behalf. (c) You have the Spirit of God dwelling now in you. Remember this: The one who dwells in you is a greater one than he
I encourage you to find a Bible believing church, that preaches the gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-4, Romans 1:16) and attend on a regular basis. Read your Bible beginning at The Gospel of St. John, a chapter a day. Let the BIBLE be your guide through life. Take your instructions from the word of God (the Bible).
Be kind to this lady, Pray for her. But do not let her have any influence whatsoever over your life.
Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill.
Rev. Donald Hill. D.D. July 8, 2017
No, no!
Avoid such nonsense. All these superstitions are also part of witchcraft .
It is written
*For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.* (2 Corinthians 10:4)
The weapons we use in the battle against evil are the word of God, the name of Jesus, the blood of Jesus, and our testimony . In my crusade services in North America and foreign lands I use these weapons as the need requires. By the power of God (not my power) people are delivered. Demons crying with loud voices come out of those who are possessed.
But first to use these weapons effectively a person must be a Christian; one who has trusted the blood of Christ to wash his or her sins away according to 1 John 1:7, and received Him as his or her personal Savior.
First you must be delivered from the power of Satan, and translated into the kingdom of his dear Son according to Colossians 1:12-14.
Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill.
I find it ridiculous that you appear to be supporting some superstitious nonsense about evil and spirits. For god's sake Bella you are supposed to be a modern commentator. Please do not help spread such childish superstitions. Dominicans are already too silly/susceptible to believing such nonsensical things. There are no such foolish things in existence. These are stories told to fool children and naive populations. Good god man
Rev. Donald Hill. D.D. July 6, 2017
Not so!
Satan gains his greatest victory when he can get people to deny his existence or be ignorant of his devices.
The Bible (Old and New Testaments) teach the existence of evil and that personified in a spiritual entity we know as the devil).
Personal experience confirms this is a reality.
American evangelist Dr. Billy Graham was preparing one day to preach a sermon about the devil in a nightly crusade service to thousands of people when his typewriter burst into flames. How often does that happen
Psychiatrists have examined patients who were believed to be possessed and gone on record as saying they could find no medical cause for their problem. A prominent psychiatrist in one city sent a patient to a pastor friend of mine to receive ministry. I knew the psychiatrist because he had attended one of our city wide services. The doctor briefly addressed the congregation that evening quoting from the Bible, *Man shall not live by bread alone.*
Sincerely, Rev…
\"Dark\" not \"Black\" magic…
There is a racial difference… The white ones were the ones who decided that \"black\" is evil; hence \"Black Magic\"…
In ancient times the original name, translated to english, is \"of fallen grace\", \"Dark Magic\", \"evil spirits\"…etc
This is also partially a reason why slavery was considered.
So please state Dark next time…
Nonsense. It is all a psychological effect. It has been shown people can actually be so traumatized by believing such nonsense it actually manifests as a real physical ailment. There are no such things as evil spirits (or good spirits for that matter) here. Just physiological and placebo effects. We really need to move past such silly belief systems.
Rev. Donald Hill. D.D. July 7, 2017
Not so.
We have known babies, and even animals to be effected by witchcraft and evil curses which shows it could not be the placebo effect.
In one place where I was pastoring a church I was informed that there was a coven of witches congregating nearby and a large number of witches in the area. I had a weekly radio broadcast from a station in a neighboring city covering a wide area in Canada and the U.S.A. I went on the air and challenged the witches. You have no idea the battle that followed in the spiritual realm.
Within the next month I blew out the engine in my car three times.
I learned valuable lessons. It was a new battlefield for me. I was not prepared. Now I am better equipped. Yes, my friend. Evil is real. Please read Ephesians 6:10-17. If possible read this passage of scripture in The Living Bible.
Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill.
Whether it is a fake report or not, this situation is real! If we cannot accept the fact that there is evil, then we are in danger in our belief in Jesus Christ! This is all because if we don't believe that there is evil, we will have no need for seeking protection from the almighty.
Many of us gamble our lives here on earth for the things we can see like beautiful vehicles, lots of money, multiple women/men, and the pride of life. Do you know that everything there in belongs to God? Think about it! The buildings we live in are made of cement, steel, paint, water, glass, sand and stones. marbles from rocks, and we add value to it. Gold, silver,,,,, we mine.
What does God need here if he made them all?
Well i know for certain that we have a free will which he lets us decide and there we have his interest! Our soul! Satan also wants our soul but the difference is, God has good plans for us and he wants us to come willingly while Satan uses deceit and lies.
Satan wants revenge for his mistakes which are irreversible because there is a salvation plan for Humans but none for him and his demons. So you see? He cannot destroy the creator but he seeks to destroy creation through our wild decisions. When we go against God's will for us, we grieve him deeply! Literally!
There is one thing i have come to realize is that he is very merciful! He does not remain angry for a long time and is always willing to help those who is ready to accept him.
An angel or more is assigned to everyone unless we sell our soul but when we live an unrighteous life having no relationship with God, how can God help?
the power he gave us lie in his word and the debt was paid in full on the cross. It is all in the bible.
We can use these words to chase Satan away and live our rightful place in him but he must have his way in us first!
If satan has certain access before God how about us in his own likeness and image? he loves us and is waiting…
How do we reject someone who has bled 7 times before his death? Praying with hurt where sweat was as blood, basically saying, (father if this cup can be taken please, however let your will be done) His beard was plucked out and pulled, he was whipped with leather whips which had about 20 strands and nails at the ends, which reaped flesh and exposed bones. Isiah and Psalms. (don't you dare tell me that i am exaggerating!) A crown of thorn was placed on his head.. Of course it pricked him through his torture! His back bruised with carrying that heavy wood. His hands and feet were pierced with nails to that cross. He gasped for 6 hours on that cross for whom? for us.
His side was pierced and blood and water ran down.
Tell me. Which one of us would do this for another person?
Glory to God he won the victory and gave Christians the authority who are very asleep now. Lazy! wake up!
Now is the time! look around you! that's your responsibility!
Awe Jesus i praise you!
Analy. I genuinely feel sorry for you . I am sure you are an otherwise intelligent person but the amount of superstition you build your life upon is mind blowing. It will no doubt take the world hundreds of years to rid itself of such archaic, preposterous beliefs. I am not sure we will survive the journey to that time – witness the havoc ISIS and the other superstitious nut jobs are wreaking on the world. We mock them, but just think about how many soukoyahs we in DA would probably happily kill in the name of Jesus. Sheesh
Comment from a Facebook post:
\"Pray for your mother in law that if she is into any black magic that she will not be destroyed by the raft of God.\"
Dear Bella – what is this \'raft of God\' and why does he go around destroying people with it? It\'s meant for water sports, not retribution.
I want you to know that the God whom we serve does not take pleasure in destroying people! Psalm 103: 9-17 speaks of God's mercy, that he does not keep his anger for long and his mercy is from everlasting to everlasting. In fact, his arms are open to those who seek refuge in him … those who are willing to turn from rebellion …those who want to repent…..
God has perfectly planned our salvation and every debt is paid in full by Jesus Christ but we must accept him and live as he has commanded. I am thinking that God would love a witch to repent and turn to him! It's the sin that he hates; however, we must not continue living in sin and take him for granted because there is a time when he says ENOUGH!
He can say it because Psalm 115:3 says that God does as he pleases. He is God and he has created us for his pleasure!
Do you know why?
It is because he was this great I AM with all those attributes, savior, holy, healer, redeemer, healer…… so in creating us he would be able
continuation: to show who he is! He knew that we would fail so when we failed, we would look up to him and trust him and say"save me! or heal me!" and he would gladly show his love and mercy! Why us? because though angels were created before us, they are ministering beings. They can praise but they do not have the capacity to love back. They do the service of God! They excel in strength hearkening to his word!
Also when we blaspheme against God, he takes it seriously! I will let you read that for yourself!
He is not to be taken lightly! he is no joke because all three God heads are persons with feelings!
Most importantly, God wants everyone to be saved BUT we have a choice.
Would you take anyone in to live with you? Why then should he allow anyone to dwell in his holy place? We must prove ourselves by believing in his son and his word! the Holy Spirit will Guide us!
Just talk to him. He is not death!
Glory to God!

1-1/2 c butter, unsalted
2-1/4 c sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1 c flour
1 c cocoa
1/2 tsp salt
1-1/2 c prepared icing
1 package candy melts or similar
30, 5 or 6 inch lollipop sticks
What to do
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan.
- Over low heat, melt butter in a saucepan.
- Add sugar and stir until well combined and some sugar dissolves. It will still be thick and 'sugary' looking.
- Cool the mixture to room temperature.
- Place in large mixing bowl.
- Add eggs one at a time and beat until well combined- about 4 minutes.
- In another bowl, sift together.
- Add dry ingredients to butter mixture and stir until just combined.
- Pour batter into pan and smooth with spatula.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes.
- Don't over bake!
- Cool completely before moving on.
- Once cool, crumble brownie into large chunks and place in food processor. You may want to do this in batches.
- Pulse brownies until it has consistency of grainy sand.
- Place in large bowl.
- Add 3/4 c of icing and mix until well combined. You may have to add a bit more. You need the mixture to hold together when rolled into a ball. But try not to add too much or pops become too sweet.
- Refrigerate mixture preferably overnight but at least 2 hours.
- To make a heart shape I used one half of a boiled egg shaper for bento boxes. But you could also use a small cookie cutter or shape them by hand. They shouldn't be more than a couple of inches in size.
- Place hearts on a cookie sheet and refrigerate again for a few hours or overnight.
- Melt your candy melts according to directions.
- Dip one end of lollipop stick into melted candy.
- Place dipped stick into bottom of heart...about 2 cm deep.
- Dip heart while holding onto stick into melted candy to cover heart completely.
- Place cake pop stick end into styrofoam or place in a heavy glass so they can dry.
- Once candy is dried, use a food writer pen or icing in a decorating bag with a thin tip to write your messages.
- Dry as in previous method or place on cookie sheets until ready to eat.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - Gov. Sam Brownback and Attorney General Derek Schmidt want to crack down on those who sexually exploit children.
In a Statehouse news conference Friday, they detailed legislation creating the new crime of commercial sexual exploitation of a child.
Schmidt says the proposal would increase the fines for those who are purchasing sexual services in Kansas and promoting prostitution of persons under the age of 18.
"This is not inconsequential conduct. It's not a matter for people to do what they will do in the privacy of their own homes," Schmidt said. "This is about sexually exploiting Kansas kids for commercial gain and it is a serious crime."
The bill also establishes the Human Trafficking Victim Assistance Fund. Money would come from mandatory fines on those convicted of human trafficking and related sex crimes. The bill also sets up special Child in Need of Care procedures for children who've been victims of human trafficking and speeds expungement for those convicted of selling sexual relations if they were coerced.
The measure will be introduced next week in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Schmidt's office is the lead entity of the Kansas Human Trafficking Advisory board, which was created three years ago to study the problems of forced labor and sex trafficking.
Complete news release from the Governor's office:
Topeka - Kansas Governor Sam Brownback and Attorney General Derek Schmidt today announced they will ask the Kansas Legislature to strengthen the state's human trafficking statutes, with an emphasis on protecting children from commercial sexual exploitation.
"With this important legislation, Kansas will take great strides forward in the fight against modern-day slavery," Gov. Brownback said. "This will not only strengthen our ability to severely punish traffickers, it will give us valuable new tools to protect vulnerable young victims so they can have hope of a new life."
In developing the proposed legislation, the Governor and Attorney General sought input from law enforcement agencies, social service providers and key stakeholders.
"This proposal will significantly strengthen our ability to protect Kansas children from sex traffickers," Attorney General Schmidt. "It will put in place a strong foundation to support child victims and to break the cycle of exploitation."
The bill establishes a Human Trafficking Victim Assistance Fund to provide support for those victimized by human trafficking. The fund will be paid for through mandatory fines on people convicted of human trafficking and related sex crimes. The bill also provides for special Child in Need of Care procedures for children who have been subjected to human trafficking and expedites expungement procedures for those convicted of selling sexual relations if they were subject to coercion.
A new crime of Commercial Sexual Exploitation of a Child is created in the bill, increasing the penalties of the existing crimes of patronizing a prostitute and promoting prostitution of persons under the age of 18. Increased penalties and sentencing enhancements are included for a number of other related crimes.
The bill also includes additional training and tools for law enforcement to combat human trafficking. It will be introduced in the Senate Judiciary Committee next week.

The Camp Terror System: Block 11 Basement Containing Cells
Block 11 was strictly isolated from the rest of the camp. Here were detainment, starvation, suffocation, and stand-up cells. For a painting that brings this to life see [link].
"Trials of [the poison gas, hydrogen cyanide] for killing people were begun in the summer of 1941, in the basement of Block 11 (at the time number 13). An unknown number of Soviet POWs were killed in one of the windowless basement chambers. Here is Broad's recollection of the event: 'One day corpses of Russian POWs were dragged out of a dark cell. As they lay in the yard, they looked strangely bloated and had a bluish tinge, though they were relatively fresh. Several older prisoners who had been through World War I remembered seeing corpses like that. Suddenly they understood... gas!...' "*

iOS 7 wasn't the only star of the show at WWDC 2013, OS X 10.9 Mavericks was officially announced and released to developers the very same day. During the keynote we saw the numerous new features that would be coming to the new version of OS X, including some until now iOS exclusive apps in Apple Maps and iBooks, and a consumer friendly approach to password management with the new iCloud Keychain. But, we want to hear from you guys; what are you most looking forward to in OS X 10.9 Mavericks?
There's a lot to choose from too; improvements to Notification Center, Apple Maps and iBooks coming to the desktop, Finder tabs and tags, iCloud Keychain and the new version of Safari, multiple display support and so much more besides. So, we've narrowed down a few, with an option for something else entirely. We got some great feedback from you on iOS 7, so now it's time to take a look at OS X 10.9! Drop a vote up top and leave us your thoughts in the comments below!

We spend so much time dreaming about that first Super Bowl win. Now we can feel it getting closer. Hell,it'll probably happen this year. But what happens when our team does win it all?
Will being a Seahawks fan be as magical? Will we, as fans, be as hungry? After the ultimate goal is crossed off the list, will the yearly pursuit of the championship feel as intense and worthwhile? I feel like after that first championship.. some of the magic might be gone.
Winning it all might be a biiiittersweeeeet... Symphonyyyyy...
Deep philosophical thoughts aside, LET'S WIN US A DAMN CHAMPIONSHIP!

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – The Georgia College baseball team (20-13, 11-6 PBC) battled through two tough contests with North Georgia (16-16, 6-12 PBC) Sunday at John Kurtz Field, losing game one 10-5 and rebounding for a 14-10 win. With the split, GC takes the three-game set from the Saints 2-1.
The Bobcats jumped out to a 4-1 lead after two innings in game one, but it wouldn't hold. The Saints dominated the remainder of the game 9-1, getting multi-run innings in the fifth, seventh and ninth innings.
For GC, shortstop Tanner Funk (Kearney, Mo.) was 2-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI, while second baseman Jeremy Donaldson (Winder, Ga.) matched those numbers. First baseman Karsten Strieby (Blair, Was.) and leftfielder Clay Ardeeser (Loganville, Ga.) each had two hits, Strieby scoring twice and Ardeeser once.
Lefty starter Mike Guinane (Glenview, Ill.) took the loss (1-5) in 6 1/3 innings of work, while Saints starter Blake Hobby (5-2) worked eight innings for the win. Saint first baseman Matthew Black was 4-for-4 with six RBI, swatting a three-run home run in the ninth.
Game two was a hitter's duel, the teams combining for 32 safeties and 24 runs. GC was up 10-6 after four innings, but in the fifth the Saints responded with four runs to tie it up. Catcher Cody Maas (Alpharetta, Ga.) had a sacrifice fly in the bottom half that would prove the difference, as reliever Zack Hula (Kennesaw, Ga.) came in to throw four scoreless innings to close the game out.
Hula (2-0) entered in the fifth, gave up the hit to tie the game then stifled the Saints, allowing just two hits over the final four innings for the win. He tossed 4 1/3 innings of three-hit shutout ball, tallying three strikeouts. The loss went to North Georgia reliever Phillip Taylor, as he fell to 1-2.
The Bobcats had six multi-hit performers, with second baseman Seth Bancroft (Sugar Hill, Ga.) leading the way at 3-for-5 with a triple, two RBI and a run. Leftfielder Josh Young (Lake Havasu City, Ariz.) had three hits in six trips, driving in two and scoring one while also hitting a triple. Funk also had three hits, going 3-for-5 with two RBI and a run.
Donaldson was also busy as the designated hitter in game two, blasting a home run as part of his 2-for-5 day with three RBI and a pair of runs. Strieby and rightfielder Bryce Williams (Manhattan, Kan.) each had two hits, Strieby scoring three runs and Williams a pair.
The Bobcats improve to 11-6 in Peach Belt Conference (PBC) play, owning the top slot in the league's West Division by two games in the loss column over No. 26 Columbus State University. The top four in each division advance to the PBC Tournament May 9.
The Bobcats hit the road Tuesday, April 3 at 5 p.m., playing at Young Harris College, who will join the PBC in 2012-13.

locates classes that implement a given Java interface
The Discovery Component is about discovering, or finding, implementations for pluggable interfaces. It provides facilities instantiating classes in general, and for lifecycle management of singleton (factory) classes.
Fundamentally, Discovery locates classes that implement a given Java interface. The discovery pattern, though not necessarily this package, is used in many projects including JAXP (SaxParserFactory and others) and commons-logging (LogFactory). By extracting this pattern, other projects can (re)use it and take advantage of improvements to the pattern as Discovery evolves.
Discovery improves over previous implementations by establishing facilities for working within managed environments. These allow configuration and property overrides without appealing to the global System properties (which are scoped across an entire JVM).

Septuagenarian Couple Scammed Inns And Hotels For Four Years
The next time you stay at a bed and breakfast and you see a kindly old couple lingering in the common room after breakfast, be suspicious! The Wolffs have been scamming inns, hotels, rented homes, and bed & breakfasts since 2005, reports the Boston Globe. They offer to pay via check, and until recently–when they stayed in one place so long that they were still around when the check bounced–nobody ever thought they might be pulling a fast one. They're due in court this month for defrauding several inns over the past summer.

Programs by Campus
Vision Science
School of Optometry
Departmental E-mail: opt [at] indiana [dot] edu
Departmental URL: www.opt.indiana.edu
Degrees Offered
Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy
Program Information and Requirements
The Vision Science Program is designed primarily for students wishing to prepare themselves for teaching and research in the sciences that relate to vision.
Admission Requirements
Course requirements are flexible to accommodate students with interests in vision science but with varying backgrounds. A bachelor's degree (or equivalent) is required. Course work with appropriate laboratories in the following areas is strongly recommended: optics, computing and engineering, physics, biology, mathematics through differential and integral calculus, statistics, and psychology of sensation and perception.
Degree Requirements
Students must demonstrate breadth of knowledge in vision science. This requirement is normally fulfilled by completion of 700 and V701with a minimum grade of B in each course.
Each semester, students are required to register for and participate in the weekly vision science seminar (V765) known as "Oxyopia." Participation implies that the seminar will be taken for credit and that the student will make a presentation. Students must complete ethics training, usually fulfilled by completion of V792.
Students commence their research training by joining an ongoing research project directed by a faculty member chosen by the student. The research topic will be formulated in consultation with the faculty member and an advisory committee. The topic may or may not be in the same field in which the student expects to do dissertation research.
Master of Science Degree
Course Requirements
A total of 30 credit hours is required, of which 15 credit hours must be didactic hours in vision science (or approved substitutes), generally excluding seminars. Students holding the O.D. degree or enrolled concurrently in the O.D. and M.S. programs may accelerate progress by receiving up to 4 graduate credit hours completed in the optometry curriculum. Students must complete courses that satisfy knowledge base in statistics, research design and vision science.
Research Requirements
Candidates must submit a written research report by the end of the first year in residence. Students enroll in a minimum of 3 hours of research credit per semester. A thesis research proposal must be submitted and approved by the end of the first year of study.
Doctor of Philosophy Degree
Course Requirements
A total of 90 credit hours is required, of which 30 must come from didactic courses with grades of B or higher. Students holding the O.D. degree, or enrolled in the O.D. program, may apply up to 6 credit hours to this requirement of 30 didactic credit hours. When the grade point average of a student falls below 3.0, the student is placed on academic probation.
During the first year students will complete two Vision Science survey courses (V700 and V701).
Students will select at least one minor subject in any relevant field of study, subject to approval by their advisory committee. The requirements for the minor are determined by the department or program offering the minor. A specialized inter-departmental minor is also possible, if approved by the University Graduate School before classes are taken.
Vision Science Ph.D. Degree requirements:
In order to ensure adequate progress toward the Ph.D. degree, all students must achieve the following milestones at the end of years 1, 2, and 3 of the program.
Advancement to Second Year exam: At the end of the first year in the program each student must pass a written examination covering a wide selection of vision science topics in order to advance to the second year of the program. By this time, students should also have demonstrated an appropriate command of spoken and written English.
Advancement to Third Year: By the end of the second year all students should have identified the area of study and the specific experiments that will eventually constitute their Ph.D. thesis. This requirement will be met by submitting a formal abstract describing the proposed experiments to the Graduate Program coordinator. This abstract must be accompanied by written approval of the Ph.D. advisor.
Advancement to Candidacy: By the end of the third year, each student must complete a written and oral qualifying examination. These examinations are administered by the student's advisory committee. The written component is the dissertation proposal, and can be in the form of a grant application. The requirement of 30 credit hours of didactic course work must be fulfilled before the qualifying examination. After successful completion of the qualifying exam, each student will be advanced to candidacy for the Ph.D. degree. Participation in the Ph.D. program will be terminated if a student fails the qualifying examination twice.
The final milestone is completion of the dissertation.
Completion of Dissertation: After completion of the written dissertation, it is presented and defended at a scheduled seminar meeting. The dissertation must be approved by the student's research committee. The student is responsible for submitting the final approved dissertation to the University Graduate School.
The University Graduate School (UGS) provides a guide to the preparation of theses and dissertations. Related forms may be acquired from the IU School of Optometry Office of Student Administration.
Teaching: All doctoral students are required to participate in teaching, usually in the second or third year of their program.
Ph.D. Minor in Vision Science
Students from other departments who wish to minor in vision science should complete V700 and V701, Introduction to Vision Science I and II, and at least one other course from the following group: V705, V723, V754, V783, and V791.

There is good news concerning the fight against the virus that causes AIDS.
Testing for the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, HIV, is easier and faster, treatment drugs - especially when administered early - offer much better outcomes, and education efforts have made people better informed concerning risk factors.
The bad news?
A "no, not me" mentality is still pervasive and not everyone understands that testing is the frontline against a virus that can affect, well, most anyone.
Risk factors are not limited to our own choices regarding sex and drug use but also to choices made by those we choose to be with - and their contacts, and their contacts, as well.
As ICAN Director of Education and Prevention Dan Mitton said this week, "All of a sudden you are high risk, and you don't know it. If you come into contact with risk factors, it doesn't hurt to be tested once."
We agree.
As part of National HIV Testing Day, the Lee County Health Department will offer free testing at additional locations next week. Times and locations are:
- Today, June 27, 10 a.m. - noon, Lehigh Community Services, 201 Plaza Dr. # 3, Lehigh Acres
- Today, June 27, 9 a.m. - noon, All Souls Church, 14640 N. Cleveland Ave., North Fort Myers
- Friday, June 29, 4-7 p.m., Walgreens, 4204 Palm Beach Blvd., Fort Myers
In addition, the agency also offers free testing daily at its North Fort Myers clinic at 83 Pondella Road. Hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 1 to 5 p.m. Friday. Appointments are suggested but not required. Call 239-656-2542.
ICAN also offers free daily testing, with results available in as little as 15 minutes, at its offices at 2231 McGregor Blvd. in Fort Myers.
The rapid test, which uses just a finger-prick of blood, is offered Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Tuesdays and Fridays from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
As with the Health Department, walk-ins are welcome, but a phone call ahead, to 239-337-2391, is recommended.
It doesn't hurt to be sure. We can't say the same about the alternative.
Consider it preventative medicine.

Brian O'Donnell
Brian O'Donnell has been sharing his love of music on the radio since the early 1970's. He is a true public radio renaissance man hosting classical music on 90.9 WGUC weekday mornings; contributing music and arts features for 91.7 WVXU's Around Cincinnati program; and hosting Saturday Morning with Brian O'D on WNKU. Musicians, artists and community arts leaders regularly stop by to record interviews with Brian— from Jaime Laredo with the Linton Music Series, or J.R. Cassidy from the Northern Kentucky Symphony, to a curator of an exhibit at The Cincinnati Art Museum, or a soloist in town to perform with the CSO, his relaxed style puts everyone at ease and lets their story come through.
Listeners always ask "Do you like getting up that early?" His response, "Yes, I do, but I pay for it in the middle of the day, when I feel like a zombie. I love the early morning, whether I'm at work or not. Being up before almost everyone else gives you a different perspective on the day... and there's a certain solitude about it. It is much different than STAYING up until the wee hours, and I've done my share of that, as well."
