The Infinity of God
New Perspectives in Theology and Philosophy
Chapel Hill, NC:University of Notre Dame Press, December2018.444 pages.$75.00.Hardcover.ISBN9780268104139.For other formats: Link to Publisher's Website.
Review by Christian Hengstermann forthcoming.
Two questions regarding contemporary theological and philosophical studies are often overlooked: "Is God infinite or finite?" and, "What does it mean to say that God is infinite?" In The Infinity of God, Benedikt Paul Göcke and Christian Tapp bring together prominent scholars to discuss God's infinitude from philosophical and theological perspectives. Each contributor deals with a particular aspect of the infinity of God, employing the methods of analytic theology and analytic philosophy. The essays in the first section examine historical issues from a systematic point of view. The contributors focus on the Cappadocian Fathers, Thomas Aquinas, Leibniz, Kant, Hegel, Bolzano, and Cantor. The second section deals with particular issues concerning the relation between God's infinity and both the finitude of the world and the classical attributes of God: eternity, simplicity, omnipresence, omnipotence, omniscience, and moral perfection. There are some books that deal with the notion of infinity in mathematics and in general philosophy, but no single text brings together the best analytic philosophers and theologians tackling the various aspects of the infinity of God and the correlated problems. This book will interest students and scholars in philosophy of religion, theology, and metaphysics.
Contributors: Benedikt Paul Göcke, Christian Tapp, Franz Krainer, Adam Drosdek, William E. Carroll, Christina Schneider, Ruben Schneider, Robert M. Wallace, Bruce A. Hedman, Bernhard Lang, Richard Swinburne, Kenneth L. Pearce, William Hasker, Paul Helm, Brian Leftow, Ken Perszyk, Thomas Schärtl, and Philip Clayton.

A review that originally appeared in The Third Alternative #29:-
Geoffrey Farrington
Dedalus pb, 245pp, £7.99
Farrington's 1983 novel, reissued by Dedalus and with an introduction by Kim Newman, pretty much follows in the footsteps of Anne Rice, while studiously avoiding use of the V-word.
The book is the testimony of John Richard Le Perrowne, an unhealthy young man with morbid tastes, who is turned into a vampire by one of his ancestors. Having learned how to control his bloodlust and rejected the philosophy of his peers, who see humans simply as foodstuff, John roams the world for decades in Helena's company. Her death at the hands of a priest gives new urgency to his existence, and after a botched stab at revenge he sets out in search of the fabled Master-Revenant, the one who can give meaning to his unnaturally prolonged lifespan.
There's not a lot to be said about this. It's the usual angst ridden vampire schtick made so popular by the success of Interview, well written and avoiding a lot of the post-Dracula clichés, as Newman points out in the introduction, but ultimately a case of been there, done that and spilled blood on the T-shirt. What was fresh and new in 1983 now seems old hat. New Vampire has become as anodyne as New Man, apparently unaware that there's nothing more pretentious than soul searching when you're not supposed to have a soul. I prefer Buffy, where in the main the vampires are blood sucking fiends and the humans are appropriately 'grateful'.

He seems to be like an underwater vampire. One other carnivorous sea animal is the deep-sea lizardfish. These fascinating fish look almost like a short snake in water. Their mouths are lined with harpoon-tipped teeth that grasp their prey and don't let go, just like a fish hook. These teeth are hinged in order that they will flattened down when prey goes in and stand up when resisting. They don't even must actively swallow; the struggling prey simply ratchets itself inside.

Voting rights and Australian local democracy
Section 256 of the Local Government Act 1993 (Tas) is a curious provision. It indicates that, at any given election for a municipal area in Tasmania, any given voter 'has no more than 2 votes'. This provision is designed to facilitate a franchise based partly on property qualifications, and in which plural voting is explicitly allowed. It may seem extraordinary, in the 21st century, that such a franchise may be found in Australian law. But Tasmania is not an outlier. Indeed, in five of Australia's six states, local government franchises include property qualifications, votes for corporations, and various forms of plural voting.
This aspect of Australian local government has been touched on before in the political science and public administration literature and in local government scholarship. Occasionally, there is high profile public discussion of individual instances of this phenomenon, especially with respect to the City of Sydney. But the City of Sydney is just one example of a much broader understudied phenomenon. There is no existing comprehensive nationwide catalogue and analysis of the legislation that underpins this phenomenon.
This article fills the gap in the literature by providing an analysis of legislation across the country. Part II provides a concise overview of the historical context in Britain and in Australia. Part III is the central contribution of the article, describing and analysing the legislation across the six Australian states. Part III is designed to accurately convey the complexity and lack of uniformity of local government franchises within and across the states. While this article's primary goal is to analyse the legislation as it stands today, in Part IV I outline the case for reform of voting rights at local government elections. The argument developed in Part IV is that, whenever some voters have more votes than others, there will be concerns about inequality. More precisely, there will be concerns that property owners and business owners are afforded a greater democratic say than other voters in determining the direction of a significant element of Australia's system of government.

Sharon will release her solo album as well!
As we well known, the latest Within Temptation album, Hydra has been released in 2014, which has a huge success worldwide. The band set off on the end of the long tour and return in next year with their new album.
Additionally, the singer Sharon den Adel was working on her first solo album, which was named My Indigo and will be release next year.
The vocalist revealed in an interview that she was in a crisis to re-love the ensemble she founded, because doubts were hurting the future of the team or whether they wanted to remain their singer.
Fortunately, the storm clouds have disappeared and everything has been restored, as WT has already announced their 2018 European Tour, which will honor them on December 12 in Hungary and will have a huge party in Budapest's Tüskecsarnok.

OGDEN — Two women were found dead in an Ogden home early Tuesday morning after "an apparent murder-suicide," police said.
Officers responded to a request for a welfare check at 1627 27th St. about 2 a.m. When they arrived at the home, officers found 31-year-old Bianca Villalobos and her mother, 63-year-old Maria Villalobos, shot to death inside the residence, according to an emailed statement from Ogden Police Lt. Brian Eynon.
Officials believe the deaths were the result of a murder-suicide, but the investigation is still ongoing. Police did not release details about who they believe may have shot the other.
Friends became concerned for Bianca Villalobos when she didn't show up for work, Eynon said. Neighbors then began to wonder why they hadn't seen her or her mother, which led police to complete a welfare check.
Police found no sign of forced entry or that anyone else was in the home.
"It's tough because we're still early on in the investigation trying to determine, you know, why something like this would happen?" Eynon said.
Officials said they have no records of being called to the Villalobos' home in the past and are continuing to investigate a motive.

Trying For Low cost Houses In UK
I feel most individuals would agree that the easiest way to purchase an affordable house is to purchase from government foreclosures auctions. In the United States eleven 12 and Canada, thirteen a generally accepted guideline for housing affordability is a housing value that does not exceed 30{1966b833e8949b7cb19448f769c0b1e4bc1c8f5ff51b4024f07fcb0a580aeb46} of a household's gross revenue Canada, for instance, switched to a 25{1966b833e8949b7cb19448f769c0b1e4bc1c8f5ff51b4024f07fcb0a580aeb46} rule from a 20{1966b833e8949b7cb19448f769c0b1e4bc1c8f5ff51b4024f07fcb0a580aeb46} rule in the Nineteen Fifties.
Inexpensive rental housing is housing with rents equal to, or lower than, average rates in the private-market. Where two houses are the same price, we've decided that the one with the most bedrooms is least expensive. On common a home in Delfzijl value 141.000 euros in 2017.
The issues are additionally very real ones: the continual scarcity of reasonably priced housing, the scandal of unoccupied homes. Because of the cheap rent, many low-revenue folks settle in. It has become a type of inexpensive housing for social disadvantaged groups.
Housing is considered to be 'reasonably priced' when households who rent or have mortgage repayments are in a position to meet these costs and still have ample income to pay for other primary needs resembling meals, clothing, transport, medical care and education.
– Densification: reducing the plot size of the houses, to reduce the quantity of serviced land and related costs for every unit, in addition to decreasing building material by utilizing housing typologies which have shared construction components (ie attached housing and apartments).

A couple of times over the past few weeks Paul has offered to drive Tyler to school for me. What a treat! This offer feels like a huge gift to me -- the gift of time. But I'm not the only one who benefits -- we all do!
It allows me to leave the house to take Alyssa to school 45 minutes later -- or not at all on a day like today when she is home sick.
It allows Alyssa the opportunity to sleep 45 minutes longer -- we normally have to wake her up at 6:30 every morning in order to get out of the house by 7:15.
It also gives Paul and Tyler special father-son time, which they don't get a lot of. Tyler really enjoys that extra attention. He loves spending time with mom or dad alone -- without the constant interruptions from his adorable little sister!
And, I'm sure it makes Paul feel good that he is helping everyone else out. Even though Tyler's school is way out of the way, Paul still gets to work on time.
I guess I'm writing about it, because it feels so freeing. Like a weight lifted off my shoulders...just a little release from the normal driving routine...a little room to breathe...a little more flexibility...a little less pressure.
I'll take the gift of time anytime!

M3 'Grease Gun' Submachine Gun

|Barrel Length
|203.200 mm
|3.700 kg
|Rate of Fire
|450 rounds/min

Contributor: C. Peter Chenww2dbaseThe M3 submachine gun was designed by George Hyde in 1942, and they entered American military service on 12 Dec 1942, aiming to replace the Thompson submachine gun. Designed during war time, Hyde focused, and succeeded, in achieving a design that would be simple and cheap to produce. Between 1942 and 1945, 600,000 M3 submachine guns were manufactured.
The M3 submachine guns fired in automatic mode only. They were operated by blowback and fired from an open bolt. When American soldiers received the weapons, they nicknamed them "grease guns" as the weapons looked like the common mechanic's tool by the same name.
After the WW2, M3 submachine guns, along with the M3A1 variant designed in 1944, remained in service. They were officially retired in 1957 after an additional 80,000 units were made since 1945, but in actuality they continued to serve long after the official retirement. In the early 1990s, during the Desert Storm conflict, US Army 19th Engineering Battalion troops were equipped with M3A1 submachine guns. They were also used during the Chinese Civil War, Korean War, Vietnam War, and others.

I was able to fire the M3A1 'GREASE GUN' it had one setting full auto, hell of a kick magazine capacity 20 or 30 rounds of 0.45 caliber ammo designed for short range, and it was heavy, but a very simple weapon to field strip.The rate of fire was 270rpm
27 May 2009 06:41:51 PM
Field striping the Grease Gun was easy just un-screw the barrel, and the bolt and spring come out. To fire the weapon, all you had to do was flip open the small door on the right side, this is were the empty brass flies out you can look and see the 45 ammo in the magazine pull the bolt back with your first finger, a cut-out was designed for this, take the weapon off safty, shoulder the weapon, and fire. Designed to fire on full automatic only. it was a brut designed for close range. I think I've remembered it all,when that .45 slug hits you, your goin down. After World War II the U.S. exported the weapon to NATO and Allied Nations. Over 655,000 were produced. Some models were made under licence in Argentina, Taiwan and Portugal. Even into the 1990's this weapon could still be found in many armed forces, the U.S. Army still used the weapon into the 1960's.

-They were in use in (at least) the 73rd Cavalry Rgt (ABN), the only airborne armor unit in the US Army, until they turned in their M-551 Sheridans in 1996. -BillAnonymous is wrong in one respect. There is no "safety" as such on the M-3. The dust cover had a small tab that would lock the bolt in place when closed but only an idiot would close the dust cover on a cocked gun. See: http://www.shootingillustrated.com/index.php/7343/m3-grease-gun/ for more information. -I fired the gun and hated it. IF (big if) the magazines worked the rate of fire was terribly slow and the gun was extremely inaccurate. -There were two clever ideas in the design: 1) the wire stock coulde be removed and used as a wrench to unscrew the barrel locking nut. 2) the stock also has a little tab on it that was used to aid in loading the magazines.

MICHAEL THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENT DATED ON 29 JULY 2012. GLAD TO RECEIVE FEEDBACK IF I REMEMBER THE M3 GREASE GUN COULD BE FIELD STRIPED DOWN TO SEVEN PARTS. AND YOUR RIGHT THE M3 FEATURED A SPRING-LOADED EJECTOR PORT COVER, THAT ALSO ACTED AS A SAFETY, LOCKING THE BOLT WHEN IT WAS CLOSED. THE LAST TIME I FIRED THE M3 WAS AT FT.SILL, OKLAHOMA, IN 1966, AND LATER FIRED IT AGAIN IN 67/68 SERVING W/THE 9TH INFANTRY DIVISION DURING MY FIRST TOUR IN VIETNAM'S MEKONG DELTA. MY SECOND TOUR 69/70 WAS WITH(IFFV)I FIELD FORCES VIETNAM LOCATED IN THE CENTRAL HIGHLANDS.THE WEAPON WAS STILL IN USE BY THE SOUTH VIETNAMESE ARMY(ARVN)I LIKED THE M3 LATER ON I HAD A CHINESE CHI-COM TYPE 56/AK47 7.62x39mm. THIS OLD SERGEANT CAN'T REMEMBER EVERYTHING, BUT I DO MY BEST, BUT THAT WAS WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, MUCH YOUNGER...THANKS FOR THE INFO AND THE MEMORIES MICHAEL. THE CHINESE CONNECTION: THE COMMUNIST CHINESE PRODUCED A COPY OF THE .45 CALIBER M3A1 GREASE GUN, IN LOCAL WORK SHOPS AND MILITARY ARSENALS, AS THE TYPE 36 THE WEAPON WAS ALSO USED BY THE CHINESE NATIONALIST FORCES.

I recently purchased a weapon the box says cz25 it looks like a grease gun, but the barrel is less then 4 inches. It has a removable stock, and the gun appears new. It has been cut in three places on the main body before the barrel rendering it unfireable. I don't see any other markings on it. It appears to have a 30 round clip. Can you help me identify this gun, and possibly a complete drawing of the weapon. The rounds seem longer than a 9mm but slimmer. Buddy
5 Aug 2018 06:40:26 AM
The CZ25 mentioned in comment 8 is a post-war submachine gun manufactured by the Ceskoslovensko Zbrojojovka (Czech Arms Company founded in 1919) in Brno. Developed by chief designer Vaclav Holek, the CZ25 and its counterpart the CZ23 were important designs in the development history of the submachine gun since they were the first production weapons to incorporate the over-hung or wrap-around bolt. The face of the bolt was deeply recessed, so that when the breech was closed some six inches of the bolt actually surrounded the barrel. This method of construction reduced the overall length of the gun and also kept the centre of balance within a relatively small compass at all times. Due to the short bolt stroke the pistol grip was brought forward to a position where it could also function as the magazine housing. The CZ23 had a wooden stock and the CZ25 a folding metal stock; both were chambered for the 9mm Parabellum cartridge. Some 100,000 were made, and they were widely sold abroad.

Every Child Matters
Parenting has increasingly become a central issue for public policy making. Initiatives such as Every Child Matters, Sure Start and Children's Centres proliferate. There seems to be no end to the government's appetite to marginalize parents and bring in the professionals into family life.
This forum will examine the impact that these initiatives are having on the family. How do these policies impact on the role of parents today?

A relief from side effects from medical or therapeutic techniques promoting recovery.
After treatment, my clients feel relaxed, and at peace with a sense of well-being.
I administer Reiki through the 'laying on hands' which is based on the idea that an unseen 'life force energy' flows through us.
Great results were achieved treating pets with Reiki.
I bring a portable treatment table and relaxing music which are both optional to use.
The session is about an hour long or longer if it is a new experience, leaving time to discuss Reiki and client's needs.
I teach Reiki 1, 2, 3 and Imara Reiki ( Master degree required)in small groups or 1 to 1.

They just had to put 90% of the functions on the top left of my screen...and it doesn't help that I'm rockin' a colossal iPhone 6 Plus! I find myself having to 'walk' my hand up the side of my phone every time I have to press the back button on an app.
It is always a sketchy experience and I can't imagine texting or navigating my phone walking around campus or a city like Chicago. #forgetaboutit My Loopy is only the fraction of the price of a repair (even with AppleCare) and I have no worries of my phone staying in Mint condition when I'm in the loop.
I'd rather not talk about this one...
I kept losing my phone on the couch, in the car, and even once onto the hardwood floor without Loopy!
The silicon loop flexes down into your pocket and its slightly rubbery feel means it stays put in there! With Loopy, I never worry about my phone wandering out of my pocket on its own. Ever.
It is so funny sitting at a SBUX or the like and watching all the people juggling their $4 Latte with their $850 iPhone! I find myself cringing all the time, it's a lot like watching a scary movie.
Flipping my phone to the back of my hand securely with Loopy assures me that I'll be avoiding dropping my $600 investment! #multigrasp
With the Loopy, I'm ALWAYS in the loop. Pulling it out of my pocket it's the first thing I look for. When putting my phone back into my front or back pocket is more confident in the loop as well because if you let go and miss your pocket, you're still safe n' sound in the loop.
I was so paranoid of a drop ESPECIALLY when I was up and about walking around. You never know when a drop is going to happen, and that is especially bad when your phone is in motion about 4 feet off the ground. With Loopy, it is nice to feel secure and in control at all times!
Did I miss your favorite use?! Leave a comment and let's duke it out! :p
Do you HOLD your phone with your left hand? If so, you'll want to request a LEFTY Loopy! It's no problem because we make them, too! :)
In short, the hand that grabs your phone (most of the time) is the orientation you want for your Loopy Case.
All Loopy Cases are righties by default. If you'd like a left-handed Loopy, simply type out 'LEFTY' in the notes section once adding your Loopy Case to your cart (the notes section is on the cart page). If you are ordering multiple Loopy Cases, please note which models you'd like a LEFTY version of as well.
Having trouble deciding? Simply answer this question: which hand do you hold your phone with MOST of the time? If the left hand, please request a LEFTY model via the instructions above. If the right hand, no note is needed since this is the default orientation for Loopy :)
Can I still use my phone with my right hand if I get a lefty model? Absolutely. Most of us here at Loopy HQ use our cases with both hands with EASE. Our loops are made to be comfortable and versatile for use with both of your hands. The loop angle is simply there to give you maximum comfort with your dominant hand, but does not hinder your ability to use it with the other.

What seems like endless waiting, my surgery date finally came! I have to admit, waiting absolutely sucks! Especially when you have something growing inside you that you fear may be cancer! But, I think I did a pretty good job of not letting it get to me or allowing that elephant in the room. Also, it wasn't like this big dark cloud hanging over my head. I'm pretty lucky that I can compartmentalize unpleasant things and just file them away until it's necessary to open that door. Anyway, my surgery date was finally here.
My surgery wasn't scheduled until 4:30 this past Monday afternoon. I was hoping to get an early in the day surgery but I was lucky they could squeeze me in as quickly as they did so I guess I can't complain. Its funny how the mind works… surgeons normally have one or two days a week where all they do is surgery. My train of thought was it's probably best to have your surgery in the morning because that's when the doctor is fresh… Come on, the guy is only human. If you have surgery late in the day, he's probably tired and possibly not on his game. But… in this case, I gotta take what I can get. I just want this damned thing out of me! Another problem with a late surgery was that I had to fast for a minimum of 9 hours before hand…that means no food or even water after 7:30 a.m.
They wanted me to check in two hours before surgery so we had to be at the hospital by 2:30 p.m. I could hear my stomach growling the entire time during our 20 minute drive. I was absolutely starving!!! Not only starving, but I'll admit I was now starting to get a little nervous in anticipation of the surgery. I checked in with the surgical receptionist and they promptly brought me and patty into the prep room where they take your vitals etc. and fill out paperwork. Once that's done, you get go change into the gown/smock/robe and booties from hell! The entire process takes maybe 20 minutes max and now it's just wait time until the surgeon is ready for me. This was at about 3:00 p.m. Patty's trying to entertain me because she knows I'm nervous but seriously, all I could think about at that point was food!!! I told Patty that after surgery we could stop at McDonald's on the way home and I'd get a Big Mac, Large Fries and a Strawberry Shake! I know it's not the healthiest food but, like I said, I was starving! In fact, it's been years… I mean years, since I've had a Big Mac! I checked the clock and it was about 3:45 p.m. I told Patty that they should be getting me soon since my surgery was 45 minutes away. We waited… and waited… and waited… no one came and got me. It was pushing 4:30 p.m. and I was wondering what was going on. No one came and said anything to me about a delay but I figured they'd get me as soon as they were ready. So… we waited… and waited… and waited more. It was now pushing 6 o'clock… My stomach was so empty that it was stuck together and I was about ready to eat my hand and I could feel I was getting a little grumpy! OK… not a little grumpy, but a lot grumpy since no one had said anything to me about what was taking so long. I tried to put a smile on my face and marched out to the nurses area donning my blue printed robe, green gown and tan booties. Now, let me ask you, is there any way you can get any ounce of respect wearing those stupid clothes??? I kinda doubt it! There were three nurses in the nurses station laughing and joking and having a grand ol' time when I interrupted them and politely said "Sorry to bother you, but I've been waiting here for four hours now. What's going on? My surgery was scheduled for an hour and a half ago." The nurse who checked me in had a puzzled look on her face and said she'd check. I went back to my waiting area with Patty. Moments later the nurse came in and said there were some issues with the surgery before mine but they were getting ready to "close him up" and they'd get me soon. What??? Issues??? Now see, this goes back to what I said earlier in this post… a late surgery isn't good. It's now after 6 p.m. and the surgeon is probably tired and I'm next! But, what can you do? Just sit there in my stupid gown and listen to my stomach growl! By the time 7:30 p.m. rolled around I'm still waiting and really, I'm not a happy camper! Finally a nurse came in and said she was ready to take me back to the surgical room. She said "Do you have your party hat?" Oh, that's right. Not only are you wearing the most stupid looking clothes in the world, they want to add insult to injury and make you wear that net over your head! There's just no way to look cool now!
The nurse wheeled me into the next pre-op room. This is where they get your IV in and do whatever last minute things they need to do. During this time you're visited by the OR Nurse, my surgeon and Dr. Happy… the wonderful guy who puts you to sleep. My surgeon went over the process of getting the tumor out and it seemed like a pretty basic procedure which I was comfortable with. He finished by saying "I'll see you in the operating room in a few minutes. I stopped him as he walked away and said "You've had a long day… I hope you're not tired." He looked me in the eye and said "Nope… I'm just warming up!" Ok… that helped. By 8:30 p.m. they were finally wheeling me into the operating room with my stomach still growling! Once in the room, they moved me to the operating table. One nurse took a peek under my gown and I was thinking "At least wait until I'm asleep!" She then said "You haven't been shaved yet." She then got out the electric razor and attacked my pubic hair. I always joke when I get nervous so made some smart ass comments about "Just take a little off the top" and some other crack about just having extensions put in! I had everyone in the room laughing! Ok… I still got it. Next thing I know is Dr. Happy speaking to me saying he put something in my IV to help me relax. Relax? Hell, I was out in seconds!
From what I hear, a lot happened while I was asleep… The surgeon made a two inch incision on my right side just above my right testicle and removed whatever is in that area. What he discovered was the tumor had attached itself to my right testicle making it impossible to remove without removing my testicle. This was a decision he couldn't make and needed approval from Patty to do the removal. So, he and two nurses found Patty in the waiting room while I was out on the operating table with Dr. Happy keeping a close eye on me. The doctor explained what was happening and sked for her permission to remove my right testicle. It was either she make the call or he said he could close me up and get my permission and go back in later. Patty asked a few questions and then said "absolutely take it. He'd want to me to say yes!" So she signed a few papers and just before they left, she asked the surgeon "Is it cancer?" He replied "It looks like a slow growing cancer but we won't know until we get the results of the biopsy." The then returned to the operating room to finish with me. Patty was pretty upset of having to make that decision as well as learning the possibility of me having cancer. She told me later that she started crying when they left the room and within seconds he sister Kathy called. Funny how God works…
The next thing I know is I'm waking up in the recovery room… I was still somewhat groggy when the surgeon came in. He said "Ed… you did great! But I have some good news and some bad news… " That's never a good thing to say to a patient… "The good news is that you're going to be fine… the bad news is we had to remove your right testicle… It's going to be OK. You'll still be able to father children!" WHAT??? I wasn't upset about him taking my testicle, I was upset that he'd think I'd want any more children! For God's sake… I'm almost 60!
So… a 45 minute surgery turned into nearly two hours. We didn't get home until close to midnight. Good news is that I feel about a pound lighter now that they've removed that testicle.
So, now is the waiting game. I have my post-op meeting with my surgeon on Friday at 3:45 p.m. This is where we're going to learn what's in store for me going forward. I've been preparing myself to hear him say that it's cancer and if it is, it's not our first rodeo. Patty and I can get though anything. I'm very confident about that! If it's clear and not cancer… I'll be doing Patty's Happy Dance!!!

Recently, two of my favorite blogs changed their titles. I still save them in my bookmarks with the original names, but I like watching over the years as the titles and blogs reinvent themselves with the changing lives of my friends.
Not me, though. What started as "The Sum of Awe" will stay that way. You might wonder what it means, or how I got the idea. You may not care, but I will tell you anyway.
Not shockingly, I was inspired by something I saw at Montreat. What I interpreted as a simple spelling mistake on a powerpoint slide (awesum as opposed to awesome) turned into my simple goal in life.
Steve, the master behind our AV crew at the conference and without whom the conference could operate, explained that he spelled the word wrong on purpose.
"Something is awesome because it is made up of all things awe-ful. Full of awe. To be in awe is great. The sum of awe - all that awe together - is even better."
And that's why I'm constantly searching for awesum moments. Surges of "I can't believe this" coupled with "this is so amazing". Orgasmic life moments, minus random men and/or batteries.
So thanks for keeping up with me, as I tell you about my days - good, bad and awesum. The sum of awe may find me at moments few and far between, but each one is always worth it.

You truly are awesum and I'm so glad that I get to stalk you from thousands of miles away. Good luck with your writer's block, glad the metamorphosis of my blog could help out just a teeny pinch's worth. :)

Your entry gave me a new perspective on the word "awesome." I think that's really cool and I'm probably going to tell my friends about it! haha.

Click to download today's FREE PDF: https://mindovermunch.com/PDF/April13_Hummus_MindOverMunch.pdf Today I show you how to make THREE…
Our best selling ebook turned into a course – Meal prep ignite!
Our best selling ebook turned into a course – Meal prep ignite!
Hummus is such a simple, versatile dish, and it's loaded with plant-based protein and fiber! But, some folks (especially kids and toddlers) just aren't fans of the traditional hummus ingredient: tahini. Luckily, you can make this kid friendly homemade hummus WITHOUT tahini!
I know, some hummus purists will say that 'it's not truly a hummus without tahini.' And, that's just fine—I'll still call it homemade hummus without tahini. But, you can call it a chickpea dip, or whatever you like!
Either way, it's an awesome healthy snack for kids—especially picky eaters—and a great way to fit more nutrition and protein into their day. And, you can serve this homemade hummus without tahini in SO many ways, whether it's a dip for veggies, spread onto a sandwich, or used in a salad dressing!
Don't get me wrong, I'm personally a big fan of tahini. Similar to a nut butter, tahini is just sesame seeds blended into a paste. It's creamy, salty, and actually loaded with wholesome fats, protein, and other nutrients!
But, not everyone is a fan, and it isn't the most kid friendly ingredient. Often, kids and picky eaters are more sensitive to bitter tastes, and tahini does have a hint of bitterness. So, this homemade hummus without tahini can be an awesome option for those more sensitive taste buds!
And, chickpeas on their own have a very mild, neutral, savory taste. Perfect for blending into a creamy dip that kids can enjoy! Plus, chickpeas are loaded with plenty of protein, so this homemade hummus without tahini is still a nutritious spread for sandwiches or at snack time. Just without the hint of bitterness!Print
1 can (15 oz) garbanzo beans, drained/rinsed
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp cumin
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

A few notes on the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) (Booths) to answer some frequently asked questions on why our family observes this Biblical holiday every year.
The Hebrew word sukkah (singular) and Sukkot (plural) means booth or tabernacle (Gen. 33:17).
Many scholars believe Jesus was born in a Sukkah, Booth or Tabernacle during the Feast of Tabernacles.In John 1:14, the word "dwelt" is literally "tabernacled" in the Greek (Strong's 4637 below). He came to tabernacle with us!
Feast of Tabernacles (Lev 23, Deut 16) is a week-long annual "appointed time" and is a Biblical festival commemorating the 40-year journey of the Israelites in the wilderness and also pointing to the second coming of Christ where we will Tabernacle together in the millennial reign with Jesus as the King of Kings.
It is neat to read how His people "rediscovered" the Feast days and experienced a revival and thirst for His Word and desire to obey!
"And all the assembly of those who had returned from the captivity made booths and lived in the booths, for from the days of Jeshua the son of Nun to that day the people of Israel had not done so. And there was very great rejoicing. And day by day, from the first day to the last day, he read from the Book of the Law of God. They kept the feast seven days, and on the eighth day there was a solemn assembly, according to the rule."
Nehemiah 8:17-18
This festival is described in Leviticus 23:41 as a statute "FOREVER"; (Strong's number 5769) and a feast to the LORD (no, not a Jewish only feast) that all believers (including those who are grafted in- Romans 11) will observe even in the end times. (Zechariah 14).
"Then everyone who survives of all the nations that have come against Jerusalem shall go up year after year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Booths." Zechariah 14:16
Why wait for the End Times?
Let's start rehearsing for His return today!!
Let's get fired up for rediscovering and living out His Word!
Psst… Pass the Word.

Asking Prices of Dundee Property Remains Steady
Asking Prices of Dundee Property Remains Steady
I had an interesting question the other day from a homeowner in Ninewells who asked me the difference between asking prices and values and why it mattered. When it comes to selling property, there must be agreement between the purchaser (buyer) and seller (vendor) for a property sale to take place. The value a buyer applies to a property can massively differ from the value a seller or mortgage company places upon it. The seller, the buyer and the mortgage company must find an agreeable value to assign to a property so the sale can proceed.
In many of my articles about the Dundee property market, I talk about values, i.e. what property in Dundee actually sells for, but I haven't spoken about asking prices for while. Now asking prices are important as they are one of the four key matters a potential buyer will judge your property on (the others being location, bedrooms and type). Price yourself too high and you will put off buyers. So let's take a look at the Dundee numbers.
Over the last 12 months asking prices (i.e. the price advertised in the paper and on Rightmove) in Dundee have remained steady, leaving the average asking price at around £142,300.
Interestingly though, when we look at, say terraced properties and flats, a slightly different picture appears. Twelve months ago, the average asking price for a terraced house in Dundee was £150,900 and today its £143,000 (a drop of 5%); whilst over the same 12-month period, the average asking price of a flat was £93,800 a year ago, and today its £98,500 (a rise of 5%).
However, my research shows that the supply of property for sale in Dundee is beginning to increase. In December 2015, there were 616 on the market in Dundee today there are 682 properties on the market (up 11%). This will mean homeowners looking to sell will need to be conscious of how their property compares against others on the Dundee property market. The Dundee property market still has substantial momentum and sufficient demand remains. This noteworthy increase in supply since Christmas is currently providing more choice for buyers.
… And here is the second point to make. Asking prices are one thing, but what a property sells for (i.e. value) is a completely different matter. These are the average prices achieved (i.e. what they sold for or the average value) for property in Dundee over the last 12 months...
Overall Average £145,400 Terraced £123,900 Flat £105,700
You can quite clearly see, there is a difference between what people are asking for property and what it is selling for. The underlying fundamentals of low interest mortgages and tight supply remain prevalent in the Dundee property market however, the number one lesson has to be this ... if you want to sell, be realistic with your pricing.

DES MOINES – Ten months after Senator Barack Obama set off on a frigid, victorious night in the Iowa caucuses, he returned here on Friday to unusually warm rays of sunshine for one last stop in a long presidential campaign.
"What you started here in Iowa has swept the nation," Mr. Obama said as he opened a 96-hour push to Election Day. "A whole new way of doing democracy started right here in Iowa and it's all across the country now."
While the trip to Iowa carried the feel of a valedictory, Mr. Obama urged his supporters to discount the feeling that he carried steep advantages and reminded voters there was significant work to do before Tuesday. He derided what he called a negative campaign being waged by Senator John McCain, overlooking his own aggressive tactics on the air and on the ground in battlegrounds across the country.
"A couple of elections ago, there was a presidential candidate who decried this kind of politics and condemned these kinds of tactics. And I admired him for it – we all did," Mr. Obama said. "He said, 'I will not take the low road to the highest office in this land.' Those words were spoken eight years ago by my opponent, John McCain, but the high road didn't lead him to the White House then, so this time, he decided to take a different route."
He added: "Now, I know campaigns are tough because we've got real differences about big issues and we care passionately about this country's future. And make no mistake, we will respond swiftly and forcefully with the truth to whatever falsehoods they throw our way. The stakes are too high to do anything less."
Mr. Obama told his audience here about a new television ad released by Republicans on Friday that showed Mr. Obama praising Mr. McCain for his stance on climate change and global warming. The commercial was aimed at moderate or independent voters, attempting to blur the lines of distinction between the two candidates.
"I don't disagree with Senator McCain on everything, and I respect his occasional displays of independence," Mr. Obama said. "But when it comes to the economy, when it comes to the central issue of this election, the plain truth is that John McCain has stood with President Bush every step of the way."
The visit to Iowa underscored how the presidential race has changed since Mr. Obama and Mr. McCain first filled out their applications for the job. Their candidacies were propelled by their respective positions on the Iraq war – Mr. Obama was strongly opposed, Mr. McCain fiercely supportive – an issue that has fallen behind the economy in the minds of voters.
To thousands of people who gathered outdoors in a downtown plaza here, Mr. Obama offered a note of caution that the next president faced stiff challenges and not all campaign pledges would be easily met.
"I won't stand here and pretend that any of this will be easy – especially now," Mr. Obama said. "Washington will have to tighten its belt and put off spending on things we don't need. As President, I will go through the federal budget, line-by-line, ending programs that we don't need and making the ones we do need work better and cost less."
In his victory speech in early January, after he defeated Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and John Edwards, the word economy did not appear in his remarks.
On Friday, the word was mentioned again and again.

Exercising during pregnancy is great for you. It relaxes you, strengthens your muscles, and helps reduce discomfort. Exercising also makes it easier to get back in shape after delivery.
It is safe to do most exercises when you're pregnant. Walking is a great first step, if you want to get in the exercise mode. Many experts recommend Yoga because of its physical and emotional benefits. Always consult a Yoga expert about the right exercises for you.
As months pass, you should make adjustments. This is because your baby (and your tummy) is growing. This changes balance and posture. Your body has to work harder to provide enough oxygen to baby. Thus you may tire quickly during later stages. Your joints may also be more vulnerable.
Always pay close attention to what your body tells you. As a thumb rule, don't run out of breath. If you do, stop. You should not exhaust yourself.
Warning Signs when Exercising during Pregnancy
The most common warning signs are listed below. When you experience any of these, don't stop at once. Walk for a bit. Have some water. Abruptly stopping might do more harm than good. Call your doctor if the symptoms persist.
Vomiting or Nausea
If you feel sick, or vomit, you are exercising more than you should. Slow down and don't tire yourself. It could also mean low BP or low blood sugar.
Make sure to eat a light snack before exercising. It also helps to stick to a healthy diet. Follow the diet plan given by your doctor or dietitian.
Heart Palpitations
If at any point you feel strange sensations in your chest, slow down. It might mean you are exercising too hard. Slow down gradually and when you stop, call your doctor.
If you feel dizzy during or after exercise, call your doctor. If you also have headache or palpitations at the same time, it might mean dehydration. Or that there is not enough iron in your blood.
Back Pain / Hip Pain / Pain in Pelvis
During pregnancy, hormonal changes take place in your body. These affect ligaments that support your joints. They make them loose and less stable. This makes you more prone to injury. See your doctor if you experience pain in your back, hips or pelvis.
Your hands and feet may swell a little after exercise. But if there is more swelling, see your doctor. It can be signs of pre-eclampsia, which increases BP and causes body to retain fluid. It restricts blood supply to placenta, and can be harmful to the baby. Hence it should be treated without delay.
Sudden Body Temperature Changes
Exercising causes body temperature to rise. Sudden changes in body temperature can be harmful for your baby. Call your doctor if you experience any of these:
- Your hands turn damp or sweaty
- Your body overheats
- Your face turns hot or cold
- You sweat a lot
Always drink plenty of water while exercising. Keep exercise sessions to a maximum of 45 minutes. Avoid exercising when it's hot or humid outside.

Erasmus Paris visit – Day One
Today was a very special day in world history as it marked the centenary of the the armistice which ended world war one on 11th November 1918. After an early start and breakfast with our partner schools from Spain, Romania and France we headed to the Jean Jaures Gymnasium for a commemorative workshop which involved performances form our partner schools and speeches by several local dignitaries including the mayor of the 19th Arrondisement(similar to a district like Allerton or Garston).
In England we wear poppies but in France we were all given a blue and white flower instead) At the end of the ceremony we were invite d to look at some original magazines called 'Le Miroir' and L'Illustration' which were a record of the war in France with lots of pictures showing the terrible conditions that the soldiers had to deal with.
We were then invited to a ceremony at a memorial stone outside of the Town Hall where several different groups of people laid wreaths by the stone. Our Erasmus partners from Romania laid a wreath on behalf of our partner schools- although we got very wet it was a very special occasion where everybody showed total respect. We finished the morning with refreshments in the beautiful Town Hall.
Can you research the 'Bleuet de France' and write about it in 100 words or less? You can also draw it. We will publish some of your responses on our BLEND website.
The commemoration of the end of the First World War continued into the afternoon with a
ceremony which was held under the walls of one of the most famous cemeteries in the world, Pere
Lachaise. Among a host of other famous people from the worlds of art, music, literature and politics,
the playwright Oscar Wilde, the composer Chopin, the singer Edith Piaf and the rock star Jim
Morrison are all buried. Today's ceremony not only marked the 100th anniversary of the war's
conclusion but also acknowledged the creation of a new monument to the 94,415 Parisians who
died during the conflict. The memorial stretches the whole way along one of the cemetery's walls
and contains the names of all those soldiers who died in the chronological order of their deaths.
The ceremony began with an impressive parade led by a marching band and comprised of
branches of all the French armed forces, including armed firemen! It was attended by the Mayor of
Paris, Madame Hidalgo, as well as the Minister for the Army and the commander of the military
garrison of Paris. Before the dignitaries made their speeches to the specially invited crowd, actors
read poems and highly emotional letters from young soldiers who had fought and died in the
defence of their country.
On a big screen, footage from the war itself was shown which emphasised
the terrible conditions those soldiers endured and the terrible dangers they faced. There was also
beautiful, solemn music provided by a cellist, a pianist, a female soprano singer and an excellent
choir. The memorial was lit up in several places with beacons of fire and the dignitaries walked the
length of the memorial, studying the names of those who had made the ultimate sacrifice. Following
this, the Mayor and the Minister for the Army made two speeches, which were followed by a rousing
rendition of the French national anthem, "The Marseillaise." The constant rain did make life a little
uncomfortable, but it certainly didn't ruin the occasion
See if you can find out the names of some of the other artists, writers and composers who are buried
in Pere Lachaise cemetery.
Mr Burke and Mr Carney

MK Dons have today (Friday) cancelled the contract of striker Ryan Lowe due to personal reasons, after he met with manager Karl Robinson this week.
.mkstadiumThe former Sheffield Wednesday and Bury forward netted 12 times for the Dons in 2012/13, a total which saw him tied with Dean Bowditch for the top goalscorer award last season. Lowe also made 51 appearances in what has turned out to be his only season at
Explaining his reasoning, the 34-year-old told mkdons.com: "This wasn't an easy decision but it was one I felt I had to make for the benefit of my family.
"Constantly being away from my young family in Liverpool last season proved more challenging than I originally thought and I found it hard to concentrate fully on my football. I had a long think over the summer and after speaking with my family and Karl, I felt it would be for the best if I left.
"I really enjoyed my short, but memorable time in Milton Keynes and I wish the boys every success next season."
Lowe was Robinson's third signing last summer and after a difficult start to life at stadiummk the Liverpudlian soon began to show the sort of form that tempted the Dons' manager to sign him.
And Robinson also spoke to mkdons.com, adding: "A motivated Ryan Lowe is a top forward in this League but for the reasons he stated to me earlier this week, I didn't think he'd be in the right mindset to help take this Club forward.
"I'd like to wish him luck in the future and thank him for all he did last season."

Lessons Learned From Launching Foobity
December 3, 2007
It's been a couple of days since our first launch of Foobity. It was lackluster, but that's what I expected. We haven't really done much with it yet. Regardless, I consider iteration one a success because of how much I learned.
The next iteration will have a comprehensive competition creation feature. Each competition will have subtasks. For each of these subtasks, a competition creator will be able to assign a point value and a refresh rate. The refresh rate controls how often a player can achieve that subtask. We will also have subgoals that work for subjective tasks as well. Points will be awarded by the competition creator after someone has typed in some effort in response to a subgoal. Overall, more power will be handed over to the competition creator, as this is the person willing to put in the most effort anyway.

Today I finished what will probably be
my last custom project for 2016.
(I'm having hand surgery on Monday
and will be out of commission for a month.)
Virginia delivered this little victorian parlor chair
she wants reupholstered.
You know how I LOVE
using non-traditional materials....
She wants to use this printed coverlet for the upholstery.
I'm all over it!!!!
First step is removing all the piping and loose tacks.
Step two is removing the cat,
and figuring out how to lay the fabric.
We've decided to toss the ordinary out the window:
No symmetry...no centered patterns.
Instead, Virginia wants to use as much of the beautiful
blues in the fabric as possible.
So after I figured out the positioning,
I cut out the fabric and then cut fusible interfacing
which I then ironed to bond with the fabric.
This fabric is very thin.
The interfacing will give it more weight
and make it much more sturdy and less prone to tears.
I staple and glue all along the edges, then trim, the chair front.
Next, I cut a piece of batting for the seat.
Again, after positioning the design,
I cut out interfacing and ironed to bond it to the fabric.
Then I stapled along all the edges,
pulling the material taut.
And next I did the same for the chair back.
I used the solid and striped borders of the coverlet for the double piping......
After sewing, I trimmed, then glued the cording to all the edges,
to cover the staples.
I believe she's finished!
Yep, she's definitely a SHE.
I love the assymetry of it all.
This chair is now a piece of art!
Thank you, Virginia!!!!!!
Check in with me in a month,
when I'll be taking on more custom work!!!
Oh, and just in case,
MERRY CHRISTMAS, everyone!!!!!
(Typing with one hand....hmmmm....
(Typing with one hand....hmmmm....
this might be my last blog of 2016, too!)

VICE News uncovers proof of Russian soldiers in Ukraine (Video)
VICE News correspondent Simon Ostrovsky has uncovered even more proof of the Russian army's involvement in the fighting in Ukraine.
In his latest report, Ostrovsky met with British citizen journalist and blogger Eliot Higgins, who has made a name for himself by using photos freely available online to pinpoint the location of soldiers and terrorists all over the world, Ukraine Today reports.
In the Vice News report, Higgins - who has now teamed up with American think-tank the Atlantic Council - says he has no doubt about the evidence of Russia's involvement in Ukraine, including evidence of Russia launching artillery attacks into Ukraine from Russian soil, as well as sending Russian military vehicles and soldiers into Ukraine.
During the report Ostrovsky used open source information to track currently serving Russian soldier Bato Dambayaev from Siberia, where he serves in a Russian army unit on the Mongolian border, to Ukraine, finding multiple indications of Dambayev not only fighting in Ukraine, but also being an active member of the Russian army.

The federal government will need to ramp up its fight against climate pollution if it wants to keep a key promise under a United Nations pact, new research from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory shows.
The U.S. pledged during United Nations meetings in France last year to reduce its greenhouse gas pollution by a little more than a quarter in 2025, compared with 2005. When it comes to living up to this commitment, the research showed current rules and policies alone would be insufficient.
"Federal climate policy is falling short of the United States' pledge in Paris — and not by a small amount," said Danny Cullenward, a Carnegie Institution for Science researcher who helped the national lab scientists develop their study.
Less than a year after it was negotiated, the Paris Agreement is poised to take effect. Even if all countries keep all promises made under it, the goal of keeping global warming to well below 2°C (3.6°F) isn't expected to be achieved. Efforts are being made to improve national pledges in the years ahead.
The research published Monday in the journal Nature Climate Change comes one day before the opening of an important chapter in a sprawling court battle that will decide the fate of America's most important suite of climate change regulations — the Clean Power Plan, affecting power plants.
"I don't envy those planning climate policy," Cullenward said. "They're caught between fierce opposition to the Clean Power Plan and the knowledge that federal climate efforts need redoubling if the U.S. is to fulfill its Paris promise."
The researchers analyzed federal projections for energy industry changes and the likely effects of climate rules that have been put in place by federal and state agencies. They projected that greenhouse gas emissions would fall nationwide by the equivalent of 300 million to 350 million tons of carbon dioxide in 2025, compared with 2005.
Living up to America's new international commitment would require reducing greenhouse gas pollution by about 1,000 million to 2,000 million tons of carbon dioxide in 2025, the researchers calculated. That means existing climate rules are not enough.
