Ah, consensus! Compromising one's values for a politician's promise…
"Ah consensus … the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies in search of something in which no one believes, but to which no one objects; the process of avoiding the very issues that have to be solved, merely because you cannot get agreement on the way ahead. What great cause would have […] Continue reading

For consumersLLC 'Organic meat product'
Happiness and prosperity to every family!
The most sincere congratulations on the occasion of the great Christian holiday of the Resurrection of Christ!
The most expensive meat dishes in the world
An exclusive $ 5000 burger can be enjoyed in Las Vegas at the Fleur de Lys restaurant. The most expensive cake, $ 14,260, or $ 1,781 per serving, can be sampled at The Fence Gate Inn, Lancashire, England, while Honky Tonk's London specializes in American cuisine, known for its Glemburger, worth $ 1,770.
We wish you health, love, peace and prosperity.
The main criterion for buying meat is the degree of its freshness.
Like all styfrems, this is being prepared instantly. Mustard sauce is so appetizing and makes roasted tender beef much tastier.
Beef pastries are a good alternative to ordinary sausage. It is prepared from a delicate meat fillet with different seasonings.
Marinade is a mixture of acid, vegetable oil and seasonings. Dip the meat in marinade to give the product a flavor and the correct consistency – make it softer.
ORGANIC MEAT is the production of organic certified products within the food chain from raw material production to market promotion ("from the lawn to the table").

"Nurture and Admonition"
And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Ephesians 6:4
Children don't come with an instruction manual.
Every parent wishes they did, but the truth is plain: children don't come with instructions. As a result, we parents make mistakes in raising our children; we all do things we wish we could do over.
Parents learning to be parents were not the kind of things being talked about in last week's report issued by Atlanta's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC was addressing the problem of parents who failed to meet an infant child's basic needs in regard to housing, clothing, feeding, and medical care.
In the one-year study, the government experts were shocked to find thirty thousand newborns had been abused before they were one week old and ninety-one thousand infants had been ill treated before they celebrated their first birthday.
Relying on verified reports submitted by medical professionals (sixty-five percent), law enforcement officials, relatives, friends, neighbors, and protective services, the study spoke of problems that should never have occurred.
We encourage the readers of our Daily Devotions to pray for the safety of those children as well as for their parents. Ask God that the mothers and fathers of these little ones be brought from hurting their children to helping and loving them.
Although the study was thorough, you should know the database of abuse cases did not, in fact, could not, report on spiritual mistreatment directed toward children.
Even so, my personal observation says the percentage of children spiritually abused and neglected is very high. Too often I have seen believing and unbelieving parents who regularly feed their baby's body but decline to do the same in regard to his or her soul. I cannot count the number of Christian parents who forgot the promises they made to the Lord when their child was baptized.
Although spiritual abuse is never reported on the evening news, its occurrence can have eternal consequences. This is why I invite you to pray for parents everywhere. May the Spirit move them so they see the importance of bringing their children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Pray they understand the value of helping their little ones trust the Savior who gave His life so they might have eternal life.
By God's grace may we be able to say about everyone: "from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus" (2 Timothy 3:15).
THE PRAYER: Dear Lord Jesus, You have entrusted children to us for but a short time. May we make the best use of these days and do all we can to introduce our children to You, the One who loves them even more than we. In Your Name. Amen.
In Christ I remain His servant and yours,

With some shakeups in the NBA, here are some of under the radar guys to take a look at in fantasy basketball right now.
Patty Mills- He is only owned in 44% of leagues on Yahoo and is a candidate to go off on any given night for daily fantasy. He is averaging 11.4ppg, 2.1rpg 3.6apg and two 3pt made on the season. He is putting up those numbers on 49% shooting and 94% from the free throw line. With Tony Parker being in and out of the lineup, he has continued to rack up minutes and is averaging 23mpg, which is a career-high.
Ersan Ilyasova- Ilyasova is owned in just 59% of leagues on Yahoo, but he is putting up very solid numbers. Since being traded to the Sixers, he is averaging 14.2ppg, 6.3rpg, 1.8apg, and two 3pt made on 46% shooting. If you need scoring, 3's and some rebounds, you can do a lot worse than Ilyasova right now and with Nerlens Noel and Jahlil Okafor out, he should continue to see the 27mpg that he averages right now.
Thabo Sefolosha- If you need a little boost in multiple categories and have a spot on your roster, then Sefolosha may be a worth a look. Sefolosha has played at least 29 minutes since being put in the stating lineup and with Tim Hardaway Jr. down with a knee injury, he should continue to get minutes. As you can see below, he has put up some solid numbers all across the board in his last three. He is owned in just 19% of leagues on Yahoo but since he is not likely to go off, he may not be a great pick for daily fantasy.
Andre Roberson- He is far from a sexy pick, but he is owned in just 15% of leagues on Yahoo and he is a good candidate as a punt-pick to go along with Russell Westbrook in daily fantasy. He is coming off his best 5-game stretch of the season, averaging 9.2ppg, 4.8rpg, 1.2apg, 1.6bpg, 1.2spg, and 1.4 three-pointers made per game.

Post by Caroline O'Rourke
The water crisis has been an ongoing topic in Cape Town, South Africa for the past few years now. "Day Zero" – the day when there would be no water supply left in the city has been lurking in the minds of the individuals inhabiting the area. After spending a little over a week in the city and meeting the locals, the water crisis becomes clear and better understood. I had the opportunity to meet with Mike Webster, the Director of Water Sanitation in Cape Town, to hear about the water situation in the city. He stated that one of the biggest factors to the low water supply was the lack of rainfall. Starting in 2015 and continuing through 2017, the rainfall hit an all-time low. This helped to create a major shortage in water, which forced individuals to make changes.
Webster says that 70% of the water use was coming from residential areas. These people needed to make the biggest change and needed the most help. When the water supply was low, informal settlements were selling water to formal settlements. Invasive species were being removed on Table Mountain so that water could be reached. After staying in the city, it also was evident to see that measures to preserve water were made through using bottled water that came from outside sources at restaurants. Hotels and public areas would have signs that would ask people to help the environment and to think twice before using water.
According to Webster, the biggest way that Cape Town was able to get through the drought was by reducing demand. Demand was reduced by 40% by the time 2018 came around. This was achieved by economic incentives and strong communication to the locals. The idea of "Day Zero" was ingrained into everyone's minds so that people made a conscious effort to make changes. This resulted in Cape Town becoming the #1 water saving city in the world with a 55% reduction between 2015 and 2017. Day Zero is a day that won't be reached anymore and Cape Town will still be able to enjoy the water supply they have, while still taking measures to conserve water.
The research that I did prior to class revolved around the water crisis in Cape Town, which is why it was so interesting to visit there. One of the biggest preconceived notions that I had formed was that Cape Town was still in the water crisis and that they were never going to get out of it. As I stated earlier in this post, that is no longer the case and Cape Town has beat the water crisis that once posed an issue that was seen as too big to undertake. Some of the other research that I had found was that South African soldiers had been assigned to guard the water spots within the city to prevent illegal activity regarding taking the water supply. After sitting down with Webster, it seemed that these measures were not taken and the way in which people were asked to cut down water was done in a different way. Webster said that people could only have up to 50 liters of water a day, which forced people to cut back. They didn't have a choice, they were only supplied that amount. By taking this measure, it gave the city more time to get their water situation settled. Cape Town does now not have to worry about the Day Zero that was expected to come. They beat their water crisis.

Terminally ill Star Wars fan dies days after having final wish to see Rogue One movie granted
Neil Hanvey sadly died just two days after watching Rogue One from his hospice bed - more than three months before the films release
A TERMINALLY-ill Star Wars fan got a special screening of the new movie four months before it is due to be released.
Cancer sufferer Neil Hanvey, 36, watched the spin-off film Rogue One from his hospice bed. He died two days later.
Staff launched an online campaign named #RogueOneWish after Neil, of Oldham, was told in April he had six months to live.
It was retweeted by actor Mark Hamill, who plays Luke Skywalker, then seen by director Gareth Edwards.
Neil's wife Andrea said: "We would like to thank the tens of thousands of people who supported the campaign.
"We would also like to thank carer Amy Duncan, without who RogueOneWish would not have happened."
A spokesman for St Michael's Hospice in Hereford said: "The director of Rogue One did all he could to make Saturday a special day for Neil.

"Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower."
-Albert Camus
Yesterday morning after dropping our kids off at school, my friend and former job share partner at Starbucks, Heidi, and I went leaf picking.
She asked me to help her collect the perfect colors of leaves for a photo shoot for the new Starbucks Thanksgiving Blend packaging. Without giving too much away, she said the coffee packaging has a lot of "my" orange on it.
We had so much fun noticing the beauty and uniqueness of each leaf. We strolled. We commented. We picked. It was almost addictive. It's like stopping to smell the roses, but using a different sense. Oh what fun!
In the middle of it Heidi suggested she should write a guest post for my blog - behind the scenes at the photo shoot. No pressure, Heidi, but I think that would be great!
In the meantime, I had fun staging my own little photo shoot at home with some of the lovelies we picked up.
Did you know Thanksgiving is only 29 days away - but who's counting?!!

Twisting roads, ruins, hikes, a waterfall and every shade of green possible. How could you not visit Killarney National Park?
Killarney National Park is not a large park but well worth spending some time. The drive through the park is very scenic and includes a double lane tunnel, a famous view point, and lots of beautiful green forests.
The road twists throughout the entire park and is very well maintained with lots of room for oncoming traffic. Larger roads makes us happy!
Along the drive you'll go thru a double lane tunnel carved through the rock.
The scenery was stunning. Lots of green trees, ferns and moss and plenty of purple rhododendrons. We read that the rhododendrons were actually becoming a problem as they are an invasive plant. As it spreads it starves the native plants of sunlight and food.
One of the most famous view points is Ladies View which provides a fantastic view of the Upper Lake and the surrounding area.
We left Ladies View and less than a minute later we passed Ladies View Castle. This was a cool castle, now a ruin, on the side of the road. We found some parking closeby so off we go to explore.
Next and last on our drive was going to Torc Waterfall. We found a nice sized parking lot that was nearly empty. Just beyond the parking lot was a sign stating the waterfall was only a five minute walk.
The hike to the waterfall was spectacular. We practically had the hike and the falls all to ourselves. Everything was green and reminded us of a rainforest!
Here are a few photos from the parking lot to the waterfall and then up a set of stairs beyond the waterfall.
Killarney National Park is a great way to spend the day. Plenty of hikes, some easy and others a bit more strenuous, but each allows the park to be enjoyed in different ways.
Whether you are interested in hiking or not, the park offers plenty of sights and photo opportunities. You can't go wrong visiting this park.

A new report on access to justice for children with cognitive disabilities in Ireland has been published by the Centre for Disability Law and Policy at NUI Galway. The project focused on access to justice in three main areas of a child's life: education, decisions about where a child lives and the criminal justice system.
One issue raised by the report was that the child's voice was often not heard in proceedings. Existing laws are not interpreted or used consistently to accommodate for the voice of the child in Ireland, according to the report. Interviews with experts consistently showed that cultural and attitudinal barriers often operate to exclude children with cognitive disabilities in non-criminal proceedings.
The report's co-author Dr Eilionóir Flynn, Acting Director of the Centre for Disability Law & Policy at NUI Galway, said: "We need to involve children with disability. The mantra should be 'nothing about us without us'. Access to justice for children with cognitive disabilities in Ireland would include first and foremost access to education (including mainstream education) and educational supports for children with cognitive disabilities. Importantly, children with cognitive disabilities should be meaningfully involved in decision making about where they attend school. The appeals procedure should include views of the child and have the requisite supports to enable a child with a cognitive disability to do so."
Jennifer Kline of the Centre for Disability Law & Policy at NUI Galway, who co-authored the report, said, "Children with disabilities face real barriers, for example, in term of inclusive education. Parents spoke of children being excluded from mainstream schools because of "health and safety concerns" which they found very hard to contest. The key barriers identified included the timeframe for complaints and the lack of support to make a complaint. Also of concern were delays and inaccessibility of hearing processes, and retaliation for complaints made."
The report is part of an EU funded-project involving similar studies in Lithuania, Slovenia, Spain, Romania, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Latvia and the United Kingdom.
The project gathered data in these EU countries on access to justice for children with mental disabilities and developed standards in relation to protection of privacy, child participation, accessible information, legal representation and protective measures. As well as promoting this research, it developed training and educational materials for use by policy-makers, the judiciary and the police.

We have been made aware of several broad allegations made by The Guardian/ITV in relation to inappropriate procedures, food safety and hygiene issues at two of our poultry processing facilities.
We view these allegations extremely seriously.
However, we have not been given the time or the detailed evidence to conduct any thorough investigations to establish the facts, which makes a fulsome response very difficult.
What we can confirm is that hygiene and food safety will always be the number one priority within the business, and they remain at its very core.
We also successfully operate in one of the most tightly-controlled and highly regulated food sectors in the world.
We are subject to multiple and frequent unannounced audits from the FSA, BRC, Red Tractor, independent auditors as well as our customers. By example, our facility in the West Midlands under investigation received nine audits (five unannounced) in the months of July and August alone.
However, we are never complacent and remain committed to continually improving our processes and procedures.

The Barnaby Gear Transport is a common Southern vehicle used to haul military Gears between deployments. These massive wheeled vehicles offer minimal protection, but are more efficient, reduce wear and tear on the carried Gears, and are a more comfortable ride for the pilots. While rarely used in actual combat, these transports are known to roll into a combat zone to deploy their deadly cargo at the front lines. This 1/144 scale resin kit is over 18 parts and can be assembled in multiple configurations of the ramp and rear decorative plate.

Beach -safety
We heard that there was a small notice in the ambulatoria warning people that the sea was not fit to swim in and you could be infected by 'toxins'
No sign of these instructions anywhere else!
With reference to Patricia's letter. I would like to add we have been coming to Torrox for about 10 years – using Penoncillo beach and each summer the sewage has drifted along. Mostly in the afternoons. Each year we are told that Nerja's new sewage disposal plant will be finished but it never is.
It's quite disgusting and puts visitors off going to the beach.
Something has to be done to alleviate this health hazard.
A slightly different take on recent correspondence.
Just remember that the fish and shellfish that are caught and eaten locally all live and eat in these waters.
Makes you think about becoming a Vegan, doesn't it?

Cochineal flies/beetles 'mealy bug' infestation
(Response to previous item requesting info)
Some information that some of you may find helpful.
We have just recently moved to Torrox Campo. Within days of arriving for our first summer the house was filled, at night-time, with white 'mealy bugs' – with windows closed and screens in place. We checked the internet for information and there was a good deal to be found, especially previous posts here, at Digame.
We have a lot of prickly pears surrounding the house so we, with information to hand, began to power spray the plants with water, scrub them and we also sprayed soapy liquids – all to little effect.
We did however find a solution that some of you may be aware of. My partner used a butane, hand-held blow-torch just far enough away from the prickly pear to burn off the 'mealy bugs' without damaging the prickly pear too much. We then went around all of the prickly pears and treated them in this way and the reduction in infestation was remarkable. While this method has been incredibly successful for us we would advise caution. The blow-torch should only be used where the area surrounding the prickly pear has been cleared of all dried garden matter – grasses, dead leaves etc. A garden hose should also be kept handy should anything catch fire. It might even be an idea to hose down the surrounding area before using the blow-torch
We would much rather have left the 'mealy bugs' alone but the level of infestation meant that it just wasn't an option.

Services Needed-Competa Police Station Hours of Work
Can anyone enlighten me as to the opening hours of Competa police station please?
On 4 separate occasions,in normal hours, i have travelled from the campo to the station to take in important papers and collect information from the desk and each time they have been closed. I find this dismaying for residents to say the least and particularly at this time of year,when there is also a general influx of tourists to the village and surroundings.

Hall of Fame Induction Weekend visitors urged to utilize special parking options
(COOPERSTOWN, NY) – Visitors to Cooperstown for the 2019 Induction Weekend, including the Saturday, July 20 Awards Presentation and the Sunday, July 21 Induction Ceremony, are advised to utilize several parking and transportation options in an effort to alleviate potential delays and traffic problems.
The 2019 Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will begin at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, July 21 on the grounds of the Clark Sports Center in Cooperstown. Travelers are advised to allow plenty of time to find parking and transportation to the following points close to the Induction. Because of its small size – with a year-round population of fewer than 2,000 residents and just one traffic light – Cooperstown will fill up quickly during Hall of Fame Weekend. Parking arrangements detailed below will be in place for Saturday, July 20, and Sunday, July 21.
Three trolley lots, located just outside the village limits and color-coded in red, blue and yellow, are available for those visitors in the immediate Cooperstown village area. Parking in these lots is free, and a trolley ticket good for unlimited daily transportation costs $5. The trolley service will operate from 8:30 a.m. until 9 p.m. daily all weekend. Check out the trolley's location at any time at www.followthetrolley.com.
Parking spots in these lots are limited. Hall of Fame shuttle service will provide free shuttle buses from the corner of Main and Fair streets to the Induction site, with continuous service from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and then resuming at the conclusion of the Induction Ceremony. Shuttles will not run during the Induction Ceremony.
Three special paid parking lots will be available only on Sunday, July 21. These lots are located adjacent to the Blue Trolley Lot (paid lot is Cy Young Lot), on Route 33 just east of the Induction Site (paid lot is the Hank Aaron Lot) and on Route 33 south of the Induction Site (paid lot is the Babe Ruth Lot, which also includes shuttle service to the Induction site).
For complete Hall of Fame Weekend information, including a detailed schedule of events, please visit www.baseballhall.org/hofw or call 607-547-7200.
The July 19-22 Induction Weekend will feature four days filled with family-friendly events in Cooperstown as Harold Baines, Roy Halladay, Edgar Martinez, Mike Mussina, Mariano Rivera and Lee Smith are inducted as the Hall of Fame's Class of 2019. The Induction Ceremony takes place at 1:30 p.m. on July 21 on the grounds of the Clark Sports Center, one mile south of the Hall of Fame on Susquehanna Avenue. Admission to the Induction Ceremony is free.
The Ceremony will be televised live exclusively on MLB Network.
The Museum maintains the following Hall of Fame Weekend hours: Friday, July 19: 9 a.m. - 10 p.m.; Saturday, July 20: 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.; Sunday, July 21: 8 a.m. - 9 p.m.; and Monday, July 22: 9 a.m. - 9 p.m. For Hall of Fame Members, doors open at 7 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday and at 8 a.m. on Monday. As always, Hall of Fame Members receive free admission. Interested parties may enroll in the Membership Program in advance at www.baseballhall.org/join or at the Museum.

"How can my class collaborate in ArcGIS Online?" This is an inspiringly frequent question. The good news is that there are several key ways, but they need careful attention to process to work well.
The number one wrong expectation by ArcGIS Online novices is that the basic Map Viewer works just like a "collaborative word processor," with many people editing a single document at once. It doesn't, for good reason. So, just know that, if ten users log in and open the same map, each is working on his/her own version of that map, and saving happens only when a given user clicks "save," and saves a user-specific document in that user's contents. Now, here's how good collaboration can happen.
[1] Users can share documents they have created. OK, sharing is not the same as collaborating, unless thought of in sequential terms. User A can create a map and share with her Org, and/or Group(s) in the Org, and/or the Public. Others can use that as a starting point for their own custom work. (Caution: users planning to save modifications should keep good metadata.)
[2] "Ownership of an item" can be reassigned from one user to another, by an Org admin (or "custom helper" with the privilege to reassign). The admin can go into A's contents, and reassign ownership to B, and so on. (Caution: it passes in the condition last saved, so be sure all saving is completed, including metadata updates, and the current owner has closed the doc before reassigning.)
[2.1] A "shared public login" (Row 3 of http://esri.box.com/agousestrategies) allows users not in an Org to simulate the process above, but extreme caution and self-control must be exercised here, since everyone using the login has equal access to all items at all times. Strictly following a sequence (A starts a map, makes changes, saves it, then closes it; B opens the map, makes changes, saves it, then closes it; more users follow B's strict sequence) in which only one user at a time has the map open, and it is saved and exited before another person opens it, can work. (Having each user quit their browser immediately after saving will ensure there is no "residual version." Alert: Be sure to update and save the metadata before considering it ready to be passed to another user.)
[3] Users in an Org can create and share data layers as components for others to use in building their own map. User A can make a layer of neighborhood parks, B can do stores, C can do bus stops and bike racks, and so on, for sharing with the Group/Org/Public. Each user can then create their own maps. (Alert: If the layer owner changes the layer, those changes will be visible in every map using the layer, which can be in ways other map creator/s might not anticipate.)
[3.1] Even Map Note layers can be shared this way, if the creator of a given layer accesses the layer properties while in the map, and chooses "Save the layer," and then navigates to "My Content" and shares the layer with the Group/Org/Public. (In a "shared public account," since everyone is logged in as the same user, formal sharing is not required. See this document for a step-by-step process description.) Map Note layers shared this way are a "feature collection" (essentially "ad hoc geolocated graphics, each with custom attributes") and not a true "hosted feature service," so no filtering is possible.
[4] Users can collaborate on generating data, such as field data collection activities, via Survey123 or Collector creations. Here, process leaders can decide to share with only certain people (Group or Org) or open it up to the world. Data contributors in this process work according to the parameters set by the creator. This is a hugely powerful opportunity (explore the map app in Fun with GIS 223), which demands much forethought to capture the proper content easily, and to imagine all the conditions under which someone might contribute. The "farther" the contributor is from the collection instrument designer, the greater the chance for misperceptions, hiccups, and errors.
[4.1] Survey123 creators can also share the permission to analyze results from within the Survey123 dashboard.
[4.2] Survey123 creators can even share an entire survey form with someone else in the Org by doing "SAVE AS" in design, then having the admin reassign ownership of the newly created folder and contents.
[4.3] Collector requires an Org login and membership in a group which includes the specific Collector map.
[5] Multiple people can collaborate on a Story Map if, for instance, the group plans out a project, and each person or sub-group is responsible for some of the "raw materials" to be used in different portions of the content, and someone is responsible for pulling the disparate creations into a tidy and sensible whole. For instance, users A,B,C,D,E can collaborate if A,B,C,D each generate independent components and E assembles the final product. (In this case A,B,C,D need to set appropriate sharing, and recognize that any changes made in their contents will appear in E's final product.)
ArcGIS Online software evolves periodically, and collaboration options may change in the future. Be sure to examine the documentation for options. But, for now, focus on the powerful options above. Collaboration is possible, but groups must think through the workflow carefully, understand what is technically possible, and focus on what is good practice under a given situation. Emphasize the steps that will lead to a good result, not necessarily doing everything that is technically possible.

Ryan makes it to the end of the aisle, turning and facing back down it like people at weddings do. The bridesmaids enter, a symphony of pink. I still dig me some Cindy. Tiny flower girls in adorable pink dresses! The ring bearer in a tiny fire engine! That poor little boy. Scarred and mocked forever. My brother played a glockenspiel solo in the third-grade orchestra concert and we still make fun of him constantly, mercilessly, fifteen years later. This is going to be murder. (A glockenspiel is kind of like a xylophone. By the way.)
The music changes abruptly to "Here Comes the Bride." And, well, here comes the bride. And the moment might be considered by some shocking or beautiful, but those people were all there at the event or those who designed that which is shocking and beautiful, but we're been living inside the craw of the planners for the past three weeks, draining any possible dramatic impact entirely away from this moment. Other than that, it's grand, baby. Trista makes her way down the steps and down the aisle, her step ginger and her hair, well, Gilligan's Island's Ginger. It's a little buoyant, wouldn't you say? She processes with her father down the aisle, the helicopters adding nothing but, as my grandmother would say if I had married Ryan, "a whole lot of ruckus."
HRWEG hands off his only daughter (well, Jackie, but whatever...his only daughter) to Ryan with a misplaced "I love you, man" that actually means "now you deal with it, sucka." Trista tells Ryan "you can't kiss me yet" and then again muses on the presence of helicopters. Oh, there are helicopters? RevClint gives them some quick welcoming words and launches right in: "Thank you all so very much for coming to this beautiful place to watch these two amazing people do what they are about to do." That sounds a lot more fun than it turns out. RevClint adds that "we learn to love by being loved." Trista learns to love by watching it on Wednesday nights. This is so sickeningly surreal. I want to eat Trista's bear claw right off the Viennese Table.
A sonnet by Elizabeth Barrett Browning sends the helicopter mix down for a minute as Browning drowns them out spinning in her grave, until Trista screws it up and has to apologize. Ryan screws up too and just keeps going. The poem, incidentally, is the one that begins, "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways." You just start counting, Trista. We'll stop you as soon as you get up to $3,778,000.
"To symbolize the importance of the individuals within the marriage...three colors of sand will now be layered into a vase." Wait, it will? Yes, it will! Trista and Ryan are each given a vase of sand, RevClint snarking on Trista's color of pink and therefore symbolizing that pink jokes are officially over. Ryan's sand is blue. RevClint's is neutral. Wait, is he accidentally getting married to them? Oh, neutral means that the marriage is grounded. No, it doesn't. It means that this sand art in a vase bullshit is one twisted Coke bottle away from being the worst booth on the strip of the most touristy town on Cape Cod.

If you are a data whore you probably already own a NAS where you store all of your home made porn. Well this begs the question what do you do if you have a lot of porn? 2 TB NAS not good enough. 8 TB still not good enough. Heck why not build your own 16 TB NAS from scratch? All you need is some handy welding tools, 8 x 2 TB WD hard drives, ATOM N270 processor and board, and some free time to watch the video. Performance times should look something like 88MB/sec (write) and 266MB/sec (read) rivaling that of most current top end SSD's. Enjoy!
Perhaps the DIY is not for you. Well meet the new lineup of Seagate's GoFlex external hard drives. Basically the idea behind this is they are flexible (hence the name). Got a drive with a USB 2.0 connection and have a computer with USB 3.0? No need to buy a new drive with these drives. Simply buy the USB 3.0 adapter/cable and voila, that Seagate GoFlex magically works with whatever connection you require. eSata, Firewire, tv connection, wifi, whatever you need. Expect the other hard drive manufacturers to follow suit.
Seagate 3 TB hard drives will require new motherboards. Should be coming out later this year so hold off on buying those 1.5 TB and 2 TB drives if you can.

Earlier this year, the Planned Parenthood Federation of America filed its suit in California alleging that activists behind the series of Planned Parenthood "sting" videos released last summer violated a federal law aimed at combating organized crime (the so-called RICO Act). As part of that lawsuit, Planned Parenthood explained how David Daleiden and Sandra Susan Merritt, with an anti-abortion group called the Center for Medical Progress, used fake IDs to lie their way into a Houston Planned Parenthood clinic.
Things haven't exactly gone as planned for Daleiden and Merritt since their undercover visit to Houston last April. Not long after Planned Parenthood filed its lawsuit, the two activists were indicted by a Harris County grand jury for tampering with a government record, a second-degree felony. The charges came after an investigation by Harris County District Attorney Devon Anderson, a Republican whose investigation initially targeted the abortion provider. (Anderson became the subject of this brain-bending conspiracy theory after her investigation swung the other way).
Ironically enough, a second charge against Daleiden mirrors his group's allegations against Planned Parenthood. While Daleiden claimed his undercover footage proved that the women's health provider tried to sell him fetal tissue, the grand jury indicted Daleiden with "unlawfully, intentionally and knowingly offer[ing[ to buy human organs, namely, fetal tissue, for valuable consideration." Daleiden has called himself an "investigative journalist," claiming his tactics — using a false ID to lie his way into a private medical facility — are covered by the First Amendment (naturally, people who study the First Amendment disagree).
Planned Parenthood argues that the videos released by the group – one of which was filmed inside the Houston clinic – caused "incalculable and irreversible" damage to the women's health provider. Late last year, Texas health officials seized on the videos as a reason to boot Planned Parenthood from the joint state-federal Medicaid program – something the feds insist Texas cannot legally do.

Kingdom of God, Come!
When you say, "Kingdom of God, come. Will of God, be," it will manifest in your home and in your business and in your community, in your state and in this nation. You are an ambassador of the King and you will release His Kingdom authority. In the Greek, these words are in a current command tone. His will will be done! Don't be afraid. Get out your Bible and start proclaiming!
"Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven." (Matthew 6:10; NKJV)
Give Him 15 minutes in prayer:
- Read these verses out loud as a current command. Emphasize "come" and "be done". Feel the difference? This was not Jesus petitioning the Father to do these things. He was teaching us to command the will of God to be done in the earth.
- To know the will of God and the ways of His Kingdom, look first to His Word: choose life and command abortion to end in this nation; command righteousness to flow like a river through our nation; command justice for the oppressed; command His glory to be seen across America!
- Command other things that He places on your heart that line up with His will and His Word.
A prayer you can pray:
Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for teaching us how to pray! You did not leave us blind as to what You want us to pray for or how You want us to petition the Father. We ask for forgiveness of our sins and for our daily bread, but we command the Kingdom of God to manifest in the earth! We are enforcing the victory of the cross and resurrection when we pray with this level of confidence and trust in You! Thank you, Lord. Amen.
Today's decree:
Kingdom of God, come! Will of God, be done in the earth, even as it is in heaven!

A Patriot's Wisdom – Patrick Henry
"It is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it." (Patrick Henry, March 23, 1776)1
"You will know the truth and the truth will set you free." (John 8:32; NASB)
Give Him 15 minutes in prayer:
- Hope is critical to our faith in God, but hope has a downside – psychological blindness. Ask the Lord to help you look at the condition of our nation with honesty first (truth), to see how dark things truly are. Let yourself weep over it, if need be.
- Now, ask the Lord to help You see what He plans to do about these dark things. Let hope now arise in your heart that God is able to set things right.
- Intercede on behalf of the United States from this fresh perspective.
A prayer you can pray:
Dear Lord, help me if I have put the cart before the horse and been hopeful for this nation's future without comprehending the truth of the mess we are in. I haven't wanted to really know. I don't like believing that things are really so bad. Open my eyes and show me how bad things are. Now, renew my hope and show me what You plan to do about it. Show me how to pray that all of Your plans come to pass. (Intercede as He shows you.) In Jesus' name, amen.
Today's decree:
The moral condition of the United States is terrible and ugly, but God, You are able to put us back on Your course!

Cultivate Faithfulness
The verse, "Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart," is known by many (Psalms 37:4). However, the verse before this is often overlooked; and in it is a key phrase for unlocking this promise—"cultivate faithfulness." Faithfulness isn't something talked about very much in the American church, but it is a Fruit of the Spirit and should be pursued by every Believer. As we seek out the promises of Psalm 37:4, let's not forget to cultivate faithfulness. Do the "little things" each day and watch how God makes the desires of your heart and the desires of His heart one and the same. (Hannah Sheets)1
"His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'" (Matthew 24:25; NKJV)
Give Him 15 minutes in prayer:
- Ask the Lord to help you become more faithful in your walk with Him—in the big and small things.
- Ask the Lord to make the desires of His heart and the desires of your heart the same thing.
- If you have a big dream, ask the Lord what small steps you can be faithful in today that will lead to the fulfillment of that dream.
- God has a plan for America. Continue to be faithful to pray daily for this nation, until God's dream is a reality!
A prayer you can pray:
Lord, I want faithfulness to be a fruit that is evident in my life. Help me to not overlook the little things or the simple things in my walk with You. Cultivate faithfulness in my life and show me things I can do to be more faithful. Share Your heart for our nation with me, Lord, and prompt me to pray daily until Your dream is a reality! In Jesus' Name, Amen.
Today's decree:
I desire to be faithful in my walk with You, Lord!

Our Anxiety is Not God's Anxiety
We get anxious about so many things. Most of us are worried about the direction our nation is going. Our minds imagine all sorts of negative scenarios, but God is not falling off His throne! Do you really think you can change anything by worrying or by scheming and trying to figure out what will bring about the best outcome? He invites us to pray and enter His rest, because there He can calm our hearts and show us how much He cares. Then, He can give us His directions and surprise us with His answers! (Timmerle Kelly)1
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:6-7; NASB)
Give Him 15 minutes in prayer:
- Confess to God the things that make you feel anxious and even fearful. Repent of any doubt and unbelief, so that He can really deal with these matters.
- Thank Him for caring about these things more than you do! Thank Him for His intervention and the answers that are coming.
- Now, filled with refreshed faith and peace, ask Him again to intervene in the affairs of man. Be specific in your requests.
A prayer you can pray:
Dear Lord, forgive me for being fearful about (be specific). Forgive me for not really believing that You care as much about these things as I do. This thought pattern makes me think You won't answer my prayers and makes me feel anxious and even hopeless. Help me to see that You care far more about these things than I do! Thank You so much for exchanging my anxiety with Your peace! I believe You hear my prayers. Amen.
Today's decree:
The Lord cares about my concerns more than I do, therefore I throw my anxiety on Him!

Praying for Prodigals—Praying, Not Judging
On a visit to New York with my husband years ago, our host pastor was driving us around the Brooklyn area. While waiting at a traffic light I looked out the window and saw a drunk man who had stepped into a glass-walled phone booth to escape the cold wind. He had passed out, but the restricted space of the booth caused him to crumple into a heap. How could a person allow himself to get into such a state? I thought self-righteously. But God knew my heart and read my thoughts. Instantly, I sensed His rebuke: My Son died for him, just as He died for you. You should be praying for him instead of condemning him. I repented for my spiritual pride and asked God to forgive me. Since then, I've asked Him to help me see people as He does, and to pray for them with compassion that someone will cross their path who can share God's unconditional love with them and give them hope. (Ruthanne Garlock)1
"'Celebrate with me! I've found my lost sheep!' Count on it—there's more joy in heaven over one sinner's rescued life than over ninety-nine good people in no need of rescue." (Luke 15:6-7: TLB)
Give Him 15 minutes in prayer:
- Ask Holy Spirit to sensitize you to the people you encounter with whom you can share a word of hope to point them to the Savior.
- As you pray for your own prodigal, remember the many others who may not have a praying loved one, and stand in the gap for them.
- Ask God to cause prodigals to remember the love they once knew at Father's house, and give them the desire to return home.
A prayer you can pray:
Lord, forgive me for self-righteously judging others while overlooking my own sinful pride. Thank You for accepting me when I was a rebel and embracing me with Your love. Help me to be an instrument of love and reconciliation toward those you bring across my path. Amen.
Today's decree:
I desire to have a pure heart toward others and to be one who brings hope to the hopeless!

Pastors—God's Front Line
Pastors are in the forefront in America's communities—leading and teaching their people how to exhibit God's heart of compassion, mercy and grace. They call us to acknowledge our responsibility to share the gospel, feed the hungry, clothe the poor. They marry us and bury us. They preach, counsel, visit the sick and oversee countless details. Let's remember to pray daily for them. (Quin Sherrer)1
Scripture: "With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, my words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel." (Ephesians 6:18-19; NIV)
Give Him 15 minutes in prayer:
- Pray for the pastors you know that they may be bold in sharing Biblical truths in the pulpit and community.
- Ask the Lord to let peace reign in their homes.
- Pray protection over them and bless their families.
- Ask the Lord to send the Holy Spirit to encourage and guide them in all their decisions.
A prayer you can pray:
Lord, thank you for the pastors who intercede in prayer for our needs and concerns and also for our nation. Give them wisdom beyond their experience for the tasks they daily face. Meet their spiritual, physical, and emotional needs. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Today's decree:
May our nation's pastors feel loved, and be strengthened and renewed by our intercession for them today!

:o) now I have the full story! I play clarinet, started when I was 10 I think, lovely instrument. Just as we were leaving the pub I mentioned to a friend that Missy was thinking of taking up the instrument, and was given a beautiful old clarinet, she now has my old one! Gorgeous, precious gift. Ian bought me a sax for my birthday a while back, I really need to continue teaching myself that one, but the time, I have none.
We had Frasers half size guitar re stringed as he is a leftie, he plods with it every now and then but no real interest, yet. Singing in our house though, if I could get them to take it seriously, they have lovely voices.
Ah.....happy days, kind of wishing we hadn't left the piano in the Uk but we had a wall built which boxed the wretched thing in and I wasn't in the mood for removing a window from a 600 year old building to get it out!

Well at least you know what you're doing, which is more than I do.
Ditz is the only one here who can sing though. She gets a little snooty every now & then but I just skyrocketed in her opinion because I actually managed to tune her guitar!!! :) OK, so I used the tuner but I did it while Ditz couldn't do it even *with* the tuner!

We must have 2 consecutive good years to be allowed to stay, so pressure still on for another year at the very least. If that goes well we can apply for residency. If we don't do it all before Aug 2012 we get booted out of the country!
Yes, I have enjoyed the time off, nice to have the children all at home and also nice for it to just be us, we have a couple of regular stayers which I don't mind but sometimes it is nice to just be with mine :o)
Are you sugesting I am not demented? aw how kind you are :o)

The Lord is good! You know someone is truly blessed by the Lord with talent when the things needed to use that talent just come to her!
I also played guitar and I have a twelve string I pick at now and then as well as the bowed psaltery--and the piano...? What is it with me and strings, all of which must be tuned? I was toying with the idea of learning piano tuning once not only to save us money but to make a bit as well. However, I am like you, I need a tuner to help out. It seems I tend to make my the string of G, which is F on a twelve string, a tad flatter than everyone else, which of course means the last two high strings are also a bit flat.

Well, the mere fact that you can intelligently discuss things musical is impressive to me, as I am a complete and utter dunce about such things. I love how God lavishes us with gifts. Once, after a particularly miraculous occurrence of God's provision, Amelia said she couldn't understand how people could *not* believe in God. I tend to agree with her.
Oh, and a thought about the movie review report thing. Could you write a report yourself, related your discussion- say that Ditz had presented an oral report, and defended her view in debate form, giving an example of her arguments, etc. Just squirrel it away to use when you have to write up your reports. I do that sort of thing all the time, lol. It's truly amazing what can qualify as "school." But as a former public school teacher, I don't feel the slightest bit guilty- in fact that is how much of what constitutes "education" is justified;)

I know a few chords, but I can't play - despite my cousin attempting to teach me a few years back (Norm, the cousin I chatter about - he's played since he was about 5)...I'm just completely hopeless when it comes to music. Well, I can play the harmonica ~ does that count? :-P

That's remarkable provision going on there for Ditz with all her instruments. How wonderful. Hmmmm....I must add that my oldest daughter just had her first guitar lesson last week. She is now in the stage of practicing EVERY day FAITHFULLY. I keep telling myself, it is a good thing, but yes, quite some thing to listen to at first.......wheww.

Flash Diffusers
I've been lurking here since Feb. after making the decision to upgrade to a DSLR, an e620 with both kit lenses plus 50 f/2 and 70-300. Since the built in flash is considered weak (I've never seen a properly exposed photo w/the pop-up and mine won't do it either) an external flash was purchased as well. My choice was a Vivitar 383 which is marketed as an fl50 work-alike.
In normal usage it seems to work fairly well: 1) Auto exposure works fairly well beyond about 3'; 2) plenty strong enough for bounce flash in ordinary sized rooms and 3) the built in reflector provided enough frontal fill.
I was also curious how it would work for "quick and dirty" close-up when I didn't want to set up a my tent and that is the main subject of this post. Findings as follows: 1) at 2' or less the flash and Auto or Program could not throttle the flash back enough to prevent extreme overexposure and 2) Using the built in diffuser and switching to aperture priority f/16 would produce reasonable exposures. I also tried three third party diffusers, a Sto-Fen like diffuser, an Opteka fold flat w/a front face ~4"x5", and an Opteka inflatable w/a front face of 6"x8.5"
Photo 1 - The diffusers tested.
Photo 2 - Built in diffuser.
Photo 3 - Bounce w/built in reflector, the auto setting of f/5.6 works well.
Photo 4 - Sto-Fen type diffuser
Photo 5 - Fold flat diffuser

Final Photo
Photo 1 - Inflatable diffuser, this diffuser attenuated the flash so little that f/16 was still over exposed. Using the built in diffuser plus the inflatable cut the light enough that f/16 worked.
Conclusions: Not surprisingly only bounce was a reasonable simulation of a light tent. The built in diffuser modified the light quality very little and was fundamentally just an attenuator. The Sto-Fen didn't do much more the built in.

A.C., the bounced light #3 is definitely the softest light, the problem with the light modifiers you showed is that they are not changing the relative size of the light they Are just spreading it out in different directions. To get soft light you must think size not diffusion, when you bounce off a white ceiling or wall the ceiling or wall becomes the light source not the flash. in theory, say when you bounce off the ceiling you get a 4x8 ft. projection on the ceiling, your relative light source is now 4x8 ft. lighting your subject, not the 2x4 inch flash head.

I realize that. However at two feet or less the relative size of a 6"x8" diffuser is large enough to be a larger light source and the inflatable did have the softest shadow of any of the direct illuminators. Shooting ten feet across a room they are identical other than attenuation.
It would be very difficult to fit a larger inflatable softbox to the flash without moving the flash off camera, not necessarily a bad idea in and of itself.

Hiya. I have nothing terribly exciting to report today except that finally having a day off has been wonderful! 🙂
I went to the mall and did a bunch of looking, but didn't purchase anything. The mall was sooo crowded so the lines to try anything on or to get to the cash register were much too long for me. I did spot a Subway while I was walking around which is always a nice option when I'm on the go. I actually tried to find the food court but somehow got lost and found the Subway again so I figured it was meant to be. I got a 6″ veggie delite on wheat with pepperjack cheese.
I had them toast the bread with the cheese and then loaded on the veggies. Spinach, green peppers, red onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, and pickles. I also got some Baked Lays to go with it.
Yum. I haven't had Subway in so long and I really do like it as a fast food option.
I did stop at Trader Joe's on the way home from the mall, so not all was lost. I love Trader Joe's but the closest one is about 20 minutes from my house, so I usually have to have an excuse to head out that way to make the trip. I got a lot of produce (blackberries, spinach, bananas, yellow bell pepper), frozen fruit and veggies, and some tart frozen yogurt that I'm excited to try. I also got a lot of other random stuff but hadn't been there in a while so it was necessary. I ended up spending about $55 and am going to try not to go grocery shopping again until next weekend. I've been pretty good lately about using up what I have and not overdoing it at the grocery store, so hopefully this trend can continue.
After I got home from Trader Joe's, I did Jillian Michaels' Yoga Meltdown from ExerciseTV on Demand. I did two bike rides in a row yesterday and the day before so I didn't want to ride again or run, but this workout is pretty challenging. It's 30 minutes and its quick moving, so my heart rate was up and I was sweating, but I also got a lot of good deep stretching in. I had a quick snack after the workout before heading back out to do some more shopping.
This was ~1/2 cup nonfat cottage cheese from Trader Joe's, covered with blackberries and more of the pumpkin flax granola from Whole Foods. I haven't had cottage cheese in ages so when I saw it in Trader Joe's I snagged some and it is delish.
I went to a Sports Authority because I had a coupon for $10 off from the Cherry Blossom 10 Mile run from a few weeks ago and wanted to get some bike accessories. I bought a gel seating pad that fits over your seat, a new water bottle, and a new sports bra. I also stopped at Target and bought a bunch of other stuff I didn't need, making up for buying nothing at the mall. 🙂
I was pretty disappointed when I got home and realized the gel seat cover doesn't fit over my seat! Argh. I'm going to try to return it but I already ripped the cardboard it was attached to. 🙁 Ah well hopefully they'll still take it back. We then decided to order some indian food for dinner from a restaurant we've never tried before. I hadn't had Indian in ages and really didn't feel like cooking, and we were pleasantly surprised with the food! It came in 30 minutes and was hot and delicious! Wil ordered Lamb Vindaloo, and I got Palak Paneer (spinach with cheese) and Okra that was cooked in a spicy sauce. We also got a huge thing of Basamati rice, some naan, and veggie samosas that came complimentary with our order. Here's my plate:
I had one veggie samosa, and basamati rice covered with spinach and okra. Everything was delicious! There was also unpictured yogurt sauce which was super necessary because everything was spicy so the yogurt sauce went with it perfectly and cooled it off. I really missed Indian food and am glad we found a good, cheap place that delivers! I have leftovers of both the veggies, so I just combined them into one container and will look forward to those one day soon.
Hope you're having a nice weekend, too!
