Blow (Film)Edit Block
Blow is a 2001 biopic about the American cocaine smuggler George Jung, directed by Ted Demme (his final film). David McKenna and Nick Cassavetes adapted Bruce Porter's 1993 book Blow: How a Small Town Boy Made $100 Million with the Medellín Cocaine Cartel and Lost It All for the screenplay. It is based on the real life stories of George Jung, Pablo Escobar, Carlos Lehder, and the Medellín Cartel. The film's title comes from a slang term for cocaine.
PlotEdit Block
The film opens to a young George (Johnny Depp) and his parents Fred (Ray Liotta) and Ermine (Rachel Griffiths) of Weymouth, Massachusetts. When George is ten years old, Fred files for bankruptcy and loses everything, but tries to make George realize that money is not important.
As an adult, George moves to Southern California with his friend "Tuna" (Ethan Suplee) and they plan to earn a living by selling marijuana with the help of George's girlfriend, Barbara Buckley (Franka Potente), an airline stewardess who introduces them to Derek Foreal (Paul Reubens), the main dealer. With Derek's help, George and Tuna make a lot of money. Kevin Dulli (Max Perlich), a college student back in Boston, visits them and tells them of the enormous market — and demand — for pot in Boston. With Barbara's help, they start bringing the drugs to Boston.
As the demand grows, they decide to start buying the drugs directly from Mexico with the help of a few minor Mexican drug lords. But two years later, George is caught in Chicago trying to import 660 pounds of marijuana and is sentenced to two years. After unsuccessfully trying to plead his innocence (by reciting the lyrics of Bob Dylan's "It Ain't Me Babe" and insisting that he did no more than "cross an imaginary line with a bunch of plants"), George skips bail to take care of Barbara, who is suffering from, and eventually succumbs to, cancer.
While hiding from the authorities, George visits his parents back in New England. While he is having a heart-to-heart talk with his father, George's mother calls the police, who come and arrest him.
George is now sentenced to 26 months in a federal prison in Danbury, Connecticut. His cellmate Diego Delgado (Jordi Molla) has contacts in the Medellín cocaine cartel and convinces George to help him go into business. Upon his release from prison, George violates his parole conditions and heads down to Cartagena, Colombia to meet up with Diego. They meet with cartel officer Cesar Rosa to negotiate the terms for smuggling 15 kilograms to establish "good faith". As the smuggling operation grows, Diego gets arrested, leaving George to find a way to sell 50 kilos (110 lbs) and get the money in time. George reconnects with Derek in California, and the two successfully sell all 50 kilos in 36 hours, amassing a $1.35 million profit. George is then whisked off to Medellín, Colombia, where he finally meets the group's leader, Pablo Escobar (Cliff Curtis), who agrees to go into business with them. With the help of main middleman Derek, the pair becomes Escobar's top US importer. However, Diego resents George for keeping Derek's identity secret and pressures George to reveal his connection. George eventually discovers that Diego has betrayed him by cutting him out of the connection with Derek. Inspired by the birth of his daughter and chastened by a subsequent drug-related heart attack, George severs his relationship with the cartel and vows to leave the drug business forever.
All goes well with George's newfound civilian life for five years, until his wife Mirtha (Penelope Cruz) organizes a 38th birthday party for him. Many of his former drug associates attend, including Derek, who reveals that Diego eventually cut him out as well. The party is raided by the FBI and George is arrested. Following his conviction, he becomes a fugitive. Meanwhile, his bank account — heretofore under Manuel Noriega's protection in Panama — is seized. One night, he and Mirtha get into a fight while driving. They are pulled over by police and Mirtha tells them Jung is a fugitive and has stashed a kilogram of cocaine in his trunk. He is sent to jail for three years, during which Mirtha divorces him and takes custody of their nine-year-old daughter, Kristina Sunshine Jung (Emma Roberts). On his release he finds himself struggling to keep his relationship with his daughter on good terms.
George promises Kristina a vacation in California and seeks one last deal to garner enough money for the trip. George completes a deal with former accomplices but learns too late that the deal had been set up by the FBI and DEA, with Dulli and Derek having leaked the nature and location of the action in exchange for pardons for their involvement in his prior action. George is sentenced to 60 years at Otisville Correctional Facility in upstate New York. He explains in the end that neither the sentence nor the betrayal bothered him, but that he can never forgive himself for having to break a promise to his daughter.
While in prison, George requests a furlough to see his dying father. His unforgiving mother denies the request, saying a visit would only upset George's father. He is given a tape recorder to record a final message to his father. In the message, George recounts his memories of working with his father, his run-ins with the law, and finally, too late, his understanding of what his father meant when he said that money is not "real".
The film closes with George as an old man in prison, imagining that his daughter (Jaime King) finally comes to visit him. She slowly fades away as a guard calls for George. The film concludes with notes indicating that Jung's sentence will not expire until 2015, and that his daughter has yet to visit him (though his daughter did finally visit him a year after the film's release). The film's final image is a photograph of the actual George Jung.

SoundtrackEdit Block
Blow's soundtrack is a compilation of songs and artists from the 1970s, such as: "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" by The Rolling Stones, "All the Tired Horses" by Bob Dylan, "Rumble" by Link Wray, "Glad and Sorry" by Faces, "Strange Brew" by Cream, "Black Betty" by Ram Jam, "Blinded By the Light" by Manfred Mann's Earth Band, "Let's Boogaloo" by Willie Rosario, "Keep It Comin' Love" by KC & the Sunshine Band, "That Smell" by Lynyrd Skynyrd, "Can't You See" by The Marshall Tucker Band, and "Push & Pull" by Nikka Costa.
Graeme Revell also composed the original score for the film. However, his work was not released in the soundtrack CD. For example, the music in the scene where George and Mirtha have sex, a track titled "Little Ditty", written and performed by Paul Wagner, is missing in the soundtrack album.
ReceptionEdit Block
Blow was a minor box office success. With a budget of roughly $53 million, it managed to rake in just under $53 million domestically, but raised just over $30 million internationally for a worldwide total of $83,282,296. Reviews for Blow were decidedly mixed. The film holds an approval rating of 54% at Rotten Tomatoes based on 135 reviews (74 positive, 61 negative), where the consensus is: "With elements that seem borrowed from movies like Goodfellas and Boogie Nights, Blow is pretty much been-there-done-that despite another excellent performance from Johnny Depp. It also becomes too sentimental at the end."
Rob Gonsalves from eFilmCritic.com gave the film 4 out of 5 stars stating: "Blow isn't really a classic, but it's a sobering story well-told."Roger Ebert gave the film 2½ out of 4 stars, but questioned the value about making Jung the subject of this film, stating: "That's the thing about George [Jung]. He thinks it's all about him. His life, his story, his success, his fortune, his lost fortune, his good luck, his bad luck. Actually, all he did was operate a toll gate between suppliers and addicts. You wonder, but you never find out, if the reality of those destroyed lives ever occurred to him." David Nusair of Reel Films also questioned making a film about Jung, stating "The biggest problem with Blow is that Jung is such a complete moron." Nusair concludes that while it "is not a bad film ... the central character of George Jung just doesn't seem worthy to be the center of attention." Christopher Smith from Bangor Daily News gave the film a "D+", stating "Blow is ultimately more about charisma than it is about truth, more about Depp's smooth strut and tousled hair than it is about George Jung's fatal flaws — his stupidity, desperation, ego and small-town greed."

Honolulu Waldorf School has sued 20 Niu Valley residents who appealed the city administration's approval of the school's expansion to accommodate 100 high-schoolers.
The school also sued the city Zoning Board of Appeals and its chairman because no decision has been made for more than eight months.
The residents appealed the case to the board, which has been stymied in the case.
Three of the five zoning board members recused themselves due to conflicts of interest. With just two members left, the board is unable to reach a majority decision, necessary to decide the case.
One of those named in the suit, Marty Plotnick, a 25-year Niu Valley resident, said he felt betrayed.
"I felt insulted," he said. "I felt basically that these petitioners -- 20 of us -- were betrayed by Waldorf. We have been dealing with them ... in good faith."
Honolulu Waldorf School wanted to break ground this summer because the lease expires in 2010 for its high school in Kahala. It had plans to relocate it to the Niu Valley site, where 240 students attend preschool through eighth grade, situated in the middle of a residential neighborhood.
Plotnick said he and fellow resident and attorney Eric Seitz had to reassure others upset by the suit. Seitz is representing them for free.
Waldorf's attorney, Wil Yamamoto, said the school named the residents in the suit to prevent them from relitigating the matter individually.
The suit's purpose is to ask the court to determine how to move the zoning board process forward without a quorum, Yamamoto said.
"There's nothing that allows for substitution; we're stuck," Yamamoto said. "I believe the petitioners are happy with the situation."
City attorneys have suggested a rule change that would allow a provision to remedy this situation, but Waldorf cannot wait the three months or more it would take.
"It's threatening Waldorf's ability to continue with its project," Yamamoto said.
Yamamoto said the rule says that a failure to obtain a majority vote at two separate meetings would mean the appeal is automatically denied.
He insisted Waldorf is not trying to stop the residents' appeal, but said, "We can't wait that long."
Yamamoto said the only residents named in the lawsuit are those who appealed the city planners' decision, not the entire neighborhood.
Connie Starzynski, administrative director for Honolulu Waldorf School, said the school officials want their students, many of whom have started from kindergarten, to be able to continue through high school.
"We made it clear from the beginning we have no issue with preschool through eighth grade," Plotnick said. "The issue with us is that the community and the infrastructure cannot support a high school."
Plotnick added: "The school made a serious mistake in underestimating us, that we're a bunch of old fogeys and they would intimidate us. We're not intimidated. Instead, we got angry. How dare they try to take away our constitutional rights?"

Various intelligence agencies scramble to get their hands on Albert Einstein's lost manuscript, the solution to the Theory of Everything, in Dimodica's (Covert Matters, 2008) thriller.
The CIA's belief that Einstein solved the TOE and hid his final manuscript was pure conjecture, but the document may have resurfaced. The TOE solution can be used to manipulate the forces of nature and, in the wrong hands, as a weapon. The agency sends special activities division operative Terry Solak and theoretical physicist Melissa Hastings to Istanbul to recover and verify the manuscript. But they're already behind Tefvik Yilmaz of the Dönmeh, a secret organization in Turkey. He's been tracking and killing the keepers, a circle of scientists that's kept the document concealed for years. Soon, everyone from Russian intelligence agents to Mossad officer David Reisman heads to Morocco, hoping to retrieve the TOE solution from one of the last keepers. The exhilarating novel showcases myriad agencies and characters, some of whom have less than reputable agendas. Short chapters that bounce from scene to scene give the story a steady tempo. To help the reader remember important players, Dimodica spotlights certain characters, like Americans Terry and Melissa or the mysterious Farraj, who offers to help David but whose true allegiance is initially unclear. Yilmaz is unquestionably the most fascinating. A prominently featured bad guy (and the deadliest), Yilmaz also has a complicated back story. He was a victim of rape while at an orphanage and is later taken in by Oguz Ghanem, his Dönmeh benefactor, who treats him like a son. Terry's history, on the other hand, is unknown. He initially seems condescending, apparently believing that one of Melissa's better traits is the fact that she doesn't ask questions. Nevertheless, readers will savor the more overt qualities of the hero-villain duo. Terry, for example, faces armed men regardless of whether he's armed or not, while Yilmaz winks at someone he then shoots in the head and does cringe-worthy things with other people's fingernails. The story picks up even more speed as it nears its indelible ending.
Rife with action, suspense, and a final act that's fully energized.

Black Ant Coffee in Mae Sariang proved to be a feasible work location, that also provided a sense of relaxation along with a healthy dose of nature. Mae Sariang is a small rural town, with a strip of guesthouses nestled along the river. It is here that Black Ant Coffee, which also operates a separate resort, is perched. It's a rustic space with a few tables indoors, and a focus on enjoying the outdoors, sipping on a coffee underneath the mango trees whilst gazing at the surrounding greenery. Even though the tables are outside, the tree coverage provides excellent shade and is a welcome retreat from the sun. There are various power points outside, so its possible to power up the laptop, and the WiFi is good and stable. Mae Sariang is a quiet town, so you'll find little to distract you in your day's work in this cafe. Welcome distractions include the daily sight of farmers herding buffalo across the river, the rippling sound of the water, and the sound of birds from the trees above.
Whilst simple and rustic, Black Ant Coffee provides a quiet space from which to focus on a day's work, along with a good local style coffee. They also serve up a range of cold and hot drinks and a couple of simple cakes. If you're looking for something substantial to eat, you can order from the restaurant next door which dishes up standard local Thai fare, based on noodles and rice.
The workplace roundup:
- Outdoor desks with wonderful views
- Local style coffee
- Powerpoints
- Reliable, decent wifi: speedtest results from my visit
- Work under the trees, surrounded by birds, bees and buffalows
- Secluded, relaxing, chilled
- Secluded, relaxing, chilled (some people may not find this town offers enough in the socialising aspect & there are not many other digital nomads around town)
- Working outside can be hot – I'd recommend this workspace in the cooler or wetter months
- Wear a hat…. there are birds above!
- Food from outside – but hey, the restaurant next door is literally 1 metre away – so its not that hard!
More about Mae Sariang…
Accommodation is available in the adjacent resort: Black Ant Resort. Simple, yet lovely rooms are positioned below the cafe, overlooking the river. It's a location that's hard to beat! There's a range of other guesthouses and hotels in town that also offer really good accommodation. My favourite picks were:
- Riverhouse Hotel (teak house) – high end budget / mid range accommodation with good food
- Above the Sea (not overlooking the river, but they offer a pool along with clean, modern accommodation & scooter hire.
- River house Resort (higher end accommodation that also has a nice garden for relaxing out front)
- There are various other great guesthouses and hotels in town – just check out your favourite online website. Travelfish, Agoda and WikiTravel list most of the accommodation for the town, whereas some of the other sites only list the bigger places.
There's a couple of nice bars for relaxed dining and entertainment at the end of a day's work. Just hit the main strip on the river, and you'll find some great spots and hopefully meet some of the nice locals or some of the many Thai folk who pass through on their way to Pai or Chiang Mai.
You can't beat a couple of days on the scooter around this town. Just ask the locals where to go, there's a multitude of waterfalls, Karen villages, rainforests and viewpoints to explore. You can also look out into Myanmar from the Salawin River. This is a very nice, secluded part of Thailand, and you're likely to enjoy a very authentic experience here. Additionally, Mae Sariang is nestled along the Mae Hong Son loop, so it is a great place to sit back and relax if you're doing the rounds on a bike or by car. Mae Sariang also makes a great place to go hiking. Although you can visit the villages by yourself, going with a guide will ultimately open up better opportunities to make the most of the opportunity. Salawin Tours and North West tours among others offer great local trips. This area isn't as easily "accessible" on your own compared to other parts of Thailand, as its not so much on the tourist trail. However, you can obviously break down some of the barriers of going on your own if you know some Thai language, or if you're happy to roll with the punches!

Sega gathered the Japanese press in Tokyo today for a press conference to give an updated look at the third entry in the Yakuza installment, coming to the Japanese PS3 early next year as Ryu ga Gotoku: Kenzan!. Held at Club EX in Tokyo's Shinagawa area, Impress Watch and Dengeki report that the event saw first details on the game's release and appearances by producer Toshihiro Nagoshi and some surprise voice and music talent.
The first order of business was an announcement of the game's release date. Yakuza 3 will hit Japan on March 6, Sega announced, carrying a price point of 7,980 yen, or about $75. This may seem high, but it's pretty standard for a high profile third party PS3 title in Japan.
First taking the stage was someone who doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Yakuza series, radio DJ and Pride announcer Kei Grant. Grant, who will be doing the narration for Yakuza 3's opening, served as today's MC.
His first matter of business was to call Executive Director Hideki Okamura to the stage. Okamura announced that the Yakuza series has sold 1.7 million units and commented that by playing Yakuza 3, players will be able to feel the spirit of the samurai and the Japanese heart, ideas that he believes have faded amongst the Japanese public.
Following a showing of the game's opening movie, Nagoshi took the stage, stating "I personally love Japan, but I've gotten this strange feeling of late, a feeling of loneliness. I wanted to produce something in response to this, so I changed the time frame from the modern period to the historical period."
Nagoshi's introduction was followed by the announcement of the game's voice acting staff. In Japan, the Yakuza series is known for its high class voice talent, and Yakuza 3 looks no different. Voice actor Takaya Kuroda will take the lead role this time around. He'll be joined by Shouta Matsuda, Masaya Kato, Takashi Tsukamoto and Koujyu Meguro.
These aren't the only stars who will be making it into the game, though. Yinling of Joy Toy, a Japanese talent of Taiwanese origin, appeared at the event in full kimono attire as Nagoshi revealed that her voice and likeness are being included in the game. Previously, Yinling had a feature role in Grasshopper Manufacturer's Michigan, a PlayStation 2 game where players controlled a video camera.
In addition to the voice and visual talent, Yakuza 3 will be seeing music offerings from Zeebra and Ketsumeishi. Zeebra will perform the game's opening theme, Bushido. Ketsumeishi will be performing Life is Beautiful, the game's ending theme song.
"Including the area of music, we're trying a number of new things this time," explained Nagoshi. "But it's still of high quality and with a volume typical of the series."
An epic, story driven adventure title could be just what's needed to further boost PS3 sales in Japan, so March can't come soon enough. Hopefully, we won't have to wait too long for an international release.

How to make homemade chicken stock
Soup season is here, and every fall we hail its arrival by preparing a big batch of Homemade Chicken Stock. Making stock from scratch is easy, affordable, nutritious and a great way to ensure that you have this pantry staple on hand whenever it's needed.
Making your own stock is also a great way to utilize leftover food scraps, including chicken bones or carcasses, onion and shallot skins, leek and scallion stems and leaves, celery and carrot ends and leaves, and even fennel fronds. I save these items whenever I can, pop them into a freezer bag labeled with the date, and freeze them until ready to use in stock.
Stock is a slow-cook process, requiring a minimum of at least two hours to extract all the goodness and flavor from the bones and vegetables. The key to a good stock is to keep the heat low and just be patient. There's no need to stand at the pot and monitor it if your heat is low - you can continue on with other home activities while it cooks.
The longer you let it simmer, the richer the stock, and some dedicated cooks will even let it cook overnight. However, I typically keep my chicken stock at a gentle, slow simmer for about four hours, which results in a deep golden, rich and flavorful stock.
For this occasion, I didn't have any chicken bones one on hand, so I used fresh thighs, wings and drumsticks and then removed the meat from the bones after about two hours. I returned the bones back to the pot and saved the cooked chicken, which I'll use later to make an Italian chicken noodle soup called brodo.
Aromatics like onions, garlic, carrots and celery build flavor and are found in most soups and stocks. You could also add bell pepper and/or mushrooms, but I shy away from strongly pungent vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower and kale.
When making a stock, you can use the whole vegetable, including the skins, ends and leaves, so you don't have to deal with a lot of chopping and dicing. If your carrots are clean and free of dirt, you don't even need to peel them, and the natural pigments of the onion peel will bring a deeper, richer color to the stock.
Fresh herbs and seasoning also build flavor and are important components in soups and stocks. In addition to fresh thyme, parsley and black peppercorns, I always include a fistful of fennel stems, including the fronds. While the fennel bulb is strongly anise-flavored, the stems and fronds don't carry that same intensity and instead bring a lovely complexity and depth to the stock without a trace of licorice. I also add a tablespoon of cider vinegar or lemon juice, which helps extract more of the nutrients from the chicken bones.
With our freezer full of chicken stock, it's time to fill our bellies with the warm nourishment of soup, so stay tuned - we have a great recipe coming for you next week. For more soup recipes, visit us online at www.thelostitalian.areavoices.com.
Homemade Chicken Stock
Makes 3 quarts
4 to 5 pounds assorted chicken parts (legs, wings, thighs) or 1 to 2 chicken carcasses
1 yellow onion, halved with skin still on
2 large carrots, scrubbed or peeled and cut in half
2 celery stalks, cut in half, leaves on
4 garlic cloves, cut in half with skin still on
1 large bay leaf
3 to 5 sprigs fresh thyme
6 stems fresh parsley (large handful)
1 to 2 teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon black peppercorns
1 tablespoon cider vinegar or lemon juice
4 to 5 quarts water
Optional flavor-builders:
Fennel fronds with or without stem (no bulb)
Leek leaves
Place all of the ingredients in a large stock pot (6 to 8 quart) and cover with 4 to 5 quarts of water, to about an inch below the top of the pot. Cover pot and bring to a boil over high heat, skimming off any fatty scum that rises to the top.
Once boiling, remove lid from pot and reduce heat to medium-low; simmer gently for 2 to 4 hours. If using fresh chicken parts, remove the meat after 2 hours and return the bones to the stock. Refrigerate or freeze meat for later use. Add more water if stock reduces too much.
Once stock is done, pour it through a fine mesh sieve and discard everything but the liquid. Let cool and then skim off any remaining fat from the surface. Refrigerate overnight and remove any congealed fat from the surface.
Transfer stock to smaller, airtight containers for storage (2 to 4 cups). Refrigerate for up to 4 days or freeze for at least 2 months.
Here are the soups featured in the column that require chicken stock:
• Butternut Squash Puree
• Carrot Ginger Soup
• Cream of Cauliflower Soup

President Dieter F. Uchtdorf in his talk How to focus on the true meaning of Christmas suggests "three things we may want to do to study, ponder and apply in this season of preparation. First, rejoice in the birth of the Savior. Second, ponder his influence in our lives today. Third, look steadfastly for his coming.
Challenge: I am going to use these three things to keep my focus where it should be and to get to know my Savior even more. My goal is to make it more personal for me and my family. It is a time to reassess and look within our lives. I hope you join me in rejoicing and proclaiming that joy!
Isaiah 7:14-17
14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
16 For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings.

The Arsenal boss has stated that the Welshman's first-half effort against Liverpool was wrongly chalked off.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has told the club's official website that Aaron Ramsey's first-half disallowed goal against Liverpool should have counted.
The North Londoners played out an end-to-end 0-0 draw against Brendan Rodgers' side last night at the Emirates Stadium, with both teams having chances to win the game.
The Gunners thought they had taken the lead in the first 45 minutes when Ramsey broke into the visitors' box and slotted an effort past Simon Mignolet after a delightful through-ball from Santi Cazorla.
However, the strike was chalked off and on hindsight it looked as if the Wales international midfielder was level with the last defender.
When asked about the incident and whether the goal should have stood, Wenger had a strong opinion.
"Yes. I cannot say the opposite. It was a regular goal," the long serving French boss told the club's official website.
"It was a period of the game where we maybe had the most problems defensively but it's a regular goal. I can't see why it was cancelled.
"It's clear and on that front you cannot say that Liverpool can complain."
Wenger admitted that he spoke to the officials about the decision but there was little that could be done to change what had happened.
"Yes. I didn't ask for any explanation," Wenger continued.
"What does it change? It's about decision-making and he got it wrong. I could see live that he could not be offside.
"He started his run behind his man. I could see it from where I was but I thought maybe the angle on TV was different.
"It was not and I must say that Liverpool played well in the first half. We were insecure defensively and we gave them many balls. We created trouble for ourselves but even in the first half we had chances."
Arsenal have had a slightly underwhelming start to the new season, with a home defeat to West Ham followed by three points on the road against Crystal Palace.
The Gunners rode their luck to some degree in the first half against Liverpool but played much better in the second half and had some gilt-edged chances to win the game.
The North London club have lofty ambitions of winning the Premier League title this season and as such must deem the most recent result as two points dropped if they are to achieve their objective.

Living in a world and in a society that looks at weight, dress and your looks as the most important quality a person has, it's kinda hard to be imitators of Christ. My niece is about to have her 11th birthday and I know that she will face things at her age that I and her parents didn't dream of facing at that age.
I'll be honest. Even at my age I still face the issues of weight, looks and dress. If I'm not careful, I will covet what other women have and want to look a certain way. Other than what God has intended for me to look like.
When Paul said in Ephesians 5 for us to be "imitators" of Christ, I don't think he was talking about our looks. Can I get an Amen!
In every relationship that I have pursued, I have wanted for that other person to complete me. To give me this amazing reason to get up in the morning and move toward something. To change myself for that person.
This mornings bible study centered on walking in love. Not the kind of love that the world says is ok but the kind of love that always gives and never takes away. We are designed by God for love….. to give love and to be loved.
We live in the flesh yes, but the Spirit of God allows us to love others and to love someone the right way. We can't pick and choose who we love and we sure can't work up the ability to love others.
For me, I find that I am in a place where all that I want to do is desperately get to know and love God more and more. I want it to consume everything about my life. I have found that I don't like myself very much when I am in a relationship or pursuing one. I become this version of me that God did not intend. Does that mean that my prince charming isn't out there? I don't know but I am not going to waste my time running after one until God says that I am ready.
I've tried to look for love in so many other things that I nearly lost myself. I could have continued down that path of despair hoping that in the end I would find what I was looking for but if it wasn't the love of Christ, then it would be false.
We as His children are accepting the worlds view of love. We are accepting lifestyles that are totally unbecoming to believers. We're accepting habits, attitudes, language and music that is totally diabolically against all mighty God.
It's empty view.
So what do we do?
We don't compromise.
We do the right thing, even when everyone else thinks it's weird.
We love others, even when they are not loveable.
When we're talked about or made fun of, we give them the other cheek.
We remember who gives us life.
We remember who created the true meaning of Love.
We trust and know that there is a place in our hearts that only Christ belongs and nothing else will fit there.
We encourage each other.
We speak with authority about our faith. He's given us that power!
We remember that no matter how lonely or alone we may feel, we are never that.
He is with us all the time. From the moment we wake up to the moment we fall asleep, He has taken every step with us. Makes me think about where I take Him.
Please know that if you don't feel loved today…. He loves you and so do I.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Airline stocks fell Monday as investors worried over market uncertainty, shrugging off a strong September revenue report from Continental Airlines.
The NYSE Arca Airline Index XAL, +2.20% declined 2% to close at 42.89 points with all but two of its 12 components trading lower. The sector benchmark struck a three-year high earlier in the session at 44.21 points.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +1.23% fell 0.7%, or 78 points, to 10,751 after the downgrade of one of its components heightened anxiety over corporate results ahead. Read Market Snapshot on investor uncertainty.
Airlines begin reporting their quarterly results during the week of Oct. 18.
Shares of United Continental Holdings Inc. UAL, +2.90% the newly merged operator of United Airlines and Continental, fell 2.4% to $24.10.
Late Friday, Continental said its passenger unit revenue, which reflects average ticket prices, rose in an estimated range of 19% to 20% for the month. Mainline unit revenue jumped by an estimated range of 21% to 22%, the carrier said.
That's modestly better than what was expected by J.P. Morgan analyst Jamie Baker, who told clients the performance should help allay any lingering concerns surrounding near-term demand.
Continental is the first major carrier to report monthly results. Other airlines will follow over the next week.
For September, Continental said consolidated traffic rose 3.1% while capacity increased just 1.4%. The carrier's load factor, or the proportion of available seats filled with passengers, rose 1.4 percentage points to 82.9%.
Also in the red were shares of American parent AMR Corp. AMR, -5.04% US Airways LCC, +0.01% and JetBlue Airways JBLU, +2.00%
JetBlue shares were the sector's greatest laggard, falling 4.4% to $6.35.
Delta Air Lines DAL, +1.64% shares fell almost as much, down 4.2% at $11.51.
Raymond James downgraded the Atlanta-based airline to market perform from outperform out of concern of increased competition in the southern city, Delta's largest hub, through Southwest Airline's acquisition of AirTran Holdings.
"While we like Delta's capital discipline and commitment to debt reduction, the entry of Southwest with growth intentions in Atlanta represents a significant change in the competitive landscape, which should not be downplayed," said analyst Duane Pfennigwerth, in a note to clients.
Atlanta represents about 20% of Delta's seat capacity and may account for about 25% of the company's revenue, according to Pfennigwerth.
Upon its acquisition of AirTran AAI, +0.00% Southwest LUV, +0.95% will have 32 gates at Atlanta's Hartfield-Jackson airport. In some other markets, the Dallas carrier has utilized gates up to 12 departures a day, Pfennigwerth said.
Assuming just 10 a day for the Atlanta gates would result in 50% more departures that AirTran's current level, he said.

Blue Letter Bible offers several daily devotional readings in order to help you refocus on Christ and the Gospel of His peace and righteousness.
Recognizing the value of consistent reflection upon the Word of God in order to refocus one's mind and heart upon Christ and His Gospel of peace, we provide several reading plans designed to cover the entire Bible in a year.
di'-za-hab, diz'-a-hab di-za-habh; Septuagint Katachrusea, (literally, "abounding in gold"):
The name occurs in a list apparently intended to fix definitely the situation of the camp of Israel in the plains of Moab (De 1:1). No place in the region has been found with a name suggesting this; and there is no other clue to its identification. Some names in the list are like those of stations earlier in the wanderings. Thinking that one of these may be intended Burckhardt suggested Mina edh-Dhahab, a boat harbor between Ras Mohammad and Aqaba. Cheyne gets over the difficulty by accepting a suggestion of Sayee that Di-zahab corresponds to Me-zahab (Ge 36:39); this latter he then transforms into Mitzraim, and identifies it with the North Arabian Mucri (Encyclopedia Biblica, under the word). The changes, however, seem greater than can be justified.

Actress Jenny McCarthy and pop star turned reality television star Donnie Wahlberg have tied the knot in St. Charles, family and media said on Sunday.
McCarthy, a former co-host of the daytime talk show, "The View," and Wahlberg, part of 1980s boy band New Kids on the Block, held their ceremony in the suburb west of Chicago, according to E! Entertainment News.
The couple announced their engagement in April, with plans to wed Labor Day weekend in New York City.
Donnie's brother, actor Mark Wahlberg, was not at the ceremony, but posted a message and video on photo sharing site Instagram saying he and his family "wish we could be there." "Congratulations from all of us," it said.
Donnie and Mark Wahlberg currently co-star on a reality television show called "Wahlburgers" that focuses on brother Paul's Massachusetts restaurant.

It is natural for men to be more interested in sex than women because men can impregnate many women, but women have to take care of their children if they get pregnant. Naturally, men want to have as much sex as they can, while women want to be selective about why they have sex with.
All the research results latest coming are indicating that men want sex more. This is not a socially developed behavior. In most of the species out there, you can see males are more aggressive for sex than females. Exceptions are always there. But generally speaking about human beings, we can conclude that men want more sex than women. But due to the current sex-oriented societies enabled the women to enjoy this equally as men, that is social not biological.
A research study conducted by Terri Fisher from Ohio State University shows that men think about sex an average of once an hour. The same study found that women think of sex once very 2 hours. The study does say that these are averages and many factors can affect results on an individual basis.
It seems like men are more interested in sex than women. There is some biological basis for this, but there is also a strong cultural bias; girls are frequently discouraged from showing interest in sex, whereas boys are quietly encouraged, if in a sidelong fashion. However, as these trends change, it's likely things will even out.
Men want sex sure that's true but so do women it's an equal thing.
We just think men want it more because we encourage men to be " studs " but women that want lots of sex get labeled and called dirty things.
It's a double standard we have to over come slowly but someday I believe we can be more open about our sexual wants, needs and desires.
It is a cultural misconception that men are more interested in sex than women. Men are merely more open to discussion about sex, and it more socially acceptable for them to engage in promiscuous sex. Women and men are both wired by evolution and because of their human nature they equally crave sex.
Women are just as interested in sex as men, it's just not as socially acceptable for them to express their interest. With slut-shaming and virgin-sympathizing, women have to stay in the closet about their physical desires. While less vocal about sex, they are vocal about desires that intimate sex being involved. Why do you think women are stereotyped as being obsessed with dating, men, and having babies? Probably because these topics are just socially acceptable vehicles for them to discuss and have sex, sex, and more sex.
Speaking as a woman; my sex drive is out if control but ONLY for the right man. Only about one in a hundred as a rough guess. And then- well only if we're both available and if its socially acceptable (ie not my boss, not my friends boyfriend, not my flatmate etc).
Everything I've and seen when I was young led me to believe the same old tired repetitive myth that men wanted sex and women just "did it" to please men. Then the age of the internet arrived and what I discovered, amongst many other things, is just how wrong that thinking is. Go look at porn. I used to think women were forced into that slime. Now I realize that women flock to it voluntarily without shame, embarrassment or regret. That's just 1 small portion of the population but it certainly blows away that myth. If you read message boards, you'll constantly see my wife / girlfriend doesn't want sex type posts. At least that's what I saw about 15 years ago but now I see the exact opposite. Most of what i see are women complaining about husbands / boy friends. I think women have let go of any shame ( due to religious past) for wanting sex and as a result have become more open about it.

Hey My Lovelies How are you all doing today :) Wow I am loving this share the love series on my blog. I have met 2 new bloggers through doing this series and I am delighted to get to know them before I even get to their blogs or channels etc. If you are a blogger, youtuber etc who is interested in taking part comment below :) :)
My next interviewee (if thats even a word) is Lauren she is another Irish blogger/youtuber and I had the privilege of meeting her in Cork at the Cork Meetup, it was only for about 5 minutes but I instantly liked her as she is just that sort of person everyone will love here is my Interview with Lauren Hope you enjoy :)
My next interviewee (if thats even a word) is Lauren she is another Irish blogger/youtuber and I had the privilege of meeting her in Cork at the Cork Meetup, it was only for about 5 minutes but I instantly liked her as she is just that sort of person everyone will love here is my Interview with Lauren Hope you enjoy :)
1. Hey..... Welcome to my blog :) :) Can you tell us a little about yourself :)
My name is lauren, I was born in Wales and moved to Ireland when I was 10. Having an irish dad it was only a matter of time before we moved to Ireland really. I work as a freelance makeup artist, for just over 3 years. I love my job as I get to make people happy and make them feel great about themselves.
2. Tell us a little about your blog
I set up makeupbylaurenmarie, way back in 2008, at first I rarely posted on there. I had no idea what to post or how to word things. After my makeup course I started to blog full time, along with my YouTube channel I found it a great way to post makeup looks I had done on YouTube and then I got more into writing reviews.
3. What inspired you to start up your blog
It was mainly my love of makeup. I had a blog years ago when I was 15 it was the cheesiest blog ever. It had pics of Justin timberlake on there lol. So not cool. So when I was around 17 I noticed people like fleur de force. She mainly gave me the idea to create my own blog.
4. What is your dream job?
I love my job as a makeup artist, however I would love to be an actress. I love acting. Since i know that will never happen I would also love to do special effects makeup for films like Harry potter where you would have to create blood and cool special effects.
5. Can you share with us some of your favourite blogs to read ?
I love reading makeup over mind, lovelyjubby, fleurdeforce, milkbubbletea, icoveetthee, fitzandbitz. I love discovering new blogs all the time so never be afraid to just randomly tweet me your link.
6. Your favorite skin care, hair care and makeup products?
Ooh, I love questions like these. At the moment I'm loving Bioderma, cannot believe it took me this long to try it, I am also loving caudalie beauty elixir. As for haircare I love anything from Lee Stafford. Makeup products I'm loving at the moment, would be bourjois healthy mix serum foundation, revlon Creme blush in coral reef and the maybelline color sensational lipsticks the colours are amazing for the summer.
7 If you could give one piece of advice to someone who is thinking of starting up their own blog what would it be?
Start a blog for the right reasons. I say this because I once got an email asking me how long and how to you get free samples to try. They told me they set up a blog to get free samples. I was shocked really. So I think you should start for the right reasons. I also think when you are starting out, blog about everything you have in your makeup collection don't feel the need to go out and buy new things just to blog about them.
8. Can You tell us what is in you handbag?? (hehehe I like been nosey? Include a picture ?
My handbag gets changed around all the time, since we now have some sun I switched it to this bright neon pink one from penny's. Inside you will always find my phone, purse, umbrella (this is Ireland). I got some lip products in there, my contacts and my sunglasses. I also carry some medication for ibs and some headphones, I love my music.
9. Where else apart from your blog can we find you aka twitter facebook etc.
I have a twitter @laurenmariemua my Facebook is and my YouTube channel is www.youtube.com/makeupbylaurenmarie
10 Any last words for us :)
Thanks so much for including me in this sharing the love project, it was so much fun.
Aint she the sweetest :) Make sure to check out her links and let her know you stopped by :)
I hope you all have a lovely day whatever you are doing and I shall see you soon :)
Until Next Time
Lots of Love Luck and Laughter
I hope you all have a lovely day whatever you are doing and I shall see you soon :)

Any analysis that attempts to compare one year with another has to take into account the different levels of charts for different eras. When examining the greatest song act, greatest songs and greatest album raw scores were adjusted to allow entries from the 1920s to be compared with those from the 1990s. This wide range of source dates meant that we could not combine information from the song and album charts.
When looking at the artists with most chart success in each decade this restriction can be relaxed. In this list we have combined song and album success, but only compared entries across a single decade. The album scores have been given twice the weight of the songs (for the decades where albums were being sold). Here we list the world's top 5 artists of each decade, a more extensive list can be seen on the individual decade pages.
This approach to calculate success has been selected because it is a relatively objective measure that can be used to compare and contrast acts from the 1930s and the 1990s. It ignores measures that can't be verified (like claimed sales and revenues), ones that vary systematically from one decade to the next (like tour sizes and movie/ pop video audiences), or measures that are impossible to obtain (like amount of media reporting). If your favourite artists are not as high up the list as their own publicity would suggest we see that is a problem with their hype, not with our measure.
We'd be interested to hear about any alternate measure of success that is both objective and applicable across the decades, especially if you've actually gathered any data and made it available anywhere. We'd also be interested if you can suggest ways that our measure could be improved, or ways that it systematically misrepresents particular acts. We're completely uninterested in hearing why your favourite act should be listed higher, once the rules are set the results are automatic, no-one gets to adjust them.
As with all the complex calculations described on the site you can decide to try a different approach. If your analysis shows something interesting tell us about it.

We had a few friends come up from Melbourne and they wished to eat ribs at Hurricane's and as guests - it's their choice. Hurricanes at Darling Harbour was buzzingly busy on a Sunday night. Yet - the waiter was attentive enough to lull around repeatedly until we laid our order.
My hubby and one of our friends decided to opt for a meat platter and a salad to share amongst the three of us. Another meat platter, rack of ribs and salad was ordered for the other end of the table.
The Caesar Salad ($20) came out as large crisp cos lettuce pieces with strips of bacon, anchovies, thingly shaved parmigiano and caesar dressing. The salad was fresh and was quite a good compliment to the mount of meat we devoured.
The Hurricane's bbq meat platter ($94.90) came as a massive plate of BBQ basted chicken wings, juicy lamb cutlets, short cut sirloin, boerewors (sausages) and their famous ribs (pork). Under the ribs was a nice pile of chips. The ribs were nice and succulent and bathed in bbq sauce.The boerewors were average, but the chicken wings were YUM. The sirloin was also likeable.
All up, food wasn't bad and service was attentive at times.

On Thursday night and Friday, the full-blown PFT team convened in New York for the first-ever PFT summit.
And a good time was had by all. Or at least most. Or at least some. Or at least me.
The meeting included plenty of discussion regarding the things we're doing right (as few and far between as they may be) and the things we can do better (which are much more plentiful). We'll be sharing with you soon some of the plans we have for improving the experience, none of which are major but all of which are meaningful.
So thanks to the entire PFT team — Larry Mazza, Kevin Monaghan, Rick Cordella, Tom Seeley, Eric Black, Brian Gilmore, Gregg Rosenthal, MDS, Evan Silva, and Josh Alper. And thanks to our hosts and partners at NBC. And thanks to all of you for helping us grow to the point where a dozen people would even be associated with the site.
Finally, I can disclose that, yes, Rosenthal brought his shinebox.

Larry Matlack, President of the American Agriculture Movement (AAM), commended U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack's leadership in advancing new pro-competition rules under authority of the Packers and Stockyards Act and administered by the Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA). He also challenged the motives of 147 members of the U.S. House of Representatives who asked to halt the year-long process intended to improve competition in the livestock markets.
"The American beef, pork and poultry producers have worked long and hard at a distinct disadvantage in the marketing arena because of the unfair and antitrust-violating system used by meatpackers and large integrated livestock corporations," declared Matlack, a grain and forage producer from Burrton, Kan. "It is disappointing, alarming and confusing to me that so many members of the U.S. House of Representatives have called on Secretary Vilsack to stop the process of updating our livestock marketing in the eleventh month since the proposed rules were published for comment. Why are they attempting to stall access to fair markets for America's farm families?"
"Extensive hearings have been held to bring the light of day to this devastating system currently forced upon rural America," added Matlack. "Now that USDA is working to correct the destructive shortcomings in the markets, it reflects poorly on so many Members of Congress who are attempting to stop USDA from addressing the injustice perpetrated on American livestock producers."
"AAM fully supports Secretary Vilsack in his endeavor to improve competition and bring fair markets to the livestock sector with the new GIPSA rules and we urge him to move forward. We have been working on these critical issues for decades and should not allow the Secretary's marketing improvements to drag on any more."

A Broken Home
A family in demise
A single pebble, a lonely stone
They fall down, tears fill they're eyes
Everything slipping away
They're screams fill the air
They hope and pray for a day
Where they may release their cares
Every day it's harder to breathe
Their lungs are constricting
They want to be at ease
But their time is limiting
Their family is broken
Their hearts shattered
They want to be at that moment
When everything mattered
A broken family
Their children in demise
They throw around a little stone
It's all they know besides the ...

Five Steps To Make Perfect Pie Crust! | Easy as Pie!
Pie crust from your food processor? You are going to love this pie crust recipe! Even if you are a complete newbie, or have had trouble in the past making beautiful, flaky pie crust, HELP IS HERE!
You should know too, that helping people to learn how to make delicious pie crust is kind of a personal mission of mine. I want the whole world to enjoy making pie crust!
Because we all know what happens after you make that perfect pie crust recipe right? You know it. A perfect pie is soon to follow. 🙂
When I was learning pastry making, particularly how to make pie crust, the old tried and true ways always worked for me. I used a handheld pastry blender, taking my time and being careful to fully blend the flour, shortening (or butter), and the rest of the ingredients.
And that's because I learned my mother's pie crust recipe and she got it from my grandmother. It appeared to me then, and it still does to this day – to be a labour of love. Mixing pastry dough by hand was just part of the process, and there was a skill to it, you really needed to mix everything in sequence and get the pastry dough to the right texture – to be ready to roll out for pie crust.
To see my traditional way of making Perfect Flaky Pie Crust – check out this recipe and video!
But a couple of months ago, when I was trying a new recipe, the instructions included the use of a small food processor. I was amazed and happily surprised at not only how quickly and easily the pastry dough came together, but that the quality of the pastry dough was excellent. I almost laughed out loud at the ease of use, thinking back to my catering days when I would be required to bake 50-60 pies for one event!
Small food processors have become a mainstay in a busy cook's kitchen. I have had mine for a while, but didn't really start to use it until recently. And the reason for that is that I am now using my food processor when I mix up my perfect pie crust recipe. Seriously.
There are a number of good brands on the market. You can get them just about anywhere, Walmart, Kitchen Stuff Plus, or Bed Bath & Beyond to name a few. Just make sure the bowl or bin will hold about 8 cups (1.9 litres) – so that you can use your food processor for a variety of uses.
- Put the dry ingredients into the bin, put on the lid and pulse for a few seconds, just to blend.
- Next take the butter or vegetable shortening and add it to the dry mixture.
- I don't use the chute for this and I cut the shortening/butter into small chunks.
- Put the lid back on and pulse until the butter is very finely chopped.
- Then add the ice water.
- I do use the chute for this.
- Pulse away and voila! Pastry dough ready to bake a pie.
- It's that easy and very little, if any messes to clean up.
The easiest perfect pie crust recipe ever. Easy as pie!

- 2 1/2 cups cake and pastry flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter cold & cut into small chunks
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup ice cold water
- Place the dry ingredients into the bin and pulse.
- Next add the butter and shortening a little at a time and pulse until the mixture is coarse.
- Gradually add the water through the chute - while pulsing.
- The pastry dough will mix very quickly.
- Remove it from the bin - be careful with the blade!
- Wrap into two evenly shaped balls of pastry dough and cover with plastic wrap
- Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- You are ready to roll out your piecrust!
You can freeze the pastry dough as well. Or if you leave it in the refrigerator longer than 30 minutes - let it sit out for 30 minutes, before you start to roll it.

I noticed that slf4j has its own formatter built into the logging api calls for assembling parameterized strings. However, what I didn't realize is that it only accepted a maximum of 2 parameters. Bummer. What happened to varargs? Turns out slf4j doesn't support Java 5 yet and it didn't sound like it was going to anytime soon.
So, I wrote a simple Java 5 wrapper around slf4j and, except for the Java 5 string formatting, you use it just like you would slf4j. You can find it here (I'm hoping the slf4j folks will take it on as a subproject - if so, I'll update the link):
I figured since I was adding a small layer on top of slf4j that there would be a performance penalty. It would stand to reason, but I wanted to know how much overhead I was adding to slf4j so I wrote some tests to measure it. I was so surprised by the results that I ran the tests over and over and reviewed the code and tweaked the tests until I convinced myself what I was seeing was actually true - the slf4j5 wrapper was actually faster than using slf4j by itself (with logback, of course).
But, how could that be? My guess is that it's primarily due to the use of String.format() rather than the custom formatter used in slf4j.
Here were the results:
On a similar note, using this auto-detection strategy, you don't need to specify a class or a name when obtaining your logger. For example:
LoggerFactory.getLogger() will obtain a logger for the class wherein this statement is contained.
So, varargs, advanced formatting, faster performance, auto-context detection - several good reasons to take it out for a test drive.
I will be working on the wiki, but here's an example:
public class MyClass { private final Logger _log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(); public void doSomething(int param1, String param2, double param3) { _log.debug("entering, params = %d, %s, %8.2f", param1, param2, param3); // some useful business logic here _log.debug("leaving"); } // doSomething() ...
Let me know how it goes.
