How did you hear of KEQ or were you recruited (by who)? - I met a player of your clan "CJWBII" and we played very well an team oriented together so I knew from then that this was the clan for me.
Why do you want to join KEQ - I love playing the objective and as team oriented as possible, but it gets difficult when you play with randoms and most people do not focus on the objective and dont have a mic. That is why I want to join, to play with other people who share the same intrest in objective and tactical style gameplay like me.

What other Games Do You Plan To Play With us - Dust 514, Call of Duty, and Borderlands for now. Hopefully more in the future.

On the job, coworkers hesitant to talk politics
2008 presidential election coverage for The Commercial Appeal.
November 3, 2008.
The office water cooler by all accounts should be boiling over. More than Tigers vs. Rebels, more than young Elvis vs. old Elvis, more, even, than Willie vs. City Council, this year's presidential race has had the potential of pulling people together in conversation and ripping them apart in debate.
It's one thing to be open online, where tempers and tones can remain hidden, couched in parenthetical asides and emoticons. On Web sites and blogs, the talk starts placidly enough, then begins to swell and bubble until the nameless medium of e-mail becomes vitriolic … (read more)

These wonderfully soft and chewy pumpkin spice cookies are fragrant and full of flavor. They are cakey and chewy at the same time with a crunchy cinnamon sugar coating.I've been seeing a lot of pumpkin cookies in my Pinterest feed lately. It was like the world was telling me "bake some pumpkin cookies" or maybe just Pinterest was. Anyways, I'm easily influenced lol.
So I was trying to decide what I was in the mood for. Do I want the old-fashioned soft and cakey kind of cookies or do I want a chewy texture? I couldn't decide, so I thought I'd go for both, as crazy as that may sound.I looked at a lot of recipes and came up with my own based on the following:
I wanted a soft and fluffy texture, but not too fluffy, so I only used baking soda, not baking soda and baking powder as in most recipes.
I only used 1/2 cup of pumpkin compared to 1 cup (again as in most recipes) because pumpkin has a lot of moisture in it and too much moisture will make the batter more like a cake batter.
I also chilled the dough to enhance the flavors and create a chewier texture.These cookies are light and airy with a delightful chew. The taste is sweet and cinnamony with a rich and buttery pumpkin flavor.Print

The need for lifts for bariatric patients has increased considerably in the last few years. With a lifting capacity of 500 kg (1,014 lbs.), the freestanding UltraTwin FreeSpan system meets very high demands.
UltraTwin FreeSpan is a freestanding system, and since it is not affixed to the walls or the ceiling, there are no special strength requirements for those structures. The system is available in a range of different rail lengths for optimal adaptation to the size of the room.
Thanks to a system with twin lift motors that work together, UltraTwin not only lifts and transfers, it also helps you to position the patient in sitting, semi-reclining or horizontal positions. UltraTwin can be installed with two different widths between rails: one for lifting in the sitting position and one for horizontal lifts with stretcher.
Lifting very heavy people requires special techniques and specially designed lift equipment. Our heavy-lifting accessories are available in several different models, all designed for lifting up to 500 kg (1,100 lbs).
UltraTwin FreeSpan is also available in a traverse version, enabling coverage of the entire area of the room with a single lift system. Please contact us for more information.
Please contact your representative for access to service manuals, inspection protocols, etc.
From the very beginning consideration for those for whom we develop our products has been our most important guiding-star. Our concept reflects our vision in our daily activity - always to improve life quality for patients and caregivers globally.

Number 516 - Ozzy Osbourne
Genre:Hard Rock
art by lippylike
Fascinating, i know its exactly what your thinking. The Occult, Ozzy Osbourne & none other than Mr Aliester Crowley himself. I am not a follower of Mr Crowley but i am intrigued by his delusions and beliefs or is that delusional beliefs? Unfortunately it is very hard to acquire his book called "The Book of the Law" and also "The Confessions of Aleister Crowley" especially in New Zealand. If you ever have to do a school project on famous people, then Mr Crowley would make an excellent choice, its a guaranteed A. Might get you kicked out of college, but hey, that's the price of an intellectual artist like yourelf.
About the song ......
what lampshade?
Mr. Crowley is a 1980 heavy metal song performed by Ozzy Osbourne (with Bob Daisley contributing lyrics, and Randy Rhoads the music), released on the album Blizzard of Ozz. The song is one of Osbourne's first two singles as a solo artist following his expulsion from Black Sabbath. It reached #46 on the UK charts. Ozzy came up with the song's title, a reference to the infamous Aleister Crowley, and Bob Daisley's subsequent lyrics are addressed to him. The song's lyrics do not display a profound knowledge of Aleister Crowley. His last name is mispronounced (it rhymes with "holy"). The lyrics ask "did you talk with the dead?", where Crowley believed in reincarnation. The lyrics state that Crowley "waited on Satan's call", where -- despite his reputation as a Satanist -- Crowley did not believe that Satan even existed.
Im still alive, yanno
Mr. Crowley seems to cast the life of the occultist in a critical light; Osbourne asks Crowley, "Mr. Charming, did you think you were pure?" and invites Crowley to "ride my white horse". It is commonly thought to refer to Crowley's addiction to heroin which was a prescribed medication for him. The line is open to interpretation, as Osbourne indicates in the following line, "It's symbolic, of course." Osbourne ends the song with a plea to the long-dead Crowley, "Was it polemically sent?/I wanna know what you meant", perhaps referring to Crowley's often-controversial doctrines. Osbourne also says in the reissue of Blizzard of Ozz that, in Black Sabbath, he had a roadie named Frank who'd worked with Led Zeppelin and Jimmy Page had given him a book signed "To Frank, Polemically Yours".
Randy Rhoads
The guitar solo in "Mr. Crowley" is ranked number 28 on Guitar World Magazine's 100 poll of the "100 greatest guitar solos". According to band mythology, Osbourne was dissatisfied with the first guitar solo that Randy Rhoads recorded for the song. Rhoads, in angry protest, went into the studio right away and banged out the famous solo. Afterwards, he stormed out and asked how that solo was. Osbourne smiled and said: "This is it!".Famous covers include Moonspell (Darkness and Hope, 2001) and Cradle of Filth (Nymphetamine Special Edition, 2005). Tim 'Ripper' Owens (with Yngwie Malmsteen on guitar), Joe Lynn Turner, George Lynch and The Cardigans have also recorded covers of the song. Also, in the game Guilty Gear XX, the character I-No plays part of the ending solo to "Mr. Crowley" as one of her win pose ~ [Source:Wikipedia]

And the Album, "Blizzard of Ozz"
holy bat burger!
Ozzy Osbourne's 1981 solo debut Blizzard of Ozz was a masterpiece of neo-classical metal that, along with Van Halen's first album, became a cornerstone of '80s metal guitar. Upon its release, there was considerable doubt that Ozzy could become a viable solo attraction. Blizzard of Ozz demonstrated not only his ear for melody, but also an unfailing instinct for assembling top-notch backing bands. Onetime Quiet Riot guitarist Randy Rhoads was a startling discovery, arriving here as a unique, fully formed talent. Rhoads was just as responsible as Osbourne -- perhaps even more so -- for the album's musical direction, and his application of classical guitar techniques and scales rewrote the rulebook just as radically as Eddie Van Halen had.art by pinup-artist
Rhoads could hold his own as a flashy soloist, but his detailed, ambitious compositions and arrangements revealed his true depth, as well as creating a sense of doomy, sinister elegance built on Ritchie Blackmore's minor-key innovations. All of this may seem to downplay the importance of Ozzy himself, which shouldn't be the case at all. The music is a thoroughly convincing match for his lyrical obsession with the dark side (which was never an embrace, as many conservative watchdogs assumed); so, despite its collaborative nature, it's unequivocally stamped with Ozzy's personality. What's more, the band is far more versatile and subtle than Sabbath, freeing Ozzy from his habit of singing in unison with the guitar (and proving that he had an excellent grasp of how to frame his limited voice). Nothing short of revelatory, Blizzard of Ozz deservedly made Ozzy a star, and it set new standards for musical virtuosity in the realm of heavy metal. ~ [Steve Huey, All Music Guide]

What does Rolling Stone think about Ozzy?
RS:Were you guys interested in black magic -- even a little? Ozzy:We couldn't conjure up a fart. We'd get invitations to play witches' conventions and black masses in Highgate Cemetery. I honestly thought it was a joke. We were the last hippie band -- we were into peace.
RS:In a lot of live Sabbath photos, you're flashing the peace sign. Ozzy: I never did this black-magic stuff. The reason I did "Mr. Crowley" on my first solo album [Blizzard of Ozz, 1980] was that everybody was talking about Aleister Crowley. Jimmy Page bought his house, and one of my roadies worked with one of his roadies. I thought, "Mr. Crowley, who are you? Where are you from?" But people would hear the song and go, "He's definitely into witchcraft."
RS:Randy Rhoads, your first guitarist after leaving Sabbath, died in a plane crash in 1982. He was just twenty-five, and you got to make only two albums with him, Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman. What did you get from him in that short time? Ozzy: He gave me such a lift. He was not only a fantastic guitar player. Randy worked with me: "Sing that, but try it in this key." In Sabbath, whatever they laid down, I had to put a vocal on it. He was very quiet, and dedicated to his instrument. Every day, on tour, he would get up, look in the Yellow Pages for a classical-guitar teacher and have a lesson. On that last fateful tour, he said to me on the bus, "I want to quit the band." I'm like, "What's up with you? We've got another album in the charts." He said, "I've tasted what it's like to be a rock star. I want to get a degree in classical guitar." I said, "Make some fucking dough first." He was always up for a higher challenge.
RS:If you could write your own epitaph, what would it be? Ozzy: Just "Ozzy Osbourne, born 1948, died so-and-so." I've done a lot for a simple working-class guy. I made a lot of people smile. I've also made a lot of people go, "Who the fuck does this guy think he is?" I guarantee that if I was to die tonight, tomorrow it would be, "Ozzy Osbourne, the man who bit the head off a bat, died in his hotel room. . . ." I know that's coming. But I've got no complaints. At least I'll be remembered. ~ [Source:Rolling Stone Magazine]

I've been in a post-moving funk for about a month now.. interestingly enough that coincides with when we finished our move, funny how that all matches up.
Anyway.. so I've been in a funk for a bit, wanting to write.. getting the itch, the stirrings.. but lacking the direction and simply the ooomph. So.. a couple weeks ago I'm reading my facebook and I see a post from an author I follow who talks about how around 10 years ago he was in the final stages of a huge life altering event.. moving from one part of the Country to another and changing careers from what he'd done for the past 10 years to pursue his dream of writing.
It got me to thinking about my own journey.. 10 years ago I was trying to get back into the swing of law school after taking a year off while my 1 year old daughter spent nearly 9 months in the PICU awaiting open heart surgery, amongst other procedures. My wife and daughter were in Boise, and I was 300 miles away at school. To say it was an adjustment was a huge understatement.
The changes that I've gone through since then are, in my humble estimation, equally fundamental. I've gone from Law Student, to Attorney, to Teacher, to, now, House Husband.. We've moved from Boise to Utah to now Virginia, my wife has gone from No degree to Bachelors to Masters to now pursuing her PhD. And.. we've gone from 1 beautiful little girl, to 5 rugrats.
Yet, through it all.. the desire to write, to create, has remained constant yet unfulfilled.
Which brings me back to the point of my ramblings..
Back in May I wrote about the Definition of Insanity being doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.. pretty famous little quote, I'm sure we've all heard it.
Well, I find myself in a similar situation now. Once things get hard, or uncomfortable.. we all have a tendency to 'run home to mama'.. my own being surfing the net or playing computer/video games or reading or...
... in short, doing anything BUT writing or working out or any of the things I've promised myself I was going to do.
So, I suppose what I'm saying is that.. I'm Back. It's time to take up the mantle of 'Kevin's Esoteric Initiative of Self-Inflicted Torture to Effectuate Results'.. or KEISTER (for short). Essentially.. it's time for a kick in the KEISTER.
The page above will diagram more clearly my intentions.. but my goal is go go back to what initially produced results back in May.. Rising each morning at 5:00 am (curse you Morgan for introducing that aspect), I will get on the treadmill for 30 minutes, and then have 2.5 uninterrupted hours of writing that I will utilize fully and efficiently.
Goals are go have a fully realized manuscript before the end of the year, and then to have it polished enough to present at the LDStorymakers Writers Conference in May.. AND to lose 1% of my body weight per week until I reach my healthy weight goal.
So.. if I am to achieve something new and dramatic, then the change must be new and dramatic.
I'm motivated and, (believe it or not), excited to see what I can achieve by sticking to this goal.
I'll post updates as I go.

Mighty Dungeons: An interview with the developer
Last week, we posted about Mighty Dungeons, a light dungeon crawler for mobiles and tablets that uniquely exhibited a strong boardgame aesthetic. Yohan Launay of Laylio Games, developer of Mighty Dungeons, was happy to answer some of our questions in our desire to shed some light on both the background of the game and the concerns surrounding a mobile game developer.
Visit the official Mighty Dungeons site here. Grab the free demo, or buy the game!
Continue reading for the boardgames that inspired Mighty Dungeons, challenges to watch out for as a mobile game developer, and more! What inspired you to emulate the look and feel of a tabletop game in the design?
I've always been a boardgamer since [I was] young. With HeroQuest, Warhammer Quest and the like. Even today I still regularly go to boardgame cafes in Singapore with my wife and a couple of friends to play games. So when I had the time to make a game I was influenced by that experience.
What tabletop games influenced this title? How so?
Mostly influenced by HeroQuest, Warhammer Quest, Space Hulk. I like the simplicity of these games, you can pick it up within 10 minutes, no complex rules or anything. Just pick your hero and some gear and straight to the dungeons. I also liked the fact that one player could be the Game Master. it reminded me of when I was playing role games with my friends in high school and one guy was dictating the story.
What RPG computer games influenced this title?
Mostly Diablo I, Dungeon Master. I loved the pure hack'n'slash style of Diablo and the atmosphere of Dungeon Master.
Will you be adding a multiplayer component? How will it work?
Many players have requested it. I'm not convinced by a online version of it. If I add multiplayer in it will probably be hotseats or party (i.e. one player controls more than 1 hero). But that will probably be tablet only and released as a separate game.
What are the challenges you face today as a mobile game developer?
Time: I only work on this during week ends and evenings. After a long day at work it is sometimes hard to find the motivation to work an extra 4-5 hours. And week end means no rest but 12-15 hours of programming to prepare the weekly releases. I may be able someday to "live the dream" and do this fulltime. We will see.
Visibility: Once your game is out making it in the charts is a matter of life and death for your title. For Android I was lucky to strike a great position in the charts the first month and I could sell 350 copies a day. As soon as 30 days passed and the game was no longer available in the charts (i.e. in first or second page of the New apps on the store), downloads went below 50 a day. It's picking up now thanks to the iOS release back to 100+ downloads a day but it will still take time until I can make a living off this. On iOS it's even worse. iOS is a warzone. There are so many titles being released that the charts are fluctuating like crazy. You can be in top 10 one day and #350 the next day and back to top 50 the following one. I had the great chance to grab the attention of Crescent Moon games, an awesome publisher based in the US (released great 3D RPGs on iOS like Ravensword, Aralon, etc.) which is helping me publish the game. It just launched so we will see how it goes. :)
Piracy: On both iOS and Android, I have like 35,000 official downloads (paid or free) in total and almost 100,000 unofficial ones... That means that if you rely solely on sales to monetize your game you may miss a great chunk of the market. Although implementing In App Purchases (IAP) may not be an option as well: most of the piracy occurs in Russia and China and these guys won't be able to use Google Play for the IAP. So even if you have IAP in the game you won't reach that audience. And advertising for me is out of the question: I don't want to disfigure the game with an ugly banner. I don't like it when other developer do it, especially when they put the banner very close to buttons and you tap on the banner by mistake. It's almost an instant uninstall factor for me.
What platforms is your game available on?
The game is officially available on iOS and Android. But I do have a PC & Mac version that I haven't released yet. I think I should package it and sell directly from the website for like $4.99 or something. It may get traction. If you know people that would be interested, let me know. ;)
What other games are you planning for the future? (that you can talk about!)
Firstly I'm planning on making extensions to Mighty Dungeons. I just closed the last chapter of the game (8 Gates of Hell) which gives in total about 30hours of gameplay. I think it's fairly reasonable for the price point. I'll be looking at creating a new chapter sold separately with a mix of outdoor and indoor decors. I may need to account for import/export of hero the issue with that is once you complete the first chapter your hero is super strong. If I import this hero into a fresh game, unless I make the game very hard, the players will be bored. If the game is very hard, newcomers will be turned off. I haven't found a solution to that problem yet. When I do I will be planning the release.
Then I'll be looking at creating other versions: ancient Greece, space, Egyptian mythology, Aztec/Maya mythology, etc. Using the same engine that I built for Mighty Dungeons.
Based on how well these games are received I have 2 more games in store that I'd like to build, mostly educational (too early to talk about it now ;) )
What kind of games do you like to play when you're not working?
I like RPGs. I'd love to get my hands on Baldur's Gate iPad edition. But since I'm working most of the time it's hard to find time to play. I also like physics-based car games like Hill Climb Racing (that game is a gem, the developer rocks).
Thanks again for taking the time in answering our questions and we hope the game continues climbing up the ranks!
*crossing fingers* :)

ARTIST / BAND: The Liptonians
MP3: You Know I Did
ALBUM: Let's All March Back Into The Sea
FILE UNDER: rock
LABEL: head in the sand
INFO: In 2008, completely unheralded, The Liptonians emerged from a basement in Winnipeg with an "earnest little pop-rock gem" (Uptown Magazine). Much to their surprise, the album picked up a Western Canadian Music Award for Outstanding Pop Recording, garnered rave reviews, charted on college radio across the country, became a regular on CBC Radio and paved the way for three cross-Canadian tours. The strength of their dynamic live show scored them opening slots for bands like Silver Starling (Last Gang Records) and Chicago indie rock legends, The Sea and Cake.

I will start at the beginning. Lucky for you! When we moved to Indianapolis in 2002, I signed a one-year lease on an apartment in the school district recommended to us. The idea was to find a house to rent by the end of that first lease. While I was delighted with my son's school district, to this day, I have not found a house in which I'd let my dog live. The township is inside the city limits and consists of 1960's ranch-style homes, one newly developed middle-class subdivision full of homeowners, million dollar homes around the governor's mansion, and the ghetto.
Being a single mother without the benefit (and, in my eyes, aggravation - but that's another thread entirely) of dual incomes in one household, I am limited to the 1960's ranch homes and the ghetto. There are usually several 1960's ranch homes available for rent at any given time, but if you want things like indoor plumbing, you pay a hefty price. Seriously, it's actually $300 to $500 more money for more than one bathroom. Or for a bathroom post hippie-era. A 3-bedroom, 1-bath, never remodeled, never re-carpeted home can rent for $1500 per month easily.
Why don't I just buy a house, then, you ask? After all, the tax savings alone…
To which I reply that I already have a house. I moved here in 10 days after living in my home for only three years, so instead of losing money I didn't have, I put it up for rent. And, I don't plan on staying in Indianapolis for too much longer, depending on my son's college choice. My house is also currently up for sale, so I am now paying its mortgage each month as well.
So, I want to rent. I want to call a landlord to come replace a light bulb. I know I'm in the minority, but I sincerely don't want to be a homeowner again for a while and not in Indianapolis.
Every time my apartment lease came to an end, we would diligently look for a rental house in the school district, but never had any luck. The houses I could (or wanted to) afford were embarrassing. I couldn't imagine sitting on a toilet in one of these places. They never failed to disappoint, and most of the time, disgust me.
Therefore, I've renewed my lease and renewed and renewed and renewed. We can move anywhere (out of the school district) after the first semester of my son's junior year in school (due to senior rights and not forcing a child out of the school mid-year), which occurs in December 2006. This opens doors to us – suburb doors and long-drive-to-school doors - but affordable and livable doors.
Kink in the plan, though: On June 10th, 2006, we arrived back at home after a 10-day trip to Mississippi to ready my house for sale and were welcomed by new neighbors downstairs. Boy neighbors. Two or three or four of them. At least. Noisy, pool-partying, up-all-night, smoking, apparently no-job-having boys. In the first week, their smoke detector went off three times. I can hear it among every other noise they make. (Two families of three, each with newborn babies, lived downstairs prior and I never heard one noise.) I now sleep with a fan on its highest level, a radio, and, as of this past weekend, am up to 3 Benadryl a night (apparently developing a tolerance).
Three days after our return, I discussed the situation with the property manager and discovered that I can move any time with no early termination of lease penalty since I've been there so long. Great news, but it is the summer before my son's junior year, technically limiting our search to houses in his school district again. But given the choice between unreasonable rent and boy noise, I'm opting for the extra rent.
Now, you have the background. Next, a tour through the entertaining freaks and misfits met, thus far (because we still haven't found a house), along the journey.

Beth's 1980 essay, Beauty Is Revolution.
"You have to say yes to what comes out. You can scoot it around a bit, but the basic material that jumps out of you is you. If you say, "That sounds like a raisin commercial," you are telling yourself you are trashy. You are allowing others to tell you what real art is."

The days were short, the nights dark, and that particular winter was a bitterly cold one. She had five older brothers and a sister who would become her closest friend. Her parents were not wealthy, but life was comfortable enough. Jane was to be their second-to-last child.
According to a letter from her father announcing her birth, she was expected to arrive much sooner in November – no doubt her arrival was a welcome relief for Mrs Austen! Her father thought she looked like Henry (who would grow up to be one of Jane's favourite siblings) and referred to her in this early letter as 'Jenny'.
The celebration of birthdays was not the expensive occasion it is today. Particularly for a country rector with a large family, the children's birthdays would have been small affairs. But, as a girl, Jane received precious books for presents. For her eighth birthday she was presented with a copy of Fables Choisies in early December, and for her eleventh birthday she received twelve little volumes of L'ami des enfants from Jane's cousin, Eliza de Feuillide, and Eliza's mother, Philadelphia Hancock.
Over the years, Jane spent several of her birthdays away from home. In 1797 she was most likely in Bath with her mother and sister, Cassandra. It is said to have been a nasty shock for Jane when, three years later, her parents announced that the family was moving there. Jane was notified days before her 25th birthday.
It was not, however, the worst thing that happened on her birthday. Jane spent December 1802 recovering from the mortifying experience of accepting and then revoking an offer of marriage from a family friend, Harris Bigg-Wither. The morning after the proposal, on December 3rd, Jane withdrew her acceptance and the sisters immediately left their friends' home in embarrassed haste.
Two years later, on the very day Jane turned twenty-nine in 1804, her close friend Madam Lefroy was thrown from a horse and killed. Jane was devastated, so much so, that four years later she composed a poem on her birthday titled, 'To the Memory of Mrs Lefroy, who died Decr. 16 – my birthday. – written 1808.'
By 1815, Jane was an established author and while she was staying in London with Henry, who was ill, December became an increasingly busy month for her. As well as helping to nurse Henry, she was liaising with John Murray in the lead-up to the publication of Emma. And Jane was no doubt recovering from a near (if unwelcome) brush with royalty when she was invited to the Prince Regent's library at Carlton House in November.
On her birthday she left London early in the morning to return to Chawton Cottage. Several days earlier, The Observer announced Emma's publication as scheduled for the 16th. However, her novel did not appear until the 23rd – no doubt a source of annoyance for its author who had already dealt with several publishing delays over her career. It would have been a lovely way to mark Jane's fortieth birthday if her books had been published earlier!
The year after, exactly 200 years ago today, Jane was not feeling her best. She had been invited to dinner on the following day by her niece Anna Lefroy and her husband Ben, but had to decline citing the difficulty of the walk to their home. In typical good humour (or denial?), she assured her nephew, James Edward, that she was "otherwise very well". It was to be Jane's final birthday – she died seven months and two days afterwards.
Today around the world, Janeites mark the day with celebration. Fancy meals are eaten in her honour and articles are published in homage, in an age where Austen is worldwide news and her books are more popular than ever. Who, at the time of her birth, could have possibly predicted the outpouring of praise and passion that the 16th of December would inspire in literary enthusiasts around the world, 241 years after a little girl was born to a country rector in rural England?

I am a big dreamer kind of gal… the bigger the better. Impossible? No Way! Unrealistic? Who Cares?
I like to believe God for big things and I am constantly asking him to do big things… to move mountains.. part red seas.. burn a bush without actually burning it kind of things.
But tonight, as I ponder the chaos that surrounds my daily circumstances I find myself asking God "Why?"
"Why is it so hard for me to get up on time?"
"Why is it so hard to get the house put in order?"
"Why is it so hard to do the little day in and day out things?"
His response was "You trust me to do the big things, but you don't trust me to do the small things."
That can't be right..
But then he said, "Jordan, you KNOW you need me for the big things… the out of reach things.. the impossible things.. so you have to entrust them to me… But with the small things, you can manage on your own, so instead of entrusting EACH tiny task into my hands, you try to carry them on your own and they weigh you down."
It makes sense though doesn't it? Isn't it so easy to get wrapped up trying to do all of our small tasks, instead of entrusting those small tasks to Jesus?
Proverbs 16:25 NIV says "There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death."
Taking care of the small things appears to be right sometimes. I can take care of the house… I can get up on time.. I can cook the supper and do the dishes.. I can wash the clothes and get everyone ready for tomorrow..
I can manage… Really, I can..
Until I can't… and then I'm filled with feelings of shame… rejection.. failure.. something in my spirit seems to die when I try to do it all on
my own.
And so… I'm realizing I need Jesus.. not just
for the big, move the mountain dreams, but for the small, messy, ordinary things.
And maybe, just maybe, when I give him the little things, I will see him work all of the things out for my good.

Dear Friends,
I feel I must apologize for taking so long to write this. I have been very excited and yet hesitant to share this entry. Oh well, here goes nothing. My parents have raised me to be marriage minded. As I have grown up we have returned to the topic many times. Unlike most guys, I've often thought about my wedding and also taken metal notes for future use as the Lord Wills.
My Dad always told me to get my education and establish my life direction before pursuing romance and marriage. I always wanted to marry young like my parents, so waiting was hard. In my early twenties I once asked my Mom when I would know it was a good time to start seriously thinking about marriage. Her response? "When all your friends start getting married." This is not by any means a sole factor, but interestingly enough, it seems that these days my friends younger siblings are getting married in droves.
Before I go any further, let me be clear. I'm not saying it is a bad thing to wait on God or that it is a bad thing to be single. I firmly believe that we should seek God in ALL we do, this area being not only included, but perhaps most important. "House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the Lord." (Proverbs 19:10) I simply believe that I (along with the majority of men) was created to need a helpmeet
I have many friends who are girls and to put it quite simply, without their presence my life would be boring and colorless. I am so thankful for many young ladies in my life. It seems to me however that whenever I express interest in a young lady an interest that goes beyond friendship, she turns and runs the other way as fast as she can. Now perhaps I am overstating things ever so slightly, but quite frankly, it hurts.
I know that marrying will be a challenge for me and my bride, but nothing in my life has come easy. I often feel like a good motto for my life would be "Working twice as hard to prove that I am just as good," I feel much the same way in my quest for a life partner. I just want a chance to prove myself in this area as with so many others.
I am not perfect. I have flaws. But I am also a godly man seeking righteousness. I have been taught by my father what it means to be a Family Shepherd. I have by word and example been taught to value children and the truth "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word." (Ephesians 5:25-26) I look forward to having a godly young lady to love and cherish for life! :) I believe she will be an amazing asset to Speaking4Him.
This issue transcends romantic relationships though. I've also faced challenges in regular day to day interactions with friends and co-workers as well. It is never easy and it is hard and down right frustrating at times. So why is this?, and (perhaps more importantly) what can we do about it?
I believe the main reason for this is fear of the unknown. I believe that some may think it is easier to distance themselves from me than to be honest with me about their discomforts relating to my disability. Sadly I have experienced at least one definite case of this in a work setting and it was heartbreaking. Honesty is a much better option. Plus I am as open about my challenges as anyone you'll ever meet.
So if you have a question or something about my disability makes you uncomfortable, be honest with me. Honest questions will always result in honest answers. What's more, we'll both be better for it and we might be lifelong friends!
I am very thankful for those who have been faithful friends and family and seen beyond my wheelchair to the man that God is molding in His time. God is so good! He knows what He is doing and I can trust Him. In closing, just know that my accomplishments in life have not come about because I ignored the "Brick Walls" my challenges created. That would have just led to a bloody nose. Rather my accomplishments have come because for every "Brick Wall" I have faced I have found sufficient "Rope" to climb over each one and overcome to the Glory of God.

If it's November, it must be pledge time. And so it is. Let me say a few words about why this is important.
1. Pledging is important to you and your life of faith. Why? Because self-sacrifice is among the most important ways we have to train our hearts to follow God. The book of 2 Samuel relates a telling story. King David sinned before God by taking a census of the people. In an act of atonement, David determined to make sacrifice before God. At the top of one of the hills in what is now Jerusalem, David found a threshing floor belonging to Araunah. Seeing David approaching the hill, Araunah offered to give David his treshing floor as well as cattle and sheep for the sacrifice. But David responded, "No, but I will buy them from you for a price; I will not offer burnt offerings to the Lord my God that cost me nothing." (2 Samuel 24:24)
2. Pledging is important for our common stewardship of our church. The church exists to worship God and to serve the mission God has given to us. In order to be effective in mission and ministry, we have to live within our means. And in order to live within our means, we have to know what means we have.
Let me pause here to brag on you. Most of the last decade has been very hard on churches and nonprofits, just as it has been hard on many families. As people have tightened their belts, giving to churches and nonprofits across the nation has taken a hit. Giving to nonprofits is only now beginning to reach the levels it was prior to the 2008 downturn. I have heard anecdotal stories from colleagues in ministry of churches having to cut budgets anywhere from 10% to 20%. The there is our church. While we have not seen increases in giving, neither have we seen the kinds of decreases other churches have experienced.
All that to say, you are a remarkable and faithful bunch of folks. But then again, I have always known that. You have simply confirmed what I have known.
My message to you this pledge season, then, is simple: keep up the good work.
Now for the mechanics: On November 13, we will dedicate our pledges to the work of God's church. Before then, you will receive a pledge card in the mail that you will be asked to bring to worship and place in a basket on the communion table. Of course, if you are unable to attend worship, you may complete your pledge card and return it my mail. It's that simple. I invite you to keep doing what you do so well and even to take the next step of increasing your giving for 2017.

The Best Women's Exercise DVDs
Exercise DVDs can help you squeeze in workouts when you don't have time to get to the gym. They're also great for those who prefer to work out at home. Women have a variety of DVDs to choose from for building strength, blasting calories and having fun while sweating. While the best DVDs vary depending on individual preferences and goals, some DVDs are better than others at helping improve overall fitness and preventing boredom so that you're more likely to come back for more.
Change It Up With Jane
Get an exercise DVD that includes a combination of cardio, strength and stretching. Jane Fonda, a women's fitness figure and actress, has been at the forefront of women's exercise videos for decades. Now she has DVDs, too. Tone up and trim down your upper and lower body in two specialized workouts with "Jane Fonda Prime Time: Trim, Tone & Flex." Jane's enthusiasm combined with a variety of easy-to-follow exercises, like squats and lunges, will get your quads burning and keep your motivation high.
Pump Up The Cardio
Cardio training improves heart health and burns calories, helping you drop excess pounds. The best women's DVDs include a cardio component to get your heart pumping, breathing elevated and sweat pouring. Try "Exhale: Core Fusion Cardio Pure Intensity," which turns sweaty yoga moves such as downward facing dog into heart-raising mountain-climbing action, where you alternate bringing each knee to your chest while in a full plank position. Another calorie burner is "Jillian Michaels: Banish Fat Boost Metabolism," which puts you through seven six-minute circuits for a hardcore 40-minute workout.
Tone Up With TV
Women's DVDs should include a significant strength-training component to tone up, increase strength and gain lean muscle mass. Jillian Michaels delivers a hit of muscle-building moves with her "Kickbox FastFix" DVD. Exercises include lifting dumbbells as well as a series of kicking, jabbing and punching motions for chiseled arms. You can also tone up with "Jackie: Power Circuit Training," a DVD that focuses on each muscle group with three excercises before repeating all three exercises at a faster pace for fewer reps in an intense power circuit.
Breathe & Stretch

Psst! Hey, you. Yeah, you.
Are you a writer?
Do you spend countless hours and days and weeks and months on your story/novel/whatever? Have you gone over the thing so many times you practically have it memorized? Have you had your closest writing friends read it over so they can tear it apart? When the book is ready to go, have you worked hard on your query, getting every word right? Have you sent that query to over a hundred agents? If an agent signs you, do you work nonstop to get the MS in the very best shape it can be so that agent can send it off to publishers? If a publisher wants to buy the book, do you do a happy dance? Do you spend the next year or two closely working with the editor and copy editor and marketing department so that when your book is finally released, it's going to be a big hit? Does the big day finally arrive and then nobody buys your book?
Well, guess what -- nobody has to buy your book.
Why? I don't know. Maybe readers never got the memo. But all that hard work you put into your book? Yeah, in the end, it doesn't really mean much to readers. They don't owe you anything. I hate to break it to you, but you aren't entitled to be read. You are especially not entitled to sell a bunch of copies.
On the flip side, those readers who don't owe you anything? You better believe they're owed a damn good story. You better believe they're owed getting their money's work from your book.
In fact, speaking of your book, that's what's owed the most: the story itself. I mean, why are you writing that story in the first place? For yourself, sure, okay, but also for the story. You have to do right by the story, and maybe, just maybe, the story will do right by you. And then all that other stuff? It might fall into place. Then again, maybe it won't. Again, you as the writer are not owed anything by anyone.
Cheerful thought, isn't it?
The reason I mention this is because it seems more and more writers feel like they're owed stuff. The biggest offenders I've seen recently are a certain select self-published camp. They feel because they self-publish, places like Amazon and Barnes & Noble should be bending over backwards to sell their books. And so if their books aren't sell, well, IT'S NOT FAIR!
Guess what -- nobody ever said it would be.
And say if you do sell a copy of your book, what then? Well, regardless if it's traditionally published or self-published, you should thank your lucky stars. There are hundreds of thousands of books out there. The fact someone other than your family or friends decides to spend their hard-earned money on something you wrote, well, that's pretty amazing if you think about it. Then, say, a reader emails you telling you how much they enjoyed the book. Even better.
But wait -- the reader doesn't leave a review on Amazon! *gasp!*
Guess what -- you're not entitled to a review. You actually aren't even entitled to that reader emailing you in the first place, so be thankful for what you get.
In the end, in case you haven't picked up on it yet, you as a writer aren't owed anything. If you're a reader, well, my friends, you are owed very much indeed. You are owed a great book, plain and simple, and any writer who can't deliver that is a writer you probably shouldn't waste your time with in the first place.

When Businesses are Cultural Monuments
How do we preserve history and culture? And how do we determine what history and culture is worthy of preservation Traditionally, historic buildings or sites of notable historic events are protected as reminders for future generations. But these static monuments can only tell part of the story.
The recent rumors that the Amoeba Music store in Hollywood may be replaced by a new condo tower (since updated to confirm that Amoeba isn't going anywhere, at least not yet) got me thinking about the importance of certain businesses as cultural monuments, and how those businesses are valued within cities driven by market forces. Amoeba has been in their Hollywood location for just under 15 years, but has since become something of a local institution. The news of its potential demise even drew a statement from the area's City Councilman Mitch O'Farrell expressing disappointment, but also hoping that Amoeba might be able to find a new home in Hollywood.
A handful of optimistic commenters on LAist and Curbed advocated for some sort of preservation effort for Amoeba, something that is nearly impossible given the relative youth of the business in its Hollywood location. Even if the building were older, it would struggle to meet anything more than local historic significance. In relation to the National Register of Historic Places Criteria for Evaluation, the building is far from architecturally significant, it is not related to any significant historical events or people (at least no more than any other record store or performance venue), and it is unlikely to yield any important archaeological findings anytime soon. It can't even claim to be the "original" Amoeba Music—locations in Berkeley and San Francisco opened earlier.
State and local criteria for historic significance may be more flexible than the National Register, but these preservation efforts tend to be focused on, for lack of a better word, "dead" sites, places that are no longer in regular use, or whose regular use does not contribute to their historic significance. This system is largely effective for preserving important buildings, or sites of historic events, but should we also have a mechanism for protecting parts of our culture that are actively contributing to daily life?
The day after the news about Amoeba first broke, NPR ran a story about the London borough of Wandsworth, which has extended legal protections to 120 local pubs, requiring government approval for any redevelopment. Citing an intangible community-building value in pubs, the borough Council has essentially determined that the cultural value of certain pubs outweighs increased property values. A similar program in Barcelona goes even further, restricting changes in decor, signage, and furnishing for a wider range of small businesses—over 200 locations in total. A similar paradigm in a Los Angeles context may recognize Amoeba as one of the last of its kind, and therefore worthy of some sort of protection.
While it may seem strange to mandate the continued operation of an individual business in an ostensibly capitalist economy, the overall impact of these regulations in Wandsworth and Barcelona may not be too far off from traditional historical designations. In a landmark 1978 case, the Supreme Court upheld a New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission decision that prevented the redevelopment of Grand Central Terminal. The owners of Grand Central Terminal at the time, Penn Central Transportation, had proposed building a new office building on top of the station, but multiple plans were rejected by the Landmarks Preservation Commission, which Penn Central contended was a violation of its right to develop the property. However, the majority opinion found, in part, that the Commission was warranted in their actions because the designation of the building as a landmark did not prevent the continued operation of the building as it was at the time, and therefore did not interfere with reasonable investment expectations. I'm not a lawyer, but it would seem that the efforts in London and Barcelona are consistent with the spirit of that ruling.
Any case for the preservation of Amoeba Music is perhaps more complicated than any of these other examples, not least because of the implications that it was Amoeba who made the decision to sell the building to developers in the first place. Regardless of the eventual outcome, the fate of Amoeba has started a worthwhile conversation on how we value commerce as culture in our society, and it brings up important questions. Is our commercial culture worthy of protection? How do we decide what should protected, and who makes those decisions? And how do we preserve important cultural institutions without turning them into theme parks? None of these questions have simple answers, but I hope we will continue to have the conversations that try to find those answers.

You may assume that by gathering some knowledge about car servicing, you can easily service your car with your own. But that's completely a wrong decision because without having any previous experience and concrete knowledge you can hardly service the car perfectly. If you hire a car mechanic then you will be assured of getting good service.
Moreover your car will look just like a new one if it is serviced in a proper way. If you are thinking that how a pro can help you maintain your car then read the rest of this article carefully. They give different types of treatment for different vehicles and you can hardly decide that which treatment will be perfect for your car. But when you take it to a mechanic then he can easily service your car according to its type. Because he is well-trained and have enough experience, after getting your car he can determine which service will be just perfect for bringing the previous mobility. After getting your car serviced by a pro of a reputed car service East Bentleigh, you will be amazed by its exterior view.
Certainly when the car has been driven for long years, it will consume scratches and with time the colour may also fade. But after giving it for servicing when you see it for the first time I bet the new look will definitely please you. A pro doesn't forget to renovate the exterior of car. Apart from giving attention on interior part of the car, at the end of the service he will re-paint your car so that it may cover up all the scratches. If you order professionals to change the colour of it then he will also do it. But for that you need to choose a colour. A pro will help to get back its past mobility. Every automobile gives a very smooth and perfect performance in the beginning, but with the passing time its performance degrades. It's a universal truth. After buying a car you will feel its high mobility, but after some years it will start to lose its previous lubricity.
When you send your car for servicing, the pro will put high quality lubricant into machines of it for which it will start to run as it was in past. Besides, if there is any electrical problem even then it can be repaired during the time of servicing.

David Beckham has revealed how indebted he feels towards Tony Adams after the former Arsenal defender consoled him following the midfielder's ejection against Argentina in the 1998 World Cup, which cost his country dearly.
In the round of 16 in the tournament, held in France, Beckham kicked out at Argentina captain Diego Simeone and was shown a red card. When England were knocked out on penalties after extra time. When his defeated team-mates trudged into the changing room no one spoke to Beckham.
"When the England players came back into the dressing room, nobody breathed a word to me," wrote the former England captain in an extract from his eponymous autobiography which is being serialised in The Times. "There was almost complete silence. I could feel my stomach tightening even more. I gulped, breathed in, and gulped again.
"I was in a packed changing room, but I had never felt so lonely in my life. I was isolated and afraid. Only Gary [Neville] and [Paul] Scholes came over to give me a word or two of comfort. I didn't know where to look. I didn't know what to say. I wanted to shout out how sorry I was, how much I wanted to take it back, but it was too late. I was trapped in my own sense of guilt and anxiety."
But Beckham's unlikely knight in shining armour was Adams. "Then, as if from nowhere, a totally unexpected crumb of comfort: Tony Adams put his arm around me," continues Beckham. "It was a strong embrace. I could feel that he meant it; that he could see how much I was suffering; that he wanted to take away some of the pain. 'Look son, everyone makes mistakes,' he said. 'Don't let it get you down. You are going to come back stronger and better.'
"I wanted to hold on to him longer, or at least to tell him how much that sturdy embrace and those heartfelt words of wisdom meant to me."

Chew On This: Best and Worst Foods for Your Teeth and Gums

When choosing what foods to put in our mouths, we often give tons of consideration to our waistline. But do you ever give a thought to your oral health?
Click here to see the Best and Worst Foods for Your Teeth and Gums
Even if you're brushing and flossing daily, the foods we choose to chomp on can also affect the state of your teeth and gums.
The minute you begin eating certain foods, bacteria in your mouth converts sugar to acids, according to WebMD. It's those acids that attack the enamel on your teeth, which starts the decay process. The good news is you have the ability to choose what you consume, and while some foods are terrible for your oral health, there are plenty that benefit your teeth.

Yesterday, City Paper spoke to Jill Carter, the Director of the Office of Civil Rights and Wage Management, about the fate of Baltimore's consent decree after Attorney General Jeff Sessions demanded, via signed statement, a 90-day pause to the decree on Monday.
The pause was swiftly condemned by Mayor Catherine Pugh and Police Commissioner Kevin Davis.
Carter said she was confident that Judge James K. Bredar wouldn't allow 90-day order to stand, and today Judge Bredar denied the DOJ's pause.
"The Government's motion is untimely. To postpone the public hearing at the eleventh hour would be to unduly burden and inconvenience the Court, the other parties, and, most importantly the public. Accordingly, the MOTION FOR CONTINUANCE OF PUBLIC FAIRNESS HEARING (EFC No. 23) is DENIED," his order reads in part.
Mostly what this denial does is allow tomorrow morning's public hearing tied to the consent decree, where Baltimore residents can testify, to continue as scheduled. It is set to go on from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. tomorrow in Courtroom 1A at Baltimore's U.S. District Court in (101 West Lombard St.).

This time of year we talk a lot about the importance of giving. "It is more blessed to give than to receive," right? (Acts 20:35) We give at Christmas because of what we were given in the incarnation -- the beautiful mystery of God With Us. And so we take care of those in need. We think of ways to demonstrate our love for friends and family through gift-giving.
Unfortunately, this is a teaching that can get twisted. Instead of emphasizing the goodness of giving, it can become an indictment on receiving. It turns into, "YOU are better if you give than if you receive."
But receiving is the other side of giving. Just because one is better doesn't mean the other isn't good. And I'm learning that it's important to be able to do both well.
* * * * *
We're wrapping up almost two months of living in a furnished apartment across town from our home. We brought only the essentials with us and packed everything else in a pod. We have spent our evenings and weekends cozily and simply: swimming at the complex's indoor pool, feeding the ducks at the park across the street, watching Christmas movies by the light of our tiny potted Christmas tree.
Meanwhile, dozens and dozens of people have been working hard on our house, bringing about Something Wonderful. Making it accessible. Making it practical. Making it beautiful. And all for us. Next week, we will get to see our home for the first time since we moved out, and I have no doubt it will be overwhelming.
I was talking to a friend about this incredible experience recently and she shared that her hope for me is that I will be able to really receive this great gift.
She knows that receiving isn't always easy. It takes a humble admission that you can't always be the one giving. It takes vulnerability to the goodwill of others and a willingness to fully enjoy without trying to repay. Not exactly strengths of mine.
* * * * *
My favorite Christmas scripture has always been the last verse of the nativity story I read every year. It comes right after the description of how the shepherds reacted to encountering the angels and then finding the baby Jesus: they ran all over the place, telling everyone who would listen. Then the author, Luke, writes, "But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart." (Luke 2:19).
She had just come through the strangest year of her life. Angels and pregnancy and displacement and the Son of God. It was all too big to wrap her mind around. And what did she do? She received it. She treasured it up and thought about it without fully understanding it.
Next week, when I walk up to and through that house in the presence of our loved ones and of the people who worked so tirelessly to bring this about, I want to have a heart like Mary's. I want to receive this thing that is so much bigger than me. I want to treasure the love behind it. I want to ponder the effects of radical generosity, truly taking it in so that it makes me a different kind of giver.

Ernst Krenek - Suite - Opus 147
for Flute and Two Guitars
Ernst Krenek was one of the greatest composers of the 20th Century. In 1980, after reviewing Jeffrey Goodman's transcription of his Suite for Flute and Piano (1956), he wrote, "I like your arrangement of my Flute Suite for two guitars very much. It is very carefully done and looks very practical and inviting...."
This is the first publication of Jeffrey Goodman's arrangement for flute and two guitars of Ernst Krenek's Suite Opus 147. It has the unique quality of having received Ernst Krenek's careful review and unqualified endorsement for publication. The music itself is a masterpiece of miniature form, with a harmonic basis that reflects musical thought of wit, purity and incandescent originality.
