Mark 1:7-11: The Baptism of Jesus (Solemnity of the Lord's Baptism)
Posted by Erineus in Baptism, Church, Faith, Feasts/Solemnities, Glory, Gospel of Mark, Holy Trinity, Jesus, Sacraments, Salvation, Year B on January 8, 2018
One time three pastors were discussing about bat infestation in their churches. "I got so mad," said one, "I took a shotgun and fired at them. Some got killed but the majority are still up there." "I tried pesticide spray," said the second pastor, "but those damn bats gave birth to new ones." "I haven't had any more problems," said the third pastor."What did you do?" asked the interested two. "I simply baptized them," he replied. "I haven't seen them in church since then!"
Indeed, like those bats, after baptism, many Christians are never seen in church again. This is what the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines called "unchurched." "Unchurched" has three categories:
First, the "nominal catholics." These refer to the catholics in name only or the so-called KBL (Kasal, Binyag, Libing) Christians. Or, as one Bishop described it: Katolikong nakaalala lamang sa Dios tuwing panahon ng Kulog at kidlat, Baha at bagyo, Lahar at lindol. Or, as someone put it, Christians who come to church only three times in their whole lifetime – when they are "hatched, matched, dispatched" … to the cemetery or memorial garden, that is.
Second, the "uninformed and unformed faithful." These refer to that many baptized Catholic Christians who grow up grossly ignorant of religious instructions and their obligations as Christians and were not formed by Christian values and virtues. There is a story said about candidates for marriage who were personally interviewed by the parish priest in a far flung area. "Do you know any dogma of the Church?" asked the priest. The girlfriend to save his boyfriend from embarrassment due to ignorance immediately answered, "The dogma of the Holy Trinity, Father!" Then the priest threw another question, "How many God do Christians have?" "Of course, one, Father," answered the girlfriend. Then the priest gave a follow-up question, "How many divine persons in God?" "Obviously, its three divine persons, Father," said the girlfriend. Finally, the priest turned his attention to the boyfriend and asked, "How about you? Do you have any idea what or who are the three persons in God?" The boyfriend, caught in his ignorance, responded, "Melchor, Gaspar and Balthasar." He confused the Holy Trinity with the Three Kings.
Third, the"uninterested parishioners." These refer to the majority of Christian parishioners who are indifferent, lukewarm and uninvolved to the mission, mission and goals of the parish. In particular, uninterested to get involved with any program, project and activity of the parish. Examples of these are the Catholic parishioners who never go to Mass, who never confess their grave sins even at least once a year during Lenten season, who never receive communion, who never observe the prescribed days of fasting and abstinent, who never keep holy Sunday and other holy days of obligation, and lastly, who never provide to the best of their ability for the material needs of the Church.
Today we celebrate the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord. Jesus is baptized not because he is a sinner but because he wants to be in solidarity with us especially in our journey towards the Kingdom of God. That he is with us and is one of us. Furthermore, the baptism of Jesus is more of a revelation of who he is and what his mission should be. As William Barclay writes: "So in the baptism there came to Jesus two certainties–the certainty that he was indeed the chosen One of God, and the certainty that the way in front of him was the way of the Cross."
As we celebrate this Feast of the Baptism of the Lord we are reminded of the necessity of baptism in relation to our salvation and the mission entrusted to us when we were baptized in the Lord. Is baptism really necessary? Yes, because baptism is or calls us to:
B – bath of rebirth. Original and actual sins are washed away and the baptized becomes a new creation
A – anointing with the Holy Spirit. The baptized, like Jesus, is anointed as priest, prophet and king.
P – erfection of Charity and Fullness of Christian life when it is no longer I who lives in me but Christ.
T – otal dedication and commitment to live the truth of faith in every moment and aspect of life.
I – nterior repentance and conversion toward new life in Christ.
S – eal of salvation. The baptized is sealed with indelible character that he belongs to Christ and marked to be saved.
M – ission to bear fruits of holiness and evangelization.
St. Paul in his letter to the Ephesians reminds us that to glorify God is to be "in the church and in Christ Jesus" (Ephesians 3:21). Hence, faith and baptism are joined as preconditions of salvation (Mark 16:16). It is, therefore, fitting and praiseworthy to renew our baptismal promises to love God above all and to reject Satan and all his wickedness.
Mark 1:7-11: The Baptism of Jesus (Solemnity of the Lord's Baptism)
Posted by Erineus in Baptism, Feasts/Solemnities, Glory, Gospel of Mark, Uncategorized on January 8, 2018
In the Prologue of the Gospel according to John, the Evangelist solemnly declared: In the beginning was Word. And the Word was with God. The Word was God…He dwelt among us. And we have seen his glory, the glory that belongs only to God's only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, full of grace and truth.
How the glory of Jesus as the Christ was revealed, manifested and shown upon to the nations, to the Gentiles? The glory that belongs only to God's only Son, Jesus Christ, full of grace and truth, is revealed to the Gentiles in many and various ways:
- In the Birth of Jesus which we commemorate every time we celebrate Christmas.
- In the person and visit of the "Magi" or the "Learned Men" from the East which we commemorate every time we celebrate the Solemnity of Epiphany, the climax of the Christmas Season.
- In the Baptism of the Lord which the Church commemorates every time we celebrate the Baptism of the Lord, the conclusion of the Christmas Season.
- In the First Miracle of Jesus at Cana where he transformed jars of waters into jars of quality wine.
Today, the Christmas Season concludes with the celebration of the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord. The Liturgy offers us, in St Luke's account, the Baptism of Jesus in the Jordan (cf. 3:15-16, 21-22).
The Evangelist narrates that, while Jesus was in prayer, after having received Baptism among the many who were drawn by the preaching of the Precursor, the heavens opened and under the form of a dove the Holy Spirit descended upon him. In that moment a voice from on high resounded: "You are my beloved Son. On you my favour rests" (Lk 3:22).
The Baptism of the Lord was held in great importance by the apostolic community, not only because in that circumstance, for the first time in history, there was the manifestation of the Trinitarian Mystery in a clear and complete way, but also because that event began the public ministry of Jesus on the roads to Palestine.
The Baptism of Jesus at the Jordan is the anticipation of his baptism of blood on the Cross, and it is the symbol of the entire sacramental activity by which the Redeemer will bring about the salvation of humanity.
There is a strict relationship between the Baptism of Christ and our Baptism. At the Jordan the heavens opened (cf. Lk 3:21) to indicate that the Saviour has opened the way of salvation and we can travel it thanks to our own new birth "of water and Spirit" (Jn 3:5), accomplished in Baptism.
In it we are inserted into the Mystical Body of Christ, that is, the Church, we die and rise with him, we are clothed with him, as the Apostle Paul often emphasized (cf. I Cor 12:13; Rom 6:3-5; Gal 3:27). The commitment that springs from Baptism is, therefore, "to listen" to Jesus: to believe in him and gently follow him, doing his will.
In this way everyone can tend to holiness, a goal that, as the Second Vatican Council recalled, constitutes the vocation of all the baptized. May Mary, the Mother of the beloved Son of God, help us to be faithful to our Baptism always.
Mt 28:16-20 Jesus Commissioning His Disciples (Ascension Sunday)
Posted by Erineus in Ascension, Evangelization, Feasts/Solemnities, Glory, Gospel of Matthew, Mission, Year A on June 1, 2014
Forty days after Jesus has risen from the dead he ascended into heaven and seated at the right hand of God the Father. This is one of the great events in the history of salvation. The great event of Ascension, whose feast the Church celebrates today. The "forty days" of Luke (Acts 1:3) correspond to the biblical symbolism of the number forty: a period of time sufficient for the attainment of the desired purpose. The event closes the period of the Easter appearances.
The Gospels of Mark and Luke and the Acts of the Apostles report the mystery of the Lord's Ascension. The witness of St. Luke makes it clear that the primitive tradition of the Church included a visible Ascension of the Lord, well separated in time from the Resurrection and not to be confused with the exaltation to heaven on Easter day. Luke describes the last departure of Christ, who had already ascended to his Father, come back several times to converse with his disciples, and now departs until the parousia. For Luke, the Ascension is important in relation to events still to take place: the sending of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost and the interval before the day of the final restoration (Acts 3:21). In Acts, the risen Lord explains that the period before the manifestation of the kingdom in the world is the time of the Holy Spirit and of the missionary Church (1:8).
What are the meanings and significance of this event for us?
The first meaning of the Ascension is that Christ in his human nature passes to the state of glory with his Father and the Holy Spirit: The risen One enters the heavenly intimacy of God. Christ' ascension, therefore, marks the definitive entrance of Jesus' humanity into God's heavenly domain, whence he will come again (cf. Acts 1:11; cf. CCC 665). This is signified by "the cloud" (Acts 1:9), a biblical sign of the divine presence. The Ascension is included in the mystery of the Incarnation as its concluding moment. As in the Incarnation he laid aside his glory as eternal Son, so in the Ascension he now receives back divine glory, which has its impact on his human nature and ours. Jesus spoke several times about his having to be lifted up – on the cross – so that believers might have eternal life (cf. Jn 3:14, 8:28, 12:32); and the lifting up on the cross is the special sign and definitive foretelling of this other "lifting up" by his ascending into heaven.
"After the glory of his Ascension he will be seen as judge on the Last Day, and even now he judges all things, and at the end of the world he will come as judge of humanity," said St. John Chrysostom (c. 349-407). The Ascension appearance to the Apostles is, therefore, the starting point of the parousia. The full right to judge human actions and consciences definitively belongs to Christ as Redeemer of the world: The Father "has given all judgment to the Son" (Jn 5:22). He did not come to judge, however, but to save, to "give eternal life to all those you [the Father] have entrusted to him" (Jn 17:2).
We know for a certainty that Christ will come again at the end of time. We confess this in the Creed as part of our faith. However, we know "neither the day nor the hour" (Mt 25: 13) of his coming. We do not need to know it. Christ is always imminent. We must always be on the watch, that is, we should busy ourselves in the service of God and of others, which is where our sanctification lies.
The second meaning of the Ascension is the beginning of the kingdom of the Messiah, which realizes the prophetic vision regarding the Son of Man in the Book of Daniel: "To him was given dominion and glory and kingdom that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed" (7:13-14). Christ's elevation to the right hand of the Father signifies his sharing as man in the power and authority of God. This sharing is manifested in the sending of the Paraclete, the Spirit of Truth, who brings about conversion of hearts (cf. Acts 2:37). In the power of the Spirit, the Apostles can now call Jesus Lord (cf. 1 Cor 12:3). After this event the apostles became witnesses of the kingdom [that] will have no end.
Jesus Christ is Lord because he possesses fullness of power in heaven and on earth. This is a kingly power "far above all rule and authority and power and dominion…he has put all things under his feet" (Eph 1:21-22). At the same time, it is priestly power, as the Letter to the Hebrews explains at length, commenting on Psalm 109 (110), 4: "You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek" (Heb 5:6). Christ's eternal priesthood implies the power to sanctify, so that he becomes "the source of salvation to all who obey him" (Heb 5:9). As Lord, too, Christ is Head of his Body, the Church. "He has put all things under his feet and has made him the head over all things for the Church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all" (Eph 1:22). Christ also is Lord of the entire universe. "He who descended is also he who ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things" (Eph 4:10) (cf. 1 Cor 15:26; Vatican Council II, Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World, Gaudium et Spes, 45).
"Jesus Christ, the head of the Church, precedes us into the Father's glorious kingdom so that we, the members of his Body, may live in the hope of one day being with him for ever" (CCC 666). St. Leo the Great, preaching on the mystery of the Ascension in Rome in 450, declared: "Since the Ascension is our uplifting, and where the glory of our Head shall go, there the hope of the Body is called, let us then rejoice exceedingly with fitting joy…For this day, not only are we made sure heirs of paradise, but in Christ we have already reached the heights of heaven, and obtained more abundant gifts through the ineffable favor of Christ than we lost through the envy of the devil."
Finally, "Jesus Christ, having entered the sanctuary of heaven once for all, intercedes constantly for us as the mediator who assures us of the permanent outpouring of the Spirit" (CCC 667). Christ, who is the Resurrection and the Life (Jn 11:25), opens to humanity access to the Father's house by means of his cross and Resurrection. The Letter to the Hebrews assures us that Jesus Christ, the unique priest of the new and eternal covenant, "entered, not into a sanctuary made with hands … but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf" (9:24); "he entered …[through] his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption" (9:12); and "When he had made purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high" (1:3). Jesus Christ goes to the Father's house to lead us there; without him, we could not enter. Now God himself is our "place" after this life, is the "last thing" of the creature.
"Left to his own natural powers humanity does not have access to the "Father's house," to God's life and happiness (Jn 14:2). Only can Christ can open to man such access that we, our Head and our Source, has preceded us" (Missale Romanum, Preface of the Ascension; cf. CCC 661).
Given all these things we can be sure that in the last day when Christ comes in glory "he will change our lowly body to conform with his glorified body by the power that enables him also to bring all thing into subjection to himself" (Phil 3:21). Hence at all times strive to "seek the things that are above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not things that are on earth" (Col 3:1-2). "Begin a new life according to the Spirit, once and for all renouncing sin and everything that leads us to sin, loving only God and everything that leads to God" ( St. Pius X Catechism", 77).

Nylon winged creature mesh and pigeon mesh is utilized widely as a fledgling rejection gadget to ensure both structures and farming yields. Nylon winged creature mesh and pigeon netting establishment can be seen on structures in towns and urban communities everywhere throughout the world where it is utilized as a pigeon rejection gadget; agriculturists likewise utilize feathered creatures netting widely to shield significant natural product crops from assault by wild fowls. The fundamental estimation of nylon pigeon nets in an urban domain where the assurance of structures is concerned is that it will mix in with the sash of the building and keep up the tasteful nature of the building concerned.
Procedure of pigeon netting installation:
The diverse cages are required to guarantee that the gap is sufficiently little to physically keep the objective species from entering the netted range and if the mesh is given on a level plane the objective species won't have the capacity to roost or stroll on the net. One of the primary issues innate with the utilization of nylon fledgling mesh and pigeon netting installation for the security of structures is the place where more than one animal types is perching on a building. For instance, if a building has been secured against pigeons by utilizing a 50mm pigeon net, starlings would have the capacity to enter the netted territory and perch or home, conceivably bringing on more settled in issues for the property proprietor.
Assuming, in any case, a 28mm starling net was given in an even application so that both species were prohibited from the netted zone, the cross section size would be sufficiently little for pigeons to walk and roost on it bringing about proceeded with issues for the property proprietor.
Types of pigeon netting
Fowl nets and pigeon nets utilized as a part of the farming area differ significantly in size and sort subject to the objective species concerned and the kind of product or environment to be ensured. Extensively talking there are two distinctive sorts of flying creature and pigeon netting accessible, Arranged and Expelled netting.
Both sorts of mesh are built from either polyethylene or polypropylene. Situated mesh is extended under controlled conditions to deliver a high elastic and lightweight feathered creature net which is ordinarily utilized for level applications. Applications would incorporate product or lake covers, security from ruthless or annoyance winged creatures or insurance from light airborne flotsam and jetsam. Expelled mesh of pigeon netting installation is generally utilized as a part of vertical applications, for example, dividers for pens, detachment in water, filtration, predator control or physical boundaries for organic product crops.
Both expelled and situated mesh is accessible in an extensive variety of sizes. Situated mesh, the most generally utilized of the two sorts, is typically accessible in sizes extending from 5mm square through to 100mm square with the most regularly utilized size being 7mm. Expelled mesh is accessible in two distinctive shapes, jewel work or square work and typically extends in size from 4mm to 42mm.

Our Lady of the Angeles - Los Angeles, USA
Exterior surfaces of the cathedral in Los Angeles, USA
To break up the large plane surface elements of the cathedral exterior, they have been textured to give the appearance of smaller elements. These elements both add character to the exterior, and tend to hide the smaller variations in surface colour that are inevitable for in-situ cast concrete.The colour has been selected in a warm golden hue, by using a golden sand type mixed with white cement.
Sculpturing a building
The surfaces of the cathedral seem to have been carved from a single block of white concrete. To avoid a massive monolithic impression, there are few apparent right-angle joints in the structure. The result is dynamic and refreshingly novel.
Click picture for SlideShow
The steeple
The steeple stands out from the remaining structure like an isolated single sculptural pillar aiming at the sky, its clerical purpose revealed only by the fragile-looking cross at the top.
The model
Looking at the model, the dynamic effect of deliberately avoiding the use of right angles can be appreciated fully. The dynamic effect is further enhanced by the use of different surface textures on different parts of the building.

I've just pushed out version 0.16.2 of my Python B-tree library. This should fix all remaining problems of B-tree nodes being modified in place while in the upload queue. This is done by never modifying nodes after they have been put into the node store. Performance suffers, but it's worth it for correctness.
If anyone would like take a stab at making it faster again, there's instructions in the README file for getting started with hacking the code, or you can ask me. Profiling indicates that it might be quite helpful to keep the root node of a tree out of the store until the forest-of-trees gets committed.
On the other hand, the performance of obnam has not been greatly affected by these changes, since it spends most of its time reading and writing the contents of files being backed up.

The book that I read was Typography, Referenced: A Comprehensive Visual Guide to the Language, History, and Practice of Typography by Allan Haley. The book aims to be a sort of textbook for typography; rather than delving into the countless details and elements of type, it gives a general overview of the history and development of the art form. It was fascinating to see how typography has changed throughout history, from the fifth century BCE, to the development of the printing press, and finally to the 21st century. I had not realized before reading this book that typography, just like any other art form, has varied throughout history.
The part of the book that I found most interesting and informational was the chapter called "Type Design and Development", which describes the process of developing type and how a particular typographer or team of artists creates a new, polished typeface that looks unified. The pictures above are from pages 34 and 39 in the book, respectively, and they show the developments of two different typefaces and how they progressed from just pencil sketches into a usable digital font. This book helped me understand how one can create an original typeface in which all of the letters look unified and work well together, and also acknowledge that this process takes a lot of trial and error. Overall, I think that this book does a great job of helping the reader understand the art of typography by showcasing the history of the art form as well as examples of individual typefaces.

Gibraltar is one of the most perfect family destinations in Europe. Whether you're down for a day trip or making the most of the great Gibraltar holiday deals at the Caleta, there's always something new to explore. As a family tourist, it can sometimes be very difficult to please everyone. With different agendas, different tastes and a lot of arguments, it can be difficult to find those crowd-pleasing activities. Luckily enough, Gibraltar is suited to families, and includes a wide range of events to keep you entertained. Below are some top tips for family visitors.
Barbary Macaques are for all ages, but don't feed them!
The Barbary Macaques of Gibraltar are one of the biggest tourist attractions in Gibraltar. As the only native monkeys to Europe, they are inquisitive, fun but can be ferocious when threatened. Whilst they are happy to get up close and personal, spreading joy to all, they can steal your food if you're not careful. The Macaques of Gibraltar have also been known to bite if they feel threatened. If you make sure your younger children mind their own business, and simply observe, you'll have no problem at all with the Macaques of Gibraltar.
There are a variety of routes up the rock
The staircase leading to the rock of Gibraltar, or the Mediterranean Steps are well known for their steepness and their need for stamina. Unfortunately, not all ages, and certainly those who are not able bodied will find it difficult to traverse. That doesn't mean that only a certain few can reach the top of the Rock, there is a regular cable cart bringing you to midway up and the peak of the rock, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the view.
Remember that shopping is duty free
With alluring glass shops, a range of cultural novelties, and the Mediterranean equivalent to the great British High Street, you'll no doubt want to find a few souvenirs from your trip. Remember that many of the products in Gibraltar are untaxed, meaning that there is a hefty discount on many of the products, including alcohol and tobacco. Whilst you might want to treat yourself to the delectable spirits, you can also find great valuer products such as Gibraltar glass, boutique fashion, and striking art for sale.
St Michael's cave is for able bodied guests
St Michael's cave requires a lot of stair and tunnel climbing. Whilst many children may want to see the beautiful lights in the depths of Lower Str Michael's, it might not be safe for the smallest of children to visit. Instead of the underground cave system, why not visit the Great Siege Tunnels instead, and relive the great battles from Gibraltar's past.
There is a wide range of dining options
With so many cultural influences, Gibraltar is well known for its brilliant array of cuisines. Whether its Moroccan dining, Spanish Tapas or good old British fish and chips, you'll be spoilt for choice. On top of this, the bar scene in Gibraltar ranges from the traditional British pub to the refined Spanish wine bar, giving you a great range of of options.
The Caleta hotel caters for all
All ages will enjoy our luxurious Gibraltar Hotel. Whether it's our Gibraltar Spa for the adults or the perky morning breakfasts for the kids, you'll have plenty of opportunity to start the day fresh when staying at the Caleta, ensuring fun in the sun all day long.

If some people are luckier than others, then the concept of luck is nonsense. It means there's some other factor at work rather than random chance. My friend is extremely "lucky" for example. Whether she's rolling real or virtual dice, she rolls whatever she needs to win. Quite simply, she expects to win and does. It's not a fun process to play against her in a game of chance. And yes, she's found several four-leaf clovers over the years.
Whereas she expects to win, and frequently does, I expect to lose and get what I expect too. It seems as though expectation is the determining factor behind outcomes. This means that luck/chance/randomness isn't an actual functioning mechanism. Chance is a fictional concept we adopt to make games seem more exciting. "Oh boy, maybe I'll win!! But maybe I'll lose!!! Hehe! So thrilling!!!" The most exciting entertainment we consume always has some sort of surprise element.
So for the purpose of our own entertainment we conveniently forget that outcomes align with our expectations, we pretend that chance is real. But realize: we have deep-seated long-term expectations as well as shallow short-term ones. This means: if you're a die-hard pessimist for example, endeavors will typically fail despite any current wish for something to work-out in your favor. Outcomes are based on a culmination of expectation rather than a quick "I hope I win this time!".
And the conclusion is this: you are getting exactly what you expect from life. There is no luck, good or bad. If you're a loser, it's because you expect to be a loser. How can you alter this trend? Change your expectation. Expect the best, get the best. The people that seem luckier are simply expecting a better life and they're receiving it. And whenever a great expectation isn't met, just plow-ahead expecting an even greater outcome.

As frontend developers we have a lot of options when we need to choose a framework for our new shining project. But there's another option that we usually don't consider at all: a frameworkless approach. Today it's possible to create single page applications, even complex one, without any kind of dependency. During the talk I will talk about our experience in extrategy using the Frameworkless technique. Most importantly I will explain how we decide the right framework, or no framework at all.

"Thermos The Bottle" Truck at the 1909 Vanderbilt Cup Race & Wacky Marketing Mobiles
By far the the most unusual vehicle at the 1909 Vanderbilt Cup Race was the "Thermos The Bottle" truck. As seen in this post, Thermos was not the only company to promote their products using wacky marketing mobiles.
Many of these images are from James Hale's book The Wonderful, Wacky World of Marketing Mobiles.
Howard Kroplick
Mark Johnson, Klingberg Motorcar Festival: "I like the photo of the Thermos-mobile at the Vanderbilt Cup races. I thought you would be interested that we had one of the Thermos-mobiles at our Conours in June along with a house car to advertise the Sears prefab houses and a cottage car promoting cottage rental on the CT coast."
In the mid 1920s, Sillito's Bakery constructed this novelty bread van to deliver its goods in England.
This Absolum Tea van was built on a Trojan chassis by coachbuilder A Crofts.
Built in 1918, the Pep-O-Mint truck was built on a Dodge truck chassis. Note the driver behind the round "O".
This Pep-O-Mint Life Savers Candy Roll car was built in the late 1920s and offered much better visiblity for the driver.
In 1918, George Rowney & Company used this Mercedes Benz "pencil van" for the delivery of its art materials.
"The old man" in this shoe car worked for Daniel Neal Children's Shoemakers. It was built on a 1921 Ford Model T chassis by Riverside Motor Works.
These are certainly very unusual. I've heard about them,but I don't think I've ever seen them. Leave it to you to find out these unusual things and let us know about it. We'll never know what we'll find out from you. Well that's it for now.
Every time I see the Thermos car (and now the Rowney "pencil van"), it reminds me of "Shirley Lois, Moon Girl", the 1929 Hungerford rocket car, <http://sbiii.com/champlc3.html#roketcar> of my mis-spent youth! Sam, III
....and the practice still exists today. Coincidentally, returning to L.I. today traveling on Route 91 in Connecticut we passed an [Oscar Mayer] Weinermobile!
From Jan Hyde:
Thermos bottle keeps drinks cool in the summer, warm in the winter. How does it know???

Several people are into the idea of using Trenbolone only cycle for the purpose of building muscles and increasing body strength. It is claimed as one of the most versatile steroidal products of all times because of its amazing androgenic and anabolic effects. If you are administering Trenbolone cycles, you can expect substantial growth of muscles, immense physical strength and increased vitality. Trenbolone is often termed as a physical conditioner as it cleanses your body and helps in the rejuvenation of new muscle tissues in the place of damaged cells. This is the reason why it is so popular among professional fitness enthusiasts including body builders, wrestlers, athletes and weight lifters. But thing that users should be made clear of is that while you are taking anabolic steroidal medications for bulking up muscles, it does not eliminate the practise of working hard every day by performing physical exercises. Instead the product enhances the anabolic effects that you gain from regular workouts for much better bulking results.
How does Trenbolone work?
The results of Trenbolone for building muscles vary from user to user depending on a lot of biological and physiological factors. Similarly the extent of positive or negative impacts also differs from person to person. In order to get the maximum beneficial impact, you need to follow a properly guided Trembo cutting cycle under the supervision of a nutritional expert. Trenbolone helps in the preservation of muscle tissues by improving the conditional of myocytes to retain more and more nitrogen, which is one of the building blocks of protein present in amino acids.
When the percentage of nitrogen increases within the cells, the rate of production of amino acids also increases with time. This will in turn help in the accelerated production of crucial proteins within the muscle tissues for enhanced performance and increased physical output. More amount of nitrogen equals to more synthesis of myo-proteins which means rapid burning of extra fat cells. This mainly happens due to increased basal metabolism.
Another classic advantage that you can get from Trenbolone is the increased production of red blood cells in your body. This is like a boon for anaemic patients as adequate strengths of Trenbolone pills will substantially shoot the production rate of RBCs in the bone marrow. Trenbolone also helps in the smooth circulation of oxygenated blood within the muscle cells that have worn out due to excessive physical workout.
How to regulate Trenbolone for better results?
If you compare the similar acting anabolic steroids in the market today, you will observe that Trenbolone is actually a very strong and harsh compound when it comes to negative impacts. There are two types of dosage cycles followed by athletes- Tren Enanthate and Tren Acetate. Tren enanthate is generally not suggested for first time users as it takes longer time to be eliminated from your system.
Tren A on the other hand, leaves your body quite easily after causing bulking effects. Most body builders take 200 mg to 600 mg of Tren E every week. Therefore to cut off the negative results to the maximum choose your Trembo cutting cycle judiciously and administer the dose strengths as given in the guidelines.

10 Things You Didn't Know About Ramadan
The Top Ten 10 Things You Didn't Know About Ramadan
It's Not Just 'No Eating' …
… It's "no drinking" too: Muslims drink not even a drop of water from dawn to dusk. In addition to not eating or drinking anything all day, they also abstain from excesses like cigarettes… Yet despite the fasting, ramadan in most Muslim countries is an interesting mix of austerity and celebration. While they abstain from many things during the day, after sunset families and friends often visit with one other, filling the streets of major cities with food and laughter until the wee hours. - mohamed46
A date is traditionally the first thing eaten to break the fast, followed by juice or jallab 'Ä" a sweet drink made from dates, rose water and carob that is usually served with floating pine nuts and raisins. In Egypt, dates, a traditional Ramadan food, are harvested in different farms and oases across the country, as well as imported from North Africa and the Arabian Gulf states. The best dates are often given catchy names by their vendors to help market them. In 2006, after Israel'Äôs war against Lebanon, the best dates were called Hassan Nasrallah, after the leader of Lebanon'Äôs Hizballah. In 2009, after the U.S. President made a visit to Cairo, the best dates were called Obama. This year, the most prized dates are called Martyrs of the Revolution. Tahrir Square is another favorite. - mohamed46
Religious baby names aren't unusual across any faith; however, when devout Catholics choose to reflect their faith in their child's name, they often go the way of a saint, like Mary, or the way of a virtue, like Grace. You'd be hard-pressed to find a baby named Lent. Not the case with Ramadan, as the religious observance has also become a common name for Muslim baby boys. While the name was a more popular choice in the '90s than it is now, Ramadan could be making a comeback. According to the website BabyCenter, the name's popularity has been steadily climbing since 2005. - mohamed46
The holy month of Ramadan requires Muslims abstain from eating and drinking from sunrise to sunset each day. For the most part, that is considered an unbreakable rule. However, there are some instances in which one may take leave of the fast. According to the holy Koran, people who are sick, elderly, traveling, pregnant or breast-feeding, as well as children under the age of puberty, can forgo fasting if it will negatively affect their health. Additionally, a fast can become invalidated for reasons such as menstruation or postpartum bleeding, intentional vomiting and, of course, breaking a fast to eat or drink. In all these cases, the Koran requires that believers take a qada fast ÔøΩ" meaning to fast one day for one day ÔøΩ" to make up for the missed days of fasting, as soon as possible. - mohamed46
After fasting through the day, Sunni Muslims may break their fast as soon as the daily maghrib prayer begins, which is when the sun is no longer visible on the horizon (although the sky is often still quite light). Shi'ites wait longer, believing that their fast cannot be broken until the last rays of light have vanished from the sky. Regional variations may apply in both branches of Islam, however, so this is not an absolute distinction. - mohamed46
Ramadan is a keenly anticipated, prime-time T.V. season. Arabic, and increasingly Turkish, production houses work around the year to create 30-episode miniseries �" one for each night of the month �" in the hopes of snagging viewers, advertising dollars and the opportunity to boast that their series was the most popular. However, this year things aren't as good. According to a Saudi newspaper, al-Riyadh, production is down 35% thanks to the turmoil of the Arab Spring. - mohamed46
Ramadan is based on the lunar calendar and begins with the hilal, the Arabic word for crescent or "new moon," in the ninth month of each year. But because the lunar cycle steadily moves backward compared to the Gregorian calendar, Ramadan falls earlier and earlier each year. During the summer months, the days are much longer and hotter, making fasting more difficult. Late in the holy month, Muslims celebrate the Laylat al-Qadr, or Night of Power. This is the anniversary of the night on which Allah first revealed the Koran to the Prophet Muhammad. While different traditions celebrate this night in the last 10 days of Ramadan, the 27th night is the most widely celebrated date, when the Koran says, "The grand night is better than a thousand months." - mohamed46
Fasting has been around much, much longer than Islam. Indeed, mentions of abstention from food and drink can be found in the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament, both of which predate the Prophet Muhammad (who was born in A.D. 570). In one case found in the Bible, Queen Esther asks the Jews to fast for three days before she visits her husband, the king, to ask him not to kill them. And in the New Testament, Jesus fasts in the desert for 40 days, which is why to this day certain Christian denominations observe Lenten fasts.
The fasting itself is also different in Ramadan in that Muslim observers can technically eat each day, they just can't consume anything during daylight hours. - mohamed46
Donations to charities see a significant rise during the month of Ramadan, as many Muslims choose to give their charity for the year during the holy month. Mosques and religious organizations offer free iftar meals to the poor every evening. It's also common for wealthier Muslims to give poor families Ramadan bags or baskets containing basic cooking items like sugar, oil, rice and tea before the first day of the month. - mohamed46
Despite the daily fasting, Ramadan is notorious for being a month of weight gain. There are many reasons why practicing Muslims often gain, instead of lose, weight during this time. Foremost is that fasting and low activity levels during the day often give way to binge eating at night. Such behavior results in slower metabolic cycles that cause the body to store fat instead of burning it. Additionally, iftar meals ÔøΩ" the evening meal served when Muslims break the fast ÔøΩ" are traditionally heavy, high in carbohydrates and lacking in nutritional sustenance. In order to maintain a healthy weight throughout the month, Muslims are encouraged to drink plenty of water, eat a diet full of fruits, vegetables and protein, and wake up every morning for the suhoor meal, which occurs before sunrise. - mohamed46

Holkham Hall is an 18th-century country house located next to the village of Holkham, on the north coast of the English county of Norfolk. This beautiful place was just a bit over an hours drive from my parents house in England and perfect for an afternoon outing. The hall was constructed in the Palladian style for Thomas Coke, 1st Earl of Leicester and has been their family home since then.
" It is the perfect English house from the Golden Age of the Grand Tour, surviving intact in its original setting and with the founding family still in custodianship."
As we arrived at the huge estate we were greeted by a huge field and lake on our right and a wooded forest to the right. We had a stroll around the Huge Estate through the beautiful park surrounding it.
The gardens stand to the west of the lake and include: A fig house, a peach house, a vinery, and other greenhouses, all of which were quite empty at the end of Winter. Usually the gardens are filled with deer roaming around but I saw no sign of them that afternoon.
The external appearance of Holkham can best be described as a huge Roman Palace! However, Holkham is a Palladian house, and yet even by Palladian standards the external appearance is austere and devoid of ornamentation.
This can almost certainly be traced to Coke himself. The on-site, supervising architect, Matthew Brettingham, related that Coke required and demanded "commodiousness", which can be interpreted as comfort. Hence rooms that were adequately lit by one window, had only one, as a second might have improved the external appearance but could have made a room cold or draughty. As a result the few windows appear lost in a sea of brickwork although they are symmetrically placed and balanced.
I read that these the yellow bricks of Holkham Hall were cast as exact replicas of ancient Roman bricks. On the ground floor, these walls are covered with small windows more reminiscent of a prison than a grand house. Even though this Hall is very impressive it does not have a "homely" feel the exterior. I do hope the interior looks different but that I had to leave to find out another day.

Dear KCC Members and Friends,
This month marks the second anniversary of Notes and News. When we started this venture, the objective was to convey church news generally, but most especially to provide information for those members of the church who had moved away or were no longer able to attend. This all has come to be, and we're so glad that it has, but the bigger -- and unexpected -- bonus of Notes and News is the connectivity the newsletter has given all of us. We all know what's going on currently and what's coming up. We know who has a birthday and who needs our prayers. We hear from our pastor and our moderator. We know when there's a work day, a potluck, or an important event in the life of the congregation. It's a little thing that happens on Wednesday but a big thing in the life of our church. It's funny how something that started out as a 'do you think we could' idea turned out to be something that we all use and depend on. It just goes to show that we should listen to our ideas. We never know what unexpected blessings will come from them.
Speaking of blessings and ideas, many members have expressed interest in our plan to offer a book discussion on Being Mortal by Atul Gawande, about the opportunity to live with grace, meaning and dignity in this chapter of our lives ... and to help our family and friends do the same. To help us secure the best time and place for what may be the first of several sessions on preparing for the challenges ahead of all of us, we will ask you in church on Sunday to indicate your interest in participating. Our intention is to hold these facilitated discussions on Friday mornings beginning in April after Easter.

A prayer for recovery from sickness:
Almighty and merciful God, you are the only source of health and healing; you alone can bring calmness and peace. Grant to us, your children, an awareness of your presence and a strong confidence in you. In our pain, our weariness, and our anxiety, surround us with your care, protect us by your loving might, and permit us once more to enjoy health and strength and peace; through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen.
From the Moderator--
I spent the better part of Tuesday developing a presentation on branding for a software company headquartered in Mumbai, India. What does that have to do with Kenwood Community Church, you say? Good question. I offered them no recommendations, answers or solutions; I just asked them questions, ones that upon reflection have equal application to our country church on the green. They included:
Food for thought.
From the Pastor--
I no longer call myself an 'Evangelical' and that makes me sad. I know what the word means in the New Testament and in Church history, and I have been proud and grateful for the word and all it meant. I was raised and ordained in a denomination which called itself 'Evangelical'.
What it used to mean is simply this: Evangelicals are 'Good Newsers' - they are people centered in the Gospel, witnesses of the Good News of God's gift of grace to us in the life, work, death and resurrection of Jesus. Evangelicals were people who felt joyfully compelled to share the Gospel with all the world. Evangelicals were Christians whose mission in life was to proclaim and live the Gospel in all its fullness, both within their own clan and with cultures around the world.
But that understanding is nearly gone. Only a remnant of it remains. The word has become political short-hand. News commentators and pollsters now use the word to describe a political viewpoint, not an expression of faith. The word has been part of the Church for hundreds of years, and proudly so. It had rich and deep meaning; it expressed loving conviction in the power of God's grace, the importance of Scripture and an openness to all people in the world. Evangelical was not an American political term, it was the Good News that in Christ, all people of whatever political party, living in countries far and wide, are invited to celebrate the Christian life.
Now, the word has lost its joyful spiritual meaning and has become political shorthand for a particular political persuasion. The word evangelical, once a Church word, is now a political term. The historical and rich meaning it once had has now been reduced to a political label. A beautiful, Biblical, powerful word has been co-opted. This is why I'm sad about it. We will find new Christian words which fully express the ancient beauty of this term, but it will take us a few decades to come up with it. In the meantime, I can only bid it a sad farewell.
Pastor Jim
Women of the World (WOW) to meet on March 16

« you never said i'd see you again. <-previous --- next-> pixel pusher »
my rythym is all off.
This morning i woke up much later than usual. my alarm is set to the radio (npr) in the morning, but i guess it had been going off for over an hour, because before i knew it they were saying that the time was 8:45. i usually like to leave by 9...so much for that.
when i got outside the sky looked like it was falling apart.
everything had a jaundiced yellow hue to it, except the sun, it was red.
and the sky, it was brown.
it felt like the end of the world.
when i (finally) got to work, at least 3 people sang that REM song to me.
at least 3, but i'm sure there were more.
oh and the sky looks like this because of all the forest fires.
sidenote: this photo was taken at around 5pm and it's not doctored in any way.
work went by incredibly quickly today (i barely remembered to eat lunch (which were leftover fat asian noodles)). we're working on redesigning just about everything on the site, which is a lot of work, but at least we'll finally look professional.
after work i headed home and napped for about an hour
(i almost slept thru that alarm too)
then i headed to chinese class (at the community college).
during class i got pretty hungry and snuck a snacky-bar
(he doesn't like us to eat in class)
but i was starving, so it was pratically an emergency.
after class i met up with katy and camille and we went to the toyroom. skinner is having an art show and i didn't know what to expect. i don't know him very well and i'm not sure what my opinion is yet either.
i only know him from kickball and he's the resident hooligan pottymouth (every team needs one).
but i was actually really impressed by his stuff.
he had a jillion paintings all done within the last 7 months.
i only wish i had as much drive.
(this is a small snippet of one of his paintings)
sidenote: while we were there he had someone take a picture of the 4 of us.
i know he's going to get it back and wonder who in the world i am.
afterwards we headed back to katy & camille's apartment and chatted.
politics, paintings and sparkle motion.
it made me realize how hardly ever go anywhere just to hang out.
i wonder how that came to be...

Congratulations are in order! Ellen DeGeneres is the recipient of the 2020 Carol Burnett Award.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced on Monday that the iconic talk show host will be honored with the accolade at the 77th Golden Globes on Jan. 5, 2020. DeGeneres is just the second person to achieve the accolade—the first was awarded to Carol Burnett herself in 2019.
"The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is delighted to honor Ellen DeGeneres with the Carol Burnett Award," Lorenzo Soria, President of the HFPA, said in a statement. "From her sitcoms, to stand-up, to becoming a household staple on daytime television, she is a pioneer who has captivated audiences for nearly 25 years with her undeniable charm and wit," the statement said. "In addition to her television success, she's an advocate and philanthropist, lending her voice to those who don't have one, and spreading kindness and joy through the power of her platform. We look forward to celebrating her achievements at this year's ceremony."

there are just some things that cannot be expressed to another human being because of the risk involved… and the weight of it is crushing. I just left the hospital, and it all hits again. there's no use in fighting it. the win will never come, so what's the point?
there are definitely 2 parts (if not more) to me. not DID, but just over-bearing attitudes that take over at various times. i wish it would all just go away. I'm so tired of this.
