Assalamu'alaikum & Marhaba,

The Kaabah
Assalamu'alaikum & Marhaba!
Eid Mubarak to all of my Muslim readers!
It has been far too long since I posted. A quick explanation – I wanted to focus all of my attention on preparing and setting up a strong homeschooling routine. I was all over the place before I started the KHT Online Montessori course. I took time to organize myself and prepare. I will be posting more about it all soon! Continue reading
Assalamu'aliakum & Marhaba!
Last month, as we were shopping for Eid presents and new clothes, my daughter who normally does not ask for anything when we are out, wanted everything "for Eid." I realized she was missing the true meaning of Ramadan; a time of worship, increasing in good deeds, and most of all giving. I decided to organize a toy drive with some of the other moms for a local orphanage. It was an act of charity my children could actively participate in despite their young ages.
Preparing the Kids
Mini Discussions
I would have little chats with the kids every couple of days to help prepare them. Some things we discussed:
Practice Kindness and Giving Daily
We all teach our children to be good to one another and share (I hope hehe) throughout our normal routines. However, I made even more of a conscious effort to draw attention to the acts of kindness and giving we practice throughout the day that sometimes go unnoticed. When one wanted a snack, I would ask the other to bring it to them and eat together and consistently repeated "thank you for sharing and being kind." When my daughter clears the table, I simply say, "Thank you for helping me clear the table." Soon enough, she was thanking me for a delicious meal herself. If anyone forgot their manners, she was also ready to remind us…kindly of course.
Books about Giving/Charitable Actions
We used the Alhamdulillah for Series to spark discussions about the various things we were grateful to have and made corresponding crafts to represent those ideas in a concrete form. This series really helped us appreciate everything around us while also teaching the kids not everyone has the same blessings. We read our collection of Ramadan books which developed the concept of charity further. The books, Ramadan Moon, Ilyas & Duck and the Fantastic Festival of Eid al Fitr, and It's Ramadan Curious George, were our favorites.
Picking Presents
Shopping for Gifts
Truthfully, I was a bit nervous before we set out to buy gifts for our assigned children. I thought it would be really hard for my daughter, who was doing the actual toy picking, to do it for another child. She kept repeating, "These presents are for the children who do not have mommies and daddies." Before we began, I explained that as Muslims when we give to others, we give what we would want for ourself or better, so to pick out things that she would like to have herself. Luckily, our assigned kids were near her age so it was easy. She picked out a large set of blocks, legos, play-doh, and a set of pre-school balls and cones. She was ridiculously excited and surprisingly did not ask me for one thing for herself.
Wrapping & Making Cards
Both of the kids had a great time helping me make personalized cards. Layaan wanted to make sure it was beautiful and special. We had a great time wrapping the presents and talking about how happy the kids will be once they see them. Her genuine excitement and interest made this the highlight of our Ramadan.
Visiting the Orphanage and Distributing the Gifts
When we arrived, Muhammad instantly was drawn to all of the children. I did not have to worry about him one bit. Layaan did not budge from my side and had a pretty serious look for most of our visit. The kids at the orphanage seemed as though they were used to visitors which made me a bit sad. It felt as if they were trained to greet donors in a specific way that was not very personal, so I tried my best to get to know them a little more than the lines they were forced to repeat.
The best part was handing out the presents to these incredibly sweet children. I could tell Layaan was a little anxious, but once she saw the huge grins on the kids' faces, her anxiety turned into excitement. I, on the other hand, was totally thrown off by Muhammad! I was shocked that my 23-month old was handing out these presents with such a mature attitude, Masha'Allah! Some of the other moms also came with their own kids and were elated their kids were able to take part in this.
One of the moms present even made goody bags for each of them with her children. Another mom sent these beautiful flower lollipops along with me since she could not make it herself. These little acts were so greatly appreciated by the kids, that I definitely underestimated their value.
These children had nothing that they could call their own except for a small amount of clothes, their beds, and their schoolwork. They could not believe we got each of them their own personal gifts. It was touching and unforgettable for us all. Layaan and Muhammad got so much more out of this experience than I thought they would. Towards the end, all of our kids joined in with the children as they were playing with their new gifts forming new friendships.
Assalamu'alaikum & Marhaba!
Layaan began taking an interest in memorizing the Qur'an a few months ago. I think it is important to start memorization early as long as we can keep the child connected between what they are learning and their daily life. Warning – I tried to keep this post short, but I failed!
For my non-Muslim readers, the Qur'an is the divine revelation sent to our Prophet Mohammad (peace and blessings be upon him). We believe it is the final revelation that completes all the others sent to the Prophets before. Committing the Qur'an to memory by Muslims has been a long standing tradition dating back to the time of our Prophet (peace be upon him) until the present without any alteration since. To learn more about the Qur'an, here is a short video. Continue reading

The British Pipe Band Championships came to town and transformed St James's football pitches into something far grander and I'm not playing:
gutted and in the huff.
Considering it's a local event we are still looking at an eight thirty start, when I say 'we' I'm using the Royal prerogative as I'm in bed. (Huff, told you) The morning throws up an interesting dilemma for Clock who has turned up super early but minus Emma Tenors drum harness; £15 fine right there. So, pay the fine or bolt home and get it. He dashes home for the missing item and returns late; £5 fine. This is a £10 saving; kind of sort of.
When I arrive the 3 ring circus that is the building of the Event Shelter is over and the guys are ensconced in style sipping coffees and discussing geopolitics and the latest Trump outrage. Once we have established it's stopped raining and it's a good drying day Pipey marshals his troops. The ghost of Gourock is written on their faces and the playing is 'ropey'. Pipey snarls them into shape. The young pipers (who like me aren't playing) hang about looking shellshocked but wearing their uniforms just in case it was a bad dream.
Rather than the usual gaggle of players heading to final tuning Pipey forms them up and they march playing the MAP set and they sound fantastic. The route is strewn with discarded drummers. James the Hat approaches from the south and I double take as he was playing a moment ago,
Me: "'sup?" (what's up?)
Hat "Drappt" (dropped)
Seems to be contagious.
We need to work on our comic entry to the arena, the whole band were out of step and sort of shuchled there way to the line, no prizes for deportment this week but we'll let them off with it as they produced a good solid performance. We're hopeful of a placing. I had been employing myself as Band Photographer, a role I quite enjoy, and decided that KPB had not been recorded in the circle for years and I'd rectify that, there is something strange and Max Wallesque about the march into the circle but it added swing to the tune so long may it endure.
With the hard work over the guys went hunting for tea and buns. James the Hat and I went in search of coffee and enroute heard many bands; stood and listened appreciatively to some and goggle eyed with horror at others as we hoped they'd get it sorted before circle time. I thought I saw Dolomite Dave dressed in his uniform to get into another free event but it was another shortass. Meanwhile back at the Ranch, Isy and Wee Rubber appeared carrying something that has been dubbed The Coronary Care burger (Haggis, square sausage, potato scone and bacon fried and stuck on a bread roll), it looked fantastic to these scottish eyes. Now, I'm not one to pass judgement on the couture of band wimmin and while most were visions from the pages of Vogue it looked as though Wee Rubber had been dressed by a toddler, waistcoat buttons all squeehooch.
Until the qualifiers were announced I listening to the Juvenile bands and got soaked. These guys are wonderful to hear but the growing crowd at Arena 3 means it's crunch time and I wander over. It's not to be but a heartening improvement from Gourock. I have places to be so head off while Pipey plants himself at the Grade 1 arena and settles in for the day where he is mobbed by Inveraray and Field Marshal.
Next week must be a Bank Holiday because we're off to the garden centre and I'm bass drummer.
Cannae wait..

I think, you encounter two problems. 1.: Overbuffering.

Isn't this a clear symptom of overbuffering? Particularly, as TCP is likely to see quite a number of RTO backoffs when starting a session? This reminds me of the difficulty of TCP in establishing a proper ACK clock in wireless networks in case of "short time disconnections", which Lachlan mentioned some weeks ago. However, when a queuing delay in wirebound networs grows to 5 or 10 seconds, the queue is obviously dimensioned far too large. > Back to my question: should this phenomenon be included in "congestion > collapse" (I believe so), or should we invent a new more specific name > (Buffer Madness?). It is surely not congestion collapse, because the traffic growth in CC is caused by extensive retransmissions. So, CC is basically self induced. More precisely: The traffic growth is self induced and the resulting packet loss is self induced. When, if, there is something self induced in your problem, this is the growth of the RTO. However, this is hardly a real self induction. I think "buffer madness" or "extensive buffering syndrome" would be suitable.

Historical Discrepancies
Heaven prepared from eternity.
Matthew 25:34;
Hebrews 4:3; 11:16
Not till after Christ's ascension.
John 14:2-33
The word "prepare," in the first texts, denotes to create; in the last case, to adapt to ones character and needs. Heaven, as a place, was created from eternity; but the process of its adaptation to any given soul, in order to preserve the fitting relation to that soul's character and progress here below, may not be completed till the soul's earthly probation terminates. That is, a mutual preparation—of the soul for heaven and of heaven for the soul—may be now in progress.
Holy Spirit existing before man.
Psalm 104:30
Genesis 1:2;
Not till later.
John 7:39
The text at the right does not refer at all to the beginning of the Spirit. The ellipsis is to be supplied in some such way as follows: "The Spirit which they that believe on him should receive, for the Holy Spirit was not yet [received by them]; because that Jesus was not yet glorified." The verb which is expressed suggests that which is to be supplied.379
Holy Spirit bestowed before Pentecost.
John 20:22
Not till that time.
Acts 1:5, 8; 2:1-4
In the first text, the words "Receive ye," etc, some hold that the imperative is here used for the future, "Ye shall receive." So Kuinoel. 380 Alford: "The presence of the Lord now was a partial and temporary fulfilment of his promise to return to them; the imparting of the Spirit now was a symbol and foretaste of what they should receive as Pentecost."
Ishmael about sixteen years of age.
Genesis 17:24-25; 21:5-8
Apparently very young.
Genesis 21:14-18
The English version of verses 14-18 is peculiarly infelicitous, and makes a wrong impression. The "child" was not placed upon Hagar's shoulder, nor cast under the shrub, nor held in the hand, as an infant might have been. The Hebrew word here rendered "child," denotes, not only an infant, but also a boy or young man. 381 Ishmael was at the time some sixteen years of age. The growing boy would be much more easily overcome by the heat, thirst, and fatigue of
379 Codex B. followed by Lachmann and Meyer, supplies [Greek given]
380Compare, on the other hand, Winer's Grammar of N. T. Idiom, p. 312.
381 So Fuerst and Gesenius. The same word is applied to Joseph when seventeen years of age, Genesis 37:2, 30.
wandering than his mother, the hardy Egyptian handmaid. When he yielded to exhaustion she hastily laid him, fainting and half-dead, under the shelter of a shrub. Even after he was refreshed with water, he needed to be "held," that is, supported and led, for a time. 382
Israelites bondage 400 years.
Genesis 15:13
Apparently a less time.
Genesis 12:4; 21:5; 25:26; 47:9
Two diverse theories are advocated by critics with regard to the duration of the servitude in Egypt. 1) Many 383 hold that its actual length was less than two hundred and fifteen years. They maintain generally that the "four hundred years" begin with the birth of Isaac, and the "four hundred and thirty," 384 with the call of Abraham. Isaac was born in the twenty-fifth year of Abraham's sojourn in Canaan; Jacob was born in Isaac's sixtieth year, and was one hundred and thirty when he descended to Egypt. This would leave but two hundred and fifteen years for the whole sojourn in Egypt; only a portion even of this latter period being spent in actual servitude. This hypothesis is open to weighty objections, some of which are: that the free, independent, nomad life of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, previous to the descent into Egypt, does not properly come under the head of servitude and affliction predicted in Genesis 15:13; that a large portion of the period was spent in Canaan, 385 while but one land, that of Egypt, is mentioned in the prediction; that the former country could not, in view of the Divine promise to Abraham, be characterized as a "land not theirs"; and that, on this hypothesis, the grandfather of Moses must have had in the lifetime of the latter 8600 male descendants, of whom 2750 were between thirty and fifty years of age! 386
2) It is maintained by the majority of modern critics 387 that the sojourn in Egypt occupied the whole four hundred or four hundred and thirty years. This theory, which allows ample time for the increase of the Israelites, and which meets the demands of the case in other respects, encounters the following objections: that Paul 388 reckons "four hundred and thirty years" between the promise

to Abraham and the giving of the law (here, however, since the precise length of time did not affect his argument, we may suppose that he follows the commonly received view of his day, or, as Lange says, he may have regarded the death of Jacob as "the closing date of the time of the promise"); that the time was but four generations 389 (we have seen that this is equivalent to four hundred years); and that not enough names are given in the genealogy to cover so long a period (it has been conclusively shown by Kurtz and others, that the omission of several names in a genealogy was common; and that the words "bear" and "beget" are used with reference to somewhat remote ancestors. 390 Hence it is inferred that in Exodus 6:18-20 several generations have been omitted).
Israelites dwelt in Heshbon 300 years.
Judges 11:26
A longer period.
Various texts
If, following Josephus, 391 we allow twenty-five years for Joshuas period of rule, and ten years for Eleazar and the elders 392 who outlived Joshua, adding also the several periods of judgeship, and of servitude previous to Jephthah, as recorded in the book of Judges, we obtain three hundred and twenty-nine years; sufficiently near to the round number above.
Jacob's age at his flight, forty years
Genesis 26:34; 28:5
Seventy-seven years.
Genesis 41:46, 53; 45:6
Joseph was some thirty-nine years old at the time his father, aged one hundred and thirty, went down to Egypt; hence he was born when his father was ninety-one years old. But Joseph's birth occurring in the fourteenth year of the sojourn with Laban, it follows that Jacob, instead of being only forty years old, 393 was actually seventy-seven, 394 at the time of his flight into Mesopotamia. Besides, since Isaac was one hundred years old at the time of Esau's marriage, and lived to the age of one hundred and eighty, we have a period of eighty years for Jacob's tarry with his parents, his sojourn in Mesopotamia, and his return to his father at Hebron. 395
389Genesis 15:16.
390See striking examples in Genesis 46:15,18, 22.

393 So Von Bohlen and Liitzelberger.
394 So Lange, Murphy, Keil, Kurtz, Hengstenberg, etc.
395Genesis 35:27.
Jacob's sons—eleven born in thirteen years.
Genesis 29:20-21; 31:41
Within seven years.
Genesis 29:30-31; 30:25
Jacob served the "seven years" for Rachel, after his marriage with her. 396 In the first four years after the complex marriage, Leah bore four sons and Bilhah two; in the fifth and sixth years Zilpah had also two. In the sixth and seventh Leah bore two more children, and in the latter year Rachel bore Joseph. 397 Thus Jacob might have eleven sons born to him in seven years. Kennicott, Horsley, and Beer maintain that, according to the Hebrew text of Genesis 31:41, Jacob actually spent forty years in the employ of Laban, and that all his children, except Joseph, were born during the first thirty-four years. 398
Jehovah—name unknown.
And I appeared unto Abraham, unto
Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name
of God Almighty, but by my name
JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
Exodus 6:3
Name appears in the original of the
following passage
Genesis 4:1, 26; 5:29; 9:26
Some 399 think that the name was introduced in Genesis by anticipation, that Moses "antedated" a name which had just come into use for the first time; others 400 take the meaning to be, not that the name was not known before, but that it's full meaning was previously unknown; others that those special attributes of God, or that aspect of his character, which the name "Jehovah" indicates, had not been disclosed before.
Judges—period, about 300 years.
Some twenty texts in Judges and 1 Samuel
Four hundred and fifty years.
Act 13:20
Adding together the several periods of rest, judgeship, and oppression specified in the above twenty texts, and allowing twenty years for Joshua's rule, we obtain four hundred and fifty years. But the best critics discard this method of reckoning, and hold that some of the judges were contemporaries, ruling in different portions of the land at the same time. The text from Acts has really no bearing upon the subject, since, according to the order of the Greek in the four oldest and best manuscripts, the correct rendering is, "He gave them their land as a possession about four hundred and fifty years; and, after that, he gave [to them] judges until Samuel the prophet." 401 It may be added that the chronology of the

book of Judges is very uncertain, there being more than fifty different methods of reckoning the same. 402
Levites' service began at thirty.
Numbers 4:3;
1 Chronicles 23:24;
At twenty years of age.
1 Chronicles 23:3
2 Chronicles 31:17
In Moses' time the Levites from the age of twenty-five were employed in the lighter kinds of service; 403 while, for the transportation of the heavier materials of the tabernacle when the Israelites were on the march, 404 men older and stronger were required. 405 After the temple was built, its much less onerous service permitted the standard of age to be lowered to twenty years. After the age of fifty, the Levites were simply to "keep the charge," or guard in the tabernacle, but were exempted from all laborious duties. 406
Light created in the beginning.
Genesis 1:3
Sun and moon on the fourth day.
Genesis 1:14-19
The question is often sneeringly asked, "How is it that the Bible represents light as existing before the sun and moon were created"? Humboldt, 407 followed by Wagner and Schubert, 408 calls attention to the fact that light exists independent of the sun, that the earth becomes "self-luminous" in the northern light; that the earth, as well as other planets, particularly Venus, is capable in itself of developing a light of its own.
Such interpreters of science as Agassiz and Guyot have shown that light results from molecular action or combination. Hence, the command, "Light be," was simply another way of saying, "Let molecular action begin"—whereupon light was at once evolved. Professor Dana 410 says, "At last, through modern scientific research, we learn that the appearance of light on the first day, and of the sun on the fourth—an idea foreign to man's unaided conceptions—is as much in the volume of nature as that of sacred writ."
BAD UNDERSTANDING - THAT WHICH WAS COVERING THE EARTH [VAPOR CLOUDS - FIRMAMENT ETC.] BEGAN TO BE REMOVED TO LET THE LIGHT OF THE SUN AND MOON COME IN. THE BEGINNING OF DAY AND NIGHT STARTED. LOOKING FROM EARTH YOU WOULD SEE THE DAY LIGHT AND THE DARKNESS OF NIGHT - YOU'D SEE THE DIFFERENCE IN A 24 HOUR PERIOD. THE SECOND DAY - THE HEAVEN AND EARTH AS WE HAVE IT TODAY. THE THIRD DAY THE LAND AND SEAS AND VEGETATION ETC. OF THE LAND, WHICH WOULD NEED THE SUNLIGHT TO EXIST. THE FOURTH DAY CORRECTLY TRANSLATED BY FENTON - "HAD CREATED" - THE SUN AND MOON WERE ALREADY THERE.

Lord's supper instituted at Passover.
Mark 14:12-26; Luke 22:1,13-20
Matthew 26:17-30;
Upon the preceding day.
John 13:1-2; 18:28
Of the two leading theories the first is, that the Lord's supper was instituted on the evening following the fourteenth day of Nisan, at the legal time of the passover. Robinson412 maintains that the term "passover" sometimes comprises the whole paschal festival, or the feast of unleavened bread which began with the passover proper; that the expression "to eat the passover" may mean "to keep the paschal festival"; and that the "preparation of the passover," John 19:14, denotes simply the customary "preparation" for the Sabbath, which occurred in that paschal week. In this view, which relieves the difficulty, a host of critics413 substantially concur.
Others414 hold that the Savior and his disciples anticipated the passover by one day, partaking of a substitute upon the thirteenth day of Nisan. They suggest that there were two distinct days, both legal (one real, the other apparent time) for keeping the passover; or that the Jews had fallen behind a day in the computation, and our Savior corrected their error; or that they at this time purposely delayed a day. Both of the above theories find very able and ingenious defenders.
THE LATTER HAS PART OF THE TRUTH; THE JEWS HAD FALLEN BEHIND A DAY, MAKING ONLY 7 DAYS FOR PASSOVER AND FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD; IT SHOULD BE A TOTAL OF 8 DAYS. THE WHOLE TRUTH IS IN MANY STUDIES UNDER "SABBATH AND FEASTS OF GOD" ON THIS WEBSITE - Keith Hunt

Moses feared the king of Egypt.
Exodus 2:14-15; 4:19 Acts 7:29
Did not fear him
Hebrews 11:27
He feared feared the king at first, but braved his anger at a later period.
Peter's denials at one time.
Matthew 26:34;
Luke 22:34; John 13:38
At another time.
Mark 14:30
The four evangelists agree as to the number of the denials; but Matthew, Luke, and John represent them as occurring before the crowing of the cock; Mark as occurring before the cock should crow "twice." Mr. Warington,416 disregarding this trivial difference, takes the essential substance of Christ's words to be that, "in a few hours' time, ere early dawn, Peter should thrice deny his Master whom he now professed himself so ready to die for."
Alford, Whitby, and many commentators note that cocks are accustomed to crow twice—at or near midnight, and not far from daybreak. Inasmuch as few persons hear the first crowing, the term generally denotes the second. All the evangelists refer to this latter; but Mark with greater precision designates it as the "second crowing."
It seems probable that no one of the evangelists has mentioned all the denials by Peter during that sorrowful night. As the accusation was caught up, reiterated, and flung in his face by one and another of the servants and the guard, the terror-stricken man, in his agitation and in his anxiety to clear himself, would be likely to repeat the denial a considerable number of times, and in every variety of phrase. And, meanwhile, he would naturally be shifting about from place to place. This hypothesis accounts for the difficulty as to the persons who accosted him, and the places where he was when the denials were uttered.417
Samuel judged Israel all his days.
1 Samuel 7:15
Resigned at Saul's accession.
1 Samuel 8:5; 12:1
Samuel laid down the civil, but retained the ecclesiastical authority; so that, as Ewald 418 says, "he is still, as before the change, the revered prophet." This appears clear from 11:7, where an edict is issued in the name of Saul and of Samuel.

Some think that the first appointment was kept, 11:14-15, and a second made, to which latter the thirteenth chapter refers. But Ewald 419 and Keil take the passage at the left as a mere general direction, that, if at any time Saul went down to Gilgal to offer sacrifice, he was to wait there till Samuel arrived.
Seed time and harvest unfailing.
Genesis 8:22
Interrupted at times.
Genesis 41:54, 56; 45:6
The Hebrew word rendered "cease," in the first text, means to come to an end, to cease to be. A temporary interruption is not precluded. Besides, an unbroken succession of seasons is promised, but not necessarily of crops.
Sepulchre visited at sunrise.
Mark 16:2
At the early dawn.
John 20:1
Ebrard 420 thinks that Mary Magdalene—the only woman specified by John—came first and alone to the sepulchre. If so, she may have come "early, when it was yet dark"; while the other women did not arrive till "the rising of the sun." Or, of the two parties of women, 421 Mary Magdalene with her friends may have come at the earlier, the others at the later time.
Otherwise in the loose popular sense, the expression "rising of the sun" may denote the early dawn, when the rays of the coming sun just begin to redden the east. Thus, in Psalm 104:22, it is said, respecting young lions, "The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens"; yet it is well known that wild beasts do not wait for the actual appearance of the sun; at the break of day they retreat to their lairs. 422 Upon any of the above hypotheses, there is no discrepancy in the case.
Temple built 480 years after exodus.
1 Kings 6:1
At a different time.
Numerous texts in earlier books.
As to the oft-cited text, Acts 13:20, we have elsewhere seen that it has no bearing upon the present question. The period of time intervening between the exodus and the building of the temple is variously reckoned by scholars at from
419 History of Israel, iii. 29.

480 to 741 years. 423 The Septuagint gives 440 years; Josephus, 424 592; Browne, 425 573; Clinton, 426 612; Rawlinson, 580 to 600. On the other hand, Bahr, Cassel, Ewald, 427 Keil, Rosch, 428 Thenius, Winer, 429 and others accept the number 480 as authentic. If we adopt the latter hypothesis, we may follow Bachmann, Cassel, Keil, 430 and others, in making several of the periods of rest, oppression, etc., in the Book of Judges, synchronous, thereby adjusting the whole amount so as to harmonize with 1 Kings 6:1. Or, we may regard the 480 as a numerical error; or, with Rawlinson, as "an interpolation" of a comparatively recent date.
Wandering of Israelites forty years.
Numbers 14:33
Somewhat less time.
Joshua 4:19
Numbers 33:3
The deficiency was merely five days. In the first text, a round number is employed. Other examples of the use of round numbers are, Exodus 16:1,13-14, 35 and Joshua 5:10-12; also 1 Kings 6:1 and 37-38.
Worship of God—beginning.
Genesis 4:3-4
Not till a later time.
Genesis 4:26
The latter passage is of doubtful interpretation. It may refer to the first institution of the regular, solemn, public worship of Jehovah, in place of the former private, arbitrary, irregular service as seen in the sacrifices of Cain and Abel 431. Murphy thinks that at this time men first began to address God in prayer and thanksgiving. Previously their worship had been mute adoration.

The altar in question was a kind of coffer, made of stout acacia planks covered with plates of bronze. When about to be used, its interior was filled with earth or stones, the whole being levelled, so as to form a kind of hearth. It was, therefore, strictly speaking, an altar case,432 "hollow with boards."
1 Chronicles 11:13
2 Samuel 23:11
It is doubtful whether the two passages refer to the same incident. If they do thus refer, [Hebrew given] lentils, has been confounded with [Hebrew given ]barley.
THE HEBREW IS NOTICEABLY DIFFERENT, SO THE FIRST THOUGHT IS CORRECT - Keith Hunt
Cattle of Egypt—all died.
Exodus 9:3, 6
Some animals survived.
Exodus 9:19-21; 14:7, 9
The first passage seems to imply that all the horses, asses, camels, oxen, and sheep of the Egyptians died; yet, the latter passages show that their cattle and horses did not all die.
1) The term "all" is often used in a loose sense to denote the mass, the great
majority—such a quantity that what remains is nothing in comparison. 433 This use of the word is due in part to "the want of universal terms in Hebrew." 434
The plague was limited to animals "in the field," 9:3. Sir Gardner Wilkinson 435 tells us that some animals were stall-fed in Egypt. This explains the restrictive clause, "in the field"; as also, the existence of cattle among the Egyptians after the plague.
The Hebrew word rendered "cattle," in the text referred to in the ninth chapter, denotes neat cattle, and the smaller animals, but seldom, if ever, includes horses. 436 These considerations obviate the difficulty.
AH YES INDEED "ALL" OFTEN IN SCRIPTURE HAS A LIMIT…..LUKE "ALL THE WORLD WENT TO BE TAXED/ENROLLED…." THOSE IN CHINA OBVIOUSLY NEVER WENT - Keith Hunt
Crooked straightened.
Isaiah 40:4
Cannot be straightened.
Ecclesiastes 1:15; 7:13
The first text refers to moral defects. The design and tendency of the Gospel is to remedy these; to change dishonesty and perversity into equity and simplicity, and haughtiness into humility.
432See Jahn, Bib. Archaeol., § 329; Kurtz, iii. 142; also, Exodus 27:8.
433 So Aben Ezra, Ben Gershon, and Keil. See examples of this use, 1 Samuel 1:21 and 22\ Matthew 3:5 and Luke 7:30.
434R. S. Poole in Smith's Bible Diet., iii. 2541.
435 Ancient Egyptians, i. 96 (2d series); similarly Abarbanel and Rashi.
436Gesenius says the word is "strictly used only of sheep, goats, and neat cattle, excluding beasts of burden. . . . More rarely asses and camels are also comprehended."
The other passages refer to natural ox constitutional defects. As a rule, these are remediless. One born an idiot can never, by any process of education, become a man of talent; a person born without eyes can never have the defect remedied by human skill. Zockler, with Hengstenberg and Hitzig, observes, "Human action and effort, in spite of all exertion, cannot alter that which has once been arranged and fixed by God." In the Vulgate, Ecclesiastes 1:15 is rendered singularly, thus: "The number of fools is infinite"
Earth founded upon the seas.
Psalm 24:2
Founded upon nothing.
Job 26:7
The first passage asserts that the earth is established above the waters, so that they will not overflow and destroy it; the second text—the words of an uninspired man—may refer to the scientific truth that the earth hangs free without support in space.
NOT SURE WHAT "UN-INSPIRED" HAS TO DO WITH IT; THE FACT IS THE EARTH DOES HANG FREE IN SPACE, AS WE WOULD LOOK AT IT FROM SAY THE MOON - Keith Hunt
Earth saturated.
Genesis 1:9-10
Needed moisture.
Genesis 2:6
Some 437 assert that the fact of the earth's being moistened by an ascending mist or exhalation, does not harmonize with its previous submergence in water. As if the earth upon emerging from the briny moisture which could not support vegetation, would not afterward become dry, and need dews and rains!
THE EARTH COMING FORTH FROM WATERS COVERING IT, AND LANDS BROUGHT INTO BEING; A MIRACLE OF DRYING OUT THE LAND WAS ALSO DONE BY GOD, SO MOISTURE TO NURISH THE VEGETATION, TREES, FLOWERS ETC. WAS INDEED NEEDED - Keith Hunt
Golden calf burnt and ground.
Exodus 32:20
Burnt, stamped, and ground.
Deuteronomy 9:21
Goguet 438 and Stah l439 say that natron, which abounds in the East, has, like tartaric acid, the power of reducing gold to powder—and this the sooner, if the gold be previously heated. Moses, having pulverized the gold in this way, mixed it with water, and caused the Israelites to partake of the nauseating liquid.
Davidson 440 explains the case, as follows: In preparing ores of gold and silver for the smelter, stamps, or massive beams shod with iron, and weighing as much as eight hundred pounds, are used. These are lifted by machinery, and let fall upon the ore contained in iron troughs. If overstamped, or "stamped

440Introd. to Old Testament, i. 254-255.
dead," as it is termed, the fine particles float away and are lost. Gold, from its great malleability, is peculiarly liable to suffer thus. The gold of which the calf was made was designedly and indignantly over-stamped; and, when cast into the stream, would float away. As this author thinks it would impart no special taste to the water.
Wilkinson 441 mentions that, in the towns of Egypt, certain persons were employed to pound various substances in large stone mortars with heavy metal pestles. When well pounded, the substance was taken out, sifted, and the larger particles returned to the mortar. This process was continued, till a sufficient degree of fineness was secured.
Moses may have cast the image into the fire to change its form; or—if it were made of wood and covered with plates of gold—to destroy its combustible part, afterwards employing some one of the processes above described.
Images taken away.
2 Samuel 5:21
They were burned.
1 Chronicles 14:12
The Hebrew expression rendered to take away may also mean to destroy.
Leadership of the cloud satisfactory.
Exodus 13:21-22
Not reliable.
Numbers 10:29-31
Geddes and others 442 object that if the cloud had been a reliable guide, the Israelites would not have needed Hobab to be to them "instead of eyes," as knowing "how they were to encamp in the wilderness." But, God is not wont to do that for man which the latter might do for himself. The pillar of cloud determined the general route to be taken, the place of encampment, and the length of tarry in each location; yet human prudence was by no means precluded with respect to arranging the encampment so as to combine most advantageously the circumstances of water, pasture, shelter, supply of fuel, medicinal or nutritive plants or substances, and the like, in or near the station. In all these particulars, Hobab's experience, and knowledge of the desert, would be exceedingly useful, as supplementary to the guidance of the cloud.
Manna—taste, like wafers made with honey.
Exodus 16:31
Like fresh oil.
Numbers 11:8
441 Ancient Egyptians, iii. 180-181; Hengstenberg, Egypt and Books of Moses, p. 217.
442See in Graves on Pentateuch, p. 481 (sixth edition).
443Kurtz, Vol. iii. pp. 214-215, 258, 281.
The Jewish interpreters and Kurtz say that, in its natural state, it tasted like "cakes with honey," but cooked or ground, like "fresh oil." The Septuagint employs in the first passage a word which is interpreted by Athenaeus and the Greek scholiasts as denoting "a sweet kind of confectionery made with oil."
Molten sea—appendages, knops.
1 Kings 7:24
Otherwise called oxen.
2 Chronicles 4:3
The "knops" may have been in the form of miniature oxen. Or, as De Wette and Rawlinson think, here may be a copyist's error, [Hebrew given] , knops or gourds, for [Hebrew given] , oxen.
DON'T THINK A COPYIST ERROR, ENOUGH DIFFERENCE IN THE HEBREW TO ELIMINATE THAT IDEA; WHEN YOU KNOW HOW THE SCRIPTURES WERE COPIED, SUCH AN ERROR WOULD NOT COME ABOUT - Keith Hunt
Mosaic law—character, cruel.
Deuteronomy 33:2
Conducive to happiness.
Deuteronomy 30:16
The words "fiery law," in the first text do not imply cruelty in the law, but may refer to the illuminating power of that law, or to the marked exhibitions of divine glory when the decalogue was given. 444
It may be added that those who stigmatize the Mosaic law as "cruel," are probably not aware that in point of clemency it compares favorably with the laws of other nations in ancient, as well as modern times. In the Mosaic law only some seventeen capital crimes are mentioned. 445 The laws of the Roman kings, and the twelve tables of the decemviri were full of cruel punishments. 446 In the English code, about two hundred years ago, there were one hundred and forty-eight capital crimes, "many of them of a trivial nature, as petty thefts and trespasses upon property." In England, in the eighteenth century, it was a capital crime to break down the mound of a fishpond, to cut down a cherry tree in an orchard, to steal a handkerchief or other trifle, of above the value of twelve pence, privately from another's person. In Sir Wm. Blackstone's time (a.d. 1723-1780), no less than one hundred and sixty 447 offences (almost ten times as many as in the Mosaic code), were declared by act of parliament to be capital crimes, worthy of instant death. 448
These facts should silence those who are perpetually inveighing against the "barbarity of the Mosaic code."

445 Wines, Laws of the Ancient Hebrews, p. 263.
446Montesquieu, Spirit of the Laws, Book vi. chapter 15.

448Blackstone's Commentaries, iv. 4, 15-18 (Christian's edition, New York, 1822).
Mount inaccessible.
Exodus 19:12, 21-24
Might be approached.
Exodus 19:13,17
The Israelites were commanded to "set bounds" about the mount; perhaps, to build a fence or hedge of some kind. At the blast of the trumpet they were to leave their encampment, and go up to the foot of the mountain. But they were forbidden to "break through" the bounds or barrier, that is, to pass a certain limit, under penalty of death. 449
Nothing new on earth.
Ecclesiastes 1:9-10
Some things are new.
Isaiah 43:19; 65:17; Jeremiah 31:22
Obviously, in relation to the Creator, nothing is new, for nothing is unforeseen or unexpected to him. And something similar may be said of man, viewed as a race, since the phenomena of nature recur in regular order, and history ever tends to repeat itself. But, with reference to any specific man or generation of men, many things are "new."
Paschal offering, a lamb or kid.
Exodus 12:5
Might be from the herd.
Deuteronomy 16:2
The Hebrew word "seh" means both a lamb, and a kid.450 This fact relieves some apparent incongruities in our version. In the second text, the term "pass-over" includes not only the proper paschal sacrifice, but also the offerings 451 (some of which were taken from the "herd") of the succeeding six days; as is clear from the next verse: "seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith." As to Exodus 12:9 compared with Deuteronomy 16:7; the Hebrew term "bashal" means sometimes to cook in water; at other times, to roast or broil. 452
ALL PASSOVER QUESTIONS AND SEEMING CONTRADICTIONS, ARE ANSWERED IN MY MANY STUDIES ON THE TOPIC, UNDER "SABBATH AND FEASTS OF GOD.." - Keith Hunt
Parable of the talents.
Matthew 25:14-30
Of the pounds.
Luke 19:11-27
Strauss asserts that these are discordant versions of the same parable; but Chrysostom, Gerhard, Alford, and Trench, 453 have shown that they are separate parables, addressed to quite distinct groups of hearers, in different states of mind, and needing different admonitions.
449Kurtz, iii. 115-116.
450See Exodus 12:5.
451Numbers 28:16-19.
452Compare 2 Samuel 13:8; 2 Chronicles 35:13; particularly, the latter text.
453On Parables, p. 220 (American edition).
Strange gods, real existences.
Psalm 96:4-5; Isaiah 44:9-10,17
They are nothing.
1 Corinthians 8:4-5; 10:19
Paul, in asserting that "an idol is nothing in the world," does not deny the existence of the idol, but simply that it has any power to help or harm the worshipper. As Crusius has remarked, not the existence, but the divinity, of the idol is called in question.
Sun and moon put to shame.
Isaiah 24:23
Their glory increased.
Isaiah 30:26
The two passages combined are a poetic prediction that in a coming day, the light of the sun and the moon, though increased sevenfold, will be outdone and thrown into the shade by the revelation of the transcendent glory of Jehovah.
Version of affair—one form.
Genesis 42:7-20, 30-34: 43:3-13
A different form.
Genesis 44:16-34
Tuch refers the variation to the inaccuracy of the narrate Judah. It may be that the agitation and alarm of the speak modified his narrative to some extent. At all events, his accuracy is not vouched for by the sacred historian.
Vessels made for the temple.
2 Chronicles 24:14
Not made at the time.
2 Kings 12:13-14
The statement in Kings simply amounts to this; that none of the money contributed was employed in making vessels, so long as the repairing of the temple was in progress. What became of the surplus that remained this author does not tell us. But the chronicler supplements the narrative with the information that this surplus was afterwards expended in making vessels for the temple.454
Waters of Egypt turned to blood.
Exodus 7:20-21
Some not changed.
Exodus 7:22, 24
We may take the word "all," in the nineteenth and twentieth verses, in the loose popular sense, 455 as implying far the greater part; the exceptions being so few and insignificant that the author overlooks them entirely. Some water remained unchanged, upon which the magicians operated, and which
454 So Bahr, Keil, and Rawlinson.
455 So Keil, and Hengstenberg (Egypt and Books of Moses, pp. 109-110). The latter points out the use of universal terms throughout the narrative, "all the trees" broken by the hail, etc. The idiom is a very common one in all languages.
the Egyptians drank during the interval. Kurtz 456 thinks that only Nile water, whether in the river or in vessels, was changed, the water in the wells being unaffected. Mr. R. S. Poole 457 suggests that "only the water that was seen" was smitten, that the nation might not perish. Mr. Alexander 458 thinks that "the water when filtered through the earth on the bank of the river, was restored to its salubrity." This agrees with the statement that "all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink" (verse 24). Any one of these hypotheses obviates the difficulty.
Water upon Mt. Carmel abundant.
1 Kings 18:32-35
The drought very severe.
1 Kings 17:7; 18:5
A rationalistic author sarcastically observes that the writer of Kings, in representing Elijah as using so much water 459 at his sacrifice, apparently forgot the long-continued drought, which, having lasted more than two years, must have dried up the mountain streams and the river Kishon supplied by them.
Whence did Elijah obtain water? Blunt 460 thinks that, since Carmel is upon the coast, sea water was employed. Bahr suggests that the brook Kishon was not dry, and that the water may have been obtained thence. Robinson 461 expresses the opinion that the transaction took place at the foot of the mountain; perhaps, at some Tell (hill) near the permanent fountains of the Kishon.
But Dean Stanley, 462 with Van de Velde, J. L. Porter, Rawlinson, Tristram, and Prof. C. M. Mead, 463 speak of a perennial fountain, a little below the summit of Carmel, from which the water was almost certainly obtained. Stanley, quoting Van de Velde, describes it as "a vaulted and very abundant fountain, built in the form of a tank with a few steps leading down to it, just as one finds elsewhere in the old wells or springs of the Jewish times." Prof. Mead, at a recent visit, found the water in this fountain more than nine feet in depth, and suggests that it may have been considerably deeper in Elijah's time. He says that the "trench" dug by the prophet would contain some twelve to twenty-four quarts only. He found upon the summit of Caramel, and not very far distant from the aforesaid

fountain, "a rocky surface, artificially smoothed, about eight feet square, around the edge of which had been dug a groove an inch or two in depth."
This may have been the very spot where Elijah vindicated the patriarchal faith, and where Jehovah "answered by fire" the prayer of his servant the prophet.
AND THIS IS TO SAY NOTHING OF A MIRACLE FROM GOD, TO HAVE WATER THERE WHEN ELIJAH NEEDED IT - Keith Hunt
We have now reviewed carefully, yet of necessity rapidly, the "discrepancies" of the Bible. We have aimed to include all that are worthy of even a cursory glance; and we trust that the candid reader will feel that, in the great majority of cases, we have stated, or at all events suggested, fair and adequate solutions. When we consider the long interval of time—from eighteen to thirty-three centuries—which has elapsed since the several books of scripture were written; and that during all but four centuries of this time they have been circulated and transmitted in manuscript; and the additional fact that our knowledge of antiquity is exceedingly limited and imperfect—many minute, and sometimes important, circumstances pertaining to every event having passed irrecoverably from the memory of mankind—when these disadvantages which attend the investigation of the subject are taken into account, it surely can not be too much to believe that, if in any instance the explanation adduced should seem inadequate, a knowledge of all the circumstances of the case would supply the missing link, and solve the supposed discrepancy to the complete satisfaction of every reasonable mind.

I traded them a necklace that looked exactly the same to the one they had on trade, and what do you know? They declined the trade.
I went to their den and asked the question ''What do I trade for the necklace?'' Their response was:
Now trading shorts and longs for a lowly necklace is just plain ridiculous, so I asked them why their offer was so outrageous, and received the reply:''Because the magenta necklace is SUPER rare!''
I certainly hope the average Joe can identify this piece of information as completely false.
Anyways, I asked them ''And if u accept the trade I become super rare?'' and they responded with ''Yes!''.
I figured this was enough evidence, so I simply told them they were lying, and left the den.
A few minutes later, I happened to run into them again while they were casually doing their scam again in Coral Canyons.

On the day, we waited for our instructor/driver to meet us in the lobby, only to be greeted by an unhappy man. The man claimed he had been calling our room many times but we obviously didn't respond as we were in the lobby waiting. Nonetheless, the man wasn't happy with us. We started the journey which was fine and they were pleasant until they started playing some incredibly explicit R-rated rap songs about women being objectified in the bedroom, whilst I appreciate it may have been on the radio - change the radio station! As a woman, I felt so uncomfortable and had I not been with another member, I would have asked to return to the hotel.
The tour itself ie. Quad Biking, Dune-Bashing etc was good, however, as I felt so uncomfortable by the driver partner, we returned early.
I would recommend this company for men only as I don't believe it is right for women, given my experience.
It seems like this was the first tour for them. People were standing around with no seating and the waiters did not even advise food was ready. The buffet was not lit up so I had to use my mobile phone flashlight to see the food i was putting on ny plate.
We had a good city tour guide, who gave us a good overview of the places we visited. However, we did not end up doing all the places that was listed in our Iternary.
The desert safari was great and we had a great driver.
This was a really cool experience. The dune bashing was awesome and we had a great driver, the entertainment with dinner was excellent. However, I would have liked the camp to stay open a little longer. If you wanted to visit the camels, etc. you had to miss the dancers. As soon as the dancers were done, everything packed up so I missed out on the henna and the falcon. The staff who stayed on the campsite were incredibly helpful and friendly. I would recommend this as a fun experience for Dubai.
The actual day was wonderful but the tour guide on the boat seemed to be more interested in having his own holiday and made barely any contact with the 3 solo travellers on the boat this day including myself and preferred to spend his time lounging on a sofa at the back of the boat or interacting with the young, gorgeous girls. Very unprofessional. E.g. when line fishing he was more interested in catching his own fish than helping the kids who were unsure of how to do it etc. However, the views were absolutely incredible and lunch was delicious. I would definitely go again. Would be 5 stars if the boat operator had not left his poor indian staff to do ALL the work while just lying around unprofessionally.
This tour was interesting. The tour guide made it, he was terrific. Tour itself was interesting as we had only just arrived so a good way to see a little of Dubai first. Bring plenty of water, a hat and good sunglasses, it's incredibly hot
I got up at 6:00 to get picked up from my hotel at 6:30. We were in Oman in 11:40. Six hours to collect all the passengers from their hotels and reach the port?? Disaster!
Now for the trip: the boat was old, some of the railings on the top board were broken. The music someone played wasn't suitable for all the visitors for Indian people may be, but I am from Bulgaria and I prefer to listen something more appropriate for a boat trip. The snorkeling gear wasn't enough for everyone, some of the life vests were torn and probably unsafe.
The beach itself is rocky, so get yourself fins.
The food, however, was delicious, may be the only good think on this trip.
And the fishing..... oh, the fishing : This is the worst part ever. I admire when fisherman get on their boats to provide for their family, or to provide for other people. But fishing for fun is not the right entertainment, at least for me.
And HERE comes my worst experience on the boat and not only mine: one of the passengers caught a water snake. The snake was tangled to the fishing cord and was suffering, may be even suffocating. The skipper grabbed a knife and just cut the cord without releasing the suffering animal. And one of the tour guides I don't know his role, actually just said what can I do, man?.
So, the conclusion is, that I cannot recommend this trip to anyone: the ship is old and the crew cannot suppress it's barbaric habits. The beach is the worst I've seen ever and the whole experience wasn't worth the money.
This was such an amazing experience. If you are an American looking for adventure, this is definitely the tour for you. The activities on this tour had a lot of variety, from snorkeling to banana boat riding to taking a smaller boat to the beach or simply relaxing on the boat. Lunch was amazing, and had a lot of variety-- and of course, loads for seconds! i encourage anyone to really get to know others on the tour. I ended up becoming friends with a lovely woman and her husband from Brazil, and also ended up being in a big group of people dancing on the main deck! Our little soiree included people from Singapore, India, and the UAE. We had a great time, and I still keep in touch with most everyone!
Super fun dunes ride - great driver ! Enjoyed the whirling dancers

Science Pitt Researchers Grab $5M in Grants for Stem Cell Research
Shane McGlaun (Blog) – September 28, 2009 11:30 AM
Researchers working on growing tissues inside of lymph nodes from stem cells
Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh have received two grants that total over $5 million from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to explore new methods for cultivating replacement cells from inside the body and organs. The grant will be used to study ways to coax stem cells to grow into specific types of tissue inside the lymph nodes of the body.
One of the grants was for $2.9 million and was awarded to Eric Lagasse, a professor of pathology in Pitt's School of Medicine. Lagasse is also a researcher in the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine. He will use the funds on research to use the many lymph nodes in the body as sites for growing replacement cells for other tissues. His research will use the lymph nodes as bioreactors to grow cells within the body.

By Steve Newton
I did my eighth interview with Joe Satriani the other day–man, I love that guy–and finally got to ask him about something that his former G3 tourmate Yngwie Malmsteen once said to me.
Back in 2014 I had interviewed Yngwie in advance of his Guitar Gods show in Vancouver, and that was when he declared that Ibanez guitars–the brand preferred by primo pickers like Satch and Steve Vai–were "a bad copy" of the model he holds dear, the Fender Stratocaster.
Then the famously opinionated Swede went on to describe the esteemed Gibson Les Paul as "furniture".
Well, the ensuing blog I posted caused quite a stir among guitar freaks, many of whom seemed outraged by the audacity of Malmsteen's comments. I mean, the nerve of that guy to insult the axe that launched a million killer riffs!
So when I got the chance this week to see what Satriani's take on the controversy would be, I went for it.
Have a listen:

One day in History
Sit for one hour focussing my mind away from thought and onto the life within me.
Get up and log in to Second Life. Spend two hours talking to my friend who had just been dumped by her SL boyfriend. Couldn't really cheer her up much but arranged to talk again at lunchtime.
8.00 Take my wife a cup of tea in bed.
Have my breakfast - two slices of home-made organic wholemeal bread with organic spread and marmalade on, and two mugs of tea.
Go outside and feed the lambs. Bring my horse in and give him a feed. Spend about an hour grooming my horse and trimming his feet. Do a really good job.
11.00 Have a coffee.
Sharon and Maureen arrive to work with the horse they are buying from us. I help them for a while. We longline the horse up the road to get her used to traffic and to teach her to walk forward on cue.
1.oo Spend more time with my SL friend - she is a lot happier now. My wife Sarah brings me my lunch which I eat while I am sitting at my computer.
After lunch we go out and I trim Sarah's horse's feet and then we go and worm a sheep that has an obvious problem - being organic we are not allowed to routine worm, we can only worm in obvious cases of necessity. I feed the cats in the barn.
Sarah spends the rest of the afternoon working on her book on the computer. I do some research into some machinery we need on the farm. I feel tired so I take a nap - I've been doing this now for a few days, I'm really starting to enjoy my afternoon naps - my Dad naps too so I feel good about it.
Wake up and check my blog and those of my blogging friends, especially Vicus who is one of my oldest buddies. See this thing about a day in history and decide I should join in.
Spend an hour writing my post.....
For the purposes of completing a day, the rest of the day is what I think is going to happen. If it is dramatically different I will tell you tomorrow.
Sarah is going well on her book so I make supper. Tonight I make a rice and vegetable cheese bake - yummy! We eat pretty much 100% organic and we love our food. Afterwards we have a smoothy made from banana, apple, yoghurt and soya milk - yummy.
After supper Sarah watches telly and I go on Second Life. Just so you know, I have a little character on there who I roleplay - he is quite like me in some ways but quite different in others. I meet up with my SL friends, especially my little character's SL girlfriend Rosie who comes from Arizona USA. I love these little friends that I have on SL - they come from all over the place and we have really good chats about all sorts of stuff. Sometimes it is so funny I role about laughing, other times it is very sad, other times it is serious, sometimes stuff about politics, or often philosophy with my friend Wolf. Most days we have lots of banter and lots of stuff about relationships. We know each other so well - it is frighteningly real at times.
Sarah goes to bed about 10.30 and by the time I get up to bed at about 12.30 she is fast asleep. I climb into bed and lie by her side. I listen to her breathing and thank God for giving me a wife I love and for allowing me to experience this creation.
I am soon fast asleep.

that was great Tom.ReplyDelete
The sheep are glad you have Sarah too! :-)
Hmm, this post is a bit too lovey dovey and positive ...ReplyDelete
There, that should get you back into a grumpy mood ...
Betty, thank you for saving me from my moment of illusion. Somehow I slipped into a dream there for a moment.ReplyDelete
Normal service will no doubt be resumed shortly.
Kyah, that is disgusting, especially from you. I'm shocked, and are you busy tonight by the way.ReplyDelete
They'll be saying in 2165:-ReplyDelete
"I've heard about that 2nd Life stuff. It was about 40 years before the invention of the orgasmatron."
"ooh, matron."ReplyDelete
heh heh, all booked up Tom!ReplyDelete
Kyah, not surprised babe, with a mind like that.ReplyDelete
Tom, sorry to get serious on this and it's not personal, but isn't part of the whole organic thing to do with good animal husbandry? So how can the philosophy that routinely worming a sheep be against its best interests and those of the flock as a whole?ReplyDelete
Tommy dear, you make me want to have sheep. Organic sheep.ReplyDelete
I doubt my HOA would approve, however.
- Anonymous20/10/06 15:16
I am so sorry that Sarah has horse's feet. I may be missing my guess, but I doubt whether she would want that fact advertised on the internet.ReplyDelete
Needless to say, my discretion is assured.
OK Richard you asked.ReplyDelete
The reason organic farming does not allow routine worming of animals is, if they are farmed correctly it is not necessary.
Excessive worm burden is caused by over-stocking and keeping the stock on the same ground for too long. Also a side-effect of routine worming is that it lessens the natural resistance to worms that the animal would normally have.
By good husbandry I can get my lambs from birth to your plate without the use of any poisonous chemicals, the use of which not only pollutes your food and therefore you, it also pollutes the planet.
By using chemicals in medicines and feedstuffs to prop up our animal population we have weakened their resistance to disease and pests. Pretty much the same has /is happening with the human race too.
There ends the first lesson. Richard or anyone else - feel free to come back at me with what you think - I like discussing this stuff - it's one of my favoutite topics.
Its always amazing to read about how others go about their daily life. I love horses and animals and the openness and wonder of being on a farm, yet I never really have been on one. My godmother, though, owns horses, so I have always been out to ride...but it has been awhile.ReplyDelete
Thank you for posting. You day is full!
I've been using Verm-X on the ponies and just had the count done and they're fine - I'm pleased I went with this method. How do you feel about flu innoculations? I have to say I never liked having the kids done but went with it until one had a reaction, but having the ponies innoculated against flu was one of stipulations on the insurance.ReplyDelete
OK Ziggi, this is an interesting question. See, when my second child was born we were totally idealistic and didnt vaccinate her. Then when she was two she got whooping cough. She would cough until she was out of breath and then pass out and fall over. I had to revive her by blowing air into her lungs. It went on for weeks.ReplyDelete
I wouldn't wish that on any one - it was an absolutely terrifying time for us.
So no way would I ever say to anyone they should not vaccinate their kids. On the other side of the coin I, and practically every other kid my age, survived measles, chicken pox, and mumps no problem (some obviously didn't survive). It is possible that by surviving these illness's other things may also have benefitted, who knows. And who knows, maybe by surviving the vaccines you are in the same place anyway.
Do the scientists know the answers to these questions? Course they don't.
But anyway, with animals I see it differently. I see human life as more precious (only my personal point of view, you understand). So no way would I bother vaccinating an animal - I want my animals to deal with whatever nature throws at them, as best as I possibly can allow.
Just as an afterthought, organic farming does not allow any suffering for any animal - and if medicines are needed then that is that.
Re. your ponies, you have to do it for insurance anyway so that is the end of it, surely. Maybe if they were breeding stock and you were an organic purist then it may be different.
Hope that's not too full on. Tend to rant off a bit on this kind of thing. Have a pop back at me by all means Ziggi.
I liked the part where you are glad you have a sweet wife that loves you!ReplyDelete
Re: the de-worming and vaccination thing, aren't all animals and humans alive today the end result of millions of years of resisting disease? My mother, who's in her late 70's, had whooping cough, typhoid fever, rheumatic fever (aka scarlet fever), measles, mumps, chicken pox and diphtheria. It's a wonder she's still alive but she's one of the healthiest people I know. It's a proven fact that antibiotics are creating strains of resistant bacteria, so I believe Tommy is right. At least about the animals.
- Anonymous23/10/06 17:11
Carmenzta. I am sure you did not intend to be cruel, but Tom is also right about having a sweet wife who loves him.ReplyDelete
Quite why she does is entirely a different matter.
Tommy, stop playing in sl and post something new so we can all applaud, and toss flowers, room keys and undergarments at you.ReplyDelete
You know how we get when you don't post. Er, I mean, you know how Carmy gets when you don't post. Me, I'm just fine. Yep. I'm good.

Chris Evans is Officially
Captain America

Captain America
Remember when Chris Evans was just that funny dark-haired dude from
Not Another Teen Movie
? Well, that's how I remember him. He's come a long way since and, after already enjoying one comicbook movie with Fantastic Four, has agreed to suit up for Marvel's
The First Avenger: Captain America
First Avenger: Captain America is Chris Evans
The agreement is a big one for Evans, and I can understand why it might have taken some time for him to dot the eyes and cross the tees. By joining up, the deal call for the actor to star in at least three Captain America films, with the first obviously being
The First Avenger: Captain America
. The deal also means that he will also be involved in
The Avengers
, which also ties in Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and the Incredible Hulk (Edward Norton). That film is scheduled for a May 4, 2012 release, almost a year after
The First Avenger
's theatrical debut on July 22, 2011.
Hugo Weaving will play the villain in
The Avengers
, Red Skull.
For those of you still out of the loop on Captain America, the character, created by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon, was introduced during the 1940s as a sickly young man who, when injected with a super-soldier serum, is turned into the perfect human weapon to aid the United States' effort to fight the Nazis during World War II. His costume resembles the American flag and he flings an indestructible shield as his primary weapon. The film will serve as an origin story.
Evans can next be seen in
The Losers
