Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking …
… Always gonna be an uphill battle …
… Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb.
Yep, this was exactly the song that's been playing over and over in my head as I felt my heart rising to my throat and beating hard in my ears. It was the hike or technically the climb we had last weekend that got me an LSS of Miley's The Climb, and consequently rendered my thigh muscles so painfully sensitive.
It was my first time to hike the Canada Hill where the "Grand Old Lady" boastfully stood for about a century. The Grand Old Lady is the first oil well ever built in Malaysia. And thus, it added a little wonder and excitement to actually hike on the area where the oil industry of Malaysia started. A local friend of a company joined us and served as a guide. We decided to take the full trail which he said would take about an hour. While at the top, we passed by a grassland which amazed me because the ground is made up of pure white fine sand. We started our descent meeting beaten up hikers following the opposite direction. I was surprised because most of the descent and ascent were quite steep that would technically require a rope to hold on to. I had no idea that it was quite hard, I thought of it as just a regular forest trek. Oh man, was I that wrong. It was a grueling cycle of climbing up and down on slippery, rocky, muddy, grassy, and bushy forest slopes. Midway I was already gasping and became almost light headed a few times after a long ascent. My knees were already shaking and my feet were getting heavier and heavier. My white gym shoes were so muddy because I'm already incapable of choosing the best footing.
We passed by an abandoned house in the middle of the forest, by a small stream just after one of our descents. The frames and a few walling were still intact. It wasn't like a Nipa hut or something like that which easily becomes disposable, it was really a house. It was so odd, who would have lived there, it's so far from the road. By the moment it was getting a bit dark, we realized we've been moving for over an hour already. Also, we were by ourselves then, the other hikers that we occasionally met have gone. And then as we walked further, we came into this trail that was almost not there. It became so bushy that we could not almost pass through the twigs and branches of shrubs and vines. I fell a couple of times because my foot was caught in the vines and it was already dark. Good thing I decided to wear long pants, my legs were spared from the mosquitoes and the plants' itchy trichomes but my arms weren't. It turned out, we passed by a different and much longer trail and went out to a different exit. At the exit, the road was already paved and we passed by this housing compound with newly built big houses that parked Toyotas and Lexus in their garage. The exit we arrived at was quite far from the Grand Old Lady, thus we have to walk our way up again to the top of the hill. In the end, I can say it was a great hike – surprising and intense. I would definitely do it again.

Towards a Post-Civilizational Praxis
For Jim Flynn and Pat Geier
A Reflection on John Dominic Crossan God & Empire: Jesus against Rome, Then and Now [2007]
In the past few awful, maleficent years of the Bush Administration, a spate of books has appeared in which the word "empire" is used as applicable to the United States itself. In his latest work, Scripture scholar John Dominic Crossan brings his research on the historical Jesus to bear on this timely, terrifying matter of empire.
Crossan's book is a sustained meditation on three options available to us in the early 21st century: Civilization, Anti-Civilization, and Post-Civilization. According to Crossan, Civilization, contrary to its uncritical and zealous celebrants, is full of barbarism. For one recent example, think of 20th century Germany and its philosophical, intellectual, musical, and cultural wealth and its death camps. Empires of successive civilization have wielded military, economic, political, and ideological power to further their self-serving aims. Read the rest of this entry »

CFP: [International] Staging Interculturality
CFP: Staging Interculturality (Austria) (01/15/09; 06/04/09-06/07/09)
The German Society for Contemporary Theatre and Drama in English is pleased
to announce its 18th Annual Conference (4-7June 2009). It will be organised
by the Department of English (Prof. Rubik, Prof. Huber) at the University
of Vienna and held as a rooming-in conference at the Don-Bosco-Haus, Vienna
(13th district).
In the age of globalisation, contacts between different cultural groups
have become a common aspect of everyday life. Intercultural competence is
now a set requirement for corporate staff, and training courses suggest
that intercultural encounters are deserving of the highest attention.
However, the resulting challenges to national, ethnic, class and gender
identities point to the considerable complexity of encounters between
different cultural groups. While intercultural encounters have been
conceptualised rather positively as 'multi-culturalism' emphasising the
benefits for all participants, theories of the 'clash of civilisations'
paint a much darker picture. The number of buzzwords created in recent
years in order to articulate aspects of migration and cultural exchange,
such as hybridity, cultural diversity, cross- and trans-culturalism, gender
performance, and sociological change all testify to an increased awareness
of, and interest in, these phenomena among politicians and academics alike.
The 2009 CDE conference aims to examine how contemporary drama and theatre
engage in the discourse of interculturality. Starting from a broad concept
of culture, topics for papers may include (but are not restricted to)
· clash of cultures, hybridity, métissage
· cross-cultural exchange, cultural transfer
· representations of migration/emigration/immigration and diasporas
· exoticism in dramatic form and/or content
· minority theatre (subcultures, youth cultures)
· transgressions (race, class, gender, colonialism/post-colonialism)
· world theatre vs. national traditions of playwriting
· plays centering on globalisation/localisation/glocalisation.
N.B.: In accordance with CDE's constitutional policy, papers should deal
exclusively with CONTEMPORARY (i.e. post-Beckettian, post-1989) THEATRE AND
Abstracts: Abstracts (250 words) of suggested papers (20 minutes' delivery
max.) should include a short biographical note plus full address and
institutional affiliation.
Deadlines: Enquiries and submissions should reach the organisers no later
than 15 January 2009.

[Let's] Get Lost
Let's get lost.
Throw me the keys.
Those nameless streets
and winding twisty roads:
U-turns and pin curves
the farther we go.
Turn up the music and
Roll down the windows.
The roaring wind is our
faithful passenger.
Stop signs and yield signs
how many can we ignore?
Green lights and speed bumps,
merging towards adventure.
Throw the map to the sky
and let's drive into the sunset.
And let's get lost in each other
on this road to everywhere.

Easter without eggs?
Yes…it can be done. It has taken a bit of 'creative imagination' over the years to create an 'Eggless, Dairyless, Peanut/Tree Nutless Easter'…but such is the life when you have a son with an egg (dairy, sesame, beef, lamb, fish, shellfish, peanut/tree nut, mustard and raspberry) allergy.
So you can just imagine my excitement when I discovered 'Eggnots' last year…I was giddy as a schoolgirl…even my teenage sons got caught up in my 'eggnot frenzy'!
'Eggnots' are dyeable, ceramic 'eggs'…created by a 'most awesome Aunt' whose niece has an egg allergy.
Last year my eldest son held an 'egg' in his hand for the first time…they really do have the weight and feel of a real egg! Click here for my first post on 'Eggnots'.
As much as I love 'Eggnots'…I was not a 100% sold on the results of my dyeing with store-bought food colouring…the colouring faded as they dried and seemed a bit patchy. After sending my comments to 'Eggnots'…they sent me a free dozen for me to try again…this year I decided to try some natural-dyes.
'Eggnots' recommends going to Allyson Koerner's review for natural-dyes…click here. She used natural-dye recipes from Better Homes and Garden…as did I. Click here for their list of natural-dye recipes.
I made the cabbage (blue), yellow onion skin (orange), turmeric (yellow), paprika (red/orange) and the grape juice (purple) recipes.
I made all the natural-dyes (minus the grape juice) in the day…then left them overnight…I ran out of time. The next day I tested three of the colours…
…submerging each 'eggnot' in the blue (cabbage) , yellow (turmeric) and purple (grape juice) natural-dyes…needed to use a spoon to hold the 'eggnot' under the natural-dyes.
I left them for over an hour…wanted to make sure they really got hold of the colour.
Boy, did they ever!
I then tried the red/orange and the orange…these both needed much more time…I left the red/orange one over night and still the colour was quite pale in comparison to the other natural-dyes.
My results…totally impressed with the natural-dyes…just look at the beautiful colours of nature! Love, love, love them!!!
From left to right in the front are…blue (red cabbage), purple (grape juice), and brownish orange (yellow onion skins). Back row left to right are…purple (grape juice), light orange (paprika) and mustard yellow (turmeric).
Tips: Pat the 'eggnots' dry with a paper towel when finished dying…let them sit upright in the paper towel to dry…placing them in an eggcup holder will result in a two-tone colour…which you may or may not be after.
Are you familiar with 'Eggnots'? If so, what has your experience with dyeing 'Eggnots"? What is your experience dyeing eggs with natural-dyes?

In 2012 Travel Cases were added to Malmark's line of innovative and quality products. We're very proud of these cases as we've put a lot of thought and planning into making them the best cases for transporting your valuable instruments. To see Travel Cases in our store, click here.
Designing and manufacturing the best carry cases for handbells doesn't just happen; it's the result of many hours of research and planning. At Malmark, our years of experience and innovative spirit that began with our founder, Jacob Malta, is evident in the Malmark Travel Case. As an example, Joann Malta, one of Malmark's owners, recalls that by observing the way customers use and handle their handbells in cases and how they need to transport them was considered. This process included considering potential hazards involved, as well as which features would be most valuable in setting goals for the new Travel Case. These goals include:
We are pleased that Malmark's Travel Cases meet all the above goals in addition to offering other great features. Our research and observations confirm that Travel Cases are the superior case on the market because of the durability, weight and balance, design and functionality of every case, plus the personal service Malmark is known to provide. Here are more details as to how we achieved our goals:
You may have read and wondered what the significance of "ATA-approved" is for handbell cases. Joann explains that "ATA-approved" cases, such as Malmark Travel Cases, meet the guidelines set by the Air Transportation Association. Meeting these guidelines assures customers that Malmark Travel Cases can "withstand the rigors of shipping by any means and not compromise the integrity of the contents." Consequently, Guidelines set by the ATA figure heavily into the design and testing of our Travel Cases. And, not only do our products comply with the guidelines but they are also weight-balanced for the comfort of the handlers. (Most times the "handler" is you!)
Malmark's cases are designed to stack without sliding, have locking latches that won't accidentally open and can be secured with your own lock, weight-balanced for easier handling and formatted to integrate upper bells into the bass cases resulting in fewer cases. You'll love knowing exactly which bells are in which case without opening them because each case comes with a permanent external note plate! This is in addition to note labels inside for each bell pocket. (A pernament note plate is a better alternative than a hanging luggage tag that can get caught between cases or come off, paint pens, or other DIY methods.)
Case Interiors
Interiors of Travel Cases use the same proven-for-over-forty-years fabric, which covers foam inserts that absorb shocks and protect bell castings from damage. Moreover, we' like to bring clarity into the discussion of materials used to line bell interiors. Another company has indicated their "closed-cell" foam is a safer alternative than "open-cell" foam covered in fabric, inferring that closed-cell bare foam will not trap moisture. However, we feel this is misleading. What is the significance of the open or closed-cell foam? Yes, open-cell foam does contain small pockets of air but simply stated by Joann, "If we were speaking of a closed area of insulation, perhaps we could state the closed-cell foam may provide more moisture resistance. However, these are carrying cases with open pockets the size of each handbell and the cases are opened and closed regularly allowing air exchange." For this reason, "there is NO assurance moisture cannot be trapped in the closed-cell inserts which only provide the least-cost effective means to hold the bells in place."
More concerning than a small amount of moisture in a case is the real potential for damage to handbell castings stored directly on foam inserts. Elaborating on this concern, Joann says "the foam is a plastic, and plastic melts and out-gasses in heated environments. The melted foam on the bronze castings often etch into the metal making removal impossible without de-tuning the casting." This situation is a costly and frustrating experience for the customer who believed their handbells were protected only to be faced with unexpected repairs or replacement of handbell castings. Malmark has witnessed this damage when receiving handbells for refurbishment at our factory. Although it doesn't happen to every set transported in the hot summer months it is a potential hazard that should be avoided.
More Details
Do Travel Cases fit other brands of handbells? You bet! We can fit ANY BRAND of handbells into Malmark Travel Cases.
Pockets? Yes, Travel Cases offer the same interior pockets as our standard cases so you won't be missing a place to store mallets, gloves or polish cloths, or anything else you need.
Never worry about a lost or broken luggage tag for your cases again! Malmark offers engraved brass or laminate plates as an add-on to Travel Cases so you can permanently identify your property. The black laminate plates look fabulous on Travel Cases!
About Joann:
Joann Malta began working for her father Jake Malta's business in 1976 after graduating from the University of Delaware as a Fine Arts major. She has worked in all of Malmark's facilities from the original 3000 square foot location in Doylestown, PA to neighboring New Britain's facility to our present 45,000 square foot plant in Plumsteadville, PA. Having the opportunity to work closely with her father she handled the quality control and customer service, continuously learning and implementing those lessons and becoming an integral part of the Malmark business.
By 1993, the business was booming and on a constant upward projectile. Joann left Malmark to complete the nursing education she originally had in mind when graduating from high school. She became a registered nurse in 1996 and as fate would have it, became the primary caregiver for her mother just diagnosed with cancer. Taking care of her mother returned her as close to Malmark as she could be without physically working in the plant, since conversation with her dad centered on the business when not on health. With her mom's death in 2004 she considered returning to Malmark, but Jake's health began to turn.
Returning to Malmark in 2011 following Jake's death, Joann is presently the Quality Controller as well as a principal of the company. She considers herself extremely lucky to have her father's legacy around her daily and celebrates over 42 years of the Malmark family business.

NXS2 Series by Pioneer Now Works with Traktor
Pioneer had already set the club standard with the CDJ-2000NXS2 and the DJM-900NXS2. There was just one little thing: you could only use Pioneer's own Rekordbox with it. But now, that's all changed. The mixer is now fully compatible with Native Instrument's Traktor Scratch Pro 2, enabling seamless integration with your DVS. What's more, you can operate your tabletops via the USB-HID with Traktor Pro 2, including loops, waveforms and track info.
Old-school scratching
The fact that Pioneer initiated the collaboration with Native Instruments is a good sign. Even though the DJM-900NXS2 was DVS-ready, that was only with Rekordbox. Now, DJs can integrate their Traktor Scratch Pro 2 with their club mixer. All you need to do is connect your laptop to the mixing console via the control media (by means of a timecode record or CD) and you've got your entire music library at your fingertips! Back-to-back spinning is a breeze, as there's still a USB input, but now, you can switch over to your program in a flash without the need for an external audio interface.
Good luck comes in threes
You don't usually see a DJM-900NXS on its own. Indeed, it's often sandwiched in between two CDJ-2000NXS2 units. Native's Traktor Pro 2 is now also compatible with those tabletops; again, it's simply a matter of hooking up your computer and you're off. You can use the screen on the CDJ to navigate through your tracks, and set your cues and tempos. Basically, all the basic information you need is available at a single glance, and without the need for an external audio interface.
Are you the lucky (future) owner of a CDJ-2000NXS2 or DJM-900NXS2 and do you work with Native Instruments Traktor Pro 2? If you'd like to combine them, update your Traktor with version 2.11 or higher and make sure your DJM is running on firmware version 1.2 and your CDJ on 1.5. Firmware updates are available on the Pioneer website.

The second life of the ZX Spectrum is quite something to behold. The '80s British computer, whose life as a commercially-viable platform spluttered out in the early '90s after an impressive decade as one of Europe's most popular home computers, has refused to pass into history more than probably any other retro-platform. Whilst there are people still writing games for the Commodore 64, Amiga, Sega Megadrive etc they are not churning them out at anything like the rate they're churning them out for the Spectrum. Dozens and dozens of new games are created each year, many of them a bit crap, some of fun and a few of them gems. It's like the '80s never ended.
What I really like about recent release Leonardo's Lost Last Invention – a three-part game based largely around platforming and arcade action sequences – is that it's a bit of a mess and yet a mess in a way that works and feels right. The instructions are a little vague, it's got a few bugs, and it feels dreadfully unfair in places. It doesn't work all that well as a game but playing it puts me instantly in mind of dozens of games discovered on compilations, magazine covertapes and 60-minute cassettes with "Spectrum Games" scribbled by a friend in biro across the front. It's flaky and unprofessional but at the same time charming and intriguing and you kind-of want to keep playing it. At least until you get all the bits of the flying machine and make Leonardo fly. That's cool.
What am I rabbitting on about? I'm not sure. I think it's a mixture of nostalgia and respect for the amateur and the eccentric; this is a new Spectrum game which feels like an old Spectrum game in a way too few new games for the platform manage to. Regardless, I recommend Leonardo's Lost Last Invention even though it's not very good. Go on, take a chance, it's free.

This coloring book will help children discuss and understand their feelings. It can be used in educational, therapeutic, and family settings to explore loss and help maintain family cohesiveness during parent-child separation.
Children with incarcerated parents are an invisible population. There is no one agency that is responsible for them and their welfare. Nationwide, more than 2 million children have a parent who is incarcerated in state and federal prisons, and local jails (U.S. Department of Justice 2007). Since 1991, the number has continued to increase by more than 50%.
Research indicates that the loss of the incarcerated parent, especially the mother, has a profound effect on minor children and adolescents. Children retain bonds and love for parents regardless of the label attached to them by society. One study estimated that children with imprisoned parents are almost six times more likely than their peers to become involved in crime and incarcerated at some point in their lives.
These children can experience a variety of emotions including anger, isolation/sadness, fear, anxiety and guilt. These emotions or their reactions to them can lead to problems or violence, erosion of self-esteem, and "risky" or dysfunctional behaviors. Many of these children see no chance of having their lives follow paths which are different from their parents.
Psychotherapist Dr. Janice M. Beal and Federal Judge Vanessa Gilmore in their respective professions had both seen the emotional devastation in the lives of children whose parents were incarcerated. They designed this coloring book to help children discuss and and understand their feelings.This book can be used in several settings to explore loss and create treatment plans for the minor child.

I have been on a mission for a while now to get rid of all my old chemical-laden nail polishe's and replace them with more eco-friendly and 3-free version's. I fell in love with Priti NYC first because they have a massive range of colours, think every shade you could want and more, the bottles are cute, and because Kim DÁmato, the founder, was one of the first to create non-toxic, eco-friendly nail polish's.
Of course, the non-toxic nail polish's are double, sometime's triple the price of the regular ones but some believe it is worth it, I do. It just means that I no longer buy nail polish for the hell of it just because they are cheap, which is probably a really good thing because I have a gazillion that i've worn only once.
More and more eco nail polish brands are popping up so it is now even easier to make the switch. The most popluar are brands like Priti, Zoya, OPI, and newer one's like Butter London and Scotch Natural's. But after looking around I found this page, which is a few years old, that list's all the 3- (Formaldehyde, Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP) and Toluene)-free polish brands plus brands that go further and cut out other things like Formaldehyde Resin, Camphor and Ethyl Acetate.
Here is the link: Check Your Ingrediants.
I you're main concern is that your polish's are 3-free then the list is perfect for you, but I am also concerned with company ethics. I like Priti because Kim D'Amato supports organic farmers and the products are all vegan and animal cruelty free. I am not vegan but I do not in any way support using animals as test subjects, I find it appauling, so this brand tick's all the boxes for me. I know some people are concerned that 3-free nail polish's won't last as long and in some case's this is true, the first time I wore Priti polish it lasted about 5 days before it chipped but the second time it started chipping after about 1 day. I think it depends on how you apply it and whether or not you use a base/top coat.
Butter London, OPI, Scotch Natural's and Zoya are also vegan and cruelty free. I'm not 100% about the other's but i'm sure you easily find out from google.
As far as getting rid of old nail polish, I usually give them to people who are happy to use them because I know you can't just chuck them in the bin because nail polish is considered hazardous and should be recycled the same way other paint item's are. But I recently read another way to get rid of them, by tipping out all of the unused nail polish onto a piece of newspaper or cardboard, sit it outside till it dries (which, if I'm correct, I think helps all the nastie's to evaporate sort of), then once its dry chuck it in the bin. That way it won't seep into the ground as it would when wet. Obviously it is going to be bad for the environment as it still ends up in landfill, but it is better than nothing. The old bottles can go in the recylce bin once cleaned out which I do by putting some polish remover in the bottle, swishing it around and tipping that out to dry on the paper also.
A few brands have now brought out eco-friendly polish removers too which is great i think, I never could handle the smell of the chemical ones (instant headache). I use the Priti Polish Remover because it doesn't smell bad, almost too sweat if anything, and it absolutely doesn't dry out my nail's and the skin around them. And a glass nail file is always a more eco-friendly option too.
I think you can find OPI and Zoya polish's at most Myer and David Jones stores.

Underneath, we are the same. We all have beating hearts counting our moments on this planet. We all experience intense joy, debilitating despair, paralyzing fear. We are all eternal souls clothed in frail flesh.
Can we see that in one another? Can we look at the person–known or unknown–next to us and see they are the same?
My challenge is for all of us to look deeply in the face of everyone we see today. See them. Really SEE them. Pass beyond their color, age, gender, clothing choices. Look into their eyes. What is reflected there? Do we see their humanity? Do we see they are created in the image of an almighty God who loves them?
Now. Can we show kindness to them because of this? Can we smile? Can we ask them how their day is? Can we pick up and return something they dropped? Can we let them cut us off in traffic without getting angry? Can we show them mercy in a thousand ways because we ourselves have received much mercy?
This is what it means when we say we must overcome evil with love. I don't know who said it, but in the midst of all this tragedy, love must be a verb. It's not a feeling. Love must DO. This is how we change culture. This is how we heal. This is how we thrive.
We MUST esteem (consider) others higher than ourselves. This is the real challenge. Jesus Christ doesn't demand this, but he modeled it for us with raw beauty. He embraced lepers, prostitutes, widows, Pharisees, tax collectors, Gentiles, fishermen, Samaritans, centurions, children, those who believed him, and those who rejected him. Every person he encountered, he loved.
"The Spirit of the LORD God is upon me," he said. "Because the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound…"
Can we who are called by his name do any less?
Be blessed,

Aphrodite giving life to Galatea
This is my newest painting of the goddess Aphrodite giving life to the statue Galatea, Pygmalion's creation and great love. Beeing moved by the artist's feelings for his own creation Aphrodite turned Galatea into a living woman so Pygmalion could marry her. I thing this myth represents me be cause like Pygmalion did I've always been in love with the women I use to draw and paint even if they are just creations of my mind and I wish they were real.
Bucharest dirty street
This is what you can see almost everywhere in Bucharest: dogs free on the streets, rats, bad insects such as flyes and mosquitoes, shit and garbage. Here in Romania when someone tries to get rid of these dirty dogs all the animal rights organisations prevent him for taking the dog from the streets. Here in Romania dogs are protected by law and have more rights than humans. There were people killed by dogs and noone has ever did anything but if someone kills or beats a dog then he is put in prison for this, even if the dog was agresive.

The unit can be horizontally mounted on the ceiling or floor and has adjustable hanging brackets to secure to frame or concrete ceiling
Under any normal conditions no condensate drain is required but we recommend that you install a drain close to the unit to future proof the installation
Insulation of Ductwork
It is important that any ducting located in a cold area (e.g. loft space) to be insulated. The insulation needs to be the equivalent of 25mm thick and have a thermal conductivity of 0.04W/(m.k) or less.
This ensures that condensation doesn't form due to the difference in air temperature inside the duct when compared to the air temperature in the cold space.
If you don't have a loft space there is still a need for insulated ducting on the intake and exhaust legs, as they will be carrying cold air in a warm space. The level of insulation can be achieved by wrapping PVC duct in a layer of 25mm duct wrap that has a silver foil face on a 25mm rockwool
It is also worth noting that foil wrap with air bubbles (bubble wrap) is no longer applicable in building control regulations
In addition to a choice of compatible ducting systems a full range of controls, sensors, in-line silencers, floor/wall/ceiling inlet and outlet diffusers are available to complete the installation.

Ground transportation has seen a rise in limo service provider all around the world and France is not an exception. Therefore, it's not easy for all our partners, clients and future clients to understand our industry: it's getting necessary to open our office & garage, introduce our team & chauffeurs, tell you more about our background, philosophy and tools.
Kingdom Limousines delivers essential services for all types of clientele, including chauffeur driven service customized to each client's needs, meet & greet, concierge service, hotel booking, exotic cars, car storage. We are an independently owned limo service company based in Cannes private airport.
Over the last decade, the company has grown significantly in size and reputation: we own the cars, vans and offer around the clock professional Vip limo service.
Kingdom Limousines, with its experienced team, discretion, high caliber of professionalism and its desire to strive for excellence, is the preferred limousine service provider for private aviation and yachting in Cannes, Monaco, Nice & St-Tropez.
Year after year, our staff regularly attends industry events all around the world to ensure that we are meeting the industry's needs. We are looking to grow business through partnerships with dedicated FBO, yachting broker and by helping them to provide a first class service to their customers. We take great pride in the excellent levels of service we provide to our passengers and partners alike, and believe that customer service is key to our overall growth. It's also important to check how it works elsewhere, what the clients can expect and do some business intelligence.
There are some luxury cars that provoke a slight sense of excitement when your journey begins. Kingdom Limousines owns :
However, behind the wheels, there is always a chauffeur and this is what makes the difference: almost everybody can get the same cars but chauffeur is a real job which involves skills, training, knowledge of the area and English. The drivers have an added value. Some of them speak Russian, Arabic, German, Italian or Portuguese and are very interested in the history: they're not certified guide but can easily display some information about the attractions of the French Riviera. They and we consider themselves as a concierge as they'll be the chosen intermediary of the clients. Customers often ask the driver to book a restaurant, get tickets for a gig, book a table in a nightclub during the Cannes film Festival or any other events. Kingdom Limousines plays an important role in selecting the drivers: our customers demand a bespoke personal service that meet their needs.
Driving into the region requires some local knowledge: know when and where there is traffic, the best shortcut. During the Cannes Lions, Mipim, Cannes Film Festival, Monaco GP or summer, it may be helpful to have a local professional chauffeur to take care of your travels and give you some tips to avoid to be stuck in a predictable traffic. A car with driver is the recommended option for local transport, but make sure the driver is local. During some events such the Cannes Lions, Cannes film festival or Monaco GP, it's advisable to provide a notice advance notification for catering your needs.
Upon your arrival at the airport, the driver will welcome you at your FBO for the private jets or after the customs exit area for the commercial flights with a sign under your name on it. Once in the car, water bottle, wipes, newspapers are displayed and free of charge: an internet connection is available on request. The drivers listen to you, so they understand exactly what you like, then can craft a trip around your personal preferences, whether it's getting away from the crowds or finding you a luxury beach villa, so you can relax in style. Kingdom Limousines has been offering bespoke VIP services for its corporate and leisure clients in the French Riviera: it can be an airport transfer or a car service at disposal. You can keep the car with driver as long as you need it.
Behind the scene, there is a team that the passenger will never meet but who is the spinal column: the dispatchers. A
Schedulers make an important part of our job: efficiency and reliability are necessary to provide quality and keep the clients. They must monitor the flights; check the drivers, the traffic, the clients who want to keep the chauffeurs in the last minute for their whole stay and re organize the schedule. They usually have a good working knowledge, know the traffic time and can evaluate each trip. Dispatch's tasks are not easy as they need to consider all the aspects for each traveler: flying by private jet or commercial aircraft is different, warning the clients about our vehicles luggage capacity is also very important as the trunks haven't got the same size in all the countries. We only work with Mercedes, Range Rover and Rolls Royce while in others countries some corporate clients often use Lincoln or SUV such as Suburban or navigator with a bigger trunk.
Dispatchers need to handle multiple tasks and some of them with a very high priority: some clients call in a last minute, a driver can have a flat tire and sometimes the run flat tire can be not so effective. That's why, we try as much as we can to increase the backup options: having an extra car available, having a head start with more tires in stock or sometimes just a puncture sealant spray.
Teamwork is the main feature for success. We can say that we have people thinking out of the box, flexible and tactful. One day, we had a client going to the AmfAR party in the Eden Roc hotel Cap d 'Antibes. The client went to the hotel by boat and asks the driver to join him at the hotel directly, however without the invitation card, there is no way to have an access and obviously the client was inside the hotel with the famous pass. The assistant called us and said "no matter what it costs, you must get it". In the other hand, another client was already inside the party and called us saying "my wife needs to change its earrings and necklace, please stop by my house to pick it up and call me once you're on site, I'll ask the security to let you go through. Thus, we manage to give the jewels on time and take the advantage to call the concierge to make the pass ready in order to pick it up in the same time and give it to the chauffeur. We finally manage to kill two birds with one stone. Both clients and assistant were happy and you know what, we charged nothing for that but the clients still trust us since more than 10 years now… probably the best reward for our team.
It can be logical for us but we manage our dispatch ourselves and haven't tried the outsourcing for these jobs: we don't use a company for example to handle the night shift as we think using an external provider won't meet our expectations. We truly think it's easier to manage the short notice. Obviously, it's more expensive but the communication between the staff is easier and increases the tailor-made service: our staff has a better understanding and appreciation of each client. Keeping the information inside our building helps to control the quality of our service.
The background is not so much important to work as a dispatcher; however it requires some skills as patience, diplomacy, logic, geographic knowledge and analytical skills. They must speak English and more. We have dispatcher speaking Russian and Arabic for example. It's also important to give them the tools to work efficiently such as: vehicles tracking, software speeding up the communication. Drivers use an application on their mobile which enable us to know if they're on their way, if the passengers are on board or if the service is done. Then, we can immediately inform the clients about the costs or extra involved. Needless to say that a paper back-up copy is always available.
By working with Kingdom Limousines, you know there will be excellent cars, drivers, speedy response and a feeling that you are in a safe hands. It's all about customer service. "Being locally owned and managed, our approach to the service is different".

If either one of us fails to comply with the following rules, 7 points are automatically deducted from the rule-breaker.
1. BoP is shared.
2. No plagiarism; Don't copy someone else's work and claim it as your own.
3. You may only troll when things get completely out of hand.
Children aren't obliged to attend school. That's on them. What do they prefer; Be educated: May be be homeschooled? Or not be educated at all? There isn't any other decision.
If you are employed, you are working FOR SOMEONE, while if you attend school, although you aren't obliged to do both, education is for YOU! Your knowledge can be useful to real-life situations.
"I believe if children are payed to pay attention in school they won't learn as much as they are capable of."
If we pay children for attending school/paying attention: We can determine whether someone does so by testing them. So, if, say, they receive a very high grade, they will be payed. So, if they are payed from that, they will try desperately to memorize what their teacher is trying to teach them (If they love money so much).
However, from that, it won't be sincere; When a test about it is over, they may forget, seeing as their intent for memorizing was being payed, seeing as they can determine whether or not you pay attention by receiving a grade. It won't make much of a difference at all.
I won't make direct quotes for the rest; My opponent is actually defending MY position.
I await my opponent's next set of arguments.

Our heroes cry out, "Do you know who I am?" — and but for a bit of bronze or lead or a pencil-scrawled name on a slip of paper, we might.
Twice during the Civil War did Union infantrymen charged Marye's Heights on the western edge of Fredericksburg. Only once did the Yankees (including the 6th Maine Infantry) successfully carry the heights.
Union troops suffered horrific casualties in the Dec. 13, 1862 assault, fewer losses in the wild melee that took the 6th Maine boys and their friends from the 5th Wisconsin over the Stone Wall and up the heights on May 3, 1863.
The war ended two years later, and civilian life returned to Fredericksburg. But 15,243 Union lads never left; slain by battle, disease, or accident from 1862 to at least mid-1864, they lie forever atop Marye's Heights in the Fredericksburg National Cemetery.
The grave diggers hired to re-inter Union soldiers at the cemetery after the war could only identify 2,473 men. The other 12,770 headstones are inscribed "UNKNOWN."
Here and at other national cemeteries adjacent to Civil War battlefields, tens upon thousands more unidentified heroes lie in similarly marked graves. The bodies bore no identifying marks or material when transferred from battlefield graves to the new national cemeteries after the war.
But for a bit of bronze or lead or a pencil-scrawled name on a slip of paper, we might know them.
The War Department issued no "dog tags" back then, so a soldier wanting to ensure his pre-burial identify before a battle relied on his own devices.
Perhaps, as survivors noticed before the suicidal Union charges at Cold Harbor on June 3, 1864, men wrote their names on paper slips then pinned to the soldiers' uniforms or thrust into buttoned pockets. Perhaps a soldier etched his name with a bayonet or a pen knife on the inside of his belt buckle.
Some soldiers acquired their own dog tags at their own expense (the term "dog tags" was not known then). Over the years, Paul Zebiak, the owner of Maritime International at 93 Central Street in Bangor (http://www.mainecollectibles.com/) has acquired different metallic ID discs of Civil War soldiers.
While Paul has some belonging to Maine soldiers, soldiers from New Hampshire proportionally bought a lot more similar dog tags. "The sutlers cornered the market" with Granite State boys, Paul says.
Let's look at a few examples of Maine-based dog tags in Paul's possession.
Folsom Dutton, a black-eyed and dark-complexioned 19-year-old from Stillwater, enlisted in Co. H of the 7th Maine Infantry Regiment on August 21, 1861. A 5-11 farmer with dark hair, he may have had black Irish ancestry — or perhaps even American Indian.
Dutton served with the 7th Maine '61 and '62, with the latter year seeing the regiment fighting on the Peninsula and taking an absolute drubbing at Antietam. According to his microfilm Soldier's File at the Maine State Archives in Augusta, Folsom transferred to Co. C somewhere along the way.
Before doing so, however, he visited a sutler and purchased an identity disc, similar in function to 20th-century soldiers' dog tags. The sutler used a special machine to stamp Folsom's first initial and last name on a bronze disc about the size of a modern quarter. Beneath the name the sutler added "CO. H[,] 7th REG.[,] ME. VOL.[,] STILLWATER."
"The reverse of Dutton's dog tag features an eagle in the center, with the inscription 'War of 1861' above the eagle and 'United States' appearing below," Paul says.
J. (John) Parmeter of Albion purchased a similar identity disc stamped with his first initial and surname and "CO. F[,] 7th REG.[,] ME. VOL.[,] ALBION." The back of this disc bore an American eagle and the phrases "WAR OF 1812" AND "UNITED STATES."
Punched in each disc was a hole through which Folsom or Parmeter could thread a string so the soldier could wear the disc around his neck.
According to Zebiak, these types of discs were "basically made of brass or tombac," a brass alloy "that was a durable metal that didn't corrode in the field."
Eli Bickmore of Co. I, 20th Maine Infantry, wore a metal pin shaped like the Maltese-cross badge of V Corps, to which the regiment was attached. After closely examining the small ID pin, Paul says that it was likely cut from an 1831 American half dollar.
On the back side, Bickmore attached a pin common to wartime usage, Paul notes. Inscribed on the pin's front are Bickmore's initials, state, regiment, and company.
Paul does not know how the ID discs of Bickmore, Dutton, and Parmeter survived the war. Dutton went missing from the 7th Maine at Gettysburg on July 7, 1863. His designation was later changed to "deserted," and Paul wonders if Folsom lies among the Maine "unknowns" buried in the Gettysburg National Cemetery.
Perhaps one of these three ID discs was a duplicate. "The guys would make one and send it home to the folks as a souvenir," then make similar discs for themselves, Paul says.
Ironically for one Maine soldier, "a message in a bottle" sufficed to ID him.
Writing at his excellent Civil War website (https://john-banks.blogspot.com), historian John Banks tells the story of William C. Stickney of Springfield and Co. C, 7th Maine. Shot in his left shoulder during the Battle of Antietam, Stickney died of his wound in an Army hospital on September 26, 1862 and went into a Maryland grave.
Exhumed after the war, Stickney was identified because "a bottle was found (buried with him) containing a small piece of paper" that bore Stickney's name, regiment, hometown, and time and date of death, Banks writes.
"Whoever performed the noble act of identifying his body with the message in a bottle is lost to history," he notes.
Relocated to the Antietam National Cemetery in Sharpsburg, Md., Stickney received an official headstone bearing his name and unit.
Except for that message in the bottle, Stickney would lie among the "Unknowns."
If you enjoy reading the adventures of Mainers caught up in the Civil War, be sure to like Maine at War on Facebook and get a copy of the new Maine at War Volume 1: Bladensburg to Sharpsburg, available online at Amazon and all major book retailers, including Books-A-Million and Barnes & Noble. —————————————————————————————————————–

America relies on itself
America's invisible caste system
Study after study from national research groups including those at the Brookings Institute have found that most Americans will stay put in the same social class as their parents. There is little mobility between generations, especially compared to other similarly wealthy countries. Certainly, accumulating more wealth than our family is a difficult task with many obstacles, but it seems there are more obstacles in the US. For example, over 40% of men born in the bottom fifth income bracket will stay there. Compare this to 30% in Denmark and the UK. Thank goodness we got rid of that rigid British class system!
Part of this is, because we all share a deep belief that people are responsible for their own destinies. The tendency to think that qualities about the person, like intelligence, diligence, or perseverance determine wealth is one example of a preference for internal attributions. Internal attribution place the locus of control for a situation on the person. By contrast, external attributions place the locus on external factors – being born into a wealthy vs. poor family, being fired when your struggling company downsizes, falling ill, losing a family member or needing to care for one who is ailing, or any number of things that I call just pure bad luck. While we might not be sure, I bet we each have a gut feeling about what leads someone to be poor or rich.
Additionally, past research shows that even when the source of responsibility is explicitly internal, liberals are more likely to help victims than conservatives. For instance, liberals are more likely to support assistance for job training to people who lost their jobs due to poor performance and subsidized medical care for people who contact HIV through unsafe sex practices (Skitka & Tetlock, 1993).
However, another study suggests that liberals have to override their initial tendency to leave these personally responsible victims to fend for themselves (Skitka et al., 2002). The study showed again that, compared to conservatives, liberals demonstrate more willingness to help HIV patients who contracted their disease after engaging in unsafe sex while knowing about the risk of infection. However, this difference was extinguished, when liberals had to devote cognitive resources somewhere else - to an experimental task of listening to tones. It seems that liberals need to have their full cognitive faculties in order to reassess their initial reactions to people in need.
One takeaway here is that internal attributions come naturally to our individualistic meritocratic populace. There is something about us that makes us believe that people get what they deserve (another topic, for another post. However, there is something about some portion of Americans that has resulted in habitual reappraisal and adjustment of these views.

With the Littlest Who
In Horton Hears a Who, the tiny Whos reminds us that the Lord can make small things become great.
When Horton the elephant finds an entire world on a speck of dust, he wants to find a safe place for the speck and its tiny residents. However, he is quickly ridiculed by his friends who don't believe the tiny Whos on the speck actually exist. In order to save their home and prove that their elephant protector is not crazy, all of the Whos make as much noise as they can, but it is not until the littlest Who yells "Yopp!" that the other animals hear them and believe Horton:
"And that Yopp… That one small extra Yopp put it over! Finally, at last! From that speck on that clover their voices were heard! They rang out clear and clean. And the elephant smiled.
"Do you see what I mean?... They've proved they ARE persons, not matter how small. And their whole world was saved by the Smallest of ALL!"
Horton's observations sound remarkably similar to a scripture in Alma 37: 6-7.
"Now ye may suppose that this is foolishness in me; but behold I say unto you, that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass; and small means in many instances doth confound the wise.
"And the Lord God doth work by means to bring about his great and eternal purposes; and by very small means the Lord doth confound the wise and bringeth about the salvation of many souls."
The Lord knows each one of us and He hears us, no matter how small and unrecognized we feel. He knows our individual potential, and if we are humble and willing, He can use us to bless His children and change lives, just like the littlest Who.

Always loved MC. The Airwalk pic is great. Remember the Venture add where he's doing a Japan Air on an Miniramp and the add said:"Put the fun back into skateboarding"? That was so true back then (mid 90's, I think) and I think MC still brings back the fun with pics like that Airwalk.

I'd gladly donate my ankles to MC if he could knock out a full part for each one. Dudes ankles are cursed. Best style and no slack anything in his career. MC!

Still one of the most anticipated video parts for the upcoming Girl / Chocolate vid.
Switch f/s flip at Embarcadero, was that from Big Brother #1 ?

Love the nollie varial flip lakai sequence, but still can't believe how jocked out and lame late 90's early 00's skate shoes were. that shoe in the ad looks fucking horrible!! MC is my all time favorite and hope he comes through for the new vid.

I can't say enough good things about this post. One of, if not my all time favorite. That back smith is photo is classic, rockin the Chocolate cargo pants. Carroll can make any trick look good, like his front salad in FF, and makes stylish tricks all the more stylish.

All time.
One of the craziest things is his parts get so overlooked in the Girl vids nowadays because they are so heavy on talent.
I think both his Yeah Right! and Fully Flared parts were overlooked(if that's possible). Plus, he always chooses good songs. His parts in Finally and Questionable always stoke me out.

Ollie over the bar into a swastika bank. Nuts!
Agree... Airwalk sole kick into the lens is nice.
nollie flip varial over the rail. come on!
Carroll's been skating at such a high level for so long. Legendary status. I wonder how much his macaroni and cheese h-street board is worth these days?
I like that bs tail slide article. Classic posture by Kenny, Rickk and Carroll. Square upper body is key.
bs smith is so pointed down. great technique.

Update my wedding date
Keep your profile wedding date
We will pass this information to Love Tipis so they can respond. Hitched will create an account for you to view your suppliers in a list and create a free wedding plan.
By entering your details, you are agreeing to the Hitched Privacy Policy. You can unsubscribe at any time.
A tipi provides a unique and quirky setting for your special day and Love Tipis provide some of the best in the business. Easily customisable, the tipi sides can be lowered or raised to create a venue of the perfect size for you.
Each tipi roughly has the capacity for 100 guests for a party and 70 for a sit-down meal with the sides closed. As well as the tipis themselves, Love Tipis can also provide packages including lighting, fittings, furniture and firepits to complete your venue. Whether you're after shabby chic or sleek and sophisticated, Love Tipis will be able to provide the perfect package for you.
Love Tipis would be delighted to provide the perfect venue for your special day, get in contact to discuss the options.
We chose Love Tipis for our wedding in April 2019. One of the best decisions we made for the entire event was to work with Sophie, Phillipa and Stuart at Love Tipis. Firstly they are extremely responsive to emails and phone calls which if you have ever planned a wedding you will know is the most important thing imaginable. You always felt like they had your best interest at heart and really cared about the event. Every member of the team was a pleasure to work with.
The TIPI itself was incredible and Stuart and co put it up without any fuss and exactly in the layout we wanted. They even provided advice on how best to set things up to make the most of the space on the day. They handled toilets and generators at a reasonable price, a real non stop shop for the perfect wedding. Little touches like the stage, dance floor and chill out furniture added to the atmosphere not to mention the indoor fire pit. The wow factor of the final layout was worth, the look on the guests faces when they saw the beautiful setup plus the photos of the sunset behind the Tipi made this worth every single penny.
I cannot recommend Love Tipis enough what a unique and personal way to hold the wedding of your dreams.
Love Tipis were great to deal with. Friendly, professional and reliable. Everyone commented on how magical the tipis looked. I would definitely recommend them to friends
Giant Hat, Cirrus and Nimbus Tipis, Stretch Tents and all kinds of furnishings, flooring and lighting to complete your event. We can even help with toilets and generators.
Large and Medium Tipis and Stretch Tents, round and rustic tables, matching chairs and benches, flooring, lighting, firepits, bars, disco balls, dancefloors and chillout furniture.
Venue assessment, Tipi advice, floorplans, insider knowledge on furnishings, tipi delivery, erection and take down.
As soon as you would like a quote! We have some late availability, but generally couples book one year in advance.
No, but we have images on our website, Facebook and Instagram, and we try our best for potential clients to view set builds wherever possible. Just ask!
Yes, our office staff are fully experienced in the Tipi world, and we have worked on all kinds of builds from six tipis through to small spaces.
We take 25% at time of booking. We accept card payment or BACS. We are also able to adjust your order up until 30 days before the event, when the final payment is due.
Getting hitched in a Tipi is dreamy! With the sides down, it is as cosy and water tight as any other structure.
Giant Hat Tipis are 10.3m in diameter and hold approximately 70 seated guests- if you would like something larger, all our Tipis can be seamlessly linked making much larger structures.
Stretch tents are either 10m x 7.5 m or 10m x 15m, accommodating approximately 50-100 seated guests. Again they can be linked should you require more space.
It typically takes a full day to set-up for a wedding. Stretch tents can be set-up in a matter of hours, so we generally book in for the build two days prior to the wedding date which gives you time to dress your event.
Yup! We hire our Tipis out all year round. They are particularly robust as they come from Norway, and can be extremely cosy in the winter months, with the addition of a fire pit.

I'm going to experiment with something I don't see anywhere else, in the blogosphere or otherwise. Each week (in addition to my other posts) I will post a new "word (or phrase) of the week" for discussion. I'd like to hear how others define these words and phrases.
In an increasingly religiously plural nation, what one person of faith means by a certain word may be very different than what another person means. Even if we are all speaking the same language (also not always the case), communication lies in our ability to translate meaning.
Although we will certainly disagree with one another, my hope is that we take this as an opportunity to ask questions and learn someone else's perspective, and that we not engage in a rabid debate with the goal of converting others to our point of view. A mature, well-thought-out definition will be more persuasive that an emotional and confrontational argument.
This week's word is revelation.
My definition of revelation is the realization, construction, or disclosure of new knowledge and truth. Revelation may be created, realized, or imparted, but is continuous and never sealed. I believe revelation comes from many sources. This is certainly true in every other field of human thought, and so it follows that religious thought should be no exception.
Let us know what you mean when you think of revelation…..

Other Issues
Florida's Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act reduces disputes between states when child-related issues may be brought in more than one state. The proper state is determined by evaluating:
- Where the Order was originally entered, or
- Where the child or the child's family has the most significant contacts.
Each determination is factually specific. Consult with your attorney to determine which state is the proper state for your actions. Each state may need to exchange information or have multi-state hearings to determine or enforce orders.
The Hague Convention determines the means to request the return of a child who has been removed from the United States. If the country is a member of the Hague Convention, a central agency will assist in the return of the child to the United States.
Parents may apply to member countries provided:
- The parent seeking the return of the child had custody, either by practice or the actions of the parents
- The child is under 16 years old and a resident of the United States
- At the time the child was removed from the United States, the petitioning parent seeking return of the child was exercising custodial rights.
- Member countries have limited defenses to the application for the return of the child:
- If the petitioning parent knew where the child was located but failed to seek the return of the child for more than one year; or
- The petitioning parent was voluntarily exercising custodial rights; or
- If the return of the child would place the child in emotional or physical danger.
- It is the burden of the abducting parent to prove the asserted defense.
A custodial parent requires court approval or the other spouse's written consent to move a child more than 50 miles from his or her current locale. If the other parent is attempting to relocate, contact an attorney immediately to obtain an order preventing the removal of the child until a hearing can be held to determine if the child can relocate.
If you are seeking to relocate with your child a distance of 50 miles or more, you must provide written notice to the other parent of your intentions to relocate and provide the other parent an opportunity to object to the relocation. Contact an attorney to ensure you have complied with the statutory requirements for notification requirements. If the other parent objects, a court order must be issued before the child will be permitted to relocate.
Putative Father Registry – An unmarried man must register with the Putative Father Registry if he seeks to assert paternity. Unmarried men are not required to register and presumed to be the biological father if:
- They were married to the mother at the time of the child's birth; or
- The mother was not married at the time of the birth and the man acknowledged paternity at the hospital at the time of the child's birth; or
- The mother was not married at the time of the birth and the man acknowledged paternity after the child's birth by filing the Consenting Affidavit Acknowledging Paternity (Form DH 432) with the Office of Vital Statistics; or
- An order of paternity was issued by the court.
- All information provided to the Putative Father Registry is confidential and only released to:
- An adoption agency is searching for fathers in anticipation of the adoption of the minor child; or
- The registering unmarried biological father; or
- The court, by court order.
Establishing Paternity – Paternity must be established to ensure the parent child relationship is legally recognized. Unmarried fathers do not have rights to custody, parenting contact, parenting decisions or the rights to prevent relocation of the child without an order of paternity. Mothers require an order of paternity to establish child support obligations. If the father has any questions about paternity, the issue must be immediately raised and DNA testing requested as paternity orders, once established, may be impossible to set aside.

Signing up with a drug rehabilitation is perhaps the best thing you'll do. Live right and sign up, consequently leaving behind the inmost darkest times of your entire life. Drugs aren't worth the effort. You can improve with a treatment and care, which you'll get after joining a drug rehabilitation center. Do not put it off – pick the proper way, today.

So, I believe it's so essential that we have this dual method. And you're going to stand on me in 10 minutes, aren't you? What does it cost? more time have I got? Half a minute? Thank you, sir. Yes. So, it's rather unfortunate, these problems that went into the Daily Telegraph, this false information that was fed into the mouth of David Attenborough. We can concern that later on, if we wish. And I think I've stated the main points I wanted.
You are going to have to have them when you enter these places anyways, so do it now while you can make your very own decisions. Most likely in a lot of tough core medical centers and large city health centers, you will be handed those documents to be completed– the health proxies. You are one action ahead of their video game if you have them prior to you ever go there.
Private Inpatient Drug Rehab
Well, you might pop a few aspirin or ibuprofen throughout a few days. However these medications can irritate your stomach and trigger other problems over the long term. Plus, the relief is short lived and you may need to take more than the suggested dose. You do not have to visit a inpatient rehabilitation centers. You simply require yoga motivated exercises to take the pain away.
The life I live I NOW live by the Faith OF. God. It remains in fact His Faith IN me, and I NOW see Him alive IN me to where I not see any separation between us.
Yeah, all right, it's more complicated than that, you say. But you know exactly what? I would wager that a quite high percentage of individuals taking drugs for one thing or another haven't really tried those other solutions. Is it going to take drug detox, inpatient drug rehab or a see to the ER to encourage people that it might be a smart idea to try an alternative to drugs?

And here we are now simply weeks after her 4th rehabilitation stint and Lindsay has as soon as again failed numerous drug tests and remains in offense of her parole. Various reports have actually come out that reveal her partying ways. She has actually shown over and over once again that she can not be trusted. Send out Lindsay Lohan back to prison and make her take responsibility for her actions.

Sex was essential to the Puritan's notion of a healthy marriage. Refusal to engage in sexual relations with one's spouse could lead to a disciplinary hearing at the local church or judicial prosecution. James Mattock was excommunicated by the
congregation in 1640 for having, among other things, "denied conjugal
fellowship unto his wife for the space of two years together." John Williams of
Plymouth Colony was summoned to court for "refusing to perform marriage duty
towards (his wife) according to the law of God and man." Boston
The Puritans believed that both sexes should experience "delight" during sexual intercourse. According to the medical and marital advice literature of the time, procreation could not occur without female orgasm, which required that the woman become sexually aroused. A popular marital guide of the time admonished men that, "When the husband cometh into the wife's chamber he must entertain her with all kind of dalliance, wanton behavior, and allurements to venery."
New England courts upheld the view
that women had a right to expect "content and satisfaction" in bed; he who
failed to provide it was judged "deficient in performing the duty of a
husband." Colonial Americans generally wore their shirts and shifts or
more during sex. Full nudity was uncommon until much after the colonial period.
England, where the Puritans had defined marriage as a civil
contract, secular law had provided for divorce as early as the seventeenth
century. Marriages could be ended if
either party failed to meet the obligations of the contract. Adultery, impotence, desertion, or conviction
for serious crimes were all grounds for divorce. Additionally, wives could obtain a divorce on
the grounds of non-support.
Male inability to provide sexual satisfaction initially constituted grounds for divorce in
New England. 's divorce statute described marital sex as "due
benevolence." It allowed a wife to divorce her husband if he proved unable "to
perform or afford the same," regardless of whether she was "fit to bear
children." A man who proved incapable of providing "that corporal communion
which is reciprocally due between husband and wife" was considered nothing more
than a "pretended husband." Abstention from marital sex, wrote Edward Taylor,
"denies all relief in wedlock unto human necessity" and would tempt those who
lacked "the gift of continency" to engage in illicit unions. Conjugal
intercourse, then, constituted a bulwark against sexual sin and chaos. New

So good news and bad news.
Good news: I'm not working on a contract anymore. Yaaaaay, full time employment with benefits and all that nonsense.
Bad news: For the past month, I've had pretty much no time to make more than a cursory glance of OOC stuff on the site. I don't see this changing in the near future. This isn't because I'm on the company's dime now (they still pay me hourly, so they'll value my time like I do), this is just because there's a lot of work to do on my project.
So anyway, I'll be back when I get a chance. I'm hoping Thanksgiving and Christmas will force more of a lull to occur and I can get back to having fun with you guys. PM me anything critical, I get an e-mail alert and I'll see it.

LOS ANGELES, CA -- Just days before President Donald Trump was sworn-in as the commander in chief, 5,000 people were sworn-in as U.S. citizens at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
The new citizens represented more than 120 countries. For many, it was a long time coming and for others, it couldn't happen soon enough.
"I just wanted to make sure that I would get my citizenship before Trump became the president," Ammar Al-Masri said on Wednesday. "To put my hand here and feel it and to be so proud, it happened today."
WATCH: Protesters Clash With Police In downtown Washington, D.C.
"I felt tears well up in my eyes. It's just really special and I feel it's just a really great privilege to become a citizen," Mary Charlotte Nelson shared.
A staple of Trump's campaign centered around immigration reform and many immigrants in the U.S. expressed fear of mass deportations.
Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck stated back in November
