Following last week's Part 1, which covered the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador and Chile, XXL owner Mark Ames recounts the final part of his travels, which takes him from Antarctica to the Amazon via the Falklands and Rio de Janeiro.
Words can't describe Antartica. It's not for the fainthearted. We have seen both life and death in this majestic wilderness. From a pod of eight killer whales hunting down and ripping apart a minke whale in Paradise Bay, to leopard seals, fur seals and elephant seals all having their fair share of penguins for breakfast, dinner and tea. There is an eerie silence here with great roars of glaciers falling into the sea – it was a humbling experience.
We went on shore to visit a penguin colony and this lovely old lady called Mary was walking along asking if anyone had dropped a glove. I pointed out that it wasn't a glove she had picked up but the remains of a penguin. I think it might have been the first penguin that flew as she chucked it into the air and ran!
On a serious note global warming is having a devastating impact here. Ice fields are retreating and there's not enough space for the seals to have their pups and look after them safely. Consequently the pups do not have enough time to reach maturity before the ice breaks up and they drown.
Krill thrives under the ice sheets, but with the depletion of the ice sheets there's less krill for penguins and whales to live on. Antarctica may be one of the furthest places away from man but it is where you will see firsthand the effects modern day living is having on our planet – the whole chain is being broken. As much as this place inspires it depresses too, for its future is ours.
In the Falklands, we paid our respects to all that were lost and politicians' failures to prevent it. Later, a highlight of Buenos Aires was the city tour. The city is beautiful and earns its name as the Paris of South America – the architecture and city parks are breathtaking. And we finished a two-night stay with the most amazing tango show at the Faena Hotel. We've made a great group of friends of Dorothy from the ship and we all went to experience this show by recommendation of the captain. Filled with drama and sexuality, it was fantastic. Visiting Montevideo and Punta del Este was like going back in time to the 1950s – full of old world charm. And then onto Rio where we were so lucky; we sailed into Rio at 5.30am while the sun was breaking and it lit up the mountains beautifully, and it reminded us of San Francisco and Lisbon fused together. Sugarloaf mountain and Christ the Redeemer are the best places to take in this amazing city, although the friends of Dorothy group decided we would hire a helicopter and do a 20-minute flight round Rio. We finished off with lunch and cocktails at the Copacabana Palace hotel, all the while showing off my Gucci floral tops to full effect!
One thing we need to point out with Brazil is the poverty – the favelas, or low-income urban areas, are sprawling. People are begging yet churches and cathedrals are in abundance. Beautiful architecture juxtaposed with starving people makes for a very sobering experience and really makes you question the role of religion in today's society.
Salvador was a perfect example of this: it offers amazing architecture but the city is crumbling. We were told that 80% of the money generated in Brazil goes to Europe, the USA and Asia, so very little of it goes to inward investment.
Also, Brazil's Olympic Village is a travesty – it is literally in ruins and decaying only seven months since the closing ceremony. No wonder its people were up in arms about the amount of money being spent on it when you see the state of the nation. Brazil's LBGT community experienced a downside while we were there too, when a transgender woman was filmed as she was horrifically beaten and murdered, and no one helped her as she begged for mercy. To us it appeared that the nation cares little for humans and has little time or no concern for wildlife or how its industry and growth effects all that surrounds them. It was such a sad part to what was an amazing trip.
In the Amazon we came expecting wildlife and wonder but left seeing a lack of it, except for birds and bugs. It's here, but it shies from man, and wisely so! It's not fair to blame the Brazilians for this, however; this is a worldwide travesty. Industry of every nature is pillaging both the water and the land of its riches, and polluting it with their wastes. In short it's a disaster.
At last, in Machu Picchu, life and flora abounds, as does our souls and spirituality. This is an overwhelming and wondrous place that humbles and restores my belief that nature claims back what we foolish humans regard as ours. My money is on Mother Nature, not the human race. We need to learn to respect her and live in harmony with her. That's where we will find true happiness.

Holiday Gift Alert! Music Review: The Beatles - The Beatles (aka The White Album) . Beatles Radio: The Beatles, Solos, Covers, Birthdays, News The Fab 4 and More!
Most Beatles fans have played the game before, possibly many times: what would you trim from The Beatles' 1968 double album (aka the 'White Album') in order to make it a more compact, single album? Producer George Martin was very vocal in the decades after The Beatles was released in his strong belief that, had what he perceived as the weaker cuts been omitted, the album could've been a masterpiece. That's not to say a great many people don't consider it just that in its released form, but the late Sir George deemed it less than the sum of its parts.
Of course the fascinating part of taking the "single-disc version of the White Album challenge" comes from fans' seeming inability to ever agree on what the definite lineup would be. (I'll indulge by offering my own personal tracklist at the end of this review.) The monumentally important news for Beatles people is that this holiday season, fans can not only argue about which 'White Album' tracks are the most vital, but which of the famous "Esher Demos" and studio outtakes are indispensable. Universal Music Enterprises has just followed up last year's super-deluxe Sgt. Pepper's box set with a 50th anniversary reissue of The Beatles.

Q: Hammer.js call function after hold event finished I'm using Hammer.js in my app, and would like to know how to call a function once the 'Hold' event is finished.
What the best approach to do this?
Hammer(element).on("hold", function() {

});

A: There is a "release" event that you can attach to the element (https://github.com/EightMedia/hammer.js/wiki/Getting-Started, under the section "Gesture Events").  So, you could have something like:
var hammertime = Hammer(element).on("hold", function() {
    console.log("hammer time!");
});

var hammerstop = Hammer(element).on("release", function() {
    console.log("stop!");
});

This steampunk cuff watch is a must-have accessory for every scientist and adventurer, it will tell the time, while reminding you how precious it is. Time flies, but every moment is beautiful and should be cherished. This is not just a women's steampunk watch, its size and theme makes it suitable for the gentlemen as well. It features brass and silver plated brass components, Swarovski crystals and pearl, and one working Quartz watch head. The watch itself is water resistant, but not waterproof. It will stand a few drops of water but you shouldn't go diving in it ;) The battery of the watch can easily be changed in the future by just pulling the watch face open and exposing the battery as shown in the last photo. Its back side is safely riveted on the cuff.
This asymmetric cuff measures 5.5cm (2 inches) tall at its widest point. It's a relatively large cuff. It is meant to be worn on your left wrist, as one of its sides is wider in order to slide over your left arm.
All components are nickel and lead free.
I first created this design back in 2008 as you can see here.
Many have tried to copy it, but you can only get the original here!
"Beautiful piece shipped quickly and bang on time for my wifes birthday thankyou"
"really different and imaginative design....love it, arrived in good time"
"Beautiful piece of work, even the box it was shipped it was awesome looking."
"Wonderfull work full of details, exactly as expected! Vicky you simply rock!" "It's gorgeous, wow! Arrived perfectly on time. So many compliments on this!! Keeps great time, too."
"Just got my parcel: the cuff looks even better than on the pictures. Its perfect. Thank you so much for this beautiful work of art."


Epic Fail is designed to work as a bookend piece to Critical, where the two pieces are mirrored in such a way to compliment one another when hung. Critical is an homage to everyone who enjoys playing a certain game in their basements. My brother introduced me to the world of Dungeons & Dragons when I was about 10 years old. I have tried my hand at leading sessions with others, but for me, playing one of my brother's campaigns is the most exciting and fun. I am also a very big fan of M.C. Escher's work, and this is also a tribute to him, and his influence on my art.
Epic Fail came about because of a large number of customers that wanted to purchase Critical for their gaming friends. However, many of these people felt that since their friends always rolled so poorly during their gaming sessions, that buying them Critical would simply be a mockery. I asked them, "what I should do for such an instance?" and the overwelling answer was I needed a piece featuring a die with a 1. I replied, wouldn't that also be mocking to your friends? To which they replied, yes, but it will be funny.


Network Ireland Cork Branch and Cork Chamber of Commerce will once again join forces for the annual Women in Leadership Executive Lunch which will take place in Clayton Hotel, Cork on Friday, 12 October from 12pm – 3pm.
Following last year's successful sell-out event, Brid Horan, co-founder of the 30% Club Ireland and former Deputy CEO of ESB has been announced as the keynote speaker for the event. Brid is also current Co-Chair of the recently launched Government initiative Better Balance for Better Business.


After winning the coin toss in overtime, the Patriots never gave Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs' offence a chance. Rex Burkhead capped a drive that featured three third-and-10 conversions with a 2-yard touchdown run to give them a 37-31 victory over the Chiefs.
Tom Brady and the Patriots offence took over with three timeouts remaining.
The Chiefs trailed 14-0 at halftime but, much like their shootout loss in Week 6 at Gillette Stadium, their high-powered offence has come alive out of the break.
Still, the quick-strike drive by the league's highest-scoring offence brought the crowd back into the game, and it put some pressure on Tom Brady and the Patriots to respond.
Brady was 7 of 9 for 64 yards, clinically slicing up the Chiefs' defence.
New England was 3 for 3 on third down, but Michel did most of the work, carrying seven times for 32 yards against what was statistically the worst rush defence in the NFL this season.
Now, it's up to Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the league's highest-scoring offence to provide an answer.
The Rams got one first down before getting stopped on third and 7 from the New Orleans 39. Zuerlein came on and drilled the winning kick dead-centre with room to spare, ending a wild game that included a blown pass interference to stall the Saints in the red zone late in the fourth quarter.
After allowing the Rams to score the last 10 points of the first half, New Orleans' defence quickly forced a punt on Los Angeles' opening possession of the third quarter. After retaking possession, Saints methodically drove 71 yards with a mix of power runs by Mark Ingram and short receptions by Alvin Kamara.
The loss of Hill led to a much bigger role in the offence for Garrett Griffin, who spent most of the season on the practice squad and had only one career catch coming into the game.
New Orleans used a little gamesmanship to sustain the drive after their third third-down failure in the red zone on three possessions to start the game. The first two ended in field goals. This time, they kept the offence on the field and drew the Rams' aggressive front offside for the first down.
The silver lining for Los Angeles is that it trailed by only one TD after its defence held twice inside its 20.


You can't be a Christian very long before you must come to grips with the meaning of faith. And in America that faith will come down to either a naïve faith or a mature one.
Maturity, at least if the brochures are right, is the true hallmark of Christian enlightenment. It's easy to spot someone with a mature faith. They have that knowing, philosophical smile whenever they spot some brand spankin' new believer anxious to be about God's work, that person with a naïve faith that hasn't been around the block a time or two.
The person with a mature faith understands that very few people ever see real results in prayer. That mature person knows that it's one thing to believe something and altogether a different thing to make it happen. Supplementing one's wishes with a little elbow grease never hurt anyone. The mature person of faith knows that backup plans are needed when idealism falls through. Sure, God is ready to say yes to the faithful, but it's smart to hedge one's bets against failure.
When Joe Sixpack loses his job during the recession, the counselor with the mature faith readily advises Joe to immediately find another job, any job. "God can't drive a parked car," the counselor says—with a wink. Because there's always a wink or a reassuring pat on the back when mature faith is involved.
No, the American Christian of mature faith comprehends what the person with the naïve faith doesn't. And his church makes him an elder or a committee supervisor for his discernment. Because we need his common sense wisdom and leadership. We don't want to make the mistakes of blindly following some starry-eyed dreamer with a naïve faith who wants to change the world for Christ.
So we hold up the person of mature faith. He's the model. And his common sense faith is an example for us all.
Except, as I see it, that mature "faith" isn't really faith at all.
You see, it's the person with the naïve faith, the one who believes there stands no impediment to the God of the Universe, who is the real warrior in the Kingdom of Heaven. This is the one who believes that nothing is impossible with God. This is the person who takes God's word at…well, His word. This is the one who sends the devil scurrying back to hell.
Instead, we of "mature" faith like to force God's hand. When we feel we've waited long enough, we build the house, we watch over the city. Because faith in God is nice, but if you're going to build houses and protect cities, nothing beats the sweat of the brow. So leave the waiting in the prayer closet to the naïve, and let's get the real men out there to do the job pronto. And for all our sakes, make sure we have a Plan B.
This is what passes for maturity today.
No, man's common sense is just that, common. It takes a real naïf, a true fool, to think otherwise, to see with uncommon vision, to have God's perspective.
You've got poor, uneducated nobodies in India leading thousands to Christ, laying their hands on the sick and watching them get healed. Meanwhile, you've got hyper-rationalists masquerading as the mature people in the church who raise their objections and quote from their science and philosophy books all the reasons why none of that can be happening.
I argued… I have to know this stuff if I'm ever going to be used in the body. I have to have that sheepskin. I have to be "someone" to reach out, and be okay in the eyes of men. My "maturity" almost killed me.
He keeps speaking the same thing… become nothing so I can be.
All these somebodies… push Him out of the glory of the spotlight… oh if we could only just BELIEVE HIM. PURELY HIM.
Our wisdom is nothing but waste. His wisdom is greater than anything we can wrap our piddly minds around. May we be nothing so HE can be EVERYTHING….
I went back to college after dropping out because it was something I needed to finish. I rationalized why I left and had good spiritual reasons for dropping out that first time.
But in the end, I needed the discipline. So I went back and finished. I can't say that my degree has opened a million doors, but I can also say that I worked hard and got my degree under difficult circumstances. And no one can take that away from me.
I know it was time for me to leave… maybe someday I'll go back… but I too had my reasons… number one it was a school based from the church movement I was formerly a part of (part of your history too, if I remember correctly). I'm not a part of that and I don't agree with the entirety of what they are teaching… I needed to fully shut the door.
I think it is fantastic you did finish, and no… nobody can take that away.
I couldn't help but respond. I am in complete agreement with Dan in the substance of his post. However, your reply seems to imply that scholarly pursuit and study of biblical theology is a waste of time and has no value. At 51 years old I am finally fulfilling a dream of completing my academic career, and I am genuinely convinced that by increasing my understanding of scripture, the original languages, and church history, I will become a better pastor and teacher. All I do I desire to do with excellence (very scriptural). Biblical education should not be viewed as something to replace an active and vibrant faith, and it can become an idol in itself. But so can an immature over-dependence on the "speaking" of the Spirit so one does not even need to bother to read or study God's Word. I spend hours studying and preparing every message I preach, but still admit that I always listen for the voice of God and ask for his anointing while expounding on his Word. (I am, by the way, a solidly Reformed believer with a firm acceptance of the present activity of the Holy Spirit). I certainly want to know HIM, and ONE of the ways (not the only way) that I grow in my relationship with him is by the deep and passionate study of his Word. I feel so strongly that it is a balance and a tension, not a "one or the other" scenario.
Allen, I do ask that you please not read into my words any implications that I have not stated outright. If you knew me, you'd know that I have studied Hebrew, Hermeneutics, reformed theology, have a very good grasp of church history, and current sociological movements within the church. I'm also a spirit filled believer learning to walk in the spirit 24/7 and being fed by a minister with does NOT have a degree, but is one of the most learned men biblically I've come across in a long time. Weekly he stuns me (seriously). Thing is, you can know how to study and apply the word and never gain a sheepskin. I have issues with the church at large and how anymore, going to seminary and getting that diploma is more important than knowing the voice of the Holy Spirit.
Thing is, I want to know the word, but more importantly… I want to know… THE WORD (logos)… Christ.
Dan, your observation on the very common "mature" christian is right on. But I wonder if there can be a polar opposite to the Mature christian whose faith is low that looks like this: A middle aged man, hes been in the church for 20+ years, but never seems to change. Instead he offers up lots of prayers at the church meetings, and sounds very faithful. When he meets people he shares his faith, and when he has a decision in life he aks God to tell him what to do. At stoplights he says "God if the light is still green when I drive under then Ill take that as your will that I should do this".
Is there such thing as being overly naive in faith? Can you do too much "fleecing", as in asking God for something and expecting a sign like Gideon did?
Iv'e seen a certain number of people who go through life doing the same thing regardless of the results and calling it perseverence. Or they do what they want and rationalize, or spiritualize their actions with whatever scripture comes to mind.
I mention this to ask what should a faithful person look like?
I think that if you scratch that middle-aged man you discuss, you'll find that he crawled onto a shelf a long time ago and simply stopped growing.
Anyone who is not growning in their spiritual walk is like a disabled child who is not learning from one day to the next. We should see measurable changes in our understanding of God, Scripture, our Faith, the nature of Grace, and in our relationship with Christ. If we don't see those changes, then there is a problem.
Unfortunately that is the state of most of the Church in America.
There are two causes: The teachers, and the pupils. We can't blame the curriculum, and the Master Teacher is without fault in this.
The person with a mature faith understands that very few people ever see real results in prayer.
I hope you're catching the sarcasm in what you quoted!
And I agree with your last sentence. In most Evangelical circles today, you'll get an hour of advice and two minutes of prayer. That's totally flipped from what it should be. Our self-help society is too quick to advise and far too slow to pray.
Wow! Fantastic message today Dan! Sadly, the Word of Faith teachers IMO were raised up to bring information on true faith to us but most of them got bogged down in too many aberrant theologies as well as having a narrow presentation that was culturally very narrow (in other words, for the rural south, leaving blue state Christians like me utterly confused as to what pig farmer do).
Heaven help the Christians here in the west when those calamities come. I do hope they learn what real faith is. It's simply standing on the Word of God and what was accomplished at the cross with everything you have.
Go here to find out a little more on why most of those calamities will have had nothing to do with us xtians. But I admit it will be tough going trying to understand how trillions of dollars in wealth just suddenly evaporated. But that's how the world actually works.
Yeah. We xtians worked hard, paid our bills, kept up the mortgage, tithed, taught our children, and we still ended up getting screwed.
So there are two points I'd like to make: (1) let's stop blaming ourselves for everything. There's plenty of stuff going on in this world that we have absolutely no say about. (2) Pray for heaven's help because we are going to need miracles more than ever.
And finally, it doesn't matter whom you vote for; the Punishment of America will continue.
If our faith is based on that indebtedness to the world, then it is weak and flabby, untested and unable to withstand a strong breeze, much less the storms of the spiritual war going on around us. Like the smiling man on TV "in debt up to my eyeballs" the fire is coming that will burn away the useless and act as a crucible for the real wealth we've accumulated. Perhaps it's in the feared economic collapse, perhaps it's just a personal disaster. But our faith, in one way or another, will be tested, and I don't want to have to take my faith off a shelf and dust it off when the trial comes.
I'm personally staring square in the face everything you're talking about. I'm finding that way too much of the faith I had stored away in the cookie jar for that stormy day…well, the mice ate it.
I don't know how others are going to spend their "economic stimulus," but I can tell you exactly where mine is going: to pay taxes.
I love the line about "Start your own business" considering that 85 percent of new businesses fail in the first five years—and that's during cash-flush economic times!
Two weeks ago, I was talking to a group of independent business owners and to a man they called January their worst month ever. Ever. And some of these guys have been in business for decades. I will agree with them, too. January was bad and February is proving even worse.
Even though I would like to see people and companies open their collective wallets, David is right: somehow we went from "Strength Through Savings!" to "Strength Through Spending!" While there is little limit to the former, the latter mentality runs into obvious roadblocks pretty darned fast.
Five years ago, I sat in the middle of a church service with more than 2,500 others, and the pastor of that church asked how many people had at least six months salary saved up in case of job loss or other hardship. Less than ten people raised their hands—and my wife and I were two of them. That's astonishing.
It's even more astonishing that we've had a negative savings rate for about three years now. People are spending more money than they are bringing in. Yes, some have made money in the stock market and have cashed in to buy luxuries, but that doesn't change the fact that people are financing their lifestyles by mortgaging their futures.
What kills me is that even though I've been a saver, I'm finding it nearly impossible to save anymore, either. Huge increases in energy costs, taxes, and subsequent cost trickle downs have demanded too much of me. I'm at my wit's end trying to figure out what to do.
He brought Lazarus back from the dead! I think he could, in fact, drive a parked car.
But it does raise an interesting dilemma. How do we mediate between that childlike belief and love and submission to god with a lion-like faith?
Jesus doesn't so much drive the parked car as He loads it onto His car carrier and takes it to the final destination, a destination whose location only He knows. Everyone who is driving on his or her own will become lost—and, sadly, will stay that way forever.
Let me give just a tad of encouragement to all of us as we try to hold on to that naive faith. In the miasma permeating our economy, God still reigns. My husband and I are about to sail off to do whatever it is the Lord has in mind for our ministry. And this is what God just did.
We were looking at depleted savings as we prepared the boat, along with other economic uncertainties that could seriously affect our income. Believing that the time to leave had come, Michael was ready to resign from his job (we called it retiring without a pension), but at the last minute felt a check to wait. Two days later he was called in to the GM's office to find that he was being terminated as of that afternoon. A moment of stillness, then the news came: they were sweetening the pot with a lovely severance package. Enough to keep us solvent while we finish our work here. Enough to pay our medical bills.
How do we face the darkness that's coming? With our heads lifted up, our eyes looking through the clouds to the light beyond. With our lips giving praise. Reminding each other of the Lord's goodness. Remembering what He has done for us and for our forebears in the scriptures. Holding fast. Trusting.
Being as little children whose daddy will always carry us, even if it's through a storm.
I admit that as I was reading the first few paragraphs of this post, I was thinking that Dan was missing the point.
Mature faith like that is nothing I want, I thought.
Then, as I read further, I finally saw his point.
Good post, Dan. I'll be linking it soon.
You are a freelance writer by profession, right? Now, let's be serious. You can lament the soul-crushing nature of the American economy all you want, but "you" must put food on your table. I don't want to sound pedantic or condescending, but the Word of God is clear: "Give us this day our daily bread….But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you" (Matthew 6:11, 33 KJV). The time has come for you to show results. Will you miraculously land more contracts? Will your expenses miraculously go down? Will what you need show up when you need it?
If you believe the Lord has called you to a scaled-back lifestyle so you can spend more time with your family and in the ministry, then you should get what you need, because you are seeking first the kingdom and His righteousness. If you are not getting what you need, then you may need to reconsider what you think the Lord wants you to do.
A friend went to live on the mission field with wife and child through "non-traditional" channels. I encouraged him, but I had a wait-and-see attitude, because my friend always had wild ideas about what he wanted to do with his life. He sent out an email about the decision, and quoted: "…let God be true, but every man a liar" (Romans 3:4 KJV). I believe he quoted this verse to shut us up who had misgivings about his plans. But I should have replied to him: "You also are a man. You may be a liar." He is back from the mission field. He has a regular job now.
Dan, I want you to succeed. I want to be a professional writer, too, so I may want you to succeed even more than some, just so I can be of good courage! "Yes, but…" This is the only "Yes, but…" that I think matters: Yes, you may believe this is God's will for your life, but if "you" cannot support yourself, then is it His will?
It's either true or it's not. I choose to believe it's true.
I realize the answer isn't in me, though it's sometimes hard even for the strongest believers to accept that. I realize it's a battle and that I'm not always strong.
God has healed me instantaneously. He has healed me over years. And He has withheld that healing a few times. Did the times of instantaneous healing indicate that I was closer to God than when He waited seven years or even when He said "No"? Not at all.
You're correct in that sometimes we walk out of His will, listening to our own voice instead of His, and He has to correct us by closing doors. But often He allows us to venture down a certain path because it will ultimately be the best for us. In the times of very straightened circumstances in which I lived, God showed up at the last minute time after time after time, sometimes with bags of groceries, sometimes with meat from someone's broken freezer. When I barely had enough to pay a bill, He would supply the means–though often at the last minute.
So, let's not be quick to assume what He might be doing in someone else's life. Even the fellow who came off the mission field may have needed to go there for a season. Who can say? Not I.
I think your message was a good one… " the Faith that isn't".
I thought this was said in a mean spirit; due to the elder woman wanting the mid age woman to believe the elder woman was of much more faith and highly favored of God.
I kept quiet tho and began to smile. There was a really strong wind that came up quickly and I had opened my window to talk to God. I then said giggling " Lord, the wind is so strong maybe I should stick my head back in and just talk to you inside". Suddenly it hit me… Be still, Be calm, Peace is the Word of the Lord… Be still, Be calm, Peace… for Jesus is the Word. I began to sing this and the wind stopped. I began to talk to the Lord with my head hanging out the window and then began to sing the song again. Once done the wind stirred up again.
Of course I believe those words were of the Lord and I believe the Lord can control the wind just as He put it here. Of course I don't believe He just can't wait to come running to do as I ask or say, nor do I believe I can control what He can or cannot do. And I do not believe the elder woman talking to the mid age woman should have measured her faith and compared it to hers; especially in the manner she did.
Isn't it truly a Heart of Just Believing God; for after-all the Word is of the Lord, because the Word is the Lord/Jesus. Our word must become His Words and it is through His Words which bring Life and such too can be said of our own words which bring death.
Enhancing my education never taught me the Spiritual things of God… it was through and is still through the teaching of the Lord/Holy Ghost/Jesus. Both educated and uneducated desciples who continue in His Word and are being led through and in the Holy Ghost will become Knowledgeable and with patience gain Wisdom and through much more patience gain even more Understanding; always with the Knowledge that our True Wisdom is the Beginning of the Knowledge of the Fear of God. Thus, for those who Fear Him will also Understand that NOT all things will be fully Understood and with this Limitation I have come to Trust in God that which He chooses not to share.
Sure He can move a parked car in the literal sense, yet it seems to be His pattern if someone willingly gets in first… He could have built an ark by Himself too, yet He chose not to.
Jesus never took advantage of His ability in power to do that which was not required by His Father.

Louisiana police officer under fire for saying Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez 'needs a round'
Posted By Brian Poll on July 25, 2019
A Gretna, Louisiana, police officer is under fire after stating in a Facebook post that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) 'needs a round.'
Charlie Rispoli, a 14-year-veteran of the Gretna Police Department in southeast Louisiana, shared the offending post on Thursday.
Rispoli captioned the post — which featured a satirical news article about Ocasio-Cortez — with the disturbing remark.
"This vile idiot needs a round[.] And I don't mean the kind she used to serve," he wrote, alluding to her previous bartender background. Rispoli has since deleted the remark, but copies of it remain on the internet.
The original news article was titled, "Ocasio-Cortez on the Budget: 'We Pay Soldiers Too Much,'" and published by satire website Taters Gonna Tate.
According to NOLA.com, Rispoli's Facebook page was deactivated by Sunday.
What did the police chief say about this?
Gretna Police Chief Arthur Lawson said that he planned to take the officer's post seriously.
"I will tell you this: This will not go unchecked," he said. "I'm not going to take this lightly and this will be dealt with on our end. It's not something we want someone that's affiliated with our department to make you these types of statements. That's not going to happen."
Lawson would not say if he believed the remark to be considered a threat.
"Whether you agree or disagree with the message of these elected officials and how you frustrated you may or may not get, this certainly is not the type of thing that a public servant should be posting," he explained.
The chief added the matter would he handled internally.
The outlet also quoted Rafael Goyeneche, who is president of the watchdog Metropolitan Crime Commission in New Orleans.
Goyeneche condemned the post and said that police officers should not engage in such behaviors.
"The police are held to a higher standard of professionalism," he insisted. "Even if this is not actually advocating somebody shoot someone, it's totally inappropriate for a law enforcement officer to make this poor attempt at humor. All he did was discredit law enforcement in general and his department in particular."
Gretna Mayor Wayne Rau condemned Rispoli's remarks in a Sunday interview.
"I'm pretty appalled by it," Rau said. "I don't think this is a representation of the police department of the City of Gretna."

Erykah Badu Just Shared a Soul Remix to Kanye West's "Real Friends" — and It's Incredible
ByTom Barnes
After too long of an absence, Erykah Badu has returned to music with a serious creative fire in her belly. Last October, she broke the five-year silence since her last studio full-length by remixing Drake's "Hotline Bling" into a new cosmic soul track. She did the same with several telephone-themed hip-hop and soul standards, such as Usher's "You Don't Have to Call" and the Isley Brothers' "Hello, It's Me," on November's But You Cain't Use My Phone.
Now it seems she's making a habit out of taking hot hip-hop songs and showing the boys how to sing with soul. On Tuesday she released her latest track "Trill Friends," a remix of Kanye West's "Real Friends," which West released Friday as part of his Good Music Fridays redux. Her remix, subtitled "Badu Whodini Rough Mix," stays true to the original beat produced by Frank Dukes and Boi 1da, but adds all new laid-back vocal lines. They lope over the hazy beat with all of Badu's unique warbling brilliance.
Source: SoundCloud
It seems Badu threw the track together pretty off-the-cuff. "Badu messin round this mornin (really suppose be recording something else...)," she wrote on her SoundCloud, adding she's presently in the "badudio" with Zach Witness, who helped produce But You Cain't Use My Phone. The pair's new track will apparently appear on a whole new forthcoming mixtape called This $h!t Too Easy.
Badu has shared little other information about the upcoming project. In a recent Reddit Ask Me Anything, she suggested it's not exactly out of a desire for secrecy, but more as a means to keep her work free and open to improvisation. She said she never thinks or plans out collaborations, "but when someone comes along with something in my lane I might hop on," she wrote.
Similarly, she never likes to share her work with others until it's entirely complete.
"I never ask people if they like my work," she wrote on the thread. "It's already done by then. I just wanna know how it makes them feel. What does it inspire them to do. Hopefully if they hate it enough they'll be inspired to protest about it... or do their own."
Depending on when This $h!t Too Easy drops, it will likely be Badu's second mixtape of the year. On Thursday she released a streamable version of her half-hour jazz and experimental hip-hop mix, titled Beats Bees Like for B-Boys and B-Girls. It features music by Sun Ra, Hiatus Kaiyote, Thundercat and Das FX. Stream that via Mixcloud below.

Far West Gold Recoveries
The Crown-Ergo pipeline
Surface recovery
The metallurgical process
Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves
Our business >
A vast footprint
Ergo Mining Proprietary Limited (Ergo) has a vast footprint adjacent to Johannesburg on the central and eastern Witwatersrand of South Africa. Its assets cover an area approximately 62km from east to west and 25km from north to south. This large, single footprint was created as part of a rationalisation process and in order to simplify the structure of DRDGOLD's companies. A single retreatment business also has the effect of improving synergies and saving costs.
The company's flagship metallurgical plant, Ergo, some 50km east of Johannesburg in Brakpan, and the Knights plant in Germiston, together comprise what is arguably the world's largest gold surface tailings retreatment facility. Together with the milling and pump station at Crown Mines and City Deep (both former plants), the new consolidated Ergo treats approximately 1.7Mt per month.
The Ergo footprint
[Zoom in]
History: DRDGOLD acquires Ergo
Ergo1 was re-established in 2007 as Ergo Mining Proprietary Limited – a joint venture between DRDGOLD and Mintails Limited. The primary aim was to recover and treat – over a period of 12 years – some 186Mt of surface tailings contained in the Elsburg tailings complex and the 5L/29 dump. These tailings were estimated to contain some 1.7Moz of gold.
DRDGOLD acquired part of the Mintails stake in 2008, and the remainder in 2010.
Linking the assets
Ergo's assets include access to some 750Mt to 900Mt tonnes of tailings deposited across the western, central and eastern Witwatersrand. Initially, four plants were involved in the retreatment of tailings. Rationalisation and restructuring has resulted in the decommissioning of the Crown and City Deep plants, and their conversion into milling and pump stations.
The Ergo plant – with a 25.2Mt annual capacity – is treating material from a variety of sources, the majority of which is fed to the plant via two feeder lines from the Elsburg tailings complex and the 5L/29 dump. Another 600 000tpm is pumped from
Crown Mines and City Deep via a 50km pipeline which was constructed to link the assets as part of the rationalisation process. The refurbishment of five unused CIL tanks at Ergo has increased processing capacity by 300 000tpm
to 2.1Mtpm.

A piece of human scoria (Billy Burke) with strong ties to the Bangkok criminal underworld murders an underage prostitute and is then justly dispensed of by the avenging angel ex-cop, Chang (Vithaya Pansringarm), which sets off a sequence of violent events as Billy's brother, Julian (a practically speechless Ryan Gosling), is ordered against his will by his evil wicked-witch of a mother, Crystal (Kristen Scott Thomas – so brilliant at going against type and positively oozing with diabolical dirt-baggery), to mete out Chang. Suffice it say…(am I spoiling anything here?)…wrong move, brother. Only God Forgives is a film about the scum of the earth…ahhhh…but it's an art film!

Q: Generics, type erasure and static fabric method For example, i have SimpleCallback class
public class SimpleCallback<T> implements Callback<T> {

    private SuccessListener<T> successListener;
    private ErrorListener errorListener;

    protected SimpleCallback() {

    }

    public static <C> SimpleCallback<C> success(SuccessListener<C> listener) {
        SimpleCallback<C> callback = new SimpleCallback<>();
        callback.successListener = listener;
        return callback;
    }

    public SimpleCallback<T> error(ErrorListener errorListener) {
        this.errorListener = errorListener;
        return this;
    }

    @Override
    public void onComplete(T result) {
        notifySuccess(result);
    }

    @Override
    public void onError() {
        notifyError();
    }

    public interface SuccessListener<T> {

        void onSuccess(T result);
    }

    public interface ErrorListener {

        void onError();
    }

}

Now i want to use this callback for get cats asynchronous:
SimpleCallback<List<Cat>> callback = SimpleCallback
            .success(cats -> cats.forEach(Cat::meow));

It's ok now, but when i want add error listener my cats become raw objects
SimpleCallback<List<Cat>> callback = SimpleCallback
            .success(cats -> cats.forEach(Cat::meow)) <-- Here cats become objects
            .error(() -> System.out.println("Cats error"));

One of solution use explicit generic type:
SimpleCallback<List<Cat>> callback = SimpleCallback.<List<Cat>>
            .success(cats -> cats.forEach(Cat::meow))
            .error(() -> System.out.println("Cats error"));

But it looks little bit ugly. So is any way to create callback without explicit generic type?
UPD: I think @Jesper offered good solution
Another solution is to provide the type of the argument of the lambda expression explicitly:
.success((List<Cat> cats) -> cats.forEach(Cat::meow))

A: Obviously the strategy for erasing generic type variables changes with context.
Sure there must be rules how this works but I don't know them, sorry.
From a practical point of view the solution suggested by Jesper, i.e. giving type information in the success method seems perfectly acceptable to me.
.success((List<Cat> cats) -> cats.forEach(Cat::meow))
Otherwise it is possible to pass both Listeners in a single method:
public static <C> SimpleCallback<C> create(
    SuccessListener<C> successListener, ErrorListener errorListener) {
    SimpleCallback<C> callback = new SimpleCallback<>();
    callback.successListener = successListener;
    callback.errorListener = errorListener;

    return callback;
}

and create the Callback in a single step:
Callback<List<Cat>> callback = SimpleCallback
        .create(
            cats -> cats.forEach(Cat::meow),
            () -> System.out.println("Cats error")
         );

A: In short, no. From this answer about how the diamond operator functions in Java 1.8, there are type inference issues with any chained method call. Your example is similar because
SimpleCallback<List<Cat>> callback = SimpleCallback
        .success(cats -> cats.forEach(Cat::meow));

is inferring the type C from the argument given to success.
Thus your options are:

*

*Explicitly declare the generic type

*Get a named reference (with an explicitly declared generic type) before using chained calls

For your example, I'd prefer to work with the following paradigm:
public class SimpleCallback implements Callback {
private SuccessListener<T> successListener;
private ErrorListener errorListener;

protected SimpleCallback() {

}

public static <C> SimpleCallback<C> create() {
    return new SimpleCallback<>();
}

public SimpleCallback<T> withSuccessListener(SuccessListener<T> listener) {
    this.successListener = listener;
    return this;
}

public SimpleCallback<T> withErrorListener(ErrorListener errorListener) {
    this.errorListener = errorListener;
    return this;
}

@Override
public void onComplete(T result) {
    notifySuccess(result);
}

@Override
public void onError() {
    notifyError();
}

public interface SuccessListener<T> {

    void onSuccess(T result);
}

public interface ErrorListener {

    void onError();
}

}
And then create in one line, adding and chaining on the next.
SimpleCallback<List<Cat>> callback = SimpleCallback.create();
callback = callback.success(cats -> cats.forEach(Cat::meow))
                   .error(() -> System.out.println("Cats error"));


Ok, this movie scared the daylights out of me as a kid. However, when re-watching it, I realized just how dated this movie is. The first section, The Woman in the Room, is pretty eerie, although extremely simple and short.


A recent crash highlights the air force's struggles to maintain its readiness and budget at a time when Revolutionary Guard leaders are pushing for a deterrence posture based solely on their own ballistic missile arsenal.
On May 24, the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF) lost yet another young fighter pilot, Maj. Roozbeh Nazerian, in an accident involving a Russian-made MiG-29 jet on a routine training flight. It was the IRIAF's thirteenth aviation accident and fourteenth fatality in just five years, and it triggered an emotional response among Iranians on par with the recent army casualties in Syria. While occasional spikes in accident rates might seem normal in any air force around the globe, Iran's problems are distinctive because it has a shrinking and unrenewable air fleet, lower-than-average flight hours, and massive budgetary disadvantages compared to the powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) — a result of both international sanctions and shifting priorities at the highest levels of the regime leadership.
In recent years, the IRIAF managed to secure just enough funding to overhaul and upgrade some of its surviving military aircraft, but their age and wear make full replacement long overdue. The air force has been under pressure from those who question its viability for some time, and it lost all of its air-defense assets to a new army branch in 2009. Meanwhile, the IRGC enjoys a favorable position with Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, attracts a much larger share of the direct annual defense budget and indirect funds, and has steadily transformed itself into a dominant economic force. It has also managed to convince the Supreme Leader that a dynamic missile program will enhance deterrence more effectively than the IRIAF ever could.
This argument seemed to have some merit at first — right up until Russian forces intervening in Syria demonstrated that flexible and persistent air power could be a better force multiplier than any ballistic missile arsenal. When Moscow ordered its first airstrikes there last September, they were quickly seen as a turning point for the embattled Assad regime; in contrast, a ballistic missile force would likely have limited utility during such a fast-changing, asymmetric war.
The IRIAF reportedly took the opportunity to lobby Khamenei on revitalizing the air force, and for a while it appeared to secure its future by plucking some money away from the IRGC's missile projects. In response, however, the IRGC launched a public-relations frenzy, showcasing the survivability of its medium-range missiles by hosting elaborate televised tours of vast underground missile complexes. It also claimed to possess more accurate missiles, such as the Emad with a claimed "circular error probable" of only 8 meters.
In contrast, despite making about $230 million in the past year through overhauling military and civilian aircraft (according to the published budget), Iran's aviation industry has been unable to develop a viable design for a modern fighter jet of its own, and any claims to the contrary have proven to be deceptive. This makes a foreign purchase the only viable option for a major IRIAF upgrade in the foreseeable future.
After the Iran-Iraq War ended in 1988, Tehran turned to Moscow to replenish its battered air force. The first of thirty-five MiG-29s arrived in September 1990, followed by a squadron of Sukhoi Su-24 long-range strike jets. Although these aircraft were delivered with a twenty-year support commitment, the promised Russian technical documentation and assistance were lacking, eventually undercutting the improvement in capabilities that the new planes represented. Today, the IRIAF's fleet continues to lag behind its Western counterparts in both readiness and performance. The air force has even had to bring experienced technicians out of retirement to cope with the growing challenge of keeping its aircraft flying.
Last summer, Iran sent a high-ranking delegation to the MAKS-2015 air show in Moscow. It was led by President Hassan Rouhani's science and technical advisor, Sorena Sattari, son of the late air force commander Gen. Mansour Sattari, who had spearheaded the previous drive to buy Russian jets. According to the Russian state-run media outlet Sputnik, the trip led to announcements that Iran might purchase up to 100 advanced Su-30 fighter-bombers and Yak-130 jet trainers as part of a larger $8 billion arms deal. Rumors of a similar agreement with China emerged as well.
Yet UN Security Council Resolution 2231 restricts all such sales to Iran for five years after adoption day of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the nuclear agreement that went into force in October. During that time, potential sellers need to seek the council's approval before shipping any combat aircraft to Iran. Moscow and Beijing seem reluctant to openly contravene that restriction, so it is unclear whether and when any new fighter jets will actually end up in Tehran's hands.
According to the latest figures published by the Iranian legal portal Shenasname, the government's unclassified defense budget for the current Persian fiscal year of 1395 (March 21, 2016, to March 21, 2017) is $9 billion, a 43 percent increase over the previous year. While this amount is small in comparison to Saudi Arabia's $45.9 billion budget, the IRGC and certain other military branches no doubt have additional sources of revenue, and their official funding was further expanded when parliament appropriated another $1.4 billion using money released under the JCPOA.
Yet the air force was apparently left out of this budgetary windfall. The national armed forces (Artesh) will receive $2 billion this year, but only $5.3 million of that is to be spent on "refurbishing the air force fleet" — a paltry amount when one considers that a single Su-30 costs $47-53 million. Similarly, only $3.5 million is earmarked for rebuilding air bases, and $8.3 million for overhauling army helicopters. The Iranian aviation industry received nothing from the budget this year, perhaps because it is expected to rechannel some of the money it made last year into overhaul projects.
In contrast, the IRGC has reportedly been allocated $4.9 billion, a 67 percent increase over the previous year, to which should be added the Basij Organization's budget of $357 million. Moreover, the General Staff of the Armed Forces will have a separate $684 million budget — a 34 percent increase — which includes $430 million to be set aside for "improving defensive capabilities." This budget can benefit the IRGC or the Artesh. Currently, Iran sources a majority of its arms and military equipment locally, so the restrictions on foreign purchases are not as crippling to other branches as they are to the IRIAF.
While the current situation favors the IRGC — which continues to dominate Iran's defense budget and battle planning with its underground missiles and agile naval programs — the national air force hopes an eventual reintroduction to international suppliers will help it get back on its feet. In the meantime, IRIAF leaders can try to show Iran's decisionmakers that conventional armed forces are a more sustainable option than a secretive ballistic missile program run by a rival revolutionary organization with an eccentric agenda and few practical bounds. And perhaps someday, a responsible, modern Iranian air force can emerge to work with the international community in the region and beyond. Whether the IRIAF is ever permitted to play such a role abroad, or even gain ground at home vis-a-vis the IRGC, will depend on the Islamic Republic's future political trajectory.

Michigan State freshman Jaren Jackson Jr. decides to enter NBA Draft
Alex Muller
The Michigan State men's basketball team is certainly going to have a different look heading into next season. Both MSU sophomores Miles Bridges and Nick Ward both declared for the NBA Draft late last month and on Monday, freshman Jaren Jackson Jr. decided to follow suit.
DEAR SPARTAN NATION…❤ pic.twitter.com/iZaijMnfL0
— Jaren Jackson Jr. (@therealjnari_) April 2, 2018
Jackson, a former 5-star power forward and top-10 high school player nationally, was a dynamite two-way player for MSU this season, averaging 10.9 points and 5.8 rebounds in 35 games. He was an elite defender down low, setting a new program-record with 106 blocks and leading the Big Ten with 3.0 per game. Jackson was also a legitimate threat from outside, shooting just under 40 percent on his 96 attempts from three-point land.
However, Jackson only averaged just over 21 minutes per contest for Michigan State, largely due to the fact that he found himself in foul trouble frequently. Still, the native of Carmel, Indiana earned multiple conference honors at season's end, being named both the freshman of the year and defensive player of the year.
Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo shared his thoughts on Jackson's decision to go pro:
"I'm so proud of Jaren and excited for him as he takes the next step in his basketball career," Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said in a statement. "He was a tremendous talent when he first stepped on campus, but when I think about the way he's improved so much in just one year, especially defensively and with the ball, the sky's the limit on what he can accomplish. There's no question he could be one of the first few players selected in the draft."
Jackson joins Bridges, who declared on March 28, and Ward, who echoed Bridges' decision one day later, as Spartans to forego their remaining college eligibility and pursue the NBA route. Ward, however, has decided not to hire an agent at the time, opening the door for a return to Michigan State.
Jackson's decision comes just days after his father, Jaren Sr., publicly said that there was no definitive timetable for the younger Jackson to make a decision. Jaren Jr. comes from a true basketball family. The elder Jackson is a Georgetown product and played professionally for 13 seasons. Jaren's mother, Terri, is the director of operations for the WNBA Players Association.
In terms of NBA Draft projections, Jackson has been a consensus lottery pick, likely a top-5 pick, in the eyes of many throughout the season, and is easily the most surefire of the three Spartans to declare for the draft. While he has all the tools and a very athletic body that will fill out as he ages, Jackson is still incredibly raw and will need grooming. Still, he's perceived as the safest best to pan out in the NBA.

Trent Harmon, 'There's a Girl' [Listen]
Taste of Country Staff
Big Machine Records Nashville
Trent Harmon pulls back vocally to let the lyrics of his new single "There's a Girl" shine. It's not a big vocal performance from the most recent American Idol winner — here, the Mississippian shows a troubadour's heart.
Harmon's storytelling is sharp, but the writers deserve credit for colorful, relatable lyrics. Songwriting veterans Jimmy Robbins and Laura Veltz teamed with Harmon to write "There's a Girl." It's comparable to RaeLynn's "God Made Girls," if presented from the opposite perspective.
Some may accuse "There's a Girl" of being presumptive, but those same people will likely find a moment in their history when they too did something out of character and reckless for a lover. The song is a sharp contrast from "Falling," Harmon's sultry debut single. While that song was filled with personality, this mid-tempo country truther asks him to refrain from putting too much of himself out there. It's about the song not the singer.
Did You Know?: Harmon's girl is Kathleen Couch. She urged him to audition for American Idol when he was considering giving up on music.
Listen to Trent Harmon, "There's a Girl"
Trent Harmon's "There's a Girl" Lyrics:
"There's a girl somewhere in Tupelo / Who's with a guy she barely knows / Who'd probably sell his soul for a kiss / There's a girl somewhere in Arkansas / Who's talkin' with a southern drawl / And guy who can't stop starin' at her lips / Ain't it crazy how they make us all so crazy."
"Why would we drive 600 miles one way / Blow through cash that we ain't made / Get tattoos, wash our trucks / Push and press our luck / Why would we ask when we know we can't dance / Show our hands and change our plans / Lose our minds, break our hearts / And learn to play guitar / Why does any man do anything in the whole damn world / 'Cause there's a girl / 'Cause there's a girl."
"There's a girl somewhere with eyes so blue / You know a call just won't do / So here I am on Highway 45 / First girl to get me to ask myself / How I'd been with anyone else / Any other minute of my life / Ain't it somethin' how they get us doin' somethin'."

What defines an Art Game and which patterns can help game designers to create such an unconventional and meaningful game?
When we talk about video games, we tend to stereotype them as just something fun and entertaining. We think of trivial stories and generic content. However, computer games are in an era of self-reflection: They express human experiences, spotlight important social and political topics and help to better understand complex contexts. The term «Art Games» is introduced to describe these unconventional computer games.
This work examines the formal classification of Art Games and identifies their substantive characteristics. For this purpose, a selection of Art Games are classified and modified using existing design patterns in order to find the best characterizing features. The evaluated patterns will be demonstrated on a prototype on the topic «shave».


I just read it. I'm not sure how to respond because I believe the entire last two weeks have been a farce, and ABC News is now an integral, enabling part of that farce. It's also unfair to judge a partial interview, because Gibson has so far asked no questions about her record as governor or mayor, and none of the tough questions that a press conference would ask. Maybe that is to come. So I will reserve judgment until I'm able to watch and read the entire interview. All I have learned thus far is that a McCain administration would be prepared to go to war with Russia over Georgia and will never, ever criticize or oppose any decision made by the government of the state of Israel. And I knew that already.


This weekend we decided to try Knolls. We started our adventure by getting our truck and trailer stuck in the sand, but luckily there were some very nice people camped nearby with a truck to give us a little tug. After we reached our destination among the dunes we realized that I had left the key to the rear door of our trailer home, so I busted out the hacksaw and cut the latch open to unload our rigs. After a rocky start we settled in and really enjoyed the time we were there. The kids had a blast playing in the sand and I really enjoyed exploring the many trails and wide open area. Knolls reminds me a little of a cross between white wash dunes and nutty putty. It had a lot of small dunes, but also a lot of rocky climbs. While the area really doesn't compare to Moab or Caineville, it is a good bang for your buck if you are looking for someplace closer to Salt Lake. Even on a hot weekend there were a good amount of people there, but the area is so big that can still find your own "corner" very easily.
Saturday I ventured out to find the limits of the area. It didn't take me long to come across the fence to the bombing range. We heard some very loud "booms" while we were there, so apparently it's still active. It was a short time after I took this picture that I got a flat on my rear tire, of course almost the furthest point from the trailer as possible. Luckily I have a ultra heavy duty tube and a very good tire so I was able to ride back taking care to at least save the tire if I could. I think the tube is toast, but the tire should be ok..at least as ok as it was.
Saturday evening around midnight it started to blow like the dickens. Brayden and I were sleeping out under the stars so we had to gather everything up and head for shelter in the trailer. The wind continued most of the night, but in the morning it was gone. We were glad not to be in a tent reflecting on a few windy nights in Moab on previous trips. After repositioning the trailer, we hardly heard the wind the rest of the night. Hey, we've paid our dues in the tent! We still had sand about everywhere imaginable when we left, but it was a very good fun trip regardless.

Woman sentenced to probation after allowing bear inside home and feeding it
DINGMAN TOWNSHIP, PIKE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) A woman has been sentenced to 12 months of probation and fined $500 after she allowed a black bear to enter her home while her child was present back in 2018.
According to the affidavit, pictures provided to police show a black bear inside the home of Sherry Desmond and her co-defendant Nicolas Clemente. Police say the pictures depict Desmond watching and allowing her children, a 15-year-old girl, and her son, age unknown feeding the wild bear.
A search warrant was executed and several devices, including cell phones were seized. Officers say that while talking to Nicolas Clemente, he at one point said "I'm not going to lie, I feed the bears."
Officers found multiple pictures showing Clemente, Desmond and the children feeding a wild bear inside their home dated from 2017 to 2018. A video on the phone also showed Clemente in the kitchen while a black bear was walking around.
Desmond was charged with two counts of endangering welfare of children, recklessly endangering another person, and unlawfully driving or disturbing wildlife.

NEW YORK (AP) — While monitoring online chatter about protests at state capitols in advance of next week's presidential inauguration, the Seattle Times came across a chilling description for journalists: soft targets.
The phrase drove home the importance of safety precautions being put in place by news organizations across the country this weekend, including those planned by Times managing editor Ray Rivera and his colleagues.


The video demonstrating the OH step back lunges shows an alternating lunge. For the purposes of this workout, don't alternate. Continuously step back with the same leg until all reps have been completed for that side.
Note that the previous reps for the lunges on this workout was 20 ea. leg, it has been changed to 10 reps on the left, 10 on the right for a total of 20 reps (R+L=2). You're welcome!
Start SLOWLY on those high windmills. As the rounds progress you're hamstrings and sides will loosen up and you may be able to get a bit faster, but give yourself a couple of rounds to warm-up first.
Also, your shoulders might be tired today, especially with that OH hold. If that's the case, go down in weight on the high windmills or use the alt which is a low windmill.
Added some runs for today because we needed some outside hoofing (as Judy would say).


I am bursting with excitement to go see my great pal, Rachel. We are meeting for a girls weekend. It will be the first time we have spent 24 hours together in over a year! She is a gem.
I am torn, because there is this sweet boy.
And he makes my heart explode with love. I have never left him for more than a few hours at a time. He also fills every. single. moment. of every. single. day. with me (most of the time). He is almost 18 months. He makes me laugh and he exasperates me. He makes me tear up because he brings so much joy to my life, but sometimes he makes me tear up because I am exhausted, frustrated and don't understand what he needs. But, I love him. I love him more than I thought possible.
Who deals with his wife in an amazing, understanding way. He wants nothing more than to make me smile. He even puts up with me when my hormones are all whacked out, I feel like a heifer and my hair is out of control. He even offers to keep B with him for the weekend so i can have an honest to goodness girls only weekend. He offers even though he has a project that he needs to finish. A project that people keep asking him when he is going to finish. That is how much he loves me.
ack...that's hard. i know about those guilty feelings. even just leaving Micah w/ joe for an hour while I go get my hair cut. it's a hard call. i can sense your frustrations! my honest opinion - if you are feeling a bit "worn" these days, a 24 hour break may be just the thing you need. even though it sounds harsh at times - at least when i say it. on the FLIP side, I don't know Norse, but it may be quite the unselfish "gesture" to acknowledge the fact that he needed this weekend to finish up work, etc - and tell him you want him to have that. just a thought, i'm sure that didn't help you make a decision - but i can see it going both ways... am i making sense, or too confusing? haha. love ya!
I got this one girl. Listen, I never like to give my opinion or advice but since you asked for it, lol. The guilt of leaving my 2 yr old daughter's side has done more harm than good for me. I would never leave her for more than like an hour due to loving her so much and yes the guilt. But, being in mommy mode 24/7 really starting getting to me. And long story short, I drove myself a little crazy and even separated from my husband for a while. Now, I realize, I need a whole night away sometimes with good adult conversations to be a better, less stressed, chilled out and smiling mom and wife.
Grab your purse and run as fast as you can. You'll relax, enjoy yourself and be a better mom and wife for it. Go!
I would agree that you need a girl's only weekend. I can testify that being a SAHM is wonderful, but we must recharge our batteries in order to be the fabulous mamas that we are!
I say take the break and have a little "You" time. It's a very hard thing to do, but a necessary one. Really both of your boys will be fine and happy to see you when you get home! Whenever my Hubby offers to keep my boys I leap at the chance... Of course you visited my blog, maybe you can see why ;) Thanks for stopping by yesterday!
Girls only trip! Although, who am I to say... I have no husband or child... so don't listen to a word i say.
Is there someone else who could take the little man for a day, that way you both get a break?
I gotta say I'm with Erika and "little toes" on this one! Think of it this way-- (and yeah, I know I don't have kids [yet], but I did grow up the oldest of six kids): You're going to be guiding and nurturing your little guy for at least the next 18 years! Sometimes, a weekend by yourself is necessary! It'll give you a chance to to re-center, and refresh yourself. You'll come back re-invigorated and ready to resume your awesome career as Mommy to Boden again!

The main area main is the area with the most content. It needs to be scrollable.
But my problem is now, how could I realize, when the browser window is too small, that all areas are displayed correctly?
I thought on making the overall area all scrollable with CSS
overflow:auto; or overflow:scroll;. But this does not work. I think the problem is, that the other areas are position:fixed and so the overall area  all does not recognize the size of the other areas. Hard to explain, I hope, you can understand, what I try to explain.
Is there a way to display scrollbars, when the window is too small?
Thanks in advance for your help. If some code is missing or something is unclear, please feel free to ask.

A: I think what you really need is responsive design -- a fancy term for making your web page work on any size of screen, from the biggest desktop monitor to an iPhone 5. That basically requires more CSS -- not difficult, but the issue is too complex to answer here. There are some good tutorials on the web, but start with Wikipedia: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Responsive_web_design

One Miami high school's prom was really on theme, much to the displeasure of some students and parents.
Christopher Columbus High School went with a "Welcome to the Jungle" theme for Friday night's prom, and the decorations carted into the Double Tree Hilton Miami Airport Convention Center included a caged tiger, reports ABC News.
CBS Miami reports one student whose brother attended prom took to Facebook to complain that the "poor tiger was used as an EXOTIC amusement for the mindless teenagers who were present." It wasn't the only amusement: The Miami Herald reports a lemur, two macaws, and an African fennec fox were also brought in to amplify the theme.
It "was never harmed or in danger, was not forced to perform, was always accompanied by his handlers, and for the great majority of the time was lying down in a relaxed state facing away from the audience," the school continued.

South Carolina receiver Deebo Samuel declaring for NFL draft
South Carolina's Deebo Samuel breaks away from Arkron's Zaire Jacobs for a touchdown during first-quarter action in Columbia, S.C. on Saturday, Dec. 1, 2018. (Travis Bell/SIDELINE CAROLINA) (Source: Travis Bell)
December 3, 2018 at 5:53 PM EST - Updated December 3 at 7:11 PM
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina receiver Deebo Samuel says he is skipping the Belk Bowl so he can begin preparing for the NFL draft.
Samuel thanked fans in his announcement Monday on Instagram , but says it is time to support his family, adding "I realize the next 6 months will determine my next four years and potentially even more."
Samuel has shown flashes of brilliance while fighting injuries. He was responsible for 30 touchdowns in his Gamecocks career catching, running and returning kicks along with two TD passes and an end zone fumble recovery on special teams.
Samuel missed games his freshman year with hamstring problems and broke his leg in his third game of 2017 before deciding to return his senior year.
Samuel was a first-team Associated Press All-Southeastern Conference pick as an all-purpose player and a second team pick as a wide receiver.
The Gamecocks play Virginia on Dec. 29.
