"It's a dangerous business… going out of your door…. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there is no knowing where you might be swept off to."* This is something Bilbo Baggins, Hobbit of the Shire, used to say to his nephew Frodo, and it's no less true in our world than it was in Middle Earth. This is a great metaphor for travel, or for life, or for embarking on a new relationship or career. But it's an even better metaphor for writing a sermon.
There's an aspect of this J.R.R. Tolkien quote in just about anything I do, which is one of the reasons I am attracted to Christianity in the first place. There's no way for me to separate the idea of a journey from the way I look at discipleship, that is, following Christ. And I like to take things as they come, not decide in advance what value I'll be getting from an experience.
But sermon writing takes this "journey" idea to a whole new level. Anytime I embark on the writing of a sermon, it's like climbing into my car in San Diego with the intention of driving to Denver. Sometimes I have a roadmap, sometimes I don't. But no matter what my intentions might be or what resources I might have, I almost always end up taking a few side trips along the way. Sometimes I head in the direction of Denver, don't make it beyond Vegas. Or sometimes I get thrown immediately off-course from the start, and find myself in Baja. But no matter where I end up going, through prayer and research and meditation, I see some pretty interesting sights (at least they're interesting to me). In this way, preaching is like showing you a slide show from my last vacation.
Today, however, I'm not even going to pretend like I have a destination in mind. I'm just going to climb in the car and see where it takes me.
As is usually the case, I can blame Calvin for this. Not the Calvin of Calvin and Hobbes fame (though I suspect he might have the same uncertain effect on my preaching, as well as the same come-what-may outlook on travel), but the Reformer John Calvin. You see, though I'd intended to preach on the John passage—the one in Martha and Mary's house, in which Mary anoints Jesus' feet—I still studied all the passages appointed for this morning. And when I read what Calvin had to say about the Philippians passage (the one on the front of the bulletin I asked you to read in preparation for worship), I got swept off in a direction I didn't intend to go.
Whatever gains I had, these I have come to regard as loss because of Christ. More than that, I regard everything as loss because of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and I regard them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him [Philip. 3:7-9a].
Here Paul talks about being found in Christ. Now, taken out of context, this seems like quite a matter-of-fact statement. Quite the opposite of a journey, it implies something static. Right now, for example, if somebody where to ask us where they might find us, we'd tell them that we can be found in La Jolla. Tonight, I will be found in UTC, and you will probably be found someplace else. It's just a plain old passive use of the verb to find [εὑρίσκω].
But Calvin had a beautiful way of reminding us not only of that verb's context, but of its intended meaning. Believe it or not, the Greek word in question is one that's actually very familiar to us. It's a different from of the same Greek verb that we see on California's state seal: (εὑρηκα) Eureka! The form of the verb Paul uses here is εὑρεθῶ.
The verb is in the passive voice, and that's how everybody else has rendered it: be found in him. But they pass over the context in a very indifferent manner, as though it had no peculiar force. If you read it in the passive voice, something very different should be understood—namely, that Paul was lost before he was found in Christ. Think of a rich merchant on a sinking ship. As long as his vessel is laden with riches, he's as good as lost. But once he's thrown them overboard, he's found—not just in the literal sense, but also the spiritual sense; for he had to reprioritize and decide that life was worth more than riches. In other words, he'd have been lost if he hadn't been lost. But because he was lost he was found. The verb is still passive, for he was found by others alive in the ship. But if he hadn't gotten rid of that which was not life, he would never have been found by anyone [paraphrase of Calvin's commentary on Philip. 3:9].
This is what Paul is talking about: He rid himself of that which was not life—a dead adherence to the letter of the law—and found that he could gain Christ and thus be found alive in him. One version of the Bible [the New Living Translation] that I normally like interprets this phrase rather than translates it: so that I could gain Christ and become one with him.
Paul was really good at articulating the theology behind what it meant to be found in Christ. He even added a few details from his life from time to time. But it's in the gospels where we see how this worked in real life. And no character shows us this better than Mary. In the western church, Mary of Bethany and Mary Magdalene are thought of as the same person, so all we need to remember is that this Mary isn't the mother of Jesus but the sister of Martha and Lazarus—Lazarus being the one Jesus raised from the dead.
We don't know a whole lot about Martha and Mary, but of all the characters in the gospels, they are among the most true to form. In their own ways, they both defy social norms. Martha appears to be a female head of household in a time and place where women were not heads of household. Other women depended on their closest male relative—husband, father, son—for their rights and their welfare. But Martha is never mentioned as being dependent on any male relative. She appears to own her own home, and entertains the Anointed of God in it.
Just as true to herself and just as non-conforming is her sister Mary. Mary appears to be the younger sister, but she's not all that interested in following in her sister's very responsible footsteps. When Martha is working hard in the kitchen and serving Jesus at table, Mary seems always to be at his feet, learning all she can from him.
In another very famous story (and, God willing, we'll hear a sermon on that on July 17), Jesus is in Martha's home and Martha complains to him that her sister isn't helping out in the kitchen. Jesus answered her, "Dear Martha, you're preoccupied with many things; but there is need of only one. Mary's made the best choice—she's chosen something that can't be taken away from her" [paraphrase of Luke 10:41-43].
In this morning's passage from a different gospel, we find a similar situation: Martha serving and Lazarus sitting with Jesus at the table. Once again Mary's at Jesus' feet. In the other story, Mary is doing something a woman shouldn't do: learning at the feet of a master when there's work to be done in the kitchen. Today she's doing something absolutely scandalous: She's let her hair down and she's anointing Jesus' feet with a substance she'd spent a lot of money on, and she's drying his feet with her hair.
I think we're tempted to think that it was a different culture and that that's just the way things were done back then. But no, what Mary did at Jesus' feet was no less scandalous when it happened than it would be now. Mary had thrown away all that was not life in order to be found in Jesus. And here we see her express that found-ness in the most profound way anybody expresses it in the whole Bible.
What would it have been like to kneel at the feet of the very Person who brought all that into your life—who brought life into your life—and anoint him for his death? How did she know he was going to die?
It sounds to our ears like Jesus is saying it's okay not to care about the needy. Except his words and actions—his whole life up to this point—say otherwise. He's actually stating a simple fact: To be found in me is more than just losing yourself in working in my Name in the world; it's also finding strength in worship. No act of true worship—no matter how extravagant—has ever done anything to hurt others or discourage God's people from helping them. In fact, worship is what strengthens the children of God to do God's work in the world. Far from discouraging outreach to the poor, Jesus is here saying that helping them in God's Name will always be a part of who his followers are, both before that moment in Bethany and after, until the end of the age.
Instead of engaging in debate about what Jesus meant when he said, "The poor you'll always have with you," Christians should look at this passage from John and ask ourselves where we are in this scene.
Are we Martha, so busy working for Jesus that we are unable to enjoy his company?
Are we Lazarus, one who has been given a new lease on life, but who just remains in the pew?
Are we Judas, one who has learned to manipulate the faith he professes to his own advantage?
Or are we Mary, one who, like Paul, counts everything else as lost—time, treasure, reputation—in order to be found in Christ?
Whoever we were yesterday, we don't have to be that character today. And whoever we are today, we don't have to remain that character for the rest of our lives. I don't know what Mary was like before she met Jesus, but I do know who Paul was. What he counted as loss before being found in Christ wasn't money or perfume. It was something that seemed much more important than either: Saul used to think his religion was his treasure, and he was very proud, not only of how closely he adhered to its rules, but of how effectively he drew attention to those who broke the rules. But when he encountered Jesus on the road to Damascus, he lost Saul the fundamentalist, and was found as Paul, who was able to see his closed-mindedness as a complete waste of time and energy.
I don't know where it originated, but there's a popular saying these days: Nobody's ever said on their deathbed, 'I wish I'd spent more time in the office.' And if that's true, then I think none of us, when we think about the people we miss the most, would ever say of our relationship with them, 'I wish I'd spent more time waiting on them.' John's account of Mary's extravagant offering to Jesus, and Jesus' extravagant acceptance of it, is so vivid that the fragrance that filled that room in Martha's house in Bethany still lingers in our sanctuary this morning. It adds something to every prayer we pray and every hymn we sing.
There's a time and a place to work in the kitchen like Martha, or to sit in the pew like Lazarus. There may even be a time to be shrewd like Judas (though I hope that's last on our list). But the best example of what it means to follow Jesus is Mary, whose richest gain she counts but loss, who pours contempt on all her pride, and is found once again at Jesus' feet.

Tuesday BARB Up December 27, 2016.
So, in this week between Christmas and New Years, there is a perception of downtime in effect. School is on break. Many office environments are closed for business. And people go on vacation, or out of town. This is the first Christmas break where I am in town for the holidays and I'm so happy to be home. I am, for a change, without structure. Without the need to wake up, prepare lunch for The Teenager, feed and walk the dog. Without the need to go to an office. Without the need to be present for others. It's a nice bit of downtime, for me. I do thrive on structure, but I very much appreciate not having to be needed to do anything other than what I choose. And that's a very powerful feeling.
Here's how to deal with the separation anxiety pummeling you as we approach saying goodbye to Michelle and Barack Obama.
The tech world is interested in women's health, like at-home pap smears and other fun things. Whoopsie.
Now have a laugh with Ellen Cleghorne.

Two NHL Greats Discuss The Potential Lockout
09/11/2012 at 6:51pm EDT
from CTV Atlantic,
"I really think this one won't be as long as the last one," said Gretzky Tuesday during an event at Casino New Brunswick in Moncton. "I think somehow, some way, both sides will come together and we'll be playing hockey sooner rather than later."
Recent negotiations between the NHL and the National Hockey League Players' Associationhave produced little common ground.
Another hockey legend says if players are told to stay home, they won't be there for long.
"I just can't believe they won't get together," Orr said Monday in Charlottetown. "There may be a short delay, but I can't believe it will be more than a short time. It would be so silly."

This "infusion", from the set of Beauty Infusions that Skin Authority has come out with, is a wonderful way to brighten skin without using any Vitamin C or AHAs. It concentrates the power of curcumin found in turmeric and the antioxidants found in blueberries to help fade the appearance of dark spots and discolorations. Turmeric has been used for centuries to make skin look spotless and radiant. You can either use it directly on your skin at night, during the day underneath your sunscreen or add a few drops to your favorite foundation or skincare product, or apply directly on your skin as a standalone skin primer. Personally, I prefer to apply it at night underneath my serums and moisturizers.
It is non-greasy and has a natural base oil blend that absorbs quickly into the skin. Turmeric and curcumin are active naturals to brighten and illuminate the complexion. It easily combines with most makeup foundations or skincare products. Can be applied directly on skin as a standalone primer. This infusion does not contain any dyes, fragrances, parabens, or has been subjected to animal testing.
I think this infusion does a wonderful job of brightening the skin. I love how versatile the product is. The fact that you can use this on skin alone, as a primer/skincare product, in foundation or in another skincare product is great. Personally, I prefer to use it as a standalone product. It is oily but not greasy and sinks right into the skin, leaving no oily feeling behind. This way you get a nice light sheen to the skin like a primer would leave but without any oily residue. And it does brighten the skin. I used this for up to 4 weeks. It lightened my hyperpigmentation, especially around and under my eyes. It took about 3 weeks to 4 weeks to see results, it was not instantaneous. But I did see results and I am happy about that. And they were not pitiful either. I saw good results that I would say are about 5 on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the best.
The Skin Authority Beauty Infusion Turmeric & Blueberry Brightening is available from www.skinauthority.com for $49.00.

It can be the simple things of life, that speak to us of another world, unlike ours. A simple picture of roses on the windowsill, speak of life, here and beyond. Why do I see this you might say?
These flowers will wither and die, but in eternity, nothing will die. Life in God has no end, and no decay.The beauty all around us tells of a time to come but also of a time once before.
In the first garden in Genesis, the Garden of Eden, nothing wilted or gave way to dryness and death. How my soul longs for a place like this! I guess you might long for it too.
All of us do at some point in our lives. We see the devastation of sin, lies and pain and want to be where life never ends, and restoration of our hearts, bodies, and minds will be forever.
Jesus also longs for us to be with him where it is never night, and freedom for our souls abounds. He would have returned to earth long ago to set up His millennial reign but for this:the saving of many who are far from Him.
We are here with orders from the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Be my disciples, but be with me first. Mark 3:13-14"Jesus went up on a mountainside and called to him those he wanted, and they came to him. In verse 14 he said: that they might be with him.
You and I need to be with Jesus. This has to be our first encounter of our day, because we don't hold the glory of God in us for very long. We are leaky vessels but His presence covers and guides us into all truth.
With all of our hearts we serve and it is evident that we have been with Jesus. " You have made known to me the path of life, you will fill me with joy in your presence at your right hand." Psalm16:11 NIV Splash some of God's love on someone today. Surprise those who need to be cheered with a kind word.You are doing the will of your Father in heaven!

The selling pressure has seen in the first week of the October with Nifty falling 5.6 percent to close a tad above 10,300 levels. For instance, in a previous trade, the National Stock Exchange (NSE) benchmark index Nifty opened lower at 10,514.10 from its previous close of 10,599.25 and closed at 10,316.45.
This selling pressure is partially from the surprise move by RBI's MPC and the consistent fall in the rupee and crude volatility. On Oct. 05, the Nifty closed at a six-month low making a bearish candle on the daily charts and as well as weekly charts.
However, the Nifty Bank index closed at 24,443.45, down 375.85 points.
Taking cues from the global sentiment and previous trade, it is expected to see a flat to the negative opening in today's session.

Typhoon, Lady Lamb the Beekeeper, & Wild Ones @ The Outer Space, Hamden
In recent months, The Outer Space has hosted indie rock greats like Mission Of Burma, Built to Spill, and Pinback. By name recognition, Typhoon does not seem to be at the same level but the crowd that showed up on a Tuesday in Connecticut seemed to suggest otherwise.
The show was opened by Topshelf Records latest signees, Wild Ones. The Portland-based five piece is helmed by Danielle Sullivan who stage presence is comparable to the sprite from Ferngully. Her sweet vocals lilted perfectly over the band's synth pop instrumentals.
Although female-fronted as well, Lady Lamb the Beekeeper's style was completely different. Lady Lamb's songwriting mixes elements of country, indie, and classic rock. The songs' structure is often complex, containing movements rather than standard verse-chorus-verse setup. Considering her band was comprised of drums and bass, Lady Lamb's guitar playing was dynamic switching between rhythm and lead seamlessly and sounds damn good doing it. As Lady Lamb explained, she had recently been holed up in Maine, writing a new record so her set was comprised of old favorites as well as a couple of new tracks. While generally bands who play unreleased tracks during relatively short sets is frowned upon, the complexity of that tracks made them entrancing to the audience. The only time Lady Lamb lost the audience was during some technical troubles with her electric banjo.
[soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/24947317″ params="color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_artwork=true" width="100%" height="166″ iframe="true" /]
The headliner of the night and the clear big draw was Typhoon. The 11-piece band boasts three drummers/percussionists, two violinists, a horn section, two guitars, and a bass player. To call it an embarrassment of riches seems like an understatement. While the multiple percussionists did not seem to make much sense, every other member seemed to play a pretty intricate part in the song's arrangements: the violins would bounce between pizzicato and arco, the horns were not there to only accent but to also hold melody, and the whole circus is helmed by Kyle Morton. Morton's voice is not overly strong; it is reminiscent of the softer side of Bright Eyes. It benefits from the arrangement and having a plethora of band members to chime in with backing vocals.
It is not overly surprising that Typhoon was such a big draw in Connecticut. Their Bright Eyes meets Colorado jam band style makes them perfect for frat boys and hipsters alike. The crowd danced and sang along like they were in the mud of some summer festival, a nice get away from the still fairly cold temperatures we're getting this time of year.

Baby formula is the new hot target for criminal syndicates
News Baby formula is the new hot target for criminal syndicates
11:04pm, Aug 2, 2019 Updated: 7:07pm, Aug 2

Cait Kelly Reporter
There is a surprising new currency being traded on the black market by crime syndicates – and no, it's not that powder you'd expect.
Baby formula is hot property among criminal networks, and authorities across Australia are grappling with how to stop the crooks from cashing in on the product that fetches huge profits in China.
The problem has become so common that retailers are now keeping the tins locked up behind the shop counter alongside cigarettes (the other lucrative product for gangs).
In Melbourne this month, staff at a Coles supermarket caught a man brazenly walking out of the shop with a trolley full of hundreds of stolen tins.
In the biggest formula burglary Victoria has seen, a gang of five thieves was charged last week after allegedly targeting more than 40 sites in one month.
The criminal gangs hit supermarkets and warehouses, sometimes brazenly in the middle of the day, stocking up on as many tins as they can before making a run for it.
They then send the formula to China where it can fetch more than $100 for each one.

One of the men charged in the Victorian ring, Jaswinder Singh, 31, from St Albans, joined the gang in an attempt to fund his heroin addiction, according to The Herald Sun.
Syndicates are also working out of Sydney, where two people were arrested in June when police raided a storage container and found $25,000 worth of stolen products, including popular brands of the milk powder.
And as of April, eight people were charged after another crime ring allegedly stole 4000 tins of formula from stores across Sydney.

In Victoria, police said they were working with retailers to curb the number of thefts.
"Police are aware that international demands can make it an attractive commodity for criminal entities," spokeswoman Belinda Batty said.
"We are committed to holding offenders to account for these crimes and have made a number of arrests following thefts from supermarkets and pharmacies across Melbourne."
One superviser at Coles in Melbourne told The New Daily they had moved their baby formula behind the counter after one man walked out with a trolley full.
"One guy put 300 to 400 in a trolley and just walked out. Thankfully they caught him," she said.
"We do have some in the aisles. They're security tagged but some aren't, so we've put them there (behind the counter)."
An independent pharmacy in Melbourne CBD said they moved their stock close to the counter after hearing about the thefts.
"We've read about it and that's why we keep them here," the owner said pointing to the display a metre away from the counter."

Australian baby formula has become a highly sought after product in China since 2008, when a large batch was contaminated in the country, leaving 300,000 children sick and six infants dead.
In the years following the scandal, consumer trust in Chinese milk products eroded and the local market was flooded by brands from Australia and Europe, for a highly inflated price.
This has led to chaos in Australian aisles as professional shoppers – or daigou – legally buy the milk powder for it to be shipped overseas.
The demand has emptied shelves and caused outrage among locals, who say there has not been enough product for them.
Hi Woolworths was just at your North Melbourne store and the two can limit on baby formula per transaction doesn't seem…
Posted by David Cooper on Friday, July 19, 2019
Belinda Jennings, founder of national mums network Mum Central, said that local mothers were struggling to get certain products because they were flying off the shelves.
"I've seen empty shelves, and I've heard in conversations just how mums are struggling to find a specific formula," she said.
"Especially new mums who are trying to find their feet."
Ms Jennings said that the two-cans-per-person rule was failing, as demand for the product appears insatiable.
"They (daigou) go in and buy their two tins, leave and go straight back in. It doesn't take long when there's four or five to empty a supermarket. It's big business," she said.

Dozens block Phoenix street in anti-migrant detention protest
PHOENIX - Dozens of protesters blocked a downtown Phoenix street outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office ahead of federal roundups expected Sunday.
Police told the crowd Friday that people would be subject to arrest if they did not move out of the street and off the light rail tracks.
Protesters shouted chants against immigration detention under the Trump administration.
Some stood in the street while others lined the sidewalk along Central Avenue.
President Donald Trump says the roundups will begin Sunday, and his agents plan to eventually arrest millions of immigrants in the country illegally.
Administration officials have said they're targeting about 2,000 people in the national sweep, which would yield about 200 arrests based on previous crackdowns.
Roundups are not expected in Phoenix.
Phoenix Police arrested over a dozen people for unlawful assembly and obstructing a public thoroughfare. Two people were also arrested for aggravated assault on a police officer.

Not in Silicon Valley Anymore: The New Health IT Hubs
For a long time, tech and innovation went hand-in-hand with visions of Silicon Valley and New York City. But new hubs of health-focused startups are emerging, as digital health companies lay roots in mid-sized metro areas.
According to the Kauffman Index of Entrepreneurship, healthcare is ranked No. 4 in terms of U.S. industries with the largest share of high-growth companies in 2016. Within that sector, Nashville, Tenn., has the most high-growth company density among healthcare companies, meaning it has the most private companies that have achieved at least 20 percent annualized growth over a three-year period with at least $2 million in revenue. This can be seen in the growing amount of venture capital invested in the area, which stems from the city's reputation as a hotspot for healthcare activity in general.
Other health IT hubs like Miami are still in the early stages of maturation, but entrepreneurs and innovators are priming the city for growth. One newly launched accelerator is harnessing Miami's diversity, demographics and geographic location to test products that could eventually be scaled nationwide.
Startups and incubators are clustering in these and other mid-sized cities, forgoing the reputation afforded by Silicon Valley and other big tech cities and capitalizing instead on other factors.
Pull factors
When new companies look at where to set up shop, one of the biggest influencers is nothing more than where the founders live, according to E.J. Reedy, a senior fellow at Kauffman Foundation who helped author the Index of Entrepreneurship. While that sometimes may be in larger, more tech-focused areas like Silicon Valley — especially if a new company is spun out of an existing one — it also lends rise to places like Madison, Wis., home of Epic Systems.
Judy Faulkner had recently graduated from University of Wisconsin when she founded her company in 1979. Epic was originally headquartered in Madison before moving about 10 miles west to Verona, Wis., in 2005 when it outgrew its initial space.
Though geographically established by happenstance, Epic now serves as an economic anchor in the greater Madison area. At the Wisconsin Early Stage Symposium in 2015, a gathering of new companies, entrepreneurs, investors and business leaders, Peter Christman, an associate with seed stage tech investor Chicago Ventures, reiterated this idea, speaking of "the burgeoning, dynamic ecosystem that revolves around Epic here in town," he said, according to The Capital Times.
In fact, the Greater Madison Chamber of Commerce has harnessed this idea and launched a formalized marketing campaign to deem Madison as "the world-class leader for health technology" called the HealthTech Capitol initiative.
In Nashville, Healthcare Corporation of America is the anchor drawing talent and companies to the area. Hayley Hovious, president of the Nashville Health Care Council, says HCA's establishment in 1968 as one of the first — and now largest — hospital companies helped drive the entrepreneurial activity and spirit that persists today. HCA operates 169 hospitals and 116 surgery centers throughout the United States and the United Kingdom, so even though it's headquartered in a mid-size city, it has a global reach.

The blinc cosmetics line of products includes eyeliner, eyebrow mousse, eyeshadow primer, long lash product, and mascara and much more. blinc's mission is to provide safe and exceptional beauty products that redefine how they should be made, applied and perform. They also offers many vegan and gluten-free products.
blinc mascara AMPLIFIED provides incredible, buildable, volume and length, all while offering the Life Proof properties (i.e., smudge-proof, sweat-proof, water-resistant, flake-proof) of the original blinc mascara.
blinc mascara AMPLIFIED coats lashes with a glossy, volumizing and extending coat that forms tiny water-resistant "tubes" around the lash.
Brush mascara on until you have achieved the desired degree of lash separation, volume and length.
A combination of plenty of warm water and gentle pressure from your fingertips will slide the mascara from your lashes effortlessly.
I was a little skeptical when it came to this mascara, because I didn't think I would love it as much as my current Revlon mascara, but I was pleasantly surprised. This mascara coats my lashes without becoming clumpy and is very black which I love for everyday wear. I also found that it didn't flake throughout the day and was long wearing. The only thing I would be mindful of when using this mascara is the residual mascara that can build up around the edges of the tube if it is not properly cleaned when needed. I realize that this can happen to many mascaras, but I found it occurring more often with this product. I also found that one coat often wasn't enough, but that tends to happen to me with other mascaras as well.
blinc eyeliner pencil was created to feature water proof, smudge proof, fade proof colour that makes it one of the longest wearing pencils available.
blinc eyeliner pencil formula contains antioxidants and vitamins to help firm and condition skin.
Close eyes and pull eye lid taut to draw your line.
Use a small chiseled or angled brush to smudge the line to make it softer.
Use any gentle makeup to remove.
To start off, I love this product more than any other product in this line. The eyeliner didn't smudge all day and that's coming from someone who doesn't use an eyeliner on an everyday basis because other products smudge so much. Since it's a pencil, you don't get an extremely black line like you would with gel or liquid; but this is great for everyday use. This is also great for someone with sensitive eyes, and I can confidently say that I can put this on my water line and it will not irritate my eyes.
blinc eyebrow mousse holds brows in place, tints hair and fills in sparse areas with water-resistant colour.
blinc eyebrow mousse creates the perfect brow line that cannot fade, run or smudge.
Gently sweep the wand across the brow line in short strokes.
This product is easy to use and makes your eyebrows stay put all day without looking fake. I'm not a big fan of using mousse on my eyebrows because it always feels heavy to me. However, this is a great option for someone who is looking for a slight brow tint.
blinc fountain of youthful colour eye shadow primer keep your shadow on, while providing your skin with anti-aging benefits.
blinc primer offers full coverage by concealing and filling existing fine lines, eliminating redness and providing a smooth lid for easy shadow application.
This is a life saver for all girls with oily eye lids. I tried it on a day where I needed to run a few errands, and my eyeshadow did not shift at all.
Have you tried blinc cosmetics? Let me know what you think in the comments below!

A new court ruling supports that individuals who text someone they know is driving a motor vehicle could be held liable should the driver get into an accident. Although not announced as part of North Carolina traffic law in state court yet, in a separate jurisdiction up north in New Jersey, a ruling targets these texters.
Knowing someone is driving is defined as "special knowledge" by officials. The court upheld that texters have a "duty to users of the public roads to refrain from sending the driver a text at that time." Although some may argue it is the driver's negligence for breaking a state's law and responding to a text while driving, the recent court ruling sets a glaring standard otherwise.
To avoid legal actions and help prevent accidents, refrain from text messaging any individual who you know may be driving at the time they receive your text. Encourage your friends and family to break distracted driving habits. Learn about smartphone apps for drivers that block calls and texts while a vehicle is in motion. There are legally permissable times to use a phone, while driving is not one of them. If you are involved in an accident, our Raleigh injury lawyers review smart ways to use your smartphone after an accident.
It still remains to be seen in North Carolina, but accident victims may have an added means of compensation depending if North Carolina upholds the same legal requirement of non-driving texters as other states appear to be enforcing. Based on this recent ruling, if you were hurt by a driver who was texting and there is evidence that shows the individual texting the at-fault driver knew they were behind the wheel, you and other accident victims may be able to collect additional compensation from the non-driving texter.
UPDATE - In September 2013 this texting while driving case was appealed and the appeals court ruled the non-driving texter will not be held liable, but they do have a duty to refrain from texting if they are aware the individual they are texting is driving a motor vehicle.


So sad to say that this will be my last post as a design team member.
It has been a great pleasure being on this team.
Don't you just love the script on this sentiment?
I just love how pretty it is.
Pine Trees is brand new and I have to say it is an amazing set. You can layer the trees or just stamp them like I did. So many fun ways to use this set and you don't have to use it just for winter. I thought it was perfect for welcoming a new neighbor card. Go crazy with the colors and get colorful.
Happy A Jillian Vance Design shopping.
Your pine trees are beautiful Annette, what a wonderful card!! You'll be missed on the team, you've done an amazing job!!
amazing card... so sad to see you go... you will be missed!

I used to read these murder mysteries by Meg Cabot about the trials and travails of one Heather Wells, a college dorm administrator turned unofficial private detective who solves the murders of several of her snotty undergrads. According to the author, the series' fictional college was partly inspired by her own experience working at an NYU dorm for several years. One gets the impression it was hardly a dream job.
We occasionally get emails from Heather with the subject line "You Snooze You Lose" and a picture of the homemade baked goods sitting in her office that are up for grabs. She had out lemon ricotta cookies one day, tangy and dense and good enough to almost make you think that spring was finally going come to Boston.
She condescended to share some of her favorite ricotta recipes with me, and food blogger that I am, I did some experimentation with them. This pound cake recipe is from Giada De Laurentiis (I'm kind of sentimental about Giada--the pie plate I used for my first pie was from her) and is a twist on the classic pound cake, adding ricotta and citrus. I swapped the butter for vegetable oil, to make the cake slightly lighter and to let the flavor of ricotta shine through, and reduced the amount of baking powder by a lot. The original amount called for was way too much, and a lot of the recipe reviews complained that the cake either spilled over or sunk when it was taken out of the oven. (Oh, and I made it a one-bowl recipe, because that's how many mixing bowls I own in college).
It's always exciting to get recipe recommendations from people and see how they turn out; this cake is flavorful and dense, sweet and slightly tart. In addition to feeding hungry college students, it's perfect for breakfast, an afternoon snack, or a casual dessert. It's a classic cake and a great lemon loaf recipe, a necessary addition in any baker's repertoire. (Thanks, Starbucks).
Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease a 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan with vegetable oil.
Beat together the eggs, sugar, vegetable oil, and ricotta until smooth. Beat in the vanilla extract, lemon zest, and salt.
Fold in the baking powder and cake flour. Pour the batter into the loaf tin and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Let cool for 15 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a cooling rack and let cool completely.
Make the glaze. Mix together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and zest. The glaze should be thick and fall into the bowl in ribbons. If too thin, add more powdered sugar; if too thick, add more lemon juice.
Pour the glaze over the cooled pound cake. Sprinkle additional lemon zest if desired.


Reading through the entries on my blog, you probably think I'm obsessed with historical sewing. I probably am. But I am more obsessed with something else, or rather, Someone else. His name is Jesus. Some of you reading my blog know all about Him. For those of you who don't, I'll give a brief introduction to who He's been to me.
He is my Refuge. Whenever I need a place of escape—when I feel overwhelmed, or upset—I go to Him. I feel it easier to be with Him when there's no one else around, but if it's not possible to leave, I talk to Him right where I am.
He is my Lover, and my Love. I need no other to love me. That doesn't mean that I don't forget this at times and want someone else's love, but it does mean that I will always know that Someone loves me. The most amazing thing is that I did nothing whatsoever to deserve this love. In fact, when He first loved me, I had made myself an enemy to Him. He still loved me, and eventually called me to Himself and taught me to love Himself.
He has been so much more to me, that I would never be able to write it all here. These three things have been the most important in my life, and I know that He has been other things in other peoples lives. The one thing that I know for a fact is that YOU need Him, and the things that He can provide you with. If you've already found Him, I rejoice with you. If you have not, know that I am praying that you might.

Q: DC Op-Amp Output at an unexpected voltage? For some reason Op-Amps are impossible for me. I'm experimenting with them a little bit. I have the following circuit...

simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab
This is the circuit I have on my breadboard. I was just trying to see the "infinite gain" I would expect from this configuration.
The inverting input is around 4.5v, while the non-inverting input is at ground. I should be achieving my maximum potential (Limited by the power rail.) I.E. around 9V at the output, but I'm recieving .6v?

A: You've connected your inputs backwards. A higher voltage on the non-inverting input produces a more positive output. You put the higher voltage on the inverting input, so the op amp output goes as low as it can. In this case, that's close to ground.


Tea tree is a plant that is only found indigenous to Australia, and which has long been used by the Aborigine tribespeople, largely for its anti-septic qualities. British explorer James Cook named the plant "tea tree" when he saw native Australians making a brew out of the leaves. Its uses were largely disregarded worldwide, until Australian state chemist Arthur Penfold published papers suggesting the anti-septic qualities were quite profound.
Since then the healing properties of tea tree oil have been put to good use throughout the world, and the recent revival of essential oil use has seen its commercialization, making it cheaper and more accessible than ever before. It is often found in skin and hair care products, as a natural addition to the active ingredients list, though it can be used as a raw essential oil. Tea tree can not be ingested, and doing so can cause irritation, and sickness.
The primary benefits of tea tree oil are the powerful anti-septic and anti-fungal qualities that it contains. It can also help to fight skin infections, and has an anti-biotic effect, as well as serving as a moisturizer. The uses of tea tree oil are vast, which is why it has become known for its versatility as a heal-all oil, at least when it comes to skin. There are many other applications of tea tree oil.
Given the immensely beneficial ant-septic qualities of tea tree, the oil can be applied on small cuts and wounds. Applied to rough or sunburnt skin, the oil will sooth as well as heal. Tea tree is very effective against spots, and especially acne, and can be applied to the skin either straight, or diluted if you are sensitive to it.
Bacterial and fungal infections are also no problem for the wonder oil, which can help to fight conditions such as athlete's foot, warts, ringworm, psoriasis, insect bites, rashes, and itchiness. Given the moisturizing properties, tea tree oil can also be applied to dry skin.
Tea tree oil is also great for your hair, and can be applied any time that you have a dry and itchy scalp, or dandruff. You can add it to your shampoo, or apply a small amount as an oil.
Although tea tree oil cannot be directly ingested, it can be inhaled in vapor, and breathed in during aromatherapy, and provides relief from chesty coughs and pains, and can treat colds and toothache, aswell as being great for the skin.
An unusual, but quite well known use for tea tree oil, is in cleaning. A little drop can be used to sterilize your toothbrush, and you can add it to your toothpaste, or even swill it with water around your mouth, to disinfect, and freshen your breath.
To make an all-purpose cleaner, simply add tea tree oil to water, at a ratio of 2 teaspoons of oil per 2 cups of water. Pour the mixture into a spray bottle for ease. This can be used to remove mold, mildew, mustiness, and germs from your home. Spray and clean as normal.
Tea tree makes a great insect repellant, and the strong smell will have ants run a mile, and mosquito leave you well alone. If you do get bitten, the tea tree is instantly soothing anyway. Another great application is for the removal of fleas from your pet, or lice from your own hair. Add some to shampoo to kill off the pests. Have you ever had a tick stuck in your skin? Horrible. A little splash of tea tree will usually have the little blighter unhook.
Tea tree oil is an extremely potent essential oil for external use, mostly for healthy skin. Due to the wide amount of uses for the versatile oil, there is no reason not to keep a bottle to hand. Skin, hair, chest, insects, and even cleaning! That is what makes tea tree oil the wonder oil that it is.

It's stated in CouchDB The definitive guide that this is possible, but it doesn't show how.

Admins can create and delete design documents despite the existence of this extreme validation function.

A: The guide is refering to design documents not to normal content documents. So Admins are retricted by the same validation functions that the rest of users.

The Champion 2YO in South Africa last year, Epaulette colt Soqrat added a third Group I win to his tally when taking out the Group I HF Oppenheimer Horse Chestnut Stakes at Turffontein in South Africa on Saturday.
Taking on older horses at weight-for-age over 1600 metres, the Mike de Kock trained Soqrat was sent out favourite and scored by the best part of a length and has now won five of nine starts with four placings.
A homebred for Sheikh Hamdan's Shadwell Stud that was foaled and raised in the Hunter Valley at Yarraman Park, Soqrat is the second winner for Hussonet (USA) mare Elzeeza, a daughter of stakes-placed Lunasong from the family of Group I HK Chairman's Prize Sprint winner Lucky Bubbles and Group winners Gunnison, Colorado Claire, Selenium and Moonovermanhattan.
Elzeeza has a yearling colt by Snitzel and will foal again to the same sire this spring after missing to Not a Single Doubt the year before.

I guess it is fitting that I close out the year with some comments that you will read on New Year's Day. So here goes.
We last met in the sanctuary on March 14, 2020. We sat apart from each other, and we didn't parade with the Torah. The olim did not go up on the bimah, and the gabbaim did not go up on the bimah. We did not go downstairs for Kiddush.
The first Zoom service was March 21, and we have been doing Zoom services ever since. We celebrated Pesach with a Zoom seder, and we celebrated the High Holy Days on Zoom. The High Holy Days were attended by upwards of 90 devices; we normally get, at the peak, about 200 people in the sanctuary, but under the circumstances, the High Holy Day services were well attended. I thank the Task Force for organizing and running the High Holy Day services.
We have been averaging about 20-25 people on Shabbat on Zoom. That's a lot of people, considering that we do not interact with each other and we are not in our sanctuary. That's a testament to the love that we have for Ahavas Sholom and for each other. I thank all who participated in the services during 2020, and I thank you all for just showing up.
We had (or have) three classes: the Hallelujah Psalms, Hallel (ongoing), and Introduction to Judaism (ongoing). Jeff organized the Hanukkah party, which was well attended under the circumstances. The toy-donation drive (in lieu of actual toys) was successful. And Jeff stepped in to deliver the newsletter and to be the technical gabbai every week.
When we return to the sanctuary we will find a sanded floor, painted walls, and new seats, thanks to Joan, Eric, Len, and the building committee. The kitchen committee is continuing to do their work. And Eric is checking up on the building almost every day
We have continued our Face Mask Project, under the leadership of our Executive Assistant, Chris Piatkowski, whose inspiration and commitment has brought us to the "10,000 mask" threshold. These masks have been donated to community organizations in Newark and surrounding communities.
We were lightly touched by Covid-19. Few of our congregants got sick (as far as I know), fewer were hospitalized, and I think we had no deaths. Considering what we say on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur (who by plague), we got away comparatively unscathed.
Who knew in March that our lives would be turned upside-down? Many months will pass until we return to our sanctuary, but we will return. The vaccines are available, and it is only a matter of time when the bulk of the population is vaccinated. Maybe we shall share our community seder together, and if not, we will find a different way to celebrate a return to normal life.

Its good to have friends willing to kick the tires on my convention games and a regional association that welcomes us to join in their quarterly Table Top Games days.
Today 6 of them and I played a version of my 1914 game. From intro to end of game lasted about 4 hours, maybe a titch more and reached a conclusion after some 8 of 15 possible turns including some heated fighting and heavy losses.
The Germans took a big chunk of the primary objective, the hill, but again lost it to a counter attack. On the woods in the far North the French were finally wiped out but at a high cost and a counter attack by the armoured car broke the back of the flanking attack. On the other flank there was a prolonged long range duel which ended with the beginning of a French counter attack.
In short, it was Good but it can be Better!
After 3 hours and about 8 out of 15 turns, I called the game as the defending French began a pursuit.
The available table was around 5'x7' or about the same size as many of the Huzzah tables. I was able to lay out my 5'x6' (+ variable border) cloth with a few inches of bare table on either for paraphernalia. I always used to try and cover the table completely for scenic effect but I am starting to appreciate the practical uses of on table/off game-mat space and there was easily room today for more units than 3 players per side can handle in a 4 hour game slot and certainly room for a 4th player so I may plan for a 5'x6' battlefield for Huzzah.
The game slot at Huzzah is 4 hours and that has to include the rules and scenario briefing. I played all 15 of the planned turns but today we reached a conclusion 1/2 way through the game.
What I do need to do for Huzzah is to strengthen the attacking army and spread the objectives out or else find a way to get the game to play faster and that brings us to the rules.
Set up in progress.

When I resurrected the 1914 campaign I instinctively brought back 2 rules from that era of Square Brigadier: rolling for numbers of available orders each turn, and a Pin rule. Both of these had been dropped from my late 19thC rules after an intense internal debate. The last game had me wondering if that had been a mistake. This game confirmed that suspicion and my first act on getting home was to repeal them.
Both rules slowed the game without adding anything really useful although they appear to reflect the command structure on one hand and the reaction of troops to heavy fire on the other.
The 19thC rules I have been using assume that if a Commander is there then he is doing what he is supposed to be so I only test isolated units which is a big time saver and ends up having similar effect.
The voluntary pin rule allows a player to, cancel one hit in exchange for not shooting or moving that unit. In effect it made fire feel ineffective even though it wasn't for the defender and meant that less bold attacking players took that option too often thus had trouble making any headway. Its something that has to be learned but my years of GM'ing convention games tell me that few players will have time to learn the lesson during one convention game and rather than increasing "realism" it really just makes the game slower.
The alternative which I normally use is to allow a unit with multiple hits to try and remove one hit instead of shooting or moving. It has the same practical effect as the voluntary pin rule as heavy fire will usually stop an attack cold but it is less likely to be abused since it is an immediate choice of a chance of saving vs an immediate chance of shooting or moving as opposed to a guarantee of a cancelled hit now in exchange of not moving or shooting at some later point.
The new, slightly more complex, artillery rules also served largely to confuse everyone including me and have been trimmed back.
This puts things back to the well tested version and I feel like slapping myself up the back of the head for talking myself out of making the change before the game.
Jeff's counter attack secured the main objective.Photo courtesy of Jeff of the Armchair Commander blog.
So far so good. With the rules in hand I need to turn my attention to reinforcing the German side by adding two battalions of infantry, a few squadron of Uhlans and another field gun and the Allied side by adding the 2nd half of the British Battalion and a British squadron as well as the French heavy gun.

I like that "voluntary pin" rule though the time constraint you have at the convention does negate it - good for a solo game though.
The Rally is basically the voluntary pin but with a dieroll instead of automatic success.


Students started off art club for this year by learning the complex folds of origami.
Our elementary school art department is studying Eastern Asian countries this year. We thought that we'd stick to our theme and dive into some complex math skills and discover the art of origami. We all have a new appreciation for those who do this all the time. .
If you visit us on Community Art Day you will see our lovely art pieces as your table decorations. Please let the students know how much you appreciate their work. They had a lot of fun making them.


The veteran Rathlin, now 11, proved that age is no barrier to success when pulling off a four-length victory over Monbeg River in the two-mile handicap chase at Ayr for his ninth career win, including the G2 Nas Na Riogh Novice Chase in Ireland.

The Devil Makes Three are set to return with Chains Are Broken on August 24th via New West Records. The 11-song set was produced by Ted Hutt (Gaslight Anthem, Flogging Molly) and recorded at Sonic Ranch Studios in El Paso, TX. Chains Are Broken is The Devil Makes Three's first album of original material since 2013's acclaimed I'm A Stranger Here, which debuted on the Billboard Top 200. The new album follows their acclaimed 2016 collection of covers, Redemption & Ruin, which heralded the groups second #1 bow on the Billboard Top Bluegrass Albums Chart. Instead of their traditional revolving cast of collaborators in the studio, The Devil Makes Three stuck to its signature power trio of Pete Bernhard, Lucia Turino, and Cooper McBean – with one addition. This time, they invited touring drummer Stefan Amidon to power the bulk of the percussion and his presence remains most amplified as the band seamlessly translated the spirit of their must see live show into a studio recording. Rolling Stone Country premiered the first music from Chains Are Broken with the song "Paint My Face" today. They state, "'Paint My Face' reflects the extra rock & roll edge that Amidon, the band's touring drummer, brings to the equation, as the song is a crunchy shuffle with a quivering, cascading electric guitar line." They continue, "Despite its somewhat sinister tone, 'Paint My Face' is as much a song about rebirth, both spiritual and creative, as it is about death." Chains Are Broken will be available on compact disc, across digital retailers, standard black vinyl, as well as a limited edition cream & navy blue split colored vinyl LP available at Independent Retailers.

Baptist Health Care CEO Mark Faulkner brought the real meat to the table at the 2015 legislative delegation luncheon hosted by the Greater Pensacola Chamber of Commerce.
In a room full of movers and shakers, where the talk about jumpstarting the economic climate was all the rage, Faulkner put the hard truth out there.
In deaths from Alzheimer's disease, stroke, cardiovascular disease, cancer and a host of other issues, we lead other metropolitan areas in Florida.
We smoke too much, we are overweight, we are asthmatic, we have higher STD rates and teen births. We use the emergency room too frequently for things that aren't emergencies, because too many of us don't have access to primary health care.
"And those statistics are people whose lives are cut short and whose potential isn't realized," he said.
In the Pensacola area 1 in 5 of us lack health insurance, and of those, 75 percent have jobs, but don't have access to health insurance through work.
When you want to know what holds us back as community, read those paragraphs again.
Florida had the chance for $50 billion to extend health-care coverage to those who need it, but didn't take it, Faulkner said.
He asked his lawmakers to consider the A Healthy Florida Works coalition, which accepts $50 billion in Affordable Care Act money, but ties coverage to things like an applicant's job status or participation in job training. Read more here.
The Pensacola Chamber has joined the coalition of business professionals supporting the measure. Faulkner said it would allow 43,000 people in the Pensacola metropolitan area to get the health insurance they need.
Healthy people miss less work. They cost their employers' insurance plans less. They have better lives, contribute more to their community.
That's some real food for thought for the folks in Tallahassee.

Miraculously earn enough money that would sustain the lifestyle you truly want?
If your answer to the question above is 'Yes', then you'll need a strategy behind the plan for the plan to come to life.
Is a plan and a strategy the same thing?
A plan outlines the steps to take, while a strategy gives the steps to use. In other words, plans tell you how something will be done and strategy is more about why something is being done. So the blogging plan mentioned earlier would need to be part of a strategy.
Coming up with a blogging strategy requires knowing why you want to create a blog and will incorporate all aspects of owning and running a blog.
Here you'll boil down what your blog is about in as few words as possible. You can liken this to an elevator pitch as it needs to be concise.
Doing this serves multiple purposes as it can be used for advertising copy, giving employees clarity on what direction to take and as already mentioned, it can be used as your elevator pitch.
Knowing who you are targeting is important. To help with this, a persona can be created for your ideal visitors.
This is another way of saying, know your competition. Knowing who these people are really does help when it comes to understanding what your readers want.
What outlets, i.e. social platforms, are you going to use to spread the word about your blog and blog posts.
The most obvious method is to use the social platforms your competitors and target audience are on.
This one is a tough one because sometimes we follow our gut more than the numbers. Having a set of performance indicators is essential with any plan or strategy as they give a barometer of how well things are going.
The other thing to do is to set a target number for each of these. That way if any of the indicators starts to fall behind where you want to be, that becomes an area to work on improving.
Knowing the different ways to derive an income from a blog and selecting the ones you want to use.
Once the blogging strategy is in place, plans can be developed.
By knowing the purpose of your blog, your target audience, who your competitors are, how you'll be promoting, monitising and the metrics you will be working towards, makes coming up with and implementing a plan easier.
You'll know what type of blog posts to write and where to promote it in order to drive traffic. Those that come to the site will make purchases and your plan becomes a success.
A strategy and a plan are two different things, even though it is often thought of as the same thing.
A strategy looks at the big picture way, while a plan is about implementation. The difference between the 2 is akin to working in and working on your blog.

Obama won majority of younger voters
Polling data indicates younger voters overwhelmingly favored Barack Obama over John McCain. "Young voters" are classified as the 18- to 29-year-old crowd and that group accounted for 18% of the votes cast in this year's election.
Iowa State University political science professor Dianne Bystrom says youth turnout in 2004 was 17%. "They did increase their share of the electorate but just by one percentage point because everybody got out to vote," Bystrom says. "The other thing we know is that 66 percent of young voters voted for Barack Obama."
In the Reagan era, back in the 1980s, a majority younger voters chose Republican candidates according to Bystrom. "I'm not sure we're at the cusp of a liberal era," Bystrom says, "but we can say that young voters are registering Democratic and they're voting for Democratic candidates not only for president, but also for congress."
Bystrom, the head of I.S.U.'s Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics, says Sarah Palin — the first Republican vice presidential nominee — may have helped McCain win the votes of some women. "Women that are usually defined by the media as 'soccer moms' or 'security moms'. Those are usually white, suburban women with children. They tend to vote Republican. They voted for George Bush in 2000 and 2004. The last time they voted for a Democrat was in 1996 for Bill Clinton," Bystrom says. "That's a group that (Palin) may have helped deliver for McCain, but it wasn't enough."
Bystrom says Palin also energized the social conservative base of the Republican Party, but that wasn't enough either when confronted with the gains Obama made among other groups of voters.
