Colorado Kush by Sky High Gardens
Colorado Kush by Sky High Gardens
Welcome back to toasted n' posted where we purvey the dankest strains that the state has to offer! Today, we will be embracing a garden who has been around for a minute but are far from finished. Sky High Gardens provides the utmost care to their plants: from glass curing to the proper water-only flush at the end of the cycles, these guys take their field seriously. Pun intended. This bizarre strain known as Colorado Kush is new to me, fortunately we know it is a child of The White and Flo. I've never had the pleasure of crossing paths with Flo in its purest form, however, I have read about it in several strain books. The White, on the other hand, is one of the meanest, hashiest, frostiest beasts you can encounter in the indica realm. I'm beyond stoked to dive into this indica dominant grace from another place!
I am drawn in by the gravity of the sweet, sour earthen musk. Puckering herbs snake around the sweet canes causing my toes to curl. The suspenseful build is released into a dispersed floral citrus. I receive muddied kisses of pulverized orange under a field of hashy greens. The tender airborne citrus is delicately strewn about a lingering hoppy dank. The savory earth demonstrates a light playful finish of lemon fused with eucalyptus. Each breath is matched with a soothing and cleansing release. A simple whiff of this herb causes my mind to decompress.
In hopes of invoking some hidden belligerence in the profile, I destroy the largest bud under my nose. As I peel back the sticky layers, the sleeping giant emerges. The profiles morphs to churn out willful waves of a smoky, gritty, tang. The unwieldy sting brings me back to a world of hashy resurgences. I lap up mounds of cool mud decorated with a syrupy afghani kiss. These weighted hillocks are chained to the violent nuances in the bright herbal rockets. Herbal spikes lay adrift like depth charges, innocuously bobbing beneath the milky sweet mud until you dare antagonize them.
While Colorado Kush pulls my nose in several directions, the body as a whole is extremely satisfying. Prolonged company in the presence of Colorado Kush causes me to salivate. I smack my tongue as I reminisce upon meaty memories. I enjoy phantom licks of beef jerky as I enjoy the profound heartiness of this fragrance.
I'm unsure of which region of Colorado this strain originated in, but my guess would be Boulder because these are some enormous nuggets. Chipping off of mountainsides are these rich nuggets of crystal coated verdancy. At first glance, the filled out flower seems to have no available space and unflinching density. I test its propensity to find that the seemingly rock solid nodes actually give with a refreshing squish. Like a school of trichome encrusted fish, it is merely an illusion of decorated density. While the flowers aren't rock solid, the bud structure of Colorado Kush is packed tight, every crack is flooded with bulging verdancy.
The buds build into long calyxes, falling somewhere between the classic Kush phenotypes and a chicken tender. The reaching and portly partners demonstrate an array of gloomy hues. A majority of the flower is depicted by a writhing sea of shadowy greens, some are so dark I can't dismiss the thought that they may be an awkward shade of purple. Flexible olive and stern pear speckle the exterior of the nugs, weaving the subtle contrast of their overcast colorations throughout the body of Colorado Kush. Ridges of tanned trichomes roll over each petal, forcing a brilliant highlight against the somber flesh. Adding to the glistening defiance are the willful nests of hairs nuzzled into the dark nooks of Colorado Kush. Bulky, long hairs spawn in tight camps with broad arms reaching out menacingly like a sea anemone. I must hope I don't stare too long that I become a victim to the enchanting draw of the fuzzy tendrils.
Leaf to flame, my pallet is boiled over by a light, spicy, pine reduction. The seething oil is soaked in a satisfying afghani relief. I feel as if I can sink my teeth into a sugar-soaked hillside. Candied blades of grass graze my tongue as I chomp into Gaea's backbone. I embrace a hardy, smoky, woody, foulness. The kickback was like a nutty spin on a strained skunky spatter. Falling out from the aggressive spike are crumbles of spicy, smoky, granola. The flower blossoms to encompass a soft, sweet, fuzzy, candy distinct from the initial sugar. The secondary sweetness is similar to raw chocolate; a natural sucrose buried under levels of earthy cocoa grit.
The high takes a moment to set in, but it begins with a pinpointed rise in my forehead. An invisible excitement builds accompanied by a modest pressure. At capacity my braced skull was flooded with inspiration. The tenacious tide brought clarity and confidence to all of my thoughts, no matter how benign. Every worldly sentiment seemed worthy of pondering. Colorado Kush ensures me that I will act as the man I want to be today. I feel a muse of self-respect perched on my shoulder as I walk in the enlightening graces of this high.
Subsequently, I feel a concrete weariness advance over my eyelids, weighing them down into a defeated stance. I feel that I must look like Forrest Whittaker. My brain rocks blindly atop a sea of skewed clarity. Intently inspecting any subject that drift near it. For a kush, I find that this high delivers an unruly sense of focus. That being said, the same 'unruliness' also promotes a body high that quickly wears down your will to act. As I am padded by the pillowy reaches of Colorado Kush, storm clouds begin to obscure my sea of prophecy.
I chase these wild visions until I find one is appealing. I ponder the fine details as I am massaged into incapacity by the heavenly symbiosis. It isn't long before I become a prisoner of distant desires. It is important to grasp these inspirational whims while they are available. If you linger in the sedating pool for too long, you get bogged down by anchors of euphoria. I am now shackled to my chair by ghostly chains with no hopes of changing the world today. I only hope that I can recover in time for work!
Once I had succumb to the more indica smitten characteristics, I felt as if literal stones were being stacked in my skull. I knew it wasn't long before my neck was bound to crumble, I had to find a pillow quickly. The motivational drive of the onset is quickly disparaged by the true motives of Colorado Kush. While spurring the wheels of ingenuity for a short while was satisfying, I find this body high is one comparable to what bears must feel during hibernation. The high is long-lasting and clean with virtually no drawbacks or diminishing traits.
Wow, what a stunning introduction to Sky High Gardens. Big ups to Colorado or whoever designed this strain. I really dig the profile and how it shifts into a delightful hash at the touch of a flame. This high will also put you in the ground, I am still whirring in my chair. "Rocky, can you go another round?" If this is any indication of how good your other strains are…I am in for a treat. Dare I say, a Dutch Treat? *winky face* Stay tuned for tons of reviews in the coming weeks! As always thanks for reading.
Colorado Kush Total Score: 94/100
Stay high and stay blessed,

Sleep, sleep, sleep — we spend one third of our lives in a state of sleep, so we know that sleep is important. That said, a good night's sleep can be hard to come by if you're dealing with too much stress, over-caffeinating too late in the day, or staring at a blue screen before going to sleep. But, if your sleep environment isn't comfortable, you're already putting yourself at a disadvantage. That's why prioritizing your sleeping comfort should be a key step in establishing a healthy sleep bedtime routine. And, while much has been made over choosing the right mattress for your sleep habits, finding the perfect pillow is just as important for comfortable sleeping as a mattress.
Of course, you need to consider a wide range of factors when you're pillow-shopping: What sleep position do you prefer — back, stomach, or are you a side sleeper? Or, are you one of those mythical combination sleepers? Do you run hot or cold while sleeping? Are you allergic to goose down or feathers? Everyone's individual sleeping preferences will differ slightly, but there's more than likely a pillow that meets your expectations for what a comfortable pillow should be, whether that's a foam pillow, gel pillow, water pillow, latex pillows, support pillow, body pillow, contour pillow, or simply a pillow for neck pain. Many, there are so many types of pillows! It's just a matter of wading through all of your bed pillow options, which seem to expand every day. That good night's sleep could be right around the corner.

We've rounded up some of the best bed pillows available online at the moment, featuring their more technical specs and input from enthusiastic internet reviewers, plus our recommendations for whose needs they'll likely suit best.
Best pillow for keeping cool
Cosy House Bamboo Pillow
Cosy House Collection
With two layers of supportive foam and an antibacterial, cooling bamboo case, Cosy House's shredded foam pillows are made to relieve some of the greatest sleeping woes, namely overheating and uncomfortable pressure points. The relatively firm construction helps the pillow maintain its shape while sleeping, but the shredded memory foam pillow fill in its bottommost layer is removable, which allows users to customize its density. "This is one heavy pillow and I kept removing the filling until getting it just right," one reviewer wrote, adding that, when filled to capacity, the pillow may be a little too big and firm for some users' sleeping position comfort.
For others, it was the foam pillow's breathable and cooling properties that sold them: "The most comfortable pillow I have ever had. Keeps me cool, I sleep so soundly," one wrote. "I didn't sweat as much as I usually do so I would say the cooling/moisture wicking worked," another noted. The machine washable bamboo cover naturally resists allergens and dust mites. You can add two bamboo pillow cases to your foam pillow order for an additional $24.

Best pillow for firmness and shape
Coop Home Goods 'The Original'
Coop Home Goods
Another best pillow with adjustable density, Coop's "Original" pillow is completely customizable and reshapable. Its fill is entirely made up of a shredded blend of microfiber and memory foam pillow, meaning users can empty and refill the whole body of the pillow, allowing them to fluff it and mash it to fit their exact sleeping needs. Although Coop states that this comfortable pillow is probably best suited for side sleepers or those who like a firmer (firmer than just foam) pillow, reviewers vouch for its versatility. "I usually sleep on my side but I sometimes sleep on my back. The pillow is great either way," one wrote.
Another pointed out that there might be a learning curve with the pillow's adjustability: "It took a few weeks to get used to the pillow and get it the right height, but I love it! It's improved my neck health." Luckily, with a 100-day return policy, you have time to tweak the fill level to your liking. This pillow also comes with a washable bamboo cover that you can use as a regular pillow case. If you're interested but still on the fence, Coop offers a quiz for customers to find the best pillow for their preferences.
The ultimate memory foam pillow experience
Nectar Pillow
This is yet another pillow with adjustable filling, but only in its outer layer — the "inner" pillow is a sturdy memory foam pillow that maintains its shape and structure. Its exterior is made of quilted foam that you can spot-clean and air-dry. In addition to its "two pillows in one" design and supportive gusset, Nectar's pillow's main selling point is its memory foam pillow fill. This comfortable memory foam pillow conforms to the user's neck, shoulders and head to provide support without caving in, striking a balance that not every memory foam pillow can claim.
CNET's Sharon Profis tested the memory foam pillow for 10 days and, after removing just a handful of filling, found it to be a comfortable option for her side sleeper position. The memory foam pillow, she noted, retains its structure and height, maintaining neck support throughout the night. Only time will tell if the foam remains uncompressed (we'll be back with an update).
Best pillow for neck support
Original Casper Pillow
Casper's comfortable pillow boasts "adaptive support" for your neck, meaning it's both cushy and springy, able to "adapt" to various customers' neck preferences making them good pillows for neck support to help you get a great night's sleep. Where the exterior is soft, its firm inner core and gusseted construction helps maintain its structure. The product of 60 test-runs on various fills, this sleeper pillow is sort of the platonic ideal in terms of density: not too firm and not too fluffy. And reviewers happily attest to its Goldilocks-esque appeal. "You can feel the quality in the weight of it and as soon as I laid down I was in love. Support and comfort that seems to wrap you up in its arms," one wrote.
Another reviewer wondered, "how one pillow can rule them all," possibly in a nod toward the fact that Casper designed this pillow with the understanding that all people shift in their sleep, whether they identify as a side sleeper or back sleeper. In other words, this comfortable pillow is in the running for overall crowd-pleaser — one downside may be the fact that you have to buy pillow cases such as cotton cover cases separately.
Good for getting rid of that crick in your neck
The Purple Pillow
Instead of a foam pillow, microfiber shavings, or even down, this comfortable pillow's fill is a one-piece polymer grid, which goes on to affect pretty much every aspect of the sleep experience, especially for your neck. This pillow keeps users' heads cool and helps prevent neck pain for a good night's sleep thanks to said sturdy, weight-distributing grid, which is designed to "cradle" the user's head, neck and shoulders, sparing them from painful pressure points. With all that in mind, this pillow is definitely on the firmer (and heavier) side, but judging by the reviews, the density is well worth it. (That said, if you like a pillow that you can fluff and mold to an exact shape, this probably isn't the pillow for you or your neck.)
"I was surprised how heavy it is but who cares. As soon as my head hit the pillow I knew this was for me. First time in a long time my neck was not in pain," one reviewer wrote, echoing another relieved user who wrote: "You know that feeling when you climb into your bed and you back relaxes? This does the same thing for my neck." If there was one consistent gripe about the Purple pillow, it's that it could be slightly thicker. And, although this pillow comes with a zip cover, Purple recommends purchasing separate pillow cases for it, as well.
Good for someone who wants a super soft pillow that won't make them sneeze
Parachute Down Alternative Pillow
Parachute Home
Available in comfortable soft, medium and firm densities, this pillow is filled with superfine microfiber that emulates the best qualities of a regular down pillow — just without the allergies. For added allergy protection, you can purchase Parachute's washable, cotton pillow protector. Fluffy, soft and pleasantly warm (due to its down-like filling), this pillow has been praised by side-, stomach- and back-sleepers alike for its lightweight feel and down-like "squishiness." Like a down-filled pillow, Parachute's pillow can be fluffed into a comfortable shape for each sleeping position.
"Soft and comfortable," one reviewer wrote. "I cannot believe it's not down." One even compared it to sleeping on a cloud (which certainly paints a picture of how soft it is), while another said it quickly and easily fluffs back up after a night's sleep. If you've been considering making the switch from feathers to synthetic fills, Parachute's soft down alternative may convert you.
Good for someone who likes sleeping on a pile of bed pillows
Snowe Down Alternative Pillow
Snowe Home
Snowe's down alternative offering is also hypoallergenic and ultra-plush, is available in three density options and comes with a washable sateen cover. According to this enthusiastic reviewer, the fill is beyond convincing in how it replicates the feel of regular down: "The alternative down used in these pillows is like magic. Maximum compression but they always puff back up. Auto-fluffing pillows!"
Snowe's site helpfully notes that a stomach sleeper will be more comfortable for the softer version, while a side sleeper will be more comfortable with something firmer for a good night's rest. And if you're unsure which density to select, go firmer rather than softer. Where many reviewers appreciated the height and density of these bed pillows, others noted that they may be on the thinner side: "Great texture, but could be a little more fully stuffed/firmer. Would prefer to use one, but find myself using two."
Good for someone who, when they say they like a 'firm' pillow, they really mean it
Brooklinen Mid-Plush Down Alternative Pillow
Not only is this pillow vegan, allergen-free and available in a variety of sizes and densities, it also has the longest trial period (365 days) of any product on this list. So, if you take a while to adjust to a change or just believe that a pillow must be "broken in" to know its true strengths, you have plenty of time to make your final decision. And, if you aren't a firm pillow fanatic, that extra-long trial period may come in handy.
According to some, there's a chance that this pillow may be a little too firm: "I went back and forth between plush and the next firmer style. The plush is more than firm enough. If your [sic] on the fence, you might want to take that into consideration." Others said that their pillows softened up after a few weeks of use, while self-described side-sleepers said they took to the pillow's firmness right away. You can purchase a pack of two corresponding pillow cases separately, for $44.
Best for someone who wants a cushy night's sleep without breaking the bank
DreamNorth Pillow
Sold on Amazon in packs of two with a machine washable cover, DreamNorth's soft pillows are easily the most cost-effective choice on this list. That said, their breathability, down-free fluffiness and supportive gel pillow fiber fill could keep them from feeling "cheap." Described as "ultra-soft," these pillows are probably not the right choice if you're looking for something particularly firm, but their softness almost makes their ability to retain their shape more impressive.
"They came vacuum sealed and squished flat but as soon as you take it out of the package they fluff up like marshmallows and stay that way. I've only noticed some slight, very slight flattening in the 4 months I've had them," one reviewer wrote. Others noted the pillows' fluffiness but added that they didn't have to sacrifice any amount of neck support for how soft they were, either: "I highly recommend these pillows if you are [prone] to waking up with neck aches or headaches, because the pillow conforms nicely to give you the support you need while being soft enough to make you comfortable."
Good pillow for someone who believes high-quality down is worth every penny
The Luxe Pillow
Luxe Pillow
It's right there in the name. This $129 pillow filled with high-quality, sustainably sourced goose down and waterfowl feathers is undoubtedly luxurious. Where the goose down offers fluff, the waterfowl feathers provide support — and both materials are hypoallergenic and Responsible Down Standard-certified. This combination means the pillows are made with any sleeping position in mind, which some customers have put to the test. "I love this pillow," one reviewer wrote. "It helps me sleep in any position, on my back, stomach or side."
Providing that you like a down pillow and the squishiness that tends to accompany that variety of fill (much like what many higher-end hotels outfit their beds with), this pillow could very well worth the price (the fact that it comes with a washable cotton damask case helps somewhat). Or, as one reviewer put it: "Honestly, if you are debating on paying for an expensive pillow, just answer this question: which is more expensive, a chiropractor, masseuse, and a quarterly doctor visit for a monthly prescription medication to treat tension headaches, or this pillow?"

The Street Memorial Project (NYC)
In 2007, the Street Memorial Project, a joint effort from Visual Resistance, Transportation Alternatives, and Time's Up! was established to honor pedestrians killed on NYC streets. An outgrowth from the Ghost Bike movement, a plaque is usually placed at the site indicating: date of the fatality, manner of death, and age of the victim.
Please join the 3rd Annual Ride, Walk and Rally to Remember this Sunday to honor those who were killed riding a bike or walking in NYC this past year.

As parents, we are our children's first theology teachers. Like the women at the tomb on Easter morning, we run fearfully and joyfully to tell the people we love, "The tomb is empty! Christ has risen." With hope-filled hearts, we teach our children about the living Lord.
God has ordained a means for teaching our children how to love him—and not primarily by sending them to AWANA, or buying another picture Bible, or using the right curriculum. Learning about God begins with wonder, and worship is our great goal. Teaching our children theology is as simple as having conversations with God and conversations about God "when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise" (Deut. 6:7).
We have conversations with God by reading his Word, giving thanks and praise, and praying to him. In our family, we have conversations about God as we go about our daily routine—sharing meals, walking outside, and perhaps most delightfully, reading books.
Book Adventures
Every new book is a new place, a new journey into new worlds. My husband is our courageous captain. He navigates our ship through the shining seas of Bunyan, Lewis, and Tolkien. These days, we are on an excursion in a dragon's lair.
Theology, like food, tastes better when one is hungry. Young sailors are often hungry for definitions and explanations, while being full of questions and interruptions. When our captain recently explained various heretical views of the Trinity, our living room roared with laughter. I didn't know that was possible.
Before the current days of chapter books, however, there were years of shorter adventures in picture books. These too held truths and metaphors helpful for understanding the things of God.
Illustrate and Illuminate
The following picture books aren't theology books. They should be enjoyed for their clever plots and likeable characters. But they can also illustrate biblical concepts. Through conversations, these picture books may illuminate truths about God in unexpected ways.
The Runaway Bunny by Margaret Wise Brown
Mother bunny gives us a great picture of God's steadfast love and faithfulness. The Lord never leaves us or forsakes us. He is faithful to pursue us when we run away. He is the fisherman who fishes for us and the "tree we come home to." His sovereignty is like the wind that blows us where he wants us to go. The little bunny is a lot like Jonah, the runaway prophet. But unlike Jonah, we see the bunny repent.
What Do You Love? by Jonathan London
The question "What do you love?" echoes Jonathan Edwards's Religious Affections. Parents can help our children to see that the child in the story loves his mommy not for "park slides and piggyback rides." Rather, he enjoys these good things because he is with his mommy. The nature of true religion is to find our greatest happiness in Christ, not merely his gifts.
Sam and Dave Dig a Hole by Sam Barnett
This book hilariously illustrates double-mindedness. As Sam and Dave dig down, down into the ground they miss enormous chunks of diamonds because they keep changing their minds about which direction to dig. Let us pursue the Lord single-mindedly!
The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear by Don and Audrey Wood
"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy," or where a big hungry bear might break in and steal. Our hearts are bound up with our red ripe strawberries. I asked my children: What are your red ripe strawberries? How may we store up treasures in heaven instead?
Waiting Is Not Easy by Mo Willems
This book helps us think about why we need patience and serves as a lesson in eschatology for toddlers. How do we answer the question, "Mommy, when is Jesus coming again?" This humorous book gives us five surprisingly profound answers: One, a surprise is a surprise. Two, waiting is not easy. Three, it will get darker before the surprise arrives. Four, sometimes waiting feels like a waste of time. Five, it will all be worth it.
Wonder at the Light
Like John the Baptist, parents who have seen the light are called to be witnesses to the light. Reading with our children will not save them. But we can be the voices crying out in the wilderness, "Prepare the way of the LORD" (Isa. 40:3). We can look for clues to Christ and say, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!" (John 1:29).
Learning theology begins with a sense of wonder at our risen Lord. May the families of the world fall down and worship.

"By minimizing the presence of tungsten carbide in the waste stream and increasing recycling of this material, we are helping to offset any future effects of its consumption. It's better for the industry and better for the environment."
Houston, TX (PRWEB) March 28, 2013
American National Carbide (ANC) announces the completion of their expanded carbide scrap recycling facility, which now has capacity to process over one million pounds of scrap carbide per year, making the 43-year old manufacturer one of the largest recyclers of scrap carbide in the world. The addition of new, state-of-the-art equipment and major advancements in carbide recycling technology are the culmination of a two-year, multi-million dollar project that establishes ANC as a leader in the reclamation of scrap carbide.
"This expansion was a key part of our push for sustainability with respect to tungsten carbide," says D. Greg Stroud, President. "By minimizing the presence of tungsten carbide in the waste stream and increasing recycling of this material, we are helping to offset any future effects of its consumption. It's better for the industry and better for the environment." The proprietary recycling process developed by ANC produces no emissions or waste products and is able to convert 100% of the scrap carbide back into usable raw material without any loss of integrity or quality in the material.
ANC also offers a recycling program to its customers. Carbide manufacturers can have carbide scrap processed and returned to them as a usable raw material, and carbide users can redeem their scrap for credit or cash. "This new program gives our customers a way of helping the environment, as well as reducing the effect of the volatility in the tungsten market," says Stroud. "The net result is that they get raw material or finished products for a lower price, because they are obtaining value from their scrap."
ANC is one of the few carbide manufacturers in the world that also has a comprehensive reclamation process allowing it to convert tungsten carbide scrap into usable raw material. ANC buys a wide variety of "hard scrap," including carbide inserts, drilling compacts and buttons, carbide end mills and drills, wear parts, saw tips, coal mining tips, road construction tips, nozzles, PDC inserts, carbide grit, blanks, ball mill and attritor mill media, overspray from plasma spray operations, and other solid carbide scrap. It also purchases "soft scrap," such as grinding sludge (wet or dry), turnings and grindings, presintered and unsintered carbide parts, grade powder, and powder scrap.
About American National Carbide
American National Carbide (ANC) manufactures cemented tungsten carbide products for a wide range of industries, including metalworking, oil and gas, and wood processing, as well as zinc reclaim powders and ready-to-press grade powders. In addition, ANC produces all its raw materials in house, so it can formulate new grades to exact specifications. For more than 40 years, ANC has served the global market for tungsten carbide products with confidence from its Houston headquarters and worldwide distribution services.

Interviewed on Sunday AM, UKIP leader Nigel Farage MEP thinks that British Airways appears ashamed of Britain. First they dumped the Union Flag for those tailfins that Mrs Thatcher famously covered with her handkerchief. They then led calls for early British membership of the euro. Now they have suspended an employee who wears a small, silver cross. I wonder if they'll ban David 'Crusader' Beckham for travelling with them in future?
Ann Widdecombe is furious and told this morning's BBC1 Heaven & Earth show that if BA is ashamed of Christians then Christians should be ashamed of BA and boycott the airline.

Old English for (on account of) is the
source of one sense of FOR.
means "for," "for the sake of" or "in order that"
(Genesis 27:4).
FOR is placed at
the prolific and badly jumbled Indo-European root per (base of prepositions and
preverbs). Latin per (through, for, by) connects to the BH-R Hebrew
etymon above, giving us the Hebrew source of PER, PER-, PARAMOUNT, PARAMOUR,
PRO, and PRO-.
While PARA-
(beyond) is from [O]BHaR (passed over see OVER), most of the
listed prefixes at lE per mean "around" and "near." They
derive from Hebrew terms like [A]yBHeR (side), [E]ReBH (on the eve of)
and QaRoa[V] (near). Near in Swahili is karibu.
For in
Farsi (IE) takes a S-B, faal, The related English terms include BEFORE, FIRST,
FORE, FORE-, FOREMOST, FORMER, FRO, FROM, FORWARD, PARADISE (see below), PRE-,
PRIOR, PRO-, PROTEIN, PROTOEROZOIC, PROTO-, PROTON, and PROW.
APPROXIMATE, and PROXIMITY are from Latin prope (near) and perhaps
(near -- I Kings 21:2). A QaROABH is someone near, or a close relative (Ruth
2:20). A close or intimate person isban akrab in Malay.
The words
for "because" in most Indo-European languages have the various permutations of
Bhet-Resh/ BH-R seen above. In Danish and Norwegian "because" is fordi,
in Czech protoze, in German weil and in Yiddish veil. The
Italic languages add KeeY (because) to form parceque (French), porque
(Spanish, Portuguese) and Italian perche . $eeBaH (reason, motive) may
form the "because" terms in Indonesian (sebab) and Swahili
(kwa sababu). Russian (patamushto) sounds more like prefix Bet
(with), a B shifted to P, plus DT[A]ahM (reason).
The Avestan
(Old Iranian) word PARADISE (park) joins our PR and PARA- words from the
all-purpose preposition Ayin-Bhet-Resh + DS, from DeSHEh (vegetation Genesis
1:11 see SOD). A secondary etymology favoring the PRD of PARADISE is found
at FRUIT. Treatment of the so-called Indo-European etymon is at SOD.
Spanish words for FOR are para and por. Por
favor, please, uses the Ayin-Bhet-Vav-Resh pronoun twice. English FAVOR
and FAVORITE belong here, not under the absurd theoretical Indo-European root ghow-e
(to honor, revere, worship) making FAVOR a cognate of gawk. B[A](V)OOR means
forr the sake of (Genesis 8:21). Spanish has a similar favor ( favor, behalf) and por favor (please) that
uses our Bhet-Resh twice.
In Lycian
(extinct language of Asia Minor) for is hrppi. Ayin can provide an H
(see RAVEN), the P is a S-B, and this word may be an M!32 of Ayin-Bhet-Resh.

Most couples in a happy relationship have a secret. They date a lot, a lot more than their fingers and toes combined. Similarly, people who love their work, tried many jobs.
It's super rare to find a happy old couple who marry their first love. Yet, they are ones who get on the covers of the magazines, the ones that we use to write movie scripts and also the ones we're all talking about.
That is the challenges in today's culture, we are surrounded by Survivorship Bias. The ones who hit the jackpot, the couples in perfect matrimony.
It's no surprise that we are hurt. We believe and put all our trust in our first love, being the last. And when that is gone, we are left with scars and vow never to love again.
The thing is most dating advice are bad, not because they are inherently so, but because there are no glib answers. There are no answers that apply to everybody.
Perhaps dating is a process. It is a process of self-discovery, testing your boundaries, feeling for your emotions, connecting with another person, being open to be vulnerable, compromising for each other, and above all, knowing that you are capable to love and to be loved.
(As you go about learning this for yourself, it's important that you need to be upfront and state your intention. There is a human being on the other side. Don't break their hearts.)
Go ahead and junk date. You owe it to yourself and the ones you love.
(26/12/19 Update: None of my past dates is junk. Junk dating is merely a process of finding out what I want, and what works for me.)

Steve Davis says he will won't hestiate to relegate his son if needs be this Sunday.
Crewe Alexandra manager Steve Davis says Sunday's game will be 'strictly business' with his son Joe Davis possibly lining up for Fleetwood Town.
A win for Crewe Alexandra coupled with a victory for Blackpool at Peterborough United would see Fleetwood relegated to League Two.
Ahead of Sunday's final game, Steve Davis has told the club's official web-site: "Joe knows that it will be business on Sunday. It has always been that way with the family and we are always competitive and professional.
"We will treat the game like any other and we haven't spoken about it. He will want to make sure that Fleetwood win the game and we want to win back-to-back games to end the season.
"Joe is competitive and so I am, so that is the way we should be. We will got there looking to win the game and if that means Joe and Fleetwood are relegated then so be it.
He added: "It will be similar to last weekend against Doncaster Rovers and we want to win."

Tree about
In some usages, the definition of a tree may be narrower, including only woody plants, only plants that are usable as lumber, only plants above a specified height or only perennial species.
At its broadest, trees include the taller palms, the tree ferns, bananas and bamboo. Trees play a significant part in reducing erosion and moderating the climate. They remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store large quantities of carbon in their tissues. Trees and forests provide a habitat for many species of animals and plants. Tropical rainforests are one of the most biodiverse habitats in the world. Trees provide shade and shelter, timber for construction, fuel for cooking and heating, and fruit for food as well as having many other uses. In parts of the world, forests are shrinking as trees are cleared to increase the amount of land available for agriculture. Because of their longevity and usefulness, trees have always been revered and they play a role in many of the world's mythologies. Trees are an evolutionary adaptation to competition for space, by growing taller trees are able to compete better for sunlight.[24] They have modified structures that allow them to grow much taller and spread out their foliage, such as thicker stems that are composed of specialized cells that add structural strength and durability. They are long-lived perennial plants that can increase their size each year by producing woody stems. They differ from shrubs, which are also woody plants, by usually growing larger and having a single main stem;[11] but the distin
tion between a small tree and a large shrub is not always clear,[25] made more confusing by the fact that trees may be reduced in size under harsher environmental conditions such as on mountains and subarctic areas. The tree form has evolved separately in unrelated classes of plants in response to similar environmental challenges, making it a classic example of parallel evolution. With an estimated 100,000 species, the number of trees worldwide might total twenty-five percent of all living plant species.[26] Their greatest number grow in tropical regions and many of these areas have not yet been fully surveyed by botanists, making tree diversity and ranges poorly known. Wood gives structural strength to a tree stem which is used to support the plant as it grows larger.
The vascular system of trees allows water, nutrients and other chemicals to be distributed around the plant, and without it trees would not be able to grow as large as they do. The three main parts of trees include the root, stem, and leaves; they are integral parts of the vascular system which interconnects all the living cells. In trees and other plants that develop wood, the vascular cambium allows the expansion of vascular tissue that produces woody growth. Because this growth ruptures the epidermis of the stem, woody plants also have a cork cambium that develops among the phloem. The cork cambium gives rise to thickened cork cells to protect the surface of the plant and reduce water loss. Both the production of wood and the production of cork are forms of secondary growth.

I am a big proponent of dog insurance. One of my dogs had a spleen related injury and needed medical treatment that ran up to 1000's of dollars. Thankfully, I had purchased insurance a few weeks before so the total out of pocket expense, after deductions, came to only a few hundred dollars. It is very common for dogs to be given up when the owners cannot afford treatment; a sad situation that could have been avoided had the owners purchased insurance. Pet insurance is not perfect though. You must thoroughly investigate the company and their offerings before buying. Many companies have denied coverage on lame technicalities. One of the greatest drawbacks of the system is denial of coverage for certain aggressive breeds. Let us take a look at dog friendly homeowners insurance as well as insurance companies' list of aggressive dog breeds.
Dog breeds not covered by Insurance companies
According to many insurance companies, most dogs are dangerous. Some policies won't cover any injuries caused by a dog or pet. Dog injuries are number one reason why many providers lose their policies. Even one small dog injury can cost the company thousands of dollars. Some companies won't issue a policy if you have one of the following dogs – even if it is kept tied up.
1. Pit Bulls
Pit bull is a blanket term given to three types of dogs in America: The American Pit Bull terrier, American Staffordshire terrier and the Staffordshire bull terrier. If you search for the online government list of dangerous dogs' registry, you will find the list of dangerous dogs come in all kinds of shapes and sizes. However, legislatures always target Pit bulls. Different states have different ordinances for Pit bull owners. As per Denver ordinance, owners need to have a pit bull license, valid rabies vaccination, dog license, tattoo or other marking on animal, leash and muzzle (the pet must be in secure enclosure in the owner's property) and the owner must be at least 21 years of age. The owner must also maintain $100,000 in liability coverage for this animal. Some insurance companies are pet friendly and do not have restrictions. State Farm is a dog friendly home owners insurance that covers pit bulls. Other companies friendly towards pet owners and without breed restrictions are USAA and Nationwide.
2. Doberman
In March 2009, the US Army and Marine Corps prohibited Dobermans (along with other aggressive breeds)in US military housing units owning to risk of bites. Thankfully, companies like State Farm do cover owners having Dobermans. State Farm has a policy of 'No Dog Left Behind' and that all dog breeds deserve a chance. So if you are a Doberman Pinscher owner please call up State Farm for coverage related information.
3. Chow Chows
An association of liability lawyers has listed pit bulls, Chow Chows, Akitas and Rottweilers are the most aggressive dog breeds. In March 2009, Marine US Corps disallowed housing units to keep pit bulls, Rottweilers, chow chows and Akitas owing to risk of bites. Dog breeds ineligible for dog bites coverage by most insurance companies are Pit bulls, Rottweiler, Chow chows, and Akitas. Chow Chows are known to show their aggression and dominance in front of other dogs.
4. Mastiffs
Pyrenean mastiffs were once bred to fight off thieves and wolves. Therefore, this breed has a natural tendency of aggression towards strangers as well as other dogs/animals. Owners and handlers need to recognize this instinct in Mastiffs and properly channelize it to positive means. While aggression in dogs, to an extent, can come in handy, especially when they are used for guarding or watching property or flock, uncontrolled aggression can be very problematic. Aggression must never be tolerated. Sometimes, dogs become so aggressive that even family members are scared of them. Growling, baring teeth can be very difficult to handle. Aggression is a show of dominance and your mastiff should not consider itself as the alpha when it comes to its role in family. Some home insurance companies refuse to cover Mastiffs or bullmastiffs.
5. Akita
Akita is a popular Japanese breed. They are usually non aggressive till the age of 1 year after which they become aggressive and dominant. At maturity, Akitas can get aggressive towards other animals as well as strange people. The breed standard also allows aggression towards other dogs. Not all Akitas are dangerous. Remember Hachi-ko? The famous dog accompanied his master everyday to the station and would wait for him to return. One day the master never came back but Hachi continued to wait at the station every day for almost 12 years. The town then erected his statue at the station in his memory after he passed. Despite this heartwarming story, many insurance companies have blacklisted this dog breed.
6. Wolf Hybrids
These include the offspring of wolf-like dogs crossed with wolf dog breeds or even wolves. The resulting breeds resemble wolves and have all their characteristics including aggression. Alaskan Malamutes, Siberian Huskies, German Shepherds and Hierran Wolf dog, Saarloos wolf dog, Spitz, and Eskimo dogs are some of the wolf dogs that insurance companies are wary of. Speak to your insurance company if they will insure these pets. German shepherds need plenty of training and socialization to prevent over protectiveness. They have natural guard dog instincts and do not like to be left alone for long periods of time owing to the fact that they are people's dogs.
7. Rottweiler
A Rottweiler on open chain in the yard can encourage aggression. Across the country, insurance agencies are denying homeowner's insurance to Rottweiler owners. Neutering can help lessen canine aggression- an important consideration in case of a dog like Rottweiler. Rotts are by nature usually pretty mellow but they have an instinct to protect their owners. Strict socialization and training in early age can help prevent aggression towards other dogs and humans.
8. Great Danes
These are usually mild tempered dogs but many home insurance companies refuse coverage owing to their large size and the damage they can do. State Farm, Nationwide and USAA usually cover these pets.
The above is not a complete list of dog breeds that insurance companies blacklist. You can contact your home insurance company for more details. Dog friendly homeowners' insurance companies are State Farm, Nationwide USAA, Farmer's, and AMICA. Note that some of them require a waiver or rider to indemnify the company in case of bite or incidence. Some companies also demand pet evaluation. Coverage and dog breed limitations/restrictions also vary from state to state.

Catch up with … Michael Boettcher BS'06 Horticulture
You get your first inkling of the care Michael Boettcher gives the grass in Miller Park right before he steps onto it: He pauses to knock the soil off of his shoes. In the big leagues, details matter. An errant bit of soil could divert a grounder, extend an inning and maybe change the game. As grounds manager for the Milwaukee Brewers, Boettcher can't let that happen.
And he wants the field to look as perfect as it plays. No other patch of turf in Wisconsin gets as many looks as these two acres, and Boettcher has exact standards for the landscapes under his care. That began when he was growing up on his family's Jackson County farm, where taking care of the grounds was one of his favorite chores. Even though he now has a crew of 40 to maintain the 250-acre Miller Park campus, he still climbs on the mower when he gets a chance to cut those perfect crosshatched patterns. Mowing is soothing, he says, and he loves the smell of fresh-cut grass.
Boettcher got his start in pro sports through a summer internship with Gary VandenBerg, the Brewers' head groundskeeper. He loved it, and he made a good impression. Two years after graduation, the club invited him to join its landscape team and later promoted him to become VandenBerg's first assistant. When VandenBerg passed away last fall after a battle with cancer, Boettcher took over his responsibilities for the remainder of the season.
When you watch a game in Miller Park, what do you see that the fans don't?
When the ball rolls across the infield, fans watch the players to see how they'll field it. We're watching the ball, to see how it reacts as it's going from the grass surface onto the dirt on the infield to make sure there are no bumps, no irregular bounces. Players have the expectation that the ball's going to come to them as naturally as possible. That's what we try to do for them.
What was life like during the National League Championships?
I slept a lot of nights on the couch in my office. There was no opportunity to go home. We were painting logos from midnight to 4 a.m. You're given a window to get stuff done, you get it done. But adrenaline keeps you going. That's what every groundskeeper dreams of—having postseason played on their field, to be on a worldwide stage. It's a great honor, a great thrill.
Did you come to CALS with this kind of career in mind?
No, I started out in animal science. I took a class in horticulture my freshman year that gave me a chance to work in the Allen Centennial Gardens with garden director Bill Hoyt. It just opened my eyes. We were supposed to put in 25 hours of volunteer work, but for me it went way past that—I helped out at the garden whenever I could. It was awesome. I couldn't wait to get back to the gardens. The next fall I switched to horticulture.
Your internship with Gary VandenBerg was pivotal to you. Are you carrying on the tradition?
Definitely. The program Gary established has become a nationally sought-after internship. This year we're bringing in interns from Kentucky, Michigan, California and Illinois as well as one from UW–River Falls and one from Madison. I love the teaching aspect of the job. That was something that Gary preached—teach the kids who are going to take care of our fields tomorrow.This article was posted in Communities, Summer 2012, Working Life and tagged Horticulture, Michael Boettcher, Miller Park, Working Life.

Good Morning Britain's Susanna Reid gave up alcohol after doctor warned her drinking could cause skin scarsApril 14, 2019
Susanna Reid has said her decision to give up alcohol came after a doctor warned her drinking could leave her skin scarred.
The Good Morning Britain presenter went teetotal last August after suffering skin "flare-ups" and "blemishes", telling viewers she felt more energetic and better prepared for her early starts.
She told the Sunday Times she did not give up drinking because it had become a "problem" but "because a doctor told me to".
She said: "I was concerned because my skin was flushed, I kept getting flare-ups and blemishes, and they were leaving red scars.
"I'd tried all manner of creams and washes, but I knew deep down that what was happening to my skin was probably a manifestation of what I was putting into my body.
"Separately I went to see a consultant to get a troublesome mole removed. I mentioned my other skin concerns.
"He told me that dilated blood vessels are not helped by alcohol and that cutting back would help."
Reid also revealed she had been "unfaithful to sobriety" eight times, including a margarita in Los Angeles after presenting Good Morning Britain's Oscars coverage earlier this year.

With the rumored launch of Redbox's online strategy drawing closer, speculation about what form it will take and how competitive it will be with Netflix is on the rise. Forbes has analyzed the relative advantages and disadvantages of both companies, and has concluded that Redbox would have to move at "sonic speed" to catch up to Netflix in the streaming business. Here is some of their reasoning:
Redbox's Small Library
In order to compete with Netflix's library of nearly 20,000 streaming titles, Redbox will need a substantial amount of content of its own. Says Forbes:
"Redbox primarily offers newer titles, making the company's $1 rental charge a great deal for customers. but to succeed in the streaming video market Redbox will need to vastly increase the size of its library."
Netflix's Millions of Compatible Devices
Besides an enormous library of content, Netflix also enjoys a huge lead in device penetration, with more than 50 million devices in the gaming console segment alone. Just today, Apple announced Netflix compatibility with its updated Apple TV device. Other companies that Redbox could potentially partner with, such as Sonic Solutions, have nowhere near the device penetration of Netflix.
Does Redbox stand a chance if and when it dips its toe into the streaming stream, Insiders? Swing by the comments and let us know what you think.

Maranatha Baptist Church
Crucial Message
The Bible can provide you the assurance that you can be in Heaven with God and with His people forever. Consider Jesus' words to a religious man: "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" (John 3:3).
We are all sinners by nature and by choice. We have broken God's law (James 2:10; 1 John 3:4). We need to be reconciled to the One we have offended. Our sins have separated us from God, placing us under the penalty of sin, which is eternal death and damnation.
No human effort or work could ever atone for our sin. Good works, baptism, church membership, communion, or anything else like these things cannot effect a new birth. WE are saved only by God's grace, through faith in His Son, Jesus Christ, who alone is "the way, the truth, and the life" (John 14:6).
Christ died for our sins—was buried—and rose again! Faith in the finished work of Jesus is the only basis for our soul's salvation. The Scripture teaches us that "without shedding of blood is no remission" of sins (Hebrews 9:22). Salvation is Jesus Christ—and to be saved is to receive Him by faith (John 1:12). What are you depending upon at this very moment to secure your eternity with God? The Scripture says, "Now is the day of salvation" (2 Corinthians 6:2). You are urged to turn to God, placing your full trust in Him right now.
If you have made a decision to accept the free gift of eternal life in Heaven by accepting Christ as your Savior, please let us know either by attending our services or contacting us at firstname.lastname@example.com. You may also phone us at 419-368-3411.
We want to celebrate with you!

3 SB lanes of I-25 reopen near Denver after tanker fire
GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo. - The driver of a tanker truck that burst into flames outside Denver was recovering Wednesday after he jumped out of the burning vehicle and tumbled onto a highway as traffic whizzed by.
Video obtained by Denver news station KDVR-TV showed the man having trouble standing and another person running toward him and helping him away from the burning vehicle. Another witness told KMGH-TV that the driver's leg was on fire.
The fire quickly engulfed the truck and sent a large plume of black smoke billowing into the sky. Firefighters sprayed foam on it and across both sides of Interstate 25 about 12 miles (19 kilometers) south of downtown.
Investigators say the truck lost a tire and crashed into the concrete barrier in the median, but it's not clear if that ignited the fire. The driver's condition was not released.
Shailen Bhatt, executive director of the Colorado Department of Transportation, said workers will experience "a pretty snarled p.m. commute" Wednesday.
All northbound lanes near the Denver Tech Center, a group of corporate buildings that line the interstate, were expected to stay closed through the evening.
Crews have opened some southbound lanes, and Bhatt said he was "cautiously optimistic" that all lanes of the interstate will be open by Thursday morning's commute.

The Yin and Yang of Living Life Well
There is a little spot in my heart that has some negative energy that pops out every so often, but I am aware of it so I prepare myself most of the time to combat any negative thoughts, feelings or actions with some positive literature and positive living. Sometime my positive plans evolve from my window of life; looking out the window at the beauty of nature, or taking a walk in the neighborhood.
Joining together
Talking with others in my neighborhood who also walk is a good stress reduction tool for developing positive ways, and today I walked with a neighbor, talking about pleasant happenings and how different things are now that we are older and wiser. Wiser about how important it is to stay healthy, especially in your later years, and wiser about life in general and how important happiness is to living well.
Planning Your Brightness Alone
When you are alone, you can sometimes get sucked into that tiny hole of darkness thoughts and you may need a plan to not focus on those past, future or just plain negative events that may or may not even happen to you.
Being Mindful; in the moment of the here and now
My plan is mindful, present moment living; saying stop it to my mind when it moves toward those unpleasant thoughts; replacing them with some positive moments in my mind's eye like how beautiful the world is when the sun shines brightly, warming me up.
And this tiny blackness is needed sometimes because like the yin and yang of life; where there is darkness, there is always a sparkle of light.
So stay as positive as possible to avoid being sucked into the black hole of negative thinking.
It is easy to move down the path of negativity, especially if it surrounds you and you surrender to it. Others in your circle of life may be what rubs you the wrong way down your positive path. You may need to stay away from those negative people who talk of nothing besides negative happenings.
Remember that you are never alone down the path of wellness in mind, body and spirit; there is the spirit inside of you, the beauty of the spirit surrounding you as you walk along and loving friends and family who are there for you in times of need.

Asus Zenfone AR is the first smartphone with support for both VR with Google Daydream and AR with Google Tango.
Unfortunately, the Zenfone AR does not combine its AR and VR functions to provide positional tracking in the same way as VR headsets with inside-out tracking such as the Occipital Bridge. Instead it can switch to either Google Daydream or Google Tango to provide VR (with rotational tracking) or AR as needed.
The Zenfone AR uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor rather than the newly-announced Snapdragon 835 which was designed for cutting-edge VR and AR features.
The Zenfone AR is schedule for release in Q2 of 2017. Pricing has not yet been announced.

Flashes of Me
By: Cynthia Sax
Henley, the head of cyber security at Blaine Technologies, is a man no one crosses. He watches employees constantly, using his network of cameras, and enforces his rules by any means possible. Rumors of his violent past, along with his scarred hands and huge size, have resulted in his being feared by everyone … almost everyone.
Katalina, the new intern, worries about the revelation of her most painful secret much more than she fears her sexy boss's wrath. She sees the loneliness in his dark eyes, feels the gentleness in his marred fingers, tastes the need in his kisses … and she knows he watches her. His silly rules about not stripping for the cameras and no sex at the office are destined to be broken.
Kat likes to be watched. Henley can't look away. Will this beauty be able to tame her beastly boss?
My Thoughts
When Katalina begins a new job at Blaine Technologies, she is immediately transfixed by a huge, gentle giant who just happens to be the head of security. He's handsome, intelligent, and utterly bewitched her from the first minutes of their meeting. Attempting to provoke him into approaching her, Kataline realizes he can see everything she does. So Kat proceeds to entice Henley, the head of Cyber Security, as much as possible, leading to a delightful back and forth.
So I was a bit back and forth on this book. It gets very naughty pretty quickly, but once I got over the first two or three chapters, I was engrossed in the characters. Henley is such an enigma and I honestly could have read about him for a whole other book. Raw and emotional, Sax does a pretty darn good job of writing how these two completely opposite characters look at their lives in completely different ways...which in turn, make the book a quick read and an even better ending.
Note: I totally read this series out of order so I completely condone reading this book even if you haven't read the previous installments.

Following the repeal of a ban on in-flight connectivity below 10,000 feet, airlines are scrambling to propose more inexpensive ways for business travelers to stay connected on-the-go.
Delta, for instance, is rolling out an in-flight Wi-Fi Mobile Pass that costs a mere $1.95 on flights shorter than two hours. The price increases, however, according to the length of route, and is only available for use on mobile phones above 10,000 feet.
Nevertheless, $1.95 still marks a seismic price cut from the company's current rate of $14 for a full day of browsing on tablets and laptops. Delta passengers also have the option to pay $39.95 for a monthly Wi-Fi pass or $469.95 for annual usage.
Delta's offer comes fresh off the heels of Southwest Airlines' introduction late last year of gate-to-gate iMessaging for $2. Travelers with Apple devices operating iOS 5 are able to text before, during and after takeoff via iMessage -- with Android messaging apps slated to be added early this year, the company said.
When asked if Delta's deal was introduced in light of Southwest's texting initiative, a Delta spokesperson told Skift: "The travel industry by its very nature is very competitive and we're always very aware of what our competitors are doing."

I must be known as the 'weeping woman' in church for my inability to go and not cry (although I have managed a couple of services lately!).Anyway, its a really powerful song. One thats been sung a couple of times in the church Im at now since I've been there. And I've always had to leave. Just like I've always had to leave when a couple of other songs are sung. Because I've been unable to cope with the words. I've been unable to cope with what they mean. I can't open my mouth to sing them (if I'm not much else, I'm not a hypocrite, so I aint gonna sing something I don't believe) and I could not even bear to sit and listen to them. When my brain overloads or something gets too close to the bone my default reaction is to run away – hence always leaving the services.
- Where Is God In Tragedy? (oakgrovepastor.org)
In the wake of the latest natural disaster, the tornado in Moore, OK, the "explanations" for why it happened invariably start to come out again. As a pastor, as a Christian, and just as a human being, I find many of these "explanations" not only unhelpful, but downright harmful. Explanations such as God's will or punishment for sin will be thrown out there, maybe because they are so simple, maybe because folks actually believe it is God's will to kill innocent children. I remember the claims that Katrina was punishment for the sin of New Orleans, but none of those people making that claim could ever explain why homes of the poor were destroyed while the French Quarter was spared. Jesus, by the way, rejected such notions.The better and more helpful question, I think, comes when someone will ask me, "Well, if it wasn't God's will, then where was God in this situation?" I am reminded of a story told to me by one of my pastoral mentors and good friend, the late Rev. Guss Shelly.
- Tell me true, tell me why … (atpaulwaters.wordpress.com)
Because we don't care. We would rather fight and torture and kill each other than admit that we needed God. And even when we have admitted it, we have often carried on fighting and killing. Not you personally, of course. You're not like that – and neither am I. Except sometimes. Ever told a half-truth to get out of trouble? Ever thrown the charity appeal envelope straight in the waste paper without reading it? Ever got bored by all the tragic stories on the nine o' clock news?
What Jesus did when he died on the cross was to show us God's eternal pain. In fact, in some way beyond our comprehension, he actually bore God's pain, then and there. All the centuries of hate and spitefulness and petty selfishness that is human history. All that, concentrated into a few hours of human time. All that, to cry out to his tormentors – all of us – "I forgive you. I love you. What are you going to do with my love?"
- Is our Suffering God Tearing us to Pieces to Build us Back up? (chronicillnesspaindevotionals.wordpress.com)
How does one make sense of the scriptures where it says God will inflict trouble or suffering on us? Lisa shares her perspective of this in her own life of chronic illness and pain.
Someone recently gave me a kind compliment on my endurance and faith and I replied "It is called 'face-plant faith' when you are on your knees–spiritually–every moment."
He knew before we were born that our life would have seasons of joy and seasons of tears and He knew every cause of them. God is much more interested in cleaning us out than cleaning us up. He debrides us, layer by layer by layer.And it hurts. It hurts more than anything we will ever go through. But we gradually depend on less on our own strength and more of His. The layers of sin get skimmed off in the fire and yet we still do not get burned. He may withdraw His protection at times, but never His presence.

- Change Is Gone Come (thebeautywithinhim.wordpress.com)
There are times when we do not have the pleasure of being in our home and have to dwell outside with the storm at full speed. There's stituations that are so bad you feel like it is the end. You might not even want to call on God. Well here's some news. The storm might just be starting, but don't allow the storm to tell you it's over. Yeah, it may look spooky and make you want to feel a little depressed but we serve an awesome God. If you have ever walked in rain with glasses, you know the smartest thing to do is to wipe them or take them off so you can see a little better. Take off the worries and the fears you have about the storm. Allow God to be your glasses. He will show you where to go and what you need to get out of the storm. With God nothing is scary.
- Fear (peacefulwife.com)
I don't often quote Dr. Phil. But he has a saying, "What I fear, I create." This is so true!
I may be so desperate to try to get my husband to affirm me and build me up that I come across as a black hole and unending pit of need instead of being confident in Christ. I can actually make it much harder for him to love me when I make "feeling loved by my husband" or my husband into the most important thing in my life (an idol).
Fear is unbelief in God. Fear is the opposite of faith. We have fear when we are trusting ourselves not God.
Fear is not an innocent emotion – it is a theological declaration of what we believe to be true about God and ourselves. It declares to us and everyone around us that we do not trust God, we do not believe God is who He says He is and that we are not claiming God's victory, power, promises and His Word.
- 6 Ways to Worship God Outside of Church (selahfortoday.wordpress.com)
God is worthy of worship through the duration of our days. Oftentimes it's difficult to unravel how this works outside of our church attendance on Sundays. However, God has crafted our souls, designed our world, and granted us every tool necessary to worship him whenever, wherever, and basically, however.
- The Matter Of The Heart (shellykropp.wordpress.com)
Even with the things that did actually happen to me, I never really acknowledged the sensitivity of my heart. I didn't realize how much things really affected me. I thought that I was immune to them.It wasn't until recently that I discovered that my heart was overwhelmed, even hurting. This time though it wasn't due to watching a movie or a commercial it was due to people. My heart had been collecting hurtful words that were spoken to me and recording the painful actions that others had done to me. I was feeling like I was not valued, not respected, rejected, taken advantage of, not good enough, and not worth the time or effort to be with. My heart was even taking other people's hurts upon it. My heart was holding it all in, allowing hurt upon hurt, wound upon wound, to build up on the inside. Pretty soon, I began to notice that I was starting to feel angry at what people had done. Sometimes, I even felt bitter. Thus, the struggle had begun. I knew that it wasn't right to be feeling this way. I was supposed to be loving people and I didn't want to. I thought if I don't deal with this I am going to be in a world of hurt.
- Attempting to answer a difficult question (triggermanblog.wordpress.com)
While some emotion may be referenced, it doesn't control the argument, but is informed by the argument. They also avoid hypocritical points: they don't take the other's position while, at the same time tearing it down. Arguments attempt to capture the idea of one point while not misrepresenting the other's point.
Often, especially in those arguments where the God of Christianity, the God of the Bible are called into question, all of those objectives of good, logical argumentation get tossed out by one side in order to launch an attack.

We deliver whole health
A body cleanse is a way to rid your body of unnecessary toxins and give it an overall reset.
If you frequently experience issues with digestion, a cleanse can offer some reprieve by eliminating acid and alkalines for faster relief. There are also various other parts of the body that can benefit from doing a cleanse, leaving you feeling invigorated as a whole.
I will be sharing the health benefits you can expect when you do a body cleanse.
*Improve Digestive Health*
The chemicals we take in through the foods we eat and the beauty products we use can take a toll on our digestive health. By removing processed foods, a cleanse can aid the digestive process, reducing bloating and constipation. The easy-to-digest foods and the supportive supplements that are taken in during a cleanse help remove the toxins that hinder liver function and the digestive process
*Gain Control Of Cravings*
Cravings are more than a "mind over matter" situation; they can mean a hormonal imbalance. A cleanse typically includes drinking plenty of fluids, which can flush out the unhealthy foods you crave and help break the addiction to those foods. Liquids can fill you up, helping to curb hunger and subdue cravings. After time spent away from processed foods, your body will start to instead crave the healthy, wholesome options you replace them with in your diet.
*Energy Boost*
When your liver is working correctly, you will have increased levels of energy, but if it becomes overworked with breaking down too many toxins, your body will feel sluggish. Digestion alone uses quite a bit of our energy. By removing stored toxins, you can free up some of your body's energy, leaving you feeling more energized and refreshed.
*Improve Mental And Emotional Health*
Doing a cleanse can leave you feeling rejuvenated and renewed. In the beginning, you may be adjusting to the removal of certain foods from your diet, and any effects it produces. But once you complete your cleanse, you are bound to feel the positive benefits, both mentally and physically.

text: A church isn't a building. Church is a gathering of people who want to learn about and follow Jesus Christ. It's a network of relationships based upon our relationship with Christ. That means that getting to know a church means getting to know the people who make up that church. It means getting to know the God who we worship and serve. That's why we hope you'll take time to get to know us at Nazeing.

Adding Big in Free Agency Without the Long-Term Risk and Other Bullets
I mentioned yesterday that I was taking The Little Girl to the art museum, which was a lovely time. On the way home, however, we blew out a tire on an extremely busy stretch of the highway, which was kind of terrifying. Fortunately, if that kind of thing is going to happen, it happened in the best possible way to us (I had just merged and wasn't going too fast yet, and was still in the right-hand lane). I thought for a minute about changing my own tire, but decided it wasn't worth the risk with cars whipping by five feet away. So, then, thank goodness for AAA, and a helpful state patrolman who stopped to make sure everything was OK (and even offered to take The Little Girl to a nearby gas station so she could safely be picked up by The Wife).
Sometimes you never feel more lucky than when something bad happens to you, and getting out of that situation goes as smoothly and safely as possible.
- Isaac Bennett took a very interesting look at the Cubs' offseason moves thus far through a very specific lens: financial flexibility. It's a very interesting read that underscores just how impressive the Cubs' offseason has been, not just in terms of talent added, but also in terms of how little long-term risk the team took on to make the additions. Let me dwell on the big free agent moves for a moment: Consider that, given our expectation that it's very likely Jason Heyward will opt out of his deal in three years, the Cubs have in free agency added a stud outfielder, a stud second baseman/utility man, and a middle-of-the-rotation starter, and three years down the road will probably have only $12 million owed to Ben Zobrist on the books (and he might still be worth that amount as a utility man). The team looks very complete right now, but when you think about arbitration salaries that will be escalating by that point, as well as a killer post-2018 free agent class that looms, it's going to be very nice for the Cubs to be as financially flexible as possible at that point (which should be assisted by the completion of the Wrigley Field renovation project, as well as the long-term TV deal, which may have already been signed by then).
- The point: usually, when teams upgrade this significantly in free agency, there are some serious long-term financial risks associated. You can see the dark years coming eventually, but you bite the bullet for the improvement today in the competitive window. Absent a catastrophic injury to or decline by Heyward, the Cubs didn't really do that. The Cubs simply improved greatly for this competitive window, and held open the future. (AND they didn't trade away a ton of young talent to do it, either!)
- There are a bunch of Cubs-related thoughts in Dave Cameron's latest chat, including his opinion that the Cubs have clearly separated themselves from the Cardinals and Pirates in the NL Central (I'd agree, though the offseason isn't over). Cameron also mentions the Andrew Miller discussion (we talked about it yesterday, if you missed it), thinking that the Yankees would probably want someone like Kyle Hendricks, and the Cubs shouldn't make that swap, in Cameron's opinion. Given the Yankees' clear need for starting pitching, I could see Hendricks being among their targets, too – and like I said yesterday, cost-controlled, MLB-caliber starting pitching is not something the Cubs can really afford to part with right now. Lots of other interesting thoughts in that chat, even if you don't always agree.
- Javy Baez homered in Puerto Rico yesterday, added a single, and pushed his hit streak up to seven games. His line is up to .250/.339/.423 on the winter, while playing all of shortstop, second base, and center field. If he could be that guy at the big league level, while play effective defense and rotating around as needed, he would be incredibly valuable (and maybe eventually land on a starting spot, too).
- I missed this BP article on Derek Norris and pitch-framing earlier in December, but it's a really good read. I knew that catchers could get a little better over the course of several years, but Norris pulled off something ridiculous, and something that basically never seems to happen: he went from one of the worst framers in the game through May to one of the elite framers in the game by the end of the season. And framing is not a small-sample flukey thing – the article notes that it usually stabilizes in just a few weeks. As near as we can tell, Norris simply made some significant changes to his receiving style through the course of the season. Very interesting to see this case study.
- Because it took so long and because I think it's especially fun for Cubs fans, I'm going to plug the "Remember That Time" article periodically to make sure people who wanted to see it get a chance. I think most folks' reaction is something like: I knew there were a ton of incredible moments this past season, but I forgot just how many (that was my reaction writing it!).
- The latest episode of Limited Range is up.
- Whoa. It's pricey, but this Cubs display case for a bat and ball is freaking sweet (and 30% off).

Facile, Regio-and Diastereoselective Synthesis of Spiro-Pyrrolidine and Pyrrolizine Derivatives and Evaluation of Their Antiproliferative Activities
Document Type
Publication Date
A number of novel spiro-pyrrolidines/pyrrolizines derivatives were synthesized through [3+2]-cycloaddition of azomethine ylides with 3,5-bis[(E)-arylmethylidene] tetrahydro-4(1H)-pyridinones 2a-n. Azomethine ylides were generated in situ from the reaction of 1H-indole-2,3-dione (isatin, 3) with N-methylglycine (sarcosine), phenylglycine, or proline. All compounds (50 M) were evaluated for their antiproliferative activity against human breast carcinoma (MDA-MB-231), leukemia lymphoblastic (CCRF-CEM), and ovarian carcinoma (SK-OV-3) cells. N-alpha-Phenyl substituted spiro-pyrrolidine derivatives (5a-n) showed higher antiproliferative activity in MDA-MB-231 than other cancer cell lines. Among spiro-pyrrolizines 6a-n, a number of derivatives including 6a-c and 6i-m showed a comparable activity with doxorubicin in all three cell lines. Among all compounds in three classes, 6a, 6b, and 6m, were found to be the most potent derivatives showing 64%, 87%, and 74% antiproliferative activity in MDA-MB-231, SK-OV-3, and CCRF-CEM cells, respectively. Compound 6b showed an IC50 value of 3.6 mu M in CCRF-CEM cells. These data suggest the potential antiproliferative activity of spiro-pyrrolidines/pyrrolizines.

BLOTTER: 'You got me' - man trying to use false identity busted when cop finds his EBT card
SANTA ROSA BEACH — A 28-year-old man was arrested after he tried to give a law enforcement officer a false identity to evade detection because he had a warrant out for his arrest.
On Jan. 19 a Walton County Sheriff's Office deputy conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle for an expired tag, according to an arrest report. After speaking with the driver, the deputy made contact with the man who was sitting in the driver's seat. While retrieving his identification card for the deputy, a handful of coins and a syringe cap fell out of his pocket. He eventually handed the deputy a driver's license before picking up the syringe cap and throwing it across the parking lot.
The man was detained as police scanned his driver's license, but the picture that came back did not match the man standing in front of him. The deputy asked him about the picture, and the man said he gave him his friend's license by mistake.
The man then gave the officer another name, which came back with a picture of yet another man that was not him.
The deputy searched the man and the seat he had been in and discovered multiple syringe caps and a Florida EBT card with his actual name.
When the deputy ran the name through the system, it came back with a picture of the man as well as information that he had a warrant out for his arrest in Walton County due to violation of probation. When the deputy asked if his name was the same as the name on the EBT card, he replied, "You got me."
The man was arrested and charged with false identity given to a law enforcement officer and violation of probation.
