Announcements Here you will find announcements and discussions about new or updated TeenHelp features, news and events.
Time flies when you're a teenager - It might be hard to believe but it's already been five years since TeenHelp became a teenager, so today TeenHelp is finally an adult, uh oh!
With nearly two decades now under its belt, TeenHelp continues to change and develop as the years go by, yet for many people it continues to be an anchor in their lives, a place where people can turn to when things get tough, a place to find someone to listen and a place where vital support can be shared in order to tackle things together.

Congratulations on your 18th birthday, TeenHelp!
Now you get to experience the same emotional rollercoaster that many of your members do when they reach adulthood. It can be exciting at times and outright terrifying at other times, but at least no one has to experience it alone!
Oh wow, blast from the past looking at everyone who commented on TeenHelp's 13th birthday!
Awww, Happy 18th Birthday, TeenHelp! Sorry I missed TeenHelp becoming a teenager, but at least I'm around to see TeenHelp become an adult!
Welcome to adulthood. Now we can do some #adulting together.
They grow up so fast Happy Birthday TeenHelp!
I had the same thing!!
Happy birthday, TeenHelp! Adulthood is an exciting time!
Happy birthday, Teenhelp!! Welcome to adulthood.
It wouldn't be the same in my life without the experiences I've had here, or the friends I have made.
TH came out when I was two? Nice. Happy birthday TH!
This is the first time I'm realizing 1998 was eighteen years ago.
I know the Epilogue of Harry Potter takes place in 2017 and that's next year, which makes 1999 17 years ago this year and 1998 18 years ago... but still.
Hmm, where were you in 1998? Were you just particles of atoms/an embryo/a fetus/a baby/toddler/child/adolescent... hmm, I don't think anyone on here would be older than me?
Also, on the "TeenHelp is now a teenager!" thread, Tater Tot's post owns.
Does this mean that TeenHelp is finally over its tantrum-throwing and will stop randomly going offline? Maybe that's why it kept going down so often a few years back... that was TH going through its moody teenage rebellion phase.
Happy Birthday, TeenHelp, and here's to many more! It was exciting seeing you become a teenager, and even more so now you're finally an adult. There's many more milestones still to come, and I'm sure we all look forward to sharing them with you.

I'm a few days late, but happy birthday, TeenHelp! This place was my safe haven when I was younger and still feels like home to me. I have such endless appreciation for this site and all that it is, as well as all of the wonderful people who have kept it going this long. Looking forward to many more milestones over the years!
Fun fact: the oldest existing forum is Delphi which has been around since before any of us were born!
It was established in 1983. That... hmm, I don't have a time comparison.
Happy 18th birthday TeenHelp! I will always appreciate you.
If you need someone to talk or if you have questions, feel free to PM or VM me. I am always here!

i have 3b , some 3c curly hair. i also have straight side bangs..
its about 2 inches below my shoulders , but i've noticed it's been getting kinda poofy all around , and at the back..
i don.t want an actual shorter length , and i don't want a lions mane.
i use sunsilk , tresemme shampoo and conditioner , and comb my hair with a wide toothed comb.
Have you heard about the Curly Girl method?
The basic concepts are not shampooing (it dries out curly hair--use conditioner instead) and avoiding silicones. The products you listed are usually riddled with silicones. Ask for some product recs on the 3b thread. A lot of curlies (including me) get good results from trying this. I recommend visiting the links and reading Curly Girl by Lorraine Massey. Aside from that, razoring is bad for your hair because it will make your ends look ratty. Long layers are always good though. HTH! btw, love your slippers.
Yeah, razoring can look cool on straight hair but on ours it just makes it look kinda like we have breakage.
It's very cute as it is now. CG might help with what you're looking for. So might heavier moisturization and weightier styling products.
i love your hair! to reduce the bulk, i'd say layering. Avoid thinning like the plague. Thinning = flyaways = frizz mania.
You have the type of curl that most people envy! Very beautiful. I don't have any advice except to say just leave it be. Don't fix what ain't broken.
OMG you should leave it! real talk girl, that is how im tryin to get my hair to look.
your hair is GORGEOUS!!! i wish i had hair like that!!
girl keep your hair like it!

Lain International managed to launch in this millennium, the first movie channel in Spanish language through the internet: Cinemanía Network.

In 1829, when Gregory Northey was most likely the landlord of the India Inn in Cornwall Street, Devonport, there was a major burglary of the premises. The landlord was apparently away from the place, when the leader of the notorious Robinson gang, who had for some time frequented the place, made his way upstairs. Armed with a jemmy he proceded to relieve a wooden box of a hundred guineas and a ‘lucky shilling’ that had been given to the landlord’s daughter by a ‘hardy tar’.
Subsequently apprehended by an officer of the peace at the Richmond Inn, Robinson and his gang were found in possession of ‘abundant gold and silver’ and the ‘lucky shilling’. The gang members were sentenced to transportation for life.
One of the older hostelries of Devonport, the India was pulled down prior to the redevelopment of Cornwall Street in the 1920s.

Government on 3rd November said that an indigenously developed light weight 'Glide' bomb has been successfully tested in Chandipur in Odisha, marking a major milestone in developing such weapons. The bomb -- SAAW (Smart Anti Airfield Weapon) -- was dropped from an Indian Air Force aircraft at the Integrated Test Range (ITR) in Chandipur. "The guided bomb released from the aircraft and guided through precision navigation system, reached the targets at greater than 70 km range, with high accuracies," the defence ministry said in a statement.
The guided bombs have been developed by the Research Centre Imarat, Hyderabad along with the DARE, Bengaluru; TBRL, Chandigarh and ARDE, Pune all laboratories under the DRDO (Defence Research Development Organisation) and the Indian Air Force. During the trials on Friday, the guided bomb which were released from the aircraft and guided through precision navigation system, reached the targets at greater than 70 km range, with high accuracies, according to DRDO scientists.

Fruit- and candy-flavored (i.e., grape, strawberry, apple, peach, vanilla, chocolate, etc.) cigars and smokeless tobacco continue to be legally sold in Maryland and are increasingly popular among minors.
The choice of flavored smokeless tobacco or cigars by underage high school youth who use these products has not only remained high, but increased from 72.1 percent in 2010 to 77.1 percent in 2013.
A higher proportion of minors than adults smoke cigars and use smokeless tobacco in Maryland – the proportion of underage smokeless tobacco users is more than three times greater than the proportion of adult users (6.9 percent youth; 2.2 percent adults) and the proportion of underage cigar smokers is more than two-and-a-half times greater than the proportion of adult cigar smokers (11.5 percent youth; 4.4 percent adults).
While the overall rate of youth cigar use showed no statistically significant difference from 2000 to 2013, usage increased sharply – peaking in 2008 – followed by a marked decrease between 2008 and 2013. The decrease coincided with an educational campaign (www.TheCigarTrap.com) launched by DHMH in response to the rise in prevalence, as well as an increase in taxes applied to cigars. Though progress has been made, in 2013 cigars were still the most used tobacco product by underage youth (11.5 percent), surpassing cigarette use (11.0 percent) by minors.
Minors who smoke are also more likely to engage in other risky behaviors, especially substance use. The increased likelihood represents the relative risk of an underage smoker engaging in the behavior as compared with the risk of an underage non-smoker.
Adult cigarette use also has declined more than 20 percent since 2000 (20.5 percent in 2000, 16.2 percent in 2012). Just 0.5 percent of Maryland adults reported that they had started to use tobacco during the past 12 months, and 74 percent of adults who smoke cigarettes report they want to quit. Encouraging data show that the percentage of adults who never have smoked cigarettes is increasing – from 56 percent in 2000 to 61 percent in 2013. And hospital admissions to treat tobacco-related cancers decreased 11 percent between 2000 and 2011, saving more than $102 million in hospital charges in 2011 alone.
Maryland’s success in reducing tobacco use can be attributed to tobacco prevention programs, public policy initiatives, clean-indoor-air regulations and such programs as the Maryland Tobacco Quitline, 1-800-QUIT-NOW.
Having served more than 14,000 Marylanders, the Quitline offers evidence-based counseling to all people 13 and older and, while supplies last, offers free Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) to eligible callers. A recent evaluation documented 75 percent of Quitline callers being successful in quitting or reducing tobacco use and 96 percent stating that they would recommend the program to a friend. Further information on the Quitline can be found at www.SmokingStopsHere.com.

Teen in Albany, New York, says, "It's easy to get"
More than half of all ecstasy seized in the United States last year was laced with meth, authorities say.
"You just have to know the right person. It's about as easy as any other drug. You just gotta ask for it," says Nick, who asked that his last name not be used. "It's easy to get."
Law enforcement officials say stories like these highlight a disturbing trend they're seeing across the country. Most alarming, they say, is not only is ecstasy back after years of decline, but most of the time it's laced with meth.
Almost 5.5 million pills of ecstasy were seized in the states bordering Canada in 2006 (the most recent year for which full statistics are available) -- an almost tenfold increase since 2003, top drug enforcement officials say.
"They drive them in. They bring them in by boat. They bring them in by plane. They bring them across by people just carrying them across their back much like the southwest border," says Ed Duffy, an assistant special agent in charge for the Drug Enforcement Administration's northern region.
Because meth is less expensive than ecstasy, mixing the two saves producers money, but it also makes it more dangerous, officials say.
Ecstasy can cause sharp increases in body temperature and can result in liver, kidney or heart damage. When laced with meth, officials say, the combination can cause more severe harm because meth can damage brain functions, as well as lead to an increase in breathing, irregular heartbeats and increased blood pressure. The National Institute on Drug Abuse says meth -- or methamphetamine -- is a "very addictive stimulant drug."
Law enforcement officials say European countries cracked down on ecstasy production in the early 2000s and manufacturing moved to Canada. And now, Asian gangs in Canada have been smuggling the chemicals needed to make ecstasy from China and India, officials with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police tell CNN.
Finished pills are then pushed in vast quantities into the United States, a flow that's difficult to stop because of the vast, largely unpoliced border, officials say.
Those on the front lines in Canada and the United States say they are working closely and sharing intelligence to try to stem the flow. Canadian officials also say they have a good relationship with Chinese law enforcement.
The Mounties have created teams across Canada focused on identifying the criminal organizations producing ecstasy and meth and say they have shut down 17 labs in the past year.
"The labs that we're finding now are what you refer to in the United States as super labs. We call them economic-based labs," says Raf Souccar, assistant commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
Each lab produces more than 10 pounds of ecstasy in one batch, he says. "It's not your mom and pop operation. It tells me that it is criminal organizations that are, yes, more sophisticated and producing it for profit as opposed to producing it to fuel their habit."
It's then finding its way into schools, like Nick's in Albany, New York.
"I have been seeing an increase in pill use among the teens in general," says Greg Reid, a counselor at Equinox Community Services Agency, which sponsors drug counseling and other activities for youth in Albany.
"They do something called 'pharming' where they throw a bunch of pills into a bowl and kind of choose or take out the pills they want."
Ecstasy pills are often among the drugs of choice in the bowl.

Like all good DJs we love to take requests and we have the real time experience to know which other tracks to add to the mix to build a party atmosphere.
Some weddings are more formal than others but its always tradition for the bride and groom to do a first dance. This doesn't have to be the first dance of the evening as the sometimes shy may want to leave this to later, and often people hit the dance floor as soon as the first track is played by the DJ. The other great photo opportunities is the cutting of the cake and the Brides throw of her Wedding bouquet. Single Ladies by Beyonce is a good tune to play at this moment, although the boys may prefer another one bites the dust by Queen.

Sky News proposes a televised election debate between the three main party leaders, They have written to them, saying that if anyone declines, the debate will go on with an empty chair. That would make them seem frit (if the equal-time laws didn't thwart the plan).
David Cameron and Nick Clegg have jumped at the chance to debate. They have everything to gain from more TV exposure, of course. No answer yet from Gordon Brown, though: he has nothing to gain from bringing himself down from the level of statesman to that of mere candidate. He does not want a debate.
The odd thing is, neither do I. Politicians know that they have to re-connect with the public, but if they think that pontificating on TV will achieve that, they have seriously misunderstood the problem. A TV debate would just reinforce the presidential style of politics that has grown up in the UK. We are not voting for the head of an Executive Branch as the Americans do when they vote for a President. We are voting for Members of Parliament – who are there not just to represent us, but to protect us from a powerful Executive.
A debate would further bolster the role of Downing Street, with all the centralization of power which that entails, at the expense of an already weakened Parliament. The Prime Minister has much of the power that George III did. We ought to be stripping that power away, not boosting it by setting our party leaders up as if they were modern kings. We should be glad to have a majority party that was well managed by an effective leader, however mild-mannered or self-effacing. If the test is that the majority leader has to be a presidential-style superstar whom everyone fawns over, then we have little chance of re-gaining the liberties that the centralization of Executive power have already taken from us.

Starting a blog is a lot like going to an open mike. You may bomb or you may kill it, (you’ll probably bomb), but at the end of the day there is only one way to find out.
So how do you make your wife happy in less than 5 minutes? You wash her car.
That seems like a lot to cover in just 5 minutes, but can you really put a price on happiness?
Originally, this was going to be a “how to” blog entry about exactly how to wash your car in 5 minutes, but then I realized that would make this blog like every other car care blog out there, and then no one would want to read it.
So instead I’ll leave you with a story about how I came to meet the Ultima Clearly Different team, and why they called upon me to be their voice.
It was a typically dark and ominous afternoon in San Diego, CA when I answered the creepy ad from Craigslist. It was the type of day where you wouldn’t want be caught in the shaded section of an outdoor café because the wind was kind of chilly. But then again, you wouldn’t want to be in the sun either because then you might get too hot. And these guys wanted to meet at an outdoor café….
Fortunately, I was prepared for both shaded section/ in the sun situations as I got stuck with a chair outside that was half in the sun/ half in the shade! The only reason I agreed to this meeting was that I was already familiar with the Ultima product line and actually a big fan. But how much did these Ultima guys know about me?
Did they know about my sordid past moonlighting as an auto-detailer, or the time I laundered methamphetamine money through a car wash? (Oh wait… that was Breaking Bad, never mind).
All they knew about me was that I could write, but that it also came at a price. One of the owners wryly slide a bottle of screen protector across the table to me, thinking I didn’t know what it was.
“Is this supposed to protect my cellphone screen?” I said, pretending not to know.
He nodded his head as I slipped it into my pocket.
“I’m going to have to keep this if you want my help,” I told him.
That night I took the bottle of screen protector home and what happened from there may not even be appropriate for Internet. But I’m going to put it out there anyway… In the next blog entry….

With advances in emergency shower and eyewash technology, water temperatures are not too hot, not too cold ... just right.
One could make a strong case that the invention of the emergency shower and eyewash were among the greatest advancements in industrial employee safety over the past 50 years. In fact, it's difficult to imagine how we operated prior to their introduction. They certainly revolutionized employee and employer peace-of-mind in hazardous material environments, to say the least.
Those early system designs, however, did not take into account the comfort and, to a point, the safety of the people who used them. Exposure to the significant volumes of water used in this equipment during a full duty cycle can be uncomfortable and even dangerous, if it is outside of a specific temperature range either too cold or too warm.
More recently, the science of emergency equipment design and application has begun to more stringently recognize that temperature range. For the past several years, water temperatures below about 80 degrees Fahrenheit (26 C) have begun being addressed through engineered solutions referred to as "Tempered Water" packages. Using sophisticated, self-contained monitoring capabilities, tempered water systems blend hot and cold input water to maintain a prescribed temperature through a full-duty cycle. The best of these systems also provide a guard-band measure that by-passes the blending configuration in the event of either a cold or hot water input failure. This eliminates the possibility of scalding, while also assuring the availability of some degree of shower use if at all possible.
What should the specific high and low limits of the temperature range be? The guidelines used by the Haws Corp. are 80 degrees Fahrenheit (26 C) on the low end and 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 C) on the high end. These are not "official" limits, as ANSI does not publish standards for temperature. Safety engineers are encouraged to seek medical counsel for specific range limitations given their individual circumstances. That said, using these range limits, any input water below 80 degrees Fahrenheit (26 C) would require tempering (warming) and any input water exceeding 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 C) would require reverse tempering (cooling).
While much attention has been paid recently to tempered water, not nearly as much has focused on reverse tempering.
As mentioned, colder climates with cold input water conditions can have a serious effect on emergency equipment operation and user comfort. Emergency equipment manufacturers have, through the years, designed equipment and option packages that address the lower limits of the operating temperature range. But, as severe as cold climate conditions can be, summer or hot climate conditions can produce excessively high water temperatures in the safety equipment.
Option 1: Hot water at shower piping, but cool water supply from ground.
In facilities where the safety shower supply piping is exposed to extreme ambient temperatures, but the ground supply temperature is lower, we specify a central chilling package that serves a safety shower loop. This engineered solution provides a package containing the chiller equipment and a recirculation pump to continuously chill the loop water. The recirculation pump moves the water throughout the loop at a low flow rate, which passes it through the central chiller to drop the water down from the ambient temperature to 80 degrees Fahrenheit (26 C). This process continues throughout the day until the ambient temperatures have no effect on the loop, at which time the system stops the chilling process.
Option 2: Hot water at shower, and hot water supply.
This scenario is the same as above, but now when a shower is activated, the incoming water supply is also hot. To combat this problem, a storage tank is included in the package, sized for the number of safety showers operating simultaneously. The storage tank will be in-line with the chiller so that the recirculation pump will push the chilled water through the tank and out to the safety showers. You now have a safety shower loop that is maintained at a comfortable level with a storage capacity large enough to supply your shower or showers. As a shower is activated, the user will be guaranteed a cool and comfortable shower for the required 15-minute drench.
Option 3: Other engineered solutions.
While many requests deal with supply water heated by nearby industrial processes or pipes exposed to the sun (option #1) or simply a hot water supply in a hot climate (option #2), there are other specific needs and one-off applications that can be encountered. For instance, in either of the first two options, the required chiller would most likely be centralized to feed cool water to several showers and/or eyewashes. Alternatively, a semi-portable single shower application might feature a closed loop system, designed with a smaller chiller and re-circulation pump integrated into its design. The same approach might be appropriate for an air-charged, closed-loop system used in a remote location. Under certain circumstances, housing an entire stand-alone shower system in a climate-controlled enclosure might be the best approach. The point is that there are many ways to address reverse tempering challenges. The "best" one is the one that works best for you!

By anoukaimee, January 21, 2017 in What Drive Should I Buy?
The hard drive in my Toshiba Satellite C55-C5241 died. I did some research, and purchased the Seagate 2.5 Firecuda, 1TB. After a few days, I ran the Seagate diagnostic tools, and it informed me that it has a error, should backup all of my information, and return it. Great.
It is a 5400 RPM, and I'm wondering whether I should buy the same product, or get something like the HGST Travelstar 7K1000 2.5-Inch 1TB 7200 RPM or the WD Black. I'm not looking for a super quick boot up time, and I'm not gaming; just trying to 1) get the fastest overall system performance (I do have a tendency to multitask a lot, though) and 2) get something reliable (one reason I do like the Firecuda, despite getting a bum one now, is the 5 year warranty).
I'm on a budget and can't afford something spectacular--looking at ~$80 or less.
My understanding is that the two alternatives listed above are HDDs--no flash/SSHD. So basically: am I better off getting a 7200 RPM HDD or a 5400 RPM SSHD, for best performance? When I was researching this, I saw a few comments implying that if a SSHD wasn't at least 7200 RPM, it really wasn't worth it (but they might have just been grumps).
By the way: I'm a little irked at the Seagate site and tools. When I checked for a firmware update, it didn't initially recognize my serial # (the one provided by Seagate tools itself); further, it says there is no new firmware available. But I never got any firmware, so far as I'm aware. It took the standard Windows 10 SATA driver (circa 2006!). I bought this directly from Amazon. I've read everything I could find about the drive, looked at videos on YouTube, etc., and haven't found anything about firmware. Just diagnostics and SeaTools (which provides backup solutions--provided you buy the full Acronis package).
Anyone know off-hand if there is a different driver/firmware for this than the standard Microsoft driver? If so, where I can get it? Cuz sure looks like I can't get it on the Seagate site.
Oh--and it has a SATA III connection.
I'd still steer you to an SSD paired with cloud storage for whatever won't fit. You'll get another several years out of that notebook I'd bet.

For the first time in ages I got out my wheel; well, one of them, that is. That’s another story for another time. Two years ago at Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival I bought a fabulous fleece from my friend Harriet Beck of Beck’s Sheep Farm and U-Cut. Harriet cards and hand-dyes her Romney fleeces in the most wonderful colors, and I just couldn’t resist this one.
I began spinning it right away, but then as my life got busy, the yarn languished on my wheel. But several weeks ago I began again, and have really been enjoying getting back to it.
No, I don’t spin ontop a planter. Just put the wheel there so I could get a better photo.
Here’s a close-up of the second bobbin I’m working on now.
I love my WooLee Winder. I don’t have to stop and change hooks, so I can really get into a meditative state while spinning along.
Here is the amazing fleece, what’s left of it that is. Harriet does a beautiful job carding it so that it spins like butter. And there’s very little vegetable matter in it, which makes spinning it a real pleasure.
Here’s the first bobbin all pau and waiting to be plied with numbah two.
I’m spinning it pretty fine, because I know it’ll bloom when it’s plied.
I hope I can adequately ply this gorgeous stuff into an equally gorgeous yarn! For that, I will use my Louet wheel because it has such huge bobbins.

Ha’come wen I wen do spinning came out all fat skinny fat skinny kine? LOL Was most ugly hehehehe was old school on a spindle kine, Navajo style. Was da first time I even wen touch wool straight off da sheep.
Yum! Pretty wheel, too! What kind is it?
Oh you know, this is the first time I seen your spinner. When you said spin, I thought of those big wheel kind of spinner. I guess that is old fashioned style, huh? Well, I love the color of what you’re coming out with. So interesting.
that color is amazing! sooo pretty … it speaks to me… reminds me rain storms at dusk along the ko’olaus…. dat was one of fav thing back home… da rain… cool, but warm, but wet, just nani!
Oh wow that is so beautiful!!!!
You spin?? That’s GORGEOUS fleece. I have 2 pygora goats, one of whom has the most soft, beautiful fleece, matter of fact it’s the only reason I haven’t whacked him upside the head yet, but do I know what the heck to do wit’ him? Nooooo I’m a dum dum.

In college started working with VAX mainframe & IBM PC's. I've programmed 6502 assembly, 8088 assembly, COBOL, FORTRAN, BASIC(many variations), C, C++, PASCAL.
I Still have my original Apple IIe which was upgraded to //e enhanced.
I have an Apple //e, w/AE Serial Pro, Ramworks III w/1M & RGB option, Apple SCSI rev C, 3.5in Drives & ASCO/LIRON controller, Mouse, SCSI ZIP250, And the coupdegrace Transwarp w/W65C802. Used so much power that I had to replace the Apple power supply after awhile w/Applied Engineering power supply. Have Uthernet, CFFA & Apple HS SCSI card in a ROM01 IIGS with PS/2 Mouse using a PS2 to ADB converter. I also have an EPROM burner that I used to change the ROM's a little. Altered Video Rom Character set. An AST Sprint Ramdisk. And a Sprite II card (never had a use for but looked cool at the time, one of those technologies that never really developed).
I Want to add an RGB LCD screen to the mix, need a scan converter or something to adapt the 15.75KHz to something atleast twice that.
I wrote a loader to enable DOS 3.3 binary programs to work in ProDOS. It attaches to the front of the binary program and relocates the program to where ever it needs to be to run. Works with most programs. Anybody wants a copy just ask.

Set on a headland high over the picturesque fishing port of Whitby, the hauntingly dramatic ruins of Whitby Abbey have been a source of artistic inspiration for centuries. To find out what makes the abbey so unique, we spoke to Members’ Panellist, writer, and serious Whitby enthusiast Lindsay Anne Kendal.
“Friends and family had told me about Whitby Abbey many times. They said it was a place I simply had to visit and that I would fall in love with it. And I have to admit, they were right.
What really captured my interest was when I learned of its association with Bram Stoker. Being a writer myself, I can certainly understand how Whitby inspired him to write my favourite book of all time: Dracula.
As you drive to the location, you see the awe-inspiring ruins of this Benedictine abbey standing proud, overlooking the town of Whitby and the North Sea. There are two entrances. At both you are met by friendly staff and are able to take advantage of an audio tour. You can also visit the shop and take a walk around the museum, which displays a wide range of interesting artifacts found at the site, as well as interactive touch-screens filled with fascinating history.
I’ve visited Whitby Abbey several times now. On my first visit, as soon as I entered the grounds I was speechless. It captured my heart and soul. I simply stood for several minutes, staring. This had to be one of the most atmospheric places I had ever visited! As I started walking around, my imagination ran wild... Sometimes it seemed as though I had gone back in time; I could picture monks and nuns walking around, and now I was retracing their steps.
I headed towards the presbytery. The beautiful stonework, slightly pitted from, I assume, the salty coastal air, is still rich in detail. This provided me with the opportunity to get some stunning photographs, and it seemed as though I wasn’t the only one. Many people were taking pictures of the ruin, and preserving special memories with family shots. I ended up spending a couple of hours there.
I visited again the following year, and that was when I joined English Heritage as a Member. This time there was a rather large group of school children there, who all seemed totally mesmerized. I noticed that most were sketching the ruins (not surprising really - this place is a photographers’ and artists’ dream!) Each looked as though they were thoroughly enjoying themselves. Visitors can also take a stroll around, or sit in the grass beside the abbey pond. On this occasion, I also took time to visit St Mary’s Church, which is equally as beautiful and steeped in history.
Whitby Abbey bathed in colour at 'The Illuminated Abbey' event. Photographed by Lindsay Anne Kendall.
In 2014 I joined the Members’ Panel, and was invited to review an upcoming event. I was given a choice of locations, but I just had to go back to Whitby! So, in October, I travelled across country with my partner to attend The Illuminated Abbey, which ended up being a truly wonderful night.
Not only did the abbey look stunning bathed in colour, but history came to life for us. Actors where dotted around in several locations telling stories, and re-enacting parts of the abbey’s history.

Walk the Talk: “. . . there IS an immeasurable distance between all that we read in the Bible [versus] the practice of *Christians*.” ~ author unknown ~ *they* of Sunday aka the “moral majority of orthodox believers” and those of the lukewarm Remnant.
—— Give More than 100%: “To achieve this goal, add up the numeric totals of the action verbs to achieving 100% success: “knowledge, hard work, attitude.” Number the alphabet from 1 to 26, applying the appropriate number to each letter of each word, then add each word’s numbers to represent percentages.
—— Nailed to the Wall: What is the origin of the cliché? Jesus nailed to a cross? Nope. 1700’s Virginia: if a person lied about anything or someone, authorities nailed his or her earlobes to a wall, then yanked their head away from the wall to remove his/her earlobes. By this loss, those who thereafter saw a lobeless person knew he/she was a liar. It would be nice if liars were so easy to identify.
—— RDK: Dearest Brethren, “Be not of the ‘moral majority,’ our Christian practice reflecting not one step away from God’s Holy Word, our AKJV Bible. Let us not be those who talk a twisted talk thus walk a low road OR talk the talk but walk a different path. Let us be those who give God more than 100% by talking the talk with the action of walking the high road to heaven by our love for God plus the strength to continue up the high road by God’s love for us.”~ bmq ~~ RDK has always felt it wise to speak truth than lies: easier to recall, no offense to God. Virginia, however, ruled it safer to speak truth!
—— Please feel free to share the above quotes as delivered: for they do carry a profound message to Christ’s Saints, the reminder of which our Father and Son agree.
WCC WEEKLY: Quality of theological education; Future of ecumenism – Date: Jul 21, 2011 10:05 AM —— Yes, we received another blank WCC email. It would be nice to know the specifics of subjects provided weekly: obviously, they do not want us to have those. We can conclude only that they want us to visit their website. Our Brethren will recall that, while we could view the entire website in 2000, by the year 2001 we could read only the homepage: the entire site “members only” accessible in 2001 and thereafter.
—— We know two things about WCC’s subject: 1. Their “theological education” is far from quality, at least that from the great whore and her harlot daughters, littered as it is with lies and extra books not ordained by God. And 2. The “future of ecumenism,” defined as a World Church (WC), is here and led by the Pope with members being all nations’ leaders and religious leaders plus more than 6-million persons (per yr. 2000).
—— Satan has 3–Final Goals: One down, one partially down, and one to go: the one partial is still in the works of either drawing Christ’s Remnant into their web of deceit thus separating us from God’s Word OR they seek to destroy us and our Bible. Believe thatz: we printed out their Charter/Doctrine and obtained a copy of the WC membership roster– both in the year 2000– and have hard copies on file.
—— Converting us is impossible, as Christ stated, “IF it were possible;” and God said about our Bible, “I preserve my truths.” Jesus stated also, “When they are crying out, ‘Peace, peace,’ sudden destruction cometh.‘” The WC’s second goal is the “one down:” unity of all religions, including pagan, each in agreement for world peace– which unity and agreement was achieved. And third is the “one to go”– this one lacks 100% in agreement– all peoples hail the Pope as God thus set him on King David’s throne and from there to God’s heavenly throne. The god part was achieved, save the Remnant, by those who agreed to the second requirement for World Church membership; but, sitting on King David’s throne in Jerusalem–no longer exists, Daniel said will not exist on old earth– then followed by rising to God’s heavenly throne– NEVER, per God’s prophecies.
——Shortly after Desert Storm began, Jan. 1991, it grew into more wars in more Middle East nations: we warned it would never end. Mankind has pleaded for peace during all of Laodicea: louder today than since 1991– international leaders joined with powerful voices. WCC is set to order “cease fires” to warring nations thus achieve instant “world peace:” destruction hits before Rome can effect peace and convert or kill the Remnant. Satan will suffer unfinished business while he walks amidst the dead upon a destroyed earth for 1000–years.
—— Christ’s words and prophecy’s make no provision for world peace and religious unity, including paganism, to ever fully occur; only that Satan’s followers plead for peace. God’s reply to those cries is their sudden destruction as we join Messiah.
—— Man’s majority believe nothing has changed and nothing has gotten bad enough to warrant His return now; a belief confirmed by their synagogue leaders’ prophecy version: they believe numerous events have not occurred, unaware they have. Then there are those teaching that the “secret rapture” recently took place; which we reported.
—— By orthodox interpretation, the “secret rapture” leaves people to assume Christ will not arrive for at least another 7–years: the false event and time it takes to train His “ministers” raptured so they can help Him teach the wicked upon His return with the “preachers.” Just short of this supposed event, and to cover their backsides when we see them still here, they recently added: “not all ministers are taken up inasmuch as not all are needed.” There is absolutely nothing in God’s Word or His prophecies to confirm such interpretations: simply another ruse to deceive mankind.
——Apostle John said, and so say we, “Come, Lord Jesus, Come!” We also add prayer in Jesus precious name and ask that you join us in agreement: “Let not our Groom be delayed; for His sheep are weary, crying for relief and His vengeance against Satan and his followers for the abuses and persecutions they level against us until it has become relentlessly cruel and insane: the worst executed by Sunday’s believers, as God said.
—— Sunday 07-24-11, evil came to Bonnie’s door, that one saying, “I know you have a paper shredder and I wanted to let you know that shredded paper is all over the garbage area.” Since only one tenant has ever been in her unit plus site manager for inspections– they hoped she had one, thus assumed and planned to tell management on Monday, IF Bonnie did not get back there to clean up the mess.
—— Bonnie replied that she had no shredder, to which that one said, “Well, I remember you having one, but IF you don’t then I apologize.” This was no apology at all and “I remember” plus the added “IF” were to imply Bonnie lied. The specific person has never been in Bonnie’s unit, only having lived above Bonnie.
—— Bonnie checked the area Monday morning: shredded paper, smashed Styrofoam food containers, paper plates, crushed plastic bottles all over including the parking lot of the dental office next door: also were in one of FTP’s waste bins. It appears it was their mess– they had those things at the picnic table as they ate lunch earlier– and saw the remains as a new opportunity to falsely accuse Bonnie: another complaint in her file. Bonnie has proof of not owning a shredder for over 8-years.
Closing Words: Last week, Florida’s minister Bob E shared, “Our God is bigger, Our God is able!” HE IS; so, remember God’s promises– never forget– and keep the faith in God’s assurances while obeying Him from a heart of love. We are Satan’s prey, always have been; so do not fall into fear or deceit thus lose God’s Seal, thereby changing your Seal of Victory– blessed to have no part in the second resurrection– to that of Satan’s victim Marked Twice Dead: a reason for the second resurrection.
—— Share our Oils with everyone: none of us can instantly identify the wicked or the lukewarm or cold. We must speak to all who will hear yet, by instruction, must walk away from they who argue God’s Word or express no interest after a second warning. Pray unceasing: include Bro. Paul’s son, that he will remain sober and return to his father’s teachings; also, Sisters Bonnie and María, that recent and new troubles abate OR that our Lord see fit to move Bonnie from the midst of evil, out of Shelton altogether.

by Tim Hauf with Conger Beasley Jr.
Relatively few visitors make the trip by boat or by plane across the Santa Barbara Channel to the unspoiled shores of these five islands. Those who do encounter a windswept paradise rich in both human and natural history. In this remarkable volume, veteran landscape photographer Tim Haul captures the flora, fauna, cultural sites, and dramatic landscapes of the little-known Channel Islands.
Included are tiny Santa Barbara Island, with Its teeming plant and marine life; Anacapa, renown for its lighthouse and sea caves; Santa Cruz, the largest and most diverse of the islands; Santa Rosa, former home of a robust Old West cattle ranch; and San Miguel, the westernmost with its spectacular pinniped rookery and ghostly callche forest. Also inducted is a chapter on the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary, a wonder-land of aquatic marvels that encompasses an offshore distance of six mites from the pelagic edge of each Island. This book includes nearly 150 outstanding photos, not only of the best-known sites, but those that are less familiar—from spectacular vistas to absorbing close-ups. Tim Hauf's long-time collaborator Conger Beasley Jr. provides a descriptive text of the flora, fauna, and history. Channel Islands National Park and National Marine Sanctuary Is a valuable introduction to the astounding natural, wonders that flourish just off the coast of Southern California.
2008, 2nd edition, 11" x 10" softcover, 160 pages, all color photographs.
Great pictures that you may never have the chance to take.

At first sight, an editorial on this topic may seem somewhat far flung, and not of great relevance to ourselves and other countries in Caricom. But the issue, over the last few weeks, of Greece’s confrontation with the European Union and the International Monetary Fund, as that country has been searching for funds to keep its economy afloat, will have a ring of familiarity to citizens of Caricom, and would induce an interest in affairs so far away, that would, on the face of it, have seemed unmerited.
But the picture of a relatively new political party finding itself in the seat of power with extremely difficult economic circumstances confronting it, will not be unfamiliar to the people of our region. To take one case, for example, Jamaica in the north still struggles to maintain what might seem to some an extremely long period (since the mid-1970s) implementing an economic recovery programme with the IMF. And, it might be recalled, the institution was widely thought then, to be acting substantially as an agent of the Western powers, the use of whose resources it negotiates with countries in desperate economic circumstances.
And nearer to the present in the Caribbean, many will have been observing the present struggle of the Government of Barbados to implement an IMF programme, though without the public and highly political resistance demonstrated in Jamaica in earlier times.
The curious interest that we, in this part of the world have, will obviously be elicited by the moving picture of resistance which the new government of the Syriza party of Greece has been trying to put up as the IMF, with the strong support of the EU, insists that there can be no other way for Greece to proceed but to implement a certain number of familiar measures. These are seen, in the halls of European governments, as the price not only for Greece’s economic recovery, but for adhering to what is accepted in the EU itself as a set of necessary measures to be undertaken. And this is so regardless of the government’s asserted legitimacy as having been recently elected almost specifically with a mandate to find an alternative, or certainly a less financially challenging, path.
The news this week appears to be that, in spite of the apparently quite differing views of Greece from the other two parties − the IMF and the EU – a desperate effort is now seeming to be made, within the limits of each party’s mandate, to arrive at a solution to the problem. This scenario would appear to have been precipitated by the parties’ growing realization that no single one will allow its back to be driven against the wall. And for Greece in particular, with such an apparently unceasing prolongation of its confrontation with the other powers staring the government in the face, it would mean the possibility of a return to the polls.
For the EU, a prolongation would perhaps mean a worsening of the ferocity of the Greek government’s supporters at home, in the face of a lack of potential negotiators from alternative parties-governments, whose failure to come to grips with the present situation has been, in large measure, the reason for the presence of the Syriza party in office. But in addition, there seems to be some sense within the EU, that without an agreement with the present government, little prospect of an alternative with a sufficient amount of support within the country, could produce the result that the EU would want.
But in addition, the Syriza government, essentially from parties of the left, has, just as the EU and IMF were apparently beginning to feel that Prime Minister Tsipras and Minister of Finance Varoufakis, the obviously key figures in the government, were beginning to feel the pressure which those institutions were exerting against them, decided to play a diplomatic hand which was unacceptable, or at least unpalatable, to the international institutions. And indeed it would seem that the visit of the Greek Prime Minister, whether productive or not we do not know, to Russia and President Putin, has introduced a diplomatically unpalatable element into the situation.
We cannot, of course, have any substantial sense of what transpired between Putin and Tsipras. But the latter’s initiative must have opened, in the minds of the EU and IMF, the prospect of adding another element of uncertainty in EU-Russian relations, Putin presently holding the view, following events in Ukraine over the last many months, that there is a resistance on the part of the EU to any indication that Russia has a part to play in what he may wish to see as the remaking of post-Cold War European relations. And in that connection, it is well to recognize that the present Managing Director of the IMF, Christine Lagarde was, not too long ago, a high French government official, as that country’s Minister of Finance.
In effect, the fact that the Greek government is of the left persuasion, demonstrating, without probably any real belief, that Russia can, in the sense of the medium to long term, be a substantial provider of aid to Greece, has, nevertheless, probably introduced a potential upsetting of the diplomatic equilibrium in the Western European and American mindset, unnecessary at this time. And this in turn imposes an inclination to try once again with the Greeks. For really, neither side would wish the precarious balance of diplomatic or geopolitical forces in Europe as a whole (Greece has been a longstanding member of Nato) to be disturbed.
Of course, none of this is to say that the Greek authorities have any medium-to long-term upper hand in the present situation. What it would seem to be seeking, as a new government, is to ensure that an EU-IMF agreement is of a kind that does not upset its own domestic situation as a new government.
In real terms, Prime Minister Tsipras will be aware that institutions like the IMF function on the basis of precedent – previously negotiated arrangements. In this the organization will be supported by the EU. Yet, with Britain in a situation of threatening Brexit – a departure from the EU − and rumours of Greece doing the same, it is unlikely that European diplomacy will want to create the setting of a situation where Greece, as founding member of the EU, however small, sets any such precedent.
In the difficulties that a country like Jamaica, under Michael Manley and after experienced, this kind of complexity of the current global diplomatic complexity was not present. Today, even with the relative weakness of Russia, backs will be bent well backwards to inhibit disintegration, or precedents for disintegration, in Europe.
Greece will obviously be subject to substantial policy concessions, but not to the limits that faced many developing countries in similar situations during the Cold War.

Standing face to face I don’t recognize the person hiding behind these cold eyes. Tired and beaten, no more strength or energy. It seems that I’ve lost the spark once inside of me. I can’t find the guy I used to be. I can’t find the man inside of me. Lost myself, I can’t find myself again. Lost myself, Who let this dark monster in. Lost myself, Changing with the changing times. Lost myself, Where’s the me that I can’t find. Tired maybe or maybe just confused. All those wasted days and how they could have been used. Angry at the world. Angry at myself. Another day bottled up and labeled on the shelf. I can’t find the guy I used to be. I can’t find the man inside of me. Lost myself, I can’t find myself again. Lost myself, Who let this dark monster in. Lost myself, Changing with the changing times. Lost myself, Where’s the me that I can’t find. Where’s the me that I can’t seem to find.
We do not have any tags for Lost Myself lyrics. Why not add your own?
