There are a lot changes occurring in Little Haiti and Abraham Metellus of the Little Haiti Cultural Complex is helping to bridge the gap between community and culture by showcasing programs and events that highlight the Haitian and Afro-Carribean culture. The state of the art facility houses a 300 seat theatre, 2,150 square foot art gallery, outdoor courtyard and a Caribbean Marketplace with local vendors, music, miniature golf, vegan food and more.
When we sat down with Abraham we talked about his rediscovery of his Haitian culture upon moving back from Chicago and how he’s been able to use his formal education and experience in his role at the LHCC to facilitate programming. In addition to spearheading free classes and wellness offerings, Abraham has also organized free tours in traditional Haitian Tap Tap buses to enjoy the sights and sounds of Little Haiti. The Marketplace is a definite must visit on Saturdays with a little something for everyone.

If you are in business today it is almost certain that much of your day to day operations are reliant on a suite of software applications that are essential to every aspect of its smooth running.
Depending on your area of operations, it might well be the case that at the heart of your business there is a customised or even fully bespoke IT system that fulfils your unique requirements. Whatever the case may be, it is now essential to safeguard your software as much as it is any other asset.
Any commercial concern needs to be constantly aware of developments in its field of operations and toady that can mean keeping up to date with new versions of software. Whether it is for reasons of security or operational enhancements, most system providers release regular updates and upgrades to address problems that emerge.
Depending on the type of software of the arrangement you have with the provider, these kinds of updates can often be free to use, so it is important to make sure that any software your company uses is the very latest version that is available to you.
Online security is a hot topic, but there are many other ways that your data and information can be compromised. To be sure that you are protected, the use of updates and new versions as described above is essentially.
However, there are also additional measures that you can take, such as having a dedicated firewall, using VPN connections and making full use of the MAC addresses on individual devices when allowing connections to intranets and Wi-Fi systems.
Ultimately though, common sense is the main weapon that you can employ. Making sure that passwords are changed regularly and that nonessential personnel don’t have access to crucial data are two examples of this.
In some worst case scenarios even these measures wont suffice. If you have a systems failure that requires access to the original source code and for whatever reason the providing company isn’t able to help, NCC Escrow can be a business-saving solution.
Essentially a software escrow agreement means that a third party like NCC holds sensitive or secret data such as source code and releases it to the client when certain pre-agreed conditions are fulfilled or situations arise.
With a full package that means complete systems can be reinstalled with minimal disruption to operations and loss of essential data, the idea of having an escrow agreement in place is now an important part of the IT planning for many commercial concerns.

I'm back! And what is the first thing I did after dropping my suitcase at home? Well I rushed to the Arts et Métiers Museum to take a photo! Why? Because, like in many cities in Europe, last night was "The Night of Museums", an event that was created in 2005 by the French ministry for culture. The principle is to open some of the museums late at night (until midnight generally) and to let people go in for free. Huge success, as you can see in this photo that I took around 11:30 PM in front of the Foucault's pendulum.
Uh oh. Looks like the guy in orange might be taller than Gary.
LOL Gary. Is it me, or is it only in Europe where a bunch of people would go out on a Saturday night to visit a museum? When I was younger, that was the last thing on my mind! Well, actually, even today it's not what I would plan to do on a Saturday night, but I love the idea.
Oh, and by the way Eric, HAPPY SAINT ERIC!
Oh Saint Eric, this should give your "loyal subjects" something to comment about on your special day!
The Foucault's pendulum was the first (and is the only?) demonstration of Earth's rotation.
Once a pendulum is swinging, its absolute direction doesn't change... Still from an observer on Earth it looks that it turns. The fascinating thing is that if the pendulum is long and heavy enough it swings for hours!
Welcome back, Eric. I'm impressed with your dedication to us!
The Night at the Museums was lots of fun ... we did the Musee du Monnaie (yup, exactly what it sounds like, with the added attraction of a Freak Show exhibition -- you have to see it to believe it), followed by the Grand Palais for the Richard Serra Monumental exhibit.
It's a great way to see inside beautiful buildings you always wnated to visit, and to see exhibits you're not interested in enough to pay for. Both were so good I'd go back and pay to see them again.
Lots of people were lining up to get into the museums, especially the big name ones. Were you able to jump to the head of the queue at the Arts et Metiers Museum because you were posting for the world-famous PDP?
I wish I could have been there to listen to the docent. I always learn so many interesting things listening to them. Welcome back, Eric!
Welcome back, Eric. That is a great initiative! Here, you can get in for free on Friday nights (if you are a local). Plus, little known fact: many museum have a suggested donation policy. Which actually means that if you want to pay just one dollar, you are totally free to do so.
Is this at the Pantheon? I'd love to see it. We missed it on our trip. I'd even go on a Saturday night!
Happy Saint Eric's day, everyone.
Eric did you hear what this guy was saying? People seem quite interested, and you've captured some great stances and hand-on-face concentration poses. Great idea to get people into museums. I finally went to this museum after walking by it many times and thinking it was a church. Really cool inside; lots of neat little exhibits. And the pendulum of course is a bit mind blowing.
There are few things sadder than a mentally slow geek. But there I am. Eric's link goes to the Wikipedia info too.
Thanks for heading out on our behalf to take this photo and let us know about the Night of Museums.
Michael -- here in Brooklyn, entrance is free at the Brooklyn Museum on the 1st Saturday of every month. There's usually music and dancing too, and always a huge crowd. But I don't know of any other museums in NY that do this. Paris is SO great.
Last time I saw Foucault's pendulum (2006), it was in the Pantheon (???).
Happy Saint's Day Eric! Do you have any parties planned? And presents from pretty girls? (I stole that line from Lucy in "Peanuts"). She cracks me up.
What a cool idea!! We have visited some museums in Chicago that have free days, but never late at night! That sounds wonderful.
I had a nice, though rushed, vacation to visit family this week (2 great-grandmothers in their 90's) and had the chance to have a small PDP Midwest picnic on Friday. So lovely!
it does have the mini statue of liberty. Not one of my favorite museums.
I am on an iPod and can't figure out how to access the past few days. Can any one tell me how uklynn is doing?
PHX she's home and resting, even posted a couple of witty paragraphs a few hours ago. She'll be in fine form soon, sounds like.
Christie, I heard about the Midwest PDP picnic from Kelly. Was it in Geneva? How was it?
I saw the Foucault pendulum in the Pantheon, but did not know there was one in Arts et Metiers. My apartment was two blocks from the Musee des Arts et Metiers but I did not visit it. Too busy, I guess, sipping and thinking about. Prochaine fois.
Remember the breathless wait for the Griffith Observatory Foucault pendulum to knock over the little black cylinders?
And to think the first one happened at the Panthéon.
Bonne fête Eric et bon retour parmi nous.
Bravo et merci de ne pas avoir interrompu les photos quotidiennes pendant les vacances.
Certaines personnes devenues accros auraient eu du mal à s'en remettre !
Tomate farcie, yes there is a whole collection of drawings (gravures)and documents , a mini statue, part of the scaffolding used to assemble the statue but I think they could present all those things in a little more attractive way.
I forgot about those, Tall Gary! But now, yes!
Thanks for your lovely photo. Last night was Museum Night here in Barcelona as well (what a great tradition!) but I was chaperoning our high school prom. It was a worthy sacrifice, though! Glad that you are back!
What a great idea Eric and terrific photo of the pendulum.
Michael, you really come up with the most amazing things. So, happy birthday Saint Erik(c).
I guess you're back at work tomorrow ;-( So ENJOY today..
Nous avons un point commun aujourd'hui ;) mais il faut le savoir...:). Bises!
How many Foucault's pendulums are there in Paris. I remember one at the Panthéon. Did they move it, or just construct a new one?
We have a similar pendulum at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. This was one of my favorite places to visit when I was younger!
Petrea, our Midwest USA coffee was wonderful! It was a pleasure to meet Christie and her family, and I was so honored that they would take time out of their very long drive home to spend some time in Geneva! It was also nice to hear of your connection to Geneva. I will try to post a photo for you later this week.
Lynn, glad you are feeling better! I have missed reading your posts.
Would it be your birthday?
No, it is not my birthday :-) but it is really something common with Eric's day ;) Well, it is not really known, I must admit it!
I hope everything is fine with you!
Eric, I e-mailed you in March asking where I could find the third Statue of Liberty in Paris and your directed me to the Arts et Métiers Museum - thanks again. It's a great little museum offering a host of interesting things to see. I've posted a new work on Paris Photo Art, please stop by for a view.
Definitely think this is a great idea...to imagine a place that actually would try to promote culture. Lois...I, too, remember a trip to the Griffith Observatory as a kid and remember how cool that was. And, as you pointed out, "Rebel without a Cause" being filmed there. Let's see James Dean, Sal Mineo, Natalie Wood, James Backus...what a line up of "stars."
Lynn, glad to read that you are on the mend. You have been missed.
Hmm ... I've certainly seen Stockholm's coat of arms before and I think I've also heard that it showed Saint Erik - but more than that? Not really. Thanks for filling me in. There's such a lot that one doesn't know, especially when it comes to history!
Yeah, free night at the museum! Did anyone else read "From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler" and fantasize about spending the night in a museum? hehehe...such a little nerd girl I was.
I was lucky enough to be in Paris once when there was free admission to the Lourve. . .first Sunday or something?
Also, I wanted to tell you that CBS Sunday Morning did a piece on the Velib in Paris today. They said that several US cities are considering using it.
Jennifer, I loved that book too, although I didn't read it until a few years ago!
The Griffith Park Observatory has recently reopened after a complete remodel. I haven't visited yet, but I hear it was successful. They've had to close a couple of times since then due to brush fires. The most recent (within the last ten days) was minor. Last fall there was a serious fire, and you can still see the bare hillsides of Griffith from quite a distance. But the Observatory was unscathed.
Yay! Eric has returned! I agree with Katie about how wonderful it is that you've captured such expressions and stances of concentration in the crowd.
Interesting tidbit: Several years ago, an American reality t.v. show called "The Amazing Race" made finding a particular Foucault's pendulum in Paris part of the requirement of the contestants. If I'm not mistaken, they had to guess which one they needed to locate in order to find their next clue.
Jennifer, I remember "From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler," and in fact, I recommend it to children on a regular basis!
What about the 3rd place final? Did you win?
Hey, Thib, nice of you to ask. No, unfortunately not - I think they were all quite exhausted from the semifinal. (Also, it might have had something to do with using the 3rd goalkeeper instead of the 2nd!) Oh well, c'est la vie. :) Russia won the gold medal game today, by the way.
Petrea, Phx, Kelly, Coltrane, thanks so much I'm still basically in bed but on the mend a bit each day and here i am, very gladly at Paris DP! I've posted my beautiful flowers over at Cheltenham.
Yes, Petrea, it was the PDP picnic in Geneva, a lovely town!! It was absolutely wonderful to meet Kelly and we had a great time. She encouraged me to start my own daily photo blog, and I did that on Sunday!
I also loved the book "From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler"! I always wanted to run away to the museum and not have adults know where I was. Somewhere to read and study for hours undetected....sigh. What a plan!
I've been to La cité des sciences de la Ville. Géééénial! It's for kids but when it's about maths and sciences, I'm (not more intelligent than) a kid. LOL.
And I'm definitely fan of La nuit des Musées!

WILLEMSTAD – During his dissertation in Parliament, the Pueblo Soberano faction leader Melvin Cijntje says that if the Governor, in her letter to Parliament, gives the suggestion to go to the Netherlands to talk about the elections, then they will do just that.
According to Cijntje, he laments that the impression he had two weeks ago became reality when he received the letter from the Governor which confirmed that the democracy has been suspended for a few weeks. Cijntje also took note of the letter that says that Parliament could go to the Kingdom Council of Ministers to request an annulment of the snap elections called for April 28.

We have been learning about our community and the world around us through Postman Pat.
We have found out about different occupations and also how to keep and stay healthy, with a visit from the Life Bus and fruit smoothie making! We also found out it was the year of the Monkey and learnt all about Chinese New Year, as well as making our own Monkeys.
Our traditional tale this half term has been 'The Gingerbread Man', where we have thought of great ideas to help him cross the river safely and also why he shouldn't have spoken to the fox- stranger danger! We have also challenged ourselves with our weekly independent tasks, where we had to either make a Gingerbread Man, a house for him or write a healthy shopping list. I wonder what our Goldilocks challenges will be next half term?
Chinese New Year- The Dragon!
Chinese New Year- The year of the Monkey.
We chose a fruit to draw and paint.
Healthy food we like the most.
Instructions to make a smoothie. What did we do?
Creating our own maths games with a dice.
Drawing a road for the cars.
A bag for the Gingerbread Man.
A house with a chimney for the Gingerbread Man.
Making a house for the Gingerbread Man.

When talking about working in films, he said that he does not like the story of the films of nowadays. Ranjeet is known especially for his villain characters. Ranjit, who came to Bahadurgarh in Haryana to take part in the program of Hanuman Jayanti, said that nowadays, there is neither story nor purpose in the films. Along with that he said that old films had a story and every character had its own importance. But nowadays the hero is playing role of villain. Ranjeet's films are known for his different dialog-delivery. He said that Akshay Kumar had did a great copy of his Character in Housefull 2, which people also liked. Ranjit had come to join the 56th-nation-wide Bhandara of Hanuman Jayanti in Siddipur Iva Art Village, Bahadurgarh. Salman Khan's Bodyguard Shera and Big Boss Fame Dolly Bindra also came along with him. Ranjit talked about the story of the movies and talked about film songs. He said that he liked the old and emotional songs. He said that in today's songs, neither their is mukhda nor the antara.

You all know what snow looks like, right?
*And if you don’t, I’m so sorry. It’s beautiful. You should become acquainted with it sometime.
Then again, maybe I’m not sorry. I’m not sure what the acceptable answer is regarding the subject of winter anymore. Some people love it, others hate it. It’s like politics. Don’t bring it up so you don’t have to hear someone else whine about their opinion on it.
Instead of blowing up this post with pictures of what the snow looked like in my neck of the woods, I’m going to spare you. I’m going to show you what you really want to see: How Lance and I maintained our sanity, and didn’t kill each other, during the course of Jonas’ fury.
Lance: So, I picked a dessert for us to cook together during the storm. You get to pick the meal.
Me: Great.* What did you pick?
*Great actually meaning not great.
Me: Oh my gosh, you know how difficult they are!
Lance: I know, that’s why I picked them. What better time to make them?
Today’s post will not be able the nontraditional dinners we had while stuck indoors. I’m going to make you wait until my next post for that. Today is all about the croissants.
I read a magazine article a while back about creating the perfect croissant. I’m not sure what terrified me more about the process: the fact that an entire layer of butter is rolled out then surrounded by layers of dough, or the fact that there are layers of dough involved.
We started the croissants at noon on Saturday. The snow was coming down heavily at that time and had been since around 7 pm the previous night. Yet, this was only the beginning of our confinement. We were happy. We were excited. We were ready for anything.
We made the dough and met our first road block. The dough, which takes all of ten minutes to make, needed to be refrigerated overnight. Since it was morning, we set our timer for eight hours and focused our attention elsewhere.
About an hour before the dough was ready, we made the butter layer.
A layer of butter is beauty and insanity all twisted up together.* It is also a lot easier to work with than one would imagine.
*Actually, I should say all rolled together into a flat square shape.
*This step is not pictured because it was a two-man job, meaning I had to do more than stand around snapping pictures and offering moral support.
…then folded and refrigerated for twenty minutes.
It is then rolled into the same size rectangle again, folded and placed back into the fridge for another twenty minutes.
*It was around 10 pm at this point.
In the morning, the dough is pressed with the rolling pin to ‘wake it up’, then rolled into a rectangle practically double the size of the ones created the day before.
Up until this point, the biggest difficulty was the amount of muscle needed for all the dough rolling and the amount of time stretched between each different step.
The execution of cutting the dough into triangles was a rather complex one that is not pictured because it was one of those moments when a woman should know to walk away and let her husband handle something on his own because she knows that her involvement will set either herself or her husband over the edge.
…and instantly regretted not making more.
Lance has been challenging my baking skills lately, as he feels it is an avenue I should further pursue. After this experience, I’m grateful for the shove to try something that once intimidated me. Once our croissants have disappeared, I am going to work up the nerve to make them completely on my own.
Wish me, and my arm muscles, luck.

It is a Mo’edim: Appointed time, a rehearsal. Like historical plays and re-enactments.
Leviticus 16 tells us all about the most mysterious and most crucial, annual 24 hour period in Hebraic History; Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonements, the day of national atonement for Israel. Yom Kippur translates to, “Day of Atonements or Coverings.” It is also called, “The Sabbaths of Sabbaths,” because it is the most important High Holy Day on the Hebrew Calendar. For every High Holy Day is regarded as a weekly Sabbath (Lev. 23). It is also simply called, “The Day” and we see this referenced idiomatically in a passage in the Brit Chadasha (New Testament).
Ironic: English word Atonement : “At-One-ment,” at one with God.
This is also synonymous with the prophetic apocalyptic Day of Judgment; that the final Judgment will take place on Yom Kippur.
5 Mortifications: To die to.
This is the traditional Jewish understanding of affliction of the soul during Yom Kippur.
Life over Law: If one has a medical condition which fasting would cause harm the Rabbi’s tell us that it is sin if that person does not eat. To save a life the Talmud says one may even eat something treif!
Fasting: Science has shown a 24 hour fast once a year decreases the risk of contracting certain diseases such as cancer.
Girls below the age of 12 and boys below the age of 13 are not required to fast.
2) No Washing - During the fast, one may not wash for pleasure.
If one is dirty, one is permitted to wash away the dirt.
Upon rising in the morning and after using the bathroom.
One may wash one's hands when preparing food.
3) No Anointing - It is forbidden to anoint oneself with oil, thus the use of perfumes, make-up, suntan lotion, and other such items is prohibited.
4) No Wearing Leather Shoes - During the fast it is forbidden to wear leather shoes; because leather was seen as a comfort and luxury in ancient times. Some people wear only socks, but others wear shoes of canvas or other non-leather materials.
2-4) The point being no pampering yourself or display of wealth. This is a way of outwardly making everyone equal, so there is no outward distinction of classes within the community. Everyone is the same.
Matt. 6:16-18 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
If everyone participates it is not to show off. Seeing as it is Yom Kippur it is well known that everyone is fasting. So the stipulations in this verse are not in context and therefore do not apply.
We are to be intimate with ADONAI at this time and not our spouse, for our spouse also needs to focus on their intimacy with ADONAI.
Month before Tishri, the Month of Elul: Is focused on repentance.
Ex. 20:1-12 – Commandments 1-5 Deals with man’s relationship with ADONAI.
The individual repents and seeks forgiveness and reconciliation with God.
Sundown (Rosh HaShannah) Tishrei 1- Sundown Tishrei 10: Seek forgiveness and reconciliation between them and their fellow man.
Ex. 20:12-17 – Commandments 5-10 Deal with man’s relationship with man.
Sundown Tishrei 10- Sundown Tishrei 11 – Implementation of the 5 Mortifications spoken of above. Reviewing all that was done personally during the Month of Elul and the 10 Days of Awe.
Lev. 16:31 It shall be a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a statute for ever.
- But the Torah seems to contradict Itself. How can one be afflicted and rest simultaneously?
- We afflict ourselves because it is commanded.
- We can do this restfully because we have the God given time to do so. Also, we rest in the assurance that having done this in obedience that we are sealed in the Sefer Chaim (Book of Life) for another year.
- If you take full advantage of the Month of Elul and the 10 Days of Awe you can rest and have no need of worry on the Day of Atonements.
- The affliction becomes a joy because you know all you needed to do was accomplished during Elul and the 10 Days of Awe and you can fully focus on celebrating and thus you will even notice the afflictions we are commanded to put ourselves under.
This is perhaps one of the most mysterious and misunderstood priestly offices in Scripture; so much so that cults have been created based on their views and interpretations on this priesthood. The personage of Melchezidek has been confused with everyone from Yeshua to Michael the Archangel to Shem, son of Noah. It is my opinion, taking the whole of Scripture, Rabbinic Literature and Extra Biblical Texts into account that Melchezidek is Shem, Noah’s son.
The only reason I bring Melchezidek up is because Yeshua, not being a Levite, but a descendant of Judah cannot be a Levitical Priest but according to prophecies in the Tanak and passages in the Brit Chadasha that Yeshua is the Priest after the order of Melchezidek which supersedes the Levitical Priesthood but does not do away with it.
Many feel this is what the Christian world terms a “Christophany” which is a physical manifestation of Yeshua the Messiah in pre-incarnate form. This very well may be true, but the text seems to indicate that Melchizedek was a real person. His name means King of Righteousness, and he was king over Salem, what is now known as Jerusalem, City of Peace. He could have been a relative of Shem, who according to Jewish tradition Shem was appointed the family priest after Noah and his sons departed from the ark.
- Yeshua was from Judah, yet genealogy implies because Miriam (Mary) was Elisabeth’s cousin, that she had some Levitical blood in her as well as Judean, and Yosef (Joseph) was Judean.
- Yeshua ultimately is a Priest of the Melchezideckian order, which is a higher and older order of Priesthood that does not negate the Levitical Priesthood. One day during Messiah’s reign Yeshua, the Priest of the order of Melchezidek will supervise the Levitical Priesthood in the 3rd Temple.
- As we just said, Shem, Noah’s son was the first Melchezideckian Priest.
Ex. 19:6; Hebrews 10:19- We are a nation of Priests going through Yeshua the Melchezideckian Priest higher than the Levitical Priesthood.
Lev. 16:3-6 – Aaron had to first perform a sacrifice for himself before he could perform the sacrifice of Yom Kippur on behalf of the Nation of Israel.
Hebrews 7:22-28 – Yeshua Melchezideckian Priest needed no sacrifice for Himself.
I believe Yeshua Ha Moshiach of the Branch is the prophesied Messiah of Israel. That He was FULLY ADONAI to be able to redeem us from our sins, and FULLY man to have the right to redeem us from our sins, to be our Kinsmen Redeemer (Ruth, Jer.17:5-7, Jn.1). Yeshua is the perfect, holy, sinless Messiah, the figurative Son of ADONAI, who is the Word that became flesh dwelt among us (Jn.1:14) who came to dwell in a mortal body that never saw corruption (Ps.14:10), a pure deity manifest in the flesh. He was not an incarnation, which would denote that 100% of ADONAI came in the flesh. Yeshua was FULLY ADONAI in the flesh, but not 100% ADONAI. ADONAI is so infinite that He is everywhere and fills everything, so it would be impossible for ALL of ADONAI to be limited to a mortal body. In the words of Dr. Friedman, “If we were to go to the Mediterranean Sea and fill a glass with sea water, we can say that all the water in the glass is truly sea water. However we cannot call the glass, “The Mediterranean Sea.” There is much more to the Mediterranean Sea than the glass. Yet nonetheless, the water in that glass is truly Mediterranean Sea water through and through.” I believe that Yeshua is the Kohen Ha Gadol (High priest) who became the ultimate, once and for all atoning sacrifice Himself, for all mankind (Heb.4:14-5:10; 6:19-8:2). I believe salvation is only available through Him. I believe Yeshua came first as Messiah ben Yosef (Joseph) the Suffering Servant, and will be returning as Messiah ben David the Kingly Messiah. I believe that these two pictures of the Messiah, given in Scripture are one and the same.
- Stayed up all night with other priests reading Torah to him to keep himself pure in thought and spirit prior to the Yom Kippur sacrifice.
- Yeshua perfect and sinless.

Yeshua represented the High Priest and both goats.
Exd. 29:11 And thou shalt kill the bullock before the LORD, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Lev. 9:7 And Moses said unto Aaron, Go unto the altar, and offer thy sin offering, and thy burnt offering, and make an atonement for thyself, and for the people: and offer the offering of the people, and make an atonement for them; as the LORD commanded.
- Now we see that Yeshua was sinless, He kept the Torah perfectly (Matt. 5, I John 3:4) thus He needed no bulls blood (Heb. 7:27-28; 9:12) in that yet He was human in that He could relate to our suffering because of His own (Heb. 4:15; 5:2).
- Now the casting of lots during Tabernacle times it is said was done by use of the Urim and Thummim (Exd. 28:30).
Even though Yeshua was sacrificed during Passover, it its interesting that the element of casting lots was used to choose between Yeshua and Barabas (Mat. 27:35).
It is said the scapegoat or Azazel would be led to the wilderness thrown over a cliff, in this way Yeshua represents both the goat designated “for the L-rd,” and the scapegoat.
One of the he-goats was the National sin offering, the Azazel would become the bearer of all the peoples sins.
Now Yeshua was led out into the wilderness to be tempted to sin and was even tempted to cast Himself down from a high place (Matt. 4:1-11).Also at one point the people wanted to toss Yeshua off a cliff but His time was not yet to be the sin bearer of the people (Luke 4:16-30).
Scapegoat; Definition: In modern vernacular a scapegoat is someone that is chosen that is blamed for the problems that a group had brought upon themselves and that person becomes the brunt of all the repercussions that comes with the blame. Usually a scapegoat is unwilling to receive punishment of the guilt of the accusations. The scapegoat (animal and human) is clueless of his fate until it’s too late.
- In Yeshua we see that the blame of us all was laid upon Him and He was chosen by the people and yet it was a result of fate via prophecy.
Mark 15:7-15 And there was [one] named Barabbas, [which lay] bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection. And the multitude crying aloud began to desire [him to do] as he had ever done unto them. But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews? For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy. But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them. And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do [unto him] whom ye call the King of the Jews? And they cried out again, Crucify him. Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him. And [so] Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged [him], to be crucified.
Yeshua had trepidation about being the scapegoat yet He became it willingly.
Matt 26:39 And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
- The two goats represent the duel nature of Messiah being 100% sinless and divine to be able to redeem us, like the goat chosen for the Lord to be sacrificed and 100% human to have the right to be our scapegoat.
- We also see in the two goats that the first covered our sins and the second carried them away and died with them. This is exactly what Yeshua did, covered and took away our sins for Good (Heb. 10).
Isa. 53:11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high…Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people….So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation….By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all (Heb. 1:3, 2:17, 9:28, 10:10).
The ritual of the scapegoat may also be a remez (hint) to the final demise of satan, the father of sin and lies, also the one humanity blames for their troubles. He too will be cast down from a cliff like place.
Rev. 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet [are], and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
- Mikvah (Baptism): Ritual immersion and don special garments.
In the Tabernacle/Temple setting the veil with the angels on it (Exd. 26:31-37) symbolizes the door to the Throne Room of ADONAI on earth. The Ark is His Throne, the Cherubim on the Mercy Seat His guards and His Presence rests between them (Exd. 25:22). Thus the whole Tabernacle/Temple is symbolic of His Palace on earth.
- Tommy Tenny in his book the God Chasers (Pages 57-58) goes into great detail about how the High Priest needed the buffer of incense so as not to die and to perform the necessary procedures for Yom Kippur.
This just emphasizes even more that the blood of animal sacrifices is insufficient because the High Priest is already covered with bulls blood and yet an additional covering of smoke is required for the Kohen HaGadol to go beyond the curtain into the Throne Room of the King, ADONAI Almighty!
- East is the direction of the sun rise and the return of the Son, Yeshua the Messiah, it’s also the direction in which we pray in the Diaspora because it faces Jerusalem and the Holy Temple Mount.
- Seven is the number of the seven days of the creation week and therefore symbolizes completion and absolution. This mind you is only for the sins of the Priest and his family.
- Now he performs essentially the same procedure with the goat’s blood for the sins of the nation of Israel.
- After the “ransom of blood” is made in the Holy of Holies the blood of both animals are taken to the Brazen Altar in the Temple courtyard upon the four horns, representing the four corners of the camp. Then, just as he sprinkled the blood in the Holy of Holies, he does so at the Brazen Altar presumably in the same direction as the in the inner sanctum.
- Now we see the specific-ness of the scapegoat ritual mentioned earlier and the conclusion of the Yom Kippur service.
“Kapparot is a custom in which the sins of a person are symbolically transferred to a fowl. It is practiced by some Jews shortly before Yom Kippur. First, selections from Isaiah 11:9, Psalms 107:10, 14, and 17-21, and Job 33:23-24 are recited; then a rooster (for a male) or a hen (for a female) is held above the person's head and swung in a circle three times, while the following is spoken: "This is my exchange, my substitute, my atonement; this rooster (or hen) shall go to its death, but I shall go to a good, long life, and to peace." The hope is that the fowl, which is then donated to the poor for food, will take on any misfortune that might otherwise occur to the one who has taken part in the ritual, in punishment for his or her sins.
Kapparot is not mentioned in the Torah or in the Talmud. The custom is first discussed by Jewish scholars in the ninth century. They explain that since the Hebrew word gever means both "man" and "rooster", punishment of the bird can be substituted for that of a person.
- There is no denying the importance and necessity of a blood atonement, even in Judaism today.
- Despite misinterpretation of Hebrew: Sacrifices will continue in the 3rd Temple.
1. To be a physical object lesson that pointed to the coming Messiah and what He would do. It acted as a credit card that covered, did not take away, and rolled back the sin debt until someone, Messiah, could come along and pay it. In the time of the Third Temple the sacrifices will be a reminder of the Messiah who came and what He did (Is. 56, 66; Zech. 14:16-21). The sacrifices that took place before Yahshua came, only pointed to the Messiah which was to come. The sacrifices that will take place after Yahshua, and that will take place in the Millennial Reign, point back to Messiah’s atoning work.
2. It provided and will provide food, materials and income for the Priests and their families (Leviticus 5-10).
- The Yom Kippur Sacrifice. During the 3rd Temple it will become a powerful object lesson of what Messiah has done for us.
Matthew 5:17 - Came to fulfill, or bring the Torah into its full meaning.
- Believe book(s) in heaven are opened and an individual’s fate for the year is decided.
- Brake fast with light meal.

Labor Day is a busy holiday and there are many people coming and going from cookouts, pool parties, and picnics. Not only are the doors to your home opening and closing more frequently, but the roads are more heavily trafficked. Prevent your pet from getting lost or hit by a car by keeping entryways secured or confining your pet to one room when you have company.
Planning a BBQ? If you are planning an all day BBQ or picnic in the heat, it’s probably best to leave your pets inside where it’s cool and there is plenty of shade and water!
Don’t leave your pet unattended around the BBQ if you do decide to let them join you outside though. The smell of the food is too tempting and an overturned grill can pose a serious burn and injury hazard – not to mention wreck your meal plans!
When in the doubt, skip the food scraps! More pets end up in the vet’s office around holidays than any other time of year because humans think its ok to feed them scraps from the grill. Don’t change their normal diet or routine. There are many other toxic human foods like onions, garlic, tomatoes, grapes and chocolate that could be in your holiday dishes so its best to feed your pet food designed for pets.
Keep citronella and insect repellant oils out of reach. Ingesting any of these items can produce stomach irritation and possibly even central nervous system depression in your pets, and if inhaled, the oils could cause respiratory distress.
Always keep matches and lighter fluid out of paws’ reach. Certain types of matches contain chlorates, which could potentially damage blood cells and result in difficulty breathing.

This is an accessible event for those of us who are hard of hearing at the Sanderson Center with FM systems and CART available. Come meet Mia Love who is running for congress.
Who says hearing loss isn’t deadly? Those with hearing loss might be alive but many of us aren’t quite living either. It takes the average person seven years to get hearing aids or seek help. In that seven years we die a little each year.
Did I hear that right? Should I answer only to be wrong again? Look stupid again?
Not being able to perform simple, everyday tasks like answer the phone or understand simple English.
Hole up in my own world and read books where I don’t risk being a pest or being wrong, again.
People call out to me, I didn’t hear and we continue walking. I’m labeled stuck up or unfriendly.
Social outings often include movie theaters, restaurants and concerts. All three venues play hell on hearing aid instruments making speech all the more difficult to understand.
Staying home to read my book or watch DVDs with captions. Thank goodness TV captioning became mandatory in the 1990’s.
Many work places have bad acoustics creating another sort of deafness that doesn’t involve silence at all. It’s noise with no definition.
Meetings without assistive listening devices (ALDs) are impossible to keep up with. Employers fight against accommodation. The same for phone accommodations.
I’m afraid to ask for help, afraid it will show weakness especially in today’s world of downsizing.
Bluffing, trying to remain as small as possible in an effort to hide or quitting.
A partner using hearing loss to his/her advantage. “I asked you about a golf membership and since you didn’t answer, I assumed it was okay to get one.” Did he ask me from the other side of the house???
“You would be nothing without me. You need me to hear.” Dependency bonds.
Faking it, being alone or submitting to a unsatisfying relationship because of low self-esteem.
That’s why hard of hearing people isolate themselves. What have I done to combat it?
Bought hearing aids and joined a hearing loss group for support and came away with knowledge and courage too.
Educated myself about sensorineural hearing loss so I could explain how I hear to others and exactly what I need to understand better.
I started advocating for myself.
Come to our meetings to borrow a little courage, learn about hearing loss and coping strategies. Learn to advocate for yourself and within our community. Meeting dates and times are to the right.
“Be fearless. Have the courage to take risks. Go where there are no guarantees. Get out of your comfort zone even if it means being uncomfortable. The road less traveled is sometimes fraught with barricades bumps and uncharted terrain. But it is on that road where your character is truly tested. And have the courage to accept that you’re not perfect nothing is and no one is — and that’s OK.” Katie Couric (born 1957); American journalist.

There comes a time when the roof becomes vulnerable to damage or works less efficient, allowing water to easily penetrate the house. Toronto Roofing Company professionals have the knowledge, tools and expertise, to examine and diagnose any existing defaults of the roof that needs immediate rectification. The full process should be approached professionally and full documentation of all the services to be availed to the owner for transparency.
Roofs that have stained for decades are most likely to have undergone severe changes due to the various seasonal rains and storms. Their shingles are most likely to have encountered a major degradation in quality and the roofs might be at risk.
The roof stands out as the main protector of the whole house. Any impairment in its way of service, be it structural or defaults in some of its supporting parts, it is most likely going to affect the whole house. The process of rectifying a roof kicks off by detecting all the leaking areas and fixing in a very professional manner, in such a way that it would take time before it relapses. Materials used in the roofing determine greatly the durability of the roof, it is vital therefore to ensure that roof repairs are done with high quality materials.
The slope of the roof is designed according to the type of the house and how best it would make the house appear. Roofs that are flat are most likely going to hold a lot of stuff on top of them. It would be nice if they are regularly checked. In the event that roof sloppiness has to be changed, the services of a roofer are highly recommended in restructuring and designing.
Roofs are normally insulated during time of construction to prevent the owners from lightening. Snow accumulation happens to reduce the quality of the insulators and make the house vulnerable to lightening. A perfect roofer would examine the existence of any snow and remove it from the roof. The sharpness of the snow itself can cause severe injury when it happens to fall on someone. Accumulation of the snow on the roof reduces the quality of the entire roofing structure making it leak.
Roofers can use materials like aluminum and copper materials to design the roofs. Choosing the best roofers Toronto would make you get the best services. Good reviews from other clients on quality of services they have received from a roofer before might guarantee that services that are going to get are of high quality.

Do Endings Reveal Meaning of Life?
How Dangerous Is a Little Learning?
Pope’s “a little learning” seems dangerous at first glance but the alternative is not entirely attractive.
Roseanne Barr and Samantha Bee gave their fans a quick high with their foul language, but such language does little substantive.
Book IV of Pope’s “Dunciad” captures the triumph of Trumpism. In Pope’s poem, the goddess dullness (stupidity) has conquered the world.
In my “Restoration and 18th Century Couples Comedy” class, my students paired old rom-coms with contemporary films, including “Ten Things I Hate about You,” “How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days, “Friends with Benefits,” and others.
Recently a student reported me for using sexist language in the classroom. (This while teaching a Kingsolver novel and Euripides’s “The Bacchae.”) The language did not reflect my own views, but the complaint made me realize that I need to be more careful with this generation of students.

This report presents evidence and provides analysis of the consequences of changes to government policy and funding structures in higher education in the UK, in the fields of semedia, communications and cultural studies. The removal of the block teaching grant for subjects in arts, humanities and social sciences, along with the implementation of undergraduate student fees of up to £9,000 in 2012/13, and the announcement that recruitment caps on student numbers will be lifted from 2015/16 have had significant consequences for the way higher education is conceptualized, organized and delivered across the UK. Despite changes to the funding system, the fields of media, communication and cultural studies remain popular with students: on the whole, student numbers remain high in these subject areas and the recent Research Excellence Framework (REF) revealed excellence of research in the majority of institutions.
The report is based on new independent research funded by the Media, Communications and Cultural Studies Association (MeCCSA) into the changing higher education environment and how it has impacted on the field of media, communications and cultural studies. Care was taken to ensure that the final sample included pre and post 1992 institutions as well the broad range of degrees (at undergraduate and postgraduate levels) as well as joint degrees and those that were theory dominant or practice dominant or a mixture of both, across the fields of media, communications, film, television, journalism, broadcasting and cultural studies. It explores changes to admissions and recruitment processes and practices; strategic considerations around curriculum development and staffing and the consequences of the increasing importance being placed on the research ‘impact’ agenda in the context of these subject areas.
41% report an increase in home/EU first-year undergraduate enrolments .
However, although the subject areas under consideration remain popular and the research base is healthy, departments are also experiencing a range of problems. Many departments report pressure on resources through increased Student:Staff ratios as popularity of the subject areas put departments under pressure to recruit ever higher numbers without corresponding rises in staff. Furthermore, resources are being directed to marketing and recruitment activities that occupy an ever-more central part of the work of a department detracting from core academic activity. The constant stress on student recruitment has also led to changes to the range of provision with more courses introducing vocational elements that appeal to new applicants facing high levels of debt on graduation. These changes to curricula, while attractive to students in the short-term, may prove to be problematic in the long-term for students who have traditionally entered a wide range of occupations on graduation. Furthermore, where students do enter the cultural industries a narrowly conceived skills-based training may well be quickly out-moded in a fast changing technological environment. There is also concern that as the market dictates which courses thrive and which die, student choice will be ever-more limited.
Thus, changes to higher education policy are impacting substantively on the subjects that we teach, on the relationship between the academic and the student; on the student’s attitude to knowledge alongside their desperate need to get a decently paid job at the end of their degree. The subject areas of MeCCSA may be flourishing but a highly marketized and commodified higher education system also carries grave costs.
 Although the research included all institutions across the UK offering degrees in the subject areas covered by MeCCSA , the numbers of respondents in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland were too small to draw any nation-specific conclusions.

The title certainly intrigued me. My daughters’ interest levels peaked when Nasrettin Hoca, the story’s main character, started feeding his coat. “Eat coat! Eat!” he said as he put loads of food and finally poured a whole bottle of wine into his coat. Nasrettin’s behaviour was out of the ordinary, particularly at a fancy banquet at the home of his wealthy friend. Nasrettin explained his actions, saying, “Surely, you wanted my coat to eat.” You see, he first arrived to the party in an old coat and smelling of goat, as he had just extracted the animal from a hostel. Nasrettin was late for the dinner party so went directly there, but no one spoke to him or offered him food, not even the host who had invited him. Nasrettin went home, bathed and changed into a beautiful red coat with golden threads. When he returned to the party he was treated like royalty. “This shows it was the coat–and not me–that you invited to your banquet!” he proclaimed.
According to the endnotes, Nasrettin Hoca (A.D. 1208-1284), upon whom many Turkish folktales are based, was known for his terrific sense of humour; this humour shines through in The Hungry Coat. This picture book would be an engaging conversation starter for discussions about judgement and prejudice for children of all ages.

Since its August 2011 opening, the Projective Eye Gallery at UNC Charlotte's Center City Building has presented a dizzying array of stuff: a temporary mural by local artists, a cross-disciplinary performance/installation by faculty members, a video project by an international artist, the crowd-pleasing Violins of Hope, and now Concurrent Rhythms, a collection of digital works and projects from the College of Arts + Architecture.
On opening nights at Projective Eye, lectures, demos and music performances spill over several floors of the building. The work is serious, but the environment is festive and casual.
Concurrent Rhythms' opening was true to form, presenting the combined efforts of d-Arts, which fosters digital collaboration among the departments of the COA+A; Digital Art Mob, a student group in the Department of Art & Art History; and Fresh Ink, the college's alt-classical/new music initiative. In conjunction with Fresh Ink, architecture students Trevor Hess and Taylor Milner and faculty member Chris Beorkrem created several pieces that responded, in real time, to the musicians as they performed works by Steve Reich and David Lang. Behind the musicians were projected images; downstairs in the gallery was an inkjet printer that spit out patterns onto a 20-foot-long continuous loop of paper, resulting in a dense, undulant field of green ink, a visual expression of the relentless, haunting music.
In contrast to the works in which sound generated imagery was "Music to our eyes," by architecture alumnus Sam Walker. In this interactive installation, architecture graduate student Mikale Kwiatkowski painted live as a robotic arm, equipped with a small camera, captured her movements and translated them into music.
You can see the remains of the above projects in the gallery and lobby; however, they lack text explaining their purpose, so even though they still have a good deal of allure, a viewer who was not at the opening will likely find them puzzling.
For the duration of the exhibition, you can also see archival inkjet prints, animations and videos, a sound sculpture, and graphic design projects. These are all chockablock in the space, so at the moment it looks more like a lab than a gallery.
Perhaps the most successful of the works on display is "Linear Echo" by architecture students Steven Danilowicz and Alison Schaeffer. This soundscape consists of speakers mounted on a platform; at each end, microphones dangle from the ceiling. People speak into the mics and the sounds travel down the row of speakers, resulting in the echo of the title — a phenomenon Danilowicz nicely describes as "bowling for sound."
The Digital Art Mob works that caught my eye are Ryan Montroy's inkjet print series "Vices, Illogical Desire," in which a seemingly self-propelled drilling hammer smashes wine glasses and beer bottles; Amanda Markham's amorphous and eerie inkjet prints; and Brandon McCarty's "The Fallout," a Flash animation tale of survival and self-destruction.
With a few exceptions, Concurrent Rhythms is a student show. While showcasing students in the school's premier space and subjecting them to public scrutiny is an appealing idea — after all, there's nothing like the terror of public exposure to focus an artist's attention — Projective Eye seems a bit too small for this kind of effort. Student shows, even selective ones like this, are varied in nature. They need a little room to sprawl so the diverse works don't compete with one another.
In addition, the gallery space, which is a bit narrow and has a sloping ceiling, seems most suited to performance and installation. It will probably take a few more exhibitions and some tweaking to figure out how to best display standard 2-D and 3-D work.
In its first, hectic year, Projective Eye Gallery set some ambitious goals that it had to meet quickly, so it's still a little rough around the edges. But as the gallery matures, I hope it retains some of the loosey-goosey, restless energy it has demonstrated so far.
The exhibition Concurrent Rhythms will be on display through June 6 at the Projective Eye Gallery, UNC Charlotte Center City Building, 320 E. 9th St. (at Brevard). http://coaa.uncc.edu. 704-687-0833.

If you are unsure, please apply a small amount of latex to the inside of the your elbow and keep it there for at least one hour. If there is no rash, itching, swelling or difficulty breathing remove the latex and continue. If there is any reaction at all, remove the latex and seek medical help! When applying latex, make sure that the area is FREE OF HAIR or that you have a high tolerance for pain! If your volunteer is allergic to latex, you can use a silicon like 3rd Degree or Skin Tite to make the skin.
To make the intestines, you need a clean, non-porous surface such as a mirror or table top covered in saran wrap (taped down securely).
Take your bottle of latex and a white makeup sponge, pour several small amounts of latex onto your non-porous surface. Take your latex sponge and begin to spread the latex evenly in an up and down motion until the surface is covered. Allow this layer to dry completely. Once this layer is dry, add another layer of liquid latex going from side to side. Allow this layer to dry completely also. Apply 4 more layers, one at a time, in alternating directions. Allow each layer to dry before adding the next.
To speed dry the layers, you can use a blow dryer on cool.
black creme makeup or wheels and another latex sponge. Begin adding layers of colors to your latex. If you are making healthy intestines, use pinks, red and browns. Blend the colors using your fingers. If you are making zombie (necrotic) intestines, use reds, browns, and blacks. Blend well with fingers.
I used Ben Nye's Severe Exposure Wheel and Ben Nye's Burns and Blisters Wheel.
length of your latex sheet. Scrunch the paper towels up into a loose roll. Place the paper towels on the edge of the latex and gently lift the edge of the latex and pull it over the paper towel. Continue down the edge of latex, pulling it up and over the paper towel. Roll the paper towel up in the latex, making sure the towel is completely covered. Don't roll it to tight, or the intestines will be to small.
colorless powder ( I use Neutral Set by Ben Nye) and dust over the latex to keep it from sticking to itself. Set aside.
If your volunteer is male, make sure that you shave the area where the latex will be applied. Removing latex from hair is very painful! Once the area is clean and hair free, use rubbing alcohol or a skin cleanser to clean the area. Let dry. Take some creme makeup and paint an outline of where you want the injury to be.
Step 5: Building the Skin.
Once the area is prepped, take several Kleenex or squares of toilet paper and pull the two ply's apart so you have two sheets. Tear this into small strips about an inch or so wide. Take a makeup sponge and apply a layer of latex around the area where you drew your outline. While the latex is still damp, press the tissue into it. Once the latex has dried, take your sponge and apply another layer of latex onto and around the tissue. Take more strips of Kleenex and press into the damp latex. Allow to dry. To speed dry, you can use a blow dryer on cool.
Once the two layers of tissue and latex is dry, apply another layer latex on top. Allow to dry completely. Add another layer of latex. Allow it to dry.
When the layers are all dry, take your Neutral Set Powder and powder puff and coat the layers of latex, this will keep the latex from sticking to itself. Make sure you press the powder firmly into the latex. Gently peel up an edge of the latex and powder the under side with Neutral Set Powder and a small brush. Do this to a depth of least 3/4" of an inch.
Take the Prosthetic Adhesive and pat onto the skin, underneath the latex and tissue. Allow to dry. Press an edge of the intestines you made into the Prosthetic Adhesive. Hold in place for 20 seconds. Keep adding the adhesive and allowing it to dry before pressing more of the intestines into it. Add loops but also allow some to hang loose, this will make it look like they were pulled out. I used 6 feet of intestines to make this fx.
Next, lift the latex/tissue and begin to fill the underside and edge with Thick Blood. Make sure the bottom edge is pulled out and filled with Thick Blood. Add a few dabs of the Thick Blood to the intestines to resemble clotting and tissue.
When it is done, take the Stage Blood and spread liberally over the intestines and surrounding skin. This will give the intestines a slick, wet look.. If you are making a Zombie, use the black Zombie Blood. This will make it look old and decayed.
Take an old shirt , dress, etc. and tear a hole larger than your wound. Sprinkle liberally with stage blood or black Zombie Blood. To keep the wound exposed when wearing the shirt, glue or pin it so the wound is always visible.
Scare and gross out your fellow zombies and friends!
This is the most convincing and awesome intestine Instructables I've seen out there! Great work!
Thank you! It took me awhile to figure out how to make it look as real as possible!
I would recommend using prosthetic adhesive over spirit gum. Spirit gum tends to break down with sweat and liquids and is only meant to attach fake hair to your body.
You can use plain old Elmer's glue instead of latex esp. If it's so painful like that.
True, but Elmer's doesn't hold up to sweat and liquids as well!
This is really gross and cool. Nice 'ible.
Thanks! Hope you have fun recreating it!

We come across some interesting projects in our travels, and this is one of them. Insulating the Lady Jane. What or who, you might ask is the Lady Jane. Well, she is a rather large old lady… or more specifically, she is an ex fishing trawler (All 90 feet of her!!!). Lady Jane is approximately 40 years old and was launched in Ostend, Belgium and was built to fish in the North Sea.
“Lady Jane is a single engine, steel hull trawler. She is entirely welded (as opposed to riveted which is apparently not as strong) and divided by 5 watertight bulkheads into 6 classic trawler compartments which comprise of; steering room, galley with crew quarters, engine room with battery room and wheelhouse, fish hold, forward locker and the net locker. The stern is of the cruiser stern type, rounded to take heavy seas.” enthuses the owner Tim.
The Lady Jane was purchased with the intention of converting her to a live-aboard. She is currently moored in Hampshire and is being lovingly restored by Tim. Visit Tim's blog for the latest progress on his pride and joy.
Tim has spent the last 2 years working hard on the Lady Jane, whenever he gets a spare moment to do so. Click on the link to find out more about his adventure and to read about his comments regarding insulation of the accomodation spaces with Handi-foam As you might have guessed, we have supplied the Expanding Foam insulation kits for insulating Tim’s future live-aboard.
Tim initially experimented spraying onto bitumen, unfortunately that did not stick very well as bitumen is an oily substance. He then painted Rustroy over the bitumen and sprayed the foam onto the painted surface, which the foam stuck very well to.
The next stage involved his beloved Hilti-Gun and a good many metres of wooden battens. It is always best to do all your preparation before you start spraying. Make certain you have your wooden battens in place as well as any conduits for electrical wiring; and also get your plumbing sorted out. Whilst these are things that can be done after the fact, it will simply create more work for you.
Tim then sprayed an inch of foam between the wooden battens and was quite surprised by how quickly the foam was applied and was relieved at the large area the foam covered. As you can well imagine, renovating a boat the size of the Lady Jane is no small expense.

After 25 years, autumn would not be the same without the sweetness of Eurochocolate, the international chocolate festival. This year Perugia will host the event from October 19 to 28. This year a huge box of chocolates will welcome visitors in Piazza IV Novembre: five meters long, it will contain 25 assorted delicacies made with chocolate, one for each year of the event. In fact, Eurochocolate this year celebrates its 25th birthday with a richer than ever edition.
There will be about 100 stands at the ‘Chocolate Show’, a walk in the world of sweetness to taste 6000 different products and meet the “kings of chocolate”, such as the Turinese Guido Gobino and the Tuscan Andrea Slitti, who in ‘Cioccolatomania’ will hold a free guided tasting course. An entertaining novelty is that of the ‘Sweet Moments’, various art exhibitions that will come to life when and where the public least expect them, and which will be announced on social media just before their start.
An exhibition will celebrate of the festival important birthday, ‘Le immagini che hanno fatto la storia‘ (The images that made history), which will collect the shots of Eurochocolate’s official photographer, Simone Casetta. There will also be a special party: ‘Fai 25 con noi’ (Turn 25 with us), which will be held on October 23 at 11 am. For the occasion, all the visitors celebrating their own 25th birthday, or their silver wedding anniversary, are invited to write an email to the Eurochocolate’s address for a dedication on a special maxi cake. Among the most spectacular side events, there will certainly be ‘Sculture di Cioccolato di Perugina‘ (Perugina chocolate sculptures). During which, on October 21st, it will be possible to attend a live exhibition of chocolate sculptors, who, with blocks of chocolate weighing over 1000 kilos, will create works of art on the theme of birthday cakes.

A new study shows where Australians under 30 want to live, as well as the country’s most popular state or territory, by analysing mortgage applications.
According to research by credit scoring and information service Credit Simple, Queensland is the most popular state for mortgage applications by people under 30.
Breaking down each state and territory across January to June 2017, Queensland had 17 per cent of its mortgage applicants under 30 years old, higher than the national average at 15 per cent.
This was followed by Western Australia at 16 per cent, South Australia at 15 per cent, Victoria at 14 per cent, NSW and Tasmania at 13 per cent, the Australian Capital Territory at 12 per cent and the Northern Territory at 11 per cent.
“Strategies for young Aussies [to] get into the property market are hotly debated, with commentators regularly providing tips from reducing your avo on toast intake to advising people to get higher paid jobs,” said Credit Simple spokesperson Emily Price.

We are honored to include Laurie among our guest bloggers. As far as dog fostering goes, Laurie is a true superstar. Her credentials need little explanation — she has fostered 134 dogs and 81 cats, and counting. Many of you are probably already familiar with her most memorable, entertaining, and longest-lasting foster, Ziggy, a gorgeous deaf white pit bull who has been with her for almost two years.
When I first learned about fostering, it sounded perfect for me. I would get to take home a foster dog to be a friend for my Great Dane, and I wouldn’t have to worry about the expenses of a second dog since all vet care and food would be provided. I’d get to play with a new dog, and help him or her find a permanent home. I brought home Dolly, my first foster dog, and had her for three months until she was adopted. Then I immediately brought home another. I realized that I really loved fostering. It was so rewarding to go to a shelter and pick out a dog that was living in a cage and take them home with me. Seeing their joy at being in a home, sometimes for the very first time in their life, made me feel really good.
Dogs like Bunny come from puppy mills and foster homes are their first chance to be loved.
What have you learned from fostering?
I’ve learned a lot about fostering in the past four years. I foster all breeds and mixes of dogs. I’ve learned that the ones that used to scare me the most – pit bulls – are actually my favorite breed. I’ve learned that small breeds and puppies are always adopted much more quickly than larger breeds. I’ve learned that most dogs are turned into shelters at around one year of age because their owners didn’t train them and can no longer deal with their untrained puppy behavior. I’ve learned firsthand that untrained puppies and dogs can destroy computer cords, window blinds, cell phones, and many other things in the blink of an eye. I’ve learned that the bond that develops between a person and a dog during training and shared events is very strong. And I’ve learned that taking a dog home, giving him love and affection, teaching him manners, and preparing him for a new home can be a lot of fun. And watching that dog be adopted and go to a new home can be sad, but so rewarding. Fostering really does make a difference – it can be the difference between a dog who is euthanized because he’s out of time in a shelter, or because he has behavior issues that can’t be worked with in a shelter, and a dog who goes confidently into a new home where he will be cared for and loved for the rest of his life.
Sometimes foster dogs come with bad habits.
Letting go of a foster pet is not always easy. Sometimes people don’t understand how I can let a foster pet go after getting so attached to them. My fosters are treated just like my own pets – they have free run of the house, sleep in my bed, and I actually spend more time training them than I do my own pets usually! But from the time they come home with me, I know that they will someday be leaving. If they didn’t, I wouldn’t have the space or time to take in more fosters. So although they might not realize that I’m just a temporary stop on their journey, they eventually end up in a permanent home that is just right for them. And I celebrate each time one of my fosters is adopted, because it means that I can then say “yes” to one of the dozens of pleas for help that we receive each day.
Dolly was my first foster dog.
You do not have to be a dog trainer to foster. You don’t have to be an expert in dog behavior, or have years of experience owning dogs. You just have to want to make a difference in the life of a homeless pet. Do some research to find a rescue group or shelter that will be a good fit for you. Some rescue groups will give you a mentor to help you through any questions. They’ll match you up with the best dog or cat for your home, and they’ll provide training and support as needed. They’ll take care of the vet bills and the food and other supplies, and they’ll do all the work to get your foster pet on the various websites and then screen to find them the best home. Unfortunately there are other rescue groups who will give you a dog and say “good luck” and then you’ll never hear from them again. So make sure you ask questions, attend some of their adoption events, and fully understand what is expected of you before signing up. Don’t worry if you try it and find that fostering is not for you. Some people have a hard time letting the pet go and end up adopting their foster. Others just realize it is more of a commitment than they are ready for, which is okay too. There are a lot of ways to help, so don’t be afraid to try fostering, but if it’s not for you, see if you can find another way to help, whether by transporting pets to events, taking pictures for websites, conducting a fundraiser or supply drive, or going to your local shelter to walk dogs.
Fostering puppies is a lot of work, but a lot of fun.
Ziggy, the deaf American Pit Bull Terrier, is my most memorable foster, and my longest-term foster. I’ve fostered several other deaf dogs, and several other pit bulls, but Ziggy is in a class of his own. I took him in two years ago, when he was just a four month old puppy, and I’ve been trying to find him a home since then. I’ve learned more from Ziggy than any other dog, including my own dogs. He’s taught me how to be a better trainer, how to be more patient, how to enjoy every moment of life, and how to find the funny side of just about anything. People often ask why I don’t just adopt him myself, and I sometimes wish I could. How do I give up a dog who has been a part of my life for years, who I’ve spent countless hours and dollars on training, who has been through several agility classes with me, who has developed a following on my blog and on Facebook? A dog who loves to go on walks, loves car rides and stuffy toys, thinks rolling on his back in the grass is the best thing ever, and is pretty sure that he’s entitled to chew on absolutely anything he can get his mouth on? I adore Ziggy and he always makes me laugh, but I am constantly trying to find someone to adopt him. I’ve ordered him his own business cards which are now in several area businesses – he has his own website and his own Facebook page – I have done everything I can to find him a new home, or even a new foster home. Not because I don’t want him here, but because he isn’t great with other dogs, and he needs a home where he can be the only dog so he can get all the love and attention that he deserves. But even when that finally happens, Ziggy will always be my most memorable foster dog.
Ziggy has earned his CGC certification and learned agility while waiting in foster care.
Laurie fosters through All Paws Rescue near St Louis, Missouri. You can follow her amazing fostering career on her always-entertaining blog, Dog Foster Mom. If you or somebody you know might be the perfect family for Ziggy, check out his very own website here.
Laurie – you are amazing! I hope you know that. The dogs & cats that you’ve fostered are lucky indeed. I have thought about fostering – honestly, I just don’t know that I could ever let one go (can you say “foster failure”) but reading these posts these past few days, I see that the rewards far outweigh any negatives. Love the pics, by the way. Cannot believe that Ziggy is not in his forever home – he’s adorable!! Thank you for all that you do!
I am always in awe of Laurie and all of her work with fostering. Reading about her experiences and hearing her devotion to rescue is what really made us take the first step to take on our first foster little red Wilma. Plus, we’ve always been a fan of Ziggy. Laurie is a true fostering hero!
I am a huge fan of her blog. I think it was one of the first ones that I found where somebody wrote about their fostering experience. And it definitely made me think about fostering. It is really amazing that she can handle a full time job and a full house of animals. The world is better because of people like her.
And I hope that Ziggy will find a perfect family soon.
Ive always loved both ziggy and laurie. Thank you for sharing!
Love Laurie and I love the Ziggster!
Aleksandra, you’ve lined up some great posts and I’m really enjoying this series right now.
Laurie–it was great reading your post here. I’m one of your (and Ziggy’s) biggest fans.
I’ve loved these guest posts. Laurie is certainly a hero in my eyes.
I believe that there is a perfect family out there just waiting to find Ziggy.
We LUUUUUV Miss Laurie AND Ziggy! Hers was one of the first bloggies we ever read. Even when her posties are sad or she talks about some of the harder parts of fostering, she makes us happy cuz it’s just nice to know there are peoples like her out in the world who care so very much. And even though we know it would be hard for ALL of us to lets Ziggy go, we still keep our paws crossed that someday he finds a home of his own (with maybe circus clowns or a pack of beavers) where he can be the center of attention.

I press on toward the goal, for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."
Faith in Jesus is not only refusing to see beyond him, or trying to see beyond him; it is also not looking back. "No man", said Jesus, "having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God" (Lk. 9:62).
Jesus carves a "new and living way" for us every day. Ahead of Jesus, as far as we can see, is nothing but tangled wilderness and darkness, and behind us there is only the same. Just as God brought the waters of the Red Sea back together after the Israelites crossed the sea on dry ground, forbidding any retreat, so the tangled darkness of this world closes together behind us, leaving us no way to go but to follow the Lord Jesus.
This is why Paul said that he forgot what was behind him. He was determined to put all his hope in Christ, to go where he led and to do only as he did. And that is very great wisdom.
Forget what is behind. If you needed whatever it is that is behind you, Jesus would have let you stay there, or bring it with you. And by "behind", I mean whatever is behind, I do not mean only what is years behind you, I mean everything, even if it was fifteen minutes ago. Jesus is alive!
What difference does it make if we are living by a tradition that is two thousand years old or two minutes old? Jesus is alive. He is now! God told Moses to strike a rock at Mount Horeb, and he did it and was blessed. Later, God told Moses to speak to a rock at Kadesh-barnea, but Moses chose to do what God had told him to do at Mount Horeb instead. He looked back. He did not "forget what was behind", and he was severely punished for it.
I know that Jesus was baptized in water. Forget it. It is behind him. I know that God once ordained for His priests to burn incense. Forget it. It is behind His priests now. I know that God commanded His people to observe sacred feast days. Forget them. They are behind His people now. Millions are eating the worm-infested manna of the era of ceremonial works. Of holy days and fleshly feasts. That is not what Jesus is saying today.
God would not allow His saints to eat even day-old manna in the first covenant. Does He now expect us to live by what Jesus said yesterday? "Today is the day of salvation." Christ said, "I am that bread of life. Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. This is the bread that comes from heaven, which a man may eat of and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven; if any man eat this bread, he shall live forever" (Jn. 6:48-51a). How old is the manna you are eating?
In Matthew 10:5-6, Jesus strictly commanded his disciples not to go to the Gentiles with the gospel. A few years later, he commanded a very reluctant Peter to go to a Gentile's house. Peter liked the old manna, but God had something better for him – and for us! Under the Law of Moses, God sternly warned the Israelites, on penalty of eternal death, not to eat certain kinds of animals (Lev. 11), and when He offered to Peter the new manna of permission to eat "unclean animals", Peter argued against it. "Not so, Lord!" Peter cried out. "For I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean" (Acts 10:14). But nothing is unclean except what God says is unclean today! Therefore, He replied to Peter, "What I have cleansed, do not call common."
Believing what God says now rather than what God said to Moses and Israel way back then, Paul taught that "Every creature is good, and is to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth", and he condemned religious teachers who still forbade the eating of certain meats, as if what God said long ago was still being said by the Spirit today (1Tim. 4:3).
Do not look back. The road that Jesus made for you yesterday is no longer there. Listen to his voice now, as the prophet said, "Today, if you will hear his voice, do not harden your heart, as in the day of provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness. . . . But exhort one another while it is called Today" (Heb. 3:7-9, 13).

Shaker architecture. The Shakers (or United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing) were founded by the English-born Ann Lee (1736–84), who emigrated to America in 1774 and gathered around her sufficient followers to establish a religious sect. Believing that odd or fanciful styles of architecture, with mouldings, cornices, etc., should be eschewed, the Shakers created plain meetinghouses in which they could perform their ‘round dances’ that were part of their ritual, so large areas of floor space were essential. Believing also that light and cleanliness were the antithesis of evil, buildings had numerous windows. One of the finest is the Round Barn, Hancock, MA (1826—supposedly designed by Daniel Goodrich (1765–1835) ), and indeed at Hancock are several excellent examples of Shaker architecture. Among the meetinghouses those at New (now Mount) Lebanon, NY (1785—replaced 1824), and Pleasant Hill, KY (designed by Micajah Burnett (1791–1829), deserve mention. Burnett and Moses Johnson (1752–1842) seem to have been the most important Shaker architects and builders. In addition to the agreeably serene buildings, Shaker furniture has been much admired for its graceful simplicity and excellent construction.
