See the thing is, you can question government. That's a good thing. And blindly trusting government is generally a bad idea, yes. But in this day and age, especially in this day and age, cooking up idiotic theories about 9/11, and even worse, allowing some fucking nutjob moron -- who already was stupid enough to work for the bush administration (in a capacity that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with national security, aviation, architecture, structural engineering, physics...) in the first place -- to get some airtime in a local Boulder paper, to basically assert that what I fucking saw with my own eyes did not happen, is bad for the liberal cause.
People like this give liberals the bad name that The Sean Hannity People are trying to associate us with, and it pisses me off. Especially when the Boulder Weekly runs this shit story on the eve of the fourth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. This is why I wrote several years ago about what an asshole Michael Moore is. After I wrote that, my friends would ask: "why do you think MM is an ass? I'd have thought you'd like him." But no, he takes things too far, just like this fucking moron Morgan Reynolds. Reynolds is worse in fact, since he has no idea what the hell he's talking about. He was Bush's Chief Economist, yet he seems to think he knows about aviation crash investigation. I think he's a douchebag.
Reynolds read a book that purports that the US government blew up the WTC, then he did some exercising of his own feeble brain and concluded that the attacks of September Eleventh were orchestrated by the US covernment, and that the "FAA" and "NORAD" -- presumably from the top down, which involves a hell of a lot of people -- were complicit. I think Reynolds is a stupid fucking moron.
Yes, I'm upset.
I'm upset because people like Reynolds, and the Boulder Weekly who give this moron a voice, and Michael Moore, et al., undermine the entire effort of level-headed liberals like myself and thousands of others, who know there's some bad shit going on in this world but also recognize that there's a realm of possibility and there's a realm of culpability and that's what we need to be focusing on.
To suggest that no planes were involved, as the author of the book -- and Reynolds lends credence to -- is just ridiculous, and is the kind of nugget that Rush and Company will devour and place center stage, as a basis for devaluing everything that comes out of any politician with a (D) after their name. The conservatives will sleep well at night, with Rush and Sean laughing about guys like Reynolds, using their borderline-psychotic ravings to make the case for precisely the opposite side. And that's why I can't stand Michael Moore, and Reynolds, and Griffin and Falk.
With Rove on the other side, we need to be smarter than this.
As an aside, I have republished my eyewitness account of the attack on the World Trade Center, since it appears that some people think they can rewrite history now that four whole years have passed:
Can we please think of the victims today, and nothing else?

There’s a lot to like in Zadie Smith’s award winning first novel, White Teeth: the characters are well drawn and cover a broad spectrum; the episodes are well constructed and often quite fun; the themes are all important and developed well; and the novel is that excellent blend of entertainment and understanding that makes for a good read and lasting impressions.
The characters vary from Bengali and Jamaican immigrants to working class Brits with an intellectual thrown in now and then. The episodes mostly take part in an England that is assimilating a great variety of new cultures. The time-sequence and multiple narrators bounce around a bit in order to insert the backstories and viewpoints of the characters but for the most part the narrative is never lost or confused.
I saw the theme less as a story on assimilation than as a story of diversity. Too much of the history of the world has been spent on assimilation. In White Teeth, do we look to see the various immigrants become anglicized—to become good Brits—or do we see that it is the influx of new people, new ideas, new cultures, which will allow the world we call Britain to grow and thrive.
Samad describes the England to a younger Irie:
“These days, it feels to me like you make a devil’s pact when you walk into this country. You hand over your passport at the check-in, you get stamped, you want to make a little money, get yourself started . . . but you mean to go back! Who would want to stay? Cold, wet, miserable; terrible food, dreadful newspapers—who would want to stay? In a place where you are never welcomed, only tolerated. Just tolerated. Like you are an animal finally housebroken. Who would want to stay? But you have made a devil’s pact . . . it drags you in and suddenly you are unsuitable to return, your children are unrecognizable, you belong nowhere.”
“And then you begin to give up the very idea of belonging. Suddenly this thing, this belonging, it seems like some long, dirty lie . . . and I begin to believe that birthplaces are accidents, that everything is an accident. But if you believe that, where do you go? What do you do? What does anything matter”
As Samad described this dystopia with a look of horror, Irie was ashamed to find the land of accidents sounded like paradise to her. Sounded like freedom.
Later on Abdul-Colin gives his assessment of England:
“They have no faith, the English. They believe in what men make, but what men make crumbles. Look at their empire. This is all they have. Charles II Street and South Africa House and a lot of stupid-looking stone men on stone horses. The sun rises and sets on it in twelve hours, no trouble. This is what is left”
These immigrants see Britain as a country that can use new cultures.
But as the narrative moves towards a conclusion, it becomes more concerned with how the various and quite different parts of the society come together to focus on the strength in their differences as the new year opens for the lives of all the characters. This is key: one narrative thread would have had the end of the world occurring at midnight, but it didn’t happen.
Some rather powerful neighborhood forces come together at the end of the novel. Lives were changed. The new year brought white teeth, young love, bacon sandwiches … and the mouse got away.
One thought on “White Teeth”
You make me want to re-read it!

The PTU Sustainer Circle met for the first time last week. Sustainers are donors that contribute to our work every month with a recurring donation. Seeing people’s values lead them to make such a commitment is inspiring to us, and also creates an important baseline for our organizational budget. The Sustainer Circle is a place for multi-faith supporters to meet each other and share their experiences and observations with PTU staff. This local experience and insight about the state of multi-faith relations in different counties is important feedback for us when we are designing new programs.
Our meeting last week centered on the questions, “What has recently given you cause for concern in your local community? And what has given you joy and hope?”
Some talked about the adverse reaction members of their community are having to the changing demographics of our region. They discussed the fear that some seemed to be operating out of, leading to actions such as an intimidating-looking truck convoy that recently drove through Edmonds on a Sunday morning.
Some of our Sustainers recognized that there is a need for deep listening, asking questions, and trying to understand where people are coming from. Most people, they said, want to be understood. Once understood, they can often relax a bit.
We also talked about how PTU’s work had opened some of our supporters’ eyes to how many hate groups are operating in Western Washington, and how widespread disinformation about some cultural and religious communities.
Everyone at the Sustainer Circle said they were feeling a loss of social cohesion. They felt that so many of us are feeling distant and even distrustful of others. One person said: “I was struck by one phrase I heard tonight: ‘The common good.’ I can’t remember the last time I heard that word.”
At PTU, we’ve been looking closely and the dynamics of separation that we see in so many communities. It is the central issue we will be addressing with our programming this year, next, and for the foreseeable future. When people know each other more, they can relax a bit. When they work together for the common good, they see each other in a new light, become curious about each other, and find their trust renewed. This is even more powerful when such encounters are experienced right in their own communities. When they see diverse people working for this common good, it can lead to change in people’s assessment of what our growing diversity means for them.
As one of the founders of our parent organization, Father William Treacy, recently said to me, “Words are not enough. We must act together out of love for our community to rebuild our community.”
I’ll be sharing more about our new major program with you during our Spring Fundraising campaign in May. We’ll be talking about what you can do in your own community to work on rebuilding social trust. We will share how PTU can help prepare your community for this important work – and how we can all find new purpose as we go beyond speaking and listening, to directly participating in this positive change.
What are you seeing in your neighborhood? We value hearing your experiences and local perspectives. Feel free to email our Director of Communications at email@example.com.

A portrait of a good friend, I don’t see often enough.
A portrait of a good friend, I don’t see often enough.
This week the internet is awash with #deepdream images. I shan’t go into detail about how they are produced, other people have done a fine job of explaining the process.
The code, released by google, offers a playground for investigating the inner workings of neural networks. This rather dry area of research has been made much more attractive by the ability to create psychedelic visual outputs. There are #puppyslugs everywhere.
In one of my past-lives, I built neural network models as a means to model human language acquisition. Part of my research involved delving inside the networks and creating a visualisation of what they were doing. However, this was 1994, and I certainly didn’t have access to the kind of computing power (or datasets) that Google has, and hence the models were much more simplistic. But it’s fascinating to see a niche area of academia come into it’s own in the age of big-data.
I couldn’t resist having a play with it too. Here’s one of Alan Moore.
It’s a shame that backlash comes so quickly, perhaps it’s the natural result of people excitedly showing off their experiments in real time to a fickle, attention-impaired audience.
Seriously b4 I go on the web are we @ peak #deepdream psytranceinception slugeyed dognosed fucking ugly psychabortion pish 90's fractal yet?
— hagbard celine (@amoebadesign) July 3, 2015
I think part of the problem is the apparent lack of human involvement in the process – it is likened to using a photoshop filter, a one-click solution to all your trippy visual needs. So far, all of the examples have treated whole images, and the visual overload of so many disparate elements can be overwhelming.
Below are some of my own experiments, where I’ve attempted to limit the range of the effect, using it on only part of the image, and juxtaposing the effect against reality.
As a final experiment, I fed some of these images back into Wolfram alpha’s image recognition system to see what the machine-mind thought they were:
There are a lot of futurists on twitter – or at least a lot of people who fancy themselves as futurists. Wikipedia defines them thus:
Futurists or futurologists are scientists and social scientists whose specialty is futurology, or the attempt to systematically explore predictions and possibilities about the future and how they can emerge from the present, whether that of human society in particular or of life on Earth in general.
They live at the weird intersection of fantasy and prediction, or ‘speculative fiction’ as they like to call it. They flourish in the space between the worlds of academia, contemporary art and business, marking their territory with a dense and otiose jargon of buzzwords and neologisms that make little sense to those outside-the-know.
As @timmaughn points out, sometimes it feels like an echochamber.
Considering satirical novel about the 'futurist' community, but who buys books about a tiny echo chamber outside of that tiny echo chamber?
— Tim Maughan (@timmaughan) April 30, 2015
It’s not just the futurists – we are all living in echo-chambers of our own making. We select the sources we follow with care, and avoid opinions we may find objectionable – filter-bubbles of like minds and like personalities. This felt especially true recently, as The Conservatives were elected into government in the UK. Many on the left were shocked by the result, demonstrating how their filter-bubbles were totally at odds with the mood of the electorate at large.
This bot attempts to infiltrate the filter bubble of the futurists, by being an echo of their culture.
The bot creates tweets based on a series of templates, but the nouns and adjectives are derived from the words of the futurists it is following. Tweets are sometimes accompanied by an image, selected from blogs like new-aesthetic and algopop and elsewhere.
There is a degree of curation involved, I algorithmically generate a few hundred tweets at a time, and then pick out the best. I also select the images – though the decision of which image to pair with a tweet is left to the algo.
There is a collaboration going on here, between me and the code, much like my recent 100 algo-Kims & 100 algo-Kanyes.
Diogenes is my favourite ancient greek philosopher.
Diogenes made a virtue of poverty. He begged for a living and often slept in a large ceramic jar in the marketplace. He became notorious for his philosophical stunts such as carrying a lamp in the daytime, claiming to be looking for an honest man. He criticized and embarrassed Plato, disputed his interpretation of Socrates and sabotaged his lectures, sometimes distracting attendees by bringing food and eating during the discussions. Diogenes was also responsible for publicly mocking Alexander the Great.
Here I have painted him holding a plucked chicken, a reference to one of his infamous run-ins with Plato.
Plato liked to ‘interpret’ Socrates, and on one occasion spoke of his definition of man as a “featherless biped”.
Allegedly, Diogenes plucked a chicken and brought it into Plato’s Academy, saying, “Behold! I’ve brought you a man.”
The British people have used their democratic right to re-elect the Conservatives into Government in the UK.
In forming a new government, Theresa May has kept her job as Home Secretary. Within less that 24 hours of the election, she announced that she will be pushing ahead with the Communications data bill, or Snooper’s Charter.
The bill effectively legalises the monitoring of *all* communications within the UK.
The pursuit of state level surveillance is more than a disturbing abuse of technology, it represents a fundamental ideological shift previously pursued only in the strictest of dictatorships.
This twitterbot never tweets.
@theresamaybot simply adds you to a series of Twitter lists.
She never talks to you, she never tweets publicly, nor gives any rationale for her decision.
How does it feel to be placed on a list?
She chooses her targets based on keywords she finds in your public tweets. Imagine if she could read your email too…
If you want to be a target, simply follow @theresamaybot or mention her in a tweet.
This is, of course, a parody of the complex data-driven surveillance programmes operated by GCHQ and others, but this process of algorithmic classification is behind all State level surveillance systems.
If this bothers you, I suggest you make your voice heard.

Jiiva's Seeru | 3 Minutes suspenseful scene | D Imman
Seeru is an upcoming action entertainer written and directed by Rathina Shiva. This happens to be his second directorial after Vijay Sethupathi’s Rekka. It must be noted that he had earlier worked with Arun Vijay for a film titled Vaa Deal which did not hit the screens because of financial reasons. Seeru features the likes of Jiiva and Riya Suman in the lead roles while Joshua Imai Pol Kaakha hero Varun will be seen playing the negative role in the film. The makers have now released a 3 minutes suspenseful scene from the film which does create excitement to watch the film.
Produced by Ishari Ganesh’s Vels Film International, Seeru has tunes by D Imman who scored tunes for Rathina Shiva’s previous film as well. T Prasanna Kumar takes care of the cinematography while Lawrence Kishore handles the editing departments. Seeru will be a crucial film in Jiiva’s career who hasn’t had a hit in a very long time. His last hit was Kalakalappu 2 which released in the early 2018. We hope Seeru turns out to be successful for Jiiva. The film is all set to hit the screens on February 7th. Now check out this interesting sneak peek from Seeru.

On National Geographic today a large lion family was filmed enduring a severe drought. It rained six months ago. Hunting was difficult because of hot conditions and lack of cover. There was a cub, named junior by the film crew, badly injured resulting from a run in with buffalo. His pelvis was broken leaving his back legs inoperable. He dragged his broken body trying his best to keep up with his family. His brothers tried to assist but didn’t know what to do.
I saw this little spirit, so new to a wonderful and dangerous world wanting so badly to experience everything, wanting to play with his brothers, wanting affection from mother and aunts, but that strong spirit isn’t enough is it? When a body is broken there is nothing but the end. How hard to reconcile. When I watched him trying so hard to lift his body over a small embankment, not giving up, pulling with all his might, and making it up. Yet he could never overcome. While I watched I watched my emotions. I cried a bit feeling for this young spirit. I felt the emotion of unfairness, injustice, no mercy, no redemption, sorrow, defeat. The cliche this is life makes one think there is no fairness. Of course his spirit goes on into a new form. Maybe his new fate is to have a long happy life.
I have come to recognize that life isn’t about the individual or the species. It isn’t about what we do. It isn’t about what we think. It isn’t about what we feel. I may want to believe that. That life is about what I perceive, what I think, taste, hear, etc. But I think life is a result of a force, a creative force I call God. In man there is will. Will to kill, to die, to fly, to live with insects, to constantly move upstream, to be carried by currents. If ego controls will, life will be ugly. Always chasing any paltry reward society can offer. If heart controls will, then life will be wondrous.
I think there is an invisible current carrying us all towards higher consciousness. This current is consciousness itself. The nature of consciousness is expansion. We are dew drops riding the ocean. But does individual consciousness affect the whole? Is greater consciousness aware of individual suffering? How about suffering of six million?
Is it a mistake to wonder about ones purpose? To me it is clear ones purpose isn’t to satisfy ego wants. It is to remove all the facades created by mind. What is there but emptiness? Not the emptiness of loneliness but the emptiness of eternity. Beauty and vastness and mystery all right there inaccessible by even acute senses. How to access the current which runs through me right now? How to release into it? How to say goodbye to everything? How to let it take you away from things, language, conflict, and everything primate. Take me Lord. I am ready.

The conventional answer to this would be Jane Eyre, who is, after all, the protagonist of the novel and a sort of stand in for the author herself. I think that it might be more interesting though, to argue that it is only by several rather improbable plot manipulations that the author manages to pull off the Rochester-Jane Eyre romance. To make it convincing, the author ends up gifting Jane with a fortune, killing off Bertha, and mutilating Rochester, as well as several other improbabilities including telepathic communication.
In a more realistic novel, Blanche, a beautiful young woman of Rochester's own social and economic class, would be an obvious match for Rochester. It is true that Blanche's motives are primarily financial, but that was how marriage worked among the upper classes of the period. Blanche's background would have made her skilled in managing a large household of servants. The bigamy plot would work equally well with Blanche as the romantic interest. Moreover, Blanche and Rochester, both cynical and worldly, would have been a more appropriate match and probably had a better marriage than the older, worldly Rochester and the far younger, unsophisticated, and sternly moralistic Jane.

Groningen hosts the most successful event ever for National Day of Catalonia
Last Sunday, Catalans in Groningen celebrated the most popular Catalonian event, the National Day of Catalonia, to the surprise of Groningers and Catalans themselves.
September the 11th commemorates the day when the Spanish army defeated Catalan troops, leading to Catalonia falling under Spanish rule in 1714. This year, Catalan residents in Groningen organised a celebration themselves. Nine people gathered, and took a picture holding Catalan flags at an iconic Groningen landmark before having a picnic in the park.
“In recent years, these celebrations have had an extra political connotation, as Spanish central Government is not willing to recognise the Catalans rights and Catalan Government’s requests”, says Blanca Civit, a former resident of Groningen, who created the online group Catalans in Groningen in 2014.
“For non-Catalans, it might sound strange that we celebrate a lost historic battle against the old Spanish Kingdom. But now it’s all about getting our voices heard.”
This year, Blanca was surprised to hear about the success of the event, saying that gatherings are usually small or inexistent. There was no event last year, and in 2014 only 7 people showed up, despite the 300th anniversary of the battle.
‘Honestly I didn’t expect that there was a meeting in Groningen, but I was happy to see that other Catalans that were there wanted to meet for the Diada,’ the National Day of Catalonia, says Isolda Cuesta, who attended on Sunday.
According to Sergi Trias Llimos, a Catalan student living in Groningen, the fact that many Catalan students are only in Groningen for a short period of time makes it hard to organise gatherings. ‘It seems to me the group has been reactivated.’
In Rotterdam, the National Assembly of Catalans in the Netherlands (ANC Nederland) celebrated early on the 9th September, inviting a member of the Catalan parliament to speak at the event.
Tapaseria Catalana, a restaurant in Groningen, was not aware of the event nor of the National Day of Catalonia. The Dutch owners told the MAJ that they opened their restaurant as they ‘wanted to copy the style of Barcelona’ in Groningen, and they would welcome Catalan events being organised there.

Months ago, a woman did something that in easier times would not have been unusual. She gave blood. And then it changed everything.
It started on March 17 when Marisa Leuzzi, a 2011 public relations graduate of West Virginia University, received a phone call from a hospital near her home outside of Philadelphia. Four days after going through the hospital’s drive-through COVID-19 testing process, the test came back positive.
She developed symptoms a few days earlier, including a fever that would go on to last for about eight days. Leuzzi, who has asthma, wanted to get tested because of the complications COVID-19 can cause in the respiratory system.
“I just wanted to talk to the doctor before it advanced,” she said. “I didn’t really think it was COVID at the time, but it turned out that it was a mild case of it. For me, the fever that I had was about the worst of it.”
Around that same time, Leuzzi’s aunt, Renee Bannister, was also diagnosed with COVID-19, the disease resulting from the new coronavirus.
While Leuzzi’s condition improved, Bannister’s health continued to decline. By March 22, the 63-year-old was admitted to the ICU and put on a ventilator.
The whole time Leuzzi was on the mend from the virus, her mind kept thinking about her aunt a few hours away.
The person they knew as a happy, healthy teacher was now in a hospital bed in a medically induced coma with a ventilator working at 90%. It was a brutal time — and her family wasn’t able to visit her at the hospital.
Instead, they FaceTimed her with the help of one of the nurses — hoping each time to see a little glimmer of hope.
“You’re hoping for the best but preparing yourself for the worst. Everything just seemed to be moving so fast and furious, it was hard to grasp what was happening,” Leuzzi said. “We truly believed that she could hear us and knew what they were saying to her.
“Every time someone would talk to her, her heart rate would go up. It was kind of like our sign that we needed some days. It showed us she was still there.”
Leuzzi was committed to finding a way to help.
She remembered reading about an experimental treatment, one that had not yet been approved by the FDA, in which the antibodies in the plasma of a patient who had recovered from COVID-19 could be donated to a patient who currently had it as a way to attack the virus. And, after talking to her uncle and bringing the idea and the studies up to Bannister’s doctors, Leuzzi became the first American Red Cross plasma donor in the United States.
The family worked with a team of doctors, as well as representatives from both the Red Cross and the Mayo Clinic, to help get federal approval of the infusion. After finding out she was a plasma match with her aunt and that she tested negative for COVID-19, Leuzzi gave her plasma donation at the Red Cross on March 31.
The night before Bannister was given the plasma, doctors told the family they were unsure if she would make it through the night to undergo that treatment.
“The doctors were trying to stay positive with us but also not give us false hope,” Leuzzi said. “This was really the last resort, so we had nothing to lose at this point by trying.”
Bannister received the plasma from her niece.
In less than six hours, her blood-oxygen levels began to improve.
As her condition stabilized, doctors were able to slowly reduce her medications.
By April 14, she was off the ventilator.
On April 21, she was discharged from the hospital.
“We never really knew if she’d ever get to this point,” Leuzzi said. “The days felt like months, and we were just waiting and waiting, hoping for the best. She’s been through a lot.”
After her hospital stay, Bannister spent a few weeks in a rehab facility going through physical and occupational therapy. She’s home and continuing her recovery with the help of her family.
Leuzzi is working in the Philadelphia area, and she said she can’t help but notice all the WVU connections she sees every day.
“I’m working with one of my friends from WVU right now. We still have that bond that we had back then, and it’s great,” Leuzzi said. “They also have an alumni chapter here that will have picnics and watch parties, and it’s just nice to feel like I always have that little piece of Morgantown here in Philly.”
After her aunt received the plasma treatment, Leuzzi was told doctors were able to use the remaining plasma to help another man in the same hospital.
Much like Bannister, this patient had been critically ill and on a ventilator — only to improve drastically in the days following the treatment.
Leuzzi said she still hasn’t quite wrapped her head around the fact that her plasma donation seems to have helped two people. And, she said she hopes stories like hers will help other patients who have recovered realize they can do the same thing.
“What we went through and what other families are going through is hard, but if we can use stories like ours and see that it helps encourage other recovered patients to donate, then that’s amazing,” she said.

Prayer for Daily Gratitude and Thankfulness
Heavenly Father, my day-to-day routine is so busy. So much so that I sometimes forget to stop to thank you for all that is good in my life. My blessings are many and my heart is filled with gratefulness for the gift of living, for the ability to love and be loved, for the opportunity to see the everyday wonders of creation. I want to thank you, for those things in my life that are less than I would hope them to be. Sometimes life is very hard, and it’s a struggle to keep my head above water. Things that seem challenging, unfair, or difficult often hurts. When my heart feels stretched and empty, and pools of tears form in my weary eyes, still I will rejoice that You are as near to me as my next breath and that in the midst of turbulence, I am growing and learning. In the silence of my soul, I thank you most of all for Your unconditional love.
Prayer for the Gratitude of God’s Unfailing Love
Lord, I am so thankful for the relationship that I have with You. Precious Lord, You initiated this relationship by what Your Son endeavored to accomplish, paying the price for my sins and those of my brothers and sisters, thus redeeming and reconciling me.
You know the times I have been ungrateful, held ill thoughts toward You and others. You know the times I complain and grumble about life and its circumstances, but You love me regardless even when I’m ungrateful. I am thankful Lord for everything that You allow to cross my path. I am thankful for the decisions that You allow me to make, and the life lessons that come from these decisions. I’m thankful, Lord, that I do not have to live under condemnation anymore, and that You have truly set me free! Amen.
Prayer for God’s Thanksgiving
God of all blessings, source of all life, giver of all grace in all things, I want to thank you for the gift of life, for the breath that sustains life, for the food of this earth that nurtures life, and for the love of family and friends without which there would be little happiness in life. I thank you for the beauty of creation of this great Earth, for the joy that the ear may hear, for the unknown that we cannot behold filling the universe with wonder, and for the expanse of space that draws us beyond the definitions of our selves. Everything in my life, and the life that surrounds me was drawn and created by Your own hand. For this, I am grateful. Amen.
Prayer for Gratitude Towards Our Heavenly Father
I am so grateful for everything that You have given me. Thank you so much for the loved ones in my life, and for the many ways in which I am cared for and supported on a day to day basis. Thank you for the many ways I can serve and give to others. Thank you for the rich tapestry of colors throughout creation, for the beauty that is all around me, and for the skies and the ever-changing environment that surrounds me. My heart is so grateful for all that You have bestowed me within my life. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. It is in Your name that I sing my praises!
Prayer for Gratitude and Thanks In the Morning
Lord, thank you for the goodness in my life. When I wake each morning, I praise Your name! You have given me life that is filled with beauty, and the breath in my lungs is a gift from You. I pray that You will fill my day with love and sustenance. And may I remember at the end of each of my day’s, to thank you for all that has been placed in my life. In Your precious name I pray these things!
Prayer of Thankfulness for Blessings Received
My Precious Father, how I praise and thank You for Your many and great blessings that You have showered over us all, despite our foolish ways and sinful pride. How great You are, and what a gracious God that You should care for me despite my manner towards you and others at times. Thank You Father for Your unconditional and everlasting love. May I grow more and more to be like You. I ask that You continue to guide and teach me in all that I say and do, and that I may do all according to Your will. I ask You to continue to pour our Your bountiful blessings and mercy on myself and my whole family. Amen.
Prayer of Thankfulness for the Blessing of Jesus Christ
Our dear heavenly Father, may Your name be glorified for You alone are worthy, for You looked down on our pitiful world and chose to give Your only Beloved Son to be the perfect sacrifice to pay the price for the sins of all of Your people. There are no words that are sufficient enough to praise and bless You for all that You have poured over the heads of Your children, and into the hearts of those that love and trust You. You alone are worthy of our thanksgiving and praise, and we bless Your name forever and ever, amen.

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to gather with family and friends and reflect on the blessings of the last year. Many of us experience renewed hope and faith during the Thanksgiving holiday because we turn our eyes onto what is most important. What if we spent time each day in giving thanks and prayer? How could God grow out faith and trust if we lived a life of thanks through all seasons and not just Thanksgiving time? When your heart is filled with gratitude, there is little room to worry or complain.
We would love to encourage and help you along the way toward greater hope and joy! Below are 9 thanksgiving prayers you can use not only for Thanksgiving day but throughout the year. Start living out the promises of God that Jesus came “that they may have life, and have it to the full.” John 10:10.
Prayer 1: A Daily Thanksgiving Prayer
“Dear God, Thank you for your amazing power and work in our lives, thank you for your goodness and for your blessings over us. Thank you for your great love and care. Thank you for your sacrifice so that we might have freedom and life. Forgive us for when we don’t thank you enough, for who you are, for all that you do, for all that you’ve given. Help us to set our eyes and our hearts on you afresh. Renew our spirits, fill us with your peace and joy. We love you and we need you, this day and every day. We give you praise and thanks, for You alone are worthy! In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Prayer 2: A Prayer for a Thankful Heart
“Lord, teach me to offer you a heart of thanksgiving and praise in all my daily experiences of life. Teach me to be joyful always, to pray continually and to give thanks in all my circumstances. I accept them as Your will for my life (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18). I long to bring pleasure to Your heart daily. Break the power of the enemy in my life. Defeat Him through my sacrifice of praise. Change my outlook and attitude into one of joyful contentment with my present circumstances. I thank You for…
Jesus, I want to be like You who obeyed the Father without complaint. You embraced the chains of humanity when You walked this earth. Convict me whenever I complain or compare myself with others. Give me Your attitude of humility and thankful acceptance. I want to be like the Apostle Paul who learned contentment in every circumstance. I choose to continually offer You a sacrifice of praise, the fruit of lips that give praise to Your name (Hebrews 13:15). I long to bring a smile to Your face. Teach me the power of a thankful heart. I know that Your truth dwells in a thankful heart.
“I will give thanks to the LORD because of His righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High. O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens” (Psalm 7:17-18:1). In Jesus’ name, amen.”

Prayer 3: A Short Prayer of Thanks
“God, sometimes life gets me down and I find it hard to see things to be thankful for. Open my eyes to see the gifts you’ve given me in my life. I’m going to start by thanking you for loving me enough to come to earth and die so we can live together forever. Amen.”
– Wendy van Eyck, Contributor
Prayer 4: A Prayer for Thanksgiving Day
Father God, today I thank You for the provisions of my life…
I thank You for the people in my life…
I thank You for the opportunities You have given to me in my life…
I thank You for the acceptance and forgiveness You have lavished upon me in spite of my sinful actions and choices…
I thank You for the healing You have brought into my life—physical and emotional… I thank You for the way You have brought me back from the darkness that
lurks in my soul and the choices I could have made that would have landed
me in a pit—or the choices I have made that did land me in a pit…
I thank You for the desires of my heart that You have satisfied with good things…
And the desires that I have not yet seen satisfied. Help me to be confident because of the grace You have given to me in so many others ways, that even my unmet desires would be something I could be grateful for…Amen.
Excerpted with permission from Day 31 of Prayers for Today (Moody Publishers, 2011) by Pastor Kurt Bjorklund.
Prayer 5: A Prayer to Teach Kids Thankfulness
“Lord, I pray that the message of Christ and his sacrifice is the root of gratitude in my heart. That His gracious gift leads me to thankful living, setting an example for my children. That they will have their own relationship with Jesus one day, and that You would grow gratitude in their hearts out of the acceptance of Jesus as their Savior. Lead us to do everything in the name of Jesus and give thanks to You through Him.”
– Marie Osborne, Contributor
Prayer 6: A Thanksgiving Day Prayer
“O Heavenly Father:
We thank Thee for food and remember the hungry.
We thank Thee for health and remember the sick.
We thank Thee for friends and remember the friendless.
We thank Thee for freedom and remember the enslaved.
May these remembrances stir us to service.
That Thy gifts to us may be used for others. Amen.”
– “Dear Abby” Columnist
Prayer 7: Thanksgiving Song (makes a wonderful prayer!)
“Grateful for each hand we hold
Gathered round this table.
From far and near we travel home,
Blessed that we are able.
Grateful for this sheltered place
With light in every window,
Saying welcome, welcome, share this feast
Come in away from sorrow.
Father, mother, daughter, son,
Neighbor, friend and friendless;
All together everyone in the gift of loving-kindness.
Grateful for whats understood,
And all that is forgiven;
We try so hard to be good,
To lead a life worth living.
Father, mother, daughter, son,
Neighbor, friend, and friendless;
All together everyone, let grateful days be endless.
Grateful for each hand we hold
Gathered round this table.”
– Mary Chapin Carpenter – Thanksgiving Song Lyrics
Prayer 8: A Prayer of Thanks for Our Many Blessings
“Oh God, You are so good. You are faithful and gracious and You have blessed me beyond measure. Thank you for everyday blessings to which I have become accustomed, but never want to take for granted: clean drinking water, electricity, food in my pantry, hot showers, a roof over my head, and a bed to sleep in.
Thank you for legs that carry me where I need to go and hands that enable me to accomplish many things. Thank you for my hearing and my vision and for a sound, healthy mind.
Thank you my family, my friends, my job, my neighbors. Thank you for freedom to attend my church, for my pastors, and for my small group(s) and my many relationships.
Thank you for the things You are doing in my heart and in my life. I’m grateful that by the power of Your Holy Spirit, I am much different today than I was 10 years ago, or a year ago. I am even different that I was at the beginning of this year, and it’s because of Your power at work in me, continually transforming me into Your image.
I love and adore You, Lord, and my heart overflows with gratitude for all these blessings. In the precious name of Jesus, Amen.”
excerpt from 3 Grateful Prayers to Prepare Your Heart for Thanksgiving by Julie K. Gillies
Prayer 9: 17 Statements of Gratitude
“Thank you, God for the times You have said “no.” They have helped me depend on You so much more.
Thank you, God, for unanswered prayer. It reminds me that You know what’s best for me, even when my opinion differs from Yours.
Thank You, Lord, for the things you have withheld from me. You have protected me from what I may never realize.
Thank You, God, for the doors You have closed. They have prevented me from going where You would rather not have me go.
Thank you, Lord, for the physical pain You’ve allowed in my life. It has helped me more closely relate to Your sufferings on my behalf.
Thank you, Lord, for the alone times in my life. Those times have forced me to lean in closer to You.
Thank you, God, for the uncertainties I’ve experienced. They have deepened my trust in You.
Thank You, Lord, for the times You came through for me when I didn’t even know I needed a rescue.
Thank You, Lord, for the losses I have experienced. They have been a reminder that You are my greatest gain.
Thank You, God, for the tears I have shed. They have kept my heart soft and mold-able.
Thank You, God, for the times I haven’t been able to control my circumstances. They have reminded me that You are sovereign and on the throne.
Thank You, God, for those people in my life whom You have called home to be with You. Their absence from this earth keeps my heart longing for heaven.
Thank You, God, that I have an inheritance in the heavenly places…something that this world can never steal from me and I could never selfishly squander.
Thank You, God, for the greatest gift You could ever give me: forgiveness through Your perfect Son’s death on the cross on my behalf.
Thank You, God, for the righteousness You credited toward me, through the death and resurrection of Jesus. It’s a righteousness I could never earn or attain on my own.
Thank You, Father, that You know me, You hear me, and You see my tears. Remind me through difficult times that You are God, You are on the throne, and You are eternally good.
And thank You, Lord, not only for my eternal salvation, but for the salvation You afford every day of my life as You save me from myself, my foolishness, my own limited insights, and my frailties in light of Your power and strength.”
– Cindy McMenamin, Author

Back By Popular Demand: This Bud's for You. Budweiser Beer Gear Past & Present.
Beer drinkers unite! I guess. Or maybe those of you that are nostalgic for Grandpa's beer can hat or those funny shorts your uncle used to wear for the Fourth of July BBQ...they were red, white and blue after-all. NYC's Supreme team recently dropped a collection of Budweiser apparel that is straight back to the future. Back in the 60's and 70's there were many clothing products made by different companies from Anheuser-Busch's Budweiser logo. Fabric was even made available to the retail market, so if you couldn't find what you wanted you could sew it up yourself...perhaps you wanted to cover your whole living room set. Now that's serious. Of course there was (and still is thanks to the BeerCanHatLady on eBay) the oh-so-memorable beer can hat. Even my own Grandma used to crochet these bad boys up. Speaking of which, it seems to me that some sort of Bud beer can head gear is clearly missing from the Supreme collection...hmmmm. Although Supreme is a dude's brand, a "lady" can rock most of these beer gear items and call them her own. Yes, I used Lady and "beer gear" in the same sentence. Just go with me on this one.

There is a need to crush more out of each resource, be it a small section of land or a drop of water, each and every accessible asset and resource needs to be fully utilised. What we need is ‘precision agriculture’.
The primary issue with the conventional crop spraying is that the pesticide usage efficiency is low. Just 40% of pesticide is utilised adequately and the remaining 60% of pesticide can’t control the pest, which causes a considerable measure of contamination on nature.
APEX offers agricultural drone solution to manufacturers in the industry and farmers in India. Drone data can be used to isolate areas with soil deficiencies like pH and nutrition imbalance and provide correcting measures to those areas. Other factors like temperature, moisture, slope, elevation and more detects areas which needs more or less frequent watering.
A drone can also efficiently spray the pesticides as it check the ground and splash measured fluid by balancing the separation starting from the earliest stage showering in the continuous for even scope.
Drones with thermal cameras can provide fantastic insights into water system by featuring regions that have pooling water or lacking soil dampness. These issues can extremely influence yield and quality. The drones give agriculturists a superior method to comprehend their field through more successive examinations and looking over.

Los Angeles - Scott Disick's home has been raided by thieves.
While the 32-year-old reality TV star was partying in Cannes, France, thieves stole "multiple timepieces worth a significant amount of money" from his Hidden Hills home and, according to TMZ, police believe the culprit was known to Scott as there is no sign of forced entry.

Jewellery is also reported to have been stolen.
Scott has previously bragged about his extensive watch collection; many of them are worth $10k each while he also has a Rolex Yacht-Master II watch in yellow gold worth $32k and another timepiece valued at $48k.
While Scott's home was being raided, he has been living it up in Cannes where he was spotted kissing model Christine Burke, 20, on a yacht last week.
The reality TV star - who split from Kourtney Kardashian, the mother of his three children, last year - was first linked to the brunette beauty in March when she joined him on a vacation to Mexico.
Angelina Jolie has been granted full custody of the six children she shares with Brad Pitt in a temporary custody deal. Read More »

Home to both the Emerald City (Seattle) and the Rose City (Portland) and thousands of square miles of forest in between, the Pacific Northwest embodies a relaxed, no-hassle lifestyle that helped launch a music revolution in the 20th century and a craft beer revolution in the 21st century. People who call this territory home thrive on the outdoors and nature, and the PacWest Adventure Sorento is the perfect companion to get them there.
[ads id=”0″ style=”float:left;padding:9px;”]Designed and hand-built by the creative team at LGE-CTS Motorsports, the exterior of the PacWest Adventure Sorento is the product of a labor-intensive, completely custom, multi-layer painting process utilizing pearls and candy effects that give the vehicle an ever-changing chameleon effect. Toned-down hues of electric and deep-forest green combine to capture the rugged beauty of the region. All chrome accents are painted matte black to provide some visual toughness to the Sorento’s sporty appearance. To scare away the shadows and potentially spot an errant Sasquatch running through the trees, the Sorento is equipped with twin LED low-profile light bars, one of which is mounted within the tubular sculpture of the front bumper, the other nestled into the roof rack.
To provide the PacWest Adventure Sorento with go-anywhere capability, LGE-CTS fabricated an all-new front under carriage assembly to allow for greater wheel travel and a taller stance. At the rear, retooled and lengthened connecting and trailing arms better locate the tires for off-road excursions and lend to the vehicle’s menacing stance.
In all, the PacWest Adventure Sorento rides six inches higher than a standard Sorento. The high-riding suspension enabled LGE-CTS to bolt on some serious off-road footwear in the form of LT285/70R17 Nitto Trail Grappler M/Ts, which are wrapped around a set of BMF’s new S.S.D. 17×8.5-in. beadlock-style wheels lurking beneath custom fender flares. Soaking up the rough-and-tumble Pacific Northwest landscape and keeping the PacWest Sorento sunny side up are Fox Racing 2.0 coilover shocks embraced by Eibach springs.
New fabricated front and rear bumpers with integrated wraparound steel skid plates and side bars protect the artistic paint job when the going gets rough. A MileMarker PE4500ES winch threaded with an ultra-strong synthetic strap will come in handy when others are mired in mud. LGE-CTS retained Kia’s signature “tiger nose” grille frame while utilizing free-breathing wire mesh from GrillCraft as a tasteful custom touch.
The tailor-made roof rack holds everything needed for an overnight camping trip, including an ARB tow strap and E-Z deflator kit. The stock Sorento’s 290 horsepower and 252 lb.-ft. of torque are enough for anything short of a vertical climb, but the new WFJ snorkel intake system allows the PacWest Adventure Sorento to be a land-based submersible.
The stock Sorento is focused on cosseting its occupants in supreme comfort. The PacWest Adventure Sorento, while still very comfortable, is more focused on its intention to get its passengers deep into the forests of the region and safely back out again.
Interior features include custom painted dash- and door-panel inserts, a Daystar switch panel and rocker switches to activate the LED lights, and rugged floor mats. Stitched Kia logos found in the headrests and the seat cushions include custom tire-tread embroidery with green leather back and thigh supports. A color 8-inch Alpine Mobile Media entertainment system with front camera rounds out an artfully crafted off-roader.

House Democrats apologized today for wrestling what appeared to be a winning vote tally away from Republicans last night.
Republicans continued to steam, however, over the episode, in which they appeared to be the winners by a 215-213 tally on a procedural motion designed to make sure illegal aliens would not get certain benefits from an agriculture spending bill.
Instead, with several lawmakers milling in the well of the House registering votes, Rep. Michael R. McNulty, New York Democrat, quickly gaveled the vote to a close, saying the Republican measure had failed on a 214-214 tie vote.
Republicans erupted, chanting “shame, shame, shame,” and then walked out in protest after Mr. McNulty permitted more Democrats to switch their votes to prevail on a 216-212 tally. Despite winning that tally, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, Maryland Democrat, moved for a revote as permitted under the rules, and Democrats subsequently prevailed.
The heavy-handed tactics capped a partisan week in the chamber, and Mr. Hoyer and Minority Leader John A. Boehner, Ohio Republican, promised to try to work out some accommodation.
Still, rank-and-file Republicans remained furious, and the House recessed this morning as its leaders pondered what to do.
Democrats changed House rules in January to disallow the practice of holding votes open to affect the outcome. The new rule came after Republicans routinely held open votes to twist arms, including a 2003 episode on the Medicare prescription drug bill in which Republicans held a vote open for three hours before finally prevailing.
“Never once did we in the majority attempt to steal a vote,” said Rep. Eric Cantor, Virginia Republican, today.
The stakes on the issue involved yesterday were far smaller. Democrats routinely had accepted comparable language on illegal aliens on other spending bills, but the agriculture measure was being debated under fast-track conditions denying Republicans a chance to offer the provision.

It baffles me that while I did all of the creative original work with Milk, this kid copies my work and he gets credited and praised for it. I dream one day of getting on that show and shooting drag queens because that is what I know I am great at.

Article by Gustavo Cristian Fritz
As a therapist, I have had and still have several cancer patients or with terminal chronic diseases and I would be lying if I would say I didn’t felt despair or powerlessness many times. As a dear teacher and friend of mine would say, each person who comes to us for a session does it to bring also a lesson and something to heal inside of us.
In my first years as a Reiki practitioner, I remember feeling powerless to seeing several clients transitioning and asking myself if I was doing the right thing by continuing taking those types of cases in which no improvements appeared. During that moment a new client with a similar case to the previous ones came in for a session but this time the Universe was preparing an answer to my questions without me knowing it. On our first healing session, Diego told me about his illness, advanced stage of pancreatic cancer; his doctor’s prognosis was 4 to 6 months of life. When he began to tell me a little about his life, before the session, he told me about his five children, his ex-wife, his current loneliness since all his children had their own families now and three of them had left the city.
We started with one healing session a week and incredibly a lot of emotions, images, and memories appeared, speaking very little or at all about his illness, except when the routine check-ups with the doctors were awakening him to the harsh reality of the accelerated progress of his illness, and me to the impotence of not knowing what else to do.
In those days my Reiki Master with whom I keep in touch despite the passing years, sharing knowledge and giving each other support, told me not to despair and allow the best to happen, to involve my heart and not my head in the process.
Diego was telling me about his family issues, especially the pain of seeing his children divided from one another due to different topics and situations. Sometimes I believed he was doing it to avoid what was happening to him but it wasn’t the case. Seeing his family divided was hurting him more than knowing he had cancer.
Time was passing by, his physical deterioration was noticeable and one day he came emotionally broken to the session showing the last study that had been made regarding his illness; however, the first thing he told me was, “I have to give you a good news. This Sunday all my children are coming for a barbecue and celebrate Father’s Day together!” He was happy and beaming Peace.
The following week Diego arrived on time as usual and told me in detail their family reunion, then he told me that was our last session he could attend since it became very difficult for him to move and the pain relief medication was affecting him a lot. However, he said, “There’s something I feel I should tell you. I came to Reiki because they “sent me”; I didn’t know what it was and I had no hope of being healed because the doctor was very decisive regarding my condition, but with each session new ideas emerged for me to implement them – things to say to my children, my friends to whom I owed some apologies, people I hadn’t visited in years and felt I should say “hello” to them – with each one of those things I was feeling lighter, freer. That’s why I think I’m ready for what’s next and I wanted to thank you for being here to accompany me! I couldn’t have done it alone!”
At that precise moment, the words of my Master came to my mind – “to accompany”.
I still gave Diego healing sessions in his house a couple of times more, practically asleep due to his medication, surrounded by his children. The last day I saw him, one of his children told me that he had become closer to his father in the last months more than he was in his entire life. That day Diego took my hand very strongly, which supposedly was an involuntary reflex but I want to believe it was a goodbye greeting. Two days later Diego left this plane of existence.
As therapists, my humble opinion is that we must learn to accept that we are the instrument but it doesn’t depend on us the “healing” or on the person who consults us. If we give the best of ourselves, whatever happens, will be for the greatest good of all.
When we do not know what else to do to help someone, we should only do what we know – set the intention, ask for assistance from our guides and those of our client and let it happen.
(The names and situations have been altered to safeguard the identity of the client and his family)
