Okay, I know this is Martha Stewart-ish. But, I can’t be the only one wondering how to use up those little slivers. Well, there’s a vid about it, so obviously not. Yay, YouTube!

One tip I’ll mention in addition to this vid is something I read online: to grate the soap beforehand. I believe it ensures a smoother end product.

and what about you?
you’ve stopped venturing outside.
so how could you know
the loneliness of stones or
comprehend the hope of streams?

having loved these less
than your quietness and grief,
do you remember
seasons still? the feel of moss?
come out. find me in the woods.

Life moves up and down and all around; and yet we must continue on. We must see beyond it all to see that God has His hand in it all. We may not understand but He is there guiding us and helping us. If we just choose to listen. And this may be being still, it may be reading His word, it may be in a song. He is there. So as my life twists and turns, hurts and burns, I see my Christ and He is there and it is I that pushes him away. He loves me where I am but does not want to leave me that way. He wants to heal the shattered pieces of my heart and make me as whole as He can again….

and so I begin……

Ithaca College senior Jon “Cosmo” Kagan releases the first single off his highly anticipated EP “Pieces” due out by the end of November. I recently interviewed Cosmo for a feature in The Ithacan and he’s a really cool guy. This song is amazing, very professional. The lyrics are understandable and, more importantly, have a clear-cut meaning. Click the link below to discover Cosmo and experience hip-hop resurrected.

If, during the game, it is found out that an illegal move has been made, then the position shall be reconstructed as it was immediately before the illegal move was played. The game shall then continue in accordance with the rules. If during a game, one or more pieces have been accidentally displaced and are not correctly replaced, the position shall be set up as it was immediately before the mistake and the game continued. If it proves impossible to set up the position again, the game shall be annulled and the fresh game started. If, after on adjustment to set up the position is incorrectly put up, then the position as it was on adjustment shall be set up again and the game continued.

If, during the game, it is found the initial position of the pieces was incorrect, then the game shall be annulled and a fresh game played. (F.I.D.E. Interpretation— this has been extended to apply to the case where the players have started with the wrong colors). If, during a game it is found that the position of the chessboard is incorrect, then the position reached shall be transformed to the chessboard correctly placed and the game continued.

When the king of the player whose turn it is to move is not in check, and the player make a legal move, situation is called ‘’stalemate’’. On the demand by one of the players when the same position appears three times, the same player having move each time. the position is considered the same if pieces of the same kind and color occupy the same squares, and the possible moves of all pieces are changed. The right of claming the draw belongs only to the player:

(a)    who is in a position to play a move leading to such repetition of the position, if he indicates this move and claims the draw before making it; or

(b)   who is due to reply to a move by which such repeated position has been produced, provided he does not move before claming.

1)      During the play, each player is required to record the game (moves of his own and his opponent’s), move by move, as clearly and legibly as possible on the score sheet provided for the contest.

2)      If , acutely pressed for time, a player is clearly unable to comply with the section 1 above, he shall nevertheless do his best to indicate on his scores sheet the number of moves made. As soon as his time trouble is over he shall immediately complete his record of the game by writing down the omitted moves.

Diving equipment is required to enjoy the mystical beauty of the underwater world. The tool is suitable not only for maintaining a safe diver, but also allow a plunger to get the best experience possible, diving and can not prevent anyone from being comfortable and at ease during the adventure in diving.

Everyone amateurs to experienced divers use pieces of diving equipment base. These are the basic pieces necessary for a fun and safe diving. Many experts agree that there are five elements, all diversneed to buy if they are serious about diving, even if they are just beginning their certification. Although these can be rented, it is often unsafe and inconvenient to do so.

The first of these five elements is the diving mask. And "without a doubt the most important piece of gear. A form allows the diver to see clearly underwater. Also increases the scope of a diver's vision of creating a large area of space that is clear and simple.

When you try a mask afterelements must be taken into consideration. First consider if the lenses are necessary. Prescription lenses allow a diver who wears glasses or contacts to see well underwater. Other factors should be taken into account are the level of comfort in the estate, the nose pocket and strap. In addition, a mask of good will, the need for fasteners with high quality and durable.

The second piece of diving equipment that a diver must seriously consider the purchase is for the feet, aa good pair of boots. Boots socks are like water to protect a person's feet from rocks, fish and cutting surfaces in water. Boots are like boots for water and have a zipper on the side of the shoe. They can also protect the feet of a diver to the plate.

The third part, each compartment is really should be the owner of two elements: the fins. Fins should be measured for a walk underwater special, so they can be customized for use.

Finally, diversshould consider purchasing their own weight and submarine tubes. Not only are these pieces of diving equipment to use every dive, but are items that require customization of people.

Once a diver has five basic pieces of diving equipment, it will correct the ongoing support and maintenance. For some pieces of gear appropriate care means rinsing with warm water after each use, but also for other health care facilities may mean washing with a mild detergent andhot water. Proper maintenance of equipment will ensure that the diving equipment will be long lasting and durable.

The rest of the tools you need for diving can be rented from dive clubs and specialty stores that are located near water. But not all divers hired other equipment that are necessary for a dip. Some divers have chosen to buy all the pieces of diving equipment that is necessary for the adventure of diving.

Hi everyone!

So to kind of go with yesterday’s interior design theme, I decided to show you a few pieces of furniture that could definitely spice up a boring room!

I hope you enjoyed! I actually have a project of painting a bookshelf black, light teal, and dark metallic teal. It’s unfinished, but I’ll post pictures when I’m done. Until then, I have to go start studying. I have a test in…6 hours and I haven’t started revewing yet. Wish me good luck!

Before ending the game, the Queen is worth two Rooks, but in the end game, the two Rooks are nearly always worth a Pawn more, unless the Rooks’ king is exposed to checks. Another approximate equivalent of a Queen is three minor pieces e.g two knights and a bishop are almost always at least equal to Queen, and two Bishops and a knight are usually superior. Rook plus bishop (or knight) plus two pawns are always almost superior to a Queen. Exception to these valuations occur where the king of the army opposing the Queen is very exposed, so the Queen can recognize many checks, giving itself virtually several successive moves while the opponent is powerless to make useful replies.

Since the fate of the game hangs on the king, it cannot be given a numerical value. However, so many pieces have exchanged that mate is no longer a serious danger, it may and indeed must be used as a fighting piece, as such it rates well below a Rook but above a bishop or knight, when almost the fighting pieces have been exchanged, including the Queens and atleast one pair of the Rooks, your king ceases to need shelter of pawns in a corner. Use him as a marauder right in the enemy lines, having your king uncastled and therefore near the centre is usually an asset when Rooks, Queen and one pair of the minor pieces have been exchanged off.

1) The chessboard is made up of 64 equal squares in color alternatively light and dark
(‘’white’’ and ‘’black’’ squares respectively)

2) The chessboard is placed between the players in such a way that the square in the corner to the right of each player is white

3) The eight row of squares running form one player to the other are called ‘’files’’.

4) The eight rows of squares running at the right angles to the files are called ‘’ranks’’

5) The rows of squares of the same color touching at the corners are called ‘’diagonals’’

1)      With the exception of castling a move is transfer to a piece from the square to another which is either unoccupied by an opponent’s piece.

2)       No piece, except the Rook when castling or the knight, can cross a square occupied by another piece.

3)      When the piece is played to a square occupied by an opponent’s piece, the opponent’s piece is said to have been ‘’captured’’ and it is immediately removed form the chessboard by the player who has made the capture.

Provided that he first warns his opponent the player whose turn it is to move may adjust one or more pieces on the square. Apart from the above case, if the player whose turn it is to move touched one or more pieces he must make his move by moving the piece first touched which can be moved or taken. The touching of a piece or pieces entails no obligation of a breach of this rule is not pointed out by the opponent before he touches a piece, or if none of the moves indicated above can be carried out in accordance with the rules.

I’m speaking at a retreat for some high school girls this weekend and was asked to share some of my life story… to show how God is uniquely using me to bring Himself glory…
I wanted to post a modified version of what I’m going to share.

—————————————————————————————

It feels kind of silly, but as I reflect on my own life I really feel as though I have little to share.

Imagine that you’re putting a puzzle together… you know how you dump all of the pieces out on the table and many of them are flipped upside down, and backwards, and none of it seems to make sense? So far it’s just a big mess of pieces. I guess sometimes I feel like my life is one giant puzzle that I’m looking at… the only difference being that I don’t have the box with the big picture on it. So right now, I’m standing at this place in life, on one piece of this gigantic puzzle that doesn’t make any sense and I can’t figure out what other pieces it connects to… If I look to my right I can see where other pieces have started fitting together, which is helping the picture to become a little clearer, but to my left, is still a large messy pile of pieces and I don’t know where they belong.

Let me share with you some of the pieces of my puzzle that I have already seen pieced together in my life. I suppose I should start with the basics and tell you that I grew up in a loving family that pushed me to love Jesus and enabled me to grow in a relationship with God and His Son. I learned to thrive at church and summer camps, and found many of my best friends at church. Of course, it helps that I have a very outgoing, attention-driven personality, especially in junior high, and I would often find myself wanting to be immersed in various ministries at church. Over time, I was slowly being molded and finding in myself that my heart was being pulled to ministry. With that said, even up until my senior year of high school, I really didn’t know what it was I wanted to do in life. When I was really little, I wanted to be a veterinarian… mostly because I loved animals. I think really I just always wanted something to take care of. Then later, I thought it would be great to be a teacher. I think I wanted to be able to help people learn things. Although, looking back, I genuinely think that I really just wanted to be able to hold a red pen and circle lots of mistakes on other peoples’ papers. And then I realized that becoming a teacher would mean going to more school (college) just to be in school for the rest of my life… no way! During my senior year of high school, through an opportunity I had to take a class for our morning announcements, it became more concrete to me that I almost enjoyed speaking in front of people, as well as playing with electronics and editing video and being on a computer all the time. I learned that I love seeing results and get excited when I am able to create something that is visually pleasing. And, as I’ve said before, I absolutely loved being at church. I took several opportunities to step into leadership roles for small groups along with leading mission trips, and all of this started to confirm in me that I was meant to be a part of ministry… to help create disciples for Christ, and I really wanted to be a role model for younger girls.

So… all in all…
When it came time to choose a college, I started to realize that I wanted one that had a strong communications program (because I thought it would be a great career to be in broadcasting or video editing), but I also wanted it to have the possibility to get even more involved in ministry programs (specifically youth ministry). And in my mind, the two of these weren’t that far off from each other, because I saw great value in improving my communication skills and technological skills for the purpose of ministry.

I think I made that all sound like a picnic in a park, but there really have been some seriously challenging pieces of my life puzzle. When I went to college in the fall after my senior year of high school, I felt like I was on top of the world. I was finally leaving my family and stepping out on this journey of independence, I had lots of friends and several of my closest girlfriends since childhood were going to the same college as me, and I had a boyfriend that told me we would eventually be getting married… after college, of course. (Shoot, what was four years, right?) I may have felt like I had everything together in life, but in the next few years, God was going to start tearing down different walls in my life in order to get me to walk a path closer to His heart. Like I said earlier, sometimes we’re standing on one piece of the puzzle and just can’t see any logical place for it to fit with the big picture.

During my freshman year of college, my boyfriend eventually decided that he didn’t like me and that our relationship wasn’t going to go any further. I don’t mean for this to turn into a sappy story, by any means, but this jolted my entire understanding of who I was and where I was going in life. I may not have said this to many people, but in my mind, I just had to make it through college, and then after that I was getting married to this boy, and that was all that was going to matter. So when this was ripped away from me, I was brought to my knees in utter confusion. I think parts of me wanted to be angry at God… I was confused about who I was or where I was going in life. I didn’t understand my purpose anymore. This was also a time in life where I started to find out about a lot of deep painful issues that were going on in my family… that had been going on for a long time… that almost everyone in my family knew about except for me. I can’t give you more details than that… not just because I don’t want to talk about it, but really because even now I don’t fully know or understand the details of those issues… I just know that I felt like I no longer had anyone around me that I knew anymore.

Everything and everyone closest to me in my life felt like a lie.

Even back at college, I had similar situations where friends just stopped inviting me to join their group activities, and I had to struggle through understanding why I wasn’t enough, or was too much, or what was really going on. As much as I have always loved being around people, these different roadblocks on my path in life were bringing me to a point where I was really questioning who I was… or who I was supposed to be… or who I even wanted to be. And just because I went to a “Christian” college, doesn’t mean that I always wanted to be there. My “Christian life” stopped being a desire of who I wanted to be, and slipped into a daily “routine” of who I was supposed to be. I got to a point where I was no longer excited about going to church, too exhausted to find a ministry, worn out from classes and uninterested in opening my Bible. This went on long enough that without realizing it, I ended up failing all of my classes my first semester of my senior year of college. I just stopped caring for a while. Because of this, I needed to go back to college for one final semester after my senior year, and it was during this time in my life that I experienced the tragic loss of one of my best friends in a car accident. This was another time of deep pain in my life… not out of anger at God… rather, just a sadness in knowing that this beautiful person was no longer in my life. I’m looking forward to spending eternity in Heaven with her though, and hope that she knows what kind of influence she has had on my life. God used this time in my life to kick my heart back into gear and remind me how precious my life really is… to remind me that other people are watching how I approach life even when I don’t know it. You see, my friend Janet taught me what it looked like to love other people with the same unconditional, patient love that Christ did. When she talked about Jesus you could see in her eyes that she knew Him… and that she continually desired to know Him more.

I’m thankful that I’ve always had friends placed strategically in my life to not only lift me up out of those dark places of hurt and confusion, but to also remind me who was ultimately in control… that God was greater than myself and even though this piece of my puzzle didn’t make any sense in the moment, God was the one holding the big picture and He knew right where it was going to fit in with the rest of my pieces. You see… the key to the puzzle is not in knowing what the big picture is, or where your current piece is going to fit with the rest of the puzzle… the key is in knowing who is in control of the pieces.

God is continually working on my life and if I’m to be completely honest, I still don’t know what exactly I’m supposed to do in life, or what I’m supposed to be “when I grow up.”  But I do know that I don’t want to be the one trying to fit the pieces together in my life puzzle, because that gets so draining.  I want to let God be in control so that my picture can come together with as much of His beauty as possible.

YOU!!! Baby!!!! Hahahaha!!! And so the consequences of the resignation have started. Sorry for being gone for more than a month! I have been adjusting to the new lifestyle and the lack of some things. Hehe.

And since I cannot shop until December comes… Let me frustrate you as well. I drool over the things I stumble upon the internet.

Websites are evil temptations! Haha!
