Who would have thought that Gene Simmons could speak Hungarian so well? Who else knows what else lies behind the Grease paint?

All Quiet on the Blogging front

There has not been a post for ages - Sorry!

This week there will be lots of updates as we are going to get one of our piggies butchered.

We'll have lots of meat as the pig is about 200kg!!! I'll post updates/photos/etc

Right off now to bake some fresh bagels to be served with fresh butter and fried eggs :)

Wonderwoman II

And if by magic, the internet comes up with this!

WonderWoman

I've been watching loads of justice league unlimited(JLU) and thoroughly enjoying it! For those of you(s) who aren't geeks  DC comics have rebooted their universe (started from a Blank canvas again) and one of the comic review caught my eye. It basically said Wonder woman is one of the most important characters of the DC universe (Batman and superman making up the holy trinity) but there are no decent stories/comics with the classic tale which involves wonder woman. This kinda of idea creeps throught out the whole of the DC universe and eventually leads to the bigger question "what do we do with Wonder woman?" Do we make her into a female superman who is strong and tough but not superman, so he can save her; do we make her a man-hater a strong feminist or do we make her into the token eye candy(when was the last time you saw a flat-chested, non-curvy plain wonder woman)

Now you might think I am crazy to dedicate a blog episode to this but as I was thinking about these Issues, I realised that maybe these issues aren't super hero related but for all of womankind. Take for example sport, Woman athletics have to be glamourous for them to be taken serious Sepp Blatter thinks that woman's footballers should be more "femamin"(http://tinyurl.com/6z3mmxk). Beach Volley - Everyone watches because they love volleyball! If they did, indoor volleyball would be so much more popular and taken off.

This questing of the role of women in churches is another example - Every good pastor needs a trophy wife, but as long as they are not causing problem/headlines it is ok! Heck, we can even give a job which isn't that important! The The idea of a woman leading in a new direction is dangerous and what would happen if she had a new story ....

So would the real wonderwoman step forward and show us all the way?

Thoughts about the current world

You bring up war, poverty or famine in a conversation you'll find a barren vacuum of opinion.You announce what kind of phone you have and you 'll spend the next hour enduring an obnoxious holy war

After Love wins

What happens after "love wins"? After the hype/reviews/discussions? When we've sat in judgement? If the Marshill grows after this episode, the sceptic can claim it is based on heresy and thus a cult. If it reduces in size, they can claim God's judgement is in action. If Rob Bell repents (if he needs to?) what will happen? Can we now cross Rob Bell of the list of "Evangelical Messiahs" as he might have done something questionable and now start the look for the next John Wimber/Billy Graham/ ?

What happens if the book is immaterial (Not finished reading it) but it is a catalyst for bringing to the surface the worldwide churches true agenda? Reading the New Testament highlights that the hallowed early churches were full of lots of problems much heavier then this?

It seems a Zugzwang - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zugzwang and Does Love Win?

Marmalade

I've created the first batch of marmalade from 5kg of oranges and 5kg sugar. It took about 6 hours to boil to the right consistency :)

Anyway, we've another 10 kgs of oranges to use so we will be doing some small ( <2kgs)>
