I returned from Port au Prince last evening around 7 pm after spending a little over 24 hours there. I travelled with Pastor Caleb Lucien and Dr. Batsch to find the families of Dr. Batsch and several other doctors that work in Pignon but live in Port au Prince. We also planned to assess how we could help so that we could coordinate our assistance in Pignon. I must say that the leadership and compassion of Pastor Caleb and Dr. Batsch was a tremendous blessing to me and the people of Haiti. We carried some medical supplies, water, and tents and were able to help several neighborhoods with the few supplies we had. Thankfully and by the grace of God we found Dr. Batsch's wife and seven year old son and the other doctors that we travelled with were able to find their families alive although some were injured. </span></span></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;"><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-size:12pt;"> </span></span></p><div style="margin: 0px;"> <span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-size:12pt;">I saw first hand the destruction and loss of life and it is incredible. I cannot fully describe the scene and I am still trying to process it all myself. I wept this morning as we continued our 40 days of prayer. It is simply very hard to experience. Imagine over 3 million people displaced, hundreds of thousands of dead bodies, no power, no water, no shelter, no fuel, no food All of this is unimaginable in a developed country let alone a country like Haiti. From what I saw the city is for all practical purposes destroyed. I was able to see all of the government buildings, finance, justice, health, mayors office, palace, all destroyed. Four large hospitals destroyed, and all hospitals damaged. Nearly all the major businesses were destroyed or severly damaged and commerce has stopped. I saw two working gas stations but each had run out of fuel by the time we left. I saw dead bodies everywhere, lining streets, lying in rubble, piled on street corners and being slowly carried away by men with carts. I saw people erupting in joy at the news their loved ones survived and I saw families erupting with grief as they learned of the loss of their family, the scene repeated itself thousands of times all over the city. I saw thousands upon thousands of people sitting and lying in the streets unable or too scared to enter the shelter of the buildings left standing. I slept outside with many people and listened to the sweet sound of relief planes arriving and carrying hope more than anything else. I listened as thousands of people cried out to God and even praised him. I felt ashamed at my lack of faith as they sang "tout bagay déjà byen" "all things are already good". Unbelievable. I counted people as we stood and waited along the road out of Port au Prince. The average was 81 people per minute heading north, with that average over 14,000 people passed by me on there way out, many unsure where they will go. I'm sure you have all seen pictures and heard the news stories but the reality is astonishing and will worsen in these first days of this tragedy. </span></span></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;"><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-size:12pt;"> </span></span></p><div style="margin: 0px;"> <span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-size:12pt;">I returned to Pignon with Dr. Batsch and his family and 9 others whose homes were destroyed. We had the business of seeing the Fargo, North Dakota team off, graciously arranged by Pastor Caleb and we will be planning how we can provide for victims in the next few days. They announced on the radio today that patients can be taken to the our hospital here in Pignon so we will see what happens. The patient load here is heavier than normal and I suspect will continue to increase. We will begin planning how we can accommodate any refugees that come to Pignon. We have talked briefly about areas we can use to set up tents and will plan further as we know more. </span></span></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;"><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-size:12pt;"> </span></span></p><div style="margin: 0px;"> <span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-size:12pt;">The needs are enormous. I wondered this morning how you take nothing from nothing. Someone said yesterday "if Port au Prince is broken, Haiti is broken" and that is correct. This tragedy has deeply affected all of Haiti. The availability of all supplies here is decreasing or gone and the means to get supplies here is crippled. Diesel fuel is nearly gone and the price has nearly doubled. Diesel is $5 a gallon and a gallon of gasoline is now $12.50 in many places. I know the town of Hinche is out but this morning when I went to find fuel I was fortunate to get some of the last diesel in Pignon. Dr. Guy said that he had tried to buy as much diesel as possible in Cap Haitian, I don't know at this time if we have found that fuel. Without diesel fuel we have no electricity, no transportation and no water at the hospital. Most of the rice, flour, sugar here in Pignon is gone or disappearing fast. Many vendors hoped they would have more tomorrow from Cap Haitian so we will see. We could find a little rice, and could only buy sugar in small quantities and could not find flour. We purchased enough supplies this morning to last about a month. Food, water, medical supplies and fuel will be the main concern all over Haiti. Dr. Batsch is preparing a list of medical supplies we will need here at the hospital and will email that soon to our supporters. If we have connections to money and supplies now is the time to use them. </span></span></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=";font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:130%;" ><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:16px;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;"> <span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-size:12pt;"> </span></span></p><div style="margin: 0px;"><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-size:12pt;">We are working on improving our communication by getting some Voila phones. Digicel service isn't working but Voila is intermittently so we hope to get some cell phones up and running. We are still trying to figure out how we will get Stacey's parents home next week. </span></span></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;"><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-size:12pt;"> </span></span></p><div style="margin: 0px;"> <span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-size:12pt;">Thanks to all of you who have sent or left supplies with us we will be able to use much of the clothes and medicine and other items that have been left with us. Thanks to everyone who has shown so much concern for us and the people of Haiti. I'm sure we have forgotten some things and we'll try and keep updates coming. Please forward this on and we'll try to post it on the blog as well. Keep Praying and God Bless. </span></span></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;"><span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-size:12pt;"> </span></span></p></span>--<br />Lorrie Beauchamp Berg<br />Promise for Haiti Volunteer Coordinator<br />2724 38 ave S<br />Fargo ND 58104<br />701-364-9478<br /><br />I do not ask God to answer my prayers, I ask that He gives me the Strength, Courage and Grace to deal with whatever challenge he places before me.<br /></div></div></div> </blockquote></div><br /></div></div></blockquote>Cold Chillihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00299216984909395706noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6937851.post-8719889699732260402009-09-13T15:45:00.000-05:002009-09-13T15:53:27.020-05:00Chicago 3/4 wayI went to a fast food place this weekend.

But that doesn't mean I like to listen to long casts. With podcasts longer than ~40 minutes. I like to get some of my life back. I do this by speeding up them up.<br />I used the Juice pod-catcher and converted the file using WMP9 Encoder, detailed in this <a href="http://coldchilli.blogspot.com/2007/07/speed-up-your-podcasts.html">post</a><br /><br />Now that I use an iPhone I've stopped using Juice infavor of iTunes<br />iTunes/iPhone/iPods can play the audiobook/podcast "faster". Approx 1.8x speed.<br />It does adjust the pitch so people don't sound like chipmonks.<br /><br />How to do this:<br />1. Convert the mp3 to AAC.<br />2. Right click on the file and select "Show in Windows Explorer"<br />3. When the conversion completes rename the extension m4a to m4b (Audiobook) and delete the mp3 file<br />4.

You have everything done for you and it all looks very slick, but you pay a high price. You have a doorman to pamper you and somebody else takes care of the maintenance, but you can't make a lot of changes to the property.<br /><br />Using Windows is like living in the suburbs. You get more square footage for your dollar but you have to mow your own lawn and when something goes wrong, you have to fix it yourself or pay someone extra to do it. You can make changes to your property but you might have to deal with deed restrictions or city ordinances or homeowner association rules.<br /><br />Using Linux is like living out in the country. Compared to the other options, property is dirt cheap and you can do whatever you want to it without having to follow codes and get inspections. But you'll probably have to do a lot more of the work yourself and you need a lot of building expertise or else you may get yourself into big trouble and find your house falling down all around you because you didn't do it correctly.<br /><br />from <a href="http://www.vistanews.com/?id=32">VistaNews</a><br /></span></span>Cold Chillihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00299216984909395706noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6937851.post-24704903278767327272008-04-11T08:50:00.001-05:002008-04-11T08:50:24.014-05:00Good Morining Zoey<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bcbeatty/2404836791/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2165/2404836791_f8e3c334a0_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bcbeatty/2404836791/">Good Morining Zoey</a> <br />Originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/bcbeatty/">bcbeatty</a>.</span><br clear="all" /><p></p>Cold Chillihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00299216984909395706noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6937851.post-138237711049508892008-03-24T16:40:00.001-05:002008-03-24T16:40:28.654-05:00BSG Top 10 List<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><p><object height='350' width='425'><param value='http://youtube.com/v/YatjlSJNRHM' name='movie'/><embed height='350' width='425' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' src='http://youtube.com/v/YatjlSJNRHM'/></object></p><p>Season 4 Starts Soon!</p></div>Cold Chillihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00299216984909395706noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6937851.post-56570824557421275242008-03-20T16:04:00.003-05:002008-03-20T16:07:38.004-05:00Bush's Tax rebate<span style="font-family:Arial;">(Don't send this to the Gov of NY....He was ahead of this e-mail....)<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> How to use the rebate</span><br />As you may have heard the Bush Administration said each and every one of us would now get a nice rebate.<br />If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China.<br />If we spend it on gasoline it will all go to the Arabs, <br />If we purchase a computer it will all go to India,<br />If we purchase fruit and vegetables it will all go to Mexico, Honduras, and Guatamala,<br />If we purchase a good car it will all go to Japan,<br />If we purchase useless crap it will all go to Taiwan<br /><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">and none of it will help the American economy.</span><br /><br />We need to keep that money here in America, so the only way to keep that money here at home is to buy prostitutes and beer, since those are the only businesses still in the US.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Client #10</span>Cold Chillihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00299216984909395706noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6937851.post-67339126333991196582008-02-28T16:13:00.001-06:002008-02-28T16:15:50.018-06:00Three Things to Ponder<div> <p style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><b><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;color:black;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: black; font-weight: bold;">Three Things to Ponder: They've been around before, but maybe we need to go through them again. </span></span></b><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;color:black;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: black;"></span></span></p> </div> <div> <p style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></span></p> <p style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;color:black;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana; color: black;">1.

After a few seconds it became apparent that she was in real distress, and two locals, Kenzie and Brian sitting at the next table turned to look at her. <br />" <span style="font-style: italic;">Kin ya swaller?</span>" asked Kenzie <br />The woman signaled '<span style="font-weight: bold;">No!</span>', desperately shaking her head. <br />"<span style="font-style: italic;">Kin ya breathe?</span>" asked Brian. <br />The woman shook her head <span style="font-weight: bold;">No!!!</span> <br />With that, Kenzie walked behind her, lifted up the back of her dress, yanked down her knickers and ran his tongue up and down the crack of her arse. <br />This shocked the woman into such a violent spasm that the obstruction flew out of her mouth and she began to breathe again. <br /><br />Kenzie swaggered back to his table and took a deep swig of his beer. <br />Brian said in admiration "<span style="font-style: italic;">Ya know Kenzie, I'd heard of that bloody Hind Lick Manoeuvre, but that's the first time I ever Seen somebody do it</span>!"Cold Chillihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00299216984909395706noreply@blogger.com1
