Would You Go To A Restaurant That Had A "B" In The Window?
Usually I don't, but I just came back from my favorite Chinese take-out spot in Watts (Los Angeles), and they had a "B". Back in the day, I used to work in a service deli at a grocery store, so I do know that the health dept. can down grade establishments for minor things, resulting in a "B". Conversely, I've been to many places that were nasty, but still had an "A". I obviously do not know why they have a "B", but I ordered since I drove a few miles and I was familiar with the spot. In the back of my mind, I feel a decent restuarant is working their way back to obtaining that "A"...which also influenced my decision to eat their food. What do would you do in this situation? Odie, I would never eat some where that has a "C". Give Blood, I'm in California and Lex Diamonds is in New York. So this grading system is not "only" in my state, probably only in the most advance states. Faith, there are a lot of things like mold, and rats droppings that the average customer is unaware of. Those grades are beneficial. *And yes, it's a hole in the wall...strictly take-out. Thanks Lex, yes it has to be very visible in California. Like a "Open" sign, lol!

DOES ANY OF YOU PEOPLE OUT THERE BELIEVE WE ARE IN THE END TIMES?
Saturday, March 7, 2009 AN URGENT MESSAGE I am compelled by the Holy Spirit to send out an urgent message to all on our mailing list, and to friends and to bishops we have met all over the world. AN EARTH-SHATTERING CALAMITY IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. IT IS GOING TO BE SO FRIGHTENING, WE ARE ALL GOING TO TREMBLE - EVEN THE GODLIEST AMONG US. For ten years I have been warning about a thousand fires coming to New York City . It will engulf the whole megaplex, including areas of New Jersey and Connecticut . Major cities all across America will experience riots and blazing fires?such as we saw in Watts, Los Angeles , years ago. There will be riots and fires in cities worldwide. There will be looting?including Times Square , New York City. What we are experiencing now is not a recession, not even a depression. We are under God?s wrath. In Psalm 11 it is written, ?If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?? (v. 3). God is judging the raging sins of America and the nations. He is destroying the secular foundations. The prophet Jeremiah pleaded with wicked Israel , ?God is fashioning a calamity against you and devising a plan against you. Oh, turn back each of you from your evil way, and reform your ways and deeds. But they will say, It?s hopeless! For we are going to follow our own plans, and each of us will act according to the stubbornness of his evil heart? (Jeremiah 18:11-12). In Psalm 11:6, David warns, ?Upon the wicked he will rain snares (coals of fire)?fire?burning wind?will be the portion of their cup.? Why? David answered, ?Because the Lord is righteous? (v. 7). This is a righteous judgment?just as in the judgments of Sodom and in Noah?s generation. WHAT SHALL THE RIGHTEOUS DO? WHAT ABOUT GOD?S PEOPLE? First, I give you a practical word I received for my own direction. If possible lay in store a thirty-day supply of non-perishable food, toiletries and other essentials. In major cities, grocery stores are emptied in an hour at the sign of an impending disaster. As for our spiritual reaction, we have but two options. This is outlined in Psalm 11. We ?flee like a bird to a mountain.? Or, as David says, ?He fixed his eyes on the Lord on his throne in heaven?his eyes beholding, his eyelids testing the sons of men? (v. 4). ?In the Lord I take refuge? (v. 1). I will say to my soul: No need to run...no need to hide. This is God?s righteous work. I will behold our Lord on his throne, with his eye of tender, loving kindness watching over every step I take?trusting that he will deliver his people even through floods, fires, calamities, tests, trials of all kinds. Note: I do not know when these things will come to pass, but I know it is not far off. I have unburdened my soul to you. Do with the message as you choose. God bless and keep you, In Christ,

What is the meaning of this poem?
It is called, "Stravinsky in L.A." by Elizabeth Alexander; Stravinsky in L.A. In white pleated trousers, peering through green sunshades, looking for the way the sun is red noise, how locusts hiss to replicate the sun. What is the visual equivalent of syncopation? Rows of seared palms wrinkle in the heat waves through green glass. Sprinklers tick, tick, tick. The Watts Towers aim to split the sky into chroma, spires tiled with rubble nothing less than aspiration. I?ve left minarets for sun and syncopation, sixty-seven shades of green which I have counted, beginning: palm leaves, front and back, luncheon pickle, bottle glass, etcetera. One day I will comprehend the different grades of red. On that day I will comprehend these people, rhythms, jazz, Simon Rodia, Watts, Los Angeles, aspiration.
