![]() ![]() The Awesome Face gained popularity through popular forums and image boards, most notably on the SomethingAwful forums and 4chan's image boards. But that’s the price of Internet fame! Spread Though just for clarity sake my excuse for being on a Pokemon site in the first place was that I was young and stupid. It still weirds me out when I see webcomics use it though I’ve grown used to it now, sometimes I even tell nerdy neckbeard types that my dirty secret is psst I drew THAT smiley, which makes them say “ MOAR!” or whatever is cool on 4Chan this week. I never expected it to become such a widespread meme, and I can’t say I even understand why its popular or why people want to make bag pins of it (Sure wish I could get some commission for the design though haha). Most of SA assumed it was a ‘BYOB thing’ which was probably good because they’d probably want to lynch me if they actually knew where it was from. I also posted in BYOB in a thread Whalley made saying that I had made the icon originally, trying to get him to divulge where he had gotten it from. It got to the point where I couldn’t read SA because everytime I saw it I’d just be completely freaked out, and naturally I came to hate it! I hoped every day that it would become bannable to post it, but the next best thing was replacing the VBCode. At that point I thought its posting would be a one time thing, but then I saw it more and more. I’m also a member at Something Awful and the first time I saw it posted I did a double take… I even remember my mind racing as to why and HOW someone had picked up a crappy lil’ icon off a tiny website, and I’m still not sure to this day… I assume a Pokemopolis member posted it on 4Chan. ![]()

The students who actually “took the fall” must have had at least a little trust to start the process. How much did you have to trust the person catching you if you were doing the trust fall? (Allow both those who participated in the trust fall and those who watched to answer.Them connect the activity with the Bible study by asking: Again, make sure to act as a spotter with each pair.Īfter the students have completed their trust fall, gather them as a group and help If other students indicate an interest in trying the trust fall, you could give a few others an opportunity as your time allows. The last minute or take some other action to catch themselves. You will find that many students will start the process but may bend their knees at If the first student is reluctant to fall, you could offer to catch him in place of the second student doing so. Note: Make sure that you serve as a spotter by standing slightly behind the two students, and hold out your arms behind the student catching the falling person. Then explain to the front person that he or she is to stand stiffly and start to fall backward into the arms of the person behind him or her. (The student will likely say yes, especially if the two students know each other.) Explain to the student in front that he or she needs to trust, or have faith in, the person behind.īefore explaining what the students are going to do, ask the student in front if he or she trusts the person behind them. Have one student stand two feet behind the other. To help your students begin thinking about what it means to trust and to connect to the Bible study, lead them in the following trust fall activity.Īsk for two volunteers. This week’s Bible study from Matthew 14:22-33 examines the account of Peter walking on the water to Jesus and how his initial faith faltered. To help students start thinking about trust, they will do an activity and discuss trusting others. Separate the “Brain Strain” puzzles and spread them out on a table. Let them vote for the person they think is the strongest. Write the questions “What makes a person strong?” and “Who is strong?” on the board and let students respond. Let your students share their opinions about people they think are strong. Early Bird Options Activity 1: Who Is Strong? Many times he failed, but Peter came out of each failure with more faith and strength. But when Peter looked down and noticed the wind buffeting the waves, he again became scared and started to sink. God interrupted the laws of physics by allowing Peter to walk, by faith, on the water’s surface. Jesus quickly identified Himself and told them to not be afraid. The disciples’ fear made them vulnerable to superstition, and they thought the figure walking toward them was a ghost (Matt. The parallel account in John’s Gospel indicates that the disciples were three to four miles off shore. The Romans divided the 12 night hours into four watches with the fourth watch being from 3:00 to 6:00 a.m. 14:24), it was early morning, the fourth watch (Matt. After several hours of being “buffeted by the waves” (Matt. The disciples sailed during one of these storms. One such storm is central to today’s lesson. As it rises, the cool air rushes down the hills and across the water with great force, causing extremely dangerous storms. The air over this body of water, heated by the sun, rises. The surface of the Sea of Galilee is 680 feet below sea level, surrounded by steep cliffs and hills.

It is becoming very common for California insurance carriers to drop home policies when a property is located within ½ mile to fire hazard/brush areas. The overwhelming damage caused by California wild fires has caused many insurance companies to reassess which homes and geographic areas they will continue to insure. The cost to rebuild the structure may be higher/lower than what someone would pay for your home at that time. Your home should not be insured based on its current market value (what your house could sell for today). Your current insurance policy may not reflect today’s construction costs.

The Sega Toys Homestar Flux has fantastic quality. The matte-colored planetarium is high-quality, high mass, and stable. It comes in a white box decorated with silver prints and an additional black cover for added protection. Meanwhile, the Homestar Flux already exudes sophistication with its packaging. It comes with a 3-watt LED light and a protective flap for the lens. The Homestar Original has a good quality finish with materials that make the device sturdy. When it comes to quality, there may be a slight difference between the two. It’s also lighter than the Homestar Original. But between the two, the Homestar Flux has a much better projection, giving you a much clearer, sharper, and more realistic images of the dark skies. It also has two discs, but each disc contains more than 60,000 stars.įrom the looks of it, both home planetariums have the same functions. Since it has a more extensive and sharper projection, it only has a minimal focus adjustment, which is adjusted through the focus wheel. ![]() The Flux is a much better planetarium in terms of this functionality. With two discs, each having 60,000 stars, its projection only covers about 8.2 to 9.8 feet in diameter, but it doesn’t label the star images. The frame best adjusts the focus on the Homestar Original, and it should be within a distance of 4.9 to 7.5 feet from the wall to the ceiling. The focus adjustment is an essential feature in a home planetarium. The Flux, on the other hand, produces minimal noises in addition to having illuminated buttons that are visible in the dark. However, the Original unit doesn’t indicate to what direction it rotates, and it makes noises as it moves. There is also a rotation function that rotates the device to the north or south. It is activated when a shooting star appears. It means that you can watch the starry night skies while lying in bed as fall asleep.Ī shooting star function is present on both home planetariums, but the Flux is slightly updated and looks more realistic. It’s also the same timer that you can see on the Homestar Flux. For one, the Homestar Original has a timer that automatically switches off the device after 15, 30, or 60 minutes. Without a doubt, both units have outstanding features as a home planetarium. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() If a mobile device is being used, the app has special keys for control, alt and option, allowing keyboard shortcuts to be done as if the computer was being used.

Why am I getting notifications in Messenger about stories? You can set up a custom audience for people who can view your stories, and then manage who you add and remove from the list. Additionally, Messenger also allows you to control who can see your stories by creating a Custom Audience. Telegram even lets you delete every message you've sent to another person on both your phone and theirs, so no evidence remains anywhere.You can also disable stories from showing up in the main Messenger feed, by turning off the “Show Stories in Home Feed” toggle.
