| VCU MSA's Project Downtown: Richmond HDThu, 08 Jan 2009 22:28:19 -0800 by docakhProject Downtown is an initiative that began with a few students that were dissatisfied. Dissatisfied with the plight of homeless and needy individuals in cities across the nation, dissatisfied with the blind eye that society has turned toward them, and dissatisfied to their own non-contribution to the betterment of their own communities. So they turned their dissatisfaction into action.They gathered what little resources they had and made 30 sandwiches to pass out in the heart of downtown, Miami, Florida. Individuals downtown were surprised that their gift was not contingent upon reading a pamphlet or listening to a sermon. Finally, one of them asked, "why are you doing this?" The answer of the students was none other but the Qur'an's answer:"We feed you for the sake of God alone, no reward do we seek, nor thanks (76:9)."The students continued to visit their friends downtown every Friday to offer whatever modest, unconditional gifts they could offer, which has so far included well over 10,000 meals, 1500 articles of clothes, and 1400 toiletry kits. They have also helped secure three apartments for their friends, who are no longer homeless.But besides the physical support, Project Downtown volunteers are there every week to remember people that have been forgotten, to lend a empathic ear to their plight, and to offer words of emotional support. On multiple occasions, the downtown friends remarked "when other people come here they feed us like we are animals. But when you come, we feel the love. We feel that you truly care."Since the giving of that first unconditional gift, Project Downtown joined hands with MSA National in the fall of 2006 to further serve our friends across the nation. The Community Service Task Force of MSA National was formed to allow the MSA students to better serve not only themselves and their university community, but the society at large.Through their service, Project Downtown volunteers have come to realize that their primary staple of distribution is neither water nor bread, but love. Join us, and find out the secret sauce of this quiet revolution.Music by: Nick Drake's 'Man in a Shed', album 'Time of no Reply'Photography by: Bilal Aslam, Muhammad Akhtar, as well as those taken from the internet.Muslim Students' Association of Richmond, Va.

| Black Bean Veggie BurgersThu, 08 Jan 2009 21:58:48 -0800 by ghostwriter511BLACK BEANS not baked beans *sorry, kept fucking up in the vid*1 15oz can plain BLACK beans1/2 bell pepper1/2 onion1 jalepeno (optional)1 egg (optional1/2 cup bread crumbs Rinse and dry beans, then chop veggies in a food processor, then add beans, blend it up, then add egg, bread crumbs, and any salt or pepper, blend all together into a puree. I should look somehting like shit when you're done.Shape into a patty on a greased (butter, olive oil, whatever) tray, then bake at 350 degrees for about 8-10 min, flip, bake for another 8-10 min. Voila.Tip: If it comes out all soupy, don't worry, the moisture will bake out, you'll just have a harder time shaping it. Also, if the mixture is too thick in the food processor, add a little water to ease it up.Tip: The patties should not be too thick, I suggest about a half-inch.Tip: You do not have to go by these instructions exactly, if you don't have bell pepper, use extra onions, cut out the jalepeno, etc.Tip: Make this one half at a time if you have a food processor, I tried in mine to make it all at once the first time and it was a pain in the ass.

| BRT (Bible Reading Time) Day3 - Psalm 80Thu, 08 Jan 2009 21:06:51 -0800 by isweihotornotPSALM 801 Hear us, O Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock; you who sit enthroned between the cherubim, shine forth 2 before Ephraim, Benjamin and Manasseh. Awaken your might; come and save us. 3 Restore us, O God; make your face shine upon us, that we may be saved. 4 O LORD God Almighty, how long will your anger smolder against the prayers of your people? 5 You have fed them with the bread of tears; you have made them drink tears by the bowlful. 6 You have made us a source of contention to our neighbors, and our enemies mock us. 7 Restore us, O God Almighty; make your face shine upon us, that we may be saved. 8 You brought a vine out of Egypt; you drove out the nations and planted it. 9 You cleared the ground for it, and it took root and filled the land. 10 The mountains were covered with its shade, the mighty cedars with its branches. 11 It sent out its boughs to the Sea, its shoots as far as the River. 12 Why have you broken down its walls so that all who pass by pick its grapes? 13 Boars from the forest ravage it and the creatures of the field feed on it. 14 Return to us, O God Almighty! Look down from heaven and see! Watch over this vine, 15 the root your right hand has planted, the son you have raised up for yourself. 16 Your vine is cut down, it is burned with fire; at your rebuke your people perish. 17 Let your hand rest on the man at your right hand, the son of man you have raised up for yourself. 18 Then we will not turn away from you; revive us, and we will call on your name. 19 Restore us, O LORD God Almighty; make your face shine upon us, that we may be saved.---------BRT 365 (BIBLE READING TIME)I am going to keep reading scripture and sharing it with you. If the Lord gives me the help and endurance, I will do this for 365 days, bringing us into 2010. This way we can listen as our God speaks, and be touched by Him in a real way, day to day.P-ROS (PUBLIC READING OF SCRIPTURE). This 90-Day project is an extension of BD Challenge. My inspiration: I Timothy 4:13 (Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to preaching and to teaching.) These daily readings have slowed me down enough to enjoy a word from God and remind me of how brilliant He is. I hope you hear from God today too. Jesus Christ is truly the best thing that ever happened to me.Second 30-Day BD (bible dance) Challenge to read one bible verse a day and record it,...(see more info) http://www.youtube.c om/watch?v=c7OEmaum1 2MFirst 30-Day Dance Choreography Challenge (see more info) http://www.youtube.c om/watch?v=p1j8I3cJT o0 Related: father god holy spirit jesus christ lord almighty love women david singing dancing joy song men king skillz enthrone awaken come save us make your face shine upon that we may be saved | |

| Bread and ButterThu, 08 Jan 2009 20:20:38 -0800 by opchidexio"Let them eat cake..." ? The context of the quote, as attributed to Marie Antoinette, was its utterance during a famine caused by a bread shortage. Upon being alerted that her people were starving due to having little bread to eat, she is said to have replied, "Then let them eat cake." The response among the peasantry may have helped ignite the French Revolution. While typically attributed to Marie Antoinette, the original source is not settled among historians. Some believe that an earlier queen of France, Maria Theresa of Spain, is thought to have said it, if anyone said it at all. (From Wikipedia)Even COMMUNIST nations are governed by a wealth elite. The problem is not capitalism, boys and girls. The problem is human nation. Capitalism is the best thing since BEFORE "the invention of sliced bread."I temporarily shut down the ratings function/feature/wha tever because I suspect the Haters have returned. I will change the settings back to "normal" on January 13th or so. Some of my subscribers will be notified of the exact time at so that they can heap well-deserved praise on my little pointed head. Thank you for your patience, boys and girls : P Related: bread butter tony cake marie antoinette rezko barack obama haters capitalism cats | |
