Yesterday, I participated in my 17th Patriot Guard Rider mission. Sad to say, it was a funeral mission. Another Veteran has gone to meet his maker.
I much prefer meeting the Troops as they come back home, but I feel honored that in some small way that I and my fellow Riders can demonstrate to the families of the deceased that many in our Nation still respect their loved ones for their Service, and that we will continue to do so as long as we exist.
What stood out in this particular mission was that the deceased was a fellow biker and chose to take his Last Ride in a special hearse:
Hope I get the same for my Last Ride...and I hope that ride is in the far distant future.
I would urge all of you that ride to check out the PGR and maybe join us on future missions. Believe me, it will do your soul good. You don't need to be a veteran, you don't even need to be a rider; you just have to have respect for the sacrifices our military men and women make every day on our behalf.

In current literary terms, sentimentality is both a device used to induce a tender emotional response disproportionate to the situation at hand,[2] (and thus to substitute heightened and generally uncritical feeling for normal ethical and intellectual judgments), and a heightened reader response willing to invest previously prepared emotions to respond disproportionately to a literary situation.[3]

Isaiah 54:5 (asv) tells us, Thy Maker is thy husband; JEHOVAH OF HOSTS (my emphasis) is his name. Here Isaiah provides a twofold glimpse of our Lord-Sabaoth. First, He is our Maker. Second, He is likewise a Husband. This is a picture of God in His Providential Role Lockyer writes: Has death (annulment/divorce) taken your dear partner and provider and are heart and home vacant, and children left fatherless? Take courage, sorrowing one, for the Lord offers to fill that dear ones place with more of His own abiding presence, and be more to you than an earthly husband could be. May you prove Him to be as a husband in your widowhood. (because of death of spouse or marriage)

I believe when you need a dictionary to read the first paragraph of a blog post, you really wouldn’t want to continue, especially when you’re in a rush.

Hands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
