 for themselves, and yet many more are uncomfortable doing so.
Setting healthy personal boundaries is important for living a balanced and fulfilled life. Our boundaries are a way of exercising self-control. Self-control is mastery of your thoughts, attitudes and actions. Therefore a person who knows who they are and is living authentically, will be confident establishing boundaries. Personal boundaries define your identity, sets expectations and shows respect for others. Setting boundaries is good, but maintaining them is even more important. Only a person who knows, and is secure in who they are can do this effectively, thus the importance of Discovering the True You.
An important aspect of setting boundaries is carving out alone time. To live a truly authentic life you must spend time alone to get filled up with divine wisdom and guard the health of your soul.
Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life (Prov.4:23 NLT).
…went up into the hills by Himself to pray. Night fell while he was there alone. (Matt.14:23 NLT).
Earlier in the chapter He took time alone to grieve the death of John the Baptist. Prior to selecting his twelve apostles, He went up to the mountain and spent all day and night praying to God. It was after that time of prayer that He promoted the twelve from disciples to apostles (Luke 6:12-13). This major decision required him to spend an extended time apart to pray and reflect. It is an example for us to follow. Before making any major decisions in your personal life, ministry or business, take time to ask for guidance and wisdom to make the right choices. It is a discipline that I have instituted in my own life. I pray for wisdom, and to hear the heart of God on the matter before making any decisions.
If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and He will give it to you. (James 1:5 NLT).
The still small voice is heard more in the silence beyond, around and beneath language than it is in the cacophony of incessant sound (Sue Patton Thoele).
In the hours leading up to his crucifixion we see Jesus again separating Himself unto prayer. He was experiencing an overwhelming amount of pressure and anxiety, which led to stress. He knew He was about to fulfill the most important task of His earthly life and so He dedicated Himself to prayer to gain strength for what was to come. Use this as an example for yourself to also spend time in quietness before embarking on major tasks or projects. Get refueled and reenergized to tackle the task at hand with strength, clarity and wisdom.

Many people struggle with this important aspect of their lives because they are afraid of being misunderstood or labelled as selfish. The end result is that they never take a break and end up feeling overworked, stressed or burnt out trying to please everyone else. We were not designed to function like machines. Even machines are taken out of commission once in a while for maintenance. How much more you? Take time to replenish. I encourage you to do this regularly regardless of what anyone says or thinks. Doing so does not mean you are selfish or self-centred, so no need to feel guilty about it. You are responsible for yourself, not the emotions, beliefs and actions of others.
I've always played like this. Possibly it's because growing up I lived a block away from a rental with a really good weekend deal, so I'd rent 1 game every weekend. If I didn't have fun with the game last weekend, it wouldn't get invited back. Now that I own all my games, if a game becomes frustrating and un-fun, I put it down. Sometimes I come back to a game months or years later and start it over again. If I start over enough times I'll eventually beat it. Some people say they beat 20 games in a year, I've probably beat 20 games in my life.HOUSTON — In the end, the flashy business suits, charming smile, 112-foot yachts, luxurious private jets and a passion for the sport of cricket couldn’t mask what Texas tycoon R. Allen Stanford actually was: a con man..”
“Fraud is just theft wearing a business suit,” he said.
Jurors said the totality of the evidence, including testimony from a key insider and boxes of documents, was overwhelming and led them to convict Stanford. Legal experts said prosecutors made the case as simple as possible for jurors and that the financier wasn’t helped by their portrayal of him as a man fueled by ego and greed.
Prosecutors said Stanford ran a massive Ponzi scheme for 20 years in which he used the money from investors who bought certificates of deposit, or CDs, from his bank in Antigua to fund a string of failed businesses, bribe regulators and support his heavy personal spending habits..
Jurors expressed disappointment that Stanford didn’t testify, but don’t know if it would have made a difference.
Some legal experts had advised against Stanford testifying, saying the larger-than-life businessman might have come across as arrogant.
“Personally, I think his ego was so high and so big they couldn’t afford to put him on the stand,” said Wright, an accountant.
While defense attorneys made a mistake in promising jurors that Stanford would testify, they ultimately made the right decision, said Andrew Stoltmann, a Chicago-based attorney who specializes in investment fraud.
“I’m sure Mr. Stanford is thinking had he gotten on the stand, he could have convinced them he was not guilty,” he said. “But that is a fallacy. I think jurors would have had an easier decision.”
Stanford’s case also wasn’t helped by the prosecution’s tactic of constantly highlighting his billionaire lifestyle and portraying him as egotistical and controlling, Stoltmann said.
Jury foreman John Wojciak called the jurors’ deliberations “a difficult process.”
“We went through each piece of evidence. We worked very hard,” said Wojciak, a chemical engineer.
The jury was in agreement fairly early on 13 of the 14 counts Stanford faced, but were deadlocked on one wire fraud count, Wright said.
Jurors said they acquitted Stanford on this one count — in which he was accused of bribing an Antiguan regulator with Super Bowl tickets — because they didn’t have enough information to know if Stanford broke laws in Antigua.
Anthony Sabino, a law professor at St. John’s University in New York City, said the jury’s deliberations, particularly on the acquitted count, showed “they went through the evidence bit by bit. They did a heck of a good job.”
Sabino said the guilty verdict is also a reflection of prosecutors’ successful efforts to simplify the case for jurors.
The jury cleared the way for U.S. authorities to go after $330 million in stolen investor funds sitting in Stanford’s frozen foreign bank accounts.
Stanford, 61, is set to be sentenced on June 14 and could spend the rest of his life behind bars.
Forrest said he hopes investors taken in by Stanford’s scheme will “at least get a sense of closure that he’ll get his when he is sentenced.”Kansas City Fashion Week brings in local, national and international designers from all over to produce premier runway shows.

> I'm cross-compiling WebKit (revision 40084) for a MIPS board using DirectFB backend.
This is a very old revision.
> 1) Has anyone found similar alignment problems compiling webkit for MIPS? If so, how were they fixed?
We have several related bugs, often with proposed solutions. Someone needs to rework the proposed solutions into a form that can be landed into the tree, see <http://webkit.org/coding/contributing.html>.
Here are the bugs I could quickly find (I'm also listing Sparc and Alpha issues here, as they may have common root causes).<gh_stars>0
