Dropping out of hyperspace near the Imperial capital of Bastion, they arrived in the middle of the Battle of Bastion. After performing a microjump towards the retreating Imperial fleet, Jade Skywalker informed Imperial admiral Gilad Pellaeon of the location of a yammosk carrier, and then, per Pellaeon's request, withdrew the Jade Shadow back to Yaga Minor with most of the Imperial fleet. Despite a sticky and officious greeting from Commander Keten and Moff Kurlen Flennic, they managed to meet with Pellaeon's protégé, Captain Arien Yage, who was more welcoming than the Moff and Keten had been. Pellaeon had arrived back at Yaga Minor, but barely alive, and his absence from command meant that the Remnant was less welcoming than they had been previously, so Jade Skywalker withdrew Jade Shadow while Jacen attempted to negotiate with the hard-liners. Thankfully, Pellaeon recovered enough to resume command and with the aid of the Jedi, planned the Battle of Borosk. Jade Skywalker flew in the battle in her beloved Jade Shadow, accompanied by Danni Quee, and became part of Saba Sebatyne's plan to free Imperial prisoners from a slave-carrier vessel in the back of the Yuuzhan Vong fleet that attacked Borosk. She docked the Jade Shadow in the docking bay of an old Imperial Dreadnaught that was heavily automated and modified to be sacrificial while flown near the slave-carrier. Once Quee and Sebatyne disabled the ship and released the prisoners, Jade Skywalker brought them into the Dreadnaught's hangar bay with the Shadow's tractor beam and retrieved the two females. Their damaged Dreadnaught then jumped to hyperspace, its mission successful, until the conclusion of the battle and the withdrawal of Yuuzhan Vong forces. Before they left the Remnant, Jade Skywalker and some of the other Jedi attended a meeting with Pellaeon and the Moff Council, and she saved Pellaeon's life from Flennic's assassination attempt. They then left Imperial space for Chiss territory, accompanied by an Imperial frigate, the Widowmaker, under the command of Captain Yage, to support and escort them.[68]
Soon enough, Zonama Sekot dropped out of hyperspace in orbit near Coruscant. Jade Skywalker experienced a happy reunion with family and loved ones when Han and Leia, along with a full crew of Jedi, arrived aboard the Falcon, along with Mirax Horn from the Errant Venture. The Skywalkers then returned to Contruum in the Jade Shadow, accompanied by the Errant Venture, to meet with Galactic Alliance officials. The various brass and politicians informed them that they were planning a decisive strike at Coruscant and Skywalker promised the aid of the Jedi, though many of them had remained on Zonama Sekot to bond with the new Sekotan craft that were being grown for them.[71]
Sunshine Blind - [1995] Love The Sky To Death.rar Full
When Jade first met Skywalker after the destruction of the second Death Star, their relationship was more than prickly at first, as she wanted to kill him, although they were forced to cooperate on numerous occasions to survive.[4] As she worked with him, she developed at first a grudging respect for him, then later a growing admiration, tempered by her pragmatism and coolness as usual.[37][88] While fighting on Nirauan, in order to coordinate their efforts perfectly, they performed a Force Meld, linking their minds. It was after understanding each other on so deep a level that they realized the depth of their attraction for each other.[44] The two fell in love and were happily married.[52] The Skywalkers had a son that they named Ben, in honor of the memory of Skywalker's first master, Obi-Wan "Ben" Kenobi.[63] Jade Skywalker would be at her husband's side throughout the Yuuzhan Vong War as his supportive wife, even while being deathly ill for much of the initial stages.[6] While they often disagreed, the Skywalkers trusted each other explicitly and supported the other half of their union.[2][71] Upon her death, Skywalker was devastated by the loss of his wife, and, clouded by grief, struck down Lumiya after believing her to be Jade Skywalker's killer. Even though he felt that his world had ended, Skywalker was eventually able to recover enough to again fully take the helm of the Jedi Order, knowing that his wife would not have wanted him to let his grief control him.[2][35]
You are a blinded hateful God hater! While God created us all equal, He is no Communist! We all are sinners in need of the only Savior and Messiah of mankind! God loves us, but He hates our sin and rebellion against Him! God is Holy and Just! He wants to bless us, however when we continue to reject Jesus Christ and His Inspired, Inerrant and Infallible Word, we suffer from the consequences of our sin against Him!! Ask God to Reveal Himself to you, and seek Him (Jesus Christ) with all of your heart! In His Holy Word!! Ask Him to save you from your sins! Repent (turn from attempting to be your own god, and doing your own will)! Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools dispise Wisdom and instruction. 22 How long, ye simple ones, will you love simplicity? and the scorners delight their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? 23 Turn you (Repent) at My reproof: be, I will pour out My Spirit unto you, I will make known My words unto you. 24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out My Hand, and no man regarded; 25 But ye have set at nought all My Counsel, and would none of My reproof: 26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; 27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. 28 Then shall they call upon Me, but I will not answer; they shall seek Me early, but they shall not find Me: 29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: 30 They would none of My Counsel: they despised all of My reproof. 31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. 32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. 33 But whoso hearkeneth unto Me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil. 2:1 My son, if thou wilt receive My words, and hide My Commandments with thee; 2 So that thou incline thine ear unto Wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; 3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; 4 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; 5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. 6 For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of His Mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. 7 He layeth up sound Wisdom for the righteous: He is a Buckler to them that walk uprightly. 8 He Keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of His saints. 9 Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path. 10 When Wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; 11 Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep (guard/protect) thee: 12 To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things; 13 who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness; 14 who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked; 15 Whose ways are crooked; and they froward in their paths: 3:1 My son, forget not My law; but let thine heart keep My Commandments: 2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. 3 Let not mercy and Truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: 4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the Sight of God and man. 5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and do not lean unto thine own (human reasoning) understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths. 7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil (sin). 8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones. 9 Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the first fruits of all thine increase: 10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. 11 My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of His correction: 12 For whom the LORD loveth He correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighted.
The things that I have written here, are just a tiny fraction of the difficulties I encountered in Portugal and which I cannot find the words to describe well. I have loved living around the world, speak several languages and am used to working and sometimes living in what others judge to be very tough and extreme conditions. I do not normally give up and tend to adjust to wherever I go/ My experience in Portugal was unprecedented and has left deep mental scars (more impactful than the financial losses) and I am still struggling to rebuild my trust in people and myself, elsewhere. The country is clearly a fantastic option for some people with many beautiful and quite exceptional sides to it, but please reflect on what I and others have written before deciding if it is the right place for you. And taking all our points in mind please carefully consider if you would thrive there or potentially be very damaged by living there.
I have been coming to Portugal for over 34 years. I am an American married to a Native. I like what you said about the weight that one places on these negatives. I am now retired and live here full time. We live north of Lisbon where we have owned an apt for 15 years, it has more than doubled in price. I left the US because as a retired firefighter we don't have access to health insurance until we are 65yo. My wife and I were paying over $1000 a month for health insurance. I feared becoming ill and loosing all we worked for due to the sky high price of any hospital procedure. Here a policy for us is 165 euros a month. I have had an operation in a private hospital, 5 star service. You cant move to another country and expect it to be the same as the one you left. All of the statements about red tape are true. Yes there is a large amount of dog crap on the sidewalks from north to south. Working wages are low. People can seem rude and short in the government service offices. I am the one that handles legal things in our home and it can be daunting, almost impossible to resolve anything. Been trying to trade my drivers card for 2 years now, still waiting. Despite all these things ,I love it here and plan to stay. I don't recognize the US. I was a city Firefighter and I have seen the dark underbelly of American life. Shootings, stabbings, poverty, racism. Most cities or towns have an area where this happens regularly. Not to mention the lustful worship of weapons and mass shootings. Kids don't have shooting drills here in school. With all its imperfections Portuguese kids aren't shot in school. Shootings are rare. I am lucky and look at Portugal through the lens of a retiree who worked his ass off in the US, saved money and now enjoy the Portugal of someone retired with nice pensions. I speak the language well and have many Portuguese friends, and some family. Life is completely different for someone working here with the current wages. I see the major cities becoming so expensive most locals cant afford to live there, like NYC, San Fran, Chicago, etc etc. Its not perfect but it is safe. The Portuguese people are hospitable, generous, kind and caring. But unlike the US where people pretend to be nice (fake) immediately. Here they are little more reserved, need to know you first, you have to build a relationship. Portugal is a great place to live, I am lucky and privileged to be here. But it took me 3 decades of work and savings in the US to live the good life here. The streets aren't paved with gold. Temper your expectations or stay home.
