For Jordan Sokel, Music Is About More Than "Pressing Strings"
Catching Up With The Local Singer-Songwriter
He didn't know it as a 5-year-old who sang contemporary pop songs during karaoke. He didn't know it during his time at Broadneck High School, where he played guard on the basketball team, wide receiver for the football squad and midfielder for the lacrosse unit. And he certainly did not know it as a college freshman studying communication arts and marketing at Salisbury University.
Jordan Sokel did not know that he would pursue a career not in athletics but in another form of entertainment.
"I did nothing but sports in high school," said Sokel, who suffered a shoulder injury at Salisbury, forcing him to reconsider his options. "I didn't know what I was going to do, and around 19, I started to toy with the idea of focusing on music."
Sokel and a friend started gigging at small bars under the name Pressing Strings around 2009. A friend came up with the band name.
"It's literally what we are doing," Sokel said of the moniker. But since then, he has embraced the idea that music is so much more than that. "There's this duality there because with 'pressing,' there is a verbiage that implies something that needs immediate attention."
Music drew Sokel's immediate attention. Three years after partnering, Sokel and his friend came to a crossroads. Pursue music as a career or perform as a hobby? Sokel chose one path, his friend the other.
"This is my identity and this is what I need to be satisfied in life," Sokel said.
Pressing Strings transitioned between a few lineups during the recording of its first three albums: "Where We Are" (2008), "Episodes" (2010) and "Pressing Strings" (2012). Today, Sokel fronts Pressing Strings alongside bassist Nick Welker and drummer Brandon Bartlett.
"When Nick first started, he was shy singing-wise, but now he's solid," Sorkel said. "He has evolved the most out of any of us. Brandon has always been steady; he's like a human metronome. He's the backbone of the band."
Their music fuses elements of blues, funk, soul, folk and reggae.
Sokel, a self-taught musician, learned from listening to recordings of Al Green, Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, Sam Cooke and Paul Simon. Those influences served as the basis for the trio's sound.
"It wasn't a cognitive thing; I didn't decide to mix a bunch of different types of music," Sokel explained. "It was a hodgepodge of my influences. It's hard to categorize [the music], but it's singer-songwriter."
After releasing "Life of a Tree" as a solo effort in 2014, Sokel partnered with his new bandmates to record "Owe the Source" in 2015 and "Five from Three" and "Most Of Us" in 2016. "Most Of Us" was recorded with Scott Jacoby (John Legend, José James, Rachel Platten, Vampire Weekend) and Neil Dorfsman (Sting, Bruce Springsteen, Dire Straits and Bob Dylan).
"I'm still trying to figure out a sound that feels like my own," Sokel admitted. "I always enjoy when bands switch their style or when every song doesn't sound the same."
To showcase a different sound, Pressing Strings recently released a new live album that was recorded in July 2016 at Red Bridge Studios in Savage, Maryland. The studio is co-owned by former Pressing Strings drummer Bob Novak. Sokel described the performance as a "house concert-style show."
"I appreciate what the band sounded like live, because the studio can be sterile and controlled," he said. "When we're playing live, it's like playing music for a group of friends."
Looking ahead to spring 2018, Pressing Strings plans to release a new album reminiscent of early 60s soul while maintaining its foothold in the local live music scene with shows at Rams Head On Stage, Stan and Joe's Saloon in Annapolis, and a St. Patrick's event at Fadó Irish Pub.
In the song "What's Around You," Sokel lends his tender voice to the lyrics, "My senses feel that the urgency is real, that the ghost of our future selves are scratching at our heels."
As for the future of Pressing Strings, Sokel is optimistic.
"Things are looking steady," Sokel said, "even though the music industry is tough to navigate. I enjoy the challenge and always want to keep releasing new material."
Upcoming Shows
Every other Thursday: Stan and Joe's Saloon at 37 West Street in Annapolis.
Feb 24: Jordan Sokel opens for Rachael Yamagata 1:00pm at Rams Head On Stage.

Children of Giant unearths the deeply wrought emotions surrounding the de-facto segregation of Anglos and Latinos in the small West Texas town of Marfa, before, during, and after the month-long production of George Stevens' 1956 feature film, Giant, which tells the story of three generations of a powerful Texas ranching dynasty. Based on Edna Ferber's controversial novel, Giant was a different kind of western, one that took an unflinching look at feminism and class divisions and one of the first films to explore the racial divide between Anglos and Mexican Americans in the Southwest. In this lesson, students will understand the ongoing social impact of stereotypes in film and media and how George Stevens and the makers of Giant both reinforced and attempted to subvert common and pernicious stereotypes of race, class, and gender in 1950's America.

This is Jenn. Jenn has cold fingers. Even when making her art indoors in her fabulous studio, her hands are cold. Jenn is also a good friend of mine who is very adept at dropping hints.
All these factoids together made deciding what to make for Jenn this Christmas very easy. I knew I needed to make her artsy-looking fingerless gloves...something she could wear even in a suit while at conferences. A quick pattern perusal on Ravelry let me to this: "Endpaper Mitts." This surprisingly easy pattern was created by Eunny Jang and is available FOR FREE on her fabulous website, See Eunny Knit! If this name sounds familiar, think Interweave Knits...editor.
Endpapers/Endsheets are those beautiful hand marbled or hand printed papers which used to cover the attachment of the pages of a book to the leather cover. So, as Jenn is a professional scrapbook artist/paper artist, what could be more appropriate than a pattern design based on a paper design?!?
I used Cherry Tree Hill Possum Paints in amethyst...a super-soft gentian-blue yarn which is so intensely dyed that it nearly glows, and doubled Rowan 4ply soft (shade 298) for contrast. Loved the tubular cast on AND the tubular (k1p1) cast off as they gave a very professional finish.
Check out Jenn Mason working with her (warm) hands on glorious pieces of art on her Website, her Blog...OR, pick up any of her many books available on Amazon.com:

An article that highlights a high profile letter sent by more than 100 African scholars and human rights activists calling on UNESCO to cancel the UNESCO-Obiang Prize for the Life Sciences.
More than 100 African scholars and human rights defenders are demanding the cancellation of a UNESCO science prize named for the president of Equatorial Guinea. Citizens of Equatorial Guinea and prominent African figures, including Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Graça Machel, Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka, and author Chinua Achebe, said in a letter that "the continued existence of this prize is an affront to Africans everywhere who work for the betterment of our countries."
They cited a disastrous record of serious abuses and mismanagement of the country's wealth by the funder of the prize, President Teodoro Obiang Nguema. President Obiang seized power more than 30 years ago and has been accused of human rights violations including unlawful killings, torture, and arbitrary arrests. Obiang denies the allegations. (...)
"While Equatorial Guinea's government has tried to characterize opposition to this prize as racist and colonialist, in fact many Africans have been vocal opponents of the prize," said Tutu Alicante, an Equatoguinean and Executive Director of the human rights organization EG Justice.

Star Trek Into Darkness has a lot to live up to. With fifty-odd years of history, including eleven previous films and some truly unforgettable moments, Star Trek is pretty much the godmother of modern science fiction. In 2009, J. J. Abrams pulled off what seemed like the impossible. With the arrival of Star Trek into the cinemas, he managed to successfully reboot this beloved universe, pulling her by her ample nacelles back into the spotlight, and how we loved him for it. So with this shinier, sexier Star Trek now firmly back on the radar, how did they do this time? Has Star Trek Into Darkness boldy gone where no sequel has gone before, or is film number twelve just one too many?
In the far future, Starfleet, Earth's galaxy-wide peacekeeping organisation, suffers a brutal and unexpected attack from within, instigated by one of their own for unknown reasons. For Captain James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) however, this quickly turns personal and the crew of the Enterprise, including the ever-stoic Mr Spock (Zachary Quinto) and long-suffering doctor, Leonard "Bones" McCoy (Karl Urban) are dispatched to find and destroy the culprit, identified as an Agent John Harrison (Benedict Cumberbatch). However, things are not as they seem and the crew of the Enterprise soon find themselves trapped in a battle bigger and more dangerous than they could have ever imagined. Let's be honest. I am a bit of a Trek fan. Because of this I know a little too much about Vulcan mating rituals, own at least three Leonard Nimoy albums and believe that one shouldn't mess with the classics. This is why I was a little disappointed to see that the plot and indeed most of the script relied incredibly heavily on material from the incomparable Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Whilst it was thrilling to those aware to see these new kids spouting references to classic Trek, it made the film feel like recycled goods – as opposed to part of the exciting rewritten timeline I had now come to expect.
The film as a standalone, however, is a beautifully executed thrill ride. The visual effects are stunning, the action fast paced, and the humour bountiful and well timed – and I would not expect anything less from the same team behind the previous instalment. The story, whilst disjointed in places, is gripping – the danger and villainy this time very claustrophobic and intense. The cast play their roles well and bounce lines off each other with the speed of a warp drive, notable examples being the adorable bromance between Captain Kirk and Spock, and Karl Urban managing to make every one of his lines hilarious. Benedict Cumberbatch has a very commanding presence, is suitably English enough to be morally ambiguous and does his actual job as a fangirl magnet with little difficulty – no surprises there then. Alive Eve, as Dr Carol Marcus, however, offends me on most levels. She appears to serve exclusively as an extra pair of breasts in an attempt to make the final frontier seem less homoerotic. Even Lieutenant Uhura (Zoe Saldana), historically a strong character, is left without any major development, her only purpose being Spock's clingy girlfriend. It is actually a little disconcerting to see how little female influence there is in a universe famous for breaking sexual and racial boundaries – it is absolutely fine to be any alien race you want, but God forbid, don't ever be a woman.
In other news, there are some exceptionally awesome additions to the Trek universe here. Keep an eye out for rebooted Klingons, the USS Vengeance – a Dreadnought-class Federation warship and Lt Sulu's (John Cho) glorious leadership skills. The lens flares are beautiful. The wetsuits are very tight. I could go on for a long time about the amazing eyebrows on display but I will spare you that. All in all, the film is mostly a success. Yes, I complain about rehashing classic material and disjointed plots, but it was so exciting and polished and heart-wrenching that I couldn't help but enjoy myself. Go in wanting brand new voyages and perfect scripts, and you will find it underwhelming. Go in expecting epic moments, explosions and warp speed, and I can guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Distant Pals
New Format for 2016-2017 School Year
Distant Pals (DP) is a unique program that matches students who are deaf, hard of hearing and deafblind from around the state with a peer who is deaf, hard of hearing or deafblind.
The revamped Distant Pals Program will have an expanded focus on literacy, aligning with the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) definition of literacy. The more traditional definition of literacy, including reading and writing, has been expanded by DPI as "the confluence of content knowledge, experiences, and skills merged with the ability to read, write, listen, speak, think critically, and perform in a way that is meaningful within the context of a given field."
New this year: Distant Pals is going high-tech with new online forms and a distance technology format.
Expectations: Pals will be expected to "meet" six times (approximately monthly) per school year via distance technology such as a videophone, Google Hangouts, FaceTime, Skype, etc. with the support of a Supervising Adult.
New matching opportunities: Pals can be mentors (age 16+) to a younger pal (mentee, age 15 or younger). Traditional matching parameters such as gender, communication mode and listening technology will still be available.
Connect to the student's IEP: Supervising adults will be asked to ensure that sessions with a Distant Pal support at least one goal on the student's IEP. The Distant Pals Program can support goals related to communication, self-identity, and/or College and Career ready technology skills. Supervising adults will have greater flexibility in identifying projects and expectations to match their particular student's needs and IEP goals.
No paper! No need to mail projects and no specific deadline requirements. Everything will be done electronically through distance technology, facilitated by the supervising adults using an agreed upon technology/app.
Discontinued point system for extrinsic rewards: The value of meeting a peer, via distance technology, should become intrinsically motivating for the student!
Registration Documents - Must be submitted by September 30th
DP Student Registration/Information Form - submit one per student. You will receive a confirmation email if submission is successful.

Knitting loom Instructions might come in handy if you are new to knitting on a loom. Knitting on a loom is rather easy (and quick) but only when you know how to do the fundamentals, like casting on and off and how to do knit and purl stitches.
On this page, you will find instructions on how to do an Easy Cast On and an Easy Cast Off.
© Xiebiyun | Dreamstime.com - Long Knitting Board
This method of casting on is good for when you are getting started but not recommended if you like a neat edge!
Start by making a slip knot, and placing the loop over the first peg on your loom with the trailing yarn in the centre of your loom. Holding the loom in your left hand take the yarn behind and then around the second peg crossing the yarn at the back of the peg. Continue all the way around the loom twice so that you have two loops on each peg.
Fasten the yarn on the holding peg on the side of the loom.
Using the hook tool, lift the bottom loop on the first peg up and over the top loop, and allow it to slip over the peg to the back of the work to form a knit stitch.
Continue all the way around the loom.
When you have completed the knit stitch on the last peg, unwrap the working yarn from the holding peg and wrap another row of loops on each peg around the loom to start the next row of stitches.
To make a firm cast on edge using this method you will need a crochet hook in addition to your loom and your loom hook.
To start make a slip knot and place your crochet hook in the loop. Slip the loop on your crochet hook over the first peg, keeping the hook in place. Hold the loom and the tail of the slip knot in your left hand, and the crochet hook and the working yarn in you right hand inside the loom.
Move the working yarn around to the front or outside of the second peg. Using your crochet hook at the back or inside of the second peg, insert the hook through the gap between the second and third pegs and pull the yarn through the loop on the hook to form a chain stitch.
Continue all the way around the loom making a chain stitch between each peg. When you reach the gap between the last and first pegs, slip the loop still on your crochet hook over the first peg.
At this point, you should have one loop on all pegs, except the first one which will have two loops.
If you have managed to successfully cast on your knitting on your loom, the next step is to learn how to form knit stitches. You will find instructions on just how to do that (and a few more tasks as well) on the 2nd knitting loom instructions page.

I do not actively monitor the conversations on facebook and will not know that you have left a message unless you specifically tag me. Please use the form on my Ask a Knitting Question page instead as I get an email notification any time someone asks a question.

Round Vase 11"x14" Original Painting SOLD
This was created by Shannon Crandall using lots of layers of vibrant acrylic paint, collaged paper and oil pastels. Shannon loves to play with mixed media materials. She hand paints most of the paper that she uses for collage. Each painting is a story told by the layers and marks. Shannon is a NY artist who is self taught. She loves to paint with no end idea in mind. Many times she starts a piece by finger painting and along the way adds collage, some charcoal or oil pastels. Her only rule is to have fun and enjoy the process. This painting is a representation of the beautiful flowers and foliage Shannon sees through her studio windows and shows off the brilliant periwinkle and lime greens. As a contrast Shannon added some rusts and red and collaged some of the leaves with tiny pieces of paper. This mixed media painting is on a gallery deep birch board. The edges are painted black and it is wired and ready to hang. It will brighten any room.
Although the original painting has sold there are matted prints available of this painting in a finished size of 8"x10" at a price of $22 each. Please contact me if you'd like to order.

Living in the Third World2:06 AM
The thing is, I live this seemingly 'okay' life but actually isn't. You can always alter your life online but when you failed to pay your internet bill - you will most likely reflect all the things you've seen and posted - even evaluate your true feelings.
Problems arise from here and there and when shit hits the ceiling. We are no different than those people who we think struggles more than us. The truth is the majority refers to themselves as survivors. Our parents taught us how to survive. And for us, that's just the end of it. The world just means survival.
And that's what I think that's wrong! Man this is not The Walking Dead! No, not yet.
|Sunset . Bankerohan Public Market. (c) Cinegang Productions
Years have passed and still, we learn nothing. We just keep on fighting even if there's no fight to fight. We sometimes think we are being oppressed when we are not. I know this won't make sense to you. And I know I sound a little emotional than I should and that's why I can't tell you exactly where this is going. I also can't tell you what happened prior this but I can tell you one thing. Today, I witnessed how money actually makes the world go round. That's the truth.
We would probably mock scripted shows depicting an exaggerated poor vs rich scenario but when you think about it - it's the truth. And we can't always blame the rich because they stand - and they will - for what would make their lives more convenient. Convenience. An image of a happy family in a big house full of elaborate details, expensive furniture, maids scrubbing the floor, drivers flirting with the maids and guards sleeping by the gate waiting for you to honk a million times.
On the other side of the coin, is an image of a family struggling and wanting just enough to make ends meet. Surviving. Or maybe even more so that the financial burdens they bear may be dissolved and live a simple life. A small house in a subdivision with a front yard full of flowers and happy people. Happiness.
Happiness isn't a prerequisite to wealth. Get real! It's the other way around.
The only reason why the majority looked happier is because they savor the slightest amount of happiness they can find. And that's not necessarily a good thing. But do you think they're really happy? No. When they get back to their homes after a gossip session with their backstabbing neighbor reality creeps in and they just have to do something. They live in the now. Apparently, survival ain't enough.
Surviving ain't living. And I choose to live.

Glad I was able to read your comment through my email. Whatever your reason for deleting that I respect. Haha. We happen to share the same sentiments tho. :)Delete
Life is truly unfair and we know once. Take note that the world wasn't made for you, it was made for everyone and expect unpleasant people along the way. I've learned that after entering the 'real' world. It really is hard, Mark I tell you, but you'll get used to it. Even if I'm working on my dream job/career, there are some people within your work environment who would try to pull you down. But I don't care at all. As long as I didn't do anything wrong, I wouldn't mind. Waste of energy and time. #WhoGoatReplyDeleteReplies
#WhoGoat jud masyado Renz! Hahaha. Yeah, I'm kind of in between the real world and the wizarding world now so I can get a taste of real world problems din from time to time. Labad. Hahaha. Thanks sa mga tips! I'll ready myself nalang jud anyway the world has a lot to offer man din. Positive thinking nalang! :)Delete
Wow ang lalim naman nun.ReplyDelete
Life is really unfair. hay Ako I just think positive all the time. Sounds cliche but it is important. I practice gratitude nalang.
And as I age, I've come to realize the importance of not-really giving a sh*t about what others think about me. Basta ako I do my best and I just let go of the rest. With the way you write, you're so full of wisdom at a very young age. :)
Hello markable, this is my first time to visit here in your blog. well, i understand what you share here in your blog post. Always remember that God is good and one day life will be fair. Always remember your deepest reasons why you need to smile everyday.ReplyDelete

Mavis's Dream Three
In theory, a converted church should be the perfect place to see a band like GYBE!. Empty, ethereal, almost sacred, with angels looking down from on high and a faint bluey-red light filtering down through the stained glass. Hushed whispers as the band takes the stage, for we are in a former sacred space, an environment in which over centuries has spawned music at once both enlivening and amazing. Yet in reality, the New Trinity seems to be stuck on a traffic island in a dodgy area of the city. Outside it looks great. In fact, as the doors open nearly 90 minutes after they were supposed to, the impatient crowd outside gets plenty of opportunity in the biting wind. Its getting to the stage where, as the rush hour traffic dies down, were anticipating the GYBE! dynamic. Oh look, bus goes past LOUD BIT! Traffic disappears shhh quiet bit - lorry drives past LOUD BIT again. And on a night when all the planets are supposed to converge, the sky is clear and the stars are out, it seems only fair that the only thing we can hear is the sound of an organ, emanating from a locked side door that we discover on a walk round to stave off the cold. Church, stars, planets, organ, intense band. The portents seem to be right. Only theyre not.
Maybe we should have guessed that by the time the doors open at ten to nine, we walk in and discover Godspeed arent due on till after eleven, and wont finish till just after one. Now maybe in rock and roll land, this is no big shakes, but when youve been keeping your audience waiting for ages already, only for them to get in and find theres STILL two hours before the headliners go on, youre going to piss a proportion of your audience off before youve even walked on. And while this may be fine for the die-hard fans, for the uncommitted or merely curious it kills off any real willingness to give you a decent go anyway. Especially if you get a band as dire as Fly Pan Am as first opener. Three beardy blokes, all sat down, making taciturn post-rock machinations with oooh, heres our gimmick lots of odd electronic noises. One of them was/is in Labradford, but it so doesnt matter. They bore everyone within about six minutes, and you worry that this is maybe what Godspeed would be like without the film loops.
A pause, then, while we admire the false ceiling in the church (karate club upstairs, apparently), read the notices saying DO NOT TAPE YOUR CABLES TO THE WALL, PLEASE HANG THEM FROM THE HOOKS PROVIDED. And whaddya know, theres hooks running from stage to mixing desk and back again, making a nice shadow on the wall and reminding Mavis of the spaghetti she had for tea. And eventually Icelandic Sigur Ros come on, only the lead singer bloke isnt bald and doesnt sound a bit like Björk. Hello, he says moodily, were Sigur Ros. Then he straps on his guitar and...oh-oh. He picks up a bow. Visions of Jimmy Page wankery spring to mind, forty-five minute guitar workouts and songs that never, ever end. But then organ blokey starts up his organ, lead singer opens his mouth and from it emanates a voice that is deep in the netherworld, high but angelic, sweet yet gritty, and from the bowed guitar comes this enormous roar of anger and pity and melancholy. Its one of those moments which seldom happen at gigs, when everything suddenly works together to produce the most perfect mix, capturing the mood perfectly. Bang, it hits you, and suddenly you pay attention, it captures you and draws you in and wont allow you to let go even if you wanted to. Forty-five all too brief minutes later, its over, and, although the entire thing has been conducted in Icelandic, you really dont care. It was majestic, life-affirming and beautiful.
Time to take stock after that, recover, lean against one of the many pillars and have a quick nap before Godspeed. Its now 10:30, and Mavis has a meeting at 7:30 the next morning. Shuteye, therefore, is rather important, especially seeing its a good hours drive home. So it takes Godspeed ages to set up. The woman on the T-shirt stand gets up at the last minute, walks to the stage, casts off her leather jacket and scarf, ties back her voluminous hair, grabs a chair and opens up a cello case. The bloke at the back has spent hours feeding loops of film into four projectors and looks almost ready. And Godspeed take the stage. And fill it, cos its only tiny and there are nine of them. Its difficult to say who precisely does what, but the only one standing is making odd percussive noises and playing a mini glockenspiel. The film loops start up, and the band launch into the first track from their New Riot For Zero Kanada EP. And it sounds...well, pretty much like the first track from their New Riot For Zero Kanada EP. Note for note, slow build up for slow build up, loud bit for loud bit. Now, granted, with nine musicians on stage, improvisation may be a little difficult to co-ordinate, but would it be too much to ask for just a little variation from their recorded incarnation? For most bands its a matter of necessity, that the carefully constructed sound sculptures created lovingly in a wood panelled room in Wales will not be able to be performed verbatim and so therefore a slight amount of rearrangement is in order.
Maybe its that Godspeed are so tight, so well-drilled and rehearsed that they capture their live sound perfectly on record. But even if they do, why just regurgitate it night after night? Why not push the boat out, wherever, so that theres something different to latch on to? Without a strong visual focus, the band stand and fall by their music. Granted, they supply film loops and short films tonight, but theres a limit to the amount of times a person can watch a Montreal police car driving past a brick apartment block before the mind starts to wander. To be frank, it might have been a better idea to put a Godspeed CD on and idly surf the channels on Sky Digital, waiting for a miraculous synchronicity to take place. It sure as hell doesnt happen here. Granted, the atmosphere isnt helped by the Bristol crowd chatting their way through the quiet bits, to the extent that in places Godspeed are drowned out. Thats not right, and terribly rude. But still tonight a chair may have been a good idea; standing post-rock gigs are not an easy undertaking. But as the evening draws in, the planets converge a little more, and a fair number of the audience are heading for the doors, seemingly disappointed with what they have seen. After nearly an hour, Mavis concurs, and on the drive home nearly gets hit by a joyrider with no lights on and by the police car chasing it. Kind of sums up the evening, really.

I was watching the replay of the US Figure Skating Championships at San Jose, and I looked up to see my characters Ben and Allegra ice dancing! Well, okay, Ben and Allie don't skate because, ahem, my books are set in the Philippines in 1905, when ice is hard enough to find for your calamansi juice, let alone dance around on. But still . . . these two are adorable. If I had not already written my characters Ben Potter and Allegra Alazas to fall in love, this real-life couple would have inspired it.
Sugar Moon lands in 2018. Until then let these two cuties tide you over in the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics. Evan Bates was even elected as the U.S. Figure Skating Team Captain! Allow Evan and Madison to explain ice dancing to you with Legos. Video courtesy of Channel 5 NBC in Chicago.

A Lithuanian-born marketing professional, whose dream is to work in a big Silicon Valley company, is trying to break through to potential employers by hand-delivering donut boxes with his resume posted to the inside.
"I am chasing my dream and doing everything that's in power of me," Lukas Yla told local Fox affiliate in the Bay Area KCPQ.
La, who has delivered 40 such boxes so far, attaches a note to the inside of the donut boxes, along with his resume. "Most resumes end up in the trash. Mine — in your belly," he writes, in large red lettering.
Yla reportedly dresses up as a Postmates courier in order to drop his delicious resume idea off at 40 different places. Yla told ABC 7 that he "ordered a burger from the Postmates just to check how they do the delivery," and then designed a T-shirt that copied the Postmates logo.
He reportedly had to go to three different places before one would agree to print the logo for him.
So far, he has received 10 interviews. However, KCPQ notes that he has not accepted a job yet.
The regional vice president of staffing firm Robert Half said his motivation sat well with her. "It sounds like he's a go-getter, he's willing to do whatever it takes to get the job and I'd hire him," Heather Johnston told ABC 7.
Yla also includes a link to his LinkedIn profile on his resume.
On his Twitter account, Yla notes that he was "helping a car sharing company named CityBee to go mainstream" for the last three years and that he is now "looking for new opportunities in marketing, advertising & tech."
His job search has received attention over social media:

Prayer for Taiwan
God of all creation,
Out of darkness you brought beauty and goodness as you created the world.
Even before day and night, you created the sea and the earth out of chaos and called them good.
Today, we come to you as people in need of that life-giving goodness. As you once created order and goodness out of chaos,
Do so so again in Taiwan.
Be with your people as they rebuild their lives.
Fill them with faith to trust in you, knowing that you are present in the calmness of the whispering wind.
Surround them with your love as they try to make sense of this act of nature.
May our hearts remain open to our brothers and sisters as we respond in faith to their need.
We ask this in the name of Jesus.

Rick Kingham,
Executive Director of Global Ministries for Jewish Voice

Our largest numbers this week occurred today at the Jewish Voice medical clinic in Hosanna, Ethiopia—more than 2,000 patients and nearly 900 expressions of faith in Yeshua! Hundreds from the Gefat community came to experience the historic launch of the only Messianic congregation in the region! Jonathan Bernis, President and CEO of Jewish Voice Ministries International, and I challenged the people to exalt the name of Yeshua.
Consider joining us on a Jewish Voice medical mission as a volunteer! All throughout the year, we host international medical outreaches for underprivileged Jewish communities in remote parts of Africa and India that feature free treatment for medical, eye, and dental conditions. Our five-day clinics bring not only physical healing through medicine and medical procedures, but also spiritual healing through sharing the Gospel of Yeshua and through prayer. You don't have to be a medical professional to raise your own support and come on a humanitarian outreach with us; you just need to be willing to serve with a heart of compassion. Sign up for an upcoming outreach.

Thousands Reached on the Streets of Mexico City
By Jonathan Gannon,
Jewish Voice Director of Global Outreach
DATELINE: Mexico City
September 5, 2012
Greetings once again from Mexico City, where things are running with great intensity. We have been amazed with the results on the streets from the past few days. The theme of the past two days has been "breakthrough." The testimonies we are hearing from "Denny" and the street outreach team are "Book of Acts" amazing.
The role of the street outreach team (nearly 200 people every day) is to strategically saturate areas of the city (primarily Jewish community areas) with Festival invitations (a.k.a fliers). In the process of handing the invitations to people on the streets, the team is trained to engage people in evangelistic conversations.
The results have been staggering: Sunday – 40,000 invitations and 52 salvations, Monday – 90,000 invitations and 80 salvations, and Tuesday – 130,000 invitations distributed and 170 salvations. The running tally after three days is this: 260,000 distributed Festival invitations and 302 salvations. Praise the Lord! (more…)

Reese Witherspoon wishes son Deacon happy birthday with sweet pic from their camping trip
Reese Witherspoon's eldest son, Deacon Phillippe, turned 13 on Sunday, and the doting mom wished him a happy birthday via a sweet Instagram photo taken during their summer hiking trip in British Columbia.
The Academy Award winner captioned the adorable shot, "#HBD to my sweet boy Deacon on this special day! You are such a ray of sunshine in all of our lives. Your sense of humor, kindness, and joy never cease to amaze me!!! I [love] you! #13"

Witherspoon is not shy about showering her children with love and accolades via social media, posting another proud photo of Deacon from his 6th grade graduation last spring, in addition to a sweet family photo mere weeks ago in honor of youngest son Tennessee's fourth birthday.
The 40-year-old actress shares custody of her eldest children Deacon and Ava, 17, with ex Ryan Phillippe and has Tennessee with her husband, Jim Toth. The children often poke fun of their mom's Southern roots, Witherspoon noted in a recent interview with Today's Jenna Bush Hager.
"My kids do this whole thing where they make fun of me because I'll say, 'He did do, but he didn't done do. He done did that,'" she said. "They'll be like, 'What? Why are you [saying] 'did done?' They think it's hysterical."
The Sing actress also isn't afraid to embarrass her kids on occasion, telling ET, "I think I embarrass them terribly when I try to sing Drake songs. I don't stop singing. I enjoy it."

COUNCIL tax discounts for empty homes are to be scrapped while long-term empty properties will have to pay more from April 1, it has been announced.
Click the headline or link below to read the rest of this story.
Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council has used new powers from the Government to set discounts in a bid to free up empty homes.
Homes which are empty and unfurnished will no longer be freefor up to six months.
Homes undergoing structural or major repairs to make it liveable will no longer be free for up to 12 months. Other discounts will remain.
And homes that have met the above criteria for more than two years will have to pay an extra 50 per cent on the council tax bill.
The council also hopes the move will bring in extra cash to help it cope with a cut in Government cash support for council tax benefit of 10 per cent.
Council leader Ken Meeson said: "By removing certain council tax discounts for empty properties, we can not only offset the shortfall in funding but we can also get homes that might otherwise have fallen into disrepair or become the target of crime back into good use – this is very important for Solihull where the demand for homes is very high."
Those who get an empty property discount have been contacting and those facing "exceptional hardship" can apply to be exempt.

May 9, 2017 | Ericka & Jason
In front of very close family members and friends, Ericka and Jason got married at the Paradise Cove Luau Garden after getting ready at the Four Season's Resort in Kapolei, Hawaii. The pet-friendly Four Season's Resort was a plus because the couple really wanted their pet Pug, Mushoo, to be part of their special day. The ceremony took place during the sunset hour and their timing couldn't have been better because they enjoyed an amazing sunset during their formal portraits, then ended the night at Roy's Restaurant for dinner.

I think he's really cute! I used a washcloth for the body, Rick Rack for the teeth, a Red zipper for the mouth, and big googly eyes! I really hope they pick me! If they do I win over $1,000 worth of crafting supplies including a new sewing machine, quilting lessons, and tons of scrapbook paper! If I'm a finalist everyone needs to vote for me!!! I can't wait to find out! Wish me luck!!!
One of the best days of my life was the day that I learned I was going to become a mom. Since then my life has changed, for the better. Some days I'm stressed out and going crazy but most of the time it is one great adventure. Every time I hear the sound of my little ones pitter patter feet running down the hall, I know that whatever we are going to do it will be a joy! Part journal, part recipe book, part craft magazine, this blog is about the craziness that is motherhood.

$5 Challenge
On KSL (channel 5 in my neck of the woods) they are having a $5 Challenge. You have to make something while only spending $5 AND you have to use 1 item that you already have. Tricky Tricky! The first time I heard this I knew I had to take a short, since Monday I've been searching the web for inspiration and spraining my brain for something creative I could make. Then I found it! Money Munching Monster Coin Purses. I found the idea at Create One Day. I loved the idea but I had to dress it up a bit AND use something that I already had. This is what I came up with:
My Big Boy
I just had to share this great picture of my beautiful boy.
It was taken at my sister's Wedding Reception by her photographer.
I did the editing and I think he looks so handsome!

Taco Soup
I know! I know! It's been a LIFETIME since I've blogged so I thought I would get things moving with an amazing one. This is my recipe for Taco Soup. I got it a few years ago from the Paula Dean website. I'd just like to day I love her! If I could I would eat only her recipes but then I'd be 8,000 lbs and have no money. But anyways, I took her recipe and tweaked it to my liking. I love it and hope you love it too.
Add the Taco Mix and Ranch Mix.
Stir all the ingredients together. Cook on LOW for about 6 hours or HIGH for 3 hours (the longer the better).
This soup is good alone but it's even better with cheese, sour cream, and chips mixed in. Give it a try, I think you'll love it!
Taco Soup
- 1pound ground beef
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 can pinto beans
- 1 can kidney beans
- 1 can whole corn
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 can tomatoes with chilies
- 1 can black olives, drained, sliced
- 1 package taco mix
- 1 package ranch salad mix
Cook onion. Add ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned. Drain fat and put beef into a crock pot. Add beans, corn, diced tomatoes, and tomatoes with chilies. Make sure to use add all liquids, too. Drain olives and add. I use whole olives and slice them myself (I think you get more that way) but you can use the already sliced one instead but I would use two cans.
Add the Taco Mix and Ranch Mix.
Stir all the ingredients together. Cook on LOW for about 6 hours or HIGH for 3 hours (the longer the better).
This soup is good alone but it's even better with cheese, sour cream, and chips mixed in. Give it a try, I think you'll love it!

For some reason, I was very tired today, but I did manage to get the T-Shirt for Second Life to the first Testing stage.
It still needs quite a bit of tweaking; but at least there aren't any seams, and I finally figured out a method that works to accomplish that. Now all I have to do is remember exactly what I did, for the next time! :D
But, this is what it looks like so far.
I'll probably take out the heavily shaded fold on the left in the back, and I still need to do a bunch of work on the hem, and add more highlights, and all of that stuff. But it's looking fairly good. With any luck, I'll have some up to sell by the middle of this next week.
I wanted to make it unisex, which put quite a few constraints on the shading; but hey, that's a price I'm willing to pay.
So, that's it for me for today! There should be more progress to show tomorrow.

The August 28th issue of Science published an article by the Open Science Collaboration which found that the results of only 39% of psychology studies were reproducible. CTPC member Misha Pavel is one of 270 authors on this paper.
Reproducibility is a defining feature of science, but the extent to which it characterizes current research is unknown. We conducted replications of 100 experimental and correlational studies published in three psychology journals using high-powered designs and original materials when available. Replication effects were half the magnitude of original effects, representing a substantial decline. Ninety-seven percent of original studies had statistically significant results. Thirty-six percent of replications had statistically significant results; 47% of original effect sizes were in the 95% confidence interval of the replication effect size; 39% of effects were subjectively rated to have replicated the original result; and if no bias in original results is assumed, combining original and replication results left 68% with statistically significant effects. Correlational tests suggest that replication success was better predicted by the strength of original evidence than by characteristics of the original and replication teams.

Naughton has lost his job as an executive in Walt Disney Co.'s Internet empire and his .4-million Seattle house since his arrest three months ago on charges of using the Net to solicit sex from a minor. Naughton's defense centers on the premise that the Internet is a massive masquerade ball, and that he never expected to meet a minor in the sex-themed chat rooms he frequented.But he is mounting an unusual legal defense to make sure that he does not also lose his trial, which is scheduled to begin Tuesday in U. But prosecutors say he corresponded for months with an undercover FBI agent posing as a 13-year-old girl in a chat room devoted to adult men with sexual fetishes about underage females.
"This is what the Internet is all about--it's a virtual world of fantasy."It's a novel defense, and if it prevails, it would punch a significant hole in what has been an almost foolproof sting technique for the FBI, which claims a 99% conviction rate in hundreds of similar cases.
But legal experts say that Naughton's strategy is as uncertain as it is original."The premise of the argument is accurate," said Peter Arenella, a former defense attorney and a law professor at UCLA.
"Many people do use chat rooms for pure fantasy and lie constantly about everything."But I think it's going to be a tough sell.
The problem is that he engaged in more than fantasy life on the Net.
FBI agents say they found hundreds of pornographic images on the laptop computer he brought with him to Santa Monica, including at least nine that authorities consider child pornography.
Naughton's attorneys said they will try to deflect that charge by arguing that the images may have been placed on Naughton's computer without his knowledge. at any moment in time you could be arrested and charged with [possession of] child pornography."That is technically accurate, but legal experts said it may be difficult to convince a jury that Naughton--a technology whiz--would be careless or clumsy enough to keep such illegal material on his laptop.Because of the technological workings of Internet chat rooms, Marks said last week, "it's possible you receive images even if you don't want them.""Unless you're deleting them . Overall, Naughton faces three felony counts, including possession of child porn and engaging in interstate travel with intent to have sex with a minor. Naughton was part of the team at Sun Microsystems Inc. He went on to hold senior positions at Starwave Corp.He went to Santa Monica to meet a human being."Naughton's lawyers say that, if anything, he expected to meet an adult at the pier that evening, and that it is common for adults to lie about their gender and age in sex chat rooms.But prosecutors say that during months of online correspondence, Naughton gave every indication that he was serious about setting up a sexual encounter with a minor.According to transcripts of online conversations, Naughton, 34, told undercover agents posing as teen girls that "he was not pretending at all," and that he had "been with" teenage girls before.Naughton, who went by the screen name "Hotseattle," is also accused of possession of child pornography.

Pockets and All-in-Ones
This style of diaper most resembles a disposable diaper. There is an outer waterproof layer and a inner soft fabric layer. The least expensive of the two are pockets, where you insert an absorbent pad between the two layers. An all-in-one has the pads connected to the diaper and do not require stuffing. This style is usually more expensive. You may read online that diapers from China are not as good and do not compare to name brand diapers. Often these blogs are sponsored by said name brand companies who are only looking out for their bottom line. If you are on a budget spending $25-30 a diaper is too much. Don't be afraid to look into more affordable brands such as Alva or Happy Flute. Depending on where you purchase them they can be bought for $5-15. Also they are very durable and have outlasted the name brand diapers that I have. Not to mention that most of these American diapers are made overseas and just have a label with their company logo. Click on the photo for a quick video.
Diaper Covers
These are very similar to pocket diapers in shape and style. The main difference is that there in no inside layer. All you have is the waterproof shell. This is a very economical way to cloth diaper. Unlike pockets and all-in-ones you do not have to change the shell every time. Thus cutting down on how many you need to purchase and wash. They can be stuffed with many affordable options which are covered below. Click photo for a quick video. ****This video is brand specific but it provides a very good tutorial of how to stuff a diaper cover.
T-Shirt Diapers
This probably the most affordable way to cloth diaper. 100% Cotton t-shirts are very absorbent and make great diapers. And the best part is you probably have several old t-shirts laying around which equals FREE! Now the t-shirt will still need a cover as mentioned above to make it waterproof. Click photo for a quick video. ***This video mentions the use of a snappi which hold the diaper in place, but you do not need too use this
When most people think of a cloth diapers a prefold is usually what comes to mind. Its the traditional cloth diaper of the old days. But it still works just as good as the new designs. They can be folded numerous ways for the perfect fit. They are also very inexpensive, running about $20 a dozen. They can be worn traditionally or folded and stuffed into a pocket or a cover. Please take note natural fiber diapers must be prewashed and dried on high or prepped before use Click photo for a quick video.
Flour Sack Towels
Flour sack towels function pretty much the same as prefolds. The advantages to this would be price and that they are easier for some people to fold. FST run about half the price of prefolds and are more readily available. They can be found at your local Walmart. Or you could 100% cotton FST fabric at Joann Fabric, get the coupon from their website and save even more money. Like all natural fiber diapers they must be 'prepped' or washed and dried several times before the first use to get maximum absorbency. Click the photo for a quick video. ** Watch the receiving blanket video for another folding style.
Receiving Blankets
Yet another item laying around the house that can be used to diaper your child. Yay FREE! Or they can be purchased for $1-2 a piece. They function the same way as Flour Sack Towels and they have cute prints on them. Click the photo for a quick video. **The methods used in the FST video ans the receiving blanket video are interchange able.
Wool and Fleece Diaper covers
Sometimes things seem too good to be true. When I heard you can use fleece blankets and old sweater as diaper cover I didn't believe it. I have tried both and was pleasantly surprised. Wool is very absorbent and doesn't need washed very often. It is great for heavy wetters and for overnight. Fleece works well but isn't as absorbent as wool. So change fleece more often to keep your covers fresh and from getting leaks. Again that word FREE pops up. You may already have these items in your home. Just make sure any sweater you use is at least 70% wool. Click photo for a quick video. ***This video specifically refers to fleece but wool cover can be made the same way.
