Forgiveness can be one of the toughest—and most freeing—acts we can perform in life. But finding forgiveness is not as easy as it sounds. I once knew a woman I will call Susan. She suffered greatly regarding her relationship with her mother. The relationship had not been easy ever since she could remember. Her mother suffered from depression and alcoholism, and often took out her anger on Susan throughout her childhood. Sadly, Susan quickly became an expert at covering up what was really going on inside her family home in front of her friends, co-workers, and acquaintances.
After Susan left home at age eighteen, her mother's downward spiral continued. The relationship was agonizing for Susan. Her mother would call her at all hours of the night, threatening suicide and sobbing into the phone. The reality was that Susan's mother was simply incapable of living up to her title. Finally after Susan married and had her own children, one day she just didn't pick up the phone to call her mother. Her mother never called either. There was never an argument or a cross word. Everything just stopped.
As a day turned into two and then many more, Susan focused on creating healthy relationships with her children and raising them the way she wished she had been raised. As time ticked away, Susan found it was easier to be angry with her mother than to be burdened by the sadness that accompanied the loss of what was always an unhealthy relationship. Well-meaning people suggested that Susan forgive her mother. But Susan was not ready. She knew forgiveness was a personal decision. She also realized that she did not make a conscious choice to terminate the relationship and still held out hope that her mother would one day evaluate her behavior and reach out to make amends.
Eighteen years passed. Through family connections, Susan learned her mother had moved to another state where she seemed to finally find happiness. Although the rejection hurt deeply, Susan had come to accept that this was the reality of her life. Then one day last November, Susan received a phone call that her mother had passed away without warning. And with that phone call, all hope was erased for reconciliation or a heartfelt apology. As Susan attempted to grapple with her pain, she set out on a lonely journey of grief. While the heartache came in waves, the anger visited less often. After months passed, Susan finally decided she was ready. She wrote her mother a heartfelt letter. Then she headed to a remote cabin with her husband. One night as dusk was falling and a fire roared in the fire pit outside the cabin, Susan read the letter aloud. She would say later that she felt her mother by her side. In the letter, she told her mother she had forgiven her. That she understood. And that she was sorry that they couldn't have had the mother/daughter relationship they both deserved. Then she tossed the letter into the fire and let it all go.
Today as Susan looks back, she doesn't have any regrets. She found a way to forgive and heal in her own way and in her own time. She feels at peace.
I know because Susan is me.
Forgiveness comes in its own time. It also comes with the valuable lesson that our world is full of imperfect people—even family members—who sometimes hurt us deeply. But it is possible to move past the pain and anger and find a place where you feel compassion for the person who has hurt you, just as I did. For years I wished I had a different mother. But now I realize that because of her, I am who I am today. And for that, I am truly grateful.
"True forgiveness is when you can say, 'Thank you for that experience.'" —Oprah Winfrey

There is no Global Recession in sight, "says Professor Nouriel Roubini
What would be the effects of Trump's protectionist policy for Colombia?
The effects will be seen mainly in the markets of Tlcan (with Mexico and Canada) and with China, which is the monster of exports, and with Europe, but I do not think there are any direct implications on trade blocks against Colombia. However, the risk for Colombia is that, precisely, the level of global growth will be lower because trade is going to be reduced on the global scale.
If this happens, there may also be 'wars' in international trade where tariff barriers can be imposed, and that is going to hit global trade, which in turn affects the growth of all and, therefore, could hit the country In their economic performance.
Nouriel Roubini is an American professor of Economics at New York University`s Stern School of Business and chairman of RGE Roubini Global Economics

Not Easy Listening
We hear the deep section of Jonathan's conversation with Delvyn Case, composer, conductor, and Associate Professor of Music at Wheaton College (Norton, MA).
In this conversation, Delvyn and Jonathan talk about the nature of the arts in the religious arena. Both Del and Jonathan feel that the arts are not necessarily meant to be a salve for people speaking to the lowest common denominator of experience, but something that can offer a depth of experience drawing the individual into more profound truth wherein one may encounter the divine. The arts can be beautiful and pretty and easy to listen to, but should not always feel this way. There are times when we are in the hell and the pain of our life and want to have a mouthpiece through which we can expand our articulation of our pain and pathos. This can be a potent way in which the arts can be experienced.
We have the opportunity to listen to all of Delvyn's Perichoresis for Brass Quintet, and a selection of Tenebrae factae sunt and de Chirico's Dream
Go to Delvyn's website to listen to full versions of his works as well as other things that he has composed (like Rocket Sleigh).
Again, thanks for listening. Check out the website: www.twelveenough.com Send your comments and questions to email@example.com, and don't forget to rate the show on iTunes.

text: NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Treasurys rose modestly early Monday, with yields heading down, before a report that is expected to say manufacturing contracted again in October. Two-year note yields TMUBMUSD02Y, -3.50% fell 9 basis points to 1.49%. Investors were also focused on recession fears after Jeffrey Lacker, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, said the government's response to the credit crisis may have added volatility to financial-asset markets that were already roiled by an increasingly uncertain growth outlook," he said in Jerusalem. Treasurys also may remain bid before a report on Friday that economists surveyed by MarketWatch expect to show the economy lost 200,000 jobs in October, the biggest drop since March 2003.

Hazelnut crusted Lemon Tart
With an avalanche of One hundred and thirty seven lemons threatening to bury my kitchen, June 2015 may well morph into the month of the lemon around here. I've been thinking of all those lovely lemony things I can do, favourites like my sticky lemon cake, lemon meringue pie and lemon curd high on the list, closely followed by preserved lemons out of both curiosity ( I've never made them or eaten them before) and practicality, body scrubs and cleaning products all flooding my mind it's been hard to know where to start. There were grand plans of the Monday holiday being a baking day, but the gas ran out (because of course it did), severely limiting my capabilities.
Fortunately before the gas was gone I'd gotten this delicious creation out of my mind and onto our plates.
As I almost always attempt to I've kept this one as simple as possible, stealing (& modifying) the base from my dairy-free Quince Cheesecake.
The rich toasty hazelnut tones lend a comforting biscuit like texture wrapping around the perfect combination of a custardy coconut and lemon filling, making this a blissful treat to share for afternoon tea on these cold winter afternoons.
One hundred and thirty three lemons to go!
- 80 grams Hazelnut meal
- 110 grams Plain Flour
- 50 grams Raw Sugar
- 90 grams Nuttelex
- 125 ml Lemon Juice
- 5 Eggs
- 150 grams Raw Sugar
- 125 ml Coconut Cream
Preheat oven to 150c
Place all dry ingredients for crust into bowl, melt nuttelex and stir through.
Turn into rectangular flan tin and push into bottom and sides to form crust.
Bake in oven for 15 minutes or until lightly golden brown, remove from oven and set aside.
Prepare filling.
Over low heat in a medium saucepan place lemon juice and raw sugar, stir until sugar has dissolved.
Whisk eggs and slowly pour into lemon juice / sugar, stirring as you combine.
Next add coconut cream and heat, while stirring, until warm.
Pour into prepared crust and return to oven for 25 minutes or until just firm.
Remove from oven and allow to cool fully before removing from tin.
Sprinkle with icing sugar if desired.
Best served:
Cooled and cut into pretty little wedges, back to the afternoon sun streaming in through the window warming your cold winter bones.

What do 'Hamilton' and 'School House Rock!' have in common?/
I recently picked up Thomas Fleming's book Duel at a kiosk in Boston's historic Fanueil Hall. As I read its account of the parallel lives of Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr, I found that I already knew many of the details of their lives and their relationship. That's because my husband, daughter and I have been listening to the soundtrack of the smash Broadway production Hamilton (and also yearning to see it live). With its compelling rhythms, lush melodies and clever rhymes, Lin-Manuel Miranda's musical makes the facts of Hamilton's life easy to remember:
- That he was "a bastard, orphan, son of a whore and a Scotsman dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot in the Caribbean."
- That the Federalist papers were a series of essays defending the new United States Constitution. And Hamilton wrote 51 of these 85 essays.
- That Hamilton's wife Eliza raised money for the Washington monument and began the first private orphanage in New York City in her husband's honor.
This reminds me of "School House Rock!," the fabulous Saturday-morning television series of animated shorts that used music to help children remember lessons about grammar ("Conjunction Junction"), math ("Three is the Magic Number") and social studies ("I'm Just a Bill"). The show aired on ABC-TV from 1973 to 1985 and again from 1993 to 1999.
Music has the ability to enhance memory for facts and figures. As linguists would say, rhythm and melody help to "chunk" information for recall. We learn our ABCs much younger than we learn our numbers because there is a song for one and not the other. The song helps us organize the letters in chunks of 3, 4 and 5: ABCD EFG HIJK LMNOP QRS TUV WXYZ.
Years ago, I did research for the Metropolitan Opera on the creation of original operas in schools. Children from kindergarten through high school collaborated on these productions based on their curriculum. In Brooklyn, I observed a fourth-grade production on "New York City Moments." It imagined conversations about building and celebrating the Brooklyn Bridge. Facts and figures were embedded into songs and the dialogue that framed the songs. I would wager that if I could locate those children today, their recall of all this information would be just as their teachers hoped it would be: as solid as that bridge. They could engage in a discussion about it, answer questions about it in a trivia contest and consider its rightful place in the history of their city. If I were to interview those same students about other history lessons, not organized into original arts productions, I would further wager that those facts and figures would have waned with time – not because they were less interesting but because there was no music to facilitate its recall. I hypothesize this would be true even if the students had given equal study time to each topic.
Advertisers keenly understand the power of music and memory in promoting products. I have yet to meet someone who has bought products from the national Empire Carpet chain. And in New England – one region where the company advertises – I have yet to meet someone who does not know the company's phone number, featured in its musical advertising tag: "800-588-2300, Empire!"
Music is a powerful asset in memory. In music therapy, we use music to promote healthy memory functioning. Children with Down's syndrome might learn to tie their shoes because of a song that instructs them of the sequence. An adult with a brain injury might relearn biographical information in a song, such as address and phone number. And the act of singing may do more than enhance recall. It builds up brain structures related to the process of memory storage and retrieval. That can help a person learn both new and old information. Therapeutically, music is used as a brain-based treatment for a brain-based skill, such as memory, speech or language.
The next time you need to remember something important, take a cue from Hamilton and School House Rock: set it to a song and feel the power.

No parking brake needed as Chelsea, Atletico meet at Stamford Bridge
Expect the bus to be put into gear Wednesday at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea host Atletico Madrid in a critical Champions League semifinal second leg (live, FOX Sports 1, Wednesday, 2 p.m. ET) with all to play for after a grim 0-0 first leg draw. It's an easy calculus for both sides: they must score.
Last week's game at the Calderon was widely panned both on tactical grounds and as spectacle. Jose Mourinho reverted to form, playing a destructive game that left Atletico to take pot-shots from range instead of going at the Spaniards straight-up. It was predictable, but it proved to be curious in the end. Chelsea have proven themselves to masterful at containing teams, illustrated best in their textbook demolition of Liverpool on the weekend to throw the Barclays Premier League title chase into chaos, but it was apparent after just 15 minutes in Madrid that this Atletico team, who have swept opponents off the pitch, was eminently beatable. The home side looked jangled by nerves, and manager Digeo Simeone had made a miscalculation in starting Diego Ribas. Despite Chelsea giving him thirty yards or more of space to run at the backline, Diego never looked capable of unlocking their back line.
As a result, it was strange that Mourinho didn't shift on the fly, bringing in the unorthodox but potent Demba Ba and trying to steal an away goal. It was telling after the match that Mourinho faced accusations from the Spanish media of lacking guts — his prickly relationship with them has not improved (to the point where he had Spanish questions translated into English for him to answer, then his responses back into Spanish, by a rather flustered young woman) but they did have a point.
But Mourinho is nothing if not pragmatic, a point he emphasized in talking up his opponents.
"They are a good side, they defend well and they score goals," he said Tuesday. "They win matches, they are in the Champions League semifinals and they are almost Spanish champions. I have respect for what they are doing."
"This is a knockout game, and maybe one goal will decide it," continued Mourinho. "It's is a game of details. The players are more important than the manager, but I trust them and that helps me."
Chelsea will look to their fortress at home, where they have lost but one game overall during Mourinho's tenure. They will be without the suspended John Obi Mikel and Frank Lampard, but got a boost with the news that Peter Cech, John Terry, Samuel Eto'o and Eden Hazard all trained Tuesday. The injured quartet, with Cech's inclusion, will surely help Chelsea's chances come Wednesday.
Cech rarely looked like he could move freely at that practice and the expectation is that he will need surgery on the arm, handing another start to his capable backup Mark Schwarzer. The other three looked good in training, with Eto'o particularly sharp after shaking off a lingering knee problem, and their return is a coup for the side. Branislav Ivanovic, suspended for the first leg, is also expected to retake his spot meaning that Ashley Cole, who was outstanding on the weekend, may be sacrificed.
"Hazard is ready," said Mourinho, though he declined to say if the PFA's young player of the year would start.
But even with Hazard and Eto'o back, a disturbing lack of bite surrounds this Chelsea side. It is true in Madrid that the Blues rarely tried to go for goal, dangling the badly faded Fernando Torres out front like an air freshener in a taxi cab, to about the same effect. While Andre Schurrle has often been the tonic, working well with Willian and Hazard to form a vital link between the heart of the park and the strike-force, Chelsea's lack of an orthodox striker has made for some nervy finishes. Indeed, against PSG, it took Ba's scrabbling a late goal across the line to send the Blues through on the away goals rule. It often feels like Chelsea are waiting for their opponents to slip up — a point not lost on Atletico.
"Chelsea expect their opponents to make mistakes, so they can take advantage," said Atletico's Mario Suarez Tuesday. "We expect the same Chelsea as in the Calderon — although they will probably attack a little more."
Atletico, despite looking off-key last week, can damage you. Diego Costa is a striker whom many in England covet and Arda Turan looked very dangerous when he came on at the hour mark. Should that duo start, it could be a very different-looking Atletico side indeed. However, Gabi is out suspended, a damaging blow given his grace and steerage of this side.
But there is a sense around Madrid's second team that they have a unique chance, and they do not seemed cowed at all.
"You cannot compare a team who two years ago were champions, against someone going for a first final in forty years," said Atletico manager Diego Simeone Tuesday. "This is just a football game. But the best team will win and enthusiasm and spirit are more important than history or what happened before."

How I Grade Beer, Part 1: Where I'm Coming From as a Beer Reviewer
Having just celebrated the three-year anniversary of Chad'z Beer Reviews, it occurred to me that I don't have a video explaining my rationale or criteria as to how I grade beer, or where I'm coming from as a beer reviewer. I shouldn't just assume that everyone who watches every review of mine knows who I am and what my experience and "credentials" are to be a BeerTuber, or what I consider good or bad tasting. So hopefully this video will clue you in on some of that.

This Week in Kickstarter: Where They Are Now
Share this post
Last spring, filmmaker Alison Klayman launched a project to raise finishing funds for a documentary she was making about the Chinese activist and artist, Ai Weiwei. The course of her project witnessed much more than funding success, though — as world events, including the Beijing Olympics, saw the world turn an increasingly inquisitive eye on China, Ai Weiwei's profile as an outspoken dissident skyrocketed, and awareness of the film rose in tandem. Today, bolstered by a warmly received premiere at Sundance, the completed documentary opens at theaters all across the country. Early acclaim is high, with the pictures deemed a critic's pick by New York Magazine, an A by Entertainment Weekly, and "stark, beautiful, haunting" by the New York Times.A full listing of showtimes and theaters is available on her site.
Klayman's film joins a slew of other Kickstarter projects making exciting strides in the real world this week. Read on!
In October of 2009, indie animator Vance Reeser came to Kickstarter to fund his passion project: a short animated film called Lake Beast about a man haunted by the strange, glowing face he once glimpsed in the bottom of a polluted lake. After keeping backers continually updated for three years, and premiering the film exclusively to them, he's released it for the whole wide world to enjoy, for free. Notably endearing, from a post this summer: "I'm ecstatic right now. Nearly 3 years after I initially storyboarded and pitched this project to a then-new company called Kickstarter, asking if they'd let me use their site, it is finished!"
Ted Rall, the adamantly independent, self-described "comics journalist," raised funds to travel to Afghanistan in April of 2010. He would travel the country, reporting back in the form of comics uploaded on a regular basis to his website. Today, you can see those comics here. And in the coming year, Farrar, Straus & Giroux will be publishing them in a book.
Two years ago, Henry O. Owings, the no-holds-barred editor of music magazine Chunklet, used Kickstarter to fund "a broadly written and obsessively crafted multi-faceted standardized exam to pick apart the reader and underground culture in general." He called it The Indie Cred Test, and after a successfully run project, it was released to skeptical hipsters worldwide by Penguin. (After they bought a copy off his site.) Now, it's about to be reprinted.
Another from way back in the day (June, 2010 to be exact), photographer Rachel Sussman raised funds to complete her book, The Oldest Living Things in the World. Already five years in the making at the time of project launch, the wildly ambitious endeavor called for her travel the world, finding and photographing continuously living organisms that were 2,000 years or older. With 25 under her belt, she needed the funds to find and photograph ten more, including a banyan tree aged 2,300 and 100,000 year old Spanish clonal sea grass. A few days ago, she announced that the completed book had found a publisher:
In the winter of 2009, a little design studio called Lumi Co. launched a project centered around a new textile printing technology they were developing out of their LA-based loft. They raised just over $13,000 — enough to start printing their custom-designed coasters and wallets and open their doors to collaborators. They stayed in touch with backers, sharing big news (like cover stories and appearances in ABC Carpet & Home), and just a few months ago, they launched their second project. This time around, they're crafting a line of home-dye kits that are can be developed using nothing but all natural sunshine. Enthusiastic backers have flocked, to the tune of over $235,000 in funding so far.

I will recommend your faculty over and over again
Written by Erica Molenaar | East Berne, NY Hospital: Capital District Veterinary Referral Hospital
I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to your office. My poor dog developed an abscess on her front paw which was causing her a lot of pain from all the swelling. We did have a wait but it was completely understandable seeing how dogs were being brought in that were in accidents and needed help ASAP. As soon as we were brought back Dr. R Hannum was very pleasant. She examined Mini and explained what the steps to helping her would be. She was very gentle and made me feel comfortable having Mini in her hands. She also brought Kelly, I think that was her name, back who was very helpful holding my dog while she took care of her foot.
I will recommend your faculty over and over again. The care the staff showed to each patient when they were in the waiting room was very refreshing. You do not receive that kind of care usually, especially on a busy Sunday night.
Thank you again!

Jim Crow's Tears - mp3 download
Jim Crow's Tears - mp3 download
Jim Crow's Tears allows you a glimpse into a tortured soul. From slavery with its dehumanization to Minstrel Shows and its degradation, this musical transports you back in time when finding one's autonomy was an anomaly. It will make you cry. It will make you angry. It will make you laugh. Mostly, it will make you think.
This album takes all the negative stereotypes forced upon a people, blows them up and exposes their absurdity. It speaks to the mistreatment of a people who helped to build a nation, only to be discarded socially and legally generation after generation.
Through one man's tears you will be enlightened to the struggle. You will be hopeful for the future. You will be grateful for him and the progress made. You will be educated on work still to come, and how people are still contributing to the problem. Come along this journey with Kris Johnson and experience Jim Crow's Tears.

You absolutely positively have to listen to this (the first song in the video below). I'm serious.
It's one of those, and I'm pretty much positive that it will make your life better the moment you press play. You could even just listen to the first twenty seconds though that will likely be impossible because I imagine once you get started you probably will want to hear the whole song.
It's Enrique Morente and his daughter Estrella singing a colombianas.
First the letra:
Una rosa en un rosal
gasta mucha fantasía
viene el viento y la deshoja
ya está la rosa perdida
A rose in a rosebush
is full of fantasy
The wind comes and pulls its petals off
and the rose is lost
And now that video:
You can hear another version of him singing it here.
Stay tuned next week for a rumba and a report about how I learned it from my nieces.
P.S. This month of January will be a month featuring cantes de ida y vuelta.
The Flamenco Tour to Jerez happens soon. Care to join me?

HotMalm.com is a parody of a typical porn site, dedicated entirely to IKEA's top-selling Malm bed series. Its content actually only features furniture and links not to any racy videos, but directly to IKEA's company site. Naturally HotMalm.com is available in English and Swedish.
The site features everything you'd expect to find on any porn site. From categories like "Teen Malms," "Ebony Malms," and "Hot Animal-on-Malm Action," to live webcam chats with Hot Malms, and even an onslaught of banner ads that promote everything from "Hot Malms In Your Area" to "lessons on how to screw."
The website took off the second it went live with over 700,000 unique views and a social reach of over 6 million impressions in its first week.

Some Advice for Overseas
If you haven't heard the country of Greece has a debt crisis. So Greece in an effort to pay back their loans is trying to cut spending. I say to Greece, "Why?" Be like the million of Americans and just default. What's the worst that could happen? Will Greece's wages be garnished? Of course not no one works to have wages to be garnished. You can't put a whole country in debtors prison. Are some bond holders going to reposses your car? No, they didn't lend you money to buy a car. Greece, just go on as if nothing happened. And don't answer the phone when you get a call from a number you don't recogonize or a "restricted number" don't answer. It's been working for college students for generations why not for one of the oldest civilizations in the world?

When we first laid eyes on "Daisy," she was hardly ready to come with us. She did not know that her scent, her skin, her eyes, her clothes were weighed down by years of neglect and mistreatment. She was young—just nine years old—yet somehow aged with bravery and filled with memories we would soon learn. As she drew near to us and we drew near to her, layers of fear and exhaustion shed. We gave her a long, warm bath, where the dirt of world she had known swirled down the drain. The hope of something different wrapped around her as we dressed her with fresh clothes bought just for her. She was beginning to awaken to the reality that there was another sort of love out there in the world: a sort of love that she could have for her own.
We took her clothes and tattered shoes, which were hardly recognizable as such, and could do nothing with them but throw them into the furnace. Although we knew it would be much harder to burn away the years of brutality, neglect, and abuse, we prayed that this was a rescue that would change this little girl forever.
As the months since meeting Daisy have passed, she has begun to find her place in her new family. Though memories of her former life tap on her shoulder from time to time, we continue to remind ourselves of the day we found her, scared and ragged. If the Lord could rescue her from that place, we are confident that He will not stop rescuing and healing her.

If your bills have been piling up, or a creditor's records mistakenly indicate that you have a bill in collections you should investigate and resolve the issue with due haste. It is essential for you to understand the nature of the bill and validate whether you, in fact, actually owe the debt. There are rare instances where consumer debt has been misreported to a collection agency. Having any kind of debt on your credit report can be very detrimental to your ability to get credit and the type of rates you receive for that credit. While it is best to avoid them, if you already have collections reported on your credit report, there are a few things you should know.
What is debt collection?
A debt collection can result from a debt that has not been paid on time. If you become significantly ill , such as a medical bill or credit card bill, the original company owed will often write off this debt as a loss and sell it to a collection agency. The collection agency will then attempt to recover the money owed.
While different creditors and lenders have different policies, many credit card accounts are sent to a collection agency after 180 days of non-payment. Either the original creditor or the collection agency may report the account in collections to a credit bureau, resulting in the account being marked on your report with a "collection" status. You will not necessarily be notified by the original creditor that your account is being sent to collections.
If an account in collections is reported on your TransUnion or Equifax credit report, you can access your full report or the collections page to view details about any reported accounts. (You'll only see the collections page if open or closed collections accounts have recently been included on your report.)
What does it mean for my credit?
If you have an account reported as in collections, your credit score may drop by a substantial amount. The degree to which a collection hurts your credit score is generally correlated with how high your credit score is when the collection agency reports the debt. The higher your score, the more points you can lose.
In addition, the amount of damage to your credit score may be affected by the collection amount, or how much you owe. For example, if the original debt you owed was less than $100, the resulting account in collections may show up on your credit report but it may not significantly hurt your credit score or even hurt it at all. Some credit scoring models may also differentiate between types of debt, such as medical versus non-medical, or disregard accounts in collections that have been paid.
The resulting credit score drop from having an account in collections can impact your future financial plans. It may cause you to be denied for credit cards and loans, especially if the collection is recent or remains unpaid (or both).

There's an aoura about montauk, ny. Sure, the summer crowds cloud its true personality. But, between the select few whom all stick together in ruling Ditch and the pointbreak-littered beaches, the most eastern point of Long Island is still alive as it used to be before the citiots took over.
I'm sitting now at the premier of our friend Mikey DeTemple's new film Sight | Sound. The parking lot is not lined with BMWs with softtops strapped to the hood. Instead there is an eclectic group of vintage station wagons and surf buggys. As we watch Kassia slide across a Maine peeler, the audience can relate. We all love surfing.
I may seem to be going off on a tangent and rambling on, however, I guess the point of this is to note that even in the biggest hell-hole of kooks, the real surfers find eachother and connect. And that is certainly noteworthy.
Let's connect.

Remember when your mom told you not to take candy from strangers? She knew that candy was what strangers used to lure kids into their cars and drive away with them... and she also knew how our stupid candy seeking minds worked. We'd do anything for candy. We didn't care about the consequences.
Well, security is the new stranger candy.
Jack everything I see and do on the net in exchange for "security." No thanks.

We all wear a mask
we all have a monster within
we are all in hiding.
I knew you well enough
to know where this is going
to understand your choices
and to trust your capabilities.
I understand your motives well.
I can't say I'm not worried
but I can't deny the benefit it would bring.
You can't hold it back in forever, my friend.
But I know better than to constantly worry about you.
I will put my faith in you.

Demon Souls developer From Software's latest project, codenamed Project Beast, may have had an accidental leak of gameplay footage if this post from NeoGAF is anything to go on.
The clip, which runs at just 20 seconds, shows some gameplay of the playable character fighting his way through hordes of enemies using a shotgun of some sorts. The play style seems very similar to that of the developer's fan favorites Demon Souls or Dark Souls so I'd suspect similar difficulty and the word "Souls" in the title.
From Software or Sony have not commented on the leaked footage but hopefully we will see more at this year's E3.

APPLYING CHOREOGRAPHIC TOOLS IN ORGANIZATIONAL CHART ATELIER · By Ulrike Kuner
The Atelier at Kino Šiška in Ljubljana was conducted by Nina Božič Yams and Dejan Srhoj, both with a strong background in dance and performance.
Nina moved to Sweden and is currently working at the University in Mälardalen in the field innovation. Furthermore, she is preparing a big project with the employees of a mid-scale city in the south of Sweden.
Dejan is working as a dancer, dance teacher and choreographer in Slovenia and is still living in Ljubljana. In fact of being such different characters, Nina and Dejan complement one another and therefore they define the Atelier with a strong personal frame and setting.
All participants of this workshop are having a background in the dance or theatre domain and are all coming from different European countries, as well as from different dance and theatre institutions. Each one of them is representing a diverse position or job in this field. This interesting mixture gave the participants the possibility, to share their professional and personal background, as well as their experiences, what they frankly enjoyed. Surprisingly for all of us, they do not differ from one another quite much.
Nina and Dejan were excellent moderators of this event. The methodology they shared with us in those 2,5 days has been truly effective and understandable. After this Atelier, everyone felt enlightened, enriched and strengthened in what they are doing.
Nina and Dejan developed a very clever approach with the aim to equip employees with some choreographic tools in order to enable decision- and working processes in their innovation and/or business contexts. Similar to the creative processes of a choreographer, those tools are defined as "body", "time", "composition" and "space" (corresponding to the process stages "exploration", "reflection", "sharing" and "tuning-in").
We explored those tools in different exercises, in which we were constantly reflecting our perception and shared our experiences in different kind of groups.
In summary, we all felt unbelievably inspired and got an amazing opportunity to reflect our daily business and behaviours with each other. We are thankful to Nina and Dejan, offering us this wonderful opportunity to develop our skills and widen out our personal horizons while using artistic methods in daily practices.

Next to the lithe X100s, the camera you see above is chunky, heavy, and in many ways, a woeful backward piece of technology. But then again, Leica's 35mm cameras do not pretend to the tech throne.
Nor do they make retro for retro's sake. They make beautiful, iterative designs, that focus first on utility, then on technology. The M is a well thought-out device that takes pictures, keeps menus simple, and does away with the ridiculous electronic noise and clackety clacks which are part and parcel to every other digital camera.
Only Leica would dare make the M. And the M is a very welcoming entry into the world of digital Leicas.
The 35mm on its nose is Canon's classic 'Japanese Summilux', a speedy devil that weighs about 180g, and takes odd 48mm filters. It's got the awkward infinity lock, a 180º focus throw, and flare galore. It shoots very much like my favourite compact 35, the Canon 35/2 LTM, aka 'Japanese Summicron'.
Unfortunately, while Leica still make high quality mechanical objects, Canon no longer do. But the Japanese Summilux, and the M, are beautiful together. In the next few weeks, I'll show how they also are a beautiful shooting couple. Later, I shall pit the Canon 35 against the Fujifilm XF 35 in a match to the X-T1. That should hit Fujirumors in the same manner my review of the Novoflex BALPRO T/S has.

Thompson Chain-Reference Study Bible NKJV
A more modern version of an old favorite. Ideal for study, teaching, personal reading, and congregational use.
The beauty and accuracy of the KJV, in a contemporary, readable language. The New King James Version offers precision and clarity without sacrificing readability. Commissioned in 1975 by Thomas Nelson Publishers, 130 respected Bible scholars, church leaders, and lay Christians worked for seven years to create a completely new, modern translation of Scripture, yet one that would retain the purity and stylistic beauty of the original King James. With unyielding faithfulness to the original Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic texts, the translators applied the most recent research in archaeology, linguistics, and textual studies. The result is a Bible that is both beautifully worded and trustworthy. No wonder the NKJV over the last several years has consistently been the fastest-growing translation of the complete Bible.

After the bye week , the NFL made us wait an extra day before getting back to Steeler Football. I have a feeling it will be worth the wait. Normally, the bye week is useful this late in the season because it helps injured players get back on the field. Unfortunately, that isn't the case for the Steelers. Our D will be missing 4 starters tonight. Aaron Smith we know won't be playing for the rest of the season. However, we weren't certain about his replacement, Travis Kirschke. It now looks like he won't be playing along with Lawrence Timmons and Ryan Clark. The bye helped one defensive player get back to near full strength, Troy Polamalu. Luckily for the Steelers, the Broncos offensive is not their strength. Hood, Eason and Sonny Harris will fill in the spot emptied by Smith and Kirschke and Keyron Fox takes over for Timmons. He has played well this season, especially his key pick six against Minnesota. Tyrone Carter will take Clark's spot.
Clark is an interesting story. The Steelers have been playing games all week, saying he might play but anyone who is familiar with what happened the last time the Steelers were in Denver, realizes there is no way he suits up tonight. On our last visit to Mile High, Clark, who suffers from sickle cell anemia, which was aggravated by the high altitude, had to have his spleen removed, lost 30 pounds and missed the remainder of the season (and nearly died). Clark has been practicing all week with the team. Officially there has not been any word from the Steelers regarding his status for the game tonight. It seems like, Clark really wants to play in this game, but ultimately the decision will be made by Coach Tomlin. I doubt that he would risk the life of one of his players for one regular season game. Ty Carter is a decent back up and I think his style of play is much more suited for filling in for Ryan Clark than it was for filling in for Troy.
Two Steezbros will be at the game tonight so check back for pictures and stories tomorrow. Sorry you can't join us Alex, we will miss you.

Trying to finish up my move, I brought a ton of stuff over to the local Santa Clara Goodwill store / donation center. I was surprised by a few things and finally left wondering how Goodwill can use the web to improve their service and increase their output.
First, the store / donation center was *packed* (mind you it was a Saturday). There were not enough people working at either the store or the donations center to meet the demand.
Second, the quality of donations (obviously) varied drastically. Even within my donations. For example, I donated close to 30 shirts. Some were $5 t-shirts and others were barely worn polo shirts.
So I am left wondering the following: How do they price their donations for sale considering 1) the overwhelming number of items, 2) the underwhelming number of employees, and 3) the significant variance in goods pricing?
I imagine they will struggle to determine the appropriate value for my Polo shirts vs. my t-shirts... and will probably suffer in terms of 'revenue' generated for the organization. From my experience as an eBay employee and seller (200+ feedback), pricing goods in critically important to determining the ability to sell an item quickly and its final value.
Now I have no idea if Goodwill uses software or applications to monitor inventory and determine / move pricing, but there are openings here to leverage work done through other sites with relevant data points - and if a killer app was built, it would has implications far beyond Goodwill's use (think eBay sellers, Craiglist users, and so on):
- eBay's APIs can reveal fair-market pricing for items. I would most likely pull the average price for a brand (not a specific item), include the word used and sell at a marked deduction (say 20%). If it doesn't sell in a week, automatically reduce its price by 5% until it sells. Let's use my clothing donation as an example: for the polo shirt, find the average price for "Polo Shirt" and use their taxonomy to select only: sold items, long sleeves, and pre-worn. There are 2,000+ such items and an average value of something around $40. Sell it for $32 and you now have a price that is both accurate and set to move the product.
- eBay is the ideal source for Goodwill because their inventories map nicely - but for other product categories, Goodwill could look to Amazon (electronics), Craigslist / Kijiji (furniture), etc and then reduce the price by a set amount.
- Moving inventory is critical for Goodwill because they have limited 'retail' space and inventory is constantly streaming in. Thus, I would do two things:
1) As mentioned already, I would continually reduce prices by a fixed percentage based on 'time on shelves'. It needs to move and the space isn't worth the extra $5 it can fetch with the right buyer.
2) Use Craigslist, Kijiji and Postlets to drive traffic. All of these sites do terrific jobs driving demand for items. Just post an ad for a "Garage Sale" on all three sites and you'll get enough replies to fill your inbox. If Goodwill can move their inventory list online (see below) - they can now bulk load it to sites like Craigslist and Kijiji through aggregators like Postlets. Not only will this deliver demand to the stores, it showcase Goodwill's inventory and hopefully attract new, local consumers.... after all, Craigslist and Kijiji have proven that buyers will travel anywhere for a deal.
So - how does Goodwill get their inventory online (or, at the least, into a spreadsheet) in an effective, automated manner? There are a couple ways: Instead of giving people carbon copies of receipts (which are poorly itemized anyhow), set up a portal that allows users to itemize there and receive an emailed copy later. The cost would be minimal (and would be made up quickly) and donors would love the option (I will certainly lose my receipts!). Finally, when items are priced on eBay (and equivalents), store that price electronically and map it to inventory... next time a long sleeved polo shirt is donated, a 'price sold' will be available.
And if you want to get really creative, the items could be bulk loaded and showcased online. I don't think this is worthwhile on an item-by-item basis, but there was enough great 'stuff' available that it could make sense to showcase...

I'm a few weeks late on this one, but we had a blast at The Juggernaut Film Festival. In addition to making its Chicago debut at the historic Music Box Theater, THE SHADOW HOURS closed the festival and took home awards for "Best Fantasy Film" as well as the "Audience Choice" award.
Big thanks to everyone who came out! Next up, New Mexico!

The Bellevue Farmers Market loves providing a platform for nonprofits and community partners to connect with our community members. As a weekly event that attracts 1200-1500 people weekly, the market is a valuable platform for any community group, non-profit or market partner organization looking to expand their reach, spread news about upcoming events, and connect with the public about products and services.
We accept reservations for 1-2 Thursdays during the season. If you are interested in reserving days, please fill out the form below and specify dates you are interested in. As the market has limited space availability, our priority spaces will always go toward our vendors before space is granted to non-profit booths. It can sometimes be difficult to accommodate more than two non-profits per market day.
The market charges nonprofit and community organizations a $15 fee per market day. Visiting organizations are not allowed to sell anything (donations may be accepted). Often, sheltered space is not available and guests must provide their own canopies. Canopies must match the specifications of the Market canopies: 10 x 10. All canopies must be anchored or tied down at all times with at least 100lbs of weight. Guests need to bring everything else needed to participate in the market-- table, chairs, etc. The market does have a limited amount of canopies and tables/chairs for rent. Please refer to our equipment rental information (link below) for more information. We encourage you to reserve equipment ahead of time to ensure availability.
Thanks for thinking of the Bellevue Farmers Market and considering it as a public outreach opportunity for your organization!

Teacher questioned the superintendent's raise at a meeting. She left in handcuffs, video shows
Deyshia Hargrave didn't think the superintendent of her school district should receive a raise.
So the middle school teacher from the Rene Rost Middle School in Kaplan, Louisiana, attended the Vermilion Parish School District's board meeting Monday night to voice her opinion.
"I have a serious issue with a superintendent or any person in leadership getting any type of raise," she said in a video of the meeting posted to Youtube. "I feel like it's a slap in the face for the teachers, the cafeteria workers or any other support staff we have."
Minutes later, a city marshal would take the English teacher to the ground and escort her out of the building with handcuffs on, KATC reported. It came after she asked questions to the board members assembled before her. It was supposed to be a public comment section with no questions allowed.
As seen in video from the meeting, Hargrave asked the superintendent "how are you going to take that money, because it's basically taking out of the pockets of teachers?"
The superintendent began to speak to Hargrave, who the board asked to leave and ruled out of order, KADN reported.
But then, as seen in the video, the teacher was confronted by a city marshal who said, "you are going to leave, or I am going to remove you."
"Is it against policy to stand?" she asked the board.
The marshal then reached out for her arm.
"Sir, do not," Hargrave responded as she pulled her arm away.
As Hargrave exited the meeting, someone was heard saying "this is the most disgraceful and distasteful thing I've ever seen."
Seconds after the teacher and marshal left the room, screaming echoed throughout the building.
The video captured by KATC shows Hargrave on the floor with the marshal on top of her telling the teacher to "stop resisting."
"I am not, you just pushed me to the floor," she screamed, her voice breaking. "Sir, hold on, I am way smaller than you!"
Hargrave was last seen in handcuffs as she was escorted into a police vehicle.
News of the chaotic exit quickly made the rounds on social media.
"Thank you for being the voice of all Louisiana teachers!" one person wrote on the teacher's Facebook. "Wish more teachers would be brave enough to voice their opinions! You are a blessing to your students and school."
"Thank you for your boldness and courage!" another wrote. "The best is yet to come."
But many argued that the teacher should have left peacefully when given the chance.
"No matter the situation she's clearly resisting arrest," a user wrote on WBRZ Channel 2's Facebook post about the story. "I can name plenty of people who didn't get the opportunity to WALK out in handcuffs. She should be grateful!"
Superintendent Puyau told KADN that the school board doesn't plan to file charges against the teacher. According to a board member, Puyau received a $38,000 raise on a three-year extension in a 5 to 3 vote. The median household income for Vermilion Parish was $47,083 in 2016, according to the census.
In May 2016, Puyau received a negative assessment from some members of the school board, USA Today reported. They pointed to district spending and his attitude toward employees as a reason why.
"This superintendent is an intimidator," board member Kibbie Pillette said in a TV interview. "That is his style of leadership."
But others brought up "high" test scores achieved under the superintendent as proof of his success at the time, according to USA Today.

Better Earth Volunteer – Kudriemitchie / Coongie Lakes National Parks SA
Conservation Volunteers Australia has an opportunity for the adventurous volunteer who loves the Australian Outback!
Travel from Adelaide to Kudriemitchie Outstation (approximately 1,100km north east of Adelaide) on the southern boundary of the Coongie Lakes National Park. Volunteers are required from Saturday 12th July to Tuesday 22nd July 2014 (11 days/10 nights).
The park has an infestation of the invasive introduced weed buffel grass and volunteer assistance is required to help control this weed. Buffel grass out-competes native vegetation and changes the fire regime, thus changing native vegetation communities.
As well as providing practical assistance, volunteers will also learn about some of the history of the region, remote Outback living, plant identification, weed eradication skills and fencing skills.
For this remote camping residential project volunteers will need to bring their own sleeping bag, pillow, sleeping mat, towel, torch, toiletries, change of clothes, medication. Volunteers are also required to bring their own long sleeved shirt, long pants, 2Lt water bottle, sturdy work or hiking boots and hat.
Please note volunteers will also need to make a financial contribution to the Project cost of $500 for 10 nights away ($300 concession).
No experience necessary. Suited to volunteers aged 18 years and over with good fitness levels as the role involves full day commitment over approximately 10 days.

Naval officer Ryan Gallagher broke Jenny's heart six years ago when he abruptly disappeared. Now he's returned but refuses to discuss what happened. Furious, Jenny has no notion of the impossible situation Ryan is in. With lives still at risk, he can't tell Jenny the truth about his overseas mission–but he can't bear to lose her again either.
~My Review~
Wow! Just wow! I fell in LOVE with Elizabeth Camden's writing all over again.(I know I might say that just about every book that I've read by her but I can't help myself.) I usually have her books on pre-order or whatever way I can find to get my hands on a copy of her books. I'm a fan of her novels and if you haven't read any of her writing. I highly recommend her writing!
Anyway, about the book. I was so happy and thrilled that the author really went to another level!!
At first I was really worried that I wouldn't like the main heroine in this story but I'm so glad to have had went on the journey with the heroine to see her ups and downs in the story.
I really loved the different culture that the author added in the story. It was a step in a the right direction I thought to include more diversity in Christian Fiction novels.
The story itself was touching and I devoured every last page. I can't wait for her next book to come out!
The hero,Ryan, was dreamy!! Swoon. There are only a select few in my opinion that are swoon worthy heroes. Number one swoon worthy hero of the year. Yay! Check. lol.
The story flowed and it had meaning in every page. I loved the writing and I give this book 4.5 stars. 🙂
Here's the cover for her next book,
Lucy is determined to keep working as a telegraph operator at a news agency, even though the arrival of Sir Colin Beckwith threatens her position. When she discovers Colin's shocking secret, she agrees to assist him if he helps her find her family's stolen inheritance–not realizing that the trail leads into a web of treachery, danger, and conspiracy.
To be released: October 3, 2017!!
I can't wait! 🙂
